The Resident is today asking our readers to help lift the gloom in Horsham. At a time when central government taxes are rising sharply but both the county and district councils have agreed big spending cuts (see pages 2-3), we are

urging individuals and businesses to support a new initiative by the Rotary Club of Horsham. The charity will allocate at least £1,000 each month to help individuals, families and not-for-profit organisations in and around Horsham with small donations, small items or services where they will really make a difference. It wants our readers to suggest suitable uses for the money or add to the kitty by donating. And, with their permission, The Resident will recognise donors’ generosity

by publishing a roll of honour. Rotary Club member John Le Rossignol told The Resident exclusively: “These are tough times. Probably many people in our lovely country town will be affected by the cutbacks and price increases expected in the coming months. “Anyone can apply for help and the process will be simple and speedy. Just tell us what you need and why and how it will make a difference to you, your family or your organisation. Continued on Page 2

Council cuts caused by ‘mismanagement’ Horsham District Council has been accused of voting for budget cuts after losing control of your money. Cllr David Holmes, leader of the district council’s Liberal Democrat group, told the full council meeting on Wednesday evening: “The proposed budget for next year aims to reduce expenditure by £1.9 million on total expenditure of around £30 million. “Over the following three years it is proposed to reduce expenditure by a further £1.9 million – a total budget cut of approximately 12 per cent. The council has 505 posts and a 12 per cent cut would be 60 jobs. “If it had not been for the windfall of not having to put a planned £800,000 into the pension fund, the total cut needed would have been £4.6 million or 15 per cent of the council’s expenditure. “Having to make cuts on this scale clearly shows how out of control the financial management of this council has been. “The council’s staff are mostly dedicated people who do a good job. There should be no need to cut what this council does further. Council services should not be cut to compensate

for poor financial management. “The current Government settlement covers the next two years and the grant will be cut by £1.35 million.

It is rather like ‘buying your girlfriend a new car with her money

’

However the Cabinet’s proposed cut is more than twice this at £2.9 million. “Clearly the council’s financial difficulties are by no means all due to the government grant cut. Why are such large cuts being made? Because of poor financial management year after year.” Cllr Holmes said the Conservativerun district council: • Should have balanced the budget each year • Should not have used all the bank interest, when interest rates were high, to cover day to day expenditure

Put the smile back Continued from Page 1 “It is unlikely that we will be able to satisfy all requests, but we intend to use The Resident to advise what we have achieved and what requests we cannot fulfil so that others can lend assistance. “By making the needs of our community public, we hope others will donate to the cause. Together we can try to help each other get through these difficult times.” Mr Le Rossignol added: “The Rotary Club has existed in Horsham since 1923 and in those 88 years has helped many people and organisations. In 2010 alone we donated more than £25,000 to many local, national and international causes. “In recent years we have become mainly noted for organising events,

especially for children, such as the Kidz Stuff festival, Trick or Treat competition, town centre pancake races, Halloween activities and charity markets. “These are fun to arrange, add to the community spirit and also raise much-needed funds. “Now we would like to demonstrate to the community our other side – the giving and service one. “The Horsham club has more than 40 men and women from a variety of backgrounds who give their time and energy for free, but who have a lot of fun and satisfaction doing it. “Rotary is a global independent charity, widely trusted, and is therefore an ideal organisation to assist all sectors of the community.”

• Should not have used council reserves year after year to bridge any gap • Should have invested in land and development projects to generate income • Should have reviewed several years ago what the council does Cllr Holmes added: “For ideological reasons this administration just keeps cutting away at the council’s ability to serve the community. “Expertise has been lost, training has been cut year after year and the budgets used by staff to deliver services have shrunk, restricting their ability to deliver services. Instead of actively doing what needs doing, the policy is to do less and less. “The council recognised many years ago that it should not spend more than its income. Yet year after year, with the exception of just one year, it has spent more money than it had coming in. “In effect the Conservatives have used taxpayers’ money to woo them with low council tax increases that in reality it could not afford. It is rather like buying your girlfriend a new car with her money.”

How to make a difference Any individual or not-for-profit body can send a message via the “contact us” page at horshamrotary.org.uk, including the help needed and the difference it would make. Alternatively, write to the Rotary Club of Horsham, Birkdale, Greens Lane, Mannings Heath RH13 6JW. The charity will probably contact applicants to discuss their requests before an award panel makes a decision, ideally within two weeks. Mr Le Rossignol said: “If we can’t help we will, with your permission, publicise the request in The Resident. The names of applicants, successful or not, will remain confidential unless you give permission for us to use them.” Donations to the fund can be made by cheque, preferably with Gift Aid authorisation, to the address above. Cheques should be made payable to “Rotary Club of Horsham Making a Difference”. Mr Le Rossignol added: “If you wish donations to be for a specific cause or request, please tell us. We will publicise all donations in the media and to the recipients unless requested not to.”

Jobs gloom as council wields axe 350 posts to go within a year, with more to follow as part of £79m cuts programme

Bus service is ‘lifeline’ Residents have started to contact a task force which will help decide which bus services are cut. The county council will slash bus subsidies by £2 million, or 43 per cent, over the next three years as part of its overall cuts of £79 million. Cllr Lionel Barnard, deputy leader of the council, has set up a task force of five councillors – three Tories and two Liberal Democrats – to consider the issue in more detail. Last week he told The Resident he would be happy to hear from individuals and groups anxious to make sure their bus services were not hit. And you are starting to take him up on that offer. Dorothy Hubert emailed Cllr Barnard to comment on behalf of her sister, a pensioner from Brooks Green who does not drive. She said: “There is a two-hourly bus service which serves Brooks Green into Horsham, Monday to Saturday. This was an hourly service but has been cut to two-hourly. “The service is a lifeline for shopping, banking, dentists etc. Her doctor is in Southwater, which means either a very lengthy bus trip into Horsham and then to Southwater and return, an expensive taxi trip or asking us to take her. “It is not right to penalise the older members of society who have worked all their lives for the benefit of the country. “Cutting the rural bus services further will isolate many people in their homes so they lose their independence, which can lead to illnesses.” Send your views to Cllr Barnard and Cllr Pieter Montyn, chairman of the task force, at lionel.barnard@ westsussex.gov.uk and pieter.montyn@westsussex.gov.uk

About 500 jobs will go – 350 in the next year – as part of West Sussex County Council’s plan to save £79 million in the next three years. And the council says another 800 jobs could transfer to other service providers, reducing the council’s staff from 6,300 today to 5,000 in 2014. Cllr Louise Goldsmith, leader of the Conservative-run county council, said: “Unlike some other councils, we have not announced job losses first but have worked through all the implications of the proposed savings. “It has been the worst of times for all of us. Nobody came onto the county council to make savings of such proportions, yet each one of us has to face our responsibility. “These savings cannot be made without radical changes to the county council and staff.

came onto ‘theNobody county council to make savings of such proportions

’

“The council has been preparing for this day and over the last year or so has been holding posts vacant in order minimise the impact on our staff. “Some of the savings required next year can therefore be achieved by removing nearly 100 vacancies from our books or using them to redeploy staff whose jobs are going elsewhere. “Despite that, we will still need to lose a further 500 staff, over 350 in the next year, with the rest spread over the two subsequent years. Phasing the job losses will help reduce the economic impact. “Around 400 of those staff are

permanent county council employees and 100 are temporary agency staff. “In order to protect as much of the key, critically important frontline services as possible, we are looking at sourcing options for much of the administration service. “This will mean services transferring to other providers. The jobs involved will also be transferred away from the county council. “As we look to the Big Society, we expect other jobs to be done outside of the council. “Overall it is estimated a further 800 jobs are likely be transferred to other providers as a result of future sourcing decisions.” The county council says most of the posts to be axed will be in management and back office and support services, office administration and specialist functions such as human resources, training, finance and democratic services. Staff have been told compulsory redundancy will be a last resort, while some posts will disappear through natural wastage such as resignations and retirement. Cllr Goldsmith added: “I know we have a committed workforce who do their best for the organisation and for the residents we serve and I thank each and every one for all they do. “We recognise that these are very difficult times for our staff and their families. We are working to handle the very necessary changes we have to make as fairly and sympathetically as possible.” Liberal Democrats criticised the Tory majority for pushing ahead with budget cuts too quickly. Cllr Morwen Millson, Lib Dem group leader, said: “We recognise that these are very difficult financial times and that the council has to make difficult decisions. “The Conservative council has made the situation worse by insisting on delivering the cuts over three years instead of four. “If the cuts had been re-profiled over four years, nearly £5 million

more would have been available for services in the coming financial year. “The Liberal Democrat amendment to the budget would have delayed the implementation of some of the cuts, which we believe would have given more time to find other ways of delivering services.

It is a political ‘decision by

Conservatives in West Sussex to rush these cuts over three years not four

’

“We are extremely concerned that the impact of the loss of some services is not properly understood and we fear that very vulnerable people will be left without reasonable support. “We are very disappointed that every single Conservative councillor voted these budget cuts through. “They have voted for deep cuts in care for older people, for people with learning difficulties and for youth services. They have chosen to inflict swingeing cuts in bus subsidies and to charge young people £50 for a concessionary fare card that has been free.” Cllr James Walsh, Lib Dem deputy group leader, said: “The cuts in social care for vulnerable adults with moderate needs will accelerate their decline. “They are a false economy that will actually cost the taxpayer more in the medium to long term in additional costs to the National Health Service and to social services. “Although we need to get out of the mess left by the Labour government, it is a political decision by Conservatives in West Sussex to rush these cuts over three years not four.” Cllr Derek Deedman (Lib Dem, Bramber Castle) accused county

Conservatives of lecturing Lib Dems about profligacy even though the Tories’ “borrowing binge” had racked up £430 million of debt in 11 years. Horsham Tory MP Francis Maude, the Cabinet Office minister and Paymaster General, said the coalition government had acted to deal with an “appalling mess” left by Labour nationally. He told the BBC’s Question Time: “The last government left the biggest budget deficit in the developed world. When we came into office, the government was spending £4 for every £3 it got in taxes. “Do you think it’s all right for us to leave our children and grandchildren to pick up the bills for decades to come?”

Freeze in council tax West Sussex County Council has voted to keep its share of the council tax at the same level as last year. The average band D tax will remain at £1,161.99, but this does not include the amount charged by Sussex Police, parish councils and district councils such as Horsham District Council. Cllr Michael Brown, Cabinet member for finance and resources, said: “I’m proud that nearly 80 per cent of the £79 million cut in our budget is being found not by service cutbacks but by management improvements, streamlining the organisation and cutting bureaucracy. “This means cuts to frontline services have been kept to an absolute minimum. “The consolation for the people of West Sussex is that although some reductions in social provision will take place, at least we are not going to charge more for delivering less.”

It’s not quite Watergate but is this really the end for leaks? Southern Water says its new meters are helping reduce the amount of water lost through leaks. The new advanced water meters include a leak alarm which is activated when water runs continuously through the meter over 24 hours. As the meters are read, using socalled drive-by technology, the first leak alarms are being picked up and transferred to the leakage team for investigation. Southern Water started installing meters at the end of last year and says most customers will have them by 2015. The programme is part of the company’s plans to secure supplies for the water-stressed region in the long term, alongside developing new resources and tackling leakage. So far, more than 1,000 of the new automated read meters (AMRs) have been installed and read in Horsham, one of the most water-stressed areas in Sussex. The first reading of these meters has picked up 16 alerts for leaks on the supply pipes, which connect homes to Southern Water’s network, or for leaks inside the homes such as a dripping tap or cistern. These are the responsibility of the homeowner, but the company is offering three free repairs on the supply pipes per household as part of its campaign to drive down leakage. Twenty percent of water lost through leaks is from household’s

FOR ATE PRIV E HIR

private pipes. Southern Water spokesman Darren Bentham said: “The leakage we will pick up on customers’ pipes through our metering programme is a hugely important part of our overall plan to reduce leakage. “We anticipate by just doing this we will save five million litres of water per day. “Leakage is an important issue for us and we are already delivering one of the lowest levels of leakage per property of all the UK water and wastewater companies. “We have got a £20 million plan of action to reduce leakage even further over the next five years to get it down

to 77 million litres of water per day by replacing vulnerable parts of the network.” The metering programme will also help Southern Water find more leaks on its own network as it can more accurately measure how much water it is pumping in and how much is being used. Mr Bentham added: “We will continue to do our bit to drive down leakage. We’re looking to save just as much water on the leakage side as we anticipate we will save through metering. “Once the meters are in we will continue to strive to drive down leakage as far as we possibly can, not just

on our pipes but on customer supply lines as well. “New technology will come on line in the next 10 years that will help us do this.” Customers will move on to metered charges this year. Households where leaks are found can apply for a leak allowance to cover the cost of lost water. See southernwater.co.uk/metering for more information. Call 0800 820999 free of charge to report a leak.

News in Brief Don’t be scammed West Sussex trading standards officers are supporting the Office of Fair Trading’s Scams Awareness Month. Graeme MacPherson, head of trading standards at the county council, said: “West Sussex is no different from any other part of the country when it comes to attracting scam mail. “Last year we received nearly 600 complaints from residents about suspected scams. “With the ‘Read It, Report It, Bin It’ drive, the OFT is encouraging people to show they haven’t been tricked by the con artists.” Cllr Pete Bradbury, county council Cabinet member for public protection, said: “It is important that consumers recognise the increasingly sophisticated methods of scammers. “When something looks too good to be true, it almost certainly is. So our message to consumers is: ‘Read it, Report it, Bin it’.” Nearly half of the UK adult population has been targeted by a scam. Every year, one in 15 people nationwide fall victim to a scam involving deceptive unsolicited mailings, phone calls, or emails.

National Park Authority is urged to reject quarry plan The planning application to extract 1.5 million tonnes of sand from Horncroft Common will be decided by the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA). Councillors on West Sussex County Council’s planning committee had envisaged they would consider the controversial application on March 15. But this is no longer possible because of the complexity of comments recently received and the need to consider a wide range of technical and environmental matters. So the SDNPA’s planning committee will make the decision sometime after taking on its responsibilities in April. And Jim Redwood, SDNPA head of planning, believes the committee should oppose the application. He said: “It is not considered there are exceptional circumstances which would override the impact a new mineral working will have on the natural beauty of the landscape and countryside of the South Downs National Park. “Ambiguity over the future level of supply of sand and gravel from within the national park needs to be resolved before a major new site in the park is considered. “When the ambiguity is resolved, there needs to be comprehensive consideration of the best options for meeting mineral needs.” Nick Herbert, Conservative MP for

Arundel and South Downs, has registered his formal objection to the Barlavington Estate’s application after receiving “many letters” against the scheme. He said: “The site lies within the boundaries of the South Downs National Park and should receive the highest level of

landscape protection. “The increase in the movement of heavy vehicle traffic on local roads, including the B2138, would be intolerable. “There would be up to 100 road journeys a day to and from the site, many by 20-tonne vehicles, on roads that are not designed to take this

volume of traffic. “There is no urgent need for this quarry. West Sussex has 5.9 million tonnes of sand and gravel reserves, equivalent to 15 years of average demand over the past three years.” Mr Herbert said it would be “surprising” if the SDNPA did not follow Mr Redwood’s advice.

News in Brief Wheat a danger The dangers of overheating wheat bags have been highlighted by firefighters. Wheat bags are therapeutic heating pads, usually containing buckwheat or wheatgrass, used a source of warmth or to relieve aches and pains. They come in all shapes and sizes and have become an increasingly popular alternative to hot water bottles, particularly among older residents, but if used incorrectly can lead to a devastating fire. Roger Wood, of West Sussex Fire and Rescue, said: “Wheat bags should all come with manufacturer’s instructions, including maximum heating times, and it is vital that people follow these. “If the original packaging is thrown away there is sometimes no indication on the bag itself how long it should be in the microwave for, so timings could easily be forgotten or overestimated. “Our advice is to keep any packaging and instructions stored with the bag.” Phone the community fire safety team on 01243 642879 or see westsussex.gov.uk/fire for more information.

Women needed for Midnight Walk News in Brief Local ladies are being asked to have a heart and sign up for the St Catherine’s Hospice Midnight Walk in Horsham. Being promoted in association with Southern Railway, the womenonly half marathon walk will raise money to provide hospice care and support for patients and loved ones. The June 11 event is a chance for ladies of all ages to make a difference by teaming up with friends, family, work or school friends. A total of £420,000 has been raised from similar walks in three previous years. Last year more than 1,000 women strode out in style on the 13mile course, which starts and finishes at Horsham Park, raising £160,000. Jen Wickham, event fundraiser, said: “The Midnight Walk is a real stand-out in our calendar. Every year women tell us how much they enjoy the walk and its atmosphere. “Whether you are walking in memory of a loved one or want to challenge yourself in support of local cause, we hope 1,300 ladies will line up with us for a night to remember.” Although the Midnight Walk is ladies-only, men are encouraged to show their support by volunteering as event marshals for the night. Every walker will receive a t-shirt, email newsletters to help with training and sponsorship ideas, refreshments, a breakfast and a medal. The entry fee is £15 and the closing date for applications is May 27. For more information, to register your place or sign up as a volunteer, call 01293 447364, email jenwickham@stch.org.uk or visit stch.org. uk/midnightwalk

Puppy love Dog walkers and dog lovers took part in a Valentine’s dog walk for charity on Sunday. The event was organised by Arthur Lodge Veterinary Surgery to raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind and took place in Horsham Park. More than 25 dogs and their walkers came along and together they raised more than £200. The fundraiser is part of a large campaign by the vets to raise £5,000 for the cause. Julian Peters, Owner of the Arthur Lodge Veterinary Group in Sussex and Surrey said: “The charity dog walk was a great success. I would like to thank everyone who took part in the event as their help and support is crucial to those who rely on a guide dog”.

The Department for Communities and Local Government has produced a new leaflet called ‘Building work, replacements and repairs to your home’ for homeowners who are considering building work or home improvement. The booklet will help people understand which types of project need buildings regulation approval from the Local Authority Building Control. It also provides information on which types of project can be managed under a competent person scheme, and provides contact details for such schemes. Competent person schemes were introduced by the Government to allow businesses to self certify that their work complies with the Building Regulations as an alternative to submitting a building notice.

Forget the Baftas, it’s the HYCs Glitz and glamour was the order of the night at Horsham Youth Centre when young people celebrated their achievements and recognised the efforts of volunteers. Youngsters from youth clubs across the area walked down a red carpet and enjoyed a hot buffet at the Hollywood-themed awards evening. Live music came from Wealdbased band One Less Than Perfect, who performed original material, and a stunning vocal performance by Steyning Youth Club’s Billy Wakelin, featuring covers of Elton John’s Your Song and Adele’s Roll Deep. Former policeman Andy Skinner, of Millais School, and Chief Insp Mark Trimmer helped present trophies, certificates and £30 gift voucher to the winners. Chief Insp Trimmer told the young people: “In these times where it’s going to be difficult to get financial support, I think everyone needs to recognise that we need to invest in you.” And he told The Resident: “This demonstrates how important the youth work in Horsham is to help give the kids the opportunity to develop and learn. “I would encourage other people of all ages to get involved.” Event manager Sam Albrow said: “A huge thank you to everyone that helped put the event together.”

Student killed by train Final bell for boxing legend Bob Christ’s Hospital School is in shock after a student died at a railway crossing. Upper-sixth pupil Matthew Leonard, 18, was struck by a train at Emms Lane, Barns Green, shortly before 7am on Monday. Headmaster John Franklin said: “The school community is shocked and saddened by this news and our thoughts are with the parents, the rest of our pupils and staff at the school at this very difficult time. “Matthew joined us as a sixth former – a quiet but pleasant young man who was well liked. He was a bright,

hard-working student and a talented long-distance runner. “His tragic death has touched all at Christ’s Hospital and we will miss him greatly.” Mr Leonard was pronounced dead at the scene and police are not treating his death as suspicious. Passengers were kept on at least one train for two hours after the power was switched off. Trains between Barnham and Horsham were redirected via Hove while replacement buses were also provided.

The funeral and memorial service of a prominent businessman takes place at Southwater Parish Church today (Friday, 11.45am). Robert Morris, known as Bob, owned and managed Roundstone Caravans, a business that had been in the family for more than 80 years. The 73-year-old was also chairman of Horsham Amateur Boxing Club, where he had been involved for more than 25 years. The gym in Horsham Park is named after him. He leaves wife Natalie, three daughters and sons-in-law, a brother

and five grandchildren. Daughter Rosie Kent said: “He was the best boss anyone could wish to have and the most amazing father and grandfather.” Donations can be made to Horsham Amateur Boxing Club and St Catherine’s Hospice, via Freeman Brothers of Horsham. The boxing club’s show, scheduled

for March 5, has been postponed until later in the year. Crawley Boxing Club, some of whose members will attend the funeral, will hold a dinner show at Effingham Park Hotel today, sounding 10 bells in memory of Mr Morris. Horsham’s Ben Gumbrell, Dan Purchase and Shane Weston will be among those competing his evening.

A 76-year-old man from Horsham has been sentenced for housing and council tax benefit fraud totalling £53,000. Peter Paffett, of Bracken Grove, told fraud investigators he would not have been able to give his daughter an education without the money. Hove Crown Court heard Paffett and wife Florence lost their home and moved into social housing after a £20,000 overdraft “went sour” and her freight business got into trouble. Paffett, who admitted 13 offences dating from 1994, failed to declare a civil service pension or disclose that the couple had a joint savings account with £7,000 in it.

The judge said he would have ordered a three-month prison term had it not been for the “exceptional circumstances” of Paffett’s ill health. Paffett was given a conditional discharge for a year and ordered to pay £500 in costs. Horsham District Council, which is seeking to collect the overpayment, has set up a confidential benefit fraud hotline for reports of suspected false claims by other people – 01403 215511. But the council is keen to make sure residents get all the benefits they are genuinely entitled to. Call 01403 215359 or visit horsham.gov. uk for details.

Prisoners and the right to vote – the inside story Horsham residents disagree with MPs who want to retain ban Should prisoners be allowed to vote? MPs opposed a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights by voting 234-22 in favour of maintaining the existing ban. The backbench motion called for the retention of the status quo in which all prisoners, except those on remand or imprisoned for contempt or default, are unable to vote. Horsham Tory MP Francis Maude and Nick Herbert (Con, Arundel and South Downs) did not vote, but Mr Maude told the BBC’s Question Time: “It is very unsatisfactory that we are being put in this position where Parliament is being expected to vote on something where a majority of members of Parliament, as the vote demonstrated, would not vote for it. “We are going to be obliged by this ruling of the European Court to vote through – or there will be an attempt to vote through – something which most people find repugnant. “There are a lot of things wrong with our

regime in prisons, but this is so low on the list of things that are wrong that we should not be concerned about it. Yet we are going to have to do something about it.” The government is reported to be considering a compromise in which only prisoners sentenced to at least four or five years are prevented from voted. Juliet Lyon, of the Prison Reform Trust, said: “In a free vote, 234 MPs chose to hang on to the 19th century punishment of civic death enshrined in the 1870 Forfeiture Act. Just over one third of the total number of MPs voted to retain the ban. “Although the vote is not legally binding on the government, the message it sends to prisoners and people working in the prison service is a poor one. “The outdated ban on prisoners voting has no place in a modern prison system, which is about rehabilitation and respect for the rule of law.”

A Horsham student has made history by winning the British Taekwondo Championships, becoming the youngest ever champion. Guntur Dwiarmein, from Collyer’s, sent shockwaves through the sport by sensationally winning the title, beating the reigning champion in the final at the English Institute of Sport, Sheffield. The ecstatic 18-year-old said: “It was my first event as a senior so I must admit I was nervous. However I thought I had a good chance of doing well as I was the junior British champion and my form was good going into the competition. “Preparation has been tough, but Collyer’s have been really supportive and understanding with regard to my training regime so I was able to be fully focussed and physically sharp.” After becoming British champion, Guntur doubled up to win his second gold medal, this time in the doubles with training partner Sydney Craven. Both train at the Livingwell Taekwondo Academy, Gatwick. Guntur added: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the brilliant people at the academy. “I’m also staggered by the level of support that Collyer’s has given me. It’s a brilliant college and I have loved studying there. “The Collyer’s Association and the Old Collyerians Association have even helped me to fund training equipment and transport costs for the competitions that I attend around the world.

“The teachers and support staff have been hugely positive, which has helped to motivate me. I didn’t want to let people down.” Anthony Barnard, honorary secretary of the Old Collyerians Association, is thrilled with Guntur’s success. He said: “Wow! This is brilliant news and so I’m so proud that we have helped Guntur in some way.” Collyer’s principal Jackie Johnston said: “Guntur is a lovely, down-toearth lad who is not only hugely respected as a gifted athlete, but also very well liked by fellow students and his teachers. “He is an inspiration and we are all incredibly proud at Collyer’s that he is British champion.” Guntur has already set his sights on European glory. The path begins at the Belgium Open in April, a qualifying event for the European and World Championships.

Businesses and potential event partners are being urged to support the fifth Horsham Piazza Italia, to be held on April 22, 23 and 25. Organisers claim Piazza Italia has the highest profile of any event in the town centre and is the most successful Easter Italian festival in the south of England. They promise three days of authentic Italian fresh produce market, Italian-themed entertainments and displays, local business

promotions and merchandise stalls. Nearly 100,000 town footfall movements were recorded over the Easter weekend last year. Piazza Italia rallies will involve Ferrari owners clubs and Italian motorbikes on Good Friday, the Italian Job on Easter Saturday and Italian super cars on Bank Holiday Monday. Other planned events include an Easter bunny hunt organised by Horsham Rotary, an Italian winetasting trail and Caffè Italia, “in

search of the perfect cup”. And Piazza Italia will go Veneziano with its own Carnevale Di Venezia, “the world’s best masked extravaganza”. Businesses are being asked to encourage people into Horsham and convert the extra visitors into their customers. Contact town centre manager Garry Mortimer-Cook on 01403 215386 or tcm@horsham.gov.uk to discuss sponsorship, competitions and promotions.

‘Easy way’ to help our motorists hampering growth and in turn the economy at large. It is vital we see action now. “A fuel duty stabiliser would give the UK’s five million small businesses the certainty and stability they need to factor in fuel costs to their business plans. “It is unacceptable that the Government has not delivered on its pledge and now says it is too complex. “A fuel duty stabiliser can be easily introduced and must be put in place. Without it, small firms are just going to be left simply trying to survive.” The FSB says introducing the stabiliser would also provide greater certainty for businesses, individuals and families and allow them to factor in these costs as they plan for the future. FSB research shows that the rise in fuel duty and uncertainty over fuel prices could have a major impact on small businesses meaning they are left with no choice but to increase prices, freeze pay or even lay-off staff. The Government has said it is putting its faith in the private sector to lead the recovery, and the FSB believes that by introducing a fuel duty stabiliser, small firms will be able to effectively plan and grow their business, which will benefit the entire economy.

Explore the South Downs A nine-day summer walk across the South Downs will give people the chance to enjoy the some of the best countryside in the UK. As well as the views, the trail introduces walkers to famous Sussex sites such as Amberley Castle, the Jack and Jill Windmills, made famous by the Universal film ‘The Black Windmill’ starring Michael Caine and the remains of Stane Street, where the Romans crossed the Downs 2,000 years ago. West Sussex County Council Cabinet member for environment and economy Deborah Urquhart said:

“Hundreds of people from all over the world have enjoyed this 106-mile walk over the past 32 years. The walk follows the National Trail and is organised by Footprints of Sussex on behalf of the County Council. Each day averages 11 to 12 miles and is taken at the walkers’ own pace. Keith McKenna, from Footprints of Sussex, said: “We have a team of ten experienced leaders to walk with the group and bring the whole nine days to life with their knowledge of the trail. Every day we have various competitions to enter, and churches, teashops, pubs and farms open

especially to welcome walkers as they pass through.

As the rising cost of fuel affects more individuals and businesses, increased pressure is being put on the government to implement a fuel duty stabiliser. In a new report, The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has attempted to put an end to the myths that such a stabiliser is too complicated and expensive to put in place. Previously, critics have said that allowing adjustments to fuel prices in order to alleviate the impact of price rises is too complicated, expensive and bad for the environment. However, in its report the FSB dispels these myths and shows that it is simple, affordable and crucial to allow businesses to plan ahead and not be caught out by unexpected rising fuel costs. By basing the stabiliser on the oil price cycle, the level of fuel duty could be calculated against a trend price for oil. This would then be adjusted at regularly timed intervals following changes in the price of fuel. Ann Swain, chairman of the Crawley, Horsham & Mid Sussex Branch of the Federation of Small Businesses, said: “Critics have said that the fuel duty stabiliser is too difficult to introduce. But the FSB does not agree. “We know that high fuel prices are having a huge impact on our members,

From the frying pan into the… oven Horsham Thai restaurant adds traditional carvery into the mix Fusion has been a buzz word surrounding Asian and Eastern cuisine restaurants for years and involves the combination of different types of food from different regions to create new tastes and dishes. Now, a Horsham Thai restaurant is adding some very British ingredients to its menu. The Silver Wok, on Brighton Road will be offering a traditional carvery consisting of three different roasts and a vegetarian option, every Sunday. The carvery is a first for the town and will start on February 27. It follows the arrival of a new front of house manager at the restaurant, Rob Macarthy-Byrne, who has more than 25 years’ experience in the

hospitality industry, mostly working in London. He said: “We listen to customers and are giving them what they want. There’s nothing like this in Horsham at the moment, so we’re looking forward to welcoming our existing and new customers. I’m expecting the atmosphere to be great”. The produce that will be served for the carvery will all be fresh, with nothing frozen and will be sourced from a local butcher. The restaurant also has a private function room including a bar available for hire, where they can served a range of Thai foods, a hot or cold finger buffet and a carvery.

Apprenticeship event is a success An event for those who want to know more about alternative career paths and learning on the job proves a hit with young people James Hood Business Editor

james@the-resident.co.uk

More than 130 young people who are interested in exploring their career options attended an Apprenticeship Week event at the Y Centre, in Horsham last Thursday, 10 February. Training providers, who offer advice on and help organising apprenticeships for candidates hosted stands at the event. They included Collyer’s College, Real Time Training, National Apprentice Service and The Military College. Representatives from the organisations were available to discuss potential career paths and areas of industry that visitors might be interested in as well as

providing information on any further education or additional training that might be necessary. The event was scheduled to mark National Apprenticeship Week (7 – 11 February) and was well timed with recent announcements about youth unemployment in the UK. It also comes at a time when younger people are considering alternative options as a result of rising tuition fees at Universities. Millais pupil Ayan Butler was at the event to get some advice on her future career path. She said: “I’m not sure yet what I’d like to do when I finish school, but this event has helped me to understand more options that are available to me. I might not go on to further education so it’s been helpful to get all the information.” The event was organised by

Babcock Enterprise, which runs the Horsham Connexions Centre for Young People. Area manager Jane Reed-Smith said: “It’s been so successful. We’ve had some great feedback from the people who came for advice and the training providers have said they are impressed by the keenness of the young people. Some

have even said they will be increasing their resources in the Horsham area as a result”. Milan Nayee, from Real Time Training, was one of the representatives giving advice to young people who came through the doors at the Y Centre event. He said: “It’s good for young people to know that they have

other options. We help them find their vocation or identify areas of interest and then help them learn and find employment so they reach their potential”.

Local businesses get in the game Local organisations have the opportunity to compete for 2012 Olympics contracts Business people in West Sussex are warming up to not only watch the 2012 Olympic Games, but to participate in the event. It is estimated that more than 15,000 contracts will be available to provide products and services to the games and businesses in the area have already won bids to be official suppliers at a top level. A recent event at K2 in Crawley, funded by South East England Development Agency (SEEDA), provided information on bidding for Olympics Games and other contracts. Seminars held on the day highlighted how to find business opportunities

in the public sector, within Europe and internationally and was part of the county council’s drive to support local enterprises. Deborah Urquhart, cabinet member for environment and economy said: “It’s very encouraging so many businesses attended this workshop. In these challenging times, we are committed to doing what we can to provide businesses with information to help them remain competitive. Anyone interested in finding out more about the opportunities the 2012 Olympic Games will bring can visit competefor.com where contract and bidding information is published.

A safer workplace Council makes the district’s businesses some of the safest in the country A new project has been launched by Horsham District Council that aims to make the area a safer place to work. The initiative follows the success of a similar project last year and will run between February and April 2011. The project will involve environmental health officers from Horsham District Council visiting local workplaces and offering advice on safe working practices to assist businesses in reaching compliance with health and safety law. High-risk areas will be targeted and the visits will focus on the assessment and control of risks associated with working at heights, manual handling and slips and trips. The project will use flexible warrants, which will allow the officers to visit higher risk workplaces, which under normal circumstances are

covered by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and vice versa. The initiative is part of efforts by the HSE and local authorities to work together more effectively to ensure workplace hazards are adequately controlled. The Horsham district has shown a year on year improvement in serious accident reduction, making the district one of the safest places in the country to work. The hope for this project is to keep improving on these figures by reducing injuries and ill health in the workplace through raising awareness, education and by only taking enforcement action where absolutely necessary. Cllr Peter Rowlinson, Cabinet member for planning and the environment at Horsham District Council, said: “At Horsham District Council, we have a history of working with

businesses to encourage compliance with the law and improve standards. In many cases, improvements in the management of occupational health and safety lead to cost savings through reduced accidents and ill health.”

Keeping it in the family James Hood discovers a traditional way of running a business is as popular and profitable as ever You might not think that couture designer Versace, property empire Candy & Candy and the northern England ‘born and bread’ bakers Warburton’s have much in common. But there are a couple of similarities, and they might just be the key to their success. All of them are at the top of their game, and all are family run businesses. It’s a trend that is seen around the world. From living a more provincial life farming in Tibet, to the skyscrapers of New York and London, the family business is a global trend and one that has stood the test of time. It is, evidently, also a popular business model in the Horsham area. So what exactly is the appeal of running a company with your nearest and dearest? The thought alone might fill some of us with dread, but for others it is a profitable and enjoyable way to do business. William Lovegrove, from Horsham, is a director at Tree Top Design and Print. He believes that working as a family has helped get the business to get where it is today, some 28 years after it was founded by his father: “Because you all share the same goal

it makes the running a company so much easier, and if you want to be successful, you need to be able to rely on others”, William said. He is not the only one who believes that the support of family members has meant they can run a successful business. Vince Di Lena, who owns The Company Hairdressing, in Horsham, works with his Sister Paola and says: “We trust each other implicitly, and that means we can get on with the job and there’s less to worry about”. From chimney sweeping to accountancy, following in the footsteps of a relative is a long-standing tradition. And it is something that was important to William: “I was keen to be a part of it from an early age, and to take over the reins one day. I came to work for my Dad when I finished school, 14 years ago and I started right at the bottom. It is something I am really proud of”. It is that pride in working for a family business that could mean the difference between success and failure, particularly during tough economic times. Dale Jannels is a director at All Types of Mortgages, known as ATOM, which was established by his parents

in the family home in 1991. He believes working together has helped them survive the recession: “We pull together when we need to. It might even be over Sunday lunch, but as a family we will discuss the business, make a plan and it works really well”. Dale also believes that working as a family is not only good for profits, but also for customers. He said: “Because we are from different generations, we are in a better position to understand our customers’ needs. In our business we cater for everyone, so it’s important that we can help and advise a wide range of people, and between us we have a wealth of expertise”. But surely, spending all day every day with your parents, siblings or children, has some drawbacks? Treetop Design and Print’s William claims there are no arguments, just a lack of quality family time: “We don’t spend a lot of time together that doesn’t involve work. Even at the weekends, it will still come up. But that just shows how committed we are”. An understanding of where a business is going is fundamental to its success and families often have the same vision and direction from early on. ATOM’s Dale, who works alongside his brother as well as his mum and dad, added: “My family shares the same goals and wants the same results”. So it’s clear the family-run enterprise is a traditional model that has a place in modern business. It instils a sense of pride, brings families together and can mean they work as a team to help fend off the tough times. Plus, when it comes to growing the business, and improving the books, everyone is on the same page.

included anything from car wing mirrors being damaged to arson in the past. Cllr Pete Bradbury, county council Cabinet member for public protection, said: “Communities can help to tackle criminal damage by being observant and reporting anything they notice in their area that may encourage crime.” Greg Ockwell, from the council’s safer communities team added: “Good lighting, surveillance and an alarm will dissuade thieves and slow them down in the event of a theft.”

BBC 2 is looking for family businesses that have been passed down through the generations to take part in a new TV programme. Maybe you are unsure about who will take over when you retire, or perhaps you have children that want to pursue other careers. Whatever your story, they want to hear from you.

The West Sussex Strategic Community Safety Partnership has warned local businesses to be mindful of potential crime this spring. The partnership is planning a twopart initiative in the area over the coming months to make it safer for non-residential premises and property owners including offices and factories. The call comes at a time in the year when crime rates rise and will prompt business owners to be vigilant and take action to prevent criminal damage. Such damage has

A class act Debut show from local theatre company will be a comedy classic James Hood Entertainment Editor

james@the-resident.co.uk

Rag and bone men, Albert and Harold are coming to the Capitol in Horsham, with their horse and cart in tow, for a live performance of Steptoe and Son. Having driven all the way from Oil Drum Lane, the father and son duo will be on stage in The Studio from 2 – 5 March. The show has been produced by The Engine Shed Theatre Company, and stars Jack Lane as Albert and Michael Simmonds as Harold. Together they will perform three episodes from the classic BBC comedy series from the 60s and 70s. Jack Lane said: “We wanted to pay homage to two fine actors and two gifted writers”.

There were eight series of Steptoe and Son filmed originally, boasting viewing figures of over 28 million. The show was recognised as breaking new ground in TV, mixing comedy with gritty reality. This is the first production for The Engine Shed Theatre Company, which was formed in March 2010 by Jack Lane. He said: “We’re committed to producing local theatre to the highest quality and production values we can. As a newly formed company, we didn’t want to produce a musical or play that had been shown recently. We wanted to do something a little different”. Tickets are £12.50 and the show starts at 8pm.

The newsagent’s stock is rising Review Steve Goodwin Comedy

steve@the-resident.co.uk

When John O’Sullivan asked his sell-out crowd at the Hawth Theatre “How many of you are actually from Crawley?”, the 2 or 3 lonely voices set the scene. This was home turf, and helped give Horsham’s most famous newsagent and part-time comedian the confidence that ran through his performance. The 2nd Newsagent Provocateur show began in a similar fashion to the last, with an introductory video sketch. John’s miming along to “The Impossible Dream” was accompanied by his trademark adjusting of the glasses and expressions to camera, and continued as he travelled (in his underpants) across various terrains

using as many modes of transport as he could come up with. Emerging from a caravan, John set off on a mini motorbike, before jumping on his trusted mobility scooter. He even tried his hand at water skiing, horse riding and hanging off the roof of a car. The sight of this adventure being undertaken by an almost naked, ‘shapely’ figure, bearing a little more than the average builder from behind, was very funny and set the tone perfectly for what was to come. John was at ease with the crowd, as if he was performing in his own living room, and had no hesitation to involve himself with a spot of audience participation. Being John, this consisted of picking on any of the countless giggling subjects at his disposal, and firing various outrageous insults at them, to the delight of the rest of the audience. Whilst always amusing, the real laughs and sparks of genuine comedy talent came from the video sketches, which have been the foundation of much of O’Sullivan’s growing fan base online.

Created by James Adair, the movies were hilarious parodies of well known adverts or film scenes, usually featuring his long-suffering Candy Box assistant Denise, and always finished with a filthy or shocking twist, which drew roars of laughter. One sketch in particular, a take on the ‘Virgin Holidays’ advert, saw a naked John cheekily hiding behind several red ‘discount’ discs before hysterically revealing a little more than anyone thought he would dare. Another of the videos, a perverted but very funny spoof of the ‘Match. com’ advert, has since been uploaded to YouTube and has clocked up an impressive 5,000 hits in its first three days. The ad agency responsible for creating the original has even tweeted that O’Sullivan’s version is ‘brilliant’. The videos were cleverly woven into the routine, and between them John commanded the stage with wit and energy. Denise joined John for parts of the second half, to the delight of the crowd, and continued to receive outrageous abuse, but

somehow the affection between the two was always felt. Other highlights included a giggle inducing but rather low brow appearance from a very flatulent ‘super hero’, and an amusing on-stage recreation of ‘Blind Date’ featuring a male member of the audience and a special guest from a certain episode of ‘Come Dine With Me’. This led to a possibly brilliant set-up with an indian takeaway order, but we suspect this was not as genuine as most of the audience wanted to believe, yet it was delivered with great enthusiasm. It was not all plain sailing however - a couple of jokes didn’t work as well as they had in John’s head, the Ashes gag in particular fell down in flames but he had the composure to instantly recognise it and bring a laugh out of the apology. There were also a number of technical hitches and delays with props and audio, but John wasn’t afraid to make a point of these, even commenting of his stage assistants: “I got them from Crawley College”. John filled any delays with audience interaction and

the pace never slowed, awkwardness was never felt as his audience were willing him to do well. The finale was a panto-style song and dance routine featuring several John and Denise clones, the haphazard choreography providing plenty of laughs. Whilst comparisons can be made with the Little Britain style spoofs, the Harry Hill glances, the Frankie Boyle ruthlessness and the Benny Hill-esque slapstick, John has forged a unique channel for himself in that he delivers more of a variety show than a regular stand-up routine. For only his second show it was an admirable success. The pace and diversity of Newsagent Provocateur kept the audience guessing, and even if some aspects of John’s humour aren’t to everyone’s tastes, his creativity was always entertaining. It is this flexibility and medley of comedic elements that will ensure his stock keeps rising in the comedy world. Check out John’s hilarious videos at newsagentprovocateur.com, or ‘like’ Newsagent Provocateur on Facebook.

Dennis Locorriere, Alone Again Julia Martin hooks up with the 70s star before the opening night of his tour at The Capitol If you remember the 70s, you’ll remember the plaintive voice of Dennis Locorriere. He was the lead singer of Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, and the heartbroken lover calling ‘Slyvia’s mother’ or giving us advice to watch your friends ‘When You’re in Love With a Beautiful Woman’. Dennis has gone solo, and kicks off his world tour in Horsham. He will be appearing at The Capitol on February 23 and you can be sure of one thing; it will be an unforgettable evening of songs, old and new, repartee and poetry. I wanted to know a ‘Little Bit More’ about this talented singer ad songwriter, as he has packed in a lot of life

saying he had just made it up - Cheers John!” quipped Dennis. The star talks with a natural rhythm and is able to create little rhymes and poems spontaneously, which he calls “the songwriter’s curse”. He was advised by a good friend to put them into a book which he did and the ‘Whatever is Burning Now’ has just been published by Indigo. The poems reflect Dennis’s attitude to life, which is incredibly upbeat: “I think of life as one long day with little naps along the way” was one of my favourite lines. Dennis feels you have to “embrace your past” and he is grateful for his Dr Hook fan base but is eager not to be labelled as the bearded one without the eyepatch in and is keen for people to hear his other songs as well. He has a solo cd and dvd, titled ‘Post Cool’, which will be released later in the month and follows his live tour. He explains: “You dig one hole, and then another hole and if people like it, you dig another but you sure don’t want to dig the same shaped hole all your life”. Talking to Denis is like being on a ride on a fairground - he whirls around and entertains you with exhilarating speed which is not what I expected from the voice of the man who sang ‘Syliva is going away’ in such a haunting voice. I did forget to ask Dennis the meaning of one of the later Hook songs ‘Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk’ but, maybe he just made it up as he went along too! Be sure to book your ticket at the Capitol for Wednesday February 23. See you there.

in since the 70s. He has not only recorded solo albums but also written songs for such greats as Bob Dylan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Olivia Newton John, and Helen Reddy. celebrity During our interview, he talks with vivacity and wisdom, cracks many jokes and even recited poetry with great timing and humour. Last year, Dennis was honoured to be asked by Mojo magazine to perform a Beatles’ song on the commemorative album ‘Let it Be’ and was pleased to be asked to sing a John Lennon number until he heard the title ‘Dig a Pony’ which included such lines as ‘You can syndicate any boat you row’. “It seemed to make no sense whatsoever and John was reported as

Showing on

the big screen Gnomeo and Juliet

Yogi Bear

In a modern, family-friendly take on the Shakespeare play with a similar name, this 3D, animated film tells the story of the love between two gnomes. Living on different sides of the fence, and embroiled in a feud between the red and blue-hatted gnomes, their romance could come to a tragic end. With the voices of James McAvoy, Emily Blunt and Michael Caine. Showing at The Capitol until 24 February.

Yogi and Boo Boo, the picnic basket-snatching, park ranger-dodging bears come to the big screen. It’s an adventure that will see them trying to save the national park they call home from closure, with the help of a documentary filmmaker and nature lover, Rachel. Half-term fun with the voices of Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake that is a combination of animation and live action. Showing at The Capitol until 24 February.

60s rhythm and blues returns The British rhythm and blues band Manfred Mann enjoyed worldwide success in the 60s with hits 5-4-32-1, Do Wah Diddy and If You Gotta Go. In 1992 the band reformed, making a comeback as The Manfreds, and on Wednesday 9 March they are performing at The Capitol. Although many of the band’s

members enjoyed successful solo careers during their 23-year break, today the original line up remains mostly the same. Come and see them perform their hits live. The show starts at 7.30pm and tickets are available from the box office on 01403 750220 or visit thecapitolhorsham.com

The Black Swan Julia Martin discovers a darker side to the ballet in this powerful portrayal of obsession and self-discovery

Review As predicted last week, Natalie Portman picked up the Bafta for her leading role in this chilling film based on the Swan Lake ballet. This award belongs to Natalie, for her portrayal of the fragile, naive and unstable Nina, who lands the lead role in the ballet but pays a price when life begins to imitate art. The evil twin, the black swan, which represents her own dark side, leads her on a journey of self-discovery and destruction. The film is a clever mix of a psychological thriller and sexual awakening set against the highly competitive and sometimes, brutal world of worldclass ballet. There are scenes that will make you squirm as Nina self-hams herself and the physical effects of the harsh regime become apparent. The director, Darren Aronofsky, spins us around with the dancers and he uses many techniques from his last film “The Wrestler” to great effect. Natalie Portman displays a vulnerability that is captivating. She leads the audience to believe that Nina’s paranoia is based on true facts and this is where the film really dupes

us and we are also caught up in the clash between reality and fantasy. The twists and turns of the film echo the movement of the ballet sequences which are superbly filmed. The recounting of the fate of Odette, the White Swan, mirrors Nina’s own to be trapped in an alien body and to fall in love. The suffocating influence of her own mother, a failed dancer, inhibits her personal growth and one of the pivotal scenes is when Nina throws all the stuffed animals in her bedroom down the rubbish shaft. Like the evil sorcerer in the ballet, the mother, chillingly played by Barbara Hershey, acts as the evil force and prevents the development of the whole person so that Nina cannot act as the Black Swan convincingly. The choreographer, teacher and the man she loves, played by Vincent Cassell, tells her that the only person holding her back from brilliance is herself and this is why Black Swan is such a powerful film. It touches a nerve in all of us. Do not miss it. It is a psychological exploration of the effects of success and repression, with Tchaikovsky’smesmerising music.

‘Nobody puts Baby in the corner!’ Julia Martin Health & Lifestyle

julia.martin@the-resident.co.uk

Well, Valentine’s Day is just a memory and hopefully it will have been a romantic one, but given the results of a recent survey into what men consider romantic gestures, I do wonder! Apparently the following actions represent romance to some men: loading the washing machine; clearing up their clothes off the floor; making a cup of tea and joining their partner to watch a chick flick! Exciting stuff eh? Whilst we women love the red roses, the dancing, the walks and holding hands. It is no wonder then, that women love their escapism into the world of romantic films. The top favourite chick film of all time has been voted as ‘Dirty Dancing’, where the muscular hero who can dance better than he can talk whisks the rather shy young heroine to the centre of the dance floor to be swirled and lifted off her feet and spun above his head in front of an audience of rather conservative holiday makers. Granted, there is something appealing about our monosyllabic hero’s six pack, but why does this, of all films made in this genre. have such lasting appeal? I believe it is because of that iconic phrase “Nobody puts Baby in the corner”. We all want to be recognised and appreciated by the people who love us and not just for washing a shirt but

for our quintessential uniqueness. It is interesting to see the change in women’s roles and aspirations reflected in the top three chick flicks, where Bridget Jones came in second place and Pretty Woman and Sex and the City came joint third. Here we see the emergence of women who worked for themselves and had high expectations but nonetheless were all in pursuit of Mr Right. Bridget Jones was a woman with a successful career in publishing and TV journalism who was obsessed with both her weight and the pursuit of Darcy, the successful and also rather monosyllabic lawyer hero. Do we like men who do not talk too much? Pretty Woman was also a successful working woman of sorts although her work did not involve much talking! She was rescued by the successful and taciturn hotshot businessman, played by Richard Gere, who moulded her into a beautiful and elegant woman who commanded admiration from all around. Yet again, it was the recognition that was the attraction for the female audiences as well as the prospect of being driven around in a sports car by Richard Gere (you might have noticed, I rather like Richard Gere!) Finally, we have the Sex and the City girls and they do not need the recognition and attention as they sassy their way through a range of relationships as quickly as they do shoes. Despite this, the prize for Carrie will always be Big, the man she has loved for ten years and whom she

finally gets to the altar before being stood up. Here we see every woman’s nightmare as she gets all the attention for all the wrong reasons, as she is left with only her beautiful Vivienne Westwood dress for company. But as with all good films, it all works out for her. We all love a happy ending and like the fairy stories of our youth, every girl gets her man, and

walks off into the sunset ...aww! Get me the tissues please! This leads me onto the subject of the Cinderella complex which is supposed to be what happens after the closing titles; when women lose their own sense of identity and get caught up in the minutiae of family life so that they neglect their own needs and wants.

Well, we will have none of that here, as we offer you opportunities to improve your health and fitness and also master new skills within our features. However maybe it is a good idea to train your partner to do all the things he thinks of as romantic every day, so you have more time to enjoy these treats!

The puzzle of learning to read Julia Martin Health & Lifestyle

julia.martin@the-resident.co.uk

We all take reading for granted, yet acquiring the skills of reading for a young child is an amazing feat for the brain. Barbara Dodd, outstanding primary practitioner at Farlington School’s Preparatory Department shared her wealth of experience with mothers and grandparents of pre-school children on Wednesday 9th February on how to optimise children’s chances of success. Barbara helped us to unpick the puzzle of how the brain assimilates information from the written word and her animated and fascinating talk was full of helpful tips and hints to help encourage younger children to adopt the learning strategies which will serve them in their quest to read. The key factor was to use a combination of learning techniques in order to access auditory, visual and kinaesthetic memory. Yet all of this can be approached in a fun way so that the children enjoy their journey and parents can have a great time helping them too! Barbara focused on the two and three year olds but also included tips for older children too. She wanted to ensure that the children had the best platform for launching into their

early education at school. We are pleased to share some of her valuable tips and thanks to Barbara and Farlington School for presenting such a lively and informative talk . The following activities can be done at home with children from two years upwards.

Key Tips • When reading stories to children, introduce them to the idea of that print goes from left to right by placing their finger on the page and following the sentence. Also point out the title and show them the way the book opens. This can be done in a casual way as you read. • Encourage children’s imaginations

by asking open questions about stories or general topics “Why do you think Spot did that?” or “What else can you see?” or “What did you like about swimming?”. This will also help them with their writing later on.

• Knowledge of phonics which means knowing the sounds the letters and their combinations make is very important. Repeating the sounds of the letters is an excellent way to help your child learn. The “Jolly Phonics” series is a fun way to do this and it is available at the Early Learning Centre. • Combining phonics with visual memory produces the best results, so buy some plastic stick on letters

and teach them to say the sounds to go with the letter. You can draw round these letters (not capital letters at the moment though) and produce a chart or a name plaque for them. Very young children can trace their fingers around the letters. Using tactile letters increases the sense of learning so making a name plaque with sand paper or felt letters is a very good idea.

• Using dramatic actions for the various letter sounds is a fun way to teach them and “Jolly Phonics” has a whole range of characters and sounds to go with the letters. My favourites were f which sounds like the sound coming out of an inflatable ; z which is a like a buzz from a bee and n which is the sound of a noisy aeroplane! Watching Barbara demonstrate these, makes you realise how much enjoyment can come from learning in this way. • For older children, it is interesting to note that the letters s a t i p n can provide the children with the opportunity to make up to 40 words, so that is your challenge!

We hope that you will enjoy helping your child and that it will inspire you to learn more. Barbara recommends a useful book by Patience Thomson called “101 ways to get your Child to Read” £1.99 from Amazon.

Hypnotherapy can change your life Hypnotherapy has been called the 2nd oldest profession. The word hypnotherapy was actually taken from the Greek word ‘ypnos’ which means sleep and it has been said that there was mention of it within the Bible (Genesis 2:21, Samuel 26:12, Job 4:13, 33:15 & Acts 10:10). It was used by the Egyptians before 1552 but its modern use can be traced back to 1700’s when it was used by Viennese Doctor Franz Anton Mesmer. Today’s uses are many and varied and many of the modern day vices can be tackled most effectively with this non invasive and cost efficient method. It has been used to tackle smoking, drinking, depression and now trained hypnotherapists have developed a Hypno Gastric Band and patients have reportedly rapid weight loss. The potentially massive financial savings for patients dwarf the fees which are charged by trained hypnotherapist ‘Hypno Genius’ who covers East and West Sussex and Kent. The Daily Mail carried a recent article which clearly illustrates how hypnotherapy can be used. So from bringing new life into this world, to beating drugs and drink, it is clear that modern methods of hypnotherapy can be used to dramatically alter patients everyday life.

Beales beauties put a spring in their step! Julia Martin Health & Lifestyle

julia.martin@the-resident.co.uk

A fashion show and beauty demonstrations were on offer at Beales Gala evening on Thursday 10 February as well as their range of excellent merchandise. The store opened it doors between 6pm and 9pm to offer a preview of the spring fashions in beauty, clothing and accessories.

There was an energy and verve to the fashion show which featured clothes from their concession holders ‘Oasis’, ‘Warehouse’ and many more. Young fashion was highlighted and the young models walked the catwalk with confidence and style. These preview evenings are becoming more of a regular featue in the store and offer excellent opportunities to shop and sample new beauty ranges. The Benefit stand was very popular with the young girls and they have

some beautiful product launches. Lancome was also in the spotlight as they were joint sponsers of the Baftas and their make up and skin care is used by many of the stars on the red carpet. To commemorate the Baftas, they are offering a lovely red box gift promotion set available with the purchase of two products. As usual, one of the highlights was the fabulous prize draw where the prizes are high value cosmetic and skincare packages. It was delightful

to watch twelve year old Gemma Daniels’ excitement at winning a scrumptious bath time treat coffret and immediately turn to her mum and give it to her! Well done Gemma! Make sure you look out for the next preview evening and head down to Beales, which despite the disruption in the Piazza, is still offering the people of Horsham a high class service and range of excellent product ranges. A little whisper tells me there may be new ranges to come too!

‘Time To Talk’ We have had ‘It’s good to talk’ courtesy of Maureen Lipman during a previous BT advertising campaign and ‘TalkTalk’ from mobile phone promotions but now we have ‘Time to Talk’. West Sussex families troubled by conflict between the generations can now receive help from a special scheme launched by the local charity, West Sussex Mediation Service, known as Time to Talk. Intergenerational mediation, provided free by trained independent mediators, can help prevent family breakdown by reducing conflict and improving communication between family members across the generations. West Sussex Mediation Service already has 45 volunteer mediators providing a service for neighbourhood disputes, dealing with up to

250 referrals a year, throughout the county. The new service will specialise in helping families, whose own members are having relationship difficulties with each other. Service co-ordinator Nick Handley said, “Our service is completely independent and confidential. Our mediators do not take sides. They are not counsellors, but are skilled in facilitating meaningful communication and understanding across the generations. We are introducing this service in response to demand and hope to find revenue streams to be able to sustain it.” Anybody wanting to use the service, which does not encompass divorce or separation issues, can make contact on 01403 258900, during office hours or by email: info@wsms. org.uk

Rental properties are being snapped up across the UK Demand for rental properties continues to reach new height on the South Coast as rental properties are being let within record time report Countrywide, the UK’s largest letting agent and property services Group. Countrywide Residential Lettings took part in the UK-wide research which revealed that on properties are being let on average within 15 days - 5 days quicker than a year ago The research also revealed that there is an average of 4.4 tenants vying for each property across the UK; with the South West generating the greatest demand with an average of 5.9 tenants. In Q4 2010 the number of new tenants registering for rental accommodation increased by 14 percent compared to the same period in 2009. Overall, the total number of new tenants registering for rental accommodation exceeded 200,000 last year – a record high; with new tenant registrations increasing by 37 percent, which peaked between July and September 2010. Agents throughout the UK reported a significant lack of property supply with the average number of properties available to let falling by 29 percent. The findings of the survey also revealed that the proportion of three and four bedroom properties entering the rental market has steadily grown across the UK – increasing by 3 percent over the last quarter and 2 percent compared to Q4 2009. Countrywide Residential Lettings is reporting an increase in demand for properties in the Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex & Surrey areas<. Leon Betchley, Regional Director said; “We are seeing a growing demand from tenants right across the Region, which is seeing properties having let’s agreed before the previous tenants contract has ended!” “The shortage of properties is pushing up demand across the country, buy-to-let investors and homeowners looking to let out their property should contact their local Countrywide Residential Lettings Office to discuss what options are available.”

Crime maps - a useful tool for house buyers? Crime maps are a useful and welcome tool but not the be all and end all for an informed buyer says Strutt & Parker The launch of a new national crime map that reveals all the criminal offences committed across England and Wales has cast new light on the property market. It is the first of its kind in the world and with detailed data pinpointing the smallest of crimes down to particular streets the site will provide homeowners and potential buyers with considerable new information. Naturally there has been concern that this revelation may lead to a drive down in house prices in some areas. However, national estate agency Strutt & Parker thinks this is

unlikely. Initial online research undertaken by buyers is now seen as part and parcel of their homework on property and areas and crime street mapping should be viewed in context as part of an overview - not necessarily in isolation as a key deciding factor. Michael Fiddes, Head of National Sales for Strutt & Parker, explains that there is already a huge amount of data available for buyers on main search engines and bearing in mind 80% of buyers start their search on the internet most sensible buyers are fairly clued up on areas they are

buying into – especially as the majority of people buy only 10 – 15 miles from their current homes. It is those moving into an area that they know little about that may be more wary if the postcode throws up a high crime rate…and could be put off. The market is already affected by crime levels and this is reflected in the differentiation between house prices across the UK. Fiddes warns that the greater imbalance between areas will create an ever more significant divide particularly blighting the poorer areas. Obviously there is merit in providing

buyers with more open information but, as Fiddes adds, it is just another factor and unlikely to be examined over and above other information available, such as previous prices achieved, planning history, good schools in the area, good transport links and how the street looks! There is such a thing as ‘over research’ – and as most buyers know there is very rarely a perfect house with every single box ticked. Whilst there is great hype about this website now (the site crashed with over 5 million people logging on every hour) and some doubts cast as

to its accuracy, notwithstanding the odd statistical blip Strutt & Parker believes that, as is often the case, the urgency to use this new tool will soon have died down and will in some cases be totally forgotten. Most of our buyers put most trust in word of mouth and personal recommendations and the professional advice that Strutt & Parker is able to provide across our offices. There is after all no better substitute to personal and local expertise.

Mo Khan Director Address Estate Agents

We want to move to a larger house but we have not seen the right property to buy yet, however we are worried in case our dream home comes onto the market and we are not in the position to move quickly enough to buy it?

This seems to be a common problem that we are finding time and time again, even though we have noticed a definite upturn in property coming onto the market, housing stock locally is still not at the kind of level that it has been in previous years. So here at Address Estate Agents we have introduced a new Low Key Marketing solution. This concept enables us to carefully match people on our database that are either willing to fit in with our clients timescales, for example people in rented accommodation, or match people from our extensive database to each others properties. Another upside to this is, if need be, once our client has found that right property then full marketing can be actioned immediately, as all the relevant documentation is correctly in place, such as - draft particulars and brochures in terms of property misdescriptions are signed off, EPCs and floor plans are ready and money laundering checks have been verified, thus ensuring a rapid turn around in the commencement of your property’s advertising in the newspaper and property search engines, and if wanted the erection of a ‘for sale’ board. This Low Key Marketing solution also gives an answer to the other common concern we quite regularly hear from our local clients, friends and neighbours, some of whom are concerned about the big step of moving. This is further impacted in this area as there is such a close community spirit, which can mean people sometimes feel awkward when deciding to put their house on the market especially if they aren’t keen for everyone to hear about it just yet. This solution helps take the pressure off and let’s people take their time in moving but gets things quietly underway for when they find the right place. Call us now on 01403 734200 to find out more. If you would like to contact Address Estate Agents to see how we can help with your property sale or rental, or to pose a question for this column in the future, then please call us on 01403 734200, email us at info@ addressestateagents.co.uk or log onto our website www. addressestateagents.co.uk

Clive Hancocks Director Mortgage Solutions

One of the major areas that landlords need help with is inventories. With the right inventory, both landlords and tenants are protected and covered for fair wear and tear, damage and cleaning costs. It is the best way to avoid arguments about what was or wasn’t in a rented property and means that the condition of the property is clear. In 2010, the Dispute Service (TDS) reported a huge rise in the number of tenancy deposit disputes from 577 in 2007-2008, to 6,284 in 2008-2009 and to 11,613 in 2009-10. In over 90 per cent of cases at the Mydeposits deposit scheme where awards were made against the landlord, the key reasons were lack of inventories, check ins and check outs.

“Research conducted by the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) has concluded that there are a number of benefits to consumers who visit a consultancy or broker as their chosen place to find a mortgage as opposed to a high street lender”, says Clive Hancocks, Director of Mortgage Solutions Limited in Horsham. “When looking for a mortgage, customers have no shortage of information available in the market place both within newspapers and the internet, but they still need to wade through this to determine what suits their needs. This is where an independent consultant can really help as they have access to the entire mortgage market and are best placed to scrutinise the choice available on the customer’s behalf to make a recommendation. The majority of brokers provide “advice and recommendation” which differs from many high street lenders who provide information only. What this means for the customer is that a broker will determine what is the right solution for an individual’s needs and provide a written recommendation detailing how and why the product is right for the client. An information only proposition offered by many high street lenders will provide the customer with a product, or several products, and leave them to determine the right solution. Choosing the wrong product could at best be costly. A saving of just 1% on your current interest rate would mean you pay £30,000 less over a 25 year term based on an interest-only mortgage of £125,000, so the cost of a mistake is significant. Many customers have what are termed by lenders as specialist or non-conforming requirements. This may be as a result of the type of employment they are engaged in or as a consequence of previous financial difficulties. Many high street lenders do not provide products within this sector of the market and research shows that the vast majority of these types of mortgages are arranged by mortgage brokers. Despite current market conditions, we still have access to thousands of products including exclusive deals, many of which are not available directly from lenders, and this equips us to meet most clients’ requirements. We provide a clearly defined service and offer convenience in the sense that we will be acting on behalf of the customer. We will scrutinise all of that data on behalf of the client, ascertain needs, make a recommendation as to what is most suitable, arrange the paperwork, submit and manage the application (usually on-line) and liaise with the lender throughout the process and beyond completion on behalf of our clients, to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible.

Q A

Is it necessary to provide my Tenants with an Inventory at the start of a tenancy?

The inventory and schedule of condition should itemise every wall, flooring and surface, clearly describing its condition, so there can be no dispute at the end of the tenancy. The cleanliness of each room and tidiness of the garden at the start of the tenancy needs to also be noted in complete accuracy. It is worth remembering that an inventory is a binding legal document that provides an accurate written record of the condition and contents of a property at the beginning of a tenancy.

Cleaning is a contentious and emotive issue. Soiling or staining to any degree is not considered to be fair wear and tear. Landlords cannot expect “new for old” when something is damaged as everything has an expectancy of useful life and will need to be replaced periodically at the landlords’ expense. Tenants have a duty to return the property at the end of the tenancy in a condition consistent with that described on the inventory. This is why it is vital for landlords to have detailed and accurate documentation to show the condition the property was in at the start of the tenancy in order to assess whether its condition is consistent.

Leaders Limited employ experienced Property Inspectors who are fully trained in compiling inventories and conducting check-outs at the end of tenancies. For further information and advice about any aspect of letting or renting contact 01403 217585 or email horsham@ leaders.co.uk

Property

Landlords - why pay more? Independent letting agents Munslow Bailey Gray report that the lettings market in Horsham has been extremely buoyant over the past few months and there is now a distinct lack of property available to let in the town. Whilst this is proving to be very frustrating for people wishing to rent property in Horsham it is great news for landlords and would be landlords looking to acquire investment properties. Elaine Gray, the specialist Lettings Partner at Munslow Bailey Gray said “I often ask our existing clients what

they appreciate about our service as their agent? In the majority of cases the feedback is our reliable and honest service, the certainty that we are always acting in their best interest, our transparent fee structure and the open dialogue we have at all times, but most of all they are getting a premium service at one of the most competitive rates in the Horsham!” She went on to say “I aim to give our Landlords all of the above, and more. I think that transparency, honesty and integrity are the most important aspects of our business, and in the current economic climate, they

are worth their weight in gold. “As well as a fantastic service, we are currently fully managing properties for an unbelievable 7 ½%. “In addition to this, we are giving new landlords the first 3 months fully managed FREE. If that wasn’t already a great offer, it is topped off by the service also being VAT Free for a limited period. “Any Landlords, or potential Landlords who would like to discuss this, are very welcome to either call us on 01403 267530 or email elaine@mbgproperties.com or simply just drop in to the office for a coffee and a chat”

New Vauxhall models spring into showrooms this March

Olli Nott Motors Reporter

olli@the-resident.co.uk

Can anyone name the current Vauxhall family? It’s about to get bigger as Vauxhall is hitting the car market with four shots of new product – Antara, Corsa MCE, Astra ES Tech and VXR8 – all in time for March’s new 11 registration. All four models will benefit from Vauxhall’s groundbreaking 100,000 mile Lifetime Warranty. Available to order now, Vauxhall’s rugged Antara SUV has received a fresh look inside and out and an allnew, efficient and powerful engine. Prices for the Antara now start from

£19,995 for the 2.2 CDTi (163PS) Exclusiv front-wheel-drive model; now saving £2,835 on the outgoing entrylevel version. Also in showrooms will be the latest Corsa, which has received a large overhaul of design enhancements to complement the chassis and engine changes made to the big-selling supermini last year. There’s also an exciting new colour palette available, which includes fresh tones like pearlescent Lime Green, metallic Chilli Orange and Guacamole. And for London commuters the Corsa news gets better. Eight models from the range are eligible for London’s new ‘Greener Vehicle Discount’, which came into force last month and promises drivers of Euro 5-compliant cars emitting

100g/km or less total exemption from the Congestion Charge. Look over to the Astra and a new model is set to take on the new Ford Focus and Mark 6 Volkswagen Golf in the highly sought after value-stakes. Named the ES Tech, it starts at just £18,110 for a140PS 1.4-litre Turbo model and comes with a CD500 Satnav system, Bluetooth, DAB radio, 17-inch alloy wheels and air-con as standard. If you’re a more fuel conscious driver, Diesel buyers can enjoy the 125PS 1.7 CDTi engine for only £19,530, and with sub–120g/km emissions, this version is one of Vauxhall’s growing range of award-winning ecoFLEX engines. For drivers after a little more

power, a new version of the highly acclaimed VXR8 is ready for order. Packing a cool 431PS, the mighty VXR8 muscle car has heavily revised front- and rear-end styling, a new cabin and an array of new technology to enhance its appeal to drivers in search of one of the last, great reardrive V8 super-saloons. Priced at £49,500, the new VXR8 is available to order through six highly specialist VXR dealers in the UK, Horsham’s nearest being Frosts of Shoreham. To find out more about the exciting new models Vauxhall has to offer, just stop in at Steven’s Vauxhall in Broadbridge Heath. Don’t forget about the 100,000 mile Lifetime Warranty!

The 1.6-litre EcoBoost petrol engine in the new Ford Focus has been acoustically tuned to produce an impressively sporty growl under hard acceleration. It features special technology that filters out unwanted engine noises, while transmitting pleasing sounds straight inside the car for maximum driver enjoyment. Ford’s 1.6-litre EcoBoost is one of the most technologically advanced engines in production, combining high-pressure direct injection, a

low-inertia turbo, plus twin independent variable camshaft timing. These three features give the EcoBoost the power and torque of a much larger engine without the size, weight and fuel economy penalties. There is, however, one slight downside to this technology. Turbocharging inevitably muffles an engine’s natural voice, especially higher up the rev range. Floor the throttle in any turbocharged car and the whooshing noise of the turbo will overpower the more rewarding

sound of the engine. Ford’s engineers have overcome this aural obstacle in the new Focus by adding a small, but hugely effective gadget called a “sound symposer” to the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine. The symposer is a sound box that harvests good, engine-generated frequencies from the air intake system and then sends these sound frequencies straight into the passenger compartment giving your ears a nicer acoustic than that of the latest Black Eyed Peas track.

All new Ford Focus: the art of noise

Take a longer look at the Audi A8 Audi, one of the world’s leading manufacturers in the luxury segment, have finally released their Long-Wheelbase version of the A8 – due to land at UK Dealerships soon. The A8L will be available with a range of five engines; two diesel engines, a 3.0 litre TDI with 250ps and a 4.2 litre TDI giving 350ps and three petrol power -plants: a supercharged 3.0 litre TFSI (290ps) the 4.2 litre TFSI (372ps) and the fantastic 6.3 litre W12 (500ps) The W12 is exclusive to the A8L, and can power to 62 mph in just 4.7 seconds, and cruise calmly, when you’re allowed, to a restricted top speed of 155mph. With the help of the new FSI technology, the W12 can muster 22.8 mpg on a combined cycle, which is overall 9 per cent better than the outgoing model. The new range starts from £60,010 OTR for the 3.0 litre TDI in SE spec, with the flagship W12 costing a “mere” £94,640 OTR. But if you want to know you’re getting your money’s worth; the A8L now has a 130mm longer wheelbase and body length, incorporated at the rear of the car to maximize passenger comfort. So it’s definitely worth it!

Škoda Auto grows 26.4% in January It has been strong start to the New Year for Škoda Auto with 68,400 units sold. The Czech manufacturer’s sales rose 26.4% in January of 2011 when compared to the previous year (54,100 units in Jan 2010). The Fabia (30% increase) and Superb (80% increase) have seen a surge in demand. The source of this additional demand can be partially attributed to doubledigit increases in the growth regions of China, India, and Russia. “Škoda consistently and emphatically continues on its course in 2011” explained Jürgen Stackmann, the Škoda board member for sales and marketing. “We are focusing on a clear goal and want to at least double our sales by 2018. Our performance in the growth regions continues to be above average. Particularly positive is the good performance of the Fabia, which has won many new customers worldwide. In India, every second Škoda sold was a Fabia.”

Time to salute the Bury 8 It’s better from Horsham but where will their next victory come from? hornetsreview.co.uk Football

A much-improved performance, but an all-too-familiar outcome, saw the Hornets and their eight fans return empty-handed from the long midweek trip to Suffolk. High-flying Bury broke the deadlock after 25 minutes, but not before a moment of controversy that had the travelling faithful fearing the worst. A pass down the right teased Mark Zawadski out of his goal, but the goalkeeper was second to the ball and clattered Lee Reed. As home supporters called for a red card, referee Mike George instead issued a yellow. Zawadski may have thought himself lucky to stay on. Greater punishment was to follow when Reed swung in the free kick, Sam Nunn headed onto the crossbar and former Ipswich Town star James Scowcroft netted the rebound. Shane Graham showed some real moments of promise for Horsham, including a fabulous left foot, right foot shuffle that completely outfoxed the Bury defence. Reed had the chance to head at goal when a Scowcroft cross was mishandled by Zawadski, but the impressive Tom Graves was on hand to clear off the line. Horsham’s only effort on target came courtesy of Charman, but his diving header from Anthony Storey’s crossfield ball went straight at Nick Pope. Bury’s second substitution was quickly followed by a second goal. Slick passing released Kieran Leabon, whose cross was agonisingly diverted in by Graves for an own goal. There was a scare for Gary

Charman, who left the field with double vision after receiving an elbow to the face, before Scowcroft had the final word with a well-struck longrange effort just a foot wide. The heavy rain at Bury contrasted with the winter sun at Gorings Mead, where Horsham gained a much-needed point against Margate on Saturday. Storey released Charman to put the Hornets in front soon after the break, but Tom Bradbook equalised 11 minutes later and Ben Andrews sustained suspected ligament damage when falling awkwardly. Andrews’ injury was a desperate end to a week that had yielded two heavy defeats, seen Lee Carey join East Grinstead Town and Jamie Cade sidelined for at least a month. But Maggs said: “Credit to the lads. We tightened up at the back and it was 200 per cent better than our last two games.” Horsham visit Burgess Hill Town in the Sussex Senior Cup on Tuesday, two wins away from an historic final at the American Express Community Stadium, Falmer.

Nick’s 6 of the best as Horsham under-13s run riot Nick Bristow scored six times as Horsham U13 hammered Rustington Otters U13 8-0. On a weekend when Ben Cripps netted four times for Roffey Robins Athletic U13, Bristow went two better with a remarkable display of marksmanship for Richard Wootton’s rampant side. It took him only two minutes to score with a looping header from Jack Reeves’ cross and another four minutes to net again after good work by Alfie Carter and Finn Bigg. Bristow thought he had completed a hat-trick after 10 minutes, only to be ruled offside. But he did complete his treble two minutes later, again thanks to Carter and Bigg, and made it 4-0 after Ali Kerr beat two defenders. Horsham’s defence of Carter, the

unflappable Louis Lewis, Tom Summerfield and Lewis Reeves were dealing with any sign of danger, but Bristow was on a one-boy goal mission at the other end.

Remarkably he continued the rout just before the break, set up by Bigg and Jack Reeves. Half time: Bristow and his helpers 5, Rustington 0. Bigg was next on the scoresheet, smashing in after a good interception by Jack Reeves, but normal service was resumed as Bristow added his sixth and Horsham’s seventh. It was 63 minutes before probably the best individual goal of the game, Charlie Belton controlling the ball on his thigh before volleying into the far corner from the edge of the area. This was probably Horsham’s best team performance of the season, but there was no disguising the undoubted star of the show.

The scheduled matches involving Horsham U15 and Horsham U14 were postponed.

It’s less than serene but Swans win war of attrition Nick Hind Football

the-resident.co.uk/sport

Miserly Storrington made it two wins on the bounce with another display of robust defending and precision finishing. Up to seventh after seeing off lively Littlehampton, the Swans continue to carve out a reputation as an ‘absorb and blitz’ team. Niggling tackles set the tone from the off, but through the haze of testosterone it was Storrington who kept their eyes on the prize in the early exchanges. And the home side went ahead

after 15 minutes, Richard Maymon’s scuffed shot just squeezing in when Town failed to clear a corner. With bodies and tackles flying in from all angles, it was unclear whether I was at a football match or a WWE showdown. Chances were at a premium as petulant tackles expanded into an all-out war of attrition. Step up Tim Martin to remind the

crowd what they were watching. The striker sprang to life to claim a cracking double either side of half time, taking his season’s tally to an impressive 18. First he stooped to get the angle needed on his header, then he polished off a fine through ball from Craig Grantham with real authority. Town responded by pushing skipper Ross McKay up top, but the Golds were unable to force the issue as good opportunities flew high and wide. Dave Gaskin, Nathan Peacock, Carl Stocker and Peter Beadle all went close, but good defensive pressure and smart saves by Keiron Gillard kept the misfiring Golds at bay until Daryl Wollers grabbed a consolation

with a header. Swans manager Ricky Hamilton admitted his side may have stepped off the gas after their third goal, but he stressed: “First and foremost we set up not to concede. This is a results business and I have no problem with winning ugly.” Town boss John Suter said: “We created a glut of chances, but sometimes you have to force the ball into the goal. Fortune was not on our side.”

Four goals for Heath but ‘soft’ late penalty frustrates YMCA Horsham YMCA were seconds away from their first away win of the season, only to be thwarted by a controversial stoppage-time penalty. Ramsgate made it 2-2 after Glen Woodburn was penalised for a push, but YM boss John Cumberbatch branded the decision “ridiculously soft” and questioned how much time was added on. YM seemed on course for a muchneeded and deserved success after goals by Kieran Mercer and Dayo Oshitola. Daniel Attwater scored three times – twice for his own side, once for the opposition – as dominant Broadbridge

Heath beat Ifield Edwards 4-1 in the Sussex County League. Attwater smashed in a penalty to finally break the deadlock after half an hour, but the same player deflected a shot past his own goalkeeper to put Ifield back on terms before half time. Miles Hamilton edged Heath back in front, speedy striker Jamal Sultan walked the ball past keeper David Condon for their third and Attwater struck again at the right end.

Steyning’s match at AFC Uckfield and Forest’s home game against Dorking Wanderers were postponed due to waterlogged pitches, but TD Shipley lost 2-1 at Uckfield Town.

Holbrook don’t Sporne opportunity to turn up the heat Holbrook collected a four-try bonus point, leapfrogging their opponents while moving from fourth to second in Sussex Spitfire League 1. And Doug Lavender-Brown was full of praise for his side after a solid performance by the pack and three tries by Ash Sporne. The head coach said: “The forwards grafted well and gave clean ball to our backs, who looked fluid in attack and put in an especially slick performance in defence. I can’t recall a single break through our defence in midfield. “Hastings and Bexhill were demoted from London 3 last year, so to give a performance over this experienced team can only suggest a promising future for Holbrook Rugby.”

’

The first try came after 15 minutes. A clearance kick by Hastings was gathered by full back Dan Stockdale who showed his pace, beating several defenders before handing on to Sporne. Quick recycling saw the ball moved across to the other wing where Rich Brooker opened the scoring. Thirteen minutes later Stockdale was again the catalyst when he collected another kick, this time launching Sporne on halfway to outpace the defence for Holbrook’s second try.

Straight from the restart, Hastings pulled one back with a converted try scored from a tap penalty to take the score to 10-7. Holbrook regrouped and a flowing three-quarter move, straight off the training ground, saw Stockdale deliver a scoring pass to Brooker on the left wing. 15-7. Again straight from the restart, Hastings pressured Holbrook and scored an unconverted try, making it 15-12 at half time. Reinvigorated by their late try, Hastings began the second half full of energy and determination and spent 10 minutes applying enormous pressure on the Holbrook line. But Holbrook’s defence held firm, with all players tackling well and putting in some big hits on a wellorganised Hastings side. Relief so very nearly came after 10 minutes when a rare breakout, led by the forwards, once again saw the Holbrook backs produce a flowing move to release Brooker 45 yards out. Superb covering defence by the Hastings full back allowed him to make a try-saving tackle just 10 yards out. A pass out of the tackle to Sporne was adjudged forward and a muchneeded try dissallowed. Holbrook made up for this with another try by Sporne, but Hastings again hit back to take the score to 20-19 and leave the spectators with a nervous 15 minutes. With just three minutes left, Sporne sprinted in for his third try, this time under the posts, and Brooker converted to give Holbrook an eight-point cushion. Desperate for a bonus point,

Hastings threw everything into it during seven minutes of stoppage time and camped on the Holbrook try line. But Holbrook showed true grit, withstanding wave after wave of attacks as the midfield defence stood out with their tackling. Hastings’ desperation finally led to a relieving penalty and Brooker gratefully kicked the ball into touch to seal a hardfought win.

Palmer happy with GP2 debut Southwater’s Jolyon Palmer impressed on his GP2 Asia debut in Abu Dhabi, finishing 14th and 10th to end the weekend as top rookie. Palmer said he was “pretty satisfied” by his performance in the “very tough” world of GP2, seen as a feeder series for Formula One. He said: “Testing had gone reasonably well, but you never really find out where you are in terms of pace until the first weekend. “Practice was a new experience for me because it was just 30 minutes to fine tune the car before qualifying and the track had changed significantly from the four days of testing. “Qualifying didn’t go to plan as I struggled a lot on braking and with many big braking zones I was 18th on the grid. “Race one started well and I managed to move up at the start. But because I started on my qualifying tyres they were heavily flat spotted and it made braking difficult. “After my stop I was enjoying coming through the field and was pleased to pass James Jakes and Michael Herck, though I was annoyed to then get

hit and spun round by Herck. “I lost seven seconds and three places but enjoyed fighting back, closing the gap and overtaking Jakes and Jonny Cecotto again to get a satisfying 14th by the flag. “Race two was a serious lesson in tyre management – I have a bit to learn! I was pleased to make another

good start and had some good scraps on the first lap, but I overworked my tyres and the rears went off. “I managed to hang on to 12th, which became 10th after a couple of drivers were penalised.” Palmer and his Arden team are in Bahrain for the next round (February 17-19).

Carolynn Watson saves Eastbourne’s final penalty flick

Horsham Girls U18 are through to the quarter-finals of the Plate after beating Eastbourne in a thrilling encounter at Broadbridge Heath. Horsham won on penalty flicks after a 2-2 draw, setting up a last-eight clash with Witney on March 6.

With Horsham taking control and dominating the opening exchanges, it was no surprise when Louisa Denman opened the scoring with a fine goal after just six minutes. But moments later the home side were caught off guard and Eastbourne equalised. Horsham had several chances, but good defending from the visitors kept the score to 1-1 at half time. Eastbourne came out in the second half with all guns blazing and scored early to take a 2-1 lead, but Horsham kept up the pressure and were finally rewarded by Denman’s equaliser in the 52nd minute. Some great clearances off the line

by the Eastbourne backs denied Horsham in the final quarter as the tie went to penalty flicks. And with Horsham 4-3 up in the shootout, Carolynn Watson made an amazing diving save to her right.

Matthew Blogg scored a hat-trick, Zac Chinn two and Peter Rayward another as Horsham Hotshots mauled Lewes Lions 6-1 with a brilliant performance. Goal of the game was Blogg’s third, set up by James Rayward, Noah Chinn and brother Zac Chinn. Despite playing out of position, Peter Neave was confident in goal and made two excellent saves.

Ben is four-midable as Robins fly into last 4 Four-goal Ben Cripps helped fire Roffey Robins Athletic into the last four of the Plate, then declared: “We can win it!” The Forest School pupil, who finished the match at Horsham Park in goal, has 19 goals for the season after going one better than his previous best hat-trick. He said: “The thrill of scoring four goals in one half is just brilliant and the team’s performance was really good after conceding the first goal. “I think as long as we play like we did today we’ve got a pretty good chance of winning the competition.” Robins, who play a division higher than Heron Olympic, fell behind to Emmanuel Nyoni’s early goal but hit back to lead 7-1 by half time. Destroyer-in-chief Cripps opened his account from James Hill’s pass before Tom Tweedy found the net against his former team with what looked suspiciously like a cross. Matthew Ambler-Braid set up

Cripps for his second, a quick-fire double by Alex Glossop made it 5-1 and Cripps added two more as Robins threatened to hit double figures. Olympic deserve credit for a spirited performance in a goalless second half, though it is fair to say they were aided by the slope and, more significantly, several Robins substitutions. One of those to make way at half time, Cripps returned to the action midway through the second period – this time in goal, where he was rarely troubled. Regular goalkeeper Lee Harris did well to thwart Nyoni before the change of gloveman and Alasdair Hainsworth shot over as Olympic fought to the end.

Henry at the double for Broadbridge Heath youngsters Broadbridge Heath U18 recorded a fine 4-1 win against Worthing Minors U18 in driving wind and rain. An excellent passing move sent Ben Cave clear to smash home the opener and Heath nearly doubled their lead when Sam Bulley’s free kick crashed back off the crossbar. Minors levelled from long range, but the persistent Henry Liley cut inside two defenders before cooly slotting Heath’s second. And with Bulley and Tim Mapstone

bossing the midfield, they went further ahead through Liley’s chip after a neat through ball by Ollie Filkins. George Moore claimed the goal of the game, striding forward and unleashing a 40-yard screamer to complete the scoring before half time. Southwater U18 put in a strong performance to hold Lavant U18 2-2. The excellent Luke Holmwood saw a shot cleared off the line before Southwater took the lead, Zak Moore

releasing James Amankwaa to score at the second attempt. Calum Laver cleared off the line, but Lavant went 2-1 up and it needed a late own goal from Ryan Grimes’ cross to clinch a well-deserved point for Southwater.

Southwater U16 stay top of the league after winning 2-1 at title challengers PW Colts U16, thanks to Zach Haulkham’s 30-yard free kick and Ben Chowney’s second.

Royal United U15 reached the Fred Sparks Cup final by winning 4-0 at Twin Oaks U15. Jake Legrange scored from two headers while Stanley Rice and Connor Cushing also netted.

Roffey Robins Athletic U15 won 1-0 at Storrington Vipers U15 in a more attacking match than it looks. George Hole hit the crossbar and Andy Killner made a great save at the other end before Matt Sigrist’s

blocked shot rebounded to Dan Goddard for the only goal.

Lower Beeding Lions U14 drew 3-3 against Broadbridge Heath U14. Lions opened the scoring with a well-worked goal, finished by Matt Streeter, but Heath dominated for long spells and led 2-1 at half time. Andrew Roberts converted a controversial penalty before Jared Ashmole put Lions back in front and Heath grabbed a late equaliser.
