July, the crown of summer
INSIDE THIS MONTH...
What a summer it has been so far. Unforgettable even now and we hope there is more to come! July is full of sport this year, Jayne tells us about the history of tennis wear and very cumbersome a lot of it looks too. I don’t think I’d have had any desire to run about in that sort of get up. Dan Tester has also written about the Seagulls’ connections with the England side. Cross fingers we are still in the running as you read it!

Lime Blossom Loveliness By Lucinda Warner July is upon us and the lime blossom has just come into flower. If you are quick you can still follow the bees on their annual pilgrimage and pick some of the beautiful pale green blooms to make into a fresh tea or dry for use throughout the year. Our native lime tree is no relation to the citrus fruit and is also known as the linden tree. The name comes from an Anglo Saxon root, though ‘Linden’ was originally an adjective, meaning ‘made of Lime wood’. In German, the verb ‘lindern’ means to alleviate, ease or soothe which is a perfect description of the medicinal properties of this wonderful tree. Limes are an ancient species, there is a small leaved lime in Westonbirt Arboretum that is at least 2,000 years old. Limes and elms were once the commonest trees in Britain, flourishing around 6,000 years ago, during the warm Atlantic period. These would have been our native species, Tilia cordata, small leaved lime, and Tilia platyphyllos, broad-leaved lime. Both of these are now fairly rare and the lime trees commonly seen in parks and lining avenues are the common limes Tilia x europaea or Tilia x vulgaris. Though the young leaves are delicious in spring salads, it is the blossoms that we use medicinally. They only bloom for a brief interval in late June and early July so it’s good to keep an eye on your local trees at this time of year. Due to its gentle nature and sweet taste, linden blossom makes a lovely children’s remedy 4
01273 299219
taken as a tea, with a little honey if required. It can soothe irritability in both children and adults alike and makes a lovely footbath to aid a restful night’s sleep. It has a long tradition of use for stress and anxiety and feels a lot like a gentle hug in a cup. It is very soothing and mucilaginous and therefore helpful for those who tend towards dryness; dry skin, dry coughs, dry bowel movements etc. It’s also a valuable medicine for the immune system and it is regularly drunk as a hot tea in France for colds, flus and fevers. As a diaphoretic it helps the body produce sweat which can lower a high temperature and rid it of infection. Its anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties make it useful in respiratory conditions, especially where there is dryness, as it helps remove phlegm, soothe irritated passages and boosts the immune system. It’s been traditionally used as a heart tonic, and studies show it helps to reduce cholesterol and high blood pressure, especially if it is anxiety driven. Take time to go and stand beneath a lime tree this summer. You’ll feel soothed and uplifted by just being there amongst the buzzing bees and the beautiful scents of the blossom!

This originated in Indonesia but is now almost the Dutch national dish. It tastes very good and is one of my favourites to cook for a meal with friends. It looks delicious with the
traditional omelet and tomato garnish. You will need a shallow dish of approximately 1.5 litres.

NASI GORENG CONTINUED INGREDIENTS:
METHOD:
• 110g (4oz) unsalted butter
Slice the onion into rings and cube the pork. Fry gently in half the butter for 20 minutes with the lid on the pan.
• 1 large onion • 325g (12oz) shoulder of pork (or diced pork)
Meanwhile cook the rice and also cook the vegetables according to the directions on the packets.
• 250g (8oz) long grain rice
When the pork is cooked add the remainder of the butter, the rice and vegetables with salt, pepper, the curry powder and a few drops of soy sauce. Mix well and heat thoroughly.

Boing, boing gone! For more than a century, the Slazenger tennis balls used at Wimbledon made the short journey from the company's Barnsley factory to SW19. But the factory there was closed down in the early 2000s and the components for the balls now ‘travel’ over 55,000 miles to their ultimate manufacture in the Philippines. (The wool covering is shipped from New Zealand for treatment in Stroud before being sent on for final assembly for instance.)
are sold to the public at knock down prices, to raise funds for The School’s Tennis program. Old balls are also used to give Harvest Mice a nice cosy home in nature reserves. Seemingly they love them – zorbing & spinning in them before settling down to have a family inside.
More than 54,000 balls are used during the tournament, 2000 a day. It is suspected that about 50 wayward balls a day are whisked away by spectators as a souvenir…even though they should really be returned to the game to keep the balls in use ‘matched’.

ALBION'S WORLD CUP CONNECTIONS Albion’s sixth at the top table of the English game, which suggests that, probably, there hasn’t been much involvement in football’s big showpiece. At times like these, it is therefore very useful to be good friends with the club’s historian, Tim Carder. What he doesn’t know about the Seagulls could be written on a stamp, in marker pen, so hopefully the following World Cup/Albion link ups will be as thorough as possible! Of course, we should start with England. Only one player, while being contractually obliged to the club, has ever worn the three lions – Steve Foster in 1982. The imposing centre back, who featured in two spells on the coast wore number six as Trevor Francis
Sammy Nelson After watching Brighton & Hove Albion beat Manchester United to secure another season in the Premier League, the best footballing spectacle is undoubtedly the World Cup. Every four years, teams from across the planet represent their countries in a monthlong competition seen by 10

scored the only goal in an unflattering group-stage victory over Kuwait. Wayne Bridge came off the bench twice during in the 2002 tournament in Japan before making the left-back berth his own during 2012/13 when he was on loan from Manchester City. Staying at the back, BBC pundit Matt Upson scored on his final, and 21st, international appearance as England lost to Germany, 4-1, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Despite hitting the target, the Suffolk-born stopper, and his partner John Terry, were at fault for the opposition’s strikes. Just three years later he ventured under Gus Poyet’s glass ceiling before the Uruguayan was ‘sacked’ on live television.

The midfielder’s teammate in that successful season was striker Chris Wood, who enjoyed the campaign on loan after playing for New Zealand – the only undefeated side in the tournament – in the 2010 World Cup. Swedish goalkeeper Rami Shaaban – who guarded Albion’s posts six times in 2005 – saw action at the 2006 tournament, despite not having an international cap to his name, against Trinidad and Tobago after first choice Andreas Isaksson was hit in the face by a shot two days before the match.

Moving further afield, Tony Meola sang the star bangled at Italia 90, patrolling the penalty area for the USA before heading straight for Hove and a battle with the goalkeeper in trousers, Perry Digweed, for the coveted number one jersey. He left after two matches. Chris Birchall performed admirably in the loan-laden Albion side of 2008/09. The 14

Last season’s first choice left-back Gaeton Bong – who made 23 Premier League appearances – played one match for Cameroon in the 2010 World Cup, their last group match against the Netherlands, losing 2–1. ‘The Indomitable Lions’ were defeated in all three group stage games. In June 2014, current Albion reserve custodian Tim Krul was included in the Netherlands squad for the World Cup in Brazil. In the quarter-final against Costa Rica he was brought on a 120th-minute sub for the penalty shootout, saving the first two of the five spot kicks he faced as his side won 4–3. It was the first time a goalkeeper had been sent on as a substitute purely for a penalty shootout.

On to Russia 2018 and Albion fans have a trio of squad members’ fortunes to follow. Jose Izquierdo, who netted some spectacular goals in his first season in England, travels to his first tournament as a Colombian international. Summer signing Leon Balogun has been selected for the Nigeria 23 after fans got their first glimpse of the defender in the first half of their 2-1 defeat against England at Wembley as part of the tournament warm-up. But, technically, he’s not an Albion player until July 1st!
Australian goalkeeper Maty Ryan is at his second World Cup and hopes to maintain his excellent ever-present Albion form from 2017/18. So there you have it – Albion players, and various tenuous links to greatest show on earth. I write this as the tournament is well under way. Probably best not to jinx England’s chances by making bold predictions! Dan Tester

A History of Tennis Gear By Jayne Shrimpton
This tennis club photograph, 1890s, shows a version of late-Victorian tennis dress for mixed players. In 1875 lawn tennis was first included in the activities of Wimbledon’s All England Croquet Club (founded 1868) and in 1877 the club, re-named The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club, instituted the first Lawn Tennis Championships. This celebrated annual event remains the greatest international tennis tournament and Wimbledon champions are undisputed style leaders on the courts. Here we look back at some of the cumbersome modes worn before the evolution of more modern tennis gear. Victorian costume Early male tennis players enjoyed some freedom from the constraints of regular dress and favoured similar clothes to those already worn for sports like cricket. During the 1870s generally a loose white shirt was teamed with trousers or with knee-length knickerbockers 18

and stockings, a lounge jacket typically worn at the start of a game, but often discarded during play. In the 1880s some players adopted striped sports shirts or crew-necked jerseys: by late-decade white flannel trousers were usual, worn with soft, rubbersoled canvas shoes. During the 1890s a plain or striped flannel blazer became fashionable, often accessorised with a round sportsman’s cap, the blazer pocket bearing the wearer’s club badge. Unlike men, female players were mainly governed by fashion and in the later 1870s wore the figurehugging ‘Princess’ gown incorporating a long, impractical train. Thick flannel, jersey and serge materials were customary for early tennis costumes, although when Maud Watson won the first Wimbledon Ladies’ championship in 1884, palecoloured or white garments were already becoming popular, as they helped to mask the dreaded perspiration. Evidently pinafores with ball pockets were also a useful addition at this time. In 1885 The Field magazine recommended: ‘A costume of pale blue flannel with deep kilted skirt and long basque bodice, an embroidered apron with pocket to hold the balls..’ Otherwise ladies’ tennis dress displayed conventional fashion features, even the

cumbersome projecting bustle during the mid-late 1880s. The National Dress Society (later Rational Dress Society) advocated more appropriate garments, suggesting the removal of hampering corsets and even adoption of a practical bloomer costume. However female bloomers resembling men’s knickerbockers were widely deemed unattractive and rarely worn for tennis. This was also true of the ‘comfortable divided skirts’ or curious ‘expanding dress’ enthusiastically proposed by health writer Ada Ballin in The Science of Dress (1885). Fear of appearing ‘unladylike’ delayed any real progress in the development of functional female tennis dress during the Victorian age. Rather, fashion publications
White was well established for tennis dress by the time of this photograph (1906). Edwardian women wore wide ankle-length skirts and rolled up their sleeves [Wikimedia Commons] endorsed alluring, feminine costumes like the ensemble coquettishly described in 1894: ‘Tennis costume, two inches off the ground, of serge lined with check silk (glimpses of which would be revealed as she trips hither and thither) cut in one with the corselet which has narrow shoulder straps and laces down the back…check silk shirt..’

At the century’s close, Lottie Dod, Wimbledon champion during the late-1880s and 1890s, yearned for ‘a suitable attire for women’s tennis which does not impede breathing’.

them… The vest [waistcoat] is an optional part of this suit.’ Women’ tennis dress continued to follow fashion, although the separate blouses and skirts worn in the early-1900s proved more comfortable than fitted Victorian gowns, while new wide skirt hemlines were worn several inches off the ground, making movement slightly easier. In 1905 American tennis player May Sutton shocked Wimbledon by rolling back her cuffs to reveal her elbows, her sleeves ‘too long and too hot’: this bold move helped to further the concept of freeing limbs from constricting garments. Throughout the early 20th century white became firmly established for women’s tennis dress. Our Home magazine wrote on 1st July 1911: ‘Every year there is a discussion as to what is best to play in, but every year the question arrives at the same answer. The

short, fairly full, white linen skirt is the best from all points of view, and the white silk shirt.’ These garments were underlined with one or more thick petticoats and knee-length knickers, substantial layers that ensured the light did not shine through, immodestly revealing the player’s silhouette. Inter-war innovations Male tennis wear changed little between the early-1900s and the late-1920s, when dress in general finally grew more relaxed and a comfortable open-necked shirt replaced the formal collar and tie. By the early-1930s short-sleeved shirts were becoming acceptable and simultaneously an even more daring development occurred. In 1933 Bunny Austin was the first male tennis player to enter a major public competition wearing not trousers, but shorts. His lead soon followed by others, he was championed by the Men’s Dress Reform Party, who had already been advocating shorts for sports and leisure wear. For some years shorts and long trousers co-existed on the courts, but by the late-1930s shorts were the favoured option: in 1946 Yvon Petra was the last man to win the Wimbledon title wearing long trousers. Women’s tennis wear was revolutionised when Frenchwoman Suzanne Lenglen played Wimbledon after WW1 wearing a flimsy, uncorseted, calf-length cotton frock with short sleeves, a length of silk chiffon worn as a headband. Tennis dresses rose to the knee in the late-1920s, by which time Californian Helen Wills Moody had also introduced the golfstyle visor as a practical and stylish accessory. In 1931 Spanish player Lili de Alvarez shocked Wimbledon by wearing a divided skirt resembling 26

Lili de Alvarez shocked Wimbledon in 1931 when she became the first female to wear a divided skirt (culottes) on the court, promoting the concept of female shorts [Wikimedia Commons] culottes, created by fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli – the introduction of female ‘shorts.’ During the early1930s a debate raged over culottes but by the end of the decade tailored women’s shorts and short-sleeved shirts were an acceptable alternative to pleated skirts and dresses. Gertrude Moran (‘Georgeous Gussie’) caused the last major sensation in 1949 when she wore an extraordinarily short white Ted Tinling-designed dress that revealed glimpses of lace-trimmed knickers. Past Wimbledon players braved publicity and boldly championed game-enhancing dress innovations that extended beyond the realms of tennis, pioneering some of the comfortable, relaxed clothes that we take for granted today. www.jayneshrimpton.co.uk • info@prestonpages.com • www.prestonpages.com

Meccano, a great British success story – see it at the Knoyle Hall on the 21st Why do the Sussex Vintage Model Railway Collectors display Meccano models at their popular old-time toy and model train shows at the Knoyle Hall? Well, we owe Meccano to Frank Hornby (1863-1936), and without Meccano there would be no Hornby Trains or Hornby Dublo, and the British toy train scene would be very different. A cashier for a Liverpool meat importing firm, Frank liked to invent and make things in his home workshop in his spare time. Near the end of the nineteenth century he was on a train journey thinking about what he could make to give his sons Roland and Douglas for Christmas. A flash of inspiration came when the train stopped at a signal and looking out he saw a crane. “It occurred to me that I could make a crane like that using strips of steel,” he wrote. “I was drunk with delight when I got out of the train.” But he knew that it would be a long and tedious job to make

I felt that what was required was parts that could be applied in many different ways to many different models.” So here were two key ideas for his famous constructional toy. The basic parts, he soon decided, would be metal

strips 2 ½ inches, 5 ½ inches and 12 ½ inches long, each half an inch wide and punched with holes at half inch intervals, so that they could be joined together with nuts and bolts or take an axle. The range of parts eventually grew to about 300, but these strips have remained the basic ones throughout the whole history of the product. Meccano is still made (in France), and has never gone metric, so a modeller can use modern and century-old parts in the same model. Helped by Roland and Douglas, the first of millions of “Meccano Boys” (his own words) Frank started making prototype parts in copper, a relatively soft metal that is fairly easy to work with in a home workshop. He hoped

Meccano, a great British success story - see it at the Knoyle Hall on the 21st...continued
as leading manufacturing nation, concentrating thoughts on the value of learning mechanics.
An American freight train by a local modeller at the 2017 show. to buy suitable nuts and bolts but couldn’t, so he had to make these too. He managed to make axles, but not wheels, and had to have wheels cast at a local foundry. Eventually however he had enough parts to make a simple crane, and when this was taken apart to make a railway truck. His kindly employer encouraged him to patent his invention (in 1901) and to market it, and gave him time off work to start production. With just one employee, a girl to do the packing, Frank made the first few sets for sale in 1902 under the name “Mechanics made easy”. A heroic uphill struggle followed with many setbacks, but twelve years
later Meccano Ltd had a large purpose-built factory in Binns Road, Liverpool - and bases in France, Germany and the US. Building on Meccano’s success, Hornby Train followed in 1920. As an early 20th century invention Meccano came at just the right time. As an educational toy it chimed in well with Friedrich Frobel’s in vogue kindergarten movement and “learning through play”. Secondly as the range of parts widened Meccano became a supreme example of a childhood amusement that could grow into a serious adult hobby, itself a relatively new concept then. Thirdly Germany and the US were gaining on Britain
Indeed, with its ability to reproduce any kind of structure or mechanism, Meccano became a valuable tool for inventors. To give just two examples, George Cawardine made the prototype Anglepoise lamp from Meccano, and Alec Issigonis used it to work out his designs for the original Mini. And to this day many scientists and engineers will claim to have been “Meccano Boys” - or Girls. So Meccano deserves an honoured place at the Collectors’ events. Their Summer Toy and Model Train Show will be at the Knoyle Hall, Knoyle Road BN1 6RB on Saturday July 21st (10 am – 4.30 pm). Admission is £4 for adults with no charge for accompanied children.

SPELDHURST CHURCH & HEVER CASTLE Late Summer Outing Saturday 18th August 2018 After lunch we will visit the magnificent Hever Castle which was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, the 2nd wife of Henry VIII and was finally given by him to Ann of Cleaves as part of the divorce settlement. It has a wonderful setting with a moat surrounding the castle. You will then be able then to see the splendid Italianate gardens which include a maze and other interesting features.
After leaving Brighton we will travel to Speldhurst near Tonbridge to see St Mary’s Church. This is at least the 3rd church built on the same site and contains a complete set of stain glass windows designed by the famous pre-Raphaelite artists Burne Jones and William Morris. For those who have been to see St Michael’s in Brighton you would be familiar with their
and other pre-Raphaelite artist’s work. We will have a conducted tour by one of the church’s members. Hopefully we will be able to get a coffee in the George and Dragon pub opposite the Church and then we will have lunch at the Wheatshief at Bough Beech near Hever Castle. The pub dates back to Tudor times but was updated in the Georgian period.
To book phone: MARTIN FOSTER 01273 729998 by no later than Friday 10th August. Costs include Coach, Entrance fees and Guided tour of the Church. £43, Senior Cits £42

Joyful July and The Sun Has Got His Hat on so Why Not You? By Dr Sima Patel
“For me, there is very little difference between magic and art. To me, the ultimate act of magic is to create something from nothing: It’s like when the stage magician pulls the rabbit from the hat.” – Alan Moore July is the height of summer and most of us want the sun to be shining with deep blue skies and not a cloud in sight. We can hear ourselves singing happy tunes such as ‘the sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray, the sun has got his hat on and is coming out today’. Research has shown that there is a feel good factor that comes with wearing just the right clothes. At this time of year, it is wonderful to people watch and see the range of hats being worn. Everything from cycling caps and helmets, flat billed caps, sun visors and of course, the glamorous hats worn at the Chelsea Flower Show and a variety of horse racing events across Sussex and Surrey. We don’t have to be magical, we can just create our own magic with hats. Hats are clearly a good protective factor against the rays of strong sunshine. However, they can add a whole range of other feel good factors as described below. Given that July should be a feel good month with summer holidays just around the corner for those lucky ones, why not make July fun by wearing some different hats, doing hat swaps with friends and having a good laugh in hats that just don’t suit you.
So why should we wear hats? • Hats can make you stand out.
While most people prefer not to stand out, sometimes that’s exactly what you need. Have you ever found your head turning to take a double glance at someone wearing a hat that suits them down to a T? Why not
36
01273 299219
mark a day in July where you wear a hat that makes you stand out and perhaps you could turn a few heads.
• The right hat makes you look confident. Throwing on the right hat can
make you exude confidence. Wide brimmed hats can have this particular impact. Why not try a fedora or a flat billed snapback worn in different positions. As quoted by Neil Gaiman, ‘some hats can only be worn if you’re willing to be jaunty, to set them at an angle and to walk beneath them with a spring in your stride as if you’re only a step away from dancing’. Go on, give a hat a go.
• It completes the look. Hats are like the icing on the cake. You can look great without one but you can look so much better with one on. So can you think of a hat that puts that final touch on your already great style? If so, have you got the courage to wear it and feel good?
• Hats can frame or shape your face. Hats provide a wonderful optical illusion to make parts of our face appear less noticeable or accentuate other parts of our face. The right hat can be flattering on anyone. Wide brimmed hats bring attention outwards instead of upwards so are better at covering the forehead. For those with a short or small face, a simple beanie or beret can add to your look without overwhelming your gentle features. Go on, if you don’t have your own, you can always borrow one.

• A great way to have no bad hair days. Hats are a real treat when there is simply no time to take care of your hair or if your hair can’t stand wet conditions which of course we don’t want too much of in July. So for those occasional British summer rain showers, a hat could do the trick.
• Hats are just great fun. Why not have a hat party. Everyone brings a hat and everyone spends time wearing different hats, creating belly aching laughter. Or why not have a hat making party and get some creative juices flowing.
• Bakerboy caps, baseball, engineer and watch caps, beanies, cotton hats, flat caps, fedoras and homburgs, trilbies and pork pies, tweed hats, top hats and cokes (bowlers), rain hats, panamas, boaters and straw hats, bandeaus and visors, berets, boaters, cloches and trilbies, panamas and silk sun hats, all weather hats. Why not treat yourself to a lovely fun hat or borrow one; go on, you know you want to, especially for the days of joyful July when you want to feel great. Dr Sima Patel Chartered Psychologist and Coach
• Make someone happy with a hat. Hats are wonderful gifts and souvenirs and could be just the right gift at the right time. Especially those really thoughtful ones such as the perfect panama hat or a cycling helmet.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long
standing company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Brighton & Hove areas and
manager Aaron Smith agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Aaron a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!
