Meet a very talented West Hove resident...

LOCAL ARTIST... ANNELIES CLARKE Annelies Clarke is an artist and lives in Wish Road. How long have you lived in West Hove? Since January 2011. Tell us about your art... I am originally from Holland. I trained as a painter in Italy – where I met my husband, who is Scottish – and moved to Brighton in 1980. I paint everything from murals to portraits and landscapes, in oils and watercolour. At the moment I am very inspired by the sea and cloudscapes right at the end of our road. 5

I exhibited with the Fiveways Artists Group for 16 years from 1994. When we moved to Hove I exhibited in different places from 2013-2017 at St John’s Church in Knoyle Road, Brighton. One of your long-term projects is to illustrate the Book of Revelation. How is that progressing? I am painting a large triptych and making an illustrated book. Everything is in place, the main events and characters have been painted in egg tempera, an emulsion that makes an excellent base for oil painting - I like to make all my own paints. This project is not commercial or a commission.

Doors and Conservatories

Annelies outside her front door made with her own stained glass

The Book of Revelation is fantastic but almost unreadable, and I think visual illustrations are essential. If my images help people to read it, that would be wonderful. Do you ever paint West Hove? Yes, I do. I love the beach huts and the sky, especially when you get sunlight under dark clouds. The colours are extraordinary. I love walking on the wet sand, and the whole beach is full of treasures. I’ve just done a painting of the disintegrating breakwaters near the Hot Pipes on the way to Carats Café. It looks like a column of people going into the sea, or coming out of it, and made me think about refugees. I’m a bit of a hermit at the moment, making pages for the book, and I do seascapes as a release. Who are your own favourite artists?

News from Martlets hospice...

MARTLETS BLATCHINGTON ROAD REFURBISHED Visitors to Martlets’ Blatchington Road store are in for a treat as the charity shop has undergone a full refurbishment making it a new ‘Flagship’ store. The vision was to retain the warmth of a charity shop while improving the layout and whole experience for customers. The store will be smarter and brighter with new signage. It will be the first local charity shop to have a dedicated counter for donations and the till has also been moved to improve the flow of the store. Each area of the store will be clearly arranged to make it easier for customers to find great bargains.

SAINT LEONARD’S CHURCH This photo is taken from the family album of Geoff Pike. It shows Geoff’s greatgrandmother Madeline Daniel outside St Leonard’s Church (also then known as Aldrington Church), in May 1914. There is a notable absence of trees and the church was smaller than it is now – it was extended in 1936, due to a rise in population with the westward expansion of Hove. The lych gate was added in 1949 as a memorial to all those who died in World War Two.

Local history from West Hove resident Rachel Bridgeman...

SMUGGLING IN HOVE... If you wake at midnight, and hear a horse’s feet, Don’t go drawing back the blind, or looking in the street, Them that ask no questions isn’t told a lie. Watch the wall my darling while the Gentlemen go by.

Descendant of the 17th century coastal patrols set up to intercept smugglers off the Sussex coast UK Border Force cutter anchored in Aldrington Basin in March 2019

9

A Smuggler’s Song, one of Rudyard Kipling’s most well-known poems, presents a rather romantic view of Sussex’s cut-throat smugglers. In the days before royalty popularised our part of Sussex, this barely inhabited coastline was a popular haunt for smugglers, and the tiny, impoverished village of Hove gained such notoriety that by the 19th century a coastguard station had to be set up here.

Under cover of darkness, high tides would bring smugglers’ boats right to the foot of Hove Street. Their illegal cargo would then be transported to one of the various local hideouts before being conveyed onwards. It is difficult today to imagine smugglers surreptitiously crossing West Hove at midnight to secrete their booty in Blatchington Mill or heaving their contraband up Hove Drove (Sackville Road) to their secret hideout in what we now call Artists’ Corner. Smuggling was a large-scale, highly-organised activity. Although local villagers readily participated when smuggling was afoot in order to supplement their meagre incomes, smuggling gangs were infamous for the campaigns of terror and intimidation they wreaked upon ordinary folk as well as on Revenue Officers. Neither the revenue cutters patrolling the deserted coastline from the end of the 17th century, nor the coastguards brandishing cutlasses, muskets and braces of pistols, were able to quell the illicit trade. To learn more about pitched battles on Hove beach between smugglers and revenue men; barbarous deeds worthy of a Tarantino movie; smugglers’ tales connected with landmarks we are still familiar with today; and the measures the government was forced to put in place in Hove, join a Hove Actually Walking Tour. To join the mailing list for the programme of walks, email hoveactuallywalks@gmail.com. Will include NEW tours: Hidden Hove - the ancient village through the ages; Cliftonville - a Victorian Gem; and A Country of Two Nations - service, struggle and salvation in Poets’ Corner. The popular “Poets Corner 1914-18: The War is Over” and “Soldiers, Saints, Celebrities and Saxons“ tours will be repeated.

The Brighton Festival is back...

BRIGHTON FESTIVAL 2019... Featuring over 130 events, Brighton Festival 2019 is a space for contemporary expression from around the world, from 4 to 26 May. This year’s guest director is Malian musician Rokia Traoré. As always, the Festival will include free and participatory activities for all ages, beginning with the annual Children’s Parade on Saturday 4 May - this year’s theme is folk tales from around the world. Marking 50 years since the first moon landings, Brighton will have its very own moon with artist Luke Jerram’s realistic illuminated lunar model lighting up the sky above Queen’s Park. Recognised cultural figures will bring new work. Authors Ben Okri and Jon Ronson discuss their latest publica11 tions; Grammy award winner Neneh Cherry performs songs from her new release, Broken Politics; and comedian Ruby Wax will teach us how to be human. Without Walls bring a visually spectacular group of outdoor events, including a day of free family friendly performances on the beach level at the British Airways i360. (Sat 11 May, 11am-8pm) Coming to the King Alfred Leisure Centre is Flight by theatre company Vox Motus, an adaptation of the novel Hinterland. With their small inheritance stitched into their clothes, two children set off on an epic journey across Europe – orphaned brothers on a desperate odyssey to freedom and safety. Mixing graphic novel with exquisite diorama, it is a story of hope and survival that draws you into its fragile miniature world, compelling you to contemplate the terror of children adrift in dangerous lands. Seated in your own personal booth, you will watch the action unfold on images and models slowly moving in front of you, with speech and music conveyed through your own individual headphones. (Age 14+, Sat 4 to Thurs 22 May; £12.50; advance booking required) Also in Hove, there are a variety of concerts at All Saints Church, including The Unfinished Violin - a veteran of contemporary folk band Bellowhead, Sam Sweeney performs a live show of instrumental music inspired by the Great War. (Wed 8 May, 8pm, All Saints Church, The Drive)

“Flight” is at the King Alfred Leisure Centre; picture by Drew Farrell

Events at The Old Market theatre include a Malian Dance Night (Mon 20 May, 7.30pm) and a concert by Slow Moving Clouds, a contemporary acoustic band based in Dublin combining roots in Nordic and Irish traditional music with minimalist and experimental influences.

There’s free croquet on Hove Lawns on National Croquet Day...

ANYONE FOR CROQUET? Sunday 12th May 2019 is National Croquet Day and Hove Beach Croquet Club is offering free croquet and coaching to anyone - groups or individuals - who would like to try the game.

13

Deckchairs, tables and gazebos will be set out from early morning, there will be games for kids and grown-ups and coaching sessions throughout the day. The Hove Croquet Club on Hove Lawns was first established in 1928 and the new Hove Beach Croquet Club was founded in 2010. We are located next to the Hove and Kingsway Bowling Club, between the King Alfred Leisure Centre and The Venue Beach Bar (formerly The View). Over the years, the game of croquet has gone in and out of fashion. At the end of the 19th century, it was more popular than tennis. Tennis eventually came out on top, largely because of croquet’s unsavoury reputation. In America it became associated with gambling, drinking and philandering to such an extent that it was once banned in Boston as an immoral practice. Herbert Swope, the American newspaperman, on whose estate Read reviews of advertisers with the Trusted and Local logo on their adverts at www.trustedandlocal.co.uk

www.trustedandlocal.co.uk

Groucho Marx and Dorothy Parker were said to have played with unsportsmanlike rivalry, said, “Croquet gives release to all the mischief in you. It makes you want to do bad things… it is a great game.” To keep the spirit alive, our club motto is ”to cause mistrust and resentment among even the best of friends”.

INTERESTED? Hove Beach Croquet Club is a very relaxed club for anyone in and around Hove who would like to watch, learn or play croquet. Croquet is a game that is best enjoyed among friends and over the past few seasons the croquet club has become an excellent place to meet good people or just hang out on hazy, lazy summer days. Visitors are welcome, children are welcome, coaching is always available, there is a bar, regular barbecues and plenty of deckchairs. The club is open from May to September, every weekend from 12 to sundown (weather permitting). During the week, local groups and charities have regular sessions. If you know a group that would like to give croquet a try, get in touch through the website or our Facebook page. If you’d like to join, you will find all the information you need on the website. www.hovebeachcroquetclub.co.uk www.facebook.com/groups/ HoveBeachCroquetClub

This article is by local financial adviser David Lewis...

INVESTMENT PLANNING... Whether you want to invest money to help your loved ones later in their lives, for financial security, to minimise the tax liability for yourself or the inheritance tax liability on the estate you leave to your family or to take a regular income from your investments, it is important to plan your investments in a way that maximises your chances of achieving these goals. Firstly, you need to establish how much you would like to invest and what kind of time frame you would like to invest it over. When doing this, it is vital to take your lifestyle, employment status and family into consideration to avoid tying up money you might need urgently. Also consider how much risk you are willing to tolerate so you can devise an appropriate strategy. Pensions, ISAs and even some investment portfolios are fairly easy to set up yourself online with a bit of research but putting all the elements together to try to best suit your requirements and circumstances can be a time-consuming and complicated job. The marketplace is huge and finding out what is available and which schemes or investments would be the most appropriate to help you achieve your goals can be very difficult. This is why Financial Advisors spend so much time training and updating their knowledge to navigate this very large market and ask the right questions so they can understand exactly what you want to achieve and what your circumstances are. It’s only when advisors

such as David Lewis Wealth Management have all this information that we can make recommendations based on extensive product knowledge and research. For personalised investment advice to help you achieve your investment goals, call us on 01273 933743 for a no-obligation consultation.

We believe great care is best when it’s at home. It's there when you need reassurance and to help you stay independent. Our quality care is provided by our trained and compassionate carers. Whether it’s one visit a day or several, we're here for you.

A local event...

KAWHRA MEETING ON 21ST MAY...

HOVE BEACH HUT MEETING

The next meeting and AGM of the Kingsway And West Hove Residents’ Association (KAWHRA) will take place on Tuesday May 21 in Glebe Villas Hall at 7.30pm (and is expected to finish by 9.15).

The Hove Beach Hut Association will be holding its inaugural meeting at 7.15 for 7.30pm on Wednesday 15 May at The Gather Inn on Kingsway, by Hove Lagoon.

The main speaker will be Bruce Greenall, the Senior Air Traffic Controller of Brighton City (formerly Shoreham) Airport. The airport has a remarkable history – founded in 1910, it is not only the oldest continuously-operating airport in the UK but also the oldest purpose-built commercial airport in the world. It has a listed Art Deco terminal building and has featured in a number of films. We will hear about some of its history, current activities and prospective developments. There will also be a speaker from the council to talk about the recently-created council team of Field Officers, developed to work with communities and act as trouble-shooters across a number of council services, and updates will be given on local development issues and other community matters. KAWHRA covers the area between Boundary Road and Roman Road, south of New Church Road, but everyone is welcome at the meeting. kawhra@gmail.com

The meeting will include presentations and approval of a constitution. Owners of any beach hut in Hove, and adult members of their families, will all be welcome. For further information, see Hove Beach Hut Association on Facebook.

Update from your Local Action Team...

NEWS FROM THE WEST HOVE FORUM... outofhoursnoise@brighton-hove. gov.uk. They will get back to you the following morning with the offer of a visit that day. Any incidents should be reported formally by the person who witnesses them. New police officers are currently being trained and many are already working across Brighton and Hove. New Police Community Support Officers are also training, which will create more support for local communities.

Parks and Open Spaces At the West Hove Forum’s last meeting at the end of March, we focused on our parks and open spaces. Planning permission was granted in March for a new synagogue with housing in New Church Road and almost £150,000 in developer contributions will be allocated to open spaces and indoor sports when this is completed – this includes funding for play equipment in Wish Park and/or Stoneham Park and Hove Lagoon. The Forum was concerned that developer contributions can only be allocated to new equipment but not towards maintenance of existing equipment. Equipment which was stolen from Wish Park hasn’t been replaced because the council has no funds for this. There have also been cuts in staffing levels. Friends groups are working to cancel out the cuts in council funding by refurbishing benches and putting up noticeboards, for example, themselves. The Friends of Stoneham Park have now started their own gardening group, working with the Cityparks team. A local couple offered to pay for the restoration of an out-of-action fountain on the Western Lawns, but this was rejected by council officers on the grounds that they couldn’t maintain it.

Anti-social behaviour The issue of anti-social behaviour in the Ingram Crescent area was raised at the Forum with our local PCSO. The police have been investigating this and have increased patrols. The council have a phone number for out-of-hours environmental emergencies – 01273 292229 (4pm to 8am – emergencies only). You can also contact the weekend out-of-hours noise service on 01273 293541 (from 5pm on Friday to 9am on Monday) or email

Wish Park

The next West Hove Forum meeting will be at 7pm on Wednesday 5th June at Lawrence Art Studio, 14-16 Kingsthorpe Road. If you would like to attend on behalf of a group or business, please email westhoveforum@gmail.com.

Why not come to the Ralli Hall Lunch and Social Club a venue for the discerning, elegant older folk of Brighton and Hove, conveniently located by Hove Station at Ralli Hall, Denmark Villas, where you can meet your friends and make new friendships in a relaxed and congenial atmosphere. We meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10.00 - 4.00 and while the three-course hot lunch is the focus of our day, we also have exercise classes in the morning along with a discussion group and crossword sessions. After lunch we have a variety of entertaining activities which include bridge, kalooki, rummikub, guest speakers, art and musical entertainment. Tea and biscuits are served both mornings and afternoons. At minimum cost we can offer safe, assisted transport from your home to and from our venue. We welcome the young at heart, who can bring us their lifetime of experience to our group. We would love to hear from you, so please contact Jacquie on 01237 739999 or ralliday@tiscali.co.uk for further details.

WEST HOVE

Nathalie’s monthly health tip…

INTERMITTENT FASTING – GOOD FOR ALL? Although I would never encourage anyone to adopt a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to eating, research has been accumulating around the benefits of intermittent fasting (IF). What is IF? In a nutshell: IF is fasting at various intervals. How does it work? Most commonly, IF involves fasting for 12 - 16 hours at a time, starting after dinner and having no food until lunch next day. What is it for? Research shows that IF may improve energy, cognitive function, reduce the risk of diabetes, obesity and heart disease. 29 Can everyone benefit? The benefits of IF are obviously appealing, but IF is often more challenging and sometimes harmful to women. As women are more sensitive to signals of starvation, their hunger hormones will rise with fasting. If hunger is ignored, hormones can become imbalanced and ovulation and menstruation may even stop, which will impact fertility. The solution for women? Do 2 to 3 non-consecutive fasting days and don’t

push the hunger to starvation levels. Increase gradually and don’t ignore the signs of hormonal imbalance, especially mood swings, irregular/no periods. Important note: Keep higher intensity exercise on the eating days. Yoga or gentle movement on fasting days will help you benefit from IF far more than pushing yourself too much. As usual, always listen to your body. It’s rarely wrong. Nathalie x Nathalie Sansonetti.

Local news...

EXTRA STOREY PROPOSED FOR CHANNINGS Seafront apartment block Channings have applied for planning permission to erect an extra storey on the existing flat roof of their eight-storey block of 96 apartments at 215 Kingsway (between Langdale Road and Carlisle Road), constructed circa 1970. They want to create six apartments, of mixed sizes, in the rooftop extension. The proposed apartments would be set back from the existing sides of the building, creating extensive terrace areas. The developers say in their application: “The scale of the proposed rooftop extension is in keeping with the surroundings. Channings is located within the Western seafront/Kingsway identified39 tall building corridor and there are a number of buildings along this section of Kingsway and near to Channings that are 8 or 9 storeys in height including Prince of Wales Court and the Horizon building, which has a set back top floor.” If approved, the intention is to construct the additional floor using a form of modular construction, which will allow the additional floor to be constructed off-site. Channings say this will minimise disruption to the existing residents.

Some residents of Channings support the proposals. One commented: “I approve of this development because it is a very good design, being only one extra storey and not very visible except from the Hove seafront. It will also replace or hide the current view of rather ugly water tanks on the roof. It will improve the appearance of the whole block and provide extra homes for people without having to take up more building land.” However, the council has already received numerous objections from other Channings residents and neighbours, who are concerned about the height of the development, noise, overshadowing and an exacerbation of existing parking problems. One said: “We have had constant building work for several years and have had to endure noise, disruption and restricted views (due to unsightly scaffolding) for longer than I care to remember.” The office of Hove MP Peter Kyle has written to object to the application, saying that he is concerned particularly about the height. The letter says: “Peter is of the opinion that if Channings is allowed to develop this way, then other blocks along West Hove would follow suit and thus irrevocably change the area from ‘mid-rise’ to ‘tall’ and ruin the seafront.” The deadline for the determination of the application is 16th May 2019. For full details or to comment on the proposals, see the council’s Planning Register (planningapps. brighton-hove.gov.uk) – search for Planning Application BH2019/00825.
