Welcome...

to the October issue of Seaford Scene. It’s the Seaford Bonfire Society’s annual Bonfire Night celebrations this month, which aims to be bigger and better than ever!

Unfortunately last year the procession and fireworks were called off due to the bad weather so this year the Bonfire Society is making up for it (see page 4). It’s on Saturday 20th October, so put it on the calendar!

Despite the days getting shorter, there’s still plenty going on outside. We have articles from Seaford Tree Wardens on page 48 and Seaford Natural History Society on page 80 whilst Cycle Seahaven are here to get you out and about on your bike, see page 55. How about growing your own mini meadow? Now’s the time to start it, see page 27. With plastic being an important environmental issue, we have news from Plastic Free Seaford on page 115 and Seaford & Newhaven Refill on page 112. I’m sure we can all do our bit to help. Finally, we can announce that Seaford Museum’s improved access facilities are due to open over the weekend of the 6th/7th, see page ?? This eight-year improvement project includes step-free access for people with reduced mobility and a new lift to the main exhibition areas. See page 8 for more details. As always I must remind you not to forget to put your clocks back on Sunday 28th October, and don’t forget it’s Halloween on 31st, you’ve been warned!

Seaford Bonfire Society This year, our night takes place on Saturday 20th October, when we will be hoping for good weather so that all can enjoy the procession and firework display.

This year the event will commemorate and remember the ending of The Great War 100 years ago. We also remember not only The Gunpowder Plot, but the many brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of us all.

Seaford witnessed many battles that took place at sea.

Hundreds of soldiers arriving in the town were put up by local people or placed in camps set up on The South Downs.

It is therefore fitting that we give thanks to The Fallen around the memorial where we be lighting a poppy in

their honour. The service will be broadcast by our local radio station, Seahaven FM. We very much appreciate all the support given by local businesses with sponsorship and donations; this has allowed the town to enjoy some spectacular displays, which continue to be free.

Regrettably last year the event had to be cancelled at the last minute due to the incoming Storm Brian. This has enabled us to plan an even more special display this year, and we hope you are looking forward to 20th October as much as we are.

Our costumed members will be selling programmes around Seaford on Saturdays leading up to the event.

Seaford Bonfire Society could not function without the dedicated efforts of members throughout the year and the generosity of local people.

In Flanders fields the poppies Blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

Cinema

My 17-year-old granddaughter says Isle of Dogs (PG) is the coolest film ever. This very funny stop-motion animation is about an outbreak of canine flu in a Japanese city whose mayor sends all the pooches to Trash Island. There, a young boy sets out to find his lost pet, helped by five other dogs. See it at the Barn Theatre, home of Seaford Community Cinema, on Friday 5th October at 7.30pm. Remember the Washington Post exposé on the Pentagon Papers?

The Post (PG), on Friday 12th October at 7.30pm, relates how publisher Kay Graham (Meryl Streep) and her staff join a fight for editorial freedom. As a counter to American mumbling, there will be subtitles. With Halloween coming up the cinema is putting on a Special on Friday 26th October at 7.30pm.

Final Leap to step-free access Recently an enthusiastic group of onlookers gathered in the sun on Seaford seafront to watch a giant mobile crane install Seaford Museum’s iconic new ramped footbridge. This marked the final stage of Seaford Museum’s Improved Access Project, which is designed to provide step-free access to the main exhibition areas in the Museum for people with reduced mobility, including wheelchair users.

The project is supported by the Keith Baker Memorial Trust, the National Lottery and local donors.

The Museum is housed in Martello Tower 74, a building constructed by the government in around 1810 to resist the threats of a Napoleonic invasion. It has subsequently played many roles, the most recent being adaptation to become a Museum, intended to welcome visitors, rather than deter them.

Commenting on the move, Kay Turvey, the Museum Chairman said: ‘If all goes to schedule, we plan to open the new facilities to our visitors and members over the weekend of 6th/7th October. This marks the culmination of 8 years’ work, and very soon there will be step-free access across the new bridge, then down to the main exhibition areas, using our newly installed lift. The exhibition areas themselves have been extensively ramped to ease access.’

The project started with an informal approach to the Museum Trustees from the Keith Baker Memorial Trust in the summer of 2010. That led to a lengthy process of assessment and problem solving to create a scheme that was effective, affordable and which did not compromise the Museum’s status as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Kay Turvey added: ‘We are immensely grateful to the Keith Baker Memorial Trust who stayed with us through the difficult early stages as various designs were considered and who agreed to increase their initial grant offer from around £80,000 to £200,000. We are similarly appreciative of the grant of £100,000 from the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund, without which the whole project could have been lost because of an escalation in costs. We have also received donations from a number of local groups and individuals, as well as a massive input of unpaid work from our dedicated band of volunteers.”

That same weekend will also see the resumption of the museum archives open access sessions, which had to be suspended whilst the building work was completed.

The archives will be open from 2pm to 4pm on Sunday 7th October, and then on the afternoon of the first Sunday of each month. No appointments are necessary. The normal museum admission charges apply and several of our archive volunteers will be on hand to assist with enquiries.

This is an exciting time for the Museum and we look forward to welcoming everyone to our newly accessible Museum and all its exhibits. We are also looking forward to increasing the number of group visits, which can be arranged by appointment, when the Museum would otherwise be closed to the public.

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.

Neighbourhood Watch Roundup Well, as they say, if that was Summer, we’ve had it.

And what a glorious Summer it was. With Winter fast approaching and with it the shortening of days, now would be the time to make sure outbuildings and garages are well secured to avoid any creative shoppers making off with your bikes, strimmers and tools.

We often don’t notice a theft in the Winter until we are looking for a particular item not used since the previous Summer. My bicycle for example. It’s a true story and one best left untold. Without further ado, some tips for securing your valuables...

1. Make sure that hasps, hinges and bolts are not loose and are well secured to the doors and sides of your outbuilding. Often a swift kick to a rotting door breaks the fixings and access to your shed or garage is achieved in the blink of an eye.

2. Oil padlocks and locks, and make sure your keys can turn easily and that the locking mechanisms are all sound.

3. Secure bicycles with a good quality bike lock and consider looping this through a wall bracket fixed to your garage or shed wall.

4. Keep strimmers, mowers and tools out of sight of shed windows. Out of sight is out of mind and what the eyes can’t see, the heartless heart of a thief cannot yearn for.

5. Consider fitting a motion sensor security light above your garage door or onto your shed. No thief likes operating under full glare of a bright light and this is a good deterrent.

6. Consider fitting an alarm to your garage or outbuildings where valuables are stored, and link this to a reputable monitoring service.

7. If you are not inclined to do all of this yourself, consider asking a local security company to inspect and secure your home and outbuildings for you.

8. Lastly, lock your outbuildings even when you are at home. Most crime in Seaford is opportunistic and our police statistics evidence that most thefts are from unlocked buildings and vehicles.

This said, proactive police activity to deter criminals and miscreants has been stepped up and the REWIND

Stop and Search campaign was launched on 10th September. This campaign is a reiteration of the purpose and aims of Stop and Search and is geared to educate people in what to expect during a Stop and Search. Katy Bourne, Sussex PCC, said: ‘I am confident that the use of stop and search powers provides the police with an effective tool in terms of preventing and detecting crime and anti-social behaviour. However, it is important to balance public protection with individual freedom by ensuring the powers are used fairly and with the support and understanding of our communities.’

The campaign promotes that everyone has the right to be treated fairly and with respect, whether a member of the public or police officers carrying out the stop and search.

The power is used in a way to keep people safe and feeling safe, and protects the community from criminality.

The basic principles of REWIND are;

Remember under the Stop and Search legislation, everyone has rights.

Every person who is stopped and searched is entitled to a receipt.

When stopped, the officer will give their name and the police station they work from.

If the person who is stopped has a problem understanding what is being explained by an officer, they have the right to ask for an interpreter or for an appropriate adult.

Normally the officer doing the search will be the same gender as the person being searched.

During a stop and search, the officer may ask the person who is stopped to remove their jacket or other outer clothes.

You can read more about Stop and Search and the REWIND campaign at https://sussex.police.uk/aboutus/stop-and-search/ Stay safe and savvy and remember 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. Join us on Facebook www.facebook.com/ sandbnhw for regular updates and alerts. Have a warm and happy Winter, Seaford. Be generous with your smiles, your care for yourselves and each other, and above all, be safe.

During the evening three of the club’s founding members, John Tozer, John Hall and David Hayman gave brief accounts of the satisfaction they had experienced over their years in Probus.

Major General Moore-Bick gave an interesting account of the roles of the High Sheriff and the nature of the duties. He explained that it was an independent nonpolitical Royal appointment, and that an important feature was the support and promotion of voluntary organisations in the county. The club’s thanks were expressed by one of its members, Jim Taylor.

Brian Carter proposed a toast to absent friends – specifically members who were unable to attend the event.

During the meal, background music was provided by the guitarist Mel Hayes.

Art@St James

St James’ Trust Blatchington Road, Seaford

Last December an advert appeared in Seaford Scene to say that there was to be a meeting about setting up an art group for the over 60s at St James’ Trust.

Richard Potter, a well known local artist, and Jeff Innis from St James’ Trust introduced themselves and told us how the group would progress.

For the next 12 weeks participants learned about producing art in a ‘different way’. This included watercolour painting, acrylic painting, oil pastel work and much more. It was not just ‘straight’ painting either, each of us were pushed beyond our comfort zones in learning to make marks and paint with items such as sponge, erasers from pencil ends, and even to create sculptures from toothpicks and marshmallows! It was fascinating to see how each person produced their own work, and what was lovely was that everyone shared their knowledge and insight. There was not the competition or showing off which has unfortunately been seen in other art groups I’ve been to. Everyone was embracing new methods of working.

with help from Richard and those in the group with more experience, everyone was able to produce their own art work.

Many of those who took part said that they would love to come to the group if it continued. We were lucky that the St James’ Trustees agreed that this would be a good idea and many of us met up again, together with some new members at the end of July. This session will continue to the 20th October and then a new course will begin on 27th October. St James’s Trust looks forward to hearing from you if you would like to join this very popular art group..

There is more intense study this time and so far we have looked at different artists’ techniques and tried to create our own versions of these. Demonstrations by Richard show us how to proceed and then we try to produce two pieces of work during the session. Again the group bonds well, and everyone helps each other.

Newhaven Club is making tracks!

Seaford’s 2018 Model Railway Show will be held on Saturday 27th at the Baptist Church Hall 10 to 5pm.

The show, which is presented each year by Newhaven and District Model Railway Club, has been a great success, attracting new members to the club and helping raise much needed funds for a new permanent Clubroom.

The growth in membership has got us thinking about a higher profile and engaging with others in the community who might benefit from model-making as a therapy, particularly for those who may have had a health setback in their lives.

So we have started a project which we are calling ‘Making Tracks’ The initial work will be on display at the show with details of how people could get involved by making use of what we are planning to offer by way of tuition and hands-on modelling. Perhaps it would suit you or someone you know! Come along and have a look.

We are also working towards Charitable Status for the Club. Obviously, in the model railway world things seldom stand still.

Create your own mini meadow:

How to help wildlife and save time

With the long, hot summer coming at an end, many of us will be putting away our lawnmowers with a sigh of relief. Some people enjoy maintaining a perfect lawn – but for others it’s a bit of a chore. If you’re in the second group, why not leave some of your lawn unmown next year? It doesn’t have to look scruffy: a clean edge – straight or curved – will make the area look deliberate and attractive to the eye.You’ll have less work to do and what’s more, you’ll be doing your bit for the environment.

Why we all need a ‘buzzing garden’

Perhaps you’ve read reports of the alarming decline of insects and invertebrates – some studies have shown up to 75% decline in recent years. And although we have an instinctive revulsion for many of these creeping, crawling or buzzing creatures, they’re vital for our world. They pollinate plants, provide a food source for birds and mammals, and dispose of rubbish and rotting vegetation.

The collapse in the insect population should worry us all.

However, if you’ve got a garden there is something you can do – it’s easy and won’t cost you a thing. Just leave an area of grass unmown and create your own ‘mini meadow”.

How long grass helps insects:

A study by the University of Sussex revealed that areas of long grass in Saltdean’s Oval Park sheltered up to 50 times more insects than mown areas. The study also found that the public response to the meadow areas was very positive, with residents enjoying the increased colour from the wild flowers and butterflies. This year, many of us have admired the long grass cut through with paths on the edge of Seaford Head Golf Course, created to increase biodiversity on the site. But you don’t need a field or a park – an area as small as one square metre can make a difference.

Long grass provides shelter and food for a huge range of little creatures, from grasshoppers and beetles to

moths and spiders. The wild flowers which will emerge amongst the grass provide nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies.

Don’t worry about your long grass harbouring garden nasties: according to the Royal Horticultural Society, fewer than 1% of Britain’s insects are pests. The rest are beneficial as pollinating insects or are actually pest predators. Others simply get on with their own thing – feeding on dead or living plant matter and providing food for mammals, amphibians or birds. A garden full of life is a healthy garden, and a healthy garden means healthy and beautiful plants.

How to create your own mini meadow:

To create your own mini meadow, just leave a strip or area of grass unmown until it starts to look a bit tatty at the end of summer, then cut it.You’ll need a strimmer, or shears, and check first to make sure there aren’t any little creatures hiding in there. Rake out the clippings as this will encourage wild flowers. Then mow as normal as needed through the autumn, or leave the grass to grow again and do another cut any time before Christmas.

If you need short grass during the summer, maybe for kids to play on, then create a spring meadow by mowing between July and late autumn.

Inner Wheel club of seaford Visit of District Chair Corinne Alford At our August meeting we received a welcome visit from our District Chair, Corrine Alford. She spoke of the transition that Inner Wheel is going through and that our club in Seaford is a strong one, and that it is wonderful that we combine fellowship with fundraising and social events.

Visit to Bateman’s Burwash

During the month, 12 of us visited the National Trust property, Batemans, the home of Rudyard Kipling. As one of members volunteers here, some took the opportunity to have a personal tour. The gardens were beautiful but unfortunately the watermill was not grinding flour as work was being done on the mill pond. Our thanks must go to Val Franklin, who arranged this outing for us.

Crafty Ladies afternoon tea and jewellery sale

On Wednesday 29th August, Inner Wheel Club of Seaford member Maureen Edgar hosted the Crafty Ladies afternoon tea and jewellery sale at her home. Members and guests enjoyed a cup of tea and homemade cakes and had the opportunity to purchase jewellery which had been made by members of the Crafty Ladies group. The afternoon raised a total of £200, which will be donated to the Seaford Down’s Syndrome and Special Needs Support Group.

10 things you need to know about dementia Nial Joyce of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford

1. Dementia itself is not a disease – it’s actually caused

by lots of different diseases. The word ‘dementia’ is just an umbrella term for the symptoms caused by these diseases such as memory loss, confusion and personality change. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause but other dementias include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia.

2. Dementia is not an inevitable part of getting older – while it’s true that the majority of people with

6. Dementia is a global issue – it’s a common myth

that dementia is only an issue in the western world.

The largest increases in dementia expected over the next 20 years are in places like China, India and SubSaharan Africa. Dementia is a truly global health issue, affecting 46.8 million people worldwide.

dementia are over 65, the condition is not a normal part of getting older. The likelihood of developing dementia rises with age, but it’s not a given that an older person will develop it. In the UK over 40,000 people under 65 have dementia.

7. Dementia doesn’t discriminate – dementia is a condition that can affect anyone regardless of background, education, lifestyle or status.

3. Dementia is more than just memory loss – the condition affects people in a wide variety of ways.

That might include changes in behaviour, confusion, disorientation, delusions, difficulty communicating, problems judging speeds and distances, and even cravings for particular foods.

people to live with their symptoms a little better, there are no treatments that slow or stop diseases like Alzheimer’s. This means that the diseases will continue to get worse over time unless new treatments can be found quickly.

4. It’s possible to live an independent and active life with dementia – there are many people in the UK

who are facing dementia head on and developing support mechanisms and strategies to live as well as possible with the condition. That includes anything from taking up new hobbies to making new friends or taking part in research.

5. Dementia has a bigger impact on women – with

more women living well into their 80s, half a million women in the UK are now living with dementia. The condition is the leading cause of death in women in the UK. Women are also more likely to take on unpaid caring roles for other people with dementia and are twice as likely as men to provide intensive, 24-hour care.

30

8. There are no treatments to stop the diseases that cause dementia – while some treatments can help

9. Investment in dementia research is still low – despite a welcome government focus on dementia, research into the condition still only receives around three per cent of the government’s medical research budget.

Raising investment in dementia research will help to drive forward much-needed progress towards a cure.

10. Finding the right specialist dementia care home for a loved one is often a stressful process – Clifden

House Dementia Centre understands this. If you need advice, or just need to talk to one of our experts, email: office@clifdenhouse.co.uk. We’re always happy to listen and help.

ACER

The acer is commonly known as maple with around 128 different species, most are common to Asia with a few seen in Europe, Northern Africa and North America. The sycamore maple is the commone most acer seen in Europe. Acers are known for their spectacular leaf colour in autumn. The Japanese maple - Acer palmatum however is a small deciduous tree suitable for growing in containers, it being a slow growing variety. This species has been in cultivation in Japan for over three hundred years. Also known as the mountain maple, it can be seen in both altitudes of 3,600feet and in forested areas in China, Taiwan and Korea. Maples are of course the source of maple syrup, particular species are tapped for their sugary sap, which is then boiled to produce the syrup. The wood is also valuable and made into items such as butchers’ blocks, bowling alley lanes, musical instruments and baseball bats. The Japanese acer is suitable for the art of bonsai as it copes with the reducing of its leaves and branches producing an attractive show-piece.

Autumn is a good time to plant up a new tree, they need less watering and have time to settle before the spring when they will come to life and show off their beauty with colourful leaves, flowers or fruit.

There are a few rules to follow when planting small trees. Terracotta pots look good but need to be frost hardy, they are heavy and also porous, so a metal, wood, stone or a good plastic pot is perhaps better.

The right type of compost is needed to enable it to thrive and help maintain its stability during windy weather. Watering and regular feeding helps your tree to survive and rewards you in the months to come.

W

ith autumn fast approaching and the weather changing, work in the garden changes too – crops are finished, flowers have faded, leaves are dropping and all begins to look dull and drab. Preparing the garden for winter and the next spring needs thought just now, what to grow and plant ready for the next year. Growing trees in pots has become more popular with a variety of trees suitable for planting in various sized pots. Even the smallest garden can have a tree in a pot. They can add style and panache to an outdoor space if placed at the front or back door, on the patio, on a balcony or on the decking. There are now numerous trees available to fit any space, from fruit trees, palms, flowering trees to deciduous trees such as acers and various conifers.

JOBS TO DO IN OCT

3 Plant bulbs such as muscari, narcissi,

hyacinths and irises in a biggish pot of gritty compost, add pansies or viola plants on top to give autumn colour.

3 Plant garlic cloves which will be ready to harvest in early summer.

3 Sow sweet pea seeds in pots of multi purpose compost, put in a cold frame or cool greenhouse and they will flower for the society's sweet pea show in June.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD The next social evening will be held at St Leonard’s Church Hall on Thursday 25th October at 7pm. We welcome back Kevin Gordon with a talk entitled ‘Eastbourne Police and Murders’. The last social evening of the year will be the Society’s AGM and Awards Night on November 29th. Membership subscriptions can be paid on either evening in readiness for next year’s horticultural schedule.

It might have been only early September but it felt like Christmas when James and Katie tore open a big cardboard box to reveal a very generous gift of irrigation kit from Gardena, full of everything we need to get on with putting in an extensive automatic watering system to cut down on can carting between opening times.

And the pressie came at just the right time too, James having just located existing pipework that needed connecting up to some of the supplied gismos. While all this excitement was going on, Dave was adjusting the classroom door so that we can start painting, using the exterior and interior paint so generously donated by local company Brewers; Stan, Abdul and John can’t wait to get their brushes in action. And we can’t believe that a painting team was last mustered six years ago when the classroom had only just been erected.

How time flies… and indeed by the time you read this we’ll no longer be selling produce on Saturday mornings and will have reverted to Wednesday mornings only. But never mind, there

will be plenty of plants on the sales table. Elsewhere in the garden apples and pears – standards and stepover apples – were being summer-pruned to restrict their growth, and a general early autumn inventory of plants was taking place.

We’re always being told that the secret of good gardening is planning ahead, so don’t be surprised to hear that we’re already thinking about our next National Garden Scheme opening, to take place in May next year rather than in the summer to take advantage of Steyne Road garden Lavender Cottage’s fabulous wisteria, and to make up a small group with a couple of other gardens at their best then. But as Katie observed: “We’re wonderful all the time.” Just look at the photos and judge that one for yourself!

But still patting ourselves fulsomely on the back – well, if we don’t who else will? – Allison escaped for a lunchtime to talk to the local Probus ladies’ group about our garden, and also was heard on Seahaven FM with Mike.

And they had so much fun spreading the word about what we get up to on Wednesday mornings at the Crouch that they can’t wait to do it all over again, so if anyone would like a talk please contact us at the email below or click on the link.

Geoff and some of his amazng supporters

Local gardener smashes his fundraising records in 2018 Seaford gardener, Geoff Stonebanks, has very successfully used his small garden to raise huge amounts for local charities. His amazing awardwinning garden, Driftwood, in Bishopstone, has become a local tourist attraction. To date the garden has seen over 19,500 visitors, received over 80 5-star reviews on Trip Advisor, become a finalist in this year Lewes District Business Awards Tourist Destination of the Year. It recently featured on page 3 in a national daily newspaper and the BBC shot a short film there recently too. Last weekend saw a close to the 2018 open garden season with some record-breaking numbers achieved to boot!

Tom Lay, Regional Fundraising Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support was on hand to receive the £7,483 Geoff and other gardeners had raised from the Macmillan Coastal Garden Trail, along with the balance

from activities in Geoff ’s own garden, for the charity. In total, £12,515 was handed over by him to Tom. Many visitors were on hand at Driftwood to cheer the event on. Tom went on to say: ‘It was a complete pleasure to visit Geoff and his team this weekend to celebrate raising an incredible amount of money for people living with cancer. We are so grateful for the stalwart efforts of Geoff Stonebanks and everyone involved in the Driftwood Macmillan Coastal Garden Trail. The money raised by everyone opening their gardens will make a huge difference and supports the work being done at the Macmillan Horizon Centre in Brighton, and we cannot thank them all enough. Not only does Geoff support Macmillan by organising and fundraising for this brilliant event, he raises masses of amounts of awareness, and we couldn’t be there for people who need us, without people like Geoff, the team that supports him, the garden owners and visitors who come to see these beautiful gardens.’

However, the weekend got much better for Geoff and his merry band of volunteers as he went on to declare that the total monies he had raised in 2018 alone, including the Macmillan money, had now reached an amazing £19,444. This smashed last years’ figure by some £850.

The grand total of all monies raised now by Geoff in the last few years is a staggering £114,000. You can read more of his fundraising and gardening achievements at www.driftwoodbysea.co.uk.

Seaford Tree Wardens Elms for Armistice Seaford Tree Wardens, Butterfly Conservation and Sussex Wildlife Trust are asking residents to help save a rare butterfly in Seaford.

The White-letter Hairstreak butterfly in Seaford:

The White-letter Hairstreak butterfly depends entirely on Elms for its survival. Dutch Elm Disease caused the loss of 60 million Elms across the UK in the 1970s and the butterfly’s population plummeted by 96%.

East Sussex remained a stronghold for Elms and the White-letter Hairstreak until recently. Sadly, the disease has now taken hold in Sussex and continues to spread despite efforts to control it. East Sussex still has the UK’s largest collection of mature Elms and important colonies of the White-letter Hairstreak. Seaford has approximately 240 Elms, many of which host the Hairstreak butterfly. However, these trees are now under threat. Without our help, the future of the Hairstreak is bleak.

As part of Sussex Wildlife Trust’s ‘Wild About Seaford Project’, Butterfly Conservation Sussex, together with local volunteers, surveyed the White-letter Hairstreak butterfly in our town. The butterflies were spotted in Chyngton Way, Carlton Road, Belgrave Road/ Kedale Road junction, Blatchington Pond, Stafford Road, Blatchington Road and Alfriston Road. Butterfly Conservation hopes to carry out more surveys next year: if you’d like to take part please contact: Jamie Burston, White-letter Hairstreak Champion Sussex Branch, at storm_of_elements@hotmail.com.

Hope for the Hairstreak:

There is hope for the White-letter Hairstreak: if we plant new disease-resistant Elms, the colonies may survive. Butterfly Conservation have made the Whiteletter Hairstreak a Priority Species for conservation.

Photo: The endangered White-letter Hairstreak butterfly

Elms for Armistice:

Seaford Tree Wardens are asking residents to help plant 104 new disease-resistant elms in Seaford as part of the Armistice Centenary commemorations. 104 men and boys from Seaford died in WW1, and we hope the trees will be a lasting memorial. Elms have been chosen because they’re iconic to our region, grow well in our climate and support a huge number of wildlife species.

At 7-8 years old they will be able to support the Hairstreak butterfly. Our Armistice memorial trees will be part of a larger project to plant over one thousand new disease resistant elm trees in the South Downs National Park Area.

Can you help?

• Do you work or live somewhere with space to plant a tree – or several?

• Do you live near a park or green space? Could you and your neighbours help plant and care for some elm trees? As well as being a memorial to Seaford’s war dead, the trees will bring shade, beauty and wildlife to your neighbourhood.

• Do you have space for an elm tree in your garden?

Could you plant an Armistice elm? Elms are tough trees, and easy to care for.

• Can you help plant the trees in November?

• Can you help look after one of the trees – maybe help with watering, or keeping an eye on it and contacting the Tree Wardens if there’s a problem?

• Would you like to learn how to become a ‘Hairstreak spotter?’ It’s vital we understand about where they live and breed if we are to save them.

Give your lawn some extra TLC this Autumn

If your lawn is beyond repair due to our swelte ring summer, ask us about our Lawn Mak eover - the best way to ge t ‘the GreenThumb lawn.’

Our lawns have had a lot to put up with this year.

Give your lawn some extra TLC this Autumn to help restore it to full health and prepare it for next Spring.

Late Summer Feed If your lawn hasn’t had a feed yet, apply a fertiliser in September to help prepare the lawn for Autumn & Winter.

Our nutrient-rich fertiliser slow releases for up to 10 weeks and our selective herbicides will take care of any weeds which have popped up towards the end of the summer.

Aerate for better root development

Scarify to allow fresh growth

All soil types can become compacted, especially in periods of dry weather.

Compaction prevents free drainage of water, hinders microbial activity and affects root development, all of which means a thinner, weaker lawn and more than likely, more moss. Hollow tine aeration removes small cores of soil, thereby reducing compaction and improving the overall health of your lawn.

If your lawn has suffered from the dry weather this summer, feels spongy underfoot or has excess moss, it may need scarifying. Scarifying removes excess thatch enabling the better flow of oxygen, nutrients and moisture to the roots, resulting in a healthier lawn and creating space for new fresh grass to grow through.

Need some help? We offer a range of lawn care treatments and packages to suit all needs & budgets. If you would like advice on any aspect of lawn care, call us on 01273 020720 or email us at lewes@greenthumb.co.uk for a free, no obligation Lawn Analysis. www.greenthumb.co.uk

Cycle Seahaven It’s been an amazing Summer for Cycle Seahaven this year. The fantastic weather we have had has seen us have a record number of rides – over 250 since the beginning of April, including both on- and off-road rides, Family rides and Ladies only rides. We have also seen people getting back on their bikes or starting to ride with our Public Health Rides. These are available to non members and are a great way of starting out.

More information can be found on our website and our calendar.

Eighteen of our ladies, from beginners to tri-athletes, recently enjoyed a gentle ride to Follers Manor, and enjoyed visiting the gardens and having tea and cake before cycling back home.

The kids also celebrated the last day of the holidays with a ride along the Seafront and on to the Bird Hide on the Ouse Estuary Trail before heading back for a picnic in the park.

Some other highlights we have had this Summer include assisting with the Launch of the Cycle Hub in Peacehaven, a 3-day and a 2-day ride over the South Downs Way – 100 miles of stunning scener, supporting Newhaven SCDA with their Open Day as well as the introduction of our Health Rides in conjunction with South Downs National Park.

Can’t wait to hear about it! We also have a Family Treasure Hunt and our annual Halloween Fancy Dress Ride, as well as a 2-day intensive Outdoor First Aid course which is discounted for members and great fun. New members joining in October, November and December will benefit from free membership until renewal on 1st January, so what’s stopping you? You can come along for 3 rides before needing to join, or come along to any of our Public Health rides (just register beforehand). There are benefits to joining, including discounts at Mr Cycles and other local businesses and more details can be found on our website. Haven’t got a bike? No problem, we have a few that are available to borrow, including e-bikes.

Membership starts at £7 per year for single membership or £14 for household membership.

More information can be found on our website www. cycleseahaven.org.uk Photos from top: Family ride and picnic; Ladies ride to Follers Manor.

Our Dr Bike sessions at Seaford and Peacehaven have also been a great success, with 138 bikes fixed to date, and £426 raised for our nominated charity, Cycling Without Age and their purchase of a Tri-Shaw to get local residents out and about in the fresh air. Our Dr Bike sessions run from April to October in Seaford (on the first Saturday of the month) and Peacehaven (third Saturday of the month) but don’t put your bike away for the winter – come and join us on some rides as we will continue to ride throughout the year.

Still to come this year – our Tourers are switching their road bikes for mountain bikes and going off road!

Neighbourhood Plan Update: The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group met on Tuesday 21st August. The meeting was informed that it had not been possible to meet earlier as, in response to the Consultation Documents issued late last year, the comments of the statutory consultees (such as Lewes District Council Planners) and representatives of the owners of some sites required further work by specialist consultants. This work has only recently been completed.

The proposals in the Plan were very well received, for example, 96% of those expressing an opinion on the questionnaires supported the proposed policies. The Sustainability Appraisal (SA) was not so well supported by some other consultees. The Sustainability Appraisal is a technical document we are required by law to produce to ensure that our Plan focuses on achieving sustainable development which, for example, involves, where possible, developments being on green-field sites which are close to transport links and community infrastructure, such as shops and GPs surgeries.

Our Neighbourhood Plan will be examined by an Independent Planning Inspector who will ensure that our Sustainability Appraisal demonstrates how the Seaford Neighbourhood Plan is promoting sustainable development before it can progress to a referendum and subsequently its adoption. It is therefore critical to the success of the Plan.

The Dane Valley Project is progressing well: the owners of various sites within the project have each made a contribution to the cost of the next stage of the project which entails specialist consultants doing detailed work to address and cost the key challenges for the site, such as flood alleviation and decontamination. Their report is expected in December. We were pleased to see that Southern Gas has already cleared their part of the site.

We received, within the Public Consultation, many requests for the three fields in Grand Avenue, that back on to properties in Clementine Avenue, to be designated as a Local Green Space. A small Working Party was set up to collect evidence to establish

58

whether the fields met the strict criteria that we are required to use. The Working Party has used an identical methodology to that used in examining the eleven sites that we are already proposing should be Local Green Spaces.

The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group has now decided, based on the new information provided by the Working Party and the Consultant, that: • The Grand Avenue fields should be put forward for designation as a Local Green Space • The revised Sustainability Appraisal is soundly based and provides convincing evidence that the Plan should include Florence House garden as one of the sites for housing development. There has been a recent judgement which has resulted in the garden being classified as a brown field, rather than green field, site.

• There should be a re-consultation exercise (under Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations) in the light of the above decisions.

The Steering Group has been conscious for some time that there is no Design Guidance for housing in Seaford.

We have been successful in securing the services of a design specialist (funded, in effect, by Central Government) to produce a Seaford Design Guide. This will be published and comments sought during the next consultation exercise planned for November/December 2018.

The Steering Group are pleased that we can now move matters on by, hopefully: • agreeing at our next meeting (planned for late September) revised wording for the Plan reflecting the comments we have received; • seeking the Town Council’s agreement, at their meeting on 18th October, to the revised Plan and Sustainability Appraisal being forwarded to Lewes District Council for further consultation and appointment of a Planning Inspector.

It has been frustrating having to accept a delay whilst the above work has been progressed but we have been conscious of the importance of having a Plan, supported by a high quality Sustainability Appraisal, that will be accepted by the Planning Inspector and go forward to a referendum, in due course, and ultimately to implementation.

Seaford Photographic Society The new season got underway at the beginning of September with the welcome-back meeting.

A lot of work goes on behind the scenes over the summer break to put together the members’ handbook. Thanks, as always, to Heather Roberts for organising this, and to Tansleys for the printing.

At this first meeting of the year we get to see the results of the summer competition.

This popular competition is a light-hearted bit of fun to give us all a challenge over the summer break. A very loose theme is set – this year it was ‘tree’. An old film camera is then passed from person and we each have just a day or two to take one shot and then pass the

S. J. Hampton

camera on to the next person on the list. Not everybody has had experience of film cameras and in past years we have had broken cameras, blank exposures, multiple shots of the same scene, etc. At the end of the summer the film is then developed and scanned. The resulting images are projected for us all to see for the first time at this meeting. There were twenty images this year and the judging was carried out by those present voting for their favourite five. There was a lot of variety in the interpretation of the theme, including landscapes with something that looked vaguely like a tree in the far distance, and somebody standing on the stump of a chopped-down tree holding some foliage. There was a clear winner however, with a score of 21. Three images tied for second place, each with 14 points. Because so many people are still on holiday, we haven’t yet been able to ascertain who they belong to! The names of the winners will therefore appear in next month’s newsletter.

Later this month we have the second round of the Print League competition, judged by Cherry Larcombe EFIAP, ARPS, DPAGB, BPE*5, and the second round of the PDI League competition, for Projected Digital Images, judged by Tony Bentley, ARPS. We also have two excellent talks lined up for October.

Firstly, our chairman Gary Carter will be giving advice on the processes involved, and standards required, for anybody thinking of going for photographic distinctions such as LRPS, CPAGB or BPE. At the end of the month we have a presentation by Michael Blencowe on ‘The Butterflies and Moths of East Sussex’. Michael works for the Sussex Wildlife Trust so this should be a very entertaining evening!

The club will shortly be entering its first regional competition of the season.The Ross Cup is the KCPA’s most prestigious award with affiliated clubs from Kent, Sussex and South London taking part.

We have selected 8 prints to represent the club and the judging will take place on 10th November 2018 at Ditton Community Centre, Kiln Barn Rd, Ditton, Aylesford ME20 6QR.This event is open to the public.

Photso from top: the winner and a runner up of the Summer Competition.

He was closely followed by Jeff Young (40:16 – 3rd in the Male V45 category) and Dave Dunstall (40:19) first in the Male V55 category. They were followed by Luke Borland (40:34), Nick Farley (41:53), Joshua Nisbett (42:58), Damian Partridge (43:25) and Andrew Farley (44:25).

Anna Norman was first for the Striders’ ladies in 48:20 and 4th in the Female Senior category, followed by Graham Jones (49:25), Jazz Shiret (53:10), Anneka Redley (54:22) and Wendy Reed (55:39). Also completing the race in under an hour were Emily Eaton (58:09), Kristiane Sherry (58:10), Simon Homer (58:58) and Michelle Varndell (59:35).

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

Seaford Kurlers Hello Readers...

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.

October already. I am not ready to say a temporary goodbye to the summer warmth and sunshine. Right here and now as I write it is blowing a gale and pouring down. So much for the August Bank holiday!

Once again this year Seaford Kurlers helped Wave Leisure with the kurling section of the paragames event. As is usual, the event was a success. The atmosphere is always great. This event looks like being a permanent date on the calendar.

Seaford Kurlers’ AGM is on the 9th October, 2018.

There will be some changes this year because our Chairman and one of the social secretaries will be leaving to move away from Lewes. I am sure that we will have willing members to come forward and take up the roles.

Jane and John will be greatly missed but I am sure they will pop in from time to time. We are a small friendly sports club and always ready to welcome new members. The sport can be as active as you care to make it. There is no reason to be excluded from being ‘sporty’ because our game can be played by people with mobility problems.

We will welcome you on any Tuesday from 2pm until 4pm in the sports hall at the Wave Leisure Centre, Seaford. Our annual membership fee is £5 and the weekly fee is £2.50 Contact June Wood, Sec. on 01323 895376 or email sally1989@tiscali. co.uk

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.

To find out more visit: www.sarahjonescounselling.co.uk or to arrange an initial assessment please email:sarahjonescounselling@outlook.com or telephone: 07843 013861.

The Alexander Technique Are you fed up with pain or tightness that restricts your movement? Are you recovering from an injury or operation and wish the recovery would speed up?

It’s quite possible that the Alexander Technique could help you. It’s gentle, non-invasive, relaxing and de-stressing.

Try a taster session of one hour with no further commitment for £20

The AGM will take place on Thursday 8th November at The Downs Leisure Centre. The speaker will be from the charity Medical Detection Dogs.

On 6th August there was a very enjoyable trip to Clarence House, which is the official residence of HRH The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. Members were able to see rooms which are used for official engagements and also to look at the gardens which form a green oasis in the heart of London. There were many reminders of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother as most of the contents of the house are still as they were when she was in residence.

For more information about these events and for other information about membership see the Seaford U3A website. The address is https://u3asites.org.uk/ seaford/home If you are interested in joining and would like to talk to someone about it please ring 01323 899572 or come to a coffee morning when a committee member will be happy to talk to you and introduce you to a few people.

Vote 100 in Seaford An event to celebrate the centenary of women’s suffrage and promote women’s role in public life will be held in Seaford on Wednesday 3rd October.

One hundred years ago, the Representation of the People Act gave some women over the age of 30 the vote for the first time and marked the start of the movement that campaigned for the right of every woman to vote.

The event will include an informal ‘warts and all’ discussion with a cross-party group of female councillors. Organisers hope it will encourage more women to consider participating in local government and make a difference in their communities.

If you would like find out more please come along.

This free event is at the Clinton Centre, Seaford on Wednesday 3rd October, from 5pm to 7.30pm.

Please email bpp@lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk to register

SEAFORD NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY Come and join Seaford Natural History Society. Our 2018/2019 indoor programme starts this year with David Saunders from Sussex Wildlife Trust (SWT) talking about Restoring Woodland Culture in the Weald (October 2nd). On the 16th we leave the land for the sea with Sarah Ward (also from SWT) on Our Living Seas and on the 30th we are back on dry land with Simon Davy, whose topic is Lichens.

We are a long-established society with an interest in wildlife, particularly the flora, fauna and habitats of Sussex. We meet at St Luke’s Church, Walmer Road at 2.15pm on Tuesday afternoons – see the listings at the back for details. Visitors are welcome – we ask for a donation of £3, which will be deducted from your membership if you decide to join the society. For more information about the talks or joining the society, please visit our website at www.seafordnaturalhistory. org.uk or ring 01323 893526.

Out and about in October Hedgerows are an important habitat for wildlife. They provide plenty of cover for small mammals, insects and birds and are made up of different species of woody plants of varying shapes and sizes. A good hedgerow has a mix of hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel, spindle, field maple, wayfaring tree and wild service tree with occasional taller trees like oak and ash. It will have honeysuckle, brambles, native roses, ivy and wild clematis rambling through it and a thick growth of plants like grasses, cow parsley and hedge mustard at the foot. (Hedgerow picture – Dr Susan Johnson, Charles Darwin Trust) According to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, hedgerows may support up to 80 per cent of our woodland birds, 50 per cent of our small mammals and 30 per cent of our butterflies. They provide song posts, shelter and nesting opportunities for both woodland and farmland birds like yellowhammer, whitethroat, blue tit and great tit, and food (nectar, berries, nuts and leaves) for many invertebrates, mammals and birds.

They also provide food and shelter for larger mammals like stoats and badgers, highways for bats, and when

80

there are ditches and banks at their foot, habitat for frogs, toads, newts and reptiles.

At this time of the year hedgerows look a bit less vibrant than in the spring and summer but there is still plenty going on. Ivy flowers may not look very exciting, but they provide essential food for late season insects by day and night, and the dead wood of old stems provides a home for beetles.

Autumn fruits provide food for birds, rats, mice, shrews and voles when there is less food available elsewhere, and butterfly eggs overwinter on twigs. Much of the activity in hedgerows is invisible (although you may hear rustlings), but one thing you can see on a damp misty morning is spiders webs covered in dew – a great chance to really see the structure of the webs.

And any article about hedgerows has to mention hedgehogs. Before suburban gardens were available, hedgehogs lived in and around hedgerows and woodland edges, which still provide them with ideal locations for nest sites, places to hibernate, a good supply of invertebrates on which to feed, protection from predators and the hedgehog equivalent of footpaths.

East Sussex pupils start off the year on the right foot Pupils in East Sussex are able to enjoy an active return to school this year, thanks to a group of enthusiastic pupils who have created an Active Travel Map. Year 8 pupils in Seaford produced a map for students moving from their primary schools into secondary school. The resource is full of useful information for students who will be making these journeys for the first time this year.

The aim is that by giving the students and their families as much information as possible, they will be able to choose the healthiest ways to travel.

At the end of the last academic year, the pupils presented the maps to year 6 pupils in Seaford to

Students presenting Active Travel Map. encourage them to travel sustainably when they start secondary school this week.

Living Streets, the UK charity behind the walk to school campaign worked with the group of pupils, a parent governor and Seaford Head School to produce the map.

The charity aims to encourage more pupils to walk to school, helping to reduce congestion, road danger and air pollution, whilst ensuring children are more active.

Eleanor Togut, Project Coordinator, Living Streets said: “I’d urge any families starting their new school run for this year to think of a way to fit some walking in. Not only does it allow children to be more active but it also ensures school gates are safer and cleaner – it really is the healthiest way to travel.

“This group of enthusiastic pupils have worked really hard to produce this resource and I’m sure it’s going to help so many of their peers” To find out more about Living Streets’ walk to school campaign, visit www.livingstreets.org.uk/walktoschool – together we can start the next academic year off on the right foot with safer and healthier school gates.

HOME MADE DELICIOUS FOOD. PARTIES WELCOME. PRIVATE DINING AREA AVAILABLE. OPEN 7pm - LAST ORDERS 9pm

At our July meeting we had a talk from Bob Lacey, giving us the history of the life of Rudyard Kipling. Kipling was one of the most successful authors of his time.

Unfortunately, such was his fame that he became a ‘tourist attraction’ and was plagued by visitors peering over the garden wall. He thus decided to move to Batemans, in Burwash, where he enjoyed the tranquillity he sought. Kipling died in 1936, but 80 years later almost all his works are still in print.

OC T2 01 8

Born in India in 1853 his background gave him much material for his subsequent books about life in the Raj. His children’s books, such as The Jungle Book have been loved by many generations of readers, both young and old. Kipling lived in America, and later returned to England. By now a famous man, Kipling sought peace and quiet for his family, and moved to Rottingdean.

At our August meeting we had a talk from one of our own members, David Burleigh, who described to members his career within the world of Local Authorities. He had begun in what was then known as ‘Weights and Measures’, checking that weighing and measuring equipment within shops was accurate, and that petrol pumps did dispense a true gallon.

With increasing legislation affecting consumer goods the role expanded to ‘Trading Standards’, ensuring that products sold were ‘fit for purpose’. This lead to further work identifying counterfeit goods, and initiating prosecutions of offenders. The year 2019 will mark the 50th anniversary of the foundation of The Probus Club of Seaford, and plans are being made for a suitable event to mark this milestone.

Catering for all occasions

Seahaven Hard of Hearing Club Our August meeting saw members visiting Raystede Animal Sanctuary. As it was such a hot day we started with ice creams all round. Then everyone went their own way to see the animals, walk round the lake or just sit with a cup of tea and chat.We all met up again to have tea and cake before making our way home. Our thanks to NP&S Lions for the use of their mini bus and to Clem for being our driver for the afternoon.

‘Do you know that Punch and July was seen by Samuel Peyps in the early 1600s and written about in his famous diary?’ This was one of the fascinating facts about Punch and Judy that our speakers, Ron and Jackie, told us about at the September meeting. They told us the history of Punchinella (Punch) coming from Italy in the early 1600s right through until the present day. Punch and Judy are still very popular and people from 3 - 95 years old still turn out to watch the shows today.

We meet this month on Thursday 18th October when we welcome Christine Campbell-Dykes from Hailsham, who will be demonstrating ‘Supermarket Dash’. The title sounds intriguing – perhaps she will be showing us all how to make the most of good value supermarket flowers. Why not come along and find out?

The competition this month is “Black Magic” and this should set our members thinking, maybe along the lines of Halloween which, of course, is later this month.

Seaford Afternoon Flower Club

At our August meeting we were all given the same mechanics and similar flowers, and set about creating a design. This is known as an imposed workshop, and is always great fun and interesting to see the many and varied interpretations our members create. The competition, ‘A Seascape’ was well supported with some fantastic designs from our talented members.

Looking ahead to November, Michelle King from Warnham will be demonstrating ‘Tutti Frutti’. We are sure this will be a most entertaining afternoon.

We have a full programme of Demonstrations, Workshops and Competitions for 2018. Why not come and join us? We meet at the Baptist Church Hall in Belgrave Road, Seaford, BN25 2EE on the third Thursday of each month (except January) at 2pm.

Our fees for this year have been held at £28 and visitors are always very welcome at £5 on the door which includes refreshments. Contact Mary Morris on 01323 893899 or Sue Ward on 01323 894848 for further details.

TWINNERS STILL MEETING Seaford’s Twinning Group, the Friends of Bönningstedt, officially disbanded a year ago, although the Twinning Agreement (or Partnerschaft) is still in existence. It just needs someone to pick it up and run with it!

The former Members are still meeting. A small “Oktoberfest” is planned, and the Plauschgruppe or German Conversation Group met at the Galley Café in September, and two more meetings are planned. To join them, whatever your standard of spoken German, just come to the White Lion Pub (Function Room) on Wednesday 17th October or Tuesday 27th November.

Wednesday is Steak Night at the pub, and the kitchen is also open for service on the Tuesday. Meetings, very informal, start around 7pm and close about 9.30pm.

The Bönningstedt Pop Choir (PopChor “Come Together) are hoping to visit Seaford from 30th May to 2nd June next year. They have previously performed on the Seaford seafront with the Seaford Silver Band, and also with Archway Choirs. They have contacted most of our local Choirs and Vocal Groups, and one is interested in a combined Concert.

Details of all events can be had from former Chairman Peter White on peterwhitecrier@hotmail.com Photos PopChor singing at the Martello Tower.

ROTARY CLUB OF SEAFORD

Boot, Craft and Produce Fair What a difference a week can make!

On Sunday 29th July, the weather was wet, but on Sunday 5th August there was clear cloudless sky for the August Boot, Craft and Produce Fair held on the Martello Fields, and the hot temperatures experienced in most days in July had returned.

There were 60 stallholders, and although this was the lowest number this year, there have only been 4 fairs out of the 35 Rotary fairs before this year at which there have been more than 60 stalls, but this year there have been four (April – 79, May – 84, June – 96 and July – 68).

May be the hot weather was a deterrent; there were definitely more parasols at this Boot fair than other this year, but none were for sale; all were protecting the stall holders from the strong sunlight.

As usual there are a selection of large or quirky and unusual items for sale. These included: a double matrimonial hammock; bicycles; moses baskets with stands and a child’s high chair; furniture including a dressing table with stool, a wicker chair and garden chairs; a rotary drier complete with ground stake; dolls’ houses.

The Rotary stall replenished with donated good quality items had a record morning, taking a massive £276 which exceeded the previous record of £216 in August last year. Additionally, Rotarian Anne Reed and her husband Rodney from Seaford Martello Rotary Club on their own stall took in £265, which will be split equally between the two Rotary Clubs.

• • • • • •

106

As a result, the income from this fair exceeded £1,000, and has made this calendar year the best for gross takings and profit with two more Boot, Craft and Produce Fairs on 2nd September and 7th October.

All the money raised by Seaford Rotary will be put to good use for charitable causes.

Our immense gratitude goes to all those who attended, whether stall holders or members of the public, you all helped to make this fair such a magnificent success.

Seaford Rotary Club hopes to see you all again at the last Boot, Craft and Produce Fair of 2018 to be held at Martello Field West on 7th October.

Seahaven Para Games 2018 Twenty-two seconds – you’ve been beaten by a single second!

The finale to the Seahaven Para Games 2018 was the wheelchair slalom which all participants find exhilarating to various degrees. After all the participants had taken part, two entrants were tied on twenty-three seconds, and so a further run was necessary to determine the fastest participant. In the first run a time of twenty-one seconds was recorded, and so with the spectators looking eagerly on, the second entrant attempted to better that time, but although recording a quicker time than in the first run, it was insufficient to be the quicker around the course than the other participant on the second run. The smiles on the faces of all the entrants showed that they however were all winners.

Seaford Rotary Club was one of the sponsors of the seventh annual Seahaven Para Games at the Downs Leisure Centre in Seaford, an event which gives the Club the opportunity to support disabled people in our community. The games are non-competitive, although the participants put this philosophy to the test with the wheelchair slalom when contestants endeavoured to record the quickest time around the circuit. When all the participants were assembled, Duncan Kerr, CEO of Wave Leisure, welcomed all who were taking part, their families, friends and carers, as well as Maria Caulfield, our constituency MP, Seaford Mayor Linda Wallraven with her consort Liz Holland, Peter Carcas from Sainsbury’s plc and Steven Willox, President of Seaford Rotary Club.

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

The morning events included indoor bowls, at which Steven Willox and Maria Caulfield tried the game out watched by Seaford Mayor Linda Wallraven. Other events included adapted tennis, darts, high scoring wedge and target zone, a form of boccia, which proved to be well liked with increasing numbers of wheelchairs surrounding the target on the floor. In the dance studio, there were various forms of Tri-Golf which also attracted many participants.

After lunch, the programme gave the opportunity for the participants to enjoy kurling, basketball and table tennis or Qi Gong, a form of physical exercises and breathing control related to Tai Chi before they all took part in an exercise music class. All the participants then reassembled in the main hall for the final event, the wheelchair slalom. The event proved to be very

popular as there was a queue to take part.

Duncan Kerr thanked all who contributed to make this such an excellent day, and especially to all who took part and made it all so worthwhile. Duncan Kerr presented certificates and Peter Carcas awarded medals to all who took part. After that there was just time for a group photograph.

SEND Family Fun Day

Seaford Rotary Club was delighted to provide a donation to enable prizes and equipment to be purchased for a Family Fun Day for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and which would also be put to good use in regular SEND events throughout the year in a Get Set Club that would provide stimulation and support for needy youngsters.

The SEND Family Fun Day took place on Wednesday 22nd August at the Downs Leisure Centre and featured football, cricket, basketball and a sensory circuit outdoors, whilst indoors there were bouncing, throwing and catching techniques, tennis skills, Tri Golf, high scoring wedge and kurling. There was also face painting and a chill out zone with Lego, colouring and Nintendo Wii games. Outside there was a Police car, which proved very popular with the youngsters. The organisation of all the activities was impressive and the smiles on the faces of the children showed that the day was a success. Seaford Rotary Club is glad to have had the opportunity to support this worthwhile cause.

Rotary Club of Seaford which meets Wednesday lunchtime at Seaford Golf Club welcomes new members. For more information contact us on www.seafordrotary.org.uk/contact.php

Refill Seaford and Newhaven says Thank you On 1st September we had our launch event at Frankie’s Beach Café on the Esplanade and were delighted that so many of you came down to say hello, put the app on your phones and enjoy the music of The Blaker sisters in the sunshine – courtesy of our main Sponsors South East Water.

Our volunteers really enjoyed talking to so many of you and we have had some great feed back on social media and in person from residents and visitors alike. A great big well done and thank you to all who took part.

I was also able to give the first talk to a local group and thanks to Martello Rotary Club for a warm welcome and some pertinent questions.

We are also welcoming three new local Refill stations which you will find really useful – the South Downs National Park Visitor Centre at Exceat, Sub Station in Seaford and Bite2Eat café in Newhaven. .

If you missed the launch Party, by the time you read this you will have had the chance to meet us again at the Neighbourhood Watch Good Neighbours event on 25th September.

Most important of all I hope you will have seen that 27th September was National Refill Day and have joined the #RefillRevolution and seen some of the events which will have taken place nationally.

It came as a shock to me to read that it is estimated that Britons spend about £1.5 billion on bottled water each year when we have some of the best available tap water in the world. The average adult now buys three plastic bottles of water a week. Of the 13 billion plastic bottles sold each year in the UK only 43% are currently recycled and 700,00 are littered every day. Too many of the latter are left in the streets of our lovely town and in our beauty spots. Plastic bottles make up a third of all plastic pollution in the sea and there are now over 159 of them for every mile of UK beach.

We can all make a difference! Let’s make drinking tap water from your own reusable bottle the norm and stop this plastic habit.

Don’t forget you can download the Refill app here to get the location maps to find them https://www. refill.org.uk/get-the-refill-app/ and also register your business and others if you have their permission.

Find us on Facebook Refill Seaford and Newhaven as there is a group and a page to follow.Twitter @ RefillSN plus new social media account on Instagram @refillsn General enquiries for talks and information to RefillSeafordandNewhaven@gmail.com Christine Brett, Chair of Refill Seaford and Newhaven.

National Trust Seaford Association passes £100,000 Milestone The National Trust Seaford Association was founded in 1985 to promote the work of the National Trust and to raise funds. Currently we have 400 members with an active programme of visits to and lectures on historic properties plus social events and fund-raising fairs. In 2018 we have now passed a milestone with National Trust projects funded now totalling £105,715.

The Committee recently visited the Clergy House in Alfriston where its manager, Holly Jones, showed the results of our recent grant of £1,848 to complete the furnishing of the seventeenth-century parlour. She

explained how income rarely exceeded expenditure on this, the first A new scrub mower property ever for Birling Gap acquired by the National Trust, and it was only funds from associations like ours which enabled these projects to be carried out. Indeed, our very first donation of £100 was for plants in the Clergy House garden and we have now offered a further £5,000 to rebuild their garden paths.

This year, due to members’ support and generosity, we have also provided new blinds costing £1,540 to protect the furniture in the two dining rooms at Scotney Castle, contributed £3,000 to a scrub mower for Birling Gap, paid £767 for a charcoal-making kiln in Sheffield Park and £572 for woodworking tools at Slinden.

Over 18 years the 74 separate donations to 21 different properties or houses we have made cover an enormous range of projects, ranging from wheelchairs and benches to bat detectors and beehives. If you have tea in the Sheffield Park café you may find yourself warming by a log fire for which we paid. The chalk grassland of our wonderful downs has been variously managed by ponies grazing at our expense or by the scrub mowers used to keep the brambles down.

If you would be interested in helping the National Trust whilst enjoying our activities, why not come along to our first winter lecture in the Constitutional Club on Wednesday 17th October for a talk on Charles II and his escape through Sussex in 1654.

Plastic Free Seaford

It’s certainly been a busy summer, considering the campaign was only founded in March this year! I’ve felt the momentum of it’s message really grow! It’s clear that people want to make changes but are not always sure how. We aim to bridge that gap and share information on simple switches, plastic alternatives and where to source them from locally.

What are our future aims:

• running workshops with Stitch of Broad Street; • raising awareness of how we can all work together

making swaps from plastic to glass and other alternatives with Morrisons; • regular monthly Community meetings held at The Seven Sisters pub, to plan activities in raising awareness of the issue as a group (see the monthly ‘Whats On’ page for dates); • meet me in October at a Wave Leisure, date to be confirmed, where I will be manning a stall with all of the swaps you can make, and how easy and money saving they can be!

The plastic epidemic is confusing as there are now more alternatives out there to vex us in our choices!

The simple measures are to REFUSE, REUSE, REFILL – and lucky for Seaford we now have the Refill Scheme up and running.

Quick Facts:

• Scientists have recently discovered microplastics embedded deep in the Arctic ice.

• In 1950, the world’s population of 2.5 billion

produced 1.5 million tons of plastic; in 2016, a global population of more than 7 billion people produced over 320 million tons of plastic. This is set to double by 2034.

WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER TO STOP BUYING SO MUCH PLASTIC If you want information about how to start the process or registering your business as a plastic free champion, please email: plasticfreeseaford@gmail.com.

Plastic Free Seaford is a social movement dedicated to raising awareness of plastic pollution and working together to reduce it. We now have a small group of volunteers who are working towards the SAS Plastic Free Communities status but always need more people to volunteer for events. If you would like to get involved or have any ideas on how to raise awareness collaboratively please get in touch via the email address below!

Seaford Choral Society

Only Remembered

Following our article in September’s Seaford Scene, we are hoping that you are all frantically working on your family stories about World War 1. Some stories have already arrived but we have room for more.

One story features Major Cuthbert Bromley who lived at Sutton Corner and was awarded a VC for amazing gallantry before being killed when his troopship was torpedoed. Find out more at the next concert. Your stories will be projected on the walls as the choir sings ‘The Armed Man’ and other pieces during the Only Remembered concert. This takes place in Seaford Baptist Church on Saturday, 24th November. Tickets are available from Newberry Tully Estate Agents or Steamworks (the bakehouse and craft ale bar in the station building), or from any choir member. As well

as being a multimedia memorial of the end of WW1 and the suffragettes, the concert will welcome the start of the Christmas season.

And did you know…

Singing is good for your lungs. Though no largescale controlled tests have taken place yet, there is compelling evidence that people suffering from lung complaints such as COPD and bronchiectasis can be helped by singing. Researchers at Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent were astounded at the improvements in patients who joined choirs. For most, the gradual deterioration caused by COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) reduced, stopped or even reversed. Singers have more control over their breathing and patients were surprised that they could maintain long notes. Nurses and GPs in local surgeries are adding singing to the list of therapies they can prescribe and people are feeling the benefits. You don’t have to be suffering from breathing problems though.

Everyone can benefit from a good sing with a group of friendly people. If you haven’t tried it, now is as good a time as any.

Please contact info@seaford-choral-society.com with your WW1 names and stories or your own name if you would like to sing.

DEganGas Services Remembering loved ones

A special service is to be held in November inviting people to remember loved ones who have died, and to light a candle in their memory.

It will be at St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford, and this is an invitation for everyone to take part. The names of those whose funerals have been held at the church this year will be read out, and the names of others can also be read as well if their names are included on a list at the back of the church. These should be added a couple of weeks beforehand. Names can also be added to the prayer tree in the chancel of the church.

It will be on Friday 2nd November at 7.30pm, and refreshments will be provided afterwards. Celebrating All Souls’ Day is an ancient Christian tradition dating back to the 10th century. It is a day for remembering not only family and friends, but also all who have died.

No Call Out Charge No Job too Big or Small Free Estimates

Why a peacock? Well, from ancient times and in many cultures rich meanings were attached to the peacock. It was revered, and in Western Christianity it became a symbol of immortality and of the resurrection of Christ. It is therefore an appropriate, memorable, and beautiful symbol of eternal life.

MOCKFORD’S THE BLINDMAKERS ANNOUNCEMENT For over three decades Mockford’s has been a small family business manufacturing and fitting blinds for discerning customers, who appreciate quality and the personal service only a small business can provide.

At various times over the years, they have taken action to ensure they remain a small business, for example closing the Seaford and Eastbourne showrooms, cancelling all advertising except the Seaford Scene.

It is now necessary to take further action to restrict their business, consequently they will not fit blinds in commercial premises, for example, hotels, offices etc, they will only fit blinds into homes in Eastbourne, Seaford and the surrounding villages.

The showroom attached to their workshop will be closed, the premises will be used for making roller blinds, some blinds will be displayed on the windows for those who wish to visit but please telephone, before travelling, to ensure Jean or Harvey Mockford are there to welcome you.

Mockford’s the blindmakers Most types of blind supplied and fitted, their speciality is handmade roller and vertical blinds, including spare weights and chains for verticals etc supplied.

Workshop: The Industrial Estate, 1 Green Street, Eastbourne, BN21 1QN Telephone 01323 417518 during office hours.

If you live in the Seaford and Eastbourne area and wish to arrange for Jean or Harvey to visit you with samples and submit an estimate, please telephone. If they are not in the office your call will be diverted to their mobile.
