Housing plans put on hold

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk PLANS to build new homes in Kirdford have been put on hold after councillors raised concerns about the phased development.

Chichester District Council's planning committee discussed plans for 54 new homes on land on the east side of

Plaistow Road in Kirdford.

Residents expressed anxiety about the impact of the development which would comprise 38 market and 16 affordable units. They would be a mixture of flats, bungalows and two-storey houses.

Councillors voted seven votes to six for a deferment.

Resident Nicky Goddard said: "I was born in the village as were my parents and my maternal grandparents.

"We are a very small close-knit community.

"Kirdford has had lots of developments in recent years.

"It has placed substantial pressure on services.

"The proposed development will impact greatly on our community.

"Consideration should be given to the ways that we might reduce that impact and allow time for residents and

"There are also significant questions on the sustainability of the development.

"We don't have a school any longer.

There are few opportunities for employment within walking distance.

"Living in this area is not suitable for everyone."

Knit up a magical Christmas this year with Post Wonderland Put your needles together and get creative.

You do the knitting and we will do the wrapping.

As part of our Post Wonderland campaign to bring a bit of extra magic into care homes around Bognor Regis and Chichester we are hoping that keen knitters will donate handmade scarves, hats, gloves, bed socks, twiddle mitts and anything else they can think of.

These woollen wonders will be given to residents of various care homes to bring something special to the holiday season. Whether you’re an avid knitter or a complete beginner it doesn’t matter. Every creation will be welcomed and enjoyed by the lucky beneficiary.

Please deliver your donations to our offices at: 63 London Road, Bognor Regis, PO21 1DF or Unique Workwear, Printing & Embroidery at

Fifth conviction for drink driver

48 London Road, Bognor Regis PO21 1PX between 9am - 5pm, weekdays. The Post Wonderland appeal is also looking for talented youngsters to sing traditional carols around the homes as a selfless act that embodies the Christmas spirit.

And it doesn’t stop there. Suggestions are welcomed for anything else we could do as a communty around the care homes this winter. Perhaps you would like to supply some activities for residents to get involved with? Or maybe you know children who would like to go in to share their favourite stories?

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk A SERIAL drink-driver has received a suspended prison sentence after he was convicted of the offence for the fifth time.

Matthew O’Neill has also been disqualified from driving for five years following the offence which happened in Emsworth.

The 41-year-old bar steward was stopped in his Land Rover Freelander just yards from his home in Sadlers Walk.

It came after police received a tip-off that he may be driving under the influence.

After failing a roadside breath test shortly before 6pm on Wednesday, October 4, he was arrested by PC Tom Van Der Wee, of the Chichester Response Unit, and remanded in custody due to his history of offending.

At Crawley Magistrates’ Court the next day, he pleaded guilty to driving with 73mcg of alcohol per 100ml of breath in his system.

The legal limit is 35mcg.

He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months, and disqualified from driving for five years.

He was also ordered to carry out 200

hours of unpaid work, and pay £85 costs and a £115 victim surcharge.

PC Van Der Wee said: “It’s alarming that O’Neill has clearly not learnt from his previous mistakes.

"This is the third time in the past 10 years he has been convicted of drinkdriving, and the fifth time overall.

“His selfish behaviour not only put his own life at risk, but other road users too – particularly at such a busy time of day.

“The fact this is the fifth time he has been brought before the courts for this type of offence highlights his blatant disregard for the law.

"Sussex Police will not tolerate drink or drug driving, and officers will respond robustly to reports of this nature.

"We will also actively target repeat offenders and do all we can to take them off the road.

“O’Neill admitted he had been drinking but insisted he would be under the legal limit, when, in fact, he was more than twice the legal limit. He was swiftly dealt with by magistrates, and I’d like to thank the member of the public who reported him for bringing this dangerous individual to our attention.”

People in Sussex can text officers on 65999 with details of people they suspect of drink or drug-driving.

Support students to build an outside space at city school A GROUP of students at The University of Chichester are asking for support from the community to build an outside learning space at a school.

Stephen Fytche, Alice Stanley, Bethany Rice, Ben Bloomfield and Josie Cooperthwaite are training to be teachers.

They have been asked to create an outside learning space for a pupil referral unit within Chichester and they hope to have some help to raise the money.

Stephen said: "We would love to create something which will give the children at the behavioural unit somewhere they can go to read quietly, grow their own vegetables for

their cooking lessons and provide a stimulating learning area.

"Unfortunately, we have no budget for this project and as a result have had to call out to the local community to be as generous as they can."

The students have already received some tyres from Ree-Car Garage which they can use to create flower beds from and offers of pallets to create reading teepees from Goodrowes.

They have also received an offer of a brand new shed supplied by a Portsmouth man and his family.

To support the students, who hope to raise £1,000, please visit justgiving. com and search Outdoor Learning Space.

Flu vaccines

Visitors rake in the vintage fun at Autumn country show

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk HUNDREDS of people of all ages were entertained at the Autumn Countryside Show over the weekend.

The event, held at the Weald and Downland Living Museum in Singleton, drew in the crowds with live demonstrations and trials.

Visitors were able to enjoy all the sights and sounds of the countryside, from steam engines and working horses to vintage tractors.

The Dog and Duck Show team used both trained and untrained sheep dogs to herd ducks, making an enjoyable and amusing display.

Displays included a steam-powered threshing demonstration, dog and falconry

displays, the besom broom-making competition on Saturday, and the spar and hurdle making competitions on Sunday.

Throughout the whole weekend, visitors could watch apples turn to cider with a demonstration of apple pressing, learn about owning and maintaining a thatched property and see teams of heavy horses and vintage tractors ploughing.

Marketing Manager Jen Rudd said: "We welcomed over 7,500 visitors to our event over the weekend.

"This popular show featured a wealth of traditional rural and craft demonstrations.

"More than 30 heavy horses could be seen ploughing the fields alongside vintage tractors.

"Displays around the museum site included a stunning array of floral displays in the Museum’s rescued historic houses plus scarecrows designed and installed by other Sussex visitor attractions."

PEOPLE aged 65 and over across West Sussex are being urged to get the free flu jab to protect themselves and others from flu this winter.

Flu is a highly infectious disease with symptoms that come on very suddenly.

The flu vaccine is also available to those in groups at particular risk of infection and complications, including family or friend carers, everyone living in a residential or nursing home and people with long-term health conditions.

The call has gone out as part of West Sussex Care Month, which is running throughout October, to raise awareness of care and support available to help people live independently in their own homes as they get older, and to prevent them going into hospital.

West Sussex County Council cabinet member for adults and health, Amanda Jupp said: “Don’t put off getting the flu vaccination.

Although you may not consider yourself at risk of catching flu, I would still encourage you to get the free vaccination if you’re eligible.

“Vaccination is the most effective protection we have against an unpredictable virus and the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from catching flu.”

If you are aged 65 and over and want to get your free flu jab, please contact your local GP surgery or participating pharmacy to get more information and book yourself an appointment.

You can find out if you are eligible and more information on seasonal flu at westsussexwellbeing.org.uk/ fight-flu.

Windmill gets a makeover THE first phase of restoration works to a Grade II listed building is complete.

The Halnaker Windmill, near Chichester, has been fenced off for safety reasons since May, 2013, after an internal beam fell during an act of vandalism.

The incident led to further issues being discovered, including a spur showing signs of failure and tiles falling from the building.

Phase one of the renovations to the windmill, which sits on the top of Halnaker Hill, was to completely replace the tile-hung façade. This was later extended to include extensive repair work to the cap and balcony areas.

These works have now been completed and the scaffolding has come down.

Jeremy Hunt, West Sussex County Council’s cabinet member for finance and resources, said: “The restoration of this iconic landmark has been fraught with complications - not least the weather and its location - which has meant restoration work is impossible in the winter months.

“I am thankful that we have been able to maintain public access to the site all year around, despite the extensive works being carried out.”

Stage two of the works will include re-fitting the sails - known locally as sweeps - and the door. It had been hoped it could be done ahead of the winter but wet weather has meant it will be delayed until the spring.

Need for parents to adopt children A WEST SUSSEX mum, who had ruled herself out of being able to adopt, has spoken of her ‘overwhelming’ emotions when she first saw her little girl.

Siobhan, 50, has shared her story ahead of National Adoption Week next week – as there is an acute need for more adopters across the region.

Last year, in West Sussex, around 40 children were found permanent homes with local families through adoption.

However, there are currently very few people ready to adopt a child compared to a large number of children expecting to need adoption in the next year.

Siobhan said: “Everybody gets very apprehensive about the adoption panel but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.

“These children just become your children and I think a large part is due to the excellent work that the social workers do with the matching process.

“I knew I wanted to be a mum, I knew I wanted to adopt and I knew adoption was the right thing for me.

“Of course, when you first see your child, the emotions are overwhelming and like nothing I can really describe.

I remember seeing my child and I just remember big blue eyes looking out the window at me and just hearing ‘it’s new mummy’.

“But, of course, after that, it is a process. You don’t know them, they don’t know you. Once the love comes, it is overwhelming really. I look at her and she’s mine and I don’t feel any differently about her than if I had given birth to her or not.

“She is without doubt the best thing that has ever happened to me. If I had to go back and do it all again knowing the trials and tribulations and the process, I would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat because I can’t imagine my life without her.”

In West Sussex, there will be around 60 children needing adopting this year, including babies and toddlers of various backgrounds and with a range of needs.

During National Adoption Week, residents can find out more at an information evening at Billingshurst Conference and Community Centre on Thursday, October 19, from 5pm to 9pm.

Stephen Hillier, West Sussex County Council cabinet member for children and young people, said: “There are still some constraints such as the need for a spare bedroom but they have changed considerably over the last few decades and the team would welcome enquiries from all, including people who are single or in single-sex relationships. Please don’t rule yourself out.

“A child’s life can be transformed by the love of an adoptive parent and we would encourage anyone who has considered adopting to pick up the phone and find out more.”

Adoptive parents, through a legal process, take on full parental responsibility for a child and make a lifelong commitment to enhance a child’s life.

To find out more about adopting including upcoming information sessions, visit westsussex.gov.uk/adoption or call 0330 222 7777.

f Chefs of the future

New cooking facility opens at school to boost culinary skills BUDDING Mary Berrys and Jamie Olivers have a brand-new food technology room to cook up a storm in.

The new facility at Oakwood School, Chichester, has been funded by the Friends of Oakwood.

It was launched as part of an exciting ‘Creative Carousel’ of learning for seven to 11-year-olds at the school.

It includes a whole raft of activities, such as ceramics, drama and textiles alongside food technology.

Clare Bradbury, headteacher, said: “While Oakwood has a reputation for academic excellence and sporting opportunity, we also know how

CHICHESTER PO19 6PQ

important it is to inspire children’s natural curiosity and life-learning skills in as wide a breadth of curriculum as possible.

Food technology lessons support the development of children’s mathematical skills and technical knowledge, as well as linking methodology and nutritional awareness to being active, playing well and working hard.

Plans for the new facility include more charity fundraisers alongside the annual Oakwood Bake-Off, involving parents in cookery demonstrations, and the possible launch of a community café in the future.

Sleepover for the homeless raises thousands of pounds

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk PEOPLE from across the community joined together in an act of unity and support for a charity for the homeless.

The Big Sleep Out took place last weekend in support of homeless people in the community. It's an annual fundraiser which raises money and awareness for homeless charity Stonepillow.

This year, 78 people slept outside in cardboard shelters in the grounds of Chichester Cathedral and raised around

£24,000 - way above the average total.

Laura Bulbeck, PR and events manager for Stonepillow, said: "A lot of people want to do something to help homeless people. They like to do something different.

"It's not every day that you sleep outside. It's a well known event in the Chichester area now.

"We need to raise awareness of homelessness and the fact that it's increasing at the moment. It's about the full Stonepillow journey from the streets to independent accommodation."

There are varied reasons for people finding themselves on the streets from

f Children settle down for the night

mental health problems, to a breakdown in relationships.

Laura added: "It's really important to educate people about it. It's not always the individual's fault. It could be any of us. We aren't that far away from homelessness ourselves.

"People learn so much about what the charity does to help homeless people.

"It was really successful. We have had lots of support from local businesses and organisations who came to support us.

"It's a real eye-opener for people.

They understand that they are just experiencing it for one night not every single day.

"It does open people's eyes. They realise how little sleep they get or how unsafe they felt.

"Afterwards, they get to go back to their warm homes.

"People felt very proud that they had raised the funds and got themselves out of their comfort zone for a night to raise awareness and funds for the homeless.

"They were a really passionate bunch of people. It was nice that people enjoyed themselves and want to come back next year."

Among those taking part were Chichester College principal Shelagh Legrave and MP Gillian Keegan.

Sussex Police are looking for three men, pictured above, after two valuable golf clubs were stolen from Chichester.

At 2.45pm on Thursday, September 14, the two men who are seen together, both in dark clothing, went into the shop at the Chichester Golf Club at Hoe Farm, in Selsey Road.

One of them was seen to be making a phone call.

Meanwhile, the third man, aged about 30, with short dark hair, wearing a white top, then entered separately and took two M2 drivers, valued together at £859.98.

Meanwhile, the pair in black stayed in the shop, though off-camera, standing in order to block the view the sales assistant would have had of the man in white.

If you think you can help, please contact the police online or via 101, quoting serial 571 of 01/10.

Controversial plans for new homes in village are deferred Continued from page one.

"We are a very close community.

We look after each other and want the best for each other. Building this large development all at once will result in 54 families coming into the village who will struggle to get by in a rural setting."

Kirdford Parish Council said it did not feel Chichester District Council had worked together with them to ensure that housing stock was delivered in line with local need and that it had been used as a tool to ensure a maximum number of properties were delivered as quickly as possible, irrespective of local need.

A district valuer carried out an independent viability assessment which concluded that a scheme of 54 units of two phases over five years would be viable.

But resident Lyndsey Nutting added: "I'm concerned this rate of growth will change the very nature of the village.

"In terms of social cohesion and integration, this is an unwanted stress on an area which does not have the infrastructure or amenities to support it.

"The village does need to develop and does have housing needs.

"We need affordable homes for single people and for families.

"We need homes for local young families who want to get on the housing ladder.

"But we consider the proposal altogether unsustainable."

Cllr Graeme Barrett said: "I appreciate we need more housing in Chichester but surely we need it closer to employment, good transport and good education?

None of this ticks those boxes.

"To me, I think this application should be deferred for some time."

Cllr Richard Plowman added: "The understanding of the community was that this would be phased in over a period of time.

"The ability for the people in the community to absorb the new community is something to take into consideration."

The council's head of planning services, Andrew Frost, said Kirdford was expected to accept its proportion of housing in a certain time frame.

It's not yet known for how long the application will be deferred but councillors said a new application must show a better phased development for the community.

Meals on Wheels service gets top praise at awards ceremony THE West Sussex Meals on Wheels service has been recognised for its outstanding service at a national awards ceremony.

West Sussex County Council won the Meals on Wheels Award category at a ceremony, held by The National Association of Care Catering.

There were eight awards in total, each recognising ‘excellence, innovation and exceptional service’ in the care catering sector.

West Sussex, in partnership with apetito, the council's meals on wheels provider, makes Meals on Wheels available to all residents – 365 days of the year.

They use an innovative 'chefmobile' model that sees meals cooked fresh en route to residents’ homes.

Meals on Wheels enables many older, disabled and housebound people to remain living independently in their own homes.

The service also provides support at times of particular need, for example,

for someone returning home from hospital.

In the past 12 months, the service has grown by 10 per cent, now providing 150,000 meals a year, plus 20,000 meals each year to day centres in the county.

Judges praised the outstanding service.

Amanda Jupp, cabinet member for adults and health, said: "This is great recognition for the service.

"It is not just a meal, it also helps older people to stay independent for longer, which is a priority for us.

“Receiving this award is the icing on the cake and it demonstrates the big impact the service has on those residents who rely on the meals in West Sussex."

Marit pounds the streets to pay thanks to city hospital

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk A MUM has run a half marathon to thank the hospital that cared for her premature son.

Marit Undheim, 29, ran the Chichester Half Marathon in honour of the Friends of Chichester Hospitals, raising £760.

It came after her son Michael was born six weeks premature. He spent his first weeks in the neonatal unit at St Richard's Hospital.

So Marit, from North Bersted, decided she wanted to do something to show her gratitude for the care provided to Michael, now 11 months.

She said: "Dave, my husband, and I can never say thank you enough to the staff at the neonatal unit for the amazing care and support Michael received during and after our hospital stay.

"But one of the things we noticed was that a lot of essential equipment was donated by the Friends and we wanted to give back."

So Marit began to train for the run - the longest she had ever taken on before.

She added: "Training went well, it's tough to fit in training when you've got a little one and working full-time.

"But I made sure I got a couple of runs in every week and one long run in every Sunday.

"Running to raise money for such a great charity is great motivation to get

the training in.

"Race day was amazing, the atmosphere was great, the weather was perfect, and the route was very scenic.

"It was tough, especially up the trundle and the last 5km of the race, but very enjoyable at the same time.

"When it got tough, I just had to remind myself why I was running and it pushed me through.

"The last 5km were tough, but it was great to run in to the finish line.

"Once I ran past the finish line my legs and body just wanted to stop, so I had to keep walking.

"It felt great having achieved something that I'd been training for for so long. It was my fist half marathon so it's nice to have that under my belt.

"I've had amazing support from family, friends and colleagues and hopefully the money that has been raised will help make a difference to other patients and their families, the way it did mine."

To make a donation, please visit mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/ maritundheim1 The Friends support St Richard's Hospital and mental health services in practical ways - providing support and funding medical and therapeutic equipment which is beyond the means of the hospital's NHS budget.

If you would like to get involved or to find out more information about the work that they do, please visit their website at friendsofchichesterhospitals.org.uk.

“Aspiration, Innovation and Motivation”

Innovative Learning through Art and Technology “We are delighted to see how innovative and creative our new Year 7 students are and how they are embracing active and creative learning at the Bourne.”

Chris Glover and the Art and Design team.

Through their work in In Design Technology, students have been exploring the disassembly of existing products, breaking down the key functions before creating their own, carefully designed outcome.

Year 7s have started the year in Art learning colour theory, with an introduction to a contemporary artist who explores patterns in nature. Students have used a variety of materials and tools to explore different paint effects informed by the artist. The project develops into printmaking, collage and stitch.

In Food Technology, our Year 7 students have been researching Healthy Eating, following the ‘Eat Well’ guide, and have applied it to some of the practical dishes they have made. Students have learnt lots of skills involved with food preparation as well as basic safety and hygiene.

“I like D.T. because this is new to me. I also like art because we do different topics.”

Maddi Prior “I enjoy art here as we get to make our own sketchbooks and we are learning all about colours.”

Flip Out does bit for autism A TRAMPOLINE park has teamed up with a leading autism charity to hold an autism-friendly hour.

Flip Out Chichester has been working with the National Autistic Society in a week-long event. The charity asked shops and services to provide a quiet hour to give autistic people a break from an overload of ‘too much information’.

The trampoline park held two consecutive autism hours. It took simple steps to ensure the arena was more autism friendly by dimming the lights, turning down the music and making sure staff were aware of issues those with autism may face when visiting the venue.

A recent survey revealed that 64 per cent of autistic people avoid going to the shops because of their autism.

More than one in 100 people are on the autism spectrum which means they see, hear and feel the world in a different, often more intense, way to other people.

Elly Gilbert, marketing manager at Flip Out Chichester, said: “We had great feedback from our Autism Hour event and people really appreciated us turning

f Flip Out Chichester

down the music, turning off the flashing lights and lowering the capacity of our arena.

“We’re looking at starting up regular special educational needs and disability sessions in the very near future."

Mark Lever, the chief executive at the National Autistic Society, said: “It is really encouraging to see businesses such as Flip Out Chichester getting involved in the National Autistic Society’s Autism Hour.

“Like anyone, people on the autism spectrum and their families want the opportunity to go to the shops, but many find the often busy, loud and unpredictable environment of public places overwhelming and avoid them altogether.

“Our ‘Too Much Information’ campaign has highlighted that the smallest changes can make the biggest difference for autistic people and we are confident this week-long event around the UK will help shops and services understand how we can work towards a more autism-friendly world.”

City student gets a bursary A STUDENT from Chichester has received funding towards a university course thanks to a scheme.

Tom Maynard has been awarded £1,000 per year towards studying the BSc (Hons) Film and Television Production course at York University.

The funding came from The Royal Television Society (RTS).

RTS is Britain's leading forum for television and related media and an educational charity whose purpose is to promote the art and science of television.

The bursary scheme aims to widen participation in media and related industries and support talented students from lower income backgrounds seeking to pursue a career in television.

During their studies, each recipient will be given £1,000 per year to assist with their expenses and living costs. In

addition, each beneficiary will receive free membership of the RTS and The Hospital Club while studying, and one year’s free membership of the RTS after they graduate.

In their final year of study, the RTS will also aim to set up mentoring opportunities with one of its industry members.

Theresa Wise, CEO of the Royal Television Society, said: “The RTS has supported 101 inspiring and talented individuals towards their educational goals via our bursary schemes.

"The schemes are important as they offer those from lower income backgrounds not only financial support, but access to mentoring and a network of contacts within the broadcasting industry."

PropertyNews SOMEONE from the excellent ‘Flashback - Chichester’ Facebook group posted an advert recently whereby you could buy a house in Parklands for just £525.

Unfortunately, it was from the Chichester Guide...in 1936!

Still, it offered a fascinating insight into Chichester’s past as Parklands was being built, with the advert promising “many types of attractive Houses and Bungalows on this charming 130-acre estate”.

Prices ranged between £525 and £2,000, with “easy terms” from £25 down and just 14 shillings 5 pence to pay each week.

It’s interesting to note that a £25 deposit on that £525 house would mean the buyer stumping up less than five per cent of the purchase price; so maybe overly-zealous lending hasn’t ballooned as much as we’ve been led to believe?

What is clear though is how prices have rocketed in Chichester.

The cheapest house in Parklands today (a two bedroom bungalow) is marketed for £289,950, suggesting that £525 starter home from 1936 has gone up in value around 55,000 per cent since it was first built some 80 years ago.

It’s also clear that houses are a lot less affordable now.

The average salary in 1936 was around £197, meaning the lowest priced house cost less than three times the average salary.

With today’s average salary sitting below £30,000, it would cost the average Brit nearly 10 times their salary to afford the starter home that’s for sale in Parklands now.

I do wonder what the adverts will say when the nearby Whitehouse Farm development begins construction. I’m afraid for today’s generation those “easy terms” won’t be so simple to come by.

This does all raise an opportunity for homeowners to release equity from their home, perhaps investing it in a buy-to-let property.

Catering for the rising demand in rental properties as rising house prices leads to more people renting is still likely to be a sensible investment in the long-term.

Fireworks to be inspected SHOPS that sell or store fireworks are being inspected across West Sussex to try to keep residents safe.

West Sussex Trading Standards are visiting outlets to ensure they are complying with safety regulations.

Fireworks and sparklers can only be sold from permanent, or semipermanent, licensed outlets.

They should only be sold to those aged over 18 and it is illegal to sell them from mobile shops, such as market stalls or car boot sales. They should also not be sold through social media. All retail fireworks should now bear a CE mark: older stock marked BS7114 can no longer be sold to the public.

Peter Aston, West Sussex Trading Standards team manager, said: “Through our inspections we aim to find those who are storing fireworks unsafely or illegally and those selling unsafe fireworks.

“Fireworks incorrectly stored pose a significant fire and explosion risk.”

Debbie Kennard, cabinet member for stronger, safer communities, said: “The team from Trading Standards does an excellent job visiting businesses and checking they are complying with the regulations - with the ultimate aim of helping to keep the public safe.”

If you see fireworks being sold from a mobile premises, to those under 18 or that don’t have a CE mark, contact Trading Standards online via westsussex.gov.uk/ tsreport or through Citizens Advice on 03454 040506.

High praise for school as it bids to improve travel plan

BY RUTH SCAMMELL ruth.scammell@sussexpost.co.uk STAFF and pupils at a city primary school have been commended for their efforts to improve sustainable travel.

The March Church of England School in Westhampnett has been recognised for developing a successful school travel plan by Modeshift STARS, which has presented them with its Bronze Award.

Modeshift STARS is the national schools awards scheme established to recognise schools that have demonstrated excellence in supporting cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable travel.

The scheme encourages schools across the country to join in a major effort to increase levels of sustainable and active travel in order to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people.

The March School has undertaken many initiatives and projects to develop an effective travel plan to encourage children and parents to think about their travel to school and try, where possible, to avoid using the car.

The results have been positive and children love to walk, scoot or cycle when they can. Headteacher Nicky Metcalfe, said: “It is lovely for the school to get such recognition for its endeavours.

"I would like to thank the support from everyone who has helped us, such as West Sussex County Council, Chichester

District Council and local businesses. We will now look forward to the silver level.”

Jeremy Hunt, the council's cabinet member for finance and resources, and local councillor for Chichester North, said: “I’m delighted to present this award to the school as I know how hard they have all worked on their travel plan, as

well as the Modeshift STARS programme.

"I can see the difference this work has made, and continues to make, to the whole of the school community.

"The benefits are significant, both to safety at drop-off and pick-up times, as well as to the health of the children, by becoming more active through cycling,

scootering and walking – it is all great to see."

The March school is progressing with its initiatives and has a bike it club, scooter scheme and bike it breakfasts, not to mention its work with neighbours Rolls Royce and the Greenpower electric car challenge.

Speed humps proposal to slow drivers in Felpham MOTORISTS could face speed humps in one of Felpham's busiest roads.

West Sussex County Council has proposed installing the traffic-calming measures in a network of roads.

Highways experts at the council want to put in 18 humps as part of a villagewide road safety scheme.

In a statement, county director of law and assurance Tony Kershaw said: "Residents in the affected area of Felpham have been raising concerns over the speed of traffic for many years.

"THe roads in the area become busy with traffic accessing Downview Primary School during school pick-up/drop-off times and there is a local concern that the speed of traffic affects safety for children walking to school, as well as for residents accessing their properties.

"Developer highway improvement contributions from the developers at Site 6 are available for highway improvements in Felpham and it has been agreed to use this money to review the speed limits in the area.

"THis review has identified that trafficcalming would be beneficial in the affected roads to reduce traffic speeds, with the long-term aim of installing a 20 mph speed camera in the area.

"THe proposal to install traffic-calming is therefore made to avoid the likelihood of danger arising on the affected lengths of roads..."

Public consultation for the road traffic mitigation scheme for Downview Road shows it will receive seven traffic

measures at various intervals north of its junction with Felpham Way. THe other two roads which will be affected are Outerwyke Road, which will receive six humps, and Wroxham Way, with five more humps.

Felpham Parish Council members discussed the matter at their October meeting.

Cllr Paul English said: "I did ask and point out that the other roads should be involved in that discussion because

they are going to become rat runs or the possibility of a rat run."

Clerk to the council, Richard Wickens, replied: "THey are all included but they are calling it the Downview Road traffic mitigation scheme."

Cllr English responded: "Are they doing mail shots? Have we asked them that?

"If they haven't done this for the outer area then they've missed off a huge chunk in view of the rat run situation that could occur.

"Just a reminder that those two areas are part and parcel of it. " Cllr Graham Matthews said he would look in to the matter.

THe speed cushions will comprise pairs of humps located 0.9m to 1m apart depending on carriageway width, built of black macadam 65mm high, with on/off ramps to a gradient of 1:10.

Public consultation about the intended scheme ends on October 19.

` Beach defence plans submitted DETAILED proposals to protect Pagham and its wildlife from flooding have been revealed.

THe Pagham Flood Defence Trust has asked Arun District Council to approve its ideas to enable work to be carried out without disturbing the birds who nest on the spot.

THe need to ensure the little terns are unharmed by the essential work is among the conditions imposed

by Arun when it approved the trust's scheme to cut through the Church Norton Spit to relieve the tidal pressure on the eroding beach.

ABP mer, the trust's engineers, said a stakeholder management group would be set up to keep a watching brief on the £750,000 programme.

THis would include Arun, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the RSPB, Chichester District Council and the Marine Management Organisation.

Elena San Martin, an ABP mer senior consultant, says in a statement: "THe group should, as proposed, meet biannually over the first two years.

"THese group meetings will be a key element of the watching brief process. RSPB is also willing to assist the local community by providing an 'on the ground' overseeing role during the works in support of the watching brief."

THis would ensure workers were aware of the site's sensitivities to avoid disturbing overwintering and little tern breeding birds.

THe conditions set out by Arun limit the scheme to set times when the birds will be absent.

Seafront could host global arts activities A COASTAL container village could make Bognor Regis a global artistic hub, councillors have been told.

THe structures would be the base for the Season of Festivals proposed by Rox Music and Arts.

THey would be sited at Waterloo Square Gardens and turned into cultural centrepieces for arts, music and crafts from countries such as Italy, Mexico and South Korea.

In between, they would act as a focal point for music, country and Hallowe'en festivals.

Rox member Rob Cameron told Bognor Regis town councillors on Monday: "We want to try and develop something that will knock your socks off. THe response we have had so far and the fact it's a unique innovative project makes it exciting.

"Bognor Regis needs an innovative arts and entertainment project designed to generate new tourism and business. THis concept is designed to lift the general demeanour of the seafront and the town overall."

Rox used the example of containers which had proved popular destinations in a range of places as a template.

As reported, the project seeks to build on the regeneration momentum around the town by making use of the open space in Waterloo Square.

Mr Cameron also said Rox wanted to see THe Esplanade to be closed between Clarence Road and Lennox Street for eight weeks next summer.

For the Place St Maur, a container collection could be used to house retail/ arts/food destinations.

THe grass mounds on the seafront either side of the Place St Maur should be flattened to allow for a bigger space for community events, he said, with the fishermen's site to the east of the pier used for a container as well.

Waterloo Square should also be landscaped by Arun District Council to cut down the hedging and removing fencing, he said.

Steve Goodheart, a co-founder of Rox, said talks about backing for the festival were being held with the Arts Council and the Coast2Capital local enterprise partnership.

THe idea was to open up an underused section of open space by working alongside the bowlers whose greens dominated the seafront site.

"When you discuss the opportunities Rox has to offer, not just to residents but to visitors, it's a lot bigger than just bowling.

"THe southern section, to my knowledge, has not been used for bowling for well over a year. THe northern sector is well used all the time. But we see the southern section as a waste of an area.

"We don't see ourselves removing the bowlers from Waterloo Square at all but working alongside them," he said.

He envisaged the festival also using a triangular-shaped grassed area on Waterloo Square's southern end and the

weather station site if the town council's plans to move the equipment were finalised.

THe festival would require one major temporary structure, 20 minor temporary pods, one major temporary floor and two acres of grounds.

Cllr Jim Brooks (I, Marine), chairman of the council's events, promotion and leisure committee, said: "It is very exciting looking into what is possible and seeing positive feedback.

"But the council would like to see a lot more of what is possible."

He agreed the triangle of land was under-used and a precedent existed for entertainments to be here there.

"We used to have a marquee for the summer season. We had big events there which were undercover," he said.

Cllr Sandra Daniells (I, Pevensey) said: "THis is going to meet a lot of opposition from the bowlers. I don't think it's going to go down well. You could be using their bowling green for containers."

Disrict councillor Paul Wells (LD, Hotham) said talks needed to be held with Arun because of its role as the landowner.

Rachel Searle, who organises Blakefest, said: "I love the idea of using that area of land more effectively for the community.

Landscaping could make it into a more user-friendly space.

"THere's a lot of movement to 'greenify' spaces and this is the perfect opportunity to do that."

You’ll have been in business for some time, probably have grown a successful business, employed staff and overcome a few hurdles along the way. You might even be involved in the wider business community – giving something back.

In 2016 the winner was Jack Keywood from Luv Carpets. He was nominated by colleagues and here

is what they said …

“He (Jack) thrives for business and success, for him Luv Carpets is not only work, it is his life – this is clearly shown in the product they deliver at the end of the day.

Every day he is looking for ways to improve the business and its service, this is what keeps Luv Carpets moving forward. The growth and continued success is what matters to Jack, but he will always work hard to ensure Luv Carpets does not lose its core values.

It’s easy to say a person is so community driven, but with Jack it’s true – he uses the leverage of Luv Carpets to do good for his people.

This passion started with a bike ride to Paris in 2015 with the Pink Pub Bike Club to raise money for The Sussex Snowdrop Trust. The target was to raise £25k for terminally ill children, so they could have care at home during such difficult times amongst other support provided to families. The ride was hugely successful with the total raised of over £120k surpassing everyone’s expectations and really taking the whole community by storm – it seemed everyone was talking about the Pink Pub to Paris.”

Regis Removals sponsor this award. Their MD David Wride is a past winner of this category and knows just how much you have to achieve to win.

David was delighted to present this Award to Jack Keywood and would be just as pleased to present it to you or someone you know.

Film festival's world interest FILM-MAKERS from the other side of the world hope to see their work triumph at a Bognor Regis event.

THe first ever South Coast Phoenix Film Festival opened for submissions this month and has already received multiple entries including one from as far away as Australia.

For PJ Saysell-Rosales, the founder of Phoenix Rising Media and the festival, pictured bottom right, this was very exciting.

He said: "It's amazing that people from other countries want to be a part of this."

THe 24-year-old Bognor Regis resident initially arranged the festival to encourage film-making in the town.

"My colleague Tom Flynn and I really

wanted to make this as much an event for Bognor Regis as it is for other filmmakers. THe town has so much to offer and we want to prove that," he said.

THe festival, which is set to take place at the Jeneses Arts Centre in Linden Road next July, will use the services of Bognor Regis-based companies including caterers, projectionists and printing firms.

PJ has arranged for festival attendees to get discounted rates at nearby hotels and B&Bs in order to involve the community as much as possible.

Categories for the festival, which is essentially a competition, include shorts, features and drone films. THere is also a mobile phone film category to give everyone the chance to get

creative.

PJ said: "We're looking to the future of film with these categories.

"Bognor Regis is an exciting place to be. THe new digital technology park at the university will be great.

"THe film industry is a people industry, and it's all about getting people working together. THe new park will help this."

Until the end of October there is an early bird offer for entering the festival.

` New cocktail bar DISCERNING drinkers could soon be enjoying a new Bognor Regis venue.

Shane Glasspool and Dean Sadler plan to open a cocktail bar in the town centre.

THey have applied to Arun District Council for a premises licence to supply alcohol from 2pm-11pm daily at their site at 65 High Street.

In a statement with their licensing application, they state: "We intend to operate as a boutique cocktail bar and, as such, will not attract the general pub community.

"We envisage that the older age group will be attracted to our venue, thus reducing the chance of incidents of crime and disorder occurring."

No more than 40 customers will be able to served at any time, they say, to also limit the prospect of public nuisances being caused.

"Signage will be displayed on the premises' exits, requesting customers leave quietly and respect neighbours," they state.

Bognor Regis town council members raised no objection to the licence at a meeting last week.

` New parish festival HOPES are high that Bersted's parish festival will return in 2018 after an absence of a year.

Bersted parish councillors are working to ensure the event can take place again next June at the Jubilee Playing Fields.

Cllr David Lainchbury, the council's finance and general purposes committee chairman, said at Tuesday's meeting: "I'm reasonably confident at the moment that the festival will go ahead. We will have more stalls than we have ever had before."

Museum display will be slice of the seaside f The latest town council drop-in session

First forum to be held in the town COMMUNITY forums are going on tour around Bognor Regis.

THe sessions have been held as part of Bognor Regis Town Council's community engagement and environment committee for the past few months. But its members have decided to make them standalone events away from the town hall to enable as many residents as possible to have their say.

THe first forum will take place from 1pm-2.30pm next THursday at the Laburnum Centre in Lyon Street.

Sheila Hodgson, the council's projects officer, said: "Some of the comments from the community were that not everyone felt comfortable in a formal environment.

"THe forums will be held bi-monthly and be in different locations and at different times. THe difference between the forums and the surgeries held by councillors is that the forums will be more discussion-orientated.

THere will still be the chance to ask questions but also the opportunity to debate if required."

Since the community engagement role of the committee was established, forums have been held during an extended question time part of the formal agenda.

THe town council also stages regular drop-in sessions - the last is pictured above in the London Road precinct - and individual members also hold surgeries for residents to raise issues.

REMINDERS of the Bognor Regis seafront of the past could be put on display at the town's museum next year.

Donated parts of a seat which thousands of holidaymakers would have used to enjoy THe Promenade are set to be put together by the museum's volunteers.

THey will be joined by a section of the railings which once separated the pedestrian area from the beach and which was found by Bognor Regis Local History Society chairman Greg Burt next to a litter bin.

He said: "Hopefully, we will put the

seat and the piece of railing on display in a seaside room. We have got a lot of things which could go in it but we have to do work on the area first."

THe seat parts were given to the museum, in West Street, by a resident who had kept them in his back garden.

THey are described as being the cast iron ends and replacement wood for a seat and the back panels of an original Bognor Regis seafront seat from the 1940s-50s.

THe piece of railing is believed by Greg to pre-date the current railing which still survives along part of the promenade.

THe sole wooden bathing hut of the dozens which once lined the seafront is also available for the society to put on show in the planned room.

THe society held its latest book sale at the museum last Saturday.

About 12 bargain-hunters, pictured below left, went along in the first 30 minutes to search for good reads and help to raise some ÂŁ200 for the society.

THe museum will be hosting a find the ghost hunt for children aged 12 and under from 10am-4pm from October 24-29 ahead of its popular Christmas displays in late November.

THERE’S a cracking line-up of films and events on at the city’s only independent cinema this week, films including the highly praised Daphne, Tom Cruise on fine form in American Made as is Domhnall Gleeson in Goodbye Christopher Robin and the thrilling chiller Wind River set in Wyoming. In Taylor Sheridan’s gripping, satisfying drama, an FBI agent and a game tracker hunt a killer on the loose in the wintry vastness of the western state. But is agent Banner (Elizabeth Olsen) out of her depth and can she rely on pro tracker Cory (Jeremy Renner on fire) or does he have a back story that might hinder her task?

Emily Beecham is magnificent as Daphne, a 31-year old Londoner on the threshold of a much-needed change.

Busy days, hectic nights, friends, lovers – they’re all welcome distractions but one event might see her re-evaluating her out-ofkilter life.

Tom Cruise is on familiar territory in American Made, playing Barry, a CIA pilot caught up in the drugs trade in South America in Reagan’s 1980’s, Domhnall Gleeson turning up again this week as a

On the night of his 16th birthday, Joe commits a petty crime in a bid to impress the girl of his dreams, Sarah.

Food & Drink 23

Small vines are big value for these Burgundy wines Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys

THIS WEEK I was lured by the current October offers at Majestic in Chichester principally enticed by the white burgundies on offer.

Burgundy as a region is the ancestral home of rich Chardonnays and delicate and subtle Pinot Noirs.

After consecutive tiny vintages, however, high demand is outstripping supply and prices are consequently high and thus these Majestic reductions are most timely.

My first Burgundian selection was that of a 2015 Bourgogne Domaine Jomain from a historical vineyard now run by siblings bordering the more prestigious Puligny-Montrachet commune.

THis wine at an offer price of £13.99 is classic-style Burgundy with buttery and white cream notes complemented with lemon and apple characters - a good Montrachet imitation at a fraction of the price and this 2015 vintage is the best ever and is clean and fresh on the palate!

My second Burgundian selection was that of a 2015 Louis Latour Pouilly - Vinzelles En Paradis and founded as far back as 1797 Maison Louis Latour is

synonymous with quality.

Already known to the Romans, Vinzelles derives its name from the Latin vincella which means small vine.

THe distinctive feature of the village of Vinzelles is the presence of two castles.

South-facing vineyards on predominantly limestone slopes and clay soil, the vineyards of PouillyVinzelles are exclusively planted with Chardonnay and resemble wines from neighbouring Pouilly-Fuissé.

Pale yellow in colour, a floral nose

and aromas of white flowers and fresh hazelnuts with white peach and brioche flavours, this fine wine is fresh, clean and elegant, perfectly balanced with good acidity and fine minerality on the finish - a good buy at the offer price of £19.99!

As ever, all prices presume the purchase of six bottles and a mix of wines is permitted. Moving further south in La Belle France, I next ventured to try a 2016 Vallée Des Pins Rosé Côteaux d'Aix en Provence and at an offer price

conjunction with a good roast!

For an offer price of £13.99 this wine is a no-brainer!

My final selection was of a Viñalba Reserve Malbec Touriga Nacional of 2015 vintage which has chocolate tones on the nose, plums on the palate, subtle tannins and a hint of spice.

THis grape combination incorporating a traditional port grape leads to a rich black fruit taste to regale your taste buds and for a paltry £9.99 is worth a decent investment!

of £7.99, was rather enchanted by its dry freshness, wispy minerality and good acidity.

Great depth with strawberry and raspberry flavours to the fore - one to savour at this low price, à mon avis!

Red wines next caught my eye and I could not resist the Château Caronne Ste Gemme 2012 Haut - Médoc made up of 60 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon, 37 per cent Merlot and three per cent Petit Verdot, a veritable gem of a wine with an impressive red fruit nose and notes of black pepper, good structure added to silky tannins and a hint of cigar box - a wine ready to be consumed in

Sam's toad-in-the-hole

Method 1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the sausages in a 20 x 30cm roasting tin with the oil, then bake for 15 mins until browned.

2. Meanwhile, make up the batter mix. Tip the flour into a bowl with the salt, make a well in the middle and crack both eggs into it. Use an electric whisk to mix it together, then slowly add the milk, whisking all the time. Leave to stand until the sausages are nice and brown.

3. Carefully remove the sausages from the oven – watch because the fat will be sizzling hot – but if it isn’t, put the tin on the hob for a few mins until it is. Pour in the batter mix, transfer to the top shelf of the oven, then cook for 25-30 mins, until risen and golden. Serve with gravy and Sam’s favourite veg – broccoli.

Community News & Views AN EVENING of murder, torture, poisoning, hallucinations and ‘trips’ was all on the menu for the Donington Gardening Club last Friday. Fortunately, we all survived to see another day!

Alan Martin returned once again to give us a spine-chilling illustrated talk entitled Plants and their Wicked Ways. Alan painted a vivid picture of both the damage done and the benefits of plants and their seeds.

THe benign side of plants furnishes us with food, spices, clothing etc., but the poisons produced by the roots, leaves and sap are mainly as a defence against the environment and animal and insect attacks.

In the past, it was trial and error as to what was safe to eat or use. Over one million people are poisoned now each year and 15,000 die, the greater number coming from the under-five age group. THere are, unfortunately, some very juicy and tempting coloured berries in our flower borders and also on bushes and trees in the countryside.

Even the pips of apple, pear, plum, peach, apricot and almond contain cyanide, and if consumed in great amounts, can be fatal.

Plants can have some very good qualities and, indeed, even a small amount of poison, such as digitalis, is used extensively in heart medicine.

Velcro was invented by George de Mestrel after returning home from a walk in the countryside. He discovered the seed capsules (burrs) of burdock clinging to his clothes with their hooks which enables them to be scattered by passing people and animals.

THe Fly Agaric fungus (or Death Cap), is found commonly in local Pine and Birch woodlands in Sussex. It is easily identified by its brilliant red colour liberally spotted with white warts. It contains three different poisons which attack both the liver and kidneys, but slugs can eat it with impunity and come to no harm!

Our next meeting will be at 7.30 pm, on Friday, November 2, when Helen Beal, a volunteer warden at Kingley Vale, will talk on The Horseshoe Vetch and the Chalkhill Blue Butterfly.

SUCCESSES in tackling anti-social behaviour have been discussed by Bognor Regis and Littlehampton MP Nick Gibb with Katy Bourne, the police and crime commissioner for Sussex.

Mr Gibb, pictured above with Mrs Bourne, said: "My concern has been the prevalence of anti-social behaviour, particularly in the centre of the towns.

"I was delighted that the police appointed an Arun street community outreach worker to work with those individuals with the most complex and entrenched problems and difficulties, helping those people back into their own homes and off the streets.

"THis has resulted in anti-social behaviour in the Arun district reducing from 156 incidents to just eight."

MORE than 50 entries provided a bumper display of produce at Bognor Regis and District Horticultural Society's latest autumn show.

THe event contained 16 classes and the occasion was a special evening as the society's members said farewell to their retiring judge, Peter Collett.

As Peter, pictured above with the society's chairman, Pat Alderton, told them when he arrived very smartly attired, "I wanted to go out in a blazer of glory."

Society press officer Janet Hogben said: "We will miss his kindly but knowledgeable judging."

THe winner of the Maraidh Boys Cup for best in show was Tina Saunders with her display of apples.

local companies.

"Cyber crime has become an increasing concern and, sadly, there are a number of businesses in West Sussex that have been targeted or fallen victim to online scams."

THe sessions will also include guidance towards cyber essentials and advice about how businesses can prepare for the forthcoming data protection law.

Tony Neate, from Get Safe Online, said: "Smaller businesses often assume that, due to their size, they won't be targeted by cyber criminals.

Sadly, that's not true."

Sir Having seen the article by Steve Goodheart and the photo of Waterloo Square Bowls Green, pictured above, I wanted to write this 'open letter'.

Steve Goodheart has quoted 'an idea by Rox Music', (of which Steve Goodheart is a co-founder), 'is to create two unique schemes for 'the town' being Seasons of Festivals, and including Waterloo Square Gardens, THe Esplanade and THe Promenade.

THese events would be monthly, and the 'main area' would be Waterloo Square Gardens, with the prime site occupied by bowls players, a mini-golf course and the town's weather station.

As a councillor, and all of the media coverage thereon, he should also know that this is where the bandstand is proposed to be moved to.

I ask Steve Goodheart to send the Rox Music - Season of Festivals - details, to all of the bowls clubs that play on Waterloo Square, and that does not only mean 'the home bowls clubs', but all of the bowls clubs that come from within Arun, to play at Waterloo Square.

I believe that all of the said bowls clubs and their players will be 'up in arms' about these proposals, and I would be more than pleased to lead any idea, petition or protest against Steve Goodheart's proposal.

Also, yes, Waterloo Square bowls greens are owned by Arun, but are sub-contracted out to ISS, who have a contract to look after Waterloo Square Gardens for a number of years.

David Batcock - member of RAFA Bowls, Waterloo Square, Bognor Regis.

Romans and Saxons are part of a Bosham Gut history that stretches back for centuries par

By Lorna Still, volunteer at The Novium Museum BOSHAM is a picturesque village three miles west of Chichester, bounded on two sides by the sea, so it is not surprising that the sea has loomed large in its history.

There is evidence of Roman occupation. The ‘Bosham Head’ could be seen in Bosham’s vicarage garden in the 19th century.

It is made from Italian marble and is now thought to be part of a double-life-size statue of the Emperor Trajan, erected in the time of his successor, Hadrian.

It is likely it was erected at or near Bosham, possibly overlooking the harbour as an unmissable statement of Roman power and the head can now be seen at The Novium Museum.

An Irish monk named Ducal rowed into Bosham in about AD650. He settled here, making the village the oldest site of Christianity in Sussex.

He failed to convert the Saxons, but Bede

tells us that when St Wilfrid arrived in AD681 he was more successful and also taught the inhabitants more effective fishing methods.

Much of the Holy Trinity church building you see today is Saxon.

Bosham had to endure Viking raids and the people would shelter in the church. Legend has it that on one occasion, raiders invaded the church and stole the tenor bell.

As they sailed away with it, the other bells were rung and the stolen bell joined in, making a hole in the Viking ship and sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Some say it can still be heard where it lies at Bell Pool.

After the death of Ethelred the Unready in 1016, Canute, King of Denmark, conquered England.

Bosham was only a day’s ride from the capital, Winchester, and Canute appears to have links with Bosham.

Bosham had to endure Viking raids and the people would shelter in the church.

f View of Bosham, looking across water to Quay Meadow, circa 1920

f Mill Quay, Bosham, by artist Walter Jenner

f Mill Stream, Old Bosham, circa 1920

It is one of the places where Canute is said to have sat in a chair by the sea and ordered the waves to go back to show his followers that there was no limit to his powers.

The Saxon word for ‘dyke’ is ‘char’ (similar to ‘chair’), so maybe Canute built a dyke to reclaim land for farming.

There is also a story that Canute’s daughter, Gunhilda, drowned at Bosham.

A child’s skeleton was discovered in a coffin beneath the chancel arch in the church in 1865 and it was thought to be hers.

Indeed, a memorial ‘placed by the children of the parish August 1906’ firmly states that her body lies beneath it, but it has not been proven.

Powerful Earl Godwin obtained the secular Manor of Bosham, which was inherited by his son, Harold, who was briefly king of England until he died at the battle of Hastings in 1066.

The Bayeux Tapestry depicts Harold riding to pray at Bosham church and eating at his manor house before sailing from Bosham, only to be taken captive by the Normans.

A second coffin was discovered in the church in 1954, next to that of the child.

This time the skeleton was that of a man, and some thought it could be Godwin or Harold.

However, both coffins appear to be of a later date and in 2004, a Consistory Court held in

Bosham church decided not to allow either of the coffins to be re-opened.

In 1665, the Plague came to Chichester.

The people closed the city gates and posted notices outside the gates asking the local villages to bring food.

The fishermen of Bosham responded, and the people of Chichester left money for them in buckets of water to sterilise it.

Thereafter, the fishermen of Bosham were allowed to sell their goods in Chichester without paying any fees.

Fishing and boatbuilding were very important trades in Bosham, and in the 19th century the fishermen formed themselves into a co-operative.

The oyster trade lasted for hundreds of years, expanding in 1846 when the railway meant oysters could be sent to London in a day, but ending when oysters became scarce, possibly because limpets attacked them.

When boating for pleasure became popular, the boat builders started to build yachts and dinghies instead of fishing boats.

The Bosham and Itchenor Sailing Club was founded in 1907.

Today, people come for the yachting and to see the church and picturesque cottages which used to belong to the fishermen and boat builders.

Health &

Well-being

by Denise Kelly

Gut feeling is an important part of feel fit and healthy KEEPING our digestive systems happy is more important that you may realise.

There are so many things that can cause disharmony within our complex digestive systems, and to get back to peak digestive health may seem like a massive task, but for me it’s my speciality.

I started studying nutrition 15 years ago, because after giving birth to my daughter, I began suffering from digestive issues. I lost two stone in weight, looked like I was starving myself and was in pain every day for 14 months.

Once I discovered that food could heal me... that was it! I was on a mission to make sure no one else felt this bad, for this long. And that’s when my journey into the world of nutrition began.

So when someone now walks into my clinic and says they have digestive issues, I rub my hands together in glee! (That’s a slight exaggeration, but I know that whatever the issue in the gut, I can usually say with confidence I can help) The problem is, it's not just about the digestive issue itself, as gastrointestinal health can be the root cause for many other health issues including brain fog and mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety and panic attacks.

However, with a bit of planning and time, it’s entirely possible to restore the full health of your gastrointestinal system, which can have major positive effects on your entire body, from mood, to memory, and feeling focused.

Healing your gut allows the body to build a stronger immune system and produce the right kind of bacteria that tells your brain that it’s okay to feel good again.

An unhealthy gut will compromise your health on so many levels, as well as affecting your capability and absorption of vitamin and minerals. It will also affect your hormone regulation, digestion,

been known for some time, as individuals suffering from bowel disorders such as coeliac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, or leaky gut are more likely than others to also suffer from autoimmune diseases and mental issues such as depression and anxiety.

Symptoms related to poor gut health can be as obvious as abdominal pain, bloating after meals, reflux, or flatulence, but also less obvious like headaches, fatigue, joint pain, and immune system weakness.

So what’s the science behind this change in mood?

Generally speaking, the health of your gastrointestinal (GI) system is determined by the levels and types of bacteria in your digestive tract. Ideally, there is a balance of bacteria, however, an imbalance between beneficial and harmful bacteria results in gut dysbiosis.

Most often, dysbiosis is the result of too many bad 'bugs', including bacteria, yeast, and sometimes parasites, and not enough good ones. This imbalance causes damage to the mucosal layer of your GI tract; the normally smooth intact mucosal layer becomes permeable, allowing food proteins to enter into the bloodstream.

This consequently activates your immune system, causing inflammation, food sensitivities, and a myriad of symptoms both in the GI system and throughout the whole body.

Also very interestingly, approximately 90 per cent of the body’s serotonin is made in the digestive tract.

A lack of this 'peripheral' serotonin, which is cultivated by certain bacteria in the gut and affects mental health, has been linked to diseases like irritable

Health & Beauty 31

bowel syndrome, leaky gut, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. So what can you do about it?

Through testing, nutritional changes, super foods and some supplements, it’s possible to reverse and repair the damage that’s been done to your gut in a matter of weeks, even if your symptoms or condition has spanned over years of unhealthy diets or imbalances.

First, figure out what exactly is going on within your body to determine what food sensitivities or issues you may have that could be affecting your body’s ability to absorb nutrients or digest.

By getting yourself a personalised nutrition plan that can guide you to the better gut health, you will be fast tracked without any guesswork to a new healthier gut, and in turn, a healthier overall you!

With a bit of planning and time, it’s entirely possible to restore the full health of your gastrointestinal system

vitamin production, immune response,and ability to eliminate toxins, which can lead to mental health issues.

Digestion, mood, health, and even the way people think is being linked to their 'second brain', e.g. their gut, more and more every day. The enteric nervous system, or ENS, is what scientists are calling the 100 million or so nerve cells that line the entirety of people’s gastrointestinal tracts.

The main role of the ENS is to control digestion, but in doing so, it communicates back and forth with the brain as to the overall health of the body’s gut, and in turn, its immune system.

Bognor enjoy a well-earned week PostSport off after thumping Fordingbridge BOGNOR RFC head into a well-earned week off on a high after a convincing bonus point victory over one of their closest challengers.

THe Green and Purples have started the Hampshire One season well, winning three of their first five matches.

THe latest was a 43-7 victory over fourthplace Fordingbridge which consolidates third position ahead of a bye-week for the cup.

THings did not start all that well for the Hampshire Avenue side with the visitors crossing the line for a try straight from the kickoff. THankfully for Bognor, from that point on it was all one-way traffic - and it was captain Shane Stevens who set the ball rolling, crossing for a try after mistakes from two Fordingbridge players.

It was the skipper again who triggered the move that took Bognor into the lead, the lanky winger showing some excellent footwork before dotting down. THe conversion was good to make it 12-7.

THe Green and Purples' forwards then started to have an impact with James Barlow and THomas James showing some powerful rucking before prop Chris Webb went over for his first score of the season.

Full back Pat Gibbs then got in on the action scoring a quick brace - the second of which saw him step his opposite number from a standing start and beat him for pace before beating two further defenders before crossing the line.

Bognor's sixth came after some great work from their big men.

Webb ran the ball 40 metres before being stopped by two defenders. THen flanker Darren Bidwell carried hard from a driving maul and scored in the corner to the delight of the Bognor crowd. With fly half David Sweeney adding his fourth conversion, the score was extended to 38-7. But there was still time for the home side's subs to have an impact.

After being reduced to 14, with Tom James sent to the bin for a high tackle, Bognor defended magnificently and turned the ball over. Flanker Nathan Archer found himself in the clear and free to score his maiden try of the season to seal an impressive win for the green and purples.

Lock James Barlow summed up the match in a few words: “It was a good win for Bognor.�

With this weekend off, Bognor return to action on October 21 with a trip to Ellingham & Ringwood.

f The Green and Purples celebrate a try

f Bognor launch an attack in their 43-7 win over Fordingbridge at Hampshire Avenue

Blues boss believes more still to come

f Chi will want to hit their stride as Thurrock visit

CHICHESTER RFC bosses believe the best is yet to come for the Blues - despite winning five out of six to kick-start their campaign.

Scott Ashley's side sit third in Division One South, level on points with CS Rugby in second and four behind leaders Medway.

After suffering a shock home defeat to Cobham a fortnight ago, the Blues returned to form last weekend with a bonus point victory over Gravesend. Next up is a visit from THurrock tomorrow (3pm), who come to Oaklands Park having won just once all term.

Speaking after the 40-21 win over THurrock, Paul Colley, Chi's director of rugby, said: "THere were real glimpses today of what we are capable of and given the amount of changes this was a very decent team performance, but there are still some areas Scott will want to look at. We are not getting carried away and we will need to improve as the season progresses."

Chi made the trip to the Kentish bank of the THames with a depleted squad, meaning 11

of the 18 were in the second XV only a month previous. But the Blues made a fast start, Aaron Davies hitting a great line off Henry Anscombe to breach the Gs' defence for a 0-7 scoreline. Number 8 Chris Johnson made it two moments later, crashing over from an attacking scrum, 0-14.

Despite the home side getting a score of their own, Chi then took charge scoring three quick tries to put the game out of sight before the break.

First, open side Charlie Wallace touched down after a powerful driving maul, then winger Nat Jackson ran round the defence before Jack Hamilton-Fox, coming off, broke superbly through the middle, and from quick ball, full back Tom Hutchin entered the line superbly to give the Blues a 7-33 lead. THe Gs did get another score but the break came with Chi 14-33 to the good. THe second period saw the visiting Blues tighten up but they managed to add another seven-pointer through Toby Golds and denying the Gs a bonus point.

Lions urged to roar into life as up and down season rolls on

f Scott Jones (r) tries to add to his account

Chi go on as Brent leaves CHICHESTER City seem determined to push on to success despite long-standing chairman Brent Williams stepping down.

All at Oaklands Park were left shocked by the sudden announcement last week that the supremo was to leave three years after joining the club.

But the lack of a chairman has not halted progress on the pitch, with Chi sitting third in the SCFL Premier after notching up four points from six in their past two matches.

Next up is a trip to mid-table Newhaven tomorrow (3pm), a side that are unbeaten in three and can beat the best teams in the division on their day.

THe match between the top two scorers in the division is likely to feature goals. But, even with sharpshooter Scott Jones in their ranks, Chi had to settle for a point against Horsham YMCA last weekend.

THe game against one of the pre-season title contenders was THe Lillywhites' first home match in more than a month.

Perhaps it was that unfamiliarity that led to Chi being slow out of the blocks, falling behind in just the second minute.

It took them 20 minutes to

get going, with striker Dave Herbet netting after good work from tricky Italian Lorenzo Dolcetti.

Chances came and went for City to win the match and pick up all three points. But even Jones, who netted 12 times last month, could not find the winner.

Chi did find their stride on Tuesday evening against Loxwood, strikes from Jones, Dan Hegarty, Josh Clack and Herbert sealing a 4-2 win.

It was goals of a different kind that outgoing Williams brought to Oaklands Park.

THe former head honcho at Pagham took over at the club in 2014 and restructured the club from top to bottom.

He brought in Rutherford to manage the team in October, 2015, and since then Chi have been climbing up the table, as well as equalling their best ever performance in the FA Vase.

A statement on the club's website said: "Brent has been a servant to Chichester City for many years and his dedication and personality will be missed behind the scenes."

An announcement on his successor is expected in the coming weeks.

f Chi push for a winner against Horsham YMCA

Email@ sport@sussexpost.co.uk

PAGHAM'S young Lions continue to frustrate with back-to-back victories once again the goal laid down by joint managers Richie Hellen and Tom Simmonds.

THe Nyetimber Lane side have been inconsistent all term, winning five and losing five of their matches in the SCFL Premier so far leaving them ninth in the 22-team division.

THat rollercoaster form rolled on this past week, with an excellent last-minute victory over Broadbridge Heath followed by a midweek loss to Lancing at home.

With third bottom AFC Uckfield Town visiting Nyetimber Lane tomorrow (3pm), the management duo will be hoping their young charges can notch up a much-needed win to push them up the table.

THen, the Lions will continue their defence of the Peter Bentley Cup on Tuesday visiting Crawley Down Gatwick in the third round (7.30pm).

THey will be looking to the older more experienced members of the squad for leadership, particularly striker Scott Murfin, whose 90th minute strike at Broadbridge Heath earned Pagham a crucial away win.

f Pagham's management team

Sids shooting for seniors return Ne

SIDLESHAM boss Daren Pearce believes his side are ready to overcome promotion disappointment to make the step-up into senior football this term.

THe Green and Golds were denied entering the SCFL Division One because of an administration error at county level in preseason.

But, despite getting everything in place at the Recreation Ground for life at a higher level, Pearce says focus now is firmly on the pitch and ensuring his side do enough to ensure they are not still playing intermediate

football in 12 months time.

Central to that is bringing through a cohort of young players, a large number of whom will be in the squad ahead of the Sussex Intermediate Cup second round match at Cowfold tomorrow (1.30pm).

Speaking to the Post, Pearce said: "If we had gone up last term we would have been ready.

THat's the main aim this year.

"We were disappointed with the way it went when we did all the hard work on and off the pitch yet were told no when certain bits of paperwork didn't get filled out.

f Sidlesham boss Daren Pearce shares tactics

"But we have brought in an under-8s, an under-12s and under-18s as well as getting the reserves back into the county league.

"THat's the future of the club and that's why I'm already bringing them through into the first team.

"I've had at least half a dozen or eight who have done that this season so we're going the right way."

THe Sids' unbeaten league start to the SCFL Division Two season continued last weekend when goals from Dan Bassil and Matthew Roberts sealed a 2-0 win away at Ferring.

THose three points lifted them into third, just a victory behind league leaders Roffey.

Elsewhere, SCFL Division One side Selsey continue to slide after slumping to their fourth defeat in five. THe Blues were beaten 3-1 on the road at Mile Oak, an own goal the only solace in a poor performance.

Next up is a home match against Langney Wanderers tomorrow (3pm) with manager Steve Bailey wanting a win to push his fifthplaced side up the division.

In SCFL Division Two, Bosham boss Gary Lines will be hoping a switch to cup action will kickstart his side's season. Last season's champions head to Forest Row in the second round of the Intermediate Cup (1.30pm).

THe Robins do so sitting sixth in the league after suffering a 2-1 reverse at Jarvis Brook last weekend. An own goal failed to save Bosham as the home side scored a late winner.

Depleted City aim to topple Addicks CHICHESTER City Ladies may be battered and bruised - but Matt Wright's side will be out to show table-topping Charlton they are still up for a battle when they travel to south London this weekend.

Chi head to the league leaders off the back of two pulsating local derbies, first with Lewes, and then Portsmouth, in FA Women's Premier League South.

But the desire to keep on fighting has cost the Oaklands Park side dear, with a number of key players left on the treatment table.

Among them is Charley Wilson-Blakely, who scored a brace in the 2-2 draw with Lewes last weekend before being taken off with an ankle injury.

After playing Portsmouth at home last night,

Chi now head to face the Addicks who have won eight out of nine this term.

THey do so without fear, after coming back from second-placed Lewes with a welldeserved point which could have been more if they had taken their chances.

In a incident-packed first half, Wright's side took the lead when Wilson-Blakely responded quickest after Jenna Fowl's shot rebounded back off the bar.

Minutes later she added a second, stealing in after Jess Lewry's shot was saved. But a quickfire double from the hosts saw Lewes go in to the break level pegging.

Despite having chances to win, Chi could not find the winner and the draw left them in sixth ahead of last night's match with Pompey.

Rocks aim to repeat cup form to get them back in first round Next Game

OXFORD CITY (A) Tomorrow, 3pm

BOGNOR have FA Cup stars in their eyes almost...

THe Rocks head to Oxford City tomorrow in the fourth preliminary round of the world's oldest competition knowing that a victory will bring great rewards.

THe prize money of £12,500 would go a long way to supporting the club's overall development, as would the additional income of a potential plum tie against Portsmouth, Blackburn Rovers or Coventry City.

But, selfishly, the majority of players and staff know that a victory would give them a first taste of FA Cup first round action.

First though, they have to win against an Oxford City side who sit just below them in National League South.

A return to the cup will be a welcome relief for the Rocks who are fourth bottom and have not won in the league for nine games, stretching back to the middle of August.

THat poor run continued last weekend when a spirited Bognor side came out second best against a strong Dartford team.

After falling behind early on, a mazy run and strong finish from left back Kristian Campbell saw the Rocks level.

But in the second period, Dartford's hold on the match strengthened. Just after the re-start, Calvin Davies was deemed to have lifted his foot too high in the box.

THe home side scored the penalty, then netted again on the hour mark to secure a 3-1 win.

Missing from that match were Doug Tuck, Sami El-Abd and James Crane.

With Campbell also set to miss out on the trip to Oxford's Marsh Lane ground tomorrow (3pm), the Rocks' thin squad is set to be stretched.

If there is a silver lining then it is that Bognor have saved their best performances of the season for the FA Cup. In the second qualifying round, a late Crane header saw them past league rivals Westonsuper-Mare.

THen two Ollie Pearce strikes secure a 2-0 victory over Eastbourne Borough in the last round.

While many of the players have not been here before, they also have the experience of manager Jack Pearce to lean on.

He was at the helm for the Rocks' memorable cup runs in the 1980s.

Pearce was also in the dugout the last time the Rocks won through to the first round proper of the competition more than 20 years ago THe prize that day was a trip to Ashford Town.

But beat Oxford City tomorrow and potential opponents could be far more glamorous.

On-loan Kris out of cup clash THE ROCKS head to the city of dreaming spires tomorrow dreaming of FA Cup glory.

But Jack Pearce's side do so without one of their chief flyers, namely Kristian Campbell.

THe 21-year-old has been one of the standout performers in recent weeks after arriving on a month's loan from National League side Bromley.

THat was further underlined when Campbell got on the scoresheet during the 3-1 defeat at Dartford last weekend, finishing well after a mazy run. But any hopes of the 21-year-old taking that form into the cup look to have been ruled out by his parent club who do not want the promising defender to be cup-tied.

With skipper Sami El-Abd and James Crane also out, Pearce will have to use all of his management experience to solve a defensive dilemma. If he succeeds then it will be a massive boost to a Bognor team that are hovering just above the National South drop zone. THe £12,500 pay cheque for winning through will be welcomed, as will the prospect of a plum tie against league opposition.

But, before Rocks fans can start dreaming, the players must get things right on the pitch.

Tickets for tomorrow's match are £12 adults, £6 OAPs and students and £3 under-16s.

f Kristian Campbell on his way to a goal at Dartford

AH THE joys of the FA Cup - it really is the world's oldest and finest knockout competition, even when the team you follow is a long way from Wembley.

Travelling to Eastbourne Borough on the coach ahead of our match in the last round I just had a good feeling that something would go our way that day.

It turned out just right! Ollie Pearce stepped up again on 12 minutes to net the opener.

He added to his tally on 49 minutes as well which boosted the morale after some dropped points in the league the previous weekend.

I have to say we defended superbly and we worked as a unit and I would go as far as to say that in that second half we held our own against the attacking threat from the Sports. In the end we were worthy of our next round spot.

THe main question is why we can’t seem to get it done against the same teams in the league?

THe lads showed they could get a clean sheet and win at Priory Lane.

I was one of the 38 that turned out on the Rocks on Tour coach to Dartford this past weekend.

Everyone was in agreement on the trip up that a draw would be a fantastic result. THe set-up is impressive at Princes Park, even boasting a tree sculpture under one stand!

Alfie Pavey scored the opener after only seven minutes which meant we had to get back into the game. Kristian Campbell’s impressive run ended with a fine goal to draw us level (I really hope we can extend his loan deal from Bromley).

I felt we held our own until half time where we matched them and defended well, though an early second half penalty was tucked away confidently by Eliot Bradbrook which gave the Darts the lead and then Andy Pugh headed the third into the net on the back post later on to finish it.

It might have gone differently

if we hadn’t conceded that penalty when we did, but that’s football.

I have a habit of saying this this season about other teams, but it appears that most of the clubs we have played are top ten contenders.

Dartford will certainly be pushing for the play-offs at least this year. We’ll get our own back at the Lane later on this season!

THere has been a lot of discussion on the unofficial message board about Alex Parsons on dual registration with Worthing of late.

He’s already scored a couple of goals with that team while they share Bognor’s hallowed Nyewood Lane before their 3G pitch gets sorted.

THe Rebels have struggled, though, and still can’t buy a win.

Alex will be back in the green and white sooner rather than later and I hope he bags a couple of goals for us tomorrow in the FA Cup! THe reason he’s at Worthing is to get some much needed game time.

Oxford City are just below us in the league and will provide a measuring stick for where we will end up come the end of the season.

But it's the FA Cup and we want to make that first round proper again. £12,500 is also up for grabs, so I am sure the lads will be pumped up for this.

THe supporters' club have organised a coach and are taking more names for a second coach to cheer on the Green Army tomorrow.

I wouldn’t want to miss this one. Join us and maybe the lads will be spurred on to more cup glory.

If you witnessed the FA Trophy run not too long ago then you will know what I mean! Why not? We deserve it and it's been well overdue.

I hope to see you all at Oxford. THe Green Army will be out in force - no doubt!
