NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE YOUR FINANCES The start of a new year is the perfect time to get your finances in order.

A few simple changes could improve your finances in 2021 and beyond, setting you up for a healthier financial future. So, whether your finances are in a muddle or you just want to ‘do better’, here are five new year’s resolutions worth sticking to.

Create a spending budget: Creating a budget is a useful exercise whatever stage you’re at in life. And you may be surprised at how easily you’re able to save extra money each month.

If your expenses are greater than your income, check if there’s anything you could cut back on. We’re not suggesting you scrap all of your little luxuries.

However, there may be lots of things you’re spending money on that you don’t actually need. Consider adopting the ’50-30-20’ budgeting philosophy where essential expenses comprise half your budget, other expenses make up 30%, and the remaining 20% goes towards savings or paying off debt.

Pay off expensive debt: If you’ve racked debt, the new year could be a great time to start tackling it.

The higher the interest rate, the more the debt will cost you. This could include credit card and store card debts, unauthorised overdrafts, and payday loans. Paying off your debts could enable you to save more money for your future, improve your credit score, and reduce financial worries.

to save for your future. It’s never too late to start preparing for your future. However, the earlier you start investing, the better your chances are of living the retirement you desire.

Invest in a Stocks and Shares ISA: Investing in a Stocks and Shares ISA has several benefits. Your money grows free of Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax, and you can withdraw money whenever you like without paying tax.

You can pay up to £20,000 into ISAs in the 2020/21 tax year. Keep in mind that when investing, your capital is at risk. You should invest with a minimum five-year timeframe in mind.

Make a will: Making a will is an essential financial exercise, yet research suggests 57% of UK adults don’t have a will in place.

If you die without a will, it could cause immense stress and financial hardship for your family. In a worst-case scenario, your loved ones could inherit nothing and become embroiled in bitter disputes. Writing a will can give you the peace of mind that your loved ones will be protected long after you’ve gone.

If you want advice on getting your finances in order, we can help. From helping you create a financial plan to organising your pensions and other assets, we’ll ensure your new year is off to a flying start.

Shoreham Cricket resurrected in 2020 Let me set the scene, I’m in the Waterside on my birthday (December 2019). After having a Cricket net with a few friends at the county ground in Hove.

We’ve got the beers in and there are no masks, social distancing or the slightest inkling of what’s to hit us in 2020!

Continuing the evening, we monopolised the pool table while the Albion vs Palace game was on TV.

Talk turned to how good it felt to whack a few balls on a wet Friday night in Hove and how we’d all like to play a bit more cricket.

‘Well chaps, I may have a solution to that’!

I said.

Sussex were looking for cricket teams to enter a modern midweek competition.

The Sussex Slam! Everyone nodded their approval and as we chatted about the idea, talk turned to what we’d call ourselves.

I blurted out the first thing that popped into my head, Shoreham Swingers!

Not expecting it to go any further than a slight giggle!YES Bandy, perfect, all agreed, as I choked on a mouthful of San Miguel! Within day’s, we’d paid the entry fee, set up a WhatsApp group and convinced any dormant or virgin players we knew to join!

The Sussex Slam organiser hit our logo brief out of the park once they’d stopped laughing! ore net sessions at Steyning Leisure Centre followed.And we were building up a decent group of athletes (ha!) when lockdown ‘the first innings’ began!

It was all over, or so we all thought!But during the lockdown, we won our first award.

In the Twitter Battle of the Logo’s, which Inside Shoreham & Southwick January 2021

Our first win at Poynings

kept us all engaged.

The Cricket season arrived but Bozza was siting the ball, as a natural vector for the disease. While other sports ventured into their new normal.A sniff of hope came and finally, cricket was green-lighted for a return from its Covid-19 rain delay!!

We played our first Sunday game against Henfield CC on the other side of the downs.Narrowly beaten by a strong lineup.

Then onto our first Sussex Slam match at Wish Park in Hove against the Portslade Pirates.Now, the Slam is cunning in its makeup. It’s designed for speed, with no faffing about.There’s not much travelling involved either as you’re grouped against the closest teams.

Yes, it’s T20 but there are corners lopped off so you can squeeze in a few beers after the games.The shortened season was a success and we played at a really good level in all but one of our games.

After the final matches, enthusiasm amongst the Swingers hasn’t waned. Before lockdown 2 (the second innings) we were practising in groups of 6 up at Henfield Leisure Centre.

Music blaring and plenty of tip and run to keep the fitness gains from the summer. cont/d page 10

10 With any luck, we’ll get these going again in December.

The banter on the WhatsApp group is still going strong and I dread to think how many messages have been sent on it (I’ve asked myself a few times if a group admin can mute themselves!!).

It’s been a busy month for the Swingers, securing not one but two shirt sponsors, which I’ll come back to.We held off getting kit in the summer so we all looked a bit raggle-taggle with a variety of old whites.

The Slam organisers set us up with a kit supplier based in Pakistan.

And they’ve designed a fabulous looking kit for us.Calcutta 16 have sponsored the front of our playing shirts. Which considering the pressure hospitality has been under, is remarkable in itself!

sponsor the back of the shirt and one of the sleeves too!

One of our newest players works for LJ and has indicated that they’re also happy to supply a player of the week award.

Should make for some interesting after match social media posts!

You can keep up to date with all our news on our Facebook page, Twitter feed and Instagram. Search for Shoreham Swingers CRICKET!!

In October the Adur Cluster of Cricket Clubs, Pubs and Wandering sides formed.

The goal is to get Buckingham Park facilities up to muster.

First game a Henfield CC

We’re grateful and so glad we can partner and promote a local business in these difficult times.

Our second sponsor fits our team name and humour to a tee.Another local business but eCommerce this time.

Again, we’re grateful that LovingJoy.co.uk (give them a search!) have agreed to

So that Adur clubs can host neighbouring teams in Shoreham-by-Sea. Please get in touch if you can help us realise this goal in any small or big way.

We’ve bought the domain name and should have a site up and running before the 2021 season begins.

You can also check our official results on https://shorehamswingers.play-cricket.com/ It’s been the shining light of the year for me and all the players.

With regular news of male suicide rates increasing and mental health affecting families.

This adventure looks set fare to keep our wellbeing secure into 2021 and beyond.

Happy new year.

It feels good to put 2020 behind us and look forward to a brighter 2021. In this month’s Inside Volunteering, we hope to inspire you to consider volunteering as your new year resolution. i’I’m Carole Claridge, the Volunteering Adviser for Worthing & Adur and a volunteer myself. If you’d like to know more about volunteering, get in touch. I’d love to help you get started.

Don’t give up, give back!

January marks the beginning of a new year, a fresh start when many of us, with all good intentions, resolve to give up bad habits and become a fitter, healthier, kinder version of ourselves. New year, new me!

But why do new year resolutions need to be about giving something up? Instead of giving up, give back and add volunteering to your list of resolutions for 2021.

Five reasons why volunteering should be on your new year resolutions list You can make a difference. 2020 was a tough year for many people in our community. By getting involved in local projects such as food banks, befriending charities, and mutual aid groups, you can make a genuine, positive difference to the lonely and vulnerable members of the community.

You can tie volunteering in with other resolutions. Have you resolved to be more active? You could offer your time as a gardener or help with children’s sports programmes. If your goal is to become a better cook, ramp up your skills at a lunch club or homeless shelter. Or maybe Inside Shoreham & Southwick January 2021

your new year resolution is to meet more people. Volunteering can help you reach that goal too.

Anyone can volunteer. There is not a ‘typical’ volunteer. Volunteers can be of any age, any gender, any race, or religion.

Volunteers come from all walks of life.

A volunteer role for YOU. Whatever you’re interested in, there’s a volunteer role out there for you.

There are roles which get you out and about, roles in one place and roles you can do from home. You could be a pair of hands in someone’s garden, a friendly face for an elderly person on their own, repair wheelchairs, drive a minibus, support a family, listen to a child read, teach people to sew. The opportunities are endless!

Volunteers can also help support projects, clubs, and charities by sharing skills such as fundraising, marketing, finance, admin, and recruitment.

A sense of achievement. At the end of the year, instead of looking back with guilt at unfulfilled goals (that unused gym membership, running shoes, diet cookbook!) you can reflect proudly on your achievements.

Now you’ve added volunteering to the top of your new year resolutions list, how do you go about finding a suitable role? Here are some points to consider that will help narrow down the choices. When you’re ready, get in touch with Community Works – we’d love to help.

cont/d page 14

14 What causes do you care about? Are you concerned about the impact of the pandemic on older people? Are you passionate about tackling climate change?

Do you feel strongly about opportunities for young people?

What kind of things do you enjoy doing?

Are you someone that likes meeting people, or would you prefer to volunteer on your own? Do you enjoy being outdoors?

Are you computer savvy or good with your hands?

What can you offer? Perhaps you want to use the skills you’ve developed in your working life. Do you have a hobby which you could share with others? Or maybe you just want to share your life experience.

How much time can you give and when are you free? We suggest you start in a small way. You can always offer more time if the experience is going well. Most charities and community groups are flexible so you can fit your volunteering around your other commitments.

How far can you travel? There are volunteering opportunities in every community, so you don’t need to travel far from home if you don’t want to - although the wider you cast your net, the more choice you will have. Many charities will reimburse reasonable travel expenses when you volunteer so you don’t need to be out of pocket.

Lieutenant General Sir George Fredering Gorringe,KCB, KCMG,DSO In 1838 a cargo ship full of barley became stuck on a sand bar at Newhaven harbour. This influenced the decision of the Vallance, Catt & Co brewery based in West Street, Brighton, to build a Malthouse near to Shoreham Harbour, to cut their transport costs for raw ingredients and fuel.

George Gorringe was born on the 10th of February 1868 in Kingston-by-Sea.

The London Gazette reported that on the 17th of February 1888, he graduated from the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, having received a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers.

He was promoted to Lieutenant on the 17th of February 1891 and was attached to the Egyptian Army on the 14th of January 1893. He first saw action in the Dongola expedition and was mentioned in dispatches, as reported by the London Gazette on the 3rd November 1896. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order, announced in the London Gazette on the 17th of November 1896.

Gorringe served as a staff officer in the Nile Expeditions then was promoted to Captain on the 17th February 1899. He was given the rank of Brevet-Major and command of an Irregular Sudanese Battalion during the final battle to defeat the Khalifa in November.

During the campaign Gorringe was repeatedly mentioned in dispatches and was promoted to Colonel on the 13th of March 1900. By then he was serving in

South Africa during the Boer War as staff officer. He was then placed in command of the Loyal Farmers’ Light Horse Colonial regiment on the 1st January 1901, undertaking many combat operations throughout the war.

Gorringe returned to serving in the Egyptian Army in 1901 and in 1906 came back to England to take up the post of Director of Movements and Quartering at the War Office. He was made Commander of the 8th Brigade, Northern Command on the 1st of April 1909, On the 6th of September 1911; Gorringe was promoted to become the youngest Major General in the British Army at 43 years of age. On the 1st May 1912 he arrived in India to take command of the Bombay Brigade.

During the First World War, from the 1st of April 1915 Gorringe commanded the 12th Division Indian Expeditionary Force in Mesopotamia. He had no artillery but despite this, the 12th Division broke the week-long heavy resistance of the Turkish Army and captured Nasiriyeh, In March 1916 while commanding the 3rd Indian cont/d page 16

Inside Shoreham & Southwick January 2021

16 Army Corps, Gorringe and his men made a courageous effort to breakthrough the Turkish lines and relieve the Siege of Kut. Gorringe was wounded in battle, shot in the backside and from his horse by a sniper as he charged into the action. However the breakthrough failed and the besieged General Townshend’s army was forced to surrender to the Turks.

On the 20th September 1916, Gorringe took command of the 47th (2nd London) Division of the Territorial Army in the trenches of France. He was nicknamed in cockney rhyming slang ‘Bloody Orange’ by the soldiers he commanded. In the battle of Messines Ridge in June 1917, the German lines were obliterated by exploding siege mines underneath them and the Division rushed through between St Eloi and Hill 60. The division then dug in and repulsed the German counter attack. After the war Gorringe returned to Egypt in 1919 as commander of the 10th Division.

Gorringe retired in 1924, a highly decorated officer and knight of the realm.

Throughout his military career, Gorringe had been a very down to earth, nononsense warrior with a rigid command style. He returned home to 700-acre family farm at Kingston by Sea, He managed the estate that he inherited upon death of his father in 1928. He lived in Kingston house and died on the 24th of October 1945 aged 77. He was buried in the family plot of St Julian’s churchyard. The land was sold for housing, Gorringe Close was built and Kingston house was turned into a school. Along with the church the area became part of Shoreham. Ashcroft House in Kingston Lane was owned by the Gorringe family and later became the home of comedian Max Miller. In 1956 it was purchased by the Central Electricity Generating Board for use as a training centre. Judy Upton

Join Team Fit Feb and Support Hospice Care Fit Feb is your chance to join hundreds of others and kickstart 2021 in a positive way whilst raising money for local hospice, St Barnabas House.

Whether you take part alone or challenge a friend or family member, all you have to do is an hour of physical or mental activity a day throughout February 2021, and get sponsored for doing it.

You can choose any challenge you like, and you can mix it up throughout the month. So, whether you jive, juggle, or jog … row, ride, or rollerblade ... scoot, skateboard or space hop, there’s something for everyone.

Or, if you’d rather focus on your mental fitness, you could meditate for an hour each morning, get lost in a book for an hour before bed, or give up an hour’s TV and tackle a giant jigsaw for a month instead.

How will you be making a difference?

However you decide to complete your hour each day, you can feel good knowing that as well as looking after yourself, the money you raise will help ensure local people with terminal illnesses are cared for by St Barnabas House throughout their journey.

Wendy Bardsley, Fundraising Manager at St Barnabas House, says, “After the rollercoaster that was 2020, there’s never been a more important time to look after our physical and mental health. And by doing so, you can be there for St Barnabas too.

Inside Shoreham & Southwick January 2021

“Raise £35 and you could provide a patient with one hour of physiotherapy; raise £50 and you could pay for two hours’ care for a patient staying on the hospice ward; raise £120 and you could provide three hours of counselling for a bereaved family member.”

Registration is just £5 and all challengers will receive a free St Barnabas t-shirt to wear while completing their challenge. Visit www.stbh.org.uk/fit-feb to join Team Fit Feb today.

Observation and Anticipation I would like to start by wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Let’s be honest, 2021 can’t possibly be a bad as its predecessor !

Many people enjoy taking photographs.

Some obsess about cameras, thinking that the better the camera, the better their pictures will be. Wrong ! The camera is a tool, a means to a end and plays no part in creativity, that is down to the photographer.

The photographer chooses what to point the camera at and when to press the shutter and those decisions create the image. Good decisions lead to good pictures.

It’s not the camera that is observant, it’s you, the photographer.Observation is a skill that can be honed if you practise.

Good seeing is a vital part of capturing an interesting scene or situation.

An enormous stage prop outside the opera arena in Verona was peering over the fence so I waited for a passer by to walk into the space to the right of the frame.

Two photography exhibitions presented the other two images to me. In each case I positioned myself where I felt a scene may arise.

This can be recognising good light or interesting cloud formations in a landscape,anticipating a developing situation in the street or responding to a spontaneous moment to snatch something out of the ordinary.

Of course, good observation could also refer to searching out insects and wildlife or recognising an interesting facial expression if you’re shooting portraits.

In fact, observation is key in most photographic genres.

If you can add anticipation to observation, you will take images that others will miss.

It allows you to create individual and original pictures. The images here were all achieved by observation as I anticipated developing situations and clicked the shutter at the critical point.

Inside Shoreham & Southwick January 2021

The woman walking into the frame from the right seemed to me to resemble the portrait on the wall. The curved mirror on the left appeared to be reflecting a sort of face to add another element to the scene.

The large photographed figure with the kicking leg just needed a little patience to wait for someone of the right height to stroll into the right position.

GDPR and the EU after Brexit still undecided According to the governments website data at present to remain the same. Businesses should check their procedures on handling of personal data GDPR remains in UK law and should be complied with after 1st January

Some uncertainty remains with businesses who deal with the EU on the provision relating to data after the end of the transition period on 31st December. The UK government stance is that GDPR is and will remain engrained in UK law during the transition period and into 2021.

The EU is conducting a data adequacy assessment of the UK and if the EU grants positive adequacy decisions by 1 January 2021, it would mean that personal data can flow freely as it does now, without any action by organisations. With only weeks to go, the EU has yet to decide as to whether they accept that the UK’s data protection regime is still adequate.

At this stage nothing much is changing, but it is essential - especially for small businesses that they ensure their data protection procedures, and data transferring are up to date and compliant.

For small businesses who have moved from a physical location to an ecommerce solution, they may not realise that some procedures when sharing customer data are not compliant with even UK data laws.

James Tilbury, Managing Director at leading IT support company, ILUX comments: “We have been following all updates from the UK government for our clients and have been waiting to see how the EU will respond with their opinions on our current data standards.

This will decide whether this will affect how we share data from 1st January 2021 and Inside Shoreham & Southwick January 2021

whether additional requirements will be put in place. But this is only for those who share data with EU countries. In the UK, things will not be changing and GDPR law remains ingrained in our data procedures.”

As well as sharing customer data, businesses need to make sure that their cyber security is up to date. Cyber threats are not exclusive to larger companies and a data breach can be costly for a small business.

James explains: Earlier this year our research with homeworkers highlighted that 1 in 10 home workers did not feel that they were GDPR compliant working from home. A quarter also said that they felt their systems were inadequate to do their job. Having the adequate cyber defence software and hardware is essential, but more importantly it needs to be regularly updated to ensure if protects against the most recent threats.

Employee training on best practice and familiarisation on the signs of an attack are also essential activities that should be undertaken on a regular basis. If a small business is unsure, it is always advisable to speak to a professional to understand the requirements of the business, and make sure this is communicated to all staff handling company equipment and information.”

Dancing into the new year Jenny Davys, osteopath at Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, suggests we shimmy into 2021 “New year, new start” has a particular meaning for all of us in 2021, as hope of an end to the pandemic seems in sight. “Strictly Come Dancing” may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the sight of Bill Bailey, a 55-year-old comedian with hardly a dancer’s physique, taking on the challenge, reminded us that it is possible to get that body moving, whatever your age or experience.

So, this year, why not get a little bit more dance into your life? Your body will thank you, as will your mind and sense of wellbeing – it is well-documented that dancing, as indeed any exercise, gets those endorphins flowing – the feel-good chemicals released by the body to help relieve pain and stress. It also improves circulation to muscles, ligaments and joints AND the brain.

Rather than think of dance as a difficult discipline (which of course it can be), think of it as “movement to music”. Try doing little knee bends to the beat of the music or sway from side to side in time with the rhythm, tap your feet or walk on the spot, roll your shoulders a few times, circle your arms – you don’t even have to stand up!

Remember to breathe as you move. If you really don’t feel like dancing, then sing along to the music as that will have similar benefits, exercising your lungs and improving oxygen flow.

It’s a perfect way to take those 2-minute breaks from work, just put on a track you like and “get jiggy with it”, as Will Smith would say.

Inside Shoreham & Southwick January 2021

Whether gentle, relaxing music to stretch and unwind to, or a Metallica track to shake your body up to, or some Glenn Miller to jive to, always be sure that what you are doing is SAFE (check there is enough room to move and that you have something to hold on to if you need support) and does not cause any pain.

If you have any musculoskeletal pain or issues with stress/anxiety, please get in touch with our team – we offer osteopathy, massage, psychological therapy, counselling and hypnotherapy at SOC. 01273 567654 www.shorehamosteo.co.uk

Quick response after vandalism at the Shoreham Memorial site Two members of the public have been thanked for helping Adur District Council officers respond to wanton vandalism at the Shoreham Memorial site.

Teams were alerted this morning after two benches were found ripped from their fixings and dumped in the River Adur.

Members of the Council’s maintenance team, together with two members of the public, managed to rescue the wooden seats from the mud bed.

They are now back on dry ground and will be fitted back into the ground later this week.

Photo: The two benches retrieved from the River Adur at the Shoreham Memorial site

Cllr Emma Evans, Adur District Council’s Executive Member for Environment, said:

“Such vandalism is not welcome in our district and so, if anyone has any information relating to this extremely unfortunate incident, please report it to local police on 101.”

“The memorial and surrounding area to the victims of the Shoreham Airshow disaster is much-loved and respected as a place of tranquility and calmness. That’s why I was so shocked and appalled to see the wanton damage to the benches which neighbour the site.

“Thanks to the speedy response of the Council’s maintenance team, along with the support of two very kind members of the public, the benches are now back in place. I’ve been assured that they will be fixed back to the ground in the coming days, which will hopefully avoid a repeat of this extremely unfortunate incident.

Extra tier two support for COVID-affected businesses now available Businesses, sole traders and organisations impacted by the COVID pandemic are being encouraged to apply for further financial support through Adur & Worthing Councils - with oneto-one advice on offer to those in need.

Almost £35 million in grants have been distributed to local employers and community groups by the Councils’ business support team since the first lockdown in March.

The government has now made further recurring grants available to businesses directly impacted by the new tier two guidance (on the GOV.UK website), such as

pubs, restaurants and nightclubs. This is in addition to funding for those forced to close by the national restrictions in November.

A range of non-COVID grants are also available locally.

To ensure vital support is provided to those in need, all businesses impacted by COVID - including those who have already received grants - are urged to review what funding they may be eligible for on our business support page (see link below).

Those with queries or in need of more detailed guidance are encouraged to contact the Councils directly so that a member of the team can provide one-to-one signposting.

The Councils will also continue to contact a range of businesses directly with specific details of available funding, especially those in the hospitality and leisure industry who have been impacted more than others by the current set of restrictions.

A Councils spokesman said: “Throughout the last ten months our business support teams have worked tirelessly to process and pay out millions of pounds worth of vital grants to local businesses and organisations.

“We know it’s been a really tough year and we want to make sure that those who need it are supported into the new year. But we also appreciate that applying for grants and working out eligibility takes time, time that business owners would much rather spend on keeping their organisations afloat.

“That’s why we are making a direct offer to those impacted to contact our team, so we can offer quick and easy-to-understand advice which we hope will make life a little easier for those businesses which are the

foundation of our local economy.”
