June – a month packed with Seaford Events!

time to build a car as quickly as possible, as well as Cadet drills and a display by Seaford Lifeguards.

Seaford Town Council saw a month packed with events in June, starting with the Mayor’s Garden Trail, followed by Sussex Day and moving on to a packed weekend starting with Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces Day, and finishing with Motorfest!

Seaford Town Council would like to thank all the volunteers, sponsors, stall holders and those involved in displays for supporting the event.

Seaford Town Council would like to thank all those who attended Sussex Day. On Sunday 12th June, the Mayor of Seaford Lindsey Freeman raised the Sussex Flag to celebrate the rich heritage and culture of Sussex. The Town Crier Residents and visitors were also able to wish Her Majesty the Queen a very happy 90th birthday.

For more information on these events and regular updates, please check out Seaford Town Councils website, www.seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk. Or alternatively contact Seaford Town Council either via email: admin@seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk or phone: 01323 894870.

Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces Day was a great success, with good weather, a military parade and vehicles and lots of exciting displays.

The event was opened by Seaford’s Mayor, Councillor Lindsay Freeman, who said “It was a real honour to be asked to open the Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces Day. I very much enjoyed meeting all the Veterans and Cadets and was very impressed by the march past, faultless. I was so glad the rain kept off for most of the time and the short shower we had did not deter any of the assembled troops. I wish all the Cadets a long and happy future and I hope they continue in the Cadets. My thanks go to the Veterans for their attendance and I wish them well for the future.”

The Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces Day is organised by Seaford Town Council alongside Royal Society of St George who organised the parade and hospitality. Spectators enjoyed music from Seaford Rock and Jazz, a fantastic display from Kitkar who raced against

Motorfest followed Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces Day and saw lots of classic cars and Motorcycles on display, as well as a variety of amazing live music.

Seaford Bay noted for its excellence!

Seaford is a rural beach, rather than resort beach, but still boasts two refreshment kiosks, public toilets, a voluntary and nationally recognised lifeguard team that operate throughout the summer weekends, three miles of undisturbed shingle beach, an easy access promenade and water groyne, an RSPB viewpoint, Seaford Museum, access to walks across Seaford Head to the east and the historical Tide Mills to the west, ample free parking and just a short few minute walk to the town centre and local parks.

The Environment Agency carry out weekly bathing water samples and also undertake field observations, noting the presence or absence of certain items such as sewage-related material, litter, excessive seaweed and algal blooms. With the exception of a few recorded items of litter, the records for 2016 for Seaford Bay show none of the items mentioned above as being found on site. All of the samples taken within 2016 have been consistent with the Excellent classification at Seaford. More information on the Bathing Water Directive and Seaford Bathing Water can be seen on the Environment Agency’s website at http://environment. data.gov.uk/bwq/profiles/

If entering the water, be sure to be safety conscious – during summer weekends the lifeguards will fly advisory flags regarding entering the water, but during the week individuals must use their own discretion.

Seaford Bay is well used in the summer months, especially when the temperature rises, encouraging beach users to have a dip in the sea to cool down.

Seaford Town Council is therefore thrilled that Seaford Bay has maintained its classification as Excellent under the Bathing Water Directive.

Dog walkers are also advised to take note of the signage on the promenade regarding Dog Walking Byelaws in effect on the beach from 1st April to 31st September.

There is also signage regarding Pleasure Boat Byelaws; please be sure to familiarise yourself with this before using any sort of pleasure boat in the bay.

Families, couples, fishermen, water sports enthusiasts, walkers, dog walkers and swimmers alike can all enjoy the Seaford Bay! Em

Seaford Museum Fun(d) Day 2016 Seaford Museum’s annual Fun(d) Day will take place at the Museum on Sunday 7th August, in partnership with Seaford Martello Rotary, from 11am until 4pm.

“We call it our annual Fun(d) Day because we hope it will be a day of fun for our visitors, our stallholders and our volunteers, but also because it has an important role in our annual fundraising,” explained Kay Turvey, the Museum Chairman. “We are very fortunate to have received two substantial grants, from the Keith Baker Will Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund to help pay for our exciting improved access project, but on top of that we also have to raise the money needed to pay for the normal regular bills to keep the Museum up and running,” she added.

Seaford Museum is based in the historic Martello Tower 74 on the seafront in Seaford and is one of the town’s leading seafront attractions. The building is owned by Seaford Town Council, who generously lease it to the Museum Trustees for an annual peppercorn rent. However, all the stewarding, management and maintenance is undertaken by a willing group of museum volunteers. Even so, it is estimated to cost around £35 a day, each and every day of the year, to meet the routine running bills, all of which has to be raised by the Museum.

“But it’s not enough to stand still and just wait for visitors to come to the Museum,” said Kay Turvey, “we have to work to update and improve our exhibits so that there is something new to see every year. Recently our volunteers have rebuilt several of our shop tableaux and display cabinets as well as re-labelling many of the artefacts on show. As a result a number of local Seaford residents have visited the Museum for the first time in a while have been pleasantly surprised by the improvements. But even with all the labour being provided on a voluntary basis, it still costs a lot for materials. We recently had a bill for just under £500 for timber to re-model our schools and toyshop area.”

The Fun(d) Day is a vital opportunity to top up Museum funds. Entrance on the day will be free to everyone, although the donation buckets will be on hand to receive contributions from visitors. Seaford Martello Rotary will be providing

refreshments in the Moat at reasonable prices; there will be a number of stalls offering a range of interesting items and there will be entertainment, also in the Moat.

It will also be an ideal opportunity to walk around the Museum and see the changes, including a recently updated Owl Trail for children.

“It surprises me to hear from time to time that there are people who live in Seaford or nearby who have never been into the Museum, despite its prominent position on the seafront,” added Kay. “The Fun(d) Day is a good time to remedy that: We hope visitors might consider becoming a member of the Museum, even become a frequent visitor or possibly a volunteer to help with the good work!”

SUMMER OF SPORT

Denton Community Challenge Saturday 11th June 2016

Once again the weather was kind to both organisers and participants, so everyone enjoyed a sunny day with our biggest ever turn-out of nearly a thousand local people!

The theme this year was ‘Summer of Sport’ to reflect the forthcoming Olympics, Euro 2016, the Rugby Internationals and Open Championship of Golf. This year 45 local sports and social groups were represented and a dozen of them ran ‘sporting challenges’ around the arena, all of which could be enjoyed by the younger attendees for a nominal charge. On completion of the challenges the participants claimed their ‘Summer of Sport’ rosette provided by The Royal Society of St George, and also a certificate before enjoying a free burger from the 2nd Denton and South Heighton Scouts BBQ. The certificates were issued courtesy of Active Sussex, who once again supported everyone’s effort this year. Around 200 Scorecards were purchased this year!

It was a pleasure to welcome Maria Caulfield MP, the MP for our Lewes constituency, who has been taking a real interest in local communities. Our VIP guest, together with Councillor Paul Boswell of Newhaven Town Council, helped with many of the afternoon’s attractions and seemed to enjoy the day as much as anyone! Maria opened the event formally and welcomed everyone.

There were performances and displays in the arena from Denton School Choir, Scriven’s Martial Arts, Earthquake Drummers, Seaford & District Dog Training Club, Norcross Dance Centre, featuring local young people of all ages, Seaford Musical Theatre Singing Princesses and Z-Energy Zumba. We had a new and delightful feature from Duende Flamenco Dancers which was very interesting. Both male and female participants of all ages performed this great art, and the dancing was appreciated by everyone.

16

The ever-popular Tug-of-War competitions closed the arena activities.

Crossfit Corinthians men’s and women’s teams both won their respective events against the Earthquake Drummers. We would really like more teams next year...surely Rugby Clubs and other clubs should be able to put out a team or two!

Side shows and games were provided by Newhaven Cricket Club, Newhaven Tennis and Bowls Clubs, Newhaven Indoors Bowls Club, South Heighton Bonfire Society, Connor Saunders’ Football Foundation, Crossfit Corinthians and others, who all used the day to raise much needed funds and promote membership. Fête stalls and attractions were provided by other local groups and many charities, including JDMF, HCPT (a charity that raises funds to send sick children to Lourdes), Remember Spencer, Just Owls, Meeching Amateur Dramatics (MAD), The Kitchen Garden Company, SCDA, DASH Football, East Sussex Fire and Rescue, IMAGO – Young Carers, Presentable Pooches, Tickles Face Painting, and Miranda Bearns-Lowells and her tie-dyeing.

Once again there was the very popular and thrilling bungee trampolining, and pony rides for younger people.

Running alongside the sporting activities was a Craft Fair in the Denton Community Centre. The Raffle prizes were drawn in the main arena by Councillor Boswell who awarded the magnificent first prize of an Apple iPad Mini, kindly donated by Keep It Clean Ltd., to local winner Paul Giles. There were a further thirty plus prizes in the mega raffle.

The afternoon was drawn to a close by Rev. Louis Wilson, Rector of Denton Parish Church, who thanked everyone who had attended, together with the many supporters and volunteers who made the day possible!

The organisers would like to thank everyone associated with this, the fifth successful DCC. It could not take place without the sponsors, local businesses, stallholders, volunteers, St John Ambulance, South Heighton Parish Council and Newhaven Town Council. Thanks go out to all of them for helping the organisers plan another successful, happy and inclusive day.

Tricia Gostock (Secretary) and Cliff Dargonne (Chairman).

ALL CHANGE Coping with the uncertainty of a messy and unpredictable world.

Well, what eventful and historic times we’re living in.

Whatever way you voted in the recent referendum, the whole process has rocked our island and as we face our new future I have been struck by how the unknown impacts on us. Uncertainty is an uncomfortable feeling. In his ‘Inferno’ Dante’s first circle of hell is ‘Limbo’; a rudderless place of uncertainty. The unknown can be a very scary and anxious place. In reality, of course, none of us can predict what’s going to happen and the future is always unknown. There is a well-known phrase that the only certainty in life is the uncertainty.

I have been looking at ways in which we can manage the stressful effects of unpredictability.

BE ACCEPTING

Accept that life is unpredictable and stop striving for perfection and order. There is no perfect look, job, relationship. Life is messy. Of course we all need some planning in our life, but manage your expectations. If you always expect the worst then your life will be very gloomy. If you create a vision that’s hard to live up to then you are more likely to be disappointed.

Get rid of ‘should’. When you let go of how you think things ‘should’ be you open yourself up to more exciting possibilities and opportunities.

ANCHOR YOURSELF

Hold onto the things that you are surer of. When you focus on what you can’t control, you can obsess about the pitfalls and possible disasters ahead of you.You are too busy to look at what is happening in the here and now. Instead of appreciating all the good things that you have in your life today, you lie awake worrying about what might never happen tomorrow.

What lies ahead might not be easy but trust that you will deal with it when it comes. Actually, whatever the ‘it’ is could help you to grow and realise potential you never knew you had.

22

FEEL WHAT YOU FEEL

Acknowledge how you feel. We are often told not to feel uncomfortable feelings like anger, fear and sadness.

However, they are part of life. Knowing how we feel is knowing who we are, and that can be confirming and grounding. It also helps to deal with what’s really going on. If we know we are afraid, we can ask ourselves what we’re afraid of and separate out the reality of the here and now instead of indulging in the fantasy of the unknown.

Helping people cope with change is a big part of what I do for a living. I never underestimate how difficult it is to change. It often feels easier to stick with the familiar, however destructive and terrible it might be. They know how to deal with their present situation but to suggest change is to suggest a leap into the unknown.

Over the years I have witnessed clients take that leap, some have found wonderful new pastures, some have tried and failed new things, but they generally have a better relationship with themselves and, in turn, richer lives. They didn’t sit around hoping that someday life will become certain and map out a path for them; they had the courage to create their own journey.

Life is a glorious jungle of unpredictability. It is full of joy, sadness, excitement, danger, celebrations and disappointments. It is a cocktail of surprises. We live in a mad, uncertain world; accept the chaos and ground yourself by holding onto the real positives in your 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.

Seaford Striders Summer Solstice Run – 22nd June 2016

Over 50 junior and senior members of the Seaford Striders Running Club came together on Wednesday for their annual Summer Solstice race. There was a choice of either a 3K or 5K distance, both of which started from the Sailing Club.

Walkers along the promenade turned into spectators, many cheering and adding words of encouragement to the runners. Thanks to the Sailing Club Commodore and Tom Roper, the Striders and their families were able to enjoy food and refreshments in the clubhouse following the race. The Seaford Striders have always welcomed new members of all ages and abilities. There is a strong contingent of juniors and the senior club has a wide range of ages and abilities, from teenagers to runners in their late sixties, proving that age need not be a barrier to keeping fit and healthy.

30th anniversary Celebrations FUN RUN

With the Seaford Striders Running Club soon to reach their 30th anniversary, they will begin their celebrations by hosting a 5km fun run (and a 2½km run for young runners) on Saturday 3rd September.

The event will be open to past and present members, as well as all local runners. Both distances will start and finish near the Sailing Club and make use of the interesting and varied terrain of Tidemills.

The entry fee will be £3 for seniors and £1 for junior runners. Entry forms can be obtained from the Seaford Tourist Information Centre, Intersport, and Newberry Tully Estate Agents. Local runners can contact the Striders on their website info@seafordstriders.org.uk for further details.

28

The senior club meet at the Downs Leisure Centre on Mondays (except 1st Monday of month) and every Wednesday at 7pm. On 1st Monday of the month the Striders meet at the Lewes Running Track 7.30 – 8.30pm. The annual membership costs just £16 for an adult with a reduced rate of £8 for unemployed, retired members and juniors. Each evening contains a structured training session, whilst still catering for mixed abilities.

Whether you are a dedicated runner or someone just starting on the road to greater fitness you will receive a warm welcome. http://www.seafordstriders. org.uk/Newsite/; https://www.facebook.com/SeafordStriders-184950041545372/; https://twitter.com/ seafordstriders

Bewl Water 15 Miler

Three Seaford Striders took on one of the most demanding races of the Sussex Grand Prix at Bewl Water near Wadhurst on the Kent/Sussex border.

Unique for its 15-mile distance the scenic route is basically a clockwise lap of the reservoir incorporating 3 notable hills and is superbly organised with numerous water stations and efficient marshals.

The first mile is downhill on rutted fields before a mixture of testing undulating paths, sometimes adjacent to the water and testing forays into the surrounding hills on country lanes. The route finishes with a mile long uphill slog.

The winner was Rhys Boorman (Hastings AC) in 1:28:53 in a field of over 700 runners. First for the Striders was Scott Hitchcock who knocked out a stunning course PB of 1:48:25 (PB – personal best) followed by the flying Phil Robinson who came home in 2:02:40 and Claire Keith who did a fantastic course PB, recording a cracking time of 2:07:53*. Say’s Claire “I knocked almost 4 minutes off my PB – mainly down to the fact I wanted to make sure I finished while there was still plenty of cake left at the finish line.”

activities for all ages. They also run remedial classes there. Like us, the staff are all very friendly and welcoming.

Your first visit is a taster to see if you like us and the sport and is free of charge. Thereafter it is £2.50 per Tuesday with an Annual Membership fee of £5. We aim to have an Annual In-house Tournament and we have trips out as and when we can arrange them.

Bringing body and mind into balance How often do you feel things are moving too fast and there isn’t enough time in the day? What if there was a way to slow things down and create some space in your life?

The connection between our body and mind is something we can easily forget when we’re caught up in our busy lives, feeling physically tired and mentally stressed. But it’s at these times when finding this connection can bring us the most benefits.

And this is where the practice of yoga can help.

The benefits it brings to the body are well known: strengthening muscles, increasing mobility and improving core strength amongst many others. But sometimes the way the physical practice translates into mental wellbeing can be lost.

Breath control is a key factor, restoring the natural rhythm and helping us to let go of tension. Not only does this allow much more freedom of movement but it also focuses the mind and brings a sense of calm and stillness.

Touch is a very powerful element in this mix, and using hands on assists in a yoga class can transform the experience. By having your awareness brought to a particular area of your body it can help you to let go of resistance and relax the muscles.

This goes even further when we move into massage.

By helping the body to rest we are giving it time to heal and repair itself, improving the functioning of the circulatory system and removing toxins. But by working on the nerves, we are also improving our sense of wellbeing.

Together, the two disciplines of yoga and massage can help us to maintain a healthy body and a happy mind.

from Artwave regulars, Driftwood Garden, winner of Artwave Favourites Award in 2015, as well as from the team at Stafford Road Open House. There are two different shows at Arts@the Crypt gallery; the first, a photographic take on life from Seaford Photographic Society, and the second, an eclectic mix of work from Seaford Art Club. Blossom House is bursting with paintings, and Kathy Dawson Ceramics of domestic stoneware and garden pots, are two new venues for 2016. The Splash Point Studio with work inspired by nature and another new addition, Maison Cinq Studio, showing different art media, complete the Seaford Trail.

Don’t just stay in Seaford though, as there is lots more to discover in nearby Alfriston, Aliciston, Litlington and Firle, as well as along the coast in Newhaven and Peacehaven, not forgetting the Lewes Trail of course, just a short distance away.

Please do vote for your Artwave Favourite Artist, and Venue – it’s great for them and great for us too, to know what you’ve enjoyed in the festival. Find your voting slips in brochures, on line and at the venues.

Seaford Art Club at Artwave 2016 Seaford Art Club are pleased to take part in the Artwave Event for the first time. The Club which was founded in 1954 is one of the oldest art clubs in the area and has held its annual show at the Crypt Gallery for many years. The flint and stone walls of this 13th century vaulted undercroft provides an atmospheric and wonderful backdrop for art.

Jeremy Sales, chair of Seaford Art Club said, “Seaford Art Club is proud to continue to help support the Crypt Gallery, which has recently achieved charity status and is such a valuable asset to the locality.”

Many regular visitors to the gallery look forward to this exhibition, which offers an annual splash of colour with an eclectic mix of affordable traditional and contemporary art.

In addition to the artwork shown at the Crypt Gallery, Seaford Art Club is also showing a collection of work throughout August and September in the entrance to ‘The View Restaurant’ (Seaford Head Golf Club, Southdown Road, Seaford) where you can take in the superb views over Seaford Bay and enjoy a cup of coffee or a bite to eat.

Seaford Art Club is a very friendly and social group comprising both inexperienced and more established artists. The club’s aims are to develop all forms of fine art, bringing together people who are like-minded and wish to work in a wide variety of media. Most, but not all of the members have had some kind of tuition before they joined. Some of our current members have taught

The club’s programme is varied, providing opportunities to draw or paint new subjects and experiment with different techniques and styles. There are also coffee mornings, trips to outdoor locations (in summer) with day excursions to major galleries with members’ partners or friends involved where possible.

Driftwood Garden – Artwave Driftwood Garden in Bishopstone, takes part in Artwave for the 8th year running this month. Back in 2009, from humble beginnings, with just two artists and sales of £604, the venue has gone from strength to strength.

Back then, visitors could vote for their favourite venue and Driftwood was voted Best Open House, in both 2009 and 2010. The competition ceased and was reinstated in 2015, when Driftwood was, once again, voted Artwave Favourite Town venue by its visitors.

Venue owners, Mark Glassman and Geoff Stonebanks, have steadily increased the number of artists on show and this year there will be 14 taking part. They range from Mark’s stunning paintings, exhibited in his garden studio, beautiful ceramics, glass through to innovative garden sculpture and plant supports. If the last two years are anything to go by then they can expect to sell in excess of £12,00 of art over the three weekends.

The real icing on the cake for the venue is it’s ability to raise funds for charity too! Geoff persuades artists taking part to donate a piece of their work for a raffle, in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. This year’s prizes total over £700 in value. Over £5,000 has been raised in this way for the charity in recent years. Not only that, the garden venue serves Geoff ’s home-made tea and cakes, and proceeds also go to Macmillan. Last year, he sold an incredible £1,200 of tea and cake over the three weekends of the festival. So, there are three good reasons to visit Driftwood during this year’s festival.

Buy great art, win great art and raise money for a great charity into the bargain. www.driftwoodartwave.co.uk Seaford Scene is a completely independent small business.

SEAFORD & DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY www.seafordhorti.com

A view from the Potting Shed

The creation of a British horticultural Society was suggested in 1800 by John Wedgewood with modest aims, which he discussed with several friends. Members of the society would be encouraged to present papers on their horticultural activities and discoveries, discuss & publish their results, and prizes would be awarded for gardening achievements. The Horticultural Society of London (HSL) was finally founded in 1804 and gained its Royal Charter in 1861, it then took the name Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).

DAHLIA

Dahlias are one of the most popular garden flowers seen in summer, a herbaceous perennial plant native to Mexico with 42 different species. Flower heads can be as small as 5cm or as large as 30cm in all shades of colour except blue. The dahlia was brought to the UK in 1802 by English nurseryman John Fraser who in the following year had them flowering in his greenhouse. Much work has gone into Dahlia propagation to develop the different varieties we have today. In Central America several dahlia cultivars are grown for their tubers from which a mocha-tasting extract is taken and used to flavour beverages. Prior to the discovery of insulin, inulin, a naturally occurring fruit sugar was given to diabetics, it is still used in clinical tests today. In 2015 there were 16 exhibits of Dahlias in the show within the 6 classes available. 2016 has the same 6 classes to show off these colourful popular flowers.

The RHS is of course well known for its shows, the most famous starting 103 years ago in May 1913 at Chelsea.

Seaford’s show then has been going longer than those at Chelsea but cannot beat the start date for shows that started in 1833. Another note on Seaford’s show is that it is one of the biggest in Sussex.This year it is to be held on Saturday 13th August and is open to visitors from 1.30 - 4pm at Seaford Head School, Arundel Road. All are welcome to view the exhibits, enjoy refreshments and visit the various stalls set up. Sylvia Reeve to d

o

The HSL’s first garden in 1818 was in Kensington, with the second 3 years later in Chiswick – this was on land leased by the Society from the Duke of Devonshire’s estate and was to be an experimental garden. Fêtes

were held there in 1827 and from 1833 shows were arranged which were to include competitive classes for exhibiting flowers and vegetables. The Chiswick Garden was maintained until 1904 by which time the garden at Wisley had been bought by Thomas Hanbury and presented to the RHS.

A

ugust at the height of summer is when Horticultural Shows start happening and Seaford’s this year is its 114th – is this a record?

JOBS TO DO IN AUGUST

3 Cut out old raspberry canes to soil level as

soon as all fruit has been picked. New canes which will bear the fruit next year can be supported by tying to horizontal wires.

3 Prune lavender as soon as flowers fade but do not cut into woody stems as these will not produce new growth for next year’s flowers.

Boost the plants with some liquid fertiliser.

3 Harvest onions as soon as foliage dies down and allow them to dry on the soil and/or in the greenhouse if weather is wet. Foliage & roots can then be removed ready for storing.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD The Horticultural Show is the one event for August and all details of this & how to exhibit in the classes & take part are on the website seafordhorti.com

Seaford Gardening Club The club’s final talk on 29th June was by Kevin Gordon and entitled ‘The Quirky Tales of Lewes and Sussex’. As usual Kevin kept us amused for over an hour on some very unusual tales listed below.

Have you ever noticed the sundial in Steyne Road, Seaford (photo) where numbered tiles are embedded around it and wondered why they were there? Apparently the sun casts a shadow pointing to the correct time in the area – a mystery solved for me!

The Red Lion pub in Willingdon got its name from George Orwell’s book ‘Animal Farm’ which has a red lion as one of its main characters. On the wall of the Wish Tower in Eastbourne there are several metal tiles set into the wall showing different sets of letters, eg. HCS meaning it was a hackney carriage stand, BCS (bath chair stand) and GCS (goat chaise stand).

In Rottingdean, near the pond, there is a warning sign showing a duck and the words ‘Beware – keep clear, these creatures bite!’ The Blessed Virgin Mary church in Clapham, West Sussex has an unusual set of tiles depicting archangels designed by William Morris which were only discovered in the 1960s during restoration work – well worth a visit.

The Star Inn in Alfriston has several quirky items written on the outside walls, plus a red lion-shaped

ship’s masthead. While renovations were being carried out in Winton Street during 1912, 160 graves were discovered in the Sanctuary. There is also a wooden crucifix on the roadside (rare in this country).You can also find ancient stocks located at several Sussex churches.

A very strange monument dedicated to Mad Jack Fuller stands in Brightling Churchyard. It is shaped like a pyramid and was built to enable his body to stand upright. When it was renovated some years ago it was discovered he had been buried 6 ft under – just like anyone else!

In St Peter’s Church in Seaford there is a memorial plaque to Henry Coxwell, a famous balloonist who saw his first balloon flight at the age of nine, when he watched Charles Green ascend from Rochester through a telescope.

By 1852 he had become one of the country’s leading balloonists.

Mrs Fowler Tuck, a Lewes councillor, was disgusted by the rather large nipples of an angel on the new War Memorial so she ordered that workmen be sent to file them down with sandpaper as they appeared too realistic and racy!

In Bramber museum was one of the weirdest animal tableaux created by Walter Potter, even one of red squirrels playing cards and stuffed cats at a tea party!

Near the Cuilfail tunnel entrance in Lewes stands the Snowdrop Inn, so named after a snow avalanche in December1836. In Littlehampton there is the longest bench on the seafront which even curves round seats, rubbish bins etc.

My favourite oddity is a real china teapot situated on the roof of the Sussex Coaster pub in Peacehaven.

Apparently the landlord did not offer refreshments to the workmen while they were constructing a new roof so they pinched a teapot from the restaurant and cemented in a prominent position on the roof for everyone to see – still there to this day.

This was a wonderful talk to end 30 years’ of Seaford Gardening Club social evenings! A final report will be prepared once the club’s financial balance is complete and decisions made to distribute remaining monies between eight charities chosen by members at an extraordinary general meeting, held in April 2016. A final audit will also be completed. Anne Silk

Anybody got a good recipe for green tomato chutney?

Because if the vandals who broke into Seaford Community Garden last month have any remorse they will be putting the spoils of their fun night out to good use and turning our purloined produce into something delicious. The betting is that anyone so brainless as to rip off fruit from the vine won’t have a clue how to make chutney, though they could use some of the water they ran off from the water butts… Anyway the following day saw Dave and other volunteers remaking a door to the poly tunnel, repeating work that had been done a month before that. Still, as all gardeners know, when faced with havoc wreaked by weather, disease or, as here, pests, you just have to note the big problem, swallow hard and get on with it.

And here at the Crouch there’s much to celebrate. The roses on the arbour and in the beds are splendid, thanks to careful pruning last year and rigorous dead-heading now. With the poly tunnel nearly sorted – just the pea shingle to go around its edge – the plants that border its exterior can be returned from their temporary relocation in the children’s area, and thought can be given to the possible making of raised beds on the old sandpit for the kids to look after.

Meanwhile Katie and Allison have been busy sorting and tending plants both for sale, and for re-potting and propagation.

An important purpose of the garden is education, sharing our knowledge with everyone, volunteers and visitors alike, so we are delighted to welcome people young and, er, not so young. We opened for the Mayor’s Trail and overall this was the most successful ever, so a big round of applause to Geoff Stonebanks for organising it. At the time of writing we were looking

forward to welcoming groups from Chyngton primary school and to opening our gates as part of the Macmillan Coastal Trail.

Allison and Ana attended a great get-together for gardeners, a pre-trail party in Sheila and David Thomas’s lovely Lullington Close garden where lots of tips were exchanged. And we want to hear your tips too, so please come in and see us at the Crouch on Wednesday mornings from 9.30 until 12.30 and, during the produce season, on Saturday mornings from 10 until noon. And, despite those stupid nitwits who broke in, there should be no shortage of juicy, ripe red tomatoes on our burgeoning sales table!

SEAFORD CHORAL SOCIETY

Our Centenary Season 100 Years on the Seaford Scene – and Still Going Strong!

The Society is delighted to be celebrating its centennial year and proud to be upholding and continuing the fine tradition of choral singing in Seaford.

There was a Seaford Choral Society in existence from 1876 to 1878 but this was dissolved when its conductor, Dr JC Sanger, went to live in Lewes. Another group called the Seaford and Blatchington Choral Society was evidently active in 1895, the conductor being Mr Scudding, with Miss Farncombe as accompanist.

Our present-day Society was founded in 1917 by Mr Francis Foote ARAM of Tunbridge Wells and he remained the conductor until the outbreak of World War 2. He also

conducted choirs in Heathfield and Eastbourne, as well as Tunbridge Wells Choral Society. It was reported by the Kent and Sussex Courier in June 1923 that as he “had brought such beautiful music to Seaford as to make him a necessity to them personally and to the town generally”, he was presented with a crocodile skin wallet containing 10 guineas in appreciation.

Francis J Foote The choir at this time was a traditional choir as opposed to the community choir it became after World War 2, and in 1929 singers interested in joining the Society were asked to write to Mr Foote at the Aeolian Studios in New Bond Street, London where they were expected to undergo a rigorous sight reading and performance audition!

In the thirties, the choir was also conducted by Mr FA Stammers. Throughout the past century, Seaford Choral Society has been blessed with a number of able music directors, mostly current or recently-retired school music teachers and organists, all of whom have brought their individual styles to the choir. Anna Tabor is our present music director and continues to influence, challenge and engage the choir in choral singing across the broad, diverse spectrum of classical works.

Our season kicks off on Saturday 26th November with our Autumn concert in St Leonard’s Church. Details of the programme and our celebrity guest soloist will be announced soon, but please put the date in your diaries, this will be a splendid concert! Not to be missed.

COF F EE SANDW

A celebration for The Downs 60+ Club

how impressed she was with what had been achieved.

On 25th June close to 100 club members and guests attended a party at The Downs 60+ Club to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Club.

A display of pictures and information about the club’s history was on show, together with a booklet covering the 50 years of the club. All of this was compiled

by Sheila Barnard, a past Chair of the Club. There followed a sixties-style buffet, together with songs from the sixties by the Club Choir and a Line Dancing demonstration by club members. An Art Competition was won by Judith Batey. Overall a very succesful celebration of 50 years in Seaford.

Located next to the Leisure Centre in Seaford, this activities and social club for the over sixties was founded in 1966 and today has more than 170 members.

It was originally started and run by a number of different welfare groups as a social meeting place for older people and back then the annual membership fee was just ten shillings – 50p in today’s money. Currently it is £50 for a year’s membership.

Bob Derbyshire, Chairman of the Club, opened the afternoon by welcoming members and guests and talked about the development of the Club and its importance in the community. This was followed by a toast to the Club

by Shirley Wallas, a longstanding member and former President of the Club. On behalf of the guests, our local MP Maria Caulfield congratulated the Club and said

evening

The Club provides a range of activities including Keep Fit, Exercise and Line Dance, Art,Table Tennis and Snooker with something happening six days a week.

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN & SEAFORD LIONS CLUB We are getting busy now the summer is here, both with social and fundraising events. If you would like to help, why not give us a call,? We are always looking for new members who don’t mind a bit of hard work, lots of fun and the feel that we are making a change by helping somebody. Come and join us.

We had a wonderful dinner meeting at the Moorings, Pevensey Bay. This is only the second time we have strayed out of our area for our dinner meeting and we will probably do it again. June is the end of the Lion’s year and so it is all change. Sunday 24th July will be our changeover meal and the start of a new Lions year.

Our new president will be Lion Dirk Smit, Dirk has been with us for the past eight years. For the past few years he has been organising our minibuses and the old people’s spring and autumn outings.

We held a successful Book Sale at Paradise Park – thank you Paradise Park for your help and support.

The Lifeboat Fête at Newhaven was held on Saturday

S. J. Hampton

2nd July on the riverside and we had a glorious day. We raised about £200, which will all go to the Newhaven Lifeboat. Well done everyone involved.

During the last year the Club, with all your support, has raised about £15,000, less than previous years because of the washed out Donkey Derbies. Much of this has been returned to the Community in grants to the elderly and the youth mainly. We have supported various Scout and Guide Groups and Sports Clubs. We also run two minibuses which Community Groups can borrow (see details below).

Talking of Donkey Derbies our next one will be the Seaford Donkey Derby, Bank Holiday Sunday 28th August 2016. Programmes will be sold around the houses during August.

Please give generously as this is one of our major fund raising events and without the funds we will not be able to serve the community.

The day is one of enjoyment with all the fun of the fair, stalls and of course donkey races with a tote.

Come and have fun. Events start at about midday, with the first race at 1pm. We hope for better weather this year, last year wasn’t too bad once the early rain had cleared, but this day it will be wonderful – hats and sun cream!

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.

We really do mean FREE and NO obligation Having a chat with an estate agent might be your idea of hell. In fact you might prefer to go to the dentist. But in fact most estate agents are decent and hard working, and like nothing more than helping people.

On the subject of help we’re often contacted by people asking if we charge for telling you what your property is worth? No, we don’t. Just like the best things in life, our appraisals are totally free of charge and of any obligation.

There are many reasons you may need to know what your property is worth, and not necessarily because you are selling it or even thinking of selling it.

These reasons can include seeking advice before you commit to a big refurbishment and feeling confident that the money you’ll spend will give you a decent return. Other reasons include rewriting wills or exploring the possibility of a remortgage and wanting to know your home’s worth before the lender sends in their valuer. Other people looking at their pension pot may seek a valuation, as they want the most up to date picture of their prized asset’s value. You may even be simply curious about what your home is worth in the current and fast changing market.

We’re always delighted to give you an honest, expert and experienced valuation on your home.

Estate Agents Winner of the Seahaven Business Awards Environmental Business of the Year 2016

Stephen Newberry

Andrew Tully

Why do we do it? Well, we are in it for the long haul and professional, no obligation, totally FREE market appraisals are just one way of building long term and mutually beneficial relationships.

Thanks for reading Andrew and Stephen PS: Whenever an agent gives you a valuation, for whatever reason, ask for comparables. Anyone can pull a price out of the air but producing evidence of similar properties, like yours, that sold successfully separates the wheat from the chaff.

PPS: We won’t do valuations for building insurance purposes though, as this is to do with rebuilding costs (if your house burns down, you still own the land) and is not within our field of expertise. Interestingly, a mid-terraced house tends to cost more to insure than an end terrace, because of the added costs of getting access for rebuilding.

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.

Newsletter Summer 2016

Welcome to the Summer Newsletter, we hope you find this useful and informative.

Welcome from The Chairman Many thanks to our members for continuing to support S&BNHW. The committee is especially grateful to our co-ordinators and delivers without whom we could not offer the service that we do. We have had a good response to our Spring newsletter and our membership continues to flourish.

The committee apologises for the late delivery of the newsletter which was due to some technical problems which we have now overcome. We had a stall at the Motorfest where we were able to talk to the residents of Seaford about what NHW does and handed out some freebee alarms and other merchandise.

We have kept our subs at the same level as last year and have used some of that money to renew or replace our NHW signs in Seaford. Our next meeting is an open meeting, replaces the police panels which have now been discontinued. It is being held on the 26th July at St Leonards Church Hall starting at 7pm.

Please come along and support our Association.

Regards from Mark Brown, Chairman

Crime Prevention We are concentrating on the Summer burglary warnings including advice such as: If you leave a room unattended close the windows and doors, especially on the ground floor If you leave your house empty, even to go in to the back garden close all doors and windows and make sure fanlight windows are closed Keep all wallets, purses, credit cards and keys out of sight If you want to leave a window open while you are asleep, have window restrictors fitted to

• • • • 72

prevent anyone from climbing in If your home has an integral garage, make sure the garage and the door to your home are both fitted with secure locks Double check fences and boundaries to keep burglars out Secure garden tools and ladders in a locked shed to prevent them being used to break into your or your neighbours home Consider laying down gravel on your path or driveway to prevent burglars even approaching your property Fit outside security lighting and a visible burglar alarm to deter burglars

• • • • •

Some statistics concerning home security

Co-op Insurance are sponsors of National Neighbourhood Watch and recently carried out a survey of 2,000 of their policy holders with the following surprising results: 32% have left windows wide open when they have left home.

13% have left a front or rear door open when they have left home.

21% have left keys in full view of doors and windows.

22% do not turn on their Burglar Alarms.

12% leave their garage unlocked.

15% leave spare keys in a hiding place.

9% post their whereabouts on Social Media when away from home. In addition, we know there are also quite a few situations where people leave their cars unlocked with sometimes windows open, whilst on their drives, both during the day and overnight.

• • • • • • •

You can draw your own conclusions from this survey, but each of the above could result in an opportunist burglary at your home, so we urge you to review your own practices regarding your household security habits.

Seaford and Bishopstone Neighbourhood Watch Association ‘Promoting Good Citizenship, Neighbourliness and Crime Reduction.’

Police Report From 4th July the Neighbourhood Policing Teams for Seaford, Newhaven and Lewes will be based at Lewes Police station. This means that there will no longer be dedicated teams for any of the three towns as there are at present. This should mean that we are always in a position to respond to neighbourhood and anti-social behaviour incidents across the District. The Police station as it is will not be closing and the Enquiry office will continue to be open weekdays 10am to 2pm. Officers both from the response teams and Neighbourhood Policing Teams will continue to use the building. I will be sharing responsibility for issues across the whole Lewes District with my colleagues Sergeant Dave Pye and Sergeant Jenny Abura. However, I will still be responsible for neighbourhood policing in Seaford, but will be sharing that responsibility. Please still feel free to contact me with any issues that you have as you do at the moment. At this time none of us quite know, what, if any difference this re-organisation will have, but the expectation is that it shouldn’t and that the lack of a dedicated Seaford Team will be off- set by the fact that District Neighbourhood Policing Officers and PCSO’s will be working every day, which is not the case at present.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Town Council and Council staff for their help and support over the last 3 years. During that time I have built up good working relationships with many of you and hope to continue these as we move into the future.

Regards Stuart Mullins, Police Sergeant

A very noisy peaceful protest Sleepy Seaford is not known for militancy. But after suffering months of cancellations and delays to its rail service, then having a new time-table imposed by the operator, Southern Railways, involving most trains being replaced with buses, residents decided they had reached the end of the line.

Following a social media campaign, a protest took place at the station early in the evening of Tuesday 12th July.

Police and a TV crew attended as a good-natured crowd of all ages, some banging drums and blowing whistles, many holding placards, chanted: ‘We want trains!’ Passing motorists sounded their horns in support and the protesters cheered and clapped in response. Friends, neighbours and complete strangers swapped tales of travel woe above the din. Some rail-replacement buses arrived at the station, the alighting passengers looking decidedly grumpy.

One young protester, Lachlan Hawes, told me that although school was now over for the summer, he had many problems last month getting to school in Lewes to take his GCSEs. With trains being cancelled at very short notice, and his English GCSE scheduled for early one morning, his family had to ask an elderly family friend to standby to drive him.

Lachlan’s mother, Mary, told me: ‘I’m looking for a new job at the moment, but my search areas are drastically reduced because I can’t trust Southern to get me to work and back home.’

Seaford residents rely on their train service, many travelling as far as central London to work. The expense and time taken are offset, in normal times, by the advantages of living in a quiet little town by the sea.

It’s time that Southern, the RMT and the government stopped blaming one another for the mess and thrashed out a solution that will give Seaford the train service it needs.

The guests were invited after suggestions were received from the local community and the Children With Cancer Polegate charity. The party attendees had their faces painted by the Snow Queen, met Superheroes and Princesses and enjoyed a buffet lunch prepared by Havens champion baker Marilyn Nolan, B.E.M. Hilarious entertainment and magic were provided by award-winning children’s performer, Tomfoolery.

Seaford children’s charity, Teddy Treats, run by Brenda Madden Edwards, provided gift bags for all the guests at the Barn Theatre, Seaford, and asked the children to nominate a ‘treat’ they’d like to receive after the party.

The party was funded by a sponsored ‘Shave Santa’ event, where top Father Christmas entertainer, Robert Horscraft, removed his white whiskers for the summer months and from the proceeds of a variety show performed by fifty members of SMT Juniors. Another ‘Just Because’ party will be held in November and donations toward the next party can be made at https:// localgiving.org/fundraising/smtjuniors

Rotary Club of Seaford

Donation to Waves (Family Support) Seaford

President Peter Fenwick visited the Waves Seaford dropin centre in Church Street, Seaford on 8th June 2016 and presented the President’s donation of £1,000 to the charity’s Secretary Cathy Finch.

Waves Seaford provides practical ways to enable families in Seaford to re-build their lives, offering help and support as they face changes and new directions in life, and provides support when they feel utter hopelessness.

The charity strives to make a real difference to the lives of the many people who are ‘at risk’ in the community, who so often fall through the net of statutory provision.

Waves works with families in all types of areas including mental health, domestic abuse, parenting, relationship breakdown, bereavement and child behaviour.

Peter Fenwick said that one of the goals of his Presidency was to help local disadvantaged people by providing funds for those charities who provide support to help those with problems. In addition to Waves Seaford, to meet this goal, donations have also been made to Seeability and Children with Cancer. The charity’s Chair John Hughes said that the donation was ‘wonderful nothing short of wonderful’. He continued that ‘to have funds provided from local organisations like Seaford Rotary Club from funds provided by the local community makes you feel that it is a community commitment to help those families who need support.’

The charity employs two part-time family workers and a part time Administrator, who supervise a team of approximately 25 volunteers, who work either at the Church Street centre, are listeners in primary schools or provide help to families in their homes. The charity works closely with, and receives much support from the four primary schools in Seaford, as well as the primary school in Alfriston, and the one secondary school within the Seaford community.

The WAVES drop in centre was opened in April 2007, in the centre of Seaford at 8 Church Street (opposite the police station). The Centre is a clean, comfortable safe place for families to meet, with comfortable sofas, a play area, changing facilities and refreshments.

86

The Centre has been invaluable to those who have felt isolated in the community. It has given those who come an opportunity to meet others in similar situations and form friendships, as well as providing them with the confidence that is needed to integrate into the community.

There are always at least three volunteers on hand to help and assist, as well as providing a listening ear for any that are in need of extra support and guidance. The work by the charity was recognised at the SPARKS Award 2016 on 10th May at the Winter Garden, Eastbourne when ‘Waves Family Support’ was the winner of the ‘Advice and Guidance’ award.

Safety in Action

During half term week in May, the annual Safety in Action programme for Primary Schools in the Lewes District Council area was held at Newhaven Fort in which 804 year 6 children from 24 schools took part.

Seaford Rotary Club has supported this event for many years by sponsoring the prizes for the winning school and the winning team. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service oversaw the overall organisation of the event for the first time having taken over from Sussex Police.

The programme covered Public Transport, Fire, Railways, Electrical, Water, First Aid, Alcohol, Cycle, Road, and Personal Safety.

Each school entered teams in the competition and each team was required to provide answers on ten different aspects of safety. At each stand, the teams were given marks for their ability to learn from the information provided and to respond to a variety of questions with a maximum of 20 points available in each category.

On Wednesday 8th June President Peter Fenwick visited

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

the winning school and team to congratulate them on their success and to present them with their prizes. The best school overall was Barcombe Primary school who received a cheque for £250 and the Rotary Club shield.

The two teams from the school scored an average 189 points out of the maximum 200 available.

The winning team was from South Malling Primary School, Lewes. The school received a cheque for £150.

Their score of 194 points was the highest ever recorded throughout the many years Safety in Action has been running. They lost the odd points on cycle safety and first aid – but still received high points in these categories.

All the children (and their teachers) confirmed the continuing value of this event in putting over to them so many important aspects of safety in such a short timescale, and confirmed that they enjoyed taking part in the competition.

Young Artist of the Year 2016

Following the successful competitions for Young Musicians, Young Photographers and Young Writers, the last competition in this Rotary year for Young Artists has now been completed. Competitors were required to prepare a painting, drawing or collage which explored an example of ‘Life Around Us’.

Representatives from Seaford Art Club judged over 30 entries in four age groups of under 7, 7 to 10, 11 to 13, and 14 to 18, and commented on the high standard and the thought and imagination which had gone into many of the entries. The judges took into account the degree of creativity and originality, the quality of execution, the way the task was represented, and the overall impression of the work, in reaching their decisions.

The number of prizes awarded for each group reflected the different number of entries between the groups.

The winner of the Under 7 age group was Callum Terry, with 5-year-old brother Maxwell highly commended. Both Callum and Maxwell attend Seaford Primary School as does Rida Muhamed Rosalie, the winner of the 7 to 10 years’ section. The runners up in this group are all pupils at Annecy Primary School.

with Holly Harman taking first place in the 11 to 13 group, with Lily Harman and Freya Whitelaw runners up.

Libby Furminger took top honours in the 14 to 18 group.

Prizes were presented by Rotary Club President Peter Fenwick, who thanked the Seaford Art Club for all their help in staging this competition for the first time, the Seaford Library for allowing the Club to use their facilities both to collect entries and award the prizes, but most of all the young people who had taken part. He hoped that they had enjoyed the opportunity to enter this competition and that it had helped to further their interest in this medium.

Seaford resident publishes his first children’s adventure novel, Swanage Gold Secret clues, hidden codes and long-lost treasure When an antique watch gives up it’s clues, Jake and Becky have no idea where it will lead them. They are being watched by a criminal mastermind who won’t give up until they’ve been silenced. It will take luck, cunning and every drop of their courage to unravel the mystery of the Swanage Gold.

Even though you may have visited Swanage, you may not know about the unique history and artefacts that John Mowlem and George Burt brought to the town (two well known Victorian businessmen from Swanage). Many old London landmarks found their way to Swanage following the construction work that they were involved in. For example, the Wellington Clock Tower that has stood proudly near the lifeboat station once adorned the approach to London Bridge in the 19th Century. The granite obelisk on Ballard Down once stood in the City of London, not far from the Bank of England. As well as building the first pier and bringing a reliable supply of fresh water, they were also instrumental in bringing the railway to the town.

Much of the book was written on Adrian’s commute between Seaford and London and was inspired by his love of the town’s history and regular family holidays.

Based in and around the Dorset seaside town of Swanage, the 12year-old protagonist, Jake Barton, is staying with old family friends in the Easter holidays because his mum has to work. He hears of a tale about John Mowlem and George Burt and about how they rescued Danish gold bullion from the seabed in Swanage bay.

Fascinated by the legend of the gold, Jake embarks on a treasure hunt, following the clues that Mowlem and Burt have left behind. He teams up with Becky, who is also staying in Swanage during the holidays, and together they endeavour to discover the lost gold without being caught by corrupt local businessman, Mark Abbott.

The clues and codes that they must decipher are based upon real places and events around Swanage as well as extracts from John Mowlem’s real diary. Although this book is aimed at 9-12 year olds it is loved by young and old. It’s a great way to learn about the history of the town as well as following Jake and Becky to see if they can unravel the clues.

CONCENTUS SINGS IN SUMMER – REVIEW 18th JUNE The large audience in the Downs Leisure Centre evidently approved of the new direction taken by Concentus for this performance. Musical Director Adrian White broke new ground by inviting school children from Seaford Primary School and Cradle Hill Community School to sing with them, choosing a piece for the second half of the concert requiring children and adults to sing in several African languages. And the audience showed that they thought both had risen magnificently to the challenge!

In the first half of the concert, the children sang in 2 medleys, both with the adult choir and alone. Their solo parts in ‘Any Dream will do’ from ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’ (A Lloyd Webber, reflected the dream-like feel of the words very well, and ‘Who will Buy’ from ‘Oliver’ (L. Bart), convincingly conveyed the wonder of a perfect day and the wish to preserve it for ever.

Concentus members – as a concert go-er was overheard saying in the interval, – sang with great sensitivity to the children’s voices. They also gave us their trade-mark ability to use tonal shading and pace to express the emotions in the songs – the pathos in ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and the loss and sadness in ‘Yesterday’, (Beatles medley), as well as the infectious joy in ‘Funiculi, Funicula’ (L. Denza). There was plenty of Cockney gusto in the songs from ‘Oliver’. ‘Oh Fortuna’ (‘Carmen Burana’, C. Orff), and ‘Nessun Dorma’ (‘Turandot’, Puccini) also benefited from the choir’s skill, and illustrated its acknowledged discipline and versatility in style.

Groups and soloists, drawn from Concentus members, gave us more quality singing. The group song ‘Everything I do’ (Adams/Lange/Kamen), brought a tear to more than one eye in the audience. Sharon Jakeman wowed us with a stylish rendering of ‘When you’re good to Mama’ from ‘Chicago’ (Ebb/Kander). The four soloists who sang in the Beatles medley gave the piece depth and definition.

It was obvious that the audience appreciated the array

of bright colours clothing both choirs as they returned after the interval to sing ‘Zimbe!’ (A. L’Estrange). And Adrian White, MD, caused quite a stir as he mounted the podium clad in an African-inspired colourful loose top!

The 13 songs in this work illustrated many of the ways in which music accompanies life in Africa, and included wedding, protest, worship and children’s songs, as well as a lullaby and a funeral song. The light young voices of the children were central to this portrayal of African life, their very polished performance adding an essential ingredient to the work. Their solo singing set the scene well in two lively Akan children’s songs from Ghana, and their solos in the Xhosa lullaby for mothers of imprisoned sons was, quite simply, beautiful, expressing all the emotion implicit in such a song. Their final, unaccompanied line was a show-stopper, poignant and heart-wrenching. They also made a real contribution in the other songs which they sang with the full choir.

Concentus itself gave a very stimulating performance of this technically complex work, which integrated the children’s choir, a semi-chorus, and the excellent jazz quintet with the adult choir. There is only space to pick out two highlights from many possibilities. Firstly, the wonderfully atmospheric ‘The sun sets, the sun rises’, sung in Xhosa, which drew a vivid sound picture of a spectacular African sunset, fading into darkness, and the sunrise growing to pulsating brilliance. And second, the S. African funeral song ‘Thuma mina’, (Zulu), where the choir’s singing found the song’s innate spirituality, and delivered it with clean, clear simplicity – one of the most emotionally moving highlights of the work, topped and tailed as it was with the semi-chorous’s Aleluya’s.

The jazz quintet added an exhilarating extra dimension to what was one of the best concerts delivered by Concentus, as the audience showed by its lengthy standing ovation.

Meeching Amateur Dramatics

And Evermore Shall be So

by Norman Robbins

After last month’s joint production with Seaford Little Theatre of ‘Steal Magnolias’, Meeching Amateur Dramatics now proudly presents at Meeching Hall, Newhaven, between 24st and 28th August 2016, one of Norman Robbins’ recent tense Murder Mysteries ‘And Evermore Shall Be So’. Taking its title from the traditional song ‘Green Grow the Rushes O’ the play explores the events surrounding an unsolved murder which took place four years previously in a quiet village. An author, a cousin of the Vicar’s wife arrives having been encouraged to write a book about the murder. Raking up the past results in further murders, which unfolds a story of intrigue which twists and turns leaving the audience guessing until the very last speech of the play.

Convenient Kebabs

and cheese on to 8 short or 4 long wooden (previously soaked in water for 30 mins to stop them burning) or metal skewers. Cook the kebabs on a prepared barbecue or preheated grill for 12-16 minutes, turning occasionally until any meat juices run clear. Serve with houmous and a green salad.

I’m sticking to a barbecue theme this month, as we may yet get some decent weather before the end of the summer. A barbecue should be a fun event, and he or she who is cooking should have time to mix with friends and family, rather than being stuck behind the grill all afternoon, so it’s best to keep things simple. Bangers and burgers are all very well, but with just a little more effort and imagination you can wow your guests with Mediterranean flavours. Kebabs can be prepared in advance, using meat and veg marinated beforehand in your choice of herbs and spices to pack in the flavour.

A kebab is a small meal on a stick, so it certainly ticks the barbecue easy-peasy box for me. Here’s a couple of ideas from the ‘Simply beef and lamb’ and the ‘BBC good food’ websites:

Glazed vegetable kebabs

by Julian O’Vegetables

Lamb, Mint and Halloumi Kebabs

Ingredients:

450g/1lb lean boneless lamb leg or shoulder, cut into 2.5cm/1inch cubes; 30ml/2tbsp freshly chopped mint; Salt and freshly milled black pepper; 15ml/1tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice; 15ml/1tbsp olive oil; 100g/4oz halloumi cheese, cut into small cubes

Ingredients: 1 tbsp clear

honey; 1 tsp grainy mustard; 2 tbsp oil; 1 courgette, thickly sliced; 1 small aubergine, cut into chunks; 1 small red onion, cut into wedges; 8 cherry tomatoes; 1 orange pepper, cut into chunks;

Method: Soak 4 wooden skewers in water for 30 mins. Blend the honey, mustard and oil with seasoning. To assemble, thread veg onto skewers and brush with glaze. Cook on the barbecue, brushing with any remaining glaze before serving. Enjoy!

Julian O’Vegetables is an alter ego of Alan Lindsay

NOW OPEN

Method: Place all the kebab ingredients into a large, shallow dish, toss gently, cover and leave to marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. Thread the lamb

A BUSY TWO MONTHS FOR THE SEAHAVEN BRANCH THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ST GEORGE The Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George has been busy for the past two months giving useful gifts to various local worthwhile charities or projects.

The first in May was to give a new computer to the Starfish Project, an East Sussex based nonprofit making organisation that helps recovering stammerers and holds its three day courses at a hotel just north of Eastbourne.

Next was at Denton, to give the village Rosettes and badges to use at their sports day and fête.

Last year’s Mayor of Telscombe, Wayne Botting, is creating a garden of remembrance and the branch contribution was an oak bench. Lastly members of the branch attended the Seaford Museum which was in Martello Tower number 74 on the sea front and donated a projector which will help with their presentations to visitors.

These four gifts were made using surplus money accumulated at the monthly lunches or dinners throughout the year. These gifts came on top of the effort as a partner in the Joint Committee that runs the successful Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces Day, the branch arranged for a visit to the event by the Charitable Trust of The Royal Society of St George from London to present £500 to the Newhaven Sea Cadet unit to help with the refurbishment of their field gun.

Photos from top: President Laurie Holland with the new oak bench donated by the branch for the Telcombe Garden of Remembrance; the Village of Denton received the Rosettes and badges for their special day from Branch President, Laurie Holland, former Mayor of Telsombe, Cllr Wayne Botting (now a member of the branch); Kay Turvey, Chairman of the Seaford Museum, along with two other volunteers, examines the new projector held by Vice Chairman, Ann Abbott and President Laurie Holland.

Britain’s Waterways There are more than 2,000 miles of waterways around Britain, so why not make the most of them?

Take a stroll: From a relaxing amble after Sunday lunch, to a full day’s hike, our waterways offer numerous opportunities for walking. There are many circular routes you can take and the toll-paths are car-free. The Newton Poppleford & River Otter walk in Devon, for example, is a beautiful walk along the river, stopping off in the picturesque village of Tipton St John. Find a route near you at www.ifootpath.com.

Cycle: Many of the canal paths are ideal for cycling. Pick up an Ordnance Survey map, or plan your route with www.sustrans.org.uk. The Trans Pennine Trail is a good option, with more than 60% of the route being trafficfree and fairly flat.

Enjoy a leisurely boat ride: Whether you hire a narrow boat for a day, or a week, boating is clearly one of the best ways to enjoy Britain’s waterways. Visit www. waterways.org.uk for advice and tips. There are more than 100 boat hire firms, with many of the larger ones

offering the option to pick up and drop off at different locations. You don’t need any previous experience, as most firms will give you a short training course before you set off.

Try canoeing: Almost 2 million people go canoeing in Britain. It’s a great way to keep fit while exploring the countryside. Check out www.canoe-england.org. uk for inspiration. Trails are colour coded from easy to challenging, so you can pick a route to suit your ability.

Purton to Sharpness on the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal, for example, is classed as an ideal route for beginners. You’ll pass through several villages on route, so may even be able to stop off for a quick cuppa. You need a license to paddle on many of Britain’s waterways, which can be bought from the Canal and River Trust: www.canalrivertrust.org.uk Feeling adventurous? We might think of white water rafting as something to do on holiday, but there are a few British centres. The National White Water Centre, for example, runs sessions on the Welsh mountain river Afon Tryweryn, with prices starting from just £35 for a taster lesson.

Cast off: A leisurely day’s fishing can be a great way to unwind. You will need to purchase a rod fishing license from the Post Office before you cast off. An annual license starts at £27, though you can also buy licenses for shorter periods of time from just £3.75. Fishing rights are often owned by a local fishing club, but a Waterway Wanderers permit (£20 a year) gives you access to most stretches.

For more information about Britain’s waterways, visit canalrivertrust.org.uk.

East Blatchington Lectures

Baker date

The last in the current, very successful series of East Blatchington Lectures is on Tuesday afternoon, 2nd August, when the speaker will be a very familiar person to so many people.

He is Norman Baker, who is the former Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Lewes. He will be talking about what life is like as an ex-MP, and what he’s doing now away from the demands of Parliament.

He is also bound to mention another aspect of his life, and the fun he gets at being a musician. His band, The Reform Club, has released a second album, “Never Yesterday”, and has been signed by a major record label which is promoting it not only in this country but also overseas.

The band has a date at Seaford British Legion on Friday 23rd July, which he is also likely to mention.

Norman Baker is a busy man. He is a director of Seahaven FM, the local radio station, and he has two regular programmes: one on Sunday mornings called “Anything Goes”, from 10am to 12 noon, and the other on Monday evenings, “Hidden 60s”, from 8-9pm.

As usual, the lecture will be at St Peter’s Church, Belgrave Road, Seaford, and is open to everyone. It will start at 2.30pm, and admission is £7, which includes refreshment.

Tickets are available from the church, or from Newberry Tully Estate Agent, Church Street, Seaford.

Heat, Hats and Hydration

Have you ever had a holiday ruined because of overexposure to the sun? I have. It was 2007 and I was in Mauritius. I’d been snorkelling, fascinated by the marine life I was observing, oblivious to the sun beating down on me. Once on dry land, my back started to blister and I developed oozing sores that needed medical treatment.

Sun-starved as we are in this beautiful, verdant land of ours, it is easy to overdo it in the brilliant white sunshine of foreign holiday destinations, and sun burn is just one condition we may suffer from. Prevention is always better than cure, so here are a couple of tips to keep your holiday happy and carefree!

First, try and limit exposure to the sun during the hottest hours (around 12pm-3pm) and apply sun screen liberally 30 minutes before going out. Dress in T shirts instead of strappy vests and wear a cap or hat.

Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and be sure to carry bottles of water with you when outside. To avoid dehydration, the body needs to take in more fluids than it expels. A fall in water and salt levels can result in nausea, faintness and heavy sweating.

So, have fun in the sun this summer but don’t come back over cooked! By Debbie Singh-Bhatti

MARTELLO ROTARY

Donation to Mary’s Meals

Martello Rotary Club of Seaford have made a donation to a very worthwhile charity – Mary’s Meals. In 2002, founder Magnus McFarlane-Barrow visited Malawi during a famine and met a mother dying from AIDS. When he asked her eldest son, Edward, what his dreams were in life, he replied simply... “I want to have enough food to eat and to go to school one day.”

That moment was a key part of the inspiration that led to the founding of Mary’s Meals, which reaches impoverished children who can’t go to school because they are working, begging on street corners or doing whatever it takes to eat.

They began by feeding 200 children in Malawi in 2002, and today they are feeding over one million children every school day across five continents. Where Mary’s Meals is provided there is a rise in school enrolment, attendance, and attainment.

Outgoing President of Martello Rotary, Mandy Davis, had nominated them as her special charity and at a recent meeting she presented local representative Michael Logan with a donation for £1,000. She said, “Mary’s Meals is not just about feeding thousands of hungry children. If they were not fed whilst at school they would be forced to work instead, just to get the money to feed themselves. They would then have no education and no future. The charity has tiny overheads and uses almost every penny on the children, as volunteers prepare the meals. For me, all of this makes it an outstanding charity.”

Race across the Downs with Martello Rotary June saw the first Triple Challenge, a charity event held on the Downs to the North of Seaford. Organised by the Martello Rotary Club of Seaford, this event aimed to raise money for The British Heart Foundation and was unusual in that it brought together runners, cyclists

118

and walkers. The brave participants chose which activity they wished to do and then either walked for 10 miles, ran a half marathon or cycled twenty or thirty miles. The various routes were demanding and wound their way onto the Downs, providing great physical exercise and the potential for stunning views. As if the routes were not challenging enough, on the day of the Triple Challenge, the heavens opened, the wind got up and a low mist covered the Downs. The views disappeared in the mist, and all participants and marshals were soaked to the skin and very muddy. Route finding, despite a plethora of directions signs became difficult as the mist obscured everything and yet despite all of this, the participants returned to base with broad smiles and laughter.

The British Heart Foundation is a well known and much respected charity dedicated to the fight against heart disease. Most of the participants and organisers knew someone afflicted by heart disease and so were glad to take part in an event that would raise money to help develop knowledge about heart disease and improve services for heart patients. Even the appalling weather didn’t dampen spirits, though it was sad that those participants from London and more distant parts of the South East were not able to admire the wonderful scenery around Seaford.

The Martello Rotary Club would like to offer thanks to all people (and dogs) who took part, and specifically to acknowledge the assistance provided by Seaford Striders, Cycle Seahaven and Seaford Rugby Club.

The times for the people who took part in the halfmarathon run for this event can be found on the Triple Challenge web site and it is interesting to note that despite the awful conditions the fastest runner completed the course in under 1 hour, 34 minutes.

successful sEAHAVEN VETERANS AND ARMED FORCES DAY It rained in Brighton and along the coast but apart from a short gentle shower during the parade, the day at the Martello Fields in Seaford was spent mainly in bright warm weather. This year’s Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces day was a great success. It was opened at 11am by Seaford’s Mayor, Cllr Lindsay Freeman, and started with the cheerful and toe tapping music of the Seaford Rock and Jazz Orchestra.

At 12.15 the parade of Veterans and service cadets formed up near the Martello Tower and marched past the Lord Lieutenant, Mr Peter Field, the Mayor of Seaford and the President of the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George, Laurie Holland. Under the command of Major Bob Peedle MBE it was led by drummers from the Newhaven Squadron of the Air Training Corps, followed by the Standards then the Veterans, and detachments of the Sea Cadet Corps, Army Cadet Force and the Air Training Corps. The Seaford Town Crier, Peter White, went ahead with his bell and announced the approach of the parade.

On arrival in the arena, following prayers by the Rector of the Cuckmere Churches, Revd Daniel Merceron, a retired senior Army Chaplain, the parade was inspected. Each person on parade received a commemorative badge and veterans were treated to their first drink at the Tavern in the Tent by The Royal Society of St George. To welcome the Lord Lieutenant to the parade ground an impressive fanfare was sounded by four members of the Seaford Silver Band led by Christopher Goodchild. Witnessing the inspection were Maria Caulfield MP and many local civic dignitaries representing the County, District and Town Councils.

It was a pleasant surprise for the Sea Cadet Corps Unit, TS Defiance, based in Newhaven when following the parade, Nick Dutt, the Chairman of The Royal Society of St George’s Charitable Trust presented a cheque for £500 towards the cost of the repair of their field gun, for which they have been raising funds. This provides not just an historical connection, but it is valuable to train fitness and teamwork.

After the parade, invited guests and the veterans

122

gathered in the marquee for refreshments, provided

by Seaford Royal British Legion and the Seahaven Branch RSSG. Arena events then continued until later in the afternoon, including the Army Cadet’s KitKar display team, a drill display by a joint Air Training Corps and Army Cadet Force, a tug of war, a display of dancing and a display by Seaford Lifeguards, who also provided First Aid Cover for the event.

Around the field were a number of stalls from local charities, services and other organisations. It was a chance for such as the National Coastwatch Institute, who also operated the car park, to raise funds, as well as Help for Heroes, Royal British Legion, and many others. A selection of military vehicles were also on display.

Helping to marshal the roads for the parade were members of the Seaford Bonfire Society, and a popular item again was the Seaford Martello Rotary who provided the Tavern in the Tent. Financial support for the day was provided by the MOD, Newhaven Town Council and Lewes District Council and Seaford Town Council is to be thanked for providing the logistic and administrative support. A special thanks goes to Brooklyn Hyundai and Badger Inks for being sponsors and to Sussex Print Services who printed the programme. Surplus money from the day is to be donated to the Royal British Legion and SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity.

The parade, headed by two drummers from the Air Training Corps marches past the Lorde Lieutenant, accompanied by the Mayor of Seaford and the President of the Seahaven Branch RSSG, takes the salute. Two young cadets from the junior section of the Sea Cadet Corps with the field gun that requires funds to bring it back to full use.

SEAFORD INNER WHEEL District Rally

Andrea Butti President 2016/17 This year’s President is Andrea Butti. She was born in Surrey just after the end of the war; an only child but lucky enough to be part of an extended family which included many cousins. She had a happy childhood and grew up in Wandsworth, S.W. London.

Her first job was as a sales assistant in Harrods, working in Perfumery and on the Fashion floor. Later on Andrea became a clerical officer with the London County Council, going on to become a Tax Officer with the Inland Revenue. She met husband, David, at a youth club, and in 1966 they married, and celebrated their golden wedding anniversary earlier this year. They have three grown up daughters (one living in Australia). Andrea and David thoroughly enjoy gardening and derive inspiration from visiting National Trust and open gardens.

Andrea first joined Inner Wheel whilst living in Bromley, Kent, and has been a member for 32 years. In the Bromley Club she was Secretary and President. When David retired they moved to Seaford and Andrea joined Seaford Club. Seaford is the largest club in the District and Andrea is looking forward to the coming year as President. She has chosen East Sussex Young Carers for her charity. The presedential handover took place on 11th July.

Visit To Rathfinny Winery

The visit was the final social to be organized by Jennifer Pierce. She had opened up the visit to the husbands and partners. On a wind-swept rainy afternoon we drove through the estate stretching out over the horizon to Rathfinny’s visitor centre. The centre was warm and cosy and there we were treated to an informative lecture on vine culture. The vineyard is in its infancy, nonetheless an impressive knowledge of how to produce top quality wine enthralled us. Nowadays wine production is a scientific enterprise in which the quality of the soil, the position of the vineyard, the root stock and timeconsuming blending are vital factors. We enjoyed the visit, the company and the cream tea.

124

On 16th June it was time to celebrate the District Chairman’s year at the annual District Rally. A group of us, including our President, enjoyed the service of dedication at St Barnabas’ Church, Ranmore Common, Dorking. Sited on the picturesque Common, this beautiful church resonated with the joyful voices of the District Inner Wheel choir and the Rev. Virginia Smith inspired us with her down to earth humour.

Afterwards we had the lunch and an address from the Association President, Trish Douglas, at the Burford Bridge Hotel. The hotel is at the foot of Box Hill which is a beautiful part of Surrey. Trish told us a little of her life which led to her becoming our leader.

President Eileen Celebrates Her Year

On 28th June President Eileen celebrated her year in great style at Diella’s. Stefan was a marvelous host and cooked a delicious dinner for us. In addition to our members Eileen welcomed District Chairman Elizabeth and Gail Ehlinn to the festivities.

Andrea presented flowers to Elizabeth together with a cheque for £50 for Fight for Sight (her charity). She also thanked Norma Young for her outstandingly successful three years as District Secretary and presented Eileen with a plant.

Queen’s Birthday Party!

On 29th June Chrissie Ward and Jan Jemmett organized a delicious tea to celebrate the Queen’s birthday at Claremont Hall. HRH was otherwise engaged, but this did not prevent everybody from having a super time. The tuneful Seaford’s Ukelele Band played and sang some favourite melodies, and encouraged everyone to join in.

President Eileen’s last presentation was of a cheque for £600 to Dave Winsor (on behalf of Air Ambulance), the proceeds of the club’s Candlelight Supper.

Friends of Tide Mills In June, 18 Friends of Tide Mills collected just 6 sacks worth of rubbish this time, plus a few larger items.

Now we are entering hopefully a more settled spell of weather (not before time) we will be able to say Tide Mills is back to its very best. Many thanks again to all visitors who help us in this effort.

The vegetated shingle plants are now in flower, which transforms the whole area magnificently.The birds are in full song and hopefully having a very succesful breeding season.

Our Ringed Plover nesting signs for this year’s breeding season remain in place, these can be seen just to the Seaford side of the old village and close to the tidal lagoon. As always, we respectfully ask that disturbance within this area is minimised during the mating and fledging season March to July. We will recover the signs this month.

Readers and visitors may be wondering on the status of the replacement level crossing at Bishopstone, which is the main Tide Mills entry point for many. Network Rail indicated last year that the new crossing would be in place this last April. It now seems that the South Downs National Park Authority lodged an objection to the NR proposal, which NR are still considering. Warning sirens have just recently been installed which should make for a safer crossing than presently – it is not known whether these are all NR are intending. We have requested the SDNP Authority to seek clarification from NR as soon as possible. Given the recent fatality, the level crossing upgrade is obviously a major concern.

Our next meeting is taking place Sunday 21st August, 10am to 12pm, meeting at the old village beach road waymarker. All are very welcome to come along, no matter how much time can be spared – the more we are, the easier it is to ensure Tide Mills stays how we all like to see it.

Seaford Seafront Litter & Dog Walking

Seaford is well known for its attractive and unspoiled seafront and parks; so many visitors come to enjoy the town and especially the beach during sunny weather.

Unfortunately with such an increase in visitors on the finer days Seaford experiences a variety of unpleasant litter and other waste problems.

Seaford Town Council would like to encourage all visitors to help them ensure the seafront remains an enjoyable space for everyone.

Regular litter problems are seen when visitors either overfill a bin or leave their waste next to a bin that is already full; many will bag their waste to make collection easier, however often the litter is attacked by seagulls before it is removed resulting in the litter being blown all over the beach and promenade.

Seaford Town Council is encouraging all visitors to take care of the seafront, if you have any litter with you and find that a bin is full, please either find another bin with space, or ideally take your litter home with you. The Town Council is working with Lewes District Council to improve waste collection services, however this comes at a cost. New large capacity bins were installed in 2014.

However similar problems are still being experienced on busy days.

Seaford Town Council would also ask that visitors refrain from feeding wildlife as this encourages them to return regularly and scavenge for food.

The disposal of Barbecues should also be done with care; again it is recommended that any litter is taken home but if disposing of used Barbecues be sure to fully extinguish with plenty of water before placing near any other waste. There have been numerous bin fires due to still hot barbecues being placed in the bins.

For Dog Walkers visiting the seafront; please also take care to observe the dog ban areas in effect along the seafront. There are signs along the promenade displaying the designated areas either for ‘Dogs on Leads’ or ‘No

136

Dogs allowed’. Dog owners are also reminded to please pick up after your pets; this allows all other users to enjoy the wonderful unspoiled beach.

For information on the seafront and dog ban by-laws please visit the Seaford Town Council website www. seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk or contact the Council if you have any questions either by email admin@seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk or call the office on 01323 894870.

Seaford Seafront set to sparkle during the summer!

With more residents and visitors enjoying the seafront in Seaford local Councils are working together to tackle litter problems that are causing complaints and concern.

Lewes District Council is introducing an extra collection service every afternoon during the busy summer weekends to empty the litter bins that are well used by people enjoying the seafront. They are also going to carry out additional litter picking to help keep the area in pristine condition.

Seaford Town Council installed 17 larger litter bins last year in an effort designed to encourage people to dispose of their litter in a thoughtful way so that all can continue to enjoy the seafront area.

Councillor Carol Campbell of Seaford Town Council said: “Seaford Town Council is delighted that our concerns about litter on the seafront have been dealt with so swiftly by Lewes District Council, this is vitally important as we move forward with our development plan for the seafront to make it better for us all to use and enjoy.”

Councillor Paul Franklin, Lead Member for Waste & Recycling at Lewes District Council said, “Lewes District Council is making a concerted effort to tackle the issue of litter on the seafront and over flowing litter bins. With the introduction of additional collection services until the end of September and increased litter picking we are confident that this extra service will help cope with the problem during the busy summer months. Seaford Town Council has been instrumental in highlighting the litter issue to us and by working together we are confident a workable solution has been found.”

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.
