Welcome...

to the October issue of Seaford Scene. Autumn has arrived and what a lovely time of the year it is, when the leaves change their colour from green to glorious reds and golds. October means Seaford Bonfire Society’s annual procession and fireworks display – this year it’s on Saturday 19th October – more details in the What’s On pages, 129 - 137. Talking of bonfires, we have an article on East Sussex Fire & Rescue volunteers on page 28. If you fancy a bit of Fleetwood Mac turn to page 26 for more information. If you prefer some classical music, the Corelli Ensemble have a star-studded 30-year celebration concert on Sunday 27th, see page 47. Moving outdoors, we have news from Seaford Natural History Society on page 82 and Sussex Wildlife Trust on page 33 plus an update from Cycling Without Age on page 91. We have articles from Newhaven, Peachaven and Seaford Lions (page 95) and Seaford Hard of Hearing Club (page 100), and dare I say it...we have up and coming events tinsel- and turkey-wise, if you know what I mean! Don’t forget to put your clocks back on Sunday 27th and prepare yourself for a spooky Halloween on Thursday 31st! Enjoy your October... Fran Tegg. Editor

over £2,400 Raised at Charity Football Tournament Chandlers Building Supplies’ charity football tournament raised nearly £2,500 for four worthy causes. The funds generated from the event, held on Sunday 1st September, will be split among Rainy Day Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust, Variety – the Children’s Charity and local Seaford WOLO charity – helping local families affected by cancer. The charity football tournament welcomed more than 500 spectators and was generously hosted by Seaford Town FC. The brainchild of local builders merchants,

Chandlers Building Supplies, the event was supported by Celeb FC who provided a team of look-a-likes plus a team of people from the world of TV and sport. Cancer survivor, Fler Wright of Seaford’s WOLO (We Only Live Once) charity – whose mission is to help local families who are affected by cancer in very practical ways – said: “We were thrilled to be part of such a fantastic event. Not only will the funds be very helpful but it was also a great platform for WOLO to raise its profile and communicate our charitable goals locally.” You can find out more about the WOLO Foundation on their website https://wolofoundation.org/. Sue McKinney of Chandlers Building Supplies, said: “We are delighted that the day was such a success. With the look-a-likes of Mrs. Brown, Simon Cowell, David Beckham, Robbie Williams, Prince Harry and Marilyn Monroe taking part, there was a lot of fun and photos! “A big thank you goes to each of the 10 football teams that took part in the tournament and to the amazing team at Seaford Town FC who hosted the entire day. In total more than 100 people, many from Seaford, were involved in the day so it’s great that the hard work has been rewarded with such a healthy sum. We look forward to distributing this among the charities.” Footie teams that played in the tournament included two Chandlers Building Supplies teams from Lewes and Petworth, two Seaford Town FC Veterans teams and Newhaven ladies veterans team HRT UTD. The hotly contested winner’s trophy was won by Celeb FC. Chandlers Building Suppliers is a family owned builders and roofers merchant with 14 branches throughout London, South East and West Midlands. www. chandlersbs.co.uk Photo: Look-a-likes (l-r) Rory McIIroy, Mrs Brown, Simon Cowell, Jason Statham and Kylian Mbappe.

ACVTA French Twinning Group Our French friends arrive here on Friday 27th Sept for an action-packed, longanticipated weekend together. We look forward to welcoming the Mayor of Veules-les-Roses, JeanClaude Claire on this his last Twinning visit before retiring from public life. It is so good to hear that in recognition of his long and dedicated service to Veules, he has been awarded the Légion d’honneur. Congratulations Mr Mayor! We also thank Dr June Goodfield who will be retiring as our Chair this month after serving us in this position since the twinning came into being in 2013. It was June and Babette Kundrat who worked together to forge these precious links which have brought such pleasure to our members on both sides of the channel. JeanClaude, June and Babette, thank you for all you have done and the pleasure it has brought into all our lives. At this very special moment Dr. June has chosen to launch her latest very special book. Glory in Defeat is a fascinating account of the hitherto neglected and unresearched story of the post Dunkirk attempts to rescue soldiers of 51st Highland Division and others, who had been resisting Rommel’s advancing troops around our beautiful Twinning village of Veules-les-Roses and the unexpected links she found with our own coastline. This book has just been launched at Newhaven Fort by Dr June in the company of the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex, Peter Field, Maria Caulfield MP and the Mayors of Seaford and Newhaven In his forward to the book, Alastair Dorward, Chairman 51st Highland Division and Ross Trust, wrote of the courage of the past and the friendships forged in the present. He describes the book as “A wonderful account combining both past and present, and the rich link between Alfriston and Veules les Roses...Seldom can twinning have been so passionately developed and to such great effect.”

If your copy of Seaford Scene has dropped onto your mat by 27th, you will be just in time for the Alfriston launch of Dr June Goodfield’s book. The Alfriston launch of the book Glory from Defeat: Our Second Dunkirk will take place in Alfriston War Memorial Hall at 5.30pm on Friday 27th September 2019. This story reveals dramatic events that took place nine days after Dunkirk – when 20,000 British soldiers were still in France – and three months after D-Day, when Veules les Roses, with which Alfriston is twinned, was the last coastal town in Normandy to be liberated. While this history is covered, so too are the commemorative events that the two communities celebrated and which culminated in a message of goodwill from Her Majesty The Queen and an endorsement by Dame Vera Lynn. Dame Vera Lynn’s words appear on the back cover: “A wonderful tribute to the role of the gallant 51st Highlanders after Dunkirk, along with courageous efforts of many individuals from East Sussex and Normandy. Lasting friendships have been forged between their communities who continue to share many moving commemorative events.” One copy of the book will be included in the ticket price: there will be a short presentation and afterwards a glass of wine to toast the courage of both the soldiers and the Sussex boatmen on that day. Early booking essential. Tickets (£15 individual/£20 duo) available by email to: gloryfromdefeat@gmail.com (we will then forward bank transfer details), or telephone the author June Goodfield and leave a message on 01323 870073, or by direct purchase at The Shot Coffee House, the Gun Room, Alfriston BN26 5TL, tel: 01323 368011.

SEAFORD’S SKATE JAM

Seaford Town Council’s official opening of its new state of the art skatepark at the Salts Recreational Ground, Seaford on Saturday 17th August saw a fantastic turn out of skaters and riders with their friends and families. The skatepark was opened by the Mayor of Seaford, Cllr Nazish Adil, joined by representatives from NPS Lions and officers from Seaford Town Council. The contractor who built the skatepark, CANVAS, was also on site to give out prizes to skaters and riders of all abilities, as well as showcasing some amazing demonstrations throughout the afternoon. Cllr Nazish Adil said, ‘I thoroughly enjoyed the opening of the Skatepark at the Salts for the young, the old and the pro at wheel manoeuvring and skilled biking! Special thanks to CANVAS, Sports England, NPS Lions and Seaford Town Council Officers for coming together and making this happen. It was a pleasure to see it being so busy and well used.

awesome. Happy skating everyone.’ The development of the new skatepark contributes to the achievement of one of the Town Council’s five longterm strategic objectives for the town: to improve and maintain the recreational facilities. Through diligent work of the Seaford Town Council Officers the skatepark has been paid for from Section 106 funds, a generous donation from NPS Lions and a grant from Sports England. The whole project has therefore been made possible at no cost to the taxpayer.

permission has also been granted for four NEWHAVEN &Planning DISTRICT floodlights which will be installed this autumn, opening up the possibility for longer skating hours all year round. MODEL RAILWAY CLUB

Sussex Arts Collective

COLLECTIONS Seven

The Cuckmere Room Crypt Gallery, Church Street, Seaford. Saturday 5th October until Thursday 31st October 2019. Open 10am – 4pm Mon –Sat (Closed Wednesdays), Sundays 12 – 3pm. FREE ENTRY to exhibition and medieval undercroft. Edging ever nearer to the end of what has been an epic year for the Sussex Arts Collective they are delighted to announce that, with agreement with the Crypt Gallery Trustees, they will be extending their residency to the end of 2020.

For the Collective it has been a pleasure organising the COLLECTIONS exhibitions for such an appreciative audience, and having had the opportunity to bring their work on a regular basis to the wider public they relish the chance to do it all again next year. At a time when ‘I’ and ‘me’ are the imperatives it’s refreshing to find this group adopting an approach which puts the emphasis on ‘us’ and ‘we’. In COLLECTIONS SEVEN they continue to work together to bring their next selection of great artwork. They hope you enjoy it as much as before.

COLLECTIONS SEVEN SPOTLIGHT Chris Heape One of their most popular exhibitors is Hove potter Chris Heape, who has had a busy and fascinating life. He has followed careers as a boat builder in Cornwall, a forester in Hampshire, a tractor and courier driver in Kent, and up until 7 years ago as a radiographer for 20 years. He is a volunteer at Volks Railway, is an award winning 1/12 and 1/19 scale model maker, and was the Chair of the Wealden Potters until its recent demise.

Chris started pottery as a young man via an evening class and a brochure for a vegetarian week of potting in Devon. Having bought a wheel he persuaded his father to let him build a shed on the side of his garage where he could work. Through The Craftsman Potters Association meetings he found work as an assistant in Gordon Plahn’s workshop. Lacking the academic qualifications to follow the art school route he was undeterred, deciding instead to learn his trade as a journeyman artisan finding placements with leading potters from the mid 60s to the 1990s. Among them were: Michael Skipwith, Devon; Peter Layton, Scotland; David Leach, Devon; David Eeles, Dorset; Peter Dick, Yorkshire; and Colin Kellam, Devon. Gaining a wealth of experience he gained his stripes to become a main thrower in three of these workshops and then the principle thrower for Colin Kellam for several years. In tandem he ran his own pottery studio from various homes: in a basement of his first house, in Maidstone, called ‘Yetmoor Pottery’ (a pun that strongly reflects Chris’ sense of humour) and a second in Totnes Devon where he built a wood fired kiln in the garden. Currently he pots from his workshop at the bottom of the garden that he built himself, mainly from second-hand materials and which has been featured in a book by Gareth Thomas, ‘Shed men’. This is where he pursues the practice of reduction fired stoneware pottery in a gas-fired kiln that you will see in COLLECTIONS exhibitions, mainly domestic ware, with the occasional one-off pieces such as his popular Easter Island pots. The Sussex Arts Collective is his main outlet for his pots, as well as a small showroom at his home.

art classes at St James’ Trust We have been holding art classes at St James’ Trust now for three years and I am delighted to say that they continue to go from strength to strength. We hold a range of courses, with the next two starting on Saturday 19th October. There will be a Watercolour Course in the morning (10am - 12 noon) and a Drawing Course in the sfternoon (1 - 3pm). Details can be found on the St James’ Trust website. Everyone is made welcome and even if you have never tried art before, there is no pressure to ‘be good’ – in fact, the main focus is having fun, and picking up ideas and techniques as we go along! In today’s society people are increasingly looking for a purposeful activity that will help them to relax and take their minds off the stresses of everyday life. Art is one of those things that allow people to take a break from their thoughts and immerse themselves into a creative space. In addition to the courses that I run at SJT, I recommend that people check out www. creativity4wellbeing.com (C4W), which is a free arty resource, full of creative activities for people to enjoy. Art isn’t just about ‘drawing’ – it is so much wider than that, which means that just about everyone can find something they enjoy doing! The courses at SJT are designed to be inclusive and put people at ease so do give St James’ Trust a ring and book. The number is 01323 492800. Richard K Potter BA Hons PGCE MA

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Volunteers Eighteen months ago, a friend told me about East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service Volunteers (ESFRS) and the many activities that they are involved in. It seemed very interesting, so I rang to obtain more information. The information I was provided with fired my interest, so I decided to put in an application which then resulted in an interview at Eastbourne Fire Station. ESFRS completed their recruitment process and a couple of weeks later I was accepted as a community volunteer. Since then volunteering has lived up to my expectations. I have been involved in so many varied activities and attended an on-going training programme.

our communities safer by being a modern, communityfocused Fire and Rescue Service.

ESFRS aims to create a safer community for East Sussex and the city of Brighton & Hove, our vision is to make

Community Fire Station Open Days – we take part in Fire Station open days by helping to run stalls, escort people around the station as well as generating referrals for Home Safety visits. Many school children attend these events to learn more about fire and safety.

The make-up of our communities is changing and ESFRS is proud to be part of the diverse communities of East Sussex and the City of Brighton & Hove. We need to improve our understanding of the diverse cultures that exist within our communities and learn how we can work well together to keep them safe. This work will be a priority, particularly in terms of ensuring the service reflects all of the communities we serve and is fair to all. Some of the activities that volunteers get involved in are:

ESFRS Campaigns – We promote Fire / Water / Road Electrical safety, Firework safety, Cooking safety and Business safety. Pride/ Carnival – We show we are fully inclusive and attend many large-scale events where we hand out safety leaflets and raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity. Taking part in large-scale joint training exercises (e.g. simulated rail crash, simulated fire in a large residential centre) – volunteers act as injured casualties/ concerned bystanders, helping to make the scenarios as realistic as possible. Resilience Project – Here we work with vulnerable referrals from Adult Social Care, building up resilience to enable referred clients to live a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. We do all this and much, much more... Ted Hopkins, Seaford

Tennis Court Refurbishment at the Salts! Seaford Town Council is pleased to announce that a refurbishment programme has commenced on the first two tennis courts at the Salts Recreation Ground next to the Salts Café in Seaford! The courts have benefitted from weeding, cutting back of vegetation, and an extensive sweep of the court surface to clear away debris. The two tennis courts have new nets and posts, and are free to use by tennis enthusiasts of all ages and abilities in the town. Bring along your own racquets and balls, or sets are available to borrow from the Salts Café during opening times. Maintenance has been carried out by our colleagues at Burleys, to bring the courts up to a playable standard while Seaford Town Council continues to work on securing funding to provide new court surfaces, lighting, fencing and booking system. To include your suggestions in the tennis court re-development process, please take part in our consultation now! https://www. surveymonkey.co.uk/r/TDZHJCP. The refurbishment of the tennis courts was identified by users of the park as a desirable addition to the Salts during a public consultation which lead to the Salts Development Plan being adopted by the Council. At present Seaford does not have any other community

tennis courts open to the general public. Seaford’s Mayor Councillor Nazish Adil said, ‘It gives me such a pleasure to announce that the Tennis courts at the Salts Recreational park are all set to be revived and available for the people to add to their routine and holiday activities. The Salts has been enhanced and advanced in facilities for the locals specially the young and the teens to make most of the summer break, and add to another reason to be outdoors and enjoy the sun, the sea and the greens of our beautiful town. These courts will provide an opportunity for everyone to practise and master their skills while having fun competitions with family and friends. Seaford Town Council is striving hard to promote the park and activities around town for us all. A huge thanks to the team involved in making this happen.’

Sussex Wildlife Trust

Peregrine Falcon:

The bird that started a revolution

On last month’s bird walk at Seaford Head James and the attendees had great views of a Peregrine as it hunted along the cliffs. Peregrines scan the traffic in their Seaford airspace and, when their incredible vision locks on to an unsuspecting bird passing below, they instantly negotiate the most sophisticated aerial manoeuvre possible. They stop flying. With wings and feet tucked in tightly Peregrines drop from the sky at an unbelievable speed – hurtling earthwards at up to 200 mph – the fastest creature on our planet. Everything, even the eyelids and nostrils on this bird are built for speed. Like a bomb made out of muscle and feathers it’ll decimate any victim in its path. We’re fortunate to have these amazing birds nesting around Seaford. During WWII their taste for pigeons (including those carrying top secret wartime messages) saw Peregrines treated as if they were on the payroll of Mr Hitler himself. The Secretary of State for Air declared war on these falcons and issued the ‘Destruction of Peregrine Falcons Order’. The birds were slaughtered, their nests destroyed. After we gave Adolf the old heave-ho our Peregrines were left alone and numbers began to recover. But they were to face an even more deadly threat than the British Government; Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (or DDT to its friends). Farmers worldwide had started spraying a variety of wonderful new chemical insecticides all over the countryside to improve yields. These invisible poisons hit the bird at the top of the food chain the hardest. In 1958 there were 650 pairs of peregrines in Britain. Six years

later there were 68. Concerns over their decline sparked an investigation which led back to the source of the peregrine poisoning and the world’s eyes were opened to the reality of the damage that these chemicals could cause to our environment and to us. Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring, the environmental movement was born and green was upgraded from a sort of yellowyblue colour to an entire way of life. James Duncan will be looking for Peregrines and other birds at our free Seaford Head events on 10th and 24th of October (9.30am-12pm). Meet at South Hill barn car park.

THE DOWNS SCHOOL & BYDOWN On moving to Seaford six years ago I became intrigued about the location where we had settled. With an excellent view of the Downs Leisure Centre and ancient flint walls, I started to gather information on the history of Bydown and Sutton. As long-term residents will know, Sutton was at one time a Saxon settlement quite separate from Seaford. It had a church, which has long disappeared, and a manor house called Sutton Place, now part of Newlands. But I was interested in the land west of the latter – known variously as North Sutton Farm, North Sutton house, The Old Farmhouse and finally Bydown and its neighbourhood. Early estate maps of 1624 and 1740 show that there were farm buildings on Bydown and the site of the current 60+ Club, both with surrounding flint walls. The latter building faced what was then Sutton Green, now part of Newlands. The Green was a large open common extending from the top of Sutton Drove to Manor Road North. This like many common spaces has been purloined over the years by influential landowners. The two fields opposite Bydown, now occupied by the Downs Leisure Centre and recreation grounds, were called Havengate. At the time of the Seaford Tithe Award in 1839, both the farms were leased and occupied by Benjamin and John Waters. The landowners in the early maps and plans were almost as numerous as the plots of land, making the actual ownership too detailed to explain here. When The Sutton Estate, which consisted of freehold, manorial and residential properties, was sold off in 1906, Bydown and the 60+ Club site still had farm outbuildings shown on the sale particulars plan. In 1904 Miss Lucy Robinson, who had founded The Downs Ladies School in 1901, took out a 21-year lease of part of Havengate and moved her school onto

the site in 1904. In 1913 she purchased the parcel of land on which two farm buildings stood, one of which now houses the 60+ Club. Her successor, Miss Cameron, extended the school across the road into Bydown in 1918 and acquired in 1923 a rectangular slice of land from the top end of Havengate on which a swimming pool was built. The remainder of Havengate, now the playing fields, was purchased last in 1928. When the school closed in 1964 the then headmistress, Miss Pitt, generously gifted the plots of land on which the swimming pool and garden were (where the farm buildings stood) to Seaford U.D.C. She requested that the garden should be extended and maintained for the use of the older members of the community and the swimming pool for the enjoyment of the younger members. In the Council’s wisdom the swimming pool was removed and allocated for car parking space. However, from where I live it is obvious from the numbers of people, old and young alike, that the garden is still frequently enjoyed 55 years after Miss Pitt’s bequest and long may it continue. In 1973 Bydown was sold off to housing developers. It has not yet been possible to establish exactly what happened to all the old farm buildings, but thankfully one very large barn, used by the school as a Library, has survived and been converted into a dwelling. Also the playing field has survived as a recreation ground as was originally intended. From the early 20th century the growth of building development has changed the landscape of a hitherto agricultural and rural Sutton into a busy urban sprawl, so it is good to see that a little of the old landscape remains as a peaceful oasis in the middle of all this expansion.

Realising what we have This weekend we left our Seaford bubble for an altogether different south coast town. I’m not going to name names but it has made me realise how lucky we Seafordians are. I’ve only lived here for 4 years, so I’m not sure I qualify as a true Seafordian yet, but my kids definitely do and they really are the lucky ones to grow up here. We have an amazing beach, which aside from the lorries trundling along twice a year to keep it looking good and protecting our coastline, is fairly untouched by human interference. The colourful West Beach huts have made a welcome addition to the esplanade this year, whether you are hiring one for a day of fun and games at the beach or stopping by to look at gems, candles and other pretty things in the retail huts. I am a BIG fan of the beach cafés, for a chat with friends over a coffee, for the kids

to meet up with their friends or grandparents and of course share and obligatory ice cream. We are lucky to have such wonderful places with views across the channel and over the downs right on our doorstep. Seaford has tourists, I think probably more stopping by than when we first moved here but we are in a great position to welcome them to our town with fantastic coffee shops, restaurants and quaint shops, before they make their way over Seaford Head to the South Downs. Tourists come and go in town and on the beach; they use our great facilities and put some money into our little economy before heading off to see the great countryside on offer. Now the town we visited at the weekend felt like stepping back in time, few quality retail outlets, limited housing, a sad looking park and what seemed like very few good job opportunities. Tourists came and went bringing little positives with them. Like us, they were lucky to have a fantastic beach but the town around was sad. We really are lucky to live here. Seaford has boomed, in recent years we’ve seen new shops along Broad Street and High street really showing off the talents of the local area, with amazing arts and craft alongside great eateries. For one small town we have an awful lot to offer. The Salts has seen a great focus from the council and other bodies recently with the new skate park opening for the summer holidays and the new water refill point, showing the town’s interest in going green and reducing the plastics found in the sea. Recently I saw the survey the council is running to understand what else the town wants from the Salts – how lucky we are to have this facility without even considering the opportunities available to make this an even better location for the town’s families, dog walkers, cyclists, sports fans, scooters...the list is endless. We are making progress and improving. By J H-Penn

MARTELLO ROTARY Riding for Disabled update In July’s edition we told you about how our local Riding for the Disabled group used donations from Martello Rotary to purchase new tack. We recently received a letter of thanks from Sarah Groom, who is the group’s leader.

‘I am writing to say a huge thank you for the funds you very generously gave to our group. We have had fabulous attendance with our weekly riding sessions and all our riders, regardless of their level of ability, have continued to make great progress with their riding skills. We are extremely grateful for the funds you donated, which allow us to continue to provide our riders with these opportunities. The picture shows one of our riders at the National Championships, using new stirrups and reins purchased with money you donated.’ For more information on Eastbourne RDA or to find out how you can help please contact sarahgroomEARDA@live.co.uk.

Sailhaven in Seaford Have you ever wished that you could go out sailing on a beautiful yacht on a beautiful day and leave your worries behind? Sailhaven is a Seaford-based non-profit organisation who could just make this happen. Who are we? We are a small group of volunteers working towards the restoration of a 28-foot-long magnificent Mahogany built Cheverton Crusader from 1961. Once restored, Naima will be a community asset to bring yacht sailing to the local residents of all ages. We want to introduce our local youth to sailing and we are collaborating with Seahaven Maritime Academy, which has already been providing free basic seamanship training for under 18s. Naima has been with us for nearly a year now and work has progressed well. In order to continue with this endeavour and ensure that our project comes to fruition by next summer, we need more community support. We are very thankful to our current volunteers and sponsors, who have allowed us to get this far: Teddy Treats, Chalk Cliff Trust, The House Project and the Newhaven Chamber of Commerce to name a few. Are you a community orientated local company? Our sails are big and could bear your name and logo.

Are you interested in discovering the blue world beyond the jetties and experiencing the sea with your family and friends? Can you spare a few hours on a Friday to help us with sanding, painting, varnishing or, for the more experienced, replacing a few planks? Do you wish to sponsor us? Please visit our website www.sailhaven.org, send us an email at sailhavenproject@gmail.com or follow us on facebook at Sailhaven Project. We look forward to hearing from you. The Sailhaven Team

Scam Awareness Don’t be a victim of a scam

Seaford Rotary and their Business Partners are pleased to reproduce monthly extracts from the Little Book of Big scams originally compiled by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, and made available by the Metropolitan and Sussex Police. These extracts should be seen as a general guide to many scams currently operating in the UK and have been included in Seaford Scene to increase your awareness of these scams and show you some easy steps that you can take to protect yourselves and others. Scams target people of all ages, backgrounds and income levels. One of the best ways to fight the scammers is to take steps to prevent yourself from being caught out in the first place. Do not be embarrassed to report a scam. Because the scammers are cunning and clever there is no shame in being deceived. By reporting you will make it more difficult for the scammers to deceive others. If you want to stay on top of scams and up to date about crime prevention advice, visit Sussex Police web site where you can learn of current information on different types of scam new scam stories, alerts and advice.

Banking and payment card scams

Card scams involve the use of stolen or counterfeit cards to make direct purchases or cash withdrawals or the use of stolen card details to buy items over the phone or via the Internet.

What you should know Phone

• Your bank and the police will NEVER ring you

you receive a call like this put

Sponsored by Seaford the phone down. Rotary and their THIS IS A SCAM! • If you receive a call from your Business Partners

and tell you to verify your PIN, withdraw your cash, purchase high value goods or that they are coming to your home to collect these items, so never hand it over to anyone who comes to collect it. Should

bank or the police, verify who the person is before handing over any personal details. You can do this by calling your bank (the number on the back of your card) or the police (101) on a DIFFERENT phone line. This can be a mobile phone or a phone owned by your family, friends or a neighbour. If no other phone is available, wait AT LEAST 5 minutes to ensure your line is clear to make the phone call. This is because currently, scammers are able to keep phone lines open. Whilst you think you are making a new phone call; the line is still open to the scammer who pretends to be a different person from your bank or the police. • Depending on who you bank with, the security questions asked by the bank may vary (e.g. the last 4 digits of your account number or digits of your password) but your bank will NEVER ask you to authorise anything by entering your PIN into the telephone.

ATM – Cash Machines

• NEVER share your PIN with anyone. • If there is

anything unusual about the cash machine or there are signs of tampering, do not use it and report it to the bank as soon as possible. • Cover your PIN. Stand close to the machine and always use your free hand and body to shield the keypad as you enter your PIN to prevent any prying eyes or hidden cameras seeing your PIN. • Do not get distracted. Be particularly cautious if ‘well-meaning’ strangers try to distract you or offer to help you and most importantly, discreetly put your money and card away before leaving the cash machine.

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

• Fraudsters sometimes fit devices to cash machines

that trap your card, which they then retrieve as soon as you have left the area. • If the machine for any reason retains your card, report it to your card company immediately, ideally using your mobile phone while you are still in front of the machine. Make sure you have your card company’s 24-hour contact number stored in your mobile phone. • If you spot anything unusual about the cash machine, or there are signs of tampering, do not use it. Report it to the bank concerned immediately. you have completed a transaction put your • Once Rychlinski Flyer:Layout 8 3/11/14 10:59 Page 1 money and card away before leaving the cash machine.

inner wheel club Activities for the 2019/2020 Inner Wheel Club of Seaford are in full swing with an attractive programme for their coming year. At the August meeting Immediate Past President Kay Young was presented with her President’s bar by President Moira Quinnell. Kay also received a card, flowers, a thank you balloon and a gift card for a pamper session on behalf of all the members to acknowledge all she had achieved in her year as President. Rosemary Carlisle held a very successful afternoon tea at her home for Save the Children. Besides a fabulous amount of money being raised, members enjoyed a scrumptious tea and the opportunity to purchase plants and cakes. A very pleasant afternoon tea was held at the end of the month at the home of Maureen Edgar. Funds were raised by selling jewellery, cards and other handicrafts, which were created by the Crafty Ladies section of Inner Wheel, in addition to members making donations in appreciation of the consumption of delicious cakes. Events planned for September include a visit by the District Chairman to the monthly meeting, an interclub skittles match with the Inner Wheel Club of Horsham and a lunch at a member’s home in support of Sightsavers. Members are also looking forward to a visit to the Amberley Heritage Museum, near Arundel. During the year members are looking forward to other occasions when they will be meeting other Inner Wheel members at the various District Meetings and the National Conference in Belfast in April 2020.

Graham Moore, Treasurer for Seaford & Bishopstone Neighbourhood Watch Graham has lived in Seaford since 2016 and has been a member of Seaford & Bishopstone Neighbourhood Watch Association for two years. He is also a Project Manager for the Sussex Archaeological Society (SAS). He was an army officer for 34 years, serving in the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers and deployed to Germany, Cyprus, Oman, Jordan, the Falklands, Canada, and Afghanistan, and then he worked as a Project Manager in Industry before working for Sussex Archaeological Society. He is also a Captain in the Army Cadets and a member of the Lewes-based Sussex Military History Society. Graham was educated at Thomas Bennett School in Crawley, then the Army’s establishments at Welbeck College, Sandhurst, Shrivenham and Camberley. He is married to Sarah, and has twin sons and a pet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Toby. What do you most enjoy about your roles? For NHW – Providing a service to the community, knowing that we are a major contributor to our relatively low-crime area. For the SAS – I enjoy looking after historic sites for posterity and for the enjoyment of the visiting public.The oldest ‘real estate’ I look after are the mosaic floors at the Fishbourne Roman Palace dating from the 1st Century, which makes the Lewes Castle (built from 1068) and the Michelham Priory (founded in 1229) seem quite modern! What are your hobbies and interests? Military history, visiting historical sites, museums and galleries, reading, following politics and current affairs, walking in the country, travel, cinema-going and occasionally roller blading. What is your favourite piece of music? The Ride of the Valkyries – Richard Wagner What book are you reading at the moment? A book about Roman Britain, a birthday present from my sons. What is your idea of perfect happiness? Having a lovely barbecue with family, hopefully with a really nice view or sunset.

What is your favourite film? Battle of Britain What has been your most embarrassing moment? Turning up at the wrong airport. When in the army, I once went to RAF Gutersloh instead of Hanover civil airport for a flight back to the UK. I opted to wait 4 hours for an alternative flight in the back of a very noisy Hercules (earplugs were supplied and used) which landed me at Lyneham (in the middle of nowhere) in the early hours of a very cold morning. Which living person do you most admire? Rory Stewart – at 46 he has achieved so much. What makes you sad? Seeing and hearing about homelessness, and child poverty and abuse. What words or phrases do you most overuse? ‘OK’. and ‘Great’. How do you relax? Read a book in the summerhouse, enjoy a glass of wine, have a walk with Sarah and Toby. What is the most important lesson life has taught you? To be more accepting of different points of views and lifestyles, more sympathetic to those with all sorts of difficulties and to listen more carefully to people. What is the first line of your favourite poem? ‘If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you’ from If by Rudyard Kipling. What is your favourite journey? The journey out of Belfast around the North Antrim coast, taking in some amazing scenery including the Giant’s Causeway. How would you spend a million pounds? Buy a slightly bigger house in Seaford, change my 7-year-old car, treat Sarah to a long, exotic holiday, help the boys with their housing needs and give money to family and charities. What is your most memorable learning experience? Discussing our respective lives with Prince Henri of Luxembourg, who was in my Sandhurst platoon. What keeps you awake at night? The prospect of not being able to pay the bills. What is your greatest extravagance? Buying a (second-hand) Tag Heur classic watch. What is your greatest fear? Falling from a height into deep water in the dark. What is your favourite smell? Lavender. What is the best advice you have ever been given? Remember that success at work and often in life is generally down to the 3Cs – Competence, Confidence and Charisma. What would your motto be? ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’. Which person in history would you most like to meet? Lawrence of Arabia. What or who is the greatest love in your life? My family!

seaford rotary Competitions for young people

One of the big Rotary successes over the last few years has been the growth of the competitions run for our young citizens and this year is no exception. First off is the Young Chefs event for students at Seaford Head School which will take place on16th. November. Alongside this are the competitions for Young Artists with a closing date of 23rd November and Young Photographers for which the closing date will be in January 2020. Both are open to all age groups for students who live in Seaford, attend school in Seaford, or belong to another organisation based in Seaford. The ever-popular Young Musicians competition will be in March 2020 with a minimum age of eleven to enter and this will be the tenth occasion for this event. But the club is not neglecting our younger citizens and will be repeating its Young Writers competition which is organised through our Primary Schools, and a second Young Scientist competition is planned following the successful pilot earlier this year. And if that is not enough, the possibility of a Debating competition will also be explored. All the competitions will be advertised on a wide basis and full organising details of all the events will be on the Seaford Rotary website at www.seafordrotary.org.uk.

Seahaven Para Games 2019

Seaford Rotary was again one of the sponsors of the eighth annual Seahaven Para Games on 11th August 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, and this year attracted a record 50 participants, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed the day. Dignitaries who attended included the Mayor of Seaford Nazish Adil, Mayor of Newhaven Graham Amy, the Deputy Mayor of Peacehaven and Keith Ross, President of Seaford Rotary. The morning session started off in the Sports Hall with Seated Volleyball run by Albion in the Community, Special Olympic Sports, Sensory Circuits run by Defiant Sports and Wheelchair Basketball run by

Sussex Bears, Alongside this, in the Studio, was Boccia and, a bit later, Table Cricket run by Sussex Cricket Foundation. After lunch, kindly provided by Sainsburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, there was a Handcycling Presentation given by Rob Groves, with the opportunity for participants to have a go for themselves and there was also Kurling run by Seaford Kurlers in the Sports Hall. There was Table Tennis in Sutton Hall and, outside, Cycling without Age were giving rides in a Trishaw. Later in the Studio there was an Exercise to Music class attended by many of the participants. What a wide range of activities! In all the years that the Para Games have been held it was hard to recall so much activity going on. The only disappointment was that, due to the large numbers, the Wheelchair Slalom couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take place. To close the day, Seaford Town Crier Peter White announced the closing ceremony, in his own inimitable way. Liz Allsobrook of Wave Leisure thanked all the people who had made the day such a success, and certificates and medals were presented to all the participants by disabled adventurer Rob Groves with President Keith Ross and Paul Vaesen, both from Seaford Rotary. The participants then, rather wearily, made their way home. But what a fantastic day! Photo: Seahaven Para Games 2019 Seaford Scene is a completely independent small business.

Marigold

The birth flower for October is the marigold, traditionally symbolising despair and grief over a loved one, but with its vibrant colours of yellow and orange it shines in the garden during summer and autumn. Known also as calendula, this flower is a popular addition in borders and vegetable plots but only lasts one season. The flowers emit a smell which deters mosquitos, aphids and whiteflies, so it’s good to grow alongside tomatoes for example. Sow marigold seeds from early spring through summer, they germinate easily and will sprout within days, producing blooms in about 8 weeks. What could be better to fill that empty space in the garden and bring that riot of colour through summer to autumn?

what

utumn is here once again with winter coming anytime soon – time to look back and review what went right and what was not so good in the garden this year. Some weeks of summer weather were hot and dry, with very little rainfall, but somehow gardens survived and flourished. However this is the time now to prepare the garden for next year. A good start is to collect leaves that have fallen from trees in the garden, rake them up with a garden fork, put into plastic sacks and if very dry add some water, tie the top of the bag remembering then to make air holes in the bag. Place the bags in a corner of the garden and forget about them for several months. When finally you look in the bags again there will be lovely dark crumbly compost for use in the spring garden! There are several uses – dig in to improve soil structure, spread on the surface as mulch and worms will work their magic for you, or use as part of your potting mix for new plants. Most deciduous tree leaves can be used for leaf mould, a couple to avoid are walnut and eucalyptus, thicker leaves such as horse chestnut take longer to break

JOBS TO DO IN OCTOBER

3Any bare soil left after harvesting crops

can be sown with green manure such as winter beans or grazing rye, the soil will be protected during winter and when dug in during spring will provide nourishment for next year’s crops. 3Gather fallen leaves, put in to plastic sacks, add water, pierce a few holes in the bags, tie the top. 3Place ‘pot feet’ or stones under containers to ensure drainage, otherwise compost can be become waterlogged during winter rains.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD This month’s social evening is booked for Thursday 31st October at 7pm with guest speaker Tony Harris. His website gives us his credentials, recording him as a professional comedian, raconteur and actor, along with specialising in historical talks with an hysterical twist. I am sure he will delight with his talk to us entitled ‘Costumed Talk – Henry VIII. The website also says ‘His aim is to trick people into learning by making them laugh, but every point is historically accurate’. We won’t be disappointed! There is a competition too – An Autumn Bouquet – come along and enjoy what could be a fascinating evening.

For a brief moment it was like being in an episode of Gardener’s World. There we all were, sheltering from the storm, hands warming around mugs of steaming tea and coffee, when Ann ventured that she was doing a trial. She had spent the first part of the morning potting up tree echiums and reported that she was using bought – in compost in some pots and a mix of purchased compost and our own in others. Compost man Stan has been filling bags with the mix so that we can judge its plant growth potential over the coming year for various types of plant. But to return to the tea and coffee for a mo, well, you can’t have liquid refreshment without a generous slice of delicious cake to wash it down with, so thanks once again to Steph who seized on the opportunity of Jan and Pam’s birthdays to make a super-special one. Meanwhile Steph and husband Ron are readying themselves for a sponsored walk to raise money for St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Eastbourne (https:// www.justgiving.com/ stwilfridshospice). As you read this, Saturday opening will be taking place for the last time this year on 28th September, but it has been a great year for produce, with a tomato glut to beat all gluts. In fact the tomato vines have been so prolific that tea break resulted in a group decision to plant a few less toms next year and to replace them with cucumbers. In another success story, your Community Garden contributed to the £9,153 raised at this summer’s Macmillan Garden Trail locally, and the garden will be taking part again next year, on 25th July, so put it in your diaries.

During the summer we hosted a children’s group whose young members enjoyed themselves so much that their organisers have asked if they can return next year. Of course they can! Very sadly one of our liveliest volunteers, John, died on 10th August. His wife, Viv, recalled that the love of his life was rugby. He played as a hooker and later on became an international referee. He had a long military career, after which he trained to be a mathematics teacher and taught the subject for several years. A keen horseman and cross-country rider, he commissioned riding groups around the world and particularly supported Riding for the Disabled. As a great lover of music, he specially liked madrigals and country music, and was also keen on amateur dramatics both on and off the stage. He always became involved in his local community and, with Viv, came to Seaford about 12 years ago where they discovered the Community Garden. In the past year John became Secretary of the Green Haven eco group on which he used to report to us. As Viv said: ‘He lived life to the full.’ How he would have laughed to see Katie, who is on the short side of tall, gamely trying to reach pears that weren’t going to ripen on the tree, only to see lanky James reach up to show her how easy it was if only you had those extra inches. We miss you, John.

seaford afternoon flower club Our meeting this month will be held on Thursday 17th October when we will be welcoming the talented Linda Knapman will be there to demonstrate ‘Even More Fabulous Flowers’. We are certain that this will be a most entertaining and informative afternoon. Our competition is entitled ‘A Dried Arrangement’ and we are expecting the usual excellent display from our members. In August the club held a workshop based on a theme entitled ‘Gorgeous Gerberas’. Members were provided with information on how to create two different designs using these delightful and keenly priced flowers which are readily available nearly all year in our supermarkets. Looking ahead, on 21st November we look forward to greeting Nina Tucknott who will be demonstrating ‘Wood U Believe It?’ What an intriguing title! 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 the year are £29 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.

charity garden party Success As most of you know our garden party this year was number15 and our final one. It was an amazing success; after a drizzly start early a.m., the weather picked up and proved to be just perfect for the occasion. For once the iPad had the prediction correct. It was all systems go doing the final bits of preparation round the garden. I thought we were up to date on Saturday night but how wrong I was with loads to do in the morning plus an extra marquee to erect just in case the weather turned nasty. By 11.30am we were all ready, everyone in situ, and it didn’t take long for the visitors to arrive. It is estimated that we had nearly 400 through the gate, our best ever attendance. All our stalls did amazingly well, raising more money than ever before, our cake stall like a French patisserie, with so many donated lovely cakes and preserves. One of our beneficiaries, the Children with Cancer Fund, excelled themselves with supplying cakes which were of course all sold. Our plant stall under the supervision of James, Val and Charles took record amounts selling the much admired sweet peas which so many people queued for. Our tombola sold out completely quite amazing – and the bric-a-brac stall looked sadly depleted at the end, of course we only had posh stuff!! Our fabulous raffle of hampers and first prize voucher for Diella’s raised record sums. As with all these events there are too many people to thank personally for helping on the stalls. It is a real team effort form the beginning to the end. I can’t let this event pass without mention of our musical entertainment, firstly the Seaford Head School Band, again amazing, professional and inspirational. Our thanks go to Dave Faulkner, Head of Music, and the students for playing for us; we shall miss you next year. Secondly, Seaford Silver Band who have supported us over the last 14 years (they weren’t at our very first garden party); so many people look forward to an afternoon of lively music with the odd singalong. We shall miss them too and I know they will miss coming. They very

aptly finished their performance with Olde Lang Syne and Sussex by the Sea. Thank you again for all your loyal support. As the weeks now pass by and the mammoth task of clearing up continues and the money continues to trickle in, I am pleased to report that the fantastic sum of over £6,000 has been raised which has been distributed to the following good causes. Mary’s Meals, a global feeding programme where children are provided with a daily meal in a place of education. Our contribution will go to the school that the Friends Of Seaford sponsor which provides a daily meal for over 200 children, costing just £13.90 per head for a whole year. Additional funds will be required later to meet our target. Our second beneficiary is the Local Children with Cancer Fund based in Polegate. They provide little treats and necessities to children with cancer who live locally including Seaford, Eastbourne and nearby. These little treats enable the children to fulfill their dreams and hopes. Some smaller charities also supported this year were Seaford Head School Music Department, Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford Lions, and TS Defiance Sea Cadets. It is of course an end of the garden party era for us and what a great time it has been, from small beginnings raising just a few hundred pounds to our greatest sum ever this year of £6,000. It has been a privilege to have been able to distribute over the years the grand sum of over £46,000 to good causes locally and internationally. People ask me if this really is our last garden party. It certainly is, having now disposed of the marquee, chairs etc, but watch this space as come 2020 we hope to do something on a smaller scale. Finally our thanks to all those people who have contributed in any way, the generosity of local traders, family and friends and of course the people of Seaford who turn up each year with smiling faces and lots of money to spend. Until the next time. Pippa and Michael Logan Photos: Jan Jones selling bric-a-brac, the garden at 31 Sutton Ave.

Another recordbreaking year for Gardener Geoff 12 months ago, when Geoff’s 92-year-old Mum fell ill and had to move in with him and his partner permanently, he decided to reduce his garden openings in 2019 to allow them more time to care for her. Openings reduced from 14 public days in 2018, including the Artwave Festival, down to just 5 public days this season. Coupled with this he anticipated a significant reduction in his charity fundraising totals too! Little did he realise how wrong he would be. The grand total of monies raised through Geoff ’s various activities for 2018 were £19,444 and this season, an amazing £18,210. Geoff tells us ‘the main reason for this was the vastly increased number of visitors who came to view Driftwood by arrangement, generating almost £4,000 for Macmillan along with the best ever result for the Macmillan Coastal Garden Trail back in July, which raised £9,163 for the charity.’ This has meant the combined charity fundraising for Macmillan in 2019, including a grand raffle of artist donated prizes, is the most ever at £13,708. Geoff organised a presentation to Megan Gower, Area Fundraising Manager for Macmillan in his garden on 22nd August, along with some of the

volunteers and garden owners who helped raise the money. This achievement has meant the grand total Geoff ’s Driftwood Fundraising Group has handed over to Macmillan since 2012 is a staggering £80,193, all of which has gone towards the build and upkeep of the Macmillan Horizon Centre in Brighton. Geoff confirmed that his garden’s amazing feedback on the renowned travel web site, Trip Advisor, had led to the significant increase in private visitor numbers. Holidaymakers in Sussex look for things to do and Driftwood is usually at the top of the heap, with over 100 five-star reviews. Geoff went on to say: ‘Through the continued generosity of garden visitors, trail garden owners, artists donating their work to raffle, plus the many volunteers and amazing sponsors of the two trails, Pomegranate in Seaford and Richard Jackson’s Garden, we have raised a staggering £132,789 for various charities in recent years! My sincere thanks to all!’ The grand raffle of the £900-worth of prizes was drawn on the 22nd too, by Megan, and all prize winners have been notified and are arranging collection of their winnings! The garden is now closed until next year but all Driftwood’s 2020 open dates and the date of the Macmillan Garden Trail are already on the website www.driftwoodbysea.co.uk.

Out and about in October What lives in leaf litter?

If you are scuffing through leaves in a wood this autumn, spare a thought for the animals and plants living in the ecosystem below your feet. There are millions of them – from microscopic organisms, like fungi, bacteria and single-cell plants, to larger invertebrates you can see and identify. Slugs, snails, earthworms, millipedes, mites, springtails, woodlice, ants, beetles and fly larvae all feed on dead leaves. And they are themselves hunted by carnivorous beetles, centipedes, spiders and harvestmen (daddy long legs). To complete the food chain, these invertebrates are in turn eaten by larger carnivores, like birds, lizards, weasels, badgers and foxes. Many of the invertebrates living in leaf litter are decomposers, as are most of the fungi. As well as feeding on dead leaves, some also eat the droppings and dead bodies of animals and other waste plant and animal material. This material contains nutrients which feed the invertebrates. The fragments left are then easier for microscopic worms, fungi and bacteria to feed on and break down even more, releasing nutrients into the soil. If you look closely at leaf litter only the top layer is identifiable as leaves. As the decomposers do their work, they gradually convert the leaves and other material into a more compact rotting and fermenting layer and finally, into humus – the dark brown or black remains of plants and animals which have completely rotted down. If the decomposers did not exist, nothing would rot down and we would drown in undecomposed plant and animal material! Gardeners create their own versions of this ecosystem when they collect leaves to create leaf mould – and garden leaf piles provide an ideal opportunity to explore the wide variety of invertebrates living in this environment. The Young People’s Trust for the Environment website at https://ypte.org.uk/factsheets/ minibeasts/ has lots more information on invertebrates or ‘minibeasts’ and describes how best to have look at what is living in a leaf heap without disturbing it too much.

The course was flat, out and back, starting near the end of the promenade, towards splash point. From there the runners ran the length of the promenade before following the cycle path up to the main road and along through the nature reserve, with a turnaround point nearly at Newhaven. Existing members of the club came along to act as marshals and pacers. Liz Corcoran and Steve Humphreys fought it out, but the race was declared a dead heat with them both crossing the line in 57:52, with everyone who took part receiving a medal to mark the occasion.

seaford kurlers

Our weekly kurling meetings have been very successful and very well attended. We also get visits from ex members who have moved away from this area. It is so nice to see them and know that they wish to see old friends and play the sport again.

Goodness, it is the last quarter of the year! Bringer of beautiful golden Autumnal colours. Also the harbinger of Winter. Winter, is also very beautiful but it does sometimes bring with it some unwelcome icy roads that can be treacherous. Seaford Kurlers are hoping for a beautiful Autumn day for Halloween as we are booked to go to Rye market. We will be going with Lynns Travel. They are a very good travel company to go on day trips with. October is a very busy month for us because we hold our Annual General Meeting in October. This is when we elect the committee members and other positions that form the whole committee.

We are always pleased to welcome new members to the club. New Age Kurling is a sport that you may not know about. If you are curious then come along to Wave Leisure Centre in Seaford. It is a sport that you can take part in whatever your level of ability.

After that event we will be looking forward to the Annual Christmas Lunch. This is always well attended. We also have had the Paragames at Wave Leisure. This yeasr it was on 11th August and was very good always very much appreciated by the participants.

We are there every Tuesday from 2pm until 4pm. We have a refreshment break about half way. Our annual membership is ÂŁ5 and weekly subs are ÂŁ2.50. Contact myself, June Wood, Secretary, on 01323 895376 or email sally1989@tiscali.co.uk. June Wood

“The sound of the singing bowl touches the deepest part of us and makes the soul resonate. The sound promotes relaxation, mobilises self healing and can release our creative energy.” Peter Hess In August we had some wonderful sound journeys in the Pilates Studio (Paignton House - Warwick Road). Thank you so much for this opportunity to Karen Hall. The participants of the sound journeys were really surprised by the effects of the sound and vibrations of the wonderful singing bowls. After a short time, they experienced very deep relaxation. That’s why we decided to continue with the sound journeys in the “Soundfeelings” sound room in Bishopstone. Regular sound journeys: Tuesday 6pm and Wednesday 6pm £12 each person and journey (one hour)

Cycling Without Age – Seaford Chapter

Where we are now

As Cycling Without Age – Seaford Chapter approaches our first anniversary we couldn’t be happier with the progress we have made. We have supplied just over 200 free rides to more than 300 people, the most senior being 102 years old. This has enabled many isolated individuals to get out into their local environment, interact with their community and relieve the monotony of being stuck indoors. The feel of the wind in their hair, sun on their face and the scent of the sea in their nostrils brings people alive in dramatic fashion. We have trained a number of volunteer pilots and currently have fifteen very active individuals and a number more who provide ad hoc service when they can. Ten of these have become dedicated to specific residential care homes in the area, providing regular outings to the residents. We always need more

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

volunteers as there is some natural wastage when volunteers’ circumstances change and they can no longer commit time to the service. The more pilots, the more rides can be delivered to the isolated community in Seaford. There is no minimum time commitment, just as and when the pilots have a few hours to spare. For insurance purposes pilots must be over 18 years old. The trishaws have electric motor assistance so there is no need to be an athlete. The oldest known pilot is 87 years old! Volunteers can make contact via our Facebook page (Cycling Without Age – Seaford Chapter) or by texting 07596 734170 (phone is not constantly monitored). Currently we cannot take on any new care settings until we have more volunteers who can commit to becoming dedicated to a setting, but we can usually find space for individuals from their own homes. It is generally helpful if a carer or family member can deliver them to the seafront and collect them at the end. As the trishaws can carry two people you will be able to accompany them on the ride (particularly important if they have any form of dementia). As autumn approaches we will be trying to cram in as many rides as we can before the bad weather arrives but will still make sporadic sorties through winter where possible (as we did last year). If you see us out and about please say hello, our passengers crave that social interaction and it is proven to be vital in combating loneliness and the mental health issues that can result. In closing we would like to thank everyone who has been involved in our success in our first year. Our fantastic volunteers, our donors, Cycle Seahaven and Mr Cycles bike shop.

newhaven, peacehaven & Seaford Lions Club

including contributing towards the construction of the newly opened skate park in Seaford.

October is a very important month for NP&S Lions, as we are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the granting of our Charter. The International Association of Lions Clubs is the largest service organisation in the world. Founded in 1917 in America, the first British club was started in Charing Cross in London in 1950, and clubs were formed in other parts of the country, including Brighton and Tonbridge later that same year. Since then Lions Clubs have grown and now there are over 1.4million members worldwide in 190 geographical areas, 714 districts and 44,000 individual clubs. Having so many clubs around the world enables us to distribute funds rapidly to areas facing disasters such as earthquakes and floods, and ensures the money reaches the people it is intended to help very quickly. Just recently we have held collections outside supermarkets for Haiti and Indonesia. Fifty years ago, the first recorded meeting of the Newhaven, Peacehaven & Seaford Lions Club was held in the Sheffield Arms Hotel in Newhaven, and since then we have held numerous fund-raising events. We have organised Donkey Derbies in Peacehaven and Seaford, helped to organise the Seaford Half Marathon, run refreshment stalls, sold doughnuts and popcorn at local fetes and events, held car boot sales, and book sales at Paradise Park, and manned our Santa sleigh round Peacehaven during December each year. The money raised is used to support our local community, and donations have been made recently to the Down’s 60+ Club, to Peacehaven Medical Centre for specialist equipment, local foodbanks, and the Young Mayor’s defibrillation scheme. Other grants have been awarded to over 40 individuals and organisations in the last year,

Our two minibuses are in constant use. They are both equipped with tail lifts, especially useful for the elderly and for people with disabilities. We can often provide drivers, or you can use your own driver, subject to insurance and licence checks. For more information, or to make a booking, please contact Dirk on 01323 898961 or by e-mail: arcadian_dirk@hotmail.com. We are expecting a new minibus which will hopefully arrive in time for our ‘Autumn Tints’ trip this month. We lay on an outing through the countryside for our more senior passengers. After an opportunity to admire the changing colours of the trees, we arrive at Bodle Street Green where the local WI have kindly provided afternoon tea for us all for many years. Our President, Lion David Hemming has dedicated his year to bridging differences, connecting people and embracing diversity to maintain a club fit for the future. If you would like to help keep the Lions serving for the next fifty years, please join us.

the probus club of seaford

For our August meeting members received a presentation by Peter Gwilliam on the work of Seaford Lifeguards. The Lifeguards are a charitable organisation, entirely funded by donations and staffed by volunteers. The main aims of the group are to keep Seaford Bay free from danger, to prevent loss of life through drowning, and to assist members of the public in having an enjoyable time with their various activities. Lifeguards provide a visible presence though the flags they fly on the seafront, with the red and yellow flag indicating the area patrolled when safe to be in the sea. The red flag indicates that sea conditions are such that it is not safe to be in the water. The black and white flag indicates the area safe for watercraft, and this area should be avoided by swimmers and paddle craft. When the windsock is flying that is to warn of an off-shore wind

In order to cover the whole length of Seaford Bay the Lifeguards have the use of Quad-bikes, and for sea rescues they have recently upgraded their fleet with specially designed inflatables imported (at vast expense!) from New Zealand. These new boats are superior to their predecessors, in that they penetrate heavy waves better, and can be ‘beached’ at speed without damage to their bows. Peter explained that although Seaford Lifeguards are totally independent, they work closely with the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, the Coastguard, Coast Watch and other statutory emergency services. They have also recently added a ‘Flood Rescue’ aspect to their operation, whereby they could be called upon to assist with inland flooding events, anywhere in the country. Training was a key part of their activity, both for their own volunteers, and, more recently, for volunteers and staff from other organisations. The ‘National Life-Saving Academy’ is the training arm of Seaford Lifeguards, and has national recognition. Our members thanked Peter for his presentation, and indicated their appreciation of the great contribution the Lifeguards make to all aspects of beach safety. Our Summer Barbeque, held through the kindness of Pat and Derek Budd, was a great success. Some 30 members enjoyed perfect weather, the odd spot of drink, and a seemingly never-ending succession of sausages and burgers created by Grill Master Budd. Future activities planned for the club include skittles at the Bowling Club.

indicating great danger to users of inflatables, with the potential to be blown out to sea.

Our club meets on the second Tuesday of each month, at 12 noon for 12.45 pm, at Seaford Golf Club, 111Firle Road BN25 2JD. New members are always welcome. Ring our Membership Secretary on 01323 899300 for details.

Neighbourhood Watch Roundup And that, as they say, was summer – and what a glorious and hot season we had. As winter approaches and sunsets draw in far earlier than we would like, now is the time to make sure your property is well secured. Winter brings opportunity for miscreants to help themselves to the contents of garages and sheds, often without us noticing anything is missing until we are ready to pull out our bicycles and mowers next Summer, and realise they aren’t where we left them. The best advice is from Metropolitan Police Services with their top tips for keeping your garden and outbuildings secured to reduce the risk of theft. l Keep a low front boundary; keep hedges and walls at the front of your house low (under one metre) so burglars have nowhere to hide. l Secure your side gates and keep side gates locked at all times. Open gates mean burglars can easily access your home without being seen by passers-by or neighbours. l Keep hedges, walls and fences around your back garden high (over 1.8 metres). Add lightweight trellis to gates and fences and plant some prickly plants to make it harder for burglars to climb over. l Gravel driveways and paths make it harder for burglars to go undetected. l Install an outside security light so that intruders can’t approach without being seen. l Consider a shed and garage alarm, especially if you store high-value items in these buildings. l Always keep your shed locked and secured. Often sheds contain valuables such as power tools and bicycles. l Consider changing padlocks for a closed shackle padlock which is difficult to break with a bolt cutter or saw because they only have a small section of the shackle unprotected. l Never leave tools lying around as they can be used as a way of breaking into your home. Scams are still rife, and it feels like an assault from every angle. If you answer your phone to an electronic voice, hang up. If you are advised HMRC, TV Licencing or a

Bailiff is after you by phone, hang up. If you get an email that has dubious spelling and threatens a collection, or worse, offers a refund of any description, delete it. BT and any other telecommunications providers cannot detect viruses on your router – routers cannot have viruses – just hang up. Any email threatening you, report immediately to Actionfraud. The best rule of thumb today is to be sceptical about any unsolicited email, phone call or doorstep caller. Always check the credentials of any caller, but where a caller is uninvited, do not engage. Distraction burglaries are on the rise and often someone distracting you at the front door has an accomplice at the back door rifling through your personal belongings. Just point to your no cold calling notice and do not open the door. Visit Operation Signature for valuable advice and information on avoiding scams and scam crime: https:// www.sussex.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/ wsi/watch-schemes-initiatives/os/operation-signature/ On that note, please join us at the Seaford Rotary Club Scam Awareness Workshop at the Clinton Centre at 10.30am on the 3rd October where NatWest Bank will be presenting a workshop on scams and financial crimes to help us avoid becoming victims to financial fraud. The workshop is free, and all are welcome. Light refreshments will be served. Remember, if you feel threatened at all, be it a doorstep caller, an email threat, a phone call threat, contact the Police immediately and report the matter.Your safety is paramount, and the call centre operators will triage the call accordingly. A physical threat to your person is always a 999 call. Despite all the shenanigans, Seaford and Bishopstone remain one of the safest areas in the country. To see details about crime in Seaford, visit https://www.police. uk/sussex/ES2NH27/.You can search for your postcode too to see how your street compares to others. So, keep being great neighbours and use the Police reporting tools effectively. An emergency is always 999.

Seahaven Hard of Hearing Club

and other former members and friends attended the afternoon. We were entertained by Pamela Marsh who sang us through the ’50s and ’60s. All in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable celebratory tea. We have a new Club Chair, Jayne Marshall, and we welcome her enthusiasm to help us to be able to continue doing what we do. Primarily this is to offer a friendly once a month ‘meet up’, to support the hearing impaired, predominantly senior ladies and gents, of our local area (including Newhaven and Peacehaven) and making available a lip reading course at a very reasonable cost. New members are always welcome.

On Friday 6th September our club celebrated its 60th Anniversary with afternoon tea. We were very honoured to have two very distinguished guests attend: David Allam, Deputy Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex and Seaford Mayor, Nazish Adil. Their presence at our humble but none-the-less remarkable occasion, was very much appreciated by our members and we thank them for taking the time to come along. Former club organiser for many years, Brian Carter, joined us

For more information, please call Pauline on 01323 895216. Come join us! Local assisted transport may be available at a very small cost.

Seaford School Heads for Racing Glory We were approached earlier this summer by a very impressive student called Ben who was representing Seaford Head School. He eloquently told us about a project he was part of called the Greenpower Team, which sees the school competing to become world champions in Formula 24 racing. Formula 24 racing sees teams design, build, fund and race electric cars. The competition. Ben told us, was a great way to learn about Science, Technology, Engineering and

We were so impressed by Ben and his pitch to us to become supporters of the Greenpower Team that we donated £250 and asked to see the car they’d built. The school’s assistant headteacher and STEM co-ordinator, Robert Handy, arranged a time when we could pop in. And once again we were very impressed by what we saw and learned. The team of students building the car were passionate and knowledgeable about their project. They came across as being confident, polite and determined to do well in a contest which

an exceptional amount of talent, potential and ambition among them. And we feel confident the Seaford Head Greenpower Team will do well. Other businesses wishing to support this fantastic project should contact Mr Handy at roberthandy@seafordhead.org. Thanks for reading,

Keeping quiet A gathering with the simple aim of keeping silence is meeting every week at St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford – and it is proving to be very popular. It began on a monthly basis but has become so alluring that it has now been changed to a weekly meeting, which anyone interested in enjoying a few minutes of calm reflection can share. It is not restricted solely to members of the church. The idea is to keep silence with others while seeking to clear and calm the thoughts and whispers that can so often get in the way of meditation. It is called ‘Breathing Space’ where you can try to clear their ordinary thinking by using a repeated chant in your head. Space and stillness begins to come, and that is already what some people gathering here have learned.

They meet as a group and sit in a semi-circle around a candle or display in the heart of the 13th-century church, itself a special place to encourage a thoughtful quiet. A circle also easily expands to include others. And the message for people new to the idea is that this kind of contemplation can gradually develop in time, particularly in the special atmosphere of this ancient church. Each session begins with a brief introduction and a short reading, when a bell rings to mark the beginning of the silence, which lasts about 30 minutes, when another bell is gently rung to signal the end. Such a session can appeal to people of all faiths or none who may enjoy the chance to have a time of silence in otherwise busy lives, a chance to try meditation in the company of other, like-minded people. The group meets every Monday at St Peter’s Church at 6pm.

Refill Seaford and Newhaven

Autumn Leaves

Now the weather has changed our thoughts are turning to the nights drawing in so it is essential to get out and about as much as we can to enjoy our beautiful environment. We get a lot of visitors to the town and so we were delighted to hear that Seaford Tourist Office and the one in Lewes have now joined the Refill scheme. A big thanks to Lewes District Council for the support (photo right).

In July we welcomed an amazing 2,000 plus new stations to the app, taking us to over 23,000 across the country in total so we are still growing! We also have a newly set up sister Refill scheme in Hailsham which is growing fast and Eastbourne has a Refill champion who is working hard there as well. Well done! Some more big chains have joined the Refill revolution like Asda Cafés and The Lounges, who between them launched over 500 new stations. We’re working with Sustain, to encourage local communities to increase accessibility to free tap water by: l committing to a target of 50 working public fountains; l mapping existing drinking fountains on the Refill app; l installing new public drinking fountains to reach the target. We know there are a couple of these already in Newhaven and Denton and now one at the Salts in Seaford (see page 118) and three more will be installed on Seaford Seafront. If you know of any more please let us know. There is a another very important development coming along too. Using the free Refill app you will soon be able to find out where to refill not just your water bottle, but also your coffee cup, lunch-box, groceries and even your cleaning products and toiletries. We’ll be launching a pilot for the scheme in Bristol and Oxford in September and then hope to roll out nationally in 2020.

Meanwhile we know that some of our local cafés will let you refill your own cup, and Scoop and Weigh and Seaford Health food shop do some refillables. Remember that around the world a million plastic bottles are bought every minute and this is still rising. Have you got the bottle to join the #refillrevolution? Finally, if you run or know of a business that wants to join the scheme do let us know or they can sign themselves up using the app or website. Please don’t forget you can download the Refill app here to get the location maps to find Refill points https://www.refill. org.uk/get-the-refill-app/ and also register your business and others if you have their permission. If you want a Chilly’s bottle you can buy one of these yourself which keep your drink hot or cold from refill. org.uk/buy-a-bottle/ and Chilly’s make a £10 donation to the Refill campaign. Find us on Facebook Refill Seaford and Newhaven as there is a group and a page to follow. Twitter @RefillSN. Instagram @refillsn.

Obesity – My Story I was totally out of my depth and completely confused at my first Overeaters Anonymous (OA) meeting. I had no idea that there was any addiction or compulsion to my eating. I’d never been in a 12-step Fellowship before and had no idea what it was all about. Nearly six years later I am still learning. Once upon a time I used to envy slim people who didn’t seem to have problems with eating. I soon learnt some of them weren’t eating. They were dealing with emotions by denying themselves food through anorexia and/or bulimia. I thought I ate to satisfy my hunger and soon learnt that I was eating to push down pain and emotions. I had to recognize what emotional triggers and food led me to the fridge door. Fat shaming was one of them. For example, I felt humiliated when some young lads shouted to my son ‘Your mum’s fat’. I went home and ate. When I couldn’t get clothes to fit, I went home and ate. When I was celebrating or sad, I ate. This cycle of eating led to addiction – the food I turned to for comfort always contained sugar. More addictive than heroin, I was told, almost the same chemical composition. My brain receptors craved the hit I got from sugar.

Like an alcoholic I got the shakes if I went two hours without eating sugar, I honestly thought I would die if I didn’t eat. Yet people thought they could comment and criticise me for it. I truly didn’t understand. Nor, I guess, did they. Then I read German psychology professor William Goldberg: ‘I have never seen a person grow or change in a constructive direction when motivated by guilt, shame and or hate.’ In joining OA I found love and acceptance. Over the weeks and months, I lost weight and kept it off. This programme is not an instant cure, it takes time and work. I had a lot of a help from a sponsor, sharing at meetings and best of all a Higher Power of my own understanding to help me in this programme filled with recovery.

Seaford Photographic Society The new season got underway in September with the usual welcome back meeting and the results of the summer competition. This popular light-hearted competition, also known as the ‘One Shot Challenge’ gives everybody a chance get to grips with a film camera, some possibly for the first time! There is a set theme – this year it was ‘Textures’. Everybody gets to take just one photo (actually it was two this year) then pass the camera on to the next person on the list. At the end of the summer the film is developed, scanned, and turned into a digital image. It is then projected onto a screen so club members can vote for their favourite. September also saw the first rounds of both the PDI and Print League competitions. The results of all these, together with some of the winning images, will be in next month’s Seaford Scene but, in the meantime, they should be available to see on our new website www.seafordps.org.

Saturday 19th - 26th October

In October we have a couple of informal competitions, which don’t count towards the season’s final scores. The first of these is a new one, a team competition for projected images, where we split into groups of five people. We also have the small print competition, judged by members, for prints with a maximum size of 7” x 5”. These are a great way for new members to start getting involved in competitions but without the external judges, which can be a bit daunting at first. Later in the month we have the second round of the Print League, judged by Andy Smith LRPS. Finally in October we have two of the year’s most popular print competitions, for Architecture and Black & White, judged by the excellent June Sharpe ARPS.

Solace is an interactive sound and video installation inspired by The Sussex Downs. It has been designed to get local families involved in more experimental art. Taking place over summer 2019 to spring 2020, it will invite audiences to ask questions about our relationship to open and urban space, wellbeing and digital authenticity. The work will be created by artists Karen Tilley and Kevin Grist, and inspired by digital content captured by local people. www. thecryptgallery.com/whats-on

The first of the season’s three external regional competitions, the Ross Cup, takes place in November. All of the 50 or so camera clubs affiliated to the KCPA (Kent County Photographic Association) are eligible to enter, with each club submitting 8 prints. Last year we were 21st, not too bad for a small club and hopefully we will be entering again this year. More details next month.

Seaford Photographic Society regular club meetings are held every Friday between September and the end of May at Seaford Constitutional Club, Crouch Lane, Seaford, BN25 1PU. Doors open at 7pm for a 7.45pm start. There is a bar where club members can socialise during the break. New website: www.seafordps.org.

Give an assistance dog the best start in life Volunteers are needed to offer the best start in life to a puppy training to be an assistance dog for charity Canine Partners.

Canine Partners trains amazing assistance dogs to transform the lives of people with disabilities, boosting their confidence and independence. The dogs are taught a range of everyday tasks including picking up and fetching items, opening doors and dressing a person. They can even help to load and unload a washing machine, and they can fetch help in an emergency.

Puppies-in-training live in the volunteerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home from around eight-weeks-old until they are ready to start advanced training when they are between 12 and 14 months, at the Southern Training Centre near Midhurst or the Midlands Training Centre in Leicestershire. Canine Partnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expert trainers are on hand to support puppy parents, as training involves home visits, one-to-ones, town visits and puppy classes in order to socialise the puppy and get them used to all situations they may need to be in as a fully trained canine partner. To become a puppy parent in one of Canine Partnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 13 puppy satellites across the country including Seaford area, you need to be aged 18 or over, work less than full-time and be willing to make a long term commitment of at least 14 months.

seaford U3A News October. The name conjures up different ideas, only some of which we look forward to – winter coming, summer finally gone, sparkling crisp blue-sky mornings if we’re lucky, wet gloomy mornings if we’re not. For U3A members it conjures up a new pastime. This October a new walking group is getting going, using Seaford seafront and beyond. Members will start at the Sailing Club and the fitter ones will do a good-paced walk along the front and maybe even up Seaford Head, while the less fit ones will take it more steadily and do a shorter, easier walk. All walkers can then conveniently repair to the Sailing Club for some refreshments to get some energy back! The monthly coffee morning is on 16th October at the Constitutional Club, Crouch Lane Seaford between 10am and 12 noon. This is open to non-members as well as members and is your chance to meet and

Clock Restoration Service

socialize with members in relaxed surroundings. The very reasonable cost is only £2 for coffee and nibbles. If when you are there you would like to know more about the U3A ask to speak to one of the committee members who can fill you in on that and introduce you to others. The interest groups are one of the ways in which the U3A fulfils its joint aims of education and social contact. The majority take place in members’ houses and are quite small groups of perhaps 6 to 8 people. The participants have to sign up for them beforehand and there is a small course fee. In these small groups you don’t need to worry about being a beginner. There is something for everyone. One of the newest groups which is full of beginners is a Ukelele Band – how exciting is that?! Members also have the opportunity to go to monthly talks, outings, pub lunches and other occasional social events during the year. The U3A in Seaford is quite active and a lot of those who join do so for the chance to meet other people. The delights of Seaford attract people from elsewhere and the U3A can be particularly welcome for new arrivals as well as those who feel they ’don’t get out much’. Although the educational side is important, you can do as much or as little of that as you wish. Seaford U3A is part of the Sussex U3A Network (SUN) which extends the interest by providing study days which are open to both members and nonmembers (non-members pay a few pounds more). On 12th October there is a study day relatively nearby at Ringmer with the title of ‘the Role of Place in Myth, Legend and Storytelling’, which sounds attractive.

New Water Refill Station Installed A new water bottle refill station has now been installed at The Salts Skatepark. This was installed by Staples & Son Seaford, in line with the new skatepark project, funded by a grant from Sports England as well as donations from Newhaven, Peacehaven & Seaford Lions Club and through Section 106 funds. As a plastic-free community, this will be a positive step to encourage people to refill bottles rather than purchasing single-use plastic, which has a huge impact on our environment. The Mayor of Seaford, Councillor Nazish Adil said: ‘It is great to see the water bottle refill station fitted at the skate park. Many kids and their parents will be relaxed as the kids can now keep 12:55 hydrated and healthy whilst enjoying their outdoor activities at The Salts. Reusable water bottles can have a huge and long-term positive impact on the environment. Water refill stations are an easy way to start making a difference. Everyone, old and young, can benefit from the facility. Seaford Town Council has provided us all with access to a necessity more than a facility. We must use it with care and take responsibility of protecting the same.’ Alongside this, the Town Council has also recently fitted general waste and recycling bins at the Skatepark with a mission to keep the area clean and encourage people using the Skatepark to take responsibility for litter. This is the first of four water refill stations that Seaford Town Council plans to install, with the other three to be installed along the promenade. The Town Council’s restaurant, The View at Seaford Head, also offers free water refills to visitors there. Photo: New water refill station at the Salts Skatepark.

Seaford Museum Special Service at St Peter’s Church celebrates 50 A special service will be held in November years in 2020! that invites people to remember loved ones

Next year, 2020, sees the Museum’s Golden Anniversary and it’s full steam ahead with preparations for celebrations! Volunteers have very kindly started to make new bunting – something which has been badly needed for some time as some of you may have noticed!

No one can quite remember when the existing ones were made – they remember the labour of love which they were, but not when they spent weeks and weeks making them! They have done sterling service despite the winds’ best efforts to destroy them. Over the coming months we will be busy making all sorts of displays to commemorate our journey through the past 50 years. In the meantime, we would be delighted to welcome your children/grandchildren to our half term event. Bring them down on Wednesday 30th October for a fun and creative morning...and we are going to be open all day Saturday in October too. Come along and see us! Seaford Museum is located on the seafront in the ancient Seaford Martello Tower.

who have died. It will be at St Peter’s Church, in Belgrave Road, Seaford, on Friday 1st November which is All Souls’ Day. It starts at 7pm, and everyone is invited. The names of those whose funerals have been held at the church this year will be read out during the service, and the names of others can also be read as well if their names are included in a list at the church. These should be added a couple of weeks before. This will be a quiet service of Holy Communion, with prayers, music and a time of silence for people to remember those who have departed. All are invited, and if you do not take Communion you are invited to come and receive a blessing. Celebrating All Souls’ Day is an ancient Christian tradition which dates back to the 10th century, and is a day for remembering not only family and friends, but also all who have died. Two days later, on Sunday 3rd November, the preacher at the 9.30am service at St Peter’s will be the Bishop of Lewes, the Right Reverend Richard Jackson. He has just been appointed the next Bishop of Hereford, a role he will take up in the New Year.

Maximise your time together Visiting a friend or relative in a care home provides you with some precious, uninterrupted quality time together. Nial Joyce of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford gives his advice on how to make the most of every visit.

1. Plan your visit: It is often a good idea to speak to the care team and ask them to recommend the best time of day to visit. If you can, call ahead so you can be prepared for whatever mood your friend or relative is in that day. Be prepared to be flexible and set aside as much time as possible.

2. Bring memories with you: If it has been a while since your last visit you may find it useful to bring something with you to spark conversation or help unlock memories. A picture album is a fantastic way of remembering happy times.

3. Plan an activity: Even if mobility is an issue, there are still plenty of things you can do together. For a change of scene, you may want to spend time in the garden or on the seafront. Alternatively, bring a game, jigsaw puzzle or DVD of a favourite film you have enjoyed together in the past.

4. Join in with our activities: At Clifden House we run a range of individual and group activities to stimulate our residents’ engagement with the world around them. Visitors are encouraged to join in and enjoy these activities together.

nutritious, home-cooked meals and we are happy to accommodate specific dietary needs.

6. Bring someone with you: Is there a friend or neighbour that the resident used to see regularly but who now struggles to keep in touch? Offer to bring them with you. Or get them to record a video message on your phone so that you can share this with the resident – and then record their reply!

7. Keep trying: Although conversations may not always be possible, you will both gain great comfort by simply being together. Try to enjoy the time you have together while you can and cherish the memories you have. Clifden House delivers highly qualified and personal dementia care to suit the needs of each resident. Our aim is to facilitate each person to continue to live a fulfilling and active life, with privacy, dignity and
