thanks go to The Educational Group who arranged Millie’s visit.

Everyone at Vale School in Findon Valley has settled well in to the new term following their Christmas break. All year groups (from Early Years to Year 6) are starting their new themes with great enthusiasm.

There was much excitement last week when the school were visited by Millie, a rather friendly Tyrannosaurus Rex! Children in Early Years explored fossils and other prehistoric exhibits, then the children from Year 3 joined them to meet Millie in the school hall.

The staff were very impressed at how well behaved Millie was during her time in school and all the children were accounted for, following her visit! Many

Vale School have also hosted a Key Stage 1 New Age Kurling Competition - six other local schools joined Vale to participate and all the children who took part thoroughly enjoyed themselves and showed great team spirit. Well done to all the children and the Vale teams did well to secure 2nd and 3rd places!

Vale School will be hosting another New Age Kurling Competition for older year groups next week.. www.vale.w-sussex.sch.uk

What does your retirement look like?

By Ivan Lyons Director Investment Solutions, Worthing So you are in a workplace scheme. Job done? Not quite. Retirement may seem like a long way off but “life’s longest holiday” takes a bit of planning. After all, you want plenty of “spending money” to enjoy yourself and that “holiday break” could last longer than you think.

them. Please note that not all options are available under all plans and any contract with a guaranteed minimum pension or guaranteed annuity option carries restrictions. This information is based on our understanding of current taxation law and HMRC practise, which may change.

Would you welcome independent advice without obligation?

If it has been a little while since you reviewed your retirement planning – why not make a financial planning wealth check as one of your New Year’s resolutions? We look forward to hearing from you.

Life expectancy has improved dramatically in the last few decades and many people will now live much longer than you might have expected. According to the Office for National Statistics, a 65 year old man in the UK will live for an average of 18.5 years, whilst a woman of the same age can expect to live for 20.9 years*.

Living longer and healthier lives is great news, but it makes planning for your retirement ever more important. Luckily, preparing for the future can be a straightforward task and there’s lots of help available. To create a plan, start by asking yourself:  When

do I want to retire?  What income do I want?  Can I afford to retire?

Want to know your options?

Generally, you can start taking pension benefits when you are 55 (under certain circumstances you may be able to take them earlier) as:  A tax-free lump sum, normally up to 25%  Regular income with a drawdown pension;  Guaranteed regular income with an annuity or a

drawdown pension with a secure income feature, or

 A combination of these.

Alternatively, if you are some time away from retirement, you can wait and decide later. The key thing is that your savings are there for you when you need

It is an early intervention programme for young people who may be at risk of offending, exhibiting anti-social behaviour or not engaging in education between the ages of 13 – 17. The Challenge has recently been adapted for young people with Asperger’s where the focus is on social interaction, life skills and enjoying outdoor activity. Thus far the Trust has worked with young people who, because of their anxiety, have found it difficult to leave their homes, let alone travel to Wales on expedition.

The Trust has successfully supported these young people to do just that. For further details contact activities@lodgehill.org.uk or phone the Activities Manager on 01798 831411 (Ext: 233).

Council commits to weekly collections Weekly refuse collections are here to stay in Adur and Worthing - that’s the message from council leaders who have reconfirmed there will be no change in the service despite budgetary pressures. National figures show that more than three in four local authorities in England now collect household waste every fortnight as funding pressures bite.

But, following a question at Worthing’s Full Council, at the end of last year, leaders at both Adur District and Worthing Borough councils said they remain as committed as ever to regular refuse collections - which is why they recently invested £4.2 million in a state-ofthe-art refuse fleet. It comes after budget papers

Street clutter scheme a success Traders are being thanked for playing their part in helping improve access to one of the major shopping streets in Worthing town centre.

Worthing Borough Council began a pilot scheme in September aimed at reducing ‘street clutter’ in Warwick Street. This was following complaints from shoppers and wheelchair users that they were unable to get from A to B due to the amount of street furniture in the road. In order to maintain access for all, local businesses were asked to apply for a licence to place items like A-Boards and outdoor seating in the public highway. After all but three businesses in Warwick Street signed up to the self-funding scheme, access to the pedestrianised street has been dramatically improved. Enforcement action is now being considered against those firms without a licence, which will see the removal of items belonging to non-compliant firms and potential fines of up to £1,000.

Council leaders will also look to roll out the pilot to other areas in the town from March.

Temporary homeless shelter in Worthing approved

Homeless people are set to receive greater support after plans to create a temporary accommodation centre were approved.

At a meeting in January, Worthing Borough Council’s planning committee approved the proposal to convert the former NHS building in Lyndhurst Road into a 37bedroom hub. The proposal, which was brought forward by Roffey Homes and Worthing Churches Homeless Project (WCHP) in conjunction with the council’s housing department, will support local single homeless people who are in need of emergency accommodation.

With emergency housing at a premium in the town, councillors believe the centre will offer safe and secure short-term shelter for people in Adur and Worthing until suitable permanent properties can be found. As well as ensuring the homeless receive greater support and care, the move will also reduce the local authority’s reliance on expensive and unsuitable bed and breakfast accommodation.

Councillor Heather Mercer, Worthing Borough Council’s Executive Member for Customer Services, said: “Families and individuals who become homeless need advice and support on the services available to help them move back into settled housing. This new centre will have all such services under one roof and

all the expertise needed to help residents move forward positively.

Under the plans, Roffey Homes will be offering the building to WCHP rent free. Councillors heard how the accommodation will have a staff controlled central entrance and a minimum of two staff on duty 24/7 in order to ensure it is fully safe and well managed.

WCHP said it would work with the council and other partners to create a more long-term solution to providing permanent short-stay accommodation for those in need.

Worthing council will contribute £6 million over the next three years towards acquiring emergency or temporary accommodation for those declared homeless as part of a structured plan.

Government cuts Sussex apprenticeship funding Influential business partnership Coastal West Sussex (CWS) has hit out at a government decision which could see a drastic drop in the number of small firm apprenticeships on offer in the region.

Government has awarded no funding for the Universities of Chichester and Brighton to run apprenticeship schemes on behalf of small and medium sized businesses, despite an increase in demand, and the Further Education Colleges received only about fifty percent of their requirements.

The South East as a whole has fared badly in the funding announcement and now CWS chairman Geoff Edwards has written to the government’s Apprenticeships Minister Anne Milton calling for an urgent rethink.

Adur Local Plan Approved

The Adur Local Plan, which will give residents control over development across the area for the next fifteen years, has been approved by councillors. In what has been a six year process, Adur District Council has consulted with hundreds of residents, businesses and other stakeholders in drawing up the 1,200 page blueprint. The result is a document which has been found ‘sound’ by a Government appointed Inspector and which now gives the local authority control over where and how much development is built up until 2032.

Councillors have made it clear the document would provide the policy framework against which future planning applications would be assessed.

Unlike many other authorities locally and nationally, Adur’s plan has been supported by a Governmentappointed Inspector.

The Plan covers the whole of the District, except those parts that are in the South Downs National Park. www.adur-worthing.gov.uk/

Lottery Funding for Highdown

Worthing’s world-famous gardens at Highdown have received a major boost with the award of Lottery funding to help preserve their future.

The gardens, internationally important because they are home to hundreds of rare and exotic plants and trees uniquely grown on chalk soil, are visited by tens of thousands of people every year. Worthing Borough Council, which owns and maintains the gardens, has now successfully applied for Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) money to develop a long-term survival plan for the landmark, which is open free to the public. The Fund has awarded almost £100,000 to the Council to develop a new plan for the eight and a half acregardens, which includes preservation of rare specimens; a new visitor centre; plans to tell the garden’s fascinating history and development of community ownership through a full volunteer programme. www.highdowngardens.co.uk

Broken New Years Resolutions

By Richard Cohen FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner By the time you are reading this there is a 50% chance that you have already given up on your New Year’s Resolutions. This year “saving money” seemed a particularly popular resolution, alongside the classic “losing weight”, but did you give any thought as to how you would actually achieve it? Whilst having fewer takeaways may help with both, January is a long dark month without any curries or pizzas! Did you consider any of the options that would have no impact on your lifestyle?

Reviewing life and health insurances can potentially save you hundreds of pounds a year, particularly if you have a mortgage protection policy or decreasing term assurance that is a few years old. With these policies the cover goes down each year in line with the outstanding mortgage but the premium stays the same. This makes them great value for money in the early years but they get relatively more expensive as time goes by.

It is over five years since insurers were banned from charging different premiums to men and women. If you’ve not reviewed your insurances since then men can often save money on life insurance whilst women

can save money on critical illness and income protection policies. Combined with a lower sum assured on a decreasing policy the savings can be massive.

You may find that there are policies you can stop altogether because your circumstances have changed and you no longer need them. This could be for any number of reasons such as you have changed job and your employer provides the benefit now, you have paid off the mortgage or the kids have left home.

When I sit down with a client and find a couple of policies they no longer need and reduce the premium on another by half I’m usually met with two emotions in quick succession. The first is happiness towards me for saving them however many pounds each month. The second is anger at themselves when they total up how much they have paid out when they did not need to! The longer they’ve overpaid the angrier they get, so review your insurances sooner rather than later and you can rescue one of those broken resolutions and fulfil another you did not know you had – be calmer!

Say Yes More Find the lifestyle you want. By Lynn Smith The New Year is traditionally when we take stock of our lives, perhaps resolving to take control of our life styles – to eat healthier, exercise more, work less hard - but the first flush of enthusiasm is often lost to the realities of our modern existence – the daily commute, gloomy global news. More often than not we settle back into our usual routine without really noticing that we’ve done so, leaving our good intentions to gather dust – along with that new gym membership.

Now there is help for those who might need a little support to embark upon a healthier less stressed lifestyle. Volunteer-run social enterprise SayYesMore has launched a crowd funding campaign to establish a community hub, using the unlikely shape of a London bus, the YesBus, in a West Sussex countryside idyll as a healthy alternative to city/urban living.

The “YesBus” based at Brinsbury north of Pulborough In 2012, founder Dave Cornthwaite, started sharing a personal motto. To him, SayYesMore was a lifeaffirming message, “… a reminder that small lifestyle changes can make a big difference and a gentle kick up the butt in those times where everything feels hopeless.” Research has shown that spending time in nature can improve cognitive functioning, short-term memory and creativity and Dave explains how he came up with the project: “Having lived in London for several years, I have firsthand experience of the frenetic pace of life and the impact it can have on mental health. Around one in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year which is significant number – so I was motivated to establish a space where people can get away from city living, get closer to nature, and make space for new ideas.

“Whether you’ve had a hard week and could do with some downtime in the country, run an innovative young company which sees the value in bonding their team in a countryside setting, or you’re a teacher wanting to give your students a special classroom for a day, we’ve developed multiple programmes to foster and incubate forward-thinking and the benefits that come from saying ‘you know what, I CAN do that’.” “It is,” Dave believes, “easy to get into a habit whereby your default response is automatically “no,” with the result that “you end up hiding away, not challenging yourself and growing stale.” Saying Yes More means people become more interesting, creating memories and learning new skills. What Dave describes as, “A call for action from anyone wanting to make life count.”

Dave’s first step was to launch a Facebook page that quickly gathered followers. In 2015, following an urge to see if he could turn his Facebook friends into

Since this first campout, SayYesMore has held hundreds of events, from weekly free wild campouts under the stars - motivating, the group say, nights of inspiration and adventurous tales called YesStories to regular gatherings of all kinds including barbecues and river paddles, that encourage people to believe in their power of choice. This includes an annual microfestival called - what else - “Yestival” and an evergrowing global community with over 10,000 members. Nicknamed the YesTribe - which Dave Cornthwaite confesses sounds a bit like a cult but, as he says, “if so we’re just a very nice one” - the community is free to anyone who is looking to make life less restricted, more enjoyable, more interesting and more memorable. The aim: “… to make a culture of happy, kind, yes-people normal. To help foster dreams of living and working based around passions and hobbies, and to make sure members use their time as well as possible.”

Dave’s idea was to establish a countryside hub for the YesTribe, and set about converting the YesBus. Once work on the bus was underway the search began for suitable land on which to site the finished bus/hub, resulting in SayYesMore entering into a partnership with Brinsbury Campus of Chichester College (just north of Pulborough) with a home for the bus on one of the college’s green fields. A place that would entice people away from the city into the countryside - a relaxing, safe space, overlooking stunning Sussex countryside, that would be the perfect setting for an escape.

The aim for the bus was a multi-use space both to help nurture a community spirit amongst independent, creative humans and to provide a countryside escape

which would fuse the calming power of nature with the need to keep on top of work. The bus would have coworking desks, a base for inner-city kids exploring the countryside for the first time and be a “digital detox retreat” designed to improve the mental health of adults struggling with the pressures of modern society, and a memorable site for team building days.

The group also wants to open up accessibility to the countryside, especially for city children who have

never walked in woodland or down a muddy country track. From a creative hub enabling a vibrant, progressive tribe of adventurers, to a meeting space and an outdoor playground, the YesBus is an example of exactly what SayYesMore wants to inspire – what they describe as “… a beauty in bringing an audacious idea to reality.”

The Crowdfunding campaign continues, £48,000 is needed to cover the material costs of converting the bus. But the YesBus is not the only string to SayYesMore’s bow. The group’s own “micro-festival for positive change,” has been held annually, each autumn, since that first one in 2015. Set in rolling green countryside at Brinsbury Agricultural Centre Yestival offers: “a weekend full of workshops, talks, walks, discussions and games during the day, then comedy, inspirational lectures and chilled out music at night… a festival with an emphasis on discovery, inspiration and discussion, rather than drinking and partying.”

SayYesMore now has more than 6,000 plus followers on its main Facebook page and a further 2,000 members in regional tribes around the UK, and the message is spreading worldwide with YesTribes popping up in Germany, Australia, Bali, Canada, USA and Belgium. In the last year, the YesTribe has raised over £750,000 for good causes, and has “ … travelled well over 100,000 miles on human-powered journeys – including setting up charities, businesses and social enterprises.” And, SayYesMore runs workshops and

The Yes Bus - inspirational community hub retreats that aim to help anyone going through a tough but ultimately rewarding lifestyle transition.

The group’s ethos are straightforward – to make positivity normal; to support change by reducing hurdles and building a supportive network; to ensure that they have regular organised meet-ups, gatherings, camp-outs and events and to do more than just hang out, by sharing skills and create businesses together.

So, if you feel it’s time that you stopped doing a job that isn’t for you and began something that you’re more passionate about, want to surround yourself with positivity and like-minded people, want to take up new hobbies and learn new skills or head off on life-changing adventures – you could do a lot worse than saying yes more. www.sayyesmore.com

A Few Oldies to look back on by Valerie Martin In May 1949 Colonel Oliver Ulric Thynne, C.M.G., C.V.O., D.S.O. and Mrs Majory Thynne photographed at Muntham Court in Findon at the celebration of their Golden Wedding...... that is Pharaoh the Yellow Labrador taking centre stage (below).

Working under Chanctonbury Ring at the end of the Second World War (to be precise in 1949). Note that the beeches on the summit of Chanctobury are at their majestic splendour as this was pre-hurricane days (above).

On the right, a mention for the Findon Valley Home Guard guys in years gone by. It is Finals Night of the Findon Valley Home Guard Club Snooker Pairs Competition.

Left to right: Mark Howard, W. Mills (donor of the trophy), Reg Cooper, R. Welsh and J. Avenell. Well done to the winning pair on the right.

Above is Rosamund Margesson with her parasol at the front entrance of the Manor of Findon at Findon Place in the early 1900s. Her father was Lieutenant William George Margesson - he had inherited the mansion following the tenancy of the brewer, Henry Williett. Unfortunately, many shrubby trees have been planted along the driveway of this property in more recent years and the view towards Findon Place will soon be lost from public view so we must make the most of it.

You may be tempted to buy a £200 laptop, but be careful what you buy or you might find yourself with a useless piece of tech. Chromebooks are good and reasonably priced. They manage this because they are built around web apps. That means you don’t need much storage space or processing power, because everything is done via the web.

Microsoft have brought out a range of budget laptops to compete with Chromebooks. Windows was never designed to run using web apps alone and therefore requires much more space and processing power to run smoothly. A case in point, a Windows 10 laptop I was asked to look at was running low on space. It was new and still had the default programs installed.

When I looked I found the hard disk only had 27.8 GBs of space in total, which is not enough for Windows, especially since Microsoft started pushing applications onto Windows 10 without user consent.

While I was watching, the available space dropped down to zero bytes. There isn’t really anything to be done in that situation, other than take the device back and get a refund. If it had been a Chromebook, or a more expensive Windows laptop, everything would have been fine. www.alansitsolutions.com

An asbestos cement roof

By Chris Ennis FRICS Only recently I was phoned by a frail elderly lady who was concerned that a rogue builder was proposing to charge her hundreds of pounds to remove and replace her garage roof. I popped round to see her and found that the work was not really required as a matter of urgency and in her circumstances, should not have been prohibitively expensive.

The roof was shallow pitched with a central asbestos capped ridge and all weathered in corrugated asbestos cement panels, probably some 30 or more years of age. Asbestos was banned from use in buildings in 1999 but is still seen in many dwellings, often in rainwater goods, soffits and water tanks.

Asbestos cement building materials typically contain between 10-15% of white asbestos (there are three main types), bound in a cement base. It is the fibres from the asbestos that can be a danger to health if they are inhaled so asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) should never be abraded to create dust.

In this instance the roof was leaking where metal fixings secured the panels to the roof frame, and also where the asbestos sheets overlapped. I arranged for a contractor to have the roof cleaned with a biocide to remove moss and other debris, then to apply heavy

Stop!

builder’s flexible mastic to the overlapping joints.

If water penetration continues, then a Asbestos coat of proprietary water proofing barrier (Aquapol or similar) over the joints should further extend the life of the roof. This repair is not expensive or time consuming, but care should be taken if climbing on to the roof since asbestos sheets can be brittle with age. Always use crawling boards.

With good fortune the complete renewal of the roof might be delayed by 5 years or so.

Asbestos disposal regulations allow any domestic householder to dispose of reasonable quantities of ACMs without charge if they are double wrapped in plastic sheeting prior to consignment to a local tip with facilities to collect this hazardous waste. – I believe Shoreham amenity site is the nearest.

However, if a building contractor removes the waste, a charge will be made.

Paws for thought Arthritis The cold weather makes all of us more achy and stiff – and the same is true of our pets. Older dogs especially may struggle on slippery ice or mud: and running Vet Emma Suckling, on hard frozen ground puts even more strain on joints.

Findon Valley Arthritis is common in dogs and cats of all ages; but is especially prevalent in older pets. Although a variety of factors contribute to the development of arthritis, the end result is a loss of the smooth cartilage lining the ends of the bones. The bones rub together, causing pain, and the joints become misshapen and knobbly due to the chronic inflammation.

Arthritis causes lameness due to pain and reduced range of movement of the joints. Affected pets are in pain all the time they are moving: they may not yelp or show obvious signs of pain, because the pain is a chronic dull ache most of the time.

So: what can be done to help? Quite a lot actually.

Your vet may want to take X-rays to see which joints are affected and how badly. In most cases, medication (anti-inflammatories) may be prescribed: either a

41

short course, to reduce inflammation and pain, or else as a long-term treatment. There are many other pain medications which can be given if these are not effective enough. Joint supplements may also be of benefit: and keeping your pet’s weight down will be very important. Physiotherapy is often a great help: sometimes you, the owner, can do this at home; at other times your vet may refer your pet for physiotherapy, acupuncture or hydrotherapy. Laser therapy is becoming more popular, with an increasing wealth of evidence to support its use.

In more severe cases, surgery may be an option: either joint replacement or fusion, or cartilage implant surgery. A small number of veterinary surgeries, such as my own, are now also offering stem cell therapy.

Known as regenerative medicine, this involves a small operation to harvest special cells (stem cells) from your pet, and then injecting them into affected joints. These stem cells have the ability to grow into cartilage cells that can reform the joint; in some cases completely reversing the signs of arthritis.

To sum up - there are lots of options for treating arthritis and your vet will be happy to talk to you about them. Remember: lameness is always a sign of pain not just a consequence of getting old! Emma Suckling MRCVS, Crossways Veterinary Group.

In Private Lives, strong passions and stronger personalities set the stage for a classic battle of the sexes.

1930. The South of France. Two newly-married couples occupy adjoining honeymoon suites in the same hotel.

As a distant orchestra plays, Sibyl gazes adoringly at charismatic husband Elyot, while Victor admires his new wife, the vivacious and sophisticated Amanda.

Champagne flows and the sea shimmers in the moonlight as the newlyweds prepare for the evening ahead. But when Amanda overhears a familiar voice singing a forgotten song, an old spark reignites, with

spectacular consequences.

Full of razor-sharp wit and quick-fire dialogue, Private Lives is Noël Coward’s most popular and enduring stage comedy. Extraordinarily written in only three days, Private Lives opened at London’s Phoenix Theatre in August 1930 to packed houses. Since then, this charming comedy of manners has retained its remarkable appeal, captivating audiences all over the world.
