Art in the Deans

Autumn Art Exhibitions At the Grange In October and November, the Grange Art Gallery opens its doors to wide ranging and thought provoking exhibitions. Prepare to have your ideas and perceptions challenged….. 6 – 18 October. Rob Upward. “High and Low.” This is Rob Upward’s fifth one-person exhibition at the Grange Art Gallery, and he has called it “High and Low”, because his thirty paintings look at landscape from mountains to sea. “I have become fascinated by the predominant colours in different landscapes; for example, the red-brown vastness of the Nullarbor Plain in Australia, the black lava fields of Hawaii.”

Right Amanda Davidson Far right Jan Mnich

20 October – l November. Amanda Davidson. “Imagination. Dead Imagine” (Samuel Beckett) Amanda Davidson is a published children’s book illustrator, author, who works mainly in pen and ink, watercolour, oils and acrylic. In this exhibition, shared with Vince Donlin, they explore the meaning of self, perception, bereavement, imagination, love and life in paint. 3-15 November. Society of Sussex Painters.

Right Christine Harfleet Far right Barry Hinchcliff

“The work of members has always been fresh, lively, contemporary” says Barry Hinchliff, the society’s president. And this year’s exhibition will show the work of fifteen to twenty Sussex artists, each contributing up to four pieces of work. The society was formed in 1924. Since then, they have had annual and bi-annual shows, very often at The Grange. 17 – 29 November. Jim MacAirt. “Zen TV” “We are mesmerized with phones, i-pads and widescreen tvs. I see that we are trapped in devices,” says Jim MacAirt. In this exhibition, he offers an antithesis to today’s intense preoccupation with watching. showing abstractions, images that require no dialogue or theory. Margaret Betts

Osteopathy tips

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

Leg Cramps A common and usually harmless condition where the muscles in the leg suddenly become tight and painful. Most commonly this occurs in the calf muscles, though it can affect any muscle of the leg or foot. Most leg cramps occur during sleep. Most cases reported to doctors occur in pregnant women in the last trimester and the over 60s, though all ages and both sexes can be affected. Symptoms: The muscles in the affected part of the leg suddenly become tight and painful due to an involuntary contracting or shortening of the affected leg muscle. This is known as a spasm and the muscle cannot be controlled. This is most common in the calf muscles and the feet and toes can become stiff too. Cramps can last from a few seconds to 10 minutes, with the thigh muscles lasting longest. Once the cramp has eased, it may remain painful and tender for several hours. Causes: Leg cramps that occur for no apparent reason are called idiopathic leg cramps. Secondary leg cramps can occur as a complication or symptom from an underlying health condition. Theories about the cause of idiopathic leg cramps include sudden restriction of blood supply to the affected muscle, abnormal nerve activity during sleep, excessive strain such as during exercise or age related shortening of the tendons, elastic tissue attaching muscle to bone. Secondary leg cramps are caused by extra weight of pregnancy, toxic build-up in liver disease, reduced salt levels due to dehydration, infections such as tetanus, post exercise while resting, neurological conditions such as motor neurone disease or peripheral neuropathy. Medication such as diuretics, nefidipine, statins, nicotinic acid and raloxifene can be a cause of cramps. Diagnosis: You will need to see your doctor if leg cramps are affecting your quality of life, particularly where sleep is affected. Also if they last longer than 10 minutes and exercise does not ease them or if you have been exposed to toxins or infections via a cut. The doctor will ask about symptoms, including numbness and swelling to determine if it is idiopathic or secondary and will also examine your legs and feet. Blood and urine tests may be requested to rule out underlying conditions.

Osteopathic/Manual Management: Take a detailed case history to understand the nature of the problem and surrounding issues. Examine the legs and feet 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 legs and feet. Treatment may include manipulation, deep soft tissue massage, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques, fascial techniques, dry needling, etc. Bathing in Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) can help to relax tight muscles. We are happy to advise you on your health matters and offer a free 15 minute joint and spinal check, without obligation.

Treatment: If the cause of the cramps is known it may be possible to treat the underlying cause, e.g. giving muscle relaxants where the cramp is due to liver disease. Where the cause is unknown usually exercise and pain killers are recommended. Exercising the affected muscles can help to ease most cases of leg cramp. Exercise in the day can help reduce the regularity and severity of night time cramping. Prevention: Stretching the affected muscles regularly may help prevent cramps or reduce their frequency. Stretching the calves before bedtime may help relieve night cramps. Stretching after exercise is generally recommended as good practice.

Local History - Part 53

Mike Laslett

Blue Plaques

To discover those people who have played an important part in the history of your area, you may look for commemorative plaques. These are usually glazed blue and known as “Blue Plaques,” but some are stone.

Rudyard Kipling is commemorated by this plaque located on The Green. Kipling arrived at Rottingdean in 1897 to stay with his aunt and the rest of the BurneJones family for six months. His cousin Stanley Baldwin married Lucy Ridsdale, whose family owned The Dene on the south side of The Green. So, surrounded by family, he chose to remain in Rottingdean, renting the Elms on the north side of The Green for 3 guineas a week. By then, Kipling had come to be regarded as the People's Laureate and the poet of Empire. He produced some of his most memorable poems and stories in Rottingdean, including Kim, the Just So Stories and the poem Recessional. He was such a celebrity that sightseers would peer into his home and his garden from the tops of buses. With the growing lack of privacy and the death of his eldest child, Kipling reluctantly moved to the seclusion of Bateman’s at Burwash in 1902.

The Copper family is commemorated by this plaque located on the cottages opposite Bazehill Road. Originally working on farms in Rottingdean and Saltdean, they became internationally famous for singing folk songs which had been in their family for centuries. Moving into central Brighton, this plaque is on the concourse of Brighton Station. John Saxby invented the interlocking system of points and signals which is still the basis of signalling today. However he does have a close connection with Rottingdean, as many of his family are buried in the churchyard, including William Saxby, a tenant farmer. Why not take a stroll around the beautiful Regency architecture of Sussex Square and Lewes Crescent in Kemp Town to see how many plaques you can spot? These include Thomas Cubitt and Thomas Kemp (Kemp Town builder and developer respectively) Antony Dale (historian) Roedean School (founded here) Lord Russell (twice Prime Minister) and Lewis Carroll, who wrote Alice in Wonderland. In Chichester Terrace you may spot Richard Adinsell, who composed the Warsaw Concerto for the film ‘Dangerous Moonlight.’ If you have the energy you may complete your stroll along Marine Drive towards Brighton where you will see a newly erected plaque in memory of Dora Bryan at Clarges, which was once a hotel owned by her and husband Bobby.

The White Rooms Beauty Therapy Saltdean Lido Est 2003

Sir Edward Burne Jones is commemorated by this plaque located on his home opposite the Green. A leading member of the Pre Raphaelite group, he had a family home in Fulham and this was his Sussex summer retreat. If you have a local article to publish email info@deansmagazine.co.uk

Local History Feature

Brighton lifeboats A short monthly series on their history Part Seven - The change to motor driven vessels. 1920â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s - 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s After the impetus given by the first of three brilliant designers - G L Watson initially, followed by J R Barnett and in later years Richard Oakley it was clear that moving on from a hundred years of pulling lifeboats to something faster and more capable was overdue. Around 1900 and later there were many steam vessels, mainly tugs, in use and six steam lifeboats [as described earlier ] were built, tried, tested and passed over in favour of the rapidly developing petrol engines. Initially single engines were retro fitted as auxiliary engines to pulling boats, in some cases with very mixed crew reactions, but slowly as reliability improved and their worth was proved it became obvious this was the way forward. Change came remarkably quickly and by the RNLI's Centenary in 1924 one fifth of the operational boats were equipped with single engines although most were still pulling and sailing vessels. The first twin engined vessel totally reliant on mechanical power was the 60ft, 40ton Barnett launched in 1923. The effect on the lifeboat service of motor vessels was quite dramatic. It was calculated that two motor vessels did the work of five pulling boats. They could operate in worse conditions, stay at sea for longer and protected their crews much better. Against this the boats were much more expensive, larger and heavier so required rebuilt boathouses and slipways. They also required a paid full time mechanic. Overall the result was fewer stations were required while still maintaining adequate coverage, casualties were reached much quicker and rescues were being carried out in conditions well beyond the capability of pulling vessels. With the exception of the steam vessels all boats were still being built of wood, most at the Thomas Ironworks [!] in Poplar. This firm had built some 160 boats for the RNLI but closed down in 1912. Luckily an emergent firm, S E Saunders of East Cowes, was found to take over the work. This same firm in later years also became famous for building aircraft under the name Saunders-Roe. After this change an attempt was made to standardise lifeboats where possible, itself a difficult task as a wider range of designs were being thought up to cover more specific requirements. However many of the next generation were around 40ft x 12ft in size, with an engine of about 50hp and known as the Watson class. So how did all this effect the Brighton boats of which two pulling vessels - the John Whittingham and the William Wallis - were still in service ? The Town Lifeboat the John Whittingham remained on service until 1932 but no details remain of her services after 1904. The William Wallis did carry out many excellent services between 1920 and 1931 often with the assistance of the Newhaven motor lifeboat the "Sir Fitzroy Clayton" There were several services to local vessels but in September 1923 the "SS Excellent" of Boulogne got into difficulties about a mile off Brighton when she lost her propeller in a fierce SW gale. The William Wallis launched at 03.30hrs with great difficulty but the Newhaven boat managed to get all 21crew off before the vessel came ashore near Seaford. News arrived early on the morning of May 1st 1926 that the racing yacht "Iris II" was in difficulty in rough seas off Shoreham. Shoreham Lifeboat station had recently been closed due to the silting up of the harbour entrance. William Wallis launched but the yacht managed to recover and continue unaided. In 1928 the RNLI Committee of Management decided to award Centenary vellums to all lifeboat stations that had completed 100 years of Service and one of the first stations to receive one was Brighton. It was presented at a ceremony on 30th June 1928 to the Mayor of Brighton with a copy going to the Mayor of Hove.

During 1929 the heavy silting up of Shoreham harbour entrance cleared and the Shoreham Station was re-opened with the 40ft Watson class motor lifeboat "Samuel Oakes" on station. With the Shoreham boat back on station and the motor lifeboat "Sir Fitzroy Clayton" based in Newhaven the Committee of Management, at a meeting on 18th June 1931 decided to close the Brighton Lifeboat Station. Brighton Lifeboat Station remained closed for over three decades until the first of a new breed of Lifeboats appeared - the ILB or Inshore Lifeboat. At the time this was an innovative new design of lightweight, portable and inflatable boats using small outboard engines which were being used initially around various surfing areas in the southern hemisphere. More of these in the next edition. During the 1930-40 era an intense programme of mechanisation had taken place. So successful had this been that by 1940 only fifteen pulling and sailing boats were still on active service. Unlike the first world war when invasion was only a distant threat, during the second war the threat was very real and with the war on our doorstep the conditions for lifeboat crews, as for everyone else, were greatly increased. All the same situations existed, black-outs, shortages of personnel and facilities,etc. but because the war technology had improved the dangers had escalated and this time there were large numbers of uncharted, unidentified wrecks along the coastlines. Very soon came the events leading up to the Dunkirk evacuation of the British Expeditionary force and the RNLI was asked to send as many vessels as possible to assist. Eighteen stations, nineteen boats in total, between Shoreham and Gorleston in Norfolk responded with one east coast vessel the "Lucy Lavers" of Aldeburgh being launched for France on it's maiden voyage. First across were the Ramsgate and Margate and first to be picked up were 50 Highlanders. These vessels and their exploits deserve a book on their own and fortunately much has been documented and their bravery and dedication recorded.

Neighbourhood Watch

Spare a little time for a big venture There has been a Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) Scheme in Saltdean for 30 years followed closely by Rottingdean and then Ovingdean. The crime rate in these areas, compared to others, we are pleased to say is very low and the Police agree that being a NHW area has contributed greatly to this. NHW is not run by the Police or the Council but by a small committee of volunteers who live in the area and who work to make the community a safer and happier place to live. We do however work closely with the Police. NHW works effectively through having volunteer Contact Co-ordinators in roads in the three villages. The role is not an onerous one and takes very little time once established. A number of our long term Co-ordinators, because of ill health and age related reasons, are having to give up their posts. In order for the Schemes to continue in their roads, and their good work to carry on, we need to seek replacements as soon as we can. With the changes happening with the Police, particularly Neighbourhood Policing, the role of Neighbourhood Watch becomes even more important in helping to keep our community safe and secure.

Can you please help us ensure NHW continues to be successful? The following roads require replacement co-ordinators urgently, please contact us even if you feel you can only take on part of the road. Saltdean: 1) Perry Hill 2) Coombe Vale 3) Bevendean Avenue (both East and West Saltdean) Rottingdean: Founthill Road Ovingdean: 1) Ainsworth Avenue (Part) 2) Dower Close 3) Ainsworth Close 4) Greenways Is there a NHW scheme in your road? Several other roads are without co-ordinators. Contact Secretary Linda Hood, 01273 306441 email: nhw.sro-sec@hotmail.co.uk to find out how you become part of a well established, successful NHW Group.

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 Event

Saltdean CAMEO English Barn Dance/Ceilidh Saturday October 22ⁿ� CAMEO stands for Come and Meet Each Other - and it's an initiative of St Martin's, Longridge Avenue, Saltdean. The idea is to organise light-hearted monthly Saturday evenings that bring our special community together, regardless of faith or no-faith, age, youth or anything really! Come as you are, is the message, and enjoy. What better way to meet each other than at a friendly dance event? And what better venue than at the physical centre of our community, St Nicholas Church hall? Can't dance? Don't worry. We have a brilliant professional folk dance caller called Laurel Swift who comes with her experienced community folk dance band. Not sure about folk dancing? The important thing is it's easy and inclusive - if you can walk and hold hands you can dance. No one is left on the sidelines who wants to join in. You can come alone, with family, a friend, a gang, you can be any age from babes in arms to teens, twenties, to as old as you like. If you aren't so sure you'll hit the floor this time, come to enjoy a drink, tap feet to some good old tunes (mainly English, some Irish or American). What's more, there's lots to watch... Most exciting for Sussex-lovers, the Sussex Steppers, led by Janet Keet-Black and Will Duke will be demonstrating their music and and footwork, dancing in 5minute slots through the evening and taking you on a magical local cultural history tour. Also, local girl Christa Tiney, recently won the UK championship line dance award in Blackpool and will give us a taste of her dance skills. So, come and cheer her on! Free soft drinks and nibbles. BYO alcohol and glasses. Time: 7pm-10.30, Saturday Oct 22, 2016 Ticket prices: ADULTS £8 12-18’s £4 FAMILY £18 (2 Adults 2 12-18’s) Unlimited accompanied under 12’s FREE Advance booking advised Contact number: 01273 309097 / Rob Upward Venue: St Nicholas Church Hall, Saltdean Vale, Saltdean, BN2 8HA Twitter: @saltdeanfolk FB: Saltdean Folk Email: saltdeanfolk@gmail.com

Rottingdean & Saltdean Lions

Lions update This month we look back at our busy summer season of fundraising and make an important request for volunteers to register their interest in helping us at future community events. Please don’t forget that this month sees the welcome return of our Murder Mystery Evening which this time will be at the Master Mariner, Brighton Marina, , on 8�� October. Please make contact soon if you would like to join us for this evening of intrigue with the never to be forgotten Dead Funny Company. Tickets are available now and cost £25 per person and include a three course meal. We hope you will be able to join in the fun. Also, on 16�� October we have our popular Sponsored Swim at Roedean School Pool. The swim is held annually to raise money for local charities. Groups, through entered teams of any size, raise funds by obtaining sponsorship with the proceeds being split between their own choice of charity or good cause and Lions’ charities; once again this year the Lions’ principal beneficiary will be Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice. Teams swim for one hour with the aim of swimming as many lengths as possible. Please make contact soon if you would like to enter a team as we already have quite a few teams entered. The deadline for entries is Friday 7�� October but we ask if you could notify us as soon as you can if it is your intention to enter. And next month on 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. 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. After another busy summer season for us, we are taking stock of our wide ranging fundraising activities. From our Fayre at Rottingdean Village Green, the annual Lions Gala at Saltdean Oval, our bar and barbeque at the Rottingdean Village Fair and of course the bar we provide for the Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford Lions Donkey Derby. These days mainly involve early starts and late finishes for the Lions involved. Putting up marquees and taking them down again at the end of the day needs helping hands, not forgetting setting up our barbecue, bar and the numerous games we lay on. And like everyone else, us Lions aren’t getting any younger. These activities, however, are very important to us as they raise a large proportion of the valuable funds for our service activities for local charities and community/Lions projects. We were, therefore, very pleased to receive help from members

of the Saltdean Residents Association (SRA) during the pull down of the Lions Gala in the Oval this year. On behalf of the Lions, I would like to thank the SRA for their assistance. For the longer term, we will soon be planning for our 2017 summer events. We realise that these days are much loved in the local community and we want to do our utmost to continue. We would, therefore, like to ask for volunteers to help us. For example, lightening the load at the end of a long day can make all the difference. Please make contact to let us know if you are interested and could spare a couple of hours. We will be pleased to contact you for help nearer the time as our events come up. Many thanks. If you would like more information on any of our services, fundraising activities, booking a team at our Sponsored Swim, expressing interest in our Murder Mystery Evening and/or the SlimShack Concert, also registering interest in helping us in the future please contact Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions on 08458 339617 or email at info@rottingdeanandsaltdeanlions.org.uk.

The Dressmaker

(Cert 12a)

Tuesday 18th October If you were to read a brief synopsis of The Dressmaker, you might read: “A glamorous woman returns to her small town in rural Australia. With her sewing machine and haute couture style, she transforms the women and exacts revenge on those who did her wrong”…

And aside from making the woman in question, Kate Winslet (‘A Little Chaos’ ‘Titanic’), sound like a crossdressing Clint Eastwood (and that might tax the imagination), there is nothing wrong with this description; except that it falls short. So, I’ll try: ‘A glamorous woman returns to her small town with hilarious results’ - no, not even that. Perhaps: ‘A glamorous woman returns to her small town in Australia and rekindles an earlier romance’. No, that won’t do, either. OK, one last try: ‘A glamorous woman unravels a mystery that has dogged her for the whole of her adult life’. In fact, all they’re all serviceable; and that’s because ‘The Dressmaker’ is all of these. The trick of the film, and indeed its director, Jocelyne Moorhouse, is to make it coalesce. Moorhouse, an Australian, has four other directing credits to her name, including ‘Unconditional Love’ and ‘How to Make an American Quilt’ The whole is, however, greater than the parts and that’s down to Kate Winslet’s performance as Tilly Dunnage. Tilly returns home to rural Australia after spending time abroad developing her fashion designing skills. As a child she was sent to boarding school in Melbourne by Sergeant Farrat (Hugo Weaving), having been accused of murdering a boy who bullied her. Her mother, Molly - a great performance by Judy Davis - initially doesn't recognise Tilly, unconvinced that she's her daughter. Tilly transforms Molly’s house into a fashion factory, where she makes clothes for the women of the town. In the meantime, she becomes romantically involved with Teddy McSwiney (Liam Hemsworth) whom she has known since they were children. The town still hasn't forgiven Tilly for apparently killing the boy; and they believe she is cursed. Tilly sets out to exact revenge on those who did her wrong. Look out for the sequence when Tilly turns up to the local football game, poured into one of her posh frocks. The poor small town lads haven’t got a chance - they ain’t never seen nothing like Tilly before! Watch the dour, sober women of the town

transformed into supermodels; and the blissful farce when one of them has to make a hasty retreat, through a window, dressed in all her finery. There’s much to enjoy here with laugh out loud moments: a film that might make you laugh, cry and cheer all at the same time. STOP PRESS .. STOP PRESS .. DATE CHANGE The hall is having new kitchen and so ‘The Dressmaker’ will be Tuesday 18�� Oct., NOT the 25��. Doors: 7:00pm Film: 7:30pm. Join us next month as Helen Mirren, replete in battle fatigues, wrestles with the moral dilemmas of modern warfare in ‘Eye in the Sky’ (15), Tuesday 22ⁿ� Nov. Keep watching this space for details of Glyndebourne’s virtual performance in Saltdean! More to come. Jon

Local News

Local Stroke Club Just like most local organisations and clubs, we urgently need help... As social services facilities close due to financial cut-backs, the weekly club meetings become even more appreciated by people who have suffered from a stroke, especially those living alone. We meet at St Patrick's RC Church , Cowley Drive, Woodingdean on most Friday's from noon to 3pm, going out once a month for a pub lunch. We have our own mini-bus and can provide transport to and from the club and for our outings. The weekly meetings at Woodingdean include a simple lunch, gentle exercise to music and a raffle plus either a talk, quiz, craftwork, games or an entertainment.

There are many opportunities for people able to volunteer with a variety of skills and any/help, however small, would ease the burden that is carried by our current volunteers. We are also currently in need of an overall 'organiser' who could take responsibility for arranging the programme of activities at our weekly get-togethers. If you are interested and would like more information please contact me on: 01273 303236. David Hunt

Royal British Legion Women’s Section As mentioned in last month’s edition of The Deans Magazine, we can now bring you more details on the RBL Women’s Section Rottingdean Apart from the annual high profile Act of Remembrance which we supported every year, the RBL Women’s Section also worked independently to safeguard the interests of widows, families of service men and women and also the education of children of service personnel where no other finances were available. The Women’s Section members have augmented and widened the activities of the Royal British Legion since 1921, giving their time and skills raising funds, planning coffee mornings and raffles; and most importantly collecting for the annual Poppy Appeal: all on a voluntary basis. A unilateral decision was made by the RBL, Board of Trustees, that as from 1 October 2016 the RBL Women’s Section would be reduced to a

‘district’ within the framework of the RBL, whilst at the same time removing our representative member from the Board. There had been no previous dialog with the Women’s Section prior to this decision being made. The dictatorial attitude adopted has not gone down well with the ladies. Sadly the decision has been made: up and down the country Branches are closing. It is with a heavy heart that Rottingdean Branch is one of them. We have been in the village for 84 years (formed in 1932). So on 30 September 2016 we will have said farewell – we still say it with pride, remembering all the good work which we, and our predecessors, have achieved over those years – well done ladies.

Beacon Hill

Friends of Beacon Hill Nature Reserve The Rottingdean Fair was an amazing success with all 15 of our handmade bird boxes sponsored for the coming year. We also managed to raise funds to repair some of the existing benches along with erecting new seating.

We have spent the summer attempting to rid the nature reserve of the dreaded ragwort. This has proved to be an enormous task given the increased number of plants we have seen. The golf course is now completely cleared and we also tackled one whole section on the North/East side. Back breaking work but a huge thank you to all the volunteers for their continued efforts. We also re-erected the old, fallen information post along with new posts which were initially used to advise about the skylarks and will be continually changing through the year.

We have had to change our workdays to the 2nd Wednesday and 4th Friday of the month. We will also be holding our quarterly Weekender on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th October. Upcoming dates are October 7, 8, 12, 28, November 9, 25, December 14, 23.

As summer comes to a close we will be focusing on tackling the ever creeping scrub, continuing maintenance to the woodland paths and erecting bird boxes.

The sheep are arriving earlier this year is an attempt to see better grazing results. Previously they arrived in December when, following a battering by the elements, areas of the grass had fallen over and become quite unpalatable to the sheep leaving a thick litter layer in places. By bringing them on earlier when the grass is still lush, they will do a much better job of grazing it down and hopefully enable more of the delicate wild flowers to push through for a better show.

New volunteers are always welcome to join us, meeting 10.00 at Longhill Road, Ovingdean, entrance to the Nature Reserve. Tools are provided but please wear study shoes/boots/gloves. If you would like further information we can be found at :-

Rottingdean Place Courtyard

The original buildings in Rottingdean Place were built in 1912 as the St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home for Female Penitents. The Home was run by the nuns of the Community of the Blessed Virgin whose original premises had been in Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square and Wykeham Terrace in Brighton.

In 1974 the Community moved again to Rottingdean village, and a decade later the building they left on the edge of the South Downs was developed into the residential accommodation now known as Rottingdean Place. Rottingdean Place today consists of luxury apartments and houses which retain much of the architecture of the original building but with many fantastic new facilities. The whole estate was created ca. 30 years ago and lies within the South Downs National Park, covering an area of ca. 17 acres. The grounds of the estate include downland and woodland walks, an orchard and formal gardens. Amenities include an indoor heated swimming pool complex with sauna and small gym, a tennis court, barbecue areas, a golf driving range, heated wooden gazebo, allocated underground parking and a car-cleaning area. Rottingdean Place is managed by a full-time, on-site estate manager under the direction of the Board of Directors of Rottingdean Place Management Company Limited. Each owner of a property on the estate is a shareholder of the company and the directors are elected by their fellow shareholders.
