Stage Arts and cultural events in the Seaford area Welcome to the latest of our regular updates on what is going on within Seaford’s vibrant arts and cultural scene, compiled by Robin Shell and myself.

Screen

Seaford Community Cinema is showing the Palme d’Ornominated The Handmaiden on Friday 3rd November at the Barn Theatre. Expect adult content in this tale about a handmaiden involved in a plot to defraud her Japanese heiress employer. The Saturday matinée on 4th November is A United Kingdom, a true story about Prince Seretse Khama of Bechuanaland who falls in love with a white British clerk. Their defiant love sparks a diplomatic firestorm. The Follies come to Seaford from the Weismann Theatre, New York in an NT Live screening on Thursday 16th November, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. And on Friday 17th November there’s the stop-motion animation My Life as a Courgette, about learning to trust, and set in a foster home.

On Friday 1st December it’s the Oscar Best Foreign Language film The Salesman, in which a couple, both actors, move to Tehran only to become embroiled in a drama involving the previous tenant. As they play Death of a Salesman on stage, off stage the wife is assaulted and her husband seeks her attacker. The following day at 6pm the cinema concludes the town’s Christmas Magic extravaganza with Wonder Woman. On Thursday 7th December the cinema is screening Young Marx with NT Live, starring Rory Kinnear and Oliver Chris. Europe’s most feared terrorist is hiding in Soho, broke, restless and horny. Never mind that his enemies are everywhere, he knows how to party. No wonder Engels is in despair.

On Friday 8th December it’s the Oscar Best Film winner Moonlight, in which a young boy who lives with his neglectful mother in a crime-ridden part of Miami is guided by a drug dealer friend and his caring girlfriend. As he grows into manhood he confronts his sexuality.

NT Live screenings start at 7pm, films at 7.30pm, with matinées at 2.30pm unless otherwise stated. For tickets book online at www.seafordcinema.org, buy from the

by Margaret Kennedy, being staged between Friday 10th and Saturday 18th November at 7.45pm with a matinée on Saturday 11th November at 2.30pm. There’s a party for the deputy mayor of New York, no kitchen staff to prepare the food, and then the host shoots himself in the head… Tickets in person from Redgolds opticians in Broad Street.

We had a wonderful visit to Farley’s Farmhouse in September. On our way there we stopped at Lime Cross Nursery and Herstmonceux Church. Then on to Farley’s Farmhouse where three groups spent around 50 minutes each being shown around the house by two very informative guides. The history of the family and the arts movement was very interesting. There were many paintings and photographs to see, including those by Man Ray, Max Ernst, Miro and Picasso.

The Lee Miller photographic exhibition was very interesting. During WWII she had gone into war zones with the American fighters, and took a series of photos of what she saw there. In the Barn, Keith Pettit was holding a workshop for wood engravers. It was fascinating to see their work. Some of Keith’s wooden sculptures were in the garden. They fitted in well with the permanent sculptures like Sea Creature, Mother and Child, Magic Stallion and Fallen Giant.

Another lovely outing, we’re looking forward to our trip to Hever Castle in December.

SEAFORD MUSEUM & HERITAGE SOCIETY

‘We've got the builders in...’

Not everyone is happy at the idea of having the builders in, but the Trustees of Seaford Museum are absolutely delighted to confirm that they have appointed Seaford based building company, H Wilson (Alfriston) Ltd as a main contractor for their new Seaford Museum Improved Access Project.

‘The project has three main elements’ explains Museum Chairman Kay Turvey. ‘An iconic new pedestrian footbridge; a wheelchair friendly lift and extensive ramping which will allow better access to the main moat level exhibition area in the Museum’.

The footbridge, which will lead from the public pavement to the original Martello Tower front door will be constructed and installed by Portslade based Millimetre Design UK. The design for the footbridge was produced

by Morgan Carn Partnership Architects of Brighton, who are also the general architects for the whole project. ‘It’s an exciting contemporary design which will be both eyecatching and up to the task of coping with the adverse weather conditions sometimes experienced on Seaford seafront’.

Before these planned building works the only access to the Museum, which is based in Martello Tower 74 on Seaford seafront, has been by way of two sets of steep stairs which can be difficult for even fully mobile visitors and volunteers, and so in addition to the footbridge, a new wheelchair-friendly lift is to be installed to help people get down to the moat level.

‘But even the footbridge and lift are not enough,’ adds Kay Turvey. ‘We are providing user friendly ramps into the main exhibition area as well as a safe route out into the dry moat in the event of a fire or other emergency’.

The overall cost of the project is around £300,000.

About two thirds of the money was provided by a generous donation from the Keith Baker Memorial Will Trust. Then when the project seemed stalled, the National Lottery, through the Heritage Lottery Fund, stepped in to provide a grant of up to a further £100,000. There have also been donations from other local groups and individuals.

12

With all the major building work taking place it might be easy to overlook the efforts of the Museum's trusty team of volunteers. ‘We have such a wide range of skills and talents in our volunteers that there is almost nothing they can’t, or won’t try to do and without them the Museum simply couldn’t exist. That said, we can always use more new volunteers’, says Kay. For almost 40 years the Museum has had to advise potential visitors that ‘owing to the nature of the listed building, there is no lift or wheelchair access’, but that should be rectified by the Spring of 2018 when the new facilities will be opened to the public.

‘H. Wilson(Alfriston) Ltd started the preparatory work at the beginning of October and the various phases of the overall project will be continuing through into the New Year. Unfortunately there is bound to be some disruption to the normal smooth running of the Museum during this period and some closures of the Museum will be inevitable to ensure the work can be done in a safe way.

‘We will try to ensure there is as little disturbance as possible. We plan to maintain our normal programme of talks through the period, although we may have to use different halls so we would ask that museum members and others keep an eye on our advertisements and the Museum website (www.seafordmuseum.co.uk).

‘This project was first mooted in 2010 and it’s been a long and sometimes frustrating journey, but we feel sure that all the trials and tribulations will be forgotten when we welcome our first visitors who are able to use of improved access arrangements’.

Equity Release Specialists

We are local based Equity Release specialists who are based in Seaford.

We offer face to face appointments in our Seaford office or home visits.

Arranging an Equity Release can seem like a daunting process, we take care with our clients and advise and help throughout the process. We appreciate there are important decisions to made, that is why we believe in taking time over each application.

Many of our clients release a small initial amount under Equity Release, on average around £20,000, and also have additional funds in reserve, this means that if additional borrowing is required then the funds are usually a phone call away.

A lifetime mortgage creates a debt against your home. It’s a big decision, and there are many factors to consider. That’s why you can only get a lifetime mortgage through a specialist regulated lifetime mortgage adviser.

To find out more and discover if Equity Release is right for you, we advise an informal meeting so we can explain in detail how Equity Release works and the effect of roll up of interest, the roll up of interest can grow quickly and be significant over a long period, we can show you the effect over 10-15/20 years.

Our typical fee for arranging an Equity Release mortgage is £695.

Seaford Photographic Society The season got off to a good start in September with a large number of entries for the first round of the Print League competition, judged by Kevin Bell LRPS. A wide range of subjects was covered but the three highest scoring prints were all nature themed. In the Standard group only one scored the maximum 20/20, a beautiful picture of an egret by Lisbet Clancy entitled ‘I Think I’ve Spotted Something’, taken at Marari Beach in Kerala, India. There were 44 entries in the Advanced group and two images scored 20/20, both of which were taken by Janice Hewitt! Congratulations for this excellent start to the season – it looks like Janice is going to be the one to beat this year, not that any of us gets that competitive of course. ‘Gliding Gannet’ was taken at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire, home to the only mainland breeding colony of gannets in England. The dandelion clock photo, entitled ‘Puff ’, was very carefully set up and taken with a slow shutter speed in order to create the smoky effect.

The second round of the PDI League is on the 17th for which we welcome Brighton’s Wayne Grundy ARPS to take on the judging duties. On the 24th we are pleased to see the return of Glyn Bareham LRPS CPAGB to judge the annual Landscape Print competition. If previous years are anything to go by we can expect to see some stunning entries for this, featuring images from all around the world. On 10th November we are hosting the Marrutt Trophy, which is the annual inter-club competition between Seaford, Seven Sisters and Bexhill.

The club does seem to be going from strength to strength and we are delighted to be seeing many more people attending our meetings this season.

Most of you will know of Kevin Gordon, our local history expert. We were pleased to welcome him to SPS as a new club member and to give us one of his famous talks on Historic Seaford. This was a fascinating evening and we learned much about the history of our town.

To complete the month our own Jack Taylor presented a tutorial entitled ‘Photoshop Unscrambled’. This was a very useful and comprehensive introduction to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, emphasising how the two programs do different things but also how they complement each other. Nobody should be in any doubt after this just how good Lightroom is for indexing all your photos and carrying out basic adjustments.

It is very intuitive to use as well. Following these initial adjustments an image can then be exported to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements if more complicated editing is required.

So, what have we got in store for November? There is a full programme of competitions coming up this month, starting with Round 2 of the Print League on the 3rd, judged by Malcolm Bull from Steyning Camera Club.

East Blatchington Lectures

Extra lecture

An extra East Blatchington lecture is to be given this year, on Tuesday 5th December, by a popular regular speaker, the art historian Kay Blackburn.

She will be talking on the subject of ‘Aspects of Love’, characteristically illustrating her theme with pictures of various works of art through the ages.

Among the artists featured will be Antonio Allegri da Correggio (August 1489 – March 5, 1534), usually known as Correggio. He was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the

Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the 16th century. He was born in Correggio, Italy.

Steve and Udo have taken over the café as of October 5th and will continue in the same vein, taking bookings for brunch and lunch...and the baking will continue!

Seaford Little Theatre

RUMOURS

It is the wedding anniversary of prominent government official, Charley Brooks. His lawyer, Ken, and wife Chris arrive at his opulent townhouse for the celebrations, but Charley’s wife is nowhere in sight and it seems that something awful has happened. This hapless pair must get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive.

As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farce. A thoroughly enjoyable evening of hilarity.

HARVEST IS OVER AND CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

What generosity was shown by schools and churches in the Seahaven area as they donated their Harvest Festival produce to the Storehouse last month! Week by week we received beautiful fresh vegetables and fruit plus a large variety of tinned and packeted goods. Our friends at the Storehouse were delighted with all they received and, we are told, some experimented for the first time by making meals using the more unusual fresh ingredients made available to them.

We are so thankful to all those who give groceries, either occasionally, or regularly via the boxes in Morrisons and the two Co-ops. Particularly we would also like to thank Burt’s Bakery who every week supply us with delicious breads and buns, and also Tesco’s and Morrisons who donate to us surplus fresh goods when available.

Trevor and Brenda Gomersal of Citizens’ Advice Bureau set up shop weekly on a Thursday at the Storehouse, and our friends who are in need are pleased to use their services, often to help them to determine the benefits that they are entitled to. But Trevor is also a member of Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford Lions’ Club. Imagine our pleasure and surprise when Dirk Smit, President of that Club, walked in one Thursday morning brandishing an oversize cheque for £500. To say we were grateful would be an understatement!

Jim Austin is one of our valued volunteers, formerly a member of Seaford Martello Rotary Club. Jim noticed recently that we were struggling to manage transporting the groceries for packing the food parcels with broken

and unsuitable boxes and trolleys. Within a few weeks, we received a cheque to cover the whole amount of replacing both boxes and trolleys. We were overwhelmed with the kindness of our Rotary friends... and our job has now been made so much easier.

We were delighted when Seaford Twinning Association, at their winding-up Annual General Meeting in September, donated a cheque for £300. This has been invested ready to be used to stock up our shelves to meet the Christmas demand.

We are now beginning to collect goods for our Christmas boxes.You will have read previously how we like to bless our Storehouse friends with additional groceries and seasonal goodies over Christmas, as well as the usual food parcels. We can only do that thanks to the generosity of all those who donate, perhaps via the boxes, or in some other way. If you find it difficult to get to the supermarkets where our boxes are placed, you can always text or email the Storehouse to find out what is needed and how to get it to us.

So thank you, kind people of Seaford, for making it possible for those themselves unable to put a meal on the table for their families, an especial necessity now that the weather is getting colder. We take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and healthy Christmas holiday, and please know how much your generosity means to so many you may never meet.

For further information, please text the Storehouse on 07921 844930 or email seahavenstorehouse@gmail.com Photos fom top: Justin presenting the cheque from Seaford Martello Rotary Club to Dawn Woodgate, flanked by members of the Seahaven Storehouse team; Presentation from Seaford Twinning Association.

BATTLE OF BRITAIN COMMEMORATED On Thursday 14th September, over fifty members and friends gathered at the Willingdon Golf Club for a formal dinner to commemorate the Battle of Britain.

Amongst the guests, as well as the Chair of Lewes District Council, were the Mayors of Peacehaven, Newhaven, Polegate and the Deputy Mayor of Seaford.

To represent the RAF we had Flt Lt Michelle Sheriff the OC of 1218 Squadron RAF Air Cadets based at Newhaven along with two cadet NCOs. During the after dinner speeches the Chairman, Bob Peedle MBE welcomed the guests and then gave an overview of the Battle of Britain, 1940. Flt Lt Michelle Sheriff responded on behalf of the guests and praised the work of the Royal Society with its generous gifts to local worthwhile causes and charities. The Air Cadets had been recipients of such gifts over the past seven years since the Seahaven Branch was formed in 2010.

every aspect of the evening was delightful not just a commemoration of the winning of a great battle by the RAF in 1940, but as an enjoyable and friendly function.’

Photo: Flt Lieutenant Michelle Sheriff and Cadet Corporal Billy Prout from the Newhaven Squadron of the Air Training Corps appearing on SeahavenFM’s Forces on Parade the week before the Battle of Britain dinner, which they both attended along with Cadet Sergeant Brendan Hawes.

A branch member, Jim Taylor, had donated some RAF memorabilia and this was auctioned on the understanding that whoever bought them should immediately give the items plus the money to the Cadets. This raised £75 for the Cadet funds.

Some of the guests at this event decided they would join the Seahaven Branch of the Royal Society, and this has brought the branch numbers up to one hundred.

Chairman Bob announced ‘This is great news, when I represent the branch at the Royal Society’s annual general meeting next month at the Tower of London, I can boast of this achievement.’ Branch President, Laurie Holland, said ‘The event was a great success,

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN AND SEAFORD LIONS CLUB September was quite a busy month for the Lions, with both business and pleasure! The month started with our President’s barbeque. A very enjoyable time was had by our Lions, friends and families. It was at this event that a Melvin Jones Fellowship was presented to Lion Trevor Gomersall, (photo right).

Melvin Jones was the person in America who started Lions Clubs in 1917. He envisaged a new type of service-centred club where members would put their talents to work to improve their communities.

Under the leadership of Melvin Jones membership grew and extended to Canada. The first club outside North America was in China in 1926, and the first club in Britain came in 1950. Today Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest volunteer service club organisation, with 1.4 million members in 193 countries. I wish we had a few more members in our club! Lions are involved in many projects nationally and internationally as well as locally – diabetes testing, working to improve eye health, disaster relief, cancer support (Leo House) and medical research are all key areas of work for the Lions. Lions get involved.

Why don’t you join us and get involved too?

We own and run two minibuses which we use in the community to ferry people to clubs and activities, particularly the old and the young – we take them to football (generally the young!), hard of hearing club, cricket, and partially sighted club, not to mention lunch and tea clubs. Mentioning the minibuses, we are now finding it more and more difficult to provide drivers. This is because we in the Lions Club are getting older. We really need some more drivers, if you are licenced to drive group D vehicles and would like to do some voluntary driving for us, get in touch with Dirk on 01323 898961. This is an important part of our community work and we would like it to continue, so don’t be shy give us a call.

We had a book sale on 17th September at Paradise Park. We would like to thank Paradise Park for all the support they give us. They have a box in which are placed unwanted books and glasses. These all help

34

us. Our glasses man collects 1,000 pairs of glasses a month from Paradise Park and local opticians. These are sent to the Lions in Chichester, who sort them and they are then used in developing countries. For those of you who drove past Paradise Park in August, no doubt you saw the sign advertising the Lions Book Sale. We take over the entrance and at our last effort raised nearly £150. With the help and support of Paradise Park we have raised £1,000 over the past year selling books. Thank you Mark and all your team for the support Paradise Park gives us.

The Club meets at 8pm on the fourth Thursday of each month at the White Lion Hotel, Seaford.

If you are interested in the Lions and the work we do give us a call on 0845 833 5981 or look at our website www.npslions.co.uk

SEAFORD LIONS BOOK SALE Hundreds of second-hand books were sold at a charity event in Newhaven, which raised much-needed funds for Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford Lions Club to be used on community projects.

‘Many thanks to all who helped out and everyone who bought books’, said the Lions’ Colin Clarke. ‘We sold over 400 books and are grateful to Tates of Sussex for hosting us once again at Paradise Park.’

Visit to Rouen-Rouvray

This was the second part of the process of Seaford and Rouen-Rouvray Rotary Clubs ‘getting to know each other’ after the Rouen Club’s visit to us in June. We had no idea of the arrangements that awaited us, but need not have been concerned. We could not have had a better experience.

Saturday dawned with clear skies and mild temperatures as we boarded the 9.30am ferry. The sun shone, the sea was calm and we arrived in Dieppe at 2.30pm local time to be welcomed by our hosts and taken for a comfortable drive of about an hour to the centre of Rouen. After parking, we walked to the Musée des Beaux Arts, where we spent time enjoying works by Caravaggio, Veronese, Rubens, Velázquez, Pissarro, Modigliani, Dufy and other famous painters including of course Monet and Sisley.

After transfer to a small hotel owned and run by Rouen-

38

Rouvray Rotarian Eric Corruble for a quick change, we were taken to a restaurant overlooking the modern Joan of Arc church, where we met and enjoyed dinner with many of our host club members.

This was a very friendly and rewarding occasion. After a short walk took us to the (much painted by Monet) cathedral to witness a hightech Son et Lumière show, which attracted huge crowds, and was completely free of charge.

The breakfast buffet on Sunday was full of choices and we could easily have spent a long time over it. We were met, however at 9.45am, and taken to the Jeanne d’Arc museum for a tour to delight any history buff. It was, of course, presented from a French perspective, but not blatantly so. A car journey to the Right Bank of the Seine and stroll along with numerous local people brought us to the popular K restaurant and a splendid Sunday brunch buffet, again with many host club members.

During the meal, in discussion with Rouen-Rouvray Rotary president Jean-Marc and immediate past president Marie, we learned that Rouen-Rouvray Rotary Club wished to form a twinning relationship with our Club.

We went on to agree the basis on which to move forward: • Visits to take place on alternate years starting with Rouen-Rouvray to Seaford in 2018 followed by Seaford to Rouen-Rouvray in 2019 • Duration two nights • Timing to be a weekend in September • Hotel (or similar) accommodation arranged by hosts but paid by guests • Hosts to pay for meals and any entry fees • Pickup and transport provided by hosts (car parking if needed by guests).

A further visit to the old town took us to the splendid Flamboyant Gothic church of Saint-Maclou (sometimes referred to as St Malo who came to Rouen from Wales!).

Associated with this church is an extraordinary cemetery/ ossuary which currently houses the School of Fine Arts –

perhaps not an ideal location. The more famous cathedral was our next stop where we saw the tomb of Richard the Lionheart.

twenty young people all with happy smiling faces, some in wheelchairs, and some able to get about under their own steam, but all clearly having a great time.

After a short stroll round the narrow streets and halftimbered houses we were taken back to Dieppe to board the 6pm ferry for another smooth crossing to Newhaven.

A range of activities, controlled by professional instructors, was posted for all to see, and he was immediately whisked off to the go karting. But it wasn’t just a question of watching; some needed help to get wheelchairs over ramps; some needed help to fasten their crash helmets before whizzing round the track, and it wasn’t just karting.

We thanked the hosts for their generosity and hospitality (using some fluent French and some sixty-year-old fractured French – though in fact language had not been a problem through the whole weekend) and said many sad goodbyes.

SASBAH at Lodge Hill Activity Centre SASBAH – What’s that?

There was everything from horse riding to archery, from blowing giant bubbles to getting touchy feely with a range of creatures including a racoon, an armadillo, a snake, and a very large spider.

Meets Wednesday lunchtime at Seaford Golf Club and welcomes new members. For more information contact us on http://www.seafordrotary.org.uk/ contact.php.

Photos: The old town of Rouen-Rouvray; Jim Anderson (4th from left back row) with members of SASBAH and Eastbourne Rotary AM.

Members of Seaford Rotary Club recently joined colleagues of the Eastbourne AM Club at one of their weekly meetings. On such occasions discussion about what each Club does ranges far and wide and one thing the Eastbourne members talked about was SASBAH, the Sussex Association of Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus.

Through this organisation each year, under the title of Breakaway, a number of young people are given the opportunity to have an activity weekend away to allow them to do something different, and to give their carers a break.

All this led to the Seaford Rotary Club agreeing to cover the cost of two young people from the Seaford area for the weekend which took place at the Lodge Hill Activity Centre near Pulborough.

The Breakaway ran from Friday to Sunday, and Rotarian Jim Anderson from the Seaford Club went along one day to provide support for the event. Jim wasn’t too sure what to expect, but to say it was an eye opener would be an understatement. He was met with a group of To advertise in Seaford Scene please call 01273 710793 or email fran@seafordscene.co.uk

It is in St Leonard’s church that the November concert will take place. As well as the works by Haydn and Chilcott sung by the choir, children from the choir of Seaford Primary School will contribute to the programme as well as joining in with carols. Members of the audience will also be invited to participate in singing carols.

Members of the choir have been heard to say after a recent rehearsal that they had enjoyed a good sing.

Should there be, among the readers of this article, someone who also enjoys a good sing, and can sing in tune, perhaps that person might consider joining the ranks of the choir even on a temporary basis. She/he would be made most welcome!

The programme includes Haydn’s Insanae et Vanae Curae, his Nelson Mass and Bob Chilcott’s A Little Jazz Mass. The children’s choir will sing two songs and will take part in the carol singing, in which the audience will also be invited to take part. We hope you find this programme attractive enough to join us on the evening.

Tickets are £12 each, available from Newberry Tully Estate Agents on Church Street, from November.

Be bolder with that shoulder

by Julian O’Vegetables

A late Sunday lunch with friends, after an Autumnal walk on a cold, crisp day is one of life’s joys. Especially if it takes in a warm pub. This Jamie Oliver recipe serves six hungry people and leaves scope for the aforementioned as it requires a four hour period of slow cooking. Much of the work can be done beforehand and the balsamic onion gravy adds a special twist to a favourite roast of meat.

Rosemary & garlic lamb shoulder with balsamic onion gravy & root veg mash Serves 6

Ingredients

2kg lamb shoulder, bone in; 1 bunch of fresh rosemary; 1 bulb of garlic; 2 teaspoons English mustard; olive oil; 6 red onions; 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar; 1 tablespoon plain flour; 1 splash of red wine, optional; 400g carrots; 2 cloves of garlic; 400g floury potatoes; 400g parsnips; extra virgin olive oil.

Method

Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Pick most of the rosemary leaves into a pestle and mortar and bash with a pinch of sea salt. Add 2 cloves of garlic and bash again. Muddle in the mustard and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Slash the lamb all over with a sharp knife, season with black pepper, then rub the rosemary mixture all over the lamb, getting into all the nooks and crannies.

Peel and thickly slice the onions, place in a large deep roasting tray with the remaining rosemary and unpeeled garlic cloves. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and pour in 200ml of cold water. Place the lamb shoulder on top and roast for 20 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and cover tightly with a double layer of foil, then return to the oven, turn the heat down to 160ºC/315ºF/ gas 2½, and cook for 4 hours. Remove the lamb from the tray and cover loosely with foil. Skim the fat from

the tray, discard the rosemary, and squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins. Place the tray on the hob over a medium heat, stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.

Add 500ml of boiling water and the wine, and stir well.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until thick and glossy. To make the root veg mash, peel and roughly chop the carrots and peel 2 cloves of garlic. Place in a large pan of boiling salted water over a medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes. Meanwhile peel and roughly chop the potatoes and parsnips, add them to the pan of boiling water with the carrots then cook for a further 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain in a colander and leave to steam dry. Tip back into the pan, add a lug of extra virgin olive oil, then mash. Season to taste. Shred up the lamb and serve up with the mash and onion gravy. Delicious served with steamed seasonal greens. Enjoy!

Maria Marchant releases her debut album The young British pianist Maria Marchant released her debut album, Echoes of Land & Sea, on SOMM Recordings on 1st September 2017.

• •

• •

Maria grew up in Seaford, from the age of 9 until she moved to London at 18 to attend a music conservatoire. She sang for many years in St Leonard's Church choir, and has since returned to the town to perform for Seaford Music Society.

Her debut album features three world premiere recordings, including Goodwood by the Sea, a work composed by the composer and baritone Roderick Williams for Marchant and premiered live at Shipley Arts Festival in 2016.

Roderick Williams has also been commissioned by the John Ireland Trust to write a new piano arrangement of Sea Fever, one of the best known and loved of all Ireland’s songs. The final premiere is the first recording of Vally Lasker's solo piano arrangement of Holst's Brook Green Suite. Lasker was assistant to Holst at St Paul’s Girls’ School, during Holst’s time as Director of Music.

Maria has long been a passionate advocate of British music, making her acclaimed Wigmore Hall and Southbank debuts in 2010 with British programmes.

She regularly performs works by Bliss, Britten and Ireland and many of her concerts are sponsored by the John Ireland Trust. Her debut album also includes evocative works by Britten, Leighton, Holst and Ronald Stevenson.

Echoes of Land & Sea was launched with a special recital at All Souls Church, Langham Place, London on Monday 18th September. Maria played music from the album including Goodwood by the Sea, and Roderick Williams introduced the live premiere of his new arrangement of Ireland’s Sea Fever.

Following Maria's first performance of Goodwood by the Sea last year, Williams commented: ‘I am hugely grateful to Maria for her haunting, magical premiere of Goodwood by the Sea – it was a great compliment to me and a sign of her dedicated professionalism. She brought my music alive with great sensitivity and made it glow in a way I had not imagined possible.’

Since being selected as a young artist by the Concordia Foundation, Park Lane Group and Tillett Trust schemes, Maris has been much in demand as a recitalist and has performed at numerous festivals, including Shipley Arts Festival, where she is pianist-in-residence.

CHRISTMAS ARTS @ CRYPT GALLERY

18th – 26th November Daily 10.30am – 4.30pm Sunday Opening at 11am

Once again we are happy to announce that the Christmas Arts@theCrypt fair will be taking place again, but the first thing we want to draw your attention to are the dates! We are starting a little earlier this year – this will provide the perfect opportunity to get those Christmas gifts early! We have yet again attracted many of our very talented local artists who can offer you a more unusual and creative choice of present to buy for your friends and family, as well as a wide range of stocking fillers which will delight your loved ones on Christmas morning. Seaford has a wide range of committed people who work all year round to produce high quality goods for this show, and in recent years we know that some of you return to see and buy from those who have become personal favourites. Once again this year we are joined by a number of new artists from further afield whose work is also highly appealing. We have over the past 10 years established a reputation for providing innovative, quality goods which are reasonably priced. This year there is as usual a wide variety of goods which will delight us all. To learn more about the artists and see examples of their work you can go to Christmas Arts and Crafts at the Crypt on our Facebook page.

For those who enjoy visual art, there will be contemporary designs, painting, prints and cards by wellknown Sussex artists, acrylic designs on wood and canvas, as well as framed prints of local scenes. Photography and pastel art offers an alternative choice for those looking

56

for something different.

There will be a unique range of textiles including hand-dyed silk and woven scarves, knitwear, colourful handbags in recycled fabrics, beading and stitching, and felted jewellery. Other textile artists will be bringing their own designs on small items of clothing, tea towels, cushions, bags and bunting.

Jewellery is always a popular gift. This year we have several jewellers, all with very different styles and using a range of different materials including sterling silver, antique silver cutlery, semi-precious stones, crystals and pearls of contemporary design, buttons, beads and enamelling.

Local paper crafters have worked all year to showcase their mixed media jewellery, notebooks and other paperbased gifts. There will be a variety of ceramics, handthrown and painted pottery for home and garden, as well as hand-crafted wooden boxes made from black walnut and canary wood.

We are very pleased to welcome the return of local artists whose specialities are a mix of fused art glass jewellery, crystal decorations, objects and stained glass gifts. This year we are joined by two artists, whose skill is creating mosaic decorations from bone china plates and vintage china.

There will most definitely be something for everyone.

There will be a plethora of beaded, sparkly, glitzy Christmas decorations and bunting created by many of the exhibition’s makers together with Christmas wreaths and other gifts including fairy houses using natural garden media.You will also be able to take a break from shopping in our café area where you can enjoy delicious homemade cakes and a hot drink.

The fair will be announced by Peter White, Town Crier on Saturday 18th November and will open at 10.30am with a performance by Seaford’s own Pop Up choir. We look forward to seeing you there.

Boxbird Gallery Christmas Open House

1st to 3rd December 10am until 5pm

Seaford artist and illustrator Graham Carter and his wife Alice are turning their home at 48 Grosvenor Road into a gallery over the weekend of 1st to 3rd December, when artwork from more than 40 illustrators, at prices starting from £10, will be on show.

Graham is one of the UK’s most prolific and collected print makers, and the Friday to Sunday open house will feature many of his acclaimed screen prints, 3D wooden sculptures and original drawings. Other artists include Helen Musselwhite, Ellen Giggenbach, Ruth Green, Jon Burgerman, Tom Frost, Penelope Kenny, John Bond, Telegramme Paper Company, Sally Elford and Josie Jo. Alice, who founded Boxbird Gallery with Graham, said: ‘People rarely think about buying artwork as a gift but it’s really the perfect thing. It lasts forever and becomes part of someone’s home for the rest of their life. What better gift could there be? People are often fearful about buying art and I often hear people say “Oh! but I don’t know anything about art”, but you don’t have to, it’s all about responding to an image and wanting to enjoy it every day, simple as that.

These regional markets promote locally baked, locally grown and locally crafted produce. All our food producers have the required standard of food hygiene certificate and the Food Premises Accreditation.

Open every Thursday between 9.45am and 1pm in the Hillcrest Community Centre (formerly the Old Boys’ School), our market has been operating for at least 10 years. The premises offer free parking, disabled access and toilets. The Hillcrest CafÊ is well known for its very good food, cooked fresh daily on site.

A special date for your diary is Thursday 30th November when our popular Christmas and Winter-themed market will be open for an extra hour until 2pm to enable customers to buy unique gifts and to place orders for seasonable fare such as Christmas cakes, puddings and mince pies.

With effect from Monday, 2nd October

Textile crafts are well represented with handknitted and sewn goods as well as jewellery, handmade cards, decorative glass pieces and wood carved items. Supporting the Country Market directly from the producers helps to reduce food miles and benefits the local community. Come along and see us.

Darcie: What’s effing?

Me: Oh shhhhugar *Holds phone between shoulder and ear, takes potty full of wee and disposes* Sister: Are you sure I shouldn’t call you back?

Me: No, tell me, tell me about the promotion now… Girls get into this bath…

The Seaford Parenting Scene My sister rang me today.

She rang during witching hour.

I shouldn’t have answered, I should have known better.

But I momentarily forgot that I am an owner of two bat-bonkers crazy anti-humans come 6pm.

I thought I might share with you a snippet of the transcript from that call.

Sister: It was so unexpected, I’m now a Senior… *Deafening screams* Me: Stop the screaming, give her back her guitar now.

No? Not a guitar? Ummm (*tries to pacify blood curdling screams, AND decipher a two-year-olds diction*) guitar… guitar… Car? CAR! Ok, give her back her car. It’s her car and she wants it now Darcie.

Lila: My pecial Gui-tar… (She has never seen this car before. Possible Kinder toy reject from 1999 or shameful cracker ‘gift’, suddenly this pint sized piece of plastic crap gets the promotion of its life to Favourite-Toy status.)

Lila: I hate you Dar

Me: *hurried voice* Hello, hello…

*Dar sobs, not quietly.*

Sister: Oh hello dearest, how are you?

Sister: Is X still in the hospital? Is everything resolved with the school-run police situation? Have the nits gone?

Me: Terrible, we’ve had The Nits. Darcie stop chasing her, you are NOT hunting.

Sister: *laughs* Is this a bad time?

Darcie: Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy…

Me: God no, well yes. But there hasn’t been a good time in five years. Girls up the stairs now… go. Hang on. No, not you, you go up the stairs, keep going. All the way.

Right, tell me about your promotion, I’m dying to hear.

Sister: *hesitant* Okaaaay, if you’re sure?

Me: I’m sure, quick. Tell me. Wow, you did it in the potty!

That’s amazing!

Sister: What?

Me: Sorry, Lila wee’d in the potty. We haven’t been promoting the potty at all! Well done.Yey. Mummy loves you. What a clever girl.

Me to my sister: It’s an effing miracle.

62

Me: *Gulps wine* Yes, yes and yes. I’m going to have to call you back before one of them drowns.

Lila: Ha ha ha me do a poo poo” Me: *head in hands* This is actually my life. This perfectly sums up my life right now. No swanky job for me. I am a toilet attendant, who specialises in high level negotiations. Occasionally I am promoted to launderette owner and chef, but let’s not get too carried away. *Mutters* I hate my life. *Realises I don’t hate my life. Feel instantly guilty for uttering those words* *Turns on some calming music.* ‘Mum, Mum, MUM, what’s a Gangsta’s Paradise?’

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CRUCIAL FOR FULFILLING LIFE A Sussex dementia care centre is a leading advocate for creating opportunities and promoting the benefits of engagement with the wider community for people in residential care.

Clifden House Dementia Care Centre believes strongly that a sense of ‘belonging’ is fundamental to people’s wellbeing. It is a keen advocate for involving community groups with residents of the home and vice versa – involving residents in wider community activities.

Nial Joyce of Clifden House said, ‘Our health, interests and happiness are without a doubt tied to the feeling of belonging to a community. When our residents are involved in community events, they enjoy sharing that common interest – this undoubtedly has an immediate impact on their overall sense of wellbeing.’

Deena McCormack, the home’s enthusiastic activities coordinator, plans and manages frequent shopping trips, theatre visits, pub lunches and a vast range of outings. Deena said: ‘Life for most residents becomes more colourful and less stressful when they come to Clifden. For many of our residents, coming to Clifden House has allowed them to get involved in activities and trips that they were not able to do for a long time before.’

One resident of Clifden House, Verna Rose, a former teacher is currently collaborating on an art project with children from St Nicholas Primary in Portslade.

Verna is using problem-solving skills to design and assemble a large textile artwork.

Carol Havard, project facilitator and director of Art Techniques, said: ‘This partnership with Clifden house is a great way of bridging the generation gap and

bringing different groups of people in the community together.’

Nial Joyce said: ‘Our aim at Clifden House is to find something that each resident enjoys doing – this is often a skill or hobby that was a key part of their lives before the onset of dementia. Like all our residents, Verna is thrilled to be involved with this wider community art project. For other residents, planning and managing the garden, including picking the plants at the garden centre or going to the local nursery is clearly an enjoyable challenge that they can do with our support.’

The collaboration between various community groups and Clifden House is part of a comprehensive activity calendar at the home to create an active and vibrant environment where people stay connected to and involved in their local community. Clifden House is one of the leading dementia care homes in the South East. It has an overall ‘good’ rating from the CQC. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk Photo: Verna Rose working on the art project in collaboration with St Nicholas Primary in Portslade.

St James' Christmas Day Lunch 2017 Following on from last year’s very successful event, I am again organising a Christmas Day Lunch at St James’ Trust in Seaford.

The aim is to provide a lunch on Christmas Day, for older, single individuals, who may otherwise spend this special day alone. The lunch is provided free of charge and this is possible by the very kind donations of gifts, money and time of local businesses and individuals.

Last year’s event was by invitation only, due to the strict limitation on numbers, and included Hors D’oeuvres/ sherry on arrival and a 3-course traditional Christmas lunch, with drinks. Entertainment was also provided and all guests left with a present and a shoe box that was filled with essentials.

It was a fantastic day and if you would like to help make this year’s just as great, any gifts/donations would be gratefully received. If you would like to volunteer, either before or on the actual day, your help would be most welcome.

Welcome to my latest offering from Seaford Kurlers.It’s October 1st as I write this article and unfortunately I have little to report as our AGM is scheduled for later on in the month.

In the meantime we will continue kurling and enjoying our sport. Why not pop along any Tuesday afternoon between 2pm and 4pm to the Seaford Wave Downs Leisure Centre and introduce yourselves and give the sport a try? You are not too old or too young or too stiff.

What ‘No Sale, No Fee’ Really Means Traditional estate agents like ourselves seem to have stopped using the phrase ‘no sale, no fee’, and this has allowed online only agents to gain a piece of the market.

So here is a little reminder of what ‘no sale, no fee’ means as far as we are concerned.

At Newberry Tully, we are only paid by results.

Irrespective of the time and money we have spent on professional photography, drawing floor plans, producing marketing materials, advertising, and all other expenses.

We only get paid if a sale is completed at a price that is acceptable to you. If you use our services, your only upfront cost is for an energy performance certificate (which is valid for ten years) and this is paid direct by you to the energy assessor.

If for any reason you are not able to proceed with the sale or you simply change your mind, (provided you have not exchanged contracts), you will owe us exactly, nothing.

We’d encourage everyone to check the small print of the online only agents. Usually they want paying upfront, and will tie you in for a long period.

And here comes the biggest point.

As they have already been paid, there is no incentive for them to try very hard, or even agree a sale. We see them simply as a listing agent, rather than acting on your behalf to get the best price in the shortest possible time with the minimum of fuss.

Many predictions have been made about the

78

demise of estate agents over the years, but we think we provide a valuable service as an ‘honest intermediary’ between buyer and seller.

We’ve been trading here for thirty years and look forward to serving Seaford and the surrounding areas for many years to come.

Thanks for reading.

CONCENTUS CATCH-UP

Concentus members have enjoyed their summer break, buoyant from the success of their very well received Summer Concerts. They have continued to sing over the summer – at the very soggy International Hot-Air Balloon Festival in Eastbourne this July and for BBC1’s ‘Songs of Praise’, which was recorded in August at the Eastbourne Bandstand, and was broadcast in September.

Many members also enjoyed a wonderful singing day led by the world famous composer John Rutter. The choir was delighted to again be invited to sing for the St Wilfrid’s Gala Charity Concert at the Hippodrome in October, and has a whole list of performances leading up to Christmas and the Christmas Concerts. Rehearsals for the Concerts began at the beginning of September, when numerous new singers came to ‘try-on’ the choir.

As is usual for Concentus they were warmly welcomed, received their music and were taken to their particular voice section, where they were individually introduced to a ‘buddy’ who gladly helped them to gradually settle into the choir routine.

S. J. Hampton

This year’s ‘Concentus Sings Christmas’ Concert is on Saturday 9th December at St Leonard’s Church, Seaford at 4pm - 6.30pm and rehearsals for their vibrant start to this festive time of year are well in hand. An engaging programme is on offer, well up to the quality which audiences have come to expect from Concentus.

It features a wide range of musical genres – classic through to modern popular music via spirituals and a cowboy carol – themed around and invoking many of the feelings, memories and emotions of Christmas.

Audience members will be soothed by works such as ‘You Raise Me Up’ (Rolf Lovland 2002), made popular

by Westlife, and ‘The Ground’ which is based on the culmination of Ola Gjeilo’s beautiful 2008 ‘Sunrise Mass’; intrigued by ‘A Cowboy Carol’ from the Canadian songwriter C. Broadhurst, well-known as the finale fixture of Sir Malcolm Sargent’s popular annual Royal Albert Hall Christmas Concerts, and ‘Carol of the Bells’ a traditional Ukrainian carol given new lyrics by Kirby Shaw. ‘Christopher Robin is Saying his Prayers’ (A.A. Milne) gives a glimpse of the innocence of childhood, while the version of ‘Jingle Bells’ (JL Pierport 18221893) the choir will sing gives an excuse to relish those moments of exciting exhilaration.

You will find much more to enjoy in Concentus’ packed programme – well-loved sections of Mendelssohn’s ‘Elijah’, the rousing ‘When the Saints come Marching In’, ‘God Bless You Everyone’ (Ballard/Silvestri) from Disney’s ‘A Christmas Carol’, John Rutter’s ‘The Peace of God’.

Songs will be sung by groups and soloists drawn from the members of this talented choir, and the audience will be invited to join in the singing of traditional carols.

There will be the usual retiring collection for the Charity which Concentus supports – the JPK Project, who are busy building sheltered facilities for local people with learning disabilities (the official opening of their JPK building was in September). Concentus’ Summer Concerts together raised an amazing £788 for the charity.

You will find ‘Concentus Sings Christmas’ an altogether lovely way to celebrate Christmas and to get into the ‘goodwill to all people’ feeling, so make sure you put the date – 9th December – in your diaries. Tickets will be on sale later in the month at Newberry Tully Estate Agents, 53 Church Street, Seaford, and online from Ticketsource.

The Choir looks forward to seeing you! www.concentus-sings.com www.concentus.ticketsource.co.uk

Cross Way Church in Seaford is having a busy time.

Our Minister, Reverend Rose Westwood, moved to pastures new in August and we are now in the process of appointing a new Minister to serve Cross Way, Chyngton Methodist Church and Christ Church, Lewes.

We are well served with Lay Preachers, Ministers and retired Ministers who faithfully lead worship each week.

The Clinton Centre which is part of Cross Way Church is continuing to flourish and we hold weekly coffee mornings there on a Tuesday morning as well as monthly Saturday morning coffee mornings. Leaflets of all that Cross Way provides are available in both the Clinton Centre and Steyne Road Church so please do come along and join us at one of our coffee mornings to find out more about us.

We celebrated Harvest at the beginning of October with a wonderful Sunday Service when we brought our gifts of tins, packets and jars of food. These have been donated to the Seahaven Storehouse which gives food to people who find themselves in a crisis situation.

We also had a special collection in support of ‘Toilet Twinning’, a charity which provides toilets in poor parts of the world. Following the morning service we enjoyed further fellowship with a ‘bring and share’ lunch.

The Wednesday Group will hold their annual Hospice Evening Event with Carols, Stalls, and Coffee & Mince Pies. This will be held on Wednesday 6th December 2017 at 7pm at Cross Way, Steyne Road, Seaford and entrance will be just £3 to include refreshments. We hope you will support this annual event and raise funds for St Wilfrid’s Hospice.

We shall also be holding an informal Carol Service with tea on Sunday 10th December 2017 and this will be held at the Clinton Centre, Clinton Place, Seaford.

Tea will be served at 4pm and the Carol Service will start at 5pm. All are welcome to come and join us.

MARJORAM

Marjoram is indigenous to Cyprus and Southern Turkey. The Greeks and Romans thought of it as a symbol of happiness and used it in wedding flowers.

Its close relation is oregano, but marjoram has a more delicate taste. It gives vegetable soups more flavour, adds to the aroma when roasting chicken, and is a good addition to a marinade for meat or fish. Marjoram is easy to grow indoors or outside in almost any type of soil and needs only minimal watering. Only use the leaves and pick these when plants are about 3” in height, before the flowers come out. The pink flowers are attractive to butterflies and other insects.

A

pples have produced an excellent harvest this year and there are many different varieties available to enjoy, even better if picked from the garden. Only 30% of the apples eaten in Britain are actually grown here, the remainder are imported from countries such as South Africa and New Zealand. There are around 7,500 apple varieties worldwide, many of which have been lost over time. A new study has discovered that the older or heritage varieties of apples are more nutritious than the modern ones, which have been especially cultivated to be sweeter – giving a higher sugar content – crisper and able to be stored for longer. In parts of Britain today there are apple orchards being restored and growing some of the older varieties which are high in nutrients with a lower sugar content than the more modern cultivars. During the last few years apple trees have been bred to be suitable for almost any size of garden, even a balcony or patio.

Choose from varieties that can be grown in pots, be trained to fit a small space along a fence, as an espalier or cordon. Bigger gardens can of course accommodate taller trees. As apple trees are now in their dormant state it is an ideal time to plant one, a sunny sheltered

3 Prune blackcurrant bushes – cut out the oldest branches near the base and any weak spindly stems, then fork the surrounding soil and apply a mulch.

3 Remove any yellowing leaves from Brussels sprouts, cabbages and other brassicas, as leaving them to rot on the plant risks the spread of grey mould.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD The last social evening for 2017 is the AGM and Awards Night at 7pm on 30th November at St Leonard’s Church Hall.

Relax, and try to be non-commital.

What or who is the greatest love in your life? My cat Sally, who is always there, and cheers me up so I never feel alone.

Now we are ten. Partygoers flocked to our walled garden in the Crouch and in warm sunshine celebrated a decade of community horticulture that has seen our large space behind the Peace Garden be transformed from abandoned council tree nursery to the flourishing garden that it is today.

Of course in the same way that a garden and its plants, shrubs and trees grow in their natural cycle and thrive with loving care, so it is with the volunteers who have ensured it has thrived over the years. While some have flowered here for only a short time, and some have added colour and value for longer, all have brought a bit of themselves to the enterprise. And like the hardiest perennials, a few volunteers have been a constant presence for most of that time, encouraging the newbies and sharing their knowledge.

Over the ten years since Lindsay Thomas and Wendy Simmons decided to rescue the site, a cross-section of the community, old and young, including experienced gardeners, those who have no garden to nurture, students – some of whom have been mentored by volunteers and gone on to study at Plumpton Agricultural College, from where others have come for work experience – some with learning difficulties and/ or with physical problems, have regularly contributed to the health and beauty that is today’s Seaford Community Garden. So we were delighted to welcome such stalwarts as former student Cameron, who still helps out on summer Saturdays despite now being at work, and Jimmy.

92

Now Jimmy loves music, and brought his mouth organ with which he accompanied the Pop Up Singers and accordianist Janet Lawrence who entertained the

guests. Star baker Steph rose to the occasion with beautiful cakes, and John baked one using raspberries from the garden.

With the candles blown out, though, the 11th year has to begin, and although it had been gussied up for the party with bunting – thanks Jan – and a lot of hard work, well, we all know that you can never sit back and say ‘that’s it.’ So autumn is seeing yet more sweeping of fallen leaves, tidying up of beds and planting of leeks. The popular and prolific sales bench is having its pots colour-coded for pricing.

Herb guru Bob is concentrating on perennials to over-winter and look good for spring. Thanks to a gift from Ana, basil was really successful this year. Another autumn and winter job is replacing rotten boards along borders, and more plants will be grown from seed in the polytunnel.

Spreading the message, we’ll be attending the general volunteers’ meeting at St James’ Trust and are looking forward to a demonstration on using herbs to make natural dyes.

For those who haven’t visited us lately, come and look at the cherry tree planted in memory of Sue. It’s doing very well, and the children’s garden being developed by Nicky and Ellie is also progressing. Pop in on Wednesdays between 9.30am and 12.30pm for a garden welcome.

The Garden Team Photos from top: The raspberries for the cake came from the garden; Volunteers and guests enjoy the party; It must be autumn because Bill’s planting leeks; Co-founder Lindsay hands a slice of cake to Viv; Veronica, left, and Ana gather fallen leaves; the Pop Up Singers entertain.

Seaford Tree Wardens Chestnut Blight Chestnut blight is a disease affecting species of Chestnut across the United States and most of Europe. Until recent times the UK has remained largely unaffected by it. However, an outbreak in Devon at the end of 2016 means that it has now arrived at our shores. Here is some information on what you should look out for and what to do if you spot it.

How Chestnut Blight Spreads

Chestnut blight is a fungal disease, spread from tree to tree by the release of fungal spores from infected trees.

It can infect species such as the American chestnut, and the European sweet chestnut, and also some species of oaks, although it does not tend to be fatal to the tree in oaks. It does not affect horse chestnut trees.

If it affects one of the more susceptible species of chestnut, such as the American or European chestnut, it will usually kill the tree, and can go on to spread to others in the area.

Chestnut blight will affect the wood, the cambium layer and the bark of the tree. It causes sunken cankers on the bark, which appear bright orange to rusty brown on young trees, but will often have a roughened appearance in older trees. New shoots will often grow under the cankers.

Eventually, as the disease spreads throughout the tree, it will cause splitting of the bark, and girdling of branches and/or the trunk of the tree.

Small, warty looking growths form on the bark of infected trees. These growths have a sickly yellow to rusty brown colour, and in humid weather conditions, will release trails of yellowy orange contagious spores into the air.

What To Do If You Spot It

As the fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, which causes the disease, is subject to statutory quarantine, one is obligated to report any trees which are suspected to have Chestnut blight to Plant Health authorities. The contact details for these organisations are as follows: APHA (Animal and Plant Health Agency): www.gov.uk/government/organisations/animal-and-planthealth-agency Forestry Commission www.forestry.gov.uk/planthealth If you would like to join the Seaford Tree Wardens, or would just like to find out more about what we do, go to our Facebook page (Seaford Tree Wardens) or our website – seafordtreewardens.wordpress.com/

Seaford Neighbourhood plan: over to you The Neighbourhood Plan team are planning a public consultation exercise during November and early December. Once again, we need your views so the plan can be a Community Plan rather than the ideas of a team of volunteers. So far, we have interviewed many people, consulted a mountain of reports on a wide range of topics, issued many working papers for comment; analysed questionnaires and listened to people’s views. This was mainly at two drop in events in November 2016 and in July 2017.

In addition to the latest draft of the Neighbourhood Plan, and various supporting documents, being published on our website (http://www.seafordnp.uk), we will be holding three public drop-in consultation events in Mid November and early December. We will advertise widely the dates of these events on our website,

handbills, and in Press Releases. In addition, posters will be displayed at the Tourist Information Centre in Church Street, in shops, and on Seaford Town Council’s Notice Boards that are across the Town.

We will give a further update, including the dates of the December drop in events, in the December Seaford Scene.

As I write, we are planning for a meeting of Seaford Town Council on 19th October to consider the Draft Neighbourhood Plan. Hopefully, we will secure their agreement to our proposals. These are for new planning policies, including nine sites for housing developments, and eleven Local Green Spaces which will rule out development on such designated sites. We will also be proposing a number of ‘Community Aspirations’ to help make Seaford an even better place to live, work and relax.

We also would like to take this opportunity to wish the new owners Steve, Udo and their team all the best in their new venture, let the baking continue in full force.

As you may know we will be starting our new venture in Spain and it would be fantastic to see you there, and offer you some of the hospitality for which we have been known in Seaford.

We expect to open our doors around Easter time 2018 at the Casa Los Chicos, La Concepcion, Almeria, Spain (Boutique Self Catering Accommodation) Please follow our progress on Facebook or send us an email to casaloschicos@hotmail.com for an update.

The Long Distance Lighthouse Keeper In early 1975, Phillip ‘Pip’ Clevett was working in a factory and ‘bored stiff’. Until he saw a newspaper advertisement which was short, simple and to the point: ‘Lighthouse Keepers Required’. And the rest, as they say, is history…

Trinity House is the name and headquarters of the body responsible for lighthouses and marker buoys around UK shores and was founded by Henry VIII in 1514. At his interview, Pip marvelled at the ornate, centuries old London building. He was first asked to sign and print his name, then run up a long flight of stairs, along a landing and down another flight that bought him back to his starting point. Then he was asked to sign and print his name again. The before and after writing was similar and thus Pip had passed the physical for a job involving climbing lots of stairs!

After an intense six-week training course involving mechanics, electrics, radio, Morse code, fire-fighting and first aid, Pip became a relief keeper, covering sickness and staff shortages and could be called upon at short notice to any lighthouse in England and Wales, the Channel Islands or Gibraltar, sometimes for a few days, often for a full four week tour. A lighthouse had to be staffed by a minimum of three at all times.

On one occasion, a head keeper had radioed that his two assistants were ‘at loggerheads’ and one had to be replaced immediately as having two such men together in a lighthouse was inviting trouble. At the time, Pip was living in Rotherfield, East Sussex. ‘They sent a helicopter for me, and it landed on the recreation ground, next to my old school’, he told me. ‘I remember all the kids watching as I climbed aboard. They must have thought I was James Bond!’

Most assignments involved more mundane forms of transport and when travelling for Trinity House, keepers were required to wear full uniform. This sometimes led to confusion as the uniform of a lighthouse keeper

106

was very similar to that of a Royal Navy officer. Pip remembers occasions when he was wrongly saluted by naval ratings. Trinity House was organised in a semi-military way, probably because of the strategic importance of marking safe routes for shipping and he was required to sign the official secrets act. Even today, Pip cannot speak of some aspects of his former job. In the past, lighthouses had an armoury of pistols, and, bizarrely, swords, with which to repel boarders. Pip thinks this was the case up to the early 1900s.

Offshore lighthouses were resupplied with food and essentials by ship or helicopter. This worked very well, although on one occasion Pip recalls Trinity House forgetting to send toilet paper! Sometimes, especially at Christmas, local fishermen would show their gratitude by bringing treats for the keepers, although alcohol was strictly forbidden.

Pip’s Trinity House service included most of the lighthouses in the South and West of England, but ironically never Beachy Head, the nearest to his home in East Sussex. With the march of technology, all UK lighthouses were automated by the mid 1980s and Pip was made redundant. He spent the remainder of his working life in various jobs including an immigration officer at Gatwick. Pip is now retired and lives in Seaford with his wife Rachel.

Wolf Rock was Pip’s remotest posting.

Twelve miles out into the Atlantic, between Land’s End and the Isles of Scilly, keepers often had to transfer to or from the lighthouse

by Breacher’s Buoy, if conditions were bad and a helicopter was not available. In stormy weather, the 154ft high lighthouse could sway up to 14 inches off centre. Keepers ate their meals from magnetic plates set on iron tables!

Have you ever had an unusual job? Would you like to tell other Seaford residents about it? Get in touch with Fran at Seaford Scene!

Seaford Afternoon Flower Club The club meets this month on 16th November and we will be having a Christmas Workshop which will inspire us all with ways to decorate our homes for the Christmas festivities.

The competition is entitled ‘This Time of Year’, and it will be interesting to see how our members interpret this title. We are fortunate in having so many members who enter the monthly competition, particularly among the novice class.

Our September meeting was a great treat when Gill Sadler demonstrated ‘Sussex Life’, taking the inspiration for her arrangements from beautiful places in Sussex.

We were all thrilled by her beautiful work.

I expect that many of you will have been to St Leonard’s church during the Flower Festival. Several members of our club participated in the festival and the results of all the arrangements were outstanding.

ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH?

By Judy Renihan

Laughing not only makes life more enjoyable, it has other benefits…

Who doesn’t like a good laugh? Adverts, Facebook and magazines are covered with people laughing; it’s a sign that they’re having a good time, life is good and all is well with their world. Sometimes, I think we forget to laugh. We can so easily not see laughter as a priority.

We all realise how great it is to laugh, but do you realise just how good laughing is for you? Laughter, it turns out, really is the best medicine.

Why is laughter so good for you?

It improves your physical health Laughter is good for your heart by improving the function of the blood vessels, the blood flow increases which helps prevent heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular issues. Having a good old hearty laugh relieves tension and reduces stress. It leaves muscles feeling relaxed for up to 45 minutes after. Because laughter reduces stress, immune cells and infectionfighting antibodies are allowed to do their job, increasing immunity and fighting disease.

Another physical benefit is that laughter is good for weight loss. It may not burn as many calories as a brisk walk over the Seven Sisters, but ten minutes laughing burns 40 calories; that’s the equivalent of a 3lb weight loss in a year. The stress hormone, cortisol, released when we’re stressed, urges our body to cling onto fat. It would figure, therefore, that the less stress we suffer, the less fat stays with us.

Laughter promotes emotional wellbeing

Laughter is brilliant at enhancing our mental health, it reduces stress, improves mood, gives us better mental resilience and a zest for life. Funny stories are often slipped into a eulogy at a funeral. Humour gives respite from the pain and sadness of loss. You can’t feel stressed, anxious or sad when you’re laughing. Once you’ve

110

laughed you have a more positive perspective on difficult issues. It allows us to see situations in a less daunting and more realistic way. Often, we feel less overwhelmed by life when humour is thrown into the mix. When we feel less stressed, we’re more energised and ready to take on difficult situations.

Laughter strengthens relationships

Look on any dating website and you will see ‘good sense of humour’ being listed as a quality attribute.

We are attracted and drawn to laughter and a good sense of humour. When you smile at someone, they will, invariably, smile back. TV shows often use canned laughter because laughter is contagious. Having a laugh to yourself is good, but not nearly as much fun as laughing with friends and family.

There is nothing better than laughter for keeping relationships positive and alive, whether it be partners, family or friends. It diffuses angry and difficult situations.

It helps you forget resentments and doubts. It also allows you to be spontaneous and express how you feel.

It builds resilience and strengthens bonds by adding joy and vitality. To see the real benefit of laughter, it has to be shared.

Laughter is a true gift we are born with; it is our birthright. A smile transcends creed, colour, class and race. Engage with this birthright and spread the joy.

Remember laughter is contagious. Start by smiling at people and notice how you feel when someone returns that smile. Inject more laughter into your life; people are usually happy to share a joke. Spend time with jovial people, their playful view on life is infectious and they often appreciate an audience. If you can’t find a ‘joker’ to hand; watch a funny movie or sit-com.

By looking for more opportunities to laugh you can improve your physical and mental health, strengthen relationships, find greater happiness and add years to your life...get giggling!

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.

ECLECTRIX with JOHN CAVE

R.N.L.I. CONCERT, 7.30pm - 9.45pm, Thursday 23rd November Seaford Baptist Church, Belgrave Road

Eclectrix (photo top) and John Cave (photo right) are very pleased to invite everyone to a concert to promote the Southern seas Music Festival. The Festival will be held next Spring in Newhaven in support of the R.N.L.I. It has been taking place for a few years and has a nautical flavour. A variety of local singers and musicians perform during the Festival, including Eclectrix and John cave. We are proud to have been involved last year and to be asked again to hold a concert in November to raise funds to meet the travelling expenses to allow more high quality musicians from further afield to come to the Spring Festival.

On Thursday 23rd November Eclectrix will be sharing the stage with John Cave to present an entertaining evening of music. As always Eclectrix will be performing a truly eclectic selection of music. Together we sing a wide variety of popular ‘cover’ songs by musicians including The Beatles, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel and Bob Dylan, whose songs reflect the reason why he was recently given the Nobel Prize for Literature/Poetry. Our newest songs include Turn, Turn, Turn as sung by the Seekers and The Sound of Silence

by Simon and Garfunkel. Our styles include country, folk, rock, gospel and you might even recognise a song with a reggae rhythm! We also perform some of our own songs and some well-known poems, to which we have composed the music. We play guitars, a harmonica and

an increasing variety of percussion instruments.

John Cave, who is sharing the event with us, is well known among the local folk fraternity for his musical skills and humour on a wide range of instruments – guitar, ukulele, lollypop sticks and harmonica. He ran the folk club for several years and has played around Sussex and at The Underground Theatre Eastbourne. He has been influenced by Roger Whitaker, Ralph McTell, the Spinners and James Taylor (the serious stuff). More recently his music reflects songs by Jake Thackray, Richard Stilgoe, Les Barker, and various song parodies of his own (the funny stuff). We’re sure this will be a very entertaining evening. Eclectrix will also be playing from 10am 12noon on Saturday 4th November at The Eastbourne Underground Theatre.

Are you thinking of starting counselling?

Based in Seaford, I am an experienced BACP & UKCP accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist, providing talking therapy services to adults and young people.

I work with a wide range of issues such as: difficulties in relationships, anxiety, depression, bereavement, low self-esteem, work-related problems, as well as the many other issues which may be impacting your quality of life and emotional wellbeing.

Seaford Striders

Barns Green half marathon

by Kristiane Sherry

I would never normally complain about sunshine, but when it became apparent on arrival at Barns Green that 24th September was going to herald the arrival of a short-lived Indian summer, the thought did cross my mind that an autumnal downpour would be quite welcome.

‘I need to tell my friends to plan things for race days. It’s always hot!’ my fellow Strider Anneka said as we lined up at the start line. Hellingly earlier this month was practically balmy. Bewl earlier in the year was scorchio. 22°C in September is pleasant if you’re in the garden. Not if you’re about to run the undulating Barns Green Half Marathon!

But enough complaining. The September tanning opportunities were tip-top on the day – as was the Striders’ team performance in the race, which also doubles as a Sussex Grand Prix fixture. A total of 1,133 runners took part – a bumper crowd which indicates just how well organised the event is. The route was mostly run on roads (closed! What a luxury!) and the marshalling was fantastic – there was a high-viz army out on course. Water stations were plentifully stocked, and there were even multiple bands stationed along the route, playing out live music to lift the spirits and spur us all on.

It worked – the nine-strong Striders team zipped round, posting some fantastic times. Turns out all that downland training makes ‘undulating’ courses feel breezier than expected!

Simon Fletcher was the first Strider across the line in a chip time of 1:19:51, securing 14th place overall. Josh Rudd was next back in 1:30:31, closely followed by Dave Dunstall in 1:30:51. Josh Nisbett wasn’t far behind

118

in 1:38:57, just ahead of Phil Robinson in 1:42:56. Emily Eaton was the first female Strider home in a PB time of 1:43:57, and I was next over the line in 1:51:04 – another PB. Anneka Redley was close on my heels in 1:51:40, and Natasha Swan finished off the Striders interest, home in another strong time of 1:52:38.

Great work all round. Now roll on Lewes when the hills really get going!

Lewes Downland 10Miler & Eastbourne Tempo 10K

by Hilary Humphreys and Simon Nixon Lewes was the venue for the Downland 10-miler, which was the latest event in the Sussex Grand Prix calendar. Held on chalk paths and through fields in the rolling countryside around the County town, this race is something of a rarity in this competition, being totally off-road.

The start/finish is in the meadow at Landport Bottom near the old Lewes race course and begins with a climb of over 2 miles as the route heads west along the South Downs Way over Plumpton Plain, then south climbing Waterpit Hill. The rollercoaster run continues with a welcome descent into Ashcombe Bottom, but it's a case of what comes down must go up, with a vicious 1-mile single track climb out again after 7 miles. It is at this stage that many runners feel that crampons might be useful.

Held on a murky, wet and windy day, this tough course challenged the 13 Seaford Striders present.

They were however keen to post good times as the season draws to a close; none more so than Gareth Hutchinson, who was the first Strider home in a sizzling 1:09:27, giving him a very well earned 7th place overall. Also out to impress was Luke Borland, in an equally valiant 11th place in 1:10:14. Josh Nisbett was impressive in 1:21:44 as was Kevin Ives in 1:24:07 and Andrew Farley in 1:26:27.

Next came Ben Shorer in 1:29:08, just managing to hold

off fellow Strider Matt Franks in 1:29:21. Worth noting at this stage is that Matt only joined the club in March – in our Couch to 5K group – a great achievement!

Taking the honour as the first female Strider across the line was Anna Norman in 1:31:20, leading the way for the only other female Strider in the race, Anneka Redley in 1:38:16. Winding up the interest as far as the Striders was concerned were very creditable performances by Peter Weeks and Amanda Feast, crossing the line together and both recording 1:42:46, and Terry Ward in 1:47:16. Sadly, after starting out with such promise Kristiane Sherry had to pull out due to an injury.

However, while everyone else was off running the Lewes 10 miler, five Striders decided to stay on the coast and try out the two laps Tempo 10k in Eastbourne. All believed that this was a nice flat course but how wrong could they be? The first part of the course was indeed nice and flat, travelling along the lower seafront to just before the pier,

before looping around along the road back to the start point. It was at this point we realised that Eastbourne is not as flat as previously thought. The route continued to climb and when we finally thought we were near the top, yet more hills!

Finally, at the top of the run, the course snaked back down to the seafront for the start of lap two. At the long-awaited finish, we were greeted with a cheer from the crowd, a medal and a lovely little goodie bag. One by one the Striders finished, Simon Nixon 54:16; Michelle Tickner 56:16; Simon Homer 57:57; Stacey Jones 1:03:03 and Debbie Plant 1:05:08. The last four of these times were personal bests – this is especially noteworthy given that all four runners recently joined Striders, with three of them coming through the ranks from the Couch to 5k group – so well done everyone! www.seafordstriders.co.uk for more information about the Seaford Striders Running Club.

It is marking All Souls’ Day with a service open to everyone to give thanks to those who have died – members of the family, and all kinds of friends – but in particular for those who have suffered a bereavement in the last year.

There will be hymns and music, and the names of departed loved ones will be read out as people are invited to come forward to light a candle in their memory.

The service takes the form of a mass in the Anglican (Church of England) tradition, and those who do not take Holy Communion (bread and the wine) are invited to receive a blessing, so everyone is included.

This Requiem Mass is on Thursday 2nd November at 6pm, and will be followed by refreshments.

Next month St Peter’s has a special celebration with a service called Silence and Stillness, to mark Advent Sunday.

It will have contemplative silences punctuated by Taizé chants giving everyone the chance to catch up with themselves, when the darkness of the night is dispelled by candlelit prayers.

Again this is a service open to all, and is on Sunday 6th December at 6pm.
