Queen's award for city groups

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (the MBE for volunteer groups) has been awarded to two Chichester groups.

THis prestigious award recognises excellence of voluntary activities and services carried out by groups in the community and has been awarded to THe Chichester Bell Tower Youth Drop-In and the Friends of Chichester Hospitals.

THe award recognises the work by Chichester Bell Tower Youth Drop-In volunteers in supporting young people in Chichester and the wider district, providing a daily after-school dropin, with mentoring support and young leaders development programme.

Volunteers also provide in-school support.

THe Friends of Chichester Hospitals provide the daily trolley service to wardbound patients in St Richard’s Hospital, and a popular hospital shop for the

convenience of patients, visitors and hospital staff, offering a wide selection of everyday items – newspapers and magazines, toiletries, gifts, snacks and drinks.

Sam Harding, project manager of THe Bell Tower Youth Drop-In, said: "THe award recognises the work of numerous individuals who have volunteered within their community to improve the lives of so many young people.

"Without the dedication of these volunteers, THe Bell Tower Youth Drop-

In would not exist. I feel very privileged to lead the project and will celebrate the fact that we have received this award from the Queen with our team of volunteers from across the community.

"I feel particularly proud when I see many young people who have used our centre for years, choosing to come back to volunteer and give back to their community, creating a lasting cycle of positive change."

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE NEW cabinet at Chichester District Council has agreed the release of almost £900,000 to fund work at their Westhampnett depot.

THe recommendations by cabinet will go to the full council for agreement and include £392,000 from reserves, £200,000 from the assets replacement programme, £31,000 from Brexit funding and another £199,400 from reserves.

THe council's contract services depot at Westhampnett has been the subject of a major phased refurbishment and redevelopment programme of works lasting several years.

In 2015 a half-acre area on the site was redeveloped to form a gypsy and traveller transit site in addition to a new service road to provide an exit from the site via the West Sussex County Council's waste transfer station to create a one road network.

Cllr Peter Wilding said: "I'm actually supportive of this project. I think it's a good idea. THe fuel storage option will give us extra supply for our stand-by generator there.

"I just have one question with regards to fuel storage. What type of container are you going to use? Will it be steel or plastic?

"I'm thinking of security. £370,000-worth of fuel might be better in a steel container."

Leader Eileen Lintill said: "When we visited the depot recently, I think it's a project which is long overdue.

"For me, the key thing is, it's about the

safety of those that are working there, so if it improves that, it's good.

"I, too, had some concern about the tank so I'd really like some reassurance about the safety of that and the security of it. THere have been a couple of instances, not on our site but quite close by, and I would hate to be the third one, our fuel tank going up."

Officers reassured cabinet members that the tank systems were in steel containers and were secure and the fuel used was diesel, which was a lot less volatile than petrol.

Cllr Norma Graves added: "I am pleased to see that the gypsy and traveller site will have the septic removed and I hope that goes ahead. It does say that itkelly.wickha could be connected to the drainage, it doesn't say they will be."

Council upgrade a pedestrian crossing on popular city route ESSENTIAL work to replace ageing pedestrian crossing equipment with the latest technology is due to start on a main route into Chichester city centre on Monday, June 17.

Parts of the Westhampnett Road crossing, between the mini roundabouts at the St James' Road and Spitalfield Lane junctions, are now obsolete.

Multi-way temporary signals will be needed for safety during the work, so road users are being warned to expect delays. Shops and businesses will be able to open as usual and there will be a temporary pedestrian crossing available.

A West Sussex highways spokesperson said: “For through

traffic, we urge road users to seek alternative routes, particularly during peak periods.

"We apologise for any inconvenience.”

THe work, which will take about two weeks, will include: • Converting the traffic signal heads to LED: this will improve visibility/energy efficiency and reduce the need for lamp changes • Inclusion of pedestrian beepers and rotating, cone-shaped tactile devices under the push button panel to help visually-impaired people tell when it is safe to cross • Replacing the tactile paving THe crossing improvement scheme cost a total of about £23,000.

THe dogs are trained to carry out a range of everyday tasks including picking up and fetching items, opening doors and undressing a person. THey can even help load and unload a washing machine and they can fetch help in an emergency.

“By attending an information session, it helps to raise awareness and vital funds for the charity,” says Gemma Tupper, community fundraiser for the south.

THe Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, which is made annually, recognises and rewards excellence in voluntary activities carried out by groups in the community.

THe award is given in recognition of outstanding achievement by groups of two or more people in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Isle of Man who volunteer their own time to enhance and improve the quality of life and opportunity for individuals or other groups in the community.

THe Friends are the dedicated charity for St Richard’s Hospital and local mental health services in the Chichester area, serving patients from all over western Sussex – including rural areas and towns like Midhurst, Petworth, Littlehampton, Bognor Regis and Emsworth.

All shop profits are used to enhance or develop the hospital’s services to patients. Further income from fundraising events, donations and legacies enables the Friends to give significant financial support each year to provide vital medical equipment and amenities.

Friends of Chichester Hospitals chairman Jane Ramage said: "We are delighted that the work of Friends’ volunteers has been recognised by this prestigious award – the ultimate award for voluntary groups.

"It is a tremendous honour, and we are proud of our team members and the work they do to serve others. Our volunteers give thousands of hours

of time each year to support our hospitals, especially St Richard’s.

"It shows incredible commitment to a vital part of our community and really does make a difference each day for patients, visitors and staff. We are thrilled that their dedication and hard work has been acknowledged with the Queen’s Award."

THe Bell Tower Youth Drop-in was established in 2014 to provide a safe space in Chichester city centre that is open every weekday during term time.

THis free of charge project was launched by local individuals and staffed by volunteers after previous government-funded youth centres had to close due to cutbacks to the statutory youth services.

Over the past five years, the project has settled into the heart of the community, building trust with local young people and forming strong partnerships with local authorities, schools, businesses, churches, the University of Chichester and other organisations.

THe charity’s volunteers are a true testament to what dedication can bring.

Since opening, the project has recorded more than 7,000 volunteer hours, and in the last year alone, has worked regularly with over 260 young people, receiving 4,023 visits to the drop-in centre.

THe drop-in based in the Cathedral Bell Tower in central Chichester is open five days a week from 3pm 5.30pm to all secondary school pupils during term time.

New mayor looks to the city's future

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE NEW mayor of Chichester has said the time has come to revitalise Chichester.

Cllr Richard Plowman has been reelected to both the city council and district council and says there is hope for the city.

When he was Mayor in 2005, he brought the failing farmers’ market into the centre of the city, introduced Chichester in Bloom, which won four successive golds in the South and South East In Bloom competition, and revived the Gala.

He said: "Fourteen years later, the decline is all too visible. Footfall has dropped. Whenever I have pointed this out in council, I have been told to stop talking down Chichester and how resilient the city is.

"Retailing and high streets are under threat all over Britain, the impact here has just been felt later than elsewhere. We were not immune and we failed to plan accordingly. I hear it said that we are still doing better than other cities, with fewer shops empty. THe old guard remains in denial.

"So I believe it is for a purpose that fate has made me Mayor in 2019. THe time has come to revitalise Chichester.

"THere is hope. It is reassuring to see that BID and the district council officers realise that we need to give visitors a reason for coming to Chichester, other than to have cup of coffee and go to the bank.

"We need to follow the lead of towns such as Cheltenham and Harrogate, which thrive by putting on events that attract people from all over the country.

But – and here’s the rub - we have no place to hold them.

"THere is no hall or flexible facility, with a capacity of up to 3,000, where we can accommodate a large-scale antiques or book fair, art and craft event, hobby show, Comic Con, music festival, or concert by a leading touring band. We ought to be in a position to lure international names for the Festival of Chichester.

"We are also placed ideally as a centre to benefit from the £54 billion meetings and conferences market. Each delegate to a conference spends £250 a day in the local economy and usually stays for two nights.

Such an enterprise would generate many highly-paid jobs. THe Southern Gateway gives us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve this.

"THe district council's present masterplan lacks ambition. Gateway Plus, by contrast, includes 100,000 sq ft of space for events, performance, conference and exhibition. Aptly for a Roman city, and as a place to meet, it is called THe Forum.

"To revitalise itself and the local economy, Chichester needs the Forum more than anything else. With your support, I hope we can make it happen.

THe alternative is a further decline in our beautiful city." Cllr Plowman welcomed the opportunity to hear the public's views. You can book an appointment with the Mayor’s Secretary on 01243-788502.

Council marks historic date with release of D-Day book WEST SUSSEX Record Office has marked 75 years since the D-Day landings with the release of a new edition of a book.

Among the stories featured in the book, ‘D-Day West Sussex', is the story of Lieutenant-Commander Robert Lochner, of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, whose invention helped make the D-Day landings possible.

Lochner experimented in the garden pond at his home at Linchmere near Midhurst to create ‘floating sea walls’ (Mulberry harbours) which allowed supply lorries and other support vehicles to land safely on the Normandy beaches.

THe book is available at the Record Office in Orchard Street, Chichester, and from all public libraries in West Sussex.

Visitors to the Record Office will also be able to read the diary of a general, written just days before D-Day. THis, along with other poignant items, is on display in the reception area. In the diary, General Lashmer Gordon Whistler, of the Royal Sussex Regiment, described how he felt before D-Day: "A very strange feeling being in England waiting for the final campaign to start.

"I hope I am not going to be too frightened."

A Military Voices ‘listening turret’ is also available where visitors can hear first-hand accounts from veterans describing their experiences of the Second World War and other conflicts.

A screening of ‘THe Longest Day’ is being held at New Park Cinema on Sunday.

Walking in the bootprints of former soldiers on beach

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk BOOTPRINTS have been laid across Bracklesham Bay to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day. THe project came about following a request from the local history society for something to be done in Bracklesham to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Bracklesham was a key site in preparations for the invasion, as it was the base for Operation Fabius, which was basically the rehearsal for the landings.

Huge numbers of mostly Canadian troops were based there, and both Churchill and Eisenhower visited to observe the exercises.

Sam Tate, parish clerk of East Wittering and Bracklesham Parish Council, said: "We had worked closely with the local Royal British Legion and the local churches to mark the 100th anniversary commemorations for World War One last year, so we quickly came together to start planning for D-Day 75.

"I had been aware of the ‘THere But Not THere’ charity when we were planning the WW1 commemorations as they had a project at that time to produce perspex silhouettes to represent fallen soldiers, to be used inside churches and other public spaces to help communities remember the names of the men who did not come back.

"As one of the few ‘thankful’ villages

in the UK, we could not take part in that project, but when I spotted that they were planning a D-Day 75 installation, we were keen to get involved.

"Initially, the parish council were planning on ordering a small number of bootprints to place along the sea wall at Bracklesham, but when we placed the order, the charity got in touch with us to ask if we would work with them to be one of their ten regional focus sites given the important history of the area to the landings. Of course, we said yes!"

THese bootprints commemorate all those who died on D-Day and in the ensuing Battle of Normandy, as well as those who have died in subsequent conflicts and help raise funds for exservicemen and women.

Rowley Gregg, director of operations at the THere But Not THere charity, said: "We often forget the amount of preparation it took to organise the D-Day landings and Bracklesham Bay was a part of that crucial planning period as the site for the rehearsal of the Juno Beach landing.

"We wanted to place our bootprints here to remember those men who, in the weeks before D-Day, came to practice their part in the largest amphibious assault in military history.

"Many of these men may have died on June 6, 1944, and we want to make sure that every serviceman and woman who made the ultimate sacrifice is remembered."

In addition to the placing of the

bootprints, communities across the manhood have worked together to ensure a full programme of commemorative events.

Yesterday, at 9am, there was a service and wreath laying on West Wittering Beach.

THen at 11am, Bracklesham Bay, there was also a service, wreath laying

Council makes plans with yellow fish to improve the bathing water in Selsey RESIDENTS and visitors in Selsey will soon be visited by a shoal of printed yellow fish, as Chichester District Council introduces a national scheme to help improve bathing water in the area.

THe Yellow Fish project is a national campaign created by the Environment Agency, which involves stencilling a yellow fish symbol beside drains to raise awareness of the importance of keeping the country’s bathing waters clean.

THis bathing season, the council will be bringing the Yellow Fish project to Selsey. Yellow fish symbols will be stencilled on kerbsides near drains, using environmentally friendly paint.

THe yellow fish aim to remind people that any waste entering the drains may go directly to the nearest watercourse or beach, causing pollution and harming wildlife.

"We are delighted to be introducing this

important project to Selsey," said Cllr Penny Plant, cabinet member for the environment and Chichester contract services at the district council.

"Many people don’t realise that when they pour fat, oils or other waste down their drains or road gullies, this negatively affects our bathing water and wildlife.

"Campaigns like Yellow Fish really help to engage the community and make a positive impact on our local environment.

"Bathing water at Selsey achieved ‘Excellent’ status by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for the 2019 bathing season and it is important to us that work continues to ensure this status is retained.”

f Cheers to the canal volunteers

Canal thanks to volunteers

CHICHESTER Canal has been paying thanks to all its volunteers to mark Volunteer Week (June 1-7).

As a much loved and valued asset of Chichester, the canal offers a wide range of opportunities for recreation and relaxation on and off the water.

Last year, not only did they carry over 13,000 passengers on their popular boat trips, they also served over 39,000 customers at the cafe.

THe fact the canal is almost entirely volunteer-run often comes as a surprise to both visitors and residents.

But with 140 volunteers to rely on, an extraordinary range of activities are undertaken.

THese include canal weeding, towpath maintenance, skippering Kingfisher and Richmond to archiving historic photos, digital and print media marketing and serving customers in the cafe or on their boat trips as crew members.

Over the last year, the group ran almost 900 boat trips, took over 2,600 passengers on their ever-popular Father Christmas boat trips and sold over 3,000 row boat hires and canoe and paddleboard permits.

Trustee Mark Stoneham said: "We are enormously grateful to our

volunteers who give their time to help make the canal the very special place it is, enjoyed by so many residents and visitors every year.

"We know from the feedback we receive how much their contribution is appreciated, and we simply couldn’t operate without them. Volunteer Week is a perfect opportunity to recognise their commitment and for us to say a huge thank you’."

For anyone interested in volunteering, Chichester Canal will be at the Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester open air recruitment event in partnership with Chichester Cathedral. THey will be on the cathedral green today (Friday) from 11am to 3pm.

You can meet some of the canal's volunteers who will be able to answer any questions you may have.

Mark added: “We’d welcome any new volunteers who can join us, have fun and help create a great place for others to enjoy.”

For more information, visit: chichestercanal.org/volunteer or email: info@chichestercanal.org People interested are also encouraged to pop into the cafe at the Canal Basin.

Oliver comes top of the class

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk SCHOOL CHILDREN who were inspired by the Chichester Post have written their own reports on their SATS tests.

THe pupils in Year 6 at West Wittering Parochial Church of England School looked at online newspaper articles and felt encouraged by reading articles on the Post Newspaper's website.

THe children completed their reports and they were sent to the Chichester Post for feedback.

All the reports by the children were of an exceptionally high standard with good use of facts and quotes by fellow pupils.

However, Oliver Munday's report really stood out with a really news-worthy introduction to help grab the readers' attention.

SATS, or standard assessment tests, are used to evaluate children's educational progress at Year 6.

THe tests cover the three core subjects, English, maths and science. THe papers are sent away to be marked externally with results being available before the children leave primary school in July.

More able children are teacher-assessed to see if they are capable of reaching the higher level.

THe Chichester Post rewarded Oliver with Picturedrome cinema tickets as a prize for his excellent news report and all the children were given feedback and praise.

Oliver said: "I found the project really fun and it was a good piece to do because it was explaining how to deal with SATs

and not to worry about them. I am really happy to win the cinema tickets."

His report read: 'Some teachers don’t agree with SATs because the tests put so much pressure on the pupils and teachers but the government say they have to be done to measure how good primary schools are and help secondary schools decide what sets children should be in.

'My class teacher, Mr Weston, had a different view and stated: “I don’t have a problem with SATs but I think teachers

should be trusted to administer them in their own time, at some point during the year."

'In addition to this, my headteacher, Mr Matthews told us: “I think the Year 6s did really well considering the amount of work they had to learn for tests. THeir attitude was positive and they took it in their stride which is admirable considering the anxiety some children can feel towards tests."

'Like most schools across the UK, our school had a breakfast club which started

at 8am. THe breakfast included waffles, pancakes, strawberries, bananas, apple, toast, spreads and lots more. My teacher last year, Mrs Bowman, said: "Breakfast is always a highlight for Year 6 children in SATs week."

'It gave all the Year 6s a chance to chat and talk to each other about what tests they are worried about. A pupil from West Wittering Primary School, Jasmine, aged ten, told me: "My favourite part of SATs week was the breakfast because it was delicious."

Dream building becomes a reality as city hospice prepares to move in

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk IT'S ALMOST time for patients and staff to make the move to Bosham as the finishing touches are being made to the new St Wilfrid's Hospice.

Raising money through its Dream Building campaign, trustees and staff have worked hard to design a new hospice, fit for purpose.

THe official opening is expected to take place next month and the keys have now been handed over by Kier Construction.

St Wilfrid's plans for the new hospice came to fruition around the time of their 30th birthday. When they first opened in 1987, they received 188 referrals, in 201718, there were 888.

THey knew their current building and site was too small to meet current or future needs for their services.

THe new building is around double the size of the old hospice, with 18 patient rooms, compared to 14 in the current building.

THe new rooms have been carefully thought out, each with smart bed technology and extras such as locked away drug cabinets in each room, adjustable lighting and shower rooms.

Private family areas and 'snugs' can be found dotted around the hospice, a

unable to take beds in there.

She said: "THe idea of the new one is that it will be accessible to people on the ward or coming in to visit or people in the community.

"THe doors are wide enough that we will be able to bring a patient in who is in their bed which is just fantastic.

"One of the things about our current chapel is that we had these beautiful stained glassed windows that were built and commissioned when the current hospice was first built.

"Leaving the hospice after so long, trying to decide what comes with us and what doesn't has been quite interesting.

"But the chapel windows were top of the list, they absolutely had to come.

THere were windows behind which is why it meant they were easy to take them out of our current chapel and bring them in. Everyone is absolutely thrilled because they look better here as they are recessed so when the sun shines through they look spectacular. THis has meant such a lot to have these here."

Lorraine Corman, from Portsmouth, was welcomed for a tour of the new building after her mother was referred to St Wilfrid's Hospice.

She said: "In the final six days of her life, mum received care beyond anything we could have imagined.

"She was treated by love and passion by everyone she met.

THey gave her massages and bubble baths. THey sat with her when she was scared and they gave her endless cups of tea.

"St Wilfrid's allowed mum to maintain every ounce of her dignity at a time when she could have lost it all.

"THis new building has even greater space for families to be together in the lounge, snug areas and more private spaces, as well as much needed shower facilities when families know that going home for the night just isn't the right thing to do.

"It just highlights that St Wilfrid's are here to care for everyone that is affected by terminal illness."

chapel welcoming all types of faiths and religions and a Bradbury Living Well Centre housing therapeutic and social activities.

Trustee Lis Spence said: "It's absolutely fantastic. It moves the possibility of serving this area into a hospice fit for the 21st century.

"We've been in the existing hospice for just over 30 years and this hospice will secure our future for the next 30 years and beyond.

"THe initial challenge was finding a site which was suitable for us. We are thrilled with our architects, who have done a brilliant design so it looks like farm building set in a beautiful environment.

"We have been able to incorporate so many modern facilities. One of my favourites has to be the tea button when you are an inpatient you can press a button to alert the volunteers kitchen and someone will bring you a cup of tea without bothering the nurses.

"We spent years talking about the concept. We wanted to make rooms bigger to get families in but take the feel of the current hospice with us. We didn't want to lose that feel."

THe chapel in the current hospice was the last thing to be built on the last piece of land left.

Getting crafty at the festival

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk ARTS and craft fanatics took a trip down to West Dean for a three-day festival full of workshops, live demonstrations, classes and exhibitions.

Running from Friday to Sunday, the show included creative workshops in over 20 different skills, craft demonstrations from pottery to woodwork through to jewellery and drawing and painting classes on the lawn.

` Council clash THE FORMER leader of Chichester District Council clashed with the new leader during the first cabinet meeting held on Tuesday.

Cllr Eileen Lintill was forced to defend her choices for a panel for the development plan and infrastructure.

Cllr Tony Dignum who stepped down as leader after the elections in May, described the make-up of the panel as 'odd' due to the political balance.

THe panel does not have to reflect the political make-up of the council but Cllr Dignum, a Conservative councillor, said: "I was very surprised to see that the development plan and infrastructure panel has only four members from the Conservative group and six from the various minorities, including four from the Liberal Democrats, the same as the number from the Conservative group, which does seem very odd indeed."

THe ten councillors in the panel advise the cabinet on issues such as neighbourhood plans and the Local Plan.

Cllr Lintill, also Conservative, responded: "I don’t think it would be right to fill it with cabinet members.

"I don’t think it would be right to fill it with people from the national park and that is why we have made our decision."

THe cabinet went on to vote in favour of the suggested membership for all the panels, however, Cllr Dignum asked for his opposition to be recorded.

Abdollah Nafisi, expert woodworker from the BBC's recent series THe Victorian House of Arts and Crafts, and his partner, designer Kate Nafisi, were on hand, demonstrating elements of making a Sussex chair.

THe glorious Sussex sunshine saw hundreds of people visiting but many headed inside West Dean House, which is only open once a year, to witness its treasures.

Students from the college's School of Arts had created a number of artworks inspired by the life and work of Edward James which was featured inside the house.

Works included A Perfect Kind of Order, by diploma in art and contemporary crafts student Katharine Rabson Stark, which used the dining table to contest the notion of the self-contained, studiobased artist, disrupting the grandeur of the Edwardian set-dining table to show the reality of how 21st century women and mothers work as artists.

In the Music Room, Philippa Clarke (graduate diploma visual arts) created pastoral using the deconstructed keys and hammers from an old piano, together with a graphic score created using the Surrealist technique of frottage.

New workshops this year included modern brush calligraphy with Kirsten Burke, satirical cartooning with Private Eye cartoonist Guy Venables and automata with Stephen Guy. Visitors also had the opportunity to acquire a piece of unique artwork or handmade craft piece donated by one of the talented artists who tutor on West Dean College of Arts and Conservation short course programmes. Purchases fund bursaries to help aspiring artists and makers join courses they couldn't otherwise afford.

Children weren't forgotten, with workshops including UV resin jewellery, polymer clay jewellery, textured pinch pots and hanging mobiles and plaster cast and printmaking.

Selsey exhibition A NEW exhibition, which celebrates over 1,000 years of Selsey’s fishing industry, is set to be launched at THe Novium Museum in Chichester.

THe exhibition tells the stories of the local fishermen and women who help generate a staggering £1.5 million for the local economy each year.

Sea’s the Day: THe Story of the Selsey Fishery showcases the important role the Selsey Fishery plays, and highlights the need to make sure this vital industry thrives in the future.

THe fishing community of Selsey give the town its unique identity. THrough their voices, the exhibition provides a snapshot of the industry today and captures how it has changed over recent decades.

Visitors to the exhibition can enjoy a special ten-minute film featuring interviews with the Selsey fishing community, and three fascinating audio stories about Selsey’s ties to the sea told through the voices of fishermen and women, and their families.

THe exhibition, which opens on Saturday, June 15, and will be on show until March, 2020, is part of Sea’s the Day, a project developed in partnership between the Selsey fishery, Selsey Town Council, Chichester District Council and the Manhood Peninsula Partnership, which aims to raise people’s awareness of their local fishing industry and help preserve its future for years to come.

A successful grant application secured £35,800 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which has helped to support a series of activities to promote this important industry and re-engage the town with its fishing heritage, including: • Book packed with fascinating

stories and memories from the fishing community • A series of recipe cards with recipes from restaurants, pubs and cafes in Selsey and the Manhood Peninsula to encourage the use of locally caught produce • A unique film of the fishermen and women, both on board their boats and in their shacks on the beach in Selsey, which will be shown within the exhibition • An oral history record capturing the voices of 30 fishermen and women • An exhibition at THe Novium Museum showcasing the results of the project Cllr Roy Briscoe, cabinet member for community services and culture at Chichester District Council, said: “I’m delighted that the Sea’s the Day exhibition will help to share Selsey’s important fishing heritage with thousands of visitors to THe Novium Museum, locals and tourists alike.

"THe Selsey fishery is the heart of the town and I hope that people will be inspired to support the fishermen and women to help make sure that this important industry continues to thrive.

We’d like to thank the National Lottery Heritage Fund for their support of this important project.”

Andrew Brown, Selsey Town Council’s chairman, said: “THe Seas the Day project is about safeguarding and strengthening Selsey’s fishing industry through its heritage.

"THe exhibition is one part of its legacy, an opportunity to share and promote Selsey’s fishing industry so that we can protect its long-term sustainability.

"I hope it encourages residents and tourists to purchase locally sourced fish and seafood."

City MP nominates a business champion A CHICHESTER company has been nominated by the city's MP as her constituency responsible business champion 2019.

Gillian Keegan has chosen Covers, which will be entered into a competition to become the national responsible business champion 2019.

THere are a range of criteria that a business needs to meet to be nominated, such as community work, the environment and investing in employee training.

Mrs Keegan visited the company last year where she toured their Chichester shop, yard and workshops.

She said she was impressed with their efforts to be a more sustainable business and their extensive staff development programmes.

Rupert Green, chairman of Covers, said: "All of us at Covers are excited to have been nominated by our MP into this national competition.

"We are grateful to Gillian for recognising the hard work we do to support our staff, the local community

and the wider environment.

"We’re looking forward to representing Chichester at the awards ceremony in the House of Commons."

Mrs Keegan added: "THere are so many fantastic businesses in my constituency so picking just one to nominate was not an easy challenge.

"On my visit to Covers last year I saw for myself their dedication to sustainable business practices.

"THis, combined with their relentless support of apprenticeships and inwork training, left me really impressed.

Since 2016, they have trained 27 apprentices and last year their staff undertook over 1,000 courses.

"Covers have been in Chichester for over 170 years and they really work to support the community, especially local charities, matching staff fundraising and donating materials for projects.

"So I wish them the best of luck in the competition and am proud to have such a fantastic business to nominate for Chichester."

D-Day relics given listing SECOND World War concrete structures off Pagham and Selsey have been given special protection.

Components of Mulberry floating harbours and wartime tanks and bulldozers were added to the national heritage list for England to mark yesterday's 75th anniversary of D-Day. THe decision by culture secretary Jeremy Wright means access to the areas around the scheduled monuments is restricted to stop uncontrolled interference. It gives the items the same protection as Stonehenge.

Mr Wright said: "As we commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day, it is right that we continue to honour the memory of those who fought for peace in one of the decisive moments of the Second World War. It is also right to recognise the engineering and ingenuity that enabled that offensive."

Historic England chief executive Duncan Wilson said: "Evidence of D-Day planning, rehearsal and the actual operation is all around us, on our coastline and in our waters helping to tell the D-Day story. It is vital that we protect them as a memorial for future generations."

D-Day, on June 6, 1944, was the greatest combined land, air and naval operation in history. It was a massive assault by the Allies to invade Nazi-occupied western Europe. A total of 156,000 soldiers from Britain, America, Canada and France landed on the beaches of Normandy, with thousands of vehicles and their supplies.

Mulberry harbours played a large part in

making the D-Day landings a success. THey enabled enormous amounts of supplies and equipment to be supplied quickly to the invading forces.

One of the sunken breakwaters of the artificial harbours - known as a Phoenix caisson (outer) - can be seen off Pagham Beach, opposite the yacht club.

It is a rare type of steel reinforced concrete unit that was intended to be a sunken breakwater. It was sunk off Pagham, like all the others, to be towed to Normandy. It was re-floated but was re-sunk because its tug was unavailable.

However, stormy weather saw it swing round in the tide and become damaged.

A Phoenix caisson (inner), or rare steel reinforced concrete platform to connect to offshore pontoons, has also become a scheduled monument off Pagham.

Off Selsey, two Centaur cruiser tanks designed to fire at concrete targets, two armoured D7 bulldozers, a 4X4 car and a Jeep were lost on the night of June 5/6 when the landing craft which contained them capsized on the way to Normandy.

THey were intended to support the 3rd Canadian Infantry Divison on Juno Beach.

Mark Dunkley, Historic England's maritime archaeologist, said: "All the parts of the Mulberry harbours were stored off Pagham. THere would have been hundreds of them. THe area is still known as THe Park to divers. It was a phenomenal undertaking and it's fitting we commemorate the sacrifices that were made for D-Day on its 75th anniversary."

` USA Declaration is out on display

WEST SUSSEX County Council was delighted that the Sussex Declaration, a rare copy of the American Declaration of Independence, was displayed at No 10 Downing Street during the presidential state visit to the UK. THe declaration is one of only two contemporary handwritten ceremonial parchment manuscript copies, the other being the signed copy housed in the National Archives in Washington D.C. West Sussex county archivist Wendy Walker delivered a short presentation to Prime Minister THeresa May and President Donald Trump about the document and its historical significance.

Wendy said: "It was a huge privilege to speak to the President about this important piece of West Sussex history. It further demonstrates the close ties between the UK and the US, spanning more than three centuries."

Great efforts were taken to transport the document from the Record Office in Chichester to Downing Street. A conservation expert from the National Conservation Service was involved and a specially-designed exhibition case, previously used for the Magna Carta, was loaned by Hereford Cathedral Perpetual Trust to display the historic document.

County council leader Louise Goldsmith said: "THe significance of the Sussex Declaration cannot be underestimated and we are thrilled it has helped in demonstrating the country’s transatlantic ties."

f Cyclists using the new week

VOLUNTEERS have been thanked for their hard work in making the Chichester and Bognor Regis areas better.

THis year's volunteers' week, which ends today, has given Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester (VAAC) the chance to celebrate all those who give their unpaid time to help others.

More than 30 organisations that are looking for volunteers will be present.

Everyone who goes along will find a large variety of roles available.

Jenny Holmes, VAAC's senior admin and communications officer, said:

"It's important to celebrate volunteers throughout the year, as the time they give makes such a massive difference.

"But, in volunteers' week, we have the opportunity to say an extra big thank you to let our incredible local volunteers know just how much we appreciate them and all they do.

"THe practical help, as well as the passion, energy and enthusiasm that volunteers provide, really are invaluable and play a massive role in shaping and improving our local communities.

"If you have given your time to a local organisation this year, whether regularly or just as a one-off, thank you. We think you're amazing."

` Speed month WEST SUSSEX Fire & Rescue Service is urging residents to cut their speed as part of speeding prevention month.

Last year, eight people died and 123 were seriously injured on West Sussex roads due to speeding.

THe service is highlighting these statistics through an audio message to residents on its social media pages featuring the voice of a young child asking his father why he is driving so fast.

Nicki Peddle, head of prevention for West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, said: "Last year, we attended 684 road traffic collisions.

Attending these incidents is a big part of firefighters’ roles and we want to highlight the potentially fatal consequences of speeding.

If drivers maintain a safe speed, there is more chance of preventing a tragedy from happening."

Being caught speeding could result in: • Up to six points on your licence • Fine of up to 175 per cent of your weekly income • Driving ban or licence revoked (if you’re still within two years of passing your test) • Disqualification • Criminal record • Prison sentence • THe death or serious injury of either yourself or an innocent person Crews from West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service will be out supporting the campaign in their local communities.

College welcome the review of further education and funding THE CHICHESTER College Group has welcomed new review of post-18 education and funding, published at the end of May. THe long-awaited review, conducted by an independent panel chaired

by Philip Augar, makes a number of recommendations for Government to consider which would improve the quality and capability of further education (FE) across the country.

THe recommendations include: • THe reversal of the 17.5 per cent reduction in funding for 18-yearolds studying at FE colleges • Reintroduction of maintenance grants for disadvantaged students studying at either college or university at higher national diploma, or degree level • Full funding for level 2 and 3 qualifications for all adults (such as A-levels or vocational diplomas).

Currently, only adults aged 19-23 have these qualifications fully funded • THe creation £1bn capital fund for investment in further education estate and equipment Shelagh Legrave, chief executive of the Chichester College Group, said: “We welcome the findings and recommendations made in the Augar Review.

“THe review recognises the important role that FE colleges – like ours – play in providing education and training in our local communities.

"We deliver qualifications from right across the board, from GCSEs, A-levels, apprenticeships and diplomas to degree-level qualifications.

“THis review recommends fairer funding for students over 18, and seeks

to improve educational opportunities for people of all ages.

“If we are serious about improving the future of skills, the Government has to be serious about supporting colleges.

"Hopefully, the Augar Review is a step in the right direction.

“We have been encouraged by the statements released by Government in response to the report but we wait to see what this will mean in real terms.

“Colleges already contribute so much to the fabric of people’s lives – providing education and training to people of all ages, from across all walks of life, and creating an environment where everyone can achieve their potential.

“Imagine what we could achieve if we, as a sector, received sufficient funding and support.”

THe Chichester College Group, which is the largest college group in Sussex and manages Chichester College, Crawley College, Worthing College and Brinsbury College, educates and trains more than 20,000 students a year.

It was recently revealed to be the number one further education college group in Sussex for achievement rates, with results for 2017/18 for Chichester College, Crawley College and Brinsbury College showing as 86.1 per cent (above the national average).

THe group’s apprenticeship achievement rate ranked higher than other college apprenticeship provider in Sussex.

THe group also achieved the teaching excellence framework silver award for its higher education provision in 2018.

Cheers with book award for lecturer A UNIVERSITY of Chichester lecturer has won a national award for an anthology of stories which capture the comedies, tragedies, pleasures, pains and horrors of alcohol.

High Spirits: A Round of Drinking Stories is a collection of contemporary shorts edited by Karen Stevens, a senior lecturer in creative writing, and Jonathan Taylor.

THe book, which won best anthology 2019 at the Saboteur Awards, includes works by award-winning and new writers, some of whom are graduates of the university’s MA in creative writing.

Speaking of the award, which consisted of a trophy and bottle of gin, Karen said: “High Spirits is an intoxicating cocktail of stories that finds truth at the bottom of a bottle.

Jonathan and I are delighted to have

won this award and it was a pleasure to work with such talented writers.”

Alison MacLeod, novelist and visiting professor at the university, said: “THis is a marvellous collection that springs from life as it’s lived – on the pulse, in the street, and in our dreams – its stories are, by turns, poignant, tough, funny, lyrical.

“Above all, they capture the emboldening and destructive force of alcohol as its characters search, stumble, love, stagger and rise above.”

THe MA in creative writing at the university has been the inspiration for a number of successful writers and boasts visiting professorships from internationally-acclaimed authors Kate Mosse and Alison MacLeod.

Call for council to do more for town centres NIGHT-TIME economies in Chichester and Bognor Regis need to be boosted, Labour councillors have said.

THe party's group of county councillors has tabled a motion to call on more to be done to create a vibrant mix of markets, showcases, outdoor theatre and entertainment.

THe request will be debated at today's full meeting of West Sussex County Council and says an officer working group should be set up with partners from borough and district councils across the county, the food and drink industry and those with expertise to explore the benefits of an enhanced night-time economy.

THeir work would lead to a report to the environment, communities and fire select committee in six months and a final report next June.

Cllr Michael Jones (Southgate and Gossops Green), the Labour group's leader, said an initial attempt to raise the matter at the committee had been dismissed.

"THis is certainly not just about alcoholrelated activities, though that in itself is not to be ignored.

"But, in the spring and summer months, we have the weather to have much more of a Mediterranean cafe culture, where the shops stay open because people are enjoying events and the trade is there to justify it.

"While one hears a lot of lip service for this ideal, you don't see much accompanying it as firm action," he said.

At the earlier committee meeting,

Cllr Jones stated publicans, restaurant owners, clubs and food providers deserved the council's support.

"I'm always taken aback when I drive through towns like Chichester, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton and I see so many pubs closed or converted into a Tesco Express or some such.

"We have university towns in this

county which are incredibly quiet in the evenings, for the student populations we have.

"Crawley is not a traditional student town and it is my observation that footfall has fallen in the evenings compared to ten years ago and that would be my observation in Bognor Regis and Chichester, too, in that period."

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK

A summer season of the top films June 7 - 13

OSCAR-WINNING director Neil Jordan’s clever Greta follows kind-hearted Frances McCullen (Chloe Grace Moretz), who finds a handbag on the New York subway and does the not usual New York thing by returning it to its owner. This happens to be Greta (Isabelle Huppert), a lonely French woman who likes to play the piano and talk about her dead husband. Cue the start of a gentle friendship between a widow and a young motherless woman, right? Not remotely what Neil Jordan (The Crying Game) has made.

This twisting film joins rich pickings from the summer season programme including Head of Honey, starring Nick Nolte in a remake of the German version of a poignant drama alongside Emily Mortimer and Matt Dillon. Amadeus (Nolte) suffers from Alzheimer’s and embarks on a final journey with his grand-daughter, 10 year old Tilda (Sophia Lane Nolte).

Those who loved Columbia’s Embrace of the Serpent will be queuing to see Birds of Passage by the same team which takes the well-worn drug-trade, family-drama story but re-focuses it through a new and unique lens. Spanning across the 1960s, 70s and 80s in rural Colombia, the film charts the sharp rise and fall of a Wayuu family who become involved in the drug trading industry.

Claire Denis’s High Life is an extraordinary film: beautiful to look at, evocative in its emotional resonance and darkly challenging in its imagery and themes. A space ship's crew enroute to the outer reaches of the solar system grapples with the idea of whether they can trust each other. But just who is left on board? Starring Juliette Binoche as one and Robert Pattinson as another – and then there’s his baby daughter.

To commemorate D-Day’s 75th anniversary (June 6, 1944), The Longest Day will be screened on June 9, a mammoth, all-star re-creation of the D-Day invasion, by the legendary filmmaker Darryl F. Zanuck. With Henry Fonda and Richard Burton.

Ralph Fiennes’ extraordinary White Crow tells the story of dancer supremo Rudolf Nureyev’s dissatisfaction of his Soviet life and his defection during the Bolshoi Ballet’s visit to Paris in 1961.

Written by David Hare.

Don’t miss Terence Davies’ post-war drama, The Deep Blue Sea, based on Terence Rattigan’s play, starring Rachel Weisz as free-spirited Hester who’s trapped in a marriage to a judge (Simon Russell Beale) and yearns for Freddie Page (Tom Hiddleston), a troubled RAF pilot, a production of the play currently on at Chichester Festival Theatre. Rosemary Coxon, the cinema’s education officer, will give a Focus on Film’ s talk, Rattigan on Page and Screen, on the playwright’s powerful works including The Winslow Boy. (Talk on June 7, 1.30pm, film on June 8, 3.15pm).

This week’s Performance event, Romeo and Juliet, comes live from the Royal Opera House on June 11, with an Encore of the feuding Montagues and Capulets on June 16.

Pick up the Summer Season programme and the celebratory cinema Ruby Anniversary Magazine at the box office while booking tickets.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi Screened at Picturedrome Cinemas GARETH EDWARDS’ 2014 Godzilla reboot reminded audiences why the titular creature is often considered to be one of cinema’s greatest monsters. A good thing, too, as he’s needed once again – this time teaming up with the crypto-zoological agency Monarch to do battle against a smattering of god-sized creatures. Godzilla: King Of The Monsters marks the third entry in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, a shared cinematic universe that has been slowly building towards an epic clash between the roaring reptile and King Kong as depicted in 2017’s Kong: Skull Island. For the time being, however, Godzilla will have to contend with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah if he’s to make it that far. When these ancient superspecies – thought to be mere myths – rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance. Returning characters from the previous Godzilla include Sally Hawkins as Dr Vivienne Graham and Ken Watanabe as Dr Ishiro Serizawa, who are now joined

by The Conjuring’s Vera Farmiga and Straight Outta Compton’s O’Shea Jackson Jr. as members of Monarch as well as Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown as a child caught up in the conflict. Will they make it to the Kong vs Godzilla match of the champions, however? They’ll need to survive through King Of The Monsters first.

Max is so worried about protecting the boy that he develops a nervous tic. On a family trip to a farm, Max and mutt Duke encounter canine-intolerant cows, hostile foxes, and a terrifying turkey, all of which only elevates Max's anxiety. Luckily, Max gets some guidance from veteran farm dog Rooster, who pushes Max to ditch his neuroses, find his inner alpha, and give Liam a little more freedom. Meanwhile, while her owner is away, plucky Pomeranian Gidget tries

to rescue Max's favourite toy from a cat-packed apartment with a little help from her feline friend, Chloe, who has discovered the joys of catnip. And crazy-but-cute bunny Snowball gets delusions of grandeur that he's an actual superhero after his owner, Molly, starts dressing him in superhero pyjamas. But when Daisy, a fearless Shih Tzu, shows up to ask for Snowball's help, he'll have to summon the courage to become the hero he's only been pretending to be. Can Max, Snowball, Gidget, and the others find the inner courage to face their biggest fears?

Rocketman

Biography, Fantasy, Musical Screened at Picturedrome Cinemas SET to Elton John's most beloved songs, performed

by Taron Egerton, Rocketman is the incredible human story of Elton John's breakthrough years and follows the fantastical journey of transformation from shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into an international superstar. The epic musical fantasy tells the universally relatable story of how a small-town boy became one of the most iconic figures in pop culture. Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, and Bryce Dallas Howard join Egerton for the flamboyant biopic. Fresh from his impact in BBC drama Bodyguard, Golden Globe-winner Richard Madden portrays Elton’s former long-time manager, John Reid. Bell takes the role of Bernie Taupin, writer responsible for the lyrics of many of Elton’s hits, while Bryce Dallas Howard embodies Elton’s mother, Sheila. All would play integral parts in Elton’s rise to stardom before witnessing it begin to spiral out of control. Punctuated by triumph, despair, addiction, and redemption, Rocketman

Now serving humanity, they travel into orbit to repair a space station, but when a solar flare hits, Jean is nearly killed, and the team barely escapes. Slowly recovering, Jean begins to exhibit incredible power; her natural telekinesis and telepathy magnified one hundred-fold. She’s infinitely more powerful, but also far more unstable.

Wrestling with this entity inside her and slowly losing control, she’s manipulated by a shape-shifting alien (Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain) who pushes her towards the darkness. Embracing the Phoenix Force, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain, becoming a threat not just to the X-Men, but to all of humanity itself – and they must decide if one must be sacrificed to save the other.

WITH a flash, bang wallop, CAOS is back on the stage at the Alexandra THeatre in another popular musical theatre show.

THe Chichester-based amateurs will be performing David Heneker’s ‘Half a Sixpence’, which was a hit at the city's festival theatre in 2016, starring Charlie Stemp. Based on the 1905 novel ‘Kipps’ by HG Wells, ‘Half a Sixpence’ centres around Arthur Kipps, a young draper working in Folkestone, Kent.

Kipps, having been working class all of his life, comes into a fortune and has to decide which life to choose. THe story is aided by two love interests, Helen and Ann, who both try to persuade him towards a different life with a different girl.

Following the well-received professional revival, Half a Sixpence is a timeless musical with a plethora of rousing numbers certain to get toes tapping. From ‘Flash Bang Wallop’ to the titular ‘Half a Sixpence’, this show has something for everyone.

Performances are at 7.30pm with a matinee at 2.30pm on Saturday.

"W

elcome. A regular guide to all that’s best in food and drink around the Bognor Regis and Chichester area is available in Post Newspapers.

Whether you run a gastro pub, sell street food, are opening a craft beer bar, offer the highest quality cuisine or cook the finestflavoured food from around the world, the Post’s readers want to hear all about it.

Treat your dad this Father's Day Dad, daddy, father, pops, dadda, old man, pa. Whatever you call him, your dad deserves to be treated this Father's Day to say thank you for everything.

The best food for the best dad.

Father's Day is a celebration honouring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society.

THere are plenty of ways of showing your gratitude to your paternal parent from playing a game of crazy golf on Bognor Regis seafront, a walk along the sandy beach at West Wittering or even a bike ride from Pagham Harbour to Medmerry.

But we at Post Newspapers think one of the best ways to say thank you is with a delicious meal at one of the finest restaurants in the Post area, let's be honest, you can't give your dad the most amazing gift ever… he already has you, so a tasty meal out instead has to be the next best thing.....

From the best locally sourced food to make the perfect Turkish cuisine to authentically cooked Italian dishes, to modern cuisine and classy cocktails or perhaps a traditional carvery with easy listening music.

Turn over for some inspiration

Reina Kitchen Meze & Bar Authentic Turkish cuisine in the heart of Chichester

We only use the best locally sourced ingredients including the finest cuts of lamb and chicken, responsibly sourced sustainable fish and the freshest salads, vegetables and fruits, combined with traditional Turkish herbs and spices to create authentic Turkish cuisine, including family recipes and chefs specialities.

Everything is so authentically cooked and served in the traditions of the Amalfi Coast from where its inspiration springs that all you need is a dollop of sunshine to transport you directly to the Mediterranean.

THe former pub in Arundel's High Street is cosy and welcoming, although it has a quaint garden at the back for when those elusive rays of sun appear.

Apart from the necessary importation of specialist Italian ingredients to augment the dishes, meat, fish and vegetables are sourced locally and everything is cooked on the premises to order, including bread and soup, which changes daily.

Friendly and attentive staff are delighted to give details about any aspects of the menu, which changes frequently, and the extensive wine list available plus beers. A touching feature is the inclusion of Nonna's Meatballs, minced pork and beef balls served in a rich tomato sauce, created as a tribute to the chef's grandmother.

Any Italian restaurant offering six varieties of garlic bread takes the idea of choice seriously and certainly when faced with a dinner menu listing

and potted crab rillette with sourdough thins to start, and what a start it was. Cauliflower's popularity is skyrocketing in modern cuisine due to its previously unnoticed versatility and the guys at Woodies proved this with what reads to be such a simple dish but, in fact, packed a punch, the slightly charred smokiness from the barbecue style of cooking and paprika against the fresh and vibrant chutney would wake up anyone’s taste buds.

Served in a generously sized preserving jar, the crab rillette was smooth, light and cool. the sourdough thins were freshly toasted with a satisfactory snap as you bit into them and finished with the charred lemon on the top. Both dishes left us salivating for the next course.

Resting on a soft potato fondant, the main of Asian spiced fillet of sea bream's naturally sweet, mild white meat was complemented with the coconut broth, the soft tropical flavour was livened up with a sprinkling of freshly chopped red chillies

and crunchy green beans, the perfect blend of summery freshness and homely warmth for a sunny spring evening.

A chargrilled fillet steak was cooked to perfection, exactly as requested. It was soft and tender almost falling apart at the slightest touch of the knife with the rich and succulent, chargrilled taste filled your mouth and lasted long after the last bite was taken.

THick cut, triple-cooked chips were flavoured with rosemary and sea salt and the side salad was generously dressed with balsamic. Again, the perfect dish to eat on a beautiful spring evening.

THe name “Woodies” has been synonymous with delicious food, extensive wine options and a great atmosphere since the early 70s and the refurbished and freshly revived Woodies has not only embodied what makes it such a great venue, it's elevated it and made it better than ever.

Health&Wellbeing

Mindful ways to live your life well.

Do you have a thought you would like to share with others?

PREPARE the skin and body to be beach ready

DENISE KELLY A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.

Preparation to get glowing skin is key www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@ thewellbeingcompanyltd.com WE are all planning our summer holidays and getting very excited by the prospect of sunny shores and sangria!

Wherever you are taking off to this summer, or even if you have decided to stay here in the beauty of the UK you will be wanting to prepare for skin and body to be beach ready! My two best tips for instant skin health are this: 1. Skin brushing – If you haven’t got one already then go and buy one. You can easily find them on Amazon or in a good health shop.

Why do we not put more emphasis on what should ideally be a daily ritual?

You may well brush your hair every day, and you certainly brush your teeth, so why don’t we all brush our skin? It has so many benefits it’s ridiculous, such as creating good circulation and stimulating the lymphatic system which are crucial parts of good health.

THe lymphatic system is made up of organs and lymph nodes, ducts and vessels, and helps the body to detox naturally as many of the vessels run just below the skin.

Skin brushing not only creates stimulation, but exfoliation, too.

THe process of running a firm brush over the skin helps loosen and remove dead skin cells, creating a much healthier appearance and feel.

2. Coffee scrubs – THese can be very helpful in improving skin appearance and reducing cellulite, giving the skin a firmer look. THe caffeine in the coffee has a tightening effect and the massage and exfoliating benefits improves the condition and appearance of the skin.

It’s so simple and all you need to do is: Get a quarter of a cup of ground coffee, three tablespoons of brown sugar, and three tablespoons of melted coconut oil. Combine the ingredients to create a paste and store in a glass jar. It will harden when cooled, but just rubbing in your hands will soften again. Massage into your skin for several minutes every morning with firm pressure and you will see the difference almost immediately! If you continue to use over a two-week period, the results are wonderful.

THis all works best with a good exercise regime, drinking plenty of water and eating as clean as you can.

If you want to follow my seven-day subscription weight loss plan starting on June 17, (For a bargain price of £9.99) then please send me an email and I will add you to my mailing list.

It’s a foolproof way to ensure you lose 4lbs per week and this is what you will get for your buck, bringing you a slimmer, more confident, incredible new you in time for summer.

Two days in advance of your seven-day program you will receive your shopping list and a preparation video and email of what to expect over the next seven days.

Each day for seven days you will receive a 25-minute video which you can watch in different sections during your day.

Everything that you should eat, including superfoods, herbs, spices and beverages will be included in this diet plan. All your recipes will be super simple and effective! Have the body you have always dreamed of this summer.

Or if you need a private consultation because you have health concerns and would like your body scanned to see what your health issues are please contact me.

You may brush your hair everyday and you certainly brush your teeth, so why don’t we all brush our skin?

It has so many benefits it’s ridiculous!

CommunityNews&Views CHICHESTER Community THeatre’s popular free pop-up theatre performances will be returning as part of the Festival of Chichester 2019, featuring ‘A Witty Tribute to N F Simpson’, directed by Roger Redfarn and produced by Kathy Sykes.

To celebrate the centenary of the birth of the talented ‘comic genius’, Norman Frederick Simpson, Roger Redfarn has selected three of his short plays - ‘Gladly Otherwise’, ‘Oh’ and ‘One Blast and Have Done’.

According to Roger: “N. F. Simpson has been rather forgotten, but he helped spawn a generation of incredible comic talent and influenced the writing of Monty Python and Peter Cook among many others.

"I thought we should celebrate his centenary by performing a selection of his short works to showcase his talent, which is a comic brew from Lewis Carroll, W. S. Gilbert and THe Goons.

“He was one of the leading exponents of the ‘THeatre of the Absurd’, and was a major force in the satire boom of the sixties.

He wrote exceptional comedy for film and TV for the likes of John Cleese, Beryl Reid and Eric Sykes, as well as brilliantly funny plays for the theatre, many performed in the West End and at the Royal Court.

“No booking is required, people can just turn up, admission is free and all the venues are easy to get to as they’re all centrally located. It’s a fantastic opportunity to come along, take a break from shopping, support the festival and discover the comic genius of N F Simpson.”

Lasting in total about 25-minutes, the three short ‘A Witty Tribute to N F Simpson’ plays will be performed by Barry Smith, Pat THompsett, Roger Booth, Tiffin Jones, Barbara MacWhirter and Linda Hull and will take place on the following dates at various city centres venues: • Saturday, June 15, at St John’s Chapel, St John’s Street, PO19 1UU at 11am • Saturday, June 22, at Pallant House Gallery Garden, East Pallant, PO19 1TJ at 11am • Saturday, June 29, at the Studio at New Park Centre, New Park Road, PO19 7XY at 11am • Saturday, July 6, at Chichester Library, Tower Street, PO19 1QJ at 2pm

CONSULTANT urological surgeon Dan Magrill, from Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation Trust and West Sussex Urology LLP, is taking on not one but two local events this year- the Chichester Triathlon in July and the Chichester Half Marathon in October.

THe Chichester Half Marathon takes place on Sunday, October 6, and includes a mixture of road, cross country and cycle path terrain, taking in the historic sites of Chichester, before heading up the Trundle, and finishing back down Centurion Way. Mr Magrill explained: "As a team of surgeons, we are constantly looking for ways to improve local services and raising funds for this helps reach our goals. Local events are great and it’s always nice to see familiar faces taking part.

"We’re also keen to help UROLINK, an organisation that offers training and medical equipment across Africa to provide education and training to surgeons and medical staff in developing areas."

Charlotte’s residency will contribute to her MA degree. She will also support the work of the learning, education and participation department by contributing to the theatre’s programme of workshops and events and supporting young people taking part in the Arts Award scheme. THe residency will culminate in an exhibition later in the year.

Recipients are judged on the quality, quantity and recency of reviews submitted by travellers on TripAdvisor over a 12 month period.

To qualify, a business must maintain a consistently high TripAdvisor bubble rating throughout the past year.

THis is the sixth accolade for the campsit in East Wittering in the past year.

Managing director Simon Green said: “THis certificate of excellence is a recognition of the dedication of our hard working staff team and I would like to thank them for their efforts over the past year.”

THE quest to find a cure for the UK’s biggest cause of blindness was brought sharply into focus at the Chichester Macular Support Group’s recent meeting.

On Wednesday, June 5, the group welcomed Geraldine Hoad from leading sight loss charity the Macular Society, as its guest speaker. Geraldine talked to the group about the latest research into macular disease and current treatments for the condition.

Macular disease is the biggest cause of blindness in the UK. Nearly 1.5 million people are currently affected and many more are at risk. THe disease can have a devastating effect on people’s lives, leaving them unable to drive, read or see faces. Many people affected describe losing their sight as being similar to bereavement. THere is still no cure and most types of the disease are not treatable. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common form of macular disease, affecting more than 600,000 people, usually over the age of 50.

THe Chichester Macular Support Group meets on the first Wednesday of the month, 1.30pm-3.30pm, at THe Lounge, Pilgrim Court, Tozer Way, Chichester PO19 7LQ. Run by the Macular Society, in partnership with local people, the group is one of 400 of its kind in the UK. It offers vital information, encouragement and friendship to people who are affected by macular disease.

THe meetings are also social occasions where members can chat over a cup of tea or coffee.

Stella Black, Macular Society regional manager, said: “With around 300 people in the UK being diagnosed with macular disease every day, one of the questions we’re most frequently asked is: ‘What is being done to find a cure?’.

“As a charity, we’re fully committed to investing in research into macular disease and are currently helping to fund a range of exciting and innovative projects. THese crucial studies will help build a greater understanding of the disease and ultimately help us to find a cure.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming Geraldine and hearing more about how all of this vital work is progressing. And you don’t have to be a member of the group to attend – anyone is welcome.”

For more information on the group, please contact Stella Black on 07494 467 980 or email: stella.black@macularsociety.org

A BUS employee who recently completed an internal staff development programme has now taken a step up the career ladder after being appointed as assistant operations manager for bus operator Stagecoach South at its Chichester depot.

Jeetinder Mattu from Aldershot, known by his colleagues simply as 'Jet', will support the operations manager, Mike Armitage, to oversee the day-to-day running of regional operations, which includes looking after a fleet of 67 buses and a team of over 140 driving and supervisory staff.

Jet joined Stagecoach in 2012 as a driver in Aldershot. He then progressed to the training team in 2013 working as a driving instructor and later CPC trainer.

In 2018, Jet joined the Stagecoach staff development programme, a national training programme that seeks to encourage and support staff to learn and gain management experience, opening up career prospects within the company.

THe programme covers operations, human resources, finance, commercial and marketing aspects.

Jet, who is excited about his new role, said: "I learned a great deal from the staff development programme and I am looking forward to putting this learning into practice as we seek to grow our products and network to help our customers and communities across Chichester and Bognor Regis."

Gordon Frost, operations director, said: “I am delighted to welcome Jet to the management team. We’re committed to ensuring that we provide real opportunities for staff development and Jet's appointment is testament to the success the staff development programme can bring our employees and benefit the business overall. Jet has attained some valuable experience from the programme, which I am sure will help him in his new role.

"THe Chichester operation has grown considerably in recent years and I am certain that the management partnership of Mike and Jet will be invaluable on the continued success and development of the operation."

Chichester district’s role in D-Day - Part two

By Amy Roberts collections officer, The Novium Museum

f Troops storm ashore from Landing Craft Assault during Exercise 'Fabius', a major invasion rehearsal on the British coast, May 5, 1944 | Pic: Imperial War Museum THIS week's article continues to focus on the crucial roles that Chichester and its immediate surroundings played in the runup to and during D-Day. Mulberry harbours were developed during the Second World War. THese were floating artificial harbours which raised and lowered with the tide. THey made possible the unloading of large supply ships which required deep water and weren’t able to come in close to the shore. Mulberry harbours were invaluable in the aftermath of D-Day. Many caissons, which formed part of the Mulberry harbours, were sunk and stored off the coast of Pagham prior to being required in D-Day operations. Sinking the structures ensured they were hidden from spying eyes.

Once required, the structures could be floated and towed across the Channel in sections ready for assembly.

To begin with, re-floating of the structures didn’t go according to plan as the pumping equipment brought in was not up to the task, but the next day further pumping equipment was brought to site and the structures could be floated successfully. Unfortunately, not all of the caissons could be salvaged.

THe tugs to transport the sections to Normandy were not ready and one of the caissons had to be re-sunk. In the process it broke its back and sunk back into its original position. THe remains are still located off the coast of Pagham.

In their dairy entry for Saturday, June 3, L Harris of Selsey writes of the Mulberry harbours, not knowing of their function: "THe sea off here is full of fort-like erections, stretching from the shore almost to the horizon; nobody seems to know what they are for; they appear to be touching each other, and the whole gives the appearance of a factory town with tall chimneys all along the waterside."

From April 19-21, 1944, the future American president, General Dwight D Eisenhower,

stayed at THe Ship Hotel (now known as Chichester Harbour Hotel) in North Street.

Eisenhower was appointed in late 1943 as Allied commander for the European theatre and in early 1944 he joined the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF). It was at THe Ship that Eisenhower met with various officials and inspected nearby bases in preparation for D-Day operations.

By late May, 1944, all troops destined to land in Normandy were sealed in camps throughout the south coast in order to reduce the risk of potential security leaks regarding the impending mission.

THe last major rehearsal for D-Day, Exercise Fabius, took place at the beginning of May,1944. Not only was this the last but it was also the largest exercise to take place before D-Day. It was made up of six separate exercises and saw 25,000 troops land at a number of designated beaches on the south coast; the US 1st and 29th at Slapton Sands in Devon (Fabius 1 – in preparation for OMAHA Area landings), the 50th British at Hayling Island (Fabius 2 – in preparation for GOLD Area landings), the 3rd Canadian and Royal Berkshire Regiment at Bracklesham Bay (Fabius 3 – in preparation for JUNO Area landings) and the 3rd British at Littlehampton (Fabius 4 – in preparation for SWORD Area landings). Fabius 5 and Fabius 6 involved practising loading and unloading men and supplies for support missions.

Troops taking part in Fabius 3 embarked from Southampton and Gosport and landed at Bracklesham Bay. THe exercise was postponed by 24 hours due to bad weather and when it did finally begin it was hampered by rough seas. A great ‘canvas town’ sprung up surrounding the villages of Bracklesham and Witterings to house the troops.

THe strategic planning for D-Day operations was carried out in two locations, Southwark

f Mulberry harbours at Selsey | Pic: Imperial War Museum House, just North of Fareham, which dealt with the ground attacks and at the Tangmere sector operations room at College Hall, Bishop Otter College, now part of the University of Chicheste, which directed the airborne attacks. On D-Day and the days that followed the Tangmere operation room at College Hall controlled 56 squadrons from a total of 18 airfields.

In the early hours of June 5, General Eisenhower gave the order which would officially launch D-Day, after days agonising over the weather. THe exact wording he used is now hotly debated. But he set in motion the greatest taskforce the world has ever seen.

THe operation began on June 6, when Allied planes and warships bombarded German positions along the coastline, weakening their defences in order to make it easier for landing

troops to get onto land.

A total of 156,000 Allied troops landed by sea and by air onto five beachheads in Normandy.

THe exact number of those that lost their lives during D-Day remains unknown, as accurate record keeping was difficult under the circumstances. However, research by the US National D-Day Memorial Foundation has estimated a total of 4,413 Allied personnel lost their lives on D-Day. To mark the 50th anniversary of D-Day, a memorial was erected at West Wittering Beach car park in 1995. THe memorial is dedicated to those who trained in the area and who lost their lives in the liberation of Europe.

THe Novium Museum currently has a display in the First Floor Gallery about the role the Chichester area played in the D-Day preparations.

Double delight for Dragonflyers TWO trampolinists are jumping for joy after being crowned among the best in the age group in the country.

Sofija Kalnicenko and Rosie Budge, who train with the Bognor-based Dragonflyers club, produced a series of sensational performances when it mattered to qualify for the national championships.

THe duo now have an anxious wait for their place in the English Championships in Birmingham in September to be confirmed.

Kalnicenko and Budge continued their fine form with excellent showings at the National League South East contest in Burgess Hill, which resulted in them both coming home with medals.

First up was Sofija, whose display of eight different double somersaults in one day's competition proved her status as one of the UK's best junior trampolinists.

Aged just 14, Kalnicenko took silver at League One in the 15/16yrs female category.

She then went on to take an incredible bronze with her amazing 9s form scores at Super League, an event for females 15 plus up to and including senior women.

Kalnicenko's awesome score of 93.570 over

two routines in her first attempt at this level of competition gained her entry into the day's prestigious event the Milano Cup Here, the top eight performers of all ages and gender go head to head in a knockout tournament determining overall supremacy.

Sofija was one of only two females to qualify and she held her nerve against the senior men, reaching the top four with her awesome performances before being knocked out at the semi final stage.

Also medalling at National League was fellow Dragonflyer Budge, who produced two awe-inspiring routines to register a personal best score of 84.470.

It was enough to land her a silver medal at the l2 13/14yrs female event, just reward for her endeavours this campaign.

Both girls are awaiting confirmation of qualification to the English championships after their phenomenal performances at English qualifiers Telford.

Dragonflyers is an open club which allows people of all ages and abilities a chance to try out trampolining.

Training takes place at THe Regis School.

f Bognor celebrate their county cup victory

Bognor's pool squad lift cup BOGNOR'S pool players are cueing up for a shot at national glory after winning the county cup for the second time in three years.

Players from across the Bognor World Rules Pool League put their traditional rivalries aside to take part in the Sussex interleague Knockout Cup. Held at the Castle Club in Brighton, players from Brighton, Crawley, Horsham, Worthing, Mid Sussex and Littlehampton made up the ten team tournament.

Bognor were drawn into a group of five, where they came through top of the standings after winning all their games.

First up was a convincing 6-3 victory over Mid Sussex Qs. Two narrow wins over Horsham A (5-4) and Brighton A (5-4) then followed before another 6-3 victory over Horsham C ensured Bognor moved into the last four with a 100 per cent record.

THe semi finals pitched them against Worthing, where they emerged 10-6 victors.

It was then on to the final where

Bognor faced a tough Horsham A side.

Some good pool was played on both sides but it was the south coast side which emerged victorious, 10-8.

It rounded off an excellent competition for the Bognor side, who were led by Guy McQuitty.

Stand-out performances came from Rory Kay, who won seven out of his eight matches.

He was ably supported by Andy Walden (6/8) and Dave Rogers (6/8).

With the Sussex title secured once again, the Bognor team will now focus on the final couple of games left in the local league.

THe side will then assemble again in the autumn ahead of the national knockout in Great Yarmouth in October.

In the local league, competition for the top spots is fierce, with THe Lion Kings leading the way from Station Sure Shots by just one point with one match of the season to go. Lamb Steyne, in third, are four points further back. For more details, visit: brpl. leaguerepublic.com

VETERAN runner Christo Oosthuizen rolled back the years to run an excellent race and come home second in his age group at the Worthing 10k.

A cohort of 25 runners from Bognor Tone Zone took part in the race along the prom in what were hot and sunny conditions.

Brighton Phoenix runner Finn McNally was first home in a time of 30 minutes 39 seconds with Chichester Runners James Baker the first V40 runner home in 34:17, eighth overall.

But just a few minutes later over 50s runner Oosthuizen crossed the line after running an evenly paced race.

His time of 38:23 ensured he finished second in his age category, just ahead of Jack Penfold who finished fifth in his age category in a time of 38:45.

Chris Gallagher and Carolyn Stapley finished close together in times of 44:46 and 45:20.

Ian Bayley and Sarah Zacal helped each other round the course to finish in 47:42 while Glenn Penfold achieved his target by finishing in 48:58.

Kirstee Porter and Gary Smith both broke 55 minutes to finish in 53:44 and 54:49

respectively.

Rebecca Nicholl did record her personal best time of 58:22. Leigh Paige was happy with her result, taking 13 minutes off from the last time she ran the Worthing 10k.

Rachel George and Julie Ede finished in 1:03 and 1:04, Paula Russel and Juliette Garret ran sub 1 hour 10 minute times in 1:06 and 1:08.

Allan Brown and Beth Suter ran the whole race together and crossed the line in 1:13 just ahead of Tina Ede. Catherine Hemsley took five minutes off her personal best by breaking the 1 hour 30 minute mark in a time of 1:29.

Lisa Broad and Nic Baglee ran the race together and crossed in 1:48.

Elsewhere this weekend Sam Yates ran the Romsey 5 Mile beer race, where instead of being awarded a medal you get a lovely pint glass (filled with beer of course) and a cake.

Inspired by the promise of a hard-earned drink at the end of the line, Yates finished in a time of 49 minutes 26 seconds.

Across the county border in Hampshire, Daniel Hughes ran the very hilly Ditcham 10k in Petersfield, completing the course in a time of 1 hour 13 minutes.

Rocks lay the groundwork for new season

me am f Tina Shaw-Morton, of Woods, with Rocks players

BOGNOR'S preparations for next season continue off the pitch at great pace.

THose passing Nyewood Lane in recent days will have seen maintenance to the hallowed turf taking place at Bognor's ground.

It's all part of essential work to ensure the pitch is ready for the club's first pre-season home match against National South side Havant & Waterlooville on July 9.

THe club is also making preparations for its sponsors draw on June 18 with businesses from across the area being urged to back the club.

Tina Shaw-Morton is joint managing director of Woods Travel Ltd, the Bognor-based business that has been the club's main shirt sponsors for the 2018/19 campaign.

She says the upcoming sponsors' draw, which takes place at Seasons, Nyewood Lane, provides a great chance to enjoy awareness for companies that enter.

She said: "THe link with the Rocks has been one which has been successful in raising awareness for our business. Yes, we're an established company with an excellent reputation and we have a strong brand recognition already but we have valued the additional profile

we have enjoyed through our association.

"I would urge any business in the town to think about getting behind the club through the various sponsorship deals available."

For a one-off set-up fee of £100 to cover the initial print charge and a continuous agreement of £25 a month until you say when you wish to cancel, businesses can be pride of place pitchside or down "THe Lane" every match day.

THe club's commercial manager, Dave Robinson, said: "We’d like to invite businesses and individuals to the draw in which the main prize is first team sponsorship.

"THis includes four VIP home season tickets with reserved seats, full boardroom hospitality and also PA mentions on match days as well as a feature on our website and in the match day programme.

"An added bonus this year is that if you enter we are happy to offer your business exposure on our thriving digital channels.

“It promises to be a night to remember, with top class entertainment and a mouthwatering buffet. And, of course, the bar will be open!"

For more details, contact David on 07876 497929.

Bognor eye a promotion push BOGNOR CC are poised and primed for a promotion push as the club eye a top two finish in Sussex Division Two. Despite a proud history, the Hampshire Avenue side are yet to pay in the top division of county league cricket since the Premier Division was created in 1999.

But those 20 years of hurt could be about to end as Bognor have assembled a side which look capable of sealing a top two finish.

Ryan Maskell's squad have begun the season well with three wins from their first five matches which leave them fourth in the standings.

With a game at bottom side Goring tomorrow (12.30pm) Bognor will be looking to close the gap on the top two with a third of the season gone.

Maskell will hope his side can build on their good showing last weekend when they cruised to a comfortable victory over Ifield at the Regis Oval.

After the visitors won the toss and elected to bat, Bognor made a good start with the ball as Sam Adams (3-41) and Josh Sargeant (3-36) made early inroads.

But Ifield rallied thanks to a 116 run stand from Prasansana Jayamanne (90) and skipper Jack Groves (52).

Bognor then hit back, taking the final six wickets for just 45 runs as Zimbabwean overseas player Roy Kaia (4-31) found some purchase on the dry pitch to dismiss the visitors for 197 with one over to spare.

In reply, Bognor made the worse possible start as opener Taylor Jaycocks departed for a duck with just ten runs on the board.

THat brought Joe Ashmore to the wicket to join captain Maskell and the pair set about laying the foundations for a successful run chase.

Together the pair put on 68 as Bognor

slowly chased down the score.

By the time Maskell fell for 33 after being trapped in front by the impressive Jayamanne, the home side still needed 120 to win, But Kaia (51* from 63 balls) and Maskell (83*) showed great composure to guide Bognor home with eight wickets and more than six overs to spare.

Away from the league, the club are also

making good progress in the county T20 cup.

An excellent performance against league rivals Billingshurst saw them emerge victors by 28 runs.

Captain Maskell was the standout performer with a quick-fire 102 while Sargeant took 3-16 off his four overs.

THe next round sees them face Middleton CC in a tasty local derby on June 23.

By Tim Ridgway

IN the latest Q&A with those involved with the Rocks behind the scenes, we speak to general manager Simon Cook.

What does the role of general manager involve?

THe football club is a medium-sized business and needs to explore all possible ways of raising revenue or reducing costs, as all profit that is generated is ploughed back into the club.

THis assists us in attracting better players and also we have a continuous improvement plan to further develop the stadium which means raising even more money.

THe role of general manager is to develop a team that can achieve this by working together in an organised and disciplined way.

Over the summer months, do you still have tasks that need completing?

In some respects there is actually more to do during the summer than during the playing season.

Robbie, Jack and team are busy looking for new players and negotiating with those they wish to keep at the club but I have to do their registrations, contracts, get international clearance when appropriate, ensure their medical details are accurate etc.

Apart from the playing side, there is an enormous amount of other paperwork that is required.

We have to affiliate all our teams with the FA (this year we will have 31 teams from under 7 up to a veterans team, and including several ladies teams), renew all of our insurance policies, ensure we have correctly entered the various cup competitions before cut-off dates, liaise with the Bostik League over fixture arrangements and many other tasks.

We are also heavily involved with organising the annual sponsors draw and renewing agreements for advertising boards at the ground. THen there is the matter of checking that all of our invaluable volunteers are able to continue in their roles for next season.

What makes a good nonleague general manager?

Obviously a passion for football at our level is very important. Apart from the playing staff, everyone at the club is a volunteer. We do it because we want to see the club thrive and perform as well as possible.

I believe the role requires a high level of attention to detail, and a thorough understanding of the various rules and regulations that apply within the FA and our league. I have been doing the club secretary role for 17 years and am still learning!

THe club's general manager is responsible for all the operational roles within the club. It is important to build a team of people as passionate as I am who can do a very effective job in managing their areas of expertise.

THe financial management of the club is incredibly important and I'm grateful Jack agreed to hand over this responsibility to me. He simply no longer had the time to fit it all in with his many other responsibilities within football.

Amie Whalen has kindly offered her services in this area and over the next few weeks we will be reorganising how we manage this function.

Other very important areas are commercial (David Robinson and Laura Denby); stadium maintenance, (Michael Hall); groundsman (Brian Quinnell and John Denby); Seasons (Dij Herbert) and PR and social media (Carl Eldridge and Ian Guppy).

Muitt top of the Rocks wishlist for next year

Chi look to make it three in a row at Billingshurst CHICHESTER Priory Park will be hoping their bowlers continue to shine as they take on high-flying Billingshurst in Sussex Division Two tomorrow (12.30pm).

Matthew Geffen's side have found their stride in recent weeks after a poor start to the season.

A 63-run victory over Goring last weekend was sealed after a fine display by the Priory opening bowlers.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Chi started solidly with Abhi Raut (23) and Simon Hasted (24) laying the foundations at the top of the order.

But a hat-trick from Kellen Carmichael (4-34) ripped a hole in Priory's top order and left them struggling on 32-4.

It was left to the Priory tail to wag with Joe De La Fuente (31) helping them to a score of 1609 in their 45 overs.

Defending a small total Chi needed a good start - and they got one through Dan Joseph (4-19) and Geffen (4-12) After being reduced to 8 for five, the visitors managed to rebuild thanks to Stuart Carter (43). But eventually Goring were dismissed for 97, ensuring Chi recorded backto-back wins.

In Sussex Premier Division, Middleton will be looking to bounce back to winning ways as they head to Brighton &

Hove this weekend (11.30am).

It will be third versus fourth at the Neville Sports Ground as Sean Heather's side look to register their first victory in three matches.

Middleton came out a narrow second best against Preston Nomads as they pushed the title challengers all the way.

Batting first, excellent performances from opener Harry Hovey (48), Mahesh Rawat (78*) and Mason Robinson helped them to a score of 239 for 7 from their 50 overs.

In reply, Nomads got off to a strong start and Middleton struggled to stop the home side from scoring as Usman Khan (63) and Dan Phillips (70) saw them home with four wickets in hand.

In Division THree West Pagham welcome West Chiltington & THakeham to Nyetimber Lane tomorrow (12.30pm) looking to keep up the pressure on those above them in the table.

Stuart Hanks' side suffered their second loss of the season last time out falling 45 runs short in a high-scoring match against Roffey 2s.

Rico Webb (4-51) was the star performer with the ball as the visitors scored 265 all out with Hanks (54), Ryan Barratt (51) and Justin Scott (52) contributing as Pagham fell short, reaching 220 all out.

Sportinbrief î ?

Football CHICHESTER City Ladies skipper Lauren Cheshire has announced she will be playing in different colours next year THe right back was one of a number of instrumental figures in guiding the Oaklands Park side to its best ever season.

heart that I announce my departure from [City].

"I've had an incredible journey over my six seasons at this club. As a team we've achieved some amazing goals most people said we couldn’t."

BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce has confirmed he hopes a host of familiar faces will return to the Nye Camp next year - with last year's top scorer Jimmy Muitt top of the retention list.

THe Rocks supremo has spent the first few weeks of the postseason working with coach Robbie Blake on planning for next season.

After a disappointing 14th place finish in Bostik Premier, the aim is to put Bognor in with a chance of launching a promotion push.

So far, the only confirmed signing is left sided defender James Crane, who re-signed from local rivals Worthing.

But Pearce has confirmed that he has offered deals to a number of last year's squad.

THis includes Harvey Whyte, Muitt, Doug Tuck, Keaton Wood, Chad Field and Calvin Davies.

Young defender Ashton Leigh has also been offered a deal.

Pearce said he expected to hear back from those players in the coming days.

But the veteran manager vowed there would be less than an overhaul and more of a squad rebuild as he pieces together a team to challenge.

He said: "We need a freshening up of players.

"We have offered terms to the

players we would like to keep from last year.

"We will start meeting them next week. Once we know where we are with them, then we will know what we need and what we don't need."

Of the seven players on the retention list, many fans will hope to see the return of Muitt next season in the white and green of Bognor.

Playing largely in a central role, the former Brighton youngster found form at the turn of the year.

In total, he bagged 26 goals in 40 games and it was his scoring contribution which was a big reason for the Rocks' challenge for a playoff spot.

But Muitt's injury and the departure of on-loan Portsmouth striker Dan Smith coincided with Bognor losing form and eventually sliding down the table.

Also key to the Rocks will be captain Whyte, who has indicated he will stay at Nyewood Lane, and Tuck, who is rated as one of the best ball-playing midfielders in the division.

At the back, Field is likely to be nursing an injury at the start of the new season while Pearce will be hoping that Davies, who was out for large periods of the last campaign, is back to his rampaging best on the right.
