It would seem that all the negativity surrounding the housing market is ver y subjective and a mind over market approach is what is different with Cubitt & West . Having worked in my home town of Uckfield for just over a year one thing I have noticed since returning to Southwater is that prices here have been ver y resilient and I have not noticed any

markab ble change which proves that Southwater still ha s a great deal of allure. I am lo ooking for ward to seeing customers old and ne w in 2020 and helping you all achie ve great prices and securing your moving goals, I look for ward to giving you another market update soon. John Furber Senior Branch Manager

HORSHAM COMMUNITY FRIDGE

HELP CREATE A COMMUNITY FRIDGE Fare Divide’s vision is to save perishable foodstuffs from landfill and to inspire healthier communities by forging give-and-take partnerships making available surplus food to all without judgement and stigma. Anita Rosser is working with Sarah Renfrey, founder of Fare Divide, to set up a community fridge in Horsham. Anita explains the concept below and how they need to raise £2,040.

Sarah Refrey promoting Littlehampton’s fridge.

arah and I are incredibly passionate about reducing food waste and preventing perfectly edible food from going to landfill. I personally think it's scandalous that tonnes of food is thrown away every day in the UK, particularly by retailers and supermarkets, or it's reduced before the Best Before Date even though the food will remain perfectly edible for a week if not longer. I often buy packets of tomatoes that have been reduced and they are perfectly edible a week later. How does a Community Fridge differ from a Food Bank? People usually refer to food banks as an emergency stop gap solution, and are vital for an increasing number of people. Generally non-perishable food items are given out, and food bank users are not always at liberty to choose what they eat, although each food parcel is tailored to each household’s needs. Community Fridges exist to reduce food waste and foster a spirit of sharing and mutual support within a community. They are often open more regularly and offer a source of fresh

JANUARY 2020

good quality food surplus for everyone. In many cases the most frequent items moving through the fridge are fruit and veg. They operate on a trust basis and are not means tested. The aim of the Horsham Community Fridge project is to set-up and launch a Community Fridge in Horsham. Community Fridges are social sites of food education and sharing. They are housed in publicly accessible places making fresh food that would otherwise be wasted freely available to the community. Surplus perishable food is donated by local businesses, supermarkets or allotments and taken by anyone who will use it. Our aim is to raise £2,040 to be spent on a

What we'll deliver Save 1 tonne month good quality food from going to landfill Create a welcoming area for the fridge and ambient goods in a public space Why it's a great idea This will save perfectly good food going to waste. It will make food available to ANYONE who wants to come and take items for their own use. It encourages sharing and helps the environment! And there's already one in Littlehampton which is proving to be a success. Steps to get it done To source a suitable location for the Horsham Community Fridge Apply to Horsham District Council to register as a food business (8 weeks)

We really need residents to pledge as much money as they can and their pledge won't be taken until we have raised the money. They will be investing in an incredibly worthwhile environmental project that will benefit everyone. Further details @HorshamCommunityFridge

REFLECTIONS ON INCINERATOR INQUIRY

he Incinerator Inquiry which follows a legal framework is not the easiest of environments in which to ask residents to come and express their concerns. The Planning Inspector, Ian Jenkins, was as accommodating as possible in making people feel comfortable, but if residents did give evidence they had to consider if they would accept cross examination from Britaniacrest's barrister in order to add more weight to their views. The process is not meant to be adversarial but inquisitorial. However, despite this many members of our community did come forward and made their feelings known to the Inspector about the impact that building this incinerator would have on their daily lives. We were pleased that the Inspector set aside a day for site visits with all interested parties to personally view the local area. He was also making other visits on his own both during day and night to inform his decision. This was reassuring and much appreciated. Another vital part of the Inquiry process was the opportunity for Ni4H and residents to take part in discussing what planning conditions should apply, if the incinerator were to be approved. Ni4H were assisted in round table discussions by our planning expert, Maureen Darrie and were able to bring forward proposals from research into conditions from other incinerators and to present a reasoned best practice case. Over the past two years there have been two consultations regarding this incinerator application and the response from the residents of Horsham on both occasions has been an overwhelming objection to the development. It is by far the largest reaction to any planning application I have seen in my 14 years as County Councillor. During the first consultation 5,500 residents rejected this application either by direct objection to the planners or by signing a petition. Since the Appeal application was made another 2,237 people have added their names to a second petition which was presented to the Planning

JANUARY 2020

Inspector at the Inquiry. This is an overwhelming NO vote. It is local democracy at work and we asked the Inspector to give this the weight it deserved. Ni4H and the local community has been at a huge disadvantage to Britaniacrest in bringing our representations to this Inquiry. Given the issues involved here are very technical and complex, they have been able to use their considerable resources to buy themselves experienced experts and representatives to make their pitch. On the other hand, Ni4H are not experts and it is not a professional organisation - it is a Community Group attempting to understand and reflect the concerns of the community. Ni4H has had to work hard not only in developing its case, but also through fundraising events, public donations and pledges of financial support, to collect significant funds so that we can afford a barrister and experts, to represent local residents. Without this massive community effort over the last 12 months, it would have been impossible to give full weight at the Inquiry in presenting the excellent case we have and the powerful reasons we have for rejection of this appeal. We are confident from many submissions made by residents, that the Inspector will have understood the concerns that local people have about their future wellbeing if the incinerator comes to this area, the wholesale change of character that would be brought to our market town, how it would be out of keeping with its surroundings and the massive structure would overwhelm existing buildings in the surrounding area and would have a significant adverse impact on our beautiful views. We hope these heartfelt views and the more formal input from Ni4H and WSCC barristers will sway the Inspector to reject this Appeal. We remain optimistic for a positive result. Any suggestion that the Ni4H campaign was misleading is not so. In fact, Ni4H learned from other Community Groups labelled in this way how to avoid

Ni4H

doing just that. Ni4H has taken great care over the content of press releases, social media publicity, newsletters, printed material and discussions with the public to remain measured in our approach to our campaign, opposing the development of this incinerator. Finally, we want to say a big thank you to everyone who has backed this campaign in their many different ways and to Ni4H Barrister Nick Grant from Landmark Chambers, Ni4H Experts Maureen Darrie from GP Planning Ltd, Only Solutions LLP and UKWIN. Through the hard work of Ni4H and the amazing local support we have given ourselves at least an even chance, where without it we would have had no chance, in putting our case forward so strongly for rejection of the Appeal. We now await the Inspectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision probably in the first quarter of 2020. Peter Catchpole, Chairman Ni4H County Councillor Holbrook

HORSHAM DISTRICT HOMES

FIRST AFFORDABLE HOMES DELIVERED

t a Horsham District Council Cabinet meeting on 28 November, councillors approved business cases for the development of new permanent affordable homes in Billingshurst and Slinfold. These homes will be the first to be delivered by the Council’s new affordable housing company: Horsham District Homes. Horsham District Homes was created in August 2019 with the objectives of: • giving a boost to the existing delivery of affordable housing in the District • making the best use of section 106 sums, and; • providing a financial return to the Council for further reinvestment in housing and in District facilities. Horsham District Council has helped deliver more affordable homes to local people in the past three years than any other council in Sussex with over 750 built through existing council policies. The creation of Horsham District Homes is set to further build upon this achievement. Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for Communities and Wellbeing Councillor Tricia Youtan, said: “I am delighted that we are now starting to develop new affordable permanent rented homes owned directly by the Council, as a result of the creation of Horsham District Homes. “In the Horsham District our existing policies have a good track record in the delivery of affordable homes. We shall continue with this approach but going forward with Horsham District Homes we will add to affordable housing numbers and help even more local people who are on our housing register into suitable affordable accommodation.” Following a model seen in other councils, Horsham District Homes as a company, is separate from the Council but wholly owned by it. It is led by Council appointed directors but other staff resources – such as legal, financial and administrative support, come from within the Council.

BOOK REVIEW

BOOK FOR AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS

xperienced pilot Steve Ford (above) from Billingshurst has launched his debut book - 20 West: a journey through six decades of turbulent change within aviation. Sharing the adventure, joy, and - on occasion tragedy, that makes aviation one of the most fascinating industries to be a part of, 20 West reflects the diversity of the aerospace industry. It’s not only an absorbing read for anyone with a passion for aviation, but also for the next generation looking to embark upon a journey that has no final destination. 20 West follows Steve’s journey through aviation, from an ‘unmin’ child travelling the world on standby, training from an apprenticeship to a jet engine specialist, to his distinguished career as a long-haul commercial pilot. It also presents an insider’s history of the last 60 years of the industry, giving readers a fascinating insight into the ways commercial flight and the corporate giants that dominate it have evolved over the years. Packed with captivating stories from both above the clouds and down on the tarmac, it’s a must-read for anyone who’s ever wondered what really happens on the other side of the cockpit door. On making the decision to write and publish his enthralling career story, Steve said: “The reason for wanting to write this book was to provide ‘a record’; to attempt, as accurately as possible, to present a view from within the aviation industry during a period of monumental change. It spans six decades, stretching from propeller-driven

transport aircraft to composite, fly-by-wire and wide-body double-decker aircraft, plucked from the pages of science fiction. “Over the years, I have probably worked with and flown with hundreds if not thousands of pilots, and one of the biggest drivers for me wanting to write this book was not because it is about me, but because it is about them. It will also allow those who have absolutely no idea what it is like to spend a lifetime in aviation to get a sense of what it looks, feels and smells like to be embraced by such a career. It is a way of life that wraps itself around you and enters every pore as you fall within its envelope.” 20 West is available in paperback (£8.99) and ebook format (£2.99) on www.amazon.co.uk For more information or to contact the author visit www.20WestBook.com

exceptional examples of their species because of their enormous size, great age, rarity or historical significance. The Grade I Listed gardens are set within a steep valley in the 240 acre Leonardslee estate, and feature a series of seven interlinked lakes, originally created to power iron smelting in the 16th and 17th centuries. Victorian plant collector Sir Edmund Loder purchased the estate from his parents-in-law in 1889 and planted extensive collections of Rhododendrons and Azaleas and many species of trees, and also introduced gazelle, beavers, kangaroos and wallabies. The gardens were sold by the Loder family and closed to the public in 2010. No further maintenance work was carried out until entrepreneur Penny Streeter OBE purchased the site in 2017. There followed nearly two years’ extensive restoration work, with a team of some 30 gardeners, until the opening in April 2019. It has been described as the biggest garden restoration since the Heligan project in the 1990s. Leonardslee attracts visitors internationally to see its outstanding displays of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, magnolias and bluebells, with many rare specimens collected from all over the world by the Loder family.

CAGNE

GATWICK AIRPORT SEEKING GROWTH

atwick Airport is seeking growth even though the Airports Commission was unanimous in selecting Heathrow for a new runway. They are seeking to increase aircraft movements of the main runway by 60%, going from 285,000 to 340,000 by 2032. This will not have the full parliamentary scrutiny or even your scrutiny as it is in keeping with government policy, ‘to make best use of current facilities’ and so Gatwick looks to grow without any restrictions or consultation. The Secretary of State is the official that has the power to stop Gatwick’s unsustainable growth. CAGNE has pointed out to local authorities that this growth alone should be called in by the Secretary of State due to the huge burden on our roads, railway, affordable housing, healthcare, schools, lack of amenities or consideration of climate emergency. Post election we ask you to write to the Secretary of State to call in the growth plan from Gatwick’s main runway. Growth from the main runway will not be part of the Development Consent Order (DCO) unlike the emergency runway (a second runway); We believe 60% increase in aircraft movements will be predominantly from the main runway with 40% using the emergency runway totaling some 390,000 aircraft movements a year by 2032. Lack of any funding to meet the huge increase in migrating workers into areas currently with low unemployment; lack of affordable housing; lack of healthcare and school prevision and lack of surface access. And a substantial increase in aircraft noise day and night with one runway The growth does not stop there, Gatwick are also perusing using the emergency runway to n

the north of the main runway as a second runway. It cannot be used currently in conjunction with the main runway, as it would be unsafe so the emergency runway will have to be re-built. We feel this is therefore constructing a new runway and not in keeping with Government policy as above. Gatwick expansion with two runways – a criminal increase of flight movements, 390,000, which equals a significant increase in passengers, 74m, and nearly one million tonnes of extra carbon a year. Gatwick Airport is seeking the approval of this via a planning process - Development Consent Order (DCO) - and we expect Gatwick to formally apply for this early 2020. This will leave a short period of time to register an interest and prepare a barrister and experts to defend the communities all around Gatwick from this significant growth. To challenge this DCO we require funding and so if you are able please donate via our website www.cagne.org We are being advised by Leigh Day, London Solicitors who are well versed in opposing DCO applications, environmental issues, and have already appointed a barrister. We need to be ready for Gatwick’s campaign launch in the New Year with another roadshow of events to raise awareness and lobbying of local authorities and Members of Parliament. To continue to oppose Gatwick’s expansion we need your support, in writing, to your local authority that may be looking to approve Gatwick’s growth, your newly appointed MP, the Secretary of State and donations to fund experts and a legal team. Be ready to campaign to oppose Gatwick Airport growth plans spring 2020. Keep updated by joining the CAGNE mailing list at www.cagne.org JANUARY 2020

SUSSEX GREEN LIVING

HORSHAM CLIMATE CAFE LAUNCHED

n Saturday 7th JANUARY 2020 in partnership with the Horsham Quakers Sussex Green Living (SGL) launched the Horsham Climate Café. It will take place on the first Saturday of every month 2pm until 4pm in the Quaker Meeting House, Worthing Road, Horsham, HR12 1SL (opposite Sainsburys car park) after the morning’s Horsham Repair Café (10-1pm). At the Climate Cafe people can meet informally and talk about climate change, eat delicious homemade cake, have a hot drink and join in the conversations about problems and solutions. You can come once or every month. Due to demand from many young people living in Horsham District SGL want to provide a relaxed space where they can come together and share their climate concerns and actions. Initially this space will be for children and young people (age 11 and upwards). SGL hope it will be led by the pupils and supported with adult facilitation and mentoring. SGL know it can be difficult to talk about climate change with friends and family, so Climate Cafés are designed to provide a space to do just that. SGL’s longer term vision is to explore larger premises for the Horsham Repair Cafe and the Horsham Climate Café to run alongside each other, working with other Horsham partners. With larger premises SGL might include: • Environmental petitioning – telling people about the most important petitions, their aims and impacts. SGL will encourage people to sign the petition(s) during their visit to the climate café. • Energy – sharing ways to save energy and reduce fuel poverty. Using SGL’s cost comparison and clean energy site they can help people switch their electricity suppliers for their homes and businesses often saving them money. Or people can use SGL’s

JANUARY 2020

site from the comfort of their home. As of JANUARY 2020 at the Horsham Repair Cafe SGL will be offering fuel poverty and energy saving advice thanks to a ‘CES Warming Communities’ grant. Learn more here www.horshamrepaircafe.org.uk/ energy-advice/. • First green steps – or ‘Green watchers’. It’s similar to Weight Watchers where SGL help people take their first green steps, encouraging at least one green action a month. SGL hope they will come back month after month to be supported and monitored as they transition to a more sustainable life. • Climate Forum – young people working together to share ideas, helping give them a voice and support activity and in collaboration with Fridays for Future, Parents for Future and Parent Pledge. • Science behind climate change – if visitors want to learn more about climate change science, experts will be on hand to talk to them, suggesting reading and films to develop their knowledge. There are seven Climate Reality Leaders in West Sussex, all trained by the former US Vice President Al Gore along with leading climate change scientists who are part of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps. Carrie Cort, the founder of Sussex Green Living trained with the Climate Reality Leadership Corps in Manila, Philippines in March 2016. • Local campaigning groups – Representatives from groups like No Incinerator for Horsham, CAGNE (Communities Against Gatwick Noise Emissions) and Extinction Rebellion Horsham will be welcome, but unlikely to attend every month.

Garlic – it’s the powerhouse for health. It’s packed with various vitamins and minerals and also has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties, helping boost the immune system. Why not add it to salad dressing, soups, sauces, or if feeling brave, eat a whole clove on its own? Soups and broths – sipping warm fluids is a cold remedy in many cultures. Chicken soup or bone broth-based soups are a good choice as they can reduce the symptoms in the throat and nasal passage. Even during the winter months, it’s still important to stay hydrated with warm and cold fluids. Vitamin C and zinc – these nutrients are especially helpful as they may prevent and shorten the duration of cold symptoms. Both zinc and vitamin C support the immune system, so it makes sense to increase the intake of both over the winter period. Vitamin C is not only found in lemons, limes and oranges but also in leafy greens, broccoli, peppers, kiwis and blackcurrants. And for zinc, you can turn to egg yolks, beef, ginger, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, yeast and seafood. If you do catch a cold, apart from increasing your intake of some of the above, you can try some additional natural remedies which may help you recover quicker. Cut out refined and simple sugars – sugar suppresses the function of the immune system, so make a conscious effort to limit or even eliminate any sugary foods such as biscuits, chocolate and sweets when you are having a cold. Instead, by increasing your intake of healthy foods such as colourful

HEALTH

HOW I BEAT TYPE 2 DIABETES When his diabetes doctor suggested he should share how he put his diabetes into remission, John Spring went one better, he wrote a humorous book about it.

’ve now been in remission from type 2 diabetes (T2D) for eight years, so I guess I must be doing something right. Being in remission means that T2D isn’t damaging me anymore. The newly diagnosed will have been made well aware of the longer-term havoc it can do to their bodies. Unless, when they were told, they put their fingers in their ears and started humming, “La, la, la, I’m not listening”. Which is exactly what I did for several years. 5% of the UK’s adult population have been diagnosed with T2D, and another 1.3% don’t know they have it yet. By the year 2035, 10% of us will be type 2 diabetic. That might make the recently diagnosed feel a little better, as there is some safety in numbers, but the NHS isn’t too keen on the prospect. New patients may not be feeling any immediate effects of T2D, so it becomes easy to be complacent. You can liken it to a mild acid flowing around your body, slowly eating away at your nerves, your organs and your eyes. It is the end of this slow production line of diabetic damage that the NHS is now contending with. I’d read about rapid weight loss having a high success rate in putting T2D into remission and the NHS is now trialling liquid-based diets of 800 calories per day. There’s also bariatric surgery, but it isn’t infallible as a patient’s bad eating habits can find ways around it. Likewise, you probably don’t want to survive on liquids for the rest of your life, especially if they don’t contain alcohol. I devised my own practical regime for losing weight fast. The most positive benefit of this workable approach was that I learned how to avoid temptation by becoming the master of my own food. I also learned how to fit exercise into my busy life. These are the lessons that have kept me in remission.

John Spring before and today (right).

I started by identifying the heavy hitters in my diet. I then developed workarounds to drastically reduce my consumption of those. I also preprepared my own breakfast and lunch, thus avoiding the calorific temptations lurking in coffee shops and lunchtime sandwich bars. My home cooked dinners featured healthier ingredients and I soon realised that there really is no such thing as a low-calorie takeaway. They are all evil. I discovered convenient exercise by walking set routes every day and I built up to being the world’s most unlikely runner. After four months I had lost four stone and my blood sugar came down from 60 mmol to 42mmol (48 mmol is the diabetic threshold). Most importantly I’d also equipped myself with the knowledge of how to maintain that weight loss. The low-calorie liquids or the surgeon’s knife may well kick T2D into remission, but they’re arduous procedures to undertake. Staying in remission is also hard work, but that has been made easier for me by using a new lifestyle to beat this lifestyle related disease. By John Spring ‘How I Beat Type 2 Diabetes’ by John Spring is available on Amazon. £7.99.

LIGHT AND LAUGHTER

orsham Museum & Art Gallery is delighted to be hosting a new exhibition, “Light and Laughter” by local artist Cherry Parsons. Cherry was born and bred in Horsham. In her youth she dreamt of studying dress design at college, but for various reasons wasn’t able to go. Cherry went on to channel her creative passion into her own boutique before becoming a fulltime mother. Cherry’s dream of higher education became a reality when she accompanied her eldest daughter to her interview at Northbrook College, Horsham. After a meeting with the Head Tutor Cherry was offered a place to study alongside her delighted daughter. Cherry has exhibited work through The Farlington Art Group run by Rosalind Sprey. She also accepts commissions and has produced artworks which are displayed at Sedgwick House and Springfield Park. Having joined Horsham Artists Open Studios, Cherry has also held successful Open House exhibitions. Working mainly in acrylics or oils, Cherry enjoys creating portraiture, seascapes and landscapes. Her work incorporates light, reflections, water or humour. The amusing new range of artworks that capture characterful seagulls provide Cherry with a mental rest from the concentration of her other

artwork and make her smile whenever she sees them. Having spent much of her time caring for children, parents and beautiful grandchildren, Cherry is now revelling in having the time and space to indulge her passion. Light and Laughter will run from 8 November 2019 to 3 January 2020 in the Watercolour Gallery. Cherry’s original artworks, mounted prints, and a range of greetings card will be available to purchase for the duration of the exhibition. BOOM AND BUST: HORSHAM AFTER THE GREAT WAR

he first decade after the First World War was one of great change throughout Britain, and Horsham was no exception. A new exhibition at Horsham Museum and Art Gallery, Boom and Bust: Horsham after the Great War, will look at the developments and events that took place during the 1920s, and how they affected the town and the people that lived here. After 4 long years of war, on 11th November 1918 the notification that an Armistice had been signed arrived in Horsham, via telephone.

over, and the streets buzzed with excitement and rejoicing. After the initial celebrations Britain entered a period of adjustment. In Horsham around 420 men aged 16-50 had been killed, a significant number for this small community. After the war there was a widespread desire to get back to normal. By 1918 people had been desperate for peace, yet the reality of the post-war world was one of continued international conflict, economic stagnation, disrupted trade, and social unrest. The early 1920s saw increased leisure time, increased wages, cheaper goods and major changes in fashion and social permissiveness. The later years of the decade, in contrast, saw the General Strike of 1926 and the economic crash of 1929. It was certainly a time of great change and many contrasts.

utaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) is also known as Alabama Rot after a similar disease in Greyhounds in Alabama in the 1980’s. It is characterised by ulceration of the skin, usually the lower part of a dog’s legs, but can also affect the body, face, tongue or mouth. CRGV is caused by damage to blood vessels in the skin and kidney resulting in tiny blood clots forming in the vessels and blocking them, leading to tissue damage. Skin lesions typically appear three days before kidney failure develops, but can occur up to ten days earlier. Not all dogs develop kidney failure, but those that do require intensive management and many do not survive. CRGV is rare and similar skin lesions can develop for many other reasons. If your dog develops a skin lesion book an appointment to see your vet, if they are suspicious of CRGV they may run blood tests as certain changes are suggestive of the disease. Unfortunately the only way to definitively diagnose the condition is microscopic examination of kidney tissue post mortem. There were 122 confirmed cases of CRGV with skin lesions and kidney failure between November 2012 and January 2018, from many different counties across the UK. A seasonal distribution has been identified with over 90% of cases between November and May. The cause is currently unknown although research is continuing. An environmental cause has been suggested and owners are advised to bathe dogs after a wet or muddy walk.

WEST SUSSEX PHILHARMONIC CHOIR

ANOTHER SPLENDID CONCERT

hen Stephen Hope introduced to the audience the recent concert at St Mary’s Parish Church on 16th November by the West Sussex Philharmonic Choir, he explained that the first two items were contemporary choral works by American-based composers. “In this progressive style of music not all the harmonies are what we are used to; any sounds you hear which appear discordant are intended by the composer in order to create atmosphere and effect - or most of them at any rate”. Another feature of these works is their linguistic spread - Latin, French, Spanish and English. The compilers of the concert programme had the presence of mind to provide translations to satisfy the curious listener. The two works in question were Serenity by Ola Gjeilo, his setting of the Latin text O Magnum Mysterium; and Nocturnes by Morten Lauridsen, who took his text from four poems (in French, Spanish and English) with ‘Night’ as the common link. The choir coped confidently with each work, handling ‘a capella’ passages with aplomb; they made a very pleasing sound and to the listener all discords were obviously intentional. There followed vocal solos by the baritone and soprano soloists who were to appear later in the second half. Lawrence Broomfield performed two songs by Faure and Felicity Hope regaled us with songs by Quilter and Schumann; both were accompanied on piano by Stephen Hope who then played Gnossienne No 1 by Satie. This delightful interlude paved the way for the choir to close the first half with the Ave Maria from Rachmaninov’s All Night Vespers, which was sung in Russian, under its Russian title , Bogoroditse Devo. After the interval we were entertained to a bravura performance of Faure’s Requiem, opened by a deafening chord on the organ, played by David Moore. This work is full of great melodies

and is therefore often treated almost as light music; chorally speaking, this performance had a gravitas which underlined the solemnity of what a requiem mass is all about – it was powerful and stirring. The two solo vocalists played their part in performing their melodic contributions with a thoughtfulness that matched that of the choir’s. Yet again the West Sussex Philharmonic Choir demonstrated its versatility in skilfully handling choral works of differing styles; its members clearly enjoy their singing and the audience shared that enjoyment.

Along with his medical skill he brought great artistic talent and flair for capturing life as lived in the District in the 1930-60s. His genius was capturing in a few strokes, on the back of napkins, envelopes and the more formal painting, the humour of life. He follows in the tradition of Rowlandson, but without the cutting edge.
