Art in the Deans

The Society of Sussex Painters, Sculptors and Engravers The Grange Art Gallery 3 - 15th November The Society of Sussex Painters, Sculptors and Engravers was founded in 1924, around the time that the Bloomsbury Group began, and their first exhibition was in 1925 at Worthing Museum of Art. It was in the same gallery that they celebrated their 90�� anniversary with an exhibition in 2014. The SSP have frequently exhibited at The Grange Art Gallery, and in November they will present a diverse range of work from fifteen to twenty Sussex artists, each contributing up to five pieces of work. “There is no ‘house style’ in the SSP,” says Barry Hinchliff, the society’s president, “but perhaps because of our proximity to London r even Ditchling and Charleston, together with an excellent College of Art in Brighton, the work of members has always been fresh, lively and contemporary.” He explains that the title of the society covers the disciplines in most of their exhibitions; incorporating abstract and mixed media painting, oils, acrylics, water colour, print-making and sculpture in various media. Barry has had a long association with the Grange Art Gallery. In 1993 when The Rottingdean Preservation Society took over running the Grange, Barry was co-opted onto their team to be the gallery’s first curator. A role he had for eighteen years. Although he is still painting, he is now retiring as the SSP President. “I would like to hand over the mahl stick to someone else.” For information on SSP membership, contact Helen Armstrong on01273 881304: or email hh.armstrong@ntlworld.com

Osteopathy tips

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

Sacroiliac Pain The sacroiliac joint (SI joint or SIJ) is between the sacrum, the triangular bone at the base of the spine and the ilium bones of the pelvis. During movement the SIJ helps distribute the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight from the trunk to the pelvis and extremities while protecting the spine, acting as shock absorption. Anatomy: The SI joints, covered by cartilage, are only capable of a small amount of movement. Their stability is maintained mostly by very strong ligaments connecting the sacrum and ilium inside and outside the joints. The male and female pelvis are different shapes and the SI joints are also slightly different. The SI ligaments loosen during pregnancy due to the hormone relaxin, which allows the pelvic bones to widen during the birthing process. Symptoms: SIJ pain can be sharp or dull, starting at the SI joint (the dimple) and can move to the buttocks, thighs, groins or up the back. Low back pain is common as well as buttock pain on one of both sides. Sometimes standing up triggers the pain and it may be worse in the morning, easing during the day. SIJ pain can be felt in the hip and needs to be differentiated from hip joint pain. Pain can be aggravated by bending over or by standing up after sitting for a long time; laying down can ease it. Causes: Trauma such as a direct fall on the buttocks, rear-end or broad-side type car accidents, stepping from an unexpected height, repeated stress injuries such as jogging, muscle imbalance, uneven leg length or after lumbar fusion surgery. The joints become inflamed (sacroiliitis) in Ankylosing spondylitis causing pain in the low back and buttocks; also in Polyarthritis. Hormonal changes can affect the SIJ, particularly during pregnancy and lactation. SIJ pain that occurs for no apparent reason is called idiopathic. Diagnosis: You will need to see your doctor if you have sudden numbness or tingling in lower back and hips, weakness or numbness in legs, sudden increase in pain, if your recovery is slower than expected or if you have a fever. The doctor will move your legs and hips in different positions to help diagnose SIJ dysfunction. X-rays, injections, MRI or a CT scan may be required as well as blood tests to help diagnose the cause. Treatment: Ice packs, analgesia and rest in acute stages, spinal manipulation, pelvic stabilisation exercises, wearing a support brace. More invasive treatments include injections into the joint and ligaments, radio frequency neurotomy or ablation, a minimally invasive surgical procedure using heat from radio waves to destroy the nerves carrying pain to SIJ, cryotherapy, or surgery to fuse the SIJ.

Osteopathic/Manual Management: From an Osteopathic perspective, SIJ pain can sometimes be related to and referred from issues in other areas of the pelvis and low back. Take a detailed case history to understand the nature of the problem and surrounding issues. Examine the pelvis, back and legs 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 reduce tension, nerve irritation and pain. Advice regarding exercise and stretching of back, buttocks and legs. 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

Balsdean Mike Laslett

Local History - Part 54

This monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article is a two page spread covering the destruction of Balsdeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm buildings during the Second World War. Last year I wrote about the deserted village of Balsdean. The location of the village, on the path which runs between Bazehill Road, Balsdean Pumping Station and Castle Hill Nature Reserve, is indicated on the map. Some photographs have recently become available which show the scenes before and after the destruction of the farm buildings by army target practice in 1942. These photographs may also be viewed at The Grange, Rottingdean. 1. Balsdean Manor farmhouse

2. Happier times show Balsdean Manor farmhouse circa 1925 with the Edwards Family. The photographer has the Chapel behind him.

8. Remains of the 12ďż˝ďż˝ Century Balsdean Chapel. It had been deconsecrated and used as a barn at the time of demolition.

5. Tanks at Rottingdean by the Green

9. Balsdean farm labourer's cottage partly damaged.

6. Tanks rolling into an apparently intact Balsdean, behind a double row of military barbed wire. The War Office requisitioned these downs in 1942 but training had been taking place in the area for some time. The isolated building left of centre and behind some branches is the chapel intact.

7. From the same viewpoint as photo 6 and showing the demolition of many buildings for target practice. The chapel has been reduced to a pile of rubble as can clearly be seen in photo 8. Castle Hill Nature reserve is ahead, while the road coming in on the right is from Balsdean Pumping Station.

10. A badly damaged Norton Farmhouse.

The photographs of military activity at Balsdean were taken by Capt. Bertie Hubbard McLaren, who was Superintendent of Parks at Brighton Corporation during WWII. He was responsible for the 1920's redesign of both the Level and Preston Park Rockery. I would like to show my appreciation to David Cuthbertson for drawing the existence of these photographs to my attention. They are reproduced by permission of The Royal Pavilion and Museums, Brighton & Hove.

Local History Feature

Brighton lifeboats A short monthly series on their history Part Eight - The Fifties and later Following the recovery, mainly financial, of the country from WW2 the RNLI started an intense programme to bring it's ever growing fleet into line with the requirements and technological advances of the last two decades. Initially a programme of twenty nine new boats, later expanded by fifty boats was planned. The first hundred plus years of it's existence had seen an entire fleet of pulling and sailing lifeboats. In the twenties and thirties with reliable engines available the fleet had slowly become mechanised and in 1957 the very last pulling lifeboat [Whitby] was taken out of service. Being built now was a fleet of purpose built vessels between about thirty to fifty feet in length, all totally reliant on power and designed to suit the various sea conditions and launch situations. These varied from vessels permanently afloat in harbours to slipway launches and beach launches. All gave the crew great protection and the ability to operate in horrendous conditions but all were only capable of 8-9 knots. The main remaining point for discussion was that of the boats having a self righting ability. Until now this ability had been one of design shape, some with pumped water ballast,etc. several systems had been tried with varied success or otherwise. Following the disastrous capsizes in 1953 of the Fraserburgh lifeboat and the following year of the Arbroath vessel with a total of twelve crew lost the decision was made that all vessels should be capable of self righting by the end of the following decade. Retro fits of a number of systems were initiated, often based round large manually or auto triggered air bags,etc. but in 1958 the first of a new design of self-righter by Richard Oakley was launched. 37 feet in length and with a large water ballast tank fitted which if inverted flowed to a righting tank which made the vessel unstable in the inverted position and so self righted. While this system was rather cumbersome and was rapidly improved upon in later years the many Oakley lifeboat designs became famous all over the world. In 1886 when the Southport and St Annes lifeboats capsized on the same call-out with the loss of twenty seven men it was not until 1979 that two lifeboats - the Barra and Islay boats - capsized on the same mission. This time the difference was that both vessels righted and although some crew were injured, none were lost. Disasters in overpowering sea conditions will regrettably never be impossible to design against but the continuing programme to give crews the ultimate in vessels will always move forward. The next criteria was for greater, reliable speed. Much earlier a "high speed" [17 knots] boat had been built which was deemed unsuitable for lifeboat work but whose idea became the design starting point for the air/sea rescue and MTB vessels famous during the war. Together with vastly improved diesels and incredible new materials which were stronger, lighter and easier to manufacture the era of 20+knot vessels was born. Intermediate with these was a vessel which was tried and adapted to our requirements from the US Coastguards. Built initially of steel it became the 44ft Waveney and was used worldwide for many years, one being based in Newhaven in the seventies and early eighties. Superceding this boat were the Arun and Trent classes which are the first to look like the boats we recognise today. Fantastic boats, the crew are totally enclosed on passage, capable of 20+knots in almost any conditions that the crew can take, incredible range of electronics, first aid facilities, two 500hp engines, huge range,etc. These two in turn were replaced by the Severn class stationed today at Newhaven, slightly faster with twice the power and

improved electronics and facilities. Even this incredible vessel has itself now been replaced by the Tamar class, one of which is stationed at Shoreham. Vessel design still progresses the latest being the Shannon, a completely new design for shallow work and beach launch and using water-jet drives. Hastings has the first in this area. In about 200 words we have just traversed the most incredible period of design and innovation of offshore, all weather vessels in the history of the RNLI which deserves reams, books, films,etc. about this amazing achievement. So where does this leave Brighton you may ask ! It's lifeboat station with it's pulling boat was closed in 1931 as the motor lifeboats of Newhaven and Shoreham could do the jobs quicker and easier. From the late fifties to this day lifeboat casualties have been changing reflecting the change in the way the sea is used for recreation. Before the twentieth century swimming for pleasure was unheard of and it was only in the sixties that dinghy sailing and small trailable boats with small engines,etc. became available to everybody. These operated mainly close inshore, usually in holiday areas and a new breed of lightweight, fast response lifeboats had to be designed to cover this explosion of sea borne users. Again the availability of new materials created new designs. Rubberised impermeable fabrics created a range of craft with inflatable sponsons. Light,easily carried, with a small outboard motor and very manoeuvrable they could be launched quickly almost anywhere. Their lifesaving potential was recognised on an immediate basis globally. Not rushing in, the RNLI evaluated many variations before settling on it's preferred design which with many small improvements is still in use almost unchanged today. The "D" class Inshore Lifeboat [ILB] was born and in 1965 one of the first was trialled in Brighton. These types of craft are around in huge numbers and variations today but the original "D" class forms the base of the RNLI pyramid of rescue craft of all types covering inshore requirements. Yet to come is the design of the Atlantic class boats, one of the most successful boats anywhere and which, in the RNLI, forms the link between inshore and offshore lifesaving capability. If your group, school,etc would like a talk on the RNLI or beach/water safety or a station visit please call Margaret Kimber 07786 446901 Compiled by Alan Young 07950 224122

Local Author Barbara Whatley announces new Children’s Book We do Barbara an injustice by just calling her a local author, as in her decades long career she has done so many things including acting in films, on stage and television, a game show hostess and more recently carer for her husband Rupert, so its amazing really that she found time to sit down and write a book… Barbara got the idea for her book from watching her Cocker Spaniel, Portia playing with her grand niece, Gabriella, where she started wondering how she could capture the fun they had together. Slowly she pieced together the idea for Portrait of Portia, a children’s book aimed at 4 year olds and illustrated beautifully throughout by Eira Reeves and Diane Matthes. The book is interactive as it is a way for children to learn a bit about themselves and to release emotion if they are struggling to do so. Originally Barbara had aimed to self publish the book for children in her own family but as word got out it became clear that there is a much wider audience who want to read it: local libraries and bookshops have shown great interest, and Great Ormand Street have 100 copies, indeed it has also found its way to the Royal Family where it was very well received. The book is available from Amazon.co.uk and Peacehaven based print company WASP at £4.99

Motor Sport Stars Fund Raising for Children’s Hospital The local stars of a charity motorsport event, visited the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital (the Alex) in Brighton recently to present to staff with their cheque for the staggering amount of £37,000. ‘The Brighton Bears’ National Banger team have been racing for over 30 years, across the country and mainland Europe with their unique driving style. In recent years, they have been putting back into the community from where they come, with an annual charity meeting, with all proceeds going to support the vital work of the children’s hospital. ‘The Bears Big Bash’ returned for its fourth running in the summer, in front of a packed crowd at Arlington Stadium in Eastbourne. Seven months of hard work and planning ensured the continued success of the event, which last year raised over £20,000, enabling the purchase of vital heart monitors for the dedicated Children’s Emergency Department at the Alex. Funds raised by The Brighton Bears at this year’s event will enable staff to fund ongoing projects at the Alex, as well as providing potentially life-saving defibrillators for schools in Sussex. Representatives from ‘The Bears’, including team captain Nigel Riley, joined Ryan Heal and Liz McCluskey from the hospital, for an official cheque presentation. Ambassador for the hospital (and Saltdean resident), Michael Burnage MBE, helped organise the annual fundraiser, and said: “As a group we were determined to better our fundraising total from last year. Exceeding £20,000 was always going to be a big ask, and so we have held a number of events across the year, including a premiere at Cineworld down at the Marina.”

“The ‘Big Bash’ event at Eastbourne was the culmination of the year’s activities that saw us not only beat, but smash our previous amounts. As a local team with members drawn from right across the city, it means a great deal to us to give back in such a way.” Liz McCluskey from The Alex, expressed her thanks to Michael and The Bears, she said: “To say we were overwhelmed by the amount raised through The Bears Big Bash event is an understatement – we couldn’t believe it when we heard the news that they had smashed their fundraising target and nearly doubled the amount raised last year! “We are so very grateful to everyone involved in the event for their incredible efforts, which really will make a difference to the lives of sick children in Sussex.”

Local Counsellor

What is Counselling? There are moments in everybodyÂ´s lives where we could do with some extra support. Just as we would visit a medical doctor to help heal our physical ailments, at times in order to thrive we need to work on our psychological well being too. A counsellor is not there to sit you down and tell you what to do - instead they will encourage you to talk about what's bothering you in order to uncover any root causes and identify your specific ways of thinking. For many, the fact that counselling offers a safe and confidential environment to speak in can bring immediate relief. In life, what we say to others can sometimes have a knock-on effect, altering relationships and the way people see each other. Counselling eliminates this problem by offering you a confidential space and the freedom to explore your own thoughts with an unbiased, therapeutically trained party. Whilst counsellors may not give you concrete advice or a checklist of things to do to feel better, what they will do is help you uncover your own insight and understanding of your problems, providing you with the tools which will help you to resolve them on your own, whilst supporting you along the way.

difficulties you are facing so that eventually you can come out the other side feeling more positive. To ensure that you find a reputable therapist, its best to check that they are a member, (and even better an accredited member), of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), www.bacp.co.uk. To help you find the right therapist for you, the BACP maintains a register of its members in an easy to use website, www.itsgoodtotalk.org.uk which also has lots of information about the various types of talking therapies available in the UK, news and resources you may find helpful.

In the majority of cases, a single session will not be enough to help overcome any issues you're facing. Counselling is a journey, and it takes time and consistency to work effectively. Because of this, many people opt for regular counselling sessions to make the most of the process. Counselling can help you understand yourself better and the way you think, which will ultimately help you develop a clearer understanding of your problems. The more armed with information you are, the easier it gradually becomes to navigate your way through any

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

News from the Lions This month we give a big thank you for all the great support given to our recent Murder Mystery evening and annual sponsored swim. We also look forward to upcoming celebrations for our 100�� anniversary of the Lions. Our Murder Mystery Evening was a sellout success. Everyone had a wonderful evening while raising over £600, much needed funds for local charities and community/Lions projects. I would like to thank everyone involved in organising such a successful event. Keep your eyes open for another evening in the not too distant future. Also, our popular Sponsored Swim at Roedean School Pool attracted even more entries than last year – seven teams from one school alone. The proceeds are split between the team's own choice of charity or good cause and Lions’ charities; the Lions’ principal beneficiary this year once again being Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice. I would also like to thank all involved for organising such a fun and worthwhile event. Do contact us if you would like to enter a team next year. Please remember that this month on Saturday 12�� November, the rhythm and blues group SlimShack will be performing for us at Rottingdean Village Hall, monies raised will go to local charities and community/Lions projects. Tickets are £10 each and are available now but numbers are strictly limited. There will be a licensed bar. It should be a lively evening with this well-known, much loved, local group. We hope you can join us for some good old Northern Soul. It will be a special evening. On Saturday 3�� December, during the Rottingdean Smugglers Night celebrations, Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions will get involved by organising their annual Christmas Auction at The White Horse. Last year this auction was held with many lots provided by local traders and others. In 2015 the bidders did the Lions proud with over £1,840 raised. The Lions are hoping that they will at least match last year’s success this December. Moreover, they would like to thank everyone who provided a lot last year and they were very grateful to the enthusiastic bidders. The Lions hope you will all be as supportive this year.

year’s auction please see contact details below. Also if you know any senior citizens who would enjoy joining us for a Christmas lunch please pass their names to us. Next year will be an important one for us as Lions Clubs International has been providing service since 1917. This will be an exciting time for the Club and we want to celebrate together. To do this we aim to provide a book for reception class children in all the primary schools in our area, through the book gifting scheme, to start all pupils with their own library of books. We also want to grow our numbers for as we serve we always remember our heartfelt slogan, ‘Where there’s a need there’s a Lion.’ If you would like more information on any of our services, fundraising activities, lodging an interest in entering a team for our 2017 Sponsored Swim, if you would like some tickets for the SlimShack Concert or you have any auction lots please contact Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions on 08458 339617 or email us at info@rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk.

News from Cinema Saltdean

Eye in the Sky

(Cert 15)

Tuesday 22nd November ‘Eye in the Sky’ (15) on 22ⁿ� November, packs a punch. It has a lean storyline that throws into our laps a modern warfare scenario, allowing us insight into the cumbersome decision-making process that swings into being when field operations meet politics, foreign policy and personal opinion. Helen Mirren (‘Hundred Foot Journey’) is Col. Katherine Powell, a military officer commanding an operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Having confirmation that terrorists are inside a compound, near a small village, plans are put in place to eliminate them. Hesitation to take action sets in when an innocent girl enters the kill zone: the film largely hinges on the question ‘to shoot or not to shoot?’ Powell just wants to get the job done, seeing this as a golden opportunity to take out some very undesirable characters, but gets tangled in red tape and a chain of command so tortuous that it makes you wonder how any decisions, in modern warfare, can be made in anything like a timely fashion. Counter-arguments and counter-counter-arguments abound, raised by bureaucratic politicians and the military, informed by the legalities of what can and cannot be done on foreign soil, by another nation’s military. Meanwhile, the window of opportunity to take out the terrorists, is closing.

Next month: it’s best bib and tucker - we’re off to Glyndebourne! Or, rather, they obligingly come to us, with a filmed performance of Glyndebourne’s delightful presentation of Donizetti’s comic opera ‘L’Elisir d’Amore’ (‘The Love Potion’), sung in Italian, with English subtitles. Prosecco will be available! Tickets are the usual £5.50 available from our box offices and online at: www.cinemasaltdean.org As we did with our December 2015 film ‘Cinderella’, ALL PROCEEDS from this performance will go to The Children’s Society: we are indebted to Glyndebourne and The Royal Opera House for donating the film and, even more generously, the performance licence. Very grateful thanks to both. If you fancy getting involved in your local community cinema, come and talk to us: we’re listening!

Helen Mirren once again puts in a sterling performance, as far away from the Michelin-starred restaurateur in ‘The Hundred Foot Journey’ as she could be: here in combat fatigues commanding operations from her bunker. It’s all very tense, exciting, gripping and will have you on the edge of your seat. The technology of 21�� Century warfare is unbelievable in both its operation and miniaturisation; there are drones, used for surveillance, that are no bigger than a fly. At the heart of it all, though, the film indirectly poses, us, the audience, with the question: ‘would you pull the trigger under this set of these circumstances?’. Take action and there are consequences; don’t take action and there are consequences. This is thought-provoking stuff and a film that will have you talking for days to come, about the decision taken on screen. I imagine you will be conflicted by what the ‘right’ course of action should have been; it would be interesting to take a vote – don’t worry we won’t! There’s a notable performance from Alan Rickman (‘A Little Chaos’) as Lieutenant General Frank Benson. Sadly, this was Alan Rickman’s final film.

Winter Tips

Be Prepared! Some Simple Tips for Keeping Safe and Warm in Winter From the Community Resilience Planning Team Be Prepared Get your boiler serviced before the really bad weather kicks in. Consider installing additional insulation. Test your fire and carbon monoxide alarms. Keep a torch handy and make sure you have spare batteries. Keep some emergency non-perishable food supplies eg tinned soup, energy cereal bars Keep your home warm Your main living room should be at least 21 degrees centigrade (70 F) and your bedroom at least 18 degrees centigrade (64 F). If you feel cold turn up the heat. It is better to keep your home at a constant stable temperature than live with fluctuations. Many modern central heating boilers are more economic to run 24 /7. Keep your bedroom windows closed at night when it is cold. This is important because inhaling cold air can raise the risk of chest infections, heart attacks and strokes. Never use a hot water bottle with an electric blanket. Think healthy Stay active if you can, it is good for wellbeing and fitness, but don’t take unnecessary risks going outside in snow and ice. Wrap up warmly, several thin layers of clothing will be warmer than one thick layer. Wear a hat, gloves and warm scarf pulled up over your face when it’s really cold.

Even if it’s not a severe winter cold weather makes us vulnerable to some illnesses. If you are over 65 or in a vulnerable group you are entitled to a flu jab. Ask your GP or pharmacist for advice. Hot food and regular hot drinks will help you stay warm. Take extra care when driving Remember weather forecasts are not guaranteed 100% accurate. Check your tyres, water and petrol levels before you set off on a long journey. Allow extra time in bad weather. Charge your mobile phone before setting off. Keep an emergency kit in the car: a torch, de-icer spray, snow shovel, an extra coat or blanket and thick socks and boots to put on should the need arise On a long journey take a thermos of hot drink. Please be a good neighbour If there is someone old, frail or vulnerable near you please give them a call.

St Nicholas Christmas Tree Festival Saint Nicholas; Sailors, Children, Prisoners and Trees! When I first came to visit St Nicholas’ church, I was struck by the carving of the saint above the main door, his robes and lappets (the flappy bits at the back of his mitre) caught in the wind, depict the essence of a man looking out to sea. Sailors St. Nicholas' chief patronage is that of sailors and ships. Many ports, most notably in Greece, have icons of Nicholas, surrounded by ex-votos of small ships made of silver or carved of wood. Sailors returning safely from sea, place these in gratitude to St. Nicholas for protection received. In some places sailors, instead of wishing one another luck, say, "May St. Nicholas hold the tiller." Children Here we may be more familiar with St Nicholas as the patron of children in his role as Santa Claus. There are many stories that tell how St Nick, rescued children from some dreadful state and then returned them to their loving families. St Nick was a wise bishop who was known for his secret, selfless generosity and kindness, especially to children. A Tradition started, that on his feast day, 6�� Dec, St children would be given gifts and sweets. This tradition continues in many parts of Europe, with the 6�� Dec being the main gift giving day.

Prisoners Prisoners and those who are condemned unfairly are St. Nicholas' other main patronage. (he’s also patron of over 200 countries, towns and cities and over 100 trades/groups of people) Nicholas is said to have rushed to intercede for three soldiers who were about to be execute for crimes they did not commit, the fearless saint placed himself between the prisoners and the executioner’s sword, won them a reprieve and sought to clear their name. So where do the trees come in? In honour of the Saint for whom it is named (the Patron Saint), each church has a Patronal Festival, his year we will be keeping ours over the 9��, 10�� and 11�� of December, and to make it extra special we will be holding a Christmas Tree Festival. Individuals/businesses/groups can sponsor a tree for £50 and can decorate it in any way they wish. There will be a Gala opening on the Friday night, with a concert by the Ovingdean Singers (Tickets £5) and the church will be open on Saturday with refreshments in the hall. The Bishop of Chichester will preach and preside at our Patronal Eucharist on the Sunday morning and there will be a Christingle in the afternoon. I hope all these festivities pay due honour to our saint and, as he is patron of clergy as well, I for one will be happy to say, Sancte Nicolae, ora pro nobis.

Smugglers Night As we have said goodbye to summer, we are counting down the weeks until the fantastic Rottingdean Smugglers come out to play once again. This year, on 3�� December, Rottingdean celebrates once again our unique Smugglers Night, blending all kinds of fire, noise, light and devilry in an iconic coastal setting. Smugglers Night celebrates our proud piratical history, whilst also giving us an excuse to throw a December party. So if you get fed up with Christmas starting in September, then come smuggling with us. Everyone is invited, from the little to the mighty: you’re all fair game to a smuggler. In the afternoon, children can do face-painting, create sculptures to carry in the procession, meet Father Christmas or watch a puppet show from 2pm. Adults can get in the spirit in one of our 5 historic pubs, all serving incredible food to fuel you for marching and merry-making. Browse stalls and shops offering snacks, drinks and goodies as you can watch the incredible Blind Veterans walking across fire on the Terraces from 4.30pm. At 7pm we gather hundreds of pirates and smugglers together to march with flaming torches through the village streets, gathering on the Green to remember our predecessors. The hypnotic drumming from the talented bands of Sussex provides the backing track while the bangers ring out from the ancient windmill on the Beacon. The first banger signals the beginning of the march back to the beach.

From the floodlit Terraces (ideal for wheelchairs and buggies) you can watch the ghost pirate ship ignite as anticipation rises for the infamous fireworks. The incredible finale comes at 8.30pm when a ton of fireworks blow up the night sky. This is a free event, so we fundraise via membership and sponsorship. To march in the parade you must be insured as a member. We appreciate our corporate partners, and to become a partner, please see our website. Any volunteers for a Father Christmas… we’d love to ho ho ho hear from you. Of course, thousands of pirates and smugglers cannot organise themselves. Volunteers most welcome: a great time is guaranteed with a smuggler’s handshake. To help, please email info@rottindeansmugglers.co.uk.

Weight Watchers - Local Story Sarah Cross of Peacehaven joined her local Weight Watchers meeting after her 48�� birthday when the fear of being “fat at fifty” dawned on her. Whilst having success with weight loss in the past, life had gotten in the way and she had put it all back on, however this time Sarah knew she would be losing it for good. With her head back in the zone, Sarah went from just short of 16 stone to 10 stone. Since joining two years ago, Sarah has not only lost a grand total of 80lbs in weight, but has gained a passion for fitness. With the combination of meetings and family to support her, Sarah is feeling much healthier and has recently completed a 26 mile hike across the South Downs to raise money for Macmillan Cancer, something she would have never been able to do two years ago. As well as increasing her fitness levels with the help of a step tracker, Sarah says that the Weight Watchers food plan has also played a huge part in her loss. “The plan works for me and my family. We all sit down together most nights to have dinner together, which didn’t happen before.”

eating the same meals.” Weight Watchers No Count plan allows members with the flexibility to eat healthily and lose weight, without tracking and measuring everything they eat. “I am so proud of Sarah,” says Sarah’s leader Susan Catt, who runs meetings in Peacehaven and Hove. “She has been such a huge inspiration to myself and the other members of the Weight Watchers meeting and is proof that you can lose weight and keep it off by making small subtle changes to your eating and exercise habits while still enjoying a little treat every day.” To find out more about Sue’s meetings call 0345 677 7788 or to find out more about Weight Watchers or find your nearest meeting visit www.weightwatchers.com/uk.

Sarah explains the journey she has been on to reach this goal. “Combined with increased exercise, in my case walking, I have lost 80 lbs to date. I reached my initial goal in March 2015, six months after joining the class, continued to lose weight and set a revised goal in the summer of 2016. I find the No Count philosophy works; it fits into my lifestyle with the whole family
