COMMENT

HAVE YOUR SAY ON INCINERATOR

I

n case you are not aware there is going to be an appeal to build an industrial incinerator at the former Wealden Brickworks, Langhurstwood Road, Horsham. The developer plans to import up to 230,000 tonnes per year of commercial and industrial waste from across 6 counties. On page 10 you can read about the recent meeting that was held by No Incinerator 4 Horsham Community Group (Ni4H) to formalise how communities can fight the incinerator appeal.

The original application (No. WSCC/015/18/NH) was refused on 11th July 2018 by West Sussex County Council for 6 reasons, referencing the county waste strategy. The developer has not demonstrated that the facility is needed to maintain net self-sufficiency to manage the

transfer, recycling and treatment of waste generated within West Sussex plus the development would have an unacceptable impact on landscape and the visual amenity of the area, on highway capacity, residential amenity and public health. The development, along with other existing, allocated and permitted development, including the North of Horsham development, would result in adverse cumulative impacts.

At this stage you can help by contributing to the Ni4H fighting fund and adding your name to the petition. You can find more details on how to do this by visiting www.ni4h.org Richard Milbourn, Editor E: editor@horshampublications.com

NORTH HORSHAM PARISH COUNCIL

BECOME A LOCAL COUNCILLOR Make a change‌.become a local Councillor. If you care about where you live and are passionate about your community, we need you.

T

he Parish Council has made proactive representations on behalf of the local community on several significant issues relating to development affecting North Horsham over the last couple of months. Whilst the Parish Council had no objection to housing and employment opportunities being developed on the former Novartis site on Parsonage Road, there were serious concerns about the lack of associated infrastructure and the knock-on effect to residents. The Parish Council continued to object to the proposed incinerator at Langhurstwood Road. There is insufficient information regarding the impact that emissions resulting from potential development at Gatwick Airport and additional development in and around Horsham may have on air quality, especially for those residents who may live on the development north of Horsham and for the children attending schools in the close vicinity of the proposed incinerator. For fuller responses to the planning applications see the Parish Council website.

The Parish Council responded to the consultation on the Gatwick Masterplan, supporting development at the airport as it brings employment opportunities for those living in North Horsham. However,

MAR/APR 2019

there was serious concern that the current infrastructure would not support the potential growth, especially public transport links which are poor and often unreliable.

The Annual Parish Meeting will be held on Monday 15th April 2019‌ look out for more details on our notice boards.

More information about North Horsham Parish Council can be found on the Parish Council website www.northhorshampc.gov.uk, or contact the Parish Council through the Clerk on 01403 750786, e-mail parish.clerk@northhorsham-pc.gov.uk.

WARNHAM DISCOVERY HUB

NATURE RESERVE ATTRACTS EU FUNDING

H

orsham District Council is celebrating with the Friends of Warnham Nature Reserve, as plans for a new Discovery Hub at Warnham Local Nature Reserve have been given the go-ahead.

The Council has been awarded some £278,000 by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development who support investment in public recreational infrastructure.

Additional funding from both the Council and the Friends of Warnham Local Nature Reserve (right) is being added to the project with grants of £90,000 and £10,000 respectively.

The current site on Warnham Road, Horsham was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1987 and has grown in popularity ever since. Already home to a small visitor centre and café, the addition of the Discovery Hub will draw visitors from across the District and beyond.

The Discovery Hub (artists impression above), will boast a unique octagonal design created from wood and one-way glass. Large panoramic windows will offer breathtaking views across the Nature Reserve’s millpond. The space will be used for both educational and leisure purposes and will tell the story of the industrial, natural and social heritage of this important nature and conservation reserve.

“We are delighted that the Discovery Hub has been given the green light with EU funding” explained Councillor Jonathan Chowen, Horsham

12

MAR/APR 2019

District Council Cabinet Member for Community and Culture. He continued: “The team have worked closely with the Friends of Warnham Local Nature Reserve, the general public and the funding authority to make a robust case for this important addition to the Horsham District.

The discovery trail is due to be completed by June 2019, with structural work on the Discovery Hub scheduled to start towards the end of the summer. Once underway, the project should take three months to complete with the reserve remaining open to the public for most of the time and disruption kept to a minimum.

The whole project is due to be completed and officially opened at the end of the year in celebration of the Horsham District Year of Culture 2019.

To read all the latest news on the progress of the Discovery Hub, please visit www.horsham.gov.uk /warnhamdiscoveryhub and receive regular updates by signing up to our dedicated newsletter at www.horsham.gov.uk/ parksandcountryside/parks-and-countryside .

LIKE A COUPLE OF INTERTWINING VINES

By John Snelling

St Mary’s Parish Church from a postcard, Horsham early 1900s.

H

orsham’s oldest surviving institution is surely the Church, and St.Mary’s is the (we hope) enduring symbol of it. But where must we look to find the runner-up in the Horsham History Stakes? Surely, the prize money for second place must go to Collyer’s, formerly ‘The Grammar School’, now the College of Richard Collyer in Horsham. The foundation date of Collyer’s is reckoned to be 1532, the year that Richard Collyer (or Collier) signed the will that endowed his school. So one need not have attended Collyer’s to work out that Collyer’s the institution is about half the age of the Parish Church. Over the centuries both institutions have grown in Horsham like a couple of intertwining vines, and both have developed and changed over the centuries to such an extent that Richard Collyer and Roger of Wallingford (the first identified Vicar) would be astonished to see their respective institutions today. Collyer never saw his at all, of course - such is the fate of all testatory benefactors!

It is tempting to muse that Richard Collyer’s

22

The ‘new’ Collyer’s School from 1893.

story is one of ‘rags to riches’, and it probably is. He was born in or around Horsham, and is first heard of on his way up as a merchant in the Mercers’ Company, the great City guild that today is the premier City livery company and one of great beneficence and substance.

By the time Collyer made his will he also had amassed wealth and property, and, motivated by the spirit of the age, ‘Christian charity’ featured prominently in his will.

One of his many bequests was to build a school-house for sixty Horsham boys, and although the Mercers were to be the trustees of the funds, the Vicar and Churchwardens of Horsham were to be responsible for the school’s management, which included the selection of the scholars and the appointment of the headmaster and usher. Thus it was that the Church in Horsham became deeply involved in the birth of Collyer’s, and played a major part in its development through the following centuries.

LIKE A COUPLE OF INTERTWINING VINES

Although by 1532 Henry’s row with the Pope was near to boiling over, the Catholic piety underlying Collyer’s will is unmistakable. He not only left money for the Horsham clergy to pray for his soul, but also, as a quid pro quo for being educated, desired that the children at the school should do the same. The vicissitudes of the school and its relations with the Church, the people of Horsham, and the Mercers’ Company are chronicled by the late Austin Willson in his scholarly and entertaining work, A History of Collyer’s School 1532 to 1964, a treasure trove that has been shamelessly plundered to produce this article. (Somehow, I don’t think he would mind, as he was my own history master during my time at Collyer’s, and is universally remembered with great affection.)

When the Grammar School was eventually built, as befits a school with close links with the Church, it lay almost within the shadow of St.Mary’s, roughly on the site of today’s St.Mary’s School. In spite of alteration and re-building, the School finally outgrew its premises in Denne Road, and new buildings were opened on its present Hurst Road site in the April of 1893.

The School adopted the insignia of the Mercers’ Company, ‘The Maiden’, with the motto Honor Deo. This most ancient of symbols, probably dating back to early in the Fourteenth Century, was once thought to depict The Virgin, and it would have made a neat conclusion to highlight the connexion between St.Mary’s Church, the Company and its Virgin, and Collyer’s. But alas and alack!

The Maiden probably started out as a trade sign to symbolize the Mercers’ wares, honouring the ladies who made them, and the wealthier ones who would be wearing them. In spite of the now supposed secular origin of the Collyer’s erstwhile ‘Virgin’, the school has nevertheless done its bit to swell

That’s how much you, as a West Sussex resident, could expect to pay for your care in a residential or nursing care home.

Choosing care for yourself, or supporting a family member to do so, is a lifechanging and important decision to take.

It’s vital that you seek trusted independent specialist financial advice.

Don’t leave it to chance that your finances will meet the cost of your care.

Ease the worry of paying for care The good news is that there is advice and support available to help you with this important financial decision. Carewise offers advice and guidance, so that you can choose the most cost-effective way of paying for your care.

Carewise has an approved panel of care fees specialists who are all qualified independent financial advisers.

They will inform you of the available options and discuss products and services from across the whole market.

Your first consultation with a care fees specialist is free, and they will explain the cost of any further advice.

As part of this scheme, you can also access a free money advice service from Age UK West Sussex.

Take control of your finances It is now even simpler to arrange your FREE consultation with a care fees specialist with our new ‘request a call back’ service. Visit www.carewiseadvice.com where you will find a list of all the care fees specialists, choose the adviser you would like to talk to, and request a call back from them. You will then be contacted within one working day.

Rose’s story by a Carewise care fees specialist I first met 83-year-old Rose in 2005. She was in good mental and physical health, but she had lost confidence about living on her own and wanted to move into a care home.

Once her house was sold, Rose had around £218,000 in available capital. Together, we

reviewed her income and expenditure, and worked out that she would have a shortfall of £16,410 per year in meeting the cost of her care home.

I obtained quotes for an immediate care plan for Rose and recommended she purchase a plan where the payout would

increase by five per cent per year. This would help to cover future increases in care fees at the home.

The income payments were paid to the care home, tax-free. Rose paid £85,925 for the plan.

By 2009, Rose’s care plan had paid for itself. In 2013, the plan had paid out £155,257, which is £69,332 more than she paid for it.

(This is a real case with the name of the customer changed.)

HOW TO KEEP WARM THIS WINTER

H

orsham District Council is offering local residents a completely free service called LEAP (Local Energy Advice Partnership) to help them save money and keep their homes warm and cosy.

The advisor can help check if you are on the cheapest energy tariffs (average savings are £280 a year), install free simple energy saving measures, give you day-to-day energy efficiency hints and tips, and ensure your heating system is set up to keep you

warm and save money. The LEAP advisor will also be able to refer you for grants for heating improvements. LEAP can also arrange a telephone advice service to help with benefits, debt and other money problems.

You may be eligible for a LEAP visit you have a low income, receive tax credits or housing benefit, receive an income or disability related benefit, or have a long term illness or disability.

HORSHAM APPRENTICESHIP FAIR

A

s part of National Apprenticeship Week (4 to 8 March) Horsham District Council, in conjunction with West Sussex County Council, is hosting the Horsham Apprenticeship Fair on Saturday 9 March from 10am to 2pm in the Drill Hall, Denne Road, Horsham.

National Apprenticeship Week is a celebration of all that is good about apprenticeships, with events across the country marking the significant role of apprentices in today’s working environment.

The Horsham Fair this year will see more than 40 apprentice employers and training providers, from a wide variety of sectors, present their opportunities.

The event is free and anyone is welcome to attend. It is a major career route for young people starting out on their careers, but also older, more experienced people are now starting to retrain using apprenticeship courses.

Commenting on the return of the event, Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for the Local Economy Cllr Gordon Lindsay said: “I think it is good news for all people considering an apprenticeship that the Apprenticeship Fair is making a return to Horsham after last year’s successful event.

“Apprenticeship training programmes let you gain real work experience (and earn money) while you learn and at the end you receive a recognised qualification “I believe this event goes a long way to ensuring apprenticeships are represented as a real and meaningful alternative to university entrance and are fast becoming a new route to a different career for experienced workers.”

Horsham District Council, a major local employer, now runs a successful apprenticeship programme with 12 apprentices working across a variety of departments.

This year’s Apprenticeship and Traineeship Fair follows on from last year’s very successful first event, when 34 exhibitors with more than 500 opportunities saw in excess of 1000 visitors attend the event.

Confirmed employers this year include Gatwick Airport, AJW Aviation, Apollo Motor Group, the British Army and RAF, HMRC Border Force, Kier Construction, Metricell, NatWest, Nestle, RSPCA, Sussex Police, Thales, NHS, Brighton and Chichester Universities and Virgin. There will be many more employers and training providers with hundreds of opportunities attending.

HIGHWOOD VILLAGE

BMX PUMP TRACK OPENED

O

n Sunday 10th February, Horsham residents were given a day to remember at the new BMX pump track officially unveiled at Berkeley Homes’ Highwood Village.

Over 400 people watched professional displays throughout the day, with 250 local residents, aged 5 to 60 using demonstration bikes around the track by Hayes Hawks BMX Club. An exciting new sculpture project was also unveiled, which is part of the Horsham District Year of Culture.

Officially opened by Councillor Peter Burgess, Chairman of Horsham District Council, and Ben Annetts, Sales & Marketing Director of Berkeley Homes Southern, the BMX pump track is an off road cycling facility which is suitable for mountain bikers and BMX riders of all ages.

Comprising a circuit of banked turns, the pump track is designed to be ridden without pedalling, as riders ‘pump’ the features using the up and down movement of their body to make forward momentum.

The event also provided residents with the first of many opportunities during the coming year, to get involved in creating an exciting new piece of art. Designed to help develop the community’s identity and sense of place, artist Jon Edgar instructed willing volunteers, including Councillor Burgess, in basic carving skills and encouraged them to get involved with the evolution of the six tonne sculpture. Local resident Ben, aged 10, carved the stone with one of the 20 Global Gruffalo’s being taken to events and countries across the globe, as part of the Horsham District Year of Culture.

Councillor Peter Burgess, Chairman of Horsham District Council, comments: “Berkeley provided the perfect opportunity to bring the Horsham community together, with people keen to watch the demonstrations and ride the BMX pump track throughout the day. This new facility is ideal for riders of all ages across Horsham and

30

the wider area, and I would encourage people to go and give it a try.”

“It was also great to celebrate Horsham’s Year of Culture, with the six-tonne stone unveiled and residents, myself included, helping Jon Edgar start to carve the stone. I look forward to seeing the finished sculpture in 2020.”

Ben Annetts, Sales & Marketing Director of Berkeley Homes Southern, comments: “The launch event has been a great day filled with excitement and community spirit. Highwood Village is a vibrant neighbourhood and today has captured this perfectly. At Berkeley Homes, we like to encourage community engagement and would like to welcome the wider community to come and enjoy the new BMX pump track.”

Highwood Village creates a vibrant new community with its own identity, comprising stylish one and two-bedroom apartments, as well as beautiful three, four and five-bedroom family houses, all within easy walking distance of Horsham town centre.

Prices at Highwood Village start from £230,000. For further information on the homes and the community day, please contact the marketing suite on Tel: 01403 886 449 or visit www.highwoodvillage.com For more information on the public art project please visit horshamsculpture.wordpress.com

HEARTS FOR HORSHAM St Valantines Day was used to launch a HeART for Horsham campaign: a brand new art trail coming to Sussex and Surrey in 2019 with each heart uniquely designed by local artists to raise money for St Catherine’s Hospice so that more people with a terminal illness can receive the care they need.

A

campaign has been launched to raise money to buy St Catherine’s Hospice Hearts for Horsham so there is a great local trail in Horsham for visitors to follow during HeART to Heart 2019.

In July 2019 St Catherine's Hospice will be introducing HeART to Heart: a brand new art trail coming to West Sussex and East Surrey.

(July 4th to September 19th).

Hearts for Horsham is the name given to the local campaign to raise money to bring a number of hearts to Horsham and District. This will show our community’s support for the charity and help to bring visitors that are seeking out all of the hearts on the trail.

This is a community campaign inspired by the fantastic work that St Catherine's do to support so many life's in the area and is being led by local St Catherine's fundraisers, supported by Horsham District Council and other local organisations.

Deputy leader of Horsham District Council,

32

MAR/APR 2019

Jonathan Chowen is keen to see as many ‘Hearts’ across Horsham District as possible saying, “Quite apart from supporting the amazing work that St.Catherine’s do in our community, the HeART to Heart trail is a fantastic community art project that will add another dimension to Horsham’s own District Year of Culture in 2019” What’s happening?

On Valentine’s Day the Hearts for Horsham campaign was launched to buy fund raising hearts for Horsham.

At the heart of the day was a St. Catherine’s HeART to Heart display on Swan Walk’s mosaic featuring a few of the hearts that could form part of Horsham’s trail along with their prospective artists and fund raisers from the charity. Possible heart locations include Swan Walk, West Street, The Capitol, Waitrose/John Lewis, Horsham Station, The Forum and Horsham Park.

SLINFOLD CONCERT BAND

FANFARE FOR FORTY ANNIVERSARY

S

linfold Concert Band is marking its fortieth birthday this year with a Celebratory Concert in Horsham's Drill Hall in Denne Road on 27th April. The Band is keen to create a party atmosphere, and as well as a selection of pieces which should cater for all musical tastes, a welcome drink and light buffet will be included in the cost of a ticket.

The Band was founded in 1979 by a few musical enthusiasts in the village of Slinfold.

Originally 'Slinfold Brass', the inclusion of woodwind players, many of them local schoolchildren, necessitated a change of name and 'Slinfold Concert Band' was born. Forty years on the Band has grown in both reputation and size, and now numbers around Fifty musicians, although restrictions on space often mean that a smaller Band is required.

The Band’s Musical Director is Christopher Newport. A freelance professional musician, he has played the French Horn with many leading orchestras in venues throughout the UK, and works as a brass teacher in Surrey and West Sussex.

The Band performs all over the South East, and sometimes further afield, on public bandstands, at shows, and various other corporate and private functions. Additionally the Band likes to host its own concerts once or twice a year, and has also performed with local choral groups, including a number of successful fund raising concerts with the choir of St. Mary's, Horsham. In recent years the Band has enjoyed playing in a number of other churches across Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire, and is keen to add to that collection, so please contact us if

36

MAR/APR 2019

you would like to have a concert in your local church!

The Band became a charity in 2015, and is proud of its involvement within the local community. As well as playing at shows and fetes in support of local organisations, members of the Band may often be heard in Horsham and surrounding villages during the Christmas period, when they also enjoy entertaining those in local care homes and day centres.

The Band has amassed a large library, and can call on marches, overtures both classical and modern, excerpts from shows and films, music from the dance band era, pop classics, etc. Ensemble pieces are complemented by solos from all sections of the Band, so whatever the occasion the Band can find a suitable programme.

We hope all our regular supporters, along with those who have not seen the Band before will come along to 'Fanfare for Forty' on 27th. April for what promises to be a great evening. Tickets are £12 for adults, £5 for those aged 18 and under, and are available from our website, wwwslinfoldconcertband.org or from 01403 710015. Our website also has a lot more information about the Band.

HORSHAM CYCLING Horsham District gears up for more healthy bike rides this year

H

orsham District Council’s Sports Development team together with local volunteer ride leaders are set to organise more healthy bikes rides this year following last year’s successful ‘Horsham District Health Rides’ pilot progamme.

'Horsham District Health Rides' are free social bike rides for starter-level cyclists. They are a great way to improve cycling ability, socialise with others and develop new skills. All participants need is a working bicycle and the ability to ride.

The rides are free of charge and are supported by leaders who are trained and experienced to adapt to individual rider needs with aspects such as pacing, helping groups gel together appropriately and keeping people safe.

Following last year’s pilot programme of health rides, rides for 2019 are being offered over a longer period, from February to November, and new rides have been added to the Programme.

Routes around Warnham, via Pedlar’s Way to Southwater and to Sumner’s Pond in Barns Green will be available in addition to the established 6K Shelley ride route and longer two and three hour rides. There will be more emphasis on road riding during winter months and more off-road rides during the summer, spring and autumn.

Anyone wishing to find out more about the Healthy Rides Programme should contact Ian Ford, by email at Ian.ford@horsham.gov.uk or by calling 07764 146338 or visit www.hdsd.org.uk and search ‘Health Rides’.

SLINFORD GOLF CLUB Slinford Four are real aces with rare hole-in-one coup

T

he odds of an amateur golfer making a hole-in-one are 12,500-1, but during 2018, four Slinfold ladies accomplished that golfing rarity. Ann Grain got her hole-inone on the 16th at Slinfold Golf Club, Maggie Jowett hit hers on the second, and Pat Taylor recorded an ace on the 16th.

As the club celebrated the remarkable achievement, they also confirmed that the mysterious fourth hole-in-one hitter wished to remain anonymous. Outgoing lady captain Jeanne Coker said: “It has been a number of years since one of our ladies made a hole-inone at Slinfold, and yet this year we have had four, which is unprecedented. Four aces in a pack is the norm for card games, but for golf it is remarkable.”

Commenting on her year, Coker added: “Four

hole-in-ones during my captaincy has been one of the highlights of an amazing year as captain.

“Also at the top of the list is the sum of £1,400 raised by the ladies section for my chosen charity, Chestnut Tree House. “I give my best wishes to our incoming captain, Jenny Wise, and I am confident that our ladies will give her and her chosen charity, St Catherine’s Hospice, their full support.”

LOCAL AUTHOR JOHN SNELLING

MIXED FRUIT FROM A SUSSEX TREE Local Horsham author and Rotary member, John Snelling, introduces a fascintating collection of his stories, essays, poems and plays, with a dash of history and Sussex.

John Snelling (picture by John Lee).

I

magine if you will a long train journey, during which you start chatting with the stranger opposite and realise later that a couple of hours have passed easily by, full of fascinating anecdote, light and shade, wit and wisdom; an all too rare treat in our hectic but increasingly isolated modern life. You part as new friends, vowing to stay in touch. That is how I felt on reading this little gem of a book for the first time. Storytelling in an easy conversational style.

‘If you want to be a writer, write’ was never more apposite than here. John has clearly been thinking and writing for most of his life, and the range of this collection is impressive. Social comedy, local history, the use of very different voices and some subtle and moving poetry.

The silver thread which runs through it all is that of a devoted and close family within and outside the Anglican church, with some deft pen-portraits of great men and womenwhomade a largely unsung difference tomany lives. As a record of vanished times,

small scale and local, itwill be an ornament to any social history collection, and it fulfils an important role in the fast-disappearing narrative on which future historians and biographers will come to rely.

Amusing, thought-provoking, puckish and intimate by turns, peopled by types whomwewewill all knowfromour own lives, but never stereotypical, this is a quiet celebration of an English life which many of us will recognise with affection and nostalgiawithout everwishing to turn back the clock.

LEGAL ADVICE

PRESERVING FAMILY WEALTH

M

ost couples hope that their estate will pass to their children and grandchildren eventually. But this will not happen for many, unless careful arrangements have been made to protect their assets from being taken towards the end of their life to pay care home fees. The solution to help protect a couple’s estate is a will incorporating a trust. A testamentary trust can only be executed whilst both partners remain alive. Upon death of one partner, their will specifies that their share of the property is placed into trust and names the ultimate beneficiary of this share, normally the children and grandchildren. But under the terms of the trust the surviving partner has the unequivocal right to remain living in the property for the rest of their life. On the death of the other partner the trust

comes to an end and the property passes to the beneficiaries. As the surviving partner does not own the deceased's share of the property it is fully protected for the beneficiaries, so if the surviving partner requires care, or even remarries, this share of the beneficiary's inheritance is protected. If the surviving partner wants to move to another property they can still sell the property and the proceeds be used to purchase a new property; the terms of the trust remain over the new property.

Westminster Law assesses the circumstances of couples and arranges the trust that will provide the best protection for them, their family and their assets. Contact 01483 256625, email info@westminster-law.co.uk or visit www.westminster-law.co.uk

t is tick season again!

Ticks are blood sucking parasites. Adult ticks have eight legs and wait in vegetation for a passing animal to jump onto, they are often found in areas where sheep and deer graze. They bite and as they feed over several days their bodies enlarge and become grey in colour, and then they drop off. Some animals react to the tick bite resulting in an area of localised swelling and inflammation which may become infected and require treatment. Ticks can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis. Lyme disease can affect both dogs and humans in the UK. Dogs may show signs such as loss of appetite, lethargy, painful joints and swollen lymph nodes. Babesiosis is rare in the UK; the parasite invades the dog’s red blood cells causing anaemia.

Ehrlichiosis is not currently present in the UK but is a risk in travelling pets as is Babesiosis. Cats can be infected with Mycoplasma as a result of a tick bite and this parasite can cause anaemia. If you find a tick on your pet it should be removed with a special two pronged tick hook (not tweezers) which you slide under the tick and then gently twist ensuring the body is removed with the head and mouthparts attached. As with most parasites prevention is best and various products are available from your vet to repel or kill ticks including medicated collars, spot-ons and tablets.

Business Tax

Tax Adept ACCOUNTANTS

REVIEWING THE CHANGES TO ENTREPRENEURS’ RELIEF Entrepreneurs’ Relief (ER) is available to taxpayers on the disposal of the whole or part of their business, allowing them to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) at a rate of 10% rather than 20% (subject to a lifetime limit of £10 million).

In the 2018 Autumn Budget, new conditions were introduced to ensure shareholders benefiting from ER have a ‘minimum economic stake in the company’.

be demonstrated by the shareholder. The alternative test asks whether the taxpayer is entitled to 5% of the disposal proceeds in the event of a disposal of the ordinary share capital of the company being sold.

Qualifying companies

New legislation provides relief where a growing company wishes to raise finance by means of the issue of new shares for cash. At present this could result in an individual’s shareholding becoming ‘diluted’, and falling below the 5% required to claim ER.

ER is available on the gains made on the disposals of shares and securities in a trading company or the holding company of a trading group. A trading company is defined as one ‘carrying on trading activities whose activities do not include, to a substantial extent, activities other than trading activities’. Put another way, trade must make up the majority of company activity.

Shareholders making new investments on or after 6 April 2019 will be able to make an election, and treat them as if they had disposed of their shares and immediately reacquired them at market value just before dilution. In order to avoid an immediate CGT bill on this deemed disposal, a further election can be made to defer the gain until such time as the shares are actually sold. ER can then be claimed. The £10 million lifetime limit remains intact, and taxpayers continue to benefit from an annual exempt amount of £12,000 in 2019/20, on which CGT is not due.

How we can help Outlining the new conditions In order to qualify for ER, the taxpayer must be an officer or employee of the company and hold at least 5% of the ordinary share capital, and 5% of the associated voting rights.

Shareholders must now also show they are entitled to at least 5% of the company’s distributable profits and 5% of net assets on the winding up of the company. However, an alternative test is available if these conditions cannot www.taxadept.co.uk

As you can see, the ER rules are particularly complex. If you are considering selling or giving away part or all of your business, please get in touch with us to see if you qualify for ER. Tax Adept offers a range of services which are specifically designed to help you and your business.

You can find further information on tax-saving measures in the Resources section of our website: www.taxadept.co.uk. Please contact us via telephone on 01403 750046, or visit our website.

A HISTORY OF HORSHAM’S PRIVATE SCHOOLS 1887-1990

Manor aerial.

T

oday the fascinating story of the network of Horsham’s private boys and girls schools has been almost wiped from history, like chalk dust from the blackboard. However after nearly twenty years research, former teacher Elizabeth Vaughan, has rescued those faint traces left by the dust of history and created a fascinating story that lights up, like the new digital whiteboard, the history of Horsham’s private schools from 1887-1990. Horsham was a hot bed of private education. Middle class parents were deserting the state system and sending their young to private schools to become the leaders of postWorld War one Britain. Schools such as Horsham College, Springfield Park Preparatory School, Heron’s Ghyll, Forest Grange, Parkfield, The Manor House or St Peter’s School, St John’s College, Causeway School, Gringley are just some of the 21 recorded in the book.

Using first-hand oral and written accounts by former pupils, adverts from the local press, prospectuses and photographs as well as a thorough knowledge of the

52

MAR/APR 2019

town’s history Elizabeth has woven a series of mini essays that tell the history of each school. In addition Liz has added the human touch by using the memories of real pupils – Mrs Monro Higg at the Causeway School wore a pink angora jumper and Miss Neve at Heron’s Ghyll was remembered as having a lovely smile and a good sense of humour. That school targeted the daughters of gentlemen who went hunting with the Horsham and Crawley Hunt, and some of the former pupils were presented at court. This reveals a hidden side to Horsham and how the town functioned in time that is so close, yet so distant in so many ways.

A few of the pupils at these schools went on to achieve national and international fame, including the popular author Hammond Innes who attended Causeway School, Donald Campbell, who later broke eight world water speed records attended The Manor House School opposite, and of course, the actress Virginia Mckenna went to Heron’s Ghyll.

ou may remember, as previously declared in these pages, January, February and March are, controversially, my favourite months. Days get longer, spring is just around the corner and a whole fresh year ahead of us all puts a spring in my step.

Now, I do love a wedding don’t you?

Generally, they are a bit like buses - you know, one comes along about every five years. So far Tim and I have already been invited to six this year, two of our offspring amongst them! Now that is a lot of outfits!

A wedding brings friends and family together with the sharing of food, wine and a general good time - you get to meet new friends and catch up with others that you might not have seen for a while.

At Studio 2 we love to create a culture where we get to know the friends and families of our existing guests - we call it our “introduce a friend program”. I’m sure many of you have taken part in this before.

It works like this; send a relative, friend, team mate, workmate, lover (hello!!), complete stranger who compliments your hair in the supermarket (true story), or anyone that you would like to share a present with and we will reward you both with an amazing 2 for 1 offer*.

We all enjoy a surprise present so please shout about our best kept secret!

ACCOUNTANCY

READY FOR THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION? Teresa Noon from Indigo Tax & Accountancy explains how she’s helping prepare her clients for HMRC’s Making Tax Digital initiative with a simple 3 step approach.

3 STEPS TO SUCCESS FOR YOUR BUSINESS

I

ndigo has set out a simple 3 step approach to running your business. Staying compliant, harnessing the power of ‘cloud’ accounting and allowing control of your finances from anywhere. Teresa explains “Cloud accounting software gives amazing information on how your business is performing, but it has to be kept up to date. Working with our digital accounts team we have developed a simple 3 step plan”.

• INVOICE on Indigo cloud accounting software • SNAP your receipts with the “Snap” App (right) • The Indigo team RECONCILE your bank account monthly

“SUPPORTING OUR CLIENTS IS THE KEY” From tiny beginnings in the 1990s, Indigo Tax & Accountancy now has a 14-strong team serving clients across all sectors including a large performing arts and creative industries division.

The practice is based in Horsham West Sussex.

READY FOR THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION Teresa says, “We have really embraced the digital revolution. HMRC’s Making Tax Digital campaign was obviously a key driver. We currently have over 200 clients using cloud based online bookkeeping software, all new clients are set up on it as standard when they come on board.” With HMRC paving the way to mandatory cloud reporting in the near future and Making Tax Digital for VAT coming into force from April 2019, Indigo’s clients can rest assured they are ALREADY compliant.

Teresa explains, “Collaborating ‘on line’ has always suited our practice. We’ve been a ‘digital’ practice from day one. The Indigo team all work remotely from home, whilst our clients

including musicians, bands, camera operators and producers could be working on location anywhere in the world.” The Indigo team are fully trained and can guide their clients through the process of going digital, helping their business integrate with the right cloud accounting package is an important facet to their service. With a recent nomination for the IRIS National Best Use of Technology Award 2018, the company seem to be making waves in the Industry too. Teresa has also been a panellist at the accounting Industry’s IRIS World and advises on the Kashflow User Group “discussing issues and keeping up to date with other industry professionals is vital” she explains.

With a new tax year starting, Indigo reports a healthy uptake of new client activity. Teresa says, “more and more business owners are now embracing our simple 3 step approach” This forward-thinking company seem to be ready for the digital revolution…are you?

THE ANGEL DELIGHTS

SINGERS PERFECT FOR ANY EVENT

T

his female vocal harmony group formed over 6 years ago, connecting through their love of singing, great music and vintage dresses. Taking inspiration from celebrated vocalists and close harmony singers of the 20th century, their current repertoire ranges from 1920s to 1960s (although they sing more modern songs too and are willing to give anything a go!).

They say, “Our retro set was born out of our passion for the clothes, songs and timeless glamour. We adore singing together and we aim to share that when performing.”

The Angels have been delighted to sing at a wide variety of events; highlights include a blacktie garden party, Ladies Day at the Races, and The West Sussex Poppy Appeal Launch. They are proud to support St Catherine’s Hospice in

Crawley when possible, through performing at their special events, or helping to fundraise, particularly in December. They’re even on board The British Pullman for the once-in-a-lifetime St Catherine’s train ride this spring.

The Angel Delights would bring fun, music and sparkle to any event you’re planning. Email angeldelights1@mail.com or via Facebook

atrick McIntosh isn’t a man afraid of a challenge! Not content with trekking to the South Pole or beating cancer three times, Patrick is taking on his next challenge – his Lifecycle. And supporting his local hospice, St Catherine’s Hospice, in the process.

Patrick is attempting to cycle around the world to raise awareness of the fight against cancer. In May 2019, Patrick will begin his epic cycle ride, taking on a journey of over 7,000 miles to Japan.

Eventually he hopes to go on to circumnavigate the world.

Patrick will cross several continents in a staggered two year journey during his global cycling challenge. In May, he will set off from St Catherine’s Hospice in Malthouse Road, cycling towards Pease Pottage, which will be the site of a new, larger hospice building in years to come.

From there it’s off to Twickenham Stadium before

As part of his cycle ride, Patrick is raising money for the new hospice building. He said, “It’s an honour to support St Catherine’s as part of my next big adventure. As a cancer survivor I know the importance of their vital care. And I want more people to be able to have hospice care in the future so I’m raising money for St Catherine’s new larger hospice.

T I P S F O R S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y

By Jeanette Mercer

W

hatever the weather, Spring has always been the time when thoughts turn to our homes and gardens. The DIY and gardening stores are beckoning, and before we know it we’ve bought some new electric tool and daubed paint from tester pots on a wall. Does creating a more sustainable home mean we shouldn’t be doing this?

Not at all. Change is a part of human nature and our homes and gardens should be places that nurture and refresh us.

To be more sustainable, we just need to think those changes through - we’ll probably save ourselves money too.

Here are our tips for a more sustainable Spring: 1) Plan before you buy or begin. So many home projects end up unfinished, causing stress and wasting materials, through lack of planning. Ask yourself these questions: • Do you have the skills and TIME to complete the project?

• Do you have a realistic budget and timeframe?

• Are you sure what’s the best order for the work you’re planning to do?

(Many local tradespeople are happy to work on projects where a homeowner is doing some of the work themselves and can advise on a sensible order.)

2) Don’t skimp on the quality of materials and tools. Good quality tools can last many years. Good quality materials will often give a better finished result and last longer.

62

MAR/APR 2019

3) Cut the chemicals. Environmental standards were tightened in the paint industry, but there are still some paints that are more eco friendly than others. Go for water based paints and varnishes wherever possible, and those which are low (or even zero) in VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).

As well as reducing the potentially harmful chemicals you and your family are breathing in, water based paints are much easier to clean up after use.

4) Re-use, repair, re-purpose. Some of the satisfying buzz that comes from a well executed DIY project is even better when you know you’ve saved something from ending up at the tip! Our grandparents and great grandparents wouldn’t have dreamt of just disposing of something that was a little broken. If you don’t think you have the skills, Horsham now has a monthly Horsham Repair Cafe, where volunteer repairers will help with repairs.

Recycling is fine, but it still takes energy and public funds to do. Re-use and re-purposing (finding a new use for something) is better. If you don’t need it, local Facebook groups are a great place for asking “can anyone make use of?”

Finally, spring is of course prime time in the garden. If you’ve never grown your own vegetables, why not give it a go this year?

You’d be amazed what even a few pots can hold.
