Welcome

Welcome to the July Edition Occasionally I’m reminded that we do have people new to the Deans, so in case you are one of them welcome to the area, The Deans Magazine is published monthly and delivered door to door locally. Like the rest of the country the Deans area is constantly changing, some times for the better as in the case of the Lido, so it is always with great interest that I read our local history articles which Mike Laslett very kindly writes each month, if history is of interest to you then don’t miss this month’s edition on pages 40/41. Our historical theme continues this month with the Cinema Saltdean film - Goodbye Christopher Robin and the Rottingdean Village Fair (page 67) which this year celebrates the 100�� anniversary of the end of World War One.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 106

Encryption Computer encryption changes information into code making it unintelligible to anyone who reads it unless you possess the “key” to open it. What Should I Encrypt? Emails: Encrypting your emails means that only the right people will be able to see them. By encrypting your email, you will also prevent any hackers from accessing all the information you have in your email systems, such as attachments, content, and even hijack your entire email account. For businesses this should come as a standard part of their overall IT security. Files: If you use cloud software to store your files then these should be encrypted. Unfortunately, not all cloud storage services are secure, so you can always check with your IT company whether what you are using to store and/or share files with is secure. Laptops: Having full encryption on your laptop means that you, and only you can gain access to your data – this is all your files and your emails. It means that should your laptop be lost, stolen, or accidently left on the back seat of a taxi, nobody will be able to access the

information stored on it. We have this on all our work laptops and recommend it to all our business clients. Anything Else? How about your phone – do you have emails, contacts, messages on it? Is it connected to your computer in any way? Do you use it for work? As GDPR was brought in in May so we suspect we’ll soon be seeing more prosecutions of companies for data breaches. And this will apply to ALL business, no matter what their size. Of course, there is no 100% foolproof way of guaranteeing total security but if you have demonstrated that you have done all that you can to keep the data that you have secure then you are unlikely to be penalised severely.

Clifden House News

Art Exhibition a Great Success Residents at Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford collaborated with St Peter’s Church to display a week-long art exhibition in support of Dementia Awareness Week. This is a particularly important issue in Seaford as the area has been identified as a dementia hotspot in the UK. According to latest research by Alzhemiers Research UK, 2.11% of the population of Lewes/Seaford or 1,926 people are living with dementia. The Wealden district has 1,866 people living with dementia, equivalent to 1.75% of population. Eastbourne has 2,292 people living with dementia, which is 2.09% of the population. In total, 2.7% of the population of the South East are living with the disease – that’s more than double the UK average (1.33%).

people whose relatives had previously been a resident at Clifden House, as well as the general public.” “Our artists had a unique sense of achievement, particularly when they saw people admiring their work.” Nial Joyce of Clifden House said: “Art is an extremely important activity for dementia patients, because it bypasses language barriers and allows residents to express themselves through this medium. “Thank you to St Peter’s Church for working with us to host the exhibition. It’s great to collaborate and have support from our local community.” The art exhibition is now on display at Clifden House Dementia Care Centre on Claremont Road.

Deena McCormack, Activities Co-ordinator at Clifden House said: “Raising awareness was our main goal, and this was definitely achieved with many members of the local community coming to see the impressive art our residents had worked so hard on.

Established 50 years ago, Clifden House Dementia Care Centre in Seaford specialises in providing residential and respite dementia care. It enables the individual to lead an active lifestyle with privacy, dignity and security.

“The exhibition allowed us to reconnect with

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

Animal and Chair Yoga Fundraiser for saltdean Lido In response to the plea for fundraising for the Lido buildings and because I teach Yoga there, I wanted to offer something to appeal to all ages to help raise money for this cause. We had great fun and raised money with the help and support of local people and businesses; thanks to Saltdean Zone for helping with promotion, Saltdean Tavern for the 10% off offer for attendees, the Lido members and the all lovely local people who volunteered and attended. Animal Yoga Many yoga poses use English names based on the animals they represent. The poses can be adapted to suit children of all ages. The kids can join in to do the poses and make the animal noises related to the poses, run around doing their own thing, or just watch the from the sidelines. This is a fun way to engage children into yoga in a fun and freely expressive way. The more boisterous kids can let off steam by doing more vigorous poses to start with before calming them down towards the end before sending them home. Below you can see us doing the frog pose accompanied by a cacophony of "rivet rivet", the crab pose, lion's breath with a load "roar" and calming down with starfish. Other poses we did included butterfly, camel, cat, cow, crane, crocodile, dog, eagle, locust, snake, swan and handstand just for fun. "Lin's Animal Yoga was fantastic! My two boys loved posing and jumping as different animals, Great fun. They are keen to do it again!" "Animal yoga for children was great! It was fun and engaging. My daughter really enjoyed it! She has been practicing animal poses ever since. Lin is very good with children and it's a great way to get them into yoga" Chair Yoga This is an adaptation of yoga poses that can be done simply in a chair to help improve flexibility. This is useful for people who spend long hours sitting, such as at a desk or in planes, train and automobiles and for texter's neck. It is also for people who are injured or less able to move around as they can benefit from the increased flexibility and breathing without stressing their bodies. "Great for people who are new to yoga, have limited flexibility or maybe problems with knees and joints. Feels like a proper yoga experience and is immensely enjoyable". "I have enjoyed chair yoga very much. I have always wanted to try it but the lack of flexibility was holding me back. During Lin's chair yoga class I have learned breathing techniques and a few easy but beneficial poses to carry on practicing yoga in my own time" "As a mature woman with an aversion to organised exercise I approached a session of Chair Yoga with Lin unenthusiastically. It turned out to be perfect for me, a combination of stretching and getting postures right with explanations from Lin on what muscles were being affected for better and worse. Together with gentle breathing and soft music, excellent."

I have been asked to run these classes more often and am happy to do so if there is interest, please let me know. Bios Yoga at Saltdean Lido: Wednesdays 12-12:30 Breathing (Pranayama) for Health 12:30-2pm Yoga for Health, Thursdays 7-8pm Yoga for Health We are happy to advise you on your health matters and offer a free 15 minute joint and spinal check, without obligation.

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve The Nature Reserve is looking glorious at the moment. My favourite walk is along the main bridle path entering at the Longhill Road, Ovingdean entrance. At the crossroads by the David Christie bench take a right and walk along the diagonal path towards St Dunstans. Left across the extension and with a light breeze blowing through the various strains of grass it is an impressive sight. Travel on a Thurs, Fri or Sat and this glorious place becomes heaven on earth when accompanied by a cuppa and slice of cake at the Beacon Hub Café Kiosk. Sit back and relax, listening to the birds singing, soaking up the sunshine and feeling suitably refreshed. We have once again moved into the woods on our work days to repair the well worn lower pathway and renovate the steps that run up from the Court Ord Road entrance. This is no mean feat, requiring various woodworking techniques including using an axe to chop the stakes into points. The steps are created from wooden fence posts, secured with stakes. Lots of digging up of earth with mattocks (looks like a big pick axe), leveling off to ensure an even keel and then pounding back down with a tamper (a pole with a heavy weight on the end). Probably the most strenuous of our tasks but the results are immediate and it’s always surprising just how much work we get done in 2 hours. The pulling of the hoary cress, however, is a time consuming job with the results not immediately obvious. For instance we have cleared one of the old

The Steps Team

golf tees on the extension. It took a 3 person team 2 sessions to clear, a total of 12 (wo)man hours to clear a relatively small patch. Ragwort season is nearly upon us and we will be needing lots of willing bodies to help us pull so don’t be shy, come along for one of our sessions to see what it’s all about. Friends of Beacon Hill will be holding a Quiz Night at the Ovingdean Village Hall on Friday 20�� July, Doors and bar open 8PM Quiz starts 8:30. We are fundraising to replace the decrepit picnic benches at the southerly end of the Nature Reserve. We meet 2ⁿ� Wednesday and 4�� Friday of each month at 10AM at the Beacon Hub Cafe Kiosk. Tools are provided but please wear sturdy shoes/boots/gloves.

Local history - Article 74

Mike Laslett

Signs of Sewers

Victorian Brighton had a huge problem with sewage. Most sewage went into cesspits where it leaked through the porous chalk into drinking water wells or floated down gutters straight onto the beach. As the population of Brighton increased from 12,000 in 1811 to 77,000 in 1861 there was an urgent need to address this problem. Some minor plans were put into place but eventually the 1870’s saw the construction of the seven-mile Brighton Intercepting Sewer, built in brick from Hove Street to Portobello, where material dispersed at sea. This scheme resulted in two unusual landmarks appearing here in the Deans. Sewer gases were a serious problem and adequate ventilation had to be provided by sixty ventilation shafts. In order to keep air moving through the system a coke fire burnt 24 hours a day at Roedean and its 102-foot high chimney stood on the cliff top south of the coast road, east of Roedean School. It was eventually demolished in 1933 for the construction of Marine Drive, although part of its concrete base can still be seen on the cliff top. 102ft Roedean Chimney

Distant view of Roedean Chimney

Of the other ventilation shafts the most unusual must be that built at Rottingdean Heights in 1885. Here the shaft was concealed by a dummy house. At the time it was the only dwelling on Rottingdean Hill (as the coast road from Rottingdean to Saltdean was known) and stood where 135 Marine Drive is today, next to Frederick House. The only clues remaining today are the red brick pillars of the front wall. It was nicknamed ‘The Mortuary,’ as this was where the bodies of sailors which washed ashore could be laid until burial. It was finally demolished in 1973 when it was replaced by a modern home. Dummy House

House on Rottingdean Hill

The plans (below and right) show the details of the house and its accommodation and bear the signature of Philip Lockwood. As Brighton Borough Surveyor, he was responsible for more enduring attractions such as the beautiful Moorish decorations which you see as you enter The Brighton Dome concert hall.

The modern sewer follows a similar route but instead of discharging untreated material into the sea off Portobello, it transports effluent to a modern sewage treatment works at Hoddern Farm, Peacehaven.

Neighbourhood Watch

White Van Warning We feel it relevant and important that we mention, once again, a familiar warning!! Of late we have had several reports of white vans behaving suspiciously not only in the Saltdean, Rottingdean and Ovingdean areas but also in Woodingdean, Peacehaven and Patcham. Their intentions, according to some reports, appear to be more than just driving by looking for scrap metal left outside. There have been reports of the occupants of the van accessing the rear of some properties. Once again, we ask you to continue to be on your guard and if you see anything that looks suspicious please inform the police. The registration number and description of the van and occupants, if possible, is always very useful. Just a little tip, if you haven’t any pen and paper to make a note of this information you can always use your phone and take a photograph. However, even if you do not manage to get all of this information it is still important to report it. We are aware there are problems with getting through to 101 at times and we understand the frustration when this happens. (Calls to 101 cost 15p for the entire call from both mobile phones and landlines). The ‘powers that be’ are trying hard to rectify this. We must reiterate to you the importance that anything suspicious should be reported, as soon as possible, however if you see anyone actually accessing the

property, this should be called in on 999. You may not be aware, but incidents can also be reported online. See below for further information. Remember, the only way the Police can act is if they receive reports from the public. Your report could be the last piece of the jigsaw that they need!! ● 101 Non-Emergency when you do not require an urgent response. ● 999 When a life is threatened or there is imminent danger or an incident actually taking place. ● Report online – The online service, for reporting any number of things including crimes, is available 24/7. Visit sussex.police.uk/reportonline You should receive a response within 24 hours. ● Text or Typetalk – If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired you can contact the Police using TypeTalk on 18000 or by sending a text to 65999 (due to the nature of SMS texts, the Police may not receive your message immediately). ● REPORTING ANONYMOUSLY – contact Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 www.crimestoppers-uk-org For more information about Neighbourhood Watch please contact Secretary Linda Hood 01273 306441 or email nhw.sro-sec@hotmail.co.uk

Financial information

Preparing For Income In Retirement We spend our working lives saving for retirement and, while contributions into pensions and savings are important, in the accumulation stage the way they perform can be even more important. Typically how your pensions and savings contracts perform will dictate what level of income you have in retirement and, therefore, how comfortable you are.

Building a retirement income strategy starts with a realistic look at how much retirement income you will need after taking into account your potential ongoing expenditure in retirement and the kind of lifestyle you wish to have. Then saving sufficient money, often on a monthly basis, to try and build your retirement pot to achieve your objective, whilst regularly reviewing this pot’s progress to ensure your retirement savings remains on track. There is no ‘one-size-fits all’ retirement income strategy. However, most people will aim to provide their retirement income from a number of different sources including a well diversified pension contract and savings portfolio, including for example ISA’s. Then when the accumulation stage ends and you reach your proposed retirement date, there are a number of areas which should be considered and these include: Guaranteed income: Investment returns are never guaranteed. But certain insurance products like a Pension Annuity can provide a guaranteed and reliable income stream to help you budget in retirement with greater certainty. Always shop around to get the best Annuity rate payable from the whole of the market via an Open Market Option [OMO]. Flexibility: As you never know when the unexpected need for cash may arise, having access to and, therefore, control over your assets is important for some but flexibility usually comes at a cost. For example, giving up the predictable and guaranteed income stream of a Pension Annuity in order to have flexibility will, therefore, bring longevity, investment performance and ongoing investment risk into play.

Growth potential: It’s important that your ongoing retirement income has growth potential that can outpace inflation. However, you should balance this need for future growth against the risk of exposing too much of your savings to high risk funds with the excessive market fluctuations that this may incur. Finally, providing you own your property, there is always the potential of increasing your ongoing income in retirement by considering an Equity Release type product. Longevity: We often live longer than we initially expect and rising longevity poses a problem for drawdown investors in a way that it doesn’t for those who buy an increasing Annuity. Data published by the Office for National Statistics shows that the number of Britons reaching the age of 100 has quadrupled in the past 30 years and could do so again by 2035. In other words, you can be a long-time retired – for example 30 years or more. Getting Advice: If you are thinking of taking out a Pension Plan or wish to commence taking the benefits from an existing contract, a qualified Independent Financial Adviser can help you understand the steps involved and talk you through your various options. If required, please contact us for advice. This article has been written by; Graham Cooper, DipPFS Grange Financial Services 01273 390951 Grange Financial Services are an Appointed Representative of Best Practice IFA Group Limited Best Practice IFA Group Limited is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority Grange Financial Services is a Trading Name of Grange Financial (Sussex) Limited

Asset preservation: Knowing that your ongoing retirement income is safe can help you sleep at night but investments that aim to preserve your Capital (in other words, not lose you money), come with different sorts of risks. For example, these types of investments generally offer relatively low returns and your capital might not be large enough to generate the level of income required to fund your desired retirement lifestyle. Plus, your income may not grow quickly enough to even keep pace with ongoing inflation.

Cinema Saltdean Film Review

Goodbye Christopher Robin "O wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us!". (Robert Burns) Translated: Oh would some Power give us the gift To see ourselves as others see us! This is the background story of ‘Winnie the Pooh’, beloved by children over many generations. ‘Winnie the Pooh’ was not the product of some smart Sylvanian Family marketing concept, fuelled by, what some might call, a cynical money machine. No, this is a story of the accidental birth of ‘Winnie the Pooh’, and the often heart-rending* story, of A.A. Milne and that of his son Christopher Robin. Together, they brought Winnie into the world. (*Bring a hankie.) Alan Alexander Milne had a long career as poet, playwright, polemicist, peace campaigner and novelist. He fought in the First World War and arrived home with what we now recognise as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). In the same way that JM Barrie was swallowed up by his creation ‘Peter Pan’, most of Milne’s work was overshadowed by his teddy bear creation. Pursuance of any creative venture, however, impacts on the lives of those who surround the creator. A.A. Milne’s creation was to have a profound impact on his son, Christopher Robin, played beautifully by Will Tilston.

Cert. PG

Week with Marilyn’ and ‘Woman in Gold’). There’s also a sensitive performance by Kelly McDonald (‘No Country for Old Men’, ‘Gosford Park’) as the put-upon Nanny whose charge was Billy Moon. It’s likely that neither A.A. Milne nor JM Barrie had “the giftie” to see themselves “as ithers see” them. Neither had that luxury afforded them but in each case they would have exonerated themselves by explaining the mitigating circumstances surrounding their actions and creations. (Interesting to apply this logic to Dr Frankenstein and his monster.) ‘Goodbye Christopher Robin’ does not sit in judgement on the Milnes nor defend their actions; it rather leaves you to form your own opinion. We’re ‘dark’ in August: something about the volunteers wanting a break – but our September film is a ‘special’. It’s a brand-new release: ‘The Bromley Boys’ (PG). A boy, a girl, and the worst football team in Britain: a funny, yet touching, coming-of-age football memoir. We will be joined by Brenock O’ Connor, one of the stars of the film, in a Q&A at the end of the screening. Jon

Christopher Robin (called Billy Moon by the family) became accidentally famous through his father’s writing him into the ‘Winnie the Pooh’ books. The price of this accidental fame was the loss of childhood. Christopher and Pooh became a worldwide phenomenon: his parents, part of the London elite, rejoiced in their success and lived extravagant lifestyles, whilst Christopher, emotionally isolated, is at home, brought up by Nanny. The film implies that Milne felt that the success of the ‘Winnie the Pooh’ books was in some way a reward for his ‘long apprenticeship’; his living through the war; and writing his many books and plays. This may have provided some self-justification for his attitude towards Christopher: every silver lining has a cloud. This could have turned into mawkish, sentimental claptrap - it is not. Here are finely balanced performances, with Domhnall Gleeson, as Milne (‘Ex Machina’, ‘Anna Karenina’), excellent as the PTSD victim plagued with stark visions of war, unable to connect emotionally; convincingly adept at showing his detachment from his son: more chilling than a horror film! The film is beautifully set in rural Sussex and looks fabulous at the hands of Director Simon Curtis (‘My To advertise call 01273 586527 or email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

Lions July Update All the latest news from Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions… Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions supporting books for local primary school Lion President Ian Christie recently visited Rudyard Kipling Primary School to present a book to each of the Reception Class pupils. Parents were there too to see their sons and daughters receive these and Ian said, “I am delighted to present these books and I hope they will encourage the children to continue reading." Judging by the reaction of the children he could see this would be the case. This was the last in a round of book presentations for local Primary Schools to celebrate the Centennial of Lions Clubs International. Saltdean Gala – Saltdean Oval 15�� 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 4pm. The Gala includes various stalls together with a display of owls, bouncy castles and a coconut shy. You will find lots of other games and stalls along with a bar and the delicious Lions barbeque using locally sourced meat from our local butchers including big sausages, meaty beef burgers and tasty veggie options all with carefully chopped onions, if desired. There will be pony rides all day, candy floss, and the annual Saltdean Gala Dog Show. Arena events during the day will include: dancing, martial arts, music and song, races for children and adults and performing arts. Sussex Blinds are sponsoring the races, with medals for the first 3 in each race. This year, back by popular demand, there will be an open tug-of-war competition. Our Summer Draw tickets will also be available on the day with winners being drawn at the end of the Gala, first prize £200!

to thank Coastway Veterinary Group for supporting this part of the Gala. Rottingdean Village Fair 4�� August The ever popular Rottingdean Village Fair is always supported by the Lions. Our world famous barbeque will be there ably complemented by our well stocked bar. On a hot summer’s day the bar is most welcome while the barbeque will be sizzling with delicious beef burgers, hot dogs and some tasty veggie options to ward off hunger during a busy fun day. Looking a little further ahead, our annual sponsored swim at Roedean School Pool is on Sunday 18�� November. Information is now available. Please contact us, if you would like details. If you would like more information on any of the above activities, or details on how to enter a team for our sponsored swim please contact Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions on 08458 339617 or email at info@rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk. Lion Roger Bluff

The Saltdean Gala Dog Show begins with registration starting from 11 am with competitions beginning from 12 noon onwards. There is a registration fee of £1.50 per dog per class or 4 for £5. There will be prizes in all 12 defined classes that this year will be: fancy dress, cutest puppy, best rescue, golden oldie, dog most like its owner, most talented, the most handsome dog, prettiest girl, temptation alley, sausage catcher, waggiest tail and the dog the judge would most like to take home. 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.

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

The Grange Gallery These summer months are a wonderful time to stroll around the centre of Rottingdean to admire the architecture, the pond and the gardens; whilst doing so be sure to drop in to the Grange Gallery - not only to look at the new exhibitions, but also to sample the delicious lunches and teas provided by the café in the Grange garden. June 26 - July 22. A Walk on the wild side CAROL LAWSON, CHRIS McEWAN and NICHOLA CAMPBELL. A sense of mystery, of intrigue; atmospheric landscapes, hidden elements in apparently benign settings. Plus the wild imaginings from Chris McEwan’s sketchbooks…..

Rottingdean Village Fair This year’s Rottingdean Village Fair will be on the Green and in Kipling Gardens on Saturday 4th August between 10.30am – 4pm. This year the Village Fair will be particularly remembering the 100�� Anniversary of the ending of The First World War. In fact, the date of the Village Fair coincides with the outbreak of the war and The Royal British Legion will be commemorating this with a short act of remembrance. Also this year sees the hundredth anniversary of Votes for Women and some stall holders will acknowledge this with costume and decoration. 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.

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 MASCOT which is a local charity supporting families with Autistic children and also The Trevor Mann Baby Unit. 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. Graham Sheppard rottingdeanvillagefair@gmail.com

Tour De France Word Search Finally we have space in the magazine for a fun page, and as the Tour De France is by now well underway this seemed an appropriate subject to cover, the fact that the UK seem to do far better at cycling than many other sports these days is another reason! The puzzle probably won’t prove too challenging but we will post a solution on The Deans Magazine Facebook page in Early July.

Word List Alberto Contador Chris Froome Eddy Merckx France Mount Ventoux Paris Quick Step Team Sky

Tour Trivia The race started in 1903 and has been run every year since then except for two breaks for the First and Second World Wars 1915-19, 1940-1947. The oldest rider to take part was Henri Paret who rode in the 1904 edition when he was 50 years old! The 2018 Tour takes place over 3 weeks from 7-29�� July and riders will have covered 3351KM by the time they cross the line in Paris.

Local Event

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 year it is being held on Saturday 28ďż˝ďż˝ July. 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. There is an auction at about 3.30pm for many of the plants, vegetables and produce which go for real bargain prices. 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 Borde Hill Gardens and Hever Castle with a trip to Wisley planned for the Autumn. 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 01273 303183.
