Time to make our city green

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk THE CITY of Nottingham could serve as the inspiration to the solution of Chichester's traffic problems.

THat was the call following a meeting organised by campaign group Chichester Moves On this week.

Guest speaker Richard Wellings spoke

to residents as he has spearheaded a pioneering integrated transport plan in Nottingham.

Nottingham City Council is aiming to develop the greenest city for transport in the UK. He said: "It's important to look at the big problems. Chichester is a great place.

"I have had a great walk around this afternoon. THere are great places that do have a parking problem - but people come

to these places for the place itself.

"We can't keep building roads - there isn't enough space."

Richard spoke about how Nottingham was having problems with its air quality as well as traffic problems.

To counter this a range of new transport methods were implemented, he explained.

THey had buses powered by bio-gas, which ran alongside electric buses and trams.

THere were also special residents’ travel

cards, similar to London's Oyster card which allowed people to use the full range of transport options quickly, cheaply and easily, he said.

THe other transport options for residents included two park and ride bus schemes and six park and ride tram services. THis meant 95 per cent of residents were within 400m of a bus stop.

A HIGH performance football centre for women is to open at the University of Chichester after proposals were approved by the FA. THe foundation, which will be overseen by the governing body, will develop females in the game as players and coaches in top-quality academic facilities.

THe plans are part of a programme by the Football Association to double participation rates among women and girls across the south of England by 2020.

Professor Mike Lauder, director of the university’s Institute of Sport, said: “We have a long heritage of women's performance sport at Chichester and supporting the next generation of athletes through world-leading research and practice.

“THe centre will enable us to develop our research within the game and contribute to the FA's performance plan, drawing on our excellence in teaching sport performance and coaching.

“THis four-year project will enhance participation of girls and women from grassroots to high performance and provide a clear and structured route to success.”

THe women’s high-performance football centre opening at the university will build on its existing collaborations with Portsmouth, Southampton, and Brighton and Hove Albion football clubs, which currently provide coaching opportunities for its students.

THe FA’s decision to approve the foundation is part of its Gameplan to Growth programme that intends to build a sustainable and successful high-performance system for female footballers.

Up to 10 centres, including the one at Chichester, will open across the country from next year to increase the number of girls and women in football to six million within three years.

THe programme also aims to develop a pipeline of world-class talent by creating a pathway for women and girls to compete from grassroots to international competitions.

Baroness Sue Campbell CBE, the Head of Women’s Football at the FA, is responsible for the high-performance football centres across the UK She said: “THe establishment of these centres is a further proof point of the FA’s commitment to transform the future of women’s football in England.

“THey will ensure aspiring coaches and talented players in all parts of the country have access to the best training and support possible, providing us with the greatest opportunity for success at all levels of international football.”

THe FA’s Gameplan to Growth programme is set to work with the 10 approved centres at universities across the UK to deliver its plan of increasing the number of diversity of women’s coaches, referees, and administrators.

It will also develop participation opportunities as well as to provide a full competition review and improve the commercial prospects of the women’s leagues.

Check your smoke alarm WEST Sussex Fire & Rescue Service is reminding residents about the importance of cooking fire safety after smoke alarms across West Sussex were put to the test throughout June.

Fire crews from across the county were called to 71 automatic fire alarms in the last month, as a result of cooking.

THe majority of the calls were small incidents that did not cause serious harm or damage.

However, they firmly demonstrate the need for working smoke alarms in every home.

Gary Locker, group commander, said: “Preventing fires remains a key priority for our service, and we are encouraging everyone to remain vigilant when cooking.

“Each of these cooking related incidents could have had a very different outcome if these residents hadn't had working smoke alarms.

"We urge everyone to never leave cooking unattended and fit smoke alarms on each floor of their property.

"THese smoke alarms should be tested once a week.”

Statistics show that two thirds of fires in the home start in the kitchen, and the majority of these started on the cooker or oven.

However, having a working smoke alarm can significantly reduce the risk of damage and injury.

Open day fun

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk PEOPLE enjoyed learning more about the emergency services that protect us on a daily basis at an annual open day.

Chichester Police Station opened its doors to the public once again as officers from across the Arun and Chichester district – as well as from across the force - joined together to showcase the various operational units within Sussex Police.

Chief Inspector Justin Burtenshaw said: "We had between 12,000 and 15,000 people come to what is our last open day at the police station.

"THankfully, it was dry and all our visitors enjoyed it again.

"I was involved in the dog and public order display. It's a real honour to invite the public into our world and show them how we keep their communities safe with partners across Chichester and Arun."

Competitions ran throughout the day, as well as a grand raffle with all money raised on the day being donated to THe Chestnut Tree House, which cares for 300

children with life-shortening conditions across the south and for Dementia Support, based in Tangmere, who are building a first-of-its kind dementiafriendly hub for people with dementia, their families, friends and carers.

Strategy to support birds PEOPLE are being invited to have their say on a strategy to mitigate the recreational impact of new housing.

Bird Aware Solent is a partnership of local councils and conservation bodies, formed to reduce disturbance to birds spending the winter on the Solent coast.

It is currently funded by an interim strategy developed by the Solent Recreation Mitigation Partnership (SRMP).

Funding comes from financial contributions made by housing developers for each and every new dwelling they build within 3.5 miles of the SPA's.

Work to date includes a dedicated team of rangers working with members of the public along the Solent coastline.

A strategy has been proposed to fulfil the need to fund mitigation measures in the area and a public consultation about the strategy opened this week and will run until Sunday, September 17.

Councillor Sean Woodward, chairman of the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH), said: “THanks to the SRMP interim strategy, Bird Aware Solent has achieved a great deal already.

“I strongly urge developers and the wider public to contribute their thoughts via the consultation towards the definitive strategy, so we can secure the best deal for the environment we enjoy and cherish.”

Plans for traveller trade site deferred

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk PLANS to sell Christmas trees at a traveller site have been deferred after councillors raised concerns.

Chichester District Council's planning committee agreed to defer plans to sell Christmas trees for a month at Meadow View Stables in Monks Hill, Westbourne for a month from November 24.

THe site is a traveller site which comprises of one caravan.

Roy Briscoe is from Westbourne Parish Council.

He spoke about the fact that planning permission was originally refused by the planning authority and was overturned at appeal.

However, the planning inspector recognised that there was a potential conflict with commercial activity at the site and imposed a condition preventing such activity.

But he said that commercial activity had taken place on the site since this time.

He said: "We get numerous handpainted signs around the village which are unsightly.

"It wil generate initial traffic no doubt and parking will not be restricted to the site but car drivers will park on the road as in previous years.

"We also have legitimate Christmas tree sellers which this business will affect as they are required to pay business rates so cannot compete against such temporary

permissions."

Cllr Mark Dunn said: "I really do think that on this occasion, officers have got it wrong and we should refuse that encroaching activity on the site."

Cllr Graeme Barrett added that allowing trade temporarily could cause problems further down the line.

"THis is the tip of the iceberg," he said.

"We allow them to trade for a short period of time and all of a sudden they have got a business running there."

Meanwhile, Cllr Richard Plowman said: "It's beginning to look like there's quite a business going on here, rather than what we are being led to believe, which is the selling of Christmas trees.

"It would cause some problems and harm to the countryside."

Meanwhile, plans to convert a redundant agricultural building to a cafe have been declined.

THe plans at Earnley Grange in East Wittering also included rebuilding an existing shed into a house toilet and a proposed shed to be used as a shop.

THe cafe would have opened from 8.30am until 10.30pm, Monday to Friday, until 11pm on Saturday and until 5.30pm on Sunday.

However, concerns were raised about the proposed parking area which it was feared would cause significant harm to the landscape and the rural character of the surrounding area.

Officers at the council had recommended that councillors refused the application for this reason.

f Development area in Clay Lane

Residents asked for opinion on new housing development MEMBERS of the public are being asked to share their views on plans for 25 new homes.

THe proposal by Crayfern Homes is at Clay Lane, Chichester, and includes a mixture of bungalows, houses, apartments and maisonette duplexes.

Seven of the 25 properties will be affordable homes.

A public exhibition took place at the Westgate Leisure Centre in Chichester on Tuesday.

One woman who lives in Clay Lane, asked to remain anonymous. She said: "It's a fairly rural area and then you've got all this coming along.

"THe road is so busy already - it's

ridiculous.

"You come out of this road now and you are taking your life in your hands."

Kevin Wawman, director of Crayfern Homes, said: "Generally, I think people have been quite pleased to see the scheme as it is now, in preference to a prior design that was previously proposed.

"We are local so from my point of view, having built around Chichester previously, we would like to think that we are building sympathetically.

"Traffic has been a consideration.

But we are trying to offer a further degree of mitigation if we can, such as road signs."

THere was also a lot of singing and dancing and a ladyboy show.

Meanwhile, there was a stall providing information about THailand for those interested in visiting the country.

f Entertaining the crowds

POLICE and fire services will continue to work closely together following a decision about the future of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.

In 2016 the government announced plans for reform in fire and rescue services. Under these plans it was announced that legislation would be passed for local police and crime commissioners to look at the governance of local fire and rescueservices.

It has now been confirmed that the governance of the service will stay with West Sussex County Council.

THe council has said that the fire and rescue service and the police, together with other emergency services, will work together to make sure residents are getting the best from their emergency services.

Council leader Louise Goldsmith said: "We are delighted that Katy Bourne has seen the central role West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service plays in our county council and decided it is safe and well where it is.

"We look forward to working closely with her to continue to develop and build the modern fire service our residents deserve.

"We think the men and women in our fire service deserve to be part of an organisation that values them and that has ambitious plans for the future; which we do."

Group hopes to take some inspiration from green city Continued from page one Added to the green transport choices.

Stephanie Carn, 71, from Whyke Road, attended the meeting. She said: "It's about making the buses more attractive for passengers. THe buses are so hot and uncomfortable - they aren't modern.

"I think all of what we have seen tonight could work here.

"A lot of people come from Selsey, Bognor and THe Witterings to work here.

"THere's no one big solution but there are lots of little solutions. We've got to get at it from all angles."

Jenny Cole is from Chichester Moves On. She said: "I think this needs to be rolled out across West Sussex County Council because it would make sense to think about the A27, not Chichester in isolation, but from Worthing to Portsmouth, with Chichester on route.

"I liked the idea of environmentally friendly options and doing something about the fare structure.

"In Nottingham, the buses are owned by the council in some cases. THey are electric using bio-gases so the fuel is cheaper and they are newer so they meet the new emissions rules.

"THat means less air pollution so more

WE'RE ONLINE TOO!

people can travel. It will be cheaper so more people will want to use them."

Other suggestions inspired from Nottingham was the use of a park and ride service.

"THe A27 hasn't got any public transport," Jenny added.

"It's not got a park and ride or a speed restriction. It doesn't do the smaller things that would make the biggest difference.

It's not about transport for everybody.

"It's just talking about transport for the privileged 60 per cent who can afford a car.

"THose who are too young or too old or disabled aren't able to access the public transport in the way that they might like to because it doesn't run frequently enough."

Another idea was the use of real time electronic information screens at bus stops, which are used in many cities in the country already. THey would mean people would know when buses will turn up.

Chichester Moves On is a group of local residents helping to solve the town’s congestion problems in a way that does not divide the city and result in bigger and busier roads. More details: chicmoveson@ gmail.com

Business park to expand to cope with very high demand

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk HUGE demand has led to all the new units at a Chichester business park being snapped up – and developers are now set to expand it further.

Landlord and developer Glenmore Group began work on building 37 new units at Glenmore Business Park at Portfield Works, Chichester, last year.

THe units were built speculatively without a single deal in place and completed just six months ago.

Now, south coast commercial property specialists at Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has reported that every unit is now sold, leased or under offer.

Indoor trampolining company Flip Out has taken the largest unit of 22,610 sq ft, while World of Books, one of the largest internet booksellers in the UK, has taken a 10,000 sq ft space for warehousing and office use.

All the smaller units will be occupied by businesses based in the region, or have been bought as investments to be rented.

THe scheme has been so successful that planning permission has now been granted for a second phase, adding a further 40 small industrial units.

Lambert Smith Hampton were joint property agents for the first phase alongside JLL and Chichester-based Henry Adams.

Martin Trundle, head of the commercial department at Henry Adams, added: “It is clear that the excellent location and quality of the units at Glenmore Business Park make the site extremely popular with occupiers as demand for small to mid-sized commercial space in the region remains high.

“We very much look forward to the second phase of the development which

will further underline both Glenmore Business Park and the Chichester area’s reputation as a thriving hub for businesses in the south.”

Daniel Rubin, managing director at Glenmore Group, said: “I am delighted with the success of Glenmore Business Park, which is clearly meeting a need for good quality business accommodation in and around Chichester.

“We are now working on getting underway with the second phase of development which will go further to meet the demands of local businesses.”

Lambert Smith Hampton is a multiaward-winning commercial property specialist and a leader on the South Coast in the industrial property, office space, retail and investment markets.

Consultant takes on ride A CONSULTANT is putting his pedal power to good use by taking part in a 100 mile bike ride.

Dan Magrill, consultant urological surgeon for Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation Trust, at the Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital, is taking part in the 100 mile Prudential Ride London-Surrey 100.

THe event, which takes place on Sunday, July 30, celebrates the legacy for cycling created by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

All the money donated will go towards Tommy’s Charity, funding research into pregnancy problems and providing pregnancy health information for parents.

Dan, who can regularly be seen riding his bike around Chichester, said he was inspired to take part.

“Over the last year a number of people close to me have been affected with problems by pregnancy, and sadly one in four couples lose their baby during pregnancy or childbirth.

"Tommy's is a fantastic charity which

funds research into pregnancy-related problems and provides support and information to young parents.

"I'm hoping to make it through my first sportif at the end of July, and really appreciate your generosity with sponsoring me.

"If you're in London/Surrey that day please track me on the website/app and come and cheer me on."

THe ride starts at 5.45am in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, then follows a 100-mile route on closed roads through the capital and into Surrey’s stunning countryside.

With leg-testing climbs and a route made famous by the world’s best cyclists at the London 2012 Olympics, it's seen as a spectacular event for all involved.

THe Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 finishes on THe Mall in central London, shortly before 150 professional cyclists race in the Prudential RideLondonSurrey Classic on a similar route.

Recognition for hospital trust THE TRUST which runs St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester has won best organisation at the 2017 Patient Safety Awards.

Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was commended for its leadership and commitment to continuous improvement.

Dr George Findlay, chief medical officer and deputy chief executive at Western Sussex Hospitals, received the award, alongside the trust’s medical director, Dr Tim Taylor.

Dr Findlay said: “We are exceptionally proud to receive this much coveted award for best organisation for patient safety.

"It is a real testament to the passion, expertise and excellent quality care our 9,300 members of staff provide.

“THe award is also a further endorsement of Patient First – our

News 11

leading approach to continuous improvement.

"THis continues to receive national recognition and makes our trust such an empowering place to be employed, no matter where you work within the organisation.”

THe Patient Safety Awards took place during the annual Patient Safety Congress in Manchester where Dr Findlay was also invited to lead a session on how to develop a learning organisation.

Speakers at the event included Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Sir David Behan, chief executive of the Care Quality Commission.

More than 550 submissions were received, of which only 170 made it to the final cut.

From those, 21 winners were confirmed on the evening.

RECENTLY, I wrote about the process I undertake when moving in new tenants. A landlord contacted me to ask what I do at the other end of the tenancy, when moving tenants out.

Just like the move-in, I use a checklist to ensure nothing gets forgotten. THis includes taking final meter readings and a forwarding address for the tenants, so I can contact the utility providers who will send the outgoing tenants their final bills.

It’s then time to receive back the keys and check over the condition of the property. THis is when it becomes so important to have a thorough inventory (with photos) in place at the start of the tenancy. My memory simply isn’t good enough to remember every imperfection that existed. It also ensures the process is fair to the tenants; providing proof of any discrepancies and ensuring that they aren’t made responsible for something that wasn’t due to them.

My top tip for landlords would be to visit the property two weeks before the move-out date to undertake a ‘pre-check’ with the tenants. THis basically means inspecting the property and telling the tenants anything that might be an issue in regards to the full return of their security deposit.

Hopefully, they’ll then remedy any issues by the move-out appointment.

If there are any issues that remain when the tenants move-out (subject to fair wear and tear) this can then be pointed out to them and discussed in regards to the best way of resolving the issue. THis is why I recommend tenants are present when checking the property; so any issues can be raised immediately.

THis process should ensure the tenants are aware of their responsibilities, are able to return the property in the required condition to receive most, if not all, of their security deposit back and it should minimise any void periods caused by having to put things right.

f Jan Greene (fourth left)

Woman awarded after brave actions A MEMBER of staff from St Wilfrid's Hospice has been presented with an award.

Deputy ward sister Jan Greene was given a Royal Humane Society Award for her actions in helping to save the life of a man who collapsed while walking in Slindon Woods.

Jan Greene and a friend, who is a cardiac nurse, had enjoyed a walk earlier this year.

While she was getting ready to leave, she noticed a man sitting in the back of his car boot tying up his shoe laces who suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground.

Jan rushed over and realised that the

man was not breathing and had no pulse.

She quickly dialled 999 as she started CPR. When the ambulance and police arrived they took over the CPR, and had to shock the gentleman around six times to get a pulse on the way to the hospital.

He has since had surgery, having never experienced any previous heart problems, and is now recovered.

Since the incident, police informed Jan it was thanks to her quick actions the gentleman survived.

Jan was nominated by the force for the Royal Humane Society Award, which was presented to her in a ceremony at Hove cricket ground.

Love to love you Lavender

By Alex Dingwall-Main, professional garden designer and garden writer

A garden without any Lavender is a garden one plant short of a full border.

A more versatile plant is hard to find.

It is evergreen, isn't too big, lasts a long time (if its pruned) produces pretty, scented flowers and gets on well with its neighbours.

But she is not just a pretty face. She is a full on industry producing soap, oil, bubble baths and body lotions along with eau de toilette, shower gels and face creams. Don't forget scented candles and incense sticks, herbal teas and honey too, and that's before you have bought a drying up cloth or a lucky charm.

I lived and worked in Provence for nearly twenty years during which time I made a lot of people happy. I did it by creating gardens for them

I also made a lot of people cross sometimes. It was usually because clients become fed up by how long it seems to be taking and how much more

it seems to be costing. I in turn get fed up reminding them about the ‘extras’ they have ordered and need to be paid for.

THen the day arrives when the project comes to an agreed conclusion. Hands are shaken and new friendships forged.

Not surprisingly I soon learnt that the best time to 'sign-off' the venture was when lavender was performing its Provençal best. Everybody calms down and happiness reappears.

People like to escape from the colder climes of northern Europe or the winter in the southern hemisphere, to live out the Provençal dream. To walk into a landscape depicted by artists such as the painter Paul Cezanne (Mont SainteVictoire, see below) or the writer Peter Mayle (A Year in Provence) the movie director Claud Berri (Jean de Florette) or the Canadian sculptor, James Edward Ritchie (Galinea). A landscape of unequivocal beauty that is imbued with a sense of serenity and inspiration.

A SPECIAL celebration has been held to applaud the select few West Sussex young people awarded THe Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award this year.

More than 10,000 young people in West Sussex currently take part in the award scheme and just one per cent of these achieved the prestigious Gold Award.

Supported by West Sussex County Council’s Young People’s Service, there are more than 60 centres delivering THe Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) in

And nothing, with the possible exception of Olives, promotes the cliché of Provence more than lavender.

Everyone wants it big time. Driveways lined with it, houses surrounded by fields of it, pathways overflowing with it, tubs, pots and pans brimming with it. It is ubiquitous.

I fully understand the draw of this perfumed Mademoiselle. She is seductive in a way all unto herself.

Roses may help you to feel romantic, honeysuckle may make you light headed, but it is lavender that regenerates your olfactory buds like no other.

Oh the rivers of lavender...

Once, a client said to me she loved lavender and wanted to incorporate it in the plant plan but with a difference.

I suggested a 'river' that would flow through her garden. She liked the idea and we planted a two hundred metre long x two metre wide stream of lavender that flowed down a bank, through a quince orchard and out into the vineyard below.

I had to make some grown up bribes to the young guys helping me plant but we pulled it off. If the local lavender farmers had thought was bonkers before they I definitely knew I was afterwards.

West Sussex including schools, colleges, special schools, Open Award Centres and independent organisations.

Stephen Hillier, cabinet member for children and young people, said: “Each one of these individuals has shown a dedication which will impress their future employers as well as ingenuity, problem-solving ability and interpersonal skills. I wish them all the very best for their future endeavours.”

Walking with Lavender : I loved walking with my Collie on the gentle slopes of the lavender fields in July. Sometimes we would happen upon an old tree and have a picnic in the shade surrounded by kilometres of a flowering plant that is actually related to the mint family.

Chippy, for that was he, having shared my baquette would sit contentedly and sniff the enlightened air. THis monkey had gone to heaven!

THen comes Harvest time..

To get stuck in your car behind a tractor towing a huge trailer of freshly harvested lavender can be quite overwhelming.

THe density of the smell makes you feel nauseous. But these are not things to worry about here in Britain. THe lavender

we use in our gardens is different from the variety farmers use as a crop.

Types of lavender Lavandin (lavandula x intermedia) .

Commercial Is another variety of lavender which is less well-known but produces a highquality essential oil. Lavandin is often larger than lavender and has longer, more pointed flower spikes. It tends to flower later than its celebrated cousin and produces around half as much again more oil and contains between 7-12% camphor so good for colds.

THe other two, French Lavender - Lavandula stoechas Domestic (i) An evergreen shrub it usually grows to 30–100 cm (12–39 in) tall and occasionally up to 2 m (7 ft) high in the subspecies luisieri.

THe flowers which appear in late spring and early summer, are pink to purple, produced on spikes 2 cm long at the top of slender, leafless stems.

English Lavender Lavandula angustifolia Domestic (ii) It is a strongly aromatic shrub growing as high as 1 to 2 metres (3.3 to 6.6 ft) tall.

THe flowers are pinkish-purple produced on spikes 2–8 cm long at the top of slender, leafless stems.

THis summer the museum intends to share the stories of these brave men during a special exhibition.

ormance

THis exhibition on the Polish and Czech pilots in Sussex during the Second World War is to run from July 22 until the September 3 from 11am4pm each day (except on August 6 for the museum’s Family Day).

It will include explanation boards, a film on Polish and Czech airmen in Britain during the war and a new painting on Czech pilot Karel Kuttelwascher shooting down a German bomber on a night intruder mission.

THe museum hopes the exhibition will enlighten many as to the involvement of these nations in the Battle of Britain.

In March 1939 Czechoslovak Air Force pilots were ordered to lay down their arms when the Germans invaded their country. Many wished to continue the fight and escaped to Poland.

When this country was overrun seven months later, the Czech pilots made their way with Polish Air Force pilots to France where they served under the French flag during the Battle of France.

Following the capitulation of France in June 1940 many escaped to England.

THe Poles called Britain ‘the Island of Last Hope’.

On reaching England, the Polish and Czech fighter pilots, after language training (many could speak French but had no English) and conversion training to British aircraft were posted to RAF units and to newly formed Polish and Czech squadrons.

During the Battle of Britain the most

successful RAF squadron was the newly formed No 303 Polish Squadron which in six weeks claimed 126 enemy aircraft destroyed.

THe fighter pilot with most victories during the battle was Josef Frantisek, a Czech flying in a Polish Squadron.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh C T Dowding, Air Officer Commanding RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, later wrote of the Polish and Czech pilots: “I must confess that I had been a little doubtful of the effect which their experience in their own countries and in France might have had upon the Polish and Czech pilots, but my doubts were soon laid to rest because all three squadrons swung into the fight with a dash and enthusiasm which is beyond praise.

“THey were inspired by a burning hatred for the Germans which made them very deadly opponents”.

Later in the war, the highest scoring night intruder pilot was Karel Kuttlewascher, a Czech flying in the RAF’s No 1 Squadron, who shot down 15 enemy aircraft whilst flying in a Hurricane fighter from RAF Tangmere over enemy occupied territory at night in 1942.

On July 22 the exhibition will be opened by Alexandra Kent, the daughter of Group Captain ‘Johnnie’ Kent, a flight commander with 303 Squadron during the Battle of Britain who later in THe war commanded a Polish Wing.

After the war he became the Station Commander of RAF Tangmere.

Entry to the exhibition is included in the museum’s entrance fee. For more information on this exhibition see their website tangmere-museum.org. uk or call 01243 790090.

Visitors bring Korea into classrooms EAGER Felpham students impressed teachers from South Korea in a first overseas link for years.

The willingness of the pupils at Felpham Community College to volunteer their answers to questions surprised the four South East Asian visitors.

Mr Kim Woon Kyoung, 42, said: “I teach at a secondary school in Seoul and I’ve been a teacher for 17 years. I wanted to learn new teaching methods and to discuss teaching.

“One of the biggest differences between teaching in my country and here is the fact the students here raise their hands when they want to speak during a class.

“Most Korean students are too scared to raise their hands. But the students here are eager to join the discussions.”

His colleague, Ms Kim Eun Jung, 32, said: “I thought British education would be a lot more conservative than it is. Education in Korea is more affected by the American system. I really like the attitude that the students here can ask questions if they want.”

The other Koreans who spent seven days at the college were Mr Ryu Myunggil and Mr Kim Jong Yool.

Their time there was arranged through the University of Chichester. The visitors observed and took part in lessons and talked to students about education in their

home country.

They were also interested in the college’s commitment to the UN Rights Respecting School initiative and the work of the college’s student council.

They are among 46 teachers from Korea on the visit - 21 are secondary school teachers and the others teach in primary schools. They return to Seoul on July 28.

Paul Darbyshire, the college’s curriculum leader for business and vocational studies, said: “The college has not been involved in a programme like this for many years.

“It’s been very interesting. As well as talking about education, they have been telling us all about Korean culture, food and television. They have given us a real insight into life in Korea and our students have found it fascinating.”

Year 8 student Amber Hearn, 13, was one of the Felpham students who spoke to the visitors about Felpham's role as a Rights Respecting School.

“It’s been very interesting. We have learned a lot about South Korea and how their schools are run and how they are different from ours,” she said. “They have much longer school days. Some students stay until 11pm because their parents want them to get into the better colleges.

“Primary and middle schools are free but the parents have to pay £400 a term for each child in secondary school.”

` Tory defeat helps fight to keep field

f Learning Korean-style in Felpham

f Felpham pupils with the Korean teachers

A RARE defeat for the Conservatives has seen a residents' battle about the future of a Walberton field backed.

Rebel Tory members of Arun District Council joined opposition councillors to reject a call by the majority group to refer the prospect of the development of Tuppers Field back to a sub-committee.

The 25-19 vote, with seven abstentions, means the decision of the council's overview select committee last month to accept the principles of an independent inspector to designate the field as a local green space was accepted.

Councillors also decided by a slightly larger margin the field should no longer be considered as suitable for development and should be regarded as a potential local green space when Walberton's neighbourhood plan was reviewed.

Cllr Paul English (C, Felpham E) told last week's full council meeting: "What is being proposed is very basic, very simple and it just makes total sense."

The full council also agreed a review of how petitions presented by residents were handled should go ahead.

Of concern to councillors was the fact Arun's rules prevent petition organisers being able to speak to councillors or be questioned. * PLANNING approval is being sought by Wates Developments for up to 175 homes on Tupper's Field in Walberton.

The developer has asked Arun District Council to back its plans for the land east of Tye Lane.

Felpham festival of the arts a success CREATIVE students from Felpham had their talents celebrated at a special evening.

Felpham Community College's annual Summer Arts' Evening proved as popular as ever with large numbers of pupils and their friends and families attending.

On display in the main hall was an array of paintings, photographs and sculptures created by art students from across all years.

To accompany the work on display were various musical and dance performances by talented students including singing, piano playing, an abridged version of Little Shop of Horrors and even flamenco dancing.

THis celebration of the arts continued throughout the rest of the school with design and textile

projects displayed in the sixth form common room, further musical sets in the courtyard and a variety of students' films played on a big screen in the media department.

For assistant head teacher Michelle Kelly, the evening has always been an important event.

She said: "Celebrating creativity and the arts in today's society is becoming more difficult.

"We're a rights respecting college and are all about the children having the right to express themselves. Having this artistic outlet is really good, especially just after exam time.

"It's always a relaxed evening, it's one of the nicest events of the year."

Flamenco dancer Jessica BulpetteCaynes, aged 14, enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the event.

She said: "I've performed seven other times at the school.

"I love this evening, though.

It's nice here and there isn't a big crowd which is good."

Her peer, Linton Fogden,

14, was there to play the piano in the main hall. He praised the school for its dedication to the arts. "THere are lots of festivals and evenings here for us to perform at," he said.

THe media studies department also had plenty of work to show.

Teacher Dale Manning spoke of the course's popularity. He said: "We're always fully subscribed in media studies.

"It's nice to see the students having the chance to explore different forms of art."

Family members of the students involved were impressed with the variety of work on display.

Andrea Brown, from Aldwick, had attended the event several times in support of relative Caitlin Brown, who was performing. She said: "THis is the third year I've come to this event and I've enjoyed it every time.

"THe event has been really well planned. Tomorrow they've got a sports day which balances out really nicely with the creative side.

For members of the school's production of Little Shop of Horrors the evening provided an opportunity to have fun with the show as cast members swapped roles to try something different.

Charlotte Walters, 17, was among the cast members who enjoyed the occasion. She said: "It's exciting to be able to give it another go.

"THis atmosphere is different, though.

It's a bit more relaxed."

Mural colours the seafront EYE-CATCHING murals have given a row of hoardings on Bognor Regis seafront the wow factor.

The 32.5m long series of panels was transformed into a colourful and vivid series of illustrations to delight all those who walked, cycled or drove past this week.

The finishing touches to the artwork were applied by seven young people, mainly GCSE students from The Regis School, supervised by professional artist Sarah Gillings.

One of those adding his handiwork to the final design was Oren Somers-Baines, 16.

He said: "This is my second day here. I've never used spray paint before.

"I thought this would be a nice thing to do in memory of the fish and chip shop which used to be here."

Joining him was fellow 16-year-old Morgan Stephens. She said: "This mural is lovely. It draws your eyes to it. I'm proud of what I have done."

The latest mural on Waterloo Square's eastern side is the second to feature the It's Our Future slogan after the first was damaged in a major blaze which ripped through the adjoining fish and chip shop soon after the painting was completed last October.

Bognor Regis Town Council joined with the site's owners and supportive businesses to enable the new mural to go ahead.

Sarah said: "This is bright and vibrant and it will make people want to look at it.

"The young people have been really good.

They are using different techniques and more complex artwork."

German guests given lessons at town school f Some of the cars at last year's fete

Cars will be draw for village's fête ALL ROADS will lead to Middleton this weekend as an impressive array of time-travelling machines forms part of the area's annual fête.

More than 70 veteran, vintage and classic vehicles are due to be displayed for the delight of enthusiasts and families.

Visitors to Sunday's event will be able to see what travelling was like at the start of the First World War, through the 1920s and 30s to the early 2000s.

Another well-established highlight of the Middleton event is the dog show. Its popularity means it will start straight after the fête opens at 12.30pm on Shrubbs Field in Elmer Road.

Competitive tails will continue to wag well into the afternoon before they give way to other arena activities.

While these attractions are going on, the rest of the fête will be in full swing with a wide selection of stalls, raffles, tombolas, bouncy castles and typical entertainments for a large village event.

Car-booters will be well represented and craft stalls will fill the adjoining village hall. To keep everyone refreshed, the Scouts' hall will become a tearoom.

This year's good cause for the fête is the Chestnut Tree Children's Hospice and its specialist care for children in Sussex and south-east Hampshire with life-limiting conditions.

GERMAN students got a taste of life at a Bognor Regis school.

One of the highlights for the party of visitors from one of the town's German twins was a traditional and tasty English cream tea.

The young people from the Kant Gymnasium in Weil am Rhein and two of their teachers spent a morning at the school, pictured below by sixth former

Jess Fitzpatrick.

They were hosted by students from Years 9 and 10 and attended a range of lessons. Sebastian Power, a Year 9 student, was positive about the whole experience. He said: "It was interesting to meet other people from another country and try out my German."

The visit was arranged by Bognor Regis Twinning Association.

Its secretary, Bob Bonner, said: "The visitors thoroughly enjoyed their time at The Regis School and learnt a lot about life in an English school."

Previous visits to the school have taken place through the association.

The school is part of the United Learning group of schools which provides education to more than 30,000 children across the UK.

A Night With Rebecca Ferguson August 11 Worthing Pavilion theatres@adur-worthing.gov.uk 01903 206206 www.worthingtheatres.co.uk SINGER Rebecca Ferguson shot to fame after being a runner-up on the seventh series of hit ITV talent show, The X Factor.

Since then, the Liverpool-born songwriter has gone on to sign for major labels such as Epic Records as well as Columbia Records.

It was in 2011 that she put out her first album, Heaven, which was a commercial as well as critical success that reached a high point of number 3 in the UK charts.

Taking influence from artists such as Amy Winehouse, Aretha Franklin and Kings of Leon, she has been nominated for two MOBO

awards as well as one MTV Europe Award.

Ferguson has made it across the pond in the US thanks to touring over there more than once, and she followed up her fine debut with two more albums in the form of Freedom and Superwoman.

Expect to hear the powerful title tracks from all of her albums as well as a range of beautiful melodies she's written throughout her career.

Her blues, soul and R&B style is popular with a wide range of music lovers and her heartfelt vocal delivery really stands her out in a class of one.

Always busy writing new music or touring the world, Rebecca Ferguson is as loved by critics as she is her fans.

Tickets cost £45.

"With her unique, soulful voice and empowering songs Rebecca is in demand across the country."

"Funny-man Bill Bailey shares his life on the road."

BELOVED comedian Bill Bailey is coming to Portsmouth for one night with his hilarious tour Larks in Transit.

A compendium of travellers’ tales, this show explores Bill's general shenanigans of 20 years as a travelling comedian.

Raised in the West Country, Bill was once in a group called The Famous Five – an unsuccessful band with only four members. Although a talented musician, Bill always felt an urge to slip jokes into the music.

Eventually, it was at a John Hegley gig that Bill was finally inspired to fuse music, jokes and theatricality and become a stand-up comedian.

With musical virtuosity, surreal tangents and trademark intelligence, he tackles politics, philosophy and the pursuit of happiness in his latest tour.

Plus, Bill fashions a symphony from a ringtone, tells the real story of Old McDonald, and a re-imagines the Stars and Stripes.

Expect to be in stitches hearing about two decades of touring larks from a comic described by the Sunday Times as ‘a virtuoso’, and who the Daily Telegraph calls ‘the brainiest comic of his generation’.

Tickets cost £25.50.

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Moviel Release date: 24 July Director: David Soren Starring: Ed Helms, Kevin Hart, Jordan Peele

THE Beguiled is an atmospheric thriller from acclaimed writer/director Sofia Coppola who brought us the exceptional Lost In Translation.

CAPTAIN Underpants is based on the worldwide sensation and bestselling book series, and boasts an A-list cast of comedy superstars!

The story unfolds during the Civil War, at a Southern girls’ boarding school. Its sheltered young women take in an injured enemy soldier. As they provide refuge and tend to his wounds, the house is taken over with sexual tension and dangerous rivalries, and taboos are broken in an unexpected turn of events.

This raucously subversive comedy for the entire family tells the story of two overly imaginative pranksters named George and Harold, who hypnotise their principal into thinking he's a ridiculously enthusiastic, incredibly dim-witted superhero named Captain Underpants.

Y f The Beguiled f Dunkirk DunkirkBaby Release date: 21 July Director: Christopher Nolan Starring: Fionn Whitehead, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance Genre: Action, Drama, History THE year is 1940. 400,000 allied soldiers are stranded in northern France, a mere 26 miles from British shores. With their backs to the sea and their enemy closing in, they need a miracle.

Chronicling a pivotal moment in the Second World War, Dunkirk tells the story of Operation Dynamo, the incredible evacuation attempt where courageous civilian sailors joined the war effort to rescue the stranded soldiers from their perilous situation.

Dunkirk is a film without a singular hero as Nolan turns to an ensemble of veteran stars (Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, and Tom Hardy) and fresh-faced talent, who together offer a haunting reminder of just how young and inexperienced these soldiers were It tells a multi-perspective story of the remarkable war heroes who, whether on ocean or sky, beach or landing ground, never surrendered.

Friday, July 21, 2017 ` THe Fountain Address: 29 Southgate, Chichester, West Sussex PO19 1ES Phone: 01243 781352 ` www.fountainchichester.co.uk

Fabulous food at The Fountain This traditional pub boasts a wealth of history and delicious meals, writes Daniel Field THE CATHEDRAL city of Chichester is well known for its Roman roots, so I was fascinated to learn that THe Fountain, which I visited for lunch, had been built against the original Roman Wall, part of which can be seen in the restaurant.

Not only this but it is also one of the oldest pubs in the city, having opened its doors back in 1798. It is reputedly haunted by ghosts, including the spectres of a man, a dog and a Roman soldier. On the day I visited, however, the only spirits I saw were behind the bar!

It was a very rainy day when I popped in for lunch but luckily THe Fountain is situated right next to Southgate car park, which is

extremely convenient. Inside it boasts log fires, and pictures of bygone Chichester, and outside there is a welcoming array of seating; the perfect spot for watching shoppers come and go.

THe Fountain attracts a wide age group of customers and is well known for its live music at the weekends too.

THe lunch menu is very much based on classic British and widely popular dishes, offering steaks, burgers, fish-based dishes, pies and pasta.

THere is a weekly special menu and it was from here that I chose my starter, the tempura battered chilli squid, excellent value at ÂŁ4.95.

` THe Fountain is one of the oldest pubs in the city, dating back to 1798 ` It attracts a wide age group of customers and is well known for its live music at the weekends, too.

I was served by the delightful Bella, who was very attentive without being obtrusive, and served the dish on its rustic wooden platter promptly.

THe squid, which smelt divine, had been deep fried in light crunchy tempura batter, with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and fresh and colourful side salad with a subtle dressing.

Every mouthful of the squid was perfect: hot, tender, and exceptionally well seasoned. A starter I would highly recommend to anyone - it was simply delicious.

Main course was hard to choose, as there were a great many tempting choices on offer, including many classic favourites.

I opted for the lasagne, from the range of seasonal specials (maybe that ghostly Roman soldier was influencing me after all!).

It arrived piping hot, resplendent with a lavish top layer of splendidly gooey melted cheese, served with garlic bread and more of the fresh salad - the perfect accompaniment to the richness of the lasagne.

THe ragu nestling under the cheese and encased by layers of pasta was thick and meaty, with a rich tomato and onion flavour, clearly made lovingly by a chef who understands Italian flavours.

THe desserts are also home-made, and here the choice was even more difficult, how could anyone choose from treacle sponge, bread and butter pudding, apple and blackberry crumble, tiramisu or chocolate fudge cake?

I opted after much deliberation for the crumble, with its crunchy sweet topping, and fragrant chunky fruit served with hot creamy custard. It was a very fitting end to what had been a delicious lunch.

THe Fountain describes its food as fresh and tasty and I would say that sums it up very well.

THeir menu is bursting with popular dishes that all of the family would enjoy that are home-cooked using fresh ingredients.

It’s the kind of wholesome popular food that everyone enjoys, whether for a special occasion or just because you fancy a really tasty home cooked meal in a friendly and historic location.

Food & Drink 25

Venture into the new world with wines at M&S Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys

A CURSORY visit to M&S in Chichester might be attributed to a sixth sense that a 25 per cent reduction on six bottles or more was in the offing.

It was therefore incumbent upon me to avail myself of this enticing offer and I duly selected a 2015 Red Claw Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay at an offer price, if one of six or more, of £10.13.

This wine from the Yabba Lake in Victoria, Australia is bottled after having spent ten months on yeast lees and aged in 40 per cent new oak French barrels. It is decidedly fresh, fruity and clean on the palate with citrus and stone-fruit to the fore and the subtlest of oak spice adding welcome complexity. This delightful white wine has a hint of vanillin oak on the nose, a touch of praline and grapefruit with white peach flavours, is crisp with a fine texture to boot and culminates in a very long pleasing finish - a veritable panoply of flavour in the glass and one I unreservedly commend to you.

Another white wine of note was the Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay, which

for an offer price of £7.50, is of a rich straw colour indicating a grape from mature wines and exudes nutty and peach flavours and, being unoaked, is refreshingly clean on the palate and a wine that should offend no guest.

If you are tempted by a rosé on these warm summer nights (take note, Danny and Sandy) then the 2016 Rosé d'Anjou for circa £6.38 could be your salvation, given its strawberry and cream postWimbledon flavours and hints of redcurrant and rosehip and is seriously worth your consideration.

I next turn my attention to three Malbecs of different provenance. The purple black Malbec originates from the Cahors region in South Western France, the location of my initiation to Malbec.

This grape variety being highly sensitive to frost and disease, the transportation thereof to Argentina has added to its global reputation and quality with other new world countries including Chile and New Zealand developing the same grape variety.

If you buy a burly, 'costaud' in French parlance, big red of Cahors and allow it to soften over a few years you will have a perfect accompaniment to roast lamb.

I begin my comparison of three Malbecs with the 2016 Las Dalias Mendoza Malbec being of excellent vintage and fruity with hints of liquorice and absolutely oozing bramble fruit and at an offer price of just £5.25 is well worth a punt.

My second Malbec hails from South Africa in the form of the 2016 Weather

Station Malbec with the grape first being planted in the twenties.

This wine, at a crazy offer price of £4.50 if you purchase two bottles thereof as part of six, is dry, smooth and sporting a good nose and is a real find and one to stock up upon at this price.

My final Malbec is from the renowned Rapel Valley in Chile whose hot, dry

INGREDIENTS • 3 large pears, peeled and thinly sliced • ½ cup dried cranberries • ¼ cup plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar • 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest • 1 tablespoon orange juice • 1 cup breadcrumbs

Pear and cranberry strudel

Method 1. Preheat oven to 200°C. 2. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

3. Combine pears, dried cranberries, ¼ cup sugar, orange zest and orange juice in a medium bowl.

4. Unroll filo pastry on to a clean, dry surface. Cover with a sheet of wax paper and then a damp kitchen towel. Place a dry kitchen towel with a long edge toward you on the work surface. Sprinkle the towel lightly with breadcrumbs.

5. Lay 1 sheet of filo on the towel.

Starting at the centre and working toward the edges, lightly brush the filo sheet with oil. Sprinkle lightly with breadcrumbs.

6. Lay another sheet of filo on top; brush with oil and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat with 5 of the remaining sheets of filo; lay the last sheet on top and brush with oil.

7. Mound the pear filling in a long 3-inch-wide strip on the filo stack, leaving a 2-inch border at the bottom and sides.

8. Fold the short edges in and, starting at the long edge nearest you, roll the filling and filo into a cylinder, using the towel to help lift as you roll. Roll up firmly but not too tightly, to allow a little room for expansion.

9. Brush the strudel with oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar. Carefully transfer the strudel to the prepared baking sheet, placing it seam-side down. Poke several steam vents in the top using the tip of a sharp knife.

10. Bake the strudel until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Just before serving, dust with icing sugar.

Friday, Friday,July July21, 7, 2017 THe indoor swimming pool is situated under a stunning Scandinavian style vaulted wooden ceiling, and is utterly inviting in all seasons!

Winter, spring, summer or autumn! Heated to a perfect temperature.

Upstairs there is a relaxation room, called the nest, where quite frankly we could have stayed all day! Here you can simply snooze, or read an array of magazines they offer, or sip the refreshing cucumber and lemon water or herbal teas. All you have to do is take in the soft gentle music, which is preparing you for your wonderful treatment that lies ahead.

I used to be a massage therapist on board a luxury yacht, (many moons ago) so for me getting a massage is a real treat, but can be a little frustrating if not quite up to standard! I was not to be disappointed here, as my massage treatment was totally invigorating and relaxing all in one. THe pressure was perfect and my

tension was gradually worked away. If you don’t ever treat yourself to a massage, then it’s about time you did. THe health benefits that have been proven time and time again from regular massage are not to be underestimated for your general well being.

After our wonderful massage, we chilled by the pool with a glass of bubbles, and as if that wasn’t enough fabulousness for one day, we then sat in the sunshine with our delicate, beautifully crafted sandwich and cake selection afternoon tea.

While I cannot promise you zero calories, I can promise you that if you want to treat yourself, or a loved one to a very special time, I would highly recommend THe Spread Eagle Hotel for your ultimate Spa and dining experience. Being literally on our doorstep, who could want for more!

THE SPREAD Eagle hotel in Midhurst is a very well known and well-respected Hotel in the heart of the South Downs national park.

THe tranquil spa has recently been refurbished to the highest standard, adding 3 brand new stunning treatment rooms to their already beautiful and highly professional treatment areas.

THe air conditioned Gym has all the latest equipment, and the hotel also offers fitness classes such a yoga and Pilates.

Dating back to 1430, the charm of this hotel is unique, with twists of modern and old blending perfectly together. It offers 39 beautiful rooms, and is the perfect place to retreat from the busy modern world.

When my daughter and I arrived at the spa, the relaxing smell of aromatherapy oils wafted into the reception.

It immediately gives the feeling of ‘entering into another world’ and the calmness embodies you. THe friendly staff were informative and helpful as we were handed our robes and shown around this impressive part of the hotel.

Health &

Well-being

by Denise Kelly

Kick the butts to feel the benefits of a smoke-free life I'M ALWAYS very shocked and surprised to see how many people still smoke.

I was under the impression that smoking was very unfashionable after the 90s, but obviously not! THere is so much information available now I would expect it to be regarded as ‘uncool’. THere’s no branding anymore on the packets, and all you can see is pictures of horrific things such as diseased lungs and deformities! Yuck!

THe warnings are all there, yet people still do it. If you lived in my grandmother's era, you were more than likely prescribed a packet of cigarettes to deal with your stress but long gone are those days.

However, if you do still enjoy a puff, take note: quitting smoking will only ever benefit you. THat said, some damage to your body from smoking heavily or for an extended period of time could possibly be irreversible.

If you developed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or chronic bronchitis, you may have scarring in your airways that can't be reversed.

If you have emphysema, that's also permanent.

Emphysema is a disease in which the walls of the fine air sacs of the lung (the place where the lung does its business of exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide) break down, so tiny little air sacs become bigger ones, and they're less efficient at transporting oxygen.

THe lung can't grow new walls for these air sacs. THe lung loses tiny blood vessels and can't grow new ones, and that makes it permanent.

THe good news? THe sooner you quit, the less likely you'll be to have to deal with these issues at all. If you do develop them, the sooner you quit, the less severe they'll be. Time is essential here. One thing is for sure, your breathing will improve if you quit the ciggies!

Part of your improved breathing may actually

involve coughing. Some people find that they cough a little more right after they stop smoking, which is quite natural.

THat's the lungs cleaning themselves out. THe coughing usually decreases drastically within nine months. You can speed up the process by using air purifiers, avoiding air pollution as best as you can, trying deep-breathing exercises and yoga, and steering clear of too much dairy, which can possibly stimulate mucus production and make you cough more.

Your lungs will start improving in as little as a few weeks to a few months after you quit smoking. THe little hair-like projections in the airways that we call

cilia, which are paralyzed by smoke, begin to work again. Breathing will get better. And exercise capacity will greatly improve.

Just 12 hours after you quit smoking, the amount of carbon monoxide in your blood decreases, which increases the amount of oxygen in your blood, giving your heart a well-deserved break. A year after you quit, your likelihood of a heart attack and risk of heart disease drops to half that of a smoker's risk.

THe benefits keep coming over time: 15 years after quitting smoking, your risk of heart disease finally drops to the levels of that of a non-smoker, and your risk of other cardiac issues, like arrhythmia and angina, drop to normal levels, too.

Just two hours after you quit smoking, your blood circulation improves drastically. Nicotine raises your heart rate and blood pressure, and within just hours of quitting (sometimes just 30 minutes), your heart rate and blood pressure lower to a normal, healthy rate.

You'll feel the difference: When your circulation is a healthy level, your fingers and toes, which may have felt cold before, will finally start to warm up.

You may also face some psychological withdrawal symptoms. Mood swings, depression, confusion, a shortened attention span, jitters, irritability, and powerful cravings, both for cigarettes and for food, can be expected.

Just remember: all of this is temporary. For most smokers, psychological withdrawal symptoms start to fade after about two weeks, and they'll likely be completely gone in nine months.

Health & Beauty 27

Sometimes when you first quit smoking, your cravings for cigarettes are felt along with hunger pangs and extreme food cravings. THis is totally normal because you're depriving yourself of nicotine, which stifles hunger.

Each time a new shot of nicotine hits your brain, it activates the body's natural "fight-or-flight" stress defences. THose defences release stored fats into your bloodstream, which is why you may not have felt hungry when smoking – and why you may have blood sugar swings when you quit.

It can also dramatically improve your hair and skin!

Lighting up can dim your skin's glow, but quitting can restore your youthful lustre to a degree. THe thousands of chemicals in cigarette smoke cause a breakdown in the major structural components of the skin – elastin and collagen.

When these components are damaged, your skin loses its firmness, elasticity, and strength. What's more, nicotine narrows your blood vessels, which limits the blood flow to your skin. As a result, less oxygen and nutrients get to your skin cells, which can cause dullness and creasing. Quitting smoking may not be able to entirely reverse wrinkling, but it will absolutely keep you from aging prematurely any more than You may already have, especially in the crow's feet areas under and around your eyes.

Smoking increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, which includes coronary heart disease and stroke.

Community News & Views VIEWS are being sought from residents in the Post area about the future of West Sussex County Council's adult social care services.

The council is considering a new approach where people, their families and carers can meet with council staff in local settings to discuss their social care needs.

The council wants to: • Talk to more people at an earlier stage and support them to stay as independent as possible • Hold informal drop-in sessions in local communities, where people can talk to the county council about social care • Help to connect people to services and activities in their local communities The proposals take account of what people have told the council about their experiences of using adult social care.

The new approach has been trialled in some areas of the county since January this year.

A survey is running until August 11 for people to make their views known: haveyoursay.westsussex.gov.uk/legal-democraticservices/supporting-lives-connecting-people The survey asks for people’s views on the proposals and asks what would be important to them if the council took this approach.

Cllr Louise Goldsmith, the council's leader and cabinet member for adults, said: “We really hope to hear from as many people as possible who use our services, their families and carers, voluntary and community organisations, and all local people who have an interest in adult social care. We will then consider all the views before we decide on the way forward.”

A decision will be taken in the autumn by Cllr Mrs Goldsmith to decide how the adult social care services will be provided in the years to come.

ACID attacks will be one of the main topics raised by Sussex police and crime commissioner when she challenges the county's top police officer today.

Katy Bourne will question Chief Constable Giles York about the key challenges facing the force to tackle assaults using corrosive substances.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Mrs Bourne said: "There have been 23 assaults involving corrosive substances in Sussex in the past three-and-a-half years, though there has not been any increase year-on-year.

"However, it was recently reported that the number of assaults involving corrosive substances in England and Wales has risen by 30 per cent in two years, with men accounting for two-thirds of these victims.

"I am concerned that the true extent of acid attacks may be hidden because victims are afraid of reprisals.

"I want to know what Sussex Police is doing to encourage more victims to come forward.

"I would also like to find out whether more can be done to restrict the availability of these substances and how the force is targeting retailers that sell these products to remind them of their responsibilities."

Other topics which will be under discussion will include the response to a joint report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and the HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate into harassment and stalking.

Mrs Bourne will also be seeking an update since March's meeting on plans to better educate police officers and staff to understand and recognise harassment and stalking and accurately record instances reported to them.

She will want to know as well how extra funds from the policing precept paid by households have been used to strengthen public protection investigators and expert youth teams.

HERITAGE experts have given their backing to a cafe in Bognor Regis.

The Hotham Park Cafe has been recognised in the latest Sussex Heritage Awards.

The judges awarded the contemporary structure, above, their Highly Commended status in the awards' commercial category.

These are intended to recognise and reward the highest-quality conservation, restoration and good design of newly-built projects, while encouraging the use of traditional skills or crafts.

The awards are organised by the Sussex Heritage Trust and its slogan 'design for the future, respect for the past' matches the design brief for the cafe drawn up by park owner Arun District Council.

Cllr Stephen Haymes, who collected the award on behalf of the council, said: "This is a fitting tribute to everyone involved in the cafe project.

"As the judges noted, the cafe sits beautifully in the parkland setting and provides

ADVISORS in Arun and Chichester Citizen's Advice have alerted more shoppers to the risk of scams.

They spent a morning at Sainsbury's in Rustington, above, to raise awareness of being conned in person or by phone or email.

A spokesman said: "We were actively engaged in over 100 conversations with people and, sadly again, we found a number of people who had been the victims of scams.

a great service for all park users."

The building was designed and constructed by the district council with architect Phil Brown and builders Falcon Homes.

It was created to be in keeping with the heritage of the park, which is in a conservation area, and features the Grade II-listed Hotham Park House.

Now in the 19th year of the awards, the judges' comments included: 'The cafe has become an important component of the regeneration of the park' and 'contemporary but attractive, fitting well into its surroundings and complementary to the environment of Hotham Park.

A great team effort'.

The cafe was opened two years ago by Tom Barnes. He fitted it out, furnished and decorated it before he opened the doors to the public.

He serves freshly prepared, locally sourced food and drinks daytimes and evenings.

"In addition, we were able to reach out through a number of Neighbourhood Watch groups to a number of communities in the area."

The visit to the store followed one to Tesco in Shripney Road. They form part of a month-long campaign to stop residents being conned out of potentially thousands of pounds. Different age groups are being urged to remain vigilant against unexpected messages.

BRAZIL was linked to Bognor Regis to help residents who are partially sighted.

A volunteer in the South American country was the first to answer a call from a meeting at the 4Sight charity.

The latest Macular Society session at the Victoria Drive premises featured an astounding demonstration by RNIB assistive technology co-ordinator Davinder Kullar.

He opened the Be My Eyes app on his iPhone. This was developed last year and links a smartphone's camera with a network of helpers around the globe so they can describe the scene to a visually impaired person.

The Brazilian man who responded to Davinder's request easily relayed the items on the tables in the meeting room.

Davinder said: "This is a very easy app to use. It is free to download and the calls are free. It is great if you want a bit of help. The volunteers are people who are happy to spend five or ten minutes helping those with restricted vision when they have some spare time."

Among the handful of 4Sight members at the session was Middleton man Ken Jenkins, below with Davinder.

Ken, 85, of Buckingham Gate, said: "This is my first time here and I wasn't sure what I was going to find.

"But I'm surprised, surprised, surprised with the technology which is out there to help us.

"It's good to know you can still be independent as long as you understand what you have got to do.

"The technology is quite remarkable. We are very fortunate to live in this day and age with all these devices."

The session last Thursday was the fifth in the tie-up between 4Sight and the Macular Society.

4Sight outreach worker Dan Batchelor said: "There is a big demand for information about technology to help our members.

"We have four or five monthly technology groups around West Sussex. Knowing how to use the technology allows people with poor eyesight to keep in touch with their families and to find out what is going on around the world."

Stella Black, the Macular Society's London and south east regional manager, also attended the session to talk about the charity's work with those who have lost their central vision, usually through macular degeneration.

The group's next meeting will be from 10.30am-12.30pm on October 12 at 4Sight. It will feature the Calibre audio library.

SPILLING the beans was the main message from Alan Sargent’s fascinating and illuminating talk on Behind the Scenes at Chelsea to Donnington Gardening Club.

Alan told many tales of life at Chelsea as a contractor building the designers’ very diverse gardens. A Fellow of the Institute of Horticulture and Founder of the Association of Professional Landscapers, his career spans more than four decades. Starting in 1968, he steadily built a landscape business, until, in 1982, he won a British Association of Landscape Industries Award for the best domestic garden scheme.

He continued winning many awards, including more than 60 Royal Horticultural Society medals at Chelsea, Hampton Court, Tatten Park and Gardeners World Live, initially as project manager and constructor, and increasingly as designer, as well as builder. Alan became head gardener at Goodwood Estate between 2001 and 2007, achieving a lifelong ambition to be part of an historic garden, by restoring the private gardens.

It came as a great surprise to members that winners in all categories at Chelsea have to pay for the gold, silver-gilt, silver and bronze medals, and also the contractors have to pay £165 for the water-tap for their site!

The foibles of the various TV presenters were interesting, among them Peter Seabrook. who always chose to begin his presentation by walking down steps, and Alan Titchmarsh who hid in the contractor’s shed with a cup of tea to learn his lines.

Reservoir built in heart of the city to help fight potential fires during World War Two

By Pat Saunders, volunteer at The Novium Museum ABOUT ten acres of the land that forms Oaklands Park was formerly known as ‘Penny Acre’ and had, up to 1549, belonged to St George’s church.

It was so-called as it was ‘land on which a penny of rent was paid’ annually.

In 1939 Chichester City Council acquired the land for £11,000. At this time it comprised of residential buildings, a farmyard and farm land.

In the early part of the Second World War a massive water reservoir was built which could be used to provide water to fight fires in the event of a blitz. It had been built to the dimensions of an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Hay-making was also a prominent sight in this area throughout the duration of the war.

After the war the park was opened up for sporting use.

THe first club to be offered facilities at the

park was Chichester RFC (previously known as Chichester-Bognor RFC between 1928 – 1934).

It was based at the Dolphin & Anchor Hotel with matches played on pitches at Lavant, Chichester Police Station and in Somerstown.

Another club to form and use facilities in the park are the Chichester Bowmen, an archery group, formed in 1954 in response to a letter to THe Chichester Observer. THe first shoot was held on May 19, 1955.

South of the archery field is the football stadium. THe present football club was formed in 2000, as a result of a merger of the Chichester City team and the Portfield team.

Portfield’s pitch was required by the council for housing.

As a result of the merger, the facilities at Oaklands were upgraded. THe club currently plays in the Southern Combination League Premier Division.

Among trees behind the rugby club is a purpose-built shooting range and clubhouse for the Chichester Rifle and Pistol Club which was constructed in 2006. THe club had originally formed in 1945 after the Home Guard were stood down in the last days of the Second World War. THe club had previously been located at a site in Quarry Lane.

However, this became unsuitable and new facilities were constructed in Oaklands Park.

In the south-east part of the park the Chichester Rackets and Fitness Club has several outdoor courts, one of which in the winter months is covered by a dome allowing tennis to be played all-year-round.

It also hosts a tennis academy to support younger players and encourage them to take

part in LTA competitions.

In November, 2011, behind the Festival THeatre, local community group ‘Transition Chichester’ planted a community orchard with trees of old fruit varieties. Subsequently, they created a community garden near the College Lane entrance.

More recently, from around 2012, the ‘Falcons’ softball team has played in the park in the summer months and competes in the Solent Softball League.

In 2013, while Chichester Festival THeatre was undergoing its conservation programme, plays were performed in the ‘theatre in the park’, a purpose-built tented structure holding 1,400 seats.

Oaklands Park has developed from farmland into a vital park for the city.

All-New Kia Picanto THE All-New Kia Picanto offers a new, more youthful and energetic character for town and city car drivers. Boasting an assertive new design and a high-quality, high-tech new cabin, the latest model also offers buyers greater potential for customisation and promises to be the most versatile car in its class.

The new Picanto is powered by one of three petrol engines, including Kia’s new 1.0-litre turbocharged gasoline direct injection (T-GDI) power unit. When the new 1.0-litre T-GDI engine goes on sale during Quarter 4 this year, it will be the most powerful engine ever offered in the Picanto, and the first time this car has offered a turbocharged petrol engine.

Customers have a choice of 11 vibrant paint finishes designed to make the car stand out.

Among the six new colours available to buyers are ‘Lime Light’, ‘Shiny Red’, ‘Aurora Black’ ‘Pop Orange’, ‘Sparkling Silver’ and ‘Celestial Blue’ pearlescent metallic paint finishes. The Picanto is fitted with 14-inch steel wheels in its most basic form, and customers can select one of four aluminium alloy wheel designs, ranging from 14-inch to 16-inch in diameter.

The exterior of the Picanto is complemented by new projection headlamps with LED indicators and LED daytime running lights.

For the first time, Kia also offers the Picanto in a new ‘GT-Line’ specification, inspired by the sportier appearance of the company’s higher-performance ‘GT’ models. In GT-Line specification, the exterior is completed with

red, silver and black highlights in the grille, side intakes, along the side skirts and in the rear valance, as well as chrome-tipped twin exhausts.

Inside the new Picanto, Kia designers have created a more modern, refined cabin with new materials and layout adding a greater sense of quality. The predominantly horizontal design adds greater visual width to the interior, highlighting the increased cabin dimensions.

The new Picanto provides occupants with more leg- and head-room than best-selling rivals, while a lower step height makes getting in and out easier. The boot grows to a maximum 255 litres – the most of any car in the class – and also features a two-step boot floor, which can be raised or lowered by 145 mm to create additional space as required.

New refinement measures adopted for the latest Picanto include a new soundproofing panel beneath the dashboard and in the floor of the cabin, while expandable soundabsorbent foam has been applied to lower sections of the A- and B-pillars. Beneath the bonnet, a new sound-absorbent engine cover and reshaped air intake help to isolate engine noise from the cabin. The structure of the engine mounts has also been revised to counteract engine vibrations. As a result of these upgrades, the new Picanto produces a quietest-in-class 39 dB of noise at idle – 3 dB less than the current A-segment leader – and 68 dB at a steady cruise.

The large, ‘floating’ 7.0-inch HMI

touchscreen at the centre of the dashboard houses a navigation system with 3D map, and is available with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ for full smartphone integration. A rear-view parking camera with dynamic guidelines is also on offer to buyers who want an additional level of assurance when completing parking manoeuvres. An optional wireless smartphone charger and USB port, located at the base of the centre console,

ensure drivers can keep mobile devices charged on the move.

The new Picanto is also the safest A-segment car Kia has ever made, featuring double the proportion of Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) compared to the outgoing model and a selection of active safety technologies.

You can see and test drive the all-new Kia Picanto at Newbarn Kia, 65 Aldwick Road, Bognor Regis; telephone 01243 841200.

Mencap Visiting Volunteer (Bognor Regis and Selsey) – Mencap Could you or someone you know make a positive impact on the life of a person with a learning disability? Can you spare 12 hours a year? Mencap are looking for volunteers to join their Visiting Service, an empowering service to people with a learning disability, after their parents have passed away. You would need to volunteer around six times a year in your own time to support people to enjoy the activities they love. This could be anything from staying in for a cuppa and cake, to going on day trips and outings.

Volunteers receive induction and ongoing support from the volunteering team, plus expenses and mileage. This role is for a volunteer who is passionate about supporting people with learning disabilities and who is looking for the opportunity to build a supporting relationship.

Buddy Support – Aldingbourne Trust The Aldingbourne Trust is dedicated to helping local businesses, communities and people with learning disabilities to reach their potential and enjoy life, together.

They are committed to the support and well-being of

people with learning disabilities; developing their skills, helping them gain employment in the local community and encouraging them to lead more fulfilled, independent lives.

The Aldingbourne Trust belongs to My Network where they support individuals to live a more independent life, but from time to time they need assistance. They are looking for two “buddies” (one male and one female) to assist clients with doctors’ appointments, attending meetings and shopping trips. You will need to be very flexible as timings of appointments can vary and sometimes be very unpredictable.

Leaders and Helpers (Uniform and Non-Uniform) – Bognor Regis and District Scouts As an ever-growing movement in the Bognor Regis District, the Scouts are desperate for help with all sections of Scouting, from Beavers (age 6-8), Clubs (8-10.5), Scouts (10.5-14), to Explorers (14-16) and to help with Committees and Support. They are faced with a crisis at the moment in that they have an ever-growing need for new Sections and Groups, but do not have the adult support to make this happen, and are facing a further

problem in maintaining existing Sections. So much so that some may have to close, which means young people will not have the opportunity to Scout at all. Volunteering can be in all ways, being a uniformed Leader, making tea or helping with Crafts, or supporting a Group as a Committee member - they need you!

Volunteer BID Ranger – Chichester BID Chichester BID helps keep the City centre vibrant, current and prosperous. They promote Chichester as a wonderful place to live, work, visit and do business, regionally. They are looking for a bright and cheerful individual to help distribute information sheets to the City centre businesses either over a day or spread across a few days once a month. They would also like someone to visit the main car parks to check that their map dispensers with City maps are in good stock at least once a month - they have helpers who fill these for them - but help is always appreciated, filling a few at a time rather than carrying a heavy load. You must be mobile, friendly and able to make notes if required to take messages to the BID Team. Help within the office, market research and support at events is also always desired but not essential.

To apply for any of these opportunities, or to see other opportunities in your area, please go to www.do-it.org.

Nelson (40:13, 23rd overall).

A spokesman for the group said: "This really is a wonderful opportunity for the whole community to come together in helping to ensure that the legacy of Beckie and Lucy continues.". * Chichester Runners' busy summer season continued as a good contingent from the club went to Brockenhurst for multi-terrain New Forest 10.

Out of the 666 finishers, those from the club were Ian Thompson (291st – 1 hour 28 minutes 49 seconds), Vicky Balandis (331st – 1:31:35), Hugh Davies (531st – 1:47:27), Sonsoles Acosta (585th – 1:52:58), Mel Hammond (613rd – 1:57:53), Amanda Trafford (614th – 1:57:53), Margaret Enstone (633rd – 2:02:43), Lis Peskett (634th – 2:03:36), Bridget Hicks (2:11:45) and Claire Gunther (2:11:45).

Elsewhere, James Baker continued his good form taking the Round Hill Romp leg of the West Sussex Fun Run League at Steyning.

Baker ran the six miles in 34:41 with Graham Woodward (15th – 40.59) and Fay Cripps (41st – 43.28) also putting in a good performance.

f Bognor A picked up two wins this week

BOGNOR have given their West Sussex Bowls League hopes a big boost after two victories in the space of the week.

The Waterloo Place side had won just twice all year as they struggled for form.

But the past week has seen the A team beat two out of the top three to boost their hopes of finishing the season on a high.

The run started on the road at East Preston, where Bognor secured six points thanks to a 78-77 combined score.

Then at the weekend, they produced a shock by defeating table-toppers Worthing Pavilion A 93 to 71 to secure an eight point win.

Those two victories have lifted to third in the West Sussex Division One, albeit having played upto three more matches than others.

Fellow league one side Chichester A sit sixth in the nine-team division after splitting the points with Norfolk A. Chi next play Southbourne at home on Tuesday while Bognor will travel to

Crablands on Thursday. Both matches start at 2pm.

In Division Two, Pagham will be looking to bounce back from a heavy 87-71 defeat to Bognor B when they host bottom-side Storrington today. A comfortable win will lift the club back into contention to win the division.

In Division Three, third-place Chichester B travel to Middleton on Wednesday knowing a victory will lift them top.

Elsewhere, Selsey-based Little Spain Bowling Club travelled to Littlehamptonbased Norfolk BC for a friendly match and came away with a 69-96 shot defeat despite winning on two rinks.

Jackie Mayzes, Chris Lankshear and Trevor Palmer (won 21-17) and Jack Sutherland, John Ballinger and Trevor Plaistow (won 2117) were the stand out performers.

Little Spain finished the week with a 12shot victory at home in another friendly match against RAFA.

Pagham in promotion battle after nail-biting two-wicket win

f Pagham in pre-season action versus Cowes

Lions ready for 2017/18 PAGHAM chairman Tony Shea is confident his new management duo can deliver good times to Nyetimber Lane.

The Lions had high hopes of a promotion push in the SCFL Premier last term.

But inconsistency cost them dear and, following a poor run after Christmas, Pagham finished in fourth.

There was some cheer, though, after Mark Bennett's side sealed the Peter Bentley Cup for the first time in more than 20 years.

This time round Bennett is not in the dugout - but Shea has been keen to maintain some consistency, promoting last year's assistant manager Richie Hellen and under-21s boss Tom Simmonds to the top job.

With the majority of last season's squad signing on for another year, the chairman believes his club can match the showing of last year.

Shea told the Post: "There is no target this season although I hope we can match how we did last year.

"Like everyone at any club in the country, I'm absolutely hoping to get some silverware.

"We have got the reserves and under 21s which is all

geared towards the first team and that's the way we are playing it.

"If they get any silverware, all the better. There's no pressure on the managers to do that but, if we can nick a cup then great, while every side goes into the season with the aim of winning the league."

Pagham's ranks have been boosted with the addition of Chichester City's Jamie Horncastle and Tom Gannon, a former Crawley Down player who has recently moved to the area.

Both have featured in the Lions' pre-season fixtures which included a 4-1 win over Cowes at Nyetimber Lane on Saturday and a 4-2 victory over SCFL Division One side Selsey on Wednesday. Preseason preparations continue tomorrow with a home double header against Fareham.

Shea said: "We're really pleased with how things have gone in the pre-season.

"The joint manager situation is going fine. It is helped that both were involved in the setup last year so they both know about the club and the players. That's worked really well for us and at the moment there's no issues at all."

f Scott Murfin (l) goes close for the Lions

Email@ sport@sussexpost.co.uk

PAGHAM CC kept up the pressure at the top of the Sussex Division Three table with a nerve-wracking two wicket win over Brighton & Hove Seconds.

Stuart Hanks' side bowled excellently to dismiss the visitors for 189 inside 50 overs, Nikki Tabberer (4-72) being the pick of the bowlers.

After being reduced to 18-4, Pagham rallied thanks to contributions from Gareth Davies (46), Stuart Rutter (35) and Wayne Green (25).

When Davies was removed, the Nyewtimber Lane side still needed 42to win. But the ninth wicket pair of Albert Burgess (17) and David Leader (26 off 12 balls) smashed the home side to victory with a quickfire unbeaten partnership of 43.

The win leaves Pagham fourth in the table, just four points behind Haywards Heath in second and nine behind first-placed Chichester Priory Park.

With two sides being promoted at the end of the year, Pagham will need to keep their form to the season's conclusion. They return to action tomorrow, welcoming Heath to Nyetimber Lane knowing that a win could put them in pole position for promotion.

Talman hat-trick in Mid's win MIDDLETON CC will be looking to make it back-to-back wins after registering their first victory in a month in the Sussex Premier Division.

Sean Heather's side have struggled in recent weeks to get over the line, leading to a run of four losses in a row. But that was reversed on Saturday with a five-wicket win over Bexhill.

The victory was in no small part due to a remarkable bowling performance from Russell Talman, who took seven for 12 in a 12 over spell, which included a hat-trick.

Talman's spell reduced the home side to

a first innings score of 104, a total which Middleton looked to be cruising to as Angus Robson (45) and Will Burrows (48*) put on 73 for the opening wicket.

After losing five quick wickets it was left to Burrows and Nick Smith (4*) to guide the side home. Next up is a trip to bottom-side Ansty tomorrow (12pm), who are without a win all season.

In division two, Bognor's good form continued with a two-wicket victory over Billingshurst.

Joe Ashmore continued his excellent form

with the ball taking his summer wicket tally to 39 after registering figures of 4-52 in the home side's total of 178 all out.

In reply, Bognor faltered until Jerome Jones (51*) and Josh Seward (40) put on 77 for the seventh wicket to help Max Ashmore's side to victory and lifted them out of the drop zone.

Next up is a trip to bottom-side Portslade tomorrow (12.30pm).

In division three, a century from opener Peter Lamb (102) helped Chichester Priory Park stay top of the table in a 128-run victory over Roffey Seconds.

Matthew Bennison (68) also performed well as Chi posted a score of 245 for six after winning the toss. Three wickets apiece for Abz Patel, Daniel Joseph and Jay Hartard contributed to dismissing the home side for 117.

Chi, who are unbeaten in five, travel to Brighton & Hove Seconds tomorrow.

Elsewhere, Chichester Priory Park seconds lost an emotionally charged affair with West Chiltington and Thakeham by 123 runs at Goodwood. Before the match, both sides held a minute's silence in memory of West Chiltington player Tim Monday who died while playing last week.

In reply to the visiting side's 228 for 8, Chi struggled and were dismissed for 105.

Tomorrow Chi host Billingshurst Seconds, while Middleton Seconds host Pagham Seconds.

Chi City on road in their FA Cup opener CHICHESTER City will kick off the new season with a tough trip into the unknown after the FA Cup draw pitched them against Hellenic Premier outfit Binfield FC. The Oaklands Park side will travel to their hosts' ground just outside Bracknell in Berkshire on August 5 eager to show they can replicate last season's excellent form.

After finishing third in the SCFL Premier last term, manager Miles Rutherford is hopeful his team can push on in 2017/18 - starting in the world's most famous competition.

The winners, who will be guaranteed ÂŁ1,500 prize money, will then host either Wessex Premier side Horndean or Western League side Melksham on August 19.

Chi boss Miles Rutherford admitted it was not the ideal start to the year but he was confident the team would be ready in just over a week's time.

He said: "We know have tough draw in the FA Cup against a side we don't know too much about. The winners will have an even tougher match so it has certainly not gone in our favour."

Chi continued pre-season preparations with a 2-1 win over Brockenhurst last Friday before a 4-2 victory against Wessex Premier side Alresford Town on Monday.

The side's final run out before the competitive business begins is on Tuesday against Isthmian South side Hastings United at Oaklands Park (7.45pm).

f Pompey striker Brett Pitman celebrates giving his side the lead at Nyewood Lane on Saturday

Crane says Rocks' squad are shaping up well for season Next Game

Horndean (A) Tomorrow, 3pm

ROCKS' stalwart James Crane claims the Bognor Regis squad have never been in better shape as they gear up for new campaign.

Football returned to Nyewood Lane on Saturday after the short summer recess when League One side Portsmouth visited for a friendly.

Despite missing the hastily arranged friendly due to prior commitments, Crane said the squad was in great shape for the forthcoming National League South season.

And the goalscoring left-back claims a major reason for that is club captain Sami El-Abd, who was forced to step down as manager last week after just 12 days at the helm.

Crane said: "We're a lot fitter at this stage than we've ever been.

"Everyone has been putting the hours in and we are doing a lot of high intensity work and sprint work with minimal rest.

"To be honest, it is Sami who is pushing us.

What he has done in terms of training has been brilliant and it's really starting to show on the pitch."

Bognor's 2-0 friendly loss to Portsmouth was the first chance that many Rocks fans had of seeing the team since the Ryman Premier play-off victory over Dulwich in May. Since then, manager Jamie Howell has departed for Eastbourne Borough while his replacement El-Abd lasted less than a

fortnight, stepping down after being told by employers Brighton and Hove Albion the job was a 'conflict of interest'.

That led to general manager Jack Pearce taking up the reins once again, although he will be supported by coaches Darin 'Dabba' Kilpartrick and Gary Charman.

Crane, who has been at the club since 2008, said, despite the apparent upheaval, the mood has never been better in the camp.

He said: "The change has been quite seamless really.

"Jack may be old school in terms of what he is and his experience but everyone listens to him as he's been through so much.

"How he talks to people is up with the modern game and what I would expect of someone at this level".

Bognor have bolstered their ranks in recent days with the signings of creative midfielder Pat Suraci, who last appeared for Gosport Borough, and ex-Portsmouth youth player Tommy Lea. Another Pompey apprentice to sign on for the new campaign is Tommy Scutt, who was on Bognor's books towards the end of last season.

Perhaps, more importantly, goalkeeper Dan Lincoln appears to have committed to the club for the foreseeable future, returning to the Rocks' ranks for the Portsmouth friendly.

Rocks eye up Crawley fixture BOGNOR'S pre-season campaign steps up a gear next week as the Rocks play three matches in the space of six days.

It's a fortnight now until National League South football returns to Nyewood Lane with Bath City visiting on August 5.

After being put through their paces at the usual pre-season training sessions at East Dean, the Rocks were given a real test when they hosted League One Portsmouth on Saturday.

Two goals from former Bournemouth striker Brett Pitman secured the win for Pompey, though Tommy Scutt came close to a consolation in the second period.

The Rocks followed that up with a 5-2 win over Chichester City on Wednesday thanks to goals from Ollie Pearce (2), Jimmy Wild, Jimmy Muitt and James Crane.

Next up is a trip to Wessex Premier side Horndean tomorrow (3pm), who are managed by former Rocks' boss Michael Birmingham.

Then, on Wednesday, it's back to Nyewood to host League Two Crawley Town (7.45pm), who are now managed by former Champions League winner Harry Kewell. Pre-season is completed with a match at Southern Premier side Gosport Borough on Friday (7.45pm).

f Rocks' defender Sami El-Abd repels a Pompey attack

IT'S NOT taken long but already the Rocks are well into pre-season mode.

First up was a match with local rivals Worthing. I got to Woodside Road early to get my football fix.

It was a real experimental game but one in which was very impressive from Bognor’s point of view.

It was great to see Calvin Davies back in for the season he came on in the second half.

We also had two new impressive players - including Pat Suraci (ex-Gosport) and Kieran Rowe, who scored later in the second half.

The goalkeeper was Bournemouth’s third choice, Callum Stanton, who stepped in and wasn’t really tested at all throughout the game.

It was a 4-0 finish. Talking to Kane Wills before the game, it was clear that the Rebels would also experiment.

Indeed, we didn’t see Wills or James Fraser play until the second half.

But the rather satisfying thing was that we managed to dominate much of the game, with crisp passing and a high level of play that was hard for the hosts to deal with.

Ollie Pearce got us off to a great start, followed by a neat goal by Jimmy Wild. Harvey Whyte and Jimmy Muitt also had great run outs.

Doug Tuck smashed a great goal in later on and then Rowe came on in the second half to add to the tally.

All in all a very impressive performance. The summer training must be working.

I still believe the real test will be our game at home to Crawley Town to see where our players are against stronger opposition.

The side did have one of those matches this Saturday against Portsmouth.

After the initial match had been cancelled, the Rocks were asked to help out after Pompey's would-be opponents, Eastleigh, could not host the match.

So the Chichester City game got rearranged and Bognor welcomed Pompey to Nyewood Lane this past Saturday.

News was also announced before the game took place that revealed that Sami El-Abd had to step down as the new player-manager due to work commitments with Albion in the Community.

It is a shame but I think having him remain as a player is key. It seems that Gary Charman has taken on the role of manager with Jack Pearce overseeing everything as general manager.

The Pompey game was, of course, well attended by fans from along the south coast.

A miscued pass back into the box by Sami El-Abd allowed the visitors the lead after just five minutes, with Brett Pitman putting it into the net.

The striker added to his tally on 86 minutes. The game finished 2-0 and really Bognor did OK. There were still concerns after the game as to where most of our goals will come from this year.

It is my understanding that we are on lookout for a proven goal-scorer. But obviously these are hard to come by.

However, I was impressed by left back Tom Bird and Ollie Pearce was trying his best to create something but Portsmouth were just too strong here.

We travelled to Chichester City this past Wednesday which took place after I wrote this, so I am hopeful that we performed well and got a positive result.

I expect more experiments with players, though, while we still have the opportunity.

After all, the new season is just around the corner with the return to National South seeing us take on Bath City at home on August 5.

I am hoping for a decent result to start the season but I know it's going to be difficult this year.

See you at Horndean tomorrow - Birmy country!
