A MAGNIFICANT DAY FOR THIS YEAR’S SEAHAVEN VETERANS AND ARMED FORCES DAY A splendid sun shone on splendid event on Saturday 27th June. This was a great relief to the members of the organising committee of the Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces Day, who had been preparing for the event for some months. It is organised by Seaford Town Council and the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George for the whole of Lewes District with surrounding towns and villages. The great weather meant that a few thousand visitors crowded into the Martello Fields at Seaford to see the parade and arena events and to visit the many stalls, including a fun fair for the youngsters. There were food outlets available for visitors and the two Seaford Rotary Clubs enhanced the refreshments available with their Tavern in a Tent, where veterans were invited to take their first drink on the house. First thing during the day, the young Mayor of Seaford visited all the veterans on parade and those who could not march to give them a special voucher for their first drink.

The day started at 11am when the Mayor of Seaford opened the event. This was immediately followed by music and song from the Rock and Jazz Orchestra which continued up until midday when the call for veterans and cadets to ‘get fell in’ was made.

Prompt at 12.30 the parade, led by drummers from the Newhaven Squadron of the Air Training Corps, marched off. They were followed by a contingent of Standards, then a company of veterans and finally the cadets from the Sea Cadet Corps and the Air Training Corps, both of which have their headquarters in Newhaven. The salute was taken by the inspecting officer, Derek Stevens DL accompanied by the Mayor of Seaford, Cllr David Argent, and President of the Seahaven branch of The Royal Society of St George, Laurie Holland. Witnessing the parade were Maria Caulfield MP, the Chair of Lewes District Council, the Mayor of Telscombe and the Deputy Mayors of Newhaven and Peacehaven.

The parade halted in the Martello Fields where after prayers led by Revd Vickie Martin from Seaford Baptist Church, there was an inspection of veterans and cadets

followed by an address from the Inspecting Officer. He said that it was a special privilege to take on this role on behalf of the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex, and how smart and impressive the parade looked. He spoke of the vital role that the Armed Forces undertake for the security of our country and the world.

Following the parade’s dismissal, events continued in the arena to entertain the large crowds. This started with the drums of the Air Training Corps giving a display of their skills then Rob Willis, who earlier had taken charge of the contingent of Standard Bearers as well as carrying the Standard of St George, changed into the uniform of a US GI for his excellent and now famous tribute to Elvis Presley. Dance and fitness was on display then with ‘Up The Tempo’, followed by Peter Gwillam who displayed some of the kit of the Seaford lifeguards and explained how they helped ensure safety in Seaford Bay. Lastly Wayne from Forces Fit got a large number of the audience active in the arena with a cut-throat tug of war competition, which proved great fun. Major Bob Peedle closed the arena proceedings with a thank you to all those who had supported the event, especially those who had taken part in the parade, in the arena and at the many stalls.

The organising committee was greatly helped to meet the up-front expenses of the day with generous grants from Lewes District Council as well as the Town Councils of Newhaven and Telscombe. Seaford Town met the costs of administration and publicity as well as providing the venue free of charge. When all income, including that from the sale of programmes is known, the committee will distribute any surplus money to the three service cadet units to help them in their vital work for the youth of the area.

The Good Neighbour Scheme The Good Neighbour Scheme plays a key role in the community, as not only does it provide practical support but also a befriending service which helps reduce isolation and loneliness and may also contribute towards some people maintaining their own independence.

Not to replace the work done by Social Services and other professional care agencies, the Good Neighbour Scheme operates on a more personal level and is delivered and supported by a group of community volunteers giving their time and offering regular and ongoing support to the frail, isolated elderly and disabled people in our community.

The Good Neighbour Scheme also creates a strong social bond in our community and contributes towards building stronger bridges in community life, often linking established residents with newcomers. The Good Neighbour Scheme offers a variety of support to clients in Seaford who may need help with some of the basics of day-to-day living. These include:

For our volunteers this gives them the opportunity build their confidence and self esteem, as well as gain experience and develop new interests. Apart from helping others, there is an opportunity for our volunteer to feel part of the community and contribute to improving the neighbourhood spirit. Our volunteers are all referenced, DBS checked and trained.

If you are interested in becoming involved in the Good Neighbour Scheme, you can become a Volunteer Co-ordinator or a Community Volunteer.

Volunteer Co-ordinator

This is the person who co-ordinates the referrals and requests to match volunteers with clients needing practical help with everyday tasks (as outlined above) or befriending support. Full training will be provided.

Community Volunteer

Our volunteers contribute to making a difference in the local community by providing support (as outlined above) to those in need of the practical help or our befriending service. Full training will be provided.

The Good Neighbour Scheme is supported by Age Concern Eastbourne. Our vision is that the groups will eventually run independently.

If you can offer a few hours a week and are interested in either of these roles, please contact Linda Warner, Community Development Project Manager, Age Concern Eastbourne.

FRIENDS OF SEAFORD The Crouch Bowling Club, Seaford, 80th LIBRARY (FOSL)

Now that the new library has been open for some months, the Committee of Friends of Seaford Library (FOSL) have felt it necessary to address the future of the Group, and to revise its planned objectives (as stated on our website).

Accordingly in late May we called an Open Meeting to discuss this subject with our members and subsequently circulated a questionnaire to the membership. We are pleased to have received a response from over 50% so far. While the Committee considers the replies we shall be continuing with a summer programme of events, including a stall at the Martello Open Day on 2nd August, and the third of our “book readings” at the Little Theatre on 15th September.

We are also hoping to arrange a book signing by one of our twin patrons, Norman Baker, our former MP and Peter James the novelist, later in the year.

For further information please check out our website at :http://www.seaford-sussex.co.uk/fosl/

Rotary Club of Seaford Car Boot, Craft and Produce Fair, 14th June

Although the weather wasn’t quite as settled as the last Boot Fair, there were over 40 pitches taken on Sunday 14th June, and there was also a steady flow of bargain hunters throughout the morning.

and tourists out to enjoy the music, the marching, and the great weather. Tavern in the Tent, jointly run at this event, by both Martello and Seaford Rotary Clubs, provided an oasis for shade, a cooling drink and a sit down to enjoy the day. The proceeds from the bar are used by the clubs to fund local charities. Both clubs support local projects, including Downs Syndrome and Special Needs Support Group, Seaford lifeguards, Seaford Museum, Seaford Seeability and many others. The money raised at the bar goes straight back to charities to help with future projects.

We thank all those who supported the bar and made it a great day.

Firle CE Primary School wins Safety in Action Award The money raised was just over £730, taking our total so far this year to over £1,600, to be donated to charities and worthy causes. Not bad when we recall that the April event had to be cancelled owing to bad weather! We look forward to seeing you at the August Fair which will be on Sunday 9 August, Martello Fields, Seaford.

On Friday 26th June at 10.15am a gathering of outsiders began to congregate in the School playground.

First there were three members of the Rotary Club of Seaford, then came three Police Officers. School staff appeared, including the Head Teacher, and then the students of the school took their places. Finally all eleven year 6 students took their rightful place of honour.

The reason for all this? A few weeks ago in May the year 6 students of the small school had not only beaten all comers to win the trophy for achievement within the Lewes Area, showing their learning and understanding about Safety, but they had scored a record 199 points out of a possible 200!

Photographs were taken while President Ray Hazan presented the trophy to the students (as well as a cheque for £275) helped by Rotarian Paul Vaesen. The Police Officers congratulated the students, explained what a remarkable feat they had achieved, and presented each of them with a sturdy torch. The two class teachers sat with their charges and cheered them.

Head Teacher Annie Noble was very impressed with her children, and really rather excited!

RARE OR UNUSUAL VEGETABLES FOR THE TABLE

Mooli (Raphanus Sativus)

Mooli is a form of giant radish and is also known as Daikon. It is a popular root vegetable in many Asian nations particularly Thailand , India and Korea.

It can be eaten raw in salads or cooked in soups or stir-fries. Although it is a form of radish, it grows to a length of ten inches below ground. It has a faint peppery taste and is pure white in colour.

Because of its mild flavour it can be cut into strips for children’s lunch boxes. Sow seed thinly half an inch deep from May to early August. Prefers rich well drained fertile soil. Thin out to four inches apart. Harvest from September onwards. Earth up to avoid green tops as you would carrots. Seed is available from T& M (Neptune F1 hybrid) and Suttons (James Wong Range).

to d o

ardeners use the word ‘compost’ to describe any special mixture that is used for sowing seed or potting on plants. It also refers to well rotted, friable and fertile material that they derive from their own heaps of decomposed garden refuse. Over the last 60+ years the John Innes Institute lead the way in researching ways to both sterilise soil and incorporate special formulae to assist the reliability of seed and plant growth. We now have at our disposal a complete range of John Innes Composts: John Innes Seed Compost is a traditional mix for sowing seed and rooting cuttings.

It contains sufficient nutrient for early growth. Potting no.1 is for pricking out or potting on young plants. No. 2 contains double the nutrients of no.1 and is used for house-plants and vegetables in medium size pots. No. 3 is a rich mixture for final re-potting and for mature

plants in planters or containers. Finally there is John Innes Ericaceous Compost which is a sterilised loam based, lime free compost for rhododendrons, azaleas, heathers etc. This complete range of composts has been tried and tested for many years. You should get excellent results, providing you select the appropriate one to use. Mike Parker (Society President)

Seaford Gardening Club I hope everyone has enjoyed the summer weather of the past few weeks – long may it last, though it does mean watering the garden more often and digging out the weeds which seem to spring up overnight! Oh, the joys and pleasures of gardening!

Our speaker for the June meeting, Kevin Gordon, gave a very good talk entitled ‘Seaford in Old Pictures – Part 2’.

Some of the older photos of the area were taken by his grandmother – even one of her in the farm sheep dip!

We saw photos of the Coastguard cottages at Exceat, which are not listed buildings, and due to erosion of the cliffs are now very near to the cliff edge. There was an idea of moving them back inland (similar to the Belle Tout lighthouse project carried out some years ago), but they remain where they are for now. The Cuckmere Inn (formerly The Golden Galleon – why did they change the name?) is nearby and is a lovely spot to enjoy a drink or meal, taking in the view over the Cuckmere valley.

Splash Point Hotel is now long gone with a few ruins remaining to remind us of its existence.

There were photos of the damage caused in the area by the storms of 1951. We had a reminder of the might of the sea a while ago when fierce waves and winds uncovered the ‘new’ beach created just before the hurricane in 1987 – it brought back many memories.

Lorry loads of shingle had to be shipped in to build the beach up again!

How many of you remember the Ritz Cinema? It was very posh when built but eventually became tiredlooking and shabby. Subsequently a Safeways store was built on the site which is now Morrisons! In November

2014 Lloyds bank celebrated 100 years’ in the town and they gave Kevin a book on its history. While Kevin’s wife, Mandy, was browsing through the pages she found a photo of her father – quite a coincidence!

Several pubs and shops have changed names over the years. The Old Tree Hotel, now the Mobility shop site, pulled its last pint in 1964; the Tuck Inn was formerly the Polar Bear and the Hole in the Wall will soon become houses. Some changes for the better and others not to our liking! The railway station has altered over the last 100 years (what fun to see the steam train come in last year). We saw a good display of photos of former staff in the old Waiting Room. The military presence in town during the wars was also well represented – too many snippets of memories to write about them! We all enjoyed our evening remembering Seaford in the past.

The club does not meet in August so a new programme and renewal of membership will be at the September meeting. Information on club activities can be obtained by phoning Anne Silk on 01323 491331 or by visiting the website www. seaford-sussex.co.uk/sgc.

Part of Seaford Community Garden’s purpose is to educate, so we were delighted to be visited by a Year 2 class from Chyngton Primary School towards the end of the last summer term. The enthusiastic and impeccably well-behaved youngsters were given the guided tour by Chairman Dave who, commenting on the group of mainly 7-year-olds’ horticultural knowledge, said in amazement afterwards: “One girl knew the name of every plant that I pointed out and when I asked her how she knew so much said that she worked in the school garden.” We would love to host more school groups so, teachers, please get in touch via our website at www. seaford-sussex.co.uk/scg. Speaking of which, Volunteer Viv has turned web wizard and is now working with technical guru Mick Barrett to make our germinating site come into full flower, so please take a look.

In fact more and more of you are finding us now, and that is thanks not only to Fran on Seaford Scene who is so generous with her space, but to people like Kevin Gordon who includes us on his famed history tours when he talks about the Crouch and its picturesque ruined walls. Indeed, so many of you now come in to see what we are up to on Wednesday

mornings, and on Saturdays up till noon during the summer, that we could do with a traffic light system on the paths – only joking; the more the even merrier.

We were particularly delighted to welcome a group of young men who willingly, and with evident enjoyment, set to with spades and forks to dig over one of the soft fruit beds the other week. Thanks lads!

It was also good to see Veronica who damaged her knee in a car accident. There’s a trowel with your name on it, Veronica!

At the time of writing we were getting very excited about the forthcoming Macmillan Trail to be visited

by BBC gardener Christine Walkden. Christine was launching the Trail at Driftwood, Geoff Stonebanks’ famed Bishopstone garden, then scheduled to indulge her personal interest in community gardens with a visit to us. To make the day even more special, Seaford’s new roving singing group the Pop-Ups – you may have heard them at Frankie’s kiosk on the seafront – were programmed for a song or three.

But to end where we began, with education: welcome to Jan’s pals at the Seaford branch of Growing Old Disgracefully, a network for older women. Tricia entertained the group in our classroom with a talk on growing and using herbs. For once our male volunteers were banned. Oh, if only walls had ears…

The Garden Team Photos top to bottom: Year 2 pupils at Chyngton School get familiar with beetroot; the scarlet arching flowers of Crocosmia Lucifer brighten the summer garden; Veg for sale – picked only minutes before this photo was taken and on sale at the Community Garden; only in it’s second year, the stopover apple is proving fruitful, where to find Seaford Community Garden.

Seaford and Bishopstone Neighbourhood Watch Association ‘Promoting Good Citizenship, Neighbourliness and Crime Reduction.’

Newsletter Summer 2015

Welcome to our Summer 2015 Newsletter, which we hope you will find useful and informative Police Report

Our emphasis over the summer is education in terms of fraud, especially that which targets vulnerable victims, such as telephone frauds, which includes computer fraud, bank card fraud and courier fraud.

It all hinges on treating with suspicion any telephone call or email which prompts you to give you bank details. Never give them over the phone and if in any doubt about the genuineness of any call allegedly from your bank, visit your local branch. The elderly are also vulnerable to cold callers touting for work, especially gardening, though driveway cleaning has been a problem in the past.

We are also concentrating on the Summer burglary warnings including advice such as: • If you leave a room unattended close the windows and doors, especially on the ground floor.

• If you leave your house empty, even to go in to the back garden close all doors and windows and make sure fanlight windows are closed.

• Keep all wallets, purses, credit cards and keys out of sight.

• If you want to leave a window open while you are asleep have window restrictors fitted to prevent anyone from climbing in.

• Double check fences and boundaries to keep burglars out.

• Secure garden tools and ladders in a locked shed to prevent them being used to break into your or your neighbour’s home.

• Consider laying down gravel on your path or driveway to prevent burglars even approaching your property.

• Fit outside security lighting and a visible burglar alarm to deter burglars.

Local Crime Update

There have several reported thefts of handbags and other items left in cars at Tidemills car park. The advice when leaving your car parked anywhere, even on your driveway is to, always lock your car. Put handbags, wallets and other items of interest to potential thieves out of sight, the best place is in the boot and get a car alarm fitted.

Police in Seaford are appealing to residents for information following the theft of a large garden ornament from the front garden of a house in Walmer Road. The concrete donkey with a flower basket is described at being a meter high and was taken between 9pm on 2/7/15 and 6-30am on 3/7/15.

A police spokesman said, “It is possible that this theft started off as a prank and that the donkey has been moved to near from where it was stolen. Anybody that has seen it or knows of its location is asked to contact police.”

Future Events in Seaford

Please come along to The Donkey Derby, being held on Monday 31st August in the Martello Fields. Seaford and Bishopstone Neighbourhood Watch will have a stall there, so if you attend you will be able to meet some of the Committee Members.

Other events in the Martello Fields include Scout Boot Fair on 13th September 7.30-1pm Rotary Club Boot Fair on 9th August and 6th September 9-1pm.

Facebook Page

Just a reminder that we have a Facebook page, which is used to inform local residents of any current issues, local events or any crimes the police inform us of. It also covers any scams that are being used, by phone, email or cold calling. Remember Seaford and Bishopstone is a no cold calling zone and if you come into contact with an uninvited trader you

Seahaven Lioness Club welcomes new president Long term Seahaven Lioness, Pat White, is the club’s new president following the annual ‘changeover lunch’ on Sunday 5th July.

Pat, who joined the Seahaven Lioness Club shortly after its formation in 1992 and first served as president 10 years ago, picked up the reins from Brenda Gomersall at the end of her second stint as president.

Held at Seaford Head Golf Club, the changeover lunch was attended by club members, their guests and members of the Newhaven, Seaford and Peacehaven (NP&S) Lions Club. Brenda, whose husband Trevor is currently president of the NP&S Lions Club, has now taken over as treasurer of the Seahaven Lioness Club.

“The Seahaven Lioness Club is a great way to fundraise for local charities and those further afield and to make friends. We currently have 17 members and would warmly welcome more,” said Pat who has lived in Seaford for 30 years.

Members organise events throughout the year, including monthly coffee mornings at Peacehaven’s Meridian Centre, bric-a-brac sales in Broad Street, Seaford, barn dances and quizzes, as well as supporting NP&S Lions Club events, such as the Seaford and Peacehaven donkey derbies, and international appeals.

They raise around £7,000 a year and are currently selling tickets for their annual Afternoon Tea at Seaford Golf Club, Firle Road, Seaford, on Tuesday 18th August in aid of the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance and Lioness charities. Tickets, costing £8.50 each, are available from Newbury Tully Estate Agents, Church Street, Seaford, and Maggie Chitty, tel.

01323 891750, or email lionesses@npslions.co.uk The club meets on the second Tuesday of every month at The Old Plough, Church Street, Seaford, at 7.30pm.

Contact Pat White on 01323 894085 for more information.

Age Concern Seaford Age Concern Seaford is a long standing, independent, self-supporting, service provider and a Registered Charity, We have existed in Seaford for many years and currently have a shop and office at 6 Church Street, where it carries out its work of information & support to older people living within the BN25 postal area.

The shop is staffed by a group of volunteers and a Coordinator who runs the office and manages the services which are available through the charity. The office is open Monday to Friday, 10am - 2pm and the shop is open Monday to Saturday, 10am - 2pm.

The aims of Age Concern Seaford is to give information and support to older people in our town, which in turn can help to improve quality of life. We work with other statutory and voluntary organisations to raise awareness of the needs of older people within society.

Any older person living in the town who has a query can either phone the office, where a message can be left, or can call in to chat to staff who are more than happy to try and help.

The services available through the Charity via the office are varied. Contact time is an arrangement whereby a weekly phone call is offered from a member of the volunteer team to clients who are lonely, isolated or housebound. The Visiting & Befriending service is for those who would appreciate a visit by a volunteer for a

chat once a week. This service is based on volunteer availability!

These calls & visits are much appreciated by people who may sometimes not see another person from one day to the next.

Another service offered is the medical transport service – for a charge clients are transported to and from hospitals & clinics in Eastbourne, Brighton and Lewes areas by private car driven by a volunteer.

Some older people who may qualify for Attendance Allowance find the rather complex form difficult to fill in correctly – Age Concern offers volunteers who help to complete this with the client, quite often this can take several hours.

On the third Sunday of every month a lunch is held for older people – this enables them to get together & chat, the enjoyment on their faces is evident. A booking to attend is required for the lunch, which is held at the 60+ Club at The Downs Leisure Complex.

An afternoon Tea Club is due to be started on Sunday 2nd August and will continue on the 1st Sunday of every month. A booking to attend is required by calling the office as numbers are limited.

The 60+ Club is also part of Age Concern Seaford. They have around 200 members who enjoy and participate in a variety of activities throughout the week. These activities vary from table tennis, Scrabble, art, snooker, bridge and a weekly Wednesday lunch, outings are arranged from time to time. Information is available on 01323 896422 The proceeds from our charity shop, which sells a variety of donated goods, help to support all our services and work. Donations for the shop are welcome, however clothes, electrical goods & videos are not accepted.

Age Concern Seaford would like to recruit more volunteers for its work and anyone interested in helping older people in some way or working in the shop for a couple of hours per week are welcome to contact the office in Church Street or telephoning 01323 899434.

Mockford’s the Blindmakers Specialists in quality handmade vertical and roller blinds

The Industrial estate, GREEN STREET, EASTBOURNE, BN21 1QN OPEN 9.15am TO 1PM Tues TO SAT. Closed Sun & Mon. Telephone: 01323 417518 So many of Jean and Harvey Mockford’s Seaford customers recommend them or place new orders, that they do not need to advertise, however many are unaware that the ten year lease on the shop in Sutton Road has expired. As their customers in Seaford are too numerous to contact individually, this notice their address and telephone number will appear in the Seaford Scene each month. Nothing else has changed, they still regard themselves as Seaford’s Blindmakers albeit based 15 minutes away in Eastbourne, where their headquarters have been for more than a quarter of a century.

To telephone for after-sales service, or to arrange for Jean to call to estimate for new blinds (that are guaranteed for 20 years) or if you wish to visit the showroom... take the 259 from Seaford, on approaching Eastbourne go straight ahead at the first set of traffic lights, then by the Tally Ho pub turn left into Green Street and the industrial estate is up a driveway on the left, opposite the first bus shelter.

A customer’s comment was: ‘Until we had our awning, we rarely sat out on our patio as it was too hot or too cold. Now we can enjoy a meal or a drink with friends or just by ourselves in the shade.

What do you most enjoy about your role? Each day is different.

How do you relax? Sit down in the evening once the kids are in bed and watch a good film.

What is the most important lesson life has taught you? Treat people as you would want to be treated.

What is your favourite journey? The panoramic vista as you descend into Seaford from High & Over.

How would you spend a million pounds? Buy a holiday home in France and a split screen VW camper van!

What keeps you awake at night? Seagulls!

What is your greatest extravagance? My Boatbox – it’s a roof box and a boat in one!

What is your favourite smell? Lavender What is the best advice you have ever been given? My Dad encouraging me to buy a flat in Brighton in the midnineties rather than rent.

Concentus Sings in Summer

St Leonard’s Church, Saturday 13th June Concentus gave a real cracker of a concert to a very appreciative audience on 13th June, singing a nicely balanced programme, with a good mix of pieces for full choir, choir plus soloist, groups, duets and solos, all accompanied by a versatile group of musicians.

We were entertained with music celebrating Hollywood in several medleys, such as ‘The Music of MGM’ and ‘Hooray for Hollywood’. Nostalgic music from the 1920s had us tapping our toes and humming along to ‘The Charleston’, ‘I Want to be Happy’, and to tenors and basses singing ‘Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue’, to mention just a few of the songs.

‘Miss Saigon’ wooed us with some haunting, thoughtprovoking melodies, leading us on a roller-coaster of emotions, from feeling the steaming heat of Vietnam, the anguish and rage engendered by the treatment of the ‘dust of earth’ children born during that time, to the tenderly passionate love story which runs throughout the show, all given extra expression by the excellent ‘shading’ and ‘colour’ this Choir puts into their singing.

Amongst the other 14 items on the programme, we heard a very funny, well-delivered solo in a re-writing of Julie Andrews ‘My Favourite Things’, and a beautifully sung rendition of Puccini’s ‘Flower Duet’. Adrian White, Musical Director, showed us his vocal talents, singing as part of a small group in the humorous ‘Under the Sea’, from Disney’s ‘Little mermaid’.

A selection from ‘Evita’ surprised and delighted those of us who were not familiar with the songs, and culminated in the exhilarating ‘Don’t Cry for me Argentina’. Popular pieces from Bizet’s opera ‘Carmen’ built up to the tempestuous ‘March of the Toreadors’, and songs from ‘Sister Act’ gave the singers another opportunity to demonstrate the full power and range of this large Choir. This was the final item on the programme, and sent the audience off home with a decided bounce in their steps, and smiles on their faces, having obviously enjoyed the concert – joining in with clapping when invited to do so, and calling for encores at the end.

The musicians filled their roles with sensitivity, never overshadowing the singing. John Ross, who accompanies the choir at rehearsals, played keyboard, and the percussion was provided by Darrell Morris, from Seaford, with Keith Goddard on bass guitar.

Concentus has supported the charity the JPK Project since the choir was formed nearly ten years ago, raising over £24,000 for them, and Jill Parker, who set the charity up, gave us a brief insight into the work of the Project – to build a Supported Living Centre for learning disabled young adults from Sussex. Jill was awarded the MBE in this year’s Birthday Honours for her contribution to the community over 35 years.

I have been impressed with many aspects of this Choir – their elegant appearance, their ‘performance discipline’, and of course by the quality of their singing – since I first heard them in concert in 2010, and each concert sees them adding more polish and expertise to their repertoire, bearing and performance. Their professionalism holds throughout the concerts, allowing their audiences to relax in the knowledge that they are in the hands of a well-rehearsed choir, who will give them great entertainment delivered with real enjoyment by the choir members.

Concentus’ next concert in Seaford is on Saturday 12th December at 4pm, and if you would like to be part of the fun of it, contact Evelyn on 01323 643358 to find out more. Members come from Seaford (car sharing available), Eastbourne and surrounding areas.

And you don’t need to read music to join this friendly choir!

Barbecued Fruit Grilling or barbecuing fruit is a lovely way to bring out its natural sweetness.You can use your own favourite fruits: mango, apricots and bananas also work well.

Serves 6

Ingredients For the fruit kebabs 1 pineapple, 4 peaches or nectarines, small punnet of strawberries, vegetable oil For the sauce A large knob of butter, zest from half an orange and juice from one whole orange, 3 tbsp runny honey, 2 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick

Method

Stand the pineapple on its flat base, and use a knife to trim down the sides, cutting off all the skin. Cut out any remaining woody bits. Cut into quarters lengthways then carefully cut off and discard the core from each quarter.

This leaves the lovely sweet flesh. Chop the pineapple

into nice chunks. Halve the peaches or nectarines and discard the stones, then cut into large chunks. Pick the leaves off the strawberries and leave whole.

To make the sauce Melt the knob of butter in a pan over a medium heat. Finely chop half the orange zest, add it to the pan, then add the juice. Add the honey, cloves and cinnamon stick.

Warm through for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove the cloves and cinnamon stick.

To cook the fruit, rub the bars of a clean grill, barbecue or griddle pan with a little vegetable oil. Make sure it’s really hot. Lightly drop the fruit chunks on to the bars and let them cook for a few minutes. Different fruits cook at different speeds so keep lifting the pieces with tongs and checking underneath . When the fruit is soft, remove it from the heat. A little charring is fine and characteristic of barbecued food.

To Serve

Transfer all the cooked fruit to a bowl and pour the warm syrup over. Toss everything together until nicely coated. Divide the fruit between six plates. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream or natural yoghurt.

Enjoy!

Seaford Kurlers Hi readers. Right now the weather is very hot and humid, though when you read this in August it may be very different. Hopefully it will have rained gently for a while on our gardens. It will also be school holidays, so hopefully the weather will be kind to those on holiday.

Seaford Kurlers are as active as ever, though a little quieter in the holiday time.

Our in-house annual competition for June, 2015, was a singles competition this year. The winner for 2015/2016 is Joyce Lane and the runner up is Gerald McInally. Congratulations to both of them. We will have demonstrated the sport of New Age Kurling on Seaford Family Fun Day at the Downs Leisure Centre in July, 2015.

On July 9th a group of Kurlers went to Merriments gardens – it was a good day out. Lots to see, lots of ideas. ESDA coaching services transported us all there.

Their coaches are all adapted to take members with any mobility problems.

In August Seaford Kurlers will again assist Wave Leisure with their annual ParaGames event. We will help in general and do some refereering. There aren’t any losers, just lots of fun for all. The competitors will take part in a series of sports including ours. The event will be advertised. Please come along and see the fun.

Sadly, I have some sad news about one of our longest serving members. Win Day joined our club almost from the start. She was a very good player and used to always take part in any competitions that we entered. She was always ready for a laugh and was quite mischievous. She became ill about 2/3 years ago. She fell victim to cancer and sadly lost a hard fought battle on Thursday 25th June, 2015. She spent the last few weeks in the Martlets

MARTELLO ROTARY CLUB SEaford

Rotarian of the Year and a New President

Club members had cast their votes, and in early June the winner was announced; Linda Young was the Rotarian of the Year! Outgoing President Dave Winsor presented her with the silver salver, engraved with her name alongside previous holders of the award.

The month of June is always a busy time in the Rotary calendar, as a new leader takes office and begins his or her year; and so it was that Mandy Davis took the helm and was duly installed as the new President. She then invited Jackie Arkwell to join her and installed her as President – Elect. Mandy said,

“I am very proud to be leading such a committed and skilful group of people.

I have lived in Seaford for most of my life. I went to school here and my children are currently at school here, so it gives me real pleasure to be able to work with Martello Rotary to put something back into my community. The people of Seaford are amazingly generous and supportive, and so I am hopeful that we will have a successful year raising money for very deserving local causes. We would really welcome new members so that we can do even more in the future.

We have a lot of fun and an excellent social calendar.

We are not at all like the common image of Rotarians and welcome members of all ages, backgrounds and interests.”

CROQUET & SKITTLES

June was also a busy month for sporting events, and the Club took part in a game of Croquet against the Rotary Club of Seaford at the Saffrons in Eastbourne, and also took part in the annual skittles tournament organised by the Rotary Club of Lewes at Southover Grange gardens in Lewes.

The Martello B team got through to the finals held on the Saturday evening, and put up a brilliant performance, but sadly did not return home with a trophy. Everyone had a good time, and as usual many hot dogs were eaten and pints of beer drunk so it wasn’t all bad!

TAVERN IN THE TENT – FIRST OUTING OF THE YEAR

Late June saw the first event in the year for the Tavern in the Tent – The Armed Forces Day at the Martello Fields.

We were blessed with a fabulous hot sunny day and this meant we had no shortage of customers for our wares.

This event was a joint venture with The Rotary Club of Seaford, who provided willing volunteers to man the bar and raise funds for deserving local causes. The Tavern will

be appearing again at the Bishopstone Fête on Saturday 1st August and then on the following day at the Fundraising Day at the Martello Tower, so we look forward to seeing you there.

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN AND SEAFORD LIONS CLUB On 13th June I was invited to a performance of the Seaford Musical Theatre Junior Section. We (my wife and I) were entertained to a very enjoyable evening of musical entertainment and I was able to make a cheque presentation (photo right) which will enable the group to purchase instruments and tuition for the young people involved. The picture shows the cast receiving their cheque.

We had a wonderful dinner meeting at the Moorings, Pevensey Bay. This is the first time we have strayed out of our area for our dinner meeting and we will probably do it again.

June is the end of the Lion’s year and so it is all change.

Sunday 5th July was our changeover meal and the start of

a new Lions year. We had a lunch at Seaford Head Golf Club with the Lionesses, who also change their president.

During the last year the Club, with all your support, has raised about £20,000. Much of this has been returned to the Community, mainly in grants to the elderly and the youth. We have supported various Scout and Guide Groups and Sports Clubs. We also run two minibuses which Community Groups can borrow.

Lifeboat Fête Newhaven

This was held last Saturday 4th July on the riverside and we had a glorious day. We raised over £200, which will all go to the Newhaven Lifeboat. Well done everyone involved.

Seaford Donkey Derby

Bank Holiday Monday 31st August 2015. Programmes will be sold around the houses during August. Please give generously as this is one of our major fund-raising events and without the funds we will not be able to serve the community. The day is one of enjoyment with all the fun of the fair, stalls and of course donkey races with a tote.

Come and have fun. Events start at about midday with the first race at 1pm. Last year unfortunately the event was cancelled because we could not find the boats in time to change the Donkey Races to Boat Races – didn’t it rain? We would like to thank you all for your support last year and hope that you will support us again this year, and that the weather is kinder to us all and we have a wonderful day.

If you are interested in the Lions and the work we do give us a call on 0845 833 5981 or look at our website www.npslions.co.uk We also have two minibuses for use by the community and take out various groups with or without a driver, i.e. if you want to provide your own driver you can do so (subject to insurance) call 01323 898961 for more information about the minibuses.

Running Commentary...

If anyone has the Beachy Head Marathon in their sights for October, some of the events listed on the Sussex Races website could play a vital part in the build-up for it.

Whether or not training for the Marathon has gone well, it would be very beneficial to have a short but intensive spell of running during August.

With that in mind, I’d like to suggest four races and four training runs in 10 days towards the end of the month, beginning on Sunday 23rd with The Henfield Half Marathon, which is well-organised, and essentially a flat race in the Adur Valley. The route uses a good stretch of a disused railway, as well as 2 or 3 miles of the river path in the second half of the race. Try running it with a ‘training run’ mindset then let the next day be a rest day or an opportunity for a spot of cycling.

Tuesday would be an easy-pace 6-mile training run, followed by a slightly faster 10 miles on the Wednesday and an easy-pace 6 miles on Thursday. Rest on the Friday to be fresh and ready for the Alfriston Water Meadows 5.3km Fun Run which is a flat, scenic race along the Cuckmere Valley on Saturday the 29th. On Sunday the

30th there is the Newick 10km event. This is quite a tough race but very popular with runners throughout Sussex. For your fourth race there is the Kings Head Canter 5km on Monday the 31st. This race starts at Chiddingly and finishes just a few paces from the front door of the Kings Head Pub in East Hoathly, where you can exchange your race number for a pint of something. The next day I suggest a relaxing, easy-pace 10-mile warm-down run to finish your intensive spell of running. In total this ten days of running four races, four training runs and having two rest days and, if your pre-race warming up preparation and winding down after each run is included, would exceed 60 miles, after which you could return to your usual pattern of training, then try a similar burst of effort in September before properly winding down in October towards the Beachy Head Marathon race day, feeling fresh-legged and confident. This idea can also be applied to building up to shorter races or just looking for ways to add some sparkle to your general training too, though the mileage doesn’t need to be as high as 60.

Running in August usually requires extra planning to cope with probable high temperatures and trying to avoid dehydration. Apart from the obvious need to carry a runners’ water bottle, preferably in a runners’ belt, there are a few more strategies that are worth trying out. Wearing sunglasses can persuade the eyes to tell the brain that it’s not as hot as you think, thereby cutting down stress levels that can affect your running.

Soak a baseball cap, preferably one with a neck flap (a la Lawrence of Arabia) in water just before you set off. This should delay the point in your running when you might begin to overheat. Plan routes that offer some shade or run later in the evening when temperatures may be lower.

If you are holidaying in August don’t let that stop you running. Take your trainers with you and experience the thrill of running through unknown countryside or along unexplored beach fronts.

SEAFORD GOLF CLUB CORONATION FOURSOMES The Peugeot Ladies’ Golf Union Coronation Foursomes is the LGU’s leading event for club golfers in Great Britain & Ireland. Established in 1953, to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the event has become increasingly popular in clubs where the winners may qualify for one of sixteen Area Finals.

The competition is open to all members of affiliated golf clubs who hold a CONGU handicap.

This competition was played at Seaford Golf Club (Blatchington) on Tuesday 9th June on a very windy, cold day. However, all competitors entered into the spirit of the game and most were wearing a combination of red, white and blue clothing with the addition of Union Jacks flying from trolleys and Golf Buggies. A bottle of wine was awarded to Margarett Stally, who was judged to be the player with the most imaginative outfit.

The competition was followed by a lunch of Coronation Chicken and salad and the tables festively laid with white tablecloths and decorated with Union Jack flags and serviettes.

Seaford Striders

Summer Solstice Run

On a warm and balmy summer’s evening the Seaford Striders turned out in force, to celebrate the summer solstice. The 5k run started from the Sailing Club, ran along the seafront to a mid-point between the Martello Tower and Splash Point, before returning back to the starting point.

The junior members of the club joined their senior counterparts and in many cases beat them, to the delight of the supporting crowd of family and friends.

The Striders would like to extend their thanks to the Sailing Club Commodore for his hospitality, thereby ensuring we were able to enjoy a drink in the clubhouse after the race. There were 33 runners in all, and it was good to see so many juniors running; an encouraging sign for the future.

Seaford Sea Angler

Feathers, Lures, Rods, Reels, Bait plus accessories Mon, Tues, Thurs: 10am - 5pm Weds: 10am - 2pm Fri & Sat: 10am - 6pm Sun: 10am - 1pm 2 Blatchington Road, Seaford Tel 07856 304843 82

If you are interested in running in Seaford as either a junior or senior then please check out the website for meeting times and venues. http://www. seafordstriders.org.uk/ Photos: first male junior, Joe Rickard, who was 7th overall and the first female junior, Madeline Quinn, who was 23rd overall, just beating her younger brother, Harry.

Walking Football – the latest craze to hit the football world Walking football, a slowed-down version of the beautiful game, was invented just six years ago and already there are 225 registered clubs all over the country.

Designed as a way of tackling both inactivity and social isolation among older men, this new version of the sport has taken Sussex by storm. Age UK East Sussex is proud to be holding the first ever Walking Football tournament in Eastbourne at its Summer Fayre on Sunday 5th July at Western Lawns, opposite The Grand Hotel, on Eastbourne seafront.

Kicking off at 12pm, clubs from Bexhill, Eastbourne, Seaford and Worthing will battle it out to be crowned champions. Come along, give them your support and be amazed at their skills playing football without running, slide tackles or goalkeepers!

For your chance to win a champagne reception at the Age UK Summer Fayre, like us on Facebook at Age UK East Sussex.

GARDEN PARTY, BEST EVER, £5,000 RAISED! The Tenth Annual Charity Garden Party on June 28th hosted by Mr and Mrs Logan, 31 Sutton Avenue Seaford, raised the staggering sum of £5,000 to be divided between local charities. The event proved more popular than ever with local people and with visitors travelling from as far as Bucks, Oxford, Isle of Wight and Bonnisstead. .It was a lovely day, sunny weather, and the atmosphere was great. The attendance of the Jazz and Rock Orchestra added a new colourful dimension to the occasion – people were foot tapping and singing along.

A huge thank you to them. In contrast, in the afternoon The Seaford Silver Band played their repertoire of popular music.

Thanks must go to everybody who supported this event on the day and to the people within the community who gave so generously of their time and donated prizes.

AN ISLAND’S HIDDEN JEWEL – JUST BOWLING ALONG Denton Island Indoor Bowls Club is in the throes of a huge makeover under a new Board of Directors but aiming to restore all the old values of a glorious game.

Indoor bowls is obviously a derivative of the outdoor variety, but a very different game according to pundits who follow both codes. For a start it can be played all the year round no matter what the weather - and a membership of 500-plus shows how popular it is locally.

There’s no doubt about it...Bowls has the image of being “An Old Man’s Game.” and it cannot be denied that it attracts many from, shall we say, the more mature agegroup. Yet among Denton’s most recent recruits are a young man of 34 and a young lady of 18 years of age.

The ambition is to see a completely mixed set of ages on the rink at the same time but the values adhered to will always be friendship and old-fashioned fun.

From time to time, new people pop in to this somewhat bland mammoth of a venue for one reason or another – having surprised themselves by actually finding something so imposing, tucked away in a corner on Denton Island just over the one-way bridge, past Fludes Carpets on Newhaven’s North Way. They often gasp with wonder at what they see inside.Six beautiful emerald green, floodlit bowling rinks, joined onto a huge relaxation area, separated from an attractive dining room-cum-restaurant, a well-stocked licensed bar and a compact dance-floor where social events take place on a regular basis.

Catering for all tastes, there are attractions such as Race Nights, Fish-and-Chips Bingo, Line-dancing, Party Nights, Casino Nights, Cabaret and Darts for the socialites (you can become a purely social member for a reduced fee), Mah Jong and Bridge for those who like to think things through. The club premises are also available for private hire, weddings, office parties etc.

If you are interested, two Open Days (from 10am to 3pm) are planned on the weekend of Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September. And you can meet some of the club’s members on their stand at the Leisure Exhibition taking place at Seaford’s Downs Leisure Centre on

88

Tuesday 27th October. Come and see. Meet friendly Pam and Traci on reception at Denton Island Reception.

Ring them first on 01273 514664 if you and some friends want to visit and try your hand at the game.

There is something going on virtually every day and evening of the week.

The two girls have helped stabilize the club in a frantic period of chage-over along with six new directors, Chairman Len, Company Secretary and Financial Director Liz, Premises and Building Director Kim, Membership Director Bill D., Sponsorship and Communications Director Bill P and Dick, our co-opted “hand” who appears to cover virtually everything else – aided by a small army of volunteer members. They all bowl a bit, too! New licensed bar-managers Graham and Carol have just come in to put their name across the top of the front door and we have a new lady Head Chef about to come on board.

When Founder Member Brian Stow, a local businessman with expertise in finance, put together a consortium to start the club in 1997 after a six-year search for an appropriate building he may never have envisaged the spectacular progress that has now been made.

There have been ups and downs along the way since Brian beat off competition from, among others, a British supermarket chain and a French Chamber of Commerce group from Dieppe to earn the award of the Council-owned lease along with a £350,000 National Lottery grant to turn a former electronics warehouse into what it is today. That money has long been spent plus much more besides to make this one of the most attractive amateur sports venues in the county.

And you can be part of it: you can learn how to play, just the basics or right up to national championship class with our qualified coaches. You can take part in friendly drives and leagues or, with a little experience, represent the club against opponents from around the the southeast. You can also just book a rink to play among friends.

The main thing is to come in and make friends, take on a new skill and have a great time.

THE

HOUSE Because change begins with you...

COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

Do you feel overwhelmed by life?

‘The House’ is a counselling and psychotherapy centre, in the heart of Seaford, offering talking therapies with therapists trained to work with a variety of issues. ‘The House’ is a place where positive change can be realised in a safe and supportive space where intimate and personal feelings and issues can be discussed in confidence.

Our therapies include...

INDIVIDUAL ADULT THERAPY

YOUNG PERSON’S COUNSELLING

COUPLE’S COUNSELLING

Individual Talking Therapy is based on the relationship between an individual and a psychotherapist or counsellor.

Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who’s objective, neutral and non-judgemental. You will work together to identify and change the thoughts and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best.

Adolescents today can struggle to cope with the stresses of modern life; pressures at school, family dynamics and peer pressure. Teenagers preparing for adulthood in an ever-complex world, may feel that no one can understand their feelings, especially parents and teachers. This can lead to anger and being confused about their changing identity.

Counselling can give clarity to young people helping them to overcome their problems.

Having someone alongside us in whom we can trust and depend, enriches our lives.

When things go wrong we can end up feeling neglected, rejected or even abandoned by those we hold dearest.

Whether working through a break up or resolving relationship issues; ‘The House’ offers clients a safe and respectful environment where, through mediation with a trained therapist, you can find a way forward.

Call, email or check out our website and start to change your life...

What? Wear? When?

by Chrissy Smith

The way we appear to ourselves, as well as others, is very important to us. Most women, at some point in their lives, have felt their self-confidence dip. As women we are constantly changing – pregnancy, getting older, gaining and losing weight. We can lose our identity and get confused with who we think we ought to be as opposed to who we are. How we dress often reflects our sense of self.

The fashion industry designs for a small demographic.

Remember Trinny and Susannah? They advocated for a change in how the fashion industry views ordinary women but to no avail. We are still surrounded by fashion that is aimed at women of a certain size, age and shape. Consequently, shopping for clothes can seem like a minefield.

We can all experience ‘bad hair days’, when we would rather not expose ourselves to the big, wide world. We

can tend to dress ‘safe’, making us feel un-noticed and invisible.

Sometimes, we can feel as though we have forgotten how to dress; a style that suited us five or ten years ago no longer does it. Clothes that you have always loved sit in the back of the wardrobe gathering dust. It is important that what we wear makes us FEEL GOOD! Fashion is exciting and can say so much about who we are. If you feel that you have lost your sense of style, help is at hand. Over the autumn I am running a series of workshops to help you gain confidence in the way you dress. Looking at what suits you and how you can jazz up those old favourites that you haven’t worn for years.

DRESSING UP!

Chrissy Smith is offering a course of workshops at ‘The House’ in Seaford to help alleviate some of your wardrobe problems.You can re-vamp clothes you love but no longer wear, learn to accessorise as well as learning about what suits you.

Holly Shiret joined SNC juniors as a late arrival at the age of 13 in 2012 and by 14 was promoted a year early to play seniors level for Sapphires, fourth division team in the Eastbourne league. After a great season and having proved herself worthy she moved up the following season by two divisions to Scorpions, who narrowly missed out on 1st place by just a few points.

In October last year Holly received Player’s Player for 2014, commended at the youth sports awards in November and won a place in the U16s Sussex Academy in December.

Now aged 16, Holly has recently trialled and won a place with East Grinstead U19s who play in regional south, which is a fantastic achievement but she can also be seen here in the South of England regional trials.

With over one hundred girls at this year’s event and last year as few as four girls being picked from the region we are under no illusion that it’s a huge task, but we’re keeping everything crossed for her.

Holly is remaining a member and reserve for SNC and I’m very much hoping in the future she will be able to bring some of her new found skills back to our players and show our juniors what can be achieved with a bit of hard work and determination.

FREE JUNIOR GOLF MEMBERSHIP Seaford Town Council is looking for the next generation of golfers to join its beautiful Seaford Head Golf Course with its state of the art clubhouse. For 11 year olds and under membership is now free and ages 12-17 only £47.25.

Parents and Grandparents are encouraged to bring their youngsters to the golf course and get them into the game.

“This is the first step to get kids into this great game and out in the fresh air, participation in junior golf has slowly declined and we need to do something to halt that trend. Our team here is dedicated to getting a vibrant junior section at Seaford Head Golf Course again.” – Fraser Morley, PGA Director of Golf SHGC.

Local Author, Giles Paley-Phillips, launches new book Children’s Author Giles Paley-Phillips, has launched his new book, Little Bell and the Moon, beautifully illustrated by Iris Deppe that deals with the death and loss of a loved one.

Little B e

and the Moo ll

n

The book is about a little girl who loves the moon and goes on nighttime adventures with it to far away places. She eventually grows old, passes away and then turns into a star.

The book was inspired

by Giles’ youngest son.

“We were walking along one evening and looking at the moon and stars and Sonny, who was 4 at the time, just turned to me and said ‘When you see a star it touches your heart!’ I just thought it was an incredibly profound and beautiful thing to say and it inspired me to write the book.” said Giles Giles Paley-Phill

ips

someone going through a difficult time with the loss of a loved one, have a discussion about loss in a positive way.”

Primary Times said “The book touches on a subject rarely dealt with in picture books, in the most positive and beautiful way possible.” The Sun said “The author has written a book that deals with death in a positive way, an award winner for sure.”

The book is out now in hardback priced £10.99 published by Fat Fox Books and is available in all good bookshops and Amazon.

Giles is the author of six books, including the award winning The Fearsome Beastie, which is being made into a CG animation by Slurpy Studios and starring Brian Blessed and Alison Steadman. He lives in Seaford in East Sussex with his wife, Michelle, and their two children, Elijah, 8 and Sonny, 6.

Iris Deppe

The book has received much critical acclaim, with many saying how it will make it easier for parents to strike up a conversation about loss and bereavement with their children.

“I really wanted to write a book about this subject, my wife and I have both lost our own parents at a young age and we have always been open with the children about mortality, so I really do hope that the book can help some families, who are themselves or know of

Twin Weekend in Seaford a Sunny Success!

Thirty one years after their Twinning Charter was signed, Seaford’s Twin Town Bönningstedt made one of their regular visits to the town again at the end of June.

the Armed Forces Day on the Martello Field, and the Logan’s Charity Garden Party in Sutton Avenue.

And such is the strength of the friendship that coming for Armed Forces Weekend did not seem at all out of place. Indeed, it was the Royal Sussex Regiment’s good work in Germany at the war’s end which set up the original friendship links, and eventual twinning, between the counties of East Sussex and Kreis Pinneberg themselves.

Visitors enjoyed musical entertainment from the Seaford Rock and Jazz Orchestra at both events. They also met their old friends the Seaford Silver Band, and were entertained at dinner by Stephen Owen on the keyboard.

Visitors to Seaford, from Bönningstedt and Crivitz, its other twin from the former East Germany, included the Mayors of both towns. They met Seaford’s new Mayor, Cllr. Dave Argent, when they inaugurated the “30th Anniversary of Twinning” Plaque on the Bonningstedt Promenade (photo above).

In the previous week two prizewinning students from Bönningstedt’s Rugenbergen School had spent a week in Seaford. They saw Cuckmere Haven, Alfriston, Rye and Brighton. They took in a theatre visit to London and spent “International Day” as guests of Seaford Head School’s Year 9.

The visitors, 20-strong, also enjoyed an evening at the new Seaford Head Golf Club, meeting with their hosts, and with the Plauschgruppe: the Twinning Association’s German Conversation Group. They also enjoyed a meal and “Beetle Drive” on the Saturday at St Leonard’s Hall.

At this celebration Martina Kaddatz, who had organised the twinning in the town of Bönningstedt for many years, received a presentation album as thanks for her work from Twinning Chairman Peter White. They visited

Transport delays by EasyJet meant that nine of the visitors were 5 hours late arriving, and then 13 hours late in flying home after problems with both the airline and Gatwick airport. The Crivitz visitors were then promised a 24 hour delay by EasyJet so flew home with an alternative carrier. But a good time was had by all.

In the same week Seaford Town Council endorsed its new Twinning Policy, to support the principle of existing links with Bönningstedt, and not to look for other twin towns from elsewhere. The two visiting Mayors met the STA Committee in the Council Chamber to plan the next two year’s reciprocal visits.

Future Plans: The STA’s AGM is at Claremont Hall at 7.15 on 4th September. Free admission. Bring & Share meal. Raffle.

All welcome.

AWARD AND CHEQUE FOR SEAHAVEN STOREHOUSE

Team members at Seahaven Storehouse were very encouraged recently when they heard they had, among others, been chosen to receive the Mayor’s Award, given to those who had helped support and enrich the life of Seaford and its residents. The Award was presented by the then current Mayor Cllr Mark Brown, at a ceremony held at the newly renovated and refurbished Golf Club.

The Storehouse was commended for its hard work on behalf of families and individuals in food crisis.

The Storehouse also received their share of monies gained at many events during the past year through being one of the Mayor’s chosen charities. At an official handover of the cheque held at the Town Council’s offices in Church Street, Seaford, former Mayor Cllr Mark Brown praised the Storehouse for the year’s work and their continuing support for those in need, and handed over a cheque for nearly £2,500 raised over the year.

Dawn Woodgate, who heads up the Storehouse, commented about both these events: ‘We were very pleased to receive the award in recognition of our first two years’ work spent feeding needy families. However, in reality, success for us would be that we were no longer needed because those in need were able to put food on the table themselves. I don’t think that is likely to happen in the immediate future, though. Only recently we hit an all-time high when we fed 30 families in one week alone.

‘We are so grateful to Cllr Mark Brown for his efforts on our behalf whilst he was Mayor, and happy that we shall be continuing our association with him. The money received will be turned into food so that we may stock our shelves ready for those who will come to us for help in the coming months.

‘We do enjoy serving those who come down to our Seaford Community Church premises in Vale Road on a Thursday morning; we seek to give them love, understanding and attention as well as their food parcels.

Several of our clients no longer need food but come

106

down anyway for coffee and a chat and to renew old acquaintances. And it is very gratifying that we have been able to build relationship with many who were initially wary of approaching us for food.’

Seahaven Storehouse obtains the needed food from the bins in Morrisons and the Co-op, and from donations from individuals and organisations. More of the basic (non-perishable) foods are always needed. If you would like to donate, why not give Dawn a ring or text on 07921 844930, or e-mail seahavenstorehouse@ gmail.com to find out what the particular need is at the moment? Or pop into the Storehouse on a Thursday morning between 10am and 1pm to deliver whatever you would like to give.You will be assured of a warm welcome and a cuppa!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END… What a year it was for Seaford Inner Wheel. Club.

At our June AGM it was announced that the Club had already distributed £1,996.83 to Headway, Breast Cancer UK, Mercy Ships, Water Aid, and the Barbara Kelly Home, as well as the District Chairman’s and Association President’s charities. In addition, at the AGM, £2,200 was donated to Sight Savers, Water Aid, Nepal Earthquake Appeal CAB-Seaford, Guides, Brownies and the Inner Light. The Craft Group recommended that £420 be equally distributed to Seaford Autistic Group, Southdowns Community Special School Eastbourne and Chestnut Tree House, which makes a grand total of £4,616.83.

To bring Mary Morris’s year to an enjoyable close, Jennifer Pierce organised a “private” tour of Firle Place (the country home

...and President Eileen Begins Her Year of Promise Eileen Lynch (right) was born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. She is married to Ian and they have two grown-up children. After serving for 5 years with the West Yorkshire Police in Wakefield she moved to Milton Keynes where she trained to be a teacher. Her subject was Business Studies in a college of further education.

In 1979 they moved to Seaford where she taught her subject at Seaford Community College until retirement.

Since then Eileen has done some part-time teaching and exam invigilating both at the Community College and Newlands School.

Eileen has been a member of Seaford Inner Wheel since 2004 and this year has assumed the mantle of President.

Touched by the difficulties of deaf people she has chosen Hearing Dogs for the Deaf as her charity for the year. As is customary the Club will be celebrating Inner Wheel Day on 9th January 2016 and Eileen proposes to hold a lunch to raise much needed funds to help the Friends of Eastbourne Hospital with their current project, the Da Vinci robot, which can carry out lifesaving key hole surgery.

‘Genuine, Caring, Honest ‘ A Delighted Vendor’s View Elizabeth Kaye, and her late husband Stephen, have lived in the Seaford area since 1964. During that time the Kaye family bought and sold several properties in the local area and experienced many varying levels of estate agency service.

Having lived in Maurice Road for ten years they decided to downsize to a smaller property with a more manageable garden. They became aware of Newberry Tully when a bungalow they were interested in was marketed by us.

Elizabeth explained more. She said, “My husband and I thought it wise to get Andrew from Newberry Tully in to value our property as we wanted to buy a home they were marketing. We liked him straight away. He’s a lovely man and is very honest, helpful and genuinely caring.

“Sadly my husband died suddenly and it meant I could not go through with the purchase. However, I did need to move eventually and I found a place in Seaford which suited my needs.

“Andrew found my buyers quickly and I accepted their offer, thus starting off a property chain.”

manner, he made me feel confident everything would work out well – which it did.

“We have moved plenty of times in the past so I feel I’m in a good position to compare agents’ services. I’d rate Andrew and Newberry Tully as ten out of ten, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to friends or family. They were superb from start to finish.”

Mrs Kaye moved out of her old home and into her new one on 29th April 2015.

As many people know, the process of being involved in a chain is fraught with potential pitfalls but Mrs Kaye was delighted with the way Andrew and the Newberry Tully team handled and overcame any hurdles.

She added, “Andrew always kept me informed and because he has such a calm and professional

New Season, New Live Cinema This September will be the launch of Seaford Community Cinema’s fourth year, and an opportunity to extend our repertoire and test out new ventures.

As well as continuing to offer a varied programme of world, art house, contemporary and selected recent film releases, audiences will soon be able to experience the excitement of watching live screenings of National Theatre productions.

Christine, publicity officer, said, “We try to appeal to a wide range of tastes and hope to attract new people as well as offer our loyal members a diverse mix. We’ll be trialing the NT Live broadcasts and, depending on the reaction, we hope to make it a permanent feature after Christmas.”

The new season will kick off with the now established and popular Gala Event, this year featuring a film by Sussex writer director William Nicholson who, when talking of his childhood in Seaford says, “I grew up first in Seaford, on the south coast, a town that is at the end of a railway line. It has no claim to fame, but it lies between the Downs and the sea.

My childhood passed on foot and outdoors, in bracken and on pebbly beaches.” Audiences to Firelight, a period romance starring Sophie Marceau and Stephen Dillane (photo above), will also be treated to an intimate talk with William Nicholson.

East Sussex Credit Union extends its services to Seaford residents The East Sussex Credit Union, a local cooperative which aims to combat poverty, promote community development and provide credit at reasonable rates is moving into Seaford, thanks to some very welcome voluntary support from Seaford residents.

The launch event was held at the Waves Centre on Friday 3rd July and was officially opened by Maria Caulfield MP. Attendees included Cllr Dave Argent Mayor of Seaford, Revd Trevor Smyth and members of the community who will be volunteering their time for the project.

The Credit Union offers a loans and savings service to people living and working in East Sussex, with the aim of promoting financial prosperity and also tackling financial exclusion in the community.Every investor or borrower

becomes a member of the Credit Union and a share of any profits made is divided amongst its members.

Many residents are already signing up and are elated by the Credit Union’s decision to promote its services to Seaford residents. Mr P. said, “the Credit Union has helped to significantly relieve the stress in my life. With my savings account and the option to borrow, I feel like I have a safety net.”

Miss T commented, “I’ve been having my Child Benefit paid directly into my savings account at the Credit Union – it has helped me to save this money for when the children need new clothes and shoes. I am also better able to manage expensive purchases and times of year.”

Ann Hickey General Manager of the East Sussex Credit Union said, “We are delighted to be able to continue our work in Seaford. This is an important year for some of the most financially vulnerable residents, with the introduction of welfare reforms. Our team in East Sussex will be working to promote the credit union in the area, giving guidance on money advice issues, and preparing people for the implementation of universal credit.”

The Seaford Information Point will be open between 2pm and 4pm every Monday at Waves Centre, 8 Church Street, Seaford, BN25 1HG. Everyone is welcome – go along and speak with one of the volunteers, no appointment necessary.

For further information on the benefits of joining East Sussex Credit Union, send an email to info@ eastsussexcu.org.uk or join online at www.eastsussexcu. org.uk

Hard of Hearing Club Listening to the Friends of the District General Hospital talking about their work in raising funds left us humbled and in awe. Since inception they have raised over £15,000,000 to make purchases for the hospital.

The money has been spent not only on refurbishing places like the gym and the chapel but also on essential equipment, like scanners, cardiac probes and glucose monitors. The volunteers work hard running the “corner shop”, trolleys and the flower shop. Money for the “Friends” comes from legacies, donations and fund raising such as open gardens, art exhibitions and coffee mornings.

On behalf of the Hard of Hearing Club, Jill Allen, the Social Secretary gave Anne and Sue from the Friends a vote of thanks for their excellent presentation of subtitled slides and talk.

The Hard of Hearing Club meets on the first Friday of the month at St James’ Clubhouse in Blatchington Road, Seaford.

WESTERLEIGH NURSING HOME

Personalised care and support in a homely environment

Our next meeting is on 7th August 2015 at an earlier time of 1.30pm, when an outing is planned to Hassocks Garden Centre and Museum. The cost including tea is £10 per person.

Please call Pauline before noon on 6th August 2015 on 01323 895216 if you’d like a lift to the Club.

Lip-Reading Classes Losing your hearing is not always the worst thing in the world – just ask Gill Houghton. Not only does she now have Nell – her beautiful, black, hardof-hearing dog – but she also makes a huge difference to others by teaching them to lip-read.

Gill’s hearing began to deteriorate just after her second child was born and she was devastated as it became increasingly difficult to communicate with her children, family and friends. Never one to give up, Gill turned to a lip-reading class.

Lip-reading opened Gill’s eyes – and ears!? – helping her to follow conversations more easily and feel less isolated.

Instantly realising the immense value of lip-reading, Gill practised diligently; her newfound confidence then led her to train as a teacher herself.

Gill has done many jobs in her life – fitness instructor, doorwoman and close protection officer to name a few – but the joy she gets from helping others is beyond comparison.

As well as teaching lip-reading throughout Sussex, Gill gives talks to anyone who will listen, runs ‘Deaf Awareness’ workshops and volunteers for the charity ‘Hearing Dogs for Deaf People’.

If anyone can help break down the barriers that can be created by disability, it is definitely Gill Houghton.

Lip-Reading Classes are held on Tuesdays at 10am at the Baptist Church Belgrave Road, Seaford. We break for the summer on the 21 July 2015 resuming lessons on the 4th September 2015. We’d love to welcome you, please contact Jenny on 01273 585339 or text 07968 043944

East Blatchington Lectures A MAN who was a priest for 20 years decided to leave for fresh adventures; he worked in a supermarket for three years, stacking shelves and on the till, and then became a successful freelance writer.

Simon Parke certainly has a varied life to talk about when he gives the East Blatchington Lecture this month. His writing has included columns for the Daily Mail and his weekly supermarket diary, Shelf Life, ran for 15 months and has since appeared in book form.

Other books by Simon include Forsaking the Family, which is a refreshingly real look at family life, and The Beautiful Life, which offers ten new commandments ‘because life could be better’.

He also leads retreats and he has written a novel describing events at a monastery in the sands of Middle Egypt. It follows the fortunes of Abbot Peter and the rest of the community, when the stillness of their sacred setting is rudely and irrevocably shattered. He called it Another Bloody Retreat.

Simon Parke is a busy man, who has also has written comedy and satire for TV and radio, picking up a Sony radio award. He will find time to give his talk, ‘Murder in Seaford’ though, which is at St Peter’s Church, Belgrave Road, Seaford, on Tuesday, August 4, at 2.30pm. It is open to everyone. Tickets are £7, including refreshments, available from the Seaford estate agents Newberry Tully, or on the door.

The branch now invites the holder of Seaford Town’s Don Mabey Trophy to be its guest at lunch. The late Don Mabey was the branch’s first President. The award is made by the Mayor for services to the Seaford Community, and this year it is Peter Gwillam from Seaford Lifeguards. He and his wife, Sue, were guests of the branch. It is interesting to note that last year’s and the first recipient, David Argent, is a branch member and was present as Mayor of Seaford.

Following the meal, a raffle raised £200 for the branch’s funds. Surplus money is used by the branch to buy useful gifts to local worthwhile projects, groups or charities.

Forty-five members and friends sat down to lunch along with the Mayors of Seaford, Newhaven and Telscombe, as well as the Deputy Mayor of Peacehaven. Also at the table was Maria Caulfield, the new MP for Lewes.

After the meal, Colonel John Baber MBE, a former army Provost Officer, related his various connections with the Queen and other members of the Royal Family throughout his long military career. This started as a cadet at 17 right through to being Regimental Secretary following his retirement. For some years he was the Provost Marshal for London and the South East and therefore found himself involved in many of the Royal Ceremonial occasions.

involvement in the forthcoming Seahaven Veterans and Armed Forces Day which is on Saturday 27th June at the Martello Fields in Seaford. This is arranged with Seaford Town for the benefit of the whole of the District of Lewes and surrounding towns and villages.

Just before the start of the special lunch held on Saturday 13th June to celebrate HM The Queen’s Official Birthday, at the Star in Alfriston by the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George, the branch’s Vice President, Cllr Steve Saunders, Mayor of Newhaven, presented a cheque for £125 to Louise Pye, a local representative of Help For Heroes. This had come about because Steve had been given two bottles of wine with special SAS labels on his visit to their Regimental HQ earlier this year. These were auctioned at the branch’s St George’s Day dinner. Louise Pye said that the money will be put to the best use by this vital services charity.
