High rates in district Plentycrime of FREE Parking

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk

COUNCILLORS have admitted more must be done to tackle increasing crime rates in Chichester.

At a full council meeting of Chichester District Council on Tuesday, cabinet member for community services and culture, Cllr Roy Briscoe, said the council

Bognor Road, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 1EJ Tel. 01243 756170 BrickKilnGardenCentre

must keep pushing the police to do more to prevent crime in rural areas.

It came after councillors discussed the annual report of the council's overview and scrutiny committee, when the increase in crime rates was mentioned.

Cllr Dr Kate O'Kelly said she was worried after reading the report.

She said: "I'm concerned about the reported crime.

"I think our residents would be very

concerned when they see that the year before last, the percentage increase was 9.8 per cent and the last year was 10.9 per cent.

"I think that's an area of significant concern. I know that the overview and scrutiny committee has looked at it but one of my suggestions is that the weak areas could go to overview and scrutiny committee to be looked at again.

"Just because we have looked at the

crime last year, we could possibly look at it again because it is something that is worsening."

Cllr Briscoe said tackling crime was close to his heart. "As such, I want to make sure we are the low crime area that we should be.

"I am concerned about the crime figures very much and I will be speaking to our crime commissioner about it."

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk COUNCILLORS have agreed to the licence for a Prosecco festival in Priory Park.

As reported in last week's Chichester Post, The Friends of Priory Park led to objections to a premises licence being granted to Arena Sports Live Ltd to use the park from September 27 to 29.

At an alcohol and entertainment licensing sub-committee meeting, councillors approved the plans but for only one year instead of the proposed five.

Festival organisers said the event was designed to target a female and family audience, with a range of romantic comedies, child and family-suitable films on a big screen.

Music will be played at the bars on site and there will be sports activities in an adjoining area.

An attendance of 5,000 people is estimated over the three days for the festival which will occupy all of the park eastwards from the Guildhall.

Last October, lederhosen and dirndlclad guests arrived at Priory Park to enjoy a festival of beer, pretzels, bratwurst and music.

The world famous Oktoberfest hit the city of Chichester with German beers in Steins, Oompah bands, pretzels and Bratwurst, a Bavarian-style beer hall and games and competitions.

However, residents voiced concern after incidents occurred in St Martin's Square following the event.

In his letter of objection, chairman of the Friends of Priory Park, Philip Robinson, said there was no confidence the applicant could meet the licensing objectives covering prevention of crime and disorder, public nuisance and

Tangmere man sentenced after vicious partner attack A MAN from Tangmere is starting a nine-year prison sentence after admitting a vicious attack on his partner which left her with a broken neck.

On Tuesday, July 23, at Lewes Crown Court, Frank Smith, 50, a motor dealer, of Canberra Place, Tangmere, was sentenced after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent, to his ex-partner at her home in Pulborough in October, 2018.

The court and prosecution accepted his plea to grievous bodily harm on day two of the trial.

The woman, who is in her forties, sustained a broken neck in several places, facial injuries and bruises and is still undergoing treatment 10 months later.

Detective Constable Lee Turner, of the West Sussex Safeguarding Investigations Unit, said: "This was a distressing assault causing lifechanging injuries to the victim. The investigation was complex and I am pleased that justice has been done for her.

"As well as the nine-year sentence,

the court also gave Smith a restraining order to last indefinitely, prohibiting him from having contact with the victim or asking anyone else to contact her on his behalf.

"Anyone in such a concerning situation can be confident in contacting us at any time and arranging to talk in confidence to experienced investigators, either online or by calling 101."

Charity shop urges city to reduce waste

f Bianca is asking people to reduce their clothing waste

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A CHARITY shop in Chichester is urging customers to say yes to second-hand clothing in a bit to reduce waste.

The Oxfam shop in South Street claims 300,000 tonnes of used clothing is sent to landfill every year and needs to be reduced urgently.

The charity saves 12,000 tonnes of clothing from being dumped each year and is now inviting shoppers to join in the fight against fast fashion.

Shop manager Bianca Bulloch said:

"Oxfam offers you a way to help reduce the harmful effect of ‘fast fashion’ on our planet and its people.

"By buying and donating your clothes through Oxfam shops you can give clothes a second chance – increase their lifespan, while protecting the planet, and raising money to help the poorest people around the world."

Oxfam has been recycling clothing since 1974, when it became the first charity to develop its own warehouse for recycling and reusing textiles.

The Wastesaver warehouse in Batley, west Yorkshire, deals with items that don’t sell on the shop floor and

redistributes them for sale elsewhere.

Bianca added: "We work hard to ensure that nothing donated to Oxfam goes to landfill. If it doesn’t get sold here in Chichester, it could end up in one of our pop-up festival shops, specialist vintage shops, or the Oxfam online shop.

"By buying and donating your clothes through Oxfam shops, you can help to protect our planet, while helping the poorest people around the world to escape the injustice of poverty."

Approximately £6.4m is raised per year from selling clothing in Oxfam shops.

This is enough to provide clean water for over 2 million people during a drought.

"It's basically because we are mainly a rural area. And most of these crimes seem to be targeted to rural car parks with a serious increase in crime against vehicles parked in the car parks.

"There has to be things that Sussex Police can do about it. I think we just need to push and keep pushing until we do get some action in the rural areas."

Cllr Clare Apel then said: "Just a message to Cllr Briscoe. We did ask the Police Commissioner to come to a meeting and she refused so I just hope you have better luck."

Scrutiny is the way in which nonexecutive members of the council hold the cabinet to account.

They do this by reviewing existing council policy or decisions and by commenting on the development of new policies before the cabinet approves these.

In some cases, they may ask for a cabinet decision to be re-considered before it is implemented to make sure all possible outcomes are thought through. These are called call-ins.

A number of task and finish groups are set up to carry out reviews in more depth and to report back to the main

committee.

A community safety review task and finish group held two meetings in February, 2018.

Cllr Eileen Lintill, the council’s representative on the Police and Crime Panel, emphasised the main purpose of that panel in holding the Police and Crime Commissioner to account.

Acting Chief Inspector Kris Ottery of Sussex Police outlined some priority partnership work around serious organised crime.

The task and finishing group reassured the Overview and Scrutiny Committee that the required level of scrutiny of the Community Safety Partnership had been achieved and its performance was good.

There was evidence of effective partnerships working well in the district.

It was agreed that next year’s review should focus on cyber-crime, drugs and the impacts of any county council budget cuts on areas the council may be responsible for.

The Overview and Scrutiny Committee is to ask Police Crime Commissioner, Katy Bourne, for a detailed account of how her increase in funding was being spent in the Chichester district.

` Stolen post A ROYAL MAIL trolley, including its contents, stolen while it was being used on a delivery round in Selsey, has been recovered.

A postman on a round in the town on July 12, who left the trolley padlocked to a lamp-post while delivering letters, was shocked to discover when he returned that it had been taken.

It was reported the occupant of a van had driven up to the trolley, cut it free and then loaded the carrier into the vehicle before driving off with it.

This week, a spokesman for Royal Mail said: “The safety and security of all mail is of paramount importance to Royal Mail.

"We have recovered the trolley and are now helping the police with their investigations, as we aim to minimise any impact on affected customers.

"All customers with any concerns about their mail should contact customer services on 03457 740 740."

City's hospital sees increase in violence

BY ALICIA DENNY alicia.denny@sussexpost.co.uk INCREASED levels of unacceptable behaviour at the accident and emergency department of St Richard's Hospital, Chichester, have led to increased security measures.

Staff panic alarms, new security doors, improved CCTV and more security staff are among the actions being taken.

A man was arrested on July 15 after a computer screen on the reception desk in A & E was pushed over, which, according to a member of staff who contacted the Post, was the latest in a series of incidents in the department.

The reader said some staff felt their concerns were not being treated seriously enough by management and there were many potential threats from patients and people accompanying them.

She said: "A & E is flat out all the time but now it is a place of safety for mental health patients with more people in crisis.

"Some don't accept waiting, while others are intoxicated or on drugs.

Something serious is waiting to happen."

Managing director at Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Amanda Fadero, said action was being taken to address the issues in the A & E department.

“All abuse of NHS staff is unacceptable and we have a zero tolerance approach to assault.

Thankfully, such cases are rare when compared to the hundreds of thousands of patients we care for every year," she said.

"However, one assault is one too many and we will always work closely with police and prosecutors to secure the toughest possible sanctions.

“We encourage our staff to report all incidents so that we can fully investigate and take actions to improve safety for those working in our hospitals. We know rising levels of abuse are a concern for our staff and it is quite right that they expect us to do all we can to protect them while they care for others.

“Unfortunately, our A & E departments experience higher levels of unacceptable behaviour which is why we have additional security measures in place.

"At St Richard’s Hospital, this includes enhanced 24/7 security presence, new secure doors, improved CCTV, staff panic alarms, mandatory conflict resolution training and the introduction of a more protective environment for staff.”

A trust spokesman confirmed a new bracket had been ordered to secure IT equipment to the reception desk in A & E. Responding to claims made to the Post of other incidents, he said staff were encouraged to report all incidents on the trust-wide incident reporting system to enable full investigations, actions and improvements to be made.

No such reports had been made in relation to the alleged threats.

f The former HMV site

Shoppers will see the return of chain pound store in city centre A MAJOR pound store has confirmed it will re-open in the city just two months after it closed.

Poundland in East Street, Chichester, shut up shop on May 11, confirming that the closure came after a dispute with the landlord.

A spokesperson at the time said: “We love being in Chichester but the landlord has negotiated a deal with a different retailer.

“We’re sorry for the disappointment to our colleagues and customers.

We’d love to return if we find a suitable location.

“Our colleagues are still in consultation, but where possible, we’ve tried to accommodate the 18 colleagues from the store to nearby locations.”

The retail giant is not set to take over the former HMV store at 7-8 East

Street.

Chichester’s branch of the music shop was confirmed as one of the stores to be closed in February after the company went into administration.

Canadian firm Sunrise Records emerged as the buyer of the collapsed music chain, beating competition including from Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley.

The firm bought 100 stores out of administration, securing 1,487 jobs.

But 27 stores still closed, including the one in East Street, resulting in 455 redundancies in total.

A spokesperson for Poundland said: "We're delighted both for colleagues and customers, to be able to make a swift return to Chichester later in the year. We've pulled out all the stops to find new premises."

New dog park in the district allows pets to roam safely

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A NEW park for dogs has been opened in the district to allow for safe dog walking and the protection of wildlife.

Chichester Secure Dog Activity Park and Training Centre has been designed specifically to allow safe and secure dog walking in addition to promoting biodiversity in the area.

In creating the park, the owners were adamant that the four-acre site, set within the Manhood Peninsula, worked in harmony with the nature reserve next to it.

To that end, they consulted the Manhood Wildlife and Heritage Group for their recommendations on how to protect the natural species and habitat and encourage wildlife to flourish.

More than 150 native trees and shrubs will be planted this year and a ten year biodiversity plan is being drawn up to ensure the area remains protected.

Owners Andy and Jodie Sheppard decided to embark on the project following years of experience with their lovable yet unpredictable dog.

"Dog walks used to be a nightmare and we often felt at a loss because there were no safe and attractive spaces which allowed us some freedom," said Jodie. Here, all dog owners, regardless of their dog’s temperament or recall ability, can experience the joy that off-

lead walking in a beautiful environment brings."

The park has been carefully mapped out using a six-foot deer fence, avoiding areas where dogs could disturb the natural habitat. A meadow area will only be cut once a year to promote lizards, butterflies, bees and other insects. The result is a secure and attractive park which allows dogs to run and roam freely without damaging the wildlife.

The dog park will have a separate flat grassed area for dog training classes with stimulating activities such as log piles for scent games.

Puppy School Chichester dog trainer Louise Williamson said: "Having a secure dog park provides a safe place for dogs of all ages, be it puppies gaining confidence off-lead, dogs that need their own space, dogs without recall and it is a great place to meet friends in a private four acre field.

"Chichester Secure Dog Park has plenty of interesting spaces to explore - nature trails, a training area and agility stations around the park. It is the perfect venue to be holding puppy and dog training classes and social walks."

The ten year biodiversity plan includes growing out the pasture that has become poor grade, introducing more nesting sites and installing vital monitoring equipment to track the wildlife population. This will create future opportunities to increase and

protect the natural species.

Andy added: "We are really excited about this project. Not only does it provide a need for our local dog owners, but it stands to make a hugely positive contribution towards protecting an

f The burnt out tumble dryer | Pic: West Sussex Fire & Rescue

Fire service highlights importance of testing home smoke alarms regularly A CHICHESTER family had just minutes to get out their home when their tumble dryer caught fire.

Allie Sexton and her fiancé, Darren Muckle, and two children made it out safely after their smoke alarm alerted them that something wasn’t right.

Now, West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service is calling on all residents to make sure they have a working smoke alarm and check it at least once a week to ensure they have the earliest possible warning of fire.

Two crews from Chichester Fire Station were mobilised to tackle the fire at Oving Terrace in Chichester on Wednesday, July 10, shortly after 11.15pm.

They found smoke issuing from the property and a fire in the family’s tumble dryer, which they extinguished using one high pressure hose reel, a covering jet and a safety jet. They also used two

sets of breathing apparatus, and removed the tumble dryer from the property to ventilate it.

The family have since been moved to alternative accommodation. While the cause of the fire remains under investigation, the fire service is urging residents to check their appliances to ensure they have not been recalled.

Allie said: “Our smoke alarm saved our lives, because if that hadn't gone off it could have been a lot worse. When we realised the tumble dryer was on fire my concern was for my family and getting everyone out of the house.

“This could happen to anyone. You think it's not going to happen, but it can happen to you in a flash."

Bev celebrates 20 years in city

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A RECRUITMENT agency in the city centre is celebrating 20 years in business.

On Wednesday last week, the team kicked off a day of celebrations with a cake and balloons - a huge surprise to managing director, Beverley Kent, who had no idea the team at Futures were preparing to recognise her achievement.

Turning the key in the office door at 38 South Street on July 17 was the beginning for Futures Recruitment Services.

Bev launched the business onto Chichester high street in 1999 and the longevity and growth of the agency has been attributed to her dedication, tenacity and wealth of knowledge within the recruitment sector.

During this time, the business has expanded significantly, catering for all levels of recruitment, while remaining an independent business.

Futures Recruitment Services was founded with the primary aim to meet clients' recruitment needs in the most prompt, efficient and cost-effective way.

The Goring Hotel, but was attracted to moving to Goodwood, where she has been working since September, 2018, by the combination of the South Downs countryside, being close to the sea, and Farmer, Butcher, Chef's reputation as a meat-based restaurant using local produce.

She said: "I really like using local produce. This country has so much to offer, there's no point in buying things in."

The head chef at Goodwood entered her for the prestigious Sussex competition and Isabella said the chefs in the kitchen were like a family, helping her with ideas and tastings.

Her winning dishes have been on the set menu at Farmer, Butcher, Chef this month but, in keeping with the venue's emphasis on seasonality, a new menu will be introduced in August.

Reacting to her win, Isabella, who is the first woman to win the young chef title, said: "It was great. I'm really excited about the future."

COOKING for your boss is quite a challenge for any chef but when that boss is the Duke of Richmond, stress levels could go through the roof. But Isabella Raccagna proved equal to the task.

The Duke and Duchess hosted a dinner at Goodwood's Farmer, Butcher, Chef, where Isabella works, for journalists and other guests last week, to recognise the rising talent of their young employee.

Despite being just 22, impressing diners is not a new experience for Isabella, who was chosen as Sussex Young Chef of the Year at the Sussex Food Awards, held in May at the Amex Stadium, Brighton, after devising and cooking a three-course meal for judges.

Her locally-sourced ingredients included lady steak from the Goodwood farm and Levindown cheese, which is also produced on the estate.

` Tangmere travellers A GROUP of travellers who moved on to land at Tangmere Airfield have been accused of defecating in a Battle of Britain memorial woodland.

The unpleasant issue was raised at a County Hall meeting by Cllr Simon Oakley and blasted as ‘quite unacceptable’ by leader, Cllr Louise Goldsmith.

Cllr Oakley said: “Recently we’ve had a second unauthorised occupation of county land at Tangmere, where considerable amounts of illegal and anti-social behaviour has taken place, including human fouling of adjacent public open spaces – including a Battle of Britain memorial woodland.

“What measures can be taken by county to prevent these continued unauthorised occupations which are causing so many issues in my area?”

A council spokesman confirmed that 17 caravans had moved on to the land on July 12 and were gone

by July 17, when a court hearing was due to be held with a view to moving them on.

He said the site was cleaned and secured with the helped of Chichester District Council, at a cost of £648.

Cllr Goldsmith said: “I’ve seen the emails and it seems like a very bad issue that you’ve had over there – and I understand there was some very unpleasant language to people who were trying to sort it out.”

She said the council was ‘very restricted’, being reliant on the police to enforce notices under Section 61 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which give them the power to remove trespassers from land.

Fast super cars raise plenty of cash for hospital charity

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A DAY of fundraising on Saturday at Goodwood Motor Circuit provided much needed funds for a hospital charity.

Saywell International was back at Goodwood Motor Circuit on Saturday for another of its charity track days, raising £9,388 for Love Your Hospital, the dedicated charity of Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Despite unpredictable weather, car enthusiasts and families donned their waterproofs and headed down to enjoy a day of exotic cars, raffles, cake stalls and games all in support of St Richard’s, Worthing and Southlands hospitals.

The aeroplane spares company, owned

by Peter Saywell, organises several events at Goodwood each year, charging visitors for rides around the circuit in return for a charitable donation.

The historic racetrack saw a whole host of impressive cars including a Lamborghini, Ferrari F12 and a incredibly rare Pagani Zonda, all from Peter's personal collection.

The fleet was joined by other highperformance motors which lined the track, allowing visitors to get up close, take pictures and get a chance to sit in the driving seat.

One such lucky youngster, nine-yearold Archie Woodard, had the thrill of his life when he was invited to ride a couple of

laps in a red Ferrari. Archie had recently run the Boxgrove 5K and raised £1,200 for St Richard’s Hospital breast care unit to thank the team for looking after his mum.

Peter said: “I, myself, over the past few years have encountered some health issues, so I have been fortunate enough to be cared for and treated by these wonderful people of the nursing profession.

"We all tend to take these amazing people for granted and it’s only when we need them that we appreciate their commitment.

"So it is with pride and enthusiasm that we can support them by arranging a track day to raise vital funds.”

Amanda Tucker, head of Love Your Hospital, added: “We’d like to thank everyone who came down to join us for

this special day and, of course, to Peter Saywell, who has been a wonderful supporter of the charity and recognises the outstanding care given by our dedicated staff at Western Sussex.

"The event was a great success, raising significant funds which will support hospital projects that fall outside of core NHS funding and show a clear and direct benefit to patients.”

Celebrating the moon landing fifty years later at the city's planetarium

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk KEEN space enthusiasts blasted off to the South Downs Planetarium over the weekend to celebrate 50 years since man first walked on the moon.

The planetarium in Chichester has been hosting a series of special events to mark the history-making occasion which included a special family weekend.

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on the moon. He and Buzz Aldrin walked around for three hours and carried out a number of experiments and picked up bits of moon dirt and rocks.

Apollo 11 blasted off on July 16 with the two astronauts and Michael Collins and four days later Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon while Collins stayed in orbit.

The South Downs Planetarium has been hosting a series of events called MoonFest! aimed to education and entertain anyone from aged five to 105.

On Saturday, July 13, visitors were

able to spend an evening with the planetarium's expert staff observing the night sky through telescopes. Due to the clear night sky, those attending were able to see the moon, Jupiter and Saturn.

Planetarium volunteer, Nas Baluch, said: "The observing evenings were great fun. We had a brilliant turnout, with people of all ages, and it was really encouraging to know how many people are passionate about astronomy.

"Lots of the visitors had never looked trough a telescope and they were so excited to get their first glimpse of the moon, Saturn and its rings and Jupiter with three of its moons visible.

"They were truly spectacular and it's an honour to be able to provide people with the opportunity to see these incredible sights."

The family fun days held on Saturday and Sunday included many spacethemed hands-on activities, special shows and presentations, high-definition interactive screens with games, puzzles and learning activities, films and demonstrations. There were games such as hunt the meteorite, an opportunity

to handle a real space rock, design an Apollo mission match, a fun space quiz competition, virtual reality headsets and a tactile large 3D moon globe.

The South Downs Planetarium celebrated the space race which developed between the US and the then Soviet Union, after the 1957 launch of the first Soviet Sputnik satellite.

US President John F Kennedy famously said in 1962: "We choose to go to the moon."

US space agency NASA committed huge amounts of resources to what became known as the Apollo programme, with about 400,000 people working on the programme, at a cost at the time of 25 billion dollars.

Nearly 110 hours after leaving Earth, Neil Armstrong became the first person to step on to the surface of the Moon. He was followed 20 minutes later by Buzz Aldrin.

The famous words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" were then spoken by Armstrong.

f Space boys and girls of the future attended the planetarium

f There were a variety of different activities for everyone to enjoy

History secrets brought to life in city

BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE SECRETS of an Iron Age warrior, who may have fought alongside King Commius during Julius Caesar’s wars with the Gauls, will finally be told through a major exhibition at The Novium Museum.

The ‘mystery warrior’ was discovered 12 years ago in Berkeley Homes’ Bersted Park development, in the most elaborately equipped warrior grave ever found in England. It has been dated to around 50BC, in the late Iron Age. The exhibition has been made possible due to Berkeley Homes generously donating the finds, a £50,000 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and signature sponsorship from Irwin Mitchell.

Due to its significance, a team of world class experts has been working with the museum to analyse and interpret the finds to tell the story of this incredible individual.

James Kenny, Chichester District Council’s archaeologist, was one of the first people to view the grave when it was discovered in North Bersted, “In more than 30 years of archaeology, this is the most spectacular discovery that I have witnessed. Thanks to scientific research, analysis and the involvement of worldrenowned archaeological experts, the story of the mystery warrior just gets better.

“Due to the richness of the finds within the grave, we believe that the mystery warrior held one of the most prestigious roles in the country. This is one of the most exceptional finds in this particular archaeological period and is

of international significance.

“What distinguishes this discovery from any other burial in Britain is the breathtaking quality and beauty of the artefacts and the range of his possessions.

"The warrior had a full suite of weapons, including a stunning sword in a decorated scabbard, a spear and a shield with large bronze boss. One of the most spectacular finds within the burial is the headdress for the helmet. This is decorated with an exquisitely designed bronze openwork crest – a completely unique discovery.”

The ‘Mystery Warrior: The North Bersted Man’ exhibition will open on January 25, 2020, and will be the first time that this extraordinary Iron Age warrior and his burial possessions will be on public display.

The exhibition will explore the life, health and death of this fascinating man.

It will attempt to explain some of the questions that have been raised by the circumstances of his burial.

It will illuminate a critical point in Britain’s history - the years immediately preceding the Roman invasion, when the south coast was at the heart of the great events that ultimately shaped Britain as a nation.

“Thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Berkeley Homes and Irwin Mitchell, we are able to tell this fascinating story,” says Cllr Roy Briscoe, cabinet member for community services and culture at the district council.

“The mystery warrior was a resistance figure who brought with him the story of war, and strategic military knowledge of how to fight the Roman army.

"This is a story that has yet to be told and one which is of great importance

locally, nationally and internationally.

This exhibition will help museum visitors to explore how locals mourned this legendary military figure through a remarkable send-off.”

Stuart Hobley, area director London & South at the National Lottery Heritage Fund, said: “The life of the mystery warrior and the stories he can tell of Iron Age Britain are set to be revealed thanks to the money raised by National Lottery players. A part of our heritage with international significance and now one that the community in which he was found can finally get to the heart of.

We’re delighted and excited to support this incredible project.”

Gathering of the Goblins

BY LOTTE PEGLER lotte.pegler@sussexpost.co.uk ROLLS-ROYCE Motor Cars again joined up with the March CE Primary school to help out with their race car.

The car was part of the annual Greenpower IET ‘Gathering of the Goblins’, an event for electric-powered racing cars designed, built and driven by school children.

The company provided another brandnew car for the school in the hope that the school could win not only first place, but also second.

Andrew Ball, head of corporate relations, heritage and philanthropy, said: “It has been our privilege and pleasure to be involved with the school on this project over a number of years.

“With its emphasis on design, creativity, engineering and performance, it chimes perfectly with our own values and activities as a company.

“We supplied the original car, which is still going strong. It’s given so much pleasure to so many children that we were only too happy to extend those opportunities further with a second machine.

“Working on Goblins has also proved extremely popular with our apprentices, for whom it provides a whole new set of challenges and an opportunity to share their knowledge and enthusiasm with those who may, one day, follow in their footsteps. We wish both teams every

success.”

Both cars were built by the children from kits developed by Greenpower Education Trust, a UK-based charity that encourages children aged nine to 11 to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) through motorsport.

All entrants were given the same chassis and are strictly scrutinised, but competitors are free to develop their own designs and finishes for the bodywork.

Designs were drawn up by pairs of children and were then submitted for review by the Rolls-Royce apprentices.

The apprentices worked with the children to develop and select the final concepts for the two cars, before bringing them both to fruition at the company’s head office and manufacturing plant at Goodwood.

The new March School car made its raceday debut in a striking shark-inspired paint scheme.

The lucky driver wore a helmet covered in scales to match the car’s dark emerald coachwork.

For its sixth appearance at the ‘Gathering of the Goblins’, the school’s original car was completely refurbished by the RollsRoyce apprentices team.

In complete contrast to the other car, it was decorated with shoals of fish and jelly fish, as well as other seaside staples, in cheerful candy colours.

It was designed to capture all the fun of a day at the world-famous West Wittering Beach, just a short drive from the home of Rolls-Royce.

` Business expansion

f The new car fits in with the underwater theme

ALMOST a year to the day since networking organisation The Collective launched in Chichester, its founders, Helen Hoile and Abby Smith, have announced plans to expand their already 100-strong entrepreneurial community across the south coast, starting with Southsea.

The announcement was made at The Collective’s first anniversary mingle at Draper’s Yard to an audience of local entrepreneurs, freelancers and independent small business owners.

“This past year has been just incredible for us and The Collective," said Helen.

"We have absolutely loved creating a community that resonates our ethos and approach to life, which is one of warmth, friendliness, support and sharing.

"We have also relished cementing and strengthening our vision for what 'networking' should deliver and we want more south coast entrepreneurs to experience what we call The CiiCC effect – starting with Southsea.”

The CiiCC effect encompasses the five elements on which The Collective is built – connect, inspire, inform, collaborate and celebrate.

According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of self-employed workers is on the up and they now account for around 15 per cent of the working population.

Abby concluded: “We are so grateful to our Chichester members for believing in The Collective and investing their hard-earned money in our community."

FOLLOWING the reveal of the allnew Kia XCeed last month, Kia has released pricing and specifications of the fourth member of the Ceed range. Order books are now open for the Kia XCeed, with the first cars set to arrive in UK showrooms in September 2019.

The all-new Kia XCeed adds a Compact Utility Vehicle to the Ceed range, a body style that is increasing in popularity, and one that bridges the gap between the traditional hatchback and SUV body styles.

The exterior of the Kia XCeed shares only the front door panels

with the Ceed hatchback. Faceon, there is a distinct difference between the two models, helped by the longer, taller, sportier bonnet, new dual blade front grille, satin chrome garnish, revised bumper and new LED headlamps.

At the heart of the Kia XCeed’s dashboard is Kia’s new 10.25inch TFT LCD widescreen system, featuring the new UVO CONNECT telematics system. It is featured as standard on ‘3’ and ‘First Edition’ grades. New functions include a split screen mode, home screen customisation, Bluetooth®multiconnection and user profiles.

UVO CONNECT puts a raft of information at owners’ fingertips, including live traffic, weather, and parking availability.

The Kia XCeed will be available with Kia’s trademark, easy to understand line-up of ‘2’, ‘3’ and flagship ‘First Edition’ models, with both petrol and diesel engines on offer. A seven-speed DCT automatic transmission is available with the 1.4 T-GDi 138bhp engine.

Grade ‘2’ models are comprehensively kitted out with 16-inch alloy wheels, silver roof rails, a rear spoiler, a gloss black mesh front grille with satin chrome

Avoidance Assist (FCA) with pedestrian detection, Smart Cruise Control on DCT versions, Blind Spot Collision Warning (BCW), Intelligent Speed Limit warning and a high line Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with tyre pressure display.

Priced from £20,795 to £29,195 on the road, the all-new Kia XCeed comes with the company’s unique-in-the-UK seven-year or 100,000-mile warranty, subject to certain wear and tear conditions.

The warranty is fully transferable should the car be sold before the time or mileage limits have been reached.

The panels enable the schools to generate clean, renewable electricity and reduce their annual energy bills by an average of £2,000. They are also cutting carbon emissions by 1,300 tonnes.

The programme won the delivering clean growth category at the national Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport (ADEPT) President's awards.

West Sussex cabinet member for the environment, Cllr Deborah Urquhart,

said: "We are delighted to be recognised by our local government peers for delivering such an ambitious programme.

"The solar panels will deliver environmental and financial benefits for many years to come and, in the case of some of the larger installations, enable schools to meet 100 per cent of their energy demand on sunny days."

The combined renewable energy generation capacity from all the schools' solar panels equals the output of the county council's five-megawatt solar farm at Tangmere.

"This is capable of powering 1,500 homes."

Installing the panels is part of the council's energy strategy, which has included the launch of energy firm Your Energy Sussex.

Council leader survives second critical debate A SECOND call for a vote of no confidence in the leader of West Sussex County Council has come to nothing.

Cllr Louise Goldsmith, pictured below, said she was ‘devastated’ after the last such call on June 7 – this time she cracked a joke.

To laughter from fellow Conservatives, Mrs Goldsmith suggested such calls should be made a regular item on the agenda to save people writing them or debating them.

The call was part of a notice of motion from Labour’s Cllr Michael Jones about the recent critical report into the county’s fire and rescue service. The notice said it had become ‘unsustainable for this council to have confidence in a leader and cabinet who have presided over such an outcome'.

It called for all fire service budget cuts proposed for 2019/20 to be withdrawn completely and for priority to be given to recruiting firefighters to replace those lost since 2010.

It also asked for a review led by an independent person to be carried out to determine whether alternative arrangements should be made for the governance of the fire service.

And it called on the council to ‘stop prevaricating’ about the funding received by the fire service and to ‘finally press the government for urgent additional funding to properly resource the very stretched service’.

During a meeting of the full council

on Friday, members voted to accept an amendment from Cllr Jacquie Russell (C, East Grinstead S & Ashurst Wood) which took out the ‘no confidence’ call. Her amendment also adjusted the wording of Cllr Jones’ notice to reflect the improvement plan already put in place by the council and the fire service.

There were some harsh words aimed at Mr Jones, with Cllr David Edwards (C, Bersted) calling his notice ‘another vitriolic rant calling for blood’ and ‘another tirade from a political opportunist’.

Cllr Edwards said Cllr Mrs Goldsmith would ‘never walk away’.

Cllr Jones (Southgate & Gossops Green) said: “It’s rich they’ve accused me of being political with this issue and weaponising it.

"It’s deeply ironic because we’re only here because of the political decisions that the Tory administration has made in the past.”

f Apprentices at GTR in Fontwell

New apprenticeships CHICHESTER COLLEGE has teamed up with leading composite engineering manufacturer GTR to offer young people in Sussex the opportunity of a lifetime.

Global Technologies Racing (GTR) have created 20 apprenticeships for composite technicians – providing anyone aged 16 or over the chance to work in a high-paced, engineering environment in Fontwell.

And that’s not all – starting as a composite technician apprentice is a fantastic entry into a career which could take you all the way from the workshop to a Formula One race team!

At GTR, apprentices will work on a variety of projects across industries which include aeronautical, automotive and motorsport industries, as the company is the leading composite manufacturer in motorsport, building structural aero parts such as body work and wings for a number of Formula One and Indy car teams.

Andrew Green, executive principal for the Chichester College Group, said: “This is a really exciting opportunity for any young person who has a passion for technology or motorsport.

“To be able to work with some of the best in the business, and study on a bespoke apprenticeship programme, which the college has developed with GTR, is a fantastic way to learn while you earn – and give you the work ready skills which will set you up for success.

“We are very proud to be working with GTR to give young people in our local area an incredible chance to change their lives through learning.”

The 20 apprentices will be split into two groups, with staggered start dates with the first ten to start in September, 2019, and the second two months later, in November.

To find out more, please contact apprenticeships@chichester.ac.uk or call 01243 812948.

News 17

` Organ donation TRANSPLANT experts have called for families in West Sussex to talk about organ donation.

The law regarding the donations changes next spring. All adults in England will be considered as having agreed to donate their organs when they die unless they record a decision stating otherwise or are in a group specified by law, such as under 18.

Anthony Clarkson, director of organ donation and transplantation at NHS Blood and Transplant, said: "There are 55 people in West Sussex waiting for a transplant now.

"Their only hope for a new life is that a family in their time of grief will make the wonderful decision to agree to organ donation.

"With the law around organ donation changing in England from next spring, we urge everyone to find out about the choices available to them, make their decision and share it with their family."

Anyone who would like to help others after their death should tell their family they want to be an organ donor and join the NHS Organ Donor Register.

More people than ever across the UK donated their organs after their death last year. This included 13 West Sussex residents.

But fewer people died in circumstances where they were able to donate their organs.

An NHS Blood and Transplant spokesman said: "This means it is more important than ever that every person who wants and is able to donate their organs after death, is given the opportunity to do so."

The past five years in West Sussex saw 30 people die waiting for a desperately needed organ transplant.

f The students learned valuable skills over the week

Pupils awarded for time training with firefighters

BY LOTTE PEGLER lotte.pegler@sussexpost.co.uk A GROUP of 10 secondary school pupils were put through their paces as they trained like firefighters.

Supported by family and friends, the pupils took part in a pass out parade at Bognor Regis fire station on July 12, following a week of intense training as part of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service’s FireBreak programme.

Alfie Walden (St Philip Howard), Alicia Saigeman (Felpham Community College), Cody Belcher and Frankie Curd (Chichester High School), Evan Goble and Lewis Johnson (Chichester Free School),

George Pike (Selsey Academy), Joe Willson (The Littlehampton Academy), Leo Ozawa (The Angmering School) and Tilly West (Midhurst Rother College) all took part.

The children joined in hose running, ladder climbing and using breathing apparatus while learning about fire safety, CPR. They also gained a HeartStart first aid training qualification.

Jeremy Beard, WSFRS’ area manager for risk and improvement, presented each graduate with their award.

Alicia received a special award for outstanding individual achievement, while Cody received an award for commitment to team objectives.

Mr Beard said: “FireBreak is a fantastic opportunity for young people to learn

more about our fire and rescue service, while picking up some really valuable skills such as teamwork, discipline and self confidence, which we hope they will be able to take away with them and put to use in their lives.

“When they arrived on Monday morning, none of them knew each other.

But they have worked together as a team, demonstrating real determination to complete what is a very challenging course.

“We hope that they use this course as a springboard on to bigger and better things.”

FireBreak is run by the fire service's targeted education team, aimed at encouraging students to become positive role models and learn skills that can go towards maintaining a safe community.

Dear Editor, I visit Chichester at least four or five times a year as it is one of my favourite places to visit and I love the drive via the Hartings.

Last Wednesday, when I had one of my lovely visits, I picked up the Chichester Post (Issue 167). I do not think I have done so before. I was delighted to read the history of the Bishop’s Palace Gardens.

Whenever I am in Chichester, I call into the cathedral, and always the Bishops Gardens. So it was a great pleasure to read Pat Saunders' article.

Normally, Itake a picture from the gardens, somewhat like the one shown in your paper, but, this time, although it was a beautiful day and the gardens looked superb, the scaffolding was too prominent, so I will look at my previous photos.

Thank you for the excellent newsy free paper. Sussex is lucky to have such.

Kind regards to all concerned.

f Rumboldswhyke School in Chichester Dear Editor, I was very surprised to read that, during Chichester District Council's July 9 cabinet meeting on carbon dioxide emissions, no mention was made of the fact that Orchard Street is one of the most polluted roads in the whole of the UK, as reported in The Times some months ago.

This situation, attributed by a council employee to whom I spoke, to the sheer volume of traffic already using this street, will only worsen substantially with the White House Farm development.

Given that there are two schools within yards of the street, what is the district council intending to do to protect the developing brains and lungs of these young people, let alone those adults with pulmonary disorders?

Yours sincerely, Barbara Howden Richards Graylingwell Park Chichester

Dear Editor, With great sadness, we read on the front page of the Chichester Post (Issue 165) of the Ofsted report of the inadequate level of teaching at Rumboldswhyke School. Or should we rather say, the inadequate Ofsted report?

Rumboldswhyke School is known among parents as a very good school, loving and nurturing. Even the Ofsted report found that parents feel that their children are happy, safe and are well cared for in the school.

The headteacher and her team have always been highly regarded among the parental community. Most of the staff at Rumboldswhyke School have been in their posts for lengthy periods, giving the school a stable and thriving environment.

So one wonders, how can parents and Ofsted be so different in their overall view? Who is the best judge of a school, the parents or Ofsted?

No one can ignore, however, how

damaging a negative Ofsted report is to a school, its staff morale and the possible impact on the local community.

We have already learned about the heart and soul of the school, the head teacher and the deputy head teacher leaving their positions. This is indeed very sad news to all children and their parents.

We are pleased to hear that two experienced teachers have been promptly appointed for September, but the question remains, has the time come for parents to challenge an institution that can label a school inadequate through what appears a rigid and incomplete system?

Surely we, as parents, should have a greater say and value in the final outcome of any Ofsted inspection report.

Yours sincerely, Dr Cristina Vitan and Dr Florian Schmidt

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK July 26 - August 1

THE 28th Chichester International Film Festival, the largest on the south coast, will open its wide doors at Chichester Cinema at New Park on August 8 with the UK premiere of The Conductor, a magnificent and epic new Dutch film in the presence of the director, actor and producer.

The film is based on the 1920s true story of Dutch-born Antonia Brico, the world’s first woman who successfully conducted a large symphony orchestra. The closing gala film, a preview, on Sunday, August 25, is Mrs Lowry & Son, a beautiful, delicate, intimate and amusing story of the brittle but vital relationship between L. S. Lowry (Timothy Spall), and his bedridden, unhappy and controlling mother (Vanessa Redgrave). There are three open air screenings from August 2 at the historic Priory Park. See open air films and all festival films on www. chichesterfilmfestival.co.uk Book your (free) seats for the media and audience event on July 30 at 11.30am – 12.30pm, artistic director Roger Gibson giving a preview with clips.

Before the festival, don’t miss the following films.

In The Hummingbird Project, Jesse Eisenberg is all focused nervous energy as Vincent Zaleski, whose plan is to build a straight line tunnel from Kansas to New York through which he'll run hundreds of miles of fiber-optic cable. The goal? To receive stock prices one millisecond earlier than the competition, thus earning himself hundreds of millions of dollars.

You won’t look away in Never Look Away, a gorgeous epic story of the evolution of an East German painter, struggling to find his voice. It's also about the depravity of the Third Reich and the regimes that followed in East and West Germany.

No small targets then by the director of The Lives of Others.

Patrick Strickland’s film In Fabric takes on aspects of different genres combining stylish thriller, horror and romance into a fantastically beguiling and eerie watch. While Marianne Jean-

Baptiste excels as lonely, recently separated Sheila, the red dress that she buys also has a leading part to play. The film follows the journey of this dress as it wreaks havoc in the lives of those that are unfortunate enough to wear it.

Toy Story 4 is so good it’s criminal. But never before has a studio broken the law as Pixar has done, by sustaining something close to perfection to the closing credits of a fourth. Don’t miss it.

In Anna, beneath Anna Poliatova's striking beauty lies a secret that will unleash her indelible strength and skill to become one of the world's most feared government assassins.

The affair between Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf is winningly recreated by Gemma Arterton and Elizabeth Debicki in Vita and Virginia, the relationship testing to neardestruction socialite-author Vita’s marriage with Harold Nicolson along with literary icon Virginia’s relationship with stolid Leonard Woolf.

Performance Events: Romeo et Juliette comes from New York’s Met Opera (July 28) and Measure for Measure is live from the RSC (July 31).

Lovers of Ernst Lubitsch films – he cast stars like Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Charles Laughton – will revel in The Cinema of Ernst Lubitsch given

by Hollywood historian Nick Smedley on July 26 at 6.30pm. Part of the Focus on Film courses given by the cinema’s Education Department.

Adventure, Family, Musical Screened at Picturedrome Cinema

JOURNEY to the African savannah in an all-new take on Disney's The Lion King that utilises pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring treasured characters to life in a whole new way. Without a doubt the most highly anticipated of Disney’s live-action remakes, The Lion King is set to be the pick of the Pride and follows the story of a young cub named Simba from infancy to adulthood.

Simba idolises his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother – and the former heir to the throne – has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy, and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. The all-star voice cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, John Oliver as Zazu, Billy Eichner as Timon, and Seth Rogen as Pumbaa.

NEW RELEASE

The Current War

SPARKS fly as Benedict Cumberbatch’s Thomas Edison and Michael Shannon’s George Westinghouse lock horns in an electrifying period drama depicting the fierce battle to power the world. Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon transports us to late 19th century America, where iconic inventor Thomas Edison attempts to dazzle Manhattan with his large scale, low voltage, direct current technology. He’s supported by his wife, Mary Edison, and pushed on his ethics by his forthright assistant.

However, it’s the mutton-chopped George Westinghouse who feels he’s seen fatal flaws in Edison's plan. Backed by J.P. Morgan and his wife, Marguerite, they bet everything on the riskier high voltage alternating current, so igniting the famous “War of the Currents".

The script from playwright Michael Mitnick strikes a delicate balance between scientific theory and human interest in a bid to fully light up our screens this summer. It’ll also trace the early journey of enigmatic electrical engineer Nikola Tesla and his own part in the ensuing “war". Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon star as the rival electricity titans and lead a stellar cast including Katherine Waterston, Tom Holland, Matthew Macfadyen, Tuppence Middleton and Nicholas Hoult.

Horrible Histories: The Movie – Rotten Romans Comedy, Family, History Screened at Picturedrome Cinema

HORRIBLE Histories: The Movie - Rotten Romans will transport audiences back to Roman Britain and embrace the timeless, irreverent humour of the successful books and TV series. Atti is a Roman teenager with brains but very little brawn. When one of his schemes falls foul of Emperor Nero, Atti is forced to join the army and sent to miserable, cold, wet Britain. Things go from bad to worse when Atti is captured by Orla, a feisty teenage Celt desperate to prove herself as a warrior. Meanwhile, a furious Nero is determined to crush the British rebellion, led by Boudicca. As the Romans prepare for a historic showdown with the Celts at the Battle of Watling Street, the two new friends find themselves lined up on opposite sides of the battlefield. The film features rising stars Sebastian Croft as Roman teenager Atti and Emilia Jones as his Celtic rival Orla leading an all-star cast including Nick Frost, Craig Roberts, Kim Cattrall, Kate Nash, Rupert Graves, Alex Macqueen, Sir Derek Jacobi, Alexander Armstrong, Lee Mack, Warwick Davis, Lucy Montgomery and more.

Not just OK Oklahoma! is a knock-out Theatre review 

By Alicia Denny Oklahoma!

Until September 7 Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester PO19 6AP 01243 781312 box.office@cft.org.uk www.cft.org.uk EVERY day for the next six weeks, director Jeremy Sams, the cast, crew and management of Chichester Festival Theatre are likely to wake up and say: "Oh, what a beautiful morning" - thanks to this summer's smash-hit musical.

The Rodgers and Hammerstein classic Oklahoma! has returned in triumph to the CFT with a traditional, tuneful and energetic production led by two potential stars of the future, Hyoie O'Grady and Amara Okereke, as Curly and Laurey.

O'Grady's opening bars of the iconic "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning", could have been a touch stronger but the couple had real chemistry which

developed well as the story progressed.

Also making her Chichester debut, actress and comedian Josie Lawrence was a vital central figure to the action as Aunt Eller, giving the role more force than usual and all the better for that.

Isaac Gryn (Will Parker), Bronte Barbe (Ado Annie) and Scott Karim (Ali Hakim) took on the humorous characters with vim and vigour while Emmanuel Kojo created sympathy in the difficult role of Jud Fry.

The company of singers and dancers were outstanding with their enthusiasm and athleticism making the most of the thrust stage area and, although the hummable tunes are so familiar, the 14-strong orchestra stayed tightly controlled and did not overwhelm the voices.

As usual at CFT, the set design and effects were terrific, particularly in the atmospheric dream sequence. Overall, this production is more than OK, it's a KO.

Swimming and other water sports are a good way to enjoy being outdoors and, living on the coast, it's a good idea for children to be safe and confident in and on the sea, lakes and pools.

The long-established Cobnor Activities Centre, near Chidham, has a range of summer holiday camps, both residential and for day visitors, covering a variety of sports on and off the water from its wellequipped site and caters for youngsters from eight to 17 years old, who are all supervised by qualified instructors. Family activity days and land-based activities, such as climbing, are also on offer.

Training schemes approved by the Royal Yachting Association and the British Canoeing Union are available at Christian Youth Enterprises,

Get active outdoors this summer in Sussex ENGLAND'S last-gasp win in cricket's World Cup may have given youngsters the idea of playing more sport during the summer holidays and there are courses and clubs where they can learn and have fun.

Chichester College is one site with multisport activities for children aged five to 14 while Barracudas runs a similar camp at Westbourne House School, either on a day or weekly basis.

Whizz Kids has venues including Central Academy School in Chichester and Dorset House School, near Arundel, for children aged four to 12.

Both the main leisure centres at Bognor Regis and Chichester have all-day and half-day supervised activity sessions for youngsters, offering flexibility for working parents. Littlehampton's swimming centre also offers a variety of activities for children.

which is a close neighbour of Cobnor, on the shores of Chichester Harbour. It also hosts adventure camps for children with activities on both land and sea.

With opening hours from 10am-10pm daily, The Base skatepark at Oldlands Way in Bognor Regis offers plenty of time and space for teenagers and adults to let off steam in a safe environment. The Flying Fortress, with its aircraft-themed play centre at Ford Airfield, is also open seven days a week with active fun for all ages, including toddlers.

Trampoline centres, Air Arena at Chichester Gate and Flip Out at Glenmore Business Park, off the city's bypass, have safe bouncing fun for all as well as coaching for youngsters interested in improving their skills.

For children's activities at a gentler pace, at Aldingbourne Country Centre, near Fontwell, young visitors can enjoy a woodland walk with a natural woodland playground as well as a petting farm.

Whatever appeals, for energetic children in the Bognor Regis and Chichester area, there is plenty of choice and fun throughout the summer holidays.

Golf is another sport children can try or improve their skills during the summer holidays. Goodwood runs regular junior camps and Chichester Golf Club at Hunston offers lessons.

Fun golf putting courses at Hotham Park in Bognor Regis and Mill Lane in Arundel are suitable for all the family to try their skills. Jungle Adventure Golf is at Chichester Golf Club.

If you have a budding Andy Murray or Johanna Konta in your home, they could benefit from sessions at Chichester Tennis Academy, which is run from Chichester Racquets and Fitness Centre in Oaklands Park.

THIS summer, Pallant House Gallery is inviting children to take the lead on their relaxed Free Range Saturdays (July 27, August 10, 10am-1pm) and discover art at their own pace and at their own volume!

The mornings are free for families to dip in and out as they choose or join the many fun art activities. The gallery is also running immersive creative workshops for children and teenagers throughout the holidays so they can learn new skills while trying their hand at painting, sculpture, digital drawing, printmaking or architecture.

The gallery is also opening its doors for the long summer evenings with its Summer Lates, hosted by creative partners the Design Collective, Chichester Festival Theatre and Chichester University.

There will be performances, talks, screenings, activities and plenty of food, drinks and music to enjoy in their courtyard garden.

yourself at West Sands

Great value fun all day every day West Sands Fun Fair W Sands Ln, Selsey, Chichester PO20 9BH Tel: 07989 534852 SUN, sea, sand - and a family fun fair - make up the ideal ingredients for a summer day out and they're all together at West Sands in Selsey.

Now bigger and better than ever with new rides and attractions, the fair has traditional thrills, such as the Waltzer to whizz riders round, a roller coaster with curves and drops or visitors can try to outdrive each other on the dodgems.

Families are especially welcome and, at only £10 for up to five hours of enjoyment, the fair is great value for all.

Making fairy tales come true is a roundabout with two Cinderella pumpkin coaches and horses, brought in from Italy this year. It sits alongside other entertainment for youngsters including a bootshaped slide, helter skelter and paddle boats.

For the youngest visitors, there's an activity sand pit with diggers and soft play area while for those with plenty of energy, trampolines are free to use up until 11am.

Established more than 40 years ago, the fair has been a destination for both holidaymakers and families who travel regularly from Chichester and Bognor Regis, as well as Selsey itself, to enjoy the rides, which are good enough to rival many other bigger fairs along the south coast.

After a tornado destroyed much of the fair’s site in 1998, it was re-built to the latest standards with the addition of a purpose-

built cafeteria so fun-seekers can stay at the seaside venue all afternoon.

Two innovations for 2019 are a stand where you can make your own ice cream and another serving deep fried battered Oreo biscuits.

Takeaway drinks, snacks and ice creams will keep the family fuelled up as they make the most of sunny days in Selsey.

The fun fair, off Mill Lane, near the windmill and linked to the neighbouring holiday park, is open every day from noon to 6pm, until December.

Although the weather can sometimes limit times, the gates at West Sands Fun Fair are open as often as possible and certainly throughout summer season weekends.

What’s even better is that entry and car parking is free for all visitors.

Purpose-built diner open all day

FEEDING the family at a reasonable price while out and about can be quite a challenge but The Saltings diner has the answer.

The restaurant at West Sands fun fair is open to the public daily from 9am and serves a full menu all day. There is a large, comfortable seating area in the purpose-built diner and seats outside for sunny weather.

If the sea air and hectic activity on the funfair rides have given you an appetite, The Saltings’ menu will have something to suit. Full English breakfast of bacon, egg, sausage, beans and all the trimmings can be enjoyed any time of day while lunches are prepared on the premises, ranging from lighter sandwiches to hot, cooked dishes.

Dinner, tea, chips and burgers are also on the well-priced menu plus a good choice of hot and cold drinks. If you’re too busy enjoying yourself to stop for a sit-down meal, snacks, burgers, tea and coffee are available to take away, plus favourite ice creams.Whether you want to fill your belly, quench your thirst or enjoy a tasty treat, The Saltings can satisfy all visitors.

The museum, on part of the site of one of the country's most famous Royal Air Force fighter bases during the Second World War, will host a day of indoor and outdoor children's activities on Sunday, August 4.

These will include designing and colouring squadron badges, making paper aeroplanes, learning and using Morse code and the phoenetic alphabet, face painting and dressing up as a pilot. Extracts from Grandpa's Great Escape, by David Walliams, will be read.

Organisers hope an ambulance and a fire engine will be available for children to explore and there will be a drill demonstration by Chichester Air Training Cadet Corps.

As well as aviation-related stalls, there will be a mini train for rides and demonstrations of radio-controlled model tanks.

A popular free attraction from last year, the 'make-it and take-it' chance to make an Airfix model aircraft to take away, will be repeated.

Visitors, both young and old, can try their hands at flying the museum's simulators, including the Lightning fast jet.

Also on display will be the latest acquisition, a full-scale replcia of a Westland Special Duties Lysander aircraft as used by the RAF

If you want to imagine what it was like to be a bomb-aimer in the war, there's the chance to take part in a competition and try dropping bombs on a target from a radio-controlled Lancaster bomber and, subject to the weather, the cockpits of the museum's aircraft displayed outside, including the Harrier jump-jet, will be open.

When visitors need a break from the fun, the NAAFI-themed tea room, beer tent and burger bar will be open, with DJ Pete Cross, of Angel Radio, playing music of the 1940s and 1950s to get everyone in the mood.

CommunityNews&Views NODDY

NEWS OUR chain of five charity boutiques that support Mount Noddy are recruiting for a volunteer driver for just one day every three weeks and holiday cover where needed.

This is a great opportunity if you love driving, are up for a physical challenge and want to help us to keep our shop donations fresh and appealing for our customers.

The role involves driving our small shops van for a full day (9am5pm) where it will be pre-loaded ready for collection at Mount Noddy. The route is pre-planned by the business and income manager, Clare Palmer, who oversees the five local shops.

She says: "This role is so important to the smooth running of the shops. The animal centre relies on the shop profits to keep running, and so getting the donations to the shop premises for our customers to buy is so important in this operation."

The ideal candidate needs to be able to lift and move often heavy and awkward boxes and bags in and out of the van between our shops, where the staff and volunteers help as much as possible.

It's a rewarding position, and we already have two regular drivers but are needing to expand the team to suit everyone and ensure there are no gaps in the process.

Clare adds: "We generally prefer someone to be able to do a mid-week day to keep it regular, but can be a little flexible around that. The most important thing is that someone is reliable and happy to do it long-term!"

If you are interested in taking on this role, please get in touch with Clare for an informal chat. You will need to have a full, clean driving licence before being considered.

Our shops are also looking for a shops maintenance volunteer, just on an ad-hoc basis. Sometimes our shops have minor things that need fixing and so someone who likes to do DIY and is knowledgeable in a few areas, can certainly be considered. All supplies needed will be reimbursed from the shop and we will ensure you are kept hydrated with tea and coffee! We sometimes need a variety of little jobs doing, such as changing strip light bulbs, tightening taps, screwing holes, putting up a shelf and general maintenance fixes!

Helping our shops will always be in fashion, so don't wait, we have spaces available right now.

Our five shops are located at • 2 The Arcade, Bognor Regis, • 35 East Street, Horsham • 50 North Street, Chichester • 135 Montague Street, Worthing • 70 High Street, Littlehampton Don't forget, we always need your clothing donations, too, especially ladies and mens, shoes, bags and bric-a-brac. All shops are open seven days a week with friendly and welcoming staff and volunteers. We hope to hear from you soon.

For more information, please contact: clare.palmer@ rspcamountnoddy.org.uk or on: 07444 704368

FOR THE last ten years the Rotary Club of Chichester Harbour has organised an annual charity cycle ride from Chichester to Chartres.

This year, however, they are planning something slightly different and a little closer to home, but hope the new event will prove to be equally interesting and certainly no less challenging for enthusiastic cyclists who want to help raise money for a worthwhile cause.

On the weekend of September 7-8, a group will be cycling around the Isle of Wight.

The route follows much of the picturesque coastline, with magnificent views, but rather than being flat the route is undulating and occasionally hilly in places, and so will offer most cyclists a unique yet attainable challenge.

Including cycling from Chichester to Portsmouth on the outward and return journeys, and then cycling around the island, the club has estimated the total distance will be around 120 miles.

There are many sights to see on the island and cyclists will

be able to make café stops and explore at their own pace as they cycle the route. All cyclists will be provided with a map of the island.

As always, this charity cycle event fundraises for a local charity, and for this year’s event Stonepillow has been chosen as the main beneficiary, with other local charities selected by the Rotary club to benefit to a lesser degree.

It is especially timely that Stonepillow has been chosen as 2019 is the charity’s 30th anniversary year.

Stonepillow offers shelter, information and support to empower homeless and vulnerable people to make positive changes in their lives.

There are number of reasons that can cause someone to become homeless, whether it is individual circumstances, external factors or both.

Further information about this event and a booking form can be obtained by contacting: rotaryiow19@outlook.com or 01243 538106 or 07798 805784.

All bookings need to be in place by Wednesday, July 31.

CHICHESTER Lions Club president Peter Wilson and members presented a cheque for £500 to the Tangmere Youth Club.

The money will go towards providing important new

equipment in the newly refurbished centre of the village's vibrant and developing youth club.

Mr Wilson is pictured above handing over the cheque to the club.

CHICHESTER residents are being invited to put their knitting skills to good use and join in Co-op Funeralcare’s monthly coffee morning.

The Knit and Natter club, set up by Co-op Funeralcare in Chichester, aims to bring together local residents to knit small items for premature babies in the local hospital.

All items of clothing which are knitted by the group will be donated to the premature baby unit at St Richards Hospital in Chichester.

Alongside bereavement groups and charity fundraisers, the Knit and Natter coffee morning is one of many ways that Co-op Funeralcare supports the local communities in Chichester. The home also supports a number of local causes in the area, which include The Apuldram Centre, Rotary Club harbour community services team and Southbourne Lions Club.

Sarah Coates, funeral director at Whites Chichester, commented: “I decided to set up the Knit and Natter coffee morning in the hope that we could help foster closer community cohesion in the area, bringing together local residents with similar interests.

“We are starting by knitting cardigans and other small items of clothing for babies in the local hospital’s premature baby unit.

“The coffee morning is open to all knitters, whether they’re complete beginners or experts. It’s an opportunity to learn while supporting a lovely local cause.”

The Knit and Natter coffee morning is held on site at Whites funeral home on the second Wednesday of the month, from 10.30am-12.30pm.

For more information, please contact Sarah by calling the funeral home on 020 8460 7788.

CHICHESTER Harbour Conservancy has been recognised nationally for its education service, winning the prestigious Bowland Award.

The Bowland Award is presented annually for the best project, best practice or outstanding contribution to the wellbeing of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It recognises the tireless work of those who contribute to making the UK's 46 AONBs wonderful places to visit, live and work in.

The education service, which has just celebrated its 20th anniversary, works with local schools throughout Hampshire and West Sussex as well as some further afield, and offers children the opportunity to learn about coastal habitats and wildlife, and take trips aboard Solar Heritage, the Conservancy's solar-powered catamaran. A classroom at Dell Quay provides a centre from which groups can go out and explore the harbour, which is one of the UK's smallest Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Dr Richard Austin, AONB manager at Chichester Harbour Conservancy, commented: "Since 1999 we've welcomed over 150,000 children to Chichester Harbour, in a bid to better connect them with nature. I nominated the service as I felt the team deserved national recognition for their outstanding efforts."

Jane Latawski, education officer, added: "We are all delighted to win, and I'd like to thank everyone connected with the education service, including staff, teachers, volunteers and visiting schools.

It is a wonderful boost for our work to be acknowledged with this award, and we look forward to proudly displaying this incredible sculpture in our newly refurbished education centre."

Awards are made at a special ceremony at the annual Landscapes for Life Conference, which this year took place between July 9-11.

Over 100 conferences delegates voted for one of six nominations, with the education service announced as the overall winner. The Bowland Award, also in its 20th year, was named after the first winner, from the Forest of Bowland AONB. The award itself is a hen harrier sculpture in bronze.

Q Hair and Beauty 37 North St, Chichester PO19 1LX Tel: 01243 781585 www.qhairandbeauty.co.uk THE hair and beauty industry is constantly evolving, with modern technology and advancements leading to exciting and enormously effective new therapies being introduced on a frequent basis.

The essential key to achieving the best results is to choose a qualified practitioner you can have complete confidence in, and multi-award-winning Q Hair and Beauty in Chichester now offers a range of the latest procedures which are carried out by expert, experienced professionals you can rely on at every stage.

“The Aesthetics Suite we launched almost two years ago has proved enormously popular and continues to grow,” said Q’s managing director, Dawn Lawrence Grant.

“We are thrilled to be able to provide advice, guidance and treatment for hair loss therapy, anti-wrinkle and filler treatments and now our recentlyintroduced microblading. Our guests can be confident we only have the most

qualified consultants working with us.”

Microblading is carried out to the highest standards at Q by Charlotte Benson and is already in great demand by all age groups, with excellent and enthusiastic feedback.

A microblade is a handheld tool which has a series of micro needles used to make a fine cut, or microstroke, in the skin with pigment.

This process is known as micropigmentation and with the proper technique, microbladed eyebrow results look beautiful and completely natural, giving the effect similar to eyebrow hair. This can last between one and two years with appropriate top-up advice from Charlotte. She has appointments available at Q each Wednesday.

Also popular with a wide range of age groups and for both men and women is the hair loss therapy provided at Q by Ron Campbell, who has been involved in the hair loss industry for over 30 years and now offers at the salon in Chichester,

services usually associated with Harley Street in London.

This low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non-surgical scientific approach to hair loss, thinning or falling hair. It increases blood-flow, encouraging oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles when the low level laser light is applied to the scalp.

It is a painless, non-invasive process and a full scalp and hair check at Q will determine who can benefit from the treatment.

Almost all clients experience a marked improvement in the look and feel of their hair and after a free consultation, a programme is specifically designed to the client.

The process is excellent for women with female pattern hair loss and those with age-related generalised thinning or falling hair, damaged or broken hair, pre and post hair transplant patients, men with hereditary male pattern baldness.

the thinning process. A cost-free private and confidential consultation at Q is offered to discuss with Ron any hair lossrelated issues.

Cosmetic procedures in Q’s Aesthetics Suite are carried out by Dr Daniel Quemby, a multi-skilled doctor who many people will have seen on their TV screens as one of the inhabitants of The Island with Bear Grylls.

An exceptionally highly-qualified expert who carries out procedures to the highest-possible standards, he stresses the vital importance of going to a qualified and experienced practitioner.

He is horrified at the lack of regulation in the field of aesthetics, where procedures are frequently carried out by people with only a few hours of training.

“There are very few people I would want to work with and no-one else has met the high standards I insist on, but Q Hair and Beauty is perfect,” he explained.

“I believe that everything should be done properly - there are an awful lot of charlatans when it comes to cosmetic procedures, a practice which is not properly regulated.”

Dr Quemby said the procedures most in demand in Chichester were antiwrinkle injections and lip fillers, though he offered other aesthetic services.

“We are very proud to have Dr Quemby as a member of our team,” said Dawn Lawrence Grant. “Aesthetic treatments have experienced evergrowing popularity in a world where we all want to look and feel our best. We are delighted that such a high-calibre doctor with extensive experience has chosen to work with us and provide the very best aesthetic treatments.”

You may be lacking in vitamin B12.

So what is vitamin B12? B12 is a watersoluble vitamin, when injected into the muscle; it passes quickly and easily into the bloodstream. It aids the formation of red blood cells that are vital for carrying oxygenated blood around the body.

What can it treat? Certain conditions such as a loss of appetite, anorexia, bulimia, anaemia, hair loss, extreme dieters, lethargy, endometriosis, sleeplessness, thyroid issues, chronic IBS, malabsorption, crones, thinning and brittle nails and hair.

Research also suggests vitamin B12 injections can further support some other conditions and their associated symptoms.

These conditions include dementia, numbness, pins and needles, tiredness, poor concentration, joint pain, constipation, loose bowels, poor memory, mood swings, low mood, weight loss, joint pain, weakness, fatigue, hair loss, brittle nails and dry skin.

All these things benefit from vitamin B12.

In the elderly, the ability to absorb enough B12 decreases with progressing age.

It is helpful to mothers and babies in pregnancy, and at breast-feeding.

It helps people taking medicines to inhibit the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Frequency of treatments: Monthly shots at four-week intervals are recommended.

How is the treatment carried out? It is carried out via a single dose injection into a fleshy area such as the upper arm or thigh.

How long does it take? Approximately 30 minutes. We ask you to complete our comprehensive consultation form and our clinic practitioner will go over it with you to ensure suitability and a treatment plan, if needed.

Don’t let hand tingling become numbness.

Miguel Oliveira Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon Nuffield Health Chichester Hospital

As a Consultant specialising in surgery of the hand and wrist, I see many different conditions, the most common of which is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). The symptoms tend to progress in a fairly predictable fashion, and the condition can be reliably treated if it is identified before it has progressed beyond a certain point.

Typically, CTS causes tingling, or pins and needles, in the thumb and adjacent fingers, although it may sometimes feel as if the whole hand is involved. This is caused by pressure on one of the nerves at the wrist and is often worse when the hand is slightly raised, during day-to-day activities such as driving, brushing your hair or using a ‘phone. The tingling may also come on with prolonged activities such as writing or using a computer mouse.

One of the other symptoms that is very typical of CTS is night pain. This often wakes you up at night and the pain is associated with tingling that is usually relieved by shaking your hand. You may find that you need to get up and walk around for a bit before you can get back to sleep.

If these symptoms are allowed to progress, the pressure on the nerve can cause permanent damage that is irreversible.

Tingling is a “cry for help” from a nerve that is not functioning normally but this is a reversible symptom if the pressure is taken off the nerve.

However, if you start to develop more permanent numbness in your fingers this is a sign that the symptoms are progressing. Numbness is distinct from tingling and is a sign that the nerve is being damaged beyond repair.

The most important step in treating CTS is making the diagnosis so you should seek medical advice if you have symptoms that are suggestive of the condition. Your GP will be able to advise you and can initiate treatment or make an appropriate referral.

The treatment of CTS can involve night splints, antiinflammatories, injections or surgery (which can be done under local anaesthetic) but the success of treatment depends upon timely diagnosis.

Carpal tunnel release surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis meaning you will go home the same day as the procedure. You may go home with a splint or heavy bandage on your wrist. Once these are removed you will begin exercises and physiotherapy to regain movement in your wrist and arms, all covered within our promise to ensure you have everything you need to make a full recovery, included within the price of £2,135.

Mr Oliveira has be a Consultant in hand & wrist surgery for nine years.

All about the city in the year of 1939

By Pat Saunders, volunteer and Amanda Rogan, learning officer at the Novium Museum

declared it an emergency medical service general hospital. Ten new wards in huts were added, taking the capacity to 594 beds, as well as the addition of an operating theatre in order to cope with the influx of war casualties.

The Women’s Voluntary Service helped with the reception of evacuees, set up emergency canteens in public halls and mobile vans and went to the aid of air raid victims.

The day before war was declared, it was announced there would be evacuees coming to Chichester and the district, in total over 13,000 children, mothers with babies and teachers were evacuated to the area.

Although most local people were happy to help and support evacuees, in September, 1939, the Bishop chastised those unwilling or too uncharitable to take in evacuees. A canteen was opened at the Assembly Rooms in North Street that could provide hot meals for evacuees, five days a week.

The canteen, run by volunteers, was a huge

success and provided hundreds of meals a day. In December, 1939, Queen Elizabeth (wife of George VI) visited Chichester and West Sussex to meet some of the evacuated children and the families that had taken them in.

Many local men served in the armed forces during the war. The Royal Sussex Regiment raised 14 additional battalions for the Second World War. However, only a few saw active service, most were used for home defence or as training units.

Two of the earliest Chichester fatalities in the war were two young men serving in the Royal Navy. Boy 1st Class Cecil James Spencer (aged 17) and Ordinary Seaman Dennis Brian Spellman (aged 19) were serving aboard the HMS Royal Oak in Scapa Flow, Scotland, when their ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat, causing the loss of 800 men on October 14, 1939. Both men are commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.

AT MID-MORNING on Sunday, September 3, 1939, most people gathered around radio sets to hear Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain tell the country that Britain had declared war on Germany following Germany’s invasion of Poland. To most people, the declaration of war came as no surprise as tensions across Europe has been increasing since 1933.

In Chichester, following the declaration of war, defence precautions were quickly put into place with the formation of the Home Guard, Air Raid Precautions wardens and a national

fire service. The city council set up local Civil Defence headquarters in North Street. This was also where the ARP headquarters were.

The threat of bombing raids was ever present in the city and an assessment saw that existing facilities would not be able to cope with the threat of fire spreading through the city. Precautions were taken for this and the appearance of the city changed over the next several months - sandbags were placed outside the council offices, air raid shelters were constructed in Priory Park and large metal static water tanks were erected to provide water for extinguishing fires in the event the mains were damaged, including one to the south-west of the Guildhall in Priory Park.

Trials of air-raid sirens had already begun in April, 1939, and ARP wardens took part in large scale rehearsals and training to prepare for war. This included exercises at the Assembly Rooms in North Street which involved rescuing casualties from buildings, dealing with a crashed aircraft and responding to fire. The Chichester Observer published a diagram for the public with instructions on how to make an emergency garden trench covered with corrugated iron sheets as a makeshift shelter.

Ration books, along with ID cards and gas masks, were issued to the population.

At the outbreak of the war, the British Red Cross and the Order of St John joined together to form the Joint War Committee. They organised staff and volunteers, undertook fundraising activities, providing support after air raids as well as packing and dispatching parcels to British prisoners of war.

topping Hastings & St Leonards, who bring an unbeaten run of five matches to the Regis Oval this weekend (12.30pm).

One of those victories came last out against Chichester Priory Park when they won by 18 runs.

Matthew Geffen's side show great spirit in pushing the league leaders all the way in a close match at Horntye Park.

After batting first, Chi restricted Hastings to 182 for 8 with Joe De La Fuente taking 6-50 in an excellent bowling display.

In reply, Chi had De La Fuente to thank once again as he made a gritty 47 to edge them to the target.

But his dismissal took the wind out of Priory's sails and then came up short of springing a surprise.

Next up for Chi is a home match against relegation-threatened Ifield at Goodwood tomorrow (12.30pm).

In Division Three West, thirdplace Pagham will be looking to keep in the promotion hunt when they head to Steyning tomorrow (12.30pm).

The Nyetimber Lane side came out four wicket winners against Broadwater last weekend, with a 90-run stand from Nick Smith (47*) and Wayne Green (49) guiding the home team past the visitors' score of 196 for 9.

MIDDLETON CC will be looking to make it back-to-back wins as they head to mid-table Eastbourne in the Sussex Premier Division tomorrow (11.30am).

Sean Heather's side sit fourth in the standings after a comfortable eight-wicket win over Horsham at home last time out.

Jack Carson's five for 22 was central to the victory, ensuring the visitors tumbled from 90-2 to 132 all out.

Middleton then knocked off the runs in extra-quick time, with openers Harry Hovey (76 off 58 balls) and Heather (43) putting on 106 for the first wicket as the home side sealed the 30 point haul.

Eastbourne will be a tough nut to crack though, having defeated perennial title challengers Preston Nomads by two wickets last time out.

In Division Two, Bognor will be looking to get their fading promotion hopes back on track after a washout against Lindfield last week.

Ryan Maskell's team would have fancied their chances as they headed to their struggling opponents last weekend.

But their hopes were dashed by the rain with Bognor's ten points putting them fifth, 40 points off the top two.

Tomorrow they will host table-

SIX hardy souls from Bognor Regis Cricket Club went the extra mile for a fundraising effort - by playing a mammoth four rounds of golf in a single day.

Vice-chairman Andy Lee, first team captain Ryan Maskell, Mikey Harris, Scott Bingham, chairman Bernie Burns and Simon Love swapped bats for clubs for the epic challenge.

It all started before the sun had even risen over Bognor Regis Golf Club in Downview Road, Felpham.

But fuelled by coffee and bacon rolls, the two trios teed off and the gruelling challenge was underway.

More than 12 and a half hours, 39,000 steps and 25 miles later, the stoic six completed the challenge, raising ÂŁ2,000 plus gift aid of ÂŁ415 to be given equally to Cancer Research UK and Bognor Regis Cricket Club.

Bognor Regis Cricket Club chairman Bernie Burns said: "We couldn't think of a better way to raise money for two great causes very close to my heart.

"Our fundraising consisted of spamming our friends, colleagues, family, cricket club members and loved ones for donations.

"We started our challenge at 5.30am nervous about what was to come, by the end of the fourth round later that evening we were all contemplating doing another round for the sake of it.

"Perhaps next year we will do five rounds in one day!

"To say we had fun would be an understatement.

"Personally, it is my top golfing memory

and I do not see anything beating it.

"We are absolutely delighted to have raised £1,000 plus £207.50 gift aid for Cancer Research UK. Seventy two holes, one day and some funds for life saving research – absolutely brilliant!"

Burns and the rest of the cohort were keen to thank the golf club for donating the use of their facilities and also to the dozens of people who donated funds.

Half of the money will also support the

cricket club, which is based in Hawthorn Road and runs three Saturday sides, a women's team, a Sunday friendly team and a midweek XI. The junior section runs teams from under 9 to under 16.

Burns said the cash would help fund much-needed equipment and to pay for coaching and development of the club’s juniors, women and men players.

He added: "We welcome everyone in the community to play cricket."

Paine calls for patience as Lions look to rebuild NEW Pagham boss Bob Paine is calling for patience as he turns to youth to rebuild the first team squad.

Lions have been perennial challengers on all fronts in recent years, chalking up top five finishes in the SCFL Premier with landing cup silverware.

But a falloff in form last season saw the club slip to a bottom half finish and led to manager Tom Simmonds and a number of first team regulars leaving for pastures new.

Its now up to former East Preston manager Bob Paine to pick up the pieces - and despite having six weeks to prepare for the new campaign, the new boss is confident his approach will deliver results.

He said: "We have came into it quite late. Normally, once the season ends, we are planning for the next one and speaking to players from May time.

"So we are behind the curve and that has made it challenging as we are playing catch up with everyone else.

"We will get there. It may require some patience but rest assured we will be working very hard to get things right."

Paine has recruited virtually

an entire new team with a number of players following him to Nyetimber Lane from EP. Many of the squad got their first taste of match action on home turf this past week, with a 2-2 draw against Guildford City on Saturday followed by a 3-2 win over SCFL Division One side Selsey in midweek.

Lions' final friendly is tomorrow with Combined Counties Premier side AFC Hayes visiting the Lane (3pm).

Paine said: "We have had a lot of new players coming in as players from last year and we will also be looking at other options. Everything will be challenging to start with and everyone will need to keep their nerve.

"For me, I believe in putting infrastructure in place which is sustainable rather than a short-term approach.

He added: "A lot of the boys who have featured so far have played for us at EP and before that at Worthing.

"We have built up loyalty and they enjoy the way that we work, which is positive.

"But we remain looking at other players that know around the circuit and we will see how we get on."

f The Bognor CC team

CHICHESTER City's preseason preparations step up a gear as they play two local rivals in the space of four days.

Ahead of their first ever season at step four, Miles Rutherford's side are looking in good shape.

Five friendlies played and five wins recorded by the SCFL Premier champions, the latest of which came in midweek with a 3-0 victory at Wessex Premier side AFC Portchester with goals from Lloyd Rowlatt and a brace from Josh Clack.

But Chi will find out where they really stand ahead of their first match in the Isthmian South East campaign on August 17 at Ramsgate this week.

Tomorrow they welcome Isthmian Premier promotion hopefuls Worthing to Oaklands Park (3pm).

Then on Tuesday its another step three side Bognor in the Sussex Charity Shield at Lancing's Culver Road (7.30pm).

That match will be the last of Chi's pre-season friendlies before the season kicks off with an FA Cup extra-preliminary match against SCEFL Premier outfit Erith Town on August 10 (3pm).

- Chichester City Ladies have been drawn against Cambridge City Ladies in the preliminary round of the National League Cup on August 25 at Oaklands Park (2pm).

Stradivarius primed to make Glorious history SUSSEX-BORN trainer John Gosden believes Stradivarius can make it three in a row when he lines up in the Goodwood Cup next week.

The champion stayer is aiming to make history in the opening day highlight of the festival on Tuesday, the ÂŁ500,000 Group One Qatar Goodwood Cup, over two miles.

The 4/5 favourite's biggest challenge is likely to come from Dee Ex Bee (5/1) who represents Mark Johnston, the man responsible for the only three-time winner of the Qatar race, Double Trigger (1995, 1997 & 1998) Stradivarius has looked as good as ever in two starts this season, capturing the Group Two Yorkshire Cup at York in May before landing the Gold Cup victory at Royal Ascot last month, in which he defeated Dee Ex Bee, Master Of Reality and Cross Counter.

Speaking at a press event in Newmarket, Gosden said: "We are hopeful he can win the Goodwood Cup again, but it is going to be a tough race and there will be a lot of people aiming to make it a hard race it is going to be exciting.

"Frankie [Dettori] and

Stradivarius gel so well together - they make a great team. Stradivarius is a bit unusual for a stayer, but he is a real street fighter.

"He doesn't do a lot when he hits the front and I felt he was playing with them a bit at Ascot. He just does what he has to do and I think that has been huge contributory factor to his success."

Gosden, who was born in Lewes, also has Europe's unbeaten champion two-yearold of 2018, Too Darn Hot, featuring in the ÂŁ1-million G1 Qatar Sussex Stakes over a mile on Wednesday.

Following a setback in the spring and placed efforts in the G2 Dante Stakes at York, G1 Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh and G1 St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, the three-year-old registered his first victory of the campaign when dropped back to seven furlongs for the G1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville on July 7.

Gosden revealed that Frankel three-year-old filly Mehdaayih will take her chance in the ÂŁ600,000 G1 Qatar Nassau Stakes over nearly 10 furlongs on Thursday, August 1, a race the trainer has won four times already.

Sportinbrief î ?

Rugby CHICHESTER RFC are recruiting players of all abilities to play for their three senior teams.

The Oaklands Park side's first XV had a mixed campaign last time out, finishing in mid-table of the London One South.

Thought to be one of the most competitive Level Six leagues in the country, the Blues are seeking new recruits to boost their bid for success in 2019/20.

The club has strong community links and play their matches in attractive parkland.

Teams are based in a recently extended clubhouse.

Pre-season is already underway with training on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7.30pm to 9pm.

Anyone interested, contact Paul Colley, director of rugby, on 07880 044023 or paul. colley6@gmail.com.

f Dan Smith in action for the Rocks

BOGNOR boss Jack Pearce admits there is "added spice" as Rocks prepare for the Sussex Charity Shield clash with neighbours Chichester City.

With a fortnight to go until the Isthmian Premier season gets underway, the Nyewood Lane side look to be in good shape.

Pre-season preparations continued in this week with a 1-1 draw at Wessex Premier side Horndean, with young midfielder George Bingham getting the Rocks goal.

On Tuesday, things will step up a pace when the Sussex Senior Cup winners take on SCFL Premier champions in the county's annual curtain raiser, in aid of NSPCC. With plenty of connections between the two sides - not least former Rocks coach Darin Killpartrick now involved with City - Pearce said he expected a good contest at Lancing's Culver Road (7.30pm).

Speaking ahead of the match to the Sussex FA, he said: “There is personal pride in this game with them being our neighbours. “They did ever so well last season and they are managed by our ex-player [Miles Rutherford] and also our ex-coach of 20 years [Dabba] so there’s added spice there.

Email: sport@sussexpost.co.uk

“There will be rivalry with the sets of fans and as a manager you want to be competitive and win every game but ultimately it is about player game time and raising lots of money.�

Once Tuesday is out the way, Rocks will round off their preseason friendlies with a trip to Southern Premier side Gosport Borough on Friday (7.45pm).

Pearce partly eased his defensive worries with the loan signing of 18-year-old Joe Dandy from League One Portsmouth.

The centre back briefly appeared for the Rocks during a loan spell in October, 2018.

Now the club have moved to again add him to their ranks.

On the squad, Pearce believed the club was in good shape, with additions such as James Crane and Stu Green giving Bognor experience across the pitch.

The manager said: "We are pretty relaxed in terms of how our squad is looking, we are always looking to add quality and it is a concern to me that two centrebacks are injured and I’ve not identified a first team goalkeeper this season. “It could be that we recruit from within the squad and I have people who step up to the plate and we might not need anyone."
