Welcome

Welcome to the May Edition Colin Rayne has provided our cover image to highlight the opening of his gallery for the Brighton Festival’s Fringe. Here’s Colin’s description of the piece which we have used for our cover : ‘COUP DE FOUDRE’ SCULPTURE (love at ﬁrst sight). There is a backdrop of the earth and lightening bolts. The earth is intended to show the couple’s distanced from its trials and tribulations. There is a two page article about Colin’s exhibition on pages 54/55. On page 43 we have our usual Neighbourhood Watch article, which this month tackles the issue of motorcycle theft in the area, recently it has reached epidemic proportions with at least 74 stolen at the time of writing this. If like us you had not experienced any trouble with theft or damage for well over a decade it is easy to get lulled into a false sense of security and not always remember to lock your bike up, don’t find out the hard way (as I did) just how easy it is to steal a machine that isn’t locked up.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 116

What is 5G? 5G is the acronym for Fifth Generation, the latest update to the mobile networks. Naturally it promises it will enable us better and faster connections, but what makes this update a little different is that it won’t be defined by a single form of technology and as it is so revolutionary, we don’t yet know the full extent of the services and applications that it may be able to deliver. 5G is expected to be able to reach speeds 100 times faster than standard 4G, and with a greater capacity networks will be able to cope better with many high-demand applications all at once. This means that you’ll still be able to get a connection at busy events such as New Year’s Eve, watching your football team at Wembley and your favourite band playing at the O2. Downloading films will take a matter of seconds, augmented reality will be accessible on our phones, and whilst we already have The Internet

of Things, the speed and capacity delivered by 5G has the potential to see almost every device become ‘smart’ and connected. Smart fridges, smarter cars, and even robots controlled via phones are all on the cards to become as common in our homes as TVs and radios have over the years. The downside to this is that we’ll all need to go out and buy new 5G ready phones, and they won’t be cheap. And it’s not just the hardware, the actual phones, that you’ll need to worry about. Having such a fast option will also mean you’ll be wanting to use, and therefore have to pay for, a lot more data. 5G has already begun rolling out in some countries and we’re expecting to see the first in the UK this year, with the bigger cities getting access first.

Clifden House News

Blue Plaque to Honour Local Ladies & Football Fever… Two local Seaford ladies, Laura Giles and Shirley Penry, have been honoured with a commemorative ‘blue plaque’.

Football Fever Following Clifden House’s team of residents taking part in ‘walking football’ at the Down’s Leisure Club, a further number of residents are off to The Albion. These football fanatics will watch the Seagulls take on Bournemouth this month. Deena, activities coordinator at Clifden House, said: “This ties in perfectly with our newly formed Walking Football team - who are becoming regular players at the local indoor football centre. Everyone at Clifden House is now in the football mood and we’re really looking forward to seeing the professionals in action at the Brighton & Hove Albion home ground. We’ve our fingers crossed for a home win!” It’s not all physical action at Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, two residents, Verna and Warwick, are planning on delivering a living history talk to local pupils in Seaford this month too. Clifden House is a family-run dementia care centre established on the Sussex coast in Seaford over 45 years ago. It has developed into a leader in specialist dementia care, providing a vibrant and active environment. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk T: 01323 896460

The plaque was erected to officially recognise the dedication and commitment of these two special laundry ladies at the opening of the newly modernized laundry at Clifden House Dementia Care Centre in Seaford. Nial Joyce of Clifden House, said: “Laura and Shirley are dedicated, hard working ladies. They have been with us for many years and we all want to show our great appreciation for their hard work that always takes place ‘behind the scenes’ of our busy community at Clifden House. We thought the best way to honour them into the future was a blue plaque, for the celebrities they are!” Laura joined Clifden House in 2009, Shirley has also been working at Clifden House for nine years. Both are from Seaford. Shirley and Laura said they are thrilled with the blue plaque and delighted with the new laundry facilities at Clifden House too.

Bridgeford’s Best Bites

Osteopathy for Driving Driving can place strain on our bodies over time. People who drive for a living need to be aware of the effects of their driving position on their body. This is perhaps even more relevant for people who commute in busy traffic to a job where they sit at a desk, hold awkward positions or do manual labour and then drive home at the end of the day. The effects can be felt not only in the back, neck and shoulders but also in the hips, knees and feet. It is easy to tense the neck and shoulders while concentrating on busy traffic, and even to grip the steering wheel in stressful situations. When we are stressed, we also tend to hold our breath, which in turn creates more tension in our bodies and decreases our resilience if this become habitual. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to tense your butt while driving in busy traffic? Getting a good position behind the wheel is an important and individual thing. We are all different shapes and sizes. If you are sitting in your car like you are sitting in a lounger you are probably not doing your body any favours. Not all cars suit all people, so it is important to take care to find a driving position that is both comfortable and conducive to good posture. Generally a good seated position is with a straight back, a ninety degree angle at the hips and at the knees, with the feet able to reach flat on the floor; shoulders above the hips, crown about the base. In a car, you also need to be able to reach the pedals and hold the steering wheel with ease and without strain. The steering wheel and surround, should not press on your knees or legs. Ideally it should be possible to change gears without reaching forward with your shoulder and thus pulling on your neck and back repeatedly. Everything in our lives can affect how we feel in ourselves and in our bodies. We are more likely to feel the impact of driving if we have slept awkwardly, fallen asleep on the couch with a bad neck position, over-exercised, repeatedly strained our bodies with work or hobbies, including holding the musical instruments we love. Add a dash of emotional stress, biochemical imbalance or dehydration to tip the balance and the body's long term coping mechanism can be lost and we start to feel pain or symptoms from tight muscles, misalignment, trapped nerves.

· Breath well to help keep you relaxed and alert; calm yourself before driving if feeling stressed or upset · Take regular breaks, to rest your eyes and mind, stretch your legs with a few minutes of brisk exercise Keeping Healthy - how Osteopathy can help: Osteopaths treat the whole person not just conditions, so a wide variety of different problems can be helped. Treatment is aimed at releasing stresses and strains that may have accumulated in the body over many years. Our body’s capacity to compensate for these issues is what keeps us going over the years. When there are too many issues for the body to compensate for, it starts to give signs of discomfort; chronic issue can seem to start for no particular reason and are often due to multiple factors over time, the latest one tipping the balance to cause discomfort and pain. Treatment and advice will be given to help improve mobility, circulation and immune function and reduce stiffness and pain in back, neck and joints. Posture in life and daily habits, including driving will be assessed and suggestions made to benefit your recovery; this may include stretching, rehabilitation exercises and dietary help. We are happy to advise you on your health matters.

Useful Driving Tips: · Ensure a good posture while driving, adjust your seat as necessary - before your start driving · Get a soft cover for your seatbelt if it irritates your collar bone or adjust the angle of it if possible · There are some posture aids to help you feel more comfortable in your car seat LOCAL BUSINESS

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve With the scrub bashing over for the spring it’s this time of year that we are at a bit of a loose end. That’s not to say that we sit on the new picnic benches twiddling our thumbs and gazing out onto the Nature Reserve but the jobs are all a bit fragmented as we’re banished into the woods by the ground nesting skylarks. Previous years have seen the lower woodland path leveled and edged, ivy ringed (rung?) in an attempt to stop it from dragging the trees down and steps at the north end of the woods created. Maintenance is now the name of the game with the steps leading up from the Recreation Ground on our list of jobs to do. We have planted another batch of saplings to fill in the edges of South Wood and still have another box full to get dug in. The Woodland Trust have been very generous with their donations this year and we are most grateful.

Rottingdean Village Fair on 3�� August. Come along to say hello and find out how you can join in the conservation conversation. 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.

After the spring grazing last year we were amazed to see how much the dreaded ragwort had gone into decline, the woolly nibblers certain did their job well. This year we are hoping that they can chomp their way through the hoary cress shoots. This newish invasive species can be seen on the windmill section and also along the allotment border. The tees on the old golf course were riddled with it last summer, with small plants already spotted this earlier this year. Once the sheep are gone we’ll take a look and assess the situation. Festival season will soon be upon us and we’ll be manning stands at the Ovingdean Village Fair on 22ⁿ� June and the Cowslips in bloom on the reserve.

Local Therapist

Frozen Shoulder Having a Frozen Shoulder can be extremely painful and debilitating. There are 24 muscles involved in the function of the shoulder, they can all be affected by Triggerpoints. Small knots are muscle fibres that have contracted and stay contracted, these are what we call triggerpoints, why they occur is a mystery, they are far more common than you would imagine, and cause no end of mischief, pain, stiffness and dysfunction. Pain from Triggerpoints can be mis-diagnosed resulting in unnecessary surgery. These Triggerpoints can linger for many years, sometimes a life time if they go undiscovered. Once you discover about trigger points you will quickly realise how easy they are to deal with. I believe you will never fear soft tissue pain again. 90% of all soft tissue pain is believed to be Myofasc ial, you can find a lot more information on Myofascia and Triggerpoints on my website. Frozen Shoulder can be horrendous and scary and go along way in ruining your everyday life. You can imagine the pain and the problem is deeper than it actually is. I am not underestimating the condition for one second. I have treated a great many frozen shoulders with huge success. I will explain every step of the way during treatment enabling you to understand what is happening . This information and knowledge will stand you in good stead for the time ahead as your treatment progresses, your pain dissipates and movement returns. Frozen shoulder can be bit stubborn compared to other trigger point areas. BUT IT DOES GO!!!!! And relatively quickly. Myofascial Release and trigger points therapy is a huge swathe of medicine that is largely ignored. I find it incredibly sad. And terribly frustrating when I see people in pain, knowing that they don’t have to be. Come and visit me in the beautiful space that is my cabin. See for yourself the results, the release, the lightness that you will feel after the first treatment. You will be given homework at certain stages. Before you choose to come, please phone me as I need to understand each individual person and what is happening. I am extremely passionate about this treatment , teaching you how to treat yourself. Fully understanding means you will always be in control, it is all ‘Empowering’. Once you have experienced the realisation, and the dissipation of pain you will feel passionate about it too! Everyone needs to know about this treatment . You do not need to suffer. Together we can bring you out of this mire of pain and discomfort.

I look forward to meeting you and treating you, with kindness, knowledge and experience. First treatment is half price 10% oﬀ subsequent treatments for frozen shoulder Penny koster www.trigger-points.me.uk 07951117826 Bannings Vale, Saltdean

Local history - Article 85

Seafront Parking Mike Laslett

One of the most common topics of conversation surrounding any event today is the parking problem. I thought you might enjoy some pictures from the RPS and Regency Society archives

The queues show people queuing for the number 2 bus back to Brighton after a Sunday afternoon outing to Rottingdean in 1935 when few people owned cars. Those who did own them were able to park along the A259 Coast Road as at Saltdean here in 1938.

Even after the war the amount of traffic and number of cars parked still allowed the use of the A259 Coast Road for parking, this time at Marine Gate for those visiting Black Rock for the afternoon!

See us online at www.deansmagazine.co.uk

41 Rottingdean crossroads used to be in a slightly different position but the amount of traffic justified a police constable on point duty. In 1942 war reserve Police Constable Harold Stone aged 40 had transferred from The Metropolitan Police. He lived with his wife and daughter in Stanmer Avenue, Saltdean. Sadly, in December 1942, when St Margaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flats were hit by a German bomb, PC Stone was struck and died from his injuries while on traffic duty at the crossroads, guiding people to safety. The Dornier 217 aircraft was shot down three miles off Brighton by a New Zealand pilot who gave chase after he spotted it a few miles south of Brighton.

We conclude with Sgt Willis recording one of the first road accidents in Rottingdean.

Neighbourhood Watch

Keeping Your Motorcycle Safe The report below regarding the number of vehicles stolen refers to the East Saltdean/Lewes area but the safety advice is relevant for the B&H Policing area as well.

lockable cover. Communal parking areas found within some apartment blocks can be easy to enter, so remember that if your bike can be seen it can be stolen.

Inspector Ed Ripley, Lewes Police, advises the following:

Invest in a quality heavy duty lock that you can use to secure your bike to a secure structure, for example a ground anchor. Disc brake locks provide extra protection and a combination of these locks applied to the rear wheel of your bike will make it difficult to steal.

Criminal activity in Saltdean and Rottingdean is extremely low, but in recent months I have seen a spike in thefts of mopeds and motorcycles in the coastal towns. Approximately 74 have been stolen in the past two months alone. Mopeds and high -powered motorcycles are of particular interest to thieves, but quad bikes and scooters are also at risk. A handful of the stolen bikes have been recovered after being found abandoned and in poor condition, but I believe that others are being conveyed out of the County, or broken down locally into parts and sold. Policing teams, deployed under Operation Ryder, have been patrolling hot-spot areas including housing estates where residents are vulnerable to bike thefts. Officers have told me that they are amazed at the number of motorcycles left out on display, insecure on driveways or on the road and in full view. They are targets for thieves! So, what can you do to prevent and deter your motorcycle from being stolen? Before spending any money on anti-theft equipment, I recommend that you contact your insurance provider who will be able to advise you of their minimum security requirements that should be stipulated within your insurance policy contract/summary booklet.

An audible alarm is also a good investment as it is likely to draw attention to a thief in circumstances where the alarm is activated when your bike is moved or tampered with. GPS trackers are available and may enable you to locate and track your bike in the event that it is stolen. You should aim to make it as difficult as possible for your bike to be stolen and anti-theft devices will do that. The longer it will take a thief to steal a bike, the less likely it is to be targeted as the risk of getting caught is too high. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful for the information provided by communities which has enabled my team to develop an intelligence picture around bike thefts in the area, leading to disruptions and arrests. I am keen to keep that flow of information coming into my office so please do not hesitate to contact me at Lewes@sussex.pnn.police.uk or, alternatively, report anonymously to Crimestoppers at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. For B&H Police contact Brightonandhove@sussex.pnn.police.uk Thank you.

As a minimum security precaution I would advise you to keep your bike out of sight, preferably in a secure garage, but in any case under a

Cinema Saltdean

First Man

(Cert 12)

Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy Where exactly were you on July 20�� 1969? Most of us can remember, because it was the day that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed Apollo 11 on the moon. Me? I was stuck at the traffic lights in Rottingdean. A myriad of space missions have taken place since then, often ignored by the public; space exploration having been moved off centre stage. Next month Richard Branson’s Virgin Orbit company plans to send its first rocket to the moon: the service is designed to eventually take space tourists. Branson’s voyage might occupy a few minutes on News at Ten. If we notice the item some of us might idly speculate what it might be like if we could afford to go: and then return to our smartphones. Paul Simon, in his song ’The Boy in The Bubble’ wrote “these are the days of miracle and wonder” and he was right. Back in the day, those first space missions were spellbinding and rightly occupied hours of primetime TV; but not in the 21�� Century. ‘First Man’ does the neat trick of regaining that lost excitement I saw an Apollo space capsule at the Science Museum in London. To an untrained eye it looked like something someone had knocked up in a garden shed. No shiny white surfaces, no chrome trims or big windows seen in science fiction films here. Add to this the low levels of computing power available and you might speculate that the Apollos were lucky to clear the launch pad. Apollo 11 would positively blush at the plethora of computing on an average mobile phone by comparison. Through these eyes, then, we view ‘First Man’, fuelled with questions about a safe return to earth; the voyaging into the unknown; and the effect that space travel might have on the human body. Overriding this is a pioneering spirit, a sense of exploration and excitement. ‘First Man’ marks the second collaboration between Director Damien Chazelles (‘Whiplash’, ‘10 Cloverfield Lane’) and Ryan Gosling; previously paired for ‘La La Land’. Gosling is Armstrong, a real-life hero in a riveting story. It’s as moving and intimate as it is epic and spectacular. Carey Stoll (‘Midnight in Paris’, ‘House of Cards’) has fun playing Buzz Aldrin, whom the film portrays as a pain in the neck but a natural at handling the press.

This is as much a film about family as it is about space. The preparation for the space mission is shot through with family tragedy, awkward relationships each taking a toll on the Armstrong family. Claire Foy (‘The Girl in the Spider’s Web’, ‘The Crown’) plays Janet Armstrong, who naturally fears for her husband’s safety. As the launch date nears, tensions are heightened by moments of domestic drama. The moon landing itself gives Armstrong the literally unearthly perspective required to process his personal issues, in a scene that crackles with eeriness: itself worth the ticket price. The film gives us a truly spectacular, first-hand account of a nerve-shredding mission that sets the heart racing. The space sequences are loud, unpredictable and totally visceral. The words “That’s one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind” will give your goose bumps plenty of exercise. The sound was recorded in the latest Dolby Atmos: very impressive and a seat-shaker! Things settle down a bit next month, as we finally tell the tale of Stan and Ollie, on Tuesday 25�� June. Apologies for the late arrival of this film, due to licensing issues. (Not leaves on the line). Anthony

Rottingdean Preservation Society

The Grange Gallery It’s spring time; so it must again be the time for Artists Open Houses; the Grange Gallery is proud to be once more participating in this very popular city-wide event. 30 April – 02 June: Edge; Brighton Festival Artists Open Houses. Ten artists explore various meanings of, and associations with, the word “edge”. Maggie Johnson. As a printmaker l enjoy using a variety of etching techniques to capture both detail and atmosphere; my work for this show explores the natural and man-made "Edges" that occur in sea scape environments. Emma O'Brennan-Pizer. I am attracted to the most weird and wonderful animals in nature - the ones that are little known or newly discovered fascinate me; the illustrations are originally drawn in pen before watercolours and inks are applied. I only use the brightest and most vibrant shades. Dr Martin Raskovsky. Interested in the post capture creative process - a search for colours and forms that emanate from my inside; the journey of image transformation is an art form of its own. Colours and shapes are transformed again and again until a solution emerges, sometimes with a tremendous eureka effect. John Naish. The sun has faded, the bird is tired. He's also resigned and fatalistic; if this is the end of everything then so be it; ot unhappy, he's seen it all and waiting to see what will be next. Tim Gwyther. Much of my work originates in Cornwall and 'The Edge' came about from standing on a cliff top at Lands' End - literally on the farthest edge of the country. I've tried to convey a sense of how it felt to be staring down from the top of a precipitous cliff. Julian Bond. My work for the exhibition will explore various meanings of, and associations with, the word ‘Edge’; the title of this piece is Edge of Sight, and it is about things glimpsed but not fully understood, out of the corner of one’s eye so to speak.

SAFE Update SAFE (St Aubyn’s Field Evergreen) is contesting the decision of B&HCC to grant planning permission to build on the playing field of St Aubyns School by the due process of judicial review. To this end we have appointed a solicitor and a barrister. We do, however fully support the sympathetic development of the brownfield site and the preservation of the historic characteristics. The first step has been taken and our application for judicial review has been sent to the Judge. B&HCC have until April 17th to lodge their case before the Judge who will then decide whether there are sufficient grounds for the case to go to the High Court. Obviously this exercise is expensive, around £35.000, but we believe there is the necessary commitment to raise the funds required. This is a community concern, calling for community to work together. We are therefore asking for a donation or a pledge towards the cost of legal fees to enable us to take this forward. There are various options :a) A donation can be as little as £1 b) A pledge could be £500/£1,000 (this could be a group of people, such as neighbours or family) c) Becoming a member of SAFE or renewing your annual membership The difference between a donation and a pledge is that when a pledge is made, if and when we win and recover partial costs, these cost recoveries will be refunded proportionately. Please download donation and pledge forms from our website: https://www.safe-rottingdean.org.uk/

Jan Mnich. Jan’s MA was in Printed Textiles; she worked as a textile designer, then illustrator now painter. Travelling and colour influence her pictures; these watercolours often combine landscapes and coastal views with architectural features and plants. She is fascinated by the effects of water in different light conditions. Botanical studies and natural images also feature strongly. Jackie Smith. For me Edge is the meeting place of the land and the sea.

Rottingdean Preservation Society

The Grange Art Gallery Inspired by Burne-Jones Exhibition 4 – 16 JUNE 2019 Among the artists, writers and glitterati attracted to Rottingdean at the end of the nineteenth century, was Edward Burne-Jones. He lived there from 1880 -1898 on the opposite side of the Green to The Grange; and the congregation of St. Margaret’s church will be familiar with his stunning stained glass windows. But from June 4 – 16 June, gorgeous glass will transform The Grange Art Gallery. Beside panels of coloured glass suspended in its’ tall Georgian windows, lightboxes will illuminate glass paintings plus artefacts ranging from large multi-layered glass chargers on plinths to traditional glass bowls with a contemporary twist. Or in the words of Elizabeth Lamont, co-ordinator of the exhibition, “In a unique celebration of glass in its many forms, the myriad pieces produced by more than 20 specialist glass practitioners will reveal in-depth explorations of a wide range of aspects of Burne-Jones’ work – from elements within his paintings to lyrical line-drawings, resulting in a fascinating and diverse collection of highly individual responses to the theme.” The Rottingdean Preservation Society is hosting a not-to-bemissed “Inspired By Burne-Jones Exhibition”, as part of a two year programme of events relating to this multi-faceted artist. Twenty five exhibitors have come from all over the UK to the Grange Art Gallery to interpret and pay homage to Burne-Jones’ legacy and work. They include members of the British Society of Master Stained Glass painters and the Worshipful Company of Glaziers

(who are also supporting the exhibition), and some of the best known names in stained glass in Britain today. A few steps across the corridor from the Art Gallery, in a newly revitalized Burne-Jones room, visitors will be able to peer into his world as a background to the exhibition. Designed to make the story of BurneJones and his multifaceted work more accessible to a contemporary audience, it will show his collaboration with William Morris, cover aspects of his work in Rottingdean and his wife, Georgiana’s, active role in his life and local life. Not to be missed.

We would welcome help at our Fayre and Gala in setting up, running a stall and taking down at the end of the day. If you would like to help in any way, please do get in touch – it would be much appreciated. The bulk of our service commitments from last year were funded by the Fayre and Gala, and for these to continue we need much more physical help. Therefore, please do get in touch with us – many thanks. The traditional Lions Fayre has been running in Rottingdean for well over forty years, and as a regular event has grown significantly in stature with it becoming one of the highlights of the summer season in Rottingdean. It is held on The Green and, as has always been the case, entry is free. Walking round the Fayre you will come across a book stall, and a coconut shy, for example. You will also find many other games and stalls along with a bar and the world famous - in Rottingdean at least - Lions barbeque. The barbeque uses locally sourced meat from our local butchers – the big sausages and meaty beef burgers with onions to our secret recipe will delight your taste buds – reason enough to be world famous. Please do not miss this barbeque if this is to your taste. There will be vegetarian options. Tombola tickets will be available for purchase during the day for instant prizes.

Local Therapist & Adoption Appeal

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

Soi Dogs Adoption Appeal I have recently returned home to Saltdean from volunteering at the SOI Dog foundation in Thailand and one of the dogs that was placed in my care was the very handsome Ma Luang who has been at resident of the shelter for most of his life. He’s now seven years old and he isn’t finding life too easy. The SOI Dog Foundation is truly an amazing organisation and the care for rescued street dogs and cats is second to none but getting as many dogs and cats a permanent home as possible is one of their main priorities . I’m sure that Ma Luang would thrive if he was to be adopted here in the UK – he has so much to offer. He loves people and would be a fabulous companion, he has a gentle personality and loves nothing more than a walk, belly rub and the occasional sweet treat. If you are interested in finding out more about this lovely boy then please either contact myself at dpaitchison@outlook.com or 07542 180302. You can also contact SOI dog foundation directly https://www.soidog.org/adopt/ma-luang-21. All costs to the UK are covered, he is fully vaccinated and in very good health. Please remember that I would be delighted to answer any questions. David. Ma Luang has been at the shelter for just over 2300 days! He is desperately looking for a home and family of his own! Can you be the one to give him the life he dreams of outside the shelter? Please don’t let him live his life without experiencing the love and care of a family.

Local Event

Cellophane Flowers The Beatles Revisited Singer/guitarist Alex Eberhard leads the All Things Must Pass Orchestra, an established 10-piece band dedicated to the works of George Harrison. Now Alex joins forces with two talented singers, Lucy Pickering and Rachel Myer, to explore the timeless Lennon/McCartney catalogue alongside some of Harrison’s compositions stripped down and unplugged. The musicians share a genuine passion for the music of the Liverpool quartet, and interpret the Beatles’ work in a new and refreshing way focusing on the lush vocal harmonies accompanied by a single guitar. When the trio begins to sing the first lines of ‘Nowhere Man’, the emotional impact of hearing the words of World’s finest pop band is immediate. “Masterful musicianship and stunning singing” – John Bowman, 2018.

at last year’s Brighton Fringe Festival and Festival Of Chichester - 2 sell out shows that were rapturously received. They are now putting their show on the road, and embarking on a mini tour of Sussex. On Friday, 24th May 2019 Cellophane Flowers will be performing at Rottingdean Village Hall. The show starts at 8pm/ doors open at 7.30pm and tickets will be available on the door or online at cellophaneflowers.co.uk Not just for Beatles fans, but anyone who appreciates good music. A splendid time is guaranteed for all…

Expect to hear early Beatles songs such as ‘From Me To You’ and ‘I Feel Fine’, all the way through to later classics from Abbey Road such as ‘Because’, ‘Something’ & ‘Here Comes The Sun,’ as well as many gems in between. The songs aren’t performed in chronological order, so it might well be that at one moment you find yourself humming along to Michelle and in the next you will be taken Across The Universe. Named ‘Cellophane Flowers’, after a line in the song ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’, they made their debut
