Cycle Seahaven Even though the nights have drawn in and the weather has changed, Cycle Seahaven continues to get out and ride. This month I am highlighting a couple of our regular rides.

We have recently thought it was time to re-establish the Sunday morning beginners rides, where new or more cautious riders can try out and develop some very basic off-roading skills and build confidence.

The rides begin at 08.30am at the White Lion in Seaford on Sunday mornings. These rides take up to a couple of gentle hours – and that mostly includes a coffee stop!

We’ll mix up twittens with some simple off-road trails and quiet roads around Seaford.

These rides are easy enough to adapt the routes over time to cater for all riders and those looking to extend their abilities and fitness. There will normally be at least 2 ride leaders in the group, so it will also be possible to separate by ability (and finish the ride together) as we extend the range and scope of our rides; but that will be for later in the year as riders naturally progress (for most riders it happens very quickly). We can help with stuff like braking, ‘ready position’, bike safety and maintenance, what to wear and the other things you’d expect to learn from your local club.

The Monday daytime rides have settled into an easy format, starting at 11am, cycling till about 1pm with a stop for lunch and then a return, always by a different route. They have attracted a small but dedicated group of riders and revealed many very interesting cafés and pubs.

One of the key elements of the rides is that they seek to use bridleways, byways and quiet country roads, with as much off-road as possible, sometimes over 50% of the route. Most of the bridleways and byways would have been in existence from the time of the enclosures, if not earlier, and were the usual means for farmers and

4

labourers to access fields and villages.

They are very irregular in direction and, when converted into roads, give rise to the famous “rolling English roads”. Those that were not made into roads, remain as byways, bridleways and footpaths. Part of our vision is to seek out and use these routes so that they do not disappear through neglect. There are many of these on the South Downs, giving access to wide open vistas and bracing fresh air.

Down in the low Weald, they are more secluded, treelined and calm, with dappled sunlight peeking through the branches. The Downland paths are usually firm, sometimes stony, with gentle rises or very steep hills.

Those in the lowlands are flat or have gentle slopes and in places suffer from deep puddles or stretches of cloying mud.

All this, we take in our stride as it adds to the variety of experience on our Monday rides, including hosing down the bikes at the end. One thing is certain, bikes with knobbly tyres are essential.

These are just a taste of the rides we run. There are usually rides every day, and on Sundays there are three or four. There are varieties of road and off road rides that cater for all riders. Rides can be found on our ride calendar http://cycleseahaven.org.uk/calendar/ Once again membership is £5 a year and you can join via the website and by popping into Mr Cycles, Seaford.

Great value for money!

Come and enjoy a spot of Winter

Turner though to the Impressionists Monet and Pissarro.

In other words, winter in all its guises.

The art historian Kay Blackburn will be giving a special lecture just before Christmas, with the very appropriate title of ‘Winter Wonderland – winter scenes in art’.

She will be celebrating winter in various ways, from 15th-century works through to the 20th century.

There will be some wellknown English, French and Netherlandish artists, together with some lesser known painters from Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Finland – and one particular familiar work by the Scottish painter Sir Henry Raeburn of a skating clergyman.

Kay’s selection of paintings will range from Breugel and

She says that some artists managed to infuse their winter scenes with a sense of peace and tranquillity, while others chose the wilder and more terrifying aspects of winter weather.

The talk will be at St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford, but is open to everyone. It is on Tuesday, December 6th, and it is hoped that among the audience will be the Mayor of Seaford, and also the district councillor Carolyn Lambert.

All this is in a very good, local cause, in aid of the Seahaven Storehouse, which has been set up to give food to people who find themselves in a crisis situation.

That is based in Vale Road, Seaford, and has the catchy appeal: ‘Where just “Two-Cans” can make all the difference’. The idea is for people to donate two cans of food. Admission will be £7, which includes tea and cakes. The subject may be winter, but rest assured the heating will be on!

The Wilderness Project: ReWilding at Seaford Allotments Since September 2014 a small team of volunteers at Seaford Allotments continues to work hard, developing a neglected area into a Biodiverse Corridor along the allotment boundary. The steep, 30-degree slope over chalky soil had become a wasteland, infested with sycamores and unmanageable brambles. Resident neighbours complained to the local council, but nothing was done.

Chairman Eddie Collict met with disgruntled residents, and

together with plot holder Carol Whitehead (a professional garden designer), hatched a plan to deal with the problem.

Carol surveyed the site and prepared a feasibility plan.

Liz Davies researched funding, and in August 2015 we were granted a Big Lottery fund to start the major clearing work. Seaford Town Council also donated funds to update the site port-a-loo to a new disabled compost toilet.

Carol organised the major clearing and levelling with professional landscape teams last winter. Volunteers planted a native hedge along the boundary. In future years, the hedge will be used as a skills practice training site by South of England hedge Laying Society, who always need practice areas to teach their traditional stock proof hedge laying style, so all parties benefit.

A micro orchard was planted and a wild flower meadow was sown in front of the hedge attracting insects back into this once neglected area, We have recently given the meadow its annual cut with a traditional scythe.

Volunteers have made bug hotels, a living willow enclosure and a nectar-rich dye garden around a pond, Our stylish disabled compost toilet works by dry separation method, keeping the toilet odourless and off grid! Rain water collection stations have been constructed in other difficult areas of allotment ground, The core team of volunteers known as ‘ The Wild Bunch’ continues to transform this area into a thriving ecological area: ReWilding at its best!

Wildlife has flocked to the Wilderness and has had a wonderful knock on effect for our vegetable and fruit pollination. This ReWilded space has a new dynamic lease of life, designed and created over hundreds of labour hours, encouraging nature and plot holders to thrive in this corner of Seaford.

HARMONY IN SEAFORd

The Birth of a Music App When local choir leader Jane Reeves met her former BIMM (British & Irish Modern Music Institute) teacher Mark Flannery for a coffee and a catch up – little did she know what was about to unfold.

“Mark showed me this music software he’d developed for BIMM students. I realized straight away it could work for choirs. But it was way too techy – like something you’d find in a recording studio. So together we reworked it and made it a lot simpler.” The result was a new app called ChoirPlayer.

The app allows the user to hear the 4 choir parts and the backing track separately or in any combination. According to Jane, ChoirPlayer makes her job as a choir leader a lot easier. “I was having to make separate CDs for all 4 Choir Parts. Now they just have to download the songs. But it’s the singers that really benefit. For the first time they can learn their part while hearing all the other parts. And it’s fantastic for rehearsals. We can jump to any part of the song without messing around cueing up a CD.” And during ChoirPlayer’s development Jane turned to her Archway Choirs in Seaford and Eastbourne for a focus group. “My lovely choristers were so supportive and enthusiastic. We stuck a prototype in their hands with very little guidance and filmed what they did with it.”

The research resulted in a wealth of innovative features such as isolating song sections and looping them so they repeat over and over. The music can also be slowed right down without any change in pitch so the more difficult sections can be perfected.

Creating an app is some challenge, but making content is also a big ask. ChoirPlayer was released with 30 tracks and recording continues at a rate of 5 songs a week.

The aim is to have a Library of 100 tracks by the New Year. And to get the job done, Jane turned once again to her Archway Choir. “My singers have been magnificent.” says Jane. And with the help of colleague Emma Bell, the

production line is in full swing at Archway Studios, Seaford. Jane laughs “Now I know what it must have been like at Motown back in the day.”

Another aim is to build events around ChoirPlayer and once again Seaford will be the starting point. “We will be doing something at Seaford Christmas Magic on Saturday 3rd December. We want people to download the ChoirPlayer app (which is free) and then buy the Christmas Events Collection. It’s available in the AppStore and Google’s PlayStore. Be sure to search using ChoirPlayer (all one word).You need to learn the part – Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass – that best suits your vocal range. Then turn up at 3.45pm at the Main Stage on Broad St. and we’ll all enjoy the wonderful experience of harmony singing.

The Seaford People’s Choir no less!”

Proceeds from downloads of The Christmas Events Collection will go to Alzheimer’s – ChoirPlayer’s adopted charity. Drawing on her experience as musical director for the National Stroke Association Choir, Jane believes that ChoirPlayer can play a part. “There is increasing evidence that singing has a significant therapeutic value for Alzheimer’s sufferers.

We are in discussion with the Society about the role ChoirPlayer could perform in their Singing For The Brain programme. So please come along and be part of this – it’s a very worthwhile cause and you’ll have a great time.”

Ms Reeves is lady with a mission and has high hopes for an app that was born in Seaford. “The journey began right here, but now we have to take ChoirPlayer out into the big wide world,” says Jane smiling. “London, New York, Tokyo, Seaford – how’s that for a strap line?”

SEAFORD FAIRTRADE GROUP

Art Show & art sale Open day

This November we are supporting a new project. Koalako is a Paris-based Theatre company which specialises in introducing the English language in a fun and interactive way to French children of primary school age. Koalako will give a performance in The Little Theatre, Steyne Road, Seaford of “Charlie and the Water Queen”.

The Downs 60 + Club Sat 26th November 10.30am to 4pm

The difference here is that this show is designed to introduce French to young English children. No knowledge of French is required and you can see examples of Koalako’s work on their website www. koalako.fr or on their Facebook page.

Come along and view a wide selection of interesting paintings produced by club members. All at reasonable prices.

Grand tombola and book sale.

Seaford Fairtrade Group will be promoting the show, selling tickets and providing Fair Trade Refreshments. After the show there will be an opportunity to talk to the cast and members of our group.

Enjoy some light refreshments and take a look around to see what this popular activities and social club offers.

“Charlie and the Water Queen” is a show (approx. 1 hr) which tells how in Charlie’s small community, water has drastically disappeared. Charlie is determined to investigate the old well in her garden, but accidentally falls inside and begins a crazy journey controlled by a rich, bossy Water Queen … who has no sense of humour!

The club is in the old flint building in Wave Leisure Centre car park

The show has a serious message about the many communities in Developing Countries where Climate Change is already impacting on rainfall and water supplies.

Fair Trade Organizations are helping these communities to overcome water supply issues and adapt their farming techniques to enable them to cope with change.

PRESENT

This show is not just entertaining, but we hope it is a fascinating insight into a different language and an informative approach to issues which will affect our children’s future. vFor further information on the Seaford Fairtrade Group, please visit our website: www.seaford-sussex.co.uk/fairtrade and our Facebook page.

Film nights for Autumn

As we head into winter and the nights draw in, there’s still plenty to entice you out to your local cinema.

As well as the opportunity to have a drink at the bar and mingle with friends and neighbours, we’ve got three diverse films to appeal to a range of tastes.

With a stella cast, including Micahel Caine and Harvey Keitel, Youth (Fri 4th) is a comedy drama about two friends reflecting on their past. One attempts to finish the screenplay for his final film while the other has no intention of resuming his previously successful musical career.

Our matinée this month is the inspiring true story of Florence Foster Jenkins (Sat 5th), played by Meryl Streep alongside Hugh Grant.

The wealthy New York heiress attempts to become an opera singer despite her terrible voice. A comedy full of warmth and pathos.

And to round off the month we have the thought provoking El Club (Fri 25th), set in a secluded Chilean village where four Catholic priests try to redeem themselves of past sins.

Seaford Striders Mince Pie 10-mile RACE Sunday 4th December 2016 As the heat wave weather finally starts to cool, the Seaford Striders have commenced planning their annual charity race and are delighted to announce that entries have already started pouring in for their ever popular “Mince Pie” 10 mile multi terrain race, which will be held on Sunday, 4th December 2016. The race will commence at 11am, and start and finish at the Peacehaven Leisure Centre.

This race is quite expensive to hold, and the club is indebted to local Estate Agents, David Jordan for their sponsorship and continued support. David has participated in this race before and has stated his intention to do so again.

The objective of this event is to raise funds for local charities and the club itself. This year’s chosen charity is “Sussex Search & Rescue” (SusSAR) a primary volunteer resource used by Sussex Police, to search for vulnerable

S. J. Hampton

missing people e.g. the elderly, dementia sufferers, children or anyone else deemed to be at risk.

The team can be called out at any time and are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, whatever the weather. The team is professionally trained, qualified to high standards and is a vital volunteer resource to Sussex Police. The 100% volunteer organisation relies on charitable donations and the goodwill of its members, who freely give their time and expect nothing in return, except the satisfaction of a job well done. Go to: www.sussar.org for further details about this organisation.

The Mince Pie 10 has been voted one of the UK’s top ten races in Runner’s World Magazine. This multi-terrain event is contested over a challenging 10 mile course and sees many entrants returning year after year for a bracing pre-Christmas work-out. This well-established race, for all abilities aged 17 and over, is a mixture of 4 on- and 6 off-road miles. The course features beautiful countryside scenery, in the area around Telscombe and Saltdean, over a varied undulating course. With an entrant’s limit of just 500, the race is frequently a sellout, and early registration is therefore recommended.

Top quality race photographers Sussex Sport Photography will be on hand to capture runners, not only aiming for a fast time but also those wanting a fun run, with the emphasis on end of season enjoyment, where fancy dress is welcome. Enthusiastic marshals are guaranteed and there are plentiful water stations along the route. A medal, goody bag and of course a mince pie await all finishers, as well as spot prizes and a raffle.

If you would like to enter this race then registration is available online at: https://www.runbritain.com/entries/ EnterRace.aspx?evid=7fba06cf5f6f&erid=7dbb0fce5f76 Further details about the race are also available from the Seaford Striders website: www.seafordstriders.org.uk/ Newsite/Mince-Pie-ten-mile/ Photo: members of SusSAR embarking on a search and rescue mission.

Cheque out our Community Support Idea Supporting good causes and community groups in Seaford and Bishopstone is a big part of what we’re passionate about at Newberry Tully.

As Stephen put it in last month’s Seaford Scene, ‘the great thing about our town is that it isn’t just a collection of houses – it’s a real community with lots of stuff going on.’ And that’s why we like to do our bit to help.

The full list (and it’s a pretty long one) of local groups we support is included in our monthly newsletters and featured in our office. They include the Seaford Striders, Cycle Seahaven, Seaford Choral Society, Seaford Music Society and the Crouch Bowling Club to name but a handful.

We’re always looking for new ways to extend our community support and to give a little more back to the town, which provides us with our living. So with that in mind we’ve created the Newberry Tully Community Cheque Book.

It’s a voucher style cheque book which can be picked up from our office. If you know of anyone who is thinking of selling or letting their property and who might benefit from our services, simply give them a voucher from the cheque book and ask them to call us.

Or with their permission ask us to call them.

Now for the really good bit. In the event of a successful sale we will give £100 to a good cause of their choice. Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you either – on completion of the sale and our way of saying ‘thanks very

Stephen Newberry

Andrew Tully

much’ we’ll present you with a £50 Marks and Spencer gift voucher.

It’s a real win, win for everyone!

Thanks for reading.

Andrew and Stephen PS: There are just two small terms and conditions: 1. Only one voucher per property 2. The voucher/community cheque must be submitted at the same time as the signed confirmation of agency instructions.

Other than those two tiny T & Cs it’s really simple.

SELL-IT-YOURSELF 0.5% The age of the local high street agency of selling your house for 1.5% commission is changing. Local agents now have to keep up with national, online-only estate agents.

We have now created SELL-IT-YOURSELF - a new concept mixing traditional estate agency with online agents.

People like the idea of saving money with online agents but are uncomfortable not having a high street office where they can meet the staff selling their home. They still want that local estate agent who knows the area and knows the property.

We will still negotiate all aspects of the sale ensuring you get the maximum price for your home.

SELL-IT-YOURSELF package includes :-

The post-sale service will remain exactly the same. We will verify the position of your buyer and progress the sale to conclusion on your behalf keeping you fully informed at all times.

WHY PAY MORE?

• Full colour property details with floor plan • Internet advertising (Rightmove, Zoopla) • Direct marketing to our database • Advertising In local newspapers • *FREE* Energy performance certificate

Sorry, Donald

by Julian O’Vegetables

This month’s recipe is provided by Steve and Juliet Anderson. They are the husband and wife team who are the proprietors of Olliver’s in Seaford, with Steve at front of house and Juliet as head chef. Local to Seaford for all of their lives, they take pride in using local produce from local suppliers.

Olliver’s menu is changed every month, and the eating experience evolves according to the seasons and, I expect, customer feedback. I have eaten there many times and have always enjoyed the food, served in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Posh nosh without the fuss!

One thing that has always struck me at Olliver’s and elsewhere is that fine food need not be too complex and a little imagination with just a few ingredients and good presentation can work wonders. Here’s one of my past favourites, a simple duck dish lifted by a delicious sauce.

Duck breasts with a ginger and rhubarb compote

Serves four Cook the duck breasts in the oven or in a pan to your liking, but try to produce a crispy skin with pink meat and the fat rendered off. When cooked, cut the duck breasts into thin slices, cutting at a shallow angle. Arrange the duck slices in a fan shape on each plate.

Ingredients for the compote: 1lb red

rhubarb sticks, cut into 2 inch lengths; thumb sized piece of ginger, grated; 2oz sugar; 2 tablespoons water; 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar; runny honey.

Method: Add the sugar and water to a pan to dissolve, turn up the heat to lightly caramelise the sugar.

Add the white wine vinegar. Add the ginger and rhubarb.

Lower the heat to simmer for about 30 minutes and thicken the liquid, stirring occasionally. If the compote is too tart, add a little runny honey to sweeten it.

Spoon the compote onto each plate next to the duck slices. Serve with vegetables of your choice. Enjoy!

The Corelli Ensemble The Corelli Ensemble invites you to join them for a gorgeous programme of music in a concert featuring two soloists. Oboist Owen Dennis, who wowed our audiences last season with his superb performance of Albinoni, returns to perform the breathtakingly beautiful oboe concerto by Bach in F major, and musical director, Maeve Jenkinson, will be the solo violinist in SaintSaens’ glittering Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso. The programme will also include Corelli’s Suite for Strings, plus heart-warming pieces by Sibelius and the outstanding British composer, Gerald Finzi, as part of the Corelli Ensemble’s “Festival of Finzi”.

The concert will last one hour with refreshments afterwards and an opportunity to meet the performers and other audience members.

We hope the CTLA will be providing transport to this event as part of their Travel Club.

Tickets can be pre-reserved at a special price of £10 by visiting our website corelliensemble.co.uk or purchased for £12 on the door. Children are free.

Come and share the enjoyment of live music making with the Corelli Ensemble!

Seaford Inner Wheel

Visit of Young Mayor to Inner Wheel

At our Club meeting on 13th September The Young Mayor, Jessica Bachelor, gave a very informative talk about her initiative to raise enough funds to place two defibrillators in the town for emergency use by trained professionals. She had surpassed her target already. At 15 years of age she impressed us with her communication skills and in-depth knowledge of her subject. In passing she mentioned that she was working with MP Maria Caulfield to draft a bill to allow defibrillators to be available in other towns. Andrea thanked her and presented a cheque for £50.

Inner Wheel at Euro-Meeting 2016 at Hastings At the end of September Val and Alan attended the Euro-Group meeting at Hastings. They were extremely delighted that Peter and Ann Fenwick and Pippa and Michael Logan came along to take part in some of the activities. On the Friday night they had the official reception with the Mayor of Hastings where Ann and Val met with Greet Declerck (member of I.W. Deinze Club, Belgium in the centre) and Ingrid Titusson (member of Jonkoping I.W. Club, Sweden on the left).

Visit to Inner Wheel Club of Battle As Joint International Organiser Pat Allen took the opportunity of attending Battle Club’s International lunch in aid of SHELTER BOX. On 1st October at 10.30am the joint International Officers (Pat and Julia) were holding an Autumn Fair at St Leonard’s Church Hall. Pat couldn’t believe her luck

38

to be able to hear and watch an in-depth presentation.

As you can see they know what’s in a Shelterbox, where they are shipped to and how the money is raised. David Hatcher was very pleased to know that Seaford Inner Wheel is doing their utmost to try and raise enough money for a complete Shelterbox.

Autumn Fair in aid of ‘ShelterBox’

Armed with all that they learned at Battle, the 1st October arrived and the team were fully prepared for the autumn fair in aid of ‘ShelterBox’. At 9am prompt on the 1st all the members positioned themselves for the opening of the doors. We had bric-abrac, jewellery and accessories, jigsaws and a library of books, mug tombola, children’s game, handmade crafts, nearly new clothing and a cake stall, raffle, tea/coffee and biscuits or scones. The doors were open from 10.30am until 12.30pm. At the time it was difficult to assess how successful the event had been, however we now know we raised £597.40.

Previously it had been decided that everything left over would be packed in Marilyn’s car and would appear again at the Rotary Car Boot Fair on Sunday 2nd October. So four of us got out of bed in the dark and readied ourselves for another sales morning, this time at the Boot Fair. Although a fine day it was a bit chilly at 7.30am. We re-arranged our ‘booty’ on two paste tables did our best. So £63.10 was added to the total.

YIPPEE, Seaford Inner Wheel had raised enough to buy one Shelterbox (which costs £580) with spare money for more Shelterbox equipment.

Go Help Mongolian Charity Rally Seaford Community Cinema chairman, Mairin Colleary, is showing pictures of a different sort following her epic trip from Brussels to Ulan Bator with best friend Kitty Hagenbach to raise money for the Go Help Mongolian Charity Rally. Mairin, who runs the Florence House meditation and conference centre, said: “I used to read about this rally and I thought that if I didn’t do it at 70 I never would. I spoke to rallying friends about it, then asked Kitty, who said yes.”

Kitty, a psychotherapist who lives near Forest Row, gulped down her fears about making a 13,700k journey on their own, with no backup, in a little white Toyota Hi Ace van they called Van Blanc, and agreed, “though my guts were saying something else.”

They had to organise their own very complex documentation, could not buy insurance in advance beyond Turkey, and had to map a route which took them through 17 countries via Turkey, the Caspian Sea, central Asia and the Silk Route to Mongolia.

Mairin said that sometimes, particularly in Mongolia, the roads were so bad that “we had to decide whether to straddle them, drive with one side in, or very slowly with both.”

It was a journey that required patience, innovation and much use of sign language, but as Kitty said, they met “the milk of human kindness, either camping for the night beside lorries in petrol stations or outside shops or houses. “We always knocked and asked permission and made the sign for sleeping,” said Mairin. “That way we got connected” – so connected in fact that she is still corresponding with a melon seller from Kyrgyzstan who was concerned about two women about to cross a 700k 5000m pass on their own. As they had politely refused the offer of a driver he wanted to pay for, they had to promise to email him to let him know they’d arrived safely.

40

However, there were testing times too. Like the 2am call from Mairin’s son Connor – who was using a tracker to keep a caring eye on his mum’s journey – which woke her in Istanbul. “We left the city the morning of the coup. We realised more than anything how blessed we are in Europe with our freedom. We drove on until we got to a hotel and parked very near it above a private beach where we swam before breakfast which we had in the hotel to say thank you.”

In Tbilisi, Georgia, a connection found them a fixer who got them into the port at Azerbaijan.

Said Kitty: “We met him at midnight, only hours before our van’s three-day transit visa expired. No one knew when the next ferry would go. It would go when it goes.

We waited three days, camping there in the port.”

Once across the Caspian into Turkmenistan the going got tougher. A young driver shunted their back end, which, after negotiations via a stick in the dust, resulted in $200 from him and four days panel beating in the ancient city of Bukhara where they absorbed its culture before driving on towards Mongolia.

“From Turkey on the driving had been really bad, with undertaking and driving the wrong way up the hard shoulder,” said Mairin. “We had one driving and one navigating at any one time because you really had to concentrate. We usually drove two hours on two hours off but sometimes we could only do one hour because the road was so glaring it hurt your eyes. On one 500km stretch in Mongolia we never got out of second gear for 100km and had to stop someone to check that the track really was the A road. We even had to drive through rivers. Slow and safe was our mantra.”

Despite staying within speed limits and having the

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

correct documentation they were stopped four times in Kazakstan. Said Kitty: “We just kept talking at them and never parted with cash. One time I was told to get in a police car. Mairin said ‘don’t get in.’ I just stood my ground. No way was I getting into a car with a running engine. He returned my documents, realising he was getting nowhere with us, and left to harass someone else.”

On arrival in Ulan Bator they donated Van Blanc and its contents to the charity, which was set up to develop literacy and crafts for the nomadic community via mobile libraries and community centres. Did the journey change them? Kitty observes: “We were two ladies on our own in a van but we put fear to one side and, facing each thing as it happened, we moved from living in fear to living in trust, a change that will affect me all my life.

It’s lovely that you know your own self. It’s an advantage on a journey to be older. We were such a novelty. In central Asia people were asking where our driver was.

Women were fascinated by us, giving us the thumbs up and kissing the top of their thumb and giving us a wave.

It was very touching to realise we were inspiring other

people.” And Mairin? “People were so kind, offering food and water, and we made connections, in sign language.

I was always the one wanting to rush on whereas Kitty would say slow down, look at the scenery, so I have learnt to wait and let things happen.”

Mairin and Kitty would like to share their experiences and have some great images of their trip. For more info email Mairin at mairincolleary@gmail.com Andrea Hargreaves Photos: Mairin, left, and Kitty on the finish line in Ulan Bator; Van Blanc had to deal with huge potholes and no discernible road surface in Mongolia.

SEAFORD COMMUNITY HUB OPEN DAY Health, Wealth and Wellbeing Show

On 17th November, 2016, Sussex Elderly Care are hosting an Open Day at the Clinton Centre.

Seaford has a wonderful community spirit, and in the interest of senior citizens it was decided to have an Open Day at the Clinton Centre from 1.30pm until 5pm. There will be a number of professionals present to answer queries on Health, Wealth and Wellbeing.

All residents from Seaford are welcome to this event, where they can enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee and get advice and information about legal, financial, homeopathy, massage, transport, lifeline, and how Social Services can be of assistance. Meet the Mayor and your local councillors and have a chat about benefits you may be entitled to, for example attendance allowance. Whether you need home help or companionship and you require information on how to organise this, Sussex Elderly Care will be there to advise and guide you in the right direction.

If you are a carer and would like to know more about our service, come along and see what we have to offer. If you are feeling a bit peckish, you can have a taster of Wiltshire Farm Foods, which I am told are delicious. If you or your loved ones need advice about companionship and care, we will provide you with the necessary information to help you to remain at home and get that special help, where carers go the extra mile to address your every need.

This is a Care and Share Day for the Seaford Community, and you are all most welcome to come and enjoy an afternoon where the information stands are manned with experts to answer your questions. There will be the opportunity for some to hear talks on Making a Will, Power of Attorney, Financial Advice and information from Wellbeing on how to keep safe at home. Abi will demonstrate the advantages of gentle massage, and Jenny will advise you on the importance of looking after your feet. CTLA will also be present to advise you about community transport.

The caring profession

Ever wondered what it’s like to work in a specialist dementia care home? The team at Clifden House in Claremont Road has given us a glimpse into their daily working lives and their views on what makes this career so rewarding. For current vacancies at Clifden House please see www.clifdenhouse.co.uk

Emma Griffiths Care Team Manager Describe your job...

Describe your job...

I plan activities and entertainment in the home and the community.

I proactively find out what the residents’ talents are. We have an arts exhibition planned for next year. I’m also talking to a local pub to see if they can host a quiz night using questions designed by one of our residents (an ex-quiz master!).

What do you enjoy most about your job?

A big part of my role is supporting the care team.

I also help residents with personal care, make care plan reviews, carry out administrative tasks, support the medical team and liaise with community mental health nurses.

I love my job. The residents are the best people. It’s instantly rewarding too – when you see the smiles on their faces. Dementia is a terrible disease, but there’s also a lot of life left in everyone. It’s rewarding to help build their confidence by enabling them to carry on doing the activities they enjoy.

Do you find your job satisfying?

What do you enjoy most about your job?

We take time to sit down with our residents and listen to them talk about their lives; sometimes we’re their only source of companionship. It’s lovely to be able to give something back.

Do you find your job satisfying?

If I can help a resident who is feeling confused or anxious, it’s the most rewarding feeling in the world. To know that you are able to make a real difference to someone, and put a smile back on their face, is so satisfying.

What do you like most about working for Clifden House?

We look after a diverse range of dementia sufferers so every day is different. There’s always lots going on and you’re kept on your toes.

Deena McCormack Activities coordinator

It can be a challenge, but humour is a massive part of this job. The residents love to laugh, and it’s my job to make them feel like they’re on holiday. When they ask me if they can stay another week, I know I’m doing a good job!

What do you like most about working for Clifden House?

Clifden House is very supportive of my ideas. Some ideas may sound unconventional at first, but they try to accommodate every niche.

The channels of communication are open to listen to what I’ve got to say.

Clifden House, Claremont Road, Seaford.

FRIENDS OF SEAFORD LIBRARY Seaford Scene readers will remember that last November the Friends of Seaford Library announced that the organisation was being dissolved. This was the decision of a motion passed at an Extraordinary General Meeting following the 2015 AGM, that with the construction of the new library, the need for which drove FOSL to be created in 2001, the organisation’s primary aim was fulfilled. Another factor was that a number of key Committee members now wished to stand down after many years service.

The final Committee meeting of FOSL was held on 21st September 2016, where the Committee approved the final statement of accounts, showing that after all closing expenses a figure of over £250 remained for a donation to the Library authorities for further equipment in the Study Space in the new building. The Committee, appropriately chaired by Jill Allen, who had been involved with FOSL in the beginning period when the campaign to replace the old Library was launched, also expressed its thanks to the final members of the

Committee for their work in the process of dissolution of FOSL in an orderly manner.

A formal set of the closing accounts and accompanying statement is being sent sent to all registered FOSL members. Certain records will then be donated to the East County Record Office at the Keep in Falmer for retention as a record of FOSL’s achievements.

The Committee of FOSL thanks all past and present members and supporters for all their help in furthering the aims of the organisation.

THE SEAHAVEN ROYAL SOCIETY OF ST GEORGE HELPS NEWHAVEN SCOUTS Steve Saunders, Vice President of the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George, along with Chairman Bob Peedle MBE, visited the Newhaven Scouts at their HQ in Fort Road, Newhaven, to give them a much needed folding table and two benches. With the number of members growing, the scouts needed more facilities for their training and appealed to RSSG for help. Steve said, “It is a privilege to help this Scout Troop, especially as a few years ago I was here as one of you. I know that you will make good use of this gift.”

The Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George prefers to use its spare money to buy useful gifts for local charities, associations and worthwhile local projects.

The money is raised through donations, proceeds of raffles or auctions at their monthly functions, or

attending boot fairs, such as the October Rotary fair in Seaford, where not only was £100 added to their funds, but where quite a few people asked about membership of the branch. For information about RSSG please contact the Chairman on 514928@talktalk.net or go to www.royalsocietyofstgeorge.com to learn about the Society worldwide.

What do Seaford, India, tigers, poaching, a new musical, Prince William and the Seven Sisters have in common?

They all feature in Patricia Martin’s novel

‘Global Gang and the Land of the Tiger’ Aimed at girls and boys aged 10-14, but also of interest to adults.

FROM INDIA TO THE SEVEN SISTERS ‘An amazing story’, Charlie, 10 ‘Thrilling and believable’, Ben, 13 ‘I learned a lot about India and tigers’, Megan, 12 ‘Good luck with your project’, HRH Prince William

Five young wildlife lovers from around the world – including Tamsin, 13, from Seaford – meet on an environmental website and set up a chat group dubbed ‘Global Gang’. But when they go on a tiger safari in India, disaster strikes. Lost in the jungle, they are in danger from tigers and poachers who hunt these magnificent animals. Back in Seaford, Tamsin’s arch enemy plots to grab the tiger role in the school’s new musical, ‘Wild Cats’, leading to a further twist in the tale.

‘It’s an unusual story which highlights the real threats to tigers, an endangered species’, says the author, who lives in Fairways Road.

Our meeting on 15th September turned out to be a little different from what we had anticipated. Our speaker from Great Dixter was unable to be with us so instead, the committee organised an imposed workshop, whereby everyone was given the same flowers, foliage and equipment and asked to be creative. The results were truly splendid, very varied and demonstrated the wealth of talent of the club members. As luck would have it, Great Dixter was featured in a television programme shortly after our meeting so we were all able to see what we had missed.

Looking further ahead, on the 20th April 2017 we celebrate our Diamond Anniversary and are holding an Open Meeting with a National Demonstrator at the Seaford Little Theatre. This promises to be a very special and entertaining afternoon and tickets will be on sale soon.

We meet on the third Thursday of each month (except January) at 2pm at the Baptist Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford BN25 2EE.Visitors are always very welcome at £5 on the door which includes refreshments. Contact Georgie Wall on 01323 490979 or Sue Ward on 01323 894848 for further details.

NEW BOOK BY SEAFORD POET Story Lines is a new collection of poems

by Peter Martin. With Ghost Music and Kindred Spaces it forms a trilogy of Sussex Downs and Coast poetry books featuring an area of East Sussex bounded by the Ouse valley to the west, the end of the South Downs to the east, the Low Weald to the north, with the sea providing the southern boundary and an inspiration for many of the poems.

The book is divided into seven sections, each section introduced by an image by Charlotte Matthews, a talented print-maker from Jevington. As the title of the

Christmas IDEAS

Seafordians have a love/hate relationship with Seaford’s often boisterous weather, and in 2013 and 2014 there was a series of severe storms that are commemorated in a group of poems. In 2015, as well as the regular seasons of shooting stars, there was a lunar eclipse coinciding with a super moon; there was also a comet and a blue moon. A short selection of poems and the front cover image (taken from a stained glass panel by Arthur E. Buss) are dedicated to these celestial events.

The remaining poems and stunning illustrations celebrate the emblematic landscapes of river valleys, rolling downland, sea-cliffs and seashore, and the endless variety of atmospheres, images, plants and animals that come and go with the seasons, times of day and the capriciousness of the weather. Whatever the focus, the poems go beyond the descriptive, and explore the impact that these aspects of nature and human stories have on our own inner landscape of emotions and imagination.

Table cloths, runners, tea towels and gifts.

A teaching career and a passion for natural history led Peter Martin to the RSPB as warden of a nature reserve and Education Officer for South East England. Later he became Head of Education for WWF UK, then Chief Officer of The South Downs Society. In 2006 he and his wife, also a writer, moved to Seaford – they own a beach hut where many of the poems were written.

Three of the recent poems were used as the basis of a piece of music commissioned and performed by the popular Corelli Ensemble, and others from Ghost Music used notably in concerts with the Seaford multiinstrumental duo, Joy Lewis and Derrick Hughes.

book suggests, some of the poems tell the stories of people and places where they lived; some elaborate or ‘fictionalise’ the facts within the bounds of possibility, while others take a distinctly fanciful approach to reality.

BATTLE OF BRITAIN DAY Thursday 15th September was Battle of Britain Day, and this was commemorated by the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George when 50 members and guests gathered at the Seaford (Blatchington) Golf Club for a formal dinner. Among the guests were the Chair of Lewes District Council, Cllr Nigel Enever, and the Mayors of Newhaven and Peacehaven. The RAF element was proved by Flight Sergeant Nick Collins, an Adult Instructor from the Air Training Corps Squadron at Newhaven and two senior Cadet NCOs, Flight Sergeant Luke Williams and Sergeant Lewis Read. A summary of the day in 1940 was read out by Nick Collins to remind everyone of the sacrifices and triumph of the Few, and the toast was then given to the RAF and the Few. Cheques were presented to two forces charities – the surplus money from this year’s Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces Day which is organised by a joint committee consisting of the Seahaven Branch and Seaford Town Council for the whole of the District of Lewes with surrounding towns and villages. President Laurie Holland gave cheques for more then £400 each to Iris Pearce from SSAFA and to Julie Jupp from the Royal British Legion.

MARTELLO ROTARY

Seaford Striders and Cycle Seahaven

In September the Club had visits from representatives of Seaford Striders and Cycle Seahaven, as both organisations had helped us with our Triple Challenge event back in June, raising money for The British Heart Foundation.

Martin Bulger from the Striders told us that they formed in 1986 and had grown to current levels with a strong membership. He started running in 1977 when he put on a pair of plimsoles (no trainers in those days!) and went for a run along the seafront, and following this he formed a cross country running club at Seaford Head school where he taught. He then started running marathons and this led to the formation of Seaford Striders. He recounted how he had got slightly lost on on one “Ultra Marathon” in the Salisbury area but a farmer had helped him get back on the right track! A very entertaining talk which was well received by all present.

CHILDREN’S EVENT RECEIVES A BOOST!

The hosts of fun afternoons for children who have suffered trauma, illness or bereavement received a boost when £600 was handed over by participants of the NCS (National Citizen Service) summer programme in the Lewes area.

The teenage teams raised the funds through planning and holding events showcasing local talent at the Barn Theatre, Seaford.

The Director of SMTJ, who hold the ‘Just Because’ parties, Paula Woolven, praised the efforts of the young people and thanked them for their support. The next fun afternoon will be held in November 2016.

NCS is a British voluntary personal and social development programme for 16- and 17-year-olds in England and Northern Ireland. Further details about the scheme can be found at: http://www.ncsyes.co.uk/

We then had a visit from Carolyn and Roger Lambert representing Cycle Seahaven (on their bikes of course) who told us that they now have more than 200 members, and cater for different levels of fitness and ability. As previously reported here in Seaford Scene, they now have some very smart jerseys and they do pride themselves on the great variety of rides that are organised by their leaders on a weekly basis.

Martello Rotary Club is extremely grateful to both of of these clubs for their help with our Triple Challenge event, and as a result a total of £1,000 will be handed over to a representative from The British Heart Foundation in October, and a full report will appear in next month’s Seaford Scene.

The Starfish Project Martello Rotary first became aware of this not-for-profit project several years ago and we have made several donations to them. Essentially what they provide is compassion and care in small groups for effective and sustainable control for stammering. They also provide one-to-one training from recovering stammerers with free lifetime support. Anne and David Blight are the driving force behind this inspirational project and they visited together with Matt Callard, who first made contact with them ten years ago. He is now a confident and assured public speaker, but we were shown a video of his first phone call to them and by his own admission, it was hard to watch at times. He has made such fantastic progress that he now gives many talks about the project, to help “spread the word “. The club was delighted to make a donation of £250 which will help them to make a bursary scholarship available for a young person of limited resources to obtain therapy to control their stammer.You can find out more by visiting their website at: www.starfishproject.co.uk The Martello Rotary Club meet on Monday evenings at Seaford Golf Club and welcomes new members.

WHATEVER THE WEATHER...

by Sara Andrews

It is that time again. Autumn is here, in the animal kingdom bears begin to hibernate and birds migrate, so how do us humans react to this change of season?

‘Weather’ Talk

Some of us love the seasons and the changes that they bring, for others it can be a more challenging adjustment, especially given that Autumn is a transition into the cold and dark winter months.

In addition, we have a culture that leans towards a common language connected to the weather. It is interesting that when two people are talking and both already know it is raining outside, it is considered a cultural norm to say, “raining again?” and phrase it like a question. Some say that The British use ‘weather talk’ to connect socially.

Potential For Change

It can be helpful at this time of year to think about your attitude towards winter and if it works for you?

Change is of course a constant part of life, nothing stays exactly the same and we evolve as we experience change. The weather is a good metaphor for life and its unpredictability. So, if we know the season is changing and that winter is coming and that is beyond our control, what can we do differently to improve our mood in relation to something that is inevitable?

To change an attitude requires mental energy. Staying the same can feel easy, safe and comfortable. So people often resist change to stay in their comfort zone. We invest in fixed attitudes to avoid change. Actually, as human beings we need to challenge ourselves, we need to take risks and stay curious about life and how we respond to it, this helps us evolve and live a happier and more fulfilled life.

Identify Your Current Attitudes

So how about looking at your attitude to season changes.

Autumn will be turning into Winter; what thoughts and feelings does this evoke in you? For some, winter

64

coming may elicit very positive thoughts already and for others there may be a sense of ‘doom and gloom’ as the temperature drops and the days shorten.

Recognising that our thoughts come from past experiences is the first step in changing it. By creating this awareness, we give ourselves the opportunity to reframe something that is inevitable in our lives, like winter coming, it will happen having similarities AND differences to every other winter we have experienced. We can choose to look at anything in life, through a different lens, if we want to.

Create A More Useful Attitude

What do you like about winter, which memories evoke happiness in you? The simple things, like jumping in puddles or collecting conkers as a child. The sound of rustling leaves, the feeling of snuggling up with a blanket and a good book, lighting a log fire, the smell of a warm winter casserole, anything that has a positive personal connection. This winter, how about doing something different? Try going for a ‘mindful’ walk, where you stay in touch with the ‘here and now’ and simply notice what is around you. The changing environment, the vibrancy of autumnal colours, misty mornings, a flock of birds. Notice what is different each time you walk. Hold in mind what you see around you each day, allow nature to literally feed your soul. Pop in on a friend or neighbour, make a phone call to someone you haven’t spoken to for a while, get outside when you can, put on your favourite jumper or cook something you know and love or try a new recipe.

By changing your attitude, you can break your routine and choose a different way to respond to anything in life… it is a choice we have.

THE

HOUSE Because change begins with you...

COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

A happier life can start here...

‘The House’ is a counselling and psychotherapy centre, in the heart of Seaford, offering talking therapies with therapists trained to work with a variety of issues. ‘The House’ is a place where positive change can be realised in a safe and supportive space where intimate and personal feelings and issues can be discussed in confidence.

Our therapies include...

INDIVIDUAL ADULT THERAPY

YOUNG PERSON’S COUNSELLING

COUPLE’S COUNSELLING

Individual Talking Therapy is based on the relationship between an individual and a psychotherapist or counsellor.

Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who’s objective, neutral and non-judgemental.

At ‘The House’ we will work together to identify and change the thoughts and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best.

Adolescents today can struggle to cope with the stresses of modern life; pressures at school, family dynamics and peer pressure. Teenagers preparing for adulthood in an ever-complex world, may feel that no one can understand their feelings, especially parents and teachers.

This can lead to anger and being confused about their changing identity. Counselling can give clarity to young people helping them to overcome their problems.

Having someone alongside us in whom we can trust and depend, enriches our lives.

When things go wrong we can end up feeling neglected, rejected or even abandoned by those we hold dearest. Whether working through a break up or resolving relationship issues; ‘The House’ offers clients a safe and respectful environment where, through mediation with a trained therapist, you can find a way forward.

Cross Way Church Cross Way Church in Seaford is having a busy time at present. We celebrated Harvest at the beginning of October with a wonderful Sunday Service when we brought our gifts of tins, packets and jars of food.

These have been donated to the Seahaven Storehouse, which gives food to people who find themselves in a crisis situation. We also had a special collection in support of the Mission Aviation Fellowship. This charity uses planes to transform the lives of the world’s most isolated people in need. Following the service, several of us enjoyed a meal together at a local hostelry.

Earlier in the year the Wednesday Group celebrated 50 years of fellowship with a special weekend when we enjoyed Afternoon Tea and took part in a celebratory service. We commissioned a stained glass specialist to make a stained glass cross to hang in the Church; we also had a special candle made and a wall hanging made from pieces of patchwork which the group had sewn.

We look forward to many more years of friendship and fellowship together.

Charity Fashion Show

On 13th October, Weight Watchers teamed up with Cancer Research in Seaford to raise money for a charity fashion show in aid of the ‘Stand up to Cancer’ campaign.

Georgina Read and Sally Evans who are both local Weight Watchers Leaders have been organising fundraising events across their weekly meetings in Seaford, Peacehaven and Eastbourne with members generously donating over £500.

Georgina said, ‘Most of our members have been affected in some way by cancer, so this is very much a charity close to their hearts’. Volunteers from the shop and regular customers were modelling the shop’s latest finds on the catwalk and Weight Watchers donated goodie bags for the guests as well as a raffle for the evening. Sally said, “Supporting the local community is an important part of our role and it has been a privilege to be involved with such a worthwhile cause, not to mention a chance for us to glam up for the evening!” To find a meeting near you go to: www.weightwatcherslocal.co.uk

Seaford Baptist Church at ‘The Living Room’ On 11th September Eclectrix performed on a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon on the Green at ‘The Living Room,’ (portacabin) in Raymond Close, Cradle Hill.

During the event, local residents enjoyed listening while their children played safely in the park. One lady arrived in the interval saying she had been decorating in her new home nearby and heard the music and decided to find out where it was. Having found us she stayed for the 2nd half and told us she wishes she’d been there for all of it.

The Band sang and performed their usual mixture of popular Rock, Folk, Gospel, Country, Blues, as many joined in with their favourites. We also performed one of our own originals, ‘The Dog Walker’s Lament which you’d find particularly amusing if you own a dog.

During the afternoon, people from Seaford Baptist Church served delicious homemade cakes and

70

refreshments, even a yummy gluten free chocolate cake and wheat free flap jacks. Some of the Youth workers also offered to face paint the children. The children chose to be Spiderman, The Hulk, butterflies and other much appreciated artistic designs.

On 16th November Eclectrix will be playing at a Charity concert in the Claremont hall, for the RLNI with another local Band, called Hard Pressed. We hope you come and not only enjoy the music, but support the amazing work the RNLI do.

Seaford Striders Running News

Loch Ness Marathon

25th September 2016

I was bleary eyed at 6.45am when we set off and we drove past loch after loch, taking in the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen before, arriving at the highest point of Inverness. I was freezing while waiting for the start and nervous about starting in the 4 hours 30 minutes slot, not ever believing I could achieve that time, but off I went.

The difference between this and other marathons I have run is that the roadsides are quiet until you get to a village and the locals are all out cheering and clapping. From mile 5 there was a variety of challenging hills, which I managed to overcome and stay at a reasonable pace thanks to my trainers at Striders and my weekly hill sessions.

Mile 13 and the half way line saw me still soaking in the scenery, feeling great and keeping to my pace. Mile 18 was the ‘Loch Ness Monster’, just over a mile of the biggest hill I have ever had to face! Running past men with legs longer than mine, I flew up that hill, thinking of all the instructions I had been told – No stopping, just run! Mile 25, completely and totally in the zone.

Somehow I missed my dad in the middle of the road taking photos of me! My left leg didn’t belong to me any more, but I continued to run as fast as I could, until I saw my little boy, who was waiting to run the last 100 metres with me. We both ran over the line together, which was so emotional, as I was looking at the time and realising I had smashed my PB. I can’t believe it, I smashed my London time by 20 minutes, finishing in 4:25:26! Thank you to all my fellow runners at Striders as I could not have got a PB without you all! Totally pooped!

By Carlie Watts Whilst Carlie was in Scotland, other Striders were running closer to home, with our youngest junior Joe

74

Plant taking part in a local park run and achieving a new PB, running his first sub 21 min 5K in a time of 20:47.

Four other Striders went slightly further afield, over the border into West Sussex to take part in another Grand Prix event, this time the Barns Green Half.

LEWES DOWNLAND 10 MILER

Sunday 2nd October 2016 Always a tough race being off road and with numerous hills, especially at mile 7, where it seems positively Alpine.

However, the beautiful autumn weather made the race all the better as the views were superb.

The race starts downhill, in a field near the old Lewes race course, but soon turns to begin the first of the ascents. The route is a mixture of tracks and narrow footpaths and, with the rain the day before, was slippery in places.

10 Striders made the start and first over the finishing line was Josh Rudd in 1:07:07, and in 11th place overall, he was very closely followed by Gareth Hutchinson in 1:07:28 (12th). Next came Scott Hitchcock 1:10:24, Luke Borland 1:12:55 (Luke was pleased to report that he ran the hill at miles 7/8) and new Strider James Stephenson 1:14:54 who were fairly closely bunched, finishing 21st, 30th and 39th.

Kevin Ives was next home in 1:21:52. There followed the 3 double centurions (that’s the sum of their ages) Peter Weekes 1:29:33, Terry Ward 1:34:42 and Chris le Beau 1:39:47. Tom Roper closed the race for Striders in 1:58:24.

It was great to finish afterwards with some wonderful homemade cake and a cup of tea in the race HQ. Thanks to all those who came to support Striders.

EAST SUSSEX LEGAL FIRM CLOCKS UP 120 MILES ON BIKE FOR CHILDREN’S CHARITY Staff from QualitySolicitors Barwells based in Seaford, with offices across East Sussex, have worked together to collectively ride 120 miles on exercise bikes to raise money for the children’s charity Barnardo’s.

Barwells is a longstanding supporter of Barnardo’s and is always getting involved with the latest initiatives in the partnership between QualitySolicitors and Barnardo’s, which dates back to 2010.

In the past six years, QualitySolicitors and Barnardo’s have worked closely on a number of joint-projects.

The ‘Barwellls to Barnardo’s’ challenge started on 12th September and took a full 5 days to complete. The firm was able to raise £551.28 in total for the children’s charity. The challenge was organised by Stephen Ash, a Partner at Barwells and Kerrie Carter, a Marketing Assistant who has recently joined the firm.

QualitySolicitors Barwells was founded in 1896, with the first office opening on Sutton Park Road in Seaford.

Over the years, the firm has expanded and now has offices in Seaford, Hailsham, Eastbourne, Newhaven and Peacehaven where they strive to maintain their strong links with the local community.

When asked why they decided to undertake the challenge for the charity, Stephen said, “Barwells is a keen and longstanding supporter of Barnardo’s. We try to get involved with all their campaigns and enjoy coming up with creative ways in which we can support them. It certainly generated a lot of interest and it’s fantastic to think of the children that will be helped with the money raised.”

Kerrie said that the most difficult part of the challenge was the heat. “We chose a really hot week to do the challenge, which meant cycling long distances was hard work. But all staff were really supportive of each other and seeing passers-by stopping to donate really kept us going.”

SEAFORD SUNSHINE STRUMMERS Tuesdays 2pm, various venues

In the last few years, local music groups have sprouted up all over in Seaford. We now have several well established, flourishing choirs, we have a drumming group who meet regularly sometimes on the seafront, folk music groups and now, to add to these riches, a ukulele group has formed.

The Seaford Sunshine Strummers are all about the fun of playing and singing. We have a regular, free gettogether once a week in each other’s houses. There are currently fourteen of us and we realize that if we get any bigger, we will need a proper venue, but as it stands, Trevor contacts everyone to tell us where we’re meeting.

The ukulele is the easiest instrument for an untrained person to play, you need very little tuition. It’s quieter than a guitar and more forgiving to learn. If you’re a newcomer to playing an instrument, one of the group will offer 1-1 tuition to bring you up to speed until

Muddy Paws & Happy Claws Pet Services Dog Walking Holiday Home Cat/Pet Feeding Doggie Day Creche Cat/Pet Sitting

you have the confidence to join the group. For anyone new to ukuleles, we have a couple that we can loan out for you to try. This way, you can see if you like it or until you buy one for yourself. If you play another instrument, we hope you will bring that along and put it in the mix. We do a lot of singing with our playing so you will need to enjoy singing, although you certainly don’t need to be a virtuoso!

We started our group after a lively workshop led by Bruce Knapp in the garden of the Stafford Road Open House during the 2015 Artwave Festival. We keep in touch with Bruce and for a small fee, he comes along every few months to give us a bit of tuition.

We have recently realised that although playing and singing in each other’s houses is fun, in order to move forward we needed goals – so we’ve started offering ourselves to care homes and charitable venues for short performances. Of course, this is voluntary and you only have to join these performances when you feel confident enough. So far we have played at St James’, Homeshare and the WI. There is no obligation to come every week and at the moment it’s free, so if this sounds like something you would like to do, please contact me, Trevor Jones on 01323 898164 or trevor.jones332@btinternet.com Photo: Seaford Sunshine Strummers at Stafford Road Open House in August as part of Artwave 2016

Seaford Tree Wardens

Winter Tree Care

Winter is fast approaching, so now is the perfect time of year to carry out some tree maintenance to prepare your garden for the chilly months ahead.

Raking Dead leaves and fallen fruits should be raked away, as if left on the ground, rotting plant matter can become a breeding ground for leaf-borne diseases, which could infect your trees.

Planting If you are wanting to plant trees, now is a perfect time to do so. When young trees are getting established, they require regular watering, however when planted in autumn and winter, they need less watering than in the hot summer months, so are lower maintenance. And of course the inevitable British rain showers will do some of the work for you!

Professional Pet Care at your home

For cats, dogs, small animals, ducks and chickens, with experience in caring for elderly pets and those on medication.

Pet Au Pair is a personal visiting service tailored to the needs of your pets.

I am fully insured and vet recommended with over 10 years experience.

Fleecing Trees in containers may require fleecing

with gardening fleece. When fleecing potted trees, make sure to wrap the container as well, as this will help to prevent the roots from freezing.

Pruning

It’s a good idea to carry out any pruning of tree limbs that are dead or diseased ahead of winter time, as dead wood can become hazardous in high winds or heavy snow. Just remember to prune carefully and if there is anything you can’t manage safely yourself – call a professional!

The Seaford Tree Wardens will be planting trees in Bodiam Close on the weekend of 26th November.

If you would like to help us plant a tree, or just want to come and have a look, please contact Margery on 01323 873475. Everyone is welcome!

Rotary Club of Seaford

Boot, Craft & Produce Fair There have been strange forces at work that appear to trouble the Rotary Boot, Craft & Produce fairs this year. In the two weeks preceding the September fair, the weather was sunny and warm.Yet when the weekend arrived, this weather deserted Seaford and rain and strong winds blew in. The rain however cleared overnight and the Sunday morning was cloudy and dry although windy which is not unusual for Seaford.

The September Fair thus took place with some regular stall holders and others hoping to sell their wares.

Although the number of stall holders was slightly less than at the August fair, the fair was a success, raising a significant sum towards funds for use in supporting local charities.

The Rotary stall was particularly full of items for sale at the start of the morning, with some large items such as an electric lawn mower, an electric drill table stand, a garden watering system and floor steam cleaner available.

Although goods on offer on other stalls included items typically found at a Boot, Craft & Produce Fair such as clothes, toys, books and DVDs there seemed to be a larger than usual number of stalls selling collectables.

Some of the more unusual and large items for sale included a boxing punch bag and a chimnea barbeque, albeit slightly rusty.

offering special prices for ‘buying early for Christmas’, Christmas cards, including a stall devoted to card making and even a 7-foot Christmas tree on sale. Goods on offer included clothes, plants and bulbs, toys including several play costumes such as a skeleton, books and DVDs as well as the usual collectables. Some of the more unusual and large items for sale included a chain saw, lawn mowers and paint sprayer equipment, complete with four cans of paint. The overall result of the October Fair was a contribution to Seaford Rotary Club funds of over £600 that will be used to support local charities.

The dates of the Rotary Boot, Craft & Produce Fairs in 2017 to be held at the Martello Fields on Sundays from 9am to 1pm are: 16th April, 14th May, 11th June, 9th July, 6th August, 3rd September, 1st October The cost of a pitch remains at 2016 prices as £8.

Grand Charity Draw The winner of the first prize of £500 in Seaford Rotary Club’s Grand Charity Raffle is Michael Osborne, who is the identical twin brother of Rotarian Tony Osborne. Tony is the older by 20 minutes.

The draw was made on 19th September by Morrisons store manager Ross Wilson, and based on the names written on the tickets all the winners appeared to be men. Further investigation however revealed that the winner of the second and third prizes of £100 and £50 were Mrs Elizabeth Graham-Hyde and Mrs Pat Jeremy respectively.

The weather forecast for the October fair on the first weekend of the month was sunny after a cold night. In reality it turned out to be sunny early in the morning as stallholders were setting up but occasional clouds and chill northerly wind kept temperatures lower than expected.

Nevertheless, the forecast sun helped the October fair to have the greatest number of stall holders in 2016 and thus by far the most successful.

Between 6th and 10th September, Seaford Rotary Club took over a small part of Morrisons store in Seaford to sell tickets for the Grand Charity Raffle. Rotarians also sold tickets at the Boot, Craft and Produce Fairs held on the Martello Fields on the first weekends of August and September. Rotarians were also encouraged to sell tickets personally to neighbours, relatives and friends.

As the October fair was the last in 2016, there was some early Christmas spirit in evidence, with stallholders

Michael Osborne had bought the winning ticket one evening when his brother Tony came to dinner and indicated that he had a few tickets left, and wondered if Michael would like to purchase them. Michael agreed but said that if he was to win he would give his winnings to his two grandchildren, Nick and Sophie. When called to be advised that he had won a prize he was not able to locate the ticket immediately and had to search his house before it could be found.

All the prizes were presented to the lucky winners in a ceremony in Morrisons store on 3rd October. When asked how he thought his grandchildren would spend the money he hoped that they would put it away to be spent wisely but that he expected it to be spent on a good night out.

Sophie has just finished university and so the money should be more than welcome.

The overall result was a contribution to the funds to be used by Seaford Rotary Club to support local charities of approximately £1,350.

Competitions for Young People Seaford Rotary Club will again be organising various competitions for our young people over the next few months. The first of these is for Young Artists with four age groups covering under7s, 7 – 10, 11 – 13, and 14-18 as at 1st September 2016. Each group is asked to enter a painting or drawing titled “My favourite thing” for the two younger age groups and “My favourite local view” for the two older sections.

The closing date for entries is 3rd December 2016 and full details are on the Club website www.seafordrotary. org.uk or can be obtained from Rotarians Tony Lees on 894352 or Jim Anderson on 492846. All the other competitions will take place after Christmas.

Following its successful launch last year, it is intended to run a Young Writers Competition again in conjunction with the local Primary Schools. It is also planned to repeat the Club’s two longer running competitions. The Young Photographers will again be organised with the help of Fotobox and the subject this time will be “Reflection”.

The ever popular Young Musicians will follow a similar format to the 2016 competition, with sections for Instrumentalists, Vocalists, and Ensembles. Details of both the Young Photographers and Young Musicians competitions will be publicised in the local media, through local schools, and on the Club website when they are available.

St Andrew’s Day St Andrew’s Day is on 30th November. in Scotland and an annual bank holiday has taken place in his honour since 2007. The day is marked with musical celebrations, dancing and special food. There is also free entry to many castles and attractions on that day.

St Andrew is a busy chap; he also the patron saint of Cyprus, Greece, Russia, Bulgaria and several other countries, as well as gout, sore throats and spinsters!

Before leaving to follow Jesus, Andrew was a fisherman.

Amongst his notable acts are: bringing the first foreigners to meet Jesus, and getting a crowd of people to share food with those beside them. He became one of the twelve disciples.

Andrew’s brother was Peter, the founder of the church.

This relationship helped the Scots appeal for protection from the Pope against the English in 1320.

St Andrew was crucified by the Romans on an ‘X’ shaped cross. This is reflected in the white of the Scottish national flag which is known as the Saltire.

Some of St Andrew’s relics can be found at St Mary’s Cathedral in Edinburgh, others are in Amalfi, Italy. Whilst now famous as the birthplace of modern golf and for having a notable university, St Andrews the town is believed to be so called because it once housed some of St Andrew’s relics.

BRIGHTON ROCK AND PEACEHAVEN A. S. Anderson Son Ltd FLAT&ROOFING RECLAMATION GRAND Local Flat Roofing Specialists Accredited GRP GRP Installer Installer RE-OPENING Accredited

Juliet had been living in Canada with her family but decided to come back to Sussex to help look after her dad and his business. When he passed, Juliet took over, but soon decided she needed help, and along came Rob, a local builder with an interest in reclamation. A new partnership was born.

Together, Juliet and Rob have revamped the yard, added some much-needed signage, security and stock, and are now opening the yard 5 days a week rather than the one day that Ron opened. As well as rockery stone and hard landscape materials, they now also have a large stock of unusual items including a granite gun placement, an old French confessional, marine salvage and lots of interesting reclaimed furniture and artefacts.

The business, which was formerly Brighton Stone, is run

by Juliet Sullivan and Rob Coleman, from a yard adjacent to the Newhaven Sainsburys. Juliet recently took over the business after her well-known dad Ron Beck, who ran Brighton Stone for over 20 years, died in May of this year.

When Ron passed away, he was 82 and still working hard supplying Sussex with rockery and landscape materials.

Newhaven Mayor Steve Saunders and his wife Sharon recently took time out of their busy schedule to attend the Grand re-opening of Brighton Rock and Reclamation on Avis Way Industrial Estate. Councillor Saunders cut the ribbon to the gates, christened the “company boat” (which is just the bow of an old fishing boat sitting in the entrance to the yard) and spent a few hours mingling with customers.

Make your Voice heard over Rail Consultation The Sussex Community Rail Partnership is a notfor-profit partnership encouraging more use of the railway. This has nothing to do with any recent industrial action or withdrawal of services on local trains – although that does make the Partnership’s job more difficult.

Local representatives, from Councils, National Park, transport providers, education and community groups, have been working for 10 years to popularise and improve local services in our area, specifically the Seaford to Brighton line.

Some successes have been the development of adopted stations, most notably London Road Brighton, station gardens, and the successful campaign to get Southern Rail and Network Rail to install secure lit

storage for bikes. The Rail 150 extravaganza was a joint enterprise between the SCRP and local groups.

Currently there is obvious negativity about the railways.

But gloomy local forecasts of the Seaford to Lewes line closing fly in the face of the advertisement of a part-time (14 hours a week) SCRP post of a Seaford to Brighton Community Rail Officer. Interviews should have been held by the publication date of November’s Seaford Scene.

At the same time Southern (Part of the GTR Govia Thameslink Railway) is holding a public consultation about the proposed timetable from 2018, when the opening of the hugely important Crossrail lines eastwest across London will make ALL rail companies serving London reconsider the way they operate timetables, routes and stations. Some of the suggestions have caused alarm e.g. the possibility of taking off the through trains from Seaford to Victoria. Some timing and service improvements are also suggested.

Most important, since it is what the timetable planners will actually look at, is that every person, every organisation, every business in Seaford with an interest in train travel from Seaford, Bishopstone and Newhaven takes part in the current consultation. This can be on line, or by getting someone on line to print a paper copy which you can return to GTR. Please be part of the consultation and make your voice heard. Closing date 8th December.

Hard copies of the information and consultation form have to be requested by post: GTR Timetable Consultation, c/o East Side Offices, London Kings Cross Station, N1C 4AP. Peter White (a member of SCRP for Seaford Community Partnership / Chair of the Cross-Seaford Transport Working Group / Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Transport and Travel Focus Group. No connections to Southern Rail!)

The former Mayoress of Peacehaven, Helen Livings, has been appointed Chair of Trustees for CTLA Community Transport, which covers the whole of the Lewes District.

Helen has been a trustee for CTLA for over five years and is a passionate supporter of the front line services that accessible Community Transport charities bring to the community. “Kempton House in Peacehaven is one example where I know activities would have ceased long ago had it not been for the transport support of CTLA – meaning a large number of older residents would have lost their lunch clubs and the chance to stay active and socialise in their neighbourhood,” said Helen. “I’ve been delighted to use my skills and experience to help make a lasting difference to such an important cause, and as newly appointed Chair will continue to help CTLA remain sustainable and deal with the challenges we face so that we can meet the ever increasing demands for our services from the local community.”

Well, what a topsy-turvy summer it’s been. With autumn finally upon us after a pleasantly lengthy sunny period from mid-August, the produce just kept coming and the beginning of October still saw our walled garden at the Crouch open on Saturday mornings. It was those marvellous tomatoes that had you wonderful regulars coming in to buy. Was it our new poly tunnel, the skill of our green-fingered volunteers or just late season sun coming just when you want it? Whatever, even the outdoorgrown tomatoes had swollen to a fat green at the time of writing, and Steph suggested leaving them in a dark place such as a drawer, or even a paper bag, to ripen.

“They’ll redden in the end,” she said. Katie added: “You can even try adding a ripe banana to speed up the process.”

And talking of colour, you ain’t seen nuffink until you’ve clapped eyes on our smashing new labels. You see, one of the problems we have is pricing. We can’t remember our numbers it seems, so to make it all a bit easier we’ve introduced a coloured label regime.

So when you see a pink label it means the plant is £5; black for £4, yellow for £3, green for £2, blue for £1.50 and purple for £1. Still in a muddle?

It’s all explained on a big sign by the sales table. Because writing prices on labels takes time we didn’t always get around to it, so this should be more efficient.

Of course, like all gardens this one needs a bit of a sort out if it is to get through the winter and look good for next spring, so the other day saw James tying in roses

112

on the arbour and other volunteers administering a short back and sides where required while others lifted plants for splitting.

And our sales table at the Crouch will be looking even more tempting thanks to the generosity of Carolyn and John McCutchan of Bates Green Farm – site of the famed Bluebell Trail – who have given us some beautiful plants to pot up and sell. And a big thank you also to local supermarkets including the Coop who kindly donated bags for the sales table... ...Speaking of which, there was still a lot of produce to be bought with the last of the courgettes picked, and some squashes to follow, along with spears of deep green cavolo nero and forests of curly kale.

The last bright orange runner flowers were still producing beans and the raspberries were having their usual extended season. And at the nursery end Mike and Bill were busy planting new season leeks while adolescent leeks were fattening up nicely near the classroom. And the apple and pear trees were bearing a magnificence of fruit.

Come in and see what we’ve got for yourselves any Wednesday morning between 9.30 and 12.30. And if you haven’t been before you are bound to be treated to a guided tour because there’s nothing we love more than showing you round. Enjoy!

ALLIUMS

Alliums are delightful summer flowers to have in the garden, with showy heads and coming in shades of blue, purple, white and yellow – even when they die back the dried flower heads look attractive. The generic name for allium is the Latin for garlic and was first described in 1753. The flowers form an umbel at the top of a leafless stalk and will look good in any border amongst other flowers.

Also known as ornamental onions, they will thrive in a sheltered, sunny, open, well drained soil. Autumn is the time to plant bulbs either in the garden or in deep pots ready for a good display next summer.

o

The society held a Gardeners’ Question Time at the end of September. Our panel of experts answered questions and queries on a variety of gardening issues.

It is surprising how much can go wrong in a garden – too wet or too dry, cold nights, plants attacked by disease, growth of weeds, slugs, snails and other pests.

Despite setbacks however, there are usually some things that will grow as they should and every year is different, flowers, plants and crops do produce results. The panel encouraged the audience to continue with gardening, next year will be different again. Gardening is definitely not for giving up on. Sylvia Reeve to d

I

t may be November, but that doesn’t mean work in the garden has to cease, having harvested crops, cleared dead flowers and debris and mulched the soil, it’s time to plant something that will cope with winter cold. Fruit such as gooseberries, blackberries, black and red currants are rarely seen in shops, often only being available in farm shops and ‘Pick your Own’.

Growing your own can be an answer and fruit bushes are ideal for planting this month. Being easy to look after, and not taking up too much space in a garden one bush can produce several pounds of fruit. They can also be grown in pots on a patio but do need a sunny spot.

Bare root fruit bushes are in their dormant state now, so available to buy from garden centres. However plan first where the plant will be put in the garden and dig a hole ready so it can be planted straight away as the roots must not be allowed to dry out. The bush will soon settle in and look after itself during winter then in spring will show its leaves and produce fruit in the early summer. It is a satisfying feeling to see a tree loaded with fruit to then enjoy for the next several weeks.

JOBS TO DO IN November

3 Any rotten fruit left hanging on trees can

spread disease, so remove each one and destroy rather than compost them.

3 Stand pots and containers onto pot feet or bricks to prevent the plants growing in them becoming water-logged over winter.

3 Sow sweet pea seeds into pots of multi purpose compost, cover seeds lightly, water and leave to germinate under glass or outside if not too cold.

3 Tidy up strawberries, plant up runners if wanting new plants, otherwise remove them along with dead leaves, old straw and weeds.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD The last social evening of the year is the AGM and Awards Night to be held at 7pm on Thursday 24th November in St Leonard’s Church Hall. The evening will include a report on 2016, the announcement of next year’s programme of meetings and outings, the presentation of the trophies awarded at the show held in August along with refreshments and raffle.

SEAFORD KURLERS

Hi everyone.

It’s bonfire time!

I love the fireworks and the bonfires and the processions. When I first moved to Sussex in 1965, it was to Lewes. I had no idea about Lewes Bonfires. I had a year old toddler and my husband and I pushed her in a wheelchair up Station Street! Nobody had warned us. I thought the world had gone mad. What fun it was and still is. Long may it continue. Seaford of course has its own Bonfire Society and what a great display they put on for all to see.

I am sure this year’s will do them proud.

Seaford Kurlers will not attempt to rival them and form our own. We will stick to rolling stones on a badminton floor. Much safer. Unlike the bonfires and fireworks, Seaford Kurlers are not just for November but for all year.

Very little stops our members from playing the sport every week come rain or shine.

Briar Rose Garden Services All aspects of gardening work undertaken, including:

grass cutting shrub pruning hedge cutting border clearance turf laying small tree pruning fencing Over 20 years experience.

For a free quotation please call: Simon Hookway Tel: 01323 417778 / 07841 115822 Email: briarrosegdns@gmail.com

We still do not know the outcome of the ESDA liquidation. No doubt we will in time. Seaford Kurlers are still able to continue as we have always done. Indeed members seem more keen than ever. The threat of having to close down spurred us all on.

We will be holding our annual Christmas lunch at the Seaford Royal British Legion this year early in December.

We meet every Tuesday from 2pm – 4pm. The weekly cost is £2.50 and the Annual Membership is £5.

Protect & transform your old roof Our specialist roof cleaning systems remove unsightly moss, lichens and debris. This alone reduces blocked gutters, down pipes and especially reduces blocking of soak-aways. It also reveals broken and damaged tiles that can lead to water damage inside your property. Once checked and repaired and then treated with 2 specialist transparent water sealer coatings, your roof tiles will last longer, be protected against water penetration, decreases water absorption into the tiles and dramatically reduces rapid moss and plant growth.
