Art in the Deans

Summertime at the Grange Art Gallery After the undoubted success of an eclectic Artists’ Open House exhibition in May, The Grange continues with more diverse exhibitions in June and July and August. A visit could be combined with a cream tea in the sun in the beautiful walled garden in the Grange 16�� June - 5�� July: “Ways of Seeing” shows paintings, limited editions and works in glass. Nichola Campbell’s collage developed from painting, working experimentally with ink. Barbara Todd’s three- dimensional work is inspired by home, garden, nature. Elizabeth Lamont’s love of lyrical line with translucent colour led her to the medium of stained glass, using traditional methods to create image within the glass. Chris McEwan’s idiosyncratic interpretations are inspired by landscape and gardens, and local history inspired Carol Lawson’s paintings and pastels , associated with grand houses, gardens and the beauty of the South Downs. 7�� July – 19�� July: Betty Dunismoir paints in oils and water colours and her delicate flower paintings and cards bring out the paperlike quality of a simple, single flower; a stem pansy, a daffodil. Often her work has an association with family and friends. 21�� July – 2ⁿ� August: “Frockart At The Grange” is the work of six artists who met while studying art in Sussex and have been exhibiting together for many years. Their exhibition will focus on new paintings, prints, collage, textiles and cards.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades Computer Tips & Advice 82

Windows 10 What you need to know As the initial glitches have been ironed out, we are now recommending that our clients upgrade to Windows 10. It remains free to upgrade to – for now. From the end of July 2016 the free option will expire and you will need to pay for the upgrade. Whilst the price hasn’t been definitely set, we are of the belief that you are looking at a cost of roughly £150. In addition, we are not sure whether upgrades after this date will be an automated procedure or will require you installing manually. Why You Should Upgrade To Windows 10 ● It is the latest and most secure OS (Operating System) ● It is the OS getting the most development ● 3rd party software is being written first for Windows 10 ● For fans of Windows 7 it looks more like what you are used to ● Business applications have now caught up ● We have been using it for 10 months ourselves with no issues ● Support for Windows 7 will end at some point

A Word Of Warning! There are still post Windows 7 configurations that will need doing, and some Windows 10 installs haven’t completed correctly, both of which can cause you some issues. That being said, 95% of upgrades have been successful. We recommend that you upgrade your systems at a noncritical time; i.e. if you’re not going to need to use your computer the next day. Alternatively, we can professionally upgrade your systems for you. For businesses we strongly advise that you employ a controlled roll out; again we can manage this process for you thereby minimising any downtime for your company. Either way, we are here to support and advise you on your Windows 10 upgrade. For further advice and support call us on 01273 248871

Osteopathy tips

Bridgeford’s Best Bites:

Back Pain A common problem that affects most people at some time, mostly in the lower back (lumbago), though can be felt anywhere in the spine. May be triggered by strained muscles, tendons or ligaments, wear and tear, bad posture, poor bending and lifting technique as well as stress. It is the leading cause of long-term sickness in UK causing more the 15 million lost work days in 2013. Although painful, it is not serious in most cases. Symptoms: Pain, dull or sharp ache, tenderness, stiffness, weakness, numbness or tingling (can travel down the leg in sciatica and disc problems). Joint pain when walking or stiffness first thing in the morning lasting more than half an hour may be a sign of arthritis. Indication that serious problems may exist are swelling, constant pain not eased by laying down, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in genitals, buttock or back passage, sudden weight loss, pain in the chest, high fever or after an accident. Causes: More serious causes are disc problems, sciatica, whiplash, frozen shoulder, ankylosing spondylitis; rare causes fracture and cancer. Most cases related to minor sprains, strains, injuries or trapped, irritated nerves. Common causes developing over time are bad posture at work, driving, on the couch, bending, lifting or twisting awkwardly, overstretching and overuse, sleeping on a poor mattress. Risk factors are stress, smoking, pregnancy, overweight, long term corticosteroids. Diagnosis: Your doctor will ask you to describe the pain and where you feel it, when it started, what makes it better or worse and if it has happened in the past; also about lifestyle and work. Examination will assess range of movement in your back, ability to lift your legs, sit, stand and walk, testing knee-jerk and ankle reflexes. You may be referred for X-ray or MRI scan. Treatment: In short term back pain keep as active as possible, use hot and cold compression packs and over the counter painkillers. Immobility can weaken the back muscles and may hurt more in the long run. Staying relaxed and positive is important for recovery. Treatment for back pain lasting more than 6 weeks involves painkillers, exercise and manual therapy or acupuncture. In longer term back pain counselling, antidepressants or a pain clinic. Spinal surgery is only recommended when all else has failed or the pain is so severe that you cannot sleep or carry out daily activities. Prevention: Maintain good posture at work, home and play. Learn to lift, bend and twist safely. Exercise regularly without strain. Improve flexibility and strength, particularly in core muscles. Wear suitable shoes. Learn relaxation techniques if you are stressed. Maintain a healthy weight. Osteopathic/Manual Management: Take a detailed case history to understand the nature of the problem and surrounding issues. Examine spine and all surrounding tissues; muscles, ligaments, nerves, fascia, etc., for movement, strength and functionality and assess nerve pathways. Perform orthopaedic and neurological tests and determine the root cause. Treat to improve strength, functionality and movement and reduce tension, inflammation, pain and swelling. Postural and ergonomic advice regarding lifting, carrying, bending, twisting, sleeping, footwear, sitting at desk, car, couch, as well as rehabilitation exercises. Treatment may include manipulation, deep soft tissue massage, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques, fascial techniques, dry needling, etc. We are happy to advise you on your health matters and offer a free 15 minute joint and spinal check, without obligation.

Local History - Part 50

Rottingdean Fair

On the first Saturday in August you can enjoy the Rottingdean Village Fair. Unlike some towns and villages, Rottingdean has no ancient market or fair. However, there have been many festivities over the centuries including for Coronations and Royal Jubilees. The first Village Fair in the format that we recognise today was held at The Elms in 1926. Raising almost £400 for Church and School funds, it was opened by Mrs Stanley Baldwin. As Lucy Ridsdale, she grew up at The Dene, marrying Stanley Baldwin (Kipling’s cousin) at Rottingdean Parish Church on 12 September 1892. It is interesting to note it was held on a Thursday when only the wealthy were free to contribute.

It has been held annually since then with the exception of the war years. It always commences with a costumed cavalcade which was started by the late Mrs Winifred Hoyle and continues with fund raising stalls in the time honoured fashion, although climbing the Greasy Pole for a leg of mutton seems to have fallen out of favour!

1993 Cavalcade

Dancers from the 1933 fair

The proceeds from the 1933 Fair paid for moving the church clock from the church tower to the church entrance, where it would be easier to maintain. Contrast the dancers with their 1996 counterparts!

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) and 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.” For news of this year’s fair, see the article on page 37

Rottingdean Fair

Rottingdean Village Fair This year’s fair will be on the Village Green and in Kipling Gardens on Saturday 6th August between 10am – 4pm.

The theme for the fair is ‘Typically Tropical’ so please do dress up in your brightly coloured shirts, skirts, trousers, straw hats and imagine yourself ‘Rio bound.’ There will be entertainment throughout the day on The Green and in the Gardens including The Salvation Army Band, dancing, folk/pop/rock groups and a children’s entertainer. 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 and traditional fair rides. A large car park will be available on the left just past the fair driving north. All profits made on the day are shared between a range of local charities and village organisations, 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 wonderfully English event in glorious surroundings. Graham Sheppard, Fair Organiser

Local History Feature

Brighton lifeboats A short monthly series on their history Part Four 1860 - 1890 and the creation of national fundraising. The new RNLI lifeboat station and their un-named boat which had been inaugurated in 1858 was launched on several occasions on minor services and in 1867 the RNLI replaced the boat with a new vessel. This new boat and it's launching carriage was exhibited in the Agricultural Hall, Islington before being transported to Brighton. It had been paid for entirely by Sunday Schools in the London area and named "Robert Raikes" after their founder and some 24,000 children were present in Islington to see "their" lifeboat officially presented to the RNLI. Naming lifeboats, often with the name of the donor, is a feature which has been carried on ever since. Records only show this vessel being launched on service on one occasion before it was replaced in 1874 by the "Robert Raikes II" funded again by the Sunday Schools organisation. Her first service was in November the following year to the barque "Broughton" from Liverpool. In a fierce WSW gale most of her sails had been blown out, her Mizzen mast had gone and her cargo had shifted giving her a serious list. While still a considerable distance offshore she would be lost if driven ashore. The lifeboat made repeated attempts to reach the vessel but each time was driven back because of the conditions eventually being forced to shelter in Newhaven harbour. The Newhaven lifeboat "Elizabeth Boys" was then launched, being towed out to the casualty by a steam tug. Fortunately the conditions had calmed slightly and the crew were able to get aboard the casualty and the tug towed her back to Newhaven. The Brighton Coxswain Thomas Atherill was awarded the Thanks on Vellum for his part in the long and arduous service. In January 1877 another barque, the "Ida" of Glasgow was driven ashore opposite the Grand Hotel in a south east gale. The Robert Raikes and the Town lifeboats were both launched and between them saved eleven of the crew, three having managed to get ashore through the surf. In 1879 a new Town lifeboat entered service. Named the "John Whittingham" it was provided from a legacy from the late Mrs Jane Whittingham. The Robert Raikes carried out several successful services during the next six years but storms during 1885 scoured away a large part of the beach and in 1886 new groynes were built to stop this erosion. However this made launching the lifeboat very difficult and new arches were leased further west along the seafront. These were in use until the station closed in 1931 and are currently in use by the Brighton Sailing Club. On 9th December 1886 came the "Mexico" disaster which was the largest loss of life for RNLI crews that had happened. Charles Macara, an energetic and forward thinking Cotton magnate from Manchester had a house in St Anne's on sea and was Chairman of the St Anne's lifeboat station. in early December he watched the lifeboat rescue five fisherman whose vessel had been driven on to a local sand-bar. That evening he was at a fundraising concert and the coxswain and the five fisherman turned up. The effect was dramatic and Macara realised this. He had the first telephones installed in the town and took the coxswain back to his house and had them relay their story direct to the Manchester press -

definitely a first in reporting! Five days later all the crew were dead. The "Mexico" was a barque from Hamburg and was leaving Liverpool when caught in a storm of incredible ferocity. Three lifeboats - Southport, Lytham and St Anne's - launched to her assistance. The Southport boat was pulled by horses and volunteers for three and a half miles before launching and was first to reach the casualty, capsizing alongside with 13 of her crew of 15 drowning. The St Anne's boat using sail and oars to reach the casualty was found ashore the following morning all crew having been lost, three still jammed in the vessel. The Lytham boat. through terrible conditions, made it to the barque and back rescuing twelve but at a total cost to the RNLI of twenty seven crew. This disaster hit the public's heart's. An anonymous donor paid for a new Southport boat, a Rochdale resident paid for a new St Anne's boat and contributions came from far and wide including Queen Victoria and the German Emperor. Having done some research Macara found that the RNLI was in fact being funded by possibly as few as a hundred well meaning, well off land owners, merchants,etc. and was convinced that the public - having seen their responses should be more involved. Together with the mayors of Manchester and Salford a "Saturday Parade" through the streets of Manchester with bands, two lifeboats, rocket firing demonstrations and much more was organised. This was a huge success and quickly copied by towns and cities across the country. It became the basis of the RNLI "Flag days" which are still very popular today. Mrs Macara, an equally determined lady, formed the first "Ladies Auxiliary Committee" in Manchester. It also caught on across the country and was the basis of the many Ladies Fundraising Guilds formed in later years. If your town, village, school. club,etc. are having an event in which you would like the RNLI fundraising to be a part, or to have talks or station visits Please give Margaret Kimber a ring on 07786 446901 Compiled by Alan Young. 07950 224122.

Neighbourhood Watch

Junior Neighbourhood Watch Course One of the sessions at our recent successful Junior Neighbourhood Watch Course at St. Margaret's C of E School was a very interesting visit from Roedean Fire Officers. Some of the information passed to the children was also a learning curve for the volunteers as well! The Fire Officers warned us that the following are potential fire risks: ● Never charge your mobile overnight or while you are not on the premises ● Do not leave TV's etc on 'stand by'. ● To be completely safe do not use washing machines, dishwashers etc overnight or whilst you are not in the house. ● Check the smoke alarms every week. No point in having them if the battery has gone or been taken out!! They can save lives. ● Fire Service will give advice about alarms if required. Many of you are probably thinking "Oh dear, I do that all the time". We always think catastrophes never happen to us always someone else!! A little positive thought could save a life. It is our responsibility to keep ourselves, our property and community safe so give some thought of ways you can make sure this happens. Perhaps you could take your neighbour's

wheelie bin off the pavement after it has been emptied empty bins are a good advertisement that the resident is not in! Check your mail has been posted completely through the letterbox and have a word with the postman if it hasn't been. If you know your neighbours are at work check their post too. With summer here we are often tempted to leave windows open - but remember if you are in the garden enjoying a BBQ check there are no ground floor windows open that opportunist criminals could use to get in and out of your house quickly! Never leave your house looking unoccupied when going on holiday - remember to use timer switches, leave a key with a neighbour who can check the post and possibly pull curtains for you. NEVER put your home address visible on luggage tags or advertise you are away on Face book. You never know who is observing!!!!!!!

Myofascial Release Penny Koster, Holistic Pain Therapist 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 both. Myofascial release is being called the missing link and I qualifications and training, but the therapy I am most passionate about passionately believe this to be true, I believe in the not too distant and know first‐hand works completely is myofascial release, Myo‐fascial future everyone will be having these treatments, The cause of is the connective tissue which joins everything together, covers discomfort, pain is the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer that everything, fills all the gaps holds you together, it has the memory of has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated, no longer moving your life, it relays messages to your brain faster than the nervous position! An Analogy if you step on a hosepipe the flow is impaired. I System, every single thing that happens to you in your life whether it be am highly trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body read to good or bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial system, The know where the problem is and then to un-stick it.. The whole world fascia is like a giant web made up of collagen, elastin and ground needs to know about this treatment! I feel very passionately that substance it covers you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your skin, everyone should understand how it works, and as much as possible be it moves constantly within your body, it penetrates, covers, protects able to do it to themselves and each other. There is no such thing as 'I every organ, muscle, ligament, tendon, bones everything- we are fascia, have that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs to have pain! scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone hard and dehydrated, that is Exceptions being if you break a leg or have an accident et cetera, I give why generally women get more lower back problems then men because these treatments which are extremely powerful but at the Same time they have hysterectomies, C-sections and end up with fascia that is very gentle, I also educate people so that they can self-care in the damaged, dehydrated and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and future and when they have a pain they understand why it's happening, consequently pulls on areas like the lower back, fascia can become and what they can do about it, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN hardened dehydrated and stop moving and therefore cause problems, PAIN. Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer than others, IT IS discomfort, pain, disease for many many different reasons I generally WORTH THE WAIT! call it life. Another example because we are one complete unit If you're interested in having a treatment and want to learn more about everything is connected you could have a pain in your shoulder and the myofascial release and myself please go to: www.trigger-points.me.uk pain could possibly originate in your lower back, or maybe your neck or or phone me on 07951 117826

Local Garden News

Gardens Open for Charity JULY 9��/10�� MACMILLAN TRAIL 11 – 5 pm each day JULY 16��/17�� NATIONAL GARDEN SCHEME 2-5pm each day - 28 Grand Crescent, Rottingdean, BN2 7GL 11-5pm each day -144 Rodmell Ave, Saltdean, BN2 8PJ Garden owners Ray & Sue Warner and Angie Hart & Scott Dennis are looking forward to welcoming visitors to their Open Gardens on the above dates. There is no wheelchair access at either garden. However, most of Angie and Scott’s garden is on the flat. If you don’t have problems going up steps you could manage it, but beware lots of gravel and pebbles to navigate. Ray and Sue Warner have created a very atmospheric jungle garden with meandering paths through lush insect friendly planting, including Bananas, Bamboos and a rare Wollemi Pine, combined with jungle sound effects, quirky jungle room, and garden murals – (beware Tyson, the tiger!) Sue’s handmade jewellery and crafts will be on sale together with tea and home-made cakes. Come along and mingle with other Dean folk in our quirky, open plan coastal garden with lovely sea views, but fierce salt winds to combat. Quite a contrast to Sue and Ray’s jungle. The Grand Cres-

cent garden is filled with brightly coloured mixed borders flowering right through until late summer. Marvel at the fabulous swing seat and hot composter (look, Angie and Scott don't get out much, ok). Cakes and refreshments will be available to buy if you haven’t already scoffed enough of Sue’s delights. The Macmillan garden trail is a local event and consists of 29 Gardens opening between Hove and East Dean. All proceeds from entrance and refreshments will be donated to the Macmillan Horizon Centre. The cost is £7.00 for a day pass or £2.00 for entry to individual gardens – full details can be found on their website: www.macmillangardentrail.co.uk The National Garden Scheme is the most significant charitable funder of nursing in the Uk, and last year raising over £2.6 million. The Ouse Valley to the Coast Trail trail consists of 3 gardens, the 3�� being Cattlegate in Swanborough. Combined admission for the group opening £5, children free. Full details can be found on the www.ngs.org.uk website.

Ovingdean Gardening Club Ovingdean Gardening Club has been flourishing in the village for over 30 years. We now have over 80 members from all over the Deans catchment area. We are affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society which means, among other things, a free visit to Wisley every year. We meet on the first Thursday evening of every month and there are a variety of activities arranged including speakers on a wide range of topics, a plant auction, quiz night, Christmas meal and a bring a plate supper. The highlight of the year is the Annual Village Show. This it is being held on Saturday 6�� August. The Village hall is transformed by the huge variety of flowers, fruit and vegetables, hanging baskets, patio plants, flower arrangements, cookery and photography. Members of the public are very welcome from 2pm and it is free. There will be tea, coffee and home made cakes to enjoy, hopefully on the sun drenched patio. Members of the gardening club are encouraged to enter as many of the categories as they wish. It is a really fun event, competitive but friendly. The club also runs outings throughout the year. We have already been to Highdown Herbs and Rampster, and we are going to Groombridge in August.

If you are interested in joining or would like some more information, please visit our website at www.ovingdeangardening.webs.com or telephone Richard or Angie on 303183. We look forward to hearing from you or seeing you at the show.

New Local Club

Debut of Saltdean Dining Club Saltdean boasts a wide array of eateries; in Longridge Avenue alone there are at least seven, most of which open late. “We meet for food, drink and fun; in other words, a good time!” says Saltdean Dining Club's coordinator Jack Berwitz. “Friends and guests join us from as far as Eastbourne, and numbers have grown since our first outing in April. There's always room for plenty more people, although we envisage 20 as a comfortable maximum. Best to book in advance, but we happily and warmly welcome drop-ins. We're spoilt for choice in Saltdean, everything from the Tavern Carvery's wide selection, to the cosmopolitan ambience of Andy's Deli. It might be a slight exaggeration to call Saltdean gourmet heaven but it's not that far off”. The not-for-profit Club meets on the last Wednesday evening of each month in a different venue across the village, including Andy's Deli, Saltdean Tavern, Spanish Lady, Very Italian Pizza, Whitecliffs, and now David's new Italian Crocodile Cafe Bakery. To book, please email LearnTheSecret@outlook.com or text 07530 051 576. 2016 dates: 27 July. 31 August. 28 Sept. 26 Oct. 30 Nov. 28 Dec. Our next venue will be The Spanish Lady on 27�� July

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

Lions News Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions support Woodingdean Primary School on World Book Day… In commemoration of World Book Day, Woodingdean Primary School launched their new Literature Spine by giving all their pupils in Reception Class their very own library of 7 books from the spine. This important initiative ensures that all children in Reception have some high quality texts to share at home to start them on their reading journey and to inspire a life-long love of books and reading at the start of their school life. Lion Andy Wavell, President Elect of Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions, attended the event at Woodingdean Primary School to celebrate World Book Day. Kathryn Coleman, the Every Child a Reader teacher, had briefed the Lions on the school’s commitment to ensuring that all children starting school had high quality books to read at home and a strong message of the importance and joy of reading with an adult. She stated she was seeking funds to ensure the 60 Reception children had a set of books each. Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions helped by funding one book in the set for all the children. Lion Andy Wavell was able to be at the launch and see the delight on the children’s faces as they opened their packs of books. Addressing the parents and children, Lion Andy said he hoped the Lions would be able to support them in the future, in this valuable scheme for children’s education. Saltdean Gala – Saltdean Oval 16�� July This traditional gala has been running for well over twenty years, and as a regular event has become increasingly popular over the years with it now being one of the highlights of the summer season in Saltdean. It is held in the Saltdean Oval and runs from 11 am through to 4:00 pm.

The Saltdean Gala Dog Show begins with registrations starting from around 12 noon with competitions beginning from 1pm onwards. There will be a registration fee for each dog in each class. In the past this has been around 75p per dog per class. There will be prizes in all defined classes that in the past have included: most handsome dog, prettiest bitch, dog most like owner, cutest puppy, wiggliest tail, best tricks, golden oldie, fanciest dress, scruffiest hound and best rescue.

Film Review from Cinema Saltdean

Bridge of Spies

(cert 12A)

Spies - but not a 00 prefix in sight! Cold war films are old-hat and anything attempting to recreate the Harry Palmer films, ‘Funeral in Berlin’ and ‘The Ipcress File’, should stop before they start: a widely-held belief for ardent fans of the Caine / Deighton combo of the 1960s: and, I for one, can see how those films are classics of their day. Times change; such tales of dark dealings in dingy apartments, bare light bulbs hanging from dirty ceilings, gave way to the shiny spy-universe of James Bond’s ‘Spectre’ and ‘Skyfall’ – each good in their own right. Real-life spies of that era were probably closer to Palmer than to Bond; and well-acquainted with dingy rooms, dark dealings, and living dangerous lives. Before you give up on the cold war genre altogether, consider ‘Bridge of Spies’, (Steven Spielberg). The film, closely based on a true story, has a genuine ring of authenticity to it. Set in Brooklyn during the Cold War, the 1950s atmosphere and style are captured well and the set pieces are well worthy of the director. Tom Hanks (‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Captain Philips’) plays James Donovan. Donovan worked in the grey world of corporate insurance and is recruited to defend an arrested Soviet spy, Rudolf Abel, in court; and then help the CIA facilitate an exchange of the spy for the Soviet captured American U2 spy plane pilot, Francis Gary Powers. The ‘establishment’ puts pressure on Donovan to put up only a weak defence for the spy, briefing him to demonstrate that Abel had “reasonable representation”. Donovan is coached by a judge to lose the case; presumably so that they can get right on with hanging the Commie. The whole deal is a big ask for the morally upright insurance investigator. The film isn’t, though, all dank rooms and unpleasant characters; it’s about the determination of one man to fight for justice for all, whilst starting out on the ‘back foot’. Mark Rylance (‘Wolf Hall’, ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’) plays Rudolf Abel; Rylance won Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and his performance is nothing short of superb: alone well worth the ticket price. He effortlessly steals key scenes from the superstar Hanks. It is however hard to imagine anyone looking less like a spy than Rylance especially, in one scene, when his character emerges from a bathroom, disarmingly dressed in vest and pants - just as the CIA are trying to arrest him. No sense of occasion, yer Russian spies! Spielberg proves that he still has a deft touch for action sequences: one in particular involves a secret plane, a

pilot and a rather tricky situation: nail-biting stuff, straight out of the Indiana Jones films. As a footnote, after the Abel case, Donovan was engaged to negotiate with Fidel Castro, after the disastrous Bay of Pigs affair, in which 10,000 domiciled US citizens were either arrested or stranded in Cuba, with Donovan as their only hope. Donovan negotiated with Castro and as a result 1,113 prisoners were released on Christmas Eve, 1962. The release of over 9,000 people in total is attributed to Donovan, who was personally thanked by John F Kennedy. Buckets and spades out! Cinema Saltdean is on holiday in August. Our new season opens on Tuesday 27th September with ‘Joy’. Fun, business and QVC in a compelling drama of one woman’s fight for business success. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT THIS SEASON HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!
