College hangs up on use of mobile phones

place but there seems to be an added buzz at the moment.

"We have had some very positive feedback from parents and I am delighted that the students have accepted what we have done, are just getting on with things now and seeing the benefits."

The get tough approach to the 21st century devices - which also includes tablet computers, mp3 players and iPads - was launched after Mr Anstiss noticed more and more students were spending an increasing amount of their free time staring at screens.

Their desire to be electronically connected all the time meant they were even looking at them as they walked between lessons.

A trial phone-free period was held with Year 7 students. They initially missed the phones but soon came to enjoy the freedom from social media and liked talking to their friends more.

The idea was discussed with older students, staff and governors before it was decided by Mr Anstiss to go ahead.

He also saw the policy as improving the students' ability to talk to each other, give them important skills for future jobs and provide chances to enhance friendships.

It will enable them to stay safer from potential abuse of social media and texting.

The only exception to the policy is the use of phones for learning purposes under staff supervision.

MOBILE phones have been banned from view at Felpham Community College.

Headteacher Mark Anstiss has cracked down on the devices during the school day.

Backed by his board of governors, he has ruled that phones carried by students have to be switched off while they are on college premises and kept out of site.

Any student who is seen with a mobile phone in the 1,300-strong college will have it taken away. This will also apply if the phone is heard to ring.

Listening to music through headphones on any device is banned as well.

The first confiscation will see the pupil have to collect the device at the end of the day. A second confiscation will mean their parents will have to pick it up.

Mr Anstiss said the tough approach had been greeted with groans from some students who wanted to stay constantly connected.

But its first two weeks had been a success.

"The response this term has been really great," he said.

"The vast majority of students have accepted the new rule and there have been very few incidents with students caught using their phones. And the atmosphere in school is different.

"Students are talking to each other more at social times and interacting with each other and the environment in a positive way.

"The school has always been a happy

Festival puts folk first as town hosts leading musicians

by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 FOLK music is to the fore in Bognor Regis from today.

Leading singers and songwriters will turn the town into the Sussex capital of the musical style.

The performances in the Southdowns Folk Festival start tonight and continue through two packed days until Sunday night but there is far more to the annual event than stage acts. A total of 45 different activities are taking place for all ages.

Organising committee chairman Roger Nash said: "No other town in Sussex has a folk festival like Bognor's.

"This is our fourth year and we have firmly become established as a leading venue for folk music.

"We have people coming from all over Britain to be part of it. There are nine dance groups alone - from Loughborough, the Isle of Wight and, nearer, from Brighton and Midhurst."

The packed programme is the biggest since the festival began. It will see the town bursting with folk music entertainment.

An alphabetical masterlist of appearances and events from A-W will ensure plenty for everyone to enjoy.

Folk star Martin Carthy might be a late addition to the line-up but names in the musical genre come no bigger.

Legendary, multi-award winning, inspirational and influential are just four of the titles he has earned in a career

which stretches back to 1960.

Cara Dillon and Band and Oysterband are another two of the crowd-pulling names while Wild Geese will blend their Dutch influence on to the Celtic roots of the music to produce a unique sound.

Steve Tilston, pictured above, is another name well-known to folk devotees.

The ticketed shows take place in the Regis Centre's Alexandra Theatre or its studio. Plenty of other entertainment will be going on elsewhere.

The High Street's central portion will become a dance stage for those nine groups as well as both ends of the London Road precinct.

Bognor Regis International Dancers will be among them along with Susfa Dancers and the Knockhundred Shuttles Clog Morris dancers.

Some open air singing performances will also take place in the town centre.

Not enough? The Place St Maur will be covered by a giant arts and crafts marquee.

Stalls will also line the precinct.

The William Hardwicke pub is staging a real ale festival and the Sussex Young Folk Competition on Sunday as well as music sessions tomorrow. The Claremont in Scott Street will also host music sessions on Sunday.

For those who want to participate rather than watch, songwriting, fiddle, ukulele and dancing workshops are in store.

"There's lot of opportunities for people of all ages to join and to watch," said Mr Nash. "Folk music appeals to a wide range of people and the festival reflects that."

Well-designed park cafe in Bognor Regis wins an award A £400,000-plus cafe in Bognor Regis has won a conservation award.

The Hotham Park Cafe has been chosen for one of this year's Arun Conservation Area Advisory Committee design awards.

The cafe opened last summer after Arun District Council had invested £400,000 before its operator, Tom Barnes, fitted it out.

Architect Phil Brown designed the building to fit in with its surroundings and it was built by Falcon Homes.

Cllr Terence Chapman, Arun's cabinet member for environmental services, said the council was proud

of its role in seeing the scheme come to fruition for a richly deserved award.

"The Hotham Park Cafe not only looks fantastic and fits its environment beautifully, but has proved to be a real hit and continues to draw the trade," he said. The advisory committee's principal role is to provide voluntary, independent advice on conservation matters to the council.

Members of the committee come from various professional bodies, including the Royal Institute of British Architects, and members of the district's amenity groups and parish councillors.

SHOCKED Lesley Todd has spoken of her horror after two foul-mouthed youths chased her from Hotham Park.

Mum-of-four Lesley says she was “scared to death” when the snarling boys aimed an unprovoked tirade of abuse at her while she was walking her dog Bella in the park in Bognor Regis.

The miscreants spat at support worker Lesley and threw lit cigarettes at her and her pet pooch and threatened her.

Now the stunned 54-year-old has demanded action be taken to install CCTV at the park entrances so perpetrators of anti-social behaviour can be traced.

She says she feels let down that police will take no action despite admitting that there is a case of verbal assault to be answered.

“I was absolutely petrified, scared to death,” said Lesley, who lives near the park. “The young lads were about 10 and 12. They started trying to talk to me and swore at me with the foulest word in a foreign language. I knew the word and pointed out that it wasn’t very nice and they said it in English as well.

“Then they started trying to scare Bella and spitting at us and then threw their cigarettes at us.

They were only very young, it was so shocking. I was appalled and as I made my way out of the park they followed and I felt as if I were being chased. This happened on a sunny afternoon around 4.30pm last Wednesday."

She added: “I reported the incident to the police and they said I was right to do so but that because there is no evidence other than my word and no CCTV to back me up that there was nothing they could do.

“The cafe in the park, which

is great, is open until 10pm and I fear for others late at night in the park. Surely CCTV should be erected. It could have been so much worse for me. I am still shaken but refuse to let them win and I still go and walk Bella in the park.”

Lesley thinks the attack may be linked to a group of youngsters who have been recently accused of harassing passers-by, including an 80-year-old lady, in London Road.

Police recently told a Facebook group who brought the behaviour to their attention: “We are aware of this group. Can you please make sure that any further incidents are reported to us. If it is an emergency and the behaviour is threatening and abusive then please ring 999.”

Lesley added: “It’s too much of a coincidence not to be linked to what happened to me. It is all very distressing.”

New objections to £80m plan AN IMPASSIONED plea to save Bognor Regis from dying failed to persuade councillors to back an £80m regeneration scheme.

Alison Sheppey, of The Steyne, told town council members the Sir Richard Hotham Project's latest initiative for two key sites in the town was essential to breathe new life into it.

"The town is on its knees. It was the most abysmal summer I have known.

"I have been in Bognor Regis for 14 years and seen a lot of things bandied around and spoken to a lot of local people who moved here because they think it's a fantastic town.

"But why are heels being dragged over this? Why can't an £80m privately invested scheme with huge economic benefits be pushed forward?

"There is nowhere to drink and nothing to do here. People from Butlin's don't go further than the pier.

"We need to have something done and,

if it's privately funded, that's better than doing absolutely nothing," she told the town council's planning and licensing committee on Tuesday.

Another Bognor Regis resident, Gary Smith, also backed the project for the Regis Centre, Hothamton and former Esplanade Theatre sites.

He said: "The Sir Richard Hotham Project to me is absolutely the best scheme we could have.

"It's been borne out of local business people. They have pulled it together and looked at how regeneration can be sustained and raise the profile of the area and bring benefits to it."

This was shown with the link to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which had helped other towns with its programme of workshops.

"Why aren't the town council, given this opportunity, backing the scheme? I think this proposal is the only credible scheme we can get for Bognor Regis," he

said. "Backing it is a no brainer for me."

But the committee decided by 2-1, with two abstentions, to object to the plans.

Its members said too few changes had been made to overcome its objections to the initial scheme last year.

Among the matters still felt to be unresolved were the demolition of the Alexandra Theatre within the Regis Centre, the lack of a step-free access to the foreshore and parking provision.

These objections were different to Arun District Council's reasons when it refused planning permission last March.

Town council committee member Cllr Sandra Daniells said improvements had been made compared to the first plans.

"More leisure provision has been added to the Regis Centre site, which is one of the things we asked for.

"The amount of affordable housing has increased but the demolition of the theatre has not changed. But parking, of course, is the biggest issue," she said.

See page 15 for gymnastic club's award hopes

"It has been addressed but I still have concerns about how it's going to work.

"It's a big and complex scheme and we can't cherrypick the parts we like."

Cllr Pat Dillon, who abstained, said: "I've no problem with the design. I've always said that."

But he said he was still unhappy with other aspects of the scheme.

Earlier, the project's managing director, Thomas Elliott, said: "We want to spread regeneration around the town and create footfall between the sites to get people spending in Queensway, High Street and The Arcade which they are not doing at the moment."

Parking will benefit from an extra 165 spaces for the users of the 6,358sq m of commercial and leisure space on the Regis Centre site, 64-room hotel, 192 flats and a new boardwalk. The Hothamton site would house a 1,100 seat theatre, 48bed hotel and two shops with a 200 cover restaurant on the former theatre site.

` Steve's pool challenge in memory of Steve A MARATHON pool challenge is being played by a Felpham man to raise funds for his best friend's children.

Steve Carver is playing five players from 15 pubs tomorrow in memory of Andrew 'Splatt' Hardy.

Security man Andrew passed away last month aged 46 and left his two children, Charlie Hardy, 16, and Ellie Hardy, 14, on their own.

Steve said: "I had been mates with Andrew for years. We grew closer after his wife died six years ago.

"He was one of those people who would be by your side instantly if you were in trouble.

"His death was unforeseen and now it is my aim to raise enough money to set up a small trust fund for Charlie and Ellie to have something to look forward to."

He hopes to raise £3,000 after the initial positive response to his fundraising has left his £500 target far behind.

Taxi driver Steve will start his challenge at 10.15am at the Southdowns pub in Felpham.

He will move on to The Cabin in Elmer at 11.30am and then The Elmer at 12.15pm.

A further 12 venues will follow with his finish at Jacks at 11pm.

Steve will play a rack against each of five players at every venue, all of them in the Bognor Pool League, in his fundraising.

` New signs bought to help residents NEW 'no cold calling' signs are to be bought by Aldwick Parish Council.

Its members agreed to purchase 50 of the signs on behalf of the Neighbourhood Watch groups in their area to help to protect their members' homes. The cost will be £354.

The councillors were told at their meeting on Monday: "The current signs are non-compliant as the wording is outdated/incorrect and need replacing with enforceable correctly worded compliant signs."

25 YEARS

Business is booming for manager Mike and his team at Worrell and Fry

wading through the myriad of comparison sites and direct insurers promoting this offer and that deal, it is ever so reassuring to realise that not all insurance brokers are the same.

TALK to Michael Maskell about insurance and within the merest hint of time you’ll realise just why business is booming for Worrell Fry and Co Limited.

Worrell Fry, situated in busy Aldwick Road, has been satisfying customers for 25 years in Bognor Regis and their unswerving commitment to a principled approach means that not only do they have satisfied folks repeating their business, but a new tranche of clientele keen to let the experts do the work on their behalf.

The company, which prides itself on being innovative and excelling in identifying insurance solutions for both individuals and companies, takes time to identify specific requirements and make recommendations that offer wide ranging cover at competitive premiums.

Manager Michael explains: “Along with this modern approach to insurance systems we still maintain traditional values of professionalism and service which endorses our status of being a trusted insurance broker in Sussex, Hampshire and farther afield.”

The company insists on a personal touch when it comes to acting on behalf of their clients and in an era when it’s all the rage to go online and start

within secondary education.

Mark Anstiss, the college's headteacher, said: "It is a genuine privilege to be showcased in the 2016 Parliamentary Review. This is a hugely prestigious publication with a national and international audience.

"To be honest, I was rather shocked when we were contacted about Felpham Community College but clearly someone in government believes we have a good story to tell. I am delighted that our school is getting the recognition it deserves and

am looking forward to celebrating further successes in the future."

The college achieved its best Ofsted report last January. The lead inspector who visited the college, Matthew Newberry, wrote: "Strong leadership from the headteacher and his senior team have brought about significant improvements to key aspects of the school, including pupils’ outcomes, since the last inspection.

"Gaps in achievement among different groups of pupils currently at the school are closing rapidly."

This recognition was followed by excellent exam results last month. A*-C grades were gained by 75% of A-level passes and the GCSE results were a record at a 64% pass rate for five-plus A*-C including English and maths.

These facts alerted The Parliamentary Review's staff to the progress made by the college of some 1,300 pupils led by Mr Anstiss and deputy headteachers Marion Harrington and Pat Ashman.

The Review's director, Daniel Yossman, said: "It's been an utter privilege to work with a range of schools from across the country in this year's review. Without their input, our aims of spreading expert knowledge and raising standards simply would not be achievable."

The Rt Hon David Curry said: "There may be choppy waters ahead but organisations across the country would be well-advised to keep an eye on the representatives in this year's review when deciding how to set their sails."

So, let’s say you get a quote for £200 for cover and are happy with that, then that’s fine. But it’s not inconceivable to discover that when you go back online to renew that insurance a year later that you find that figure has doubled.

“We believe it’s far less of a headache for clients to come to us and get a competitive quote, a personable service and leave with some peace of mind, content that they are in good hands.

“Yes, a policy may cost more 12 months down the line but the increase won’t make your jaw drop to the ground (and we still have the ability on your behalf to shop around other markets for our best deal).”

Loos' closure moves nearer PUBLIC toilets in Aldwick are one decision away from being axed.

Parish councillors reluctantly agreed to refuse to fund the loos at Avisford Park recreation ground and West Meads.

Their decision is being sent to Arun District Council to deliver the final verdict on the conveniences' future. This is likely to be made in early November.

But Arun has already stated it is ready to see the Avisford Park site close completely and West Meads only opened to the public when sports events are held on the adjoining playing field.

Parish councillor Molly Myers said at Monday's meeting it should be made clear to residents the final decision about the loos was down to Arun.

"This issue has been fully discussed and, regretfully, Aldwick Parish Council agree that the decision rests with Arun and the parish council can't commit any extra taxpayers' funds to pay extra costs.

"The toilets belong to Arun and they are built on Arun land," she said.

"Every year since the Nineties, the parish council have co-operated with Arun with our council taxpayers' paying extra funding to keep the public toilets in the Aldwick area open."

The parish council has given £7,300 to Arun every year for about 20 years towards the upkeep of the three sets of loos in Aldwick.

But figures from the district council show it would cost the parish council £14,179 a year to take over the West Meads site and £13,732 for Avisford Park.

A further £48,500 is believed to be needed for major work at Avisford Park in the next five years and £29,750 at West Meads.

West Meads Residents' Association had urged the parish council to support the

The retailer launched a search for real life footage of pets last year.

Sarah Wrightwick-Hotson, the owner of Boots and Luna entered a short video of their antics.

They were filmed on their first trip to the vets.

Sarah said: "I can't believe that Boots and Luna were chosen to star in the new Pets at Home campaign."

toilets in its area. As reported, it is feared their closure could lead to people relieving themselves in nearby bushes.

Cllr Myers said: "We can't make an exception for West Meads as opposed to Avisford Park. They are both in our area."

The formal response about the matter from the parish council states: "The impact to Aldwick taxpayers could mean a potential 40% rise in the precept and possibly lead to a referendum increasing costs further."

Cllr Lillian Richardson, the parish council's chairman, said its members believed they had been given too little time before next Friday's deadline to consider such an important matter.

Vice-chairman Cllr Michael Warden said Arun's figures were too broad on which to base a takeover of the toilets.

"Further investigation into the figures should be done by Arun and proper consultation before they think about closing them," he said.

Cllr Ron Smith said the parish council would have to employ a person to look after the toilets to send the potential cost soaring.

But Arun councillor Phil Hitchins (C, Aldwick West) said the parish council had been wrong to make its decision without seeking talks with Arun.

"I am very disappointed as regards West Meads. I would have thought this council would have gone back to Arun and ask to discuss how much it would cost to keep them open all the time.

"There has been no attempt to go back to Arun and ask 'what if, what if, what if'.

"There are three different choices: shutting, opening part time and opening full time." he said. The other Aldwick toilets at West Park will stay open.

Government turns down plans for homes in village

by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11 GOVERNMENT minister Sajid Javid has scrapped plans for up to 100 homes in Yapton.

Mr Javid delighted villagers by overruling one of his planning inspectors about the scheme on land to the south of Ford Lane and east of North End Road.

One of his civil servants, Phil Barber, issued the decision last week.

He wrote that the Yapton Neighbourhood Plan, which was backed by residents, should take precedent in deciding if the housing should go ahead.

The plan did not allocate the site for housing when it was backed by villagers two years ago. A total of 369 of them wrote to protest against the homes.

"The Secretary of State finds that the proposal is in conflict with Policy BB1 (in the plan) as it is not in the built up area boundary and does not fall within any of the exemptions listed in the policy.

"The Secretary of State considers that neighbourhood plans, once made part of the development plan, should be upheld as an effective means to shape and direct development in the neighbourhood planning area in question.

"He therefore concludes that the identified adverse impacts of this proposal would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the identified benefits when

assessed against the policies....as a whole.

The Secretary of State concludes that the policies should fail," Mr Barber said.

Yapton Parish Council clerk Andrew Gardiner said: "This shows that made neighbourhood plans do have a value. It is great news and timing, especially with the call-in on the Burndell Road site."

Mr Javid has also recently agreed to review Arun District Council's decision to approve 108 homes for Burndell Road.

For the Ford Lane/North End Road scheme, Keith Langmead Ltd asked Arun for outline planning permission for up to 100 homes, with one in three being affordable, on 3.4 hectares of land together with 1.1ha of public open space and strategic landscaping and 2.2ha of public open space and vehicle access.

Arun refused permission for the homes in October 2014. This was overturned by planning inspector David Nicholson after a public inquiry in July 2015 following Keith Langmead's appeal against the council's decision.

Mr Javid has agreed with much of Mr Nicholson's reasoning. He agrees Yapton is one of the district's most sustainable locations for new housing and that Arun cannot show a five year housing land supply as the government requires.

He also says the new housing would not harm St Mary's Church.

But none of these matters is enough to outweigh the importance of the neighbourhood plan.

Deal will help centre's users CUSTOMERS at the Arun Leisure Centre in Felpham will benefit from a new operating deal, councillors were told.

The Arun District Council cabinet members agreed to change how the popular sports building is maintained.

They were told by Robin Wickham, the council's leisure and voluntary sector manager, the variation of the dual use agreement between Arun and land owner West Sussex County Council reflected the current management of the building.

"The proposed changes to the planned and reactive maintenance will result in an efficient and effective service with one party having overall

responsibility for delivery.

"Given the current economic climate, the proposals offer a more streamlined, cost effective and appropriate working model for the Arun Leisure Centre."

The latest operating contract for the centre, issued by Arun last April, puts more onus on the new contractor, Freedom Leisure, to carry out maintenance compared to previous contracts since the original dual use agreement was signed in 1976.

Before the contract began, a detailed condition survey on the fabric of the building was carried out. This enabled a 15 year planned maintenance schedule to be produced.

goods and services to each other.

"It seems only fitting that the chamber, which has successfully represented the commercial interests of Bognor Regis for nearly 100 years, should organise the meals."

The chamber's executive committee continues to meet formally. Its annual Britten Trophy and the new business award also recognise the best in Bognor Regis personally and as a company.

Starting the new lunch club is a sign of the renewed strength of the chamber. Its membership is steadily climbing back towards 100 as more and more firms see the advantages of belonging.

"These are uncertain times for all businesses," said Mr Cunard. "That's why it makes sense to become a member of the chamber and I'm glad an increasing number of companies are realising that."

The meals cost £17.50 for chamber members and £20 non-members. Details from:treasurer@bognorregischamber.biz

The town's chamber of commerce and industry is launching its lunch club next month. On the menu will be the chance for leading businessmen and women from around the area to get together in a relaxed atmosphere.

The lunches will take place monthly from October 21 at 1pm at Middleton Sports Club in Sea Lane.

Chamber chairman Alan Cunard said: "We believe the lunch club will be enjoyable to those individuals who run companies in the Bognor Regis area.

"There are very few opportunities available for those who help Bognor Regis to prosper to meet each other and chat. It's not that business talk will be banned or anything like that.

Autumn Event

Art for heart's sake at family show THREE members of an artistic Bognor Regis family have put their works on display.

Romp Family Arts has well over 80 paintings, plus 30-plus sculptures, on view inside their home and studios.

They have turned their address of the past six years at 28 Devonshire Road into a temporary gallery for three weekends to enable others to see their love of creating works of art.

Among the pieces on show are copies of three murals which Oscar Romp, the son of Howard Romp and Pauline Farrington, painted for Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey of scenes from in and outpatient departments.

A former nurse at the hospital has been one of the dozens of visitors to the display. Jenny Hazel told them she remembered the murals being installed.

"There is no one word to describe the pleasure your creativity has given," she wrote in the visitors' book. "Talent at its very best. Wonderful work and each so different."

Another visitor, Lin Bradley, wrote: "Explosion of art and talent. Great viewing."

The Romp family moved to Bognor Regis in 2010 having lived in Guildfordfor 30 years and France.

They had kept their mass of artwork in the attic of their new home but decided the time was right to put it on display.

Their exhibition is open from 10am7pm tomorrow and Sunday for its final weekend. More than 50 visitors have so far taken the chance to experience the productive and creative atmosphere at their combined home and studios.

The oldest work on show is Pauline's

1958 view of Peckham in south-east London, when she was a student at Camberwell School of Art. The most recent are two stylised versions of Butlin's painted by Howard this year.

"It's quite fun turning your home into a museum for a short spell," said Howard.

"It's interesting seeing your old paintings. You can remember painting them. It's like keeping a diary."

Pauline said: "You get instant recall. We paint what interests us."

That includes cooling towers for Howard, such as In the Shadow of the Tower, pictured left, as well as some 3D work.

This includes a 5m-long mixed media piece entitled The Pondering Boy, which features the trials and tribulations of adulthood.

He said: "We paint because we want to paint. I have always had mixed feelings about my work.

"Some bits I like very much. Others I don't like so much. That's always the case with everyone. But you move on to the next thing and hope to do it better."

Other art pieces they have created convey a love of, and engagement, with music and dancing, paintings and drawings of landscapes and sculpture about people in their daily lives.

The work is in watercolour, gouache, oil, acrylic, clay and other media.

"Some of the work has been exhibited before and has some of it has not, "said Pauline. "Oscar's work has been quite frequently exhibited."

The family have always been involved in the art world. They have taught the subject, worked with community art projects and in art centres.

MILLIONS of pounds are set to be spent

by Butlin's to take its Bognor Regis resort into the next three decades.

The holiday company is planning to invest £30-35m on a bigger swimming pool for the popular site.

Resort director Jeremy Pardey said: "This is a huge investment for Bognor Regis which will secure the resort guest experience for the next 25 years.

"It shows great confidence by our parent company, Bourne Leisure, in the future of this resort. It's a real boost for my team and for Bognor Regis."

Formal planning permission for the swimming pool will be sought by Butlin's at the end of this month. The company hopes Arun District Council will decide the plans next January.

If they are approved, work will begin to prepare for the construction of the pool on a site to the east of the resort.

This will lead to the demolition of 1,005 bedspaces in team and guest accommodation chalets.

The new pool is expected to take nearly two years to build and should open in

the summer of 2018.

It will be a third bigger than the resort's existing pool. Some 1,000 bathers will be able to enjoy its facilities compared to the 700 capacity of the current site.

A central feature of the new pool will be a rapid river which will take bathers' breath away as it transports them on a watery journey of exhilaration.

A tide pool and flumes will also be included to provide further watery enjoyment for all ages.

The first public view of the pool was given in a public consultation in Butlin's conference centre on Tuesday.

Mr Pardey said: "The swimming pool is important to the experience of our guests. Our surveys show their number two reason for visiting us is having a swimming pool by the sea.

"We're not doing this because we think it's the right thing to do. It's because our guests tell us it is the right thing.

"Our existing pool is 29 years old and is coming to the end of its life.

"We would rather invest in a new pool than refurbish the existing one because we don't want to be without a pool while the work is going on."

The pool building's architecture will reflect the art deco style of the resort's

hotels and it has been designed as an internal version of a lido.

The pool will be the same distance from houses in Sea Road as the current pool is from the seafront to limit the impact of noise for surrounding residents.

Mr Pardey said it had also been designed to ensure noise was kept to the minimum. Its opening hours of 8am9pm most days will control its use as well.

A 558-space decked car park will ensure no parking spaces are lost in the long term.

Butlin's also intends to replace its bedspaces in future plans but Mr Pardey stated it would always stay within the limit set in its lease with Arun. * MORE waiting cars will be taken off the roads as part of the changes for the new swimming pool at Butlin's.

A new internal road layout will involve creating an arrivals desk further within the site to allow for 80 more cars to queue within the resort.

Jeremy Pardey, the resort's director, said: "That should make a massive difference to the traffic flow in the resort and I feel it should definitely eradicate any issues on the roundabout."

` Still time to have say on council tax TIME remains for Bognor Regis residents to have their say about proposed changes to council tax.

Arun District Council is seeking to cut the amount of support it provides to the poorest members of the community through its council tax reduction scheme.

It wants to make the savings because it needs to find more money for its services. The deadline for comments is October 16. Details can be seen at www.arun.gov.uk Cllr Dudley Wensley, the council's deputy leader, said: "Any savings that the council makes on council tax reduction could be invested into the other services Arun provides which may in turn reduce the likelihood of council tax increases and mean residents across the district benefit."

` Former hotel's windows must stay BOW windows at the former King's Beach Hotel in Pagham must stay.

Arun District Council planning officer Richard Temple has approved 13 new signs to be placed around the building for its proposed use as a Coop convenience store.

But he said the windows could not be removed in line with the ruling of a government planning inspector. This answers Pagham Parish Council's concerns about the signs' application which failed to mention the window.

Mr Temple said in his report: "The applicant should be aware that the permission does not give consent for the replacement of the windows."

Surgeon leads fundraising to help prostate patients PROSTATE patients from around Bognor Regis will benefit from a new hospital scanner.

The £85,000 prostate template biopsy machine has been installed at St Richard's Hospital thanks to a fundraising drive by a consultant urology surgeon.

Paul Carter, who is also the chief of surgery for Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation Trust, led the fundraising by taking part in the challenging Medoc Marathon last September running through vineyards in the Bordeaux region of France.

He raised more than £12,000 for Love Your Hospital, the trust's official charity, and appealed to other charities and organisations to help with extra funding.

A host of charities and community groups came together to enable the purchase of the scanner.

It will mean urologists at St Richard's Hospital can investigate the whole prostate gland and provide quicker, less invasive and more accurate diagnosis for patients in Bognor Regis, Chichester, Littlehampton, Worthing and the surrounding areas.

The template biopsy machine will also benefit existing prostate cancer patients as their condition is monitored. Results can be accessed quicker by consultants and more patients will be able to be seen.

Mr Carter said: "This new prostate template biopsy equipment will have a huge impact on the lives of men we

see in the clinic, improving the care we provide by making the whole process quicker and better for them.

"Everyone who has kindly donated has helped us to provide the diagnostic procedure at St Richard's Hospital, which saves our patients from having to travel further outside the area."

Donations were received by Friends of Chichester Hospitals, Chichester PCaSO Prostate Cancer Network, West Sussex Urology LLP, Bognor Regis League of

Friends, Adur East Lions Club, Arundel Rotary Club, Bognor Regis Lions Club, Lodge of Union 38 and Midhurst and Petworth Rotary Club.

Jazz Troupe, the Pagham Mulberries, also held gigs in aid of the cause.

A thank you event for all of them was held in the hospital last Thursday.

Gymnasts aiming high to win small business award

by Kevin Smith kevin.smith@sussexpost.co.uk 01243 908506 ext 11

f Joel and Anna King

GYMNASTIC club founders Anna and Joel King are aiming high to cater for future Olympians in Bognor Regis.

The couple hope to win this year's national Nectar Business Small Business Award. They have been selected for the award's shortlist and intend to use its £2,000 cash prize and 50,000 Nectar points if they win to expand their business, Regis Gymnastics CIC, to enable more people to learn the sport.

Anna said: "We would like to invest the prize fund back into the business to help grow this area and we also expect to see an increase in interest for the sport following the Olympics.

"From starting Regis Gymnastics CIC in 2010, it's great to see how far the business has come - to think we initially operated out of a van taking equipment from A to B." She and Joel have just a month to find out if their club will win the contribution to the community category. It is open to a public vote until October 22 at the facebook.com/nectarbusiness page where fans can help to decide this year's winner.

The club was set up by Anna and Joel in response to a demand for the sport around Bognor Regis.

It is a gymnastics club with a social ethos and aims to improve lives and

prospects through participation in sport.

If Regis Gymnastics win, it will see Anna and Joel invited to the Nectar Busienss round table and awards ceremony in November.

This will enable them to meet and receive tailored expert advice from Sarah Willingham and other business professionals who also judged the awards.

"Receiving an invite to the Nectar Business round table event and the opportunity to get first-hand advice from the likes of Sarah Willingham for our business would be really valuable in taking us to the next level," said Anna.

"We have recently introduced new initiatives to help the local community, including a 50 per cent discount on fees for children in local authority care and rebound therapy for those with disabilities."

Lead judge and serial entrepreneur Ms Willingham is encouraging the public to visit the Facebook page to vote for the business they find the most inspiring.

"This year I have been absolutely blown away by the number of entries and the sheer quality of those businesses that have entered the Nectar Business Small Business Awards.

"The contribution to the community award celebrates how a business's success isn't just decided by how much money it makes, but what it stands for and what it means to the community it exists in," she added.

` Fraud success SOME £300,000 has been saved so far in a clampdown by Arun District Council on housing fraud.

The council intends to continue the initiative to search for those who are conning the system.

Last Thursday's housing and customer services working group agreed to recommend the next full council meeting in November decides to extend the scheme for a further year.

Cllr Trevor Bence, who is in charge of the council's housing services, said: "Preventing and detecting fraud within the council's housing function is vital.

"This includes sub-letting of council properties, tenants living elsewhere, fraudulent housing register allocation and Right to Buy fraud.

"This initiative has established a 'zero tolerance' culture and the council are confident in their assurances to Arun residents that they are preventing individuals from taking advantage of its social housing resources."

The council recruited its first housing fraud investigator last January to bring back ten properties into lawful use this year. This target has already been achieved.

The past nine months have seen 65 cases of possible fraud considered.

The Audit Commission says bringing a social housing property back into legitimate use saves a council £18,000 a year.

To this, Arun has added the prevention of Right to Buy, housing benefit and council tax fraud to receive its estimated savings.

FAMOUS performance poet Attila the Stockbroker laid into a council for its bid to stop the first Blakefest in Bognor Regis.

Attila accused Arun District Council of being uncaring about the celebration of the life and works of William Blake in prose and music.

He told the Post: "The council has tried to stifle this event. It's a disgraceful attitude. It's disgraceful to Bognor Regis and disgraceful to William Blake.

"From the start, they have been people who don't know what creativity is.

"I have been doing this for a living for 35 years and I've got a real experience of festivals but I don't think I've ever come across a council with the same attitude as Arun.

"Councils normally try to encourage individuals who come up with ideas for festivals. They want to support them.

"But the opposite has happened here. It appears the council has not wanted Blakefest to happen. It seems to me to be completely ridiculous to have that atttitude, for whatever reason. No-one seems to know what time anyone is supposed to be on because everything has had to be changed at the last minute.

"People who are organising festivals like this should get proper support from councils.

Deborah Rose, Sounditions, New Gentlemen of the Old School and Skye pleased those who still attended in spite of the last minute change of venue. Its first floor also housed an art exhibition devoted to Blake.

Blakefest co-organiser Sean Parker said: "The first day was really good and today is looking to be the same.

"We just wanted to make sure the time spent in Felpham by Blake, who is an international figure, was recognised.

"He is an inspirational person and we wanted to have a festival which reflects that. We will look at holding another festival next year, probably outside, because it will give us enough time to get it together."

Blake lived in Felpham from 1800-1803 when he famously wrote the words which became Jerusalem.

AMAZING enjoyment is available at Aldingbourne Country Centre's latest attraction.

Tuesday saw the largest maze opened to provide visitors with a test of their sense of direction.

Made up of 1,500 privet plants, it contains two correct routes through to the viewing platform and plenty of dead ends to contend with on the way.

There are also several sculptures throughout the maze about the centre's operator, the Aldingbourne Trust, for them to spot on their way to the middle.

Each successful visitor who gets to the middle, and back out again, will be rewarded with a certificate.

The maze was officially opened at the charity's annual meeting on Tuesday. The ceremony was attended by The Woodhorn Group, which sponsored the maze, as well as trustees, the adults with learning disabilities who are supported by the charity, employees and supporters of the trust.

John Pitts, the group's managing director, said: "We have a saying in farming that, if you plant a tree, it's for the next generation to enjoy.

"Here at Aldingbourne we have planted 1,500 trees to create the maze for many future generations to enjoy and we have all been very proud to be associated with the Aldingbourne Trust."

The size of a maze is determined by the number of individual plants which make it up. The total in the country centre's maze

NEXT Wednesday will see a talk in Bognor Regis Library about the anniversary of a national event.

Dr Bill Martin will be explaining about the 120 familes who moved from north-east England to the south coast to start new lives in 1936.

They were among the 1,000 former miners and shipbuilders who moved to 20 Land Settlement Association sites to become market gardeners.

A heritage trail has been created in Sidlesham to commemorate the LSA and the talk by Dr Martin will bring the events of 80 years ago to life.

It will be held at 7pm in the London Road library. Tickets cost £4 from the library.

` New kitchen NEARLY £7,000 is to be spent by Aldwick councillors on a new kitchen.

The parish council members agreed on Monday to accept a quote for £6,815.99 to replace the facility at their offices in Pryors Lane.

A report to the council meeting stated: "The present kitchen is not up to present day acceptable working conditions and needs to be modernised to reflect the hygenic standards and ease of use the council are adopting for everyone using the facilities."

means it is the biggest in Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.

Work on the maze, which covers 1,000sq m, started last September. The design was planned and the ground prepared.

A perfect area near to the gardening plots was available.

Last November saw a team of hardy volunteers, including some from the Chichester Young Farmers group, brave the cold weather and plant all the privets in one weekend.

The viewing platform was created by the country centre's resident builder, Tony Roddis, and the Aldingbourne apprentice, Harry Watson, and 47 cubic metres of bark was laid across the maze area.

The Aldingbourne Country Centre - north of the A27 near Fontwell - is the main site for the Aldingbourne Trust.

The charity supports adults with learning disabilties, who train at the centre and learn skills to live independently.

THE leader of West Sussex County Council has warned of a ‘perfect storm’ of funding pressures and policy changes which will have a damaging effect on local schools and children’s learning.

Louise Goldsmith has written to education secretary Justine Greening to plead for urgent support to address issues which have ‘built up over years of under-funding’.

Growers get go-ahead for firms to blossom GROWERS around Bognor Regis have been given approval for their businesses to bloom.

The horticultural companies in specific locations will benefit from the removal of red tape in the planning process.

Approval for a local development order for the industry, which removes the need for planning permission for certain developments, was agreed by councillors last week.

This cuts costs and increases certainty for the businesses which form part of an important sector of the economy.

The order will apply to ten sites across the Arun district. They include two in Pagham and further locations in Woodgate, off Sack Lane in Shripney, and off Eastergate Lane, Barnham Lane and Yapton Road in the Five Villages.

Spokesman John Hall, of the West Sussex Growers' Association, said: "We welcome this initiative by Arun and see it as a positive for the horticultural industry in the area.

"Our only concern is that some very obvious and key horticultural areas have been left out of the order."

Backing for the order came at Arun's full meeting last Wednesday.

A total of 102 responses were received by the council to its consultation about its draft order. These resulted in the proposed areas at Barnham and Binsted being removed because of traffic concerns if the businesses grew and the area at Woodgate reduced.

f PCSO Michelle Davies hands the cheque to Alan Gammon

Charity helped with crime cash POLICE in Bognor Regis have donated £500 to Littlehampton Shopmobility to fund an update to CCTV cameras.

Shopmobility chairman Alan Gammon said: "I would like to give our thanks to Sussex Police for the generous donation to update our CCTV system.

"This will help in our bid to curb any antisocial behaviour and criminal offences in the area.”

The donation comes from the Police Property Act Fund. This is made up of monies received by the police from property confiscated by order of the court and then sold.

Trustee Vicky Rhodes added: "I

would like to say a big thank you to our local police in providing this donation, which will help towards preventing any criminal activity.”

Littlehampton Shopmobility is based in St Martin's Lane in the town centre and has a lease for the premises until 2023.

It was started in 1996 and became part of 3 Towns Shopmobility maintaining its independence but joining forces with the Bognor Regis and Worthing Shopmobility schemes to work together.

3 Towns Shopmobility no longer continues but there is still joint membership between all three branches.

Mission for students to gain highest qualification and skills

Friday, September 22, 2016 Advertising Feature Advertising Feature 19 19 postnewspapers.co.uk postnewspapers.co.uk

Opportunities abound at The Regis School in Bognor Regis The Regis School Westloats Lane, Bognor Regis PO21 5LH Tel: 01243 871010 www.theregisschool.co.uk The school is committed to bringing out the best in everyone and has made rapid progress in recent years to achieve that aim.

The improvements have been recognised by Ofsted and enable each of its 1,500 students to benefit from individually tailored learning to reflect their unique abilities. Teaching strategies, new technologies, curriculum provision, individual and small group support and accelerated provision can all be used to provide the best learning environment.

As the principal, Mike Garlick, says: "Our mission remains to ensure that all students gain the highest qualifications and skills that will create successful futures and develop them as active, caring citizens. "To this end, students have access to a tremendous range of opportunities available at The Regis School and are strongly encouraged to aim high and move on to further and higher education." This is achieved by celebrating each student's skills and embracing diversity. That commitment is shown by The Regis School's status as one of only 13 level Rights Respecting Schools in the country - a status rightly prized by everyone at the school. "It helps us to ensure that the best interests of the child are at the forefront of our

planning and decision making," said Mr Garlick. The well-respected Unicef also values the work of the school.

Katie Cox, from the global body, said: "The Regis School consistently sets a shining example to other schools by placing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of their school's planning, policies and practices." The status is one of three which the school is proud to possess.

It is a long-standing Sports Specialist College which uses the medium of sport to encourage its students to stay healthy, encourage confidence, build leadership skills and work collaboratively - and with great success.

The recognition as an Artsmark Gold School last year reflected the dedication and enthusiasm in providing a wide range of quality arts education and opportunities for all and specific opportunities for those with a talent for the arts. This includes a professional standard recording studio as well as specialist arts and photography rooms.

All this, and a range of complementary facilities as well, on a campus rated by the then headteacher as among the best in Europe when the current school building opened at the start of this decade. And students certainly appreciate the chances they are offered.

Zoe Lewis says: "The Regis School is an amazing school with lots of different opportunities for each and every child."

No wonder The Regis School can bring out the abilities of its pupils to put them at the top of the class.

DENMANS

GARDEN

Tucked away, far from the hustle and bustle of the A27, just behind Fontwell Racecourse is a quiet gem of a garden.

Denmans was the garden to a minor stately home built about 1820 for Lord Denman, so there is, of course, a walled garden, and a conservatory – alive with the chatter of budgerigars, and a larger area for frost tender plants; at the bottom of the garden there is a large natural looking pond. The garden at Denmans is nearly 4 acres in size and its layout is such that visitors enjoy lots of quiet, small areas within the overall, for it is punctuated with statues, a nice pot or a warm sitting corner. It is a garden full of ideas to take home that can then be interpreted within smaller spaces. There is something about this garden, which is quite unlike many others. Its display is not only to do with flower colour, but foliage form, texture and the use of gravel lending the garden a Mediterranean feel.

Levi wear it so well for a 'skindie' band GIG REVIEWS by MARTIN JONES SKINDIE band Levi held a pre-launch party for their new single 'Mercy (On Me) at Bognor's Lamb Steyne, and as well as a 90 minute live set, their new self produced promo film was also shown during the interval.

They call their music “Skindie” which is a fusion of ska and indie, but it goes even further than that stretching to reggae and occasionally drifting towards a more punky sound.

Front man Leeroy Brooks and drummer Bob Pegg both studied music technology at Chichester College, while guitarist Mikey Brewer studied at BIMM. Bassist Conan Elliot is the new kid on the block, having joined the band a year ago.

Opening with an instrumental reggae jam, they then warmed the crowd up with some of their own brand of music,

Your FREE weekly entertainment guide

with the odd cover thrown in, which included The Specials 'Little Bitch' and 'Caution' by Bob Marley.

The interval was a little too long and the second half of the set was played to a half full pub and those who left missed a treat. Sound problems which had caused some minor interruptions to the opening set were overcome and the band played a high energy 45 minute set.

All four songs from the new EP were featured, including their tribute to the Paris terror attacks, 'To Paris With Love'.

It is refreshing to see a young band playing some original material and they deserved a bigger audience.

Musically, I doubt that it was the best gig they have played, but make no mistake, these boys have talent, catchy tunes and attitude. Give youth a chance!

Meanwhile, Southampton based Pink Floyd tribute band, The Wall Of Floyd

made a return visit to the St Paul's Arts Centre in Worthing.

The venue is a former church which closed in 1996, but following a £2million refurbishment, it is now a unique music venue. The first half of the two hour set opened with 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' from the 'Wish You Were Here' album. The title track from the same album and 'Have A Cigar' also featured in the first half of a set, which ended with 'High Hopes' from 'The Division Bell' Opening the second half of the night with 'Breathe', part two of the show was dominated by the classic 'Dark Side Of The Moon' with the exception of 'Another Brick In The Wall' .

'Brain Damage' brought the main set to a close, but the encore was 'Comfortably Numb' and 'Run Like Hell' from 1979's 'The Wall'. Support was provided by Worthing-based Andrew Foster.

Pigeon Detectives provide clue to indie fix at festival CHECK out the Pigeon Detectives, above, at the Southsea Fest, the autumn's leading multi-venue music event, which takes place on October 1.

Melanie is special. She excels in the classroom, is inquisitive, imaginative, and loves her favourite teacher Miss Justineau.

How Len delivers story-telling with a bit of a twist...

His act has been billed as story telling with a twist Len Gould is something of an enigma to the people who go to watch his one-of-a-kind performances.

The storyteller and performer, who played a number of dates at St Martin's Coffee House as part of the Chichester Festival, provides short stories and acts which are new interpretations of literature.

Len formerly belonged to a group of like-minded folk and would share his stories with other members, but 18 months ago he decided to go it solo and start performing his literature. Once the owner of a comedy and cabaret club in London, it’s easy to see how confidence has helped him take the next step.

He said: “I wanted to venture out on my own and see what that was like, I had done the whole working with a group thing for a while and I just wanted that experience of ‘going solo’ and see what

audiences thought of the material I had created.”

Len dots his performances with a lot of improvisation, promising you that no show by The Storyteller is the same.

“Improvisation is the key I think in my performance," he added."

Robert Jones’s stunning stage set for John Galsworthy’s play Strife, which recently ended its run in the Minerva, is nominated for Best Design.

Two Sheffield Theatre musicals directed by Daniel Evans, the incoming Artistic Director of CFT, Showboat and Flowers for Mrs Harris, also figure strongly in the nominations; while The Herbal Bed, produced for English Touring Theatre by Chichester’s incoming executive director Rachel Tackley, is nominated as Best Touring Production.

News of the transfer came as Church claimed the Chichester production had become the venue’s fastest-selling ever. Though it is a new version, the musical retains a number of composer David Heneker’s songs from the original.

It is directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, and features choreography by Andrew Wright, design by Paul Brown, lighting

Meanwhile, two young actors from Chichester’s hugely acclaimed Young Checkhov trilogy in Festival 2015, now playing at the National Theatre, are recognised for their roles.

He employs the help of Josh Farraday, Goodnight Robicheaux, Jack Horne, Billy Rocks, Vasquez, and Red Harvest and together these seven bounty hunters, gamblers, and hired guns set about protecting the desperate townspeople.

As they prepare the town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves massively outnumbered and fighting for more than money in this bold reimagining of John Sturges’ classic and renowned Western.

Revel in the bargain-price Rioja at Tesco...

Our very own bon vivant gets to grips with all the best buys

finish — buy some in for Christmas! My bargain of the week, however, hails from Italy and is a 2015 Ogio Primitivo red wine currently on offer for a mere £4.50. This is a good wine from the Puglia region, in the heel of Italy's boot and is a soft and juicy wine bursting with spicy blackcurrant and raspberry fruit flavours with a rich velvety finish . At this price fill your boots.

As I browsed the white wine section I unearthed a Vieux Papes Vin de France for the princely sum of £4 and noted its freshness and citrus notes and found it to be very palatable for the price.

I also espied a Lindeman's Bin

65 Australian chardonnay for £5.50 with a 13.5 alcohol volume with pear and vanilla on the nose and good acidity.

If you are willing to spend another 50p you can avail yourself of the Macon Villages Blanc retailing at an everyday £6 and enjoy a wine which is slightly creamy, crisp and peachy, good on the palate and decidedly non-acidic.

I hope these recession-buster wines prove suitably therapeutic this weekend!

Customer Lesley Todd has been a regular at the Charcoal Grill for many years and is happy to endorse both the quality of the service and the food.

She said: “I have used this place for a long time now and the guys are so friendly. I find that the food quality is second to none, the delivery is quick and it’s open very late which can be handy, especially when I have been working long hours.”

“I genuinely can’t fault it. They also cater for all the family and have a kid’s menu so if you want to have a break from cooking try ordering a takeaway and I am sure that you will not be disappointed.”

And the dessert menu is particularly tempting, too.

Try the Baklava; a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or honey.

Don’t just take our word for it. See for yourself online at www.bognorcharcoalgrill.co.uk and browse through the extensive menu in the comfort of your own home.

Delicious food at Grill LOVE at first bite is assured with tasty takeaway meals at The Charcoal Grill in Bognor Regis.

Mouth-watering mozzarella fingers, marinated fillet of lamb or chicken on the skewer, interlaced with slices of onion, green peppers and mushrooms and grilled over a charcoal grill?

Enough to get your taste buds excited? If not, try a traditional Turkish dolma; stuffed vine leaves with rice, herbs and spices.

Perhaps a vegetarian pizza with green peppers, onions, mushrooms and sweetcorn fits the bill?

It all sounds delicious, right? It could easily be a selection of grub worthy of a trendy High Street eatery menu. But all of the above is available from one of the best of what is more commonly known as “kebab shops” in Bognor Regis.

The Charcoal Grill, in the town’s Station Road, offers a vast selection of food. It can be taken away or why not eat in to take advantage of our excellent service in our lovely restaurant area. Customers have been doing just that for 35 years - and they keep coming back for more time after time.

Be it pizza, burgers or kebabs, all meals on the extensive menu are prepared with fresh ingredients by experienced staff who will ensure that your food is cooked just the way you like it.

THIS week back in sunny Sussex I am going to suggest that you revel in bargainprice Rioja at Tesco — two stunning choices in terms of value for money.

And it appears that the offer price continues to at least September 26, so I advise you to go there this weekend and avail yourself of these bargains.

The Faustino V11 2013 Rioja may well be the entry level Rioja from this famous family — owned Bodega but is a well crafted wine and benefits from some ageing in both barrel and bottle.

Ruby in colour, this wine, having lost the purple intensity of extreme youth, has rich jammy fruits on the palate and vanilla and spice on the finish, clear evidence of the ten months it has spent in new American oak.

At just £5, snap this up as I doubt that it will disappoint you. The other Rioja, namely the Castillo San Lorenzo Reserva 2010, is priced at two bottles for £10, a very low price for a Reserva.

You will discover with this wine strawberry and plum fruit with wellrounded tannins balanced with some vanilla oak culminating in a subtle spicy

IN spite of Mr Rahman's dislike of smelly charity shops, I believe they are very popular and many people use them to find a bargain or to look for something that cannot find in local retail shops.

Some people use them out of necessity and cannot be as fussy as Mr Rahman.

Since charity shops depend largely on volunteers, how on earth can they be expected to set up coffee shops, especially as the town has enough already.

Rather than damaging the retail offering I have heard many people travel to Bognor Regis just to visit the charity shops and that is better than having 12 empty premises.

Can you solve our fiendishly tricky crossword?

Take your time, you may need to

I was shocked to read locally the sad statistics of sexual attacks on children by children in schools - where we see them as safe.

Frightening.

Children have fallen victim to 282 sex crimes in Sussex schools over the past five years – and the vast majority were committed by other youngsters. Figures released by Sussex Police under the Freedom of Information Act revealed the age groups of the offenders ranged from 10-65. The vast majority of these reports relate to children offending against each other.

The crimes included rape, sexual assault, sexual activity with a child, exposure, abuse of trust, voyeurism and sexual grooming.

Don’t consider it mainly girls.

The children targeted most often were boys aged 13 and under, with 90 sexual assaults reported since 2011/12 – 39 in 2014/15 alone – while there were 12 cases of rape. Girls still factored highly however.

The figures only included actual crimes, not ‘ incidents’ but it is common to hear from young girls particularly about incidences which are classed as “boys will be boys” attitude … when walking from their English to science lesson for example having their bra strap being pinged, their skirt suddenly lifted from behind, or letters of the alphabet loudly bandied about so they know it is an assessment of the size of your breasts.

We know young boys are not born this way, but have learned the lessons of a pervasive cultural reality that views women as objects of male desire.

We know too that teaching boys and girls about how and why such behaviour is unacceptable makes the problem visible – the first step in rooting it out. With boys clearly, the need to be aware that they can too be sexually attacked needs to be openly discussed.

We need more than the schools quoting about their sexual education programmes - we need a robust system that is sensitive to children’s needs, viewing their experiences with the seriousness that the word violence demands. This isn’t kids just being kids. Schools need a zero tolerance system that will not allow such actions between children, not just to girls.

Sussex Police works extensively with schools, with specially assigned officers providing input into the curriculum. These officers help to raise awareness of issues such as consent, as part of the children’s personal social health and citizenship education but indeed it must come down to all of us as parents to reinforce boundaries, respect and consent issues.

Interestingly, I happened to be discussing the article with a local police officer and he said, unsurprisingly perhaps, that funding cuts have meant such input in schools is reducing - at a time when it should be increasing.

A SPECIAL visit saw some of the society's members enjoy looking around one of the country's most important religious buildings.

The 16 members, pictured above, had a thoroughly enjoyable day looking around Lambeth Palace and its library and gardens as part of their 80th anniversary celebrations.

Lambeth Palace, on the south bank of the River Thames, has been an historic London residence of the Archbishops of Canterbury since the 13th century.

The members arrived by train at London Victoria on time. Most of them decided to walk from the station to the palace with a stop on the way for a picnic on the Embankment.

They gathered in front of the palace at 2pm and the afternoon passed with a pleasant and enjoyable tour.

Janet Hogben, of the society, said: "Sarah Etheridge, one of the staff from the library, acted as our

guide and started by giving us a brief history of Lambeth Palace.

"We also had talks from several of Sarah's colleagues, including a document conservator and one of the archivists who talked about the history of the gardens.

"It was fascinating to discover that many of the Archbishops' wives have made their mark on the gardens.

"We were shown plans and drawings of the gardens dating back to the 13th century."

One of the wives, Rosalind Runcie, organised fundraising and a major garden restoration between 1986 and 1988.

Her project included an Elizabethan-style herb and physic garden.

The society is always looking to welcome new members and meets at 7.30pm on the fourth Thursday monthly at the Jubilee Hall in Chalcraft Lane, North Bersted.

More details and its monthly programme of events can be found at its website http:// www.brhortsoc.co.uk

Why is the Council unable to understand the views of the residents of Chichester that there are alternatives to the plan to build 1600 in all which do not destroy the agricultural land that we will need to feed the population in the future?

The views presented at the meeting at the district council last week is an attempt to delay the construction of 1600 homes which none of the residents of Chichester want to be built on the agricultural land when alternative brown sites are available.

Nineveh House Players

A CAT viewing day is being held tomorrow at the Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre in Sidlesham.

The special occasion will give friends of felines the chance to see if they would like to re-home any of them, subject to a pre-home visit.

The centre has around 200 cats and kittens and would like to make this viewing day its best as a fitting way to help celebrate its 30th anniversary.

Viewing will take place from midday-2pm at the centre at Holborrow Lodge in Chalder Lane.

REHEARSALS are underway for next year's panto at Climping Village Hall.

The Nineveh House Players, pictured above with a previous panto, have begun preparing for their next annual festive special. THey will be presenting the musical version of Sleeping Beauty on January 6 and 7.

The Players are mainly traders with shops within the Nineveh House Antiques Centre in Arundel's Tarrant Street. THey are also being joined by residents from the surrounding area.

Those taking part live from east of Worthing to west of Chichester.

A spokesman for the Players said: "It has been decided that money raised from this coming pantomime will go to the Aldingbourne Trust.

"THis is a charity that is committed to supporting the well being of people with learning disabilities by developing their skills, helping them to maintain their own tenancies, gain employment in the local community and encouraging them to lead more fulfilled and independent lives."

Pantomimes presented by the Players in the past three years has raised a grand total of more than £9,000 for the Chestnut Tree House children's hospice near Arundel.

Every pound raised through ticket sales and raffles at the pantos goes to charities, including sales of the programme.

Windmills were a focal point around the town to crush clay-iron stone from the beach, which was used in the manufacture of roman cement, a much needed commodity during the expansion of Bognor.

The clay ironstone was called septaria or kidney-rack, because it was veined with semi-transparent calcite. The poor of the parish and fishermen dug this raw material from beneath the sands.

By the 1880s the mill was taken over

by Thomas Norris and his son, and they converted it into a flour mill. The mill was eventually closed at the end of the 1880s and by the turn of the century had been demolished.

When the mill was pulled down, a curious metal sign in the shape of a fox was discovered. It was thought at the time that it might have come from Bognor’s ancient smuggler tavern, The Fox. Another mill was that of the Black Tower Mill in Nyetimber. It was built in the early 1840s and was a four-storey brick tower mill with an ogee cap.

The mill drove two pairs of millstones.

One of the earliest millers was William Adams who held this position for quite a number of years.

There were a succession of millers, the last being W Prior, but with the advent of the First World War and damaged machinery the life of the mill came to an end in 1915.

David's roofing work hits heights

DAVID Summerville has been repairing roofs around Bognor Regis and Chichester for nearly three decades.

The benefits of that experience during the past 27 years are obvious to see.

He has worked on every style of roof imaginable.

Flat, pitched, slated and tiled are equally easily tackled in his expert hands.

From the smallest of repairs to the most comprehensive replacement, it is all in a day's work for David. That specialist knowledge is available to every one of his customers.

David can easily detect problems and devise solutions to them quickly and reliably.

Added to that is the fact he pledges to be competitive and offers a guarantee for his work.

He said: "All my customers deserve no less than my best work. I've always believed that and it is a way of working which is second nature to me.

"I'm keen to look at any roofing work and my experience will ensure I can sort out any problems."

Excellence and professionalism come as standard along with a friendly nature and the ability to turn up on time to get the job done.

And that's not always as easy as it seems when dealing with some tradesmen.

Dave, though, sets higher standards than most and it shows with his ever lengthening list of satisfied clients.

No roofing problem is too much trouble for Pagham-based David who is happy to be judged on

his previous work.

He knows that his reputation rests on each job he has completed and maintains his high standards accordingly.

This ensures Dave has a high level of customer recommendations on which he can call for potential clients to judge him on.

It can seem hard in this day and age to find a trader who offers excellent service and workmanship but there is really no need to look further than Dave whenever a roofing job arises.

No-one stays in the same business for as long as David without being good at their job.

That's an indisputable fact and David's length of time on the tiles is an advantage for anyone who wants to get a roofing matter sorted.

Murfin at double in Lions' cup win

f Bognor rugy starlets of the U14s side ahead of their season, which starts on October 2

Rio golden girl Emma is backed by pupils

by Carl Eldridge sport@sussexpost.co.uk PARALYMPIAN gold medal winner Emma Wigg, a former Bognor Regis teacher, has spoken of the amazing support she received after losing the use of her legs.

Team GB canoest Emma, 36, won the highest accolade of her sport in Rio last week. And she has recalled her time at Chichester University and the support she received following the news of her disability.

During her gap year in Australia, Emma contracted a virus that damaged her neurological system, causing paralysis in both her arms and legs. Whilst her arms regained mobility, her legs were left permanently affected.

Despite this life changing event Emma was determined to pursue her chosen career as a PE teacher and, aged 18, she was determined to take up her place at Chichester and gain her degree. She cites the sporty environment and support systems of the university as big players in

her progression towards elite sport and in securing a career in teaching. Emma studied sports science and gained a PGCE in secondary PE, and then landed a job at the Regis School, in Bognor, whose pupils cheered her success.

And she says the university played a big role in her development as an athlete. She said: "Uni was great for me.

Their support at a time when I was newly disabled was incredible and allowed me to get on the teaching path. I learnt loads about myself and such a sporty university gave me back the love I'd missed."

Emma started her career as a sitting down volleyball player and captained ParalympicsGB at London 2012, then made the transition to para-canoeing.

She said: "After London I knew I'd have to change sports if I wanted to experience world class performance sport. It is like a transfer market after a Paralympics and a number of sports were interested.

Canoeing came up and I was so impressed with the set-up that when they offered me a place I bit their hand off. It’s been a challenge to master the skills and take my body to new physical limits in the gym."

Rock-bottom Bognor in search of a victory

by Robert Henry sport@sussexpost.co.uk BOGNOR will want to escape from the basement of London 3 South West where they are firmly rooted following a 30-15 home defeat to UN Potrsmouth.

The Hamphsire Avenue outfit endured their second defeat of the campaign and now bid to notch a victory at Farham, who sit in third position in the table despite playing one game fewer than the top two of Teddington and leaders Eastleigh.

They travel to Surrey tomorrow (Saturday) following the reverse to Portsmouth and with a 52-0 walloping

by Eastleigh at home the week before.

Meanwhile, Bognor 3rd XV took a bit of a hammering when they lost 43-7 at Holbrook in Sussex Division 4 West.

But Bognor starlets are in with a chance of winning £1,000 thanks to the picture featured right. The club's

Doug Millen explained: "As the U13s we visited the Stoop at the end of last season to watch Quins play Exeter in the last home game of the season, 30 kids and 23 adults all from that age group from Bognor RFC. "We went on to do our annual awards ceremony on the pitch after the match and met some players from both sides.

"Richard Lindsey, one of our coaches, took the chance to grab a selfie with all the lads in shot. It's a great photo capturing the sentiment of the day, rugby and of the club. So we entered into a team photo competition hoping to win the prize money to support the team through the season in addition to the support we've generously received from Saxton Blades of Bognor and Lions Club Bognor Regis." Vote for the snap at www.rockface4men.co.uk *Meanwhile, new year eight and year nine, U13-U14 players are always welcome at Bognor RFC, Tuesday 6pm and Sunday 10am.

f Pagham's Shelly against Hayward Heath

Send your reports and pictures to us: sport@sussexpost.co.uk

35 minutes and the other two goals through Bradley Miles and Marco Giambelardini came in the last five minutes. They look to maintain their advantage at the top tomorrow with a trip to play Worthing Town Leisure.

Sidlesham chalked up a 3-2 victory over Cowfold at the Rec with goals from Callum Dowdell (03), John Phillips (60), and Thomas Bayley (65). Sids go to Alfold for a league encounter tomorrow.

Nyetimber Pirates’ impressive start to the season continued this weekend with both sides extending their 100 per cent record in the West Sussex Football League, writes CHARLIE WELLING. Ted Griffin’s first team

made it three wins from three overcoming rivals Newtown Villa 3-2 at Jubilee.

The Looters struck first through Michael Frangou's penalty after just two minutes when Scott Towers was tripped. Then Sean Williamson clipped Sam Dallaway giving ref Mike Neary no option and Dave Speller made it 1-1 from the spot.

An own goal by former Pirate Doug Peach made it 2-1 just after the break and then Andy Cox made it 3-1. RJ Hampton pulled one back when he bizarrely took the ball off Pirates Warren Pye and poked into an empty net.

Jamie Walters’ reserve side’s 2-0 win over Yapton Reserves sent them to the top of Division 3 south. Goals from James Gilchrist and Alex Jasper were enough to secure the win which also saw the debut of former Predator Nathan Stonelake.

Next week the first team go to Ashington Rovers in the cup whilst the reserves host West Chiltington at West Meads.

Elsewhere in the WSFL Predators, who recently folded their reserves, secured a 2-2 draw with league leaders Wisborough Green. In the Championship Newtown Villa reserves lost 7-1 to Angmering Seniors, whilst Sidlesham Reseves beat Stedham 2-0.

The Unicorn ran out 2-0 winners over Angmering at Decoy Drive in Division 2 putting them top of the table. Division 3 saw a 1-1 draw for Felpham Colts and a 2-1 win for newly promoted Elmer.

Ambassadors’ miserable start to their Division 4 campaign continued losing 3-1 to Tangmere. The Trojans beat Watersfield 4-1, whilst their reserves could only scrape a 1-1 draw with Whkye Utd Reserves.

SCOTT Murfin bagged a brace as Pagham won 3-0 at Arundel on Tuesday night in the RUR Charity Cup second round.

Striker Murfin struck on 23 minutes and two minutes later Johan Van Driel doubled the Lions' lead. Then Murfin pounced for a third just before the break.

Pagham now look to tomorrow’s FA Vase second round clash against Horsham YMCA at Nyetimber Lane. It comes after they gained ground on second-placed Haywards Heath Town with a 1-0 against them with a Jordan Clark goal last Saturday.

The Lions now sit 18 points, the same total as the high-flying visitors although Mark Bennett’s side have a game in hand.

Chichester City suffered a 4-0 reverse in the RUR Charity Cup second round at Little Common on Tuesday. It was a night to forget for Miles Rutherford and his men and they now turn their attention to a game at home against Sheppey in the FA Vase tomorrow.

It comes a week after Josh Clack, right, grabbed the only goal of the game in a 1-0 SCFL Premier Division win at Hassocks.

And the three points on the road at The Beacon for Rutherford’s outfit mean they stay in touching distance of the pack in fifth spot in the league table. Clack struck on 11 minutes to settle the affair early on.

Despite being classified as a junior and therefore required to ride on a restricted gear — the only rider in the field forced to do this — and undeterred Aaron still managed to break away and get a well deserved third place at last Saturday's event.

He then followed up his success on the Sunday with a personal best in the local Clonmore Trophy 25 mile TT, which was held on the A27.

Recording 57:10 he was frustratingly short of a 56-minute ride but still set the pace as fastest BRCC rider.

He was 15 seconds ahead of David Patten who took the veterans award for fastest rider based on age standard.

CHICHESTER City Ladies stormed back to form to blot out the memories of a frustrating draw at Southampton in midweek.

They stay top of the pile in the south west one division after a 1-1 at the Sholing ground and then notched a 7-1 win over Brislington.

Jess Lewry, ex-Southampton player, scored Chichester’s only goal on Thursday. But a late second-half strike by Krystal White salvaged a point for the Reds.

Move on a few days and Chichester entertained Brislington at Oaklands, looking to take out their frustrations and restore confidence that, took a knock a few days earlier.

Cherelle Khassal was in fine form and hit four, Jess Lewry added to the total when she scored a brace and Kally Ambler also got on the scoresheet.

The development squad won 2-1 against Ashford to get their first three points of the season, thanks to goals from Megan Oliver and Carmen Kager.

The U16s won 10-0 away to Withdean Youth with the goals coming from Grace Greenshields (1), Alex Collighan (2), LouLou Robson (2), Holly Heffron (2), and Paige Bircham (3). U14s lost 15-1 at home to Eastbourne with the only Chi goal

It was defeat also for U12s, who lost 4-1 at home to Cuckfield Cosmos.

Carlie Davey grabbed a sonsolation goal.

Meanwhile, Pagham Ladies bounced back from last week's defeat to Montpellier Villa to record their first ever win in competitive football against Worthing Town.

Mel Miller was the star of the show grabbing a hat trick in a 3-1 to give them their first three points in the Sussex County Women's and Girls football league.

The Lionesses went 1-0 up on 20 minutes as a Sam Wiseman corner

was superbly headed home by Miller before the visitors equalised.

But the home side deservedly retook the lead a few minutes when a long-range Strudwick effort was fumbled allowing Miller to tap in the net.

Then skipper Anna Guppy played in Miller for the treble, sealing a satisfying triumph.

Pagham Ladies are back in action once more when they welcome strong opposition in the shape of league leaders Oakwood to Nyetimber Lane on Sunday in a keenly anticipated encounter which kick-off at 2pm.

High five for AFC Chi JACKS suffered a 5-1 defeat at home to AFC Chichester at Avisford Park, pictured, in the Chichester Sunday League Premier Division.

Frankly, Bruno is national treasure FORMER world heavyweight champion Frank Bruno came to Pagham last week in an after dinner meet and greet, courtesy of Luv Carpets and Ockley ABC. One of Britain's most loved heroes spoke at length of his glittering career including his two fights with all time great Mike Tyson and his famous championship win over Oliver McCall.

Over 100 people, including Bruno's old sparring partner, former British champion Scot Welch, packed out The Inglenook on Pagham Road for a three-course meal followed by an evening's entertainment of a Q&A with the champ. The night was a huge hit with the locals who helped raise £3,400, half of which going to the Sussex Snowdrop Trust, the other being put towards new equipment for the boxers at Ockley ABC. After a successful amateur career, Bruno turned professional and racked up 21 straight knockouts before losing to fellow world title contender James 'Bonecrusher' Smith by knockout in the 10th round.

After regrouping with a further four wins, he captured the European heavyweight title, knocking out swede Anders Eklund in the fourth back in 1985. Just nine months later Bruno challenged Tim Witherspoon for the world heavyweight championship.

Though ahead on the scorecards, the Brit was stopped in the 11th.

He would later make two more unsuccessful attempts at the world title. The first of which, a five-round thriller with Iron Mike Tyson, ended in a stoppage loss for Bruno. Then a seventh round stoppage defeat to Lennox Lewis, in what was the first ever world heavyweight championship fight to be contested

between two Britons.

But in 1995, after three failed attempts at the title, came that memorable night at Wembley Stadium when Bruno beat Oliver McCall via a twelve rounds points decision to become heavyweight champion of the world.

He goes down as one of the biggest punchers in history with 38 knockouts of his 40 wins, a 95 per cent KO rating.

"The night was a roaring success," said Jack Keywood, owner of awardwinning floor laying specialists Luv Carpets. "The people who attended all left with huge smiles on their faces. It was so nice to see everyone enjoying themselves."

Keywood cycled to Paris on an old pushbike, dressed as Mr Incredible with a group of other superhero fundraisers, to help raise over £120,000 for The Sussex Snowdrop Trust last June. He added: "It is a charity very close to my heart, they work tirelessly to give emotional and financial help to the families of children with life-threatening illnesses.

"I'm so grateful to all the local businesses who donated the raffle prizes to help raise vital funds and make the night a huge success."

Ockley ABC head coach Faz Chitima added "We're all so happy with how it all went. Bruno was great entertainment as ever. The money we raised for the club will go a long way to supplying much needed new equipment and expenses for our dedicated boxers."

It fills me with tremendous pride seeing members of our tight-knit community pulling together to raise money for such worthy causes. Hats off to Faz, Jack and, of course, our national treasure Frank Bruno

RE BR TON MAN P , 3PM Y 4 R 2 SEP

View from the Green Army WHAT a difference 48 hours makes for Rocks fans. On Saturday Twitter was in meltdown at the FA Cup loss at Billericay with a controversial goal direct from a throw-in.

Billericay fans ridiculed the goal, Rocks fans slammed it as cheating but its certain that if this was Bognor progressing via the same means our fans would revel in it.

Fast forward to Monday and we travel home from Kingstonian buoyant after a 2-1 victory. Granger (who received a lot of flack after Billericay) pulled off some superb

saves. Jimmy Wild — who has split opinion amongst the Green Army — got a well deserved goal. His endeavour was spectacular and he'd have been MOM if it wasn't for Ollie Pearce.

Wild has tried hard but only managed one goal vs Guildford in the FA Cup. Some fans have expected to much from a raw talent who has an obvious knack of scoring in the SCFL. At Kingstonian Wild got a slice of luck after K's keeper Rob Tolfrey, who jumped into the crowd to punch a Bognor fan two seasons ago, spilled

the ball allowing him to slot home to put the Rocks 1-0 up. So we're out of the cup, but sit fourth in the league, something we'd have taken with the squad changes we've experienced.

The squad look settled. Some of the ability we've lost may have weakened us, but looking at Leicester last season, sometimes a team can out-do individuals.

We go again at home to Tonbridge Angels, doing well in the league, who destroyed us last season 5-0. Kick off 3pm at the Nye Camp.

f Fans Wild for Slade switched to Havant & Waterlooville in the summer.

Wild's goal and another from Alex Parsons gave Rocks the victory that helped consign to history a dodgy goal that threw them out of the FA Cup two days previous at Billericay Town.

The ball went in to the net directly from a Kreshnic Krasniqi throw and clearly didn’t touch a player, no, not even Edvardas Gaurilovas to whom the goal was seemingly credited, and so shouldn’t have stood. The ref

missed it. The Rocks missed out on a circa £5,000 pay day. In truth, though, Rocks were off the game yet holding on for a replay is what cup runs are all about. Next year, maybe.

Now they get the chance to build on their league victory at home tomorrow when they host Tonbridge Angels at Nyewood Lane.

And they are at home once more on Tuesday when Burgess Hill Town make the short journey to face the Rocks in a league clash.

Keep and eye on Wild, Wild, Wild!

ROCKS grandee Jack Pearce is a major suit at the FA these days and cuts a dashing figure when he is booted and suited and on official business.

Howell in for a tasty bit of Bass EXCLUSIVE

by Carl Eldridge sport@sussexpost.co.uk

Don’t get battered, Tyson!

JUST how do you prepare for a heavyweight boxing clash with snarling Russian bruiser Wladimir Klitschko? Easy as mushy peasy if you are Tyson Fury! Simply take in the sea air on a stroll along Bognor prom tucking into fish and chips (and mushy peas).

That was the sight that stunned Si Boxall when he spotted Fury and his Dad on Tuesday on the seafront. And after initially denying he was Fury, the big man posed for a picture with the Bognor boxing fan

after a chat. Boxall said: “I sat down had a chat with him and his dad both really nice geezers, me star struck like a little girl. I can't believe the heavyweight champion was in Bognor.”

Fury and Klitschko meet in their heavyweight rematch next month in Manchester after the Brit beat him in November to claim the WBA, WBO and IBF titles.

JAMIE Howell won’t turn to Pagham No.1 James Binfield if Rocks keeper Billy Granger leaves the club.

Instead, Howell will look to broker a loan deal with Pompey to lure youngster Alex Bass.

Lions ace Binfield, right, has been tipped to play at a higher level than Southern Combination Premier and there are those in the Rocks backroom set-up who believe he could hold his own in the Ryman Premier.

But Howell would prefer to go to Fratton Park to ask for Bass should Granger and Bognor part ways. The current custodian is looking to get into league football and insiders say he hasn’t settled in too well in the dressing room.
