Welcome

Welcome to the July Edition It has been brought to my attention that some of the wording used in our June Beacon Hill article has upset some readers, this was never our intention so I would like to apologise for any offence caused. This month’s cover by Colette shows a field of rather pretty Linseed (I think), it is a rather useful plant as the fibres can be used as flax for linen, and the seeds for making oil. The cloud formations shown are called Wave clouds and are formed as stable air flows over a raised land feature, possibly just like the hill in the photo. There is plenty going on this month so have a look and fingers crossed we get some decent weather so that everyone can get out and really enjoy their summer. Take care.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 117

What is a VPN? Have you seen the TV adverts about VPN’s? The one where the lady in the lift has another person peering over her shoulder to watch what’s on her phone? The advert claims that if you get a VPN you will be safe from snoopers online. But what is a VPN? VPN is the acronym for Virtual Private Network Virtual: It acts like a private connection directly to any website or another computer you connect to. Private: All your website visits and online activity is solely between you and the websites you visit. Network: You are using a special network of VPN servers that covers the entire globe. A VPN enables you to access the web safely and privately by routing your connection and hiding your online actions. By providing you with a temporary IP address it hides your true IP address from every website or email you connect with. To get your own VPN you’ll need to sign up for online, usually for a small monthly charge. All your

data is then encrypted and wherever you visit online they will see your data as coming from the VPN server and its location, and not from your computer and your location. This in turn means that it is very difficult to identify you or your computer as the source of the data, to identify what you’re doing, what websites you’re visiting, and what data you’re transferring. Why Should I Use A VPN? By encrypting your activity on the web, you are browsing without others knowing where you’ve been. By hiding your location, you can access geoblocked content, for example on Netflix and other sites. It gives you anonymity when you’re online. Keeps your mobile devices secure when using a public WiFi hotspot. If you would like to know more about VPNs, please get in touch with us.

Clifden House News

Alison’s Corner Unveiled at Clifden House A much loved ‘friend and guest’ has been honoured with a dedicated bench and a commemorative blue plaque in the gardens of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford, where she lived for the last three years of her life. Known as ‘Alison’s Corner, it was unveiled by her loving husband Barry, on what would have been Alison’s 75�� birthday. Following Alison’s dementia diagnosis in 2015, Barry cared for her at home for as long as he was able. Barry visited Alison daily following her move to Clifden House. Barry said: “When I walked into Clifden House I had a really good feeling. For the first time in a long time, I had a sense of calm. I knew that Alison would be happy here.” Nial Joyce of Clifden House, said: “During Alison’s time with us her story touched the hearts of many of our team. Alison was diagnosed with a very rare form of dementia, known as Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA). Due to the nature of her condition, staff needed to be very adaptive to her needs. Barry told us a lot about Alison’s past, particularly her talent and love of music, so we endeavoured to support and encourage this aspect. We were able to witness the joy and comfort that this brought her.”

“We hope that ‘Alison’s corner’ will serve as a lasting tribute to her life and the devotion between her and Barry during their nearly fifty-year marriage. We look forward to welcoming Barry whenever he wishes to visit Alison’s corner and remember happier times.” The wording of the plaque, commemorating Alison as a ‘friend and guest’ proved particularly moving to Barry, who commented “It is such a nice way of regarding all the residents at Clifden House who need help and care with their daily lives. I would like to publicly thank all the staff for the way you have presented the bench in ‘Alison’s corner’ and for the dedicated care she received during her time with you.” Clifden House is a family-run dementia care centre that has developed into a leader in specialist dementia care. Their aim is to facilitate each person to continue to live a fulfilling and active life, with privacy, dignity and security, for as long as possible. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk T: 01323 896460

Pippa’s Guardians

Host Families Wanted Every year, thousands of school age overseas students are educated at independent schools across the UK. When their school closes for half term holidays and exeat weekends, they need a great host family who will provide a home away from home. Pippa’s Guardians has been providing high quality Guardianship services to international students for 21 years and understand the value of a good home and how a host family can positively impact on a student’s wellbeing.

independent schools locally in the South East, so please do spread the word if you know anyone who might be interested. For further information contact: annabel@pippasguardians.co.uk

The families we look for are welcoming and interested in other cultures. Having children of similar ages helps (most students are between 14 and 19 years) but isn’t the most important thing as we have many successful host families who have younger children or children away at University or some that are retired with grown-up children. Internet access is very important, and each student will need their own bedroom with a desk or somewhere quiet for homework. Being part of a family and experiencing day-to-day family life enhances students’ study and plays a part in improving their English language. As well as receiving a generous payment, there are many other advantages in being a host family. It is a great opportunity to introduce your family to other cultures and languages. Sharing your traditions and family life with an overseas student and knowing that you are helping them during their time in the UK is very gratifying. Long-term friendships often develop, and many host families keep in touch with the students and their families once they are back home. We are very keen to find families locally. Our students are currently based at Roedean School, Brighton College and other To advertise call 01273 586527 or email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

Bridgefordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Bites

The Effects of Stress We all get stressed from time to time. The body has a normal physiological, biochemical process designed to respond to stress and is well equipped to deal with in the short term. The problem we have is with continued long term stress that we can start to get all sorts of problems accumulating. Stress is "the nonspecific response of the body to any demand", i.e. this is not a psychological term, but a TOTAL REACTION of a person to all the demands of their environment. Familiar Response to Stress: We can all recognise the initial body response to stress, the fight or flight: heart rate/blood pressure rises to pump more blood, respiration increases for more oxygen, sweating increases to flush waste and cool the body as core temperature rises, muscle strength increases, pupils dilate for more sensitive vision and senses are more acute to identify threats. Less obvious Response to Stress: You may be less aware of processes that occur to create the above responses: increase in adrenalin, cortisol, DHEA and other hormones; sugars and fats release into the blood for energy; digestion slows, salivation and gut enzyme activity decrease and blood is diverted to muscles; blood clotting increases to prevent bleeding; white blood count reduces, spleen contracts, lymphocyte production decreases; protein storage is depleted. Short Term Stress: The fight or flight response is a normal and natural process in the body to help us deal with an emergency situation. When we use up the hormones created to either flee or fight, the body chemistry quickly returns to normal when the event is over. In modern society, this is not acceptable behaviour and acting out fight/flight may cause further stress! Long Term (Unresolved) Stress: Biochemistry created for a fight or flight response that is not used up can create a toxic overload and unwanted processes in the body, eventually burning out key nutrients. The body is an amazing creation that is always doing its best to maintain homeostasis - the status quo. This first stage of response is the adaptive phase. Continued ongoing stress leads to the resistance phase where the body increases hormone output and nervous activity and the size of the adrenals (glands on top of the kidneys that produce adrenalin) may increase. Exhaustion phase, or burnout is where the body is no longer able to respond adequately; from the continued ongoing stress response, which is attempt to create homeostasis there is over activity of adrenals and cardiac blood vessels; hormone and electrolyte imbalance, decreased potassium, and increased sodium and we can hardly get up out of bed! The body is still attempting to do its best and we are not helping it!

What can we do to Relieve the Effects of Stress? A common response to stress is to ignore it, deny it, drink more alcohol, smoke more, eat fast foods, exercise less or more, ignore our health and relationships and hope it will go away. Alternatively an increased awareness can lead to us being stressed about being stressed! None of these are really helpful or healthy. It seems to be part of the human condition that it is easy to lose good habits and gain bad ones; to gain good habits or lose bad ones seems to take some kind of effort! The basics of life are simple: Eat, sleep, rest, breath well; drink enough water, spend time in nature, be creative, do what you love that inspires you, cultivate good relationships, be kind to yourself, be mindful of your needs. Sing, dance, mediate, do yoga. Breathing: A good exercise is to notice times throughout the day when you hold your breath; chances are that this is because you are experiencing stress in some form or another. When you notice you are holding your breath, your body will automatically start to breath better. Give a little thought to being mindful of your breathing. Slow down to go faster: Most of us have a tendency to rush around when we are stressed; this can lead to clumsiness, forgetfulness and irritability, especially if someone else slows us down. Clumsiness can lead to accidents, falls, injuries and breakages, which can also hamper our success and progress; having to recheck if we have done things or getting irritated with things out of our control only slows us down, which is counterproductive. It is good to take a deep breath, be mindful of our actions and get a better perspective on the situation. As well as Osteopathy, which can gently address the stress areas of the body, I have other gentle yet powerful skills to help deal with the effects of stress. Flower remedies help to release emotions, sound therapy or Vibrational healing has many applications as well as helping to balance the energies and flows in the body. Communication techniques from NLP and Hypnotherapy can help a person to feel relaxed. Functional Biochemistry using Applied Kinesiology can help to address the imbalances from stress. The patient is always in control of their own process and how we deal with it. We are happy to advise you on your health matters.

What do we Feel from Stress? The short term initial rush of adrenalin, added strength and focus is not a problem. If this hormone production continues we may start to feel tension in our muscles, particularly neck, shoulders, calves and low back. If the stress and hormone production is prolonged we may start to feel breathless, tired, irritable, impatient, we may experience sleep issues and be more prone to injuries as our ligaments are weakened. Eventually we may experience a bruised feeling in the back at the bottom of the ribs, as well as adaptive diseases such as raised blood pressure (hypertension), ulcers, asthma, digestive and blood sugar issues, hormone imbalance and impaired immune function leading to all manner of conditions, including allergies and intolerances, chest pain, etc. LOCAL BUSINESS

Nicki Lawes - Rottingdean Physiotherapist

Shoulder Rehabilitation Classes As a Chartered physiotherapist, I have a specialist interest in shoulders and assessing and managing them. Support is always vital if we are to be successful in our goals. Have you been given advice and exercises to help yourself, but you lack the motivation, time, confidence and knowledge to know if you are doing them correctly? I have a wealth of knowledge and lots of experience with rehabilitating shoulders and I believe I can help you to improve your shoulder health and learn how to make it more functional for you. Research has shown that 40% of us continue to have pain and disability after surgery or treatment. Research has also shown us that if we do appropriate exercises and are disciplined in doing so, our outcome can be equal to that of surgery. In my experience, patients do not do exercises as they feel they make their symptoms worse or they don’t work, or they lack time, confidence and motivation.

fractures/dislocations, hypermobility, bursitis, tendinopathy, recovering from shoulder surgery or waiting for shoulder surgery, stiff and tight upper back pain… there is something for everyone. *A full shoulder assessment is carried out before you start your class to ensure suitability and tailor the class to your individual needs. Testimonials ‘Nicki gives you lots of feedback on how to do an exercise, progress it or change it if it’s not suitable’ ‘Nicki’s classes are fun, hardworking and effective & I can now wash my windows and my back!’ ‘Recovering now (thankfully) from a frozen shoulder, very thankful to Nicki for her help and early morning shoulder rehab cases. Highly recommend’

The aim of my class is to offer support and education, listen to your concerns and coach you with specific exercises which will help you to move forward. Improve your shoulder health and in turn shoulder function, so you can get back to doing the things you love most! Shoulder pain is a long-term condition and management is vital. Therefore come and learn to improve your shoulder health, weather you have arthritis, torn muscles, weak shoulders, painful catching shoulders, frozen shoulder, failed injections, past LOCAL BUSINESS

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve I’ve had a couple of odd conversations on the Nature Reserve lately… One chap asked me why we bother with scrub clearance as “it’s only nature doing its thing” and we were wasting our time as would never get rid of all the brambles. As I looked at his smooth face, methodically shaved each morning to stop a beard growing, I wondered on the irony of his opinion. A few days later, a second man, a local resident for over 40 years, said that he much preferred it when the hill was mechanically mown and thought the brambles were never seen back then. I said that we were diligently hand pulling to protect wildlife such as slow worms, lizards, voles and the like and that we had seen a huge increase in ant hills which is a good thing. The brambles are getting thinner and thinner the longer we go on but he retorted that we were being very optimistic with our vision. Aha – yes we are all indeed very optimistic so that was a very good observation ! We all know that the manual scrub bash is like holding back the tide but after seeing the results of our diligence in attacking the bramble experiment area for the last 3 years, we feel that it’s a worthwhile pass time.

We meet for a 2 hour session on the 2ⁿ� Tuesday and 4�� Friday of each month, 10AM at the Beacon Hub carpark. We always look forward to having new members so come and join in the fun. FOBeaconHill@gmail.com 01273 983000 www.facebook.com/beaconhillrottingdean

What we do on the nature reserve is so much more than just conservation. Our ever growing and dedicated group of volunteers get a real feeling of taking part in something worthwhile twice a month along with having a great time. We chat, laugh and sing while we work and, come wind or shine (we tend not to work in the rain), we always come away smiling. Often we go for a coffee, or sometimes something stronger, as 2 hours is simply not enough time to complete our chats. It has long been recognised that getting out into the fresh air and doing some gentle exercise is good for mental health and general wellbeing, a statement our group will readily agree with. The summer flowers are starting to come through now and we are hopeful of a beautiful show again this year. We’ll be manning a stand at the Rottingdean Village Fair on 3�� August. Come along to say hello and find out how you can join in the conservation conversation

Rottingdean Fair: Fifty Years On

On the first Saturday in August you can enjoy the Rottingdean Village Fair. Two years ago I wrote about the Fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history: how the first Village Fair was opened by Mrs Stanley Baldwin at The Elms in 1926 and has been held annually since then with the exception of the war years. For many years it commenced with a costumed cavalcade along the High Street organised by the late Mrs Winifred Hoyle of Norton House. It will be a few years before we can celebrate the centenary of the Fair so I thought it appropriate to look back fifty years to see what happened in 1969! Right: H H Corbett Below: Handbills from 1969

See us online at www.deansmagazine.co.uk

41 It sounds like an episode from Dad’s Army, many of whose stars have opened the fair in past years. The Committee, chaired by the Vicar, included representatives from every village organisation. The Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer were from Barclays and Lloyds banks respectively. They arranged for 4,000 programmes to be printed and for the celebrity opening. Harry H Corbett was to arrive by Horse drawn buggy at 11 am and would be given a watercolour of the pond. Miss World was to arrive at noon and receive a gift from the Vicar when the Australian the National Anthem would be played and the flag raised. Not only were all the villagers involved but also many properties surrounding the Green were brought into service, Hillside being used for banking, while The Grange Lodge was the Red Cross first aid post. The grand sum of £900 was distributed after the fair to the Royal Alexandra Children’s hospital, The Coppercliff Hospice and twelve village groups. A good sum in those days.

It has been opened by many celebrities over the years including: Alan Melville (1961) Tommy Trinder (1967) Dick Emery (1968) Harry H Corbett (1969) Jack Warner (1973) John le Mesurier (1976) Ronnie Corbett (1977 & 1980) Arthur Lowe (1981) John Inman (1982) Leslie Crowther (1986) Trevor McDonald (1994) Dame Vera Lynn (1999) Lesley Joseph (2003) In 2005 Elizabeth Taylor wrote a letter of support, recalling her happy days visiting Enid Bagnold in the village, following her starring role in the film of Enid’s novel, “National Velvet.” Below: a typical cavalcade, this one from the early 1990’s

Neighbourhood Watch

Home Security How to keep your home secure – by an ex-burglar (Michael) In this month’s edition and the following one, we highlight home security matters covered in Which Magazine May 2019. Make the wrong security choice and your home could be at risk! Burglary – Some Facts ● 71% of reformed burglars surveyed stated a burglar alarm would put them off a property. ● 45% of homes have a burglar alarm system (Please service regularly). ● 40% of householders leave home without locking doors. ● 46% of people burgled reported items worth more than £1000 stolen. ● £3,234 is the average total amount lost in burglaries in 2018. ● 83% of victims said they were emotionally affected by a burglary. ● The number of burglaries decreased by 1% for year ending September 2018. How does a burglar scope a property Primarily a burglar looks for a weakness in your security. Michael says that if an owner isn’t taking security seriously at the front of the house, you can guarantee the back of the house isn’t secure either. A burglar will look for tools and ladders at side and back of the house and check if sheds or outbuildings are properly secure. How to secure your house Michael says a good place to start is to stand and look at your house from the outside while considering how you would get in if

you lost your keys. Putting a burglar off before they even approach your house is the best way of preventing a burglary. Adding a second deadlock on external doors and installing visible window locks improves security. Smart security cameras are a very good addition, and motion-sensor lights at side and rear can be effective in scaring off burglars. Intercoms or video doorbell are good for doorstep safety. Neighbourhood Watch areas have significantly less burglaries so display signs in front window. Try to keep evidence of pets away from windows if possible as this could imply unlocked internal doors and alarm systems turned off. Tip – Keep your calendar out of view from windows as a burglar would be able to determine when house is likely to be empty. Burglary Prevention Checklist www.ourwatch.org.uk/crimesarchive/buglary-prevention-checklist/ Next Magazine article ● What are burglars looking for ● How to keep your valuables safe ● Identifying your items ● For more information about Saltdean, Rottingdean & Ovingdean NHW please contact Secretary Linda Hood 01273 306441 or email nhw.sro-sec@hotmail.co.uk. Or visit us on our stall at the summer fairs in Rottingdean. Always happy to have a chat and answer any questions.

Green Book

(Cert 12A)

Viggo Mortensen & Mahershala Ali My earliest memory of ‘Road Movies’ goes back to watching Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in films such as ‘The Road to Hong Kong’, ‘The Road to Morocco’, and ‘The Road to Rio’, in which the pair played vaudevillian stowaways on a Brazil-bound ocean liner. These were vehicles for Bing to sing, and Bob to look startled at the camera. Another staple of the films was Bob’s ham-fisted attempt to woo their co-star, whom I remember always being Dorothy Lamour. All brilliant fun. I was always excited to see one of the series in the schedules in TV Times. (Only posh people had the Radio Times.) The Road Movie has gone through various incarnations since those halcyon days, telling diverse stories of murderous robbers on the run, through to confused, inept gangs, in films like: ‘Bonnie and Clyde’, ‘Natural Born Killers’, and the Coen brothers’ excellent ‘Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?’. Fast forward to 2018 and the Comedy / Drama / Biopic ‘Green Book’ starring Viggo Mortensen (‘Captain Fantastic’, the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy) as Tony Lip; and Mahershala Ali (‘House of Cards’, ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’) as Doctor Donald Shirley.

unconventional twists and turns in both character and plot that keep you wanting more. This is not a preachy, liberal treatise on the rights and wrongs of black and white; a line crossed by other films about race, such as ‘Selma’. Here we have a film with heart and a lightness of touch, with characters that endear themselves to us through action, rather than speeches from the soap box. The 60’s come to life in the hands of Peter Farrelly (‘There’s Something About Mary’, ‘Dumber and Dumber’) and if you are a fan of those big old American cars that look a bit like moving bungalows, this is for you. The music from the touring trio, despite references to classical training, is mostly easy jazz; and I was always sorry when there wasn’t more of it Hugely entertaining and it delivers its message whilst not hitting you over the head with political diatribe. Next month we’re ‘dark’: back on Sept 24�� with our ‘Fisherman’s Friends’. Have a good summer. Jon

After losing his job at the Copacabana, Tony is summoned to a meeting in which Doctor Shirley is looking for a driver: nothing here to prompt us into re-creating that Bob Hope roll-of-the-eyes so far. Now, factor in that this is 1962; the applicant-driver is white; the Doctor is black - a Doctor of Music. Add to this the Doctor’s plan for a music tour of America’s deep south. In 1962, this region was famous for Elvis Presley, rednecks, and right-wing extremists. The law was deeply entrenched in segregation and continuing brutal behaviour towards black people, a hundred years after slavery was abolished: attitudes nowadays that leave us aghast and reaching for that Bob Hope expression. The film has been likened to the 1989 film ‘Driving Miss Daisy’, the similarity being that both cover the chauffeur – employer relationship. There the similarity ends. ‘Green Book’ has more substance. The Doctor’s effete, exacting nature is in dramatic, comic, contrast to Bronx-Tony’s cavalier, door-bouncer sensibilities, which ultimately dig Dr. Shirley out of many difficult situations during the tour. Like last month’s film ‘First Man’, we’re invited to see the world through 1960s eyes, where, in the American South, blacks were only able to eat in certain restaurants, stay in certain hotels (as described in the Green Book), and where the signage ‘colored’ denoted where black people were allowed. There is, however, more to this film than meets the eye; and, at the risk of including spoilers, there are

Local Charity News

Local Charity Earns Top Award Local charity working with blind and partially sighted people is awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. East Sussex Association of Blind and Partially Sighted People (ESAB), based in East Sussex, has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in this year’s Birthday Honours list from Her Majesty the Queen. The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service is the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK to recognise outstanding work done in their own communities. It was created in 2002 to celebrate the anniversary of The Queen's coronation. It is the MBE for volunteer groups. ESAB has been in existence for 95 years looking after people who are blind or partially sighted. They have 216 volunteers working in a wide range of roles including running 19 social groups across the county. They also run a home visiting service, work at their HQ in Hailsham and Brighton, assist members with computer equipment and provide assistance on training courses. Daniel Brookbank, the Chief Executive of ESAB, said: “I am immensely proud to say that in 2019 ESAB has won this prestigious award. The award recognises the amazing work every single one of our volunteers does for ESAB. ESAB could not do all the work it does without the volunteers who are dedicated, hardworking and kind. “The social groups, in particular, are key to our work helping our members be more independent and less isolated. With funding getting tighter and tighter it is more important than ever to have such a wonderful army of individuals who are such an asset to us. This award is for every single one of our volunteers and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all that you do.” ESAB are planning a volunteer celebration later in the year and look forward to the Lord Lieutenant of the County, Mr Peter Field, who is also their Patron, presenting them with the award.

For further information please contact Daniel Brookbank, CEO of ESAB, on 01323 832252.

Upcoming Events

Rottingdean Village Fair This year’s Rottingdean Village Fair will be on the Green and in Kipling Gardens on Saturday 3rd August between 10.30am – 4pm. There will be over 50 stalls and side shows organised by a mix of commercial groups and local charities and organisations, to include food, crafts, games, vintage goods, activities, traditional fair rides and live entertainment throughout the day. This year we are encouraging everyone to wear a hat – any hat!

A large car park will be available on the left just past the fair driving north. This is a self-funding event with all the money raised going to a range of charities and local community groups including this year’s nominated charity, the Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team. So do come along to amble around and then relax by the pond with a brew whether it be tea or beer and treat yourself to a burger, a scone or why not both? It promises, as ever, to be a wonderful quintessentially English event in glorious surroundings.

An Extravagance of Music for a Saltdean Summer Night Saturday, July 20th, St Martin’s Church, Longridge Ave, Saltdean, BN2 8LR (the church on the hill) Two bands, 11 musicians, umpteen instruments including voices - don’t miss this Saltdean evening, whatever you do. ‘Twagger Band’ - it’s folk, but probably not as you know it. There’s a serpent, a hammered dulcimer, a harp, concertinas, small pipes, and maybe the odd music-hall song. Plenty of banter, too. ‘Work in Progress’– six piece jazz swing band. Mainstream jazz favourites – for dancing to, singing or just tapping your feet. Trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, piano/keyboard, guitar and drums. They sing too. All musicians are locally-sourced, completely organic - and truly unmissable. Tickets on sale from June 29th, to include light refreshments in the interval, cost only £8.00 (children £4) from the H&R Hardware Store in Longridge Avenue, or the Premium Post Office in

Lustrells Vale or by phoning Rob Upward on 01273 309097. (Check this phone number before travelling, if paying on the door.) The Cameo Club at St Martin’s church (CAMEO standing for Come And Meet Each Other) meets about six times a year, and offers a wide range of social events and activities both for members of the church, and for everyone in the Saltdean community and beyond. ALSO Save the Barn Dance Date - St Martin’s annual barn dance, held at St Nicholas’ Church Hall, Saltdean Vale (just to confuse you), is on Sat Oct 19 this year. Publicity arriving - in due course. Produced by the St Martin’s CAMEO club, for friendship and community. FB: Saltdean Folk Twitter: @Saltdeanfolk E: saltdeanfolk@gmail.com

We would like to say a big thank you to the large number of people who came to help us set up and take down at our Fayre in Rottingdean in June and especially those who stayed for the whole day.

There will be an overall winner by taking the winner of each of the 12 classes to take part in the judgement of best in show. There will be Goody Bags for all entrants (while stocks last), prizes for winners and rosettes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each class and of course a great prize for best in show.

Local Therapist

Pain Therapist Penny Koster Myofascial Release - the gentle release of connective tissue, I have a beautiful log cabin in my garden where I work from, it is an incredibly relaxing and gentle space. I have been a therapist for many years, I have a lot of different qualifications and training, but the therapy I am most passionate about and know first‐hand works completely is myofascial release, Myo-fascial is the connective tissue which joins everything together, covers everything, fills all the gaps holds you together, it has the memory of your life, it relays messages to your brain faster than the nervous System, every single thing that happens to you in your life whether it be good or bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial system, The fascia is like a giant web made up of collagen, elastin and ground substance it covers you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your skin, it moves constantly within your body, it penetrates, covers, protects every organ, muscle, ligament, tendon, bones everything- we are fascia, scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone hard and dehydrated, that is why generally women get more lower back problems then men because they have hysterectomies, C-sections and end up with fascia that is damaged, dehydrated and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and consequently pulls on areas like the lower back, fascia can become hardened dehydrated and stop moving and therefore cause problems, discomfort, pain, disease for many many different reasons I generally call it life. Another example because we are one complete unit everything is connected you could have a pain in your shoulder and the pain could possibly originate in your lower back, or maybe your neck or both. Myofascial release is being called the missing link and I passionately believe this to be true, I believe in the not too distant future everyone will be having these treatments, The cause of discomfort, pain is the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer that has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated, no longer moving position! An Analogy if you step on a hosepipe the flow is impaired. I am highly trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body

read to know where the problem is and then to un-stick it.. The whole world needs to know about this treatment! I feel very passionately that everyone should understand how it works, and as much as possible be able to do it to themselves and each other. There is no such thing as 'I have that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs to have pain! Exceptions being if you break a leg or have an accident et cetera, I give these treatments which are extremely powerful but at the Same time very gentle, I also educate people so that they can self-care in the future and when they have a pain they understand why it's happening, and what they can do about it, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN PAIN. Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer than others, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! If you're interested in having a treatment and want to learn more about myofascial release and myself please go to: www.trigger-points.me.uk or phone me on 07951 117826

Badgers a Big Hit with Tennis Fans With the tennis season now in full swing and Wimbledon fever gripping the nation now is the perfect time to get out on court and smash a few winners – or at least give it your best shot! Badgers Tennis Club in the heart of Kemptown is gearing up for an action-packed summer with members making the most of the superb facilities both on and off the court. Hidden behind high stone walls and framed by a church spire, the beautifully kept grounds are often described as a secret garden. In fact first-time visitors are often amazed to find such peace and tranquillity just minutes from the bustle of the city centre. Founded in 1895, the club has been completely refurbished over the last few years and offers members four courts - three all-weather and one carpet – and a fantastic purpose-built club house and bar.

The club is also available for private hire and a great setting for birthday and wedding parties. Local community groups often hold meets and events at the club and members of the club are always on hand to help if needed. Badgers also has a thriving and very successful junior membership producing many national and county champions. There are several courses on offer for youngsters from mini tennis to performance squads for more advanced players. School holiday camps are also a popular feature. All in all Badgers is the perfect place to play tennis, have some fun and meet new friends. There is certainly something for everyone so why not come along and have a look at the facilities or log on to www.badgerstennis.com for all contact information.

Players of all standards are well catered for with club afternoons and evenings, coached courses, drop-in groups and training sessions. The club’s team of fully qualified coaches are always on hand to offer help and advice and run weekly sessions aimed at improvers and more advanced players. Courses for beginners are held periodically and private tuition is also available. Club sessions on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Thursday evenings are open to all members with the emphasis on fun, social tennis. For more competitive players, there are opportunities to join the men and ladies’ squads with teams being entered into both the summer and winter competitions of the Sussex County Leagues. The spectacular club house is in fact put to good use throughout the year with a packed calendar of parties, quiz nights, cocktail evenings and the popular Wimbledon draw.
