Planning for ten new homes BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk PLANS for ten dwellings in Chidham have been approved by Chichester District Council. A proposal for the reuse of previously developed land for residential development of ten dwellings and associated works was agreed.

CHICHESTER

THe approval at the site of Greenacre Nursery on the Main Road in Chidham, was made at the planning committee meeting on Wednesday. THe application had originally been deferred because of legal arguments concerning the principle of redevelopment Councillor Andy Collins, vicechairman of Chidham and Hambrook Parish Council, claimed that the

development would make good use of what was a derelict brownfield site. He said: "Although this site is technically in the Chidham area, it cannot be considered beautiful. "If the site is left as it is, the parish council will be concerned for the safety as it is at the moment it is potentially dangerous. It should be allowed for development, if only to improve the safety. In its current state it can only be

regarded as an eyesore." Mr Johnson, a resident of Chidham, was opposed to the planned development. He said: "I am concerned this planning application represents a significant threat to the Chichester Harbour area of outstanding natural beauty. "THis site is not suitable. It doesn’t meet a local housing need and it is, at least, premature." Turn to page seven

Crowdfunding for new toilet block WHYKE United football club have started a £5,000 crowdfunding campaign. THe club, based in Chichester, are trying to raise funds for a toilet block at the club's site based at Kingsham Primary School. As a club, they work hard to provide affordable football to all and thanks to the support of volunteers the club has been running over 40 years. THe toilet block would have dual-use, providing facilities for the school during the week and providing much needed facilities for training and matches held in its grounds.

Club secretary Martin Tucker said: "We need toilets to access for players and supporters to use on training and match days over the course of the weekends. "It would be wonderful to raise the money to gain facilities we so desperately need. Please support us in our quest. I have been with the club since 1999. We have never had access to toilets on site. "THis will enable us to offer comfort breaks to all our players, staff and visitors and move us into the 21st century."

Recycle week tackles issues BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CALLS for households to increase their recycling are being made by Chichester District Council. Following on from last year’s recycle week success, supermarkets including Tesco, Waitrose, Budgens and the Co-op have again teamed up with the council to encourage people to recycle more products. During this year’s recycle week from September 25 to 29, councillors and officers will be on hand to deliver information about recycling and cutting waste and to answer any questions that residents have about their recycling or waste. In order to see as many residents as possible, the team will visit Tesco Extra, Chichester; Waitrose, Chichester; Budgens in Midhurst; and the Co-op in Selsey High Street, at various times during the week. “We estimate that around 57 per cent of what is placed in the black household waste bin could actually be reduced, reused or recycled,” said Cllr Roger Barrow, the cabinet member for contract services at the council. “Even the most diligent among us fill our black bins with up to 20 per cent of

recyclable material such as glass, plastic bottles, yogurt pots, and paper that should be put in the burgundy recycling bin. In West Sussex alone, this amounts to 32,000 tonnes. “I urge everyone to really help us and to think before throwing anything out and ask yourself, can it be recycled at home instead? "We accept paper, card, tins, cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles, glass jars, aerosols, foil, plastic pots, tubs and trays - even tablet blister packs – in the district recycling bins. “We know that sometimes it can be confusing when it comes to recycling, especially with all the different types of packaging used these days. "But, we are here to help you and we would love to meet you and advise you while we are out and about in the district during recycle week.” People will be able to find out lots of information about what can and can’t be recycled at home in the burgundy bin. THere will also be information about the different places where items such as clothes, shoes and small electricals can be recycled. THese can’t be recycled at home but there are other outlets available to ensure they don’t get thrown away in the general waste. During recycle week local district councillors and the council’s recycling

team will be located as follows: Monday, September 25: Tesco Extra, Chichester, 10am–6pm. Tuesday, September 26: Waitrose, Chichester, 10am–6pm. Wednesday, September 27: Tesco Extra, Chichester, 10am–6pm. THursday, September:

THe Grange, Midhurst, 10am–4pm Budgens, Midhurst, 11am–1pm. Friday, September 29: Waitrose, Chichester, 10am–6pm Co-op, Selsey, 11.30am-1.30pm.

Police appeal for revival cash theft TENS of thousands of pounds have been stolen from the Goodwood Revival motor festival near Chichester. Police are currently investigating the armed robbery of £75,000 in notes from a security van at the annual crowdpulling motoring extravaganza and are appealing for witnesses. At 12.30am last Saturday, police were called after two security guards who were with the van had been attacked at the site. THe audacious theft occurred at one of Europe's most famous motoring events which saw thousands of people attend over the course of the three days. THe guards, who had been transporting cash from ATM machines from around the Goodwood Motor

Circuit site, were attacked by several men wearing balaclavas and brandishing weapons. Police have reported no firearms or vehicles were seen during the theft but the thieves' weapons included a crowbar and a machete. One of the guards, a 50-year-old man from the West Midlands, sustained a minor shoulder injury. Detective Constable Ceri Spratt, from Sussex Police, said: "We are asking for any witnesses or for anyone else who may have any information about the robbery to contact us online or by calling 101, quoting serial 29 of 29/09." You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

PropertyNews In the past 12 months, the average asking price in Chichester is down by 8 per cent, currently standing at £325,000. It was interesting to see though that the average asking price of flats in Chichester has actually increased by 17 per cent while the average asking price of detached, semi-detached and terraced houses have all dropped. If we look a little further back though, this story is completely reversed. Asking prices in Chichester have increased by an average of 27 per cent in the past decade. Yet in this time-frame it is Chichester’s flats that have increased the least (+14 per cent), being outperformed by detached houses (+17 per cent), semidetached houses (+41 per cent) and terraced houses (+51 per cent). You could therefore conclude that flats have had a great run of it in the past 12 months, whilst in the long-term the enduring popularity of a house is the more popular choice, which leads to greater capital growth. It’s a similar narrative when we look at the size of the property in question. In the past 12 months the smaller properties (with one and two bedrooms) have increased the most (up three per cent and six per cent respectively) whilst large houses with five or more bedrooms have slumped by 26 per cent. Yet when we look at the data over the past decade, it is the large houses with five or more bedrooms that have increased in value the most (by 57 per cent) while the one and two bedroom properties have vastly underperformed, increasing by just two per cent and six per cent respectively. While all of this data only compares what is on the market now against what was available exactly one and ten years ago (and thus it’s conceivable that particular month wasn’t reflective of overall trends) there does seem to be some logic as to why we are seeing the above patterns.

` Extra planning resources required WAITING times are due to be cut for plans in the Chichester area to be decided. Extra resources are being put by the district council into its planning department to help it cope with a rising number of applications from residents and businesses. THe decision has been made by councillors in order to keep waiting times down and to meet customer needs, following a significant increase in proposals during the past five years. Last year, the council dealt with a total of 4,390 planning and related applications across the district, made to itself and the South Downs National Park Authority. Cllr Susan Taylor, cabinet member for planning at the district council, said: “We need to respond to the increase in applications by making sure that the planning team is adequately resourced to meet time-scales and the needs of our customers. “We are committed to providing the very best customer service, and so want to keep waiting times down and make sure that we are responsive to our customers needs." THe council aims to appoint three employees - including a manager and an officer - at a total annual cost of nearly £120,0000 to bolster the department. THe council also intends to change two current apprenticeship posts into planning assistant/apprentice posts, so they can be retained after their apprenticeship ends.

Spirit of aviation reaches 10 years BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk DRAWING crowds at the annual Goodwood Revival was the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation display. In its 11th year and celebrating its ten-year anniversary, the show gave the public a unique viewing of vintage aircraft. THe collection was a diverse range of all aircraft including helicopters, gliders and planes. Among the aircraft displayed were a Lockheed P-38 Lightning, a Bristol Blenheim MkI L6739, two Spitfires and a 1942 Douglas C53. Aviation general manager Rob Wildeboer is proud of the showcase. He said: "What’s unique about this display is when the public see aircraft in museums or displays, the aircraft are

cordoned off with ropes and barriers. "At the Revival, visitors can get up close to the aircraft and see every detail. "THe displays allow collectors and the public to see aircraft they wouldn’t normally have a chance of seeing." Rob has been working at Goodwood since 1986, starting as an aircraft engineering apprentice. In 1990 he learned to fly at Goodwood flying school. "I have worked my way up from an engineer, chief engineer, aviation general manager and flying school manager. "I was always interested in planes. As a child I would build planes out of Lego or make Airfix models. "I am really fortunate to do what I wanted to do. It’s more than just a job to me," he said. Rob believed the display, which shows 30 vintage aircraft dating from before 1966, added value for the spectators coming through the gate.

f A family enjoy the aircraft

"For the first year, I went to 30 different people I knew to ask them to bring their aircraft," he said. "Now, more and more people are offering to bring their aircraft here. All the planes in the display fly. "THe static display provides a forum where the public can get up and close to the aircraft." THe aircraft are judged on a Sunday by a celebrity panel of between six and eight VIPs. THis year the top three-placed aircraft from last year were back which Rob believed made it more difficult to judge. He said: "THere are also five planes here this year which are the only examples of their type left in existence. "When we first started doing this display, we had some concerns we may run out of aircraft. Luckily, the restoration business is bigger and the content is becoming replenished so aircraft are being restored all the time. "We've actually had it before when an owner completed the restoration on an aircraft the day before the Revival and the test flight was the aircraft’s flight to get to Goodwood. THat is a testament

to the fact that aircraft owners enjoy the event so much." Freddie March, Charles March's grandfather, has a fascinating history, mostly revolving around the worlds of motor racing and aviation. THe Freddie March Spirit of Aviation seeks to celebrate his connection with flight, while also giving a nod towards Goodwood Motor Circuit's period as RAF Westhampnett during the Second World War. Rob added: "I never thought we would have the spirit of aviation, or that we would ever get to see Spitfires flying from here. To be able to help influence that has been a fantastic experience. "We once had a DC6 aircraft here. It’s a big aircraft so when we saw it taking off and landing and we realised there was still a lot of runway left we wondered what we could have next that would fit! "I enjoy seeing the aircraft arrive on THursday. Its nice all weekend knowing the public understand what it's all about. "Sometimes we have themes. We celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain with aircraft. Next year we are looking at doing something for the centenary of the Royal Air Force."

I talk less, listen better, trust my students more, and dare to be creative.” THe innovative concept, which originated in Scandinavia, has been adopted by schools throughout the UK to help children develop motivational, emotional, and social skills. Dr Reavey, a National Teaching Fellow who specialises in environmental education, developed the approach to give his Chichester students an opportunity to be creative in their university learning and in the workplace after they graduate. University pro vice-chancellor Dr Mark Mason said: “Duncan is a wellknown and highly respected colleague at Chichester. “THis is, in part, because of his passionate and consistent commitment to sharing good ideas, innovations and enhancements in relation to learning and teaching with colleagues. “Duncan shares these ideas in an immensely encouraging and collegial way which has been highly successful in terms of the significant number of colleagues who have deployed them in their own practice.” THe annual Times Higher Education awards, now in its 13th year, recognises the outstanding academic achievement at universities throughout the UK.

Dr Reavey will find out if he has won the prize at the black-tie ceremony in London alongside thousands of academic and professional university staff on THursday, November 30. Times Higher Education editor John Gill said: “We received hundreds of entries from all corners of the UK so to be short-listed for the awards is in itself a significant achievement. “THese awards have attracted hundreds of entries from the length and breadth of the nation, and from

CHICHESTER Chess Club, which plays at THe Fishbourne Centre in Blackboy Lane, has enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in its lengthy history. THe club moved to the venue in 2012 and has enjoyed the association ever since. Playing on the extreme eastern edge of the Portsmouth and District Chess League, and with support from kindred club Bognor and Arun, the club has won all three divisions in this league. Long-standing chess players believe this is the first time in the 70-year history of the league this has happened. Across the entire season, the club lost only five of 26 matches played across the three divisions. Club chairman Steve Smith said: "It’s a wonderful achievement by everyone over the board and a tribute to the tireless work undertaken by the match captains, specific thanks to Bill McDougall, Mick Plumb and Mike Spence". Success for the club has not only been with the teams but also for several individuals. Steve Smith and Chichester veteran Alex Miller shared the honours for the Ruth Rose Cup for those aged over 60 and Ed Farrington won the Wilf Pratten Cup. Anyone interested in joining the chess club should contact Philip Wake on 01243 931253 or philipwake@hotmail.com

Re-development in Chidham From page one THe current site contains a horticulture nursery and includes a number of former glasshouses which are now used as storage buildings associated with restoration and storage of military vehicles. THe application site area is rectangular and predominately flat with some mature screening in the form of trees and hedgerows on the boundaries. THe plans are for three two-bedroom homes, five three-bedroom and two four-bedroom properties. Proposed are 32 parking spaces with two visitor spaces and two cycle spaces per dwelling and six dwellings with garages. THe site is located outside a defined settlement boundary with the Chichester Harbour area of outstanding natural beauty. Chichester Harbour Conservancy were consulted on the applications and raised no objection because the land had been previously developed. But they stated that a planning condition be imposed to ensure no

dwelling was more than two storeys in height. Cllr Simon Oakley said: "Although this is in the area of outstanding natural beauty, this does seem to be the only reasonable thing to do with this site." Cllr Mark Dunn was also in favour of the application and said: "I, too, shall support this application because of the overall need for housing. "However, I don’t like the argument that because the site, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, has been allowed to deteriorate in to what might be described as disgraceful provision, it therefore qualifies for housing as an improvement." Cllr Julie Tassell, in support of the planning application, said: "I have had the privilege of seeing the military vehicles which are absolutely fascinating and I hope they will be moved somewhere where they can still be seen. "THe site has been used for so many years and is an absolute mess and I think the development will improve the local area enormously."

AN APPLICATION to change the use of land to sell Christmas trees has been rejected. THe proposal was set out to change the use of land at Monks Hill, Westbourne, for the retail use of selling Christmas trees for the month each year between November 24 and Christmas Eve. THe application was refused at the committee meeting on September 13, with several councillors claiming it was inappropriate and dangerous. Councillor Roy Briscoe, Chair of the Planning Committee of Westbourne Parish Council said: "THe sale of Christmas trees on this site is unacceptable on traffic issues alone, based on traffic generation and road safety, especially at night. It is not an appropriate site." THe parish council also were concerned over the nearby children's playground, stating that there were concerns over drivers being distracted on a dangerous road and colliding

Charity shuts up its shop after 12 years of trading BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A LONG-STANDING charity outlet is closing its door after 12 years. St Wilfrid’s Hospice has paid tribute to the local community for supporting its Summersdale charity outlet in Lavant Road for over 12 successful years. THe charity has announced the building’s current lease is coming to an end and the store needs to close. St Wilfrid’s head of retail, Siobhan Robinson, said: “Sadly our current lease is coming to an end at Summersdale and we need to close our store and donation centre." “THis will come as a blow to our many loyal supporters in the area and we feel very sad about it too. “Unfortunately, it is not feasible financially to remain on the site and we realise it will actually bring economic benefits for the charity to centralise our furniture shop operations for the time being to our other two locations, Terminus Road, in Chichester, and to the Chalcroft Nurseries site, in Bognor. "We will continue to run all our other 12 successful shops and outlets in the surrounding area. “People have been amazingly supportive to the hospice’s vital work in the Summersdale area, raising thousands of pounds over the years to fund much-needed end of life care for

local people and support for their loved ones. "We hope our loyal donors and customers will continue to support us and look forward to welcoming them at our other shops and the donation centre at Terminus Road, which is open seven days a week. Our retail outlets continue to raise funds to support the work of the Hospice.” St Wilfrid’s Hospice chief executive Alison Moorey said: “St Wilfrid’s wants

to thank everyone – our amazing staff, dedicated volunteers, generous donors and loyal customers – who have raised funds for the hospice at the Summersdale store in recent years. "All good things come to an end, but we close the doors at Summersdale with a great feeling of pride, knowing it has contributed a fantastic amount to the life of the local community.” Alison also flagged a number of highlights from the shops 12 years of

operation, including one of the most memorable donations received, which was a small Buddha statue which raised nearly £3,000 at auction through Strides & Sons. Another memorable donation - for different reasons - was the donation of live hand grenades, which prompted a large-scale evacuation and a visit from the rapid response team. THe store will close at the end of September.

Despite a wet and windy weekend crowds still flock to the Revival DOWNPOURS of rain couldn't keep the crowds away at this year's Goodwood Revival event. It was a day of vintage fun for all ages over the three-day event. Starting on Friday with practice racing, the event got off to a wet and windy start. Heavy rain and wind was forecast but even as strong gusts and downpours took place, the crowds didn't falter. New for 2017 was the Revival Emporuim found in the Over the Road area, promising a treat for fashion lovers. THe show created a story of an older couple looking back over their life with models dancing and acting out scenes with fashion from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Collections ranged from private pieces from Cleo and Mark Butterfield to high street labels such as New Look, Zara and ASOS. Over the Road also held many other activities for all ages including a roller disco, cinema, funfair and many stalls and cafés. THe motor circuit, held as the main attraction featured 15 races throughout the three days, high speed demonstrations, and spectator grid walks. Visitors were able to get within touching distance of aircraft at the tenth anniversary of the Freddie March Spirit of Aviation. THe enclosure showcased 30 different pre-1966 aircraft transported from across the world.

Margaret Collins, 52, and her husband, Timothy, 56, travelled from Alton to attend for two days. He said: "We have never been before but it was our 30th wedding anniversary this year so we treated ourselves. "We didn't know what to expect but there is so much to do no matter your age or passion. "THe aviation display is unbelievable, it's just incredible. "We are glad we dressed up, and you are truly the odd one out if you don't. I expect we will look at coming again for definite, it's a great event." Petrol heads could also delight at the Earls Court motor show which housed several vintage classic cars from 194060s. THe manufacturers also drew in crowds with free photo opportunities where visitors could stand or sit in the classic cars and receive free print-outs. THe show also unveiled the brand new TVR. THe British sports car makers unveiling of the car at the Revival is a first for the world-renowned Goodwood historic racing event. THe new car was featured on display inside the building and showcased at the centre of a display which featured a number of older historic TVRs, in celebration of the British marque’s 70th anniversary. Another car enthusiasts haven was the March Motor Works presented by BMW. THe showroom was renamed this year as ‘Gordon Galleries’, echoing

the shopping arcades of 1950s central London. THe galleries included a period RollsRoyce showroom, BMW classics and a Mini display. THe paddocks, although some restricted to special ticket holders, allowed visitors to walk around some classic motor vehicles and chat to mechanics and onwers. Staying in tune with the vintage theme, the Revival would not be complete without its famous High Street section. THe area, which paid tribute to the conventional high street, featured wellknown brands. Included in the area were Michelin, a Shell garage and Betty's hair salon (pictured below) where visitors could enjoy a vintage style beauty or hair transformation. Lisa Matthews, 38 from Chichester, travelled with her best friend Katy Simms, 38, from Midhurst. She said: "We absolutely love coming down every year. It is expensive but it's so different to any other event you could go to. We booked Friday this year as we have done Saturday and Sunday before. It's not as good for racing, but we don't mind that. I love the variety of shops where you can pick up classics and one-off pieces or bargains. It's stuff you wont find on the high street. We can't wait for next year!"

` New gallery display IN AUTUMN 2017 Pallant House Gallery presents a rare opportunity. THe gallery is holding an exhibition to see Dame Paula Rego's preparatory drawings for her paintings, providing an insight into her remarkable draughtsmanship and the development of her ideas. Drawn from her own studio collection and organised in association with the artist and Marlborough Fine Art, the exhibit features drawings from the 1980s and 90s including studies for some of her most famous works. THere will also be previously unseen studies and drawings to provide a new understanding of the work of one of Britain and Portugal’s most loved figurative artists. THis collection of drawings is dominated by female archetypes, from the mother to the lover, to the devout impressions of religious servitude. Rego's depictions of female experience, coupled with her personal familiarity of Jungian psychology, are clearly played out across the pages of her work. Pallant House Gallery has one of the most significant public collections of works by Rego’s husband, Victor Willing. To accompany the exhibition, the gallery has organised a range of events which will help visitors gain a deeper understanding of Rego’s life and work. Paula Rego: THe Sketchbooks is on display in the historic townhouse of Pallant House Gallery from September 30, 2017–January 28, 2018. To book tickets, call 01243 774557.

Exhibition of innovative art BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk AN EXHIBITION intended for emerging student artists has hand-picked two University of Chichester graduates to showcase their innovative work. Alumni Pietra Morello and Morgan Ward will see their designs displayed at the Aspex gallery in Portsmouth. THe exhibition is part of the annual Platform graduate award which supports promising talent across the south of England. Artist Pietra Morello, a BA (Hons) in Fine Art graduate from Chichester, has produced a mixed-media installation which draws attention to the experience of space. She said: “THe frames are representational of doors or passageways in which we pass through on a daily basis. "THe rigid structure supports suspended and draped fabric, which resemble bodily or ghost-like figures. “THese forms are embedded within the space, they push and pull, obstructing space and moving motionless, creating an ethereal.” THe installation opened yesterday (THursday) and will run until Sunday, November 26. It includes the work of ten other students at the universities of Portsmouth, Southampton Solent, Creative Arts Farnham, Arts University Bournemouth, and the Winchester School of Art. As part of the exhibition, one of the 12 artists will be nominated by the Aspex gallery for a year-long professional development programme.

THe winner, announced later this year, will be given a £2,500 bursary alongside mentoring opportunities with artist Jonathan Parsons. Morgan Ward, also a BA (Hons) in Fine Art graduate from Chichester, said his practice aims are to investigate the relationships between colour, form, and space. He added: “A key aspect is the expansion of a space, both physically and as an abstract illusion.

“Translating forms and using colour suggestively signify space and allows me to build interconnected sequence as a network between my paintings. “How the viewer can be manipulated in a space to react a certain way towards specific works has become the research focus of the work.” THe Platform initiative is led by the Contemporary Visual Arts Network South East, which provides a forum for artists and audiences to collaborate on

projects. It is supported by five galleries across the country including Aspex in Portsmouth, De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, Modern Art Oxford, and Turner Contemporary in Margate.

New centre's for residents RESIDENTS of Felpham have their first new community centre for decades to call their own. Felpham Parish Council’s members are settling in to the building, which one member previously described as worth about £1.2m, on the Blakes Mead housing estate. THeir chairman, Cllr Dave Smart, said the centre represented a fresh start for the council. “THe opening of the centre is a new episode for us. It’s a fantastic new building," he said. “It’s an exciting time for the council and the community because it’s such a really, really nice building. “It’s a tremendous opportunity for the community of Felpham. It’s not for use of Blake’s Mead only. It’s for all of Felpham – and we want the people of Felpham to use it as their centre.” THe building, in Meaden Way, was provided by Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes as part of the company’s planning permission from Arun District Council for the 700-plus homes which surround it. Negotiations when the estate was being planned enabled the parish council to buy the centre for £1. Arun remains responsible for the football pitch, multi-use games area and play area which surround the building. THe district council also has control of the changing rooms inside the centre. “Our role is to manage what goes on inside the walls,” said Cllr Smart. THe

parish council moved into the new centre from late August. THe relocation from its previous base in St Mary’s Centre in Grassmere Close continued into this week. Furniture and equipment continued to arrive to equip the rooms. THe centre has a main hall, which he estimated could hold well over 100 people, and a large meeting room capable of being divided. Another meeting room completes the community spaces. Each is capable of accommodating 40 people. A kitchen and a foyer complete the facilities. Cllr Smart said: “It’s been a longer path to take charge of the centre than we would have hoped. “But, now we are in, we want to make the most of it. We are confident the centre will be a success. “We’ve already had a couple of people showing interest in making regular bookings there and we have a quite significant list of potential other users.” THe parish council’s final meeting in St Mary’s Centre took place last Tuesday. Fittingly, the last regular items on the agenda debated by the 12 councillors present for the 65 minute session concerned the new centre and the appointment of its manager. THe council was founded in 1985 and has met at the centre since it became the previous community building to open in July, 1995. Before that, it alternated its meetings between Felpham Memorial Village Hall and Felpham Methodist Church.

THe winter hours from October 1 will be 9am-4pm until March 31 instead of the 10am-5pm planned by West Sussex County Council.

Arun Business of the Year Awards Website of the Year sponsored by Business Networking Bognor Regis Most companies and organisations now have websites and use these as the first point of contact with their customers and, as they say, first impressions count. I’m sure we’ve all experienced websites that are out of date, or don’t inspire us to look further? On the other hand, I expect we’ve all found ones which really make us want to click on to see what the company has to offer. The winner of this award will be a company or organisation with a superb site that provides all the help and information we need at just the click of a mouse. The judges check all the website entries and will be awarding this prize to the site that they find useful, pleasing to look at and easy to navigate.

Last year this award was won by Gusto Wines. The company spent many of hours with their designers creating something that would showcase their range of merchandise in the perfect way, pass on their passion for their product and also allow their customers to order what they wanted quickly and easily. If you know a company whose website deserves an award, even if it is your company, then get nominating! To enter for the 2017 Website of the Year Award sponsored by Business Networking Bognor Regis simply go to http://www.arun.gov.uk/arunbusiness-of-the-year-awards and fill in the entry form. Good luck!

Charity or Community Interest Company of the Year sponsored by The Bognor Regis Post This is another new award for 2017 and will recognise the fabulous work that so many of our local charity and community interest companies do. Many local events and services are now run by charities and CICs that are at the very heart of our local community. Others are national organisations that work on a wider scale and they are all important. The winner or winners of this award will be very special indeed. They’ll have to prove their worth to our judges. They’ll have to tell us what they do – the easy part, but also what effect their organisation has on their community or the project they are set up to serve.

Rugby stars get on their bikes for Paul PEDAL power has helped a former Bognor Regis rugby player in his bid to return home after an horrific cycling accident. England rugby legends Will Carling, John Olver, Mick Skinner and Peter Winterbottom were among 105 cyclists who formed a peloton for Paul Curtis. THey completed the 70-mile journey from the town’s rugby club in Hampshire Avenue to Harlequins’ famous ground of THe Stoop in Twickenham. Last Saturday’s ride – to coincide with the London club’s first home league game of the season – raised more than £30,000, to take the total so far to £100,000. THe money will go towards adapting quadriplegic Paul’s home in Wales ready for his wheelchair. Carling said before the start: “I’m looking forward to the ride. He was one of the side’s backs who looked after players like me. “We played together as a team and now it’s our turn to look after him.” Among the 50 or spectators cheering the riders off was another one-time Quins and England star, Brian Moore. “THis is a tremendous effort,” he said, pictured below left. “THere are all manner of people from all walks of life taking part. It’s not just rugby people. “I don’t think you can under-estimate the physical effort that goes into a 70 mile cycle ride. What’s happened to Paul shows how one unfortunate accident can change your life. “He was an immensely strong player

– not much of a ball player, but rugby accommodates people of all physical strengths and there was a place for him in our team. “You knew you were never going to get less than 100 per cent from Paul, no matter how well or badly he played.” Paul’s stepfather, Sidney Burnham, was also present. “THe effort the cyclists are making is unbelievable. It’s absolutely incredible what people are doing for Paul. It shows what they think of them,” he said. Paul was badly injured after he hit a tree during a cycle ride last September in the valleys near his home in Penclawdd. He broke his neck, damaged his spinal cord, right lung and diaphragm. He is at a rehabilitation centre waiting to be able to return home. Mr Burnham said: “Paul is very good in himself. I am so pleased he is still here. His accident was so severe he could have been so much more badly affected than he was." Paul was kept in touch with the ride by one of the organisers, Andy Batty. He said: "Paul is genuinely moved by the scale of the response." Paul joined Bognor RFC aged 14. THe club’s president, Phil Mead, coached him. He said: “He was at Bishop Luffa School but he couldn’t get into the side in Chichester. So, he came along to us and, as he was a big player, he played his first game at 14.” Phil’s skills saw him progress through the Sussex youth system and he was

selected for England Colts at 17 – and played them for aged 18. He turned out for Bognor in about 80 games in four seasons before he went to Rosslyn Park for some seven years and on to Harlequins for about the same length of time. “He was the enforcer,” said Phil. “He made things happen. He was very pleasant off the pitch but very competitive on it. He was fair but hard.” THe cycle ride followed a fundraising night at the rugby club. About 100 people attended, to hear tales from the sport from Moore, Winterbottom and fellow former England player Mike Teague.

Car owners' charity drive ONE OF the rarest cars in Britain took part in Bognor Regis Motor Club's latest fundraiser. Geoff Twigg entered his 1976 Austin Allegro, pictured top right, and was joined by Jerry Hughes in the 7th Regis TAP. Other marques represented included a 1947 Allard L Type, owned by Lynda Powells, and a 1971 Corvette Stingray, owned by Tony Ashcroft and Mark Penfold. THey were among 82 entries in the motor club's popular classic car tour and picnic (TAP). It was classed as one of the Historic Car Register's prestigious scenic tours as one of the best one-day events run in the UK. THe event, which rain failed to spoil, raised an initial £3,295 for the Sussex Air Ambulance. Organisers expect the final total to be higher once accounts are completed in a few weeks' time. Ali Green, the motor club's press officer, said: "THese tours are totally non-competitive and entrants do not need to be members of any motor club or hold a competition licence to take part.

f Chris Need and Lisa Robinson in his 1925 Frazer Nash

"THe tour visited some of the beautiful parts of West Sussex and Hampshire." THe car owners were delighted to return to their familiar start venue of Great Ballard School in Eartham. "THe first car left at 10.01 followed by the other 81 cars at one minute intervals," said Ali. "It was a damp start but the rain stayed away until every car had left the start but the dry weather didn't last. "THis year's lovely picnic lunch venue was a private visit to Rookesbury Park, near Wickham, Hampshire. THe variety of cars looked amazing parked outside this fabulous Palladian Grade II-listed mansion. However, by this time, the rain was heavy and persistent." THe drivers kept their spirits up and headed for cream tea at the interesting Bursledon Brickworks. Next came the privilege of a private visit to the William Medcalf Vintage Bentley Workshops at Liss to look at an amazing selection of the fantastic marque being prepared for various events. THe tour ended at its original venue of THe Tithe Barn, near Petersfield, for a hog roast and musical entertainment in the event. Ali added that thanks were due to the donations of the sought after raffle prizes, sponsors, the venue hosts and the team of marshals who stayed cheerful in spite of the miserable weather.

` Tenants charged to charge their scooters CHARGES for plugging in mobility scooters are being paid by council tenants in Bognor Regis for the first time. Arun District Council has brought in a £3.50 weekly fee to enable just over 100 of its residents in council flats to store and power up their transport lifelines. Karen McGreal, the council's housing business improvement and policy manager, said the move had been widely welcomed - in spite of the cost. "We have had two people come to us raising concerns over the cost but the response has been overwhelmingly positive," she told councillors. "THey have said they were surprised they were not charged before. THey expected to pay for the electricity they used to charge their mobility scooters." THe scheme had also seen the council bring in a licence agreement which ensured the scooter owners committed to regular safety checks and insurance. Arun has 101 mobility scooter charging points. THe largest group is at Bersted Green Court with 18 points. Most schemes had between three and eight spaces, she said. Of the spaces, 49 were let and there was a waiting list of four tenants. THis would enable the council to review the siting of the charging points to try to ensure the locations matched demand. "Historically, the points have been provided in a bit of a hotch-potch. We have added what we can where we can," Ms McGreal said. THe scheme will produce an annual income of £20,000 for the council. "THe project is the first of many areas where we will consider how we charge for services our customers receive," she added at the council's housing and customer services working group last THursday.

MORE than 100 guests enjoyed meeting and eating at the latest lunch held by Chichester Area Talking News. THe listeners' lunch was a successful occasion this month. Nearly 120 guests and volunteers sat down to the meal at the Chichester Park Hotel. Talking News spokesman Bob Mooney said: "THis annual event brings together the blind and partially-sighted listeners and the volunteers who make audio recordings of truly local news, which are sent out every two weeks to a wide area of West Sussex. "Listeners and volunteers made the

She should work 16 hours a week but usually offers to do more. "I've worked in other charity shops and this is the best one," she said. "To see a customer going away and saying thank you is really satisfying. "It's nice to cheer those up who have had a bad day." THe shop offers free parking off Sudley Road for its volunteers.

We have to shut the shop when we have deliveries of new goods and items which have been sent to us from our other shops because we don't have enough staff to unload the van and be in the shop in the same time. "I have tried everything I can think of, like posters in the front windows, banners in the windows and leaflets in customers' purchases, but nothing has helped."

VOLUNTEER Joanna Hartley is calling for more helpers to join her at a Bognor Regis charity shop. Joanna is happily turning up for extra shifts at the Sue Ryder outfit to help the organisation's work providing hospices and palliative care in southern England. But the store's manager, Louise Cable, says additional help is required to ease the burden on her seven volunteers. "THere are a lot of charity shops here and I think we are competing with each other for volunteers. "Joanna is doing a lot of extra shifts but it is leaving her tired and we are still short

The Big Sick September 24, 25 and 27 Chichester Cinema at New Park info@chichestercinema.org 01243 786650 www.chichestercinema.org

"As always Chichester Cinema continues to screen some of the best independent films around."

"Hear a range of fascinating talks by a range of academics, politicians and well-known figures."

BBC journalist Kate Adie

"The Worthing Musical Theatre Company take on a riotous musical comedy based on the Ford strikes of 1968."

DON'T miss the chance to see one of the highest grossing independent films of 2017 on the big screen. The Big Sick follows the relationship of a young couple as they navigate all kinds of obstacles together making this at times a romantic comedy, an ethic satire and a hospital drama - but always sweetly and truthfully so. THe film is based on the real-life courtship between Pakistan-born aspiring comedian Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani), who connects with graduate student Emily (Zoe Kazan) after one of his stand-up sets. However, what they thought would be

just a one-night stand blossoms into the real thing, which complicates the life that is expected of Kumail by his traditional Muslim parents. When Emily is beset with a mystery illness, it forces Kumail to navigate the medical crisis with her parents, Beth and Terry (Holly Hunter and Ray Romano) who he's never met, while dealing with the emotional tug-of-war between his family and his heart. Currently holding an extremely high positive rating of 98 per cent on the film review site Rotten Tomatoes and rated as its #1 film of this summer, The Big Sick is not to be missed. Although undoubtedly a critical success, The Big Sick never received the wide release that it deserved, and the Chichester Cinema at New Park is one of few cinemas nearby to screen it. Tickets cost £8.50.

Wines sold by Majestic reign supreme for taste Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys

SEPTEMBER is now truly upon us and it seemed opportune to wend my way to Majestic in Chichester where the purchase of six bottles or more entitles you to the discounts proffered in store and all bottles featured hereafter will be quoted at the offer price, for the sake of clarity! Majestic has another string to its bow in the form of a tasting counter in-store and it was indeed there that I tasted my first white wine along with Majestic wine gurus Ben (pictured above with yours truly) and Ellie. THe 2016 Definition Gavi priced at £8.99 and the consensus that prevailed was that this was not a typical Gavi per se, but was, nonetheless, refreshingly clean on the palate with zesty lime to the fore, delicate and flowery with a hint of almond. Fresh acidity was evident with little of the ripe pear flavour associated with Gavi, but a most interesting and distinctive wine well worth trying. My second white wine selection was based on wine guru Ben's recommendation of the Wairau Valley 2016 Goldwater Sauvignon Blanc, one

of the older NZ estates commencing in 1978. THis wine has a pungent and expressive nose with grapefruit and lime flavours on the palate and is decidedly fruity with citrussy characteristics and will please certain Sauvignon Blanc aficionados! My final white wine selection was a Domaine Beurdin 2016 Reuilly priced at £10.99, one of the top Reuilly domaines close to the vineyards of better-known Sancerre. THis particular example proved to be dry, fresh and fruity with the aromatic nose of the Sauvignon Blanc

coupled with steel - like minerality - an ideal accompaniment to seafood, grilled fish and goats’ cheese! My first red selection was the 2013 Sassaiolo Rosso Piceno Monte Schiavo priced at £7.99. THis wine is dry, full bodied, complex with hints of tobacco and spice. THis Italian red has an abundance of dry tannin on the tip of the tongue, but mellows to give way to rich ripe redcurrants and, if you have not tried this wine before, is well worth a punt! THe next two reds, both on offer at £9.99, are also worthy of attention

PostDinner

and I commence with the 2016 Juliénas Les Mouilles Pardon et Fils from the Beaujolais region of France. THis wine is produced by renowned winemakers Jean - Marc and Eric Pardon and oozes silky textured fruit, namely cherries and strawberries with a hint of white pepper and has a good fruity finish - a wine well worth a try. THe other similarly - priced red was a South Australian 2015 McLaren Vale Kangarilla Road Shiraz - quelle sensation! Kangarilla Road is a tiny winery in the up - and - coming McLaren Vale region and this splendid wine has a stunningly velvety texture with archetypal warm spice characters of

serves: 6

INGREDIENTS • 2 bay leaves, crumbled • 4 thyme sprigs, leaves picked • finely grated zest ½ small lemon • 4 tbsp brandy • 135ml extra virgin olive oil • 12 quails • 50g butter, cut into 12 small pieces • 350ml dry vermouth • 9 figs, stems snipped off and halved lengthways • 2 tbsp honey • 1 ½ tbsp balsamic vinegar • 500ml chicken stock FOR THE WALNUT SAUCE • 3 large garlic cloves • 80g walnuts • 150ml walnut oil • 1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Quails with figs & walnut sauce

Method 1. To make a marinade, mix the herbs, lemon zest, brandy, seasoning and 6 tbsp olive oil in a large dish. Season the birds and spoon some marinade into the cavities. Roll them in the rest of the marinade, then cover and chill overnight. 2. For the walnut sauce, whizz the garlic and walnuts together with a little salt in a small food processor until finely chopped. Add the oil in a thin stream, as though you’re making a mayonnaise. Stir in 2 tbsp warm water. Season with pepper, add the parsley and set aside. 3. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. To cook the quail, wipe any herbs from the breast area. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan and, when really hot, quickly brown the birds all over, in batches, colouring but not cooking the meat. 4. Put a piece of butter inside each bird and put them into a roasting tin. Roast in the oven

for 15-20 mins, depending on whether you like the meat to be a little pink, adding a quarter of the vermouth after 10 mins. Put the figs in a small gratin dish in a single layer. Drizzle with the honey and balsamic, then season. Roast for 20 mins, alongside the quail, basting during cooking. THe figs should be dark and tender but holding their shape. Cover to keep warm and set aside. 5. Put the quail on a warm platter and cover. Put the roasting tin on the hob over a high heat. Add the rest of the vermouth, bring to the boil and bubble until there’s 150ml left. Add the stock and boil until you have a slightly syrupy sauce, enough for 2 tbsp per serving of quail. Put two birds on each plate and spoon over the reduced sauce. Serve with three fig halves each and the walnut sauce. Source: www. bbcgoodfood.com

Method 1. To make the biscuits, put the butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until creamy. Add the flour and cinnamon, and combine with a spatula to make a soft dough. Form into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for at least 1 hr. 2. In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, golden syrup and salt. Remove from the heat and whisk in the flour, then stir in the cherries and almonds. Set aside to cool and firm up a little. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a baking sheet with parchment. 3.

more. Transfer to the baking sheet, and spoon some of the Florentine mixture onto each biscuit until it’s all used up. Bake on the middle shelf for 12-15 mins until the biscuits are golden and the topping has melted. Leave to cool on the sheet for at least 15 mins. 4. While the biscuits cool, melt the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of gently simmering water, or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir every 30 secs or so to ensure it doesn’t burn. Dip each biscuit about a third of the way into the chocolate, then return to the sheet to set. You may need to spoon the chocolate over the final few. Will keep for up to four days in a sealed container. Source: www. bbcgoodfood.com

Health &

Well-being

by Denise Kelly

The benefits of chilli flakes to add spice to your life CHILLI flakes are so much more than just a pizza topping. Red chilli flakes have an abundance of cooking and health benefits. This multi-beneficial spice does everything from brightening flavour in dishes to preventing diseases. From pastas to salads, a dash of red chilli flakes can liven up a dish in seconds, adding a little bit of that spicy kick. In small doses, they don’t overwhelm your food, they add a hint of flavour. If you’re watching your salt intake, chilli flakes can be an excellent alternative. They’ll add the much needed flavour without packing in the sodium. They are also amazing at helping to clear your congestion during cold and flu season and/or allergy season. That’s because the spicy heat found in the flakes helps clear the mucus stuffing up your nose and lungs. This time of year, when we are just coming out of summer and entering into the slightly nippy evenings, it is the perfect time for colds to start manifesting. As soon as the children go back to school, college or university, the influx of germs get out of control. Then (with the older students at university) they add to the mix endless parties and alcohol, all weakening the immune system, which gives the perfect gateway to catching a cold and/or flu.

Make sure you pack them off with their little pot of chilli flakes and encourage them to cook from scratch using plenty of garlic, onions and ginger to ward off unwanted visitors. What about using the flakes to your advantage for dieting? Well, the kick of heat in the chilli flakes does wonders for your appetite. Some research has suggested that red chilli flakes and other peppers help stimulate

metabolism and prevent fat storage. Sprinkle some on your eggs or toast in the morning and reap the appetite control benefits all day long. Another suggestion that has been made is that these delicious little flakes may help prevent the spread of prostate cancer in men. For men diagnosed with that cancer, the capsaicin found in red pepper flakes and other types of chillis may help slow the growth of the cancer tumour while keeping healthy cells intact. However, the doses used in the studies were much higher than is recommended for individuals to eat, and more research is needed. So why are chilli flakes so good for your immune system? It's because chilli flakes and other members of the pepper family contain a good dose of vitamin A, a nutrient that helps keep your immune system healthy and strong. Another question I have been asked in the past is - do peppers create stomach ulcers? The answer in no. In fact, it is quite the opposite. The reason is that ingredient capsaicin again. This helps kill bacteria in the stomach and helps protect the stomach lining itself. Also if you’re a diabetic, or just want to prevent diabetes, red chilli flakes are your friend. That’s because the flakes, and other chilli peppers, can help reduce high levels of insulin in the blood stream. I would highly recommend getting some in the

Health & Beauty 27

cupboard if you haven’t already got some, but make sure the lid is on tight. I made a vegetable stew the other night, and wanted to give it a bit of seasoning. I popped the lid, got distracted by one of the children as I poured what I thought was a few dashes of chilli peppers into the stew. Unbeknown to me, the seal from the pot had come loose and as we sat down and took the first mouthful, it was fair to say our noses were clear, eyes were watering and mouths seriously on fire. But in moderation, it would have been a very nice flavour! Enjoy! Denise Kelly is a passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist'.

Got One of These?

Lose Up to 40% of Your ‘Problem’ Area in Just 12 Weeks! It’s a well-known fact that diet and exercise are simply not adequate for ‘spot reducing’ our stubborn problem areas. Thankfully, Harvard University researchers came to the rescue when they noticed that children who ate lots of ice lollies had more dimples than other children! Turns out, the cold temperatures were ‘spot reducing’ fatty tissues in the cheeks. Now, more than 60 clinical trials later, it is proven that freezing kills fat cells! And, because fat cells freeze at a higher temperature than other bodily tissues, no damage is done to the surrounding areas. Studies show that 85% of people treated with fat freezing lose between 20 - 40% of the fat cells in the treated area over a 90-day period. Add that to the fact that it’s safe, completely non-invasive and works with your body’s natural processes, and you have a winning alternative to liposuction! A year ago, CryoSculpt UK opened in Chichester and has recently relocated to The Beauty Rooms in Westgate, where you can call and book a free, no-obligation consultation to see if cryo is right for you. They tell me that most people will require at least 2 - 3 treatments in any given ‘problem’ area so now is a great time to get started as they are offering 50% off treatments for the entire month!! That’s just enough time to get ready for those Christmas parties!

I have lost an inch-and-a-half on my tummy after only 2 treatments! I can't believe it, as my pooch has been the bane of my life since I had my children.

Letters 29

Community News & Views Sir FOLLOWING the report you carried last week about unique student accommodation, I would like to say that the students do have cars in Campbell Road and are parking on the unsupervised site. Security was in the planning application and this seems to be totally invisible. What stops the student buying a permit for their car and using the parking zones? If residents have a problem, they have to ring the number of the letting agency to deal with the situation. So, it costs the public money to deal with any problem instead of having a warden on site as per the application, which totally goes against the planning. It appears a good idea on paper from an office at Chichester but it definitely needs on-site monitoring, which it does not seem to have. Villa Maria did not have any vehicles. THere is very little space in Campbell Road now. What do we do when possibly 26 flats are filled with permit holding cars parked in the road? When will the warden/supervisor be employed? I do not see that having a student in charge of the place equates to a full-time security person. I think people in Bognor Regis need to be aware of future applications from this company. Mike Turner, Flat 5, Sovereign Court, Bognor Regis Sir I READ the article about Chichester District Council (Issue 71) clamping down on litter, including smokers who drop their cigarette ends on the street. THey could start by visiting Tower Street in Chichester and observe the West Sussex County Council staff who stand outside THe Grange on the street and drop their cigarette butts down or around the drain. Surely, the WSCC can provide a smoking area for staff and will CDC do anything about this? Roger Davis, Brookfield, Lavant

Sir SINCE the end of last month a new gate, pictured above, has been locked across a passageway between THe Causeway, Pagham, and THe Fairway on the Aldwick Bay Estate, requiring a code to access. Many residents of Pagham have been very upset that a route some of them have used for many decades has been blocked. Some residents have used the route since the 1950s when there was a through roadway. THis road was built upon in the 1980s, when the present passageway was put in place. Many local residents of Pagham have used the route through the estate for quiet walks and bike rides to escape the increasingly heavy and dangerous traffic on other roads. I have used this route to escape busy roads for the last 34 years. THe route has also been used by my cycling club for cycle rides on a quiet route when going to or from Pagham. My impression is that this is creating unnecessary friction and bad feeling from the residents of Pagham towards the residents of the Aldwick Bay Estate. I understand that one reason for the gate blocking access is occasional use by youths on mopeds and some walkers not clearing up after dogs. However, it is unlikely to solve the problem because there are public footpaths into the estate from the beach and from Greenways Road, off Cardinals Drive, which cannot be blocked. THere is also the main entrance from Barrack Lane which it would not be feasible to lock because of access by visitors. Although Aldwick Bay is a private estate, the footpath through part of it means that the public can never be totally excluded. THe only effect is to cause annoyance and inconvenience to responsible neighbours in Pagham. Edwin Jones Secretary of Bognor Regis & Chichester CTC (Cycling UK)

BOGNORIAN Jimmy Stevens puts pen to paper about his views of the modern town. Jimmy has composed 24 short verses and a title page, with photographs he has taken, with his commentary about life. THey total 2,270 words and he is keen to see them published. Jimmy, 75, of High Street, below, said: “I’m not a miserable person but I like to put my point of view in a light-hearted way. “THere’s a lot of things I get inspiration from. It could be about people going the wrong way up a one-way street or still keep driving along the London Road precinct. “I get great satisfaction from the poems. I enjoy writing them and I’ve been doing that since I was about 15. Jimmy was lived in Bognor Regis since his early days and soon began to use his experiences creatively. “It’s my view about what goes on around me and what is going on around Bognor Regis. I could write about the broken umbrellas that you see littering the streets. “THe only thing I find hard is the first line. Once I’ve got that, I will go on from there. I’ve got a rhyming dictionary, which helps a lot. I will write an initial version and then polish that up. “It’s all about creating something out of something simple. I can usually write one of 12 lines in about two hours.” Retired Jimmy worked in the town’s Lec Refrigeration a few times and had a spell as a book-binder and a removals man. Here is one of his latest verses: Summer Days 2017 Once upon a time this busy seaside town Was set like a jewel, in the royal crown A magnet to draw people from all around To sunny Bognor Regis, so well renowned But alas…! Look now, at the end of June! Not one body, bird or car, at just on noon THe pier is still without its famous end Nothing to amuse and nowhere to spend THe shingle has overrun, well into the sand No Punch &Judy, donkeys, no sound of a band No pedalos, boat trips, no families with kids Not even sandcastles or painted pyramids!

A FREE lunchtime talk about hardened criminals is being held in Bognor Regis Library next week. THe first of the midday sessions in the library's new first floor meeting rooms will take place on Wednesday. THe two rooms have been created from the former reference section of the library which was closed before a lift was installed earlier this year. Former CID officer Bob Wragg will give the talk from 12.10pm12.50pm. He will share his experiences of serving in the police in east and south London and Scotland Yard. A spokeswoman for the library said: "Bob will reveal details of murders and crimes committed by the notorious Kray and Richardson gangs and their associates, along with several interesting murder investigations in which he was involved." THere is no need to book for the talk but anyone interested in going along has been asked to arrive at the library in London Road early to avoid being turned away. Both of the meeting rooms have a seating capacity of up to 25 people. THey are available for bookings. THe talk will be free but donations would be welcomed.

A history of Goodwood estate over the centuries By Pat Saunders Volunteer and Portia Tremlett Museum Assistant at The Novium Museum GOODWOOD HOUSE is a country estate in Westhampnett and is a source of great pride for local residents. THe estate not only boasts a beautiful Grade 1 listed building as the seat of the Duke of Richmond, but also houses a motor circuit, a racecourse and a golf course. THe estate was bought in 1697 by the 1st Duke of Richmond. THe house, which had originally been used as a hunting lodge, had previously belonged to the 9th Earl of Northumberland, whose main home was at Petworth. Goodwood has over the centuries been famous for its cedars although a number that didn’t survive were replanted with beech. In 1754 there were 30 different kinds of oak along with 400 different American trees and shrubs. THe 5th Duke of Richmond (1791–1860) was a notable collector, and in fact donated many objects to the museum when it was in

its previous embodiment as the Chichester Literary and Philosophical Society, some of which may still be in the collection today. Both the 2nd Duke (1701-1750) and the 3rd Duke (1735-1806) were great art collectors. THe 2nd Duke went on a grand tour visiting Florence, Venice and Rome; he returned with a great interest in classical architecture and in London built Richmond House. THe 2nd Duke kept a menagerie at Goodwood which included a lion and monkeys; he did get an elephant but it died at sea. He was also Canaletto’s first English patron. Matthew Brettingham was employed by the 2nd Duke of Richmond to enlarge the house to the south, including the addition of a pedimented front. Unfortunately, the Duke died in 1750 before this could be finished and it was left to William Chambers to complete the interior of the property. His son, the 3rd Duke of Richmond, also took to remodel the

The 3rd Duke also built the two wings onto Goodwood House to showcase the family’s extensive art collection

property, extending the north Wing in 1771. Later the 3rd Duke also built the two wings onto Goodwood House to showcase the family’s extensive art collection, which had previously been housed in the family’s main seat, Richmond House, in Whitehall, London which had unfortunately burnt down in 1791. THe 3rd Duke was also an avid collector of Sèvres porcelain which he acquired while he was an ambassador in Paris. He supported the American cause in their War of Independence (1776) and as a consequence he may have received a parchment copy of the American Declaration from the philosopher THomas Paine. THis is now housed at the West Sussex Record Office and was rediscovered by Harvard University researchers in April, 2017. THe wife of the 4th Duke (1764-1819) hosted what has been described as one of history’s greatest parties in Brussels on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo in June, 1815. In the 19th century, the 6th Duke (1818-1903) was a political figure; he was aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington (1842-52) and to Lord Hill (1852-54). In the House of Lords he became leader of the Conservative party, he was President of the Council in 1874 and in 188586 Secretary for Scotland. Overall, the estate has 12,000 acres of land of which 3,400 acres make up Home Farm. In the 2000s the then farm manager, Karl Barton, initiated the conversion to an organic and self-sufficient farm. Sheep, beef and dairy cattle, pigs and chickens are reared and fed from within the estate. To help sustain the organic approach, wildlife is supported by

the regeneration of hedgerows. Since 2008 Goodwood Home Farm has been managed by Tim Hassell. In the 1920s, the 9th Duke (1904-1989) worked in the motor industry at Bentley and in World War 2 he served with the RAF. Afterwards, in 1948, he used part of the estate’s wartime airfield, RAF Westhampnett, for the Goodwood Motor Circuit which closed in 1966, although the circuit remained in use as a testing and track day venue. On September, 18, 1998, the 9th Duke's grandson, now 11th Duke of Richmond (b.1955), re-enacted the opening of the track at the very first Goodwood Revival meeting. He used the same Bristol 400 that his grandfather had used half a century earlier on the same track. Each year the Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival are held at the circuit. THe 10th Duke, Charles Henry GordonLennox (1929-2017), had in earlier times worked as a chartered accountant. He took over running the estate in 1969 when he was 40. When his son, the Earl of March, reached 40 the Duke then handed on the running of the house and estate to him. He has brought in a number of successful innovations including the revival of motor racing. As well as Home Farm and the motor circuit, the estate has two golf courses, a 92-room hotel, a fleet of vintage aircraft, plus its own cricket pitch. THe Novium Museum would like to pass on their condolences to the family of the 10th Duke of Richmond who sadly passed away on September 1.

Chi ready for derby day clash with PostSport Havant after a ten-try Totts victory CHICHESTER RFC will be looking to make it three bonus point wins out of three as they entertain local rivals Havant at Oaklands Park. THe Blue and Blues have made a successful start to life in London & South East Division One South after suffering relegation heartbreak last term. A winning start at home to Sevenoaks was followed up by a 67-34 triumph over Southampton-based Tottonians last weekend, a win that leaves them second to Medway. Focus now turns to tomorrow's match (3pm) with their close neighbours, a game which even at this early stage of the season could be crucial in deciding who comes out top of the pile in the spring. Roger Gould, the club's spokesman, said: "Chichester must be under no illusions and will want to improve their defence before the big local derby. "THey will play their strong rivals, Havant, who have also won their two opening matches. A large crowd is expected so all Chi supporters are encouraged to get there early." Scott Ashley's side prepared for the crunch derby in style, scoring ten tries in the process against a solid Tottonians side.

It was Chi's first visit in nine seasons to the Hampshire club but they did not let that lack of familiarity affect them, earning another bonus win in a high scoring game. THe Blues were much the better team in the second half when they played exhibition rugby and overwhelmed Totts who were missing some key men. As well as the tries, Chi scored seven conversions and a penalty to four converted tries and two penalties. After a close first half when the score was 2217 to Chi, Ashley's team pushed on the second period. THe standout moment arrived when big prop Phil Veltom broke clear and thundered 40 metres. A pass to Richard Adams and on to Scott Renwick saw him score near the left corner. While Renwick took the plaudits for bagging a hat-trick, other scores came from Ed Hillyer (2), Chris Johnson (2), Charlie Wallace (2) and Ben Robson. Henry Anscombe kicked 17 points. * A late Tom James try sealed a 26-17 victory for Bognor RFC against Overton in their opening match of the Hampshire One season. Fly-half Dave Sweeney was man of the match.

DARTS: More than 50 players took part in the divisional single knockouts of the Bognor Friday Summer Darts season at the Newtown Social Club. In division one, Richard Ragless (Squash Club) made his fifth final in five years to face Nathan Warren (BRSA Wanderers) Warren won the bullseye to go first and started off with two scores of 97. Ragless did better, hitting two tons. It was Warren, though, who eventually took the leg. THe BRSA man started leg two strongly with a ton and a 180. With 62 left he took the double with the last dart, taking the 2017 Division 1 Singles title.

Pets help Tone Zone lead the way home

f Tone Zone's Karen, Viv and Lisa with their dogs

THREE Bognor Regis runners and their pooches well and truly led the way in a fun pet-friendly competition. THe race with a difference at Stanmer Park near Brighton was the first running of the K9 Challenge where runners with two and four legs competed over a distance of 5k. Among those taking part for Bognor Tone Zone runners were Jack Penfold and labrador Milo, who finished in second place. It was almost a victory but Milo had to stop for a toilet break at the start of lap two. Taking things more sedately were Karen, Viv and Lisa, who all looked very smart with their pooches in matching running vests. THey crossed the line hand-in-hand with every dog receiving goodie bags and new dog tags. It was a part of a very busy weekend of races for the Tone Zone Runners. On Sunday morning, a cohort of 26 made the short trip to Littlehampton to take part in the Chestnut Tree House 10k

Sean Power continued his stunning recent form to finish in a personal best time of 39 minutes and 7 seconds to finish first in his under-20 category and 19th out of the 1,262 finishers. Jess THomson and Amy O'Donnell both had equally great races finishing third in their categories. Jess ran a PB of 43:36 and Amy 56:05 in the u20s. Also running their fastest ever times for a 10k were Stan Mack in 47:15 and Zoe Hemes, who only started running in January, in 1hr 1min. THe New Forest Festival of Running near Lyndhurst saw eight club runners take part in either the half or full marathon. In the shorter discipline, Debbie Patching ran her best time of 2 hours flat and Debi Haddleton completed her first half marathon in 2:23. Paul Coe finished his 61st marathon with a time of 4:17 with Tony Holcombe, Charlotte Seaton and Jude Bazeley also completing the full 26 mile distance.

Division 2 saw 23 players take part with Dave Bourne (Aldwick Legion) facing off against Keith Robinson (Chi Snooker Club) in the final. Bourne started slowly and Robinson took charge, hitting a ton and then bagging the double to take the first leg. THe second leg saw Robinson start with a ton. But Bourne hit back, finishing the leg with 97, 98 and an out-shot of 96 to take it to the last leg. Both players were even all the way in the last leg, but Robinson hit a 140 and a ton to take the lead. Bourne replied with 96, but with three darts and a 76 out-shot on double top, Robinson took the 2017 Division 2 Singles title.

In division three, Graeme Dutton (Royal Oak) and Steve Middleton (Newtown 'C') made it to the final two. Middleton won the bullseye and started the final with a ton. But scores of 81, 95 & 140 from Dutton gave him the lead. He then hit his double, taking the first leg in 17 darts. Again Dutton had the better scores in leg two, and Middleton closed the gap with 81 & 85. But with only 57 left Dutton took the double and the leg, taking the match and the 2017 Division 3 Singles title.

BOWLS: Selsey's Little Spain Bowling Club marked the annual President's Day with a spot of night-time bowling. After a fun-filled day, which included a fabulous afternoon of bowling with club newcomers Chris and Jim Lankshear the Trophy winners, a barbecue followed. Afterwards club president Trevor Palmer arranged some floodlit bowling into the later hours - it was said that some players played better in the dark!

TEN-PIN BOWLING: THe Royal Mail Tigers continue to set the pace in the Chichester-based Industrial Pirates League. THe Tigers went two points clear after a 3-1 win over Banana Splits. THirdplace Odd Bowls go level on points with the Splits after a 4-0 win over Scared Splitless with Graham Taylor (193) and Doug Taylor (199) scoring well.

Chi City boss hopes week off will kick-start their campaign

f Sesley celebrate an extra-time winner

No stopping Bailey's Blues AT THE start of the season Selsey boss Steve Bailey seemed a calm but confident man. For those people who were listening, he said he believed his side based on the tip of the Manhood Peninsula were on the verge of something exciting. Six weeks in to the season and it's easy to see why. His youthful Blues team have started the season in fine form, chalking up a 100 per cent record in SCFL Division One so far. THrow in a couple of cup victories and it's easy to see why the feel-good factor is back at the High Street Ground. In fact, their only defeat so far came in a midweek Peter Bentley cup game against SCFL Premier side Chichester City, a match in which Selsey took the lead before conceding four in six minutes. It is a very tiny blip in a wholly positive campaign so far. With six wins out of six, the Blues are the early pace-setters in the league, sitting two points ahead of Little Common and Wick at the top of the table. Central to Selsey's form has

been a strong defence, which has conceded just twice in the league all season. THrow in the attacking intent of Jake Goulding (nine goals in nine matches), Morgan Forry (five in his past five) and Ryan Morey - and it's clear why the club are doing well. THe Blues were pushed all the way last time out, though, against Billingshurst in the Division One cup. Facing a side who were fourth bottom, perhaps Bailey's team thought they were in for an easy afternoon. But Hurst proved tough opponents taking the lead midway through the first period. It took until five minutes from time for Selsey to level, James Kilhams slotting home after good work down the lefthand side. THen, in extra time, Morey grabbed the winner to send the Blues into the next round. Next up is a trip to Seaford Town tomorrow in the league (3pm) where that 110 per cent record will be on the line. THen it's on to another cup, the RUR charity competition on Tuesday with a visit to Haywards Heath to face fellow Division One side St Francis Rangers (7.30pm).

CHICHESTER CITY boss Miles Rutherford is hoping his side will return from a midseason break having rediscovered some consistency away from Oaklands Park. THe Lillywhites have had a mixed start to the season, proving to be irresistible at their fortress home ground. But while they have won four out of four at Oaklands, scoring 19 in the process, it is away from the city that the SCFL Premier team have suffered. With tomorrow's trip to East Preston (3pm) their first for 11 days, the hope is that Rutherford's team can win on their travels for just the second time this term. Chi go into the match off the back of a 2-2 draw at Crawley Down Gatwick, with striker Scott Jones bagging a late goal to earn a point. THat was his fourth goal in just three halves of football, a sign that last season's top scorer has rediscovered his form after a slow start to the season. Hopes are high that Jones can now form a potentially lethal partnership with former Arundel man Dave Herbert up front and get their away form up and running.

Lions seek another goal-feast Ne

PAGHAM'S goal show hits the road as the Nyetimber Lane entertainers seek back-toback victories. THe Lions frontline has been in formidable form all season, netting 26 times in just eight matches - an average of more than three a game. In the SCFL Premier alone, they have scored 17 times, making them the league's top scorers despite playing one match fewer. Pagham showed that fine form in midweek, overcoming nine-man Littlehampton Town 6-1 away from home.

With a trip to Worthing United to come tomorrow (3pm), a betting man would gamble on there being plenty of goals when the Lions' fierce attack takes on the division's worst defence. THat will be followed up by a home tie against SCFL Division One team Seaford Town on Tuesday (7.30pm) in the second round of the RUR Cup. Even after beating a depleted Littlehampton side, hopes will be high that Pagham can make it two wins from two in the coming week. THe victory over the Golds was set up by a

solid first-half showing with Andrew Chick and Callum Overton (2) getting on the scoresheet. In the second period, Overton sealed his hat-trick with Chick getting a second and Scott Murfin netting late on to ensure the hosts were knocked for six. Elsewhere in SCFL Division Two, fourthplace Sidlesham return to league action tomorrow with a spring in their step after an encouraging performance in the FA Vase. Daren Pearce's side put up a strong showing in Surrey against Combined Counties Premier side Knaphill. After pushing the team ranked two divisions higher them all the way, a second half penalty decided the game in the home side's favour. THe Sids will hope to build on that positive showing tomorrow at second-bottom Rottingdean Village (3pm). Meanwhile, Bosham will be looking to kickstart their defence of the league title as they welcome Worthing Town to Walton Lane (3pm). THe Robins drew at Rustington 3-3 last time out when a late Declan Jenkins strike denied them the win after Graeme Dowden, Grant Ardmore and Callum Coker had put them in charge. Bosham, under new manager Gary Lines, have taken just seven points from their first five games and sit eight points behind early pacesetters Jarvis Brook, who the Robins pipped to the title last year.

Chi Ladies ready for Hammers re-match CHICHESTER CITY Ladies will lock horns with the Hammers for the second time in three weeks keen to extend their winning streak to three. After a difficult start to life in the FA Women's Premier League, Matt Wright's side have finally found their stride. A 4-1 victory over West Ham in the League Cup a fortnight ago secured their first victory at this level. THat was followed up with a 5-2 win on the road at Cardiff City Ladies last weekend, a result which gives them momentum heading into a rematch with the East End club on Sunday (2pm) at Oaklands Park. THe victory in south Wales was secured early on by Wright's side. After falling behind after

five minutes, Chi hit back immediately when Jess Lewry pounced on a lose ball in the area. THey went into the lead at the halfway mark of the first period when Charley WilsonBlakely swept a corner into the back of the net. Chi doubled their lead on the half-hour when Jenna Fowlie let fly with her trusty right boot. THey added a fourth moments later when Chloe Tucker hit a free kick from 40 yards. Wilson-Blakely made it five of the best before the half was out as she took full advantage of a back pass to easily dispossess the home side's keeper and slot into the empty net. In the second period, Cardiff did get one back but it was not enough to spoil Chi's party.

Pearce asks fans for six weeks as Rocks' struggles continue Next Game

Weston-Super-Mare (H) TOMORROW 3PM

BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce has asked fans for patience as he looks to steer the Rocks out of trouble. Two defeats in the space of four days means that the Nye Camp faithful have gone more than a month since they last witnessed a victory. THat slump in form - a winless streak that now stretches to seven matches - has seen Bognor drop from fifth place in National League South to 18th, two points and two places above the relegation zone. With Weston-Super-Mare, a side just one place above Bognor in the division, visiting Nyewood Lane tomorrow in the second qualifying round of the FA Cup, there is a belief that Bognor could end the streak in front of a home crowd. But, regardless of the result, there will still be a small section of Rocks supporters who will question if Pearce, 68, made the right decision this summer in returning to the dugout after ten years as general manager. Speaking to fans at a supporters club forum last week, the club stalwart was open and honest with the 30 or so fans who filled Seasons about the current situation. He made clear that he would re-assess the situation in six weeks time He said: "No one hurts more than me if things don't work." Pearce's comments came just a day after the

Rocks suffered a fourth defeat in five matches, a 3-0 reverse at Wealdstone. THat was followed up by a 3-1 defeat at Hemel Hempstead on Tuesday, a match in which Bognor had chances but could not find that killer instinct. It is an area where Pearce knows he must strengthen to get better results. Before Tuesday night's trip to Hemel, the Rocks had just scored once in five matches - a Jimmy Muitt strike in the 2-1 loss to Hungerford Town. Muitt doubled that tally in midweek in Hertfordshire. But it was not enough for Bognor to stop the rot. Speaking to the Post, Pearce said: "At this moment I time do not have strong enough squad to stay very competitive when we have injuries. "It may not be what fans want to hear but we unfortunately are not in a hotbed of players. "You just have to look around and see how the clubs around us are performing Worthing, Whitehawk and Gosport are all struggling in their leagues so there clearly is not the talent around locally to bring in goodenough players who can fit into our budget. "You have to remember, too, that Havant two years ago had double our wage bill and they got relegated from this level. My eyes are not closed to that so we will work as hard as can to make sure we attract the right type of player."

Weston marked start of slump WHAT a difference a month makes. Four weeks ago things looked very differently for everyone associated with Bognor Regis Town Football Club. THe Rocks had just beaten Sussex rivals Whitehawk 6-2 at home, a convincing victory which sent fans home with a spring in their step and pushed Bognor into the top five on their return to National League South. With a home match against West-SuperMare in the league to follow on the Saturday, some were even whispering that life at this higher level was going to be comfortable. How wrong they could be. Fast-forward a month and the Rocks have yet to rediscover that winning feeling. Bognor's limited squad began to struggle with injuries as five first team players missed out on a series of games THe league match with Weston marked the start of the slump when the Rocks failed to break down a stubborn Somerset side who sealed a 1-1 draw despite being reduced to ten men. Since then, there have been six matches returning just two goals and one point - an unfamiliar feeling for a side so used to winning. THe hope is a return clash with Weston, this time in the cup, will spark a Rocks resurgance.

f August's clash with Weston is a distant memory

IT'S BEEN a really tough month with injuries bringing the team down to an all-time low. We have been blessed with some spectacular football over the past few years but suddenly the team are struggling after finding themselves looking for their first win since Whitehawk at home on August 15. But I am still supporting the team as I always will and I think everyone just needs to stick behind the club as it has brought us so much joy. We can’t win them all. Despite this form, I thought the Chelmsford City goalless draw showed just how determined we were to get something from that game. Calvin Davies, Doug Tuck and Chad Field, for me, were the stand-out players, with Jimmy Muitt almost stealing a win with our only real chance of the game. THere was relief at the final whistle as we were up against a strong Clarets team. I counted over 15 corners which we had to defend in that game - phew! Mistakes were what cost us the home game next against Hungerford Town. THey were a team out to cause us problems and did so, eventually winning 2-1 but it was all down to personal errors. I won’t name the players as it isn’t fair to do that but at this level the teams will punish you with clinical finishing and so it proved in the end. At Wealdstone it didn’t get much better. Ollie Pearce confirmed to me as I munched on my chips before kick off that he was back in the squad from injury. But it would prove to be another difficult outing for the team. We looked good for the first 30 minutes or so, creating half chances. But we didn’t take those vital opportunities and eventually we were punished. A freak free kick, a solo goal and a free header from a set-

piece was enough to give the Stones the win. Before the Hemel Hempstead Town away game, there was a meet Jack Pearce Q&A at Seasons on Sunday morning. Around 30 supporters turned up. I was there and a few other recognisable faces I see on the away trips but not as many as was first hoped. Jack spoke very honestly and answered everyone’s questions. He has basically said he will review things in about six to seven weeks to see where we are then. Despite this meeting, there are still some supporters who are frustrated by recent results and performances Many fans I have spoken to believe that a new manager with Jack in the background is the best way forward. But, on the other hand, players have come out publicly in defence of Jack who is a legend at the club. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it to the Hemel game due to being unwell (I was gutted). But at least our goal drought has ended, with Muitt netting the penalty. At half-time, it was all square but in the second half we were outdone by Rowan Liburd and Charlie Sherringham and apparently mistakes were the difference again. Are players worried to make a mistake at Bognor at the moment? What do other fans think? At present, morale is low but things can only improve. It will be interesting to see how we fare tomorrow at home to Weston-Super-Mare again. It’s always nice being back at the Lane. THis time we will be competing in FA Cup action. I will be cheering on the Rocks. And despite recent results, I hope you’ll be there too! UP THE ROCKS
