ARE YOU PREPARED FOR MAKING TAX DIGITAL? Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT represents a significant change in policy for many VAT registered businesses. From 1 April 2019, MTD for VAT will be mandatory for businesses which have a taxable turnover above the VAT registration threshold (currently £85,000). Any business with a taxable turnover of £85,000 after 1 April 2019 must comply with MTD for VAT and must have appropriate digital software in place within 30 days. Taxable turnover does not include supplies that are exempt or outside the scope of VAT but does include zero rated supplies. Once a business has registered for MTD for VAT, it must stay in the system, even if its turnover subsequently falls below the registration threshold. Businesses will remain in the system unless they deregister for VAT. Voluntarily-registered businesses currently below the registration threshold can elect to join MTD for VAT, but are not mandated to do so.

• businesses subject to an insolvency procedure • those who satisfy HMRC that, for reasons of age, disability, remoteness of location or any other reason, it is not reasonably practicable for them to keep business records or submit returns. Certain businesses with ‘more complex requirements’ will be subject to a six-month deferral, and will not be required to use the MTD for VAT system until 1 October 2019. The deferral applies to: not-for-profit organisations that are not set up as a company; trusts; VAT divisions; VAT groups; local authorities; public corporations; and traders based overseas. Public sector entities required to provide additional information on their VAT return, those who must make payments on account, and annual accounting scheme users are also covered by the deferral. MTD will also apply to income tax but this is not expected to take effect until at least April 2020.

Software providers HMRC are not providing software for MTD for VAT. They do, however, list recognised products on the gov.uk site.

Digital records Under MTD for VAT, businesses will be required to keep certain records in a digital format, and must submit their VAT returns via an Application Programming Interface (API). Records to be kept digitally include ‘designatory data’; the VAT account linking primary records and the VAT return; and information about supplies made and received.

Deferrals and exemptions HMRC recognises that certain taxpayers will be unable to comply with the MTD for VAT requirements. Exemptions are limited to: • businesses run by practising members of a religious society or order, with beliefs incompatible with the MTD for VAT regulations www.taxadept.co.uk

How we can help MTD for VAT represents a significant change in the way businesses complete and file their returns. Tax Adept can help you to understand the requirements, and will make sure you are compliant. Our website offers a wealth of information and advice on MTD for VAT: please visit www.taxadept.co.uk.

A No Incinerator 4 Horsham Community Group (Ni4H) spokesperson said: “The meeting was well attended - many thanks to everyone who came along and to all those who sent messages of support. We have a strong, enthusiastic team ready to have fun fundraising and keep busy researching and challenging this appeal.” Ni4H were delighted to meet so many people at the recently held Kinder Living Show and hear their concerns about the proposed incinerator.

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,

APRIL/MAY 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. We are inviting everyone in Horsham to

wear a heart on the day and make a small donation for doing so either at Swan Walk, by coordinating your own collections where you work or via our linked Just Giving Page via www.heartsforhorsham.info Local businesses are encouraged to make donations from their own community funds or through profit share on a popular product on the day or for a period thereafter. The fund raising campaign will run (initially) until 31st March with ‘totalisers’ in Swan Walk, Parkside Council Offices and in the foyer of Waitrose/John Lewis keeping track of our fund raising progress. Each heart needs a sum of £3,500 to be raised so lets get donating and see just how many Hearts Horsham can ‘sponsor’. Look out for more news about fund raising events in local and social media www.heartsforhorsham.info

he first ever Horsham Film Festival culminated in a celebratory awards night, held at Christ’s Hospital Theatre, Horsham on 21 February 2019, with an evening of comedies, dramas, documentaries and animations and live music from the Big Notes choir. The event was organised by Silver Tip Films and staged with support from the Horsham District Year of Culture 2019. Over 120 people attended the event, comprising shortlisted filmmakers, family, friends, supporters and local business figures. Horsham District representation was impressive with winning films coming in the form of: • Horsham Park Run winning Over 18 Best Documentary with its heart-warming story about the Horsham Park Run community. Directed by Mike Hibberd – a first time filmmaker. • Til Tomorrow winning Under 18 Best Drama with a touching story about loss and it’s impact on a young man and his family and friends. Directed by Mattie Boys, star of SKY 1’s “In The Long Run” and also a first time filmmaker. • Sussex Sites taking the Under 18 Best Documentary award for its stunning aerial

landscape shots of famous Sussex locations. Directed by Luke Whatley-Bigg. • Project Kino winning the Under 18 Your District film for its clever and funny story about two people trying to make a film to enter into a film festival…and winning! Directed by Tom Gerrard and starring pupils from Tanbridge House School. • Prey winning the Over 18 Your District film for its slow burn tension, culminating in a genuine shock moment. Filmed in Horsham by local photographer and first time filmmaker Eric Storey. Other winning films included… • The Waters Edge – a visually stunning, underwater-shot short from filmmaker Nick Sneath which took Over 18 Best Drama. • Sticks – a witty realisation of childhood games with twigs and sticks and the many usages for them. Directed by Syd Heather, taking Over 18 Best Comedy. • Flicker – a mix of 2D and 3D animation with beautiful, stunning visuals from filmmaker Conrad Moody, which took Over 18 Best Animation. • The Dark Triad – an 80s spoof action comedy with bad dubbing, from Jake Robinson which took Under 18 Best Comedy.

• The Bridge – a lovingly animated hand drawn piece from children at Maple Walk and Faraday Schools, taking Under 18 Best Animation. Commenting on the success of the festival, Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure Cllr Jonathan Chowen said: “This event was a real triumph and encapsulated all that the Year of Culture is about. “A first for our District, it served as the perfect platform to showcase unique local talent in film making and to highlight many endearing features of our area, its landscape and communities. “This particular Year of Culture event has attracted the largest levels of participation so far with literally thousands of people working many, many hours towards their entries for the overall competition. “It has created a blue print for future film festivals and will create a legacy from the Year of Culture long after the year of celebrations.” Director of Silvertip Films Geoff Cockwill commented: “One of the aims of this festival was to put a focus on the people and stories of the Horsham District and inspire local filmmakers and first time filmmakers to make a film about something close to their hearts. “To have achieved the massive number of entries – and of such high quality – was fantastic. “The event would not have been possible without the support of the Horsham District Year

of Culture and we would like to thank everyone involved for supporting the festival.” The Awards Night was also raising funds via a percentage of each ticket sold for Silvertip Films’ charity partner Springboard. Around £400 was raised for them on the night and the team were on hand to work the Front of House at the theatre and tell people about the excellent work they do for children in West Sussex. The judging panel comprised Geoff Cockwill, director at Silvertip Films, Chris Croucher, producer of Downton Abbey and Davey Pearson, editor of the District Post, who worked their way through the 500 entries to the festival which totalled 47 hours of films. A shortlist of 25 films was eventually arrived at competing in five categories in both the Over 18 and Under 18 age groups. Photographs by Toby Phillips Photography

SLINFOLD CONCERT BAND

FANFARE FOR FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY

S

linfold Concert Band is marking its fortieth birthday this year with a Celebratory Concert in Horsham's Drill Hall on 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

22

APRIL/MAY 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.

t Catherine’s Hospice is calling on local schools, early years learning groups and community groups to get involved in an exciting, large scale art project while supporting their local hospice. Eight schools have already signed up for St Catherine’s Young Heart Project. This is part of the hospice’s HeART to Heart trail, sponsored by Thakeham, which will give visitors a chance to follow a trail of giant hearts across Sussex and Surrey this summer. These hearts will be displayed in the areas St Catherine’s provides people with expert end of life care. And there's still chance for other local schools, early year learning groups and community groups to become a crucial part of the hospice’s trail by joining the Young Hearts project. The project involves school or groups customising a wire heart for display in local spaces such as libraries and shopping centres. Their wire hearts will be displayed alongside larger heart sculptures. These sculptures have been uniquely designed by local artists and individually sponsored by local businesses and organisations. Each wire heart has also been handmade by a local artist and designed to create a beautiful structure that encourages children’s creative freedom. There is also the opportunity for young people to take part in workshops with local artists. Whyteleafe School in Tandridge, Surrey has already signed up to the project. Jenny Taylor, a Year 3 teacher at the school said, “We’re excited to take part in St Catherine’s Young Heart Project and to design a heart for the trail. We’re having a competition for the best designed heart and are looking forward to using our new art studio to give us inspiration. Our school council voted for St Catherine’s as our charity for the year. And we’re looking forward to holding

Abi Harley, Community Fundraiser at St Catherine’s said, “I hope lots of schools and groups will get involved in our exciting art trail. To take part in Young Hearts, we ask your school or group to raise ÂŁ500 or more to for your mini heart. The money you raise will help us care for more terminally ill people and their family and friends in the future. And will help us make sure that in years to come, nobody in our community has to face death and loss alone.“ Ready to open your heart?

ARTIST CAPTURES THE BEAUTY OF CHURCHES War artist captures the beauty of ancient Sussex churches

St Nicolas Church and Priest House, Itchingfield.

A

fter 15 years of painting wars brought about by religious conflict, award winning war artist Gordon Rushmer has turned his brush and palette to capture the exquisite beauty of ancient churches of West Sussex and Horsham District in particular. From detailed observation used to record the minutiae of conflict, from recording the right type of kit worn by soldiers, Gordon’s gaze has turned to record the exact poise of the angel at Boxgrove, or wall plaster at Hardham. The stunning new exhibition Accents on the landscape: Ancient Churches of West Sussex

at Horsham Museum & Art Gallery is not an exercise in replication, but of seeing the churches and their landscape through the eyes of an award winning watercolour artist whose work is held in collections around the world. The exhibition, which opens on 30 March, is a remarkable record; three years in the planning and painting. In visiting the churches, imbibing their charm and creating the essence of what makes them special, Gordon Rushmer has created a remarkable work of art that is a wonderful record of the ancient churches of West Sussex. His

watercolours will encourage you to explore familiar places anew, whilst also revealing the known unknowns; those places you knew about, but never visited. To act as a guide there is a stunning book published to coincide with this exhibition, using the voice of the artist to reveal what drew him to these special places. The exhibition Accents on the landscape: Ancient Churches of West Sussex includes unusual views of the majestic Chichester Cathedral to the nude paintings in Hardham, lying just south of Pulborough, to portraits of windows that reflect the sun bursting through, highlighting the mellow stone and patina of age on oak pews. Such images are complemented by the age-worn stone of headstones and graves as they populate the churchyard and add poignancy to the watercolours. The new temporary exhibition is part of Horsham District Council’s Year of Culture programme at Horsham Museum & Art Gallery. Gordon Rushmer’s stunning exhibition is part of a tradition, spanning 250 years, of recording the historic churches, first commenced by William Burrell of West Grinstead who employed the Swiss artist Grimm. His watercolours are now in the British Library and seen as one of the outstanding pictorial records of 18th century Britain. The quality of Gordon Rushmer’s paintings stand in comparison. Some of Grimm’s watercolours became fine copperplate images in leather bound books. Today, thanks to modern technology, the public, if not able to buy one of the original works of art, can buy a beautifully produced book, illustrating all of the paintings in this amazing exhibition. The book will be available to purchase from 30 March from Horsham Museum & Art Gallery and will be priced at £12.50.

St Mary’s The Virgin, Stopham.

Accents on the landscape: Ancient Churches of West Sussex by Gordon Rushmer opens on 30 March and runs till 1 June 2019. From there it will also show at Weald and Downland Living Museum followed by Parham House in September 2019. For more information see www.horshammuseum.org Horsham Museum & Art Gallery is open MondaySaturday 10am-5pm, Free Admission.

LOCAL AUTHOR JOHN SNELLING

A MEDICINE MAKER COMES TO TOWN

I

t was in April 1934 that local estate agent King and Chasemore put up a parcel of land for sale at Horsham Town Hall, advertised as ‘ripe for factory or building development’. There were 19 acres that ran alongside Parsonage Road, currently let out to Mr W.J. Standing as a market garden. The Swiss chemical firm of CIBA had bought a Manchester dyestuffs company in 1911 and had set up a small subsidiary pharmaceutical department in south-east London shortly afterwards. (In those pioneering days dyestuffs businesses were the midwife to the pharmaceutical industry since they usually started from the same basic chemical ingredients.) The young business flourished, and by 1934 the management had ideas of moving out of London and building a brand new factory to make their medicines and to do everything else on one site. It turned out to be a wise move, as six years later the London premises were fire-bombed to the ground. As a desirable location Horsham had plenty of competition, and the managers considered umpteen other sites including Sidcup, Maidstone, St. Mary Cray and Welwyn. The factory would need a good water supply, road and rail links. The company took out an option to purchase the Horsham land but it wasn’t until 1937 that a 250-foot borehole proved beyond doubt that water supply would be no problem. In April 1938 the first contracts for the driveway and the two entrance lodges were signed with London architects O’Donoghue and Halfhide of Upper Grosvenor Street. The high specification of the driveway alone astonished everyone, one man asserting that it was as good or better than the main road to London. This gave a clue that CIBA had already set a gold-standard of quality for whatever they were to build at Horsham. Logically enough, the two roadside lodges were designated Buildings 1 and 2. But it was the all-purpose edifice itself with its central tower, echoing Giles

34

APRIL/MAY 2019

Novartis withdrew from Horsham in 2014 eventually leaving only the art deco building standing.

Gilbert Scott’s Cambridge Library of 1934 and ever to be known as Building 3, of course, that took the breath away and over the years has become recognized as an art deco jewel to rival anything in that style anywhere else in the country. The staircase within the impressive central tower was illuminated from outside by glass bricks, while inside it the great bronze and glass chandelier is another classic piece of art deco design. The whole of the interior is clad in beautiful Travertine stone from quarries near Rome, and the supporting pillars faced in contrasting richly veined dark and polished marbles. The tower also served a practical purpose, since it originally concealed a chimney which took smoke from the boilers in the basement. Coal or coke delivered to the company’s railway siding was fed by an underground conveyor straight into the boiler room beneath the entrance hall, where a visitor might just detect a slight rumbling when the conveyor was working. During wartime the tower made a great look-out, and in daylight the firm’s commissionaire would go to the top to spot enemy aircraft, to warn the staff and then put out a flag so that a watcher at Collyer’s School a couple of fields away could also pick up his danger signal. The building, not quite finished as war broke out in 1939, was still echoing to the operatic arias

of Italian craftsmen laying the floors, while back in London the heat was on, and CIBA managed to hire a greengrocer’s van to cart their finished medicines down to Horsham at £2.50 a trip. Only the two lodges were complete, so a handful of Londoners struggled to squeeze the packing cases into their tiny space. Soon the great building itself was ready and it was here that manufacturing in Horsham began. On the ground floor they started producing pharmaceutical chemicals, a process that in 1951 was transferred to a new factory that the Horsham staff set up near Grimsby. The first floor of Building 3 was devoted to making and packaging a variety of medicines, while everything else, including an elegant boardroomcum-library, occupied the top floor. During the war a secret Army convoy sometimes drove up in the dead of night to collect medical supplies for use by the Allies on the world’s battlefields.

Over the years the manufacturing and storage facilities at Horsham were expanded many times over by CIBA and then by Ciba-Geigy. The first biochemical research unit was opened on the site in May1965 and others followed, lastly under the management of Novartis, the name the company adopted after Ciba-Geigy had been joined by a third great Swiss pharma company, Sandoz. So as the world changes so the pages keep turning, often illuminated by the light of great achievement, sometimes stained with tears, and always with the hope of better things ahead. Mr Standing’s market garden had come an awfully long way since it was just growing cabbages.

ancer was an unwelcome arrival 30 weeks into Rebecca’s second pregnancy, she was just 38 years old. Chemo began two weeks later and making the decision to have chemo while she was pregnant remains the most difficult choice she has ever had to make. A year’s worth of treatment followed with her daughter being born healthily mid chemo cycles. A recurrence of the same cancer was diagnosed just as she was going to be discharged 10 years later, she now has just 30% chance of surviving for another 10 years. A seemingly minor by comparison skin cancer was diagnosed early in 2016. Cancer impacted and changed every part of Rebecca’s life and she promised herself she would help other cancer patients who face a similar experience. After several years

APRIL/MAY 2019

volunteering at cancer charities she formerly trained as a counsellor and has a practice near where she lives. The Two Faces of Cancer explores Rebecca’s three personal experiences of cancer and then explains these using her professional skills and knowledge as a counsellor to raise awareness and understanding about the enormous and devastating impact cancer has. Rebecca experienced cancer as a frightening and isolating time which created powerful and intense emotions of fear, sadness and anger which Rebecca didn’t understand or know how to manage and which remained long after the treatment ended. The emotional impact of cancer took Rebecca to the brink of a mental break down on more than one occasion. Through understanding what these emotions were about and why she experienced them over time Rebecca has made changes to her life and has learnt to live alongside cancer. The Two Faces of Cancer is motivating and uplifting in how adversity can be faced and overcome, inspiring readers to live their lives.

STUDIO 2

THE CREATIVE APPRENTICE

W

hen I was fifteen it was

time to leave school, I had no clear vocation in

mind but a vague notion of wanting to help people. Having “fainted” on numerous occasions at the sight of

blood, nursing was not an option. My stepmother ran a hairdressers I’d helped out in on Saturdays. She suggested a hairdressing apprenticeship. My desire for learning really began, an eagerness to know all I could about hair, but also people and eventually business, has continued for me. I’ve been really lucky! At Studio 2 almost all of our team are homegrown. I asked five current apprentices about their course. Liv; “I like earning while learning, it’s always fun, education is constant and everyone is an educator here”. Abi; “You get a lot of opportunities, courses, people skills. You’re part of a team.” Beth; “I’ve made new friends, built confidence, particularly in communication, learnt everything from finance, management and gained a rounded education in hairdressing (I’ve finally nailed my Maths and English as part of my course!)” Lucy; “It’s a big team, there is always someone to talk to. The training is really good and we get day release to learn theory.” Cameron; “Who knew learning could be so enjoyable? I’m never bored, there is a real dedication to education, my success really matters to Mandy and the team - as much as it does to me.” If you know someone who might be keen to join our family in September 2019, call for more details or email CV’s to mail@studio2horsham.co.uk.

WI

NOT ALL JAM AND JERUSALEM

W

hat springs to mind when you think of the WI? There are actually many WI groups in this area, each offering a different experience, and it isn't all jam and Jerusalem! Trafalgar Treasures WI is a modern, evening WI group that formed in 2018 in Holy Trinity Church Hall, Rushams Road and meet every 2nd Friday of the month. In our first year we enjoyed talks from a female aerial photographer, and Sussex Green Living and had a go at book folding and sewing. We put together feminine hygiene kits for girls abroad and made no-sew cushion covers. We helped to make a quilt that will be donated to a women’s refuge and played skittles. We donated supplies for local ladies that are admitted to emergency mental health care and knitted squares for a blanket for premature babies. Most importantly, we enjoyed getting to know one another and plan to continue to grow into an entertaining, positive, supportive and welcoming group. As a WI member you will enjoy a varied programme of meetings that include talks, activities, social opportunities, and always cake. You can also get involved in numerous regional and national level events and activities. But there is also the chance to make

46

APRIL/MAY 2019

a difference both locally and nationally. The WI are to thank for the current NHS Breast Screening Programme and they were among the first in the UK to raise awareness of AIDS. Similar national campaigns are introduced each year and local groups can get as involved in each campaign as they wish. It can be easy to feel bogged down and isolated with work, responsibilities and social media but, once a month, you can chat to people with similar challenges who come together to be part of a community and to learn something new. If you think our group sounds like your cup of tea, why not give it a go? It is ÂŁ5 to visit, or you can join for the year. Our programme for 2019 is as follows: 8th March - The History of Parliament - Jeremy Quinn 12th April - Flower arranging 10th May - Debate and discussion 14th June - Hypnotherapy 12th July - Belly dancing 9th August - Social 13th September - Craft 11th October - Annual meeting and pumpkin carving competition 8th November - Christmas card making 13th December - Fabric wreath making Please like our Facebook page Trafalgar Treasures - Horsham WI for more information.

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.

Outdoor play has always been significant to a Montessori education. Maria Montessori herself a pioneer of a lady being an early qualified scientific doctor. She valued the child discovering, questioning, observing and respecting the environment. This year Montessori schools throughout Britain are celebrating the centenary of Maria Montessori visiting Great Britain. To mark this occasion Montessori will be exhibiting a Montessori garden at the forthcoming RHS show. Ideas have been submitted to the designers to include the experiences of school gardens and new ideas for the future and hydroponics. We too have been redesigning our garden.

RECIPE

S P I N A C H A N D F E TA F R I T TATA Serves 4-6 Preparation time 15 minutes Cooking time 15 minutes INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium shallot, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons) 1 medium clove garlic, finely chopped (about 1 teaspoon) 1 (5-ounce) bag baby spinach

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flatleaved parsley or basil. Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 10 eggs, beaten 1/4 cup milk 3/4 cup (about 3.5 ounces) crumbled feta

METHOD

P

reheat the grill. Heat olive oil in an 8-inch pan over a medium high heat. Add chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes beginning to soften. Add garlic and continue to cook for a further two minutes until softened. Add spinach and parsley (or basil) and cook, tossing often until spinach is fully wilted and any water released by the spinach has cooked off. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk

52

APRIL/MAY 2019

with a whisk until mixed together. Don't overbeat. Add feta, and season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over spinach then gently stir with a spatula to release the spinach from the bottom of the pan so that the eggs are in direct contact with the surface of the pan, so they cook quickly. Cook until the eggs are almost totally set (this takes 10-12 minutes), reducing heat to prevent burning. Place pan under the grill for a couple of minutes, until the top is set as well, keeping a close eye on it so it does not burn. To release the frittata from the pan, loosen edges with a spatula. Place a dinner plate over pan, and holding plate firmly flip the pan over so the frittata releases onto the plate. Serve warm.

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

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.

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.

ennel cough, or infectious tracheobronchitis, is a highly contagious airborne infection that results in inflammation of the windpipe and airways. Environments where dogs are in close proximity to one another predispose them to infection. Kennel cough is caused by a combination of a bacterial infection called bordetella bronchiseptica and various viruses including canine parainfluenza virus and canine adenovirus type two. The incubation period can vary from two days to two weeks from the point of exposure, and symptoms include a persistent hacking or honking cough followed by retching, which can sound like your dog has something stuck in its throat. These symptoms usually resolve within one to three weeks although may last for up to six weeks. Dogs can be carriers of the infection for several months after the cough resolves. The disease is usually self-limiting and most animals remain well other than the cough. Puppies, elderly dogs and those with concurrent illnesses need to be monitored closely as occasionally the disease can develop into pneumonia. A vet check is recommended if your dog is inappetant, lethargic, has any coloured nasal discharge or a productive cough.

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.

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.

ROFFEY CRICKET CLUB

NEW SEASON

Home Decorating

R

offey Cricket Club (RCC) is a growing community that

boasts four Saturday league teams, one Sunday team and a junior section suitable for both boys and girls. The ground, left in trust by the Innes Family, is situated off the Crawley Road in North Horsham. There is also another ground in Faygate, where the third and fourth teams play their home games. The first team have won the Sussex Premier League for four of the last five years. The most successful season so far was in 2018, with the first eleven winning the league and making it to the country’s last four in both national knockout competitions. Much of the club’s success can be credited to their fantastic junior section that runs on a Friday evening. Colts’ training resumes Friday 26th April 2019 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, for under 9s through to under 16s, alongside an introduction to cricket session suitable for 5 to 9 year olds. Over the years, the youth section has produced some incredibly talented cricketers who have progressed through the adult teams to the Firsts. Most importantly, it gives youngsters the chance to enjoy playing cricket with their friends and become part of a wider family community in a fun and friendly environment. RCC is the perfect place for parents to bring children, of all ages and ability levels, to play cricket and socialise with friends. Likewise, if you are an adult looking to play competitive cricket, or just to enjoy the sport, there’s a place for you at Roffey. For more information please contact Toni Jeal on

07747 781231 or email roffeycc@gmail.com - Roffey Cricket Club thanks all of their sponsors for their ongoing support. For more information about sponsorship opportunities email sponsorshipRCC@gmail.com Please mention HORSHAM PAGES South when responding to adverts
