Companies act over drivers BUSINESS owners in Bognor Regis are out to stop daredevil drivers racing around their industrial estate. THey are considering clubbing together to install speed humps on a key road around the Southern Cross site. THey have endured more than a year of dozens of drivers hurtling around the roads which surround their premises causing damage and creating piles of

litter. Representatives of six large companies on the estate around Steyning Way combined for the first time last week to meet the police and demand action. Paul Mathew, a director of Paul Mathew Transport, said: "Over the last 18 months, we have found glass under our trailers where the drivers have hit them.

"Fortunately for them, they caused damage to their car - which has cost them money - rather than damage to themselves, which is going to happen. "I know I am going to come in one morning and one of them will be stuck under a trailer. THat's not 'if', it's 'when'." Mr Mathew said he would approach businesses unable to attend the hourlong summit about contributing to the

cost of traffic calming measures on the one private road on the estate used by the drivers among its public roads. THe idea to pay for the humps was raised by Acopia's Giles Vos. He said: "For not a lot of investment, it would cure the problem once and for all. "We only need a few speed humps and

Pupils ensure homeless have food for winter by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 CARING students collected more than a tonne of food for homeless people around Bognor Regis and Chichester. Every child at THe Regis School donated a non-perishable food item to ensure the Stonepillow charity has plenty of supplies for the winter months. THe school in Westloats Lane also held a non-uniform day which applied to the senior members of staff as well. THey were challenged by the students, who came up with the idea for the food drive, to dress up for the occasion and voted for them to go in as characters from the movie, Despicable Me. THe food was collected, weighed and sorted by the school's rights respecting ambassadors, pictured above. THis included loading all 1,150kg of food on and off the school minibus. One of the ambassadors, Year 10 pupil Nicola Rodwell, said: "THe day was so motivational. It was great to know we were helping so many people who needed us." Fellow Year 10 student Johan KeijserPetch said: "It was great to see the unity

GENEROUS Bognor Regis gran Chris Worsley is making Christmas special for her neighbours. Chris, 66, cancelled her festive holiday when she heard some fellow residents at Benizi Court would be on their own during the festive period. She has pledged to make Christmas Day special for them at the Viridian Housing retirement home by cooking a full roast and all the trimmings. Chris will also treat them to Buck's Fizz on Christmas morning as well as an evening buffet along with games and karaoke. She said Christmas had been lonely since the death of her husband, David, and she had decided to get away for a break in Liverpool this year. "But I was talking to my neighbours and I realised that many of them were going

by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 CAMPAIGNERS have welcomed the postponement of a decision which could have sealed the fate of protected trees in Middleton. Arun District Council's planning officers agreed to remove an application for 13 houses on a former poultry farm west of Yapton Road from the agenda of Wednesday's meeting of the development control committee until a future meeting. THis is to allow more time for further reports to be prepared about the impact of the potential development on three trees at the site which are subject to tree preservation orders. Protesters, some of them pictured left, who feared the trees could be damaged by the development said they were pleased the council had responded to their calls to gather more information. More than 200 letters had been received by Arun objecting to the homes plan on

of the school collecting 1.1 tonnes of food for the homeless in West Sussex. "It makes me feel proud to belong to THe Regis School." Logan Rimmer-Woods, of Year 8, said: "It was an amazing experience to be part of organising our food drive as a rights respecting ambassador and to give food that we take for granted to those less fortunate." As well as collecting food, the students learnt about the causes and consequences of homelessness through tutor time activities. Assistant principal Caroline Saunders said: "Our food drives have become major events over the last few years, with students regularly collecting record-breaking amounts of food. "Our students really understand the difference their donations can make and are keen to take part. " THe day was part of the school's annual celebration of the Convention on the Rights of the Child when, as well as the food drive, all lessons were connected to the convention. THis helped the students to understand the role of child rights in improving lives of children worldwide. THe school holds the prestigious UNICEF rights respecting school level two award.

turn over a higher level of stock than at other times of the year. "THe additional storage space reduces the risk of the store running out of stock and consequently improves customer satisfaction. "As M&S is a key retailer in the locality, the proposed temporary facility is required operationally to meet our customer expectations and, in turn, contribute to enhancing the vitality and viability of the area." THe storage unit was not believed to cause any harm because of its location behind a store on a retail park, added Ms Mellon.

Homes plan for trees site on hold West Sussex County Council land. THe widespread protests were led by Louise Alger, the founder of the Silver Birch Action Group. She said: "I am glad the decision has been deferred because the officers agree they need to have more reports about the trees. THey had been recommending that the councillors on the committee should decide the plans without those reports. "If the decision was to approve the plans, the officers would then consider the reports and make a decision in private on December 20. We said that was not acceptable. THe decision, whatever it is, has to be made in the public domain because of the large number of letters that the Arun have received." Mrs Alger said she had sent the council expert information last September which showed the trees - two ash and a maple would be damaged if the current housing plans went ahead. She has also received a letter from Arun's chief executive, via MP Nick Gibb, which confirmed any prospect of damage to the

tree roots would see the proposals turned down. Arun's deferral came after an independent expert, Richard Martin, had told that more information had to be provided by the county council before the proposals could be considered. He wrote last week: "Having reassessed all of the information provided and investigated the sequence of events, I have concluded the (planning) agents have not provided sufficient information. "In my view...the proposals do not address the trees at the site entrance." He said the additional facts needed to be provided in three reports. One would be an arboricultural impact assessment with a schedule of trees to be kept and removed, the likely effects on them of building work, recommended mitigation measures and a tree retention plan. THe other details were a method statement report and a tree protection plan. Mrs Alger and her neighbours gained the trees' formal protection last year.

M&S wants extra space in Bognor Regis for Christmas ANNUAL planning approval is being sought by Marks & Spencer for a temporary storage container at its Bognor Regis site. THe company wants to place the 6048mm X 2448mm X 2591mm refrigerated container, with 15sq m of storage space, in the service yard of its Simply Food outlet on Shripney Road. M&S wants to use the container every year from November 1 to January 31. Laura Mellon, for M&S, says in its planning application: "During this time, M&S experience very high levels of demands for goods and, therefore,

to be alone. I know how difficult this time of year can be if you're on your own - so I decided to stay and have a big Christmas celebration at Benizi Court," she said. She hoped the events would give those who will be at the Clarence Road home someone to whom they can wish a Merry Christmas. "I hope we're really going to have a great time," she said. She admits life was pretty bleak after the loss of David following more than 40 years of marriage and just wanted to be on her own. But she realised this was damaging her life and described her move to Benizi Court as giving her a new lease of life. "I feel like a new person. I'm confident and I feel secure in myself," she added. Viridian has given Chris one of its Good Neighbour awards for her selflessness.

Hopes are high that deal to protect Pagham is close ` Students enjoy talk about space STUDENTS at a Bognor Regis school were encouraged to reach for the stars when they met a famous astronaut. THe pupils from THe Regis School had the chance to get close to Tim Peake at a conference about space. Nikki Manley, a science teacher at the school, said: "We were very excited to be chosen to take part in the conference. "THe pupils worked incredibly hard on their project and I am hoping attending this conference will inspire and motivate them to reach for the stars." Earlier this year, the school's pupils became space biologists and embarked on a voyage of discovery by growing seeds that had been aboard the International Space Station for six months. THeir success at comparing the seeds to those that had stayed on earth to led to their invitation to the conference in Portsmouth.

Norton Spit would be given within a few weeks. "I'm more hopeful now than I've ever been that we will be able to reach an agreement to get the work done," said Cllr Radmall. "We could reach that point this side of Christmas but it is likely to be just after. "If that is the case, then it's possible if we have the agreement of Natural England we could carry out the work next spring. "THat would need to be the subject of careful negotiation because of the migrating birds. "But all the elements needed to get the scheme approved are melding together.

have been involved in a host of negotiations about the matter. Formal plans for the work were submitted to Arun District Council in September 2015. But the need to overcome all the obstacles linked to the national, European and global legal protections for the nature reserve led to lengthy talks between the parish council and the bodies needed to approve the work - Arun, Natural England, the Environment Agency and the Marine Management Organisation. THe last sticking point has been the need for the parish council to agree to a 15-year funding programme to maintain the channel on top of the cost of the building work. "Work has been going on with the MMO for the past several weeks," said Cllr Radmall, "and it looks as though they are likely to reduce that term. "Our consultants have been in negotiations with them and Natural England and an agreement is possible. "If that occurs, then we hope Arun could then make a decision on our application. "It's been frustrating and very sad to have had little proper protection on our seafront for all this time. "It's been very upsetting for the people there who are seeing the sea almost coming up to their doors." Cllr Radmall and Pagham Yacht Club commodore Peter Atkins helped to move 70-80 tons of shingle recently to protect the vulnerable area outside the club.

Market's special treats SHOPPERS have been snapping up specialty treats for the final time this year on the Bognor Regis precinct. Market stall owners arrived on Tuesday to sell diverse and unique ranges of food, clothes and homeware from around the world not found anywhere else. Not only is an opportunity for the public to try something new, it is also an exciting chance for newcomers in the market trade. THis is the case for Daren and Lynda Pond, who have been running their chilli -themed stall for only ten weeks. While living in Prague they became involved with the healthy beef jerky manufacturers Just Jerky. Now they aim to make a name for the company, and themselves, within West Sussex. Daren spoke of his confidence in the market for his product. He said: "THis market is the perfect opportunity to introduce it to the public." Other stall owners also praised the speciality markets for providing a platform to sell their goods. Saba Nazar of the

Olives stall which specialises in Greek and Turkish foods said: "I have been coming here for two years. It's special because it's a market for everyone." It is not just food on offer at the market this week but a variety of other products such as clothes, bags and gifts. Bob Martin runs a stall that focuses on items which he buys direct from THailand. He explained why he was at his first specialty market in Bognor Regis. He said: "Normal weekly markets are not so good for what I sell. THese international markets are great for what I have on offer. THis is also a perfect time with Christmas coming up!" THis week's specialty market is Christmas-themed. At the weekend Father Christmas will be paying it a visit. On both days children will be able to meet him in the London Road precinct for a free storytime. He will be there at 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm to ensure as many lucky children can see him as possible!

Call made for theatre talks A CHALLENGE has been issued by the man who helped to save the Bognor Regis theatre for the current occupiers to talk to a regeneration company. Town councillor Jan Cosgrove said he was dismayed Arun Arts at the Regis Centre did not appear interested in helping the town. He called for the charity's representatives to meet the Sir Richard Hotham Project to discuss its £80m which includes demolishing the centre and its 350-seat Alexandra THeatre. If the two parties got together, it could create an imaginative result for the economic and cultural future of Bognor Regis. "Otherwise, not for the first time, Bognor Regis faces the prospect of missing a huge regeneration opportunity," he said. As reported, Arun Arts' chairwoman Hazel Latus has formally said the charity is opposed to the Sir Richard Hotham Project's scheme because its trustees did not consider the 1,100-seat venue proposed would serve their interests. But Cllr Cosgrove said the proposals were for a commercial and nonsubsidised venue which was separate from existing amateur/community Alexandra THeatre. He understood offers by the Sir Richard Hotham Project to accommodate Arun Arts in the new development had been unsuccessful. "As someone who mis-spent his youth in an amateur theatre with a professional venue just down the road, I sympathise

Colleges begin talks to merge MERGER talks are underway between Chichester College and Central Sussex College. Chichester College has a small centre in Bognor Regis and a large number of students from the town. Any combination of the colleges has the potential to benefit thousands of students across the south east of England and create the largest college group in Sussex. THe leaders of both colleges believe there are synergies and opportunities to explore about the benefits of coming together but discussions are still in their early stages. Shelagh Legrave, the principal and chief executive officer of Chichester College, and her counterpart at Central Sussex College, Sarah Wright, said in a joint statement: "We believe that a merger between our colleges will create opportunities around financial sustainability and ensure a diverse and employer-led curriculum to meet local business and community needs. "We remain committed to ensuring quality teaching and learning and believe that collaboration provides the opportunity to grow income, share costs and work in broader geographical areas." Chichester College has 15,000 students. More than 5,000 are full time. Central Sussex College has 18,000 students, of which 3,000 are full-time, at campuses in Crawley, Haywards Heath, East Grinstead (two) and Burgess Hill. Staff at both colleges were informed of

the potential merger in briefings on Monday. News of the discussions was made public the next day. At the same time, the Area-based Review for Sussex was published. THe review was prompted by the Department for Education last year which set out how the government would support a restructure of the post-16 education and training sector. Each review should establish the appropriate set of institutions to offer high quality provision based on the current and future needs of learners and employers within an area. THis would mean a move towards 'fewer, larger, more resilient and efficient colleges' with greater collaboration and financial stability. Chichester College was in the first wave of reviews which began a year ago. Its verdict on the college stated: "To remain standalone at this point but to explore the potential for partnership with (an)other college(s). "Chichester College is the largest college in Sussex. It has high quality provision and fully meets the financial benchmarks developed for area reviews. "While the college is capable of standing alone, governors recognise the additional value which would arise from merger or partnership with others both to share costs and to develop new income generation opportunities." THe review says Central Sussex should merge.

Police in search for prison absconder A POLICE search is underway for an absconder from Ford Prison. Malcolm Lall, 51, also known as Michael, failed to return to the prison on Monday, November 21, having been allowed temporary leave licence on the previous Friday. He is serving eight-and-a-half years for griev-

ous bodily harm and robbery offences in Brighton after he was convicted at Lewes Crown Court in December 2013. Lall is described at black, 5ft 8ins of proportionate build, with collar length black/greying hair. He also has several scars on his face and neck. Sighting of him to 999 quoting 1233 of 22/11.

with the desire to retain independence as an amateur set-up and that Sir Richard Hotham Project has to understand and take this on board." "But does Arun Arts want to play 'dogin-the-manger' here? THe 1,100 seater is nothing to do with the case for a small community/amateur theatre. "Does Ms Latus want to deny the town an iconic venture as proposed by the Sir Richard Hotham Project? "Frankly, Arun Arts does what it says on the box but that is in no way what the project proposes and my experience tells me the two concepts are not mutually exclusive," he said. "I would say to Ms Latus and her fellow trustees to a) meet with the Sir Richard Hotham Project and b) consult their members in order to see whether or not a solution can be agreed." But he said those behind the project also needed to recognise the legitimate wish of Arun Arts to continue to run as an independent and community theatre alongside their proposal for a vibrant, commercial venue. Cllr Cosgrove recalled how he stepped in and worked with the liquidator when Arun Arts, under previous trustees, was being wound up in 2005 with more than £350,000 debts. He arranged a rescue but saved the lease for the town not for Arun Arts alone. THis made it wrong for the charity to block a major professional entertainment site, for the town, he added.

From page one THe drivers would not be able to get over them at very high speed." THe private road was said by the businesses to be used as a 'drag strip' by the drivers racing side by side at speeds of 50mph-plus. West Sussex County Council area highways manager Ben Whiffen said the council would be open to the idea of privately funded speed humps on the road. He said: "We will still need to go through the legal procedure of advertising the proposed measures and seeking comments about them because they are on a highway used by the public. THey would then have to be approved." THe session was arranged last week by county and district Councillor Francis Oppler as a result of the businesses' concerns. He said: "We need to see a way forward. Everybody recognises there's a problem but also recognises there are limited resources to deal with it publicly." THe meeting was told up to 50 motorists had been using the estate as a race track nightly. Younger drivers arrived in the early evening before a late night meeting beyond 1.30am of 10-15 drivers took place. THey were aged into their 30s-40s and drove from Kent, Southampton and Portsmouth to join in. Inspector Marc Clothier, of Sussex Police, said had checked some of the motorists' vehicles for illegal modifications last month and at least one had been found. Further action would be taken but he added: "We will continue to police it but you are not going to get a massive influx of police because my resources are limited."

Ambulance site still in use as centre opens AMBULANCE crews are continuing to use their Bognor Regis base. THe town's ambulance station in Chichester Road is still housing paramedics ready to deal with medical emergencies as the search carries on for a new location in which they can wait for call-outs. South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust officially opened its new Make Ready Centre at Tangmere last week. THis acts as the focal point for its vehicles, equipment and crews in the surrounding area. It is complemented by a host of ambulance community response posts. THe Bognor Regis area will have two. But only one is in operation. An ambulance service spokesman said: "We currently have a Bognor North ambulance community response post at the Southern Cross Trading Estate and are using the (ambulance) station while we source a suitable and available location for a post in south Bognor." THe Make Ready Centre - one of five has been hailed as a big step forward in improving the way paramedics work. THe introduction of Make Ready means that the Trust does not require large stations in which to store equipment and restock and maintain vehicles. A phased opening saw the first crews begin to report to the new centre in August. Staff begin and end their shifts at the new centre and travel to the response posts.

THe new system minimises the risk of cross-infection, frees up front-line staff, who historically have cleaned and restocked ambulances, to spend more time treating patients, and keeps vehicles on the road for longer. Specially-trained operatives regularly deep-clean, re-stock and check vehicles for mechanical faults. Clive Burvill, the clinical operations manager for SECAmb, said: "We serve the same geographical area. But we are more efficient because everything is on site here. "It's better for the crews. It's all on site now. We can do all the servicing and MOT’s. THe crews concentrate purely on their clinical work." Staff can now attend meetings and take part in training sessions at the site, whereas before they often had to book conference rooms out instead. Mr Burvill said: "We didn't have learning facilities to accommodate training courses. Now we have got everything we need on site." THe changes had generally been popular with staff. "We have to move forward. THe crews are much happier. It's a win-win for us. "It's much better and it's much more cost efficient. THe other sites were leased and we were paying an endless amount of money," he said. THe site is also environmentally friendly with solar panels, sensor lighting and the use of rainwater to clean the vehicles.

Changes set for council tax INCREASES in the amount of council tax paid by the poorest residents around Bognor Regis are on their way. Councillors have agreed to cut the council tax reduction scheme which applied to those who struggle to pay the levy on households. Six options will be considered when Arun District Council's cabinet decides how the change is to be implemented. Its members' decision will be debated by all councillors before the change is due to take effect from next April 1. Public consultation into the matter generated 158 responses, of which 61 per cent were in favour of changes. Cllr Dudley Wensley, Arun's deputy leader, said: "Councillors will now

consider the options available and the information provided by the responses to the public consultation before making a decision on the council tax reduction." Arun is altering its system after the government reduced its support to the cost of the subsidised council tax payments in the past two years. THe options for the new scheme include making all working age applicants for the reduction pay at least £3.70 a week and cutting backdating to one month. THe council would consider methods - like spreading payments over a year - to ease the burden of the extra payments, added Cllr Wensley.

Labour members fight for schools FOUR-DAY weeks, staff shortages and bigger classes were among the predicted horror stories at a campaigning event for education around Bognor Regis. Some 12 of the town's Labour Party members gathered support for the Worthless? Funding campaign launched by the county's headteachers. THe heads say they are facing a funding crisis with a £40-200m shortfall a year compared to other UK regions. THey want a £20m temporary injection of money by next April to ensure their schools can continue to provide the best education possible. Bognor Regis mum-of-one Rachel Morris was among those in the London Road precinct last Saturday afternoon gathering signatures. She said the school which her daughter, aged six, attended could close one day a week next year to save cash, fail to replace staff and increase class sizes to cope with the lack of funds.

"THis is a very serious situation," said Rachel. "THe school is also looking at not buying any new books or IT. "THey can't keep running as they are. But not a lot of people might know about this and that is why we are here today to let as many people as possible know what is happening." One example of the funding shortfall around Bognor Regis was the lack of the £300 which Brighton and Hove schools received for each pupil who spoke English as a second language. "Our schools around here could do with this money as well," said Rachel. "Instead, there is this massive shortfall." Schools minister Nick Gibb has told the heads an extra £390m had been given to the more poorly funded school areas and this would be protected in future funding allocations. But this equals less than £10 a pupil locally. THe Labour members were also protesting against NHS privatisation.

Students oppose grammar schools

` Cake bake-off CAKES from around the world were baked at Felpham Community College's annual competition. THe International Bake-Off proved as popular as always. Staff and students created a large range of traditional cakes from nominated countries. THe student winners were Deryn Angel, and Sasha Mazantseva, both Year 8, and Leah Page made the best staff cake, pictured below. An action-packed International Week was staged at the college to live up to its billing as one of the favourite weeks of the year. Students and staff were encouraged to add a global dimension to their lessons as well as greeting each other in a language of their choice. Other activities through the week included a taster karate session with a sensei, salsa lessons and an international movie night. Matthieu Cauchy-Duval, the college's languages leader, said: "We want to raise awareness of the importance of learning a language in a multi-cultural society."

f Students with some of the Box Clever cast

Play puts pupils in charge of life SENIOR students at Felpham Community College were put in the driving seat during a road safety session. THe Year 12 and 13 pupils could influence the actions of a driver and his passenger, both aged 18 and in love. THey were shown by the actors of Box Clever how simple steps by the passenger would have kept the pair safe from their seemingly inevitable fate after they had started their journey. Headteacher Mark Anstiss said: "At Felpham we want all ensure all students are aware of the importance of road safety and that making the right choices is crucial. "Anyone who is learning to drive or getting in a car with a young driver, is potentially putting themselves and others at risk." Box Clever, is a touring theatre

company, which aims to reduce the number of young casualties killed or injured on the roads. THeir actors' performances provided the students with plenty to think about on the importance of road safety and the possible, and very real, dangers affecting young drivers and passengers. THe one-hour drama production was followed by a question and answer session based on the specific case study of the two teenagers. Year 11 student Harry Triggs said: "THe performance was aimed at our age group and was informative but in a fun way. It was really emotional and hard-hitting." Fellow Year 11 pupil Tara Lewry said: "Changing the ending of the performance and thinking about the consequences was good. It brought home the fact we are in charge of our own safety."

OPPOSITION to grammar schools was one of the views stated with passion by Felpham Community College with their counterparts from around the district. THe education policy promoted by the prime minister, THeresa May, was one of the hard-hitting subjects up for discussion at the Arun Youth Council debates. THe others included relaxing American gun laws and making the provision of parks statutory. Alyx Keen, a Year 10 student, said: "We particularly enjoyed the gun law and grammar school debates and that's where we voiced our strongest opinions. We don't want grammar schools." Isabella Saunders, Year 10, said: "THe debate event was really good and we were impressed with how much we were allowed to voice our opinions.

"THe Arun Youth Cabinet ran the event and they gave invaluable input as well as chairing us all." THe debates took place at the Arun Youth Centre and also involved THe Regis School as well as those from the east of the Arun district. THe Felpham students were joined by a history teacher, Dan O'Kane. Mark Anstiss, the college's headteacher, said: "Our student representatives who attended this event were a credit to the college with the enthusiasm and input they provided on the day and the mature and responsible way they projected their views." THe college took students' opinions seriously, he said. It had a student leadership team, a student council and a rights respecting school steering group.

Appliance of science is a memorable day SEATBELTS, stars and skewered balloons brought science to life for students at THe Regis School. THe school in Bognor Regis staged its first STEM festival for Year 7 students as part of its inaugural Memorable Moments event. THe festival saw all those pupils take part in a range of science, technology, engineering and maths activities intended to get them thinking about the subjects in a new way. Marie Harding, the school's head of careers, said: "THere is a huge deficit at the moment in students taking up science subjects. "We wanted to show our younger students what science is all about before they take up their exam options. "It's especially relevant for the girls because they might think engineering is all about getting oily and dirty. THey can have a go and see that's not the case. THe event was such a success we will be holding two more festivals like it next summer." Poppy Wallis, 12, had the chance to ponder the meaning of life. She said: "I enjoyed the pop-up planetarium because it felt like you were almost there. "THe galaxies are not something you think about in your day-to-day life but, when you do think about them, it's

interesting how they all happened." Kris Taps, 11, created a 30cm balloon through which he passed a sharp stick without it bursting. "Some people put tape on their balloons to stop them bursting and others couldn't put their sticks through the balloons," he said. "I like experimenting, mixing up stuff and working with Bunsen burners." For Timothy Felix, 11, it was a case of finding out how the police investigate road traffic accidents. He said: "It was interesting knowing how they can work out if someone in a car was wearing a seatbelt if it crashed and the clothes they had on if they were wearing one." Dylan Speight, 12, got a set of traffic lights working by correctly wiring them. "I want to become an electrician when I'm older. I like the fact that something so small like the electric wires can make a difference to so many people. "You have to get them exactly right to get the electricity to work," he said. Ben Simmonds, 12, said: "I enjoyed learning about the different things you don't really think about which help performances. "I went behind the scenes and saw all that it takes to put on a show." THe festival was supported by 20 firms

from around the area. One of them was Bognor Regis' URT Group. Kevin Emmett, a company director, said it was crucial for the country's sake to train more engineers and scientists. "THese students are our pipeline for the future. It's inspiring these youngsters to have a look at what's out there. "We are going to have a shortage in these skills in the next 20 years. Any pupils who want to learn them will find they have the pick of the jobs," he said. In all, more than 600 students took part in the Memorable Moments day. Visits included two London musicals, a day trip to France, a sustainability centre, volunteering at Mount Noddy RSPCA centre and a trip to Harry Potter Studios. THat those stayed in school were also treated to equally amazing experiences. Year 8 created a 'record breaking' art work and a pop music video, while Year 9 used recycled material and hosted a Trashion Show. For Year 10, they learnt first aid skills and wrote their CVs and those in Year 11 had free use of the school's sport facilities.

IT'S time to nominate young people around Bognor Regis for their brave or selfless actions. THe town's Rotary clubs are again staging the annual Arun Youth Community Awards and would like to hear about those aged 11-19 who deserve to be recognised. A spokesman said: "THese awards have become important in recognising the efforts and sacrifices made by young people in our area." Other categories include bravery, volunteering, raising money and doing well at school. Nominations have to be received by next January 31 for the presentation evening on March 22. More details at the Rotary Arun Youth Community Award website.

MAJOR companies have pledged their backing to boost the shopping centre of Bognor Regis. Big names such as Boots, Greggs, Wilkinson and New Look have signalled their support for a Business Improvement District for the area. Butlin's, Ladbrokes and the Picturedrome Cinema are also supportive and the University of Chichester is behind the plan as well. THe heavyweight has delighted town centre manager Toyubur Rahman as he works his way through the legal process required to create a BID. If it is approved, it will produce an expected £180,000 a year in extra business rates to be spent in the district. "It is good to see these big retailers being interested in the BID. Overall, they are very supportive and understand the need to do something like this. "THey know the town centre and if they want it to thrive they realise they have a part to play in that," said Mr Rahman. Some 40 businesses turned up to six workshops he held to explain the benefits of a BID for the town. It involves creating a small levy probably 1.5 per cent - on the business rates on commercial premises within a designated area. THe money created has to be spent in that area on projects the

businesses have agreed. Ideas produced at the workshops and an earlier survey by Mr Rahman could well become those which are adopted by the BID if it is approved. "THe perception of the town centre is the big thing that was raised. THere is an issue with crime and anti-social behaviour and the need to counter that. "THere was also a desire to improve the parking provision in the town. Calls were made for money to be spent improving the Fitzleet multi-storey car park. "If that was done, two-thirds of the parking problems in the town would be solved. It would effectively create more parking spaces because motorists would want to use it more often. "THe existing two-hour free parking there and two other car parks could also be funded to extend it to three or even four hours to encourage more people to shop in the town centre," Mr Rahman said. A more thriving nighttime economy was another desire on the companies' wish list. Mr Rahman is compiling a business plan for the BID to be put to the firms who have agreed to oversee its initial stages. Once this is approved, and the councils involved in his appointment agree, a date will be set for the poll to formally seek views to bring the district into being. Businesses in the designated area will be eligible to vote. THis is set to take place next spring. If the result is 'yes, the district will be created in April 2018 for five years.

Seasonal Seasonal fun fun at museum at museum VINTAGE festive fun was a Christmas cracker at Bognor Regis Museum. Its volunteers staged their third oldfashioned festive celebration to end the longest season the attraction has known. A turnout of 60 visitors on the first afternoon last Friday was followed by dozens more the next day before the museum closed for winter on Sunday. One of those who went along to recall childhood Christmases was Bognorian Deborah Lovett. THe 58-year-old of Plover Close said: "THis has brought back memories of Christmas decorations. "I love the museum. THere is a really good atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and there is a lot to look at." Father Christmas joined the regular volunteers for the special opening. Many of the displays were draped with tinsel. Some of its mock shop windows were also decorated to add to the atmosphere. Among them was Burgess' Bazaar with its range of old-fashioned toys as stocking

Visitors also had the chance to prise open a nut or two with the museum's oldfashioned nut crackers. Bognor Regis Local History Society chairman Greg Burt said: "We are really pleased with how our vintage Christmas opening has gone. It's all about showing the museum is a fun and interesting place. "We've had a great turnout and we've been busy in our shop. THis is the first time we've been open during November and we're pleased with the number of people we have had coming to see us. "We may well repeat it next year. We also hope to change the museum for 2017 so visitors will be able to see where we would like to put the town's surviving bathing hut."

Beauty and the Beast bring town lights to life

f The cast of Beauty and the Beast

by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 NEW Christmas lights are sparkling in Bognor Regis thanks to a special switch on. THe town is one of just two in Britain to benefit from the latest technology to ensure its festive illuminations look good whatever the weather. Only Brighton, along the coast, can boast the same technology for its decorations. THe use of the system on a free trial treated the hundreds of spectators who watched the panto stars of Beauty and the Beast join the town mayor, Cllr Pat Dillon for the countdown, to a spontaneous switch-on. All the decorations, also new for this year, instantly came to life above the London Road precinct and along the High Street, Station Road and London Road's northern section. Town council events officer Kirsten Fitzpatrick said: "THe switch on has gone well. "We are one of the few towns in the country to use this wireless system and it only took one press of a button to bring all the illuminations to life." THe system's manufacturer, Gala Lights owner Chris Stillem, said: "I'm very pleased with how the ceremony went. "What we have created is a wi-fi network where all the decorations talk to each other and go and off at the same time through GPS. "THey have been programmed to come on at the same time every day. But the town council has an app which means its officers can vary that according to the weather.

f The new lights shine above the precinct "If it's a really gloomy afternoon, they can easily make the lighting come on earlier. "THere are a couple of things to iron out but this method could be the future for street illuminations." Bognor Regis was chosen for the trial because its decorations are arranged in a cross formation and are the required distance of at least 50m apart from each other. "THere are also a lot of decorations in a compact area," he said. THe price of the new system was comparable to the traditional way. James Tyson, a director of Merlin Lighting, installed the illuminations. He said: "We're based in Barnham so Bognor Regis is our nearest town for Christmas lights and we want to help make them look as good as possible.

"In the past, we would have had a team of men up ladders switching on various sets of lights once the countdown had finished. THat's why the lights came on in stages." THe switch on took place on a stage at the junction of the High Street and London Road, with that section closed to all traffic. THat allowed some 500 people of all ages to fill the space between the stage and the shops. Ms Fitzpatrick said: "We've taken advantage of the new square created by the changes to the High Street and it has worked well for us. "THis has been the biggest occasion we've had in the six years I've been organising the switch on. "I've not seen a crowd of that size here before and I would say we have absolutely rocked the afternoon and evening."

Santa, snow and sounds at switch-on FIVE hours of entertainment saw Christmas officially start in Bognor Regis. THe afternoon of music and fun ensured a lively build up to the switch on of the town's impressive Christmas lights last Saturday. THe decorations are the first to be installed in a deal between Bognor Regis Town Council and Merlin Lighting after bad weather last year damaged some of the previous illuminations . THe seven gold and blue giant snowflakes above the London Road precinct bring a warm and distinctive feel to the lighting. THe High Street has six snowflakes and York Road one while Station Road and the northern section of London Road have bright white icicles. Queensway resident Rosie Walters, 39, said she was pleased to see the lighting brighten up the town centre again. "Living right in the town, it's lovely to see the lights back. It's worthwhile the council arranging for them every year. "THe event is lovely today. It's always very good for the switch on and it's great to have the Christmas workshop here because the children enjoy getting into it," she said. Her daughter, Ebony Walters, nine, said: "I'm enjoying making Santa Claus. I chose him because I think he is the best and he

will go with the Christmas decorations. I can make the other models at home. THe Children's Workshop UK stand offered children the chance to make either Father Christmas, an angel, a penguin, a Christmas tree and a snowman for free. Jess Carvill, who ran the attraction, said: "We've been really busy today after the first half hour. "I would say we've had 150-200 children come here, which is good for the winter." Outside, a succession of acts kept the crowd entertained. Noble Jacks were the headliners with their upbeat folky footstompin' rhythms. Others on stage were the Ultimate Gary Barlow Experience, Cheryl Craven and Anna Foye. Two-thirds of the precinct were filled with rides and two illuminated icicle queen stilt walkers provided plenty of interest. And fake snow machines above the precinct brought squeals of delight. One of those to be covered in the foam-type material was Beau Arnold, seven, of Victoria Drive. He said: "It was the first time I've seen the snow and I was excited to be covered in it."

` Gates will recall Lec's former site

f Panto performers delighted the crowd

LEC Refrigeration is to be remembered with a set of gates from its former Bognor Regis factory. THe gates once stood at the original entrance to the site off Shripney Road which employed up to 2,000 workers making fridges and freezers. Planning approval for the gates has been given by Arun District Council planning officer Simon Davis. He says in his report: "THe proposed installation will appear slightly at odds with the backdrop of Sainsbury's car park. "But it is important to have regard to the historic significance of the gates and the history of the site which the installation seeks to reflect. "THe structure is considered to be interesting and will be supported by flanking information boards." As reported, the tribute to Lec has been put forward by Dicentra Developments. THe gates will be sited just off Shripney Road next to the Sainsbury's access road. THey will be protected by a clear perspex screen. History boards about Lec will be on both sides. THe Lec factory shut in 2007 and Sainsbury's opened four years ago.

Offbeat version of Christmas is a hit

Lewis hits the target for centre A LATE goal by Lewis Pickering ensured Aldingbourne Country Centre won the cup in its annual open football tournament for adults with learning disabilities. His crisp volley from a corner from Christian Roberts gave the centre a 1-0 victory over Out THere West Sussex in a closely contested game. THe result was tough on Out THere who had dominated the match only to be repeatedly denied by the brilliance of Aldingbourne's keeper, Robert Fox. Scoring the winner made up for the disappointment of Pickering in missing out in the penalty shoot-out final to Out THere's Warren Time after more than 100 hopefuls had started the contest.

A county centre spokeswoman said: "Ten teams from around Sussex took part and enjoyed playing on the pristinely manicured turf at Arundel Castle Cricket Club. "THe true spirit of the game was on show for the full day with many great goals and lots of fun being had." Arundel's director of cricket, John Barclay, stepped in to accommodate the event because the centre was unable to host it due to site developments. THe tournament has grown since it began in 2010 and this year's also benefited from the help of Christ's Hospital pupils with warm up sessions and refereeing and Pagham CC's Mandy Burgess with the barbecue.

f Cranky panto fun in Yapton

EVERY seat was taken and children sat on the floor as panto got cranky in Yapton. THe special, rib-tickling one night only performance of A Lad in a Manger was a sell-out in Yapton and Ford Village Hall last Saturday. THere were two Dames, a lovable donkey, the Angel of the North and the child-hating but sweets-loving Herod to provide plenty of festive entertainment for the sizeable audience. Tim Bell, the press officer for St Mary's Church in Yapton, said: "It was the much-loved story of the birth of Jesus with an hilarious pantomime twist, but it kept the sensitivity." THe rector at the church, the Rev Stephen Hayes, played a very rustic and musical shepherd. THe cast also featured the Rev Bill Garlick as the evil king Herod, or Hairpiece to the rest of the cast. Other performers included David Rainer as Jo (Joseph), Lesley Vigar as Mary, Ben Taylor as the donkey, Aaron Morrissey as Widow Aggie and Rob Allison as Widow Kim the cleaners, and Pippa Richardson as the Angel of the North (Gabriel). THe choir of St Mary's Church provided the backings for the vocals. THe show was directed by Aaron Morrissey and Dean Holden, with musical direction by Tracey Hayes. Mark Taylor handled the sound and lighting.

On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed the “Miracle on the Hudson” when Captain “Sully” Sullenberger glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation. Sully also stars Aaron Eckhart as Sully's copilot, Jeff Skiles, and Oscar nominee Laura Linney as Sully's wife, Lorrie Sullenberger.

After a near-fatal car accident leaves Vinny “THe Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza, who shot to stardom after winning two world title fights, with a severed spine, he is told he may never walk again. Against all odds and doctor’s orders, renowned trainer Kevin Rooney agrees to help Vinny return to the ring just a year after the accident for what could be the last fight of his life in the incredible true story of one of the most inspiring and unlikely comebacks in sports history.

To promote your event email Fiona Callingham at: entertainment@sussexpost.co.uk or phone: 01243 908506 The cast of Mr Popper's Penguins

December 7-11 Minerva Theatre, Chichester box.office@cft.org.uk 01243 781312 www.cft.org.uk FOR the perfect family outing this month (that isn’t a pantomime) look no further than this quaint and adorable production of Mr Popper’s Penguins at the Minerva THeatre. Seemingly ordinary Mr Popper works as a painter and decorator but secretly he dreams of Antarctic adventures. His life is then turned upside-down when a crate arrives on his doorstep, from out which waddles a penguin! Mr Popper must learn how to look after his new friend and try to avoid chaos at all costs.

THe situation begins to escalate when even more penguins totter into Mr Popper's life! How will he manage to provide the penguins with everything they need, and will his dreams of adventures in the South Pole ever be realised? THis new musical production is based on the popular 1938 children’s book by Richard and Florence Atwater of the same name. In 2011 a film adaptation of Mr Popper’s Penguins starring Jim Carrey was released grossing $187 at the box office. THe stage version also looks to be highly popular and it is playing at various theatres before reaching the Criterion THeatre in London. Tickets are priced between £10.50£15.

Arthur Christmas December 10 Connaught Theatre, Worthing 01903 206206 www.worthingtheatres.co.uk THE Connaught THeatre in Worthing always carefully selects its programme for its popular Saturday Morning Pictures slot. THeir choice for December 10 is no exception. To get us all in the mood for the festive season they are screening the 2011 animated film Arthur Christmas. Santa Claus and his helpers are brought into the modern world to show audiences what Christmas is like for everyone behind the scenes at the North Pole. Specifically we get to meet Santa's family; his wife Margaret (voiced by Imelda Staunton), his eldest son Steve (Hugh Laurie), his dad (Malcolm) and most importantly his younger son Arthur (James McAvoy).

The Santas get ready to sprint and stroll

"Catch this festive family treat before it goes to London!"

Vienna Festival Ballet's Vienna Snow Festival WhiteBallet's Snow White

Arthur spends his days devotedly answering all of Santa's letters while his older brother Steve plays a more prominent role in the present delivering missions. However, when this goes wrong one Christmas Eve it's up to Arthur and the rest of his family, along with the help of a few elves, to put everything right again! Created by Aardman Animations, the studio behind the beloved Wallace and Gromit films, Arthur Christmas met critical and public acclaim upon its release and has since become a staple of family viewing around this time of year. Part of its success is its inspiring story of family members coming together at a time of crisis. THrow in some wonderful voice talents and plenty of Christmas characters, and the result is the thoroughly enjoyable Arthur Christmas. Tickets are all priced at £2.50.

December 11 Weald and Downland Museum, Singleton office@wealddown.co.uk 01243 811348 www.wealddown.co.uk HAVING proved a successful fundraiser over the past few years the Santa Sprint and Stroll at the Weald and Downland is back! Always a great place to find unique, enjoyable experiences, the museum is lending its beautiful grounds for this

charitable and festive day out. THe energetic event aims to raise as much money and awareness as possible for the vital work of St Wilfrid's Hospice in Chichester. Although there is a fee to take part, it is also important to collect as much sponsorship money as you can! Choose between the sprint or stroll - either way clad as Santa Claus himself. If you're feeling especially energetic why not try the sprint? It will take you on a 5k off-road run

along undulating paths around the museum. THe stroll is more suitable for families, including youngsters and even dogs,as it is a more leisurely one mile distance. Entry is £15 for adults, £5 for children aged 5-15 years. Children under 4 years go free. THere are free Santa outfits for all taking part, and free goodie bags for children. THe deadline for registration is today, but if you're too late you can still support others taking part!

Jack and the Beanstalk

THE Vienna Festival Ballet company are coming to Bognor Regis for one night only to perform their magical production of Snow White. THis world premiere will bring the wellknown Grimm’s fairytale to the stage in an exciting and entertaining new adaptation. Follow the story of the beautiful Snow White told through the equally beautiful form of ballet. Watch as her dreams of discovering her Prince Charming come true with the help of seven lovable dwarves.

Founded in 1980 the Vienna Festival Ballet company strives to make ballet an accessible form of dance for all to enjoy. THey aim to bring classical ballet to the UK nationwide at affordable prices in order to encourage its appreciation and popularity. THey tour every year for eight months performing shows from their vast repertoire that includes famous ballets such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker.

For ballet enthusiasts and new-comers alike this show promised to enchant and entertain its audience. Tickets range from £12-£19.

IT is almost impossible to find a story more synonymous with Christmas than that of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. THe Chichester Players are bringing the timeless tale to the stage in their production held at the Chichester Cinema at New Park. Over four days audiences will have the chance to support the local acting troupe as they take on the well-known story of Ebenezer Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. Charles Dickens' famous story is the ultimate tale of family, friendship, Christmas spirit, and redemption.

The Chichester Players will bring Scrooge to life

Although the venue is the main hall at the Chichester Cinema, it is a live production, rather than a film and will include a mixture of traditional carols and original material written by Sue Hyland. THis is actually a revival for the company, as it was first performed by the Chichester Players in the same venue twenty two years ago. THe company hope it will prove as popular as it did then. Since their infancy in the 1970s the Chichester Players have continued to thrive, and perform between two to four full productions every year at the New Park Centre. With their sights now on the classic Victorian tale the Chichester Players invite you all to share in this heart-warming Christmas story that all ages can enjoy. Tickets cost £7 for under 18 yearolds and £9 for adults.

"Remember the true message of Christmas with this classic story."

artists with chronic illness or recurring bouts of poor mental health are able to continue their Community Programme membership without worrying they will lose their place.

The Programme hosts a variety of creative activities in the Gallery’s Studio to suit all people's interests and needs. By focusing on individual creative interests rather than disability or other support It is also an opportunity for the Gallery’s visitors needs, the Programme’s work gives participants a and members of the local community to get to know departure from the assumptions and prejudices more about the Gallery’s offering to local people about disabilities that they often experience daily. whilst supporting its ongoing success.

Try the Tapas at Sensational Sen! THE 1st day of November -Autumn has arrived, so on such a dark, dull, chilly Monday evening it was with great pleasure that myself and a companion entered the cosy warmth of Sen, Restaurant and Tapas Bar. It’s like a little piece of the Mediterranean in the heart of Bognor Regis with it’s red themed walls, adorned with mosaics, guitars, bullfighters and fans. The premises is bigger than it seems a first glance with tables stretching back to the a very pleasant compact garden area with lighting and seating. We sat at the front and watched the world go by, at a table for two. We were keen to sample a variety of food from the extensive menu, and so a

selection of Tapas was an ideal way to do this. Tapas are small Spanish appetizers, which can be shared and enjoyed by many people, so a great choice if you are dining as a group, and wanting to try a little of everything. After a starter of taramasalata and warm bread to dip the main feast started to arrive- and it just kept on comingdish after dish of delicacies and delights. My companion is especially fond of Patatas ali-oli, mini roast potatoes with garlic mayonnaise- they made a great accompaniment to the various meat and fish dishes. We sampled the Gambas pil pil, delectable prawns cooked in olive oil with chili and garlic, Pollo Clive, cubes

of chicken breast in a tomato and a coriander chilli sauce, a warm and spicy dish, but not overpoweringly hot. The Chorizo al vino Blanco, spicy Spanish sausage sliced and sautéed with onions and white wine, and the pork loin, tender and sliced and served with a delicate tomato sauce. To accompany the various meat and fish dishes were mushrooms, fried with garlic, fresh herbs and white wine, and a very unusual spinach dish, comprising creamy luscious fresh creamed Spinach cooked with sultanas, onions, cream and mozzarella cheese. Each dish was steaming hot and served in small earthenware dishes, in traditional Tapas style, with plenty of

fresh salad garnish to offset the richness of the various dishes. It was a true feast of all the senses, a profusion of wonderful Mediterranean flavors begging to be tried and combined. Just when we thought there was no more to come, the homemade garlic bread was brought over, the perfect way to dip into the various sauces and mop the plates clean of the various sauces- irresistible. We were certainly full and satisfied, but still could not resist trying the homemade Turkish Rice Pudding- a creamy white delight with pistachios and a sprinkling of nutmeg which we shared, although I could have easily managed a whole one to myself! Over coffee we chatted with the

amiable owner, who is known to customers as Mr. Happy- for very good reason! He explained that the food is freshly delivered daily, and specialist ingredients such as garlic and blue cheese are sourced from all over the world as well as locally -the blue cheese for example from a small village in Spain, the chicken from Amsterdam, and the seafood fresh every day from a local supplier, Browns. Mr Happy is very proud of Sen and all it offers, and with good reason, as it is one of the finest restaurants in the area. Try the Tapas for a wonderful evening out with friends or family – you’re guaranteed to have a sensational and sociable night out at Sen.

Relishing fine wines with gusto! Martin Lury Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys

Lost Your Appetite? Find it at The Fabulous Foundry! I never thought I would be relaxed about a train delay, but if I was not in a big hurry, I’d be very pleased to have an excuse to eat at the Foundry, situated conveniently adjacent to Chichester Railway Station. The Restaurant has ample parking too, and I was able to park conveniently right outside ready to try their lunch time menu. The Foundry has been extensively renovated and refurbished thanks to the new owners, John and Gemma Whelen, and an amazing job they have done of it too. The décor is outstanding and has clearly been designed by a professional designer, offering muted teals, augmented with black and white, and a harmonious mixture of woodwork and flooring , stylish colourful lighting, and interesting features such as an old gramophone and even a wall decorated entirely with one pence pieces- a real conversation point. The result comes together beautifully to create an charmingly eye catching venue, comprising a large bar area, dining area, seating areas, and even a small raised stage, where I was told they have occasional live music at the weekends and a late licence to

enable diners to enjoy a relaxed evening out without being rushed. I took my seat in the airy and light dining area, and was greeted and served by Sean the manager, who was extremely helpful and friendly. He is clearly very proud of The Foundry and all it has to offer, and rightly so. Families, friends, couples, and even lone females would be right at home there, in the chilled and relaxed atmosphere, with familiar background music and sport on the large screen TV in the bar area, making it appealing to a wide range of customers. Sean brought me over the regular menu and advised that they also boast a special menu, which changes daily and is written up on the blackboard; all food is sourced locally, their fish always fresh- never frozen, and they use local vegetables and meat, even the coffee, he said, is supplied by a local firm who import directly. They are happy to offer sandwiches and snacks to those waiting for trains or embarking on a journey too. After some deliberation, the thought of having freshly caught fish fillet, handbattered in a beer batter, tempted me into ordering that great British classic. I did not have to

`"All food is sourced locally, their fish always fresh- never frozen, and they use local vegetables and meat. Even the coffee is supplied by a local firm who import directly!"

wait very long for it to arrive- a spectacularly large piece of golden battered fish lightly garnished with parsley, and served with sweet green peas and a pot of creamy piquant tartar sauce on the side. An exceptionally delicate light crispy batter, concealing moist, thick flakes of pristine fresh white fish, on a heap of hot golden chips rivalling any seaside fish and chip shop. I enjoyed every flavoursome mouthful; you can’t beat a really good fish and chips and this was, without doubt , one of the best I have ever had. Being a person with little will power, my determination to resist dessert was soon overturned when I examined the menu again, and spotted the chocolate brownie. A good sized square of luscious brown chocolate criss crossed with a deep chocolaty sauce, and topped off with a big ball of glossy white ice cream was soon bought my way. The heavenly warm crunchy nutty outer shell, with gooey middle- the perfect brownie,

complimented by creamy cold vanilla ice cream was simply delicious. I rounded my lunch off with a creamy frothy latte, with a big rich roasted flavour, before having a last chat with the exceptionally friendly staff, and taking a quick look round. It was a wet and windy day, but I ventured out to see the garden, and this will certainly be a big attraction in summer, with plenty of seating, lights, and canopies. The Foundry has transformed itself under the new ownership and moved far away from the traditional pub of yesteryear, it is now a bright, clean, stylish and welcoming establishment, with something for everyone, and a very reasonably priced menu with all the favourite Classics including burgers, pasta, and Sunday Roasts. They can offer group bookings and Christmas Parties as well as lunches, snacks on the go, evening dinners or anything in between. I will definitely be eating there again.

QUEL weekend! Friday night wine tasting at a Gusto Wines event, courtesy of gentleman Jim Brooks, and one which I will feature next week. Saturday night - sampling the delights of the Coda Chamber Ensemble and being as transfixed as my fellow concert goers by the dulcet tones of seven fine musicians interpreting the music of legendary Pink Floyd, in classical style at the homely Chichester Inn. What about the wine, you may well quip, well, not being able to resist a bargain, it came to my notice that Sainsbury's have resurrected their 25 per cent off offer on six bottles or more purchased until this coming Saturday, December 3. By Jove, off I scurried and initially espied a Bollinger Special Cuvée reduced to £30, and down to £22.50 if part of six or more bottles. If you like your Champagne full and rich with toasted fresh brioche and appreciate super-fine bubbles which fill your mouth and leave a luxuriously creamy feel, then this is the one for you - a veritable bargain and a definite

As we embrace winter climes, a hearty red beckons, thus at an offer price of £7.50 a 2007 Baron De Las Vinas Gran Reserva merits consideration given its aromas of dark fruit, peppery nature and well-oaked character and improves if allowed to breathe a while before consumption! If you do not like a very oaked red, then

the Carta Roja Gran Reserva 2009 is for you. Offering soft, smooth tannins and oozing ripe plum and vanilla flavours and at the offer price of £4.20ish, this is my bargain of the week and should be a cheap crowd-pleaser! Next week I explore the realm of Gusto Wines and hope that your week is one of purposeful imbibing - à la prochaine!

with rich gooseberry, lime and tropical fruit flavours - a fine example of its genre. If you seek a little more refinement, then the 2015 Domaine Reverdy Ducroux Sancerre Beau Roy on offer at an enticing £10.50 is decidedly creamy and aromatic with balanced acidity and a long finish, and is well worth a punt at this offer price.

no-brainer at this current mouthwatering price! If you are slightly more impecunious, then the Étienne Dumont at £14 and thus £10.50 if part of six, is light and refreshing with fine bubbles and a good buy! Turning my attention to white wines, the Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc at an offer price of £7.50 is a refreshing wine

METHOD 1. In a medium sized stock pot or saucepan bring the broth to a boil. 2. Add the onion, ginger, garlic and salt. Cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes. 3. In a medium-sized, heat-safe mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and tomato paste 4. THen transfer 1 to 2 cups of the hot stock to the bowl. 5. Whisk the mixture together until smooth, then pour the peanut mixture back into the soup and mix well. 6. Stir in the collard greens or kale and season the soup with hot sauce to

taste. 7. Simmer for about 15 more minutes on medium-low heat, stirring often. 8. Serve over cooked brown rice if you'd like, and top with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts. Based from a traditional West African recipe this peanut soup is nourishing and healthy. Not only is it simple and quick to make, but it is hearty and warming - perfect for a winter's evening. It is also vegetarian and vegan friendly!

Health &

Well-being by Denise Kelly

Fatigue: more than just feeling tired LIFE is busy, right? Everyone has weeks where they work hard and play hard and feel exhausted. However, fatigue is different from those types of feelings. Fatigue includes feeling weak, experiencing muscle pain and sometimes swollen glands and a general lacking of energy. When we do something strenuous, our bodies can feel tired because they need to rest and repair themselves. THe difference between fatigue and being tired is that, with rest, feelings of tiredness go away. THere are several factors which can contribute to feelings of fatigue. Some of them are medical conditions, some are lifestyle factors, and some others are psychological problems. Physical activity, a sedentary lifestyle, poor sleeping habits, excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption, and a processed food based diet can all have an impact on your energy levels. THat’s why staying fit and energetic is so important. Once a person makes the connection between food and how they feel it's easy to realise how much it’s worth making the effort to look after yourself. Life is so much more enjoyable when you have the energy to do the things you love. Don’t underestimate the power of your emotions either. Grief, stress, anxiety and depression can all lead to forms of fatigue, but whether your fatigue is due to mental, emotional, or physical problems, you can fight back by eating more of the super foods that are known to improve your health. My top eight superfoods contain powerful nutrition that your body needs for energy:

1. Sweet Potatoes Sweet potatoes have tons of energystabilizing high fibre carbohydrates as well as 25 per cent of your daily requirement of potassium which helps to lower blood pressure levels, which lowers stress on the body. Less stress means more energy! 2. Spinach Spinach is full of iron which will stop anaemia. Iron will also deliver more oxygen to the cells of the body, which will give you more natural energy. Spinach is full of potassium,magnesium, vitamins B and C, and all of these things combined pack a powerful energy punch. 3. Pumpkin Seeds Pumpkin seeds are full of B Vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, iron, magnesium and iron. All of these nutrients work in combination with one another to improve your immune system and fight fatigue. Pumpkin seeds also promote healthy sleep and fights emotional fatigue due to their high levels of tryptophan. 4. Oatmeal Oatmeal has carbs that the body will store to provide fuel for your muscles and brain all day long. THis breakfast favourite has plenty of other healthy nutrients to offer such as magnesium, protein, phosphorus and vitamin B1. Oatmeal also contains plenty of fibre, which can stabilize blood sugar levels. 5. Beans It’s time to start thinking about Mexican food! Beans are high fibre foods that have a healthy ratio of protein and complex carbs, not to mention important minerals such as copper, iron, magnesium, and potassium. THis

combination delivers long lasting energy! 6. Walnuts Walnuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help relieve mild symptoms of depression. Walnuts also have both fibre and protein, which help to fight feelings of physical stress after a workout. 7. Watermelon THis favourite fruit is full of water and important electrolytes, which helps hydration. It is also high in nutrients known to offer the body energy such as iron, potassium, vitamin C, and lycopene. 8. Spirulina Spiriluna is amazing! It is high in amino

acids and protein, and boosts a large dose or iron, B Vitamins, Magnesium and is a complete protein. It helps to reduce inflammation, boosts antioxidants, fights stress, helps increase energy and brings balance to the body! Denise Kelly - Is a passionate and motivated 'health expert/ nutritionist'. Her company is called - DK-The wellbeing company - and represents all things health and fitness. She also runs a juice company 'Juice it' that makes and delivers

healthy juices and smoothies. She is involved with motivational talks, conferences and corporate events regarding health all over the world and believes that knowledge is power and ultimately health is your only wealth! Life is for thriving and not just surviving. For your health questions, or to book a consultation with Denise, please contact her on:

info@denisekelly.co.uk www.denisekelly.co.uk

"To help combat tiredness in the long-term a healthy balance of all the main food groups - starchy foods, five portions of fruits and vegetables, dairy and protein is a must. Dehydration is also linked to tiredness."

Mouth-watering work on show

Moonscapes, a work in progress by Michael Frith in his new studio

Michael's first illustration for the River Cottage A-Z Cookbook was a brill

INTERNATIONAL artist Michael Firth is opening his new studio in Bosham with an exhibition of his work for a top chef. Michael is putting on show all 76 of his critically-acclaimed watercolours from the River Cottage A-Z Cookbook. Depicting an array of livestock, fish, seafood and fungi, fruit, spices and vegetables, Michael's original watercolour artwork for Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's latest book can be viewed from December 9-12. THe setting is suitably rustic - his studio is a semi-converted barn at Harts Farm in Hoe Lane, Bosham. His work is also on show in the National Portrait Gallery in London. Michael began the cookbook project a year ago with an illustration of a flat fish, a brill, and had just six months to complete the rest of the book. "I had to work very quickly but I'm used to it because of my many years providing illustrations for national newspapers such as The Sunday Times," he said. He was briefed beforehand on the position and size of the required illustrations - some full page, others vignettes - intended to heighten readers' interest and titillate their palates. THey clearly did the job, with The Daily Telegraph describing the end results as 'glorious'. Michael began by producing a series of rough pencil sketches and then moved on to full colour artwork. "THe pineapple was the most difficult to paint because of its intricacy. My favourites were the fish and crustaceans. It's the association with water and the reflections that come through. Half a pumpkin doesn't have the same allure," he said. Michael has lived and worked in West Sussex for more than 30 years. THe exhibition will also features his work in progress, Moonscapes, a series of night studies of his favourite haunts - Chichester Harbour, West Stoke Wood and South Harting Hill. THe series was inspired by last month's 'supermoon', when the gap between the earth and the moon was at its shortest point for nearly 70 years. Michael said: "Cloud covered most of the country the night of the full supermoon but I went out the night before, when it was already close, so I got a good idea of what it was to look like. "I've always liked the effect of the moon on the sea and woodlands and this rare moon has challenged me to do some large watercolours." THroughout November, Michael spent two hours at a time, armed with a torch, sitting and walking about damp woodlands to observe the colour of moonlight and then recreating it in his studio. "THe colour is almost intangible constantly changing," he said. "THat's not to say there isn't a lot of colour because there is. It's just not what we are used to seeing. So, we have to keep on looking until we perceive it. What's more it is not possible to reproduce until I'm back in the studio and then I'm working in daylight attempting to capture the night." THe intense colour in Michael's paintings, which could be mistaken for oils, reflect his desire to show that watercolours are neither wishy-washy nor merely a sketching medium. THis has also led him to paint large portraits in the same medium. "I wanted to shake up the watercolour world, rattle its cages," he explained. He achieved this with his larger-than-life portrait of the controversial newspaper baron Robert Maxwell the first watercolour the National Portrait Gallery bought for its 20th century permanent collection. "To achieve the depth of colour you don't normally get with watercolour, I mix the paint so it flows but only just," he added. Michael Frith Open Studio Exhibition, 9am-5pm, December 10-11.

THese columns will draw on, and briefly question, relevant issues in the Post circulation area and shows existing community provision that can help. It is not a direct promotion of the centre's services but raises issues and increases access to what is available.

AS YOU can imagine I actually do read statistical information because as a growing organisation we need to know such detail but my absolute favourite is a good read for anyone who likes to know the key issues that will impact us – West Sussex Life 20172019 is a jolly good read. THe latest edition of West Sussex Life 2017-2019 - which gives a statistical snapshot of daily life in our county - is now in your library and available online to residents, businesses and communities. THe free publication is a comprehensive research tool put together by West Sussex County Council. It’s the go-to tool for anything you want to know about the county and is packed with easy-to-understand information relating to all aspects of daily life for residents and communities – including an Arun and Chichester perspective. Startling facts such as people receiving ‘meals on wheels’ only see another person once a fortnight. Arun saw the biggest growth in 65+ populations, rising to 4,668 people – of which 23 per cent said they were moderately or severely lonely. Chichester came out as the least affordable area to live in West Sussex, yet the statistics for those on benefits in this area is surprisingly high. How about this fact – there are 25,000 more women than men in the county. Or is this surprising? Just over 19,000 people in West Sussex speak something other than English as their first language the largest group being those who speak Polish. For those who said it is not their first language, 83 per cent said they could still speak English well or very well. Only around 900 said they did not speak English at all. Another nugget - the annual cost of alcohol-related harm in the UK is estimated to be £21 billion. 96 per cent of GPs in West Sussex said alcohol misuse had been raised as a concern during a health appointment in the past 12 months. Arun had the second highest number of alcohol-related admissions to hospital in the county. It delightfully contains rather obscure facts like how many bins have been emptied or the detail about use of libraries. So if you have a burning desire to find some facts or you love statistical info pop in your library or download it on the iPad and read it on your bus journey...it really is in a fabulous format that actually makes it quite compelling. Really. For us, the report simply helps us access funds by providing important key local data that helps us focus on the right services, prove our point and we can project the future.

INDEPENDENT authors had a happy ending with their Love to Read party in Chichester. THe members of CHINDI raised just under £750 at a party for Dyslexia Action. Bognor Regis-based author Helen Christmas organised the fundraiser. She said: "We had about 100 guests with all the door money going directly to the charity. "THis is the second event we've held at the Pallant Suite and, with the pay bar and great sound system, it is perfect for a launch party."

ONE of the most popular events in the social calendar of Bognor Regis Twinning Association attracted about 70 members, pictured above. THe annual Beaujolais Bistro saw some past members who came to the town for the latest of the popular get-togethers. It was held at the Rowland Rank Centre in Aldwick. Press officer James Clevett said: "THe main purpose for this excuse to have a party is the toasting of the first new French wine of the season,

She thanked the companies which donated more than £600 worth of prizes for the raffle. THe authors introduced their books by reading extracts on stage and the evening was topped off by local band Dung, who play free for charity. Dyslexia Action has more than 40 years' experience in providing services and support to people with literacy and numeracy difficulties. Helen added: "We plan to hold more events in 2017 to support the charity."

Beaujolais - the connection being that Bognor Regis' first twin town was St Maur des Fosses, close to Paris in 1984. It is also twinned with Trebbin and Weil am Rhein. THe next social function members have to look forward to is the Christmas party on December 10 at the home of Heather Perrot. Another future event, of which details are yet to be announced, is the forthcoming annual general meeting next January.

Dear Sir, Having read the report about Blake’s Cottage in the Post (18/11/16) I felt that I had to respond in order to clarify some points and bring about balance in the report which sadly was lacking. It was disappointing to find that the Post has given this coverage without comment from members of the Trust who now own the cottage. When plans were being made to purchase the cottage I was approached to see if I and the county council could support this venture. I did not hesitate to show my approval for this scheme as I am a great believer in preserving our heritage. Following this approach I wrote to Louise Goldsmith, the Leader of West Sussex County Council to see if we as a County Council could help. A meeting was set up and she showed great enthusiasm for supporting the purchase of the Cottage. An application to the Members Big Society Fund supported by myself was submitted and a grant of £10,000 was awarded towards the purchase costs. I would like to make it very clear that the objectives of the purchase were made very evident to me from the very beginning and have not changed since despite what Beryl Kingston, pictured below, has to say about this. Tim Heath stated quite clearly that they wanted to demolish the modern 1970s addition at the rear of the cottage and return it to a period cottage when Blake lived there. THey also intended building a visitor centre on the site. THere is one important point that has to be made and that the trust does intend allowing public access contrary to the rumourmongering that Beryl Kingston is promoting in the village. THe size and siting of the cottage do not allow for coach-

-loads of visitors nor would the residents of Felpham want to see that. THe opening of the cottage has to be carefully managed and there will be times when the public will be allowed in. In addition to this, steps have recently been taken to secure the structure contrary to what is being said. THe state of the cottage is not an overnight occurrence and has been in decay for many years. Why is it that Beryl Kingston has all of a sudden become concerned about this? Did she not petition the previous owner about the state of the cottage? I doubt it very much. I have been aware of the views being promoted by Beryl Kingstone and her colleagues for some time now and am very angry at the line being followed. Just to make readers aware, the bad press that has been generated by Beryl Kingston has undermined the efforts I have made in gaining interest and support from the county council. THe opportunity to attract large sums of financial backing has been jeopardised as a result of the negative campaign being orchestrated. Further applications for public money are probably doomed to failure. THe cottage is in new ownership and quite what Beryl hopes to achieve I do not know. Finally, I would urge all those who attended the meeting in Felpham to reject what has been said and get behind the Trust. THe trust always said that a substantial sum of money would be needed for the work intended and it is reasonable to expect that they could achieve the target sum of money with support from the wider community. THere is much to do and I just do not want to see this project being undermined. THis crusade against the Trust is very damaging and it has to stop! Graham Jones, West Sussex county councillor for Felpham

On the seafront the Highbury House and Tea Gardens, alongside the Esplanade Restaurant tea gardens, were enticing customers with specialist cream ices and sundaes in addition to their liberal and varied menus. Garages also feature, with NJ Wilmot, Sait & Gale, Mearman’s, Aldwick Motors and Bognor Motors. I was very surprised when reading through this very interesting publication the small number of people who used the Royal connection in their advertising, so soon after the King’s visit. Also it is interesting to note the high number of local companies who have advertised in comparison to the small number of local companies who advertise today. Where are the builders, schools, hairdressers and butchers who could advertise in the town guide? I suppose you could argue that the requests for advertising today are continual whereas in the 1930s the opportunities were much more limited. Whatever the reason, future local historians will have a less enlightened view of Bognor Regis in 2016 in printed publications.

Albany House, 62 London Road, which was only five minutes from the sea with ‘tennis and tea lawns’ in addition to the drawing and smoking rooms. Miss E Carter operated this premise and Woods eventually replaced the premises near the corner of London Road and Lennox Street, the site where today we have the Crown Bingo and Appliance Centre. Another premise was Knighton House Private Hotel in Aldwick Road, West Bognor Regis. THis first class premise had a fine position with good sea views, separate tables in addition to ‘gas fires in principal bedrooms’ with writing rooms and a smoking lounge. THis premise today consists of offices. Taking every opportunity to promote, the Bay Estate extolled the fact that it was immediately adjacent to Craigweil House, and freehold houses were for sale from £1,250 freehold – not that price today! In the same vicinity, H.W. Seymour was advertising the availability of homes on the Marine Park Estate. THere were more houses with the Southdown Estates who had homes in Aldwick and Bognor Regis costing from £675 to £1,650 and these were situated in Aldwick Gardens and Barrack Lane in addition to Longford Road, Den Avenue and other sites. Finally homes were available for “Health & Comfort” on the Summerley Estate, where homes would be ‘entirely shut off from motor traffic.’ CT Cooper in West Street was advertising his dispensing, photographic and printing services next to Sait’s Dairies who had the ‘cleanest and highest quality milk in West Sussex.’ W. Parfrement & Sons, the butchers and poulterers, were able to explain that they had been ‘exclusive purveyors to the Royal Table, Craigweil House,’ complete with an excellent picture of the outside of the shop, which today would not necessarily entice customers!

Interestingly, the guide has numerous pages of prose extolling the virtues of the town written by ‘a Londoner’ who covers the genial climate, pure water supply, record sunshine and a place for study. THis guide provides information on the local rates, town’s enterprise and finally provides information on the entertainment available for the visitor. A full page is devoted to the sunshine level, which amounted to 2,030.2 hours in 1929. Another feature of town guide books of this era is that they explore the villages, which includes Aldwick and Pagham, in addition to the countryside and the benefits of cycling, riding and hiking finally churches, social clubs, boarding and day schools are also recorded. THere is so much more information for the visitor than in today’s local guides. Guides for this time therefore provide the local historian with so much more information about what life was like both for the visitor and the locals. Advertisements are also an interesting feature of any publication and this guide is no exception. THis 147-page booklet has so much information including hairdressers, hotels, bed and breakfast in addition to services, schools and shops, so let us take a look at some of these organisations and facilities. Hotels, of course, form a large part of these publications for obvious reasons, with such names as THe Gresham, Esplanade, THe Sydney Hotel, THe Beaulieu Private Hotel, THe Marlborough Hotel, Victoria Hotel, THe Argyle Hotel, South Downs Hotel, Alexandra and it continues for a further 30 pages. I can hear you say ‘there was more choice,’ however, how many people reading this article go abroad for their holidays, or would consider giving over their homes during the summer season to ‘do bed and breakfast?’ Changing times, of course, and with increased travel availability many of the seaside resorts around the country can all look at the decline in the usage of their home town. One of the interesting factors looking at the advertisements is seeing how many of these premises were very central. King George V ate well during his stay For example,

By Sylvia Endacott

Publications are true guide of the times WE HAVE occasionally talked of the visit of King George V to recuperate. I thought it may be worth having a look at the town following this visit. I came across a holiday guide for 1930, immediately following the King’s stay, so will now take a look at this guide. THe introduction asks, “Why Bognor Regis?” and records that the “King’s medical advisors took infinite trouble before they recommended Bognor Regis as the best place of all in Great Britain and the Continent for the Royal Invalid. THey appreciated that this health resort enjoys a maximum amount of sunlight and sea air,” we are still advertising the town as being at the top of the sunshine league. However this introduction continued, “at the same time they made sure of the purity of water supplies and of all the other factors that make for health. THeir final choice was therefore irrefutable proof of the ideal merits of Bognor Regis.” With this type of advertising how could people really holiday anywhere else? THe report concludes, “Accordingly those who come for a holiday to Bognor Regis, or decide to reside there, have every reason to congratulate themselves on their choice of the healthiest, sunniest town on the South Coast.” Which is still true today.

Kia's new, fourth generation Sportage - the improved compact SUV It stakes its claim on being the best SUV on the block The new Kia Sportage is the fourthgeneration of Kia’s globally-popular compact SUV. Featuring an attractive, all-new interior and exterior design, a host of advanced new technology features and greater quality, the new Kia Sportage stakes its claim to being the best SUV on the block. The new-look interior features high quality materials and design integrity, as well as greater practicality and a range of technologies than before to improve comfort, convenience, connectivity and safety. Its range of new and updated engines and transmissions will result in enhanced efficiency and performance, while ride, handling and refinement are all improved. For the first time, a new ‘GT Line’ specification is available to Sportage customers. Designed and engineered to appeal to those looking for a sportier driving experience, the GT Line

specification delivers all the versatility of the standard Sportage while adding visual and dynamic appeal. The fourth-generation Kia Sportage features a bold new look, with the vehicle’s designers creating a sleek and powerful look from every angle. The attractive ‘face’ of the Sportage features the biggest change to the car’s design over the outgoing model, with Kia’s hallmark ‘tiger-nose’ grille and the car’s separated headlamps for the new model. The attractive new design also makes this the most aerodynamic Sportage to date, with drag reduced from 0.35 to 0.33 Cd – a result of the re-profiled undercover and newlydesigned bumper. The all-new Sportage is also available with a choice of 16-, 17- or 19-inch aluminum alloy wheel designs, while the GT Line specification comes with a unique 19inch wheel option as standard.

With an an all-new interior, offering greater space and improved passenger comfort, the fourth-generation model is the most practical Sportage yet. In the front, drivers can enjoy more legroom, as well as the comfort of the redesigned seats. The Sportage can now be specified with three-way front heat seating, 10-way power control with lumbar support for the driver’s seat and eight-way power control for the passenger seat. Stiffer seat frames, with greater use of high tensile steel, and redesigned springs and pads – for front and rear – cut the level of vibration in the seats, while reducing seat weight by 2.5 kg and improving durability. In the rear, a 40 mm lower interior floor – without sacrificing exterior ground clearance – and 30 mm higher rear bench hip point mean second-row passengers benefit from a more natural and comfortable seating posture and improved under-thigh support. The new body’s larger dimensions mean cargo space in the fourth-generation Sportage has expanded from 465 litres to 503 litres

(VDA), made more practical by a dual-height luggage floor, allowing taller items to fit into the boot and still remain hidden by the tonneau cover. The Sportage also features a new under-floor tonneau cover storage area – unique in the class. Despite the new Sportage being no wider than the outgoing model, by re-engineering the rear section of the body the luggage area is 35 mm wider, while the upper edge of the boot lip is lowered so the lift-over height for heavy items is just 732 mm (down 47 mm). The all-new Sportage has greater fuel capacity, with the increased size of the fuel tank, now 62 litres compared to the previous 58. Key to the comfort of the passengers is improved in the new Sportage by Kia engineers to cut noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). Significant changes render the Sportage one of the most refined cars in its class, with less cabin noise than many other rivals in the C-SUV segment. The new Sportage is also the safest Sportage yet with a stronger body and a wealth of active safety systems. To learn more call: Newbarn Kia, 65 Aldwick Road, Bognor Regis – on 01243 841200.

the high-flying visitors raced into a 14-0 lead. Chi could have faded but they rallied, showing great character to narrow the deficit to 14-6 at the break Into the second half and Wimbledon crossed the try line again. But cheered on by a bumper crowd, Chi fought back - with Tom Belcher scoring after some good work by the forwards to close the gap to 21-16. With time running out some slick passing saw Belcher break through. But a last ditch tackle five metres from the line prevented the score, leaving Chi content with a bonus point Roger Gould, the club's press officer, said: "Matches between these two old rivals have nearly always been close and hard fought. "THis was typical and exciting. Chichester nearly produced the shock of the season." With Chi now just two points off the bottom, Gould said wins at Guildford, and then at Oaklands Park against Colchester and Guernsey were vital.

LAST week saw the Over's 60s and Ladies knockouts for the Bognor Friday Night Benevolent League take place at the Newtown Social Club. THe Over 60s knockout saw 10 players take part, exactly half of last years turnout. THe first semi-final saw last years champion, Buster Barton (Squash Club), take on the 2014/15 champion Larry Chant (Aldwick Legion).

CHICHESTER women's hockey captain Meg Goring says her side are on track for promotion after they continued their strong start to the season with a 5-1 win against South Saxons. A hat-trick from Polish overseas star Patti Hyla, plus individual efforts from Goring and Demelza Peake, helped Chi overcome a sluggish start. THe victory moves them to third in the Sussex Women's League, three points behind the leaders.. Next up is a top of the table clash with Brighton and Hove 2nds tomorrow (2pm) - with Chi knowing a win could put them in a promotion place. Speaking to the Post, Goring said: "It is a big game. We have

a full squad of 16 available and we're more than ready for the match. "We know that if we win we are on course for the title as we are way ahead on goal difference." Chi have performed well this campaign, keen to do better than last season's third place. THe loss of six players in the off-season has not hampered progress with a new coaching team, which includes former GB player Jason Collins, getting the best out of the squad. So far they have lost just once in the league. A day out at the Olympic hockey stadium in Lee Valley is also possible - with Chi in the quarter finals of the national knock-out vase.

Chant had knocked out three time champion Derrick Longhurst (Squash Club) in the first round, but had a tougher fight against Barton. It went to a decider where Chant took out the double in two darts to finish the leg. THe second semi-final saw Andy Cooper (Squash Club) against Richard Pennells (POW Galleon), who had beaten four time champion, Roger Hackett (Squash Club), in the first round. It was Cooper who prevailed though winning 2-0. THe final saw Chant win the bull for the first throw, but the game started even with only 1 point between them. Cooper hit a ton, but Chant followed with one of his own, and then a 140. After 20 darts the first leg was Chant's. THe second leg saw both players hit a ton, but Cooper took the lead, hitting the double after 23 darts. THe last leg saw the better start from Chant, but a 180 from Cooper gave him the first chance at the double, but it was a chance he missed. Chant took the opportunity, and hit his double to regain the Over 60s knockout champion title. THe Ladies knockout saw nine players take part, the second worst turnout in at least 13 years. Ellie Gostick (Richmond Rebels) met Rachel Hall (Aldingbourne Mavericks) in the first semi-final with the former winning the game 2-0. THe second semi-final saw Aldingbourne Mavericks team mates Paula Duckett & Emma Bist face each other with Bist's clinical nature taking her through to the last match.

THe final saw Gostick win the first throw, but start poorly. Meanwhile Bist was steady and easing into the lead. A score of 81 from Bist was followed by an 85 from Gostick, but Bist was already on her double. A few missed darts let Gostick catch up, but with 5 left, Bist hit single 3 and double 1 to take the first leg. THe second leg again saw Bist scoring steadily over the up and down scores of Gostick. At the end of the leg Bist scored an 81 & 127, followed by single 18, single 12 and double top to score an out-shot of 70, taking the leg, and the win, taking the Benevolent Ladies knockout champion title for this year.

Lions out to tame the Musselmen Tim Ridgway Football sport@sussexpost.co.uk

f Chi's Josh Clack on the attack

Chi verging on Vase history CHICHESTER city are on the verge of making fa vase history with the side just one win away from equalling the club's best ever performance in the competition. THe Lillywhites travel to fellow SCFL Premier side Newhaven in the third round of the national non-league competition tomorrow (3pm). A win will take Miles Rutherford's side into the last 32 of the Vase, matching the achievements of the Chi side of 1995/6 who reached the same stage. Despite the potential of a game anywhere in the country and becoming history makers in the process, the manager says all eyes are currently focussed on the task in hand. Speaking to the Post, Rutherford said: "Newhaven are a good side and with striker Lee Robinson up front they are always dangerous. But it is a game we can win and that's all we are thinking about. "It's a very important game and it just depends on the day.

We are all looking forward to it and I hope we can move into the next round." Rutherford's side bounced back from a disappointing and surprising 3-1 loss to lower league Langney Wanderers in the Peter Bentley cup by comprehensively dispatching bottom side Hailsham Town on Saturday. Four goals from Daniel Hegarty and one each for Josh Clack and Jake Gale helped Chi to a 6-1 win at Oaklands Park. THat kept Chi in fourth in the SCFL Premier, level on points with Pagham who are third and one point behind Haywards Heath in second Rutherford's charges were due to be in action on Tuesday, travelling to Eastbourne Borough in the third round of the Sussex Senior Cup. But other fixture commitments saw the trip to the defending champions postponed. THat game will now take place at Priory Lane on December 13 at 7.45pm.

PAGHAM chiefs have issued a rallying call as the Lions prepare for a crunch top-ofthe-table clash with Shoreham tomorrow (3pm). Mark Bennett's side are reeling after two consecutive league losses in the SCFL Premier. THose defeats mean Pagham are now third, eight points behind first-placed Shoreham, with the Musselmen visiting Nyetimber Lane tomorrow. THe message from those at the club is that nothing but three points will do as THe Lions look to get their promotion ambitions back on track. Chairman Tony Shea said: "It's a big game and we need to be at our best to get something from it." A fortnight ago, Pagham were cruising, unbeaten in 13 and buoyed after beating Shoreham 4-2 in extra time in the Peter Bentley league cup. But a fortnight ago, Eastbourne Town snatched a

last-second winner to condemn the Lions to a 3-2 defeat. THat was followed up by an even-more surprising 4-2 defeat away at AFC Uckfield. Goals from Kieron Pamment and Ryan Morey had pulled Pagham back level in the match. But efforts from Ryan Cooper and James Feist late on meant the Lions had to make the long journey back down south with their tail between their legs. THat defeat - which one regular described as "easily the worst performance of the season" - has seen Pagham slip to third, one point behind Haywards Heath in second. As the club looks to put that defeat behind them this weekend, Shea said all former players at the club were welcome to Nyetimber Lane for free this weekend. THe hope is there will be a bumper crowd to roar the Lions on to success. But with Shoreham losing just once in the league all season, and scoring 18 in their last four, it will be a tough task.

Selsey hit for five in defeat Tim Ridgway Football sport@sussexpost.co.uk

Sids' bid for nine in a row Tim Ridgway Rugby sport@sussexpost.co.uk SIDLESHAM hope to be on Cloud Nine tomorrow as they look to keep a remarkable winning streak alive. Daren Pearce side's 4-0 win last week against Worthing Town Leisure made it eight wins in a row for the green and golds. It is part of an unbeaten streak which stretches back to August and puts the team in second in the SCFL Division Two. Hopes are high that the side can keep the good form going as they host Roffey at the Memorial Recreation Ground tomorrow (2pm). It will not be easy - with Roffey being the only side to defeat Sidlesham this season. THey will also need to counter striker Harri Nourse, who has scored 21 goals so far for the Horsham-based side. THe confidence in the Sids' camp is sky high though - particularly after comfortably overcoming Worthing Leisure on Saturday. With Joe Leggatt still suspended and Matt Roberts taken ill, Daren Pearce had to reshuffle their back four, welcoming back Toby Pointing and handing a debut to 17-year-old Reece Colbourne. In poor conditions and on a less than even surface, a more direct approach was adopted

Table-topping Bognor do not fear the Angels Tim Ridgway Football sport@sussexpost.co.uk

f Sids' show off their moves as the winning run rolls on and it soon paid off - with a header on from Tom Kelly putting Tom Bayley through to volley over the on-coming keeper. THe second one wasn't far behind - a corner by Callum Dowdell found the head of Tom Jefkins who flicked on to Bayley to nod in past the diving keeper. THe game was killed off in the second half when Dowdell finished off a lovely team move, volleying in at the far post. A late

penalty from Dan Bassil rounded off the rout and keeps Sids' second, five points behind Bosham. Speaking after the match, Pearce said: "Worthing didn't really test our defence all afternoon with the impressive [Steve] Williams and Pointing being the rocks on which a solid foundation is built. THe win was vital as it keeps us in the pack and puts pressure on Bosham."

Taple-topping Robins make it Sweet Sixteen

Email@ sport@sussexpost.co.uk

BOSHAM remain top of the SCFL Division Two after a remarkable 16-1 win over hapless Ferring. THe Robins have been excellent all year, winning 12 and drawing one of their 13 league games so far. Five points clear at the top, Saturday's victory at Walton Lane has boosted the goal difference for Andy Probee's side over the 50 mark with more than half the season still to go. Marco Giambelardini came close to going home with two matchballs after netting five in the win. Other goals were scored by Bradley Miles (3), Louis Bell (3), Ryan Coombes (2), Neil Redman, Harry Stephens and Callum Fewell. THe only blot on the day was a consolotion effort conceeded with just ten minutes to

play. THe Robins will be hoping to continue their good form tomorrow when they travel to Brighton to play Rottingdean Village in the league (2pm). THe hosts have had an inconsistent season so far and are without a win in four, something Probee's side will be keen to take advantage of. THe following week Bosham take their place in the last 16 of the Sussex Intermediate Cup, hosting Westfield at Walton Lane (1.30pm). Club officials said there was great incentive to continue progress in a competition Bosham has never won. A further home tie against either AFC Varndeanians reserves or West Sussex Premier side Lavant awaits the wnners in the quarter finals.

TOP of the table Bognor have nothing to fear as they travel to take on fellow promotion hopefuls Tonbridge Angels tomorrow (3pm). THe Rocks went back to the top of the league in midweek after an Ollie Pearce penalty and Darren Budd strike helped them to a 2-0 victory against Kingstonian. But the trip to Kent will not be easy - with the hosts sitting ninth albeit with up to five games in hand on those sides around them. Rocks boss Jamie Howell said his side would need to be at their best if they are to return to Nyewood Lane with anything.

Saturday. THe Rocks never really got going and could not come back after the visitors scored just before half time. A late sending off for Calvin Davies and another goal inside stoppage time made matters worse. Howell said "We were very poor on Saturday. We had with a lot of injuries and a number of players out. It was just had a bad day at the office. "I think it was as poor as I've seen us play for a long time. THat's not because the players were not trying but I think we just didn't have a good enough balance, which I have to take some blame for."

Howell on look out for players Tim Ridgway Football sport@sussexpost.co.uk

f Robins are in fine form

Speaking to the Post, he said: "It is always a difficult place to go but the result from midweek will give us confidence. "THey were the early pace-setters and will be difficult to beat. It's the first of a few tough games coming up, they are coming thick and fast." Bognor have already played Tonbridge at home this season, coming out 2-0 winners against a depleted Angels side. Howell said: "I'm sure they will feel with a full strength side they can do well so we will have to be wary that they will want to come out and right that wrong." Bognor did just that on Tuesday after a disappointing defeat to Hendon at home on

ROCKS boss Jamie Howell admits he is on the look out for new signings despite his side riding high in the Ryman Premier. THe Rocks' 2-0 win in midweek against Kingstonian propelled them back to the top of the table, two points clear of Havant in second. With other sides around them having deeper pockets and more players to pick from, it is a remarkable start to the year for a youthful and spirited Rocks side. But with injuries and potential suspensions starting to mount up, Howell knows that a few extra numbers could make all the difference come the end of the season. Speaking to the Post, Howell said: "It is difficult - I tried to bring in three players for the game against Kingstonian but unfortunately none of them came off. "But we have Chad Field back in the squad for Saturday, and Jimmy Wild should also be

fit." Four players will miss tomorrow's trip to Tonbridge Angels the suspended Calvin Davies and injured trio of Dan Beck, Alex Parsons (knee) and Jimmy Muitt f (hamstring). THe good news is that Harvey Whyte is back in training and in contention for a start after returning to the bench for the defeat against Hendon. Tommy Fraser, brother of James Fraser and University of Chichester student Ifeanyi Onwuachu also featured as substitutes in that game to give Howell options. THe Bognor boss admitted that the return of Sami El-Abd in the heart of defence on Tuesday, along with Darren Budd after suspension, made a difference against Kingstonian. He said: "We can only do what we can with

SELSEY were brought crashing down to earth after a drubbing at home to Langney Wanderes in the SCFL Division One. Confidence was high at the Bunn Leisure Stadium after the Blues, pictured above, had gone four league games undefeated. But the visiting side from Eastbourne scored five second half goals - including a seven minute hat-trick for Nathan Crabb - to condemn Selsey to defeat in front of their home fans. THe Blues have an immediate opportunity to get back on track, hosting Seaford Town tomorrow (3pm). THe visitors have struggled in recent weeks and currently sit four places and five points behind Selsey. Steve Bailey's side know that a win could take them back into the top half of the table. Elsewhere, and Nyetimber Pirates continued their unbeaten start to the West Sussex Premier season with a 2-1 win against Holbrook thanks to a late Michael Frangou strike. THey will be looking to continue their run hosting Newtown Villa tomorrow (2pm) In the same competition, Bognor-based Predators will be looking to follow up last week's 2-0 home win against Petworth when they welcome Rogate to Longbrook Pavilion (2pm). Predators have already won the reverse fixture 3-1 last

month Chichester City Ladies marked their return to action with a 4-0 win away at Brislington, pictured below. Chi headed west having lost their last two and a little short on match practice due to bad weather. But a hat trick for Charley Wilson-Blakely, pictured below, and one for Laura Ingram meant the green and whites returned from Bristol with all three points. THe win returns them to the summit of the FA Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier South West One table and brings a testing November to an end on a happy note. Chichester were very quick out of the blocks at the start of the match - and within ten minutes they were two up thanks to a powerful Ingram header and Wilson-Blakely chipping over the advancing keeper. Not long after the half hour, they had a third with the inform double barrelled striker burying a shot into the bottom corner of the net. She added her third late on with a well-taken volley. Chi return to action on Sunday hosting Maidenhead at Oaklands Park (2pm). It was a good weekend for the Ladies with the development squad winning 5-3 away to Crawley Wasps Reserves. Two goals for Carmen Kager and one each for Jodie Pallant, Lauren Ellis and Teri Foster secured the win.

The Rocks try to break down Hendon our squad. If we can keep our squad fit and suspension free then we can do really well. But if we get a few niggles then it's difficult. "I know that the lads all get on really well and they will all work really hard, so whatever team I put out there will fight and do well for each other. He added: "It's a long way to go though and we are far more advanced than I thought we would be. You always want to go into Christmas in the mix, up amongst the playoff places, and we're far above that at the moment."
