Welcome Welcome to the October issue of Seaford Scene. Sadly the nights are drawing in and the temperatures are dropping, however we must be thankful for the extended summer we enjoyed last month. So autumn kicks off this year with Seaford Bonfire Society’s Annual Bonfire night on 22nd October. It’s a great experience, and if you haven’t been before and you fancy a spooky and atmospheric night, I’d recommend it. Also this month the Synergy Theatre perform ‘Boston Marriage’ at the Clinton Centre from the 26th to 29th, Seaford Musical Theatre Juniors are performing ‘Disney’s The Jungle Book’ on Saturday 15th and The Enchanted Violin is on at St Andrews Church on the 30th. There are exhibitions at the Crypt Gallery by printmakers Maureen Black and Gill Day, and paintings by Patrick Goff. Music-wise, the Corelli Ensemble perform with soloists and students from Seaford Head School on Saturday 1st plus it’s the Martello Proms Concert on Saturday 8th and Seaford Music Society Concert on the 21st. Oh, and don’t forget the clocks go back on Sunday 30th! Enjoy your October issue! Nov ISSUE DEADLINE: Thur 6th OCT DEC ISSUE deadline: TUES 8th NOV

Seaford Bonfire Society
Seaford Bonfire Society is hosting its 6th annual Bonfire Night this year on 22nd October. Since re-forming in 2010 the Bonfire Society has gone from strength to strength, with each year providing more spectacular displays and fireworks than before. This year’s event promises to be a fantastic evening, starting with a torch lit parade through town from the White Lion Hotel to the War memorial. Drummers and local bands accompany the marching bonfire societies dressed in stunning costumes, pulling flaming fire barrels and carrying huge tableaux. These tableaux are created by members of Seaford Bonfire Society themselves and have in past years included a magnificent ghost ship, a Viking longboat and a massive treasure chest. This year’s display is a well guarded secret and will only be revealed on the night. The procession then continues to the Martello Fields for the bonfire and magnificent firework displays put on by Frontier Fireworks and the Society’s own pyrotechnics team.
You might think it’s just about a one-off event on one day of the year, but in fact there’s things going on all year. The preparations for the event start the day after it happens with members clearing the site and repairing the field. Preparations for the next year start early in the year with all the planning and then things get quite hectic during the summer when around 1,400 torches need to be made, as well as the banners and tableaux, and the bonfire itself. The Bonfire Society is a voluntary organisation and in order to raise enough money to stage the event members are busy fundraising throughout the year as it can only keep going each year thanks to the generosity of the local community through donations, sponsorship and fundraising events. Programmes will be on sale at the Clinton Centre on 27th September or look out for pirates and smugglers in town on Saturday mornings in October.

‘LIFE’ Exhibition is coming For the third time Churches Together in Seaford will be hosting this nationally acclaimed exhibition. This is a hands on, multi-media, interactive, colourful and lively exhibition that has been designed to complement and support the RE teaching going on in schools. It clearly presents what Christians believe about the person and nature of Jesus. The tour ends with a visit to the in-church café, with a chance to relax or to use one of computers to investigate more LIFE issues. Once again this is a great example of the churches in Seaford working together to share why they believe the
Bible is central to their faith. From Monday 17th to Friday 21st October classes from the local primary schools are booked to attend St Leonards Church to see the exhibition. Youth and other groups are invited to the evening sessions. On Saturday 22nd, Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th (Half-term) the event, which is suitable for all the family, will be open to the public from 9.30am to 4pm. Young children must be accompanied by an adult. On these Family Days there will be ‘Story Time’ Sessions at 10.30am and 2.30pm with singing, quizzes and a Gospel booklet to take home.

Are you worried about “Making Tax Digital� and reporting to HMRC? If so, come along to and listen to Robin Stevenson of Swindells discuss this topic. Please join us at our next free Small Business Forum on Tuesday 25 October 2016 We have created the Swindells Small Business Forum to bring together Swindells clients and other local businesses so they can network, keep up to date with developments in business and generally support each other with experience and advice. The next event is being held at Seaford Golf Club, Firle Road, Seaford on Tuesday 25 October 2016. Refreshments will be available from 5.00pm with the presentation starting promptly at 5.30pm. To reserve a free place email Sue Coupe at: suec@swindellsaccounting.co.uk or ring: 01323 892549. Robin Stevenson of Swindells will discuss HMRC new "Making Tax Digital" which promises to do away with paper tax returns, but could replace them with quarterly tax returns. Although HMRC have carried out a social media campaign, Robin will explain what this will mean to small businesses and the likely timetable to it's introduction. Nick Holdcroft of Horlock Holdcroft Financial Advisers will then discuss and take questions on Auto Enrolment. Despite a lengthy and expensive advertising campaign it seems a lot of employers are still confused as to their obligations under the Work Place Pensions legislation and run the risk of unnecessary penalties if their staging date is missed.

Seaford Christmas Magic Returns! Seaford Christmas Magic will be returning to the streets of Seaford on Saturday 3rd December! Whilst the sun tries to shine outside, there is just a few weeks left until Christmas 2016! Therefore, we are moving ahead with preparations for Seaford Christmas Magic 2016. Organised by Seaford Town Council and the Seaford Chamber of Commerce, the event will be animating the streets of Seaford from 10am until 6pm with the All Day Market and Family Entertainment. The event is organised in order to celebrate the festive season in a really special way for Seaford but also the Lewes District as a whole; to involve the community with their town centres and enjoy their local trade; it also aims to bring new visitors to Seaford, allowing them to experience what the town has to offer. The shops open for their normal trading hours, the street fills with stalls of all kinds, fire eaters, jugglers, the Ice Queen and King, music, as well as fair ground rides to enjoy! There will be Santa’s Grotto, craft activities, a lantern parade and so much more! The event is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy lots of entertainment whilst partaking in Christmas shopping. Stalls and Pitches are now open for applications, so contact Seaford Town Council to book yours now and be a part of the Magic with the option of a commercial pitch (which includes a marquee and table) for £48 or if you are not for profit you can hire a pitch for £18 (this does not include the marquee or table, but you can bring your own).
As ever, an event of this scale needs increasing support as it is organised primarily by volunteers with no set budget. The funding is gathered through generous sponsorship from local businesses, income from some of the event attractions, and relies on the generosity of the visiting public. We will also be producing brochures which will be distributed in advance and on the day.
12
This year we are seeking support to enable the lantern parade to take place, as well as sponsorship of entertainment – in particular the Fire Eaters! Sponsorship of these includes advertisement through the event marketing materials, as well as being thanked on the PA system throughout the day. Alternatively, if you can provide your time or support in other ways, we are always looking for volunteers to help with the organisation of the event, stewarding on the day or even transporting equipment. If you or anyone you know can help, please contact Seaford Town Council to find more about how to get involved. ‘Be Informed’; why not Like us on facebook.com/ seafordchristmasmagic or follow us on twitter.com/ seafordmagic, to receive any updates. More information about the event can be found on the Facebook page or at: www.seafordxmasmagic.uk. If you are interested in being part of the event in any way please contact Seaford Town Council on 01323 894870 or admin@seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk,

SEAFORD NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY We are looking forward to welcoming current and new members to Seaford Natural History Society’s 2016/2017 indoor programme of illustrated talks. Our season starts this year with Jim and Janet Howell on Getting to know the exciting lives of fungi (4th October) and continues on 18th October with a talk on Seaford Head Local Nature Reserve Conservation by the Sussex Wildlife Trust ranger for the reserve, Sarah Quantrill. We are a long-established society with an interest in wildlife, particularly the flora, fauna and habitats of Sussex. Our meetings take place at St Luke’s Church, Walmer Road at 2.15pm on Tuesday afternoons – see the listings at the back for details. Visitors are welcome – we ask for a donation of £3 which will be deducted from your membership if you decide to join the society. For more information about the talks or joining the society, please visit our website at www. seafordnaturalhistory.org.uk or ring 01323 893526.
Out and about in October by Jim Howell “Found nearly everywhere and essential to a healthy planet” This may not be the first thing that comes into your head when you think of fungi. Without them though, nutrients would not be recycled, our trees would not thrive and our digestion would not function properly. Just a few of the positive features of fungi – and many are stunningly beautiful as well!
fungi with greasy caps – these are Waxcaps. Look closely around them and you may also notice what look like clumps of small yellow, orange or white spindles in the grass. These are Clubs and Corals – they don’t look at all like typical “toadstools”, but they are very pretty. Another toadstool you are likely to see is the Fairy Ring Champignon; as its name suggests, this often produces rings of fruiting bodies in the grass - it is very common on the Head. Friston Forest is another good place to look for fungi. One of the commonest species early in the season is Rooting Shank – a medium-sized toadstool with a pale, wrinkled cap. Another common species in the forest is the Blackfoot Polypore – a small, brown toadstool which grows on dead wood and has a very distinctive black stem; it has pores (not gills) on the underside of the cap. You may also come across huge colonies of tiny toadstools at the base of trees – this is the very beautiful Fairy Inkcap photo left). Harder to find, but very memorable, is the Collared Earth-star, which grows in leaf litter. It really is in the shape of a star with a large round sphere in the middle. Don’t forget to look upwards as well – many trees harbour bracket-type fungi. One of these is bright yellow and usually grows low down on the trunk – this is called Chicken in the Wood; you may see it near Friston Forest car park.
Autumn is the peak season for fungi and there are many excellent places to see interesting and sometimes beautiful examples around Seaford. Your own garden might be a good place to start.
If you want to find out more about fungi, come to our talk on 4th October or look out for fungal forays run by Sussex Wildlife Trust and other organisations throughout the autumn or consider getting a guidebook or chart to aid identification.
Seaford Head is also a great place to look. In the grass, you may well come across brightly coloured

PANSY
The name ‘Pansy’ is derived from the French word pensee – thought - and was imported into England with its english name as a type of viola in the 15th century, the flower being regarded as a symbol of remembrance. Early in the 19th century, Lady Mary Elizabeth Bennett collected and cultivated every sort of Viola Tricolor, the so called parent flower of the pansy, and produced via cross-breeding a large range of pansy varieties. In 1812 she introduced her pansies to the horticultural world where they were further cultivated and the flower became a favourite with the public. By 1833 there were 400 named pansies available to gardeners. Today there is a wide assortment of colours to choose from with many varieties displaying large showy face markings which will give attractive displays in any garden.

t feels like summer has gone by so quickly and autumn is now fast approaching with darker evenings and a change of weather. The Horticultural Show held in August was a great success, with over 400 exhibits displayed in almost a hundred different classes and many visitors coming to enjoy the event. However autumn is the time to prepare the garden for winter and think about what will need doing in the months ahead ready for growing next years flowers and crops. The soil having worked hard during the summer months needs digging over and feeding. Mulching is the all important job to do and is the ideal way to enrich and nourish the soil. Anything from garden compost, leave mould, bark chips and well rotted manure can be put onto the soil to feed it with the added benefit of suppressing weeds and protecting roots of any existing plants. Over winter the mulch will gradually break down and release nutrients improving the soil’s structure and texture. One way to produce mulch is by collecting fallen leaves in a black bag during autumn, adding water,
JOBS TO DO IN OCTOBER
3 Sow early varieties of broad beans to overwinter, ready to harvest from June. 3 Rhubarb is now dormant so clear all dead foliage and mulch with well rotted manure or compost leaving the crowns exposed. In early spring the rhubarb will once again come to life. 3 Congested clumps of hardy perennials can be dug up and cut into several pieces each with root and shoots attached. Replant the pieces into replenished compost. 3 Lift and store summer bulbs. Plant out winter pansies, wall flowers and spring bulbs e.g. daffodils and crocuses.
MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD The next Social evening will be held at St Leonard’s Church Hall on Thursday 27th October at 7pm.

Fame! Exotica! Party! It’s all been happening at Seaford Community Garden. Imagine our delighted surprise when, in a brochure marketing the fast up-coming Hortsley development of retirement flats on the old Caffyn’s site we recognised volunteers at work in our colourful retreat behind the Peace Garden wall at the Crouch. Yes, we think our garden is one of Seaford’s most delightful places to visit too. And there’s more: the team returned, this time with their own models, for another brochure, wearing the most pristine and freshly pressed gardening clothes we have ever seen, and bearing news of a donation to come for services rendered. Thank you very much, and it’s our great pleasure. Among the more everyday – but just as beautiful for that – plants on our sales table is, at the time of writing, a pineapple donated by Cheryl, a visitor. She told us that about 18 months ago she cut the top from a bought pineapple and planted it in ordinary soil, no compost or other handy helpers, and sat back to watch it grow. Whoever buys this exotic plant, please let us know if it ever fruits, and how you grew it. And as for a party, Steph, our wonderful cake baker, hosted our annual summer do for volunteers in her own lovely garden where we were entertained by the Pop Up Singers, then brought more cake in for her own special birthday. Not quite so great at the moment is our children’s section, where the wooden
Wendy house has become rotten. So it’s out with the old as plans are being hatched to create four flower and/or veg beds specifically for children’s use. As we now have our lovely classroom there’s no need to keep the Wendy house for shelter. Sand and soil from the old sandpit will be mixed and old sleepers repurposed, and current thinking is that the beds will be surrounded by paving. We were delighted with our space at Seaford Horticultural Show where we brought along masses of produce including soft fruit, tomatoes, spring onions, radishes, courgettes, cavelo nero and curly kale, which all sold out, along with boxes of plants, most of which went back empty. And talking about empty, we have quite a collection of highly desirable terracotta pots that we could be persuaded to let go for a small consideration. And back in the garden the runners, after a late start, are going strong, as are the raspberries, with baby leeks fast reaching adolescence and the kale and cavelo flourishing in their protective wire cage. As for the tomatoes in the recently revamped poly tunnel, they are in rude and reddening health. But come to see for yourselves. We are always open on Wednesday mornings from 9.30 to 12.30 and will be extending the welcome on Saturday mornings from 10 until 12 while we still have produce to sell. Look out for the banner on the Peace Garden gate in East Street. The Garden Team Photos from top to bottom: James harvests a good crop of potatoes grown in tyres; Well, someone’s got to wash the terracotta pots, and Stan’s the man; Raspberries are still going strong; Cheryl popped in with this pineapple she had grown; Steph brought in her luscious cake so we could celebrate her own big birthday!

Local Garden to appear On BBC 2 Gardeners’ World What started as an initial enquiry from researchers at BBC2’s Gardeners’ World back in October 2015, with a request to complete a questionnaire about the garden, became a reality last month for me at Driftwood. I had been working towards the possibility of filming all year trying to ensure the garden was going to look the best it had ever done and the anticipation throughout 2016 has been pretty tense, trust me, with me contacting the BBC Gardeners’ World team in Bristol, in the New Year, to enquire if filming was still an option this year! This was followed by many texts and emails that finally led to a researcher on the programme contacting me in late July to say that she wanted to come and see the garden herself. Well, I’m sure you can all imagine my equal parts of terror and amazement. The visit was planned for Friday 5th August and a researcher arrived and viewed the plot. She was blown away by it and left, assuring me she was in my corner for securing a slot on a forthcoming programme. A week or so went by and I had heard nothing, so I tempted a text, to see how the land lay! I then received a phone call to say that the team had agreed to Driftwood’s inclusion and that filming would likely take place on Thursday 18th August! Whilst this was an amazing achievement, it was scheduled two days before we began a three weekend art festival in the garden, with 16 different artist’s work on show. A nightmare scenario now loomed! All the art would have to be delivered and stored in the garage and then I’d only have 1 day to set it all out ready for our opening on Saturday 20th. Once I had digested this prospect, I received a call to say filming had been delayed to the following Thursday, 25th August! This certainly worked for me, in the context of being able to set up for the art festival, but there was
another threat on the horizon! The weather forecast for the weekend of the 20th/21st was appalling! 60 mph winds were expected here on the coast! How would the garden survive after that. I was totally despairing, even more so when reality kicked in on the Saturday and the winds were the worst we had ever experienced at this time of year, in the 12 years we had lived here. I just had to sit and see the garden being battered to death, there being absolutely nothing I could do! By Monday morning, the damage to the blooms had been done and I had to cut many off leaving little colour around. So, not only did I have to strip the garden of all the art and store it away, I had to go out and buy some extra plants to just add that bit of colour to the plot! By Tuesday evening, the magic had been done and it was looking very presentable. The programme’s director came to check out the garden herself on Wednesday evening, along with the same researcher, and they both loved what they saw! Phew! Thank goodness. So, 8.30am on 25th August, the crew arrived and set up their equipment. Due to the programme moving to 8 programmes of 1 hour, from 2nd September, some new presenters had been recruited and Jane Moore, Head Gardener at a Bath Hotel, was on hand to present this film. The weather was on our side and the entire day was the most amazing experience. The finished product, will, I’m sure present a wonderful five minute snapshot of me and my garden. At the time of writing the scheduled slot is 23rd September so if you missed it, you can catch up on the BBC iPlayer, Gardeners World, BBC2.

Seaford Striders Anniversary – 30 Years and Still Running! In what were ideal running conditions, current and founder members of the Seaford Striders came together, along with quite a few local runners to mark the 30th Anniversary of the club by participating in either a 2.5k or 5k fun run. The off road, multi terrain 5K course headed out from the esplanade in Seaford to Tide Mills before looping back to finish at the Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club where welcome refreshments were available. Although there were no hills on the course, runners were still tested as some devious organiser had even included a stretch of shingle! First across the line in an excellent time of 17:40 was Nick Shasha. First Strider, and second overall was Simon Fletcher in 18:40, brilliant running given that Simon had already run 8 miles prior to the race commencing. Close on Simon’s heals were Gareth Hutchinson, 19:23; Scott Hitchcock; 19:49; Luke Borland, 20:22 and Dave Dunstall 20:31. Striders’ Claire Keith was first female across the line in an impressive 21:26, (also beating her husband Dean and other family members). Junior Striders also competed in the 5K run with Jago Hussein coming in as first Junior Boy in a very creditable 24:35, his sisters Afra, 33:21 (first Junior Girl) and Maia, 34:58 also impressed. Other notable runs included Phil Robinson, 21:33; Christian Morton, 24:55; Joe Plant, 25:12; Wendy
Reed, 27:13; Tom Batts, 28:09; Trevor Jones, 29:05; Andy McDonald, 29:31; Terry Ward, 31:42 and Tom Roper, 32:09. In the 2.5K fun run Chloe Jenkins was outstanding in 16:46 and she was followed across the line by Wilf Tutton in 17:32. Oscar Blackwell, 20:52; Jenson Evans, 21:13; Clayton Page, 21:19 and Charlotte Lyons, 24:06 also put in excellent performances.

SEAFORD BOWLS CLUB Each year Seaford Bowls Club chooses a charity to support during the bowling year. This year the two captains, Colin Turner and Margaret O’Reilly, chose Macmillan Cancer Support. After a variety of fundraising events, including a special charity game followed by a cream tea, and an Olympic day we also fined members for silly actions on our Bournemouth tour. A cheque for £1,000 was presented to Sarah Coxhill, who came to the club and talked about the Horizon centre that has just opened in Brighton at a cost of 3.8 million pounds. People affected by cancer across Sussex can visit here and receive the information and support that they need. The club is very pleased to have raised the money for such a good cause.

SEAFORD KURLERS
Hello Seaford Sceners. October 2016 so soon. Why does life seem to go so fast? Once again an update from Seaford Kurlers. Lots has happened in the world at large and in our club. Locally, we have enough problems just getting around this small county of Sussex. This is especially noticeable if your everyday life revolves around transport. I really hope that someone comes up with a grand solution. As I have mentioned in previous articles, ESDA has been struggling for a long time to try to support disabled people in the area. Most of the groups and clubs of ESDA relied very heavily on their coaching facilities. The loss of the coaching was a very big blow to everyone. All were so well adapted for the use of wheelchairs. Since then the situation has become dire.
success of the club as we have always done. Our public liability is now under Wave Leisure. Everyone is very keen to move forward. We helped at the 2016 Wave Paragames – as usual the event was once again a great success. Long may this event continue. At the moment we are completing the Annual Club Competition and we voted during September, for the receiver of this year’s Bob Matthews Achievement Cup. The cup in is memory of one of the club’s founders – Bob Matthews. The AGM will be held in October as usual. The results for the Competition and the Cup will hopefully be known by then. The elections for the committee members and for any changes in the club will be voted on at the AGM. We now look forward to the future.
Our club membership is £5 per year and weekly subs Following on from a meeting on 24th August 2016 in are £2.50.Your first visit is a taster session. We meet Polegate, of ESDA Directors and members, there was a every Tuesday from 2pm – 4pm at the Downs Leisure vote in favour of ESDA being placed into the hands of liquidators. As I had said in the September artlcle, Seaford Centre. June Wood, Secretary.

Funny Money
at Seaford Little Theatre
Ticket sales open on 14th October for Seaford Little Theatre’s autumn production of “Funny Money”, a comedy hit of the 1990s by Ray Cooney. This show is classic farce in the tradition of other Ray Cooney treats such as “Move Over Mrs Markham” and “There Goes the Bride” that have played to packed houses here in past seasons. At Seaford Little Theatre we like to present a range of genres, but farce is a difficult one requiring precise timing and strong teamwork from the cast. This show was chosen by some of the members of the cast who enjoyed it so much at one of our monthly play readings last year, that they suggested we stage it. The characters are truthful and recognisable, but the situation that develops is out of the ordinary leading to a predicament beyond their control. The resulting chaos should prove hilarious for the audience! The strong cast is lead by Jon Terry as the hapless Henry who picks up the wrong briefcase on the train home one evening. Jenny Humphries plays Jean, his wife, who struggles to cope with things by turning to drink! Sharon Besant and Lee Powney are the friends who become dragged into the rapidly deteriorating situation. Stephen Cowles and Stephen Wetherilt represent the law, with Dennis Picott and Alan Clifford completing the cast. We have a great backstage team to support the production. “Funny Money”, directed by Mary Young opens on Friday, 4th November at7.45.pm. and runs for eight performances. The matinee is at 2.30pm on Saturday the 5th, with evening performances from the 7th to the 12th. Tickets will be on sale at £8 (£7 matinee) from Redgold Opticians in Broad Street, Seaford. Book early and come to enjoy a good laugh!

THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A ROUTINE Having some sort of order in our life adds to productivity and gives us a greater sense of security. As we start to settle into autumn and a new academic year I have been thinking about how important having a schedule and routine is. We feel a sense of security in the familiarity of having a structure to our lives. Even on holiday most of us have some sort of structure, “we have breakfast late before sightseeing and then we lay by the pool and eat out at night”. Even though it is all very relaxing, there is a sort of timetable to the day. Once we have a structure our life makes more sense. Knowing what we’re doing gives us a feeling of ownership; like we’re in the driving seat of our lives. Structure gives our life direction. Lack of direction can make us feel at a loss. When we don’t know what to do, we do nothing. Developing a routine is good for you both professionally and personally. However, it is important that you have a balanced schedule, allowing you to have a good mixture of work and play. With our busy lives it is easy to spend all our time off from work doing chores around the house. Obviously, this is necessary and important but we all need fun in our lives. We need to engage with that young playful child that is within all of us.
Morning routine is important
It sets you up for the rest of the day. It is better for your body clock to have a regular wake up time as it gives you an anchor to your day. Our bodies follow a ‘circadian rhythm’ that relies on consistency. This consistency will actually help you have a better night’s sleep. Don’t feel that having regular sleep time means you have to rise and go to bed early. Some of us are night owls and some of us are early birds, where possible go with what works for you. Some of us don’t have to luxury of waking when it suits us and we have more than ourselves to take care of in the morning. Whatever your situation try and leave enough time so that you’re not rushing and then spend the rest of the morning on the back foot making up for lost time.
38
Make time for your passions
Doing things you love feeds the soul and enriches your life. Your passion doesn’t have to be productive and you don’t have to be very good at it, as long as you enjoy what you do. Making room in your life for your passions will reduce stress and improve your self-esteem.
Make time for friends and family Whether it’s meeting up or chatting on the phone, spending time with friends adds richness to our life. There is loads of research stating the importance of socialising for our mental well-being: it makes us happier, less stressed and gives us a feeling of belonging. As an added bonus; it’s good for the people you engage with too. Spending quality time with loved ones enables relationships to grow and blossom.
Me Time
Whether it’s exercising, reading, listening to music or doing nothing, spend time by yourself to appreciate life and your place in it. We have a built in body clock, we work better when our sleeping, eating, and leisure patterns take place on a consistent schedule. Having a framework to our day gives us security and a reason to get up in the morning. Making time to fit relationships, work, play and alone time into our schedule makes for a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

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.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS
S ki n & L a s e r C l i n i c
The Downs 60+ Club has recently completed a major refurbishment of its Art Studio and is welcoming new members to join its art sessions. The Studio is light and airy, and is ideal for artists of all levels. The club is held in an old flint barn at Sutton Corner, in the grounds of the Wave Leisure Centre, with plenty of parking and close to a bus stop. Spaces are available Monday to Friday from 10 to 12 and from 2 to 4. There is no formal teaching and members simply share their knowledge and experience while using a number of different styles and mediums. The aim of the club is to offer the opportunity to do something you enjoy in the company of friendly people. To find out more, just go along on a Tuesday between 10am and 12 noon, and have a look around. Membership is currently just one payment of £50 a year – less if you join part way through a year, and this covers ALL club activities – not just the art. This popular activities and social club holds a variety of sessions including: Snooker, Table Tennis, Craft and Chat, Keep Fit, Exercise and Dance, Discussion Group, Scrabble and Rummikub, and also has a Choir. Potential new members may go along to two sessions at no cost to see if they like what is on offer before they decide to join. So what are you waiting for? Tel: 01323 896422

End of another Year For the first time in all my years in the chair I can now say that we are almost there. All works on buildings are now completed – at last a Club House of which we can be very proud. The New Charity Shop is now settled in a better custom built site in the Old Wagon factory and the shop volunteers can now work in a warm clean environment designed to make shopping easier for our many regular customers. There is space to move around and check out our huge stock of affordable bits and bobs, clothes and kids toys. Come and take a look if you are in the area – we are still one of the only fully volunteer-run Charity Shops in the area and our low prices reflect this.. The old shop shed is to be replaced by two very nice flats. When all the building works are complete, Medlocks will be sorting out the car park resurfacing and marking out. With an increased use and an expanding client base, we are well on track with our ambition of becoming a Community Centre for Seaford by encouraging children’s parties and other users in the early mornings, evenings and at weekends. Lunch Club is still going strong, thanks to Janet and all the volunteers who make this possible. As always, we are well supported by the Minibus Drivers and Escorts who ferry the Stroke Club and Lunch Club members every week. Volunteer servers and cooks are always needed, and we welcome anyone with any interest in joining this happy friendly group on Tuesdays. We have also given opportunities to people who have various special needs to undertake work experience at the Trust, and gain confidence and experience in a controlled and supportive environment. The new wood-decked garden area was opened in May and gives a tranquil sunny place for our clients to sit; this was partly paid for by legacies from volunteers who have passed away and remembered good times at the Trust. Sadly we lost several volunteers and clients over the year – I am sure they are all missed and fondly remembered. The Trustees have put a lot into the Trust this year, and I think they can be very proud of the results of their deliberations and decisions. A Big THANK YOU is due to all the volunteers who have helped us through yet another year. Thanks also to all the hall users, who support us by bringing their groups to St James’. We now host for our target clientele: Seaford Hard of Hearing Club, Seaford Stroke Club, Various Alzheimer’s
42
groups, Singing for the Brain, Tuesday Lunch Club , Tuesday Art Group, Age UK Toenail Cutting service, NHS Hearing Aid Battery replacement and several one to one counselling and meditation services. Included in our Hall users are: Seaford Hand Bell Ringers, U3A Recorders, Guitar Lessons, various Dance groups, Yoga groups, Pilates,Youth Drama, Art groups, Seahaven Islamic Community, Spiritual Healing plus regular meetings for many local organisations i.e. Birthday Parties for young children, Family parties and many more. The Rotary Club of Seaford uses us for its end of year Tea Party for local Elderly residents. Our wheelchair adapted Mini Bus is available for use by local groups. We have a kitchenette area for use by all hall users at no extra cost, and a large well equipped Kitchen for parties. We are very pleased that we are now in all but name and recognition Seaford’s only proper Community Centre. Catering not only for our target groups of elderly and disabled, but for all ages and many different pastimes and activities. We are still in need of volunteers to give a few hours a week in the Office, Kitchen and Shop, or as a Mini Bus Driver or Escort. If you can cook for 30 people and can spare four hours on Tuesdays we would love to hear from you. If you are keen on supporting charities, we are your local charity dedicated to helping our target group of Elderly and Disabled, in any way we can. To continue we need funds and are always very grateful to receive donations, whatever the size. At the July AGM all the Trustees were voted in for a further year and it was agreed that we need a further Trustee who will be prepared to take on the mantle of Treasurer from the long serving incumbent Jan White. Chairman Bryan Turner will be handing over next year, to James Austin, after nine years in the chair.
If you can help as a Volunteer or are interested in being a Trustee/Treasurer please phone: Viv Reynolds on 01323 492800 for further details. Bryan Turner, Chairman

Three Seafords USA Having planned a three-week road trip this Summer through the eastern US states my wife Carol and I decided, amongst other places (Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Charleston, Williamsburg, Philadelphia), to visit the three American towns named Seaford – one each in the states of New York,Virginia and Delaware. Our holiday started with arrival at New York’s JFK airport where we collected our hire car and drove the 20 miles to our first Seaford. The town (pop. 15,294), is very much a dormitory town for New York City and was founded by early settler Captain John Seaman hailing from our very own Seaford in England. Initially called Jerusalem South the town was renamed ‘Seaford’ in 1868 to honour Captain Seaman. The town lies six miles from the Atlantic coast at Jones Beach where there is a resort boasting six miles of golden sand which attracts thousands of New

Yorkers at weekends and in the holiday season. Seaford itself is a largely unremarkable town boasting a museum, library and a station on the Long Island Railroad. It’s a busy bustling place but the inhabitants we met were warm and friendly and fascinated that we were visiting from their namesake town in Sussex. After two weeks travelling through Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia we arrived at our second Seaford situated on the edge of Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, and close to the historical sites of Jamestown (the first permanent English settlement in America) and Yorktown (site of the decisive battle in the American Revolutionary War). Originally called Crab Neck it was renamed Seaford in 1910. This Seaford is a small village with just one store – the Seaford Country Market – four churches and a pond which puts our own Blatchington Pond in the shade. On our visit the village was very quiet and very hot with hardly a soul stirring. Our third Seaford (pop. 6,928) is on the Nanticoke River in Sussex County, Delaware some 29 miles from the town of Lewes. There is some irony in that this Lewes is on the coast while this Seaford is not! Seaford was once the centre of the US nylon industry being the site of the DuPont Corporation’s nylon plant. On the town crest the town still describes itself ‘The Nylon Capital of the World’ although production was transferred elsewhere some years ago. It is very much a traditional US ‘small town’ with a city hall, a charming Main Street, a museum and riverside walks. The museum, much like our own in the Martello Tower, is a wonderful source of local information and is a repository for all sorts of historical memorabilia. We were fortunate enough to be afforded a personal guided tour of the many exhibits. Our third Seaford was definitely our favourite. We then drove 120 miles north to the lovely city of Philadelphia from where we returned to our very own Seaford, full of wonderful memories of our Seaford odyssey. John Gillespie

MARTELLO ROTARY
Bishopstone Fête & The Martello Fund Day – The Big Weekend!
The weekend of 6th and 7th August was a very busy time for members of the Martello Rotary Club on the Saturday we took the Tavern in The Tent to Bishopstone Fête and were blessed with some lovely hot weather which attracted the crowds. So we had lots of thirsty customers and we ran out of beer before the end of the afternoon! Fortunately other refreshment was available and everyone agreed it had been another very successful outing.
On the Sunday we were in action at the Martello Fund Day at the tower (that’s where we get our name from) together with all the volunteers and officials from the Museum. The Tavern had been dismantled in Bishopstone the previous evening and now magically re-appeared as THE place to go for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. At the end of the day it all had to be dismantled again, and hoisted up from the moat, ready to be packed away again until the next time. This is a well-rehearsed routine but it is a lot of hard work for our members. The overall results from both events meant that we have raised £1,400 for charitable causes, which is an excellent outcome.
Martello Proms Concert – Tickets Available Now Yes its that time of the year again, our hugely successful annual Proms concert is coming up very soon, this will be our 13th year.
Tickets for the 2016 Martello Proms Concert are now available from Newberry Tully at 53 Church St Seaford or by calling 07984 581784 or you can e-mail jackiearkwell@yahoo.co.uk The concert is being held at Seaford Community College in Arundel Road, Seaford on Saturday 8th October at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £10 in advance. Seaford Silver Band will be there, together with Moira House School Junior Choir directed by Robert Cousins, and there will be solo performances by Rebecca Swingle Putland and a few other surprises, so don’t delay, get your tickets now!

The show includes landscapes, portraits and life studies, in oil and mixed media, and ‘celebrates those special times, completely focused on their own work yet aware of each other, communicating without words, inspiring each other.’ – Lindy. Lindy’s work (photo below) rejoices in life, fluidity and movement. Her work includes portrait commissions, landscape and still life. She studies acrobats and dancers in rehearsal and has again been invited to draw dancers with the Rambert Contemporary Dance Company as Artist in Residence at the Birley Centre Eastbourne where she recently held a succesful solo exhibition. Lindy is thrilled to have been invited to exhibit in the Glyndebourne Festival 2016 and to be ‘Artist in Residence’ in Sussex Life. She exhibits in the Affordable Art Fairs in London, also locally and abroad, with her work housed in private collections and John Lewis producing prints of her work. Joseph lives and works in Sweden where, after a series of increasingly prestigious group and solo exhibitions, his career is going from strength to strength. He is represented by Galleries in Edinburgh, Stockholm, London and his home town Östersund. He has also shown in the Affordable Art Fairs in London. Mark making is very dominant in Joseph’s work (photo above). It is free, loose and lively, demonstrating his passion for looking through the medium of oil painting. His searching and masterly paintings are sensitively worked and depict light and form with strength. Seaford Scene is a completely independent small business.

BUSY SUMMER FOR STOREHOUSE
Seahaven Storehouse has been fully occupied this summer, both with providing groceries for those in food crisis, and also fundraising so that the food needed may be on the shelves. However, the Storehouse would like publicly to thank former sponsors STL Planning & Design Solutions Limited of Newhaven, who were very generous in their provision for a year of a monthly sum of money and also a number of one-off payments for specific needs. This proved a valuable regular income which could be turned into supplies to keep the shelves stocked on a regular basis. Managing Director Simon Tucker and his team also got involved with the Storehouse in a hands-on way, and it was a pleasure to get to know them. The folk at the Storehouse were also delighted when Lloyd and Sally Thompson offered to host Cross Way Church’s annual coffee morning in the delightful surroundings of their lovely garden, and give the proceeds to Seahaven Storehouse. A sunny Saturday morning really helped the event go well, and the presence of the Storehouse information board, manned by Kathy and Annie, drew attention from some of the guests. The result... a good time was enjoyed by all, and a generous cheque for the Storehouse was given. Another of those ‘out-of-the-blue’ donations came on a warm Saturday in July when Payne Games held an event in Friston Forest. They had generously provided all who took part with bottled water, fruit, cakes and chocolate, not all of which was used. They thought of the Storehouse, and in no time had delivered four crates of goodies to a member of the Storehouse team ready for the following Thursday morning when the Storehouse opened its doors. So a number of individuals and families received some extra treats in their food parcels that week! The local churches in the area have been most kind in donating regularly, and the Storehouse team is
54
pleased to be forging relationships in various ways with many of these churches. Tina Nixon and Cllr Mark Brown spent a couple of mornings in the new Co-op in Princess Drive, raising awareness of the Storehouse and the collection bin which the manager has kindly allowed to be placed in the store.
Future Diary Dates Tuesday 6th December December is going to be a very active month, with Kay Blackburn, as part of the East Blatchington Lectures series, speaking on ‘Winter Wonderland’. She will take us through paintings depicting winter scenes by a variety of artists down the centuries, and the audience will almost certainly be gripped by her knowledge of, and passion for, art history. Kay is holding this seasonal event in St Peter’s hall, and there will be tea and cake afterwards. All proceeds will go to the Storehouse. More details available nearer the time – watch out for St Peter’s publicity for the event.
Wednesday 14th, Thursday 15th and Friday 16th December Morrisons have been very kind in agreeing that the Storehouse may hold three consecutive special collection days in December. So do look out for members of Storehouse in Morrisons and come and say hello and perhaps put a few extra items in the bin so that those needing food may have a generous parcel to last them over the Christmas period. And lastly, a reminder that you will find Storehouse collection bins in Morrisons, the Co-op in Broad Street, and the Co-op in Princess Drive. If you need to know more, please phone 07921 844930 or e-mail seahavenstorehouse@gmail.com. Photo: Tina Nixon and Cllr Mark Brown in the Princess Drive Co-op.

Seaford U3A has had a busy summer and many of you will have been to the very popular concerts in May: the first by the Seaford Bell-Ringers and the Seaford U3A Recorder Group, and the second by the Seaford U3A Orchestra. Both were enjoyed by those who attended. In the summer we enjoyed an outing to Frogmore House and Saville Gardens in Windsor, as well as our Annual Summer Walk run by Michael Allen. Members met at Rottingdean on a glorious day for the walk along to Roedean and back along the Undercliffe Walk. We are now publishing a bi-monthly information leaflet so that members can find out what’s going on in Seaford U3A. These will be available in the local Tourist Information Centre and Library, as well as at our events. Our monthly coffee mornings will also give you a chance to learn about our future plans.

CHRISTMAS ARTS @ CRYPT GALLERY 2016
26th November – 4th December. Open daily 10.30am – 4.30pm, Sunday opening at 11am Once again we are happy to announce that the Christmas Arts @ the Crypt fair will be providing the opportunity to purchase unusual and original Christmas gifts for family and friends. Seaford has a wide range of talented, creative people who work all year round to produce high quality goods for this show, and in recent years we know that some of you return to see and buy from those who have become personal favourites. Over the past 10 years we have established a reputation for providing innovative, quality goods that are very reasonably priced. To learn more about the artists and see examples of their work you can go to Arts and Crafts at the Crypt on our new Facebook page. For those who enjoy visual art there will be mixed media contemporary designs painted on silk, original paintings, prints and cards by well-known Sussex artists, acrylic designs on wood and canvas, as well as framed prints of local scenes. There will be a unique range of textiles including handdyed silk, and woven scarves and knitwear, plus colourful handbags in recycled and contemporary fabrics. Other textile artists will be bringing their own designs on small items of clothing, T-towels, cushions and lovely handpainted jute bags.
New this year will be driftwood trees, stained glass and small items of renovated and upcycled French furniture. Jewellery is always a popular gift. This year we have several jewellers all with very different styles and using a range of different materials including sterling silver, antique silver cutlery, semi precious stones, crystals and pearls, buttons, beads and enamelling. Local paper crafters have worked all year to showcase their mixed media jewellery, notebooks and other paper-based gifts. There will be a variety of ceramics and pottery for the home as well as hand- crafted beautiful wooden boxes made from a variety of woods. We are very pleased to welcome the return of local artists whose specialities are a mix of fused art glass jewellery, objects and stained glass. There will most definitely be something for everyone. There will be a wide range of Christmas decorations, cards and bunting created by many of the exhibition’s makers alongside our very popular café, where you can enjoy delicious homemade cakes and a hot drink throughout the nine days of the show.
The fair will be announced by Peter White, Town Crier on Saturday 26th of November and will open at 10.30am. We look forward to seeing you there.

For many years, the yellow Brighton Stone truck, registration plate “Ron 4 Rok”, was a familiar sight on the roads of Sussex. Behind the wheel, invariably, was local businessman Ron Beck, a charismatic, slightly eccentric, well-known ex-racing cyclistturned builder-turned rock dealer. Ron had run his business for over 20 years in Newhaven, refusing to give up even when his health was failing. At the beginning of this year, at 82 years old, Ron was still bombing around the yard on his forklift, and delivering rock all over the South Coast. Sadly, he passed away in May after a short battle with cancer. In later years, Brighton Stone had become something of a one-man-band, and when Ron died, the yard was run down and facing certain closure. But his daughter Juliet had other ideas. Juliet says, “I had been living happily in Canada for 12 years when my dad became seriously ill. I decided to come back to the UK to help look after him and to help him with his business. When he passed, I just carried on with it.” Deciding to take on a physically demanding, rundown business that she knew nothing about was something of a challenge. She needed help. Along came business partner,
64
Rob, who has taken over the side of the business that she cannot manage: the physical work. They have spent months cleaning the yard, adding new stock, building an office, installing new gates and generally making the yard customer-friendly. Juliet and Rob have renamed the business “Brighton Rock and Reclamation”, to reflect their vision for the future. They intend to carry on stocking the staples of their business: gravel, pebbles, rockery, standing stones and paving, but with the added bonus of architectural and marine salvage. They currently have an eclectic array of interesting objects including upcycled chimineas, reclaimed timber groynes, lobster pots, the bow of an old fishing boat, old farm machinery, butler sinks, stone pillars reclaimed from a local church, and much, much more. It is worth a visit just to look around the yard. Juliet says, “My goal, with Rob’s help, is to carry on my dad’s legacy, in that I want to provide a friendly, personalised service to local customers who are looking for something special and unique for their home or garden.”
The yard is situated at 17a Avis Way, on the Avis Way Industrial Estate – adjacent to Sainsburys car park. Brighton Rock and Rec is open from Tuesday to Saturdays, 9.30am to 4.30pm, or by appointment. Call Juliet on 07710 892635 or visit the website: brightonrockandrec.com

Seaford Resident Publishes Novel The Ski Lodge A new work of fiction, entitled The Ski Lodge, has recently been published by another of the small but growing collection of authors residing in Seaford. This publication is the debut novel written by Seaford Resident Carolyn Bradley. A light hearted and entertaining Murder Mystery, the story is described as follows: ‘Larger than life Texans, haughty Aristocrats, outrageous Cockneys, crooks, villains and those who are not what they seem to be, thrown together with inept Police in a Ski Lodge, to form a romping ‘Who done it?’

A first review of the book also describes it: ‘A colourful set of characters with comprehensive back stories that give clues to the events that unfold. However the outcome cannot easily be guessed as it contains a clever and surprising twist.’ Carolyn Bradley, now retired, spent most of her working life as a Primary School Teacher in Croydon, Surrey and after first moving to Seaford in 2005, frequently worked as a supply teacher for Seaford Primary School until 2010. Leaving the town for a short while, she is now back and determined to continue her long put off writing career. As a busy teacher, most of her work to date has been in the form of short stories or plays both for adults and children but she hopes to now continue to produce more novels. Stories that keep you guessing and have a twist are her forté. The Ski Lodge started life as a radio-style play and was successfully used in an amateur performance. Realising that there was scope for so much more with both the characters and the plot, Carolyn re-wrote and embellished the story as a novel which is now available in paperback and as an E reader. She hopes to publish her next book The Yacht, next year. The Ski Lodge can be purchased from Amazon as both an E reader at £1.99 or a paperback retailing at £7.99. The paperback version can also be purchased from other online bookstores including Lulu.com ISBN: 978-1-326-71978-4

Rotary Club of Seaford
Boot, Craft & Produce Fair
The weather for the Rotary Boot, Craft & Produce Fairs in 2016 continues to be changeable. On the Saturday before the August fair, the sky was all blue, and on the Monday after it was also blue, but on the Sunday of the Fair the morning dawned grey with drizzling rain. This weather did not however deter many stall holders with nearly 50 setting up to sell their wares. They were joined by a new refreshment stall holder in addition to the Barista coffee van. The rain stopped by the time that the public arrived at the Martello fields and although the mist returned to obscure the view of Seaford Head, the weather remained warm and a good sized crowd came to explore the offerings from the various stallholders. It may be that the size of the crowd viewing the stalls was enhanced by the Fun Day at the adjacent Martello Tower at which free access to the museum was on offer. The Rotary stall appeared to be very popular with the tables deflecting under the weight of the goods on display, having to be restocked from the reserve stores. Goods on offer on various stalls included a complete drum kit, a large framed mirror, a wooden child’s high chair with a tray, wooden chairs, as well as items more commonly found at a Boot, Craft & Produce Fair such as clothes, plants, jams and other preserves, garden tools, books, children’s toys and collectables. Despite the unfriendly August weather, the Fair was considered a success with over £600 being raised towards funds to be used for local charities. The last Rotary Boot, Craft & Produce Fairs in 2016 will be held on 2nd October also at the Martello Fields.

contributing to the Games, we can offer our community the opportunity to experience and participate in a wide range of different and new sports and activities, make new friendships and reinforce existing partnerships.” Paula Woolven, Community & Communications Manager at CTLA commented, “CTLA is delighted to help ensure the participants of the Games can reach the event by providing free transport for the day.” After the morning competition, everyone enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch and chatted about the different kinds of activities they would like to see at the 2017 Games. The Games’ ended with the highly competitive and anticipated Wheelchair Slalom. Robbie Weston left the competition far behind and won the 2016 title. The day came to a close with an Awards Ceremony, where The High Sherriff for East Sussex, Michael Foster, presented competitors with certificates and medals.
National Youth String Orchestra
Bethany Geoghegan attended the National Youth String Orchestra (NYSO) Summer course for which she received sponsorship from Rotary Club of Seaford. The 10-day course was held in late July at Harrogate Ladies’ College and the Purcell School of Music. Everyone had the music to practice since Easter and were well prepared with notes and fingerings learnt so that the musicality and overall expression of the pieces could be focused on in rehearsals. Rehearsals were for 8½ hours each day split evenly between sectionals and full orchestra rehearsals, and including an hour’s private practice. The tutors gave insights into playing and posture as well as the specifics of the pieces. The amount of work in full rehearsals by everyone was phenomenal, and it showed in the standard, which was the highest known in a youth ensemble. The course included talks about pacing oneself how to peak during concerts, and how to combat concert nerves, which is incredibly useful for the future. Rehearsals from Thursday to the Tuesday were intense, with the first of four concerts on the Wednesday in which the orchestra played three pieces in a lovely Harrogate church. Next morning, the orchestra travelled to Cambridge for a concert in the Cambridge Summer Music festival at the Trinity College Chapel. After the concert, everyone was buzzing with the adrenaline, which was helpful, since they had to travel by coach to
the Purcell School, London, where they would be spending the rest of the course. The rehearsal and concert next day was in St James’ Church, Piccadilly. The tutors came along to the concert, and all of them said it was the best they’d heard us play. The next day, the orchestra journeyed to Cirencester, Gloucestershire to play in Cirencester Cathedral at the Three Choirs Festival, the oldest festival in Britain, which was a huge privilege. Bethany has learnt much from the course, met many lovely friends, and had the experience of a lifetime. Bethany said that she ‘loved every second of it and would do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much to the Rotary Club for giving me the opportunity to have this brilliant experience!’ Photos left: The Boot, Craft & Produce Fair and the new refreshment van; Seahaven Para Games and l-r Duncan Kerr, CEO Wave Leisure, Bill Pierce, President Seaford Rotary Club and Michael Foster, High Sheriff of East Sussex.

Are you a car owner/driver with occasional free time on a Monday afternoon? The Seaford Stroke and Caring Club desperately needs volunteers with their own cars to transport our members to and from the local venue or act as escorts on our minibus where no driving is required. It would only be once in every four weeks, but this generous help would ensure that we can continue and do not have to leave anyone at home. A mileage payment is available.

East Blatchington Lectures
Happy Shirley
The season of East Blatchington Lectures, which has now been completed for the year, has registered another impressive success, raising £1,500. They are held at St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford, to whom the money is given. The lectures were given by Kay Blackburn, the art historian; Rosemary Leech, who described the scandalous life of the author George Sand; Nash Robbins, co-owner of Much Ado Books, Alfriston, talked about the delights, and challenges, of running an independent bookstore; the former MP of Lewes Norman Baker recalled his time as a Government Minister; and the Rector, Canon Dr Andrew Mayes, chose for his subject his latest book, Learning the Language of the Soul.

The Enchanted Violin Celebrated musicians Sebastian Comberti, cello, and his violinist wife Kate, having recently taken up residence in Bishopstone are already exploring ways of making high-quality music more widely available in the Seaford area, especially to younger age groups. By way of a ‘curtain raiser’ and with the accompaniment of a narrator, they will be giving two performances of the magical story of The Enchanted Violin in St Andrew’s Church, Bishopstone in the afternoon and evening of Sunday 30th October. This piece of musical theatre is particularly suitable for children, especially at Halloween, as it tells the story of a king who is about to go to war and who asks his three beautiful daughters what they would like him to bring back from his conquests. One asks for a magnificent diamond, the second for a fabulous gown of pure gold but the third simply asks for an Enchanted violin. How the king fulfils his daughters’ requests and finally finds a young prince to marry the youngest is a truly romantic and magical tale. This is very much a family affair and children are encouraged to bring at least one parent. Tickets for a family of four will cost only £12 (individual adults without children £5 each) and will be on sale in early October from Newberry Tully Estate Agents, 53 Church Street, Seaford, from Jim Taylor on 01323 490038, and from info@enchantedviolin.co.uk

On a beautiful summer afternoon, Saturday 13th August, on Chyngton Green, the group called Eclectrix put on a free performance of country, gospel, folk, rock and blues music. Chyngton Methodist Church organised the event and provided refreshments and doughnuts. They also had a Punch and Judy Show and other entertainment for the children. Around 120 people stopped by, many sitting and enjoying the whole Community event between 3 to 4.30pm. The ice cream van added to the feeling of a great holiday atmosphere. We also had the added spectacle of several groups of planes passing over us on their way from the Eastbourne Air show. On 11th September Eclectrix also put on a celebration event for local residents, organised by Seaford Baptist Church at the Walmer Road Recreation Ground alongside the portacabin. Seaford Baptist Church want to use the portacabin more to serve the local community. It’s called ‘The Living Room’ and during the last two weeks of August the Youth Team held a variety of exciting children’s activities. During the autumn term we also intend to run an after-school club on one evening a week.

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN & SEAFORD LIONS CLUB We have had quite a busy couple of months, so busy in fact that I did not have time to put an article in last month, partly working for the Lions but a holiday got in the way as well. So I have two months to report on. Our new Lions year started on 1st July and so we had a Changeover Lunch at the Seaford Golf Club. This was very enjoyable, more so for me because after two years I was able to pass the Chain of Office to our new President Lion Dirk Smit (photo above). Congratulations Dirk and I hope you have a very successful year as president. Dirk was immediately thrown into the role with a presentation of a season ticket to a family for Spring Barn Farm. One of the children has Angleman Syndrome which involves a lot of one to one care and so visits to places like Spring Barn Farm are extremely beneficial to the family as there is something for all the children. I would like to thank Spring Barn Farm for generously donating one ticket free of charge to the Lions and the family. Thank you. (photo left). We spent most of August selling programmes for our Donkey Derby. I would like to thank all our advertisers for their support in advertising with us, all who sponsored a race or a donkey and all those who bought a programme. The day was not the glorious summer day the forecasters had promised us and this unfortunately affected the numbers attending. We nearly had to cancel it as our First Aiders could not attend but fortunately Seaford Lifeguards stepped in to cover us. Thank you Seaford Lifeguards, a large donation will soon be on its way to you. In spite of all this I think a good time was had by all and about £5,000 was raised for the local
community. We were also able to present a cheque of £250 to the RNLI Newhaven (photo right). Unfortunately Lions Club numbers are down on what they once were and we are all getting older, so we have relied a lot on family and friends to help out at this big event. This help is much appreciated. We finished of the summer with a very enjoyable barbecue at the Immediate Past President’s house which was attended by over forty members and friends of Lions. Work, fun and service – come and join us. If you are interested in the Lions and the work we do give us a call on 0845 833 5981 or look at our website www.npslions.co.uk 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.

Seaford Musical Theatre
Calamity Jane
With a whip and a crack we were away, galloping at breakneck speed on the Deadwood Stage, once again trusting our lives to Calamity Jane. For director Paula Woolven was bringing back the western extravaganza to the Barn Theatre for the fourth time, and to her credit and that of her talented cast, it was more energised than ever. The show belonged to the exuberant Donna Bull as Calam, in full command of the stage as she swaggered, thigh-slapped and used her huge voice to convey the power of this woman who must have so shocked the American Mid West of 1876. But it was in the second act that she played for broke and won, portraying the softening of her character with a touch that allied sensitivity with slapstick, and we all loved her stripping off unaccustomed finery to caper around in drawers and stays. But I’m writing this as if this musical was hers. In fact it’s ultimate success was down to the foil of the rest of the
cast, notably led by Jack West as Wild Bill Hickok, whose performance as the cowboy with whom she had a fabled love-hate relationship born out of competitiveness was a sweet counter to her uncertain temper. West, who has a great voice, seemed physically to grow as our Jane wrestled with her nascent feminine side. We were all delighted by their pairing in the songs I Can Do Without You and Finaletto. After all the publicity shots I was mildly disappointed not to see Newhaven’s spirited mayor ride onto stage on a horse as Lieutenant Danny Gilmartin, but Steve Saunders can certainly act and sing. He got lucky to be romantically coupled with Gemma Albrow whose lovely voice made a sweet Love You Dearly duet with her earnest partner. Steve Llewellyn as Henry Miller played the Golden Garter’s saloon keeper with gusto; all that was missing from these scenes was a swing from a chandelier over the audience. As it was we were treated to a provocative but funny can-can from the resident girls and screamingly funny burlesque from the inventive Samuel Eaton whose Hive Full of Honey went down a storm and attracted saloon keeper’s daughter Susan, prettily played by Tanieth Kerr. Stephanie Verrall as singer star Adelaide Adams sang my favourite, It’s Harry I’m Planning to Marry, with wit and neat timing. And for sentiment, the torchlit The Black Hills of Dakota was a tear jerker. Saloon bar characters were played well by Robert Horscraft, Christopher Gable, Sarah Eaton, John Walsh and John Tester, with Gary Robertson as the Colonel, and Cath Brooks, Sue James, Cherry Newby, Angie Wright, Dani McDonald, Kika Green, Phil Armstrong and Gary Robertson provided texture. But the biggest round of applause must go to the band comprising Wendy Hammond, Tony Still, Andy Harsant, Sue Buckler, Darren Vassie, Paul Boswell and Margaret Farmiloe. I sang Windy City all the way home. More! More! Andrea Hargreaves Please recycle this magazine when you have finished with it.

Local writer and artist, Gazman E Long
Local writer and artist, Gazman E Long, has recently published three of his books. He writes regularly and has had several short stories published in the past. In the humorous novel, In Search of the Timid Tree Trout, protagonist Boston McLeash faces a life-changing quest when he receives an unusual and unexpected inheritance. With a dazzling fish scale and a dusty map he sets out on a dangerous journey to the far-off island of Karambap. His mission is to save the Timid Tree Trout from extinction. The inspiration for the book came whilst Gazman was travelling through the jungle in Sumatra and observed many beautiful and unusual creatures. The novel is home to many fictitious creatures and environments, as well as characters such as the wily Mrs Tarpool and her giant sidekick Dreyfuss
NOW OPEN
Greyhuss, who all conspire to try to prevent Boston from completing his mission. The book has been described as having the humour of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett and will appeal to anyone that enjoys their books. Angus and BoonKa Save the Dinosaurs (But Wreck the Kitchen), is the first in a series of adventure books starring young Angus and his alien friend BoomKa. In his natural state BoomKa’s appearance is similar to that of an electric blue blueberry. However, his ability to be able to disguise himself as any nearby object means he rarely appears like this. Angus finds this annoying as he keeps losing him. BoomKa takes Angus on the adventure of a lifetime, back in time to see the dinosaurs, but with disastrous consequences. This book was recently awarded four stars in the Wishing Shelf children’s book awards and is suitable for any 7-8 year old who enjoy stories about dinosaurs and also likes to learn about them. The third book, Tihuahica’s Mask, takes the reader to Mexico and the experience of an archaeological expedition. This Children’s book features Bellamy Drake and his sister Lucy as the protagonists. They have accompanied their father on an expedition to find an ancient mask in the Mexican jungle. The book is best described as a cross between Scooby Doo and Indiana Jones as Bellamy and Lucy help their father solve the mystery of what has happened to the mask, and expose the gang that is trying to beat them to it and sell it on the black market. Along with the action the reader will find many facts about Mayan civilisation. Gazman has long been fascinated by this and uses his knowledge to inform the story. Gazman is currently working on the follow up to In search of the Timid Tree Trout which takes Boston Mcleash on an even stranger adventure. Professor Avalanche and the Pandemonium Orchestra should be ready for publication early next year. For more information on each of the books visit www. heygazman.com They are also available on Amazon in both paperback and kindle versions.

Waste No ’Nanas
by Juliette O’Vegetables
This month, I have another guest contributor. Encouraged by the return of ‘The Great British Bake Off ’ and last year’s winner, Nadiya, my wife Juliette has hijacked the column and banished me to the pub. Every cloud... Julian Cooking meat and fish is all very well, but some of us girls like cake. This is one of my favourites. It is a recipe by Rosemary Wady and uses those bananas that have gone a bit too brown and squidgy for the fruit bowl. It’s a shame to waste them, so mash them up with some dried apricots and nuts to make a deliciously moist teabread. Here’s how::
Banana Loaf
Makes 12 slices
Ingredients
175g dark soft brown sugar; 125g butter; 2 eggs; 250g peeled ripe bananas (2-3 bananas); grated rind of 1 lemon; 2 tsp lemon juice; 250g self-raising flour; ½ tsp ground cinnamon; ¼ tsp baking soda; 90g no-need-to-
soak dried apricots or prunes, chopped; 60g walnut pieces, c hopped; icing sugar.
Method
Grease and line a 23 x 12 cm loaf tin with greased greaseproof paper or non-stick baking parchment. Cream the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy and pale in colour, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Mash the bananas with the lemon rind and juice. Beat into the cake mixture. Sift the flour, cinnamon and baking soda together and fold evenly into the mixture, then add the chopped fruit and walnuts. Turn into the tin, level the top and bake in a preheated oven at 180°c for 50 minutes or until firm to the touch and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Before serving, sprinkle with icing sugar. This cake freezes very well when wrapped in foil and will keep its flavour for three months or so. Enjoy!

The Synergy Theatre The Synergy Theatre kicks off its 2016/2017 Season with a wonderful romp through American society by bringing Boston Marriage – David Mamet’s witty comedy of sexual manners – to The Clinton Centre this October. Anna and Claire live together in Victorian Boston, Massachusetts, in a house of some style and elegance. Anna has been given a large and expensive jewel by her lover. Claire wants to take a lover. Catherine, their maid, is not sure what her Dear Auld Granny would make of this – nor is she responsible for the recent Irish potato famine... Described by the press as ‘devastatingly funny... exceptionally clever’ (The New York Times) and possessing ‘...a wit akin to characters out of Wilde...’ (The Boston Globe), this cutting and delicious satire on social mores is the perfect antidote to the wet October weather! Once again, we will be holding a pre-performance tea on Friday, in the company of the cast, which will begin at 6.30pm. Tickets for ‘Anna & Claire’s Party’ will be £14 (£12 concessions) to include afternoon tea. Come and
meet the cast before they entertain you for the evening! Pre-booking for ‘Anna & Claire’s Party’ is essential – please contact our Box Office, who will be happy to provide further details. As ever, this Synergy production is directed by David Parton and he has assembled a first-rate cast of local actors to make you giggle, gasp and guffaw! Boston Marriage runs from Wednesday 26th – Saturday 29th October, at 7.30pm. Tickets, £10/£8 concessions, are available from the Company’s box office on 01273 301444, from Newberry Tully Estates, by email on boxoffice@ thesynergytheatre.co.uk or through our website, www.thesynergytheatre.co.uk.

A Seaford Garden at The Crypt Gallery Eighteen months is a long time, in any world not just as they say, in politics. In the Seaford art world it is bringing changes as the Crypt Gallery becomes a trust, the gallery being leased by the council to a charitable trust formed by the Friends. Eighteen months is a long time in any world, and in my world it has seen me break free of type 2 diabetes (you can do it through diet), beat cancer (you can do it with the help of the NHS) and now struggle to defeat kidney damage. Eighteen months in which painting has provided a solace and refuge for a battered body but a resilient mind. Eighteen months is how long since my last show at the Crypt, and now I am preparing to welcome you to see the 30 pieces of new work completed in my Seaford studio since then. Inspired by my garden flowers which entice me from my studio with their glorious dancing colour and scents, the gallery will be filled with colour for this new show, called, appropriately ‘A Seaford Garden’. Poppies, geraniums, windflowers explore colour and space. Interlocked with the grid of experience, they shift and move, creating jewel like experience of colour illusions. Painting is after all about creating the illusion of space, of another reality. Unable to reproduce the scent I have tried to reproduce the seductive colour contrasts that hopefully will please you in the way that the real flowers dazzle and attract the bees.

Seahaven Hard of Hearing Club At our September meeting we welcomed back Joanna Wilkins from the Sussex Archaeological Society. This time she brought along many items of interest, as her talk was on ‘bygones in your attic’. Vintage kitchen utensils, tools, gadgets, games and clothing were all among her fascinating array of ‘things of yester-year’. Many club members remembered using such items and one even declared that she was still using some of them! Hopefully, Joanna will be back next year with another one of her interesting talks. Unfortunately we have had to cancel our club meeting in October, but in November we should be having a talk from a representative from Blind Veterans UK, formerly St Dunstans. New members are always welcome to the club and/or lip reading classes, Come and join us! Phone Pauline, 01323 895216 for more details, local transport may be available.

Dawn started the quilt, ‘My English Butterfly Garden’ in January of 2015. She explained, ‘The plan was just to create a pretty quilt...it then took on a mind of its own and was soon growing with flowers and butterflies! Each rosette has been fussy cut from a huge variety of fabrics. I’ve kept the colours as light and bright as possible! It can take 4-5 hours to piece one of the smaller rosettes...and all of this by hand!’ The original design is called La Passacaglia by Willyne Hammerstein and appears in her book Millefiori Quilts. Published by Quiltmania in France, it is the publishers that are putting together 20 of the best of these quilts, and are putting on a special exhibition at the International Quilt Festival in Houston to showcase the unique style! A few years ago Dawn also started a group for like minded people to share their love of English paper piecing. The group meets once a month and it’s all about sewing. Dawn also makes curtains and blinds for the Foam & Fabric shop in Broad Street, Seaford.

HOME SWEET HOME Buying a property should be exciting. Not exhausting.
All too often, the prospect of dealing with the ‘conveyancing bit’ of moving home can be a little bit daunting. At QualitySolicitors Barwells, we believe it can be better than that. We think the whole process should be made as straightforward and painless as possible. You should be kept right up to date with what’s going on, in everyday language, rather than ‘lawyerspeak’. And you should be kept informed of the cost all the way through the process. In fact we don’t just think it we do it.

The Secrets Behind a Successful Sale In last month’s Seaford Scene Andrew promised to let you into the secret behind a quick, successful sale of your property. Being a man of his word here it is. He said: “The biggest secret is also the biggest mistake a lot of people make when selling their homes. It’s very easy to be swayed by an agent who comes in with a valuation of your property a lot higher than others. “As tempting as this future promise of extra pounds in your pocket is there are a couple of questions to ask yourself. Why is the valuation so much more than the others you’ve received? What evidence does the agent have to PROVE their valuation is accurate or at the very least realistic? “Overpriced properties don’t attract the right level of interest and attention. More often than not they get stuck on the market which eventually leads to price reductions.” Which leads us nicely onto a second point Stephen would like to make on the subject of reducing the sale price of your home. He added: “We never advertise price reductions and rarely ever need to drop the price of property on our books as we take care to value it accurately the first time round. “Advertising a price reduction dramatically reduces the home owner’s chances of getting the price they desire as people look at properties with price cuts and think a) What’s

Andrew Tully
wrong with it? And b) The homeowners will be open to offers (which sometimes can encourage ‘silly offers’ way below even the reduced price). “The now not so secret formula is to get the valuation right at the start of the selling process and a price reduction shouldn’t have to happen. Over valuations and price reductions are a vicious circle which can be avoided.” Thanks for reading, Andrew and Stephen PS: We offer totally FREE inventories on properties we let and manage. PPS: Look out for next month’s article where Andrew Tully tells you the secret to a fast, successful sale.

Seaford Tree Wardens
Autumn Colour
Although trees may be starting to loose their lush green summer hues, and drop their leaves, there are some trees putting on a colourful seasonal display. Keep an eye out for these stunners this autumn.
Common Beech (Fagus sylvatica)
Native to the south of England, the Common Beech has small oval leaves that turn a lovely rusty brown colour in the autumn. Young trees don’t drop their leaves in the autumn, instead keeping their copper hued foliage until the new green spring leaves emerge. This phenomenon can be preserved by trimming the Beech into a hedge, which provides good screening and interest all winter.
Red Maple (Acer rubrum)
Introduced to the UK in the 1600s, the Red Maple’s palmate leaves turn a spectacular crimson shade in Autumn.
Common Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus)
This species is another which is native to the south east of England. Come autumn its wide spreading branches are adorned with golden amber leaves.
Silver Birch (Betula pendula)
The Silver Birch does produce attractive yellow leaves in Autumn, however its true beauty comes from the contrast that it’s golden leaves provide with its elegant silvery white bark.

Goosebumps: Be careful what you wish for by RL Stine
It’s Halloween this month so we have a classic Goosebumps book especially for children. Samantha is a bit of a klutz: she trips over, drops things, and despite being tall, can’t manage to shoot on the school’s basketball team. As if that weren’t enough she is picked on by the popular star of the basketball team, Judith. One day Samantha decides that she has had enough and a chance meeting with a strange little woman in the rain gives her the opportunity to get her revenge. Granted three wishes in return for helping the woman Samantha thinks she knows exactly what she wants to wish for. But, as the title says, she learns that you do indeed need to be careful what you wish for as the outcome may not be exactly what you imagined it to be. A great scary read for pre-teen readers this is another instalment of the successful Goosebumps series. The chapters are short with plenty of cliff hangers to keep you reading and a spooky ending that reveals revenge can never be sweet. By Willow Coby

Seahaven Lioness Club Seahaven Lioness Club’s last fundraising event was a sell-out success with more than 80 people enjoying the ‘posh afternoon tea’ at Seaford Golf Club on 16th August. Although the club closed at the end of June, members decided to ‘go out on a high’ by hosting the tea in aid of the Newhaven and Seaford Sea Cadets. Lt.

Pat White, the club’s last president, presented a cheque for £200 to Lt. Carol Rogers (photo above). The £500 proceeds from ticket sales and raffle will also be donated to the cadets. The ‘Posh Afternoon Tea’ (photo left) was organised by Maggie Chitty and fellow Lionesses who made all the cakes as well as donating raffle prizes. Other prizes were donated by friends of the club and local businesses. In 23 years the club raised more than £118,000 for charities, organisations and individuals in Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford, as well as for Lions national and international appeals.

SEAFORD INNER WHEEL
Visit of District Chairman Aileen Hargreaves
At our August meeting Andrea was delighted to welcome District Chairman, Aileen Hargreaves. She was accompanied by her mother-in-law, Dorothy Hargreaves, who had transferred to Oxted & Limpsfield Inner Wheel; Aileen joined her in 2010. Until her retirement she had been a nurse at East Grinstead District Hospital. She had been inspired by the Istanbul International Convention. She has been President of her small club several times. Aileen’s motto for the year is “keep the wheels turning”, and in her modest yet energetic way she is an inspiration to the club. Photo of Andrea presenting Aileen Hargreaves with an orchid.

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.
