Drop in reopens, volunteers wanted Seaford Town Council is pleased to announce that the Old Town Hall has been reopened by the new group Seaford Old Town Hall Community Tea Rooms.

The Old Town Hall opened its doors on 16th March to continue the service previously provided by the St James’ Trust, which proved to be a valuable service for people to meet one another within the local community.

The Seaford Old Town Hall Community Tea Rooms are open for light refreshments including tea, coffee, biscuits and cakes; opening times run from Mon- Fri 10am – 1pm and Saturdays 10am –12pm. This service is open for the over 50s and the disabled in the community.

The volunteers are trialling the running the facility themselves for a three month period. Whilst they have all the experience needed to serve the teas and coffees they are looking for someone to help do all their administration who is IT literate. This should be no more than an hour a week and is pivotal to keeping the community facility running well into the future.

If you think you are able to lend a hand for an hour a week, please go to the Old Town Hall and speak to one of the volunteers, or alternatively contact Seaford Town Council on 01323 894870 or email in to: admin@seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk for more information.

SIX ARTISTS AND A DOG

The public consultation for the proposed new children’s play area at The Salts started in time for Easter. The consultation ran online for just over two weeks, from 2nd to 19th April with displays and survey questionnaires based at The Salts Café.

The public were asked to select their favourite design from the range of proposals from play manufacturers; these proposals included 3-D Aspect views of the design, a coloured plan for each; and one Design book/ Storyboard offering a description of the individual manufacturers design process. The public also had the opportunity to make comments on any relevant factors about their selected design, which will be taken into account to the start of the project.

The manufacturer’s have been working to a design brief that was developed using the feedback from the public consultation in 2013, which also provided the groundwork for producing The Salts Development Plan.

Following the consultation, the results will be counted and feedback comments assessed. Once the nominated manufacturer is confirmed, the winning design will be reviewed to ensure the best final result for the users of The Salts.

To keep up to date with progress please either visit Seaford Town Council’s website: www.seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk or like Seaford Town Council on Facebook. For more information contact directly on 01323 894870 or email admin@ seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk

You can also view a copy of ‘The Salts Development Plan’ on the Town Council’s website. The Town Council is actively developing projects and seeking funding for the other aspects of the plan and welcomes any feedback or suggestions. The next significant development stages will be focused on Tennis Courts, Skate Park and proposed MUGA, as well as related cycling aspects.

East Blatchington Lectures THE familiar cry of “Oyez, Oyez, Oyez!” will echo (briefly) around the walls of the 12th-century church of St Peter’s. It’s nothing sacred, but the sound of an ancient tradition.

Notice of Annual General Meeting The Annual General Meeting of the Seaford Seniors’ Forum will take place on

Tuesday 26th May 2015 At Seaford Baptist Church, Belgrave Road, Seaford BN25 2EE Commencing at 2pm.

Guest Speakers:

For the guest speaker at the next of the East Blatchington Lectures will be Seaford’s Town Crier, Peter White (above), who is coming to talk about his craft.

A town crier, or bellman, makes public announcements in the streets. A Crier often dresses elaborately, by a tradition dating to the 18th century, and carries a handbell to attract people’s attention.

Sussex MSK Partnership East: “A new way of providing Musculoskeletal service” Sussex Housing & Care: “Housing: Helping people live their later lives to the full” For more information email: contact@seaford-seniors-forum.org or see our website: www.seaford-seniors-forum.org

He shouts the words “Oyez, Oyez, Oyez!” before making his announcement. That word “Oyez” means, as you may have guessed, “hear ye,” a call for silence and attention, and apparently it derives from the Anglo-Norman word for listen.

This Town Crier, and his bell, will require your attention at St Peter’s Church, Belgrave Road, Seaford, on Tuesday, May 5th, and the event is open to everyone.

His talk starts at 2.30pm, and tickets are £7, including refreshments, available from Newberry Tully estate agents.

MARTELLO ROTARY CLUB CARE FOR THE CARERS

The Club had invited Jennifer Twist and Cheryl Carey from Care for the Carers to come along and tell us all about their organisation, which is now in its 25th year. They are an independent registered charity that supports around 60,000 carers of all ages in East Sussex, and they operate a centre in Eastbourne with office facilities and a drop-in centre allowing groups of carers to get together, share experiences and receive support. Young carers have a Youth Club-style meeting in Hastings, Eastbourne, Newhaven and Laughton.

Club President Dave Winsor presented them with a cheque for £500.

A NEW MEMBER FOR MARTELLO

Alison Matcham was welcomed as a new member and was formally presented with her Rotary badge and other items by President Dave. She was brought up in Yorkshire, qualified as a solicitor in 1980 and worked as a property lawyer in London until 1987.

She then moved to Buckinghamshire and worked as a property lawyer in private practice in between raising two sons. From 2003 she worked as senior property solicitor for a district council, retiring in December 2013.

She said “I had always wanted to retire to a place by the sea and was lured by the quiet charm of Seaford whilst visiting friends here. I am looking forward to enjoying walking in the beautiful surrounding countryside, getting involved in the local life and being able to make a contribution to the locality through Rotary.”

RATHFINNY ESTATE - THE VINEYARD ON OUR DOORSTEP!

Richard James is the Operations Manager at the Rathfinny Estate, created by Mark and Sarah Driver, and he came to the Club to update us on what has been happening. It consists of 250 hectares (roughly 212 rugby pitches) and the geology is exactly the same as that of the Champagne region of France. All the vines are south facing and it is an ideal place to produce quality wine. The farm was purchased in 2010 and there are currently 65 hectares (140 acres) under 210,000 vines with plans to have a total of 140 hectares (300 acres) under 700,000 vines by 2020. This should produce 1 million bottles each year. It will then be the largest winery in the UK, and the estate will be growing Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. As well as the winery, Rathfinny is also an arable farm, and produces spring barley, wheat and oilseed rape. The sparkling wine takes 3 years to produce and the next phase in the development is to create storage facilities for 4 million bottles. Wow!

Richard answered all the questions thrown at him with great enthusiasm and he was thanked for giving the Club an insight into this remarkable new venture.

SAINSBURY COLLECTION

The weekend before Easter saw some slightly scary creatures lurking in the foyer at Sainsbury’s supermarket, but it was all in a good cause – they were Martello Rotarians in fancy dress collecting for Rotary charities! Our thanks go to Sainsbury for allowing us to be there and to everyone who put money in our buckets. The total amount collected over 3 days was just under £750 – a great result, thank you.

Our picture shows Rotarians Annette Blackman and John Windsor in action.

The Martello Rotary Club meets on Monday evenings at Seaford Golf Club and welcomes new members. For more information email : plbseaford@aol.com or call 01323 894553 or 07802 305158.

RARE OR UNUSUAL VEGETABLES FOR THE TABLE

t

Samphire Salicoria Europaea Samphire, also known as sea asparagus, poor man’s asparagus, sea pickle or glasswort comes in two main species within the UK and European zone.

The common coastal variety Crithmum Maritimum grows naturally along our coast in shallow tidal seawater. This has a bitter taste and is not usually eaten but is often used in restaurants and fish shops for decoration. The more edible variety is Salicornia Europaea. This is said to be a fantastic vegetable in its own right or made into a tasty pickled vegetable.

Samphire can be grown in a container or in the open ground. It is available, pot grown, from the Victoriana Nursery. Otherwise seed is available from Suttons (James Wong Home Grown Range) from most garden centres. Treat as an annual in light, well drained soil. Samphire, given some winter protection will re-seed itself. It is said to taste rather salty!

s Spring changes to Summer and as the days lengthen our garden is a hive of industry. This is the perfect time for anyone who is not already a member to consider joining the Seaford & District Horticultural Society. We are a friendly bunch that enjoys gardening and it’s social activities. It does not matter whether you have a small, medium or large garden. Perhaps you have a courtyard, window box or no garden at all. You may even have just an allotment where you like to grow lots of fresh fruit and veg!

You will still enjoy joining our group. We organise many monthly social evenings at St Leonard’s Church Hall, with guest speakers on a variety of subjects, for example Brighton Pavilion Gardens, Great Dixter and our own Gardener’s Question Time. There are three, sometimes four coach outings each year. This year we are going to Kew Gardens, Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and Leeds Castle. There is our large main Annual Show

JOBS TO DO IN MAY

3 This month is ideal for sowing lots of

seeds, especially annuals (try something new), vegetables including carrots, parsnips, dwarf beans and runner beans.

Also don’t forget some fresh herbs.

3 Harden off seeds already sown earlier, as it gives some protection if frosts are forecast.

3 Weed regularly. Most weeds can be disposed of into the compost bin.

3 Plant up your summer pots and containers.

Refresh any left from last year.

3 Make sure your greenhouse has adequate shading and ventilation. Check mid morning that it’s not getting too hot.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD

The next Social Evening at St Leonard’s Church Hall is on Thursday 28th May at 7pm. The guest speaker is Ian Everest on ‘From Sussex oxen to the tractor’.

Plus the usual raffle, refreshments and society news.

What goes around comes around, and so we shouldn’t have been surprised to see volunteer John putting another coat of blue paint on a clematis obelisk. The trouble was, he had only painted it last summer and the way that time flies in a garden that seemed like just last week. It couldn’t need doing again already could it? Well yes, if you want things to last… And of course in our community garden, as in all gardens, we have constant reminders of the movement of time and the cyclical nature of the growth process.

As this is being written, seeds for veg and annuals are being sown and the tool shed is being cleared by Mike and John, when he can take a break from the painting that is… And for those who can afford to take a moment to South Down Garden A6:Layout 6 27/3/15 07:02

For volunteers, spring means such moments have to be snatched for there is always work to do, and the other week we were preparing the garden for National Open Gardens Day on 17th April. Ana, for instance, has been doing more softwood cuttings, this time for osteospermums, and Steph got her grandson Stan, aged five, planting broad bean seeds inside toilet roll inners. Herb specialist, Bob, has been planting bergamot and rue, but does warn that exposure to the latter, or herbal preparations derived from it, can cause severe phytophotodermatitis, which results in burn-like blisters on the skin.

That the soil is in such good condition is down to our rich compost derived from welcome gifts of kitchen waste and tended by Mike. Frogs and toads have been active in the wildlife pond, and there is a goodly quantity of spawn to prove it.

We are delighted to welcome several new volunteers including Bill, Elizabeth and May. If you would like to volunteer in this busy and friendly garden, please call in on any Wednesday between 9.30am and 12.30pm where you are assured of a welcome and a tour to see for yourself what we are about.

Seaford Gardening Club Spring is such a pretty time of the year, with bulbs in full flower, the blossom on the trees beginning to come out, and insects like bees and butterflies putting in an appearance. What a beautiful show the daffodils have made at two entrances into Seaford, plus the colourful flower beds in the town centre. They brighten up Seaford for residents and visitors alike.

At our March meeting Steven Moore gave a very informative talk entitled ‘A Talk on Plants’. Steven owns Rapkyns Nursery at Broad Oak. He describes himself as a nursery man and plantoholic, having begun his career at 12 years old – helping his parents in their garden.

After also securing a part time job in a local nursery for 50p an hour, he decided to go to college in Kent to gain more knowledge. He was offered a piece of land by his uncle, which he gladly accepted. It was hard work building up the business, with the help of his wife, working evenings and weekends. The nursery is now a thriving concern, selling a huge selection of plants for all seasons and conditions. Although they were plagued by mice at one stage, their hard-working cat soon put paid to them eating leaves on some of the plants. Sadly, she is now getting old and prefers to sleep most of the day.

It looks as if a younger model may be on the cards to help out!

Steven had many plants on display to describe their various needs and best positions to plant out in our gardens; while some are quite happy in chalk, others such as camellias etc. need ericaceous compost and may be better planted in pots. There were various beefriendly plants to encourage these important insects into our plots, such as sedum, buddleja, lavender etc.

After the talk was finished, he sold off the display and did a roaring trade with everyone going home with one or more – not many went back in his van! It was a very interesting and enjoyable evening for us all. We have already booked him for a return visit next year.

Our next talk on Wednesday 27th May is by Laurie Manser and entitled ‘Gardening in the Old Days’.

Rotary Club of Seaford Grand Charity Quiz Night

The Rotary Club of Seaford held its annual Charity Quiz Night on Friday 27th March, and a competitive, friendly and amusing evening was enjoyed by all. St Leonard’s Church Hall was packed as 16 teams battled for the trophy and honour of first place. Our Quiz Mistress, Michele Roper, kept the questions flowing, ably supported by a team of scorers and helpers.

First place went to The Outlaws, winning the trophy for the second year running. The Von Trapps came in second, followed closely by The Welly Wanderers in third place. During the interval the teams sat down to a welcome meal – big thank you to all those who prepared, cooked and served the food.

Towards the end of the evening the raffle was drawn and the wonderful range of prizes were handed out to the lucky winners. The raffle prizes were generously donated by Eastbourne Devonshire Park Theatre, Diella’s restaurant, Millies of Seaford, Swindells Accountants, Church Lane Flowers and Morrison’s.

The evening concluded with a heartfelt thank you from the President of Seaford Rotary Club, Ray Hazan, and the team with the lowest score received their ‘Last Place’ prizes. The Outlaws received their trophy and bottles of wine, bringing the evening to a close, with much talk about returning in 2016 to do better. The event raised almost £500 for charities and worthy causes.

Tea Leaf Vision Lifts Quality of Life for Young People The plight of youngsters on some tea plantations in Sri Lanka was highlighted in a talk given recently by Rotarian Tim Pare to the Rotary Club of Seaford.

Behind the picture postcards of smiling young women plucking tea, there is a hidden story of entrenched hardship and hopelessness, of personal, civil and humanitarian rights abuse, and of on-going health issues – both physiological and psychological. Tea Leaf Vision (TLV)

26

is a vocational education centre that provides free, full-time education for young people in Maskeliya, Sri Lanka, providing an effective means of lifting young people out of almost impossible conditions.

Yadharshini Selvaraj, Principal at the TLV Centre for Professional Development, leads the wide-ranging programme. Prior to this role, she was Head of Grammar and Speech at the Centre. She is also a fully qualified counsellor and holds TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TKT (Teacher Knowledge Test) qualifications. Knowledge of English is low to non-existent in tea plantations and Miss Selvaraj has developed lessons that young people can engage with, understand and use when starting employment.

The Tea Leaf Trust was formed in 2008 after Tim Pare and Yasmene Shah visited Sri Lanka on honeymoon.

Their experiences induced them to move to Sri Lanka to provide vocational education to the youngsters from Tea Estate communities. In 2010, they established the TLV Centre in Maskeliya – one of the poorest tea plantation areas. In five years, TLV has seen: • 688 students graduate from the full time diploma; • 1,061 students graduate from the Basic English Programme; • 6,813 children aged 7-12 benefit from the Community English Programme; • 8,795 children aged from 5-16 benefit from the holiday activities programme; and • 24,915 community members benefit from TLV ‘service projects’.

TLV targets the 18-24 age group, teaching the students English and helping them realise their potential to find stable, salaried employment away from the poorly paid and often back-breaking manual labour of the tea plantations. Additionally, students are given support for living in the midst of complex societal issues, such as sexual abuse and violence. Special activities also encourage students to develop self-confidence, knowledge of peace-building and a means of achieving ethnic cohesion.

PROBATE? Q: A:

How do you save on Probate Solicitor’s fees?

Instruct Lawson Lewis Blakers Solicitors because we only charge for the actual work carried out, we do not charge a percentage fee like most other solicitors, accountants and banks.

Typically, solicitors charge a percentage fee based on the value of the estate as well as an hourly charge. The percentage fee can be up to 0.75% of the value of the property and up to 1.5% of the value of the other assets. So, where for example an estate consists of a house worth £350,000 and savings of £150,000, the percentage fee will be £4,875 plus VAT on top of the solicitor’s normal hourly charges.

Lawson Lewis Blakers pride ourselves in offering our client the very best service for the very best value by only charging for the work actually carried out. We also offer fixed fees. Call us and ask for more details.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy When the weather is raining and grey, how can we lift our mood?

Exercise: When we

exercise our brain releases feel-good endorphins, making us happier. Even a short five minute stroll round the block can boost your mood. Think how you might add just a little more movement into your daily life: Maybe a few morning yoga poses, or an evening walk?

Get Immersed: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, renowned psychologist found that immersing ourselves in an activity we love, which also requires skill, makes us happy. Try reading, playing the guitar, writing a blog, or cooking, immerse yourself in a hobby and your mood will brighten.

Seaford Little Theatre presents

the Wooden Dish

Old men can dream dreams! Most people’s hopes are destined to remain unfulfilled. And old men can be cantankerous and stubborn, while their children can be dismissive and resentful. An evening of warmth and eventual understanding set in 1950s Texas.

Chronologically this intense study of human relationships is wedged between Miller’s All My Sons (1947) and Tennessee Williams’ Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1955) – both of which plays also focus on the intricacies of family life and how they affect the protagonists and the different generations.

Its timing was, in a way, unfortunate for Morris as the enormous impact on the theatre-going public by the plays of Miller and Williams have tended to eclipse that of Morris’s work. This is a great pity as The Wooden Dish is a work that deserves a far more exalted position in the modern American drama canon than it enjoys. All the ingredients of a powerful story are present: greed, lust, double-dealing, prejudice, pity, cynicism – the list is endless.

Laugh: Laughter changes the energy of a situation immediately and lightens our mood. Try watching a DVD of your favourite comedian. Better still, visit a comedy club and give yourself permission to laugh-out-loud.

Meditate: Scientific studies have proved that emotions, and happiness in particular, can be trained.

Even a few minutes of meditation per day have a positive impact our brain and sense of well-being.

Be part of a community – Research shows that people involved in their community are happier. Communities foster emotional support and a connection with others, which leads to a greater sense of well-being. The community could be a group of like-minded people such as a choir, or art-group.

By Sarah Davey This is a Little Theatre special, marking its anniversary year with a favourite play of our President Valerie Shepherd who played the female lead in the 1960s.

Seaford Little Theatre, 4 Steyne Road, Seaford BN25 1HA Evening performances commence 7.45pm, matinée Sat 16th May, 2.30pm. All seats £8, opening night, matinée and final Saturday all seats £7.

A TRIBUTE TO JOHN UNDERHILL

By Margaret Darwall Smith When John took over as Conductor of Seaford Choral Society, the choir had a membership of two dozen members or so. His eleven years at its helm saw the numbers rise to 120 singers – an exceptional achievement for someone with no formal music qualifications. However, his knowledge and understanding embraced a lifetime’s experience of playing piano and singing, first as a boy treble in his local church in Birmingham, and subsequently with his fine baritone voice in the small professional choirs of two famous London churches, St Bride’s and St Marylebone.

When he was about 10, John’s parents suggested he join the local choir for ‘something to do’. At that time, the choir in Aston Parish Church, Birmingham, had about 30 boys from local schools and, from the start, the Choirmaster recognised John’s potential. He encouraged John to take piano lessons and, before long, John was also having regular singing lessons.

At the age of 18, John gained Grade 8 on the piano and won first prize in the Birmingham Grammar Schools Music Festival. This award gave him a solo spot in the Music Festival Concert given in Birmingham Town Hall, performing Vaughan Williams’ ‘Songs of Travel’, accompanied by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, with David Willcocks conducting the performance. National Service followed, where John discovered a group of like-minded musicians. Together they sang and performed, made records and also founded their own club, ‘The Order of The Inverted Beer Mug’!

John then moved to London, taking lessons from Ellis Keeler as a part-time student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. These lessons broadened both his knowledge of music and his technique. When he read that St Bride’s Church in Fleet Street was looking for a baritone chorister for its professional choir, he took the plunge, auditioned, and much to his amazement, was offered the post. It was here that he met Val, and in 1969, John and Val were married.

Alongside his musical commitments, John worked fulltime as an Insurance and Risk Manager, first with Hawker Siddeley Aviation then with the National Bus Company, and finally in the world of merchant banking. He became

34

a regular soloist with various choral societies, and he and Val were invited to give song recitals to music societies.

Their three children, Christopher, Miriam and Elizabeth, were born within three years of each other.

In 1985, John was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease.

Although he made a full recovery, the radiotherapy treatment affected his vocal chords. He returned to another great love – conducting. This coincided with the family moving to Seaford, where John could benefit from the fresh salty air.

During the past 25 years, John has been responsible for the Cowbeech Chorale, The Heritage Singers, a choir he and Val established in Eastbourne, the Seaford Community Choir, Seaford Choral Society and The Peacehaven Players. In his time with Seaford Choral Society, John introduced the members to many exciting new works and instituted the Almost Instant concerts which take place each year in St Leonard’s Church. On Good Friday, anyone can come and join the choir to sing well-known works with a minimum of rehearsal. The chosen work this year was the beautiful Faure’s Requiem which was a particular favourite of John’s and this performance was dedicated to his memory. John’s patience and boundless enthusiasm persuaded even the most reluctant choir member to at least try and produce the goods. His natural musicianship and good humour eased tensions before performances and we all just wanted to do our best for him.

When he retired as Conductor of Seaford Choral Society, he continued to direct the U3A Recorder Group and also conducted the U3A’s Hotch-Potch Orchestra. Who could forget their unique rendition of Tchaikovsky’s ‘1812 Overture’ , when John distributed paper bags to the audience with instructions to blow them up and burst them when directed, to imitate the cannon-fire in the original score? Absolutely wonderful!

More recently, John had been investigating many different types of music, including Russian opera and South American classical music, through his participation with WEA classes.

John may have been taken from us, but he has left quite a legacy.

NEW SPONSORSHIP FOR SEAHAVEN STOREHOUSE Dawn Woodgate and the team at Seahaven Storehouse were delighted when STL Planning & Design Solutions Limited contacted them recently to offer sponsorship for a year.

The Storehouse has been providing food to needy families for over two years now, and is finding that the need is not only everpresent – but is, in fact, increasing. We are now regularly providing up to thirty families weekly with food parcels.

STL Planning & Design Solutions are a Newhavenbased architectural design company set up in 2006.

Wherever possible, they recruit staff locally and train them in-house, thus helping the local economy. Managing Director Simon Tucker says: ‘We chose Seahaven Storehouse as our charity for the year because we feel it right to support our local community wherever possible.

And Seahaven Storehouse helps us make a difference to local families in need.’

Dawn, who heads up the Storehouse, commented: ‘We are enjoying getting to know Simon and his team, and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with STL. The income we shall derive from STL’s input will be turned into much-needed groceries for our families in food crisis.

‘We are grateful to everyone in the area for the many ways in which they help meet the need for tinned and packaged goods, whether individually through the bins in Morrisons and the Co-op, by monetary donation, or via churches, schools and other organisations. Please continue to bear us in mind, for the sake of the families and individuals we support who are struggling at present to put food on the table week by week.’

The U3A Orchestra What a pleasure it is to turn up on a Friday morning and find a group of enthusiastic musicians ready and waiting to have fun and make beautiful music together.

This orchestra, which is part of the U3A programme, was formerly called HotchPotch and consists of people who love to socialise and perform together just for sheer enjoyment.

It all began in 1995 when some friends wanted to play together but needed a leader, so Christine Williams, a retired piano teacher, was persuaded to take on the role. Three recorder players, a violinist, an oboist and clarinetist met weekly at Christine’s house and played mainly 17th-century recorder music.

Then the group discovered the music publisher, Kaleidoscope, which produced scores, mainly for school orchestras, which were perfect for the unusual hotchpotch of instrumentalists who attended.

Through word of mouth numbers increased so bigger premises were needed. The repertoire gradually grew to include popular classics, musicals, rock and jazz.

DEganGas Services NATURAL GAS & LPG REPAIRS, SERVICING & INSTALLATION GAS SAFETY CERTIFICATES

Over the years, conductors included Gordon Bull, John Underhill and now Pat White. We have a regular attendance of 20 people, a string section, woodwind, brass, percussion and piano.

We have a range of abilities and can always find music for even the most inexperienced players. We don’t claim to be as good as the Royal Philharmonic, but we really enjoy what we do. Every year we give a concert and the next is on May 29th at Crossway Church, Steyne Road, Seaford, starting at 10.30am.

So come along, have a listen, and enjoy a coffee, cake and music that will range from medleys of songs from musicals through to Saint Saens ‘Carnival of the Animals’.

St James’ Trust Information Update Spring 2015 First of all we would like to thank the people who have used the Drop-In at the old Town Hall over the years and the Trustees were very sorry that they could not justify renewing the lease on the building into an uncertain future. Rising prices of supplies, heating costs and a major fall off in the use of the facility were all factors that had a part in the decision. Thanks too for the hard work of the Volunteers. We have donated the fixtures and fittings, Seaford Town Council have found someone willing to take it on we sincerely hope they get the support that we did not.

We would also like to apologize to all the client groups who have suffered from the lack of a working lift since December last year. Among these groups of elderly and/or disabled clients are the Lip Reading Group, the U3A Orchestra, the Various Recorder Groups, Hand Bell Ringers and others whose members require the

However we are now very pleased to be able to announce, after the sale of the derelict Old Wagon Factory building, that improvements to the Club House in Blatchington Road have started to happen after 6 years of limbo when funds were not available and deterioration has been considerable in the fabric of the buildings and the interior fitments and fittings. All of the old wooden framed windows and doors have now been replaced with double glazed units, the old domestic cooking equipment has been replaced with proper catering units and the heavy tatty old chairs, that have been ruining the very expensive to resurface, non slip floors, have now been replaced with comfortable modern light-weight stacking chairs.

Long overdue plans are underway to repair and repaint the interior and exterior of the Club House along with other vital maintenance work that has been on the back burner for several years.

use of the lift. The repairs to the Lift Machinery Room have been held up by protracted negotiations with a near neighbor. The same negotiations have caused a long delay in the refurbishment of the old Mortuary Building in future to be known as the Meeting room where One to One counselling and small group meetings, along with music lessons have all been disrupted and people disappointed. We hope to resume normal services to our groups as soon as possible.

We thank the people and organizations in Seaford who have supported us and donated funds to enable us to reach this exciting verge of a new era for St James’ Trust and we look forward to becoming an integrated centre for our target groups in the local community. We are working with other Charities and organizations to expand our services.

On evenings and weekends, when our target groups tend not use the facilities, we have 3 halls and a well equipped catering kitchen all available to hire for children’s parties, group meetings and other activities at very reasonable prices. Please phone Viv on 01323 492800 for details.

As always we are in dire need of more volunteers.

If you can spare a few hours a week please phone Viv on 01323 492800.

SEAFORD KURLERS

Spring is now in full swing and Mother Nature is blessing us with her beauty once again. I never cease to marvel at the variety of blooms that are around in the British Spring. More than equal to any other views in the World.

There is another glut of colour in our lives at the moment. Such variety of colour really is unbelievable.

There are reds, blues, yellows, greens, oranges and probably lots of combinations of them all. This particular show of colour reaches a peak every few years – I refer of course to the General Election. Unlike the very differing qualities of nature, these colours can confuse me. Hopefully we will all make a selection.

Seaford Kurlers tend to see red, blue, white and yellow. I refer to the colour of the Kurling stones. Every week we can be seen at the Downs Leisure Centre enjoying our sport. Come and see us at play.

We began our annual in-house competition on 21st April, 2015. For his sins – Ken Richardson is the organiser. This year it is a singles competition. Should be fun.

As most of you will know, our club plays the game of New Age Kurling. The beauty of this is that it can be enjoyed by people with quite severe disabilities. This is posssible because of the equipment aids that we have.

Most of our members are of an older age group. This does not, however, mean that the sport is only suited for this group. There are many very young people who have disabilities that preclude them from taking part at school in the mainstream sports. This means that early on in life they are ‘different’. If schools were to introduce a sport where all the pupils can excel, this would enable the pupils to be part of the sports world. If there are any sports teachers reading this perhaps they might

like to look into this possibility. As a society we are now trying to enable more care for the whole of the community. Following the news about the different coaching facilities provided by ESDA (East Sussex Disability Association), we are now looking for interesting venues to visit. Hopefully we can find something to suit most of our members. As usual, all we need is the good weather.

Seaford Kurlers meet every Tuesday at 2pm until 4pm with a refreshment break at half time. The catering facilities at the leisure centre are excellent. Your visit may encourage you to take part in some of the other sports and fitness classes at the centre. It could be the start of something good. If you wish to come and see the game, just turn up on any Tuesday – your first visit is free.

The weekly charges are £2.50 and there is an annual membership fee of £5.

A Good Read

The Poison Tree By Erin Kelly Finding your way in the world after leaving school can be daunting, and for Karen this is no different.

A language student at a college in London, she has a chance encounter with Biba, an exotic and bohemian student, and Karen’s life will never be the same again. Biba lives with her brother, Rex, in a crumbling gothic style townhouse in London, with a lifestyle that could not be further from the suburban humdrum that Karen grew up in. She is drawn to these two siblings and so begins a summer of freedom, cheap wine, experimental drugs and sexual adventures. The lure of Biba’s personality is tremendous and Karen clearly aspires to be like her.

Then, one day, their idyllic summer comes crashing to a halt. Karen learns the truth of Biba and Rex’s family life and an unexpected visitor leads to tragedy. A more mature Karen looks back on the events of that summer ten years later as she comes to terms with her role in everything.

As a reader, you know from the start that something is going to happen. Like a car crash in slow motion you can see it coming as Karen absorbs more and more of Biba’s exotic nature. Yet, when the author brings things to a climax you are thrown, dazed and shocked, along with Karen, in a debut novel that will stay with you long after you close it for the final time.

The Maze Runner

by James Dashner Post-apocalyptic and dystopian literature seems to be all the rage in the Young Adult fiction market these days.

Hot on the heels of the successful Hunger Games and Divergent trilogies comes The Maze Runner. Initially published in 2009 it came to prominence with the release of the film adaptation in 2014. Thomas is a teenager who awakes to find himself in a box in a place called the Glade. He has no memory of who he is or how he came to be there, but he is thrown into

this new community, and as a reader so are you. Before long you become familiar with the terminology used by the boys and you feel as if you are a Glader along with them.

As Thomas adjusts to his new home he learns about the Maze which surrounds the Glade.

Each day the walls open and a select group of runners spend daylight hours exploring and mapping it. It is a race against the clock because at sunset the Grievers – giant robotic creatures – enter the Maze and they are deadly.

The walls close to protect the community and overnight the structure of the Maze changes, leaving the runners to start again in the morning.

The big mystery is why. Why are Thomas and the other boys there and why do the Grievers come out to get them? Why do the walls in the Maze change and will the runners ever solve it? However, more importantly why has a girl been sent to the Glade and why has all communication with the outside world suddenly stopped? By Willow Coby

BISHOPSTONE PARISH HALL This popular venue is situated in the heart of Bishopstone Village behind the ancient church of St Andrews and adjacent to the village green (The Egg).

The Hall was built as village school in 1849. The school was closed in 1944, and the building was eventually purchased for £600 and passed to a committee of trustees in 1958 to be used as a Village Hall.

Since 1958, when the building was converted to community use, it has always been funded and managed by community volunteers. It is an independent facility, dependent on regular use, the generosity of the local community, and the time given by committee members past and present to sustain its place in the life of the Parish.

It is an ideal venue for fund-raising events from fête’s, whist drives, quizzes and popular talks by local historians.

To hire or make enquiries about the hall you can contact our Booking Secretary on 01323 895568.

There is an opportunity to see the Hall in action on 2nd May, for the Bishopstone May Fare from 12 noon to 4pm with the usual stalls of bric-a-brac, plants, toys, books, cakes and many others.

There will be light lunches and afternoon teas being served during the afternoon.

We would be grateful for any unwanted items for the stalls which can be dropped off at Linda’s Store, Bishopstone Station or contact 01323 492246. All proceeds go towards the upkeep of The Bishopstone Parish Hall. Charity No. 20882.

‘Life Stories’ – The Downs Singers We gathered at the Downs Leisure Centre on 28th March, our choir of twenty eight singers, all ‘senior citizens’, ‘over sixties’, ‘old folk’ or whatever the PC term is now; some baby boomers, some in their ninetieth decade, to perform before a packed house.

The idea for the concert began from the understanding that each one of us has a unique life story which reflects the history of our times. Some choir members were teenagers in World War II, whilst others came of age in the 1960s, both eras of world-wide change. Three life stories were chosen for the performance, interwoven with appropriate songs performed by the choir. These songs formed the repertoire during our weekly practices at Sutton Corner.

John Tozer, in his eighties, has been a music lover all his life. His story took us from DJing in Karachi in the 1940s, through the 50s jazz clubs of Soho (no alcohol but plenty of hashish) and included the fabulous big band era. A woman in the audience said after the concert “Oh my God I love that music and he was there when it was live!”.

John not only attended a Brighton concert by jazz legend, Stephan Grapelli, he hired him!

Nicki Greatrex’s story of a trip to South Africa to visit her dad, was sound-tracked by a compendium of sixties pop tunes, accompanied by a video of her holiday photos. Nicki’s charming story conveyed, in a simple and matter-of-fact way, the awe of a trip to a beautiful yet still poverty-stricken and dangerous land, dealing with the consequences of apartheid.

In the late 1940s, Veronica Nankivill was a fourteen-yearold child actress on stage and in film. Her story included

INSIDE OUT

anecdotes of working with such stellar names as Dame Edith Sitwell, Peter Ustinov, Bobby Howe and Sir John Gielgud. A re-telling of the less glamorous side of show business from the film ‘Pink String and Sealing Wax’ referenced Veronica having to scream as Googy Withers jumped off Brighton Pier and the many uncomfortable re-takes the actress had to endure.

The choir excelled themselves with Veronica and Terry duetting in ‘Island of Dreams’. The retiring collection was in aid of the vital work done by Beachy Head Chaplaincy.

Thanks are due to Graham and Terry for technical help, Liz and Sue for chairs and programmes, and to Pam for the charity boxes. We have three fascinating aural and visual documents to archive.

If you are 60+, do come and visit us on a Wednesday at 10.30am to see if you would enjoy singing with us. There are no auditions and we sing from a wide repertoire.

We are a friendly lot, being part of The Downs 60+ Club which offers many activities, including the choir, for the princely sum of £50 per year, should you decide to join.

WAIFS & STRAYS DOG RESCUE CENTRE Waifs And Strays Dog Rescue, was originally known as ‘Seaford Dog Rescue’ and renamed ‘Waifs and Strays Dog Rescue’ in January 2013. It is a non-profit-making organisation that takes in and re-homes unwanted dogs, provides a special living environment, helps them adapt and find permanent homes of their own. There are on average around 1,000 strays a year in the East Sussex area alone.

80-90% of these are reunited with their owners (very quickly if they are microchipped). The 10-20% we then take in. On top of this, where we can, we take in dogs that are surrendered to us, for many reasons. We work tirelessly, raising funds, to help pay towards any costs, the largest of which is our vet bills – we vaccinate and neuter all the dogs in our care. Let us introduce you to some of our dogs: First is Cassy, an 18-month-old Belguim Malinois. She is incredibly loving and very well mannered. She is good with dogs, scared of cats, and best suited to a home with children over 5 years. Cassy is looking for an active family home.

Then there is Maddison. He is a very sweet-natured boy who adores human companionship. He is good with dogs, not good with cats and best suited to a home with children over 5 years old. Maddison is looking for a home where he isn’t left alone much as he really doesn’t like being left, and also one willing to give him plenty of regular exercise.

Next it’s Archie, a Lurcher aged between 12-18 months old. He is a really happy chappie with a real zest for life, and he loves other dogs. We would recommend children over 5 years old due to his bounciness and clumsiness. He is looking for a home that can continue in his training and provide him with plenty of exercise.

Then there is Snoopy, a jack Russell cross fox terrier aged 5 years. She is timid but very loving – a sweet girl

who loves playing ball. She would suit a quiet home with someone who can be firm with her yet reassuring due to her getting very unsettled when meeting strangers.

Next is Toby, an 18-month-old patterdale type. He is full of fun and loves to play ball.

Toby is not good with all dogs but could live with a submissive female, he is not good with cats and children need to be over 10 years old. Toby is looking for an active home, he would love to do something like agility or flyball, keeping both is mind and body active.

Then there’s Sam, a 6 year old Belgium Shepherd. She is an extremely loving and loyal girl who loves to play and just be with you, She would make a super family dog as she loves children and will play for as long as they are willing to play with her. She can be a little timid in new situations but just needs a little reassurance. She is good with other dogs, ok with cats, but if being homed with a cat the cat would need to be dog savvy and better suited to a home with children over 5 years old.

Last but by no means least is the lovely Sherlock. he is a springer spaniel cross who is around 3 years old. He is so gentle and sweet natured – just a real poppet. Unfortunately Sherlock is epileptic and needs medication daily, he is looking for a home where he will be rarely left and a family who is willing to understand his condition and be confident to deal with it.

We are solely run by volunteers who we value greatly.

Our dogs are kept in foster homes in order to best get them ready for their new forever homes. We really need more suitable foster homes and anyone who would be interested in finding out more can email us at help@waifsandstraysdogrescue.co.uk We have one of our two family fundays and dog shows soon approaching on the 23rd of May at the Martello fields in seaford. It’s a great day out for all the family, with an array of different stalls, funfair and not to mention the dog show to keep the whole family entertained.

Ladybird, Ladybird Fly Away Home?

Last weekend my husband and I spent a long overdue day tidying the garden. During our labours I became intrigued by the number of ladybirds populating the leaves and bushes, which made me curious about the world of this mini beast.

Popular with children and adults alike, I wondered how much we actually know about them and thought I’d do a little research.

The ladybird is actually a member of the beetle family and its scientific name is Coccinellidae, meaning ‘little red sphere’. There are over 42 different species in the UK, the most common being the bright red variety that has seven spots and is thought to have given the insect its name: ‘Lady’ referring to the Virgin Mary (Our Lady) who in early paintings is seen wearing a red cloak, and the seven spots being symbolic of the seven joys and seven sorrows of Mary.

The ladybird starts life as a tiny, shiny, yellow egg, laid in a cluster on a leaf from late spring into summer. Each egg hatches to release a small, black, 6-legged larva, which eats greedily and increases in size by shedding its skin three times in its lifetime. The full-grown larva eventually attaches itself to a leaf and forms a pupa, from which the adult beetle emerges 1-2 weeks later.

Beetles and larvae feed through the summer and ladybirds that hatch early will produce a new generation of beetles during mid to late summer. During its short life span, a ladybird will lay around one thousand eggs. When the colder weather comes it looks for somewhere warm to hibernate for the winter, where it may stay for up to nine months. Very few will survive

to hibernate a second winter – one year is the common life span of a ladybird. They emerge from hibernation in late March to April, to feed and mate, and begin the process all over again!

Ladybirds have brightly coloured wings which beat about 85 times per second while flying. The wings are also used to warn off predators. In times of danger, ladybirds are able to roll over and play dead. They secrete a foul tasting fluid from the joints in their legs that prevents their enemies from finishing them off!

Ladybirds are a gardener’s friend and should be made welcome as they are one of the best deterrents against garden pests. They eat aphids (tiny soft-bodied insects) that destroy foliage and plants such as roses and tomatoes, their particular favourite being greenfly.

They also eat small caterpillars, mealy bugs, mites and even some scale insects. A ladybird will consume around 5,000 aphids during its lifetime.

Ladybird, ladybird, don’t fly away home. Stay close by and keep looking after our gardens for us!

INNER WHEEL CLUB OF SEAFORD

HILL HOUSE

BED & BREAKFAST

March was a busy month in Inner Wheel. Phew! We had two fund-raising events and an Inter-Club Skittles fixture.

Bridge Drive

At a Bridge Drive at the St Thomas More Church Hall there was a very amiable atmosphere, as can be seen from the photographs. The bridge players competed in a sporting manner and the first rate tea given by members of our catering group contributed to the friendly spirit. The net result was over ÂŁ500.

Seaford Inner Wheel thanks all the competitors for supporting Inner Wheel charities.

International Spud & Pud Lunch

At a truly friendly occasion there was a great attendance by friends and family who enjoyed a superbly prepared and cooked lunch.

As usual, a fine array of raffle prizes were won. ÂŁ300 was raised for the very worthy charity, Water Aid.

Skittles Competition

The first fixture of the District Competition was held at Barcombe. As can be seen from the smiling faces there was a friendly feeling between Hove and Seaford Inner Wheel Clubs, however, Seaford surprised themselves in winning by a narrow margin.

Who Kneads Politicians?

S. J. Hampton

by Julian O’Vegetables

I’m writing this in early April with the general election just four weeks away. I’m getting the right hump with politics and politicians, so I’m doing a recipe for May that will give us voters a chance to let off a little steam. It’s called ‘Rustic Savoury Bread’. When you knead the dough, just imagine it is a politician of your choice.

Ingredients

250g strong white bread flour; 1 tsp fast-action dried yeast; 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling; 200ml sparkling water; finely chopped rosemary and Maldon salt for sprinkling; some finely chopped red, green and yellow peppers, 1 small onion, finely chopped; 2 red and 2 green chillies, seeds removed, finely chopped; chopped garlic; salt. Add any other things you fancy. Sun-dried tomatoes work well.

Method

Fry the veg, chilli and garlic in a little olive oil until soft.

Press on a sieve to remove any excess liquid and leave to cool. Mix together the flour, yeast and ½ tsp salt. Add the oil, then pour in the water gradually, adding enough to make a soft dough. Then, from left to right, mangle Miliband, clout Clegg, clobber Cameron or flatten Farage on a lightly floured surface for 4-5 mins. When your politician is bouncy and has a silky feel, gradually knead in the vegetables, ensuring they are mixed evenly. Divide the dough into 8 pieces, then roll out into rough rounds about 16cms in diameter. Lay the breads on sheets of baking parchment and let them sit for 5 mins, then scatter with the rosemary, salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 220ºC in batches for 8-10 mins until puffy and golden.

The breads make an ideal accompaniment to a soup for a light lunch. Or for a starter course, cut into strips and serve with a dip of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN AND SEAFORD LIONS CLUB We are beginning to get more active now that spring is approaching. It is about time the weather gets a bit warmer and this should encourage us a bit more. So what have we been doing?

We started the month with a fun event for people with a disability. This took the form of It’s a Knockout at Longhill School, and was a Zone event. We had eight teams who took part in various games and generally enjoyed themselves with a lunchtime disco. Each participant got a medal at the end of the day, presented by the mayor of Brighton.

Our main money raisers this month have been our Easter Egg raffle in the pubs. If you have visited the Plough and Harrow, Smugglers, Bell’s Club or been to Sainsbury’s you have probably seen us. I hope you bought a ticket. Thank you to the pubs for their support. The raffle this time is in aid of Coastwatch. These are the volunteers who sit up in the old coastguard tower on the cliffs at Newhaven watching out for problems along the coast. They need

the money to buy equipment for this surveillance.

We also had another Book Sale at Paradise Park. Thank you Paradise Park. £500 has been presented to Kempton House in Peacehaven to help with the running of the Old People’s Club there (see photo), £250 to Seaford in Harmony and the remaining £250 to the Peacehaven Guides for their adventure day. We have also had two social events – firstly a Scalextric evening with the rest of the Zone and our dinner meeting, this month at the Flying Fish, Denton.

We had a very nice meal there, thank you. Our next big fund-raising event will be our Half Marathon on June 7th.

Visit our website to get your entry in.

The Club meets at 8pm on the fourth Thursday of each month at the White Lion Hotel, Seaford. If you are interested in the Lions and the work we do give us a call on 0845 833 5981 or visit www.npslions.co.uk We continue to drive our minibuses for various clubs we drive about ten outings each month though the buses are out a lot more than that. We also have two minibuses for use by the community and take out various groups with or without a driver, ie if you want to provide your own driver you can do so (subject to insurance). Call 01323 898961 for more information about the minibuses.

Unfortunately though, due to unreported damage to one of the buses, we may have to restrict their usage.

Schools’ pilot scheme takes off A schools presentation has been launched to educate youngsters about life-saving charity Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance.

Primary and secondary pupils can learn about how the helicopter is called out, types of missions, landing sites and major developments of the service such as night flying and blood transfusions. They can also hear about where the charity’s income comes from and how just £1 will buy a sheet of bubblewrap which is used to keep patients warm.

Air Ambulance Community Fundraising Officer, Veronica Wiseman, said: “Fundraising for the air ambulance at school is an exciting opportunity for children of all ages, promoting community involvement and social responsibility. “The fundraising pack provides a fascinating study subject for pupils, learning about the infrastructure of the charity from the operational side and the way in which fundraising can have a huge impact on saving lives.”

96

The pack includes activity sheets, a Wordsearch and colouring-in sheets for infants featuring Air Ambulance mascot, Dr Dudley. Pupils may also get the chance to see a working replica of the twin-engine air ambulance helicopter which flies at speeds of up to 150mph.

The schools presentation was launched at Woodmansterne School in Surrey which has so far raised more than £1,000 for the charity after the helicopter was called to one of its pupils. School spokeswoman Sarita Grimster, said: “A very interesting and informative presentation was given which helped the pupils understand what the funds they have been raising will help towards.”

If you would like to register your school to receive a schools support pack, please contact the air ambulance’s Community Team on 01622 833833 or email veronicaw@kssairambulance.org.uk. For more information about the school presentation please visit http://www.kssairambulance.org.uk/involved/atschool Support materials can be downloaded by clicking on the relevant Key Stage required, with useful documents such as Booking Form for assemblies, a Student Sponsorship Form and a Monies Return Form.

Easter MOnday Races at Lewes The Lewes Races held on Easter Monday were enjoyed by both the adult and junior members of the Seaford Striders, reflecting the club’s membership.

The races varied from an 800m trot for the toddlers, a 1-mile junior and a 2-mile event. For those over 15 years of age there was the popular 10K, which this year attracted nearly 700 entrants. The Striders had a good turnout of 17 runners of all ages, making this a truly family affair.

Whilst the shorter races are mainly confined to the track and school grounds, the multi-terrain 10K starts at Lewes running track, before heading south to Iford, and back over a variety of paths, tracks and open fields. The sun shone and its heat caught out a few slightly overdressed competitors.

The race was won by James Baker (Chichester Runners) in 34.22, going well under 6 mins per mile and Emma Rollings (Lewes AC) was the first female over the line in 40.27.

First across the line for the Striders was the ever reliable Simon Fletcher in 19th place overall and clocking a time of 39.32. Josh Rudd headed home in 40.30, Scott Hitchcock 44.41, Peter Weeks 47.38 and Chris Wrathall 49.59, who hopefully will be pleased to have sneaked in under the 50-min slot!

Others who dug deep were Christian Morton 50.51, Rob Webber 52.58 and Hilary Humphreys 56.49.

Claire Keith in her first race since her new addition should be pleased with 58.29. Bob Ward 59.17 and Tom Roper 1:04.53 completed the Striders results for the day.

N.B. These times were declared unofficial by the Lewes AC at the time of going to print.

New campaign asks Seaford residents to put their Hands Up to help Chestnut Tree Chestnut Tree, the children’s hospice service for Seaford has launched a new campaign that aims to double the number of children it cares for in East Sussex, and is asking local people to put their Hands Up if they can help.

The charity cares for 300 children with life-shortening conditions and their families, including 55 in East Sussex.

The hospice building near Worthing was built 12 years ago and has 10 beds, providing specialist short breaks, emergency care, step down from hospital and end of life care. In addition, their Community Team cares for families in their own homes in East Sussex, West Sussex and South East Hampshire.

Guests at a recent luncheon held at Deans Place in Alfriston to help launch the Hands Up! campaign, including Cllr Mark Brown, Mayor of Seaford, heard how the charity makes a real difference to local families. Marie

Baker, whose daughter Aimee is cared for by Chestnut Tree, told guests about the invaluable service which allows Aimee to enjoy a break in a safe environment and allows Marie to spend quality time with her eldest child.

Chestnut Tree knows that there are more children and families in East Sussex who could be benefitting from this ‘invaluable’ service, but they need help to reach them.

Karen Brailey, Community Nurse Manager at the hospice explains: “People assume that we are a West Sussex charity, but we work with families across the whole of East and West Sussex. We need to change this perception and let people know that we can offer care for children with life-shortening conditions and their families right here in Seaford.

“It costs well over £3 million pounds every year to offer all of our care services, and as we reach more children this figure will increase. We receive less than 8% of our funding from central government so we rely on the generosity of the local community to keep our doors open. We’re not asking people to put their hands in their pockets today, we’re asking them to put their hands in the air and say ‘Yes I’ll help.’ That might mean getting your company involved, holding a fundraising event, volunteering, spreading the word or taking part in one of our sponsored challenges. Whatever your skills and passions, we are sure we have the perfect opportunity for you to get involved, so we would love to hear from you.”

Anybody who would like to put their Hands Up and pledge their support to Chestnut Tree can find out more at Chestnut-Tree-House.org.uk/handsup, can ring on 01323 725095 or email handsup@chestnut-treehouse.org.uk. Any family who thinks they may be eligible to receive support from Chestnut Tree and would like to find out more can also visit the website or call the care team on 01903 871800.

Running Commentary...

My congratulations to any Seaford Scene reader who ran the London or Brighton Marathon last month. To run 26.2 miles is a pinnacle of achievement, regardless of the time it took to complete. However, to fully appreciate what a marathon is, it’s best to run more than just one.

In addition to doing a big city marathon I’d recommend tackling a quiet rural one like the Weald Marathon, a hilly, rugged one like Snowdon and a self-navigated one like the Fairlands Valley Challenge in Stevenage. Such variety would give a better understanding of marathons. And did anyone feel mad enough to do both Brighton and London? If you did, it may be wise to have a quiet spell for at least a few weeks before resuming your quest for more challenges.

In my first Running Commentary article nearly five years ago I mentioned the possible confusion of being thought of as either a runner or a jogger. With so many more people now taking up running I think that it would help to reiterate the difference or lack of it, between the two words – whether you consider yourself a runner or jogger depends not on your speed relative to other runners but how fast you are running within your own

range of speeds. For instance, if Usain Bolt were to record a time of 10.9 seconds for 100 metres he would probably look on it as jogging.

Consequently, I prefer to use the term ‘runner’ to describe anyone who enjoys our athletic pastime.

And if that pastime involves entering races, then May is certainly a good month because the Sussex Races website has details of 27 events to choose from. My pick of the bunch would be the Triple – that’s the East Grinstead 10 miles, Haywards Heath 10 miles and the Burgess Hill 10km on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th May just to get the month off to a good start.

I’d then enter the Hastings 5 miles which is flat and fast, the Horsham 10km, a superb two lap race, and the Rye 10 miler (fairly tough), and then wrap up the month with the Petworth Park Discovery Run. Had I still been running marathons, I would have found time to squeeze in the Arun Marathon. Of these events, if I had to reduce my choice, it would have to be to run just the ‘Triple’, because combined, they offer everything that makes running such an enjoyable pastime.

If the winter months are seen as the time when runners toughen up and sharpen their talent for stubbornness, then the months ahead are the ideal time to increase your speed and refresh your running by following your spirit of adventure. Exploring new footpaths and bridleways, catching the train to Brighton and then running home or driving to Polegate and running up the Cuckoo Trail for an hour or so before turning and cruising back to your car, are just a few options open to runners who feel the urge to run new interesting routes. If you want to run throughout the year, it is very important to vary the type of running that you do as this helps to prevent the mind and legs from becoming dull and bored.

Using the changing seasons to prompt those changes is a convenient and effective framework.

By the way, I hope you spotted the athletic (or should that be pathetic) April fool ruse in last month’s article. The Noh Taram long distance event in Polynesia was clearly a back-to-front hoax, as were the few other strange words in that same paragraph.

Seaford Town Wasps Merger – Welcome News for Brothers The recently announced merger of Seaford WASPS and Seaford town junior teams has come as welcome news for one family in particular. Dad Andy Stiles said, ‘My 7 year old (Farrall) is a WASPS player and Evan, my 12 year old, is a Seaford Town FC player. Evan started playing for the Town but STFC didn’t have an under-7 side when Farrall, my youngest wanted to play, so he joined WASPS. The boys are delighted because now both will play for STFC’.

The County FA announce this week that both WASPS and Seaford Youth had been granted renewal of their Charter Standard accreditation. The FA Charter Standard accreditation is awarded to clubs rigorously adjudged to be well run and sustainable – and which prioritise child protection, quality coaching and implementation of the Respect programme. The County FA wished the club every success in their new venture, adding they are supporting the club moving forward and settling into the new structure.

SEAFORD CHORAL SOCIETY

A Very Enjoyable Good Friday Concert – Faure’s Requiem

Seaford Choral Society’s ranks were swelled by nearly 30 local enthusiastic singers who joined all sections of the choir to perform the beautiful Faure Requiem in St Leonard’s Church on Friday 3rd April. A large, appreciative audience enjoyed a moving performance of this muchloved piece, which was dedicated to the memory of the late John Underhill, former Conductor of the Choral Society. It was he who instigated the now annual Almost Instant concerts each Easter, made more poignant by the fact that this piece was a particular favourite of his. The

Choir was joined by two fine soloists in the Requiem, Rebecca Anstey and Michael Bunting. The concert ended with the Choir singing the JS Bach motet ‘Jesu, meine Fruede’, as their special tribute to John. The Reverend Colin Pritchard officiated and John Howe very ably accompanied the Choir at the organ.

As is customary at this concert, proceeds are donated to a local Seaford charity, and this year’s proceeds and collection we be passed on to the Seaford Carers Support Group. The total sum will be announced shortly.

On behalf of the Alzheimer’s Society, the Choir would like to thank all those who donated so generously to this very worthwhile cause.

Tickets are now on sale from Newberry Tully Estate Agents in Church Street, Seaford for our Spring Concert on Saturday 2nd May when we shall be dinging Franz Joseph Haydn’s The Creation, in St Leonard’s Church.

Don Mabey Room Declared at Seaford Head Golf Clubhouse!

The Don Mabey Room was formally opened on Thursday 5th March within the new clubhouse at Seaford Head Golf Club.

Don Mabey MBE was Freeman of the Town and known to many for all the work he did in and around the town and its organisations. Don was President of Seaford Head Golf Club, sadly passing away in December 2013 before the new building was completed. Seaford Town Council decided to dedicate a room within the new clubhouse in Don’s memory.

The committee room is therefore now titled The Don Mabey Room.

Approximately 80 guests attended the event hosted by Maeve Mabey. Speeches were given by family members and the Golf Club’s current President, Alan Miller. Oliver Stanyard, Business Manager of the new clubhouse, presented Maeve with a plaque and Seaford Head Golf Club presented a picture. In return Maeve presented the club with a beautiful bench, which will sit proudly at the club in memory of such a remarkable man!

Maeve said ‘The event for Don was a real success, the buffet itself was first class and the atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming. She wanted to thank all that came to the function and the staff that worked hard to make the event such a success.
