Cradle Hill Community Primary School Gardening Club

After eighteen months of building a new extension onto their much loved school, Cradle Hill Community School has now been able to start up their Gardening Club again. In January, ten new members ranging from the age of 4-11 started meeting every Wednesday after school with the aspirations of making the rundown school garden into a haven for growing their own food, cut flowers for the school and a sanctuary for wildlife. The club, which is lead by volunteer parents and staff, felt it was very important to share gardening skills handed down through the generations and encourage more children to take an interest in outside activities which they hope will stay with the children through to adulthood. After 5 months of hard work the Gardening Club, decided it would like to join forces with the schools Eco Club and celebrate National Gardening Week (30th April – 5th May). It was decided that they would like to hold three events to show the different ways they enjoy their school garden and outside spaces. On Monday 30th April, National Gardening Week was started with Art in the Garden after school. Unfortunately due to the extremely wet weather, the children were not able to go into the garden so painted their pictures of the garden, using plants they had grown, a virtual school garden tour on the classroom whiteboard and using their memory of the garden. On Wednesday 2nd May the Gardening Club members and the schools PTFA held an Open Garden event after school and sold tea and cakes donated by the parents along with plants grown by the club.

The event was well attended by the whole school community, as well as two members from the Seaford Horticultural Society, who took a tour which was lead by the club’s older members. The society gave advice to the children on how to improve their garden. The event raised a total of £155, which will allow them to buy a much needed strimmer and wanted wormery for their garden. On Thursday 3rd May the Eco Club held a sustainable garden event. The Eco and Gardening Club members went into the school garden after school and gave a talk and a presentation on how we make our garden and school sustainable and kind to the environment. There were special guests from Seaford Horticultural Society, The Sussex Wildlife Trust and Paradise Park who came along to judge the Art in the Garden competition. Paradise Park in Newhaven kindly donated an entry prize of seeds for everyone that entered, and also first, second and third prizes for the winners of the competition. The Horticultural Society donated £25 worth of tools for the Gardening Club. The winners of the Art in the Garden were Emily Nash who won 1st Prize, Sozi Mcilwaine-Bundala who won 2nd Prize and Takarra Lavallee who won 3rd Prize. The School’s Gardening Club members are expanding and now have 13 members, with more asking to join each term. The next big event for the club will be on Saturday 23rd June between 12 noon and 3pm, during the School’s Summer Fair. At the fair the club will be selling their plants and opening the garden to the community to come and have a look around to see the wonderful work that has been done. The club’s aspirations are to be able to join the Mayor’s Open Garden event next year.

Seaford Photographic Society The club’s league competitions started back in September and the final rounds were held after the Easter break in April so we now know the overall winners. In the Standard group Colin Mitchell’s splendid wildlife images dominated the year and he took the winner’s trophy for both the print and projected image categories. Well done to Colin – pretty impressive for his first season with the club. In the Advanced group Steve Wares came out on top for his prints and Tim King took the win for projected images, both with scores of 97/100. The penultimate competition of the season was for the ‘PDI of the Year’. This is where everybody gets to enter their best two projected digital images from the year’s previous competitions so the standard is always high. Cathryn Mantovani took both second and third places but the win went to Heather Roberts for her artistic study entitled ‘Leaf, Line, Leaf ’. Our guest speaker in April was John Staples ARPS APAGB and he gave us a fascinating talk on the history of Eastbourne Photographic Society, of which he has been a member since the 1960s. He brought along several old prints for us to see, including a couple of the club’s exhibition in 1895 in the Winter Garden! The KCPA (Kent County Photographic Association) is the regional federation for the 50 or so camera clubs in our area, including Kent and parts of South London and East Sussex.You might just be in time to catch their 2018 annual exhibition at Seaford’s Crypt Gallery, which runs from 10am to 5pm every day from Bank Holiday Monday 28th May to Sunday 3rd June. Around 500 prints and projected digital

images are on display, which have been selected from 2,500 entries. For the second year running Seaford Photographic Society did extremely well in this prestigious competition, having had 31 images accepted, from 6 club members: Steve Wares, Gary Carter, Chris Dawson, Cathryn Mantovani, Carol Adam and Jack Taylor. Nine of these photographs won awards and we have just heard that seven of them have also been selected to represent the KCPA in the PAGB inter-federation competition in June. The PAGB (Photographic Alliance of Great Britain) is the UK’s organisation that oversees camera clubs through its 15 regional federations. Many congratulations to Steve, Gary, Cathryn and Chris for getting their images chosen to go into this national competition. A quick reminder also that Seaford Photographic Society’s own Annual Exhibition at the Crypt is coming up in July. It runs for 2 weeks from Saturday 7th until Saturday 21st. There will be more details in next month’s Seaford Scene and also on the Crypt Gallery’s web site. Photos (clockwise from top right): Neolithic by Steve Wares; Joined Up Thinking by Chris Dawson; Halo by Cathryn Mantovani; Our Home on the Bridge by Gary Carter. All won awards at the KCPA Annual Exhibition and have now also been chosen to represent the KCPA in the national PAGB inter-federation competition.

Seaford U3A News

https://u3asites.org.uk/seaford/home Our regular coffee morning is at the Seaford Constitutional Club between 10am and 12 noon on Wednesday 20th June (just £1 for refreshments, which will rise to £2 in September) and the pub lunch at the White Lion (on the corner of Belgrave Road and the A259) is on Friday 29th June. Please contact our organiser before 6pm on Wednesday June 27th on 01323 381282 to book your place, and arrive at 12.30pm for 1pm lunch. On Thursday 7th June 2pm - 4pm, we have a Summer Talk for U3A members at the Downs where the speaker will be Kathy Gore who will talk about her work in the Lord Lieutentant’s Office. There are free refreshments.

You will be able to pick up a ‘blue leaflet’ from the Library and TIC in the middle of June which will give contact details, as well as titles of courses and dates for talks which will take place during our 2018/19 season. Seaford U3A Members will receive their membership forms and prospectuses in late June/early July and will be able to talk to course leaders at the Open Afternoon at the Downs on 19th July. More details later. Our book fair and coffee morning will be taking place on Saturday 7th July between 10am and 12 noon at St Leonard’s Church Hall. As before we welcome everyone to this event. Bring some books (not more than 10 please!) and take some more away. We always have a good selection as you know, and we look forward to seeing you. Jean Colebourne, the Conductor of Seaford U3A Recorder Ensemble and Seaford Handbell Ringers thought everyone might be interested to hear that their concert at Cross Way on 25th April raised £100 for the British Association for Music Therapy. It was a very small, but appreciative audience, and Jean’s thanks go to all members of the recorder group for all their hard work since September. Members of Seaford U3A went on a visit to St Paul’s Cathedral. Half the group took the Triforium tour which included exploring hidden parts of the cathedral and some of the medieval artefacts, followed by a

climb of 143 steps. They saw the flying buttresses which are hidden away to allow the classical style to remain intact, but still have the vital supports, then looked down from the top to the bottom of the stairwell of the geometric staircase. There was an amazing view down the Nave from high above at the west end towards the Quire and the High Altar. We visited the Trophy room which houses the Great Model, an earlier design of the cathedral made of oak and plaster, and many framed plans and pictures covering the walls. It was then up more than a 120 steps to the Whispering Gallery where we experienced the whisper effect thanks to a dad and his son who were experimenting. Two brave souls carried on up to the Stone Gallery, where they took photos of the City skyline. After lunch they had a 2-hour tour of the Cathedral and learnt about how Christopher Wren redesigned the Baroque style Cathedral on the original site of a church founded in 604. Construction (which took over 30 years) started in 1675 after the Great Fire of London destroyed the medieval church. At the end of this fascinating tour, they saw some metal gates, a memorial to Winston Churchill who had always said during the Blitz, ‘At all costs, St. Pauls must be saved’. Please contact us via our website or by phoning 01323 899572 if you need information about Seaford U3A. Photo: St Paul’s Cathedral from the outside; View of the Nave at St Paul’s Cathedral.

Seaford Film Festival

Celebrating Women & Film Friday 29th June - Sunday 1st July The subject first came up a couple of years ago: why don’t we do a film festival? Well, you know how it is, you all say what a good idea, then someone puts in a few what-ifs and the idea is quietly shelved. But three months ago Seaford Community Cinema had a Mad March Moment and said Let’s Do It! A couple of months later we had chosen a theme, selected the films, persuaded people to take part in workshops, got the venues and timings – more or less – sorted. So if anyone is unaware that there’s a festival going on, what with shiny leaflets, strong posters and huge banners plus colourful website (www.seafordcinema.org), facebooking and tweeting, then we haven’t done our job properly! We’re flooding the weekend with 11 major films, several shorts and workshops celebrating Women & Film. No, we don’t mean necessarily female actors, but those who have achieved success and fought through the #MeToo miasma to direct, shoot, screenwrite and produce. Chair Paula Ross explains: ‘Women & Film marks the anniversary of 100 years of women’s suffrage, leading to many discussions about who and what to include. We have tried to provide something for all: the young, the not so young, those who regularly attend our screenings and have a good knowledge of film, and first timers who can enjoy some new experiences and maybe make some new friends.’ Co-founder Hilary Miflin adds: ‘A hundred years ago women in Britain obtained the right to vote in the democratic process of government elections. In this festival we want to celebrate and make the connection between this liberation and the huge contribution and achievements of women in filmmaking.’

Programme

Everything on the Friday takes place at the Barn Theatre where the day starts at 11am with our Big Scream event for mums, dads and carers with babes in arms to watch The Big Sick (15), written by Emily V Gordon. Noise won’t be an issue! Tickets are £3.50, babies free. At 2pm

period clothing supplier Catherine Darcy is to talk about her work for film, TV, opera and theatre and there are to be clips from The Last Emperor to illustrate Darcy’s work. Free. This is followed at 4pm by director and cowriter Sally Potter’s The Party (15) and at 7pm by Molly’s Game (15), a crime drama shot by Charlotte Bruus Christensen and introduced by co-founder Mairin Colleary. Tickets £5, £3.50 under 25s. Saturday begins with a children’s singalong event at the Barn, with Frozen (PG) at 11.30am, directed by Jennifer Lee who also wrote the screenplay. Tickets £3.50. Then it’s off to the Constitutional Club at 2pm for a workshop when Brighton Film School graduate Vivien GoddardStephens talks about her film Days Without and how she broke into the industry. Free. Still at the Con Club it’s Sophia Carr-Gomm’s The Wider Sun, featuring some local scenes and made almost entirely by women, and then a Q&A on how it was made. Free. This clashes with Make More Noise, 3pm at the Barn with local historian Kevin Gordon talking about his special interest in the suffragette movement. Free. This leads on nicely to the film Suffragette (12), 4.30pm, tickets £5/£3.50. Then at 6.30pm it’s Open Bethlehem, directed, written by and starring Leila Sansour who shot it over five years during the building of the Israeli wall. Tickets £5/£3.50. The film that won a Bafta for Frances McDormand, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (15) is being shown at the Barn at 8.30pm, about a woman who fights to find the person who raped and killed her daughter. Tickets £5/£3.50. Sunday starts at the Barn with coffee and a croissant at 10.30am to watch The Hurt Locker (15), the film that won the first Best Picture Oscar for a female director (Kathryn Bigelow). Tickets £5/£3.50. Local women Andrea Hargreaves, Lyn Sands and Sally-Mae Joseph are the Golden Girls in a short film directed by BBC producer Alice Rhodes to be shown at 2.30pm followed by a Q&A with Alice. Free.

A few more willing volunteers needed ...to join Seaford Museum’s band of existing voluntary Stewards. “We are now within a few weeks of the completion of our Improved Access Project,” says Kay Turvey, Seaford Museum Chairman, “and we need to recruit some more voluntary stewards to join our excellent existing team. “The ramped floor at Moat level which houses most of the exhibits is complete. The new lift has been installed, and is already proving to be a valuable asset. By the end of June the new ramped footbridge should be finished, making the Martello Tower at Seaford the only such tower on the South Coast which is regularly open to the public, and which has wheelchair access to the ground floor and moat levels. “As a wholly voluntary Museum we rely on volunteers to act as stewards when the museum is open to the

public, and given the recent improvements we expect many more visitors and therefore need to recruit more stewards. “We held a successful volunteer recruitment meeting at the end of April, but we realise the date and time wasn’t convenient for some people, so we’ve arranged another, an evening session, to be held at 6.30pm on Wednesday July 18th, at the Museum. Potential volunteers don’t have to be expert historians and we offer training. All new volunteers will get the opportunity to try out in the company of experienced stewards. Part of the joy of being a steward at Seaford Museum is the chance it offers to discover more about our fascinating building and local Seaford history, as well as meeting visitors, who often have their own interesting tales to tell. We just ask that stewards are willing to offer a minimum of a couple of hours a month, at times suitable to them, by signing up to our stewards’ rota. “If you would like to hear more about becoming a Voluntary Steward at the Museum, come along on 18th July at 6.30pm to find out more, or phone (01323) 898222 and leave a message”.

SEAFORD ART

Since living in Seaford I have spent the last six years painting our beautiful landscapes. Seahaven is probably my favourite with the River Ouse and Birling Gap. I paint in both acrylic and watercolour and also like to create modern acrylic pieces that reflect the earth and our interconnectedness with it. My art has featured in Sussex Life magazine and I was selected to appear on Sky’s Landscape Artist of the Year series, which I was unable to attend. If you would like to have a look at my work, my website is www.richardkpotter.wixsite.com/ richard. In June I will be showing my most recent work at the Crypt Gallery, Seaford, from the 8th to the 21st June, so do come for a browse! As an Arts Facilitator I also take groups in East Sussex, most recently with the St James’ Trust in Seaford, which I enjoyed immensely. It is clear to me from working with the elderly, young carers and people with mental health needs, there is a real need for holistic approaches to wellbeing and for activities, whether they be art, creative writing, mindfulness or yoga, that bring back a sense of community and belonging, which we seem to be missing now. Art changes lives and creating inclusive spaces that allow people to get to know each other is healing in itself. Knowing that art has such an important place in our communities I created www.

creativity4wellbeing.com (C4W), which is a free site full of inspirational arty ideas for anyone who wants to have a go. I am mindful of how many people were put off art when they were at school because they were told that they could not draw. I often have to tell people that creativity is innate and that there are so many ways each one of us can get creative, whether we take up ceramics, mosaics, photography, painting

or upcycling, to name but a few! C4W will give you some good ideas and is also there for Art Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers and Keyworkers to use with their clients, as it also has a wellbeing theme. I will be continuing to work with St James’ Trust with a new course in the autumn and others elsewhere, moving forwards. I would also like to start another Art Club in Seaford when I find the right venue and I am open to any suggestions that you may have about this. I look forward to seeing you at the exhibition, which covers two weekends – let’s hope we have a lovely long summer!

Neighbourhood Watch Roundup

Continuing with our theme on Community and the impact a strong community can have on Crime & Neighbourhood Safety, our focus this month is on our youngsters, especially with the long Summer holidays brightening their horizons. Neighbourhood Safety is a Team Effort. While it’s impossible to ward off crime completely, each one of us doing our part sets a trend in motion which soon gives a strong message that is unattractive to criminals and uncompromising on unacceptable behaviour. With long days and sunny weather imminent, what can we do as a community to keep our youngsters safe and out of mischief? Most of these suggestions apply to much younger kids and all of them are pretty common sense but worth reminding ourselves of, especially with our town busy over the Summer and full of visitors.

Be aware of your children’s whereabouts:

Have your children tell you where they are going before they leave the house. Establish a time they need to be home. Have them leave a phone number of where they will be or be sure they have a mobile phone with them if there is one available.

Get your younger kids familiar with the neighbourhood:

Take walks with your kids frequently and show them around the neighbourhood during the day or at the weekends. This way, if they are ever lost or stumble across a neighbour’s kid who may be lost, they can easily ﬁnd their way home safely.

Know your children’s friends:

Get to know your children’s friends and their parents. Try to meet them beforehand and get all their contact information saved to your phone. Ask what the children will be doing at their house and if they’ll be supervised. If you’re unable to meet the parents ﬁrst, then try to at least talk to them over the phone.

Teach problem solving skills to your children:

It’s sadly a sure thing that your children will come across bullies or have confrontations with other children. Roleplay different scenes that could crop up between your children and their friends or other kids, or even adults. Instil in them that teasing and making fun of others can be hurtful and does not lead to good relationships.

Set boundaries for where your children can go:

If you live in the town, then you’ll want to identify how far away your children can go without you. Just around the block or two? Is it okay for them to cross busy intersections? Is there a dangerous area nearby to avoid? If you live in the country then it’d be good to let them know if there is a dangerous river nearby to not play by, or farms with large livestock to stay away from in case the animal decides to charge after them. Also, make sure they are aware of any questionable buildings, parks or areas to stay away from.

Respect engenders respect:

There is an awful lot of criticism heaped on our youth, especially our teens, which causes such conflict. Not all teens are yobs. Not all older folk are critical. Being a mother of two very vocal teenage boys, I have learned that confrontation leads to conflict, but respect engenders respect. As adults, let’s use our words carefully. It is after all our job to nurture our youngsters and a mouthful of criticism is a sure way to get a mouthful of abuse back again, conflict our town can do without. Let’s engage with each other respectfully. Remember to keep your valuables locked away and out of sight while out and about. Keep handbags and purses closed and within view, cars and vans locked and tools and equipment indoors overnight. Most of our crime is opportunistic in Seaford so let’s not give anyone an opportunity. We have plenty of No Cold Calling Decals available for anyone who would like one. Please send a SASE to S&BNHW, 37 Church Street, Seaford, BN25 1HG and we will post one out to you.You can join the Neighbourhood Watch by visiting our website www. sandbnhw.org or by dropping an email to members@ sandbnhw.co.uk or by popping into the police station for a form. Have a beautiful summer, Seaford, and be safe.

THE BEST SEAT AT THE BARN THEATRE HAS YOUR NAME ON IT! Audiences have been flocking to the Barn Theatre in Seaford for more than thirty years to watch the Operatic Society/Seaford Musical Theatre shows. That’s thousands of ‘bums on seats’ over the decades, and it’s now time to renovate and replace our much loved but worn out auditorium chairs. And here’s where you can help and become a part of the theatre’s history and fabric – literally. You can now have your very own piece of the Barn and become part of the furniture by sponsoring a seat in Seaford’s largest theatre. The back of your chosen seat will carry a plaque bearing your name or an inscription of your choice. You can dedicate it to your family or friends, mark your first theatre experience, pick a quote from your favourite musical or celebrate the life of a loved one. Sponsoring a seat makes for a unique way to mark a birthday, anniversary or a special and original gift.

a mention on our website and in our programmes as an official seat sponsor.

Seat sponsorship does not include admission to the theatre (apart from the Gala opening) or guarantee allocation of your chosen seat for a particular performance. By raising money to refurbish the seats we can continue to provide Seaford with a great venue where local people and children can watch live shows and cinema. As a charity our aim is to make it possible for as many local people as possible to experience the joys of performing, and being able to get involved with and benefit from learning about drama, music and other performing arts. We reserve the right to reject any inscription which is deemed inappropriate – we’re a family theatre after all. Thanks for your time and if you would like to sponsor a seat or have any questions please contact me at: barnseats@gmail.com Wendy Reed, for Seaford Musical Theatre

Jerry Lyons, who has sponsored a seat, said: ‘We’ve taken a seat to remember my mum and dad who would have loved to attend the theatre to watch their granddaughter. It’s a wonderful idea and will make our regular trips to the Barn that little bit more special.’ For £150 you can sponsor a seat in the Barn Theatre for 10 years, which includes: l

a plaque, with your engraved message, fitted to the back of your chosen seat; l an invitation to the Gala opening night variety show in September 2018;

Mid-Summer Party

for The Youth Counselling Project Sunday 24th June

The hot ticket for flaming June is the one that gets you into the Fundraising Mid-Summer Party being held on Sunday the 24th at Florence House and Garden, Southdown Road, Seaford, in aid of The Youth Counselling Project. This Seaford-based organisation’s mission is to help young people through difficult times by offering therapy. Starting at 7pm and going on until midnight, the event is a splendid excuse to put on your smartest glad rags for a party that is programmed to take full advantage of the lightest and longest evening of the year. The £35 tickets include a free cocktail on arrival, a buffet supper, dancing and entertainment. The cocktails will be vermouth-based from the shaker of Mark Ward, who was brought up in Seaford but travelled to Australia in 2002 to work with celebrated chefs Luke Mangan and, later, Pete Evans, setting himself up as a cocktails visionary. In 2005 Mark set up a marketing agency, launching such drinks brands as 42 Below, Hendricks and Glenfiddich into the Australian market. In 2009 he started to develop what became known as Regal Rogue to create the first native Australian aperitif, de-mystifying vermouth to fuse a range of cocktails. He is bound to have several different daring mixes to get you in dancing mood for pop-rock with a ’60s sound from former local MP Norman Baker and his The Reform Club rock band. Also there will be the Seahaven FM roadshow with Nick Mallinson on the decks, while local folk group Sprung will be strolling

among guests with their own brand of charming music. The evening will conclude with a bonfire and the sound of Jamie Morgan’s drums. Tickets are available from Clive Lacey on 01323 890323 or from Seaford Tourist Information Centre in Church Street. The Youth Counselling Project was set up in response to figures that show that one in five young people suffers from a mental illness but that only four per cent of the healthcare budget goes on mental health, meaning 70 per cent of young people are not receiving the care they need.The organisation was only established last year but has already been able to set up a pilot scheme in Seaford schools thanks to successful bids for funding, including from the National Lottery. But money is urgently needed to pay for future counselling costing £400 for the 10 sessions each young person will require. It is hoped to use the money to move from the currently limited-in-numbers pilot scheme to a full-blown operation that can help all who would benefit from it. Fund-raising events are being rolled out during the year, and in July personal trainer Ieuan Ford is seeking sponsorship to climb nine UK peaks in three days. He has set himself a £5,000 sponsorship target, a sum which would provide counselling courses for 12 youngsters. Ieuan said: ‘I chose the charity for what they do for children. I was shocked to hear how many kids suffer. I had a friend who I think suffered in the same way and it made me think. It’s nice to help a local start-up charity to fund help for kids.’ Founder Judy Renihan said: ‘All our therapists work in a non-judgmental, accepting and positive way to help young people realise a more productive and happier future. Our counselling service provides young people with emotional support in a safe and professional space where they can open up about their problems without shame or discrimination. By understanding their situation better, young people can see a way forward, enabling them to live life with a more positive attitude and greater self-esteem.’ Photo: Organisers Clive and Ros Lacey with Ieuan Ford.

ROTARY CLUB OF SEAFORD

Rotary Young Photographer of the Year 2018

This year a record number of entries across the age ranges was received for the Rotary Young Photographer of the Year, and so on 15th February Paul Vaesen, Jim Anderson and Tony Osborne from the Seaford Rotary Youth Services Committee met with Barry Trigwell of Fotobox to carry out the difficult job of judging the entries. The subject for the competition was ‘A Different Perspective’. First prize in the 7-10 age group was won by Daisy Jenner from Chyngton School, our first winner from this school, and on 19th March President Mike Roper presented her with her prize and a winner’s certificate at a school assembly. The winner in the 11-13 age group was Grace Russell who lives in Seaford but attends Moira House School in Eastbourne. Again, this was the first time that there has been a winner from that school. President–r Robinson from Seaford Head School, who had already won the Young Artist competition, was awarded second prize. The most entries were received in the age category 14-17 with the majority, including the winner and two runners up, coming from Northease Manor School. President Mike Roper attended a school assembly on Friday 27th April to present the prizes to the winners. Certificates of acknowledgement were presented by President Mike Roper to pupils from the school who took part in the competition in alphabetical order but were not successful in winning a prize. Paul Vaesen, Chair of Seaford Rotary Youth Services Committee congratulated all entrants from the School, who the judges considered had tackled the subject admirably. Then in reverse order, the third prize and a certificate were presented to George Seebacher. Second prize with his certificate went to Jude Allison. First prize plus

the winner’s certificate for his photograph of a stack of used tyres was presented to Freddie Medhurst. Our thanks go to Barry Trigwell and Fotobox for their continued excellent support for our Young Photographer of the Year competition.

First Rotary Boot, Craft and Produce Fair of the Year

Sunday 15th April dawned dry, albeit cloudy, for the first Boot, Craft and Produce Fair of 2018. As I approached the Martello Fields just after 8.30am, I become aware that although the gates had opened for stallholders at 7.30am, the field was already full of people milling around a field full of cars and stalls. The roads around the field were full of parked cars, and there was a queue inside the field for parking spaces, and a traffic jam near the entrance as more people in their vehicles arrived. Looking up towards the Martello Tower, I saw that the parking spaces on the Esplanade overlooking the field were occupied by a complete row of vehicles, and as a result I had to park my car further along the Esplanade and walk back to view the array of stalls. Before the early morning dew cleared, the sun managed to break through the clouds and this helped boost the already a good sized crowd of potential customers to the large number of stalls. There were the expected items for sale, clothes, CDs, plants, books, jigsaw puzzles, crockery, costume jewellery, and toys. There were also some more unexpected, unusual and large items. These included two pairs of child’s crutches; a large pink toy bear and a large toy Photos from top: Freddie Medhurst’s winning image; Grace Russell being presented with first prize by President Mike Roper assisted by Tony Osborne; Customers at the Rotary Boot, Craft and Produce Fair.

purple rabbit; a selection of reconditioned trainers; three saddles – the seller said that anyone who owned a horse had a saddle, and that there was thus not much interest in purchasing them; a Father Christmas, the size of a small child – this was snapped up for £1; and several stalls with Christmas decorations (in April!). There was a total of 79 stall holders at this fair, in which we raised over £850 including a significant contribution to funds in our donation buckets at the event, and the takings from our own Rotary Club stall, and which made it our best ever April Boot Fair, about £300 more than our previous best in April 2017. The large number of stalls which almost filled the West Martello Field far exceeded the 61 stalls at the fair held in August 2017 which was the greatest number last year, but that is not the greatest number, that was back in 2015. Why so good? Some said they had loaded for the Scout Fair but when that was washed out due to the inclement weather on the Sunday, they had kept their vehicles loaded and came to us. Also a few said they had intended to go to the Brighton Fair but that was cancelled due to the staging of the Brighton Marathon. As always, the weather forecast is a critical factor – if, on Saturday, the forecast is good, the turnout is higher, and many said that they had seen a good forecast.

Inner Wheel club of seaford For an event in the Inner Wheel calendar you simply cannot beat the International Convention, held every fourth year, and this time in Melbourne, Australia. Two of our members from Seaford club were able to attend, and as usual the opening ceremony, banner processions with so many people in national costume, produced a superb event full of colour. Countries from all over the world were represented and the 250 Indian ladies attending were all dressed in beautiful pink saris on day one and turquoise on the second day. The next Convention is in Jaipur, India, in four years time. Our group of Crafty Ladies has been hard at work again and made beautiful knitted dolls which will be given to the Seaford Downs Syndrome and Special Needs Support Group. We spend a lot of our time fund raising and are able to donate various sums of money to local organisations in need of funds â€“ but itâ€™s not all work. A small group of our members visited Sheffield Park and enjoyed the beautiful colours, and, of course tea and cakes. We have also been visiting other Clubs in the District and several people attended Lewes Inner Wheel Club Special 70th Birthday Tea. We keep a lovely close contact with our Rotary Clubs and our President Jennifer recently enjoyed a special invitation to the Newhaven Club for lunch.

WAVES Family Support is pleased to present our new logo, designed for us by John Eldridge of John Eldridge Designs. We also invite you to look at our new website – www.wavesseaford.org.uk and follow our blog – thank you to Jamie for his help with this. We have had a facelift at the Centre in Church Street, Seaford too. We have been able to do all this work thanks to grants received from the Co-op and Tescos. This upgrade was one of the areas that were reported on at the recent WAVES AGM, held at Seaford Baptist Church. The Family Worker, Jill Murphy, reported on her work with families, and Carolyn Plowman reviewed the work at the Drop-In Centre and the work in the local schools through WAVES’ Listening Service. Reference was also made to the financial support received from Seaford Town Council, which enabled WAVES to help families access low cost counselling and Anger Management Courses for children and young people in Years 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Our plans for the future include holding an art and music, ten-week pilot project – Soundwaves – at the Centre, when Kate Comberti, a professional musician and a local artist, will work together with pre-school children and their parents to engage in music and creative arts. As well as encouraging children’s communication skills, we hope to train our volunteers and mums so that this activity can continue at the Centre. The continued financial support of the local community is invited so that WAVES can continue this service to the families in Seaford and the surrounding area who are facing difficult and challenging situations and need encouragement, advice and a listening ear. If you would like to hold a fundraising event in support of WAVES or would like to make a regular contribution please contact the Centre on 01323 873797. If you would like to volunteer, please call in at the Centre Monday - Thursday between 9.30am and 12.30pm and have a chat.

New Price for Mackerel Plaques

Arkwell services

Don’t miss this final opportunity to be part of The Shoal!

Painting & decorating both internal/external

On Bank Holiday Monday, 28th May, there was a celebration event at Splash Point to mark the completion of this amazing community bench. No one could have imagined just how successful The Shoal would be when the concept for the sculpture was born. All the Herrings, Sardines and Sprats have sold out, however enquiries continue to be received from residents and visitors to this unique place who would still like to be part of this fantastic project. In order to meet this demand, Seaford Town Council in conjunction with The Shoal Committee have decided to reduce the cost of the Mackerel Plaques. Previously requiring a donation of £1,000, these plaques are now available at just £500.

Carpet and upholstery cleaning, spot and stain removal and stain guarding

Full tenant cleans

Fully insured, totally trustworthy and reliable

Please call Shaughn or Jackie at Arkwell Services or visit our website www.arkwell-services.co.uk Email: enquiries@arkwell-services.co.uk

01323 490777 07967 049988 (mobile)

The plaques occupy a prominent position along the top of the seven Monumental Mackerel benches and are perfect for clubs and organisations, as well as individuals. They are ideal for promotion, poetry, memorials or messages of hope, love and joy. As the plaques are individually hand engraved, the dedication can appear in various sizes of lettering and can include a logo if artwork is supplied. Gabby Tofts, whose inspiration was instrumental in bringing The Shoal to fruition, was delighted with the decision, ‘To open up a final opportunity to sponsor The Shoal is wonderful and I’m sure will be appreciated by anyone who still wants to have a very special place on this exceptional tribute to Seaford’s community.’ There are forty Mackerel Plaques left in total at the time of writing, available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested in taking up one of the last few spots on The Shoal, please visit Seaford Town Council’s website, www.seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk, or www.theshoalseaford.com where you will be able to download an application form which has full instructions.

SEA SUNDAY Our 2018 ‘Sea Sunday’ Service at St Andrew’s Church, Bishopstone Village, will be celebrated on 1st July 2018 at 10.15am and will be in aid of The Mission to Seafarers as usual (www. missiontoseafarers.org/Pages/Category/seasunday). We cordially invite you and your friends to join us for this annual service, for which this year’s theme is ‘abandonment’. The service will be conducted in the presence of The Deputy Lieutenant of East Sussex, Mr David Allam. Our guest preacher will be the Mr John Attenborough, Chaplain to the Mission to Seafarers in Southampton. The purpose of this celebration is to provide a few moments for us as an island nation to reflect upon our dependence on the sea, and for the bountiful fruits that it supplies as a safe thoroughfare and a source of a unique harvest for us on a daily basis. It is a moment during the course of the year when we also give thanks for all those who sacrifice a traditional home life for servicing our needs upon the sea, and the other dangerous services that are conducted thereon. The Mission to Seafarers supports seafarers in need in over 260 ports in 71 countries around the world, through its global network of chaplains and volunteers who offer a warm welcome, practical and financial support, advocacy services, access to legal advice and family liaison. Life at sea can be dangerous and lonely. The work of a seafarer is one of the most difficult and challenging jobs in the world today, away from family and friends for months or even years at a time. Seafaring can be a tough, isolated and hazardous career. We particularly welcome representatives from our local maritime organisations and emergency services who acquit themselves so well during maritime incidents so close to our parish. So we extend a warm invitation to you and your friends to attend our service this year, and we can assure you that all will receive a warm welcome at this annual service in Bishopstone Village. The service will be followed by refreshments served in the Bishopstone Village Hall adjacent to the church. Christopher Laycock, St Andrew’s Church PCC, Bishopstone Village

The PROOF OF THE PUDDING

by Julian O’Vegetables

I thought that it’s about time that I featured a dessert, so here goes. This dish from Olive magazine adds a tropical twist to the traditional tarte tatin and elegantly rounds off a dinner. It’s fairly simple to make using few ingredients and is delicious hot or cold. Try using brown caster sugar for a darker, richer caramel. Serve with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream.

Spiced Pineapple Tarte Tatin Serves 6

Ingredients A 500g block of puff pastry, rolled out to the thickness of a £1 coin; a small pineapple, peeled and sliced into 6 2cm-thick rings; 70g caster sugar; 35g unsalted butter; a star anise, ground in a pestle and mortar; ½ tsp ground cinnamon.

Method Cut 6 circles of pastry (about 10cm) to fit mini tart tins. Chill. Line the tins with baking paper. Heat the oven to 180ºc/fan 160ºc/gas 4. Core the pineapple. Heat the sugar gently in a pan until it turns a light caramel colour, shake the pan while it melts but don’t stir, or it will crystallise. Take off the heat and stir in the butter, star anise and cinnamon. Divide between tins, put a slice of pineapple on each and bake for 10 minutes. Top each with a pastry circle, prick with a fork and bake for 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes only, turn out and serve. Enjoy! Julian O’Vegetables is an alter ego of Alan Lindsay

Citizens Advice

Mental Health Awareness

Citizens Advice is fully committed to this campaign to provide information, direction and help to everyone. The pressures of an increasingly demanding work culture in the UK and debt are both significant contributors to stress which may lead to anxiety and depression.

Common signs of stress

Constant worry or anxiety Being overwhelmed Difficulty concentrating Mood swings Irritability Difficulty relaxing Depression Low self-esteem Eating more or less Changes in sleeping habits Using alcohol, tobacco or drugs to relax Aches, pains, particularly muscle tension Diarrhoea and constipation Nausea or dizziness Loss of sex drive.

Three steps to take when feeling stressed

1. Realise when it is causing you a problem. Try to make the connection between feeling tired or ill and the pressures you are faced with. 2. Identify the causes: those with a practical solution; those that will get better given time; those you canâ€™t do anything about. Try to release the worry of those in the second and third groups and let them go. 3. Review your lifestyle Are you taking on too much? Can you do things in a more leisurely way? Prioritise things you are trying to achieve and re-organise your life. Do not try to do everything at once.

Seven steps to help protect yourself from stress 1. Eat healthily. 2. Be aware of smoking and drinking alcohol. 3. Exercise.

4. Take time out. 5. Be mindful. 6. Get some restful sleep. 7. Donâ€™t be too hard on yourself.

Money and stress

Money and debt concerns place huge pressure on us. It is important if you are worried about your finances and debts that you do not try to deal with them alone. Citizens Advice and Step Change will help. Talk to your GP or a trusted health professional if you are worried about how debt is affecting your mental and physical health.

Smoking, drinking, drug use and stress

Smoking, alcohol or recreational drugs to reduce stress often makes problems worse.

Ask for professional help

There are a number of voluntary organisations which can help you to tackle the causes of stress and advise you about ways to get better. Citizens Advice provides free, independent and confidential advice for a range of problems as well as providing information on your rights and responsibilities. Anxiety UK runs a helpline staffed by volunteers with personal experience of anxiety from 9.30am-5.30pm, Monday to Friday. Call 08444 775774. StepChange provides help and information for people dealing with a range of debt problems. Freephone (including from mobiles) 0800 1381111. Mind provides information on a range of mental health topics to support people in their own area from 9am-6pm, Monday to Friday. Call 0300 123 3393 or email info@ mind.org.uk. Rethink provides specific solution-based guidance. Tel: 0300 5000927, Fax: 020 78201149, email: advice@rethink.org. Samaritans offers emotional support 24 hours a day â€“ in full confidence. Call 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org.

Specialist mental health services There are a number of specialist services that provide various treatments, including counselling and other talking treatments which are coordinated by a community mental health team (CMHT), based either at a hospital or a local community mental health centre. Alternatively contact your local Citizens Advice on 03444 111 444, find drop in details of opening times on our website www.lewesdistrictcab.org.uk

Steve Saunders who is also Vice President of the Seahaven Branch. The bells rang out at 6pm in honour of St George followed by the service conducted by Revd Christyan James. Everyone then walked across the Tye to Deans Place Hotel for a formal dinner which started with the traditional Ceremony of the Beef. The Chef carried the beef in to be tasted by the Chairman, Bob Peedle MBE, who declared it great and rewarded the Chef with a tankard of English Ale. There was enthusiastic applause for the ceremony. After the guests were welcomed by the Chairman, the Lord Lieutenant replied and gave the toast ‘England and St George’. At the end of the evening, the President, Laurie Holland, gave the toast to Absent Friends but also told the assembly of his experience the previous Saturday where, along with other branch members, he attended The Royal Society of St George’s annual service, wreath laying and parade of 500 service cadets at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. This was attended by members from around the country and after the parade everyone adjourned to Westminster Abbey to lay a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, then to lunch in the Abbey’s Cryptorium. The National Standard on that Saturday was carried by our branch chairman, accompanied by the branch standard carried by Frank Holland. Photos: (Top) The party on the Tye, including two Seahaven Scouts, Thomas Fowler and Emily Marrison, who helped during the service and dinner; (below) Lord Lieutenant, Mr Peter Field congratulated the bellringers.

HONEYSUCKLE

Honeysuckles are one of those wonderful British garden plants that many admire for their beauty and the lovely perfume of the flowers at this time of year. Its botanical name is Lonicera, there are climbing varieties as well shrubby types which make for good hedging. They like full sun or partial shade and are easy to grow. There are around 180 species of honeysuckle with about 100 of these found in China, others are in India, North America and parts of Europe. The name honeysuckle is derived from the edible sweet nectar in its tubular flowers and the name Lonicera comes from a Renaissance botanist Adam Lonicer. Moths appreciate their nectar, feeding on them during the night. Along with roses, with their range of perfumes the honeysuckle must come up as a close second for its fragrance. Look out for them during June!

worm casts behind them. They don’t damage growing plants but do like dead leaves to line their burrows. The compost bin is a hive of activity with the small brandling or compost worms, at 6cms long they eat their way through decaying plant and vegetable matter. The result is wonderful compost which will enrich the soil and for using as a mulch, this in turn helps in the growth of the flowers and crops. Without worms the soil would be useless – they are the lifeblood and the key to a successful garden. Sylvia Reeve to d

re we able to say that spring or even summer has now arrived after the long cold winter with its rain and gloom? The glorious sunny days are hopefully here to stay for a while and gardening can be done in earnest. Flowers and blossoms bring smiles and happier faces, and crops bring the expectation of some tasty veg and fruit to look forward to. There is more life in the garden with birds singing and making their nests, butterflies and bees in flight, and worms are continuing to do their job of improving the soil for our use. I am fascinated by worms and how they improve the soil by their actions. Britain has several species of earthworms. All have a role to play and are an essential element for creating a good soil structure and improving its fertility. Their sizes and colours vary but the type seen most often are the earthworker worms which are busy tilling the soil to make it airy and nice for plants to grow in. They make vertical burrows and leave

Seaford Open Garden in aid of Alzheimer’s Research UK

Saturday 30th June, 11am - 4.30pm High Trees, 83 Firle Road, Seaford, BN25 2JA Susan and Tony Luckin are opening their beautiful garden, High Trees, on Saturday 30th June to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Guests will enjoy a wander around the beautiful gardens and stunning woodland before enjoying hot drinks and sweet treats. There will also be plants and books for sale and a raffle. The couple have been opening their garden annually since 2013, raising funds for other charitable initiatives including Seaford in Bloom, The Mayor’s Trail and the National Garden Scheme. This year, Susan wanted to support Alzheimer’s Research UK in memory of her mother, Daisy, who lived with dementia and passed away last year after celebrating her 100th birthday. ‘Dementia is a terrible disease which affects not only the individual

but their whole family. By opening our garden and raising money, we hope to contribute to vital research which will one day cure this awful illness,’ says Susan. All proceeds from the event will go to Alzheimer’s Research UK, which powers world class studies focusing on prevention, diagnosis and treatments for dementia. There are 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, one in three people over 65 in the UK will die with some form of the condition. Georgi Welch, Regional Fundraising Officer at Alzheimer’s UK, said: ‘We’re so grateful to the Luckin family for supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Order, order… oh, the kettle’s not boiled yet, OK we can wait a few minutes’… no, nothing’s so serious that even the AGM can’t be postponed for a moment or three.Yes, decisions are made democratically and volunteers’ voices are heeded, but, who, after a couple of hours’ gardening, can be expected to sit still and listen without a freshly brewed cuppa and a couple of Jim’s ginger biscuits? So, tea in hand, chair Allison got down to business, summed up as having a successful year, with water butts raised to make usage easier, children’s area complete thanks to James and Natasha and in regular use by Charlie Bear’s nursery, new entrance gate, re-edged raised beds and a new little pond among the achievements – and a cracking 10th birthday party. And what’s more the finances are pretty healthy – thank you Seaford Rotary Club for your cheque – and open day visitors are well up. Again thanks to James and Natasha, who also look after the wildlife pond, a Facebook page is now up and running. Likes please. And a huge thank you to Mike who did a grand job as acting chair. Allison said that this year she’d like to expand the garden’s use to attract more schools and after-school clubs, so volunteers put their names forward to enable the garden to be open other than Wednesdays to accommodate this. ‘Gardening is quite a large part of the curriculum now,’ she said. ‘But not all schools have space for it.’ With the AGM over in 15 minutes and Trustees Veronica, Viv, Stan, James, Allison and Katie voted in unanimously, it was back to the garden to continue with the business of preparing for big open days this

month. On Sunday 10th June our garden at the Crouch will be one of nine open on the Mayor’s Trail, and on Sunday 17th June we are honoured to be open for a Yellow Book group event for the first time. As the National Garden Scheme book – help yourself to one from the classroom by the way – says: ‘Seaford Community Garden is new and provides an interesting space for members of the community to come together and share a gardening experience.’ The other gardens taking part are at 34 Chyngton Road, Cupani at 8 Sandgate Close, High Trees at 83 Firle Road and Lavender Cottage at 69 Steyne Road. Well, what a difference a month makes. Tomatoes including Alicante, Moneymaker and the prolific mini plums Ildi have been planted in beds prepared only four weeks beforehand. Mike said the watering system was programmed to drip into the growing plants’ soil for 10 minutes every 12 hours. ‘They are fed once or twice a week when the first tomatoes set,’ he added. Outside the poly tunnel a random glance around the garden in early May sunshine saw Allison tackling bindweed that might strangle the raspberries, Jim weeding broad beans, Dave tying in bean poles and Katie planting iris, waterlily and marsh marigold plants into the new pond. ‘A newt came to watch,’ she reported. Visitors are always welcome to watch us work too. Or you could always join in on Wednesday mornings!

Belle Tout Lighthouse Revisited Perched high up on the Sussex Downs is the Belle Tout Lighthouse. With 360* panoramic views – catching the eye from seascape to the Weald and beyond. Five years ago The Builders’ Club renovated this rather forlorn and dilapidated building back into what we see today: “Belle” is more beautiful than ever! Its new life brought along hundreds of guests ready for a break. In a place where fine furniture, local history and delicious food for breakfast make one feel at home no matter the weather. I stopped there for a cup of coffee, invited by the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw. Of course I was delighted and jumped at the opportunity as I eager to see the place I spent 2 years of my life restoring. I was not to be disappointed! As I walked in and up the steep steps to the lounge and kitchen, it was so lovely to see that little had changed, in fact, it had been made even more homely. The attention to detail, not only in the care of the restored work we completed, but the dressing of the rooms and carefully positioned artefacts, antiques, pieces of local history were so precise, it was no wonder the lighthouse was still busy. I was greeted by the one of the most friendliest of people who I recognised as Paul (the assistant manager, who we left there opening the doors to the general public all those years ago and had such a great relationship with) and Louise (the duty manager) who was serving some of most sumptuous food I could have ever imagined eating for breakfast. There were still guests eating their wonderfully prepared breakfasts and admiring the views from the lounges tables. After being introduced I spent the next hour regaling stories to the eager listeners of the 2 long years it took to complete, including confirming the ghost stories that had been muttered about for years past! As I wandered around the building and remembered the problems we had with the Council Conservationists, the Sussex Downland Trust, the Eastbourne Historical Society, the M.O.D. Bomb Squad, not to mention the eroded access road!! Today, all pressure groups are appeased. Back into pristine condition, the lighthouse is as good as new! I have to say I feel privileged and honoured to have played such a large role in breathing not just new life into this beautiful piece of local history, but seeing it so well maintained. If you are ever lucky enough to be able to book a bedroom here, it is certainly well worth a stay, it is just to admire and take in the breath taking views from the numerous picturesque windows. After wandering around the well kept grounds, seeing the 2 ton pieces of granite that were virtually impossible to move and sitting at ’The Knights Table’ I felt as though I was at home once again. You cannot understand unless you visit here, how much love and hard work has been given into making The Belle Tout Lighthouse, one of the most fascinating and historical places in Sussex. This is a ‘must stay’ in your life time for any body interested in local architecture, luxurious accommodation and genuinely outstanding staff. Thank you Mr Shaw and all the lovely attentive and interesting staff who made my albeit short visit so memorable. All the very best for the future, David Archer, The Builders Club

ZERO WASTE MAMAN

(SAS). Seaford is starting on it’s journey to become a fully-fledged plastic free town!

I think history is being made in the world’s stance to throwaway plastic. The more you see on TV, in the papers or online, there is a massive push to stand up to those that manufacture and sell unnecessary plastic, and tell them it’s time to stop. If you follow my articles you’ll know that I am an environmental campaigner living a zero waste lifestyle, which isn’t easy given plastic is absolutely everywhere! But it has given me the scope to make changes to my family’s lifestyle, drastically reducing single-use convenience goods I previously bought. I hope I am encouraging people to start refusing, reducing and refilling plastic waste!

The monthly Beach Cleans for the charity Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) are a fabulous way to get everyone involved and inspire our local community to make changes by seeing the impact our everyday plastic habits have on the coastline.

Community

There is in 2018, No Excuse For Single Use The tide of change seems to be upon us with myself and Seaford Town Council recently starting our campaign to rid the town of single-use plastic as part of a national initiative1 from Surfers15:20 Against Sewage localPRINT.pdf 06/02/2018

Plastic damage to the planet is going to be part of a no-doubt online Encyclopaedia for my children’s age-group, where they learn the generations before them knew littering was wrong but despite it being nonsensical, it carried on and polluted the planet and oceans. Community is the only way we will change the plastic issue – learning from each other’s journey to a totally different type of consumerism is how change will happen. Come and join online at the Facebook page: Plastic Free Seaford. TOP TIPS on how to change from plastics to alternatives will feature next month.

Questions to Ask an Estate Agent

Estate Agents

Stephen Newberry

Andrew Tully

We received a call recently from a retired gentleman who had lived in the same house for more than 40 years. He was relocating to be closer to his family and was selling his property for the first time and unsure what to ask agents. The advice we gave him is what we share with anyone looking to put their home on the market in Seaford. Whichever agency you invite around to value your property ask them the following questions: How many years’ experience do you have in the local market? l

On what comparable evidence are you basing the valuation? l

What do I get for the commission fee you are charging? l

How will you market my property? And what is the strategy behind your marketing? l

When we go on a valuation visit we are ready for pretty much any questions, but perhaps the best and most telling question you can ask any estate agent pitching to be instructed is this: What percentage of homes that you are instructed to sell do you get a sale agreed on? l

Newberry Tully Estate Agents 53 Church Street, Seaford (opposite Seaford Health Store) Tel: 01323 490001 www.newberrytully.co.uk They may not be able to tell you on the spot but with a little bit of simple research they should be in position to answer that question. For us at Newberry Tully we know that since the start of 2018 up until 18th April we have sold and agreed sales on 89 per cent of the properties we have been instructed on. That’s the highest percentage in Seaford by a considerable margin. Why? Well, we put it down to two main things. Firstly, we always price as accurately and honestly as possible. An overvalued property simply stays on the market for a lot longer than it should do, which does the vendor absolutely no favours in the long run. Secondly, we are a small, dedicated team with more than 50 years’ local estate agency experience to share to our clients’ benefit and get the thing they want most. The best price for your property in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of stress. And we’ll stay answerable to that. Thanks for reading, Andrew and Stephen PS: Curious about your home’s value in the current market? Give us a call to arrange a no obligation, no pressure, free valuation.We’re here to help.

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.

S. J. Hampton East Blatchington Lectures

House call

One of the most famous houses in Sussex, once occupied by one of the country’s most popular authors, is the subject of the next East Blatchington Lecture. Bateman’s is a 17thcentury house located in Burwash, East Sussex, and was the home of Rudyard Kipling from 1902 until his death in 1936. The house itself was built in 1634 and Kipling’s widow bequeathed the house to the National Trust on her death in 1939. It is a Grade I listed building. In 1900, Kipling was the most famous author in England, and was earning £5,000 per year; the cost of Bateman’s, £9,300, was thus entirely affordable. Kipling wrote some of his finest works at the house including: ‘If—’, ‘The Glory of the Garden’, and Puck of Pook’s Hill, named after the hill visible from the house.

The rooms are much as he left them: oriental rugs and artifacts from his Eastern adventures, a booklined study, his Nobel prize certificate for literature, a phonograph playing music and his Rolls Royce still in the garage. A stunning garden with an orchard, herb garden, pond and wildflower meadow surrounds the house. Just a short stroll by the river reveals a watermill and beyond that there are farmland walks. Garry Enstone, who is a lecturer at Bateman’s, will be giving the illustrated talk at St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford, on Tuesday 5th June, at 2.30pm. Tickets are £7, including tea and cakes, from the church or from the estate agents Newberry Tully at 53 Church Street, Seaford. Everyone is welcome. Photo c/o The National Trust: Bateman’s House

Seaford Striders London Marathon It may have been the hottest London Marathon on record, but Seaford Strider Josh Nisbett managed to hold his cool and beat his target time of 3 hours 30 minutes. Despite the mercury rising to an unseasonably warm temperature of 23 degrees, Josh also managed to smash his previous personal best by more than 51 minutes. Having slightly overachieved on his splits in the first three miles of the race, Josh settled into a steady, consistent pace from mile five to mile 19. By mile 20, he had speeded up by a minute each mile. Josh had followed the race director’s advice to ‘sip and tip’ water throughout the duration of the race and use the showers provided. He had also seen a number of runners collapse on the 26.2 mile route due to the effects of the heat, making him even more aware of the warm conditions. He said: ‘From 22 miles onwards, I started to feel the heat – it was the hottest marathon on record at 23°C. No amount of water being taken on, poured over my head or shaded tunnels seemed to cool me down, and my pace inevitably slowed. This was frustrating as aerobically I felt fine, I was just overheating.’ Josh doubled down and focused on running his own race in his bid to beat his target time: ‘I knew my first half was strong coming in under target at 1:42, so I had a little buffer to play with. Running the last mile past Big Ben and Buckingham Palace I took in the sights, atmosphere and the amazing support from the crowds. Sure enough, my earlier pace was enough to see me beat my target time of under 3 hours 30 minutes, coming in 3 hours 28 minutes and 54 seconds. All in all, I knocked 51 minutes and 15 seconds off my PB (personal best), which in those conditions I was very happy about.’ Phil Carr also completed the London Marathon in 3:38:31. Photo: Josh Nisbett at the finish with his medal.

Brighton Marathon The Brighton Marathon Weekend once again proved a popular draw for Seaford Striders with 16 club members joining nearly 18,000 runners for the Brighton Marathon and BM10k. Striders also joined the 150,000-strong crowd of spectators in near perfect spring weather conditions to cheer on their team mates, giving them plenty of encouragement and support on their way to the finish line. In the marathon, Josh Rudd attacked the distance in his usual style, beating his 2017 time by nearly two minutes in 2:55:48, finishing the race in 74th place. Dave Dunstall came in next in 3:15:28. He was followed by Phil Robinson in 3:51:27 with Ben Shorer close behind at 3:51:59, knocking a massive 1hr 14 minutes off his previous PB time. Next, it was the turn of the ladies with Emily Eaton crossing the line in 4:03:02, closely followed by Anneka Redley in 04:04:25 and Amanda Feast in 04:37:20. Richard Honeyman completed the race for the Striders in 04:38:15. Striders running in the BM10k returned home with a clutch of personal bests. Nick Farley came home first with a PB of 40:40, followed by Ben Barnett in 43:15. Jazz Shiret completed the race in 55:00, followed by Abigail Grundy with a PB of 56:21 and closely followed by Michael Pickering in 56:49. Michelle Varndell, held back by a calf injury, was pleased to finish the race in 58:17, she was followed by Debbie Plant in 59:57 and Becky Souissi with a PB of 1:05:35. Striders also demonstrated their team spirit from the sidelines. Those competing were cheered on with enthusiastic shout outs from Ju Taylor and Trev Jones as they reached Ovingdean, with Victoria Maleski helping marshal nearby at Blind Veterans UK. Andy Farley and Tom Roper took on race support roles at a water station and within the medical centre.

A DAY OF MEDITATION AND CREATIVITY

Vajrasati

With Rosie Waters

With Robin Shell

Tuesday 3rd July, 10am - 5pm, Florence House, Southdown Road. £50. This day is about healing. We will work with two interconnecting themes: the healing power of crystals and healing from Nature. We will begin with a deep relaxation and meditation. This will lead us to an exploration of the Chakra system, how it supports us and what happens when the chakras are weakened. I will then introduce some of the crystals that I use regularly and participants will have the chance to play with, and get to know, a wide range of crystals; exploring their uses for healing and protection. We will then look at our own strengths and weaknesses and consider which crystals we need to support us and enhance our own individual healing. During the morning each participant will gather their own unique collection of crystals to take home and use for their own ongoing wellbeing. We will also look at how best to cleanse and care for crystals. Finally for the morning session, there will be a workshop to prepare and decorate a special container for storing your crystals. After lunch we will explore the healing power of Nature. Firstly we will do a relaxation and meditation and then we will go out into the beautiful garden of Florence House where we will spend time connecting to the energy and spirits of this lovely place to ask for healing and guidance. On our return you will each be invited to respond to your experience in your own way through writing in your journal, painting, drawing, collage or clay. The day will end with a coming together ritual to celebrate our connection with sound and chanting. For more information or to book a place (places are limited so please book early), please contact Robin Shell at robinshell63@gmail.com or ring me on 07956 555688 no later than 12th June.

SUPER HUMAN TO HUMAN

By Judy Renihan

If you’re finding the fight to be super human exhausting, why not hang up your cape for a bit? Is there a voice in your head constantly nagging you to ‘do better’? Are you becoming obsessed with over-achieving? Psychologists are now recognising this persistent need for betterment as a syndrome. In my own therapy practice, I see people of all ages berating themselves for not achieving as they had hoped; not being the size they think they ought to be, not getting the grades they had hoped, not being able to do things they used to do. It’s the ‘should’ word again; that voice in our head telling us we’re not good enough. To make matters worse there is a bombardment of media promising to deliver a ‘better way’ of being us; podcasts, magazines, books, TV, DVD, the list is endless. In reality, of course, this quest for perfection is a fool’s errand because perfection doesn’t exist. Why not give yourself a break and settle for ‘good enough’. Here are some ways to ease yourself into ‘Good Enough’.

Come Out of Your Comfort Zone at Your Own Pace

Conquer fears and inhibitions in bite size-chunks. If speaking in public scares you, practice on family and friends, then address smaller groups until you gain confidence. New challenges are great for building selfesteem, but ask yourself if you really want to take them on? Will your life really be better if you bungie jump off the Houses of Parliament? Take on new challenges that interest you, not because someone else is telling you these are the challenges you ‘should’ be taking on.

Make Decisions Your Choice

Make improvements because you want to, not because someone else is dictating who you ‘should’ be.’ Ask yourself what ‘you’ want, you won’t always get what you want, sometimes we have to compromise, but you choose what compromises you make.

Be Aware of Your Own Limitations

It doesn’t matter what your friend, or next-door neighbour does, know what you can achieve and where you want to set the bar for yourself. I’m not suggesting that you don’t raise the bar from time to time and set yourself new goals. We’re all different, we lose weight at different speeds, learn at a different pace and are scared of different things. Becoming more aware of yourself will help you set your own achievable goals.

Find Balance

Once you have discovered what your own goals are and are happy and confident in your choices, then balance is the key. Take time out to chill and listen to the music you want to listen to. Lie in sometimes. Have the odd rebellious piece of chocolate cake. Being naughty occasionally is healthy. In his book The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less, psychologist Barry Schwartz divides people into ‘Satisficers’ and ‘Maximisers’. Satisficers may not follow the latest fashion or have bought the latest iPhone instead they settled for ‘good enough’. Maximisers feel they must always choose the best possible option and are constantly chasing the latest gadget. Schwartz found that ‘Satisficers’ were consistently happier. ‘Maximisers’ usually earnt more money, but they were less satisfied in their work. In fact, they were more likely to become clinically depressed. You may never look like Elle Macpherson, be a great orator like Churchill or as clever as Einstein. We don’t need to be super human. For a happier life we can settle for ‘good enough’.

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.

Patient Participation Group Would you like to have a say about provision of Seaford’s Health Care Services? Old School Surgery has a very active Patient Participation Group and they are always keen to welcome new members. Meetings are held bimonthly at the surgery for about an hour in the early evening. The group’s function is to represent the patient’s perspective. They work closely with the Practice to find ways of improving the overall experience of using health care services. To increase their understanding of the suitability and quality of services the Patient Participation Group is also planning to establish a ‘virtual team’. This team would be asked regularly, by email, to share their experiences of the primary, secondary or social care they have received. (Anything shared – good or bad – would be treated in the strictest confidence).

The Patient Participation Group believes that the ever-increasing demands on the Health Service caused by an ageing population with complex needs, together with spiralling costs of high tech treatments mean that fundamental changes are inevitable if the service is to remain free ‘at the point of contact’. There has never been a better time to become involved in these changes! If you have an interest in Health Care provision in Seaford and would like to join the Patient Participation Group or the virtual team please contact the Practice or email Richard West at: oldschoolpatients@outlook. com Look out for Local and National Patient Participation awareness events during the first week of June.

SEAFORD CHORAL SOCIETY

SONGS FOR SUMMER

Saturday 23rd June, 7pm, Seaford Baptist Church, Belgrave Road Following successes of recent years, the choir will perform their summer concert at Seaford Baptist Church on Saturday 23rd June. We shall be performing a delightful selection of beautiful choral songs from across the ages and continents, including works by Leonard Bernstein, Roger Quilter, Grieg, Parry, Rachmaninoff, Jerome Kern and Mascagni, to name but a few. Colin Hughes, our popular Music Director and Conductor, will lead the evening, with accompaniment provided by the much-celebrated John Eady. The choir will also be joined by Rebecca Anstey who, along with Colin and John, will provide some highly entertaining instrumental and mezzo interludes. This will prove to be a very different but very special occasion and we do hope that as many as possible of you can come and enjoy this summer evening with us. Refreshments will be provided, and tickets costing £10 and £5 for children aged 16 and under can be purchased from our supporters, Newberry Tully Estate Agents, 53 Church Street, Seaford, from Steamworks (in Seaford Station building) and also on the door on the evening of the concert.

which will take place round about the time of the centenary celebrations of the end of the First World War. Ideas are being pooled and refined, contributions from specific individuals are being considered. The choir will once again be joined by the choir from Seaford Primary School. Looking overall at the work being undertaken by members of the choir, these are exciting times! To find out further details and more about the choir, please find us at: www.seaford-choral-society.com Photo: Colin Hughes, Seaford Choral Society’s Music Director and Conductor.

Know Your Blood Pressure Event An enthusiastic response from Seaford people enabled the club to achieve a tremendous result of 117 blood pressure tests completed and 8 in-depth health checks carried out. This Know Your Blood Pressure event, held on 5th May, was part of a national project between the Stroke Association and Rotary International Britain and Ireland. The success of this project in Seaford was due

102

in no small part to the high visibility of the stand and for this we give thanks to Tansleys Printers for agreeing to the use of their yard on Broad Street as the venue. Peter White, our Town Crier, alerted shoppers in several streets to the availability of the quick and free blood pressure tests and we were pleased that our press releases were reported by local papers. The article in May’s edition of Seaford Scene also drew in members of the public, and an interview on Reg Dove’s Sunday Breakfast Show helpfully highlighted the upcoming event. The ‘One You’ East Sussex Community NHS Health checks provided by Sussex Community Development Association based from Newhaven provided a ‘Health Navigator’ for the in-depth health checks, including cholesterol and blood sugar testing. Significantly, the ambulance and crew provided by Southern Ambulance Services Ltd enabled quick and accurate blood pressure testing in addition to those carried out by our own volunteer nurses and first aiders.

Seaford Community Calendar The Martello Rotary Club is very pleased to announce that it is going to be arranging the printing and sales of the Seaford Community Calendar later in the year. The calendar will have images of Seaford and local villages through the seasons and we hope that it will be available to buy at the end of August. In the meantime, we are asking for all you photographers out there to submit your images to the dedicated email account: seafordcommunitycalendar@gmail.com. You can also find details on Facebook, search Seaford Community Calendar. The Martello Rotary Club meets on Monday evenings at Seaford Golf Club and welcomes new members.

Town Council Commits to a Plastic Free Seaford! Seaford Town Council councillors voted unanimously to support the Plastic Free Coastlines campaign through committing to plastic free alternatives and supporting plastic free initiatives within the Town of Seaford; a movement spearheaded by Surfers Against Sewage’s (SAS) and their Regional Representative, Claire Sumners. All of Seaford Town Council’s properties have been reviewed for the use of single use plastic and action has been taken to start removing these items from Seaford Town Council offices and The View restaurant, bar and function venue. As well as its efforts to encourage local communities to help keep coastlines clear of litter, Surfers Against Sewage has created a further campaign to help whole towns achieve Plastic Free status.

Seven Sisters Pet Care Whether you are stuck at work, out for the day or on holiday, want to break the day up for your pet or simply want to spoil your pooch, we can help!

*Dog Walking *Pet Grooming *Pop in Visits *Holiday Care *Taxi & More

Fully insured, CRB checks & references available. Please phone Suzy for more info 07398 135007 / 01323 890453 www.sevensisterspetservices.co.uk

There are five objectives that Surfers Against Sewage qualify as the criteria in getting towns to become successfully plastic free. These five objectives all encompass taking local policy action, committing to ditching single-use plastic and making a concerted effort to make alternatives readily available. It is a Community effort and will involve organising fundraisers and putting together a Steering Group from the Community, combining a range of local businesses, Chamber of Commerce representatives and Town Councillor representation. Claire from Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) has started to create a Steering Group which currently has 2 of Seaford Town Councillors as named representatives to the group. This group is to help ensure the longevity for the campaign and lead by example; these meetings will be held in public for all to attend. Once Seaford Town has achieved the five objectives, the town will be awarded the ‘Plastic Free Status’, which is similar to the FairTrade model which Seaford Town has already obtained. Businesses within Seaford Town will be awarded approved business stickers and certificates. For more information and any questions or to join the steering group for Seaford Town’s Plastic Free status please do contact Claire Sumners or visit the Facebook page; www.facebook.com/PlasticFreeSeaford/ Claire’s next beach clean for Surfers Against Sewage will take place on Sunday 10th June, meeting at Martello Tower from 10am if anyone would like to join her, further details can also be found www.facebook.com/PlasticFreeSeaford/

Lunch at Church Lane Tea Room

Chris’s Catering Catering for all occasions

To judge a book by it’s cover can be frowned upon, after all, first impressions often belie the whole truth. However, Church Lane Tea Rooms is bucking that particular trend. Because what you see here, is exactly what you get. Set on the corner of Church Lane, this cosy almost homely haunt is serving up food just as tempting as it’s kerb appeal. There are several certainties you can rely on with Steve at the helm of this bustling tea room: good home-cooked food, made with the freshest local ingredients, is one of them. Soup will always feature on the ever changing blackboard, in some guise – pea, watercress and spinach, so green was the bowl I could literally feel it’s desperate attempts to cleanse my unhealthy lifestyle with each spoonful.

Ollivers Restaurant

As with a lot of things in life, it is wise to pace yourself during a Church lane lunch. It’s all about the long game here, with a three-tiered lemon drizzle shaped medal at the end. If it’s a sandwich you’re looking for to fuel the afternoon perhaps try the hummus, grated carrot and spinach, perfect for vegan friends. Or how about salmon and cream cheese? Goats cheese with red onion marmalade, is on my must-eat list next time.

Tel. Church Lane Tea Room on 07933 843710. Open daily, 9am to 4.30pm.

Another of those certainties you can rely on at Church Lane is ‘hearty’. I’m talking pies. Freshly made, crumbling pastry, encasing generous pieces of chicken, ham, beef – whatever has been cooked that day. Or you may like to try the brie and cranberry quiche, which was superb. If you are lucky you’ll arrive on a day when the infamous ‘Sussex Pie’ graces the menu. The recipe is a closely guarded secret. I have it on good authority that Church Lane is one of the only places it can be found.

Local author publishes ‘When Love Turns to Harm’ A story of strength, courage, truth and a way to love the Authentic Self. Lorraine grew up in Hereford. In her early twenties she moved from Devon to West Sussex and later settled in Seaford. She started writing six years ago after going through an emotionally stressful time. The book started as journal/diary entries and evolved to story writing as a cathartic way of giving her perspective. To deal with the traumatic events in her life, Lorraine practised self-healing techniques; Reiki and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping) and Matrix Re-imprinting (a technique used to access subconscious negative belief systems/memories and turn them into positive ones). The memories of the past revealed that Lorraine had repeated a similar pattern in her relationships. The selfhealing writing grew and grew, and Lorraine drew upon

these experiences and then one day realised that the writing had turned into a book, a book that she felt could help other people. The book follows the life of a young lady called Jennifer Smith. She is a happy-go-lucky young lady full of adventure, determined and independent. She works hard, travels extensively and finds herself in unfulfilling relationships, eventually ending up in an abusive marriage. Her story is one of strength and courage. Even if you have never been in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship, the book has a message for everyone. Lorraine is an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT (Tapping))/Matrix Re-imprinting Practitioner, Reiki Master Teacher and Tarot Reader.

Seaford Afternoon Flower Club At our April meeting, visiting demonstrator Lucinda Knapman, from Rustington, presented ‘A Florist’s Perspective’. As well as being a very talented florist, Lucinda’s arrangements were all stunning and inspiring. The arrangements were raffled at the end of her demonstration. The Competition was ‘Lines and Curves’ – this really stretched our members’ imaginations with some very interesting exhibits. Our meeting this month will be on Thursday 21st June in the beautiful garden of one of our members. We will be having a cream tea and we will be running a plant stall and other items will be on sale, plus a tombola and raffle. We are keeping our fingers crossed for clement weather as we have always been lucky in the past. We hope our good fortune continues.

MP JOINS CARE STAFF OF DEMENTIA CARE CENTRE TO CELEBRATE ACHIEVEMENTS Local MP Maria Caulfield joined staff at Seaford’s Clifden House Dementia Care Centre to congratulate the team on the home’s recent CQC ‘good’ rating. Established almost 50 years ago, Clifden House Dementia Care Centre has the capacity for 59 residents. For the last 20 years, it has purely focused on delivering specialised care for dementia sufferers. At the forefront of this dementia care are 54 staff whose commitment to providing exceptional care was commented on by the inspectors. To celebrate these achievements, Clifden House has been given a new look with new branding, new uniforms and a lovely new bus. Maria Caulfield, MP for Lewes, said: ‘This is a great achievement for all the staff at Clifden House and I congratulate them on their ‘good’ CQC rating. Working in nursing myself, I fully appreciate the level of care required to achieve this.’ Nial Joyce of Clifden House said: ‘We are very lucky to have the staff we have at Clifden House. The team provides kind, compassionate and dignified care to everyone in the home. It means so much that Maria came out to support us and recognises the work we do for our residents here. So many thanks to her for making the effort.’ Local man Barry, whose wife is cared for at Clifden House said: ‘As soon as I walked into the dementia care centre in Seaford, I had a really good feeling about the place. As a specialist in dementia care it

is totally geared up for Alison’s condition. For the first time in a long time, I had a sense of calm. I just knew that Alison would be happy here – I even got to choose her room.’ Nial said: ‘We understand that it is never easy making the decision for a loved one to go into care. There are very often mixed feelings of guilt and relief, worry and peace. Whatever care home people chose, it is very important that residents treat it as their own home. ‘Nevertheless, it is important to monitor and chat to the staff, look at the care they provide and their interaction with those in their care. A visible positive interaction between staff and residents should be just as uppermost in your mind as taking in the furnishings, decor and gardens.’ Clifden House provides specialist and individually tailored care and support to over 50 people living with dementia, all with varying levels of need. About Clifden House Dementia Care Centre: Established 50 years ago, Clifden House Dementia Care Centre in Seaford specialises in providing residential and respite dementia care. It enables the individual to lead an active lifestyle with privacy, dignity and security.

CONCENTUS SINGS IN SUMMER

Saturday 9th June, 7pm, St Leonard’s Church, Church Street.

is played each year at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday; the gentle, evocative A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (Manning Sherwin/Eric Maschwitz, 1939), which was very popular during and after WW2; and Wagner’s Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin (1850), which is Concentus’ marking of the Royal Wedding, with a melody which all will recognise although the words may be unfamiliar.

Concentus is all set with an exciting and exhilarating concert to sing for you on Saturday 9th June, when you will hear great music sung with a sensitivity and feeling which draws out all that each piece is subtly expressing and invites you to experience what is hidden within the words.

A bit of fun – with words you may not have heard before – comes in an old favourite from 1907: ‘I do like to be beside the seaside’ (J A Glover-Kind). This was the signature tune for Reginald Dixon’s long-running radio show (1930-1970) from Blackpool’s Tower Ballroom, where he played the famous Wurlitzer organ.

There will be solos, duets and group items; humour will be present, as well as at least one of the more ‘wacky, off the wall’ pieces which Musical Director Adrian White tends to put into each concert performed by Concentus. Will you be able to spot what falls into that category?

Concentus has been running a competition for a new piece of music to be composed especially for the choir. The winner was declared as Clive Whitburn, a local man from Eastbourne who won the prize of £100 and his composition, Pax Amor Caritas, (Peace Love Charity) will have its debut performance at this concert.

Adrian commemorates the 100th anniversary of the ending of WW1 directly and indirectly throughout the concert with music illustrating aspects of conflict, and through pieces which highlight the antidotes to conflict – love, compassion and renewal – with some works touching on both sides.You might find it interesting to decide for yourself where each piece would fit, and perhaps it won’t fit at all – one of Adrian’s ‘quirky’ pieces?

The concert concludes with the rousing and inspiring song One Day More (C-M Schonberg/H Kretzmer) from the 2012 film version of Les Miserables, which paints a memorable sound picture of lives and emotions caught up in revolution. Listen carefully and you will hear the steady tramp of a downtrodden people, new-found lovers fearing separation, scoundrels anticipating their gains from the turmoil, law-enforcers relishing their power over the common people, the internal battle of ‘shall I join the fight?’ – all delivered in an escalating riot of sound.

Amongst many other works you will hear: the hauntingly beautiful melody of the Military Wives song Wherever You Are (Paul Mellor, 2011), whose poignant words were compiled partly from letters between the wives and partners of military serving personnel; Edward Elgar’s 1899 Requiem Aeternam, the choral version of Nimrod from the Enigma Variations. Sub-titled Eternal Rest, this

seaford kurlers

Half way through the year does not seem possible. Best we all make the most of it. The sport of New Age Kurling is a great way to spend some time. So why not come along to see our sport at the Downs Leisure Centre, Seaford. We are are there every Tuesday from 2pm until 4pm. We have had some new members to join us recently and they are thoroughly enjoying themselves as well as the sport, we all are a friendly bunch and have all made new friends. Because of the word KURLING, a number of enquiries are from people who have seen CURLING on sports programmes on the television. Quite often they are surprised and think they have found an ice rink in Seaford! The two sports are similar but different. New Age Kurling is played on a wooden sports hall floor that is marked out for badminton and not on ice like curling. The game and the aim of the sport is very similar to bowling. The target is marked out in coloured rings with a

‘bullseye’ in the centre. There are four players to each team. Each team has 4 ‘stones’, one set is red and the other is blue. The aim is to get as many of your team’s stones into the scoring zone as possible. The nearest to the centre is the scoring colour. If the other team also has stones in the scoring area, then they do not count. If any of their stones are closer to the target than your other stones, then your other stones are not scoring ones. The game was invented by John Bennet. In 2002 he watched the Scottish Ladies win Gold Medal at the Winter Olympics. His son was disabled and had never been able to play sport alongside his friends. He was only able to compete in disability sports that were played against other disabled players. John sat and thought about this and after many trials he devised NEW AGE KURLING. No matter what level of mobility you have, you can play our sport alongside fully able bodied players. So if you have a back problem or knee problem for instance, you do not have to bend as we have pushers to launch the stones. In fact, a number of our members prefer to launch their stones in this way. Come along and see for yourselves. We stop about half time for refreshments. The restaurant in Wave Leisure provides great food in very pleasant surroundings. Wave staff are always very welcoming. Apart from the sport itself, we have a social calendar. We try to arrange two coach trips a year and we also have our Annual Christmas Lunch. This has recently been held at the Seaford Branch of the The Royal British Legion. This venue has become the one of choice because of the excellent food and the cost, as well as being in the town. Contact June Wood, Secretary, Tel 01323 895376 Email: sally1989@tiscali.co.uk
