Welcome

Welcome to the September Edition This month’s cover by Colette Langton is of West Saltdean and includes part of Saltdean United Football Club, who we will be seeing regularly in the magazine from now on with their list of fixtures , see page 34. I enjoy reading the Clifden House articles (page 11) they remind us that life can still go on and be fulfilling despite the adversities often attendant upon us as we get older, this month’s is an especially heart warming story, well worth a couple of minutes of your time. On page 57 there is an article about a father and son team who went all the way to Thailand to help dogs in need, well done to them, and if you feel you would also like to help these needy pups there is a link to the Soi Dog website on the page too.

Computer tips from Dolphin Computer Upgrades 108

Five ways to spot a bad email One of the most common ways of letting a virus into your computer is through clicking on a dodgy link in an email. So how can you tell if it is a malicious email or genuine? Check The Address: It can be tricky to spot the senders address, and the scammers will be banking on you not looking very closely. Like this email sent from HMRC – except it wasn’t. If you look closely at the address you will notice it is not genuine:

If you do need to get in touch with HMRC the actual web address is https://www.gov.uk/contact-hmrc which is significantly different from the contact address above. Check Who Is Named: Do you usually get addressed as “Dear Email User”? Or is there no reference to a name at all? A lot of malicious emails are sent in the hope of being opened and generic names are often a sign of a dodgy email. It is also worth checking how they sign off – is this different to what you would usually expect?

Check The Link’s Address: Do NOT click on the link, but hover your mouse over it to see where it would have taken you:

Check The Content: If the email is full of spelling mistakes, or looks like the rather dubious translation tool on Facebook has been used, then it’s likely to be a fake email:

Check Yourself: There have been a lot of malicious emails circulating recently that tell you that you have to click on the link because your parcel has been dispatched. If you have ordered something you can be easily fooled, so go though all the other check points as above – and if in doubt, contact the company in question but not by replying to the email! And finally, if your anti-virus does ask if you are sure you want to click that link it’s probably best not to.

Clifden House News

A Couple in Care Elderly Couple Remain Together Thanks To Daughter’s Determination Sue Kruse talks about the seemly insurmountable problem of trying to keep her loving parents living together when only one of them needs specialist dementia care. Marjorie, 94, and Arthur Oakins, 96, from Kent, met when Marjorie was just 16 years old. Arthur was a proud season ticket holder for Charlton Athletics and continues to be a football fanatic. About 10 years ago the happy lives of Marjorie and Arthur Oakins began to unravel. Arthur started to get forgetful, put things in odd places and one day was sitting in the car - bewildered – Arthur couldn’t remember how to drive. The family suspected it was the early stages of dementia – and a diagnosis soon followed confirming this. Sue Kruse, their daughter, said: “Despite the diagnosis, Mum and Dad continued with their lives as best they could. My mum is a very loving person but as time trundled on she became poorly and was beginning to get somewhat exasperated by my Dad’s developing condition. “It was a very difficult time. We looked for assistance through all the usual channels but found limited help. We engaged private carers but even that became insufficient as Dad’ condition deteriorated.”

Dementia Care Centre in Seaford. This is when everything changed for the better.” Nial Joyce, Clifden House, said: “It is unusual to have a person who doesn’t have dementia residing in a dementia specialist home but in the circumstances it was more important that Marjorie and Arthur could remain together – as this is what they both wanted. We were willing to give it a go on trial basis, and see if Arthur and Marjorie were happy.” Arthur and Marjorie have now been living together in Clifden House for two years. They are both very contented. They will soon celebrate their 73�� wedding anniversary and are as committed to each other today as they were on their wedding day in 1945. Sue said: “I can honestly say that Mum and Dad are very happy at Clifden. My Mum has actually got back more of her confidence since living there with Dad. Clifden House has been totally amazing – for all of us. “We see mum and dad at least three times a week and both are always in good spirits. We are all so lucky to find Clifden House - I simply can’t say enough good things about them.” www.clifdenhouse.co.uk 01323 896460

Arthur needed full time care. Marjorie did not want to be separated from Arthur but there was no care home willing to take them in as a couple. The options were made clear - Arthur would be placed in a dementia wing of a care home and Marjorie, would be in a different floor or wing of the home. Sue said: “This was devastating for my mum. Mum was adamant, as were we, that after 70 plus years of being married they could not be separated. A double room was not going to be made available to Mum and Dad in any care home - and we visited several. It was becoming an impossible situation. We didn’t know what to do. Then we called Clifden House Marjorie and Arthur Oakins at Clifden House

Bridgeford’s Best Bites

Cervicogenic Headaches (From the neck) The concept of headaches originating from the neck was first described in 1860 and the term “cervicogenic headache” (CGH) was introduced in 1983. CGHs start from the upper neck near the base and of skull (occiput), as well as the anatomical structures innervated by the cervical nerve roots C1-C3. The headache often follows sudden neck movement or sustained awkward head positioning and is associated with tenderness of the tissues around the neck vertebrae. Anatomy: The neck typically has 7 vertebrae, which turn on facet joints, arched wing-like structures that stick out either side of the rear part of the vertebrae. They stop the vertebrae from bending and twisting too far and protect the spinal cord, the vital network of nerves running through the centre of each vertebra. Nerves exit the spine from the either side of spaces between two vertebral bodies, separated by an intervertebral disc. Intervertebral discs, complex fibro-cartilaginous structures that act as shock absorbers for daily activities separate the vertebrae. They are about 2.5cm in diameter and 5mm thick with a tough, fibrous outer membrane called the annulus fibrous, an elastic core inside called the nucleus pulposus and a cartilaginous endplate. The cells of these structures change as we age; starting as gel, fluid filled sacs in children and hardening to become less elastic and more prone to injury and degeneration with ageing producing pathological symptoms such as pain. Symptoms: There may be pain from sudden movement of the neck or from holding the neck in the same position for a long time. There is often restricted range of motion in the neck (stiffness), pain in the head, eye, neck, shoulder or arm on one side. There may be random arm pain that may also feel like nerve pain. CGH is a steady pain that can feel worse when you cough, sneeze or take a deep breath. Some of the symptoms can be similar to a migraine, including pain in your arm or shoulder, blurry vision and feeling sick or uncomfortable with bright lights and loud noise. Confusingly, some people can get CGH and migraine at the same time. Causes: There can be many causes of CGH. Problems in the neck vertebrae, particularly from job related long term postural issues, e.g. hairdressers, dentists, truck drivers and people who carry their heads in front of their bodies, putting extra weight on the neck and upper back, e.g. Texter’s neck. Falls, sports injuries, whiplash and arthritis that may cause compression in the neck vertebrae affecting the nerves even years later. More serious causes of CGH can be a tumour or fracture. Diagnosis: Because there are so many types and causes of headaches your doctor will ask you about your headaches, what you are doing when you get the pain and where it hurts; whether you have hit your head, have a rash or if it gets worse over time. You may need emergency care if your headache comes on very suddenly, is extremely painful or you start to feel dizzy. Thorough neurological and orthopaedic evaluation may be needed to determine the cause and X-rays, MRI and CT scans as well as nerve conduction and blood tests can rule out more serious issues. Medical history is taken, as well as reflexes and other neurological and orthopaedic tests; examination for strength and flexibility

by moving the neck and pressing on certain areas to see if it causes a headache. If a nerve block takes the pain away, the headache is probably caused by a problem in the nerves in the neck. Treatment: Medical interventions include anti-inflammatory and other pain relief medication, muscle relaxers, nerve blocks and rarely, surgery to release nerves. Physical therapy including massage, manipulation, stretching exercises, acupuncture, yoga, deep breathing and relaxation techniques. Prevention: Develop good postural habits and consider ergonomics, particularly how you sit at your desk, driving, on the couch when watching television or when using your phone or laptop. Yoga, deep breathing and relaxation techniques. Seek professional help after injury. Osteopathic/Manual Management: Take a detailed case history to understand the nature of the problem and surrounding issues. Examine the spine, neck and all areas leading to the site of pain; muscles, ligaments, nerves, fascia, etc., for movement, strength and functionality and assess motor nerve pathways. Consider the effect of the condition on the whole body. Perform orthopaedic and neurological tests. Treat to reduce any swelling, muscle tension and pain and improve joint alignment. Advice regarding specific strengthening and stretching exercises as well as postural/ lifestyle advice. 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.

Friends of Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Nature Reserve First things first and huge thanks goes out to all our friends and supporters for taking part in our fundraising efforts this year. The Ovingdean Green Festival, Quiz Night at Ovingdean Village Hall and The Rottingdean Village Fair were tremendously well supported by our loyal band of followers along with some newbies along the way. We have raised funds for 3 new picnic benches on the Nature Reserve and will also be helping RPC with replacing the new noticeboards. Hopefully the first bench will be erected by the end of September watch this space. The Nature Reserve is a remarkable place as given the extremely arid and hot summer our hardy downland plants seemed to thrive. Along with those listed in last month’s article our resident conservationist, Peter Whitcomb, has also reported Garden Asparagus, Wild Parsnip and Ploughman's Spikenard. Butterflies were in abundance this year. The full report will be detailed in the Beacon Hill Local Nature Reserve Report later this year but, as a teaser, Peter has reported seeing Small Heath, Common Blue, Meadow Brown, Gatekeeper, Clouded Yellow, Large White, Small Skipper, Marbled White, Small White, Peacock, Comma, Red Admiral and Speckled Wood. He was particularly pleased to see his first Adonis Blue since 2011, along with the return of Chalk Hill Blue, the first here since 2014. All in all a very pleasing summer on the hill. Following the break in the extreme dry weather in early August, we were able to return to step maintenance at the top end of North Wood (alongside Court Ord Path). We are now nearly halfway through this task, which will mean that the path will be accessible to all throughout the winter, rather than limited to those that enjoy risking life and limb manoeuvring up and down a muddy slope. Thanks again to Chris Allen for donating the fence posts for the steps. A date for your diary is The lntroduction to Scrub Bashing Weekend on Friday and Saturday 28/29 September. Two sessions each day 10:00 12:00 and 13:00-15:00. Come along to get stuck in.

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. If you would like further information we can be found at :E-mail : FOBeaconHill@gmail.com Telephone : 01273 983000 Facebook : www.facebook.com/beaconhillrottingdean

Rudyard Kipling’s Sussex Verse

Having travelled the world, Kipling and his family settled at The Elms in Rottingdean and Batemans in Burwash. At both homes Kipling wrote many poems about the county he loved. I’m sure you will enjoy reading them in full but here are some extracts to whet your appetite. Kipling’s parents courted at Lake Rudyard near Leek, Staffs, hence his unusual name. As his father was employed in India, young Rudyard was sent back to England where, after some unhappy spells, he became a boarder at The United Services College at Westward Ho! Here he was influenced by Cormel Price, the Headmaster, who became a lifelong friend and is buried in Rottingdean Churchyard. Rudyard Kipling followed his father into a journalistic career in India, later going to the States where he met his wife. Following an acrimonious dispute with his brotherin-law Beatty he returned home, first to Torquay, then to his aunt Georgiana Burne-Jones at Rottingdean, where he rented The Elms, until sightseers forced him to move to the more private location of Batemans at Burwash.

Sussex No tender-hearted garden crowns, No bosomed woods adorn Our blunt, bow-headed, whale-backed Downs, But gnarled and writhen thorn. We have no waters to delight Our broad and brookless vales -

The Elms, Rottingdean

Only the dewpond on the height Unfed that never fails – Clean of officious fence or hedge, Half-wild and wholly tame, The wise turf cloaks the white cliff edge, As when the Romans came. View of the Downs

41 Glory of The Garden Our England is a garden, And such gardens are not made By singing “Oh, how beautiful!” And sitting in the shade……

Very Many People 1926 They take our land to delight in, But their delight destroys. They flay the turf from the sheep-walk. They load the Denes with noise. Smugglers If you wake at midnight, And hear a horse’s feet, Don’t go drawing back the blind, Or looking in the street,……………….

Kipling Gardens, Rottingdean

The Run of the Downs The Weald is good, the Downs are bestI’ll give you the run of ‘em East to West.

Five and twenty ponies, Trotting through the dark – Brandy for the Parson, ‘Baccy for the Clerk; Laces for a lady, letters for a spy, And watch the wall my darling, While the Gentlemen go by!

Neighbourhood Watch

Identity Theft Your identity proves you really are you. Until it’s stolen! Your identity is one of your most precious possessions. Apart from defining you as an individual, it also proves that you really are you. As well as needing it for everyday tasks like buying online, banking and social networking, it is also essential for signing up for phone contracts, loans, mortgages and other finance… and without it, you can’t obtain driver’s licences, passports or other official documents. When a criminal steals your identity, they can claim that they really are you too – and do all of these things in your name. They can also sell on your identity to other criminals, and even commit criminal acts in your name. That’s why it’s vital to protect your identity against theft. Identity thieves most commonly work online, often taking advantage of the information you over-share on social media, or a weak email account password. However, they can also use printed documents that haven’t been shredded or securely filed. To safeguard your identity, start by following GSO’s simple, expert Top Tips: Never share account information with friends, family or other people. Be careful about the information you share on social media, such as date of birth and family/pets’ names you also use in your

passwords. Never post images of your passport, driver’s licence, NI number or other confidential items. Never divulge private information data in response to an email, text, letter, phone call or web form unless you’re certain that the request is authentic. Call to check on the number you know to be correct. Have up-to-date security software/apps running on your computer and mobile devices. Update software and apps when prompted. Choose strong passwords and keep them safe. Don’t use one password for more than one account. Take care when using public Wi-Fi hotspots: Your information may not be secure. Always beware - of people looking over your shoulder when you’re entering private information on a computer, mobile device, or ATM. Arrange for paperless bills and statements instead of printed ones. File sensitive documents securely, and shred those you no longer need – preferably with a cross-cut shredder. Get regular credit reports to check if anybody has taken out finance in your name. For more information on protecting your identity - Please visit www.getsafeonline.org, and click on ‘Protecting Yourself’ and then select ‘Preventing Identity Theft’

Cinema Saltdean

The Bromley Boys “In 1969, with England preparing for the defence of their World Cup crown and George Best delighting crowds with his virtuoso skills at Old Trafford, 15-year old Dave Roberts fell in love... head over heels in love… with his local non-league club Bromley FC. The Lillywhites were a team who had seen better days: crowds had dwindled to less than a hundred, players were turning up late, if at all, and the team were letting in so many goals that taunting opposition fans would lose count of the score. Dave Roberts was a loner in love with football. Finding it hard to fit in at school, he longs to be accepted into the inner sanctum of Bromley FC’s most loyal fans. These fans include Derek, Roy and Peter, three misfits with less influence at the club than they imagine. A chance meeting at a local cafe means Dave is welcomed into the fold but there’s a catch... he must lead the way in forcing current team manager Dick Ellis out. While enforcing a bungled one-man protest, Dave meets Ruby, the daughter of terrifying club Chairman Charlie McQueen.

Cert: PG

He just needs one thing to make it all better. A Bromley win on the last day of the season...” Synopsis kindly supplied by Itchyfish films, producers of ‘The Bromley Boys’. The film was released in cinemas on June 1st this year; and its world premiere was at Wembley Stadium on May 24��. Cinema Saltdean is pleased to announce that, after the screening, local star Brenock O’Connor (“Dave”, known for “Olly” in ‘Game of Thrones’), will be taking part in a Q&A session with Rebekah Whiteley, his former drama teacher from The Theatre Workshop www.thetheatreworkshop.com This screening is part of the Brighton 2018 Scalarama events, celebrating cinema across the UK, throughout the whole of September. https://scalarama.com Next month: after a democratic high-tech vote (using orange ping pong balls and buckets!) at our July screening of “Goodbye Christopher Robin”, our audience selected ‘Finding Your Feet’, starring Timothy Spall and Celia Imrie.

The awful season continues being lit up by brief moments of quality provided mainly by Dave’s hero and Bromley’s star player, Alan Stonebridge. During a search to ask ‘Stoney’ some questions for his scrapbook, Dave stumbles into the Chairman’s office and across a secret that will change Bromley Football Club forever. But before Dave can investigate further, he is interrupted by the Chairman’s daughter, and child genius, Ruby... a girl who appears to now have a twinkle in her eye for young Dave. What follows is a catalogue of hilarious attempts by Dave and his new friends to find out what’s going on at their beloved and astoundingly awful Bromley FC. To complicate matters Dave is sent to boarding school and subsequently expelled, he battles with his world-weary father, he starts at a comprehensive school and embarks on a seemingly sham relationship with the Chairman’s daughter, in order to infiltrate the club. A relationship that will lead him to a party at the Chairman’s house where Dave will learn the terrible truth... The final act finds Dave and his new friends thrust deep in to the biggest story in non-league football history. With furious club Chairman Charlie McQueen on the warpath, Dave must choose between his undying love for Bromley FC, the wishes of his parents, and his growing feelings for Ruby. Dave’s life is unravelling fast.

Saltdean Father and Son Help Thai Street Dogs PHUKET, THAILAND, July 31, 2018: Big-hearted David and Daniel Aitchison from Lenham Ave have travelled thousands of kilometres to help dogs – some found with horrific injuries or diseases – that have been rescued from the streets of Thailand, or from the vile Asian dog meat trade. Instead of just soaking up the sunshine on the fabled beaches of Phuket, Daniel and his father David have been working with the Soi Dog Foundation as volunteers. David explained how they got involved. “I discovered the Soi Dog foundation and the incredible story of how it was established in 2003 by John and Gill Dalley. I was inspired by the work being done to help the dogs and cats of Phuket and I promised myself that, when time allowed, volunteering would be my No 1 priority. “The opportunity came in early July this year and I made the journey accompanied by my 19-year-old son Daniel. We were not disappointed. Our time here in the company of the dogs and the great many new friends that we have made along the way has been rewarding beyond words.”

All the dogs, he says, are individuals “and you quickly learn their preferences and habits. Patience and perseverance is required, especially with the shy, quiet ones. “Another important part of our day is spending time in the enclosure socialising with our dogs. This is hugely rewarding as many of the shy dogs that that may have been wary of you when you first meet, get to know you, and trust and confidence builds – which is an essential part in the process of helping the dogs to find new permanent homes.” John Dalley, founder of the charity, said, “It’s wonderful having people like David and Daniel giving up their time to help us. “Although we have paid employees such as our veterinarians, we rely very much on volunteers to do much of the essential work. We are always most grateful for their generosity. We couldn’t do it without them.”

He explained that each day the volunteers gather at 9am to be given bags containing essential equipment for the day ahead, including leads and harnesses, a folder listing the individual dogs details, a daily walking log and a grooming brush. “As we approach the run we are enthusiastically greeted by the 23 dogs in our care. After a brief ‘Good morning’ to them, we start the walks. These are around 20 minutes, so its either twice around the lake or to the off-lead fields where the dogs can roam freely. “We repeat this until as many of the dogs in the run have been walked as is possible in the time we have. We fully appreciate that the walks are the highlight of the dogs’ day, so we always do our best to ensure that this is quality time.”

Beacon Hub Update The last few months have been fantastic in the fundraising department. Our official partnership with the South Downs National Authority (SDNPA) won us a £40k from their newly formed Trust back in May. This in turn opened up the opportunity to bid for a larger sum from Veolia under their leadership. We are hugely grateful to SDNPA for this game changing grant.

ask you to keep your fingers crossed for our Veolia funding application. Disabled access and a 35 capacity classroom are what we need o run our full education & Events programme and to improve the facilities we can provide to the local community. Sunny regards from the whole Beacon Hub Brighton Team

Huge thanks must also go to the wonderful ORPS run Ovingdean Green Festival for running a Pimms stall for us raising £255, and to Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery (Saltdean Tavern) for donating a whopping £500 from their blue token charity scheme & special events during their relaunch. We held our Summer Celebration with support from many wonderful local folk artists raising £718, and ran a ‘Message in a Bottle’ hook a duck style game and sold 2nd hand books at Rottingdean Village Fair raising a further £180.70. It’s been a scorcher for the volunteers who have run our community Cafe Kiosk and we have certainly made hay while the sun shone selling lots of freshly prepared toasted panini & ice creams to cover the running costs of the charity. We want to thank everyone who has supported Beacon Hub Eco-Education & Visitor Centre over the summer months and

The doggies did us proud, as we had the most successful dog show ever. There were 70 entries on the day. Congratulations to all involved. Also, the reintroduction of the tug-of-war competition was great fun and a tremendous success. On behalf of the Lions I would like to thank everyone involved in the Gala and all who came along to support and take part. We will have to do it all again next year. Please don’t forget on 20�� October, the Blind Veteran’s own band The White Stix will be performing for us at Rottingdean Village Hall, monies raised will be shared between Blind Veterans UK and the Lions with our half going to local charities and community/Lions projects.

more people use the scheme in the same household and confusion could occur.) Then you put the bottle in your fridge. You will also be given two green stickers. Put one green sticker on the outside of the fridge door and the other green sticker on the inside of your house door so the paramedics know there is a bottle in the fridge. If you would like more details please get in touch – see details below.

Lion Roger Bluff

Also, on 18�� November 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 would like to see as many teams as possible enter to support the charities and your chosen good cause. The deadline for entries is Friday 9�� November but we ask if you could notify us as soon as you can if it is your intention to enter. On the service front, the Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions supported Message in a Bottle initiative continues to be taken up widely. This scheme aims to provide easily found and vital information when it is needed most. A simple idea designed to encourage people to keep their basic personal and medical details on a standard form and in a common place – the fridge! This saves the emergency services valuable time if they need to enter a property in an urgent situation by both helping to establish your identity, and notify any special medication or allergies. While focused on more vulnerable people, the scheme can benefit anyone in the event of an accident or sudden illness at home. All you have to do is to complete a form with your name, medicines, allergies and relatives’ contact details and put the form in the bottle. (There is a space provided on the form to add a photo in cases where two or

Local Therapist & Local Group

Pain Therapist Penny Koster Myofascial Release - the gentle release of connective tissue, I have a beautiful log cabin in my garden where I work from, it is an incredibly relaxing and gentle space. I have been a therapist for many years, I have a lot of different qualifications and training, but the therapy I am most passionate about and know first‐hand works completely is myofascial release, Myo‐fascial is the connective tissue which joins everything together, covers everything, fills all the gaps holds you together, it has the memory of your life, it relays messages to your brain faster than the nervous System, every single thing that happens to you in your life whether it be good or bad is stored in your subconscious and your fascial system, The fascia is like a giant web made up of collagen, elastin and ground substance it covers you from top to toe with no orifices unlike your skin, it moves constantly within your body, it penetrates, covers, protects every organ, muscle, ligament, tendon, bones everything- we are fascia, scar tissue is damaged fascia that has gone hard and dehydrated, that is why generally women get more lower back problems then men because they have hysterectomies, C-sections and end up with fascia that is damaged, dehydrated and hard (scar tissue) so no longer moves and consequently pulls on areas like the lower back, fascia can become hardened dehydrated and stop moving and therefore cause problems, discomfort, pain, disease for many many different reasons I generally call it life. Another example because we are one complete unit everything is connected you could have a pain in your shoulder and the

pain could possibly originate in your lower back, or maybe your neck or both. Myofascial release is being called the missing link and I passionately believe this to be true, I believe in the not too distant future everyone will be having these treatments, The cause of discomfort, pain is the collagen layer of the fascia, this is the layer that has to be released from its stuck, dehydrated, no longer moving position! An Analogy if you step on a hosepipe the ﬂow is impaired. I am highly trained in myofascial release, I am trained to Body read to know where the problem is and then to un-stick it.. The whole world needs to know about this treatment! I feel very passionately that everyone should understand how it works, and as much as possible be able to do it to themselves and each other. There is no such thing as 'I have that pain because I'm getting old' No-one needs to have pain! Exceptions being if you break a leg or have an accident et cetera, I give these treatments which are extremely powerful but at the Same time very gentle, I also educate people so that they can self-care in the future and when they have a pain they understand why it's happening, and what they can do about it, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS TO BE IN PAIN. Everyone is different sometimes it takes longer than others, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! If you're interested in having a treatment and want to learn more about myofascial release and myself please go to: www.trigger-points.me.uk or phone me on 07951 117826

Deans Praise Group Come and join us! The Deans Praise Group started life in 2016. It grew out of local churches working and making music together for what is now an annual ecumenical service in January or February: we enjoyed the music making together part so much that we decided to continue to meet once a month. We take our inspiration from the Bible exhortation – ‘sing to the Lord a new song’. So we make music and sing for the joy of it - learning new songs (what may be a very familiar song to some may be totally unknown to others), working together across church boundaries and encouraging each other in our faith journeys. Sometimes we practise and learn songs for a special service in one of our local churches; but the focus is on singing pieces we enjoy and find inspirational, and sharing them with others. We always have refreshments and time for fellowship as part of the evening. Musicians and singers of all capabilities are very welcome – you really don’t have to have any special gifts or training. Several local churches are already

represented in the group but we’d love to draw in more: whether you worship regularly in a particular local church or whether you go further afield or even perhaps don’t go to church at all, if you love singing or making music, do think about coming along. In short, if you believe we’re ‘better together’ and want to join us or would like more information, then do get in touch with Phil Parsons (philparsonsofbrighton@gmail.com ) or me (contact details below). It’s an informal and friendly group and all really are very welcome. We generally meet at 8pm on the first Friday of the month at one of the local churches or, occasionally, in a home. Our next meetings are: Friday 7 September at St Martins United Reformed Church (Saltdean); and Friday 5 October at Holy Cross Church (Woodingdean). Phil and I look forward to hearing from you.

Rottingdean Show asks ‘It’s Clever but is it Art?’ It’s clever, but is it Art? is an exhibition of stone carvings and paintings by two local artists that will be showing at The Grange gallery in Rottingdean from 11-16 September. The exhibition’s title is taken from a poem by Rudyard Kipling, who lived near the gallery: and hopefully visitors will find the answer to the question is a resounding ‘Yes!’. The technical skills of letter-cutter Tracy Steel and painter Hannah Thompson are evident, as are their creative talents. Tracy’s stone carvings include a number of local references, alluding not only to Kipling, but also to Eric Gill and fellow typeface designer Edward Johnston, who worked in nearby Ditching; while Hannah’s bold, colourful paintings capture snapshots of people and scenes around the local area.

and at various music gigs. These sketches get worked up into bold, colourful paintings designed to invite you into the conversation between characters. Currently Hannah lives and works in Brighton, at times teaching but more recently doing painting commissions from her studio in Hove. Her versatility with painting techniques comes from a career as a scenic artist in theatre and television and has stood her in good sted for adapting styles and subjects for a variety of clients. Both artists have held exhibitions in the area in the past, but the new show will feature a collection of recent works shown for the first time.

Tracy Steel is a local stonemason, based in Woodingdean. She graduated with a degree in Fine Art and subsequently developed her passion for the ancient craft of stone carving through her work as resident artist letter-cutter at a monumental masonry in West Sussex. Stone offers an endless variety of textures and colours, but carving it demands precision and accuracy. Using just a hammer and chisel, Tracy adapts the shape and rhythm of her lettering to the message she wants to convey and the type of stone she is working with; fine and elegant for slate, big and bold for a coarse limestone or soft sandstone. Tracy enjoys the satisfaction of using Earth's most natural and durable material to express ideas and to create objects - whether they're purely decorative or have a functional purpose. Her portfolio includes unique conceptual art work for indoor spaces as well as a collection of garden features and house name signs. Hannah Thompson’s paintings try to capture a snapshot, a visual eavesdrop if you like. They start with small pen sketches in odd local ale houses, stops on slow bike rides along Brighton to Hove seafront
