COMMENT

D-DAY FOR INCINERATOR FIGHT

O

n page 8 you can read all about the long awaited public enquiry into the building of an incinerator at the former Wealden Brickworks, Horsham. No Incinerator 4 Horsham (Ni4H) have been campaigning tirelessly to dismiss the appeal to build an incinerator and they need your help with fund raising to pay for their barrister and experts to present the case for local residents. Ni4H are also continuing to work with local Parish Councils and other groups interested in protecting the local environment.

The appeal starts on Tuesday 29th October and is expected to continue for 12 days over 3 weeks (excluding Mondays) at Horsham Sports Club, Cricketfield Road, Horsham, RH12 1TE. Members of the public are welcome to observe, request to speak for a few minutes representing themselves,

someone else or an organisation.

To assist the Inspector, Ni4H is collating names of local residents and organisations who wish to speak at the Inquiry. The Inspector is considering an evening session for those unable to otherwise attend. So do contact Ni4H if you are prepared to do a 3-minute talk about your views at the inquiry. Or failing that, on page 47 of the What’s On pages you can find out about attending ‘Rock Off 2’ on 22nd November at Warnham Comrades Club to raise much needed funds for the campaign. Ni4H has galvanised a huge community effort to fight the incinerator and they need all your help and support now that ‘D-Day’ has arrived.

VAT EXCEPTION nrbpqflkW=

I

have been trading as a contract cleaning company since July 2018. My company breached the VAT registration limit early this month. Unfortunately, I have some health problems and will be looking to sell the business at the beginning of 2020. Does the company still need to VAT register, knowing that the turnover will be below the deregistration limit in the next 12 months? I seem to recall that HMRC will accept this as a basis for not registering. ^kptboW

T

he policy you are thinking about is known as exception from registration.

HMRC have discretion to except a business from VAT registration but only if the business can demonstrate that: • taxable turnover has exceeded the VAT registration limit under the backward test (85k of sales in the last 12 months) rather than the forward test (85k of sales in the next 30 days), and • at the time of exceeding, that there are reasons why the turnover will drop below the deregistration limit (currently £83K) in the next 12 months.

Further information regarding exception from VAT registration and details on how to apply can be found in the Revenue manuals, try searching the internet for vatreg19000.

HMRC’s policy regarding exceptions from VAT registration is to apply the general deregistration rules held within paragraph 4(1) Schedule 1 VAT Act 1994 (paraphrased here): Please mention SOUTHWATER Life when responding to adverts

• a person who has become liable to be VAT registered shall cease to be so liable if the Commissioners are satisfied that the value of his taxable supplies in the 12 months ahead will not exceed £83k.

• the above exception will not apply in cases where taxable supplies cease or are suspended for 30 days or more.

If your business is being sold as a company, trade will not cease and the business turnover would not then be affected by any health problem you might be experiencing.

If you are trading as a sole trader, you might transfer the VAT registration to the new owner which again would mean trade is not ceasing.

Alternatively, a sole trade business might cease at the point of business sale. However, cessation of trade is specifically mentioned above as not being eligible for an exception.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely HMRC will agree an exception from VAT registration solely on the basis that you intend to sell the business, unless you can demonstrate a palpable downturn in turnover and that this will continue to be the case for the next 12 months.

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 via telephone on 01403 750046, or visit our website.

WINTER WARMTH _ó=gÉ~åÉííÉ=jÉêÅÉê

A

s days get darker and colder it’s tempting to huddle up, turn up the heating and hibernate until the winter is over. But that really is a waste, so here are some of our favourite ways to beat the winter blues.

Make sure your home is efficiently heated.

Being cold is miserable but sitting in t-shirts in December with the heating blazing is ridiculous.

Check out the Energy Saving Trust website for tips on saving energy, money and reducing your carbon footprint. Their section on Thermostats and Controls is especially useful www.energysavingtrust.org.uk Modern heating controls, especially the digital kind you can operate from an app on your mobile, give you the ability to ‘tweak’ the heating in your home, allowing you to reduce the heat if it’s unseasonably warm, or you’re going away for a long weekend for example.

Sleep soundly On a cold, grey winter’s morning getting out of bed is effort enough, but it’s even worse if you’ve had a bad night’s sleep. Overheated rooms affect quality of sleep, so a bedroom that is too warm is both wasting energy and affecting your ability to rest properly. According to The Sleep Council the ideal temperature is about 1618 degrees C. See their website for lots more tips on creating the best environment for sleep www.sleepcouncil.org.uk Snuggle up Winter months in the UK are not one consistent temperature, so flexibility is the key to getting the heat levels just right. Have an extra layer available for the bed for the coldest nights and try to buy good quality, sustainable products. You can now even get duvets filled with recycled plastic bottles, and having slept under one

18

NOVEMBER 2019

recently and matching pillows, I can thoroughly recommend them!

If you hunker down on an evening or weekend with a box set or the latest series on catch up, remember that you’ll tend to feel colder if you’re sitting still for a long time. Try to move around a bit (well someone has to get up and fetch the hot chocolate…) and treat your sofa to a cosy throw to avoid the temptation to turn up the heat.

Get some fresh air Make the most of sunny winter days with a walk in the woods, local park or the beach. If you have a garden there are always things to do - just remember if you’re clearing up to leave plants and berries and seeds that wildlife might use for food.

Get crafty Making and repairing things is a great way to beat the winter blues. Collect natural materials (and inspiration) on walks, Pinterest is full of ideas for simple artwork - you don’t need to be a great artist. Have a go at up-cycling an old piece of furniture or frame some of those holiday photos to cheer you up when it’s gloomy outside.

For more ideas on a sustainable home find us on Facebook, Instagram or our website: www.kinderliving.co.uk

FROM TWICKENHAM TO TOKYO

A

fter more than 4 months, 8 countries and 7,200 miles, intrepid cyclist and triple cancer survivor Patrick McIntosh has arrived home to Surrey on 1st October following his epic Lifecycle challenge.

Patrick (pictured right) set himself the ultimate test of endurance, cycling from Twickenham to Tokyo in time for the opening game of the Rugby World Cup on 20 September to raise money to build a new home for his local hospice. So far, Patrick has raised over £50,000, with this being split between St Catherine’s Hospice and World Cancer Research. The total is expected to climb as further pledges are fulfilled. The 62-year-old has survived bowel, prostate and skin cancer and is now determined to raise awareness of the fight against cancer.

In May, Patrick 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 he headed to Twickenham Stadium before cycling across Europe. As June approached, Patrick began a successful attempt to cross Russia in 90 days, following the historic line of the trans-siberian railway and finally arriving by ferry in southern Japan to cycle the final 1000km to reach Tokyo on 18 September.

Talking about the ride, Patrick said: “I am delighted to have reached Tokyo. It’s been a bit hairy at times but I’ve beaten three cancers and had major surgery. So I was jolly well going to get to Tokyo come hell or high water. I am proud to have been able to do this and prove what’s possible after cancer.”

Generally physically I’ve been absolutely amazed by how well my body kept up. I think the more challenging thing was the mental side of it. Having to get up whether it’s raining or boiling hot and cycle another 70 to 100 miles a day. It was really difficult.

But it was fantastic seeing all the different

20

NOVEMBER 2019

cultures as we were riding up through Europe and into Russia, seeing the different parts and being greeted by people was absolutely fabulous.

It’s an honour to support St Catherine’s as part of my 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. When you’re seriously ill you need all the support you can get.

Having the support of St Catherine’s expert nurses, doctors and wider teams really helps people to stay positive and live well for as long as they can.

Staying positive and living well were things I found crucial to my own survival. Despite being told the most depressing news I tried not to let it get me down and believed that I could still make the most of life. Now I hope I’ll inspire and motivate others to do the same.”

Along the way, Patrick has been supported by a myriad of people, including Glenn Fisher who drove his support vehicle and his neighbour, Dame Judi Dench, who met with Patrick to wish him good luck before he left and to give him a lucky charm in the form of a silver four-leaved clover, which Patrick had attached to his bicycle throughout his Lifecycle.

SLIMMING WORLD

SARAH SHARES SLIMMING SECRETS

A

slimmer who transformed her life by losing 3 stone is using her success to shape a whole new career helping other people change their lives and achieve their weight loss dreams too. Sarah Kewley joined her local Slimming World and now runs the very successful group at Southwater!

“Support is really the most important thing. As someone who has lost weight myself I know the challenges people can face, which is why, along with the group, I will be there to support every one of my members all the way to their chosen target weight. That’s why, at my Slimming World group, there’ll be tons of support, encouragement and fun.

I thought I was destined to stay the weight I was for the rest of my life, but when I came to Slimming

World it was different. I never felt like I was on a diet.

The eating plan encourages you to eat lots of tasty, filling foods like pasta, rice, Sarah before and after. potatoes and lean meat and fish, you are never hungry and no foods are banned so there’s no deprivation. I’d found a way to lose weight without starving myself.

Sarah’s Southwater Slimming World has recently moved to the lovely Castlewood Primary School and now offers both 5:30 and 7:30 pm sessions.

You can also join Sarah at Holbrook Horsham every Friday from 9:30 & 11:30 am. For more information you can call Sarah on 07855 860505.

VISIT FROM SOUTHWATER WARDENS

J

ust over two months ago our AGM was held on 24th July which was well attended despite the heat. We opened doors and windows at the Village Hall to gain some advantage of a slight breeze. Past and forth coming business was discussed and there were annual reports from Deborah, Teresa before those on our Committee were all voted in again.

Thereafter followed a general knowledge quiz and an enjoyable cream tea.

We resumed meetings on 4th September after the August break and had a surprise in store! We were joined by our two Southwater Wardens, Jacquie and Dominic, who were a real pleasure to meet. After explaining their duties they chatted at individual tables where Dominic, being so tall, had to kneel in front of their tables for a face to face!

Our guests on 18th September were Southern

Water with Sharon and Matt who talked us through the procedures of how our water becomes drinkable. West Sussex water is obtained from ground water stored in aquivers and four reservoirs, however due to our south eastern location, we should always remember we have to conserve this precious commodity.

On 2nd October we were lucky to have the sun out for our outing to The Witterings followed by a WI cream tea at Siddlesham Hall. After a walk and explore, we also saw the Isle of Wight before we coached on to St Mary's Church Hall to meet the lovely WI Ladies who outdid themselves to provide a scrumptious feast! A lovely day out!

HORSHAM LIONS CLUB

SWIMARATHON SUPPORTS CHARITY

H

orsham Lions Club biggest annual event, the Swimarathon, will be the ninth next year to be run at The Pavilions in the Park Leisure Centre.

Over the last eight years the Swimarathon has raised over £56,000 which has been donated to a number of local schools, organisations and charities.

The 2020 Swimarathon takes place on Sunday 15th March 2020 starting at 12 noon and the closing date for entries is 3rd February 2020.

In 2017 and 2018 the event supported Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice which provides a wide range of services for children with life-shortening conditions and their families. Over the last two years the event has raised an amazing £18,192.29 for the hospice.

In 2019, the Swimarathon suported Jigsaw Trust which provides specialist education and support for children and adults with autism, based on Dunsfold Park in Surrey.

The aims of Jigsaw Trust are to improve the lives of those affected by an autism spectrum disorder and to promote a greater knowledge and understanding of autism. The event raise £5,500 was used to refurbish the childrens play area.

In 2020 the Swimarathon is supporting Horsham Matters which is a small charity making a big impact on the local community in Horsham. Formed in 2006, Horsham Matters works to relieve hardship through the provision of essential services (food, fuel, shelter) in order to make a positive, long-lasting impact on people’s lives.

30

NOVEMBER 2019

Crucial to this support in the community is providing emergency food for individuals and families through the Horsham District Foodbank and running the Horsham Night Shelter which provides homeless people with a bed and food for the winter months.

Along with these services, the charity provides starter furniture for single people and couples being housed into accommodation with no possessions.

Horsham Matters would like to develop a Community Hub, in which we will work together with other organisations and partner agencies to provide a ‘one stop shop’ for vulnerable residents. Part of this vision includes The Hub Café, where those that can pay do so and those that are facing financial difficulties are subsidised or eat free. The money which is raised through the Horsham Lions Club Swimarathon 2020 will go towards setting up this café and will contribute to creating a strong, safe and healthy community.

Horsham Lions Club will be donating the majority of its share of monies raised from the 2020 Swimarathon and the remaining balance will be used for helping local good causes supported by Horsham Lions Club.

The amount donated will include, tax recovered under Gift Aid. Swimarathon teams can consist of people aged eight to 70 upwards: • The team can include up to six swimmers plus an adult non-swimming team captain.

• The first team member swims on length of the pool and then rests while the other members take turns to swim a length of 25 metres.

• The first swimmer then swims again and so on, for 55 minutes.

• The first teams start swimming at 12 noon with other teams starting –on the hour- until 4pm when the last teams start their swim. Eight teams can be accommodated each hour.

You can enter our team today by e-mailing Lion David Trowbridge at david@trowbridge.me.uk to request an entry form and information pack.

Local man, Bob Phillips remembers the excitement as a young lad of watching the bustling activities of this temporary airfield as it went about its vital business supporting the Allied invasion of France.

Bob still lives on the edge of what was the airfield,and when one of his oak trees was brought down in the great storm of 1997 he stored the timber, donating recently the very last two planks to the Shipley Men's Shed .

From this oak, the Shedders have now fashioned a rustic bench which has been placed next to the fifteen oak trees and facing south across the airfield towards the Normandy landing grounds. Walkers and visitors may now sit in quiet contemplation at this tranquil spot and take in the beautiful Sussex countryside.

Richard Harris is a Trustee of the Horsham and Shipley Community Project which includes, among many activities, the Shipley Men's Shed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to create a resting place for walkers to read the information board and then take a moment. And when Bob came forward with this timber from one of only a few oak trees that survived the construction of the airfield, we had to use it.

BOOK REVIEW

HORSHAM DISTRICT IN 100 OBJECTS

A

land of castles, lakes and a dragon demands an amazing book to tell its story. And that is what has been crafted. Using over 230 photographs and 100,000 words, The Heritage of Horsham District in 100 objects, explores and celebrates the land that lies between Gatwick and Brighton.

Using 100 objects as signposts, the book by Horsham Museum Curator Jeremy Knight and edited by Michael Burt, Chairman of the Horsham District Heritage Forum, draws on objects put forward by the Forum to tell a 100 million year old story through 13 themes and so creates a real eye opener.

Very few towns in the world have a dinosaur named after it, but Horsham does, the Horshamosaurus, so that became object 1 in the list of 100. But then the story explored the telling of the other dinosaur finds in the District including the Great Horsham Iguanodon,(no 2) the inspiration for the Crystal Palace/Sydenham Park Victorian creation.

However, the biggest surprise was the discovery made by the Horsham Archaeological Group of a Mural Crown Pot, (no 8) not well known in the world of Roman archaeology, but an amazing pot that combines both Roman architectural prowess and religious beliefs. This complements the Wiggonholt water cistern or water tank (no 9) bearing the Christian symbol, now on display at Parham House, which itself is one of the 100 objects.

One decision made early on was that the objects did not have to be small, portable affairs, but could be man-made structures. Therefore, the Wey and Arun canal that pops in and out of the District features as no 17 in the 100 objects. The creation of a waterway from London to Portsmouth to avoid the French fleet during the Napoleonic Wars made a fascinating story and the fact that today the heritage item has been “re-purposed” as a leisure resource, provides an added

36

NOVEMBER 2019

dimension. The canal did not feature in the Transport chapter, but in Warfare along with the cannons (no 16) that were the gateposts to the Napoleonic military depot in Horsham. Obviously in a land of castles, lakes and a dragon, the castles of Knepp (14) and Bramber (13) are included, Bramber being the most prominent, Knepp, because of its military history, the stone of part of which was used to build the A24 which is another interesting story.

Some stories are poignant, covering themes which resonate with the world today; such as the posters for the abolition of slavery (33), over 200 years old and yet still a contemporary issue; back then as an emotive a subject as Brexit is today. Last year the nation marked Women’s Suffrage, which was celebrated in Henfield with two mosaics; they feature in the book at number 36 along with the barely known stories of Henfield ladies’ involvement in the movement, a story that involved an American actress who settled in Henfield and entertained noted guests, as shown in the Backsettown Visitor book (37).

The book, published by Horsham Museum as part of the Horsham District Council’s Year of Culture, also covers themes such as Work, from the Wealden iron firebacks (no 63) which act as a signpost to tell the heritage of the iron industry, to a poster for Walter Wood’s mower (67), a paper record of an important local industry, whilst the Patriot Engineers, a Horsham based company, established only for the duration of WWII is recorded through a commemorative brochure (68).

BOOK REVIEW

As opposed to work, the chapter on Play includes cricket, the sport of the District, with over a 300 year old legacy from the earliest known local match recorded in 1719 at Henfield; the story of cricket is highlighted by an unusual shop sign (pictured right) , a set of cricket stumps (82). Its ancestor, stoolball is illustrated with a rare postcard (83) of an early 20th century match at Cowfold, and football a photograph of an amateur side, Carfax United (pictured left) from 1902-3 (84). The sport that died out, bull baiting, which in Horsham went out of fashion in 1813 is recounted using the bull ring (87).

Agriculture has always been a feature of the District’s life. Therefore, from Bramber the book includes a charming portrait of George Bailey (61), whose life story stands for the life of the shepherd and farmworker. From Cowfold Capons Farm ( 55) is used to illustrate the yeoman farmer, while the Tithe Barn from Sullington Manor (57) illustrates another aspect of agricultural and farming life.

Please mention SOUTHWATER Life when responding to adverts

The Heritage of Horsham District in 100 Objects is a culmination of over 30 years working with the District’s heritage. It is a fascinating account and will hopefully encourage people to discover more about the area they live or work in.

The book is available from 8 October from local bookshops and from Horsham Museum & Art Gallery priced £19.99. Horsham Museum is open Monday-Saturday 10am – 5pm. Admission is free.

hristmas is the perfect time of year to treat our pets but can also result in an increase in potential toxins around the house.

Christmas plants like mistletoe and poinsettia can cause drooling, vomiting and diarrhoea if ingested and in large amounts, mistletoe may result in weakness, heart disturbances and seizures.

Ensure these plants are kept out of reach of our furry friends.

With lots of yummy food we can be tempted to overindulge our pets, however fatty foods can result in vomiting, diarrhoea or even pancreatitis. Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical similar to caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system and can cause agitation, seizures and heart disturbances. Christmas cake or pudding containing raisins, currants and sultanas can result in kidney failure. The toxic mechanism is unknown but even very small quantities can be a problem. Macadamia nuts can cause vomiting, weakness and a high temperature but again the toxic mechanism is unknown.

Our pets must not be allowed to scavenge these Christmas foods.

As we all know, some animals will eat anything and gut obstruction as a result of consumption of tree and cake decorations, tinsel, wrapping ribbons, toys or cooked meat bones can result in the need for surgical removal.

If you are concerned your pet has eaten anything discussed in this article, please contact your vet immediately.

We wish you and your pets a very Merry Christmas! Tel: 01403 791011. www.maltmancosham.co.uk Please mention SOUTHWATER Life when responding to adverts
