Public to consult on city plan

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE MAYOR of Chichester has described the city as a jewel that needs a good polish.

THe city council got together this week to present ideas for the new Chichester neighbourhood plan to the public.

THe plan will help local people influence planning decisions in their area.

A neighbourhood plan is a

document written by a parish council to guide future development for a neighbourhood area.

THe Mayor, Cllr Richard Plowman held a public meeting on Monday evening to launch the public consultation which was well attended by people in the city.

Linda Boyce, a member of the Southern Gateway Residents Association, said that she welcomed the fact a neighbourhood plan was being worked on.

At the meeting, she said: "THis is extremely ambitious. I think it's confusing how you talk about Chichester city and Chichester and I think it needs to be spelt out each time.

"People I have spoken to think this whole thing is just about the historic centre, just North, South, East and West Street. I think you will lose the support of the surrounding neighbourhoods."

Ideas for the neighbourhood plan have already included a large international hotel of 200-250 beds, removal of level

crossings and replacement with a low level underpass, more train and bus services to and from Chichester and a metro line to Bognor Regis and the coast, a concert/theatre hall up to 550 capacity, a large nightclub and a new crematorium.

At the start of the meeting, Cllr Plowman said: "People say to me Chichester is dying. It's not dying. It is changing."

Brexit party have new candidate for the city A NEW candidate has been announced for the Brexit Party for Chichester.

Teresa DeSantis has been announced as the prospective parliamentary candidate.

Teresa is a Selsey resident and a former executive in recruitment and music consultancy. She will contest the constituency in the next general election, standing against current Conservative MP for Chichester, Mrs Gillian Keegan.

Commenting on her selection, Teresa said: “I am delighted to have been selected by the Brexit Party to represent the people of Chichester.

"I am confident that the people of Chichester will support the Brexit Party to change the two-party system which is broken and needs reform."

Teresa believes that the constituents of Chichester who voted for the Brexit Party in the European Elections (37.4 per cent) compared to the Conservatives at (11.6 per cent) will feel more empowered than ever to support the Brexit Party in their efforts to restore democracy to a new Parliament that can be trusted once again to carry out

the will of the people.

Commenting on the selection, Richard Tice, Brexit Party chairman, said: "THe Brexit Party stands ready to fight a general election with a full slate of candidates in all the UK’s 650 constituencies.

"We will take on the major parties, which have failed the British people time and time again.

"THe vast majority of our candidates are entering politics for the first time and they will come from all walks of life, backgrounds, races and religions.

"THeir greatest strength is that they are not professional politicians, but are competent individuals, connected to their local areas and issues they seek to represent.

"THey have achieved great things in their professional or personal life, from entrepreneurs, small business owners and economists – to teachers, academics, forklift driver and bankers.

"But we all share a commitment to deliver Brexit, defend democracy and change politics for good."

expertise. THis significant investment will result in more inbound tourism into West Sussex, which will benefit the local economy and create more jobs." In the first phase, 16 additional new bedrooms will be created.

THe wider hotel will also undergo an extensive transformation, which

will reference the former historic walled garden that once existed on the site. A new reception area will be created and the public spaces will be reconfigured along with extensive landscaping.

THe hotel will remain open during the expansion and refurbishment.

Plans to close new school's sixth form

Goodwood Hotel receives planning permission for renovation and expansion GOODWOOD has been granted planning permission to begin renovating the Goodwood Hotel and intends to start creating a new bedroom wing in the next few weeks.

THe South Downs National Park Authority voted to grant planning approval for the refurbishment and extension of the 91-bedroom Goodwood Hotel.

Commenting on the unanimous decision to give planning consent, Goodwood’s entertaining and hospitality managing director, Andrew Coggings, said: “We are thrilled to be given the go-ahead to move forward with this exciting project and take the Goodwood Hotel to the next level.

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A SCHOOL in Chichester has confirmed its sixth form may close - just a year after starting.

Louise New, principal of Chichester Free School, and Howard Oyns, chairman of governors, announced on Tuesday that a consultation has been opened on a proposal for a phased closure of the sixth form.

Current pupils, who started at the sixth form in September, 2018, will be able to complete their A level courses.

THe proposal would change the age range of the school to 4-16, from 4-18 but no jobs are at risk as part of the plans.

As part of the transition process, every current Year 11 student would be supported in securing the most appropriate post-16 learning pathway for September, 2020.

For current Year 11 students, the school has secured an arrangement with the headteachers and principals in the western area of secondary providers to guarantee every Year 11 student, who achieves the entry requirements in the summer 2020 GCSE exams, a place of their choice at either Bishop Luffa School, Chichester College, Chichester High School, Felpham Community College, Midhurst Rother College, THe Regis School or St Philip Howard Catholic School.

In addition, all current Year 11 students are entitled, as they always have been, to apply for a place at another post-16 provision of their choice.

Louise New and Howard Oyns state in a letter to parents, staff and pupils: "Although it is with deep and sincere regret that we are making this proposal, we feel absolutely confident that this is the right recommendation to make to

ensure the future success of our school.

"THe school is increasing in popularity and is over-subscribed in all year groups from years 7 to 11.

"THe school’s finances are also currently extremely robust. However, going forward, we predict our post-16 cohort to continue to be less than half the numbers originally expected when the school first opened.

"THis would jeopardise the school’s firm financial position and be highly detrimental to the distribution of educational resources for the rest of our pupils.

"A school or college sixth form has to be large enough to be viable andBy Kelly Wick sustainable in order to be able tokelly.wickha provide a wide enough range of highquality courses.

“We believe that the school’s focus should be on continuing to improve the quality of education in years 7 to 11 as well as developing our all-through approach from primary to secondary.

"It is important to emphasise that no decision has yet been made and we would encourage all interested parties to participate in the consultation."

THe consultation will run until Monday, November 25, 2019.

f Linda and Ken Hannam behind the bar at The Royal Oak

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A COUPLE who run a popular country pub in the district said goodbye to their regulars this week after almost 21 years.

Ken and Linda Hannam have been running Fuller's pub, THe Royal Oak at Lagness, since 1998 but handed in their notice in February.

THe couple left the pub this week, along with punters' favourite African Grey parrot, Alfie, and their dog, Tilly, to start their new venture running THe Black Horse in West Tytherley, near Salisbury.

Ken and Linda, who have been

married since 1982, and have run various pubs together throughout their marriage, missed their 21st anniversary at the establishment by just four days.

Speaking to the Chichester Post, Ken said: "I'm feeling happy but sad. I haven't been well for the past couple of years.

"I have had to have major surgery. It's time for us to just slow down in a nice country pub.

"I want to thank our customers for all their support in the past. It's been really lovely living here.

"We have had a wonderful time here but we feel that after 21 years it is time for a change so we decided to go one pace slower and take on a country pub

in a small village."

Long-standing barmaid, Kay Martin, who joined the pub in January, 1999, said: "It has been a memorable experience working with them both.

"I am so grateful for the knowledge and values I have gained through working with them."

Linda added: "It's a difficult time.

I’d just like to say thank you for all the custom people have given us over the years.

"We would be happy to see our old customers at our new venue during licensing hours."

THe new owner took over the business yesterday (THursday).

"For 2,000 years Chichester has been changing and it is important that we recognise that and do something about it. We have all seen the decline in the high street, particularly retail.

"We have seen shops closing, some of those which we have known and loved for many years. We need to do something to revitalise this."

THe Chichester Neighbourhood Plan has ten fundamental principles which include: • THe city declared a climate change emergency in June, 2019, which must be backed by real and effective action • THe city views are determined by the cathedral and these views respected and all buildings to be subservient and generally no more than four storeys high • THe city economy needs revitalising, particularly the city centre and attracting more visitors to the city through tourism, and the meetings, incentive and conference industry (MICE) • THe neighbourhood plan will be made by the people for the people of Chichester and will be part of planning legislation

Anna Whitty, city planning adviser at Chichester City Council, said: "We have a lot of politicians who have various ideas but it's not their plan.

It's a neighbourhood plan and it has to come from the people and it has to have the support of the people.

"At the end of the day, if it doesn't get a yes vote from the people it will have been a complete waste of time.

We need to hear from everybody."

At the meeting, Stuart Hopkins, owner of footwear store, Zig Zag in South Street, said he was a bit confused about the question of age range. He said: "I'm really excited by lots of things you have said.

"THere is so much scope to take the buses out of the town and bring down the pollution. THere is so many things you can do if you re-route the buses.

"I don't want to be rude but I find it really bizarre that in your questionnaire you have an under 18 section, an 18-64 section and over 64.

"I'm 38, I have a 14-year-old son and a 65-year-old father and we all very different views. I also don't understand why there is a separate section asking about sexual orientation."

Mrs Whitty said it was important to get a cross-section of the whole community responding.

` New leader THE CONSERVATIVES have chosen their candidate to be the next leader of West Sussex County Council.

Cllr Louise Goldsmith stepped down from the role earlier this month saying she wanted to hand over to a new leader so they can prepare for the next round of elections in 2021 ‘in good time’.

However, her resignation followed on from the leak of a damning report into children’s services, which were rated as ‘inadequate’ by Ofsted back in May. THe Conservatives have chosen Cllr Paul Marshall, cabinet member for children and young people, as their preferred candidate.

In effect, this means Mr Marshall will be the next leader of the county council, given the Tories’ large majority, something which will be confirmed at a full council meeting today.

THe council's Conservative group tweeted: “Congratulations to Paul Marshall, elected new leader at our group meeting this morning.”

Cllr Goldsmith congratulated Cllr Marshall on Twitter as did Cllr Jacquie Russell, cabinet member for fire and rescue and communities, and Tilgate and Furnace Green county councillor Duncan Crow, who also stood for leader.

Cllr Marshall was praised, alongside John Readman, director of children and family services, as major ‘assets to improvement’ in the leaked report written by a commissioner looking into whether West Sussex has made adequate improvements in its children’s services following Ofsted’s inspection.

MP driving forward with plans for A27

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk CHICHESTER'S MP has met with the Transport Secretary to get the wheels rolling on the A27.

Gillian Keegan discussed the A27 improvement scheme with the new Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps.

Mrs Keegan pressed for a solution to this long-standing issue which has made little progress since previous suggestions put forward by the community were rejected by Highways England as either unviable or unaffordable.

THe Transport Secretary had to cut his meeting short as at the time he was called away to handle the collapse of THomas Cook – which instigated the largest peacetime repatriation of British citizens in our history.

Mrs Keegan is working to secure funding for an all options consultation that includes both a northern and southern route to ensure a transparent process, that can deliver a workable solution that the community supports.

THe MP said: "We need a solution to this long-standing problem which severely affects our daily commute, local economy, environment and at times our sanity.

"I am committed to ensuring we get funding so that this process keeps moving with the community at its centre.

I am working to secure funding for an 'all options' consultation so a scheme for Chichester can benefit from the

further £25 billion the Government has announced it will invest in our roads.

"I am determined that our needs in Chichester are heard by those at the top of government."

Back in February, Mrs Keegan agreed to urgently seek a meeting with the Minister of State for the Department of Transport to ask for funding for the A27.

Chichester District Council leader Tony Dignum and West Sussex County Council leader Louise Goldsmith met last week with Mrs Keegan to discuss how to respond to a letter from Highways England.

THe letter rejected both ‘Build A Better A27’ (BABA27) concept options for the A27 Chichester, including the preferred mitigated northern route supported by both councils.

Both councils had confirmed their policy position on supporting both the mitigated northern route and the mitigated southern route with the MP.

f Racing from a previous season finale | Pic: George Gunn

Wet weather forces races off GOODWOOD Racecourse were forced to cancel their season finale race day.

Harvest, Hops and Horseracing was due to take place on Sunday, but was called off due to the bad weather.

A spokesperson for Goodwood Racecourse said: "We regret to inform you that the season finale at Goodwood Racecourse on Sunday, October 13, has been abandoned.

"THis is due to the extensive wet weather which we have experienced over the last few days and the unsafe racing conditions which it has caused.

"THe safety of the jockeys, horses and our racegoers continue to be our utmost priority and we hope you can understand why this decision has

been made.

"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this might have caused and very much hope to welcome you back to the racecourse in 2020."

Racegoers due to attend the event were looking forward to the celebrations at the traditional, ruralthemed, end-of-year fixture.

One ticket-holder posted on the Facebook event: "Must've been a difficult decision to make for the clerk of the course, but rather that than risk potential fatalities to the beautiful horses and their jockeys."

Chichester schoolchildren raise funds during triathlon

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk MORE than 50 teams of children from a Chichester school took part in their first ever triathlon this week.

Grey skies and drizzle could not dampen the spirits of 150 children, aged between eight and 13, from Westbourne House School, who swam, cycled and ran their hearts out in a bid to raise as much money as they could for their school charities.

In teams of three or four, with names including Cool Carrots, Running Wild and Golden Eagles,each pupil swam and cycled in relay and then they ran different distances in their teams according to their age. Nobody was timed as it was all about supporting each other, teamwork and having fun.

"It was brilliant fun," said one Year 6 pupil.

"THe best bit was all being able to run together at the end and celebrating on the podium."

Another Year 8 pupil added: "It felt different to a football match because the whole school was working together to help others – there was a really great atmosphere."

Westbourne House School headmaster, Martin Barker said: "Now we no longer have Saturday school lessons, we have more time to spend on whole school community events and support others who need our help.

"I am so proud of all the children who threw themselves into every discipline in spite of the weather and I loved hearing the laughter and seeing their smiles.

"At Westbourne House School, we are very keen to encourage every child to do as many different activities as possible to keep healthy and happy and be the best that they can be.

"We hope to do more events like our triathlon to support our local community as well as share our school with others."

Helen Barker, head of Westbourne House School’s fundraising committee, added: "We are extremely grateful to all the children, staff, parents and our sponsor, Jackson-Stops in Midhurst, who made this event happen.

"We have raised nearly £2,000 for our local, national and international charities and had great fun in the process!"

THe charities the children at Westbourne House School have voted to support are: Chichester Down Syndrome Support Group, which helps local children with Down syndrome, and their families, in the Chichester and Arun districts; Team UnLimbited, which makes 3D arms for children who were born without them; Sausage Tree Charity, which advances the education and wellbeing of children in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia, and the Westbourne House Bursary Fund for children who would like to consider a Westbourne House education.

f Diagram helping residents protect their home | Pic: Sussex Police

Sussex Police tell residents 'protect your home by protecting your garden' SUSSEX Police have reiterated strong advice for residents to protect their home from burglars following more break-ins in the Chichester area.

Reports were received by police of break-ins to garages in Stanbury Close, Bosham, between Wednesday, October 9, and Saturday, October 12.

Bikes have been targeted and stolen.

Police say protecting your garden and outbuildings not only keeps bikes and other valuables in your shed safe, but can also stop burglars getting into your home.

THe house diagram above shows where planting and fences can help protect your house.

1. Low front boundary. Keep hedges and walls at the front of your house low (under one metre) so burglars have nowhere to hide.

2. Secure side gate. Keep side gates locked at all times. Open gates mean burglars can easily access your home without being seen by

fantastic fundraising effort.

"THe funds raised will help support our children with Down syndrome, for example, those who go to our pre-school early development group learning sounds with games, music and bubbles and our school-age children who need vital one-toone speech therapy."

Jackson-Stops director Nick Ferrier said: "I was very proud to see the staff, parents and children participate so cheerfully in the Westbourne House triathlon, which underpinned fundraising for some excellent charities.

"It was a really heartening day and Jackson-Stops was delighted to play its part in sponsoring such a great event."

passers-by or neighbours.

3. High side and rear boundaries with trellis and spiky defensive planting. Keep hedges, walls and fences around your back garden high (over 1.8 metres). Add lightweight trellis to gates and fences and plant some prickly plants to make it harder for burglars to climb over.

4. Gravel driveway and path. Gravel driveways and paths make it harder for burglars to go undetected.

5. Security light. Install an outside security light so intruders can’t approach without being seen.

6. Intruder alarm system. Install a burglar alarm system.

7. Secure shed door and window. Always keep your shed locked and secured. Often, sheds contain valuables such as power tools and bicycles.

8. Never leave tools lying around. THey can be used as a way of breaking into your home.

A walk in the track for dogs

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk THE HISTORIC Goodwood Motor Circuit might be more famous as the location for the Revival but this November, the track will be playing host to dogs rather than cars as it stages the very first Goodwood charity dog walk in aid of Canine Partners UK. From midday on Sunday, November 3, following the Breakfast Club event at the Motor Circuit, Goodwood is inviting dogs of all shapes and sizes to bring their owners for a walk around the 2.4 mile circuit.

Visitors can follow in the tyre tracks of motorsport greats such as Sir Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart and Jim Clark, explore the former Battle of Britain airfield and see the circuit from a completely different perspective.

f The Rolls-Royce SRH returns home

The smallest Rolls-Royce with the biggest heart THE BESPOKE and fully electric Rolls-Royce SRH hand-built for St Richards Hospital has returned to the home of Rolls-Royce.

THe one-of-a-kind mini car was created out-of-hours by apprentices and their supervisors at the factory in order that children facing surgery at the local paediatric hospital might drive themselves to the operating theatre.

THe Rolls-Royce SRH made the trip home for one night to help launch the Love Your Hospital ‘First Fifty Club’.

A new corporate fundraising initiative, the ‘First Fifty Club’ encourages West Sussex businesses to get their entrepreneurial thinking caps on and raise significant funds for local hospitals.

Love Your Hospital is the dedicated charity for the three hospitals that make up Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust: St Richard’s Hospital, Worthing Hospital and Southlands Hospital, Shoreham.

THe charity provides vital funds to support hospital projects beyond NHS funding, including providing state-of-the-art medical equipment, improving treatment facilities for patients, supporting staff development and enhancing the

hospital environment for all.

Amanda Tucker, head of charity, Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "It is a real honour that so many local businesses were able to join us at this very special venue as we launched our corporate ‘First Fifty Club’ fundraising campaign.

"Local corporate support is vital and ensures that Love Your Hospital can continue to make a real difference to patient experience across all three of our hospitals.”

THe ‘smallest Rolls-Royce’ allows children awaiting surgery to drive themselves to the operating theatre, through the paediatric unit corridors which are lined with ‘traffic signs’.

THe experience of ‘self-drive to theatre’ aims to reduce child patient stress. Since it began in 2017, more than 1,300 children have driven it.

Andrew Ball, head of corporate relations at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said: "We were delighted to support Love Your Hospital.

"THe car has already brought smiles to more than 1,300 children and their families at a particularly challenging time in their lives, and will continue to make the experience a little less stressful for many more young people during treatment."

Schoolchildren help combat loneliness with a postcard

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk RECEPTION class through to year 6 pupils from Compton and Up Marden CE Primary are participating in a national campaign to combat loneliness by sharing stories and friendship across the country.

Postcards of Kindness was created

by Your Health Group – a care home provider with ten homes across the UK. THey set up a campaign asking people to send postcards to their residents. THey have also encouraged other care homes and care providers to get involved, with now over 100 homes participating across the country.

"We want to combat loneliness and isolation across the country and remind our residents that there’s always somebody thinking of them, regardless of where in the world the postcards have come from," commented a spokesperson from Your Health Group.

"Imagine being able to travel the world through card writers while they share their holiday adventures; residents’ memories are stirred and imaginations piqued."

Compton and Up Marden CE primary pupils have been busy writing about their wonderful countryside setting, their school uniform, school dinner and favourite lessons.

Ten-year-old, Terri-Jayne Dyssell said: "I am enjoying writing and posting letters rather than sending emails.

"Posting letters seems old fashioned, but it means we can enjoy writing to elderly people who don’t have mobile devices, and they can reply to us."

Chloe McClelland, also aged ten, said: "THis is such a good idea as the elderly people know that they aren’t left out or left feeling lonely - and we can show them

that there are people, like us, who still care."

Head teacher, Mrs Claire Inskip added: "THe campaign links so well with our vision and values. We are a church school and we care deeply about others and their feelings.

Water way to go as swimmers take on challenge of 5k and 10k races

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk IT WAS a day of water on Saturday for many and not just the rain falling from the sky.

Set in the fresh water lake of Westhampnett, swimmers had a choice to take on the distance of 5k or 10k and swim against themselves, beat the clock or challenge a teammate in the water and go head to head for Tribal's end of season open water lake swim challenge 2019.

THe event was perfect for experienced open water swimmers who enjoy a challenge but also attracted novice open water swimmers, trying to complete their first open water distance.

Rachel Jack, from Southbourne, swam the 5k while her husband, Philip, cheered from the sidelines.

She said: "Around 18 months ago I was diagnosed with a chronic migraine disorder where I would suffer with symptoms 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sometimes the symptoms were mild and sometimes I had bad days.

"After a lot of tests I received the diagnosis and because medication wasn't very effective, I started swimming.

"Sadly, I lost my mum at the beginning of this year and carried on swimming because it helped with my migraines but also my grief.

"A friend of mine encouraged me to start swimming in open water and I completed the Bournemouth pier to pier swim which was 1.4 miles long.

"I decided to give this one a go and just really wanted to complete it. I am really pleased!"

THe swim has inspired swimmer, Mark Walford, from Ford, who has his sights set on Lake Windermere next.

He said: "I completed the 10k on Saturday. I had never swum over 3.8k and only completed a couple of lake swims before.

"I found it quite tough but really good.

THe water was brisk but pleasant to be in for exercise. THe weather was perfect with no wind and just a bit of rain.

"THe whole event was really well organised and I'm now looking at doing some more events next year, hopefully I will do Lake Windemere which is 10.5 miles. THat's a big challenge and this was just a stepping stone really."

THe female winner of the 10k race, Grayling Clayton, from Hastings, said she was really surprised to find out she had the record time.

She said she wore a wet suit especially designed by her PE teacher friend called a FIT wet suit.

She said: "I started doing open water swimming this year but before that I had always been in the pool.

"THis is my fifth event this year and the longest distance I've done.

"I like setting my own challenges and challenging myself but I was really shocked to find out I was in first place.

"THis race was the end of season but I'm definitely doing more next year. THis was my third race at this venue.

"I love the lake. It's a bit of a way to

come from Hastings but it's a really nice place to go. THe organisers are really friendly and it has a really nice atmosphere."

Organisers Gemma Le Roy and Martin Peterson were pleased with the event.

Gemma said: "THis event marks the end of our busy season of swimming, running and multi-sport events for adults and children.

"At this swimming event we offer a range of distances to accommodate all athletes.

"Held in Westhampnett Lake at Chichester Watersports, the freshwater lake that we use is perfect for long distance swimming as it offers the security of a lake but the opportunity to get some real distance under your belt in the open water.

"All of our competitors are well looked after and receive chip timed race results, a bespoke medal to the distance they have swam, on the day nutrition, refreshments and event photos.

"We pride ourselves on taking the time to get to know our athletes, we are well known for our finish line hugs, friendly atmosphere and seamless event management.

"THe support you get from us and our volunteer team is second to none. THis event is back in the diary for 2020 on Sunday, October 11."

Selsey cyclist tours the UK

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A CYCLIST known as THe Tourist Dog has finished cycling the entire UK coast in four and a half months.

Starting and finishing in Selsey, the 5,000 miles cycle ride began on June 2, 2019, and concluded on World Mental Health Day, THursday, October 10.

Lewis Stephens is THe Tourist Dog, a determined underdog with a mission to cycle the UK coastline.

He has gained approximately 750 Facebook followers and around 440 Instagram followers and he also has had lots of press coverage and been supported by his bike brand, Claud Butler.

Lewis has ridden in aid of chosen charity, THe Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), which is leading a movement against suicide, the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK and the cause of 18 deaths every day.

Lewis has talked about mental health and the pressures of growing up to 100 teenagers on the NCS programme, which is one of his personal highlights of the tour.

Lewis said: "CALM fit perfectly with me due to everyday experiences of not only my own thoughts but the blatant negative emotion written on the psyche of others. Most alarmingly, on the faces of men who seem to want to ignore it as much as possible. With an ever-growing rise in the aid of machines to support us, many of us are becoming reliant on something else to find us a level of calm that can only take you so far."

One of Lewis' biggest aims is to connect with people and to share sup-port and

experiences. In Fort William, he learned of a men’s mental health group which was set up by someone who had lost a friend to suicide.

Originally, Lewis was cycling 50 miles a day and living on £5 per day relying on the kindness of strangers.

He believes in the spirit of community and gives back wherever he can. When Lewis was hosted for a weekend in Newquay by restaurant Reefs Lewis he insisted on volunteering as a pot-washer to ‘pay’ for his stay.

THe trip evolved and in Scotland his challenge was to live for £20 for 20 days which captured the public’s imagination, with offers as incredible as army ration packs, lots of free accommodation and even people who cycled some of the route with him.

Lewis wanted to set this challenge to make himself vulnerable and to really highlight that when you need help you have to reach out to people.

THankfully, people delighted in this and he completed the challenge.

He added: "I've had close friends whose family members have had their own struggles due to problems that arise through no fault of their own and at times I've experienced the same emotions.

"I feel that by looking for alternate ways of dealing with problems there are ways to overcome this issue. CALM for me personally is the perfect charity to make the first steps to that change.

“THe bike tour wasn’t planned, it stemmed from a book I found in France.

I read it and said I was going to do it. I had no idea how the journey would develop, but physically and metaphorically I’m along for the ride."

A song fit for a royal baby

By Lotte Pegler lotte.pegler@sussexpost.co.uk from Eastergate, STUDENTS Westergate and Tangmere are the first in a series of schools to sing for the royal baby.

THe group of 114 pupils came together on Wednesday at Ormiston Six Villages Academy in Westergate to perform and record their song Walk With Us. Once completed their song which will be played to new prince, Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor.

Singer, song writer Emily Barden and Ken Burton, who appears regularly on BBC1 Songs Of Praise, wrote lyrics thanks to the help of students from across Sussex who sent in their suggestions.

Emily said: “It’s a musical gift from the community of Sussex, West Sussex Music, and Ken to this newborn baby.

We’re saying here is our land, come share it with us.

“Ken had an idea and got in touch with West Sussex music. THey then got in touch with me.

“Ken and I contacted each other and West Sussex music sent out an email across Sussex.

“I sorted through everyone’s ideas and got it together into one form. We wrote the song one afternoon in front of the piano at my house. Ken then went away and produced the track sound.

Ken said: “THe track is an accumulation of different sounds from across Sussex

and the UK. “We’re representing the different cultures in the UK, kind of like how Harry and Meghan are, too.”

THe Year 7 and 8 Ormiston students were joined by Year 6 pupils from Eastergate Primary School and Tangmere Primary Academy.

Year 8 students Hollie Glasspool and Farrin Maleki-Raee were among the Ormiston pupils.

Hollie said: “I have always loved singing. I do choirs outside of school and I have already done some stuff with Emily before when she was a judge on a competition I took part in. I’m in a choir called Little Lyrics. Today has been great just getting to sing with my friends.”

“We did singing last year with Emily,” Farrin said, “and I really enjoyed that” “I wanted to do that again. THe recording part was great because we finally came together. It’s amazing that people are going to hear it and it’s great we take part in it.”

Ellie THorn and Tempo Nosivu, from Tangmere Primary Academy, both in Year 6, went to the school for the day to join in.

Tempo said: “I wasn’t 100 per cent sure about doing it at the start, but it has been really fun. Being with my friends is nice. It’s amazing that we get to sing for Archie and that lots of people are going to hear the song.”

Emily and Ken hope to have the song completed and ready for release by Christmas.

` Obese children

f Students practicing before the recording

f Ken Burton

ONE-FIFTH of four to five-year-olds in West Sussex are overweight or obese – around 1,700 children.

Figures presented to the county’s Health and Wellbeing Board showed the numbers were even higher for children in Year 6, aged ten and 11, with 2,300 having a weight problem.

While the West Sussex figures were slightly lower than the national average, public health consultant Jenny Hacker said: “Just being average in the middle of an epidemic isn’t really good enough for us.

"THere will be a number of children in every class who are overweight and obese. Perhaps the fewer of them the worse the stigma is. We need to go beyond the numbers and really get our act together in terms of healthy weight."

THe figures showed that excess weight and obesity was most prevalent in children in Arun and Crawley, while the problem was lowest in youngsters in Horsham.

Some sources suggested as many as 40,000 children aged two to 15 across the county have a weight problem.

In an attempt to tackle the issue, a healthy weight steering group will be launched in January, with the likes of schools nurses, caterers and psychologists working together with environmental health, parks and leisure teams to come up with a support and prevention agenda.

Board members made a number of suggestions such as providing fresh fruit at children and family centres, encouraging more supermarkets to put out free fruit for children, convincing hospitals to stop stocking sugary and fatty snacks.

College book A CREATIVE writing group at Chichester College has published its first book.

‘THe Last Word’ is an anthology which brings together six short stories written by students at the college.

Steven Galloway, a lecturer in additional support at the college and a published author in his own right, has spearheaded the project, working with students to help them develop their ideas and bring the book to fruition.

He said: “I have been really impressed by the standards that these students have reached. THey have shown great creativity and imagination, as well as commitment and determination to turn their ideas into stories.

“Most of the students in the group have various additional needs, and it has provided an outlet for them as well as an

opportunity for them to develop social and communication skills.

“And now they are published writers.

I hope they are as proud of their achievements as I am.”

Eighteen-year-old animation student Harry Crampton’s story ‘THe Willow Tree’ is among the six featured in the book.

He said: “I really enjoy writing and this is a nice calm place for us to be creative.

When I heard our stories were being published, it was great to hear. I was surprised to see my story in print – I just thought ‘wow’, I can’t believe it!”

THe book is currently available in the college’s library and is on sale in the campus’ ‘Blissful Bookshop’. It is hoped it will soon be available to buy and download online.

f An app could be a lifesaver

Three words

THE NEED for more people to download a potentially lifesaving app has been raised at a meeting of the West Sussex Health and Wellbeing Board.

While discussing the work being carried out to prepare for the coming winter months, members were told about the What3words app and the vital help it could provide, particularly for elderly people who may have suffered a fall.

THe meeting was told: "THere’s a fantastic app that can find you anywhere and you give the three words to the emergency services.

"I don’t think all of our emergency services are using it. It’s very precise and if we can encourage more of that it might help."

THe app’s developers divided the world into 57 trillion 10ft by 10ft squares, giving each a unique, randomly assigned three-word address.

For example, the address of the Chichester Cross is faced.mops.zone.

For anyone hurt, lost or in trouble, giving friends, family or the emergency services the three-word address shown on the What3words app would bring help straight to them.

Committee chairman Amanda Jupp said the app had been available at the recent Barns Green half-marathon.

News 17

` Sussex libraries LIBRARY users are being asked to share their thoughts on proposed budget savings which would close the mobile library service and see a reduction in opening hours at four of the main libraries.

THe consultation is running until November 13, and will help inform the decision due to be taken by West Sussex County Council cabinet member, Cllr Jacquie Russell, in November.

THe suggested savings are to: • Cease the mobile library service from April ,2020 • Reduce the evening opening hours in the four main libraries by one hour (from 7pm to 6pm) at Crawley, Chichester, Horsham and Worthing, from April, 2020.

THese changes would result in a total year on year saving of £175,000.

Cllr Russell said: "Since becoming cabinet member, I have often been asked about what will happen to libraries across the county. As I have said before, we need to look at doing things in a more affordable way, but ultimately my aim is to preserve the core of the library service."

THe Bognor Regis mobile library has been taken off the road as it is no longer roadworthy and the council says it is now in a similar position with the Horsham vehicle, too.

New support officers for every community

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk EVERY community in Sussex will have a named police community support officer (PCSO) starting from next month, Sussex Police has announced.

THe confirmation follows an investment in 100 extra PCSOs secured through local funding by the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner – bringing the total number to 296.

Assistant Chief Constable for Local Policing Julia Chapman said the decision would put ‘eyes and ears’ into every part of the county and give local people a direct point of contact for local policing issues and concerns.

She said: "When a new local policing model was introduced three years ago, we said it would be scalable. Now, thanks to this additional investment, we’re in a position to strengthen local policing and we know this is what local communities want to see.

"Our PCSOs do an incredible job, every day, working alongside their police officer colleagues to prevent and detect crime and tackle anti-social behaviour in local communities.

"THis change means communities will soon begin to see and feel the benefits of their investment as new PCSOs are deployed over the coming months, where they will provide a visible policing presence and be a point of contact for local policing issues."

THe change will take effect from Monday, November 4, when all existing PCSOs will adopt responsibility for a defined geographical area, and

continue to be rolled out over the coming months as additional PCSOs are recruited and deployed.

It comes in addition to recent announcements on the recruitment of 379 additional police officers for the county over the next four years, 250 funded locally and 129 through central government funding.

Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne said: "My focus groups and conversations with local people clearly show that the public want PCSOs back in their communities, forming that essential and reassuring link with police.

"Neighbourhood policing needed modernising five years ago and that included giving PCSOs the necessary skills to help support police officers and investigations.

"Since then, Sussex Police have transformed PCSOs with more knowledge skills and powers, but at the same time keeping the best of the old model where PCSOs were known by their local communities.

"I know that communities across the county will be delighted to hear that Sussex Police are making their PCSOs more accessible and more visible by increasing the numbers on our streets by 100 and providing a named PCSO for each ward area."

PSCOs will continue to form part of wider local prevention teams, ensuring police resources are focused on the most critical issues, but spend more time in their dedicated area.

THe 100 new posts will be allocated based on demand with details available locally and at: sussex.police. uk from Monday, November 4.

Applications opened on Monday, October 7, and close on Wednesday, January 15, 2020.

for education and skills, said: "It is really important that parents and carers submit their applications on time to stand the best chance of their child going to one of their preference schools. It’s always a good idea to visit schools and look at their websites first, so people’s preferences are informed."

THe closing date for all primary, infant and junior school applications is 11.59pm on Wednesday, January 15, 2020. Secondary school admissions are currently open for September, 2020, and close on THursday, October 31, 2019.

LETTERS

to the editor

Readers' letters are welcomed by the Chichester Post.

They should be limited to less than 300 words and be submitted by 5pm on Monday to be considered for publication in that week's edition. We reserve the right to edit letters before they are published.

They should be emailed to: news@sussexpost.co.uk, posted to: Post Newspapers Ltd, 63 London Road, Bognor Regis, PO21 1DF or handed in to our office at this address.

Dear Editor, When one reads Highways England’s consultation brochure about a proposed Arundel bypass one can’t help doubting the veracity of some of the information one can’t easily verify one’s self when one reads the nonsense they write about Storrington in trying to justify a new road.

Any driver going to face the congestion at Storrington from the Fontwell direction will not be doing so because of any perceived minor delays at peak times at Arundel.

It will be because they are going on towards Horsham or possibly continuing on through Steyning to avoid the huge delays that are common through Worthing.

It is common for delays of hours in getting from one side of Worthing to the other if there is the slightest incident. Just listen to Radio Sussex’s traffic bulletins. Worthing to the River Adur is the worst section of the A27.

Followed by the Polegate area then Chichester. Arundel seldom gets a mention.

If there must be a new bypass at Arundel the obvious route is from the east bank of the river to go south of the station and join up at the Crossbush junction.

THere’s not even any need for it to be a dual-carriageway. Any slight delays at Arundel at peak times are caused for eastbound traffic by the station pedestrian crossing and for westbound at the Crossbush traffic lights.

A few years ago, Highways England bought all the houses alongside the A27 through Worthing with the intention of building an online dualcarriageway. After years of inaction, the houses were sold off. No doubt at a great loss to the public purse.

Yours sincerely P.A Blackman, Tye Lane, Walberton

Friday, October, 18, 2019 Dear Editor, THank you for publishing the article regarding the outcome of the High Court Hearing after the Judicial Review brought by the campaign group Back To 60. THere are, however, some points I need to clarify; Firstly, WASPI has a different ‘ask’ to Back To 60. THeir course of action – the court case - was not ‘backed’ by WASPI. To the contrary it was felt to claim discrimination was not a strong case and therefore to be avoided.

However, WASPI have commended their efforts to get to that stage, it takes a lot of hard work, and is why through the DWP complaints process and maladministration has been deemed an effective way forward.

Secondly, WASPI are not just campaigning for ‘a better pension’, they are bringing to the attention of government and the 3.8 million women affected, the unfair way the scheduling was rolled out, then escalated in the later 2011 pensions Act, doubling or sometimes tripling the SP age changes for some women.

THe successive governments failed to inform the majority of women that this was happening for over 14 years (1995 to 2009) and, while the first phase got underway, the coalition government decided to change retirement ages yet again.

THirdly, the WASPI campaign greatly appreciates the ongoing support from cross-party MPs and are heartened by the recent strengthening of back-up at the two party political conferences held in the south last month.

As all campaigns challenging the government on this (there are over 15 variations) hope to derive a successful outcome, knowing who is who is essential, and I hope this is helpful.

Kind Regards Jill Robertson Violet Close, North Bersted

Raising cakes and cash for hedgehogs

By Kelly Wickham kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A CHARITY in the district is holding a special competition to help raise awareness for some prickly characters.

Each year, Brent Lodge Wildlife Hospital, based in Sidlesham, provides care and rehabilitation facilities for over 3,500 sick, injured or orphaned wildlife patients.

By the end of the season, Brent Lodge will have cared for between 250-300 hedgehog casualties. THeir dedicated team of staff and volunteers provide life-saving care, specialised food, treatment and recuperation at their most vulnerable time, with the aim to release as many healthy rehabilitated hedgehogs back to the wild in spring.

With the hedgehog population declining dramatically, the species needs all the help it can get.

THis year, to help raise awareness of the plight faced by hedgehogs and to raise vital funds for over wintering care to hundreds of hedgehogs, Brent Lodge will be running a social media based bakeoff style hedgehog cake competition called Great Brent Lodge Bake Off. "Social media is fast becoming a powerful platform to raise awareness about the causes that matter so we want our Facebook followers to get baking, make a hedgehog-inspired cake and help raise awareness about hedgehogs this October," said Asha Park, supporter relations and fundraising manager.

CHICHESTER CINEMA AT NEW PARK

October 18-24 THE multi-award-winning Sea of Shadows paints an engrossing portrait of mankind’s encroaching, self-inflicted demise, with moneyed interests leading us, like the pied piper, off the cliff and into the sea in this Austrian documentary charting Mexican drug cartels and Chinese traffickers joining forces to poach the rare totoaba fish in the Sea of Cortez.

Director Michael Winterbottom focuses on another thrilling shadowy underworld in The Wedding Guest, starring Dev Patel, a British man with a secret who travels to Pakistan for a wedding but is armed with duct tape, a shotgun and an plan to kidnap the bride-to-be.

From Argentina comes the lauded Rojo, a hypnotic drama following Claudio, a successful lawyer whose perfect life starts to unravel when a private detective comes to town asking questions.

Said to be an early runner for Oscar nomination is Ad Astra, starring Brad Pitt as astronaut Roy, who travels to the outer edges of the solar system in search of his missing father (Tommy Lee Jones) and to unravel a mystery that threatens our planet.

The film is an engaging and hopeful exploration about the consistency of human feelings, no matter where you are in the galaxy.

A film to wallow in is Top Hat, the 1935 classic, screwball musical comedy starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in a glamorous, enthralling throwback to the glory days of early Hollywood.

Expect effortless, masterful dance sequences on the big screen.

The cinema celebrates Black History Month with five films and events, including South Africa on Trial, (Oct 19) a day event on the Rivonia Trial featuring Nelson Mandela and his eight co-defendants. Two outstanding speakers will discuss the history and the aftermath of this ‘trial of the century’ in 1963-’64. With film clips.

Life is Wonderful, a documentary on this trial, is screened on October 25, the cinema welcoming director Sir Nick Stadlen, a former high court judge for a Q&A. Do the Right Thing, Spike Lee’s famous 30-year-old film - smart, urgent, important - follows residents in a single day in a Brooklyn area whose residents are African Americans and Hispanics. One single incident sparks tension and violence, bringing out the worst in all.

Renée Zellweger is Judy. It’s winter 1968 and Judy Garland is in swinging London for a gruelling sold-out run at Talk of the Town. Will wit, reminiscence and adoring fans help the ‘world’s greatest entertainer’ to continue at the top of her game?

Performance Events this week: Turandot (The Met, Oct 18); Mathew Bourne’s Romeo and Juliet (Oct 22, Nov 3) and ROH’s live Don Pasquale with Bryn Terfel in Donizetti’s witty comedy, on October 24.

NEW RELEASE

Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil

Adventure, Family, Fantasy Screened at Picturedrome Cinema PICKING up several years after Maleficent, in which audiences learned of the events that hardened the heart of Disney's most notorious villain and drove her to curse a baby Princess Aurora, Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil continues to explore the complex relationship between the horned fairy and the soon to be Queen.

Revealing the pain caused by a cruel first love, Maleficent’s immeasurable power was rivalled only by her regret for the curse she placed in the throes of that heartbreak.

But having battled to save Aurora, a fragile truce stands between the kingdoms of man and magic. In this epic fantasy adventure, Maleficent and Aurora form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within.

With Aurora set to marry Prince Phillip, we are introduced to his parents – King John and Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer), who seem openly hostile to magical beings.

Manipulated and antagonised, Maleficent snaps, setting off a chain of events that sets them on a course for all-out human/ magical war. Although 2019’s Disney hype may have gone to live-action re-skins and a low-key superhero team-up, Mistress Of Evil presents a complex, vulnerable antihero. And this is where the real Disney magic lies.

Zombieland: Double Tap Action, Comedy, Horror Screened at Picturedrome Cinema

A DECADE after Zombieland became a hit film and a cult classic, the lead cast have reunited with director Ruben Fleischer and original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick for Zombieland: Double Tap. This follow-up to 2009’s zom-com finds our gang of four expertly traversing post-apocalyptic America, trouncing the undead as they go and taking up residency in the White House.

Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) and the returning crew – Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) and Wichita (Emma Stone) – become all protective over Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) when she takes off on a road trip with a new hippy boyfriend (nicknamed Berkeley).

Once in pursuit, the action ups the ante from the original. The zombies themselves have evolved into a greater challenge, and then there’s the appearance of some very familiar-looking survivors. Ruben Fleischer returns to direct, fresh off the back of Venom, along with Deadpool writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, so you’re bound to walk out with some new favourite quotes. As always, keep your eye out for the odd cameo here or there. You never know who’s going to come back from the dead.

An incredible tale of racism from both sides Theatre review 

By Kelly Wickham Sing Yer Heart Out For THe Lads Until November 2 The Spiegeltent, Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester PO19 6AP 01243 781312 box.office@cft.org.uk www.cft.org.uk THE CITY'S theatre have opened their new venue, the Spiegeltent and it's hard to imagine a better play to kick off the opening with.

THe play comes with warnings of violence, strong language and upsetting racial slurs and at times it can be difficult to watch, a bit like a football fan watching a tense game.

THe venue is transformed and the audience walk into the King George pub in south-west London and are taken back to October, 2000, to watch England v Germany - the last match to be played at the old Wembley stadium.

In come the stereotypical football hooligans who are so passionate about the game and the match in general that everything else is blurred into the background.

Lawrie, played by Richard Riddell, pictured left, steals the show with his clever acting of an anger-brewing, hate-filled skinhead, a genuinely terrifying performance leaving the audience with little sympathy even after finding out his reasonings.

Younger brother and policeman, Lee, played by Alexander Cobb, is equally brilliant, desperately trying to do the right thing but torn between the love he has for his brother and a tragic past.

Lingering in the background is Alan, performed

by Michael Hodgson, who is probably the most chilling character on stage with an extreme xenophobic racist attitude planting seeds in

Lawrie's head and winding up ex-soldier Mark (Mark Springer) and his younger brother Barry (Makir Ahmed).

One of the clever uses of stage is the male toilets which light up, the football is almost paused, as is the pub and the bathroom is displayed as CCTVstyle footage on the screens.

Every character brings something to the stage from landlady Gina (Sian Reese-Williams) and her father Jimmy (Martyn Ellis) through to Bad T (Dajay Brown) and his friend Duane (Harold Addo).

It's a modern masterpiece, still relevant almost 20 years from when it was written - one not to miss!

Plenty of shows for the whole family this winter at one of the world's best theatres Chichester Festival Theatre Oaklands Way, Chichester PO19 6AP Tel: 01243 781312 Chichester Theatre www.cft.org.uk CHICHESTER Festival THeatre prides itself on being a family-friendly venue and the new winter season brings a sparkling selection of entertainment for all ages.

Coming up in the Spiegeltent in November, there’s the swashbuckling Pirate Adventure, as well as Shlomo’s Beatbox Adventure for Kids and comedy without the rude words, from Comedy 4 Kids founder James Campbell.

During half-term there’s a host of interactive workshops for teenagers aged 15+ who can explore Foley Sound Effects, get an introduction to clowning or try their hand at

African drumming. Ages 10+ can get stuck into an unarmed stage combat workshop inspired by Macbeth in When THe Battle’s Lost and Won. Two Christmas offerings are guaranteed to delight. For ages 3+, THe Gruffalo (Minerva THeatre, December 3 – 15) is inspired by the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in this much-loved show, full of songs, laughs and monstrous fun.

THe main stage Christmas production from the renowned Chichester Festival Youth THeatre is THe Wizard of Oz, featuring all the beloved songs from the 1939 classic film.

When Dorothy runs away from her home in Kansas with her faithful dog, Toto, she’s caught up in a terrifying cyclone and finds herself in the strange and magical land of Oz. THere, she encounters a host of curious and enchanting characters. Accompanied by a Scarecrow, a Tin Man and a Cowardly Lion, can Dorothy escape the Wicked Witch of the West, reach the Emerald City and find the mysterious Wizard of Oz? Running from December 14 – 29 (with a relaxed performance on December 27) and recommended for ages 7+, don your ruby slippers and journey over the rainbow and along the yellow brick road in a wonderful adventure for all the family.

To welcome the new year, Moscow City Ballet return with their stunning production of THe Sleeping Beauty: an unmissable climax to the festive season. THe enchanting and romantic story of Princess Aurora, wicked Carabosse, the Lilac Fairy and an array of fairytale characters is set to Tchaikovsky’s

glorious score, presented in classic Russian style with full orchestra.

White lion fable is just as good as War Horse Theatre review 

By Alicia Denny THe Butterfly Lion Until November 15 Minerva Theatre, Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester PO19 6AP 01243 781312 box.office@cft.org.uk www.cft.org.uk IT'S not War Horse, it's different but it's just as good - those words by author Michael Morpurgo, at THe Butterfly Lion's press night, accurately reflected the view of the audience at this brilliant, heart-warming and superbly-acted and visualised production.

On stage and film, Morpurgo's War Horse brought to life the feeling between a horse and a boy before and during the First World War and a number of the same themes were in the new play, which was adapted by Anna Ledwich, who has previously worked with the Chichester Festival Youth THeatre.

She made the most of the talents of the young people from that group of fledgling actors who belie their lack of years and experience in characterisation of great maturity and skill.

Playing the young Michael, running away from

boarding school, as the real author did, Ruari Finnegan was delightfully believeable and the trickier role of Young Bertie, taken by Archie Elliott, who saves the young white lion cub at the centre of the story, was given emotional depth, including when he was interacting with the puppet cub.

Of the adult characters, Old Millie, played by Nicola Sloane, who was rarely off stage, Jonathan Dryden Taylor, as the adult Michael, and the young lovers, Bertie (Adam Buchanan) and Millie (Claudia Jolly) were outstanding and offered a wonderful, emotional theatrical experience

throughout.

THe puppeteers, especially Lucas Button, allowed the audience to suspend belief in the lion model - and the dog, Jack - while the lively ensemble, whether being jungle animals or soldiers from the First World War, had enormous vitality and wonderfully choreographed movement.

Even if you knew the story from Morpurgo's popular book, the stage show gives a gripping and delightful interpretation to enchant young and old.

See it now, while you can, before it goes to the West End and greater glory.

Mindful ways to live your life well.

DENISE KELLY

Lifestyle 31

MANY WOMEN experience symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings and difficulty sleeping

A passionate and motivated 'health expert/nutritionist.

Eat to beat pain of the menopause www.denisekelly.co.uk Tel: 07730671436 Email: denise@thewellbeingcompanyltd. com MANY people have talked to me about menopausal symptoms. THis week, I feel like I have to cover this subject, because there are such simple things you can do in order to help.

Sorry all you men out there reading this, next week I will do something for you!

Although it’s not a bad idea to read up and understand why your partner may be feeling a little ‘out of sorts’ if she is of this age group (usually from 45-55).

THis is roughly what happens, during the transition to menopause and beyond.

THe hormone oestrogen begins to decline, disrupting your normal cyclical patterns of oestrogen and progesterone.

Declining oestrogen levels negatively impact your metabolism, potentially

D

leading to weight gain, your body’s ability to digest carbs and it may also affect your cholesterol levels too, hence why nature pushes you towards better quality foods to make you feel more energetic and in control.

Ultimately, that is what your body desperately needs in order to maintain balance. Many women experience symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings and difficulty sleeping during this transition period, but all is not lost!

Fortunately, making changes in your diet may help relieve some of these horrid symptoms, but it could be good to remember that menopause is a natural transition in a woman’s life and people who have more plant-based foods (traditional Asian foods for example) tend to get very little menopausal symptoms, if any at all, so we must learn from them and try to adjust our diet accordingly.

One of the things to be aware of is that it’s possible to get low bone density during

this time, so making sure your diet is mineral-rich is vital. Including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and vitamins D and K is very important on a daily basis.

Foods such as dark greens, fish, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils etc all play a vital role in keeping us nutritionally rich. Healthy fats are crucial too - omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, such as mackerel, salmon and anchovies, and seeds like flax seeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds can really make a massive difference in symptoms.

Whole grains are also key as they are high in nutrients, including fibre and B vitamins, such as thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and pantothenic acid. A diet high in whole grains has been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer and premature death. In studies, three or

more servings of whole grains per day had a 20–30 per cent lower risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. Whole-grain foods include brown rice, whole-wheat bread, barley, quinoa, and rye. Fruits and vegetables are also packed with vitamins and minerals, fibre and antioxidants, and I think this goes without saying that including a truck load of these on a daily basis is going to make a gigantic difference to your mood, energy and wellbeing.

Cruciferous vegetables should be high on your list, too, as it's now known that eating broccoli can help decrease levels of a type of oestrogen linked to breast cancer, while increasing levels of an oestrogen type that protects against breast cancer.

So, buy in the broccoli!

Dark berries may also benefit women going through menopause due to their high anti-oxidant levels. Grape seed

extract supplements taken daily have been particularly beneficial in women and they reported experiencing fewer hot flashes, better sleep and lower rates of depression.

Foods that naturally contain phytoestrogens include soybeans, chickpeas, peanuts, flax seeds, barley, grapes, berries, plums, and green and black tea. Because of the decline in oestrogen, there is also a decreased muscle mass, so it's highly recommended that women going through menopause should eat more protein, foods such as eggs, meat, fish, legumes etc. Plus you can add protein powders to smoothies, such as pea protein, which is a highly concentrated, and excellent source of essential amino acid. THis can help increase your metabolism and lose weight as well as support your muscles.

CommunityNews&Views Advertising Feature THE Trust is delighted to be part of a new project in partnership with Arun District Council.

A silver birch tree in the Historic Hotham Park has been chosen as the location for a ‘Celebration of Life Tree Seat’ which will feature messages from the public on engraved plaques shaped like leaves.

You can dedicate a leaf with a message to a loved one or celebrate a special occasion by choosing words to have inscribed.

THe Trust will deal with the application process for purchasing, engraving and installing the plaques. THis will be managed through our wood department at the Aldingbourne Country Centre and the people we support with learning disabilities and/ or autism, will be actively involved in fitting the plaques and maintaining the seat. Visit our website: aldingbournetrust.org for more information.

THe team have been busy over at No 73 Aldwick Road, where they have started running a 'Nourish Community pop up' event for the people we support with learning disabilities and/or autism.

THey hosted their first event on Saturday, October 5, and those who attended had the opportunity to prepare and cook food with a professional chef, and then get recipes to take home afterwards in an easy to read format. Casper Rioseco, community solutions and co-production manager for the Trust said: "THe Nourish Community Pop up is brilliant as people can choose to take part in the preparation and cooking process or not but will still get to eat. THe fact that everyone sits down together and eats is also a great social integration aspect."

THese pop up events have been supported by UK Harvest who are a not-for-profit perishable food rescue operation that collects quality excess food from commercial outlets and delivers it, direct and free of charge, to charities. THis has allowed the Trust to run these classes at a reduced rate with all profits going to UK Harvest to help them continue their work. THe next ‘Nourish Bespoke’ workshop will be hosted on Saturday, November 23.

Our charity shop on Aldwick Road is busy getting ready for halloween, with their spooky window display you can find yourself some great Halloween costumes and accessories. Why not find something to wear to our Halloween Spooktacular at the Aldingbourne Country Centre on selected days during the October half term. Our charity shop is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30am to 4pm.

THe Aldingbourne Trust is a registered charity which supports adults with learning disabilities and/or autism to live the lives they choose. THere are many social enterprises within the Trust, including THe Aldingbourne Country Centre; Horticulture; Wood Recycling and Charity Shop in Aldwick Road, Bognor Regis among others.

We could not continue our support without the help of our volunteers! If you are interested and would like to find out more about volunteering for the Aldingbourne Trust, please contact Tracy Milward on 01243 544607 or tracym@aldingbourne.org

FRIENDS of Chichester Hospitals have seen a £77,000 investment to support improved patient nutrition initiative for St Richard’s Hospital.

Recent changes in food preparation and delivery to patients at St Richard’s are being enhanced by the arrival of 24 new, high specification refreshment carts, funded by the Friends of Chichester Hospitals.

THey will enable patients to be served throughout the day with freshly made drinks, plus snacks, fruit etc. supplementing the nutritious main meals provided by the new state of the art kitchens.

"People often just don’t feel like eating when they’re ill, but need calories to help rebuild their strength", said Friends of Chichester Hospitals’ chairman Jane Ramage.

"THe Ultrakarts will operate from breakfast to suppertime, ensuring that patients can have tea, coffee or hot chocolate if they fancy it.

"Housekeepers fulfil an important role in supporting

TINWOOD Estate has completed its grape harvest for 2019.

THe harvest has proved another significant one, and one of the vineyard's largest on record. Initial predictions are that 2019 will be another successful year for English sparkling wine.

Tinwood produces over 55,000 bottles of English sparkling wine each year from its 65 acres under vine. Its three signature wines are a Blanc de Blancs, Brut and Rose.

All Tinwood grapes are hand-picked to ensure the quality of the Estate's wines is maintained. As well as employing its own team of

recovery, and we are delighted to make it easier for them.

"THe carts are easy to manoeuvre, and run smoothly, so we are sure that they will make a real difference for both patients and staff."

Ward housekeepers are said to be thrilled with the new 'Ultrakarts; which have onboard water heaters, toasters and all the ingredients needed to keep patients hydrated and able to eat when they feel they can manage something light or would like a small snack, such as a biscuit or piece of fruit.

Head of catering Tony Shea said: "I am so proud of our food service assistants who started their new roles at St Richard’s in May this year.

"THis has been a big change for many of these colleagues and they’re doing a superb job.

THe Ultrakart Beverage Trolley will help them give the best possible service to patients during beverage rounds and I would like to thank the Friends of Chichester Hospitals for providing them."

pickers, Tinwood offered grape picking events - a unique, original and fun experience for members of the public to get involved in the harvest.

Art Tukker, Tinwood's owner, said: "With the exception of last year, 2019 has been our largest harvest on record with 235,000kgs of grapes picked.

"THe quality was very good but the wet weather meant that we had to pick quickly to avoid any damage to the grapes.

"THankfully our grapes were harvested ahead of schedule and I'm very happy with the 2019 crop.

"We're already looking forward to sampling the finished product in 2021!"

VISITORS to East Dean can embrace autumn with some seasonal crafts and raise vital funds for a children’s charity.

THe East Dean and Friston NSPCC Supporters Group are hosting a morning of coffee and crafts tomorrow (Saturday, October 19).

Budding artists can try out jar painting and gingerbread decorating, while environmentalists can make their very own bug hotel.

Visitors can also get their Christmas shopping in early with candles, preserves, jewellery and soaps on offer to purchase, or give the tombola and raffle a whirl.

Proceeds will go towards the NSPCC to help the charity ‘fight for every childhood.’ THis could be through Childline, educational assembly visits, or therapy for survivors of abuse.

NSPCC community fundraising manager for Sussex, Kate Hershkowitz said: "We are so grateful to the NSPCC’s East Dean and Friston District for holding this lovely event for all ages in their beautiful village hall to raise funds to support our work.

"THank you also to everyone who comes along to support and we really hope you all have a wonderful morning."

THe Coffee and Crafts Morning will take place at East Dean Village Hall from 10am to 12.30pm.

EXPERIENCED pilot Steve Ford has launched his debut book - 20 West: a journey through six decades of turbulent change within aviation.

Sharing the adventure, joy, and - on occasion - tragedy, that makes aviation one of the most fascinating industries to be a part of, 20 West reflects the diversity of the aerospace industry. It’s not only an absorbing read for anyone with a passion for aviation, but also for the next generation looking to embark upon a journey that has no final destination.

Within the book Chichester, the home of Goodwood - renowned for its huge history in aviation, which runs from the aerodrome being used as a Battle of Britain station and RAF training ground for pilots learning to fly Hurricanes and Spitfires, through to thriving flying school and general aviation business that it is today - is referenced on multiple occasions.

20 West follows Steve’s journey through aviation, from an ‘unmin’ child travelling the world on standby, training from an apprenticeship to a jet engine specialist, to his distinguished career as a long-haul commercial pilot.

It also presents an insider’s history of the last 60 years of the industry, giving readers a fascinating insight into the ways commercial flight and the corporate giants that dominate it have evolved over the years.

Packed with captivating stories from both above the clouds and down on the tarmac, it’s a must-read for anyone who’s ever wondered what really happens on the other side of the cockpit door.

On making the decision to write and publish his enthralling career story, Steve said: “THe reason for wanting to write this book was to provide ‘a record’; to attempt, as accurately as possible, to present a view from within the aviation industry during a period of monumental change. It spans six decades, stretching from propeller-driven transport aircraft to composite, fly-by-wire and wide-body double-decker aircraft, plucked from the pages of science fiction.

“Over the years, I have probably worked with and flown with hundreds if not thousands of pilots, and one of the biggest drivers for me wanting to write this book was not because it is about me, but because it is about them. It will also allow those who have absolutely no idea what it is like to spend a lifetime in aviation to get a sense of what it looks, feels and smells like to be embraced by such a career. It is a way of life that wraps itself around you and enters every pore as you fall within its envelope.”

20 West is available in paperback (£8.99) and e-book format (£2.99) from: amazon.co.uk

The history of Chichester’s famous architects

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

BUILDING in some form or other has been continuous in Chichester since Roman times.

However, the names of many of the architects have been lost to history. Craftsmen like masons and carpenters created houses and other buildings, such as temples and churches, which were used by the public.

It was towards the end of the 17th century that the role of architect as a profession became recognised and in 1834 the Royal Institute of British Architects was founded.

It was later incorporated in 1837. It remains England’s chief architectural body which holds examinations and confers diplomas of Associate (ARIBA) and Fellow (FRIBA).

James Elmes (1782–1862) was born in London but due to the extensive work he did in the Chichester area, he acquired a house in Oving and was based there by 1811. In 1812, St John the Evangelist's Church was founded and the trustees commissioned Elmes to design it. Between the years of 1812–1817 he worked on the restoration of Chichester Cathedral and built several large houses in the area. Elmes also wrote extensively about architecture throughout his career.

In local trade directories, the earliest mentioned Chichester architect was George Draper (1796–1874). Draper was born in Essex but had moved to Chichester by 1821.

In the 1826/7 directories, he was listed as

being based in South Street. Draper designed many buildings throughout West Sussex and Hampshire, including St Bartholomew’s Church in Westgate, the Chichester Infirmary in Broyle Road and Goodwood’s original grandstand. One of his most famous designs is Chichester’s Corn Exchange, with its extensive warehouses and stores attached to the rear of the impressive façade.

Joseph Butler (1804–1884) was born at Parndon, Essex, but by 1833 was working as an architect, surveyor and builder in THe Cloisters, Chichester. He worked widely in West Sussex and designed or restored many local churches including St Paul's and St Peter the Great in Chichester. In 1849 he designed Bishop Otter College, which was originally built as a Church of England training college for male teachers. His best known achievement was as a surveyor of Chichester Cathedral. In 1846, he supervised the restoration of the cathedral and completed a detailed survey of the building. His drawings from this time proved invaluable years later after the spire collapse of 1861 as Butler’s drawings were used to accurately recreate the original spire.

John Elliot (1811–1891) was born in Lewes, and by 1839 was in business as an architect and builder in North Pallant, Chichester where he remained until he moved to

In 1849 he designed Bishop Otter College which was originally built as a Church of England training college for male teachers.

f St Peter the Great Church, c1880 f St John the Evangelist's Church, c1890

f Bishop Otter College, c1900

Southampton in 1851. In 1838, Elliot worked on the east wing and ballroom of Goodwood House for the 5th Duke of Richmond and also produced plans for the rebuilding of St Peter the Less Church in Chichester, although these were rejected and never implemented.

THroughout his time in Chichester, he was active in local life and held roles such as curator of Chichester Mechanics’ Institution and secretary of Chichester Philosophical and Literary Society.

George Charles Vernon-Inkpen (18571926) was born at Bethnal Green but by 1882 had established a practice close to the Market Cross in Chichester and was living in Oving. Vernon-Inkpen worked with several partners throughout his career and had business addresses, either on his own or with his partner, throughout Hampshire and West Sussex. In 1894, Vernon-Inkpen and his then partner were asked to restore and remodel the east end of St Bartholomew’s Church (originally designed by George

Draper) as the original design was now out of style.

THe number of architects listed in the first half of the 20th century increased, although evidence of their work is scarce, and was likely mostly to do with church repairs and restoration schemes.

In the 1920s, Eric Brian Tyler was listed as an architect in Chichester. He initially had his own practice but later joined forces with another architect to form the Tyler-Dixon partnership, which was based at Westgate.

In 1958, Tyler was architect for the Chichester Baptist Church, Sherbourne Road. He also drew up plans for the Congregational Union Church at North Bersted and in 1959 he wrote an architectural report on St Mary’s Church, East Lavant. In the early 1960s, new plans were drawn up by Tyler-Dixon for the site at 25 and 26 North Street. THe new building was to be named Sussex House and was designed to be smaller to allow for the widening of Crane Street.

City ready for FA Cup clash CHICHESTER CITY are just 90 minutes away from making history and reaching the first round of the FA Cup for the first time.

Miles Rutherford's side have been in inspired form this season, defeating two higher ranked sides on their run to the fourth qualifying round.

After beating Isthmian Premier side Enfield Town 1-0 in front of more than 500 fans at Oaklands Park a fortnight ago, Chi now head to Essex tomorrow looking to make history.

THeir opponents are Bowers & Pitsea, who are currently third bottom of the Isthmian Premier and looking to reach the first round themselves for the first time.

Chi's cup run has invoked memories of the 1960s when the then Chichester side were beaten 11-0 at Bristol City in the first

f Josh Clack strikes home for City at Barton

round proper.

If the modern day equivalents match this feat then they will net a further cash boost of ÂŁ18,750.

Central to the performances this season has been the work of Chi coach Darin Killpartrick.

THe well-respected coach, who is known as Dabba, returned to the game this summer following a year out, having left his long term role at neighbours Bognor.

And a few months into the role he’s been impressed with the togetherness at Oaklands Park.

Dabba said: “It’s a group thing.

Everyone is pulling in the same direction here. THere’s about 25 people who all really enjoy being with each other. “Technically and tactically, we do work with them, however, they’re the ones who are throwing themselves on the line.

"Emergency defending, last ditch tackles, defending from the

NEXT GAME

front. We’ve got the team working in some sort of pressing way that we’d like them to do against certain teams and they respond to it."

It appears to be working, in the FA Cup at least, with Chi currently on a run of nearly 300 minutes without conceding a goal in the competition.

THat sequence spans three rounds and four matches, three of which were against step three opposition.

Dabba said: “We just give them the ideas. THey’re the responsive ones.

"THey’re an incredible bunch of people who have the most desire I’ve seen in a team in a long time.

"Without desire it’s hard to defend and people in key positions are doing the things we’re asking them to do and when a team likes each other they’ll do anything to stop the ball going in that net.�

Chi scored ten goals in two games in the preliminary stages of the cup.

A 3-1 home win against Erith Town was followed by an emphatic 7-2 victory away at south east London side Bridon

Ropes.

Since then, City have shut up shop, overcoming Chalfont St Peter 2-0 before claiming step 3 scalps against Hartley Wintney after a replay and Enfield Town.

City coach Danny Potter was quick to applaud fellow coach Dabba in improving the side's resilience at the back.

He said: "He’s given us ideas.

THe players are responding to his demands and expectations, and it is working."

Chi go to Essex after crashing out of the FA Trophy last weekend following a disappointing display in Bedford that saw Southern League Barton Rovers run out comfortable winners.

Falling behind as early as the second minute, they never recovered and an uncharacteristically poor defensively display helped the hosts score a further three without reply.

Chi eventually rallied 15 minutes from time courtesy of a quick-fire double by Josh Clack.

But it was too little too late and they now have to pick themselves up going into tomorrow's huge FA Cup tie at Bowers & Pitsea.

Chi sky high after first victory CHICHESTER CITY Ladies will be looking to push on after picking up their first home win of the season last time out.

THe Oaklands Park side defeated Swindon Town 4-2 after extra time last weekend to progress to the next round in the FA Women's National League Plate.

Goals from Tash Wild, Gemma Simmonds, Gemma Staple and Sophie Phelps sealed the win.

THe challenge for Sadie Blakely's side is to take that good feeling into the league when they resume their National Southern Premier next Sunday at Keynsham Ladies (October 27, 2pm).

Chi are currently third bottom in the standings with a single point after losing six of their opening seven matches.

But the match on the outskirts of Bristol is a real opportunity to get that all important first league win against a side who are bottom with no points and a minus 18 goal difference.

THe victory against Swindon will no doubt give Chi a boost.

After falling behind to the National Division One South West side, Wild hit an excellent looping shot over the keeper from

Sport 37

outside the box to level the game.

City then spurned a golden chance to take the lead when Simmonds missed a penalty.

But she made amends with ten minutes left when she slotted home.

THe Robins responded though to take the game into extra time before new addition

Staple hit home on her debut.

She then turned provider, crossing for Phelps who wrapped things up.

Speaking after the match, coach Emma Alexandre said: " Fantastic win for the girls yesterday, can't even explain how proud I am of them."

Selsey end a six match slump with five star show SELSEY look to have banished the Blues after producing two of their best performances of the season to end a six game winless run.

Daren Pearce's side were in danger of losing touch with the top five in the SCFL Division One as they found themselves in a slump.

But Selsey well and truly blew away those cobwebs by hitting five past Shoreham last weekend.

THat was followed by an excellent showing in the Peter Bentley Cup in midweek when the Blues pushed SCFL Premier outfit Steyning Town all the way before losing 4-2 after extra time.

Next up for the Blues is a trip to Seaford Town tomorrow (3pm), a side who are one point and two places below them in the standings.

THe 5-0 win against Shoreham will put Pearce's young side in good spirits.

Joe Bennett got the opener before Max Davies added the second after converting a Ryan Morey cross on 56 minutes before roles were reversed for the third.

Ryan Chittock then opened his Selsey account in his second spell at the club,

finding himself in acres of space before slotting home coolly from 12 yards.

Chittock then turned provider, supplying fellow sub Lindon Miller to wrap things up in front of a crowd of 120.

Selsey took this form into the cup match in midweek.

After falling behind early on to the Barrowman, Morey levelled things up for the Blues.

With the match into extra time, Blues then were on course for a shock when Bradley Higgins-Pearce gave them the lead.

But Town hit back with three goals in ten minutes to win 4-2 to record a victory which looked far easier than it was.

--SCFL Division Two side Bosham will be looking to register their first win in four when they host Montpelier Villa in the league cup tomorrow (3pm).

THe Robins suffered an upset last time out when they lost 2-0 to East Sussex Premier side Wadhurst United.

It means the Walton Lane side have not won now for more than a month, something they will want to correct when they welcome a Villa side who defeated them 17-1 earlier in the campaign.

Sportinbrief î ?

Football SCFL Premier side Pagham will be looking for swift revenge as they play Eastbourne United for the second time in a week.

Bob Paine's side suffered a 4-0 reverse at THe Oval last weekend, a result which saw their run in the Peter Bentley Cup brought to an end.

But the Lions will have an immediate chance to avenge this loss when they host United tomorrow (3pm) at Nyetimber Lane this time in the league.

With Pagham second bottom and without a win in the league in seven games, three points could not come soon enough for Paine's young side.

THe manager has plenty to take from what was the club's heaviest defeat of the season

though as it saw his team dominate by far the majority of the match yet somehow lose.

THe fact United keeper Jordan Hawkins was awarded the man of the match award summed up the game perfectly.

Lions forced a number of saves from the opposition's number one in the first 20 minutes but could not find the breakthrough.

THen Eastbourne took the lead through Paul Rogers.

Lions continued to build pressure, only for Nathan Crabb to add a second.

THe second half was like the first, with Pagham on the front foot. But United kept them out before Crabb, then Rogers wrapped things up.

Youth Rugby TWO more league games and two more wins for the Bognor Colts Academy last weekend.

Bognor Greens travelled to Portsmouth for a physical encounter which included a number of huge collisions.

Bognor again achieved a winning bonus point as Cellan Robinson, Elvis Millen and Jamie Foote scoring in the first half to give them a 17-10 lead at the break.

Strong words at half time saw Bognor tighten up their set piece, cut down the error count and manage the ball better in the second half.

THe bonus point was sealed when number 8 Owen THomas timed his run from the base to perfection to score and seal a 22-10 victory.

Meanwhile, Bognor Purples inflicted the first defeat of the season on Tadley Tigers, claiming a 24-17 road win in wet and windy conditions.

Scrum half Nathan Chitty, Ben Woolnough and James Billingham took advantage of good line out play to ensure Bognor led 19-7 at half time. Harvey Henson sealed the win in the second half with a great carry to crash over.

Darts THE last week before the end of the Bognor Summer Darts League season saw players from across all three divisions take part in the annual knockout at the Newtown Social Club.

Only 9 players took to the oche for the Division 3 knockout, one of the worst turnouts on record.

THe first semi-final saw Mark H Todd (Railway Sleepers) take on Andy Cooper (Cabin), but Cooper took revenge on one half of the pairs champions and got through to the final with a 2-0 result.

THe second semi-final saw Ruta Perry (Lamb) take on teammate Neil Conn, and push him aside in a 2-1 result.

Cooper won the bullseye to go first and after only 21 darts, with three scores over 80 and a large out-shot, the first leg was his.

THe second leg was closer with Perry in front until a 95 from Cooper. Cooper missed a chance at a 74 finish, giving Perry an opportunity at 96.

But even after hitting the treble 20 with her first dart, the final two failed to hit the mark.

Cooper then stepped up and hit double 3 with his second dart to take the game 2-0 and the 2019 Division THree Singles title.

ABC quartet pack a punch in Eire A BOGNOR quartet did their club proud after taking part in a major international competition in Ireland last month.

Rhyan Shannon, Phoebe Grifiths-Johnson, Charlie Wise and Charley Mason joined Bognor ABC coaches Paul Mason, Alan Wise and Mick Griffiths in travelling to Dungarvan to take part in the annual Celtic Box Cup. THis tournament brought together almost 400 high quality boxers across all weight classes together from many different countries to compete for the title of "international box cup champion".

First up was 17 year old youth 64kg boxer Rhyan, who was pitted against a local Irish lad with almost triple his experience.

Rhyan boxed with courage and determination, causing his opponent difficulty from the first bell to the last. Unfortunately, his opponent managed to negate his long reach as he tired and the Bognor lad lost on a points decision. His opponent went on to win gold.

Next up was 18-year-old senior elite 64kg boxer Charley Mason, who was matched with a strong 30-year-old boxer from Jersey.

Charley made short work of his opponent causing a knockout just one minute into the

first round. THis took Charley through to the semi final against an all Ireland champion and current holder of the Celtic Box Cup title.

Charley started busy and confident with highly skilful boxing taking the first round on all judges' score cards.

Unfortunately, he received an accidental illegal elbow to the back of his head in round two, causing a concussion which ended his campaign and a chance of gold the next day.

Twenty one-year-old 56kg elite senior boxer Charlie Wise made his return to the boxing ring after a four year time out and found himself in a straight finals match. He was to box a lad from the "Dale Youth" boxing club in London. Despite ring rust, Charlie took his opponent all the way to a very close split decision loss. Charlie brings home a silver medal. Phoebe, who is already an English champion, found herself without any opponents to box.

Paul Mason, head coach at Bognor ABC, said: "THis was a marvellous experience for the boxers and one they plan to repeat next year. It's always good to put Bognor Regis on the map and that they did." Well done to all involved."

Marathon job from TZ duo FROM Bognor to the world...

THis weekend saw some Bognor Regis Tone Zone runners compete across the globe in their quest for medals and personal best times.

Over in Chicago, Duncan Stephenson-Gill and Mark Green joined Sir Mo Farah and thousands of others to take part in one of the world's most iconic marathons.

With a very early start of 5am local time the pair made their way to the start line, wrapped up warm in the 5C heat.

After months and months of training, Stephenson-Gill ran a strong race in the wind and cold to finish in a time of three hours 21 minutes 12 seconds (3:21:12) ticking off another Abbot World Major Marathon.

Green showed no signs of fatigue after running the Berlin Marathon two weeks ago.

Just as he did in the German capital, he registered another PB, crossing the line in 3:28:06, to take a remarkable two minutes off his time two weeks ago.

It was a slightly different story

in sunny Palma where Ian Bayley, Neil Pacey, Andy Miles, Mark Williamson and Chris Gallagher were treated to weather in the high 20s.

Bayley, Pacey and Miles all ran in the half marathon. Bayley crossed the line first for the club in 1:56 with Pacey just three minutes behind in 1:59.

Miles pushed on through the heat to finish in a time of 2:07.

Taking part in the marathon were Mark Williamson and Chris Gallagher. Williamson finished in 3:54:03 with Gallagher not far behind in 4:03:20 both very impressive times in the heat and hills.

John Russell and Paula Russell were also running abroad this weekend, the pair were in the historic Polish city of Krakow for the half marathon.

Running together the Russell’s finished in 2 hours 22 minutes.

Closer to home in raining Guildford was Nathalie Reynolds representing the club at the Guildford 10k.

Reynolds finished the 10k in 53:05.

CHICHESTER RFC will be gunning for a victory this weekend as they head into a military base in central London for their latest clash.

Blues face HAC tomorrow (3pm) at their ground in the heart of the city of London.

With the match played in Armoury House, all Chi supporters had to register in advance before attending the match to cheer on their buoyant side.

But, despite the bureaucracy and the potential headaches of the game taking place at the same time as major protests in the heart of London, Chi will head to capital with high hopes of winning their fourth game of the season.

THey do so off the back of a bonus point victory at home to Beckenham last weekend when Blues put in a clinical performance to claim a 37-5 victory.

THose five points lifted Colley's XV to seventh in the London One South standings.

With a game against third-bottom HAC to come, Chi will be hoping they can claim backto-back wins for the first time this campaign.

THeir opponents may have other ideas though after winning the first match of the

season last weekend against London Cornish, a side who have already defeated Chi this campaign.

-- Bognor RFC'S hopes of claiming yet another top three finish in the Hampshire Premiership suffered a big blow when they were defeated 19-15 at Millbrook last weekend.

THe Purple and Greens, who are now sixth in the standings, welcome New Milton & District to Hampshire Avenue tomorrow (3pm) looking to get their season back on track.

Bognor are now 16 points behind leaders Alton after just five games of the season.

If they are to repeat last season's top three finish then the Purple and Greens will need to start putting together an unbeaten run, something that will be difficult in a division which appears to be one of the most competitive of recent seasons.

THe club have had a boost as three of their under 15s squad have been selected to attend the London Irish Academy for 2919/20 season. Elijah Green, Oliver Crow and Oliver Mitchell will now get the chance to train in the professional set up with opportunities for a more formal contract at a later date.

Blake: Rocks will still have a good season

e

weekend

f Match action from Potters Bar | pics: T McMillan

NEXT GAME

ROCKS first team coach Robbie Blake is counting on his side to bounce back after being left "shell-shocked" after a 4-0 loss to Potters Bar Town.

Two home wins on the bounce looked to have got Bognor's season back on track after a difficult start to the Isthmian Premier campaign.

But defensive mistakes cost the Rocks dear once again as a side who dominated the first half found themselves on the wrong end of a 4-0 thrashing.

With two away games in the next week against leaders Folkestone tomorrow (3pm) and mid-table Kingstonian on Wednesday (7.45pm), 15th-placed Bognor need to start picking up points.

For Blake, he believes that all is not lost, with the Nyewood Lane side a couple of good results away from being within touching distance of the playoffs.

Speaking to Rocks Radio after the match, the former Bolton striker said: "I'm quite shellshocked really.

We didn't start the second half very well and made a couple of erratic mistakes and perhaps the keeper should have shown more confidence.

"But even at 1-0 we still had a chance and I still believe we had a chance but unfortunately

we committed number of errors which you don't normally see on football field.

"We are a far better side than two weeks ago. But they [Potters Bar] have been organised, they sat in and didn't want anything going into the middle and they have done a job on us."

Top of the list of concerns for Blake and manager Jack Pearce is what to do about the goalkeeping spot.

Myles Roberts, who made his debut after joining on loan from Reading, made two costly errors against Potters Bar. It remains unclear if he will keep his place in the side for the next two fixtures.

Blake said: "He is a young kid who has made mistakes and he needs to improve "But if he learns from them sometimes a game like this can have a massive impact on them."

One player who could feature is former Pompey academy player Eddie Wakley, who played for Gosport last season.

Blake said: "Even though we won two games we knew we couldn't rest and hopefully we can get another couple of bodies in to give stability and quality.

"I still think after this result we can have a good season."

Folkestone Invicta (A) Tomorrow (Saturday, October 19), at 3pm

Rocks keeper woes continue THE search for a Rocks number one goes on...

Bognor fans have been spoiled in recent years after Dan Lincoln made the keeper top his own.

But following the Berkshire-based player's decision to focus on cricket and sign with a club closer to his home, Rocks have been less than certain on who their number one stopper is.

Petar Durin, Charlie Searle and James Holden have all taken their turn between the sticks, all to varying degrees of success.

Last weekend saw Reading loanee Myles Roberts take up the challenge, producing a number of errors which led to goals in the 4-0 loss to Potters Bar Town.

His performance did not escape the eagle eyes of manager Jack Pearce who told reporters after the game that Roberts did not make a save until his side were 4-0 down.

Pearce added: "It's very unusual and you don't need to be a football genius to know that you don't normally see mistakes like that at this level or at much lower levels of the game.

"It reminded me of the first six or seven games where we kept making mistakes which you would probably only get one of per season. We have had nine now and it's worrying. It's hard and we have to regroup reorganise and go again."

Roberts, who joined the Rocks from the Royals after a spell with Tonbridge Angels,

only had one training session with his new club before his debut.

But Pearce was non-committal on how long his stay would be on the south coast after the costly mistakes.

THe manager said: "THere's not much you can say. You can ruffle people’s hair and say unlucky but I imagine he is feeling

very disappointed as you don't have to be a football wizard to know that goals like that don't get conceded often.

"To be fair there were four or five other times when there were errors which caused uncertainty. He has to learn and we have to learn. We will talk to Reading about it and we go from there."

NYECAMP NEWS

by Harvey Whyte

AFTER looking like we had turned the corner, last weekend's result against Potters Bar was really frustrating.

While the performance was OK, it was just conceding stupid goals that let us down again.

THree of them were simply beyond belief.

Joe (Cook) made a mistake for the first, trying to play offside with no pressure around him.

I had a chat with him immediately after the game and then at training again this week and I think it's fair to say he will learn from things.

THe other two it's hard to find the words to explain them.

I think Jack summed it up best when he said he would like to say he hadn't seen keeping like it.

But unfortunately this season so far we have had a number of goals against us like that!

Overall, though, I don't think we were that far away from where we were against Haringey and Leatherhead.

THey had a clear game plan, sitting ten men behind the ball and were playing for the 0-0.

We gifted them the first goal and then after that they had something to hold on to.

THe second and third we gave to them, too, and we were not that far away from giving them the fourth.

Aside from these stupid goals the performance was better and we looked more in control.

THis improvement is down to the signings we have made in the last few weeks.

THe two Joes coming in have helped at the back.

THe big thing now is getting a keeper that we all trust.

Myles had a bad game against Potters Bar. But after the second goal went in the whole team just deflated as that's the sixth goalkeeping mistake made this year that

has cost us. To be honest, there's not a lot you can say to Myles after that. He knows he's had a bad game which has cost us goals It's up to the management how they want to react.

But we as players never give too much stick as we know that these things happen It's a difficult one for me as the captain as you do need to try and pick them up.

But it's frustrating that this is happening so often now that people are starting to get fed up with it I think we are missing someone like Dan Lincoln who was proven at this level for the last five seasons.

Any successful team has a good spine of the team with a good keeper, good centre half, good central midfield and good striker.

We are struggling to replace him at the moment but we trust Jack and Robbie to do the right thing.

With trips to Folkestone and Kingstonian in the next week there's not long for us to refocus.

Our away form is pretty good as there seems to be less pressure on us. Teams playing at home tend to come out more against us which creates a more open game and allows more opportunities.

At our place they know they can sit back as they come under a bit more pressure.

We have shown though with the two performances against Haringey and Leatherhead that we can beat anyone.

We will be aiming to repeat that now and see what we can do. We are still a good side and a point away is always good, especially in this league.

But we need to start winning games. So against two sides who will be up there at the end of the year we need to start picking up points where we can.
