Interventions Alliance is an organisation that aims to be there for those people who might fall back into reoffending, and they need you to help them reach out in our community.
How does Interventions Alliance help? Interventions Alliance helps those at risk of offending or reoffending. This support is provided by volunteer mentors. Mentors act as positive role models, who inspire, empower, and guide participants to through an agreed action plan by offering personalised support and equipping participants with the skills to succeed. These interventions are about having an honest, open, and non-judgmental conversation with people to empower and help them make the decisions to change their life for the better.
How can I help? Interventions Alliance need volunteer mentors in and around the Worthing area. This is a challenging but rewarding role and needs someone who is committed to seeing the process through and delivering results.

The Science of Art at the National Gallery by Aaron Hunter Monday 14th February 2022
The incredible diversity of art within The National Gallery allows us to progress through the history of art in a relatively small space. It also gives us the opportunity to discover the science behind fine art. The lecture looks at the way in which scientific innovation has changed the way we create art, with reference among others, to Leonardo de Vinci, Titian, Turner, Stubbs and The Impressionists. The Steyning Centre, Fletchers Croft, BN44 3XZ 10:00am - 12:00. Free to members, £10 donation for visitors. steyning@theartssociety.org www.theartssocietysteyning.org.uk

SHOREHAM RUGBY U16’S, 39 – 22 HASTINGS U16’S
Shoreham Sunday 16th of January 2022 Shoreham Under 16’s SHOREHAM RFC 39 - HASTINGS 22 Shoreham’s under 16’s came through a stern test with a victory against a strong Hastings side, to leave them handily placed in the league. With covid absences and other injuries affecting their forwards the Shoreham coaches worried that this would play into the hands of Hastings’ strengths. These concerns proved unfounded and with 4 players employed out of their natural positions Shoreham started the game at a frantic pace.
Both sides traded 2 tries apiece before Shoreham scored a third to end the first half 15 - 10 to the good.. Shoreham had evidently learnt from their last outing against Eastbourne where mistakes and lapses in concentration allowed the opposition back into the game. They started the second half with clear intent to take the game to Hastings.
“What a great weekend of Rugby with two Senior home games on Saturday and two age group home games on Sunday both supported by great numbers enjoying our BBQ offering, thanks to all the volunteers for making this happen.
Shoreham time and again turned over their oppositions possession before releasing their backs to cut loose in the midfield. Cheered on by their passionate support Shoreham used the glorious conditions to run in 3 unanswered tries 2 of which were converted by kicker Thomas Kentell.
Hastings kept up the battering ram offensive with their strong set of forwards and were rewarded with 2 push over tries. Shoreham were remarkable in defence 3 times holding up the ball to prevent further scores before again turning over possession to release their backs. It was with some very quick hands and clever running lines that Shoreham finally put the game to bed with their 7th try of the game late into the second half.
“What a great community Shoreham is, said James Drummond-Davies, youth chair. If you would like to come down or require further information Please follow us @ … https://fb.me/ShorehamRFCYouth https://instagram.com/ShorehamRFCYouth https://twitter.com/ShorehamRFCYth
The final score of 39 -22 was a fair reflection of what was an enthralling contest. Shoreham’s next league fixture should be equally hard fought when they play away to a strong Crowborough side.

The Barn Theatre, Southwick Jessica Swale’s empowering and surprising story ˜Blue Stockings”, finds its way to the Barn Theatre, Southwick. The play is set in 1896 and is based on an
historical event when the female students of Girton College Cambridge campaigned to be awarded degrees in the same way as their male counterparts. The action of the play follows the struggles of four young women as they try to navigate the pitfalls of university life and break out of the restrictive and repressive roles women were given in late Victorian England. The young men view their presence with suspicion and see them as a challenge to male entitlement and supremacy. The stage is set for a monumental struggle. Directed by Harry Atkinson and presented by the Southwick Players. Dates:Wed March 9th 2022 - Sat 12th March 2022 Tickets £12 from www.southwickplayers.org. uk or by calling 0333 666 3366 The Barn Theatre, 24 Southwick Street, Southwick, BN42 4TE

THE MAJORITY OF DIVORCEES ARE OVERLOOKING PENSIONS AND IT COULD LEAVE THEM FINANCIALLY VULNERABLE Going through a divorce is difficult.

Greenfingers… the Alan Titchmarsh column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration. This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about his favourite things in the garden. I think if a cross-section of people are asked to name the thing in a garden that gives them joy and a feeling of admiration beyond anything
else, a good number will choose the rose. Think about it, is there anything else that offers such a breadth of colour, such a contradiction of beauty and danger (in the sense of a seductive flower and the prickly thorns that linger just a few inches down), or that offers a bouquet that has melted the hearts of a thousand romantics!
Okay, so yes, a rose sometimes can seem soand-so, perhaps because we embrace them so fully in our lives, and I accept there is something perhaps even a little cliched about the simple rose these days. However, I will be so bold as to say this - a garden without a fragrant rose isn’t much of a garden at all! For other times of the year, I will pick out certain things that give me incredible satisfaction. I look forward to these coming round, and their emergence is always very special. The first snowdrop in January; the first daffodil in February. These are the types of flowers that mark a change in or a progression of the season, and that always fills me with hope and expectation. You know these beautiful elements will always arrive, but still, it’s a relief when they do! I have also really taken a shine to the aubrieta in recent years. It’s that beautiful tumbling purple spray of miniaturecoloured flowers that will
Have a local editorial item? email:ang@insideshoreham.com
cascade off rocks, boulders and other inhospitable lumps in a way that bring them life and beauty. The flowers almost resemble little four-leaf clovers, and perhaps it’s that expression of happiness and love that makes this such a winner in every way. Finally, I would look to the sweet pea. They are just so versatile – sow individually in root trainers or in pots filled with seed compost, choose pretty much any colour across the spectrum, are perfect in borders, and you can even get the seeds in the ground in any range from November through to June. For me, they are the ultimate, and a great pleasure. Of course, tending to a garden is all about personal taste. These are some of my favourites, but I know reading this you may well feel I have it completely wrong. That’s the beauty of gardening – it’s a landscape that’s entirely yours to do entirely what you will with, and we will all agree that’s wonderful.

Erringham
It’s believed that a Saxon nobleman named Erra founded the agricultural village of Erringham on the steep, tree-lined sea cliffs of the Adur Estuary between Shoreham and Upper Beeding. In the time of King Edward the Confessor, Fredri governed the village. Its total value was five hides and forty shillings. In 1086 the survey for the Domesday Book of William the Conqueror listed Erringham as land held by William de Braose. Its value was at this time recorded as a half a hide and twenty shillings, with two villagers and five small holders, who it was quoted ‘who have nothing.’
The chapel was built during the 11th century but the village remained in the parish of St. Nicolas Church of Old Shoreham, a mile away. In the 12th and 13th centuries Erringham thrived and increased to rival Old Shoreham in population. The village was divided into three separate estates each with a manor house. In 1328, among the tenements of land known as Erringham-Braose, owned by Adam de Bavent, were sixty-four acres of arable land and a pasture for sheep. The yearly rent of one hundred and four shillings was split into two payments that were due on the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle and at the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. By a deed, dated London, the 1st of July 1344, Roger Bavent granted to King Edward III, his manor of ‘Iryngham’ and in 1351 it is referred to as being reserved for the uses of the King’s chamber.
In 1358 it was granted to Peter de Braose. Erringham is often referred to in public records as Iryngham. In his will dated the 6th of September 1541 John Cobye bequeathed to his wife, Isabel, forty pounds and the land to grow corn and keep sheep upon. Remembering the faithfulness
of one of his servants he directed that his executors ‘shall keep old Nyman during his lifetime.’ Master Richard Bellingham was an overseer of the will and the son of Edward of Newtimber, cousin to John Bellingham of Erringham.
John Bellingham’s family connection to the village was over a hundred years old and they had resided upon land known as Erringham-Walkstead since 1490.The land was named after Walter Walkstead and consisted of a manor house, a pigeon house, a garden, 200 acres of arable land, 40 acres of meadow, 100 acres of pasture, 100 acres of marsh, a windmill and a pasture for a 1,000 sheep in Old Shoreham and Beeding. There was also heath and brushwood called ‘Walsteedes’ (Named after Walkstead) in Old Shoreham. John Bellingham had purchased it in 1564 from Sir Thomas Shirley of Wiston, Sussex, the land named Erringham-Braose, because it was intermingled with his. This land was 50 acres of arable, 40 acres of pasture and 40 acres of heath and brushwood.
Geological changes to the Adur estuary, changes in farming types combined with an increase in land rent plus the effects of the plague, caused the village of Erringham to be abandoned. It became a single farm that was sold in 1650 to John Juxon. Then cont/d page 16

Erringham and in 1664 it was sold to Cecil Tufton, whose descendants, the Erringhams, remained until 1765.
The historian Sir William Burrell in his study of Sussex visited Erringham (Walkstead) House and its chapel in 1782. The east front of the house was comprised of flint and brick rubble and stone dressings dating back to the late 16th century. A wing that had extended out from the main building plus a double-storied porch, which had formed the main entrance, had both been demolished. The west side of the house retained features dating back to medieval times with its stonework still visible. A restoration of the house had taken place in 1710, evident by the date engraved in a Caen stone built into the externally projecting chimneybreast in the south face.
In 1787, Burrell commissioned Samuel Hieronymus Grimm, a Swiss landscape artist, to paint a watercolour picture of Erringham Chapel. What was still standing of it was the chancel of a much larger building with the nave foundations clearly visible. The two small windows in the north and south walls were of Norman architecture. This painting still exists today in the collection of the British Library.

Creature Comforts
Kate Humble, the presenter with an encyclopaedic knowledge of British wildlife, across Springwatch, Autumnwatch, Lambing Live and Animal Farm, discusses on the natural beauty all around us, and how protecting is something we all need to invest in. “I love and will always love going to other parts of the world for filming and spending time with wildlife, but let’s be honest, no-one ever gets bored of the British countryside, be that the rolling hills, a simple stream, or a blue tit. “I think the reason is that almost anybody – wherever they live – can look out of their window and see a beautiful animal in its natural habitat, and what has become very obvious over the years, across various programmes, is that people almost feel a sense of ownership over those creatures that we follow, and that they follow themselves at home. “And I think helping people love, respect and enjoy the countryside is more important now than ever before. After all, never before have there been so many restraints on or rivals to
people’s time. So while we hear a lot about protecting our wild spaces by not overrunning them with tourism, at the same time it’s really important to get people out there, both for their own mental health and so that they can contribute to the rural communities that, in turn, support smaller wildlife projects.”

WARRANTY
Just as not all used cars are the same you will realise that not all used car dealers are the same. Regardless of the car you buy, most independent ‘dealers’ will offer you a warranty which is not fit for purpose either because it is too short or it doesn’t cover important items on your car. Some ‘dealers’ may even try to dodge the warranty question all together! Here at Manor Car Sales we dare to be different and that is why we offer all of our cars for sale with our EXCLUSIVE 6 month MCS Warranty

Signs of Oysters at St. Mary’s St. Mary de Haura church has stood proud over the town and its people for over 900 years.
It has witnessed the changing economic fortunes over the ages, including the rise and fall of a large oyster industry. The surrounding graveyard, a much-loved space in the centre of town, contains signs from this important fishery. One of the most intriguing piece of evidence was an oyster shell found amongst the walls of the ruined nave. If you stand at the main entrance and look west you’ll see the remains in front of you. The oyster shell dates from the early Saxon/Norman period. It had been used by an artist and contained yellow ochre paint. Just like today when a teacher would use her lunch’s yoghurt pot to mix up paint in the classroom, we could imagine this medieval painter eating his oysters for lunch and then using the empty shell to mix up the yellow to illustrate some biblical scene on a wall painting.
A few metres north-east from the main door you can see the gravestone of George and Eliza Griggs. Both had been born in Brightlingsea, Essex, and had come to Shoreham in the 1840s. The railway to London had just been opened and the oyster smacks could land their deepsea oysters and send them quickly by train to the capital. Oysters were not a luxury food but were a part of the staple diet of the poor. The Essex smacksmen were specialists at dredging, and George Griggs was the master of an oyster smack. He soon branched out to become the town’s leading oyster merchant. When the government ordered a Parliamentary Commission on UK fisheries, George was one of people to give evidence. He was also commodore of the Shoreham Regatta. Unusual for Victorian times, when women’s economic role was very much subservient to the man of the household, wives of fishermen ran their families’ financial affairs, because the men were frequently absent. Eliza Griggs had a small shop called the Beehive Woolshop in North Street selling wool, fancy goods and textiles. Other wives were seamstresses or ran beer shops, pubs, grocery businesses. They contributed towards family income, essential when bad weather kept the fleet in harbour. When they had money in their pockets much of the fishermen’s
cash went directly into the local economy, including ribbons bought at Mrs Griggs’ shop and given to a local sweet-hearts, or their wives and daughters.
Also in the church yard is the grave of James Hedgethorn. Another master mariner from Essex, he gave evidence to the Commissioners in 1864. He was quite direct and told them that the dredgers were fishing at night, contrary to regulations. He predicted that overfishing was having a detrimental affect....”there are not so many oysters as there were on some of the beds when we first went to them. But you cannot expect it to be otherwise, as there have been no small oysters to take the place of the large ones which have been removed.” (J. Caird, Sea Fisheries Commission, 1863-65, House of Commons). The saddest grave from an oyster fisherman’s family is that of William(11) and Henry(9) Earthey. They were the middle sons of Samuel and Matilda Earthey both born in Little Clacton, Essex. They were also my great-great grandparents; the boys were my great-great uncles. They lived in St. Aubyn Street, Shoreham, and the boys went with a group of children to bathe in the river on a hot August day in 1878. Adults were first alerted to the tragedy when a man met some distressed children who were carry the poor lads clothing. They told him the Earthey boys were drowned and they were taking their clothes home to their mother. The younger Henry had slipped into a deep hole and his brother had tried to save him but he
had also drowned. Four hundred people attend the funeral and their mother fainted at the graveside. Tragedy struck the family again in 1889 when Samuel was lost on

St. Mary’s churchyard is now a haven of peace and quiet, used by many for a chat, to drink coffee or watch the squirrels. Even if you don’t attend the church services you can still become a Friend of St. Mary’s and help maintain this very special place. Some people have adopted a grave and have sought to find out about the history of the person resting there and connect with a piece of Shoreham’s past.

Introducing the Third Dimension
A happy New Year to you all. It may be grey outside but I thought, instead of writing about low light photography I would brighten the mood with saturated colour.
A photograph, either in print or on a screen, is two dimensional. It has length and breadth but photographers can introduce the illusion of a third dimension (depth) by composing pictures that have foreground, midground and background interest. person is looking directly at the posters so is very much involved in the scene. I often place single figures on the edge, walking out of the frame as I feel it introduces a little tension because a split second later, they would have disappeared from that moment in time.
Many landscapes are composed in this way. The classic being a foreground rock, mid ground lake perhaps with a lone tree and distant hills or mountains. Now, each to their own but those images are not to my taste. Many are captured in touristy places such as the Lake District by groups of photographers standing shoulder to shoulder snappingalmost identical scenes. I urge you to be a little more creative, choose locations and situations that haven’t been shot a million times or at least try to find a different angle when photographing in familiar places.
The second photograph was taken in Berlin.I have used the mundane maintenance hole covers as shapes to lead the eye into the picture to the unusual tones of the Museum wall. This makes the image almost abstract in design which would have been lost if I had included a figure. Whatever your taste, your preference, your style, take lots of photographs but try to also step out of your comfort zone once in a while, experiment and see where it takes you.
if you would like to be added to my mailing list for details of my workshops, please email me: steveboylephotos@gmail.com Steve Boyle ARPS
My two photographs here have interest (maybe a little mundane) from foreground to background. The street scene is from France. The white road graphic represents the landscape rock, the person represents the lone tree and the wall is my mountain range. There is also a colour connection as the portrait posters have been blue toned, the graffiti to the right has been scrawled with blue paint so I have been patient and waited for a figure dressed in blue to walk through the scene. There is also a visual link where the Have a local editorial item? email: insidemags@gmail.com

Are you looking after you? Sarah, Counsellor at Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, offers some thoughts on the benefits of looking after yourself and how this can help to make life feel more manageable. We can find ourselves feeling anxious or overwhelmed by what we need to do or haven’t done. This can often become the focus, leaving our own needs behind. Recognising that your time is precious, will allow you to be kinder to yourself and give yourself permission for things that you want to do. Regular breaks, getting outside, relaxing, and taking time out for hobbies and interests are all good ways to practise self-care. By being recharged, life can feel easier to manage, less stressed, calmer and we may sleep better and feel like we have more energy. Here are some small step suggestions to self-care:Give yourself time
manage your expectations of yourself. Can you create some new habits that help you look after you? If you feel you are struggling with managing self-care or feeling overwhelmed, please call or email Shoreham Osteopathy Centre on 01273 567654 info@shorehamosteo.co.uk to make an appointment with Sarah.
It does not have to be long, a break with a cuppa is good self-care. Making sure that you have regular breaks too is helpful. You could try to book out a part of a day or evening regularly to make sure you have the time you need to do something you want to.

Southwick Cricket Club Steeped in tradition since 1790 and now developing a sustainable cricket structure to meet the local participation needs.
Southwick Green has been the local focal point for cricket for many years and last season the club successfully completed the movement of our senior league teams to Buckingham Park. The move was necessary to meet cricket’s growing demand locally and the development of the sport to shorter forms of the game that requires more space. We have been joined at Buckingham Park by Shoreham Swingers CC who make use of the ground on Sundays and mid-week and it has been great to see the park being used once again for regular cricket. Southwick Green remains the clubs base where the area is ideal and safe to develop the growing number for juniors, boys and girls, keen to find out about the game and to be coached. The club also has a collaboration with Shoreham Academy and raised funds to build nets at the site a few years ago, this is now bearing fruit and many local children and adults make regular use of the facility. Last season the club took the lead to create a collaboration of all the local cricket clubs in Adur to centralise discussions with the council and other bodies to maximise the reach of funding and resource opportunities. This new venture was recognised by the ECB nationally with the group receiving a national award https://www.ecb.co.uk/ news/2255848 ) This was in recognition of some remarkable achievements. * Adults - Played 50+ games at Buckingham Park, plus matches at Lancing Manor Park and Southwick Green – Weekends and Evenings * All adult teams took part in the 20 over Sussex Slam and very positive results * Ran Allstars and Dynamos at Southwick Green for 5 to 11 yr olds– 100+ signed up * Four Junior teams at Southwick – U9, U10, U12 & U15 * Started a women’s team and entered and won softball competitions. * Duke of Wellington CC promoting local friendly cricket and charity events * Ran Get Active Coaching Sessions with Adur Council * New junior coaching sessions at Buckingham Park
Southwick CC and Adur Cricket Plans for the 2022 season looks exciting: * Development of the Buckingham Park site in collaboration with Shoreham Rugby and the council to enhance the dilapidated pavilion to make it an activity hub for the community. * Building a new astro surface at Buckingham Park for training and to expand junior’s participation and matches. * Our women’s team have been training all winter and this summer the plan is to enter a league and have matches against other local teams. * Expand the get active programme with the council to encourage inactive groups to exercise after the isolating impacts of the pandemic. Supporting a walking cricket programme at Southwick Leisure centre for the over 55s. * Increase the number of young adults playing cricket, either coming back to the sport or keen to try something new.
These have been remarkable achievements during difficult times and has really demonstrated the community value that can be achieved through cricket. This has all been realised with volunteers giving up their time and lending expertise. To be able to make 2022 as successful as last year we especially need local people who can help with the pitch at Buckingham Park, rolling, mowing, watering and marking out pitches and anyone who is keen to get involved in coaching junior players. Southwick cricket’s men’s adult teams are always keen to welcome new recruits, watch out for our social media updates when nets start and come along, it’s a friendly bunch. Our success has also been down to some loyal sponsors who we don’t take for granted and take every opportunity to promote their products and services thorough our network of almost 400 local club members. If you would like to sponsor Southwick Cricket Club’s activities or have any feedback please get in touch. info@southwickcc.co.uk 07971 281769

Published by Penguin on February 10th Small Island by Phillip Parker The shape and location of Britain’s landmass has not always been the same, with an identity that’s always been on the move. But, by knowing more about the 12 pivotal moments that occurred over a 2,000-year period, we can not only gain a full sense of our British history, but also an understanding of where we are heading, and that’s what Philip Parker reveals brilliantly across 12 defining maps.

Are You Man Enough?
The Henfield B-P Guild in conjunction with the charity PCaSO (Prostate Cancer Support Organisation) is offering FREE PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) testing on Saturday 2nd April at Henfield Village Hall, Coopers Way, BN5 9EQ.
This is for men aged between 45 and 80, It is being arranged to get as many men as possible to take up the offer of a free and totally confidential test. Hopefully the tests will not show up any problems, but it is vitally important that if a problem is present, it is identified and acted on as early as possible. This could make all the difference. If this is of interest, please go to the website: www.psatesting.org/ events select ‘Henfield’ and book an appointment time. For enquiries only phone 0845 650 2555 The testing will be conducted by trained phlebotomists taking blood from a vein in the arm which will be analysed at a laboratory and the result either posted or emailed to you. Results will also be available on the bookings website. 1 in every 2 men will have a health problem with their prostate at some stage of their lives. It could be an infection, enlargement or cancer. 1 in every 8
men will develop prostate cancer and those of African-Caribbean origin and those with a family history of the disease are 2 to 3 times more at risk. PSA stands for Prostate Specific Antigen. It is a simple blood test that measures the amount of antigen, produced by the prostate, entering the blood. It is not a direct test for cancer; a moderately raised reading can be an indicator of a prostate problem and a high reading should trigger further tests to determine if there is a need for any treatment. Without screening, around 50,000 men are diagnosed in the UK with prostate cancer each year. It is now the leading cancer found in men. Around 12,000 men die of this disease annually, one every 45 minutes. Caught in the early stages, cure rates are dramatically improved with over 80% success. General symptoms of problems with the prostate are frequent need to urinate especially at night; bursting to urinate, slow flow, difficult, painful; stop/ start and dribbling, or blood in the urine.

The Shoreham Churches Recycling Project
Much of our household waste can be recycled but not all of it can be accepted by the local council.
Many of you from across our community used to drop off such items at St Mary’s and we passed them on to Terracycle for further processing. Sadly, this scheme had to be suspended at the start of lockdown. The good news is that the scheme has restarted. However the bins are no longer in St Mary’s as they were inappropriate in a chapel dedicated to private prayer. Until we can identify a place of our own, we have accepted the offer from the Church of the Good Shepherd on Shoreham Beach to join their scheme and use their bins. These are just inside their church porch and clearly labelled. We are collecting: • Plastic milk bottle tops (all colours). (No small bottle tops, please) • Gloves (latex, vinyl, Marigold) • Plastic pens, toothpaste tubes and trigger sprays (Not the bottles themselves. These should go in your blue bin)
Are you a Friend of St Mary’s? it costs just £10 a year to support the ongoing maintenance and restoration of this beautiful building in the heart of Shoreham. Visit the Friends of St Mary’s to join today at www.stmarydehaura.org.uk
Please note, we are no longer accepting bread bags, food wrappers, crisp packets, pet food pouches etc as the larger Co-op and Tesco stores have started to accept these for recycling. We are also not taking coffee pods any more as these are no longer being accepted by our Terracycle contact in Lancing. (The simple answer of course is that we should be discouraging the use of these. Most pods contain not only plastic but virgin aluminium. There are many other cheaper, more environmentally friendly ways of making a cup of coffee) For those who have not been there before, the Church of the Good Shepherd is in Kings Walk, Shoreham Beach, BN43 5LF and open every day from 9am to 5pm.

After Gigi, the spring season continues with Bohemian Rhapsody on 21st March, and then Calamity Jane on 11th April. Look out for details of the May and June selections in the summer listings.
People living with memory loss or other similar ill health problems shouldn’t have to give up things they like doing due to inaccessible or unsupportive environments, and that includes the pleasure of visiting a cinema. The Relaxed and Friendly screenings offer them the opportunity of seeing specially chosen films in an environment which has been designed enhance their experience: • The auditorium lights remain on a half setting throughout the film. • The sound is quieter. • There’s a relaxed attitude to noise. • Audience members are free to move around if they want to. • The auditorium is laid out with tables and chairs, making access to seats very easy for those less mobile than others. Tea and biscuits (funded by the Shoreham and Southwick Rotary Club and private donations) are served. Trained volunteers are on hand if help is needed. There is wheelchair access throughout and disabled toilets are available. Ropetackle also provide earphones for the hard of hearing. These films will appeal to everyone who enjoys cinema - all are very welcome to come along. For all Relaxed and Friendly shows, doors open at 1:30 p.m. with the film due to
start at 2 p.m. Tickets are priced at £5 (carers free) and are available from the Ropetackle Box Office or on-line, with refreshments included. 2022 marks a relaunch of the Relaxed and Friendly initiative which began in June 2019 and was highly successful¦ but then Covid happened! Since the first lockdown, everyone has been keen to set the ball rolling again. Ropetackle Cinema won a prestigious award from the British Film Institute to put on the original nine Relaxed and Friendly films and it has now been awarded a grant for the current season from the McLay Dementia Trust who fund UK-based innovative projects which seek to improve quality of life for people with dementia and their carers, whether at home, in the community or in residential care. Their ethos fits perfectly with Ropetackle Cinema’s aims which include providing relief from the emotional and physical toll felt by people with dementia and also their carers, who often feel isolated by their situation. The latest Covid-19 policy can be found on the ropetackle.co.uk web site, currently including adherence to the Government’s ‘Plan B’ which means you must wear a face covering inside the Centre, except while eating/ drinking or if you have an exemption.
