IT RAINED ON OUR PARADE! Veterans and Armed Forces Day was celebrated at Seaford on Saturday 24th June. After a week when we had the hottest June day since 1976, we awoke to a drizzly murky morning. Throughout the day it drizzled on and off, but the driving wind from the sea drove the rain into clothing and into the many stalls that had been set up to support the event.

The wind and rain was too much for some stall holders, many having difficulty in keeping their tents or gazebos on the ground because of the gusts. Despite that, Forces Standards, led by the Standard of St George, were followed by detachments of Veterans, one on his electric buggy, the Sea Cadet Corps, Army Cadet Forces and the Air Training Corps. They formed up on the sea front by the Parade Commander, Major Bob Peedle MBE, their uniforms and clothing getting soaked. They then marched past the saluting base with Lord Lieutenant for East Sussex, Peter Field, accompanied by Cllr Linda Wallraven, Mayor of Seaford, Laurie Holland, President of the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George, and alongside, Maria Caulfield MP for Lewes.

Civic leaders from Lewes District, City of Brighton, Peacehaven, Newhaven and Telscombe also witnessed the parade and inspection.

The parade ended in the arena at the Martello Fields, where the Lord Lieutenant was greeted by a General Salute sounded by Chris Goodchild and Alan Charles, trumpeters from the Seaford Silver Band. After prayers

by Revd Daniel Merceron from Alfriston and the Cuckmere Churches, then the Inspection of the parade and address by the Lord Lieutenant, the trumpets sounded again for Last Post followed after a minute’s silence by Reveille. The exhortation was read by Captain Ken Jupp, Chairman of Seaford RBL. In the parade, the Seaford Sword was carried by Steve Bell CBE,

6

a member of the Seahaven Branch RSSG. The VIPs and Veterans, followed by the cadets, then took warm drinks and refreshments provided by donations from the Royal British Legion and The Royal Society of St George.

The weather stopped the arena displays and with so few members of the public the event finished nearly two hours early. The proceeds from the event will be donated to the Forces Charity, Combat Stress.

Laurie Holland, President of the Seahaven Branch RSSG said, ‘It was so impressive that the veterans and cadets all marched past with great pride despite all of them being soaked to the skin and blown by the gusting wind. It was a wonderful sight, and everyone watching applauded their steadfastness. I was so proud.’

The event is organised by a joint committee of Seaford Town Council and Seahaven Branch RSSG with the support of Seaford RBL, for the whole of the district of Lewes with surrounding towns and villages.

Photos by Tom Bonnar, from top: The inspecting party move through the ranks on parade stopping and talking to many of them; Four members of the Seahaven Branch RSSG accompanied the Lord Lieutenant at the exposed saluting dais, (l-r) consort to Mayor of Seaford, Liz Holland, Maria Caulfield MP, President RSSG Laurie Holland, the Lord Lieutenant Per field, and Cllr Linda Wallraven, Mayor of Seaford, the host town; At the end of the parade, the Standards are marched off the parade by RSSG Standard Bearer, Frank Holland.

St Leonards Church FLOWER FESTIVAL A town centre Flower Festival will be held in St Leonard’s Church, Church Street, from Friday 22nd September to Monday 25th September.

This will give visitors an opportunity to enjoy the special atmosphere of the ancient flint-built church, parts of which are over nine hundred years old.

If you walk through the graveyard but haven’t yet looked inside the church building this would be a good time to have a look, take in the beautiful scent of the flowers, listen to the live music and have a cup of tea.

Some twenty-four flower arrangements will reflect key events and people from the Bible including some of those found in the stained glass windows and other objects in the church.

All are welcome and the festival will be open on Friday, Saturday and Monday from 10am to 5pm, and on Sunday from midday until 5.30pm, after which there will be a Choral Evensong service at 6pm.

Seaford Natural History Society

Here we are in August and the Natural History Society’s walks programme is well underway. We started in April with a walk around National Trust woodland at Ashcombe Bottom (on the Downs above Plumpton College). Later walks have taken us to local sites – Seaford Head looking for birds, Cornish Farm and later the Seven Sisters Country Park looking at wild flowers and butterflies – and further afield to Chailey Common, Hastings Cliff End (fossils), and Hastings Country Park (bumblebees). Our annual outing in May (for members only) was to Mallydams Animal Rescue Centre, Hastings.

Our August programme brings us closer to home again with three local outings. Sarah Quantrill, the Sussex Wildlife Trust ranger, will be walking us round the Seaford Head Nature Reserve on 1st August. Then we visit the Rathfinny Estate vineyard on 15th August – this walk is for members only and requires pre-booking. And at the end of the month we will be back on Seaford Head again looking at moths. See the listing at the end of Seaford Scene for further details. Information about the rest of our 2017 programme can be found on our website: www.seafordnaturalhistory.org.uk or by phoning 01323 893526. We welcome visitors and prospective new members on our walks, which usually last about two and a half hours, and we suggest that visitors make a £3 donation.

Out and about in August August is a good time to look for butterflies and moths.

On Seaford Head you might see Clouded Yellow butterflies near the cliffs, Small Coppers near Hope Gap in mid-August, or Common Blues on the grassy slopes in late August. In Cradle Valley, you could see the Silver Spotted Skipper – a rather uncommon species with a good population in that area, and further afield, spectacular displays of Chalkhill Blues can be seen at Friston Gallops from late July to mid-August. High and Over is another good place to see butterflies.

By way of background, there are 59 species of butterfly and 2,500 species of moth in the UK, with more establishing every decade following migration from continental Europe. They are found from shoreline to mountain top, and occur in a wide variety of habitats.

18

Their caterpillars feed mainly on plants, but some moth species feed on roots, lichens, algae, wood and fur. Many species depend on a narrow range of plants or food types for their survival.

Many species of butterfly and moth are under threat from habitat loss, pesticides and the effects of climate change. According to the charity Butterfly Conservation, 2016 was the 4th worst year on record for UK butterflies, with a number of species suffering sharp declines in numbers.

In order to understand this decline, its causes and how to combat it, Butterfly Conservation needs data on where and when butterflies and moths are seen.

Across the country, dedicated volunteers are carefully observing the numbers of the various butterfly species at specific locations each week. Seaford Natural History Society is playing its part and has established two routes on Seaford Head. Volunteers from the society walk them every week to identify what butterflies can be seen locally and report back to Butterfly Conservation.

Details of what we find will go up on our website.

Members of the public can also contribute and information on how to do that can be found at http:// www.seafordnaturalhistory.org.uk/Recording.htm A warm, sunny day without too much wind is the best time to look for butterflies.

Artwave 2017 Now in its 24th year, Artwave is one of the largest and most popular arts events in East Sussex. This year around 500 artists will be showing their work at 140 venues all across the Lewes District. Artwave is a great day out for visiting new places, meeting new people and picking up some locally produced art to take home. From photography and film to ceramics, there’s something for everyone this summer in what promises to be the biggest and best Artwave festival to date.

Over three weekends from 19th August to 3rd September, private homes, gardens, community spaces and galleries will be opening their doors to show you how they work, including a plant nursery, two churches and a working forge. With so many artists and venues to choose from, it’s an eclectic mix full of old favourites and new surprises, something to inspire all tastes. This year the festival has a new element too with the addition of ‘Art on Film’ in partnership with our community cinemas. On 2nd September, Seaford Community Cinema, Arts at the Crypt and Seaford Musical Theatre will be holding a special screening at the Barn Theatre from the Royal Academy’s summer exhibition. ‘Painting the Modern Garden: Monet – Matisse’ is the perfect film for art and garden lovers alike.

It’s also great to see that the popular trails are back; the Haven Trail in Newhaven and Peacehaven, four different rural trails and town trails in Lewes and Seaford. Seaford’s trail includes 14 artists showing a range of ceramics, photography and paintings. Why not visit the Coastguard Cottages on Seaford Head where We are Mountains and friends will be showing printmaking and photography to raise money for Cuckmere Haven SOS; The Seadrift Group, a new eco-themed open house where all the art is based on the artists’ connection with nature, or Seaford Art Club at the town’s historic Crypt. No trip to Artwave would be complete without a visit to one of Seaford’s favourites, Driftwood Garden, which will be showing

24

the work of 15 artists and serving tea and cakes on vintage china in their beach garden.

If you want to leave the car at home, Artwave has teamed up with its headline sponsor Brighton and Hove buses, making it easier for visitors to find venues if travelling by public transport. Bus stops and stations will be printed on the map, and you may even find our resident artist Edi Mandala on board gathering inspiration for an Artwave inspired mosaic.

You can pick up a brochure with full listings at the Tourist Information offices in Lewes and Seaford. https://www.artwavefestival.org Instagram artwavefestival Twitter @ArtwaveFestival

Artwave in Seaford THE SEA DRIFT GROUP

something special about taking a piece of plastic from the beach and combining it with freshwater pearls, elevating it into a beautiful piece of jewellery.

The Seven Sisters stand proud as a national place of heritage but on closer inspection the chalk cliffs now sit in piles of discarded plastic. Caroline Bond, an eco-artist and member of the Sea Drift Group in Seaford, feels passionately about society’s obsession with convenience and its over reliance on single-use plastic, which is having a punishing effect on marine habitats and ecosystems.

The sea is alive with colour; changes according to the weather, the winds and time of year and is an endless source of creativity. Nicky’s paintings serve as a permanent record of the beauty of the sea as it is today and she hopes people will stop and reflect on what is in danger of being lost.

Four independent artists, Lindsay Harman, Alison Harris, Nicky Stoner and Caroline Bond are exhibiting in Seaford, as part of Lewes Artwave. Caroline’s showcase, ‘Weave the Seas Clean’, creates beauty out of this marine debris – ghost nets and discarded fishing apparel. She forms bowls and wall pieces from woven ropes and creates animal mobiles and dioramas from smaller pieces of ghost net, gill nets and repurposed boxes.

Lindsay Harman is a long-standing Seaford artist whose work has an other-worldly spirit. Her time spent in North Queensland led to a heightened sense of colour, and her landscapes capture the underlying spirituality of our beautiful open spaces. More recently she has become fascinated by the distinct character of our shores, the ever-changing moods of the sea, the architecture, the boats and harbours, and the creatures that live in its waters. Through Lindsay’s paintings she highlights the reason our beautiful and irreplaceable coastline and countryside should be preserved.

Jeweller and metalsmith Alison Harris, draws inspiration from the shoreline, and her work is reminiscent of objects found on the beach. She forms sculpture and jewellery from pewter, copper and silver. For Alison there is

26

Sussex artist Nicky Stoner has always been motivated by the beauty of the natural world and more recently by our wonderful coastlines; the effects of a wave breaking on a beach, and the drama of the varying light and shade.

Through their art, members of the Sea Drift Group have been drawn together to demonstrate, each in their own individual way, a true appreciation for the beauty of our coastal surroundings, which are a constant source of inspiration and a place in which to reflect. In their work, the four artists highlight the need for change before these scenes of light waters and beautiful waves are spoilt forever.

Artwave 2017 ART AS YOU LIKE IT As part of the 2017 Artwave a superb exhibition of original artwork by Seaford Art Club members is being held at the Crypt Gallery, Church Street, from 19th to 24th August – open 11am to 5pm weekends and 10.30am to 4.30pm weekdays.

making art with others is stimulating, social, satisfying and relaxing.

Take life drawing for example.

First-timers soon realise there are no straight lines on the human body and that drawing a hand or foot is seriously complex. Moreover, the time a model can stay still is limited, so artists must work quickly. It’s a steep learning curve.

That said, you don’t have to be a Monet or a Michaelangelo to make art, as much of the joy of belonging to an Art Club is watching fellow members develop. The variety of expression is enthralling. Some choose to paint, some draw and some shape sculpture, while others make collage, quilting or embroidery. It’s all art, so come and see it at the Crypt – and prepare to be amazed.

So what is Art? Is it brilliant colour, provocative shape or just plain weird? Well, it depends on who’s looking.

According to Degas: ‘Art is not what you see, but what you make others see,’ while American realist Edward Hopper noted: ‘If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.’

Seaford Art Club at the Crypt Gallery, Church Street, Seaford, from Saturday 19th August until Thursday 24th August. Free Entry. Opening times: Weekends 10.30am-5pm. Weekdays:10.30am-4.30pm.

Answers on page 124

The point is, you don’t have to be a dab hand with a paintbrush to make art or join an art club. You just do it – and that’s what an art club encourages, because

ARTWAVE FILM

What better film to illustrate the open house and garden season than the documentary that accompanied the much praised Royal Academy show Painting the Modern Garden, from Monet to Matisse. Dubbed an ‘exhibition on screen’ this joint collaboration between three sponsors, Seaford Community Cinema, Arts@ theCrypt and Seaford Musical Theatre, is part of a new Artwave initiative to include the moving image.

The film is being screened at the Barn Theatre on Saturday 2nd September at 7pm and will be introduced by its director, Phil Grabsky who will also answer questions from the audience afterwards.

The subject is bound to be of interest to art lovers and gardeners alike, Claude Monet having been an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art, but he was not alone. Great artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Sorolla, Sargent, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art. The film takes a magical and widely travelled journey to discover how different contemporaries of Monet built and cultivated gardens to explore motifs, colour, design and utopian ideas, going on to reveal the rise of the modern garden in popular culture and our enduring fascination with them today. As Monet modestly said: ‘Apart from painting and gardening, I’m no good at anything.’

For lovers of art or lovers of gardens, then, this film is a must-see. All tickets are £6 and available from the tourist information centre in Church Street or online at www. seafordcinema.org Image: Monet’s garden at Giverny is much the same today as when the artist designed it.

Artwave Seven at 71 Close your eyes, spin around and ‘abracadabra!’ artists appear to be hanging their work in three places at once.

Yes, that’s the magic of Artwave. Over the past few months Sarah Gregson and Sally-Mae Joseph have been adding to their already considerable portfolios in order to show different pieces at Robin Shell’s Stafford Road open house, at Last Minute Artists’ Art Exhibition at The Old Chapel Centre, The Tye, Alfriston, and at the Seven at 71 open house at Roman Vane, Firle Road.

On the weekends of 19th and 20th August and 2nd and 3rd September, Sarah and Sally-Mae are at the Seven at 71 open house, a new venue this year, where Sue, Geraldine, Nigel and Michelle are also exhibiting their work, along with guest artist Richard Walsh. Expect to see acrylics, watercolours, photographs, sculpting in wool, willow used in surprising ways, and sculpture, along with tasty refreshments in the garden. Prepare to be entranced.

At Stafford Road they are joining 13 other talented painters and makers for an open house encompassing art and crafts from jewellery to textiles, every weekend from 19th August to 3rd September, including the whole late bank holiday.

For more information about Last Minute Artists go to http://lastminuteartists.weebly.com

As co-organisers from Last Minute Artists they are showing at the Alfriston show with fellow committee members Sue Casebourne, Geraldine Edmonds, Nigel Goss and Michelle Martin-Dufaur, together with 29 other artists in order to carry on the former Alfriston Art Show, held for the past 10 years over the bank holiday. This year the show takes place on 26th, 27th and 28th August, from 11am until 5pm with the added treat of lunchtime jazz from Music from the Sofa, the band headed by the multi-talented Nigel Goss, and tea and cakes in the garden if fine. Exhibitors comprise some of those who previously showed at Alfriston and those who show with Last Minute Artists at Arts@theCrypt, Seaford.

CONCENTUS SINGS IN SUMMER, ST LEONARD’S CHURCH Well, they’ve done it again! Another excellent concert, proclaimed by some of the audience as even surpassing the ‘best concert ever’ accolade given after Concentus’ 2016 Christmas offering. The choir’s reputation for well sung, well presented, musically varied concerts is spreading, as evidenced by their continually growing audiences. People were impressed that the excellent soloists and group singers all came from the choir, and the programme was received with enthusiasm expressed by prolonged applause and cheers.

The programme was very varied – ‘something for everyone’ as one person said. The choir captured the many emotional tones present in Showboat (O. Hammerstein/J. Kern) – the tenderness of You are Love; the mysterious arising of enduring love in Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man – the solo sung with clarity and expression by Jo Fowler; the harshness of existence for black slaves in Ol Man River and the despair of ever being able to escape from it. Begin the Beguine (C. Porter) sensitively sung by a large group of singers, tugged at people’s heart-strings, moving them with the song’s silken harmonies. Medleys from the Beatles and the Beach Boys revived happy memories and the smouldering, vamping delivery of Razzle Dazzle, And All That Jazz (from Chicago, Ebb/Kander) and Georgia on my Mind (Gorrel/ Carmichael) showed yet another aspect of Concentus’ versatility.

One Voice (Manilow) opened the second half, causing quite a frisson of the unexpected as the assembled choir turned their backs! While the audiences’ attention was focused on this back view, Musical Director Adrian White began singing from the back of the church and one by one other choir members stood from the audience adding their voices to that ‘One Voice’. The choir then turned as one, joining in this song expressing what is achieved when just ‘one voice’ has the courage to stand and be counted. This was one of the songs which won Concentus the St Cecelia Challenge Shield at this year’s Hastings International Music Festival. Jill Parker of the JPK Project, the charity supported by the choir, used the song to illustrate how the Project started with ‘just one voice’

30

and now, with many voices joined in co-operation, their aim of providing supported living and training facilities for local disabled young people is reaching fruition.

Sue Barnes sang a beautiful solo in The Nun’s Chorus (Strauss/Graham), delicately but forcefully pleading for aid ‘ere the convent walls enslave me’. The four songs taken from Die Fledermaus (Strauss 11) were a whirlwind of music and song, with the choir easily maintaining clarity of diction throughout. Several soloists performed here: Moira Raines singing Adele (Laughing Song) was outstanding, effortlessly expressing ‘my style and elegant air’ and her complete incomprehension that such a lady could be confused with a maid! Lynn Large conveyed a real sense of Rosalinda’s longing for her homeland in her solo in Homeland.

Three pieces from Les Misérables (Schönberg/Boubil) made the closing climax for this concert. Tenors and basses gave a powerful rendition of The Chain Gang, giving voice to the prisoners’ degradation and powerlessness. They were aided by the marvellously heavy relentless accompaniment of the two keyboard players John Ross and Colin Hughes, who provided the backing music for the whole concert with skill and versatility. Musical Director Adrian White and soloist Chrissie Higgins starred in the Innkeepers Song, acting and singing their roles as the innkeeper and his wife with hilarious and dramatic effect. One Day More was the final song, sung with great passion by the whole choir.

Les Mis brought the house down with lengthy clapping and cheering. There was no doubt at all that the audience had a splendid night and a quote from Die Fledermaus perfectly sums up the experience: ‘What delight for us all! What a fabulous night to recall!’ Whatever can Adrian and the choir do for their Christmas Concert to top that?

They have never let us down yet – it is set to be another Christmas cracker!

ROTARY CLUB OF SEAFORD

The weather was glorious on the Saturday and Sunday but was followed on the Monday by conditions so bad that the ferry sailings were cancelled, so the timing of the visit was very fortunate. The weekend was a huge success and Seaford Rotary Club has accepted an invitation for a return visit this September.

The work of Seaford Rotary Club’s twinning group, which commenced in November 2015, was finally rewarded when Rouen-Rouvray Rotary Club began communicating with us and decided to come for a preliminary visit.

President’s Donation

Rouen Rouvray Rotarians Visit

The first exploratory visit at our invitation was on Saturday 3rd June when four members of the RouenRouvray club arrived on the Dieppe-Newhaven ferry.

They were met and welcomed by four members of Seaford Rotary Club who chauffeured them to their hotel not far from the ferry terminal. The visitors included the President of the Rouen-Rouvray Rotary Club, Marie Prioult, accompanied by her daughter Alexandra, their President elect Jean-Marc Yacono and his wife Catherine.

After time to relax and recuperate, our visitors were conveyed to Diella’s restaurant where other Rotarians were there to greet them. After introductions, Immediate Past President Peter Fenwick greeted our visitors in French and hoped that they had an enjoyable evening and visit to Seaford. The meal and ambience were excellent and the evening was enjoyed by all.

On Sunday, our French visitors were taken for a splendid buffet breakfast at Seaford Golf Club. Presents were exchanged and both clubs exchanged banners and good wishes. For the rest of the day, our Gallic guests were split into four groups and taken on separate tours of the countryside around Seaford at the discretion of the Rotary drivers and their partners, although each group went to see the coastguard cottages! The tours all finished at the ferry terminal in plenty of time for farewells and embarkation for the evening ferry to Dieppe.

38

As one of his last duties as President for 2016/17, Bill Pierce visited the local shop of Cancer Research UK in Broad Street, Seaford on 26th June 2017 and presented the President’s donation of £1,000 to the shop manager Laura Gerrard.

He was supported at the presentation by three Past Presidents, Geoff Lowles, John Preddy and Paul Tuley.

Each year the President is allowed to choose the charity he favours for the annual £1,000 Seaford Rotary award which is used for both local and national causes and on this occasion Bill added an additional donation of £100 which he helped raise from a bowls evening on 21st April at Denton Indoor Bowling Club.

Safety in Action

During the week commencing 22nd May 2017, 789 children aged 10 - 11 from 27 different schools within the boundary of Lewes District Council descended on Newhaven Fort to take part in Safety in Action Week.

The event organised by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service aims to give children a better understanding of safety in a variety of environments.

At each of the 10 sessions during the week, the children who were split into teams of up to 10, worked their way around activity stations covering different aspects of safety, including Road Safety, Safety on Buses, Safety on the Railway, Fire Safety, Electrical Safety, Food Hygiene, Safety in the Water, the dangers of Alcohol, First Aid and Stranger Danger. At each station, they were awarded points out of 20 relating to how well they understood the safety aspects and how well they answered questions put to them. Seaford Rotary Club’s involvement with this event is firstly to provide the prize money for the best school and for the best team, and secondly to provide assistance during the week

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

in putting together information packs for the schools and in adding up the scores.

The winning school this year was Plumpton Primary School with a score of 191 out of 200 for their two teams. On Wednesday 21st June, President Bill Pierce went along to the school to present a cheque for £250 to Headteacher Richard Wilkins, while event organiser Sophie Hepworth of East Sussex Fire and Rescue presented the children with a framed certificate which recorded their success.

A big thank you to East Sussex Fire and Rescue for organising this event, and to the Rotarians who helped during the week. The Safety in Action Week gives enormous value to the children who attend, helping them to understand safety in many forms. Long may it continue.

Patchwork Farm receives Royal Seal of Approval

On Wednesday 14th June, Patchwork Farm at Chailey Heritage received the Royal Seal of Approval when their Patron, HRH The Duchess of Gloucester officially opened the farm.

The farm provides a new multi-sensory learning environment designed and created for those with complex disabilities. The appeal for funds to construct the farm was launched back in September 2016 by Christopher Timothy, star of All Creatures Great and Small who dug the first sod for the new farm buildings.

In December that year Seaford Rotary Club donated £500 to the fund to sponsor the chicken and duck enclosure.

In addition to the chickens and ducks, Patchwork Farm’s new residents include sheep, goats, pigs, donkeys, rabbits, and guinea pigs. It is not the first time Chailey Heritage has worked with animals, as pupils from the ‘Farm School’ had a working farm during the First World War. Verena Hanbury, President and Trustee of Chailey Heritage commented, ‘Patchwork Farm is an absolutely inspirational addition to Chailey Heritage because it gives every one of our children and young people new,

joyful, educational, and therapeutic opportunities that are so important for their development.’

Mike Roper, Steven Willox and Jim Anderson had the privilege to attend this opening ceremony to represent Seaford Rotary Club and see how well our donation had been used. It will give much stimulation to those at Chailey Heritage for many years.

Seaford Photographic Society We are now on our summer break, the time when our members will be out and about taking photos ready for next season. Some travel to the far corners of the world, but don’t forget there are many photographic opportunities nearer to home, including of course this month’s Eastbourne Air Show (17th to 20th).

Every year around this time we have a summer competition. The theme varies slightly from year to year but it usually involves one of Colin’s collection of old film cameras. The camera is passed from person to person and anyone entering has a day or two to take just one picture, and then pass the camera on to the next person on the list. It is only a bit of fun but it is a good opportunity to give people an idea of what life was like pre-digital. You only get one chance and no opportunity for subsequent editing! Previous years have resulted in lots of blank images and at least one broken camera.

The film is then developed and scanned and the results viewed at the first meeting of the new season on 1st September – always entertaining. The only stipulation this year is that a bicycle must feature somewhere in the image.

We had a lot of positive feedback about the KCPA annual exhibition, held at the Crypt Gallery back at the end of May, and we will be doing everything we can to get this show back to Seaford next year. We had 687 visitors during the week and people were very impressed with the standard of work. We also spoke to a lot of keen photographers, many of whom

had recently moved to Seaford and were interested in joining Seaford Photographic Society. If you are one of these, do come along to our first meeting of the season and have a chat. You are welcome to attend a few sessions before making a decision on whether or not to join.

As noted in last month’s newsletter, six club members went on to have their images selected to represent the KCPA in the national PAGB Inter-Federation Competition. We are delighted to report that Maurilio Teso’s print, entitled Woman – Tate Britain, was successful in the competition so is included in the exhibition that is now touring the country until 2018, visiting Rotherham (July) West Midlands (Aug & Sept) Nant-y-Crynwydd (October) and Accrington (Dec and Jan). Many congratulations to Maurilio.

Another date for your diaries – our annual exhibition will be here again soon, from 9th to 23rd September at the Crypt Gallery, when all club members get a chance to exhibit their work.

For more information about the club, including next season’s programme, contact details and members’ galleries, see www.seafordps.org.uk. The web site is currently undergoing a major redesign at the moment and next year’s programme is still being finalised, but the Welcome Back Meeting including Summer Competition Results will definitely be on Friday 1st September at 7.30pm at Seaford Constitutional Club, Crouch Lane.

Enjoy your summer holidays, keep taking those photos, and we look forward to seeing some new faces in September.

She was recently re-elected to the seat, with a substantially increased majority, and will be talking about her life as an MP. No doubt she will also be dealing with a few questions from the audience.

She was a member of Brighton and Hove City Council, for the ward of Moulsescombe from 2017 until 2011. As a nurse she specialised in cancer research, and worked at the Royal Sussex County Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital, and then the Royal Marsden.

Intriguingly, one of her other accomplishments is as an urban shepherdess, part of an environmental project which uses sheep and cattle to graze public open spaces.

The lecture is open to all, and will be at St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford, at 2.30pm.

MARTELLO ROTARY

Rotarian of the Year and a new President

The AGM of the club was held in early June, when all the chairs of the various committees present their reports for the Rotary year that is drawing to a close. Members had previously voted for the Rotarian of the Year, and the winner was revealed by outgoing President Jackie Arkwell to be Clive Rimell (photo above). A week later Jackie handed over the chain of office to the new President, John Windsor, (photo left) and John duly installed his President-Elect, Jim Austin, (photo right) who will succeed him in July 2018. This is John’s second term of office as President and he said ‘It is a great privilege to be able to serve our club as President for a second term. There have been a great deal of changes locally, nationally and internationally since I last held office, and I look forward to leading the club in helping to serve needs in those communities.’

Triple Challenge This summer the Martello Rotary club has been raising money for the British Heart Foundation through the Triple Challenge, an event which invites participants to either walk or run or cycle over a challenging course that takes them on to the South Downs. The weather was a great disappointment to the organisers but the cool, moist conditions came as a relief to all those taking part as they laboured up steep flint and chalk tracks and raced along the top of the Downs. Thankfully the route was well signed and marked with colourful flags, otherwise the thick cloud would have presented route finding problems as visibility became quite low. Further assistance came from a large band of happy volunteers who acted as marshals at junctions and made life easy by opening gates.

This is the second year that the Martello Club has

52

organised this event; in 2016 sponsorship totalled £1,000 for the British Heart Foundation and it is hoped that this year’s total will be similar. In total 70 people took part, and the fastest time for the half marathon route completed by the runners and walkers was 1 hour 29 minutes and 33 seconds, a commendable 3 minutes faster than last year!

The quickest cyclist, who chose to do the 30-mile route, arrived home in 2 hours 30 minutes, and special mention should be made of our youngest participant, who at the age of 10 successfully completed the 20-mile cycle ride.

Everyone agreed that it had been an enjoyable, if tough, event and in every case felt they had earned the very special medal that commemorates the Triple Challenge.

Interest is already being expressed in the event next year when we hope to attract even more people to take on the challenge! The event was organised by Rotarians Martin Baldwin and Marion Trew, and Martin said ‘I would like to thank everyone who helped us to make it happen including Tesco, Martin Bulger of Seaford Striders, Tony Rowswell and Guy Reynolds of Seahaven Cycle Club, Rod Lambert and the team from Mr Cycles.’

First outing for the Tavern in The Tent The Armed Forces day and Motofest held at the Martello fields over the weekend of 24th and 25th June provided the first outing of the year for the Tavern in the Tent, and whilst the weather was not ideal on the Saturday, fortunately the sun came out on the Sunday and this encouraged many people to partake of liquid refreshment! Rotarian Julian Newton-Turner said, ‘A big thank you to everyone who supported us over this weekend – as a result we have raised approx. £1,300 for charitable causes. Our next event is at Bishopstone Fête on 5th August and we look forward to seeing you there.

If you would like to hire the Tavern for an event over the summer months just get in touch with us.’

The Martello Rotary Club meets on Monday evenings at Seaford Golf Club and welcomes new members. For more information email: rosdniw.1959@gmail.com or call 07733 268014.

PROBUS CLUB

Seventy-one members, partners and friends attended the Seaford Head Probus Club summer lunch at the Hydro Hotel in Eastbourne on the first Tuesday in July. All were warmly welcomed by the club president, Michael Duke, and his wife Carol.

After the meal entertainment was provided by the Popups, a local singing group composed of retired people who enjoy the sociability of just singing for people’s pleasure. Their choice of songs from the ’40s and ’50s was much appreciated.

Gardens Visit A couple of weeks earlier club members had glorious weather for an outing to West Dean Gardens, near Chichester.

After lunch in the restaurant there the many features of the gardens were admired.

Celebrating 30 Years in Seaford Back in 1987 Stephen Newberry Estate Agents opened its doors in Church Street. Stephen has been an estate agent for more than 45 years and no other agent has continuously worked in Seaford longer than him.

This year we celebrate 30 years of serving the town and we encouraged Stephen to take a trip down memory lane.

He said: ‘I opened my doors for business on 1st September 1987 and six weeks later two major events happened which threw a real spanner in the works. The Great Storm in October 1987 smashed through the south of England and created havoc along our coast.

Luckily our coastal defences had been reconstructed earlier in the year.

‘The charming old wooden groynes had been buried under millions of tons of pebbles, creating a large shingle shock absorber and pushing the beach back about fifty yards. Many people think that this saved the town centre from flooding.

‘The hurricane was quickly followed by Black Monday, which saw the global stock market crash dramatically, hitting the property market. My timing couldn’t have been worse but I persevered, worked hard and thankfully the business grew.

Stephen Newberry

Andrew Tully

‘We’ve always priced as accurately as we can, based on our knowledge and experience, but most importantly the evidence of other similar properties that have recently sold.

‘In the year ending September 2016, we agreed sales on 84% of properties that we took on in comparison to the 65% industry average and this statistic speaks for itself.

Seaford U3A News https://u3asites.org.uk/seaford/home

First of all, thanks to you and Fran for making our Annual Book Fair such a success.The Seaford Scene effect was obvious! Customers really liked their purchases and our gold leaflet was there to give a taste of what Seaford U3A has on offer in the way of courses, talks and events for the 2017 – 2018 season. If you have now already got yours, pick one up from the library or tourist information office.

We have a quiet time in August. Our coffee morning at the Constitutional Club takes place on Wednesday 17th August between 10am and 12 noon, (remember just £1 for coffee/tea and delicious goodies.) There is no pub lunch in August, but you can book for the 29th September lunch at the Shore by phoning David on: 01323 381282 before 27th September.

However behind the scenes a lot of work is going on.

We have taken bookings for our home/hall courses and organisers are readying themselves for our Open Day on Thursday 7th September between 2pm and 3.30pm at The Downs. This will be a chance to meet up with co-ordinators and course leaders, to apply for courses which still have vacancies and to join Seaford U3A for the new season. There will be more about this in the September article.

The trip to Dover Castle at the beginning of June took place on what seemed to be the windiest day of the year! There was a point in the day when staff thought it would be a good idea to close the outside walls in case people got blown away! However, in spite of this everyone had a good time and was very impressed with the free guided tours. The Great Tower has vivid medieval interiors which are such a contrast with the Second World War tunnels. Diana and John said they were fascinated with their experiences in operational planning during the war in Malta, compared to what took place at Dover.

Heather said that the group discovered the oldest surviving lighthouse used to aid navigation by the

58

Romans across the Channel and visited the Anglo Saxon church. Altogether another wonderful trip, showing 2,000 years of a rich and varied history protecting our English Coast!

Later in the month we had our first Summer Talk, with guest speaker Antony Penrose from Farley Farm House in Chiddingly. He spoke very movingly about his parents, the artist Roland Penrose and photographer Lee Miller. They first met in France in 1937 at a fancy dress ball where the guests included people who were surrealists including Man Ray and Max Ernst. Roland and Lee were immediately attracted to each other and it was not long before they moved to England. Roland was an artist and collector who was instrumental in setting up the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts) which featured work by people such as Picasso, Ernst etc.

Lee, who had been a Vogue model, and later modelled for Man Ray amongst others, was an exceptional photographer. During the Second World War she was employed by Vogue to report from the front line to let the public know what had been happening. In the second part of Antony’s talk he described how his mother’s photographs were found in the attic of Farley’s Farmhouse after her death. She’d not talked about her work so it was surprising to see how many prints, plates and negatives had survived. Antony and his late wife, Suzanna, started to catalogue and archive his mother’s precious work. Neither would have realised what an impact that would have on artists, historians and photographers today, particularly those pictures which were taken at the end of the Second World War, where one of the most famous photos is of Lee Miller in Hitler’s bath!

Seaford U3A is pleased that some of its members will be able to visit Farley Farmouse in September to have a guided tour and to learn more about this fascinating family.

HOME SWEET HOME Buying a property should be exciting. Not exhausting.

All too often, the prospect of dealing with the ‘conveyancing bit’ of moving home can be a little bit daunting. At QualitySolicitors Barwells, we believe it can be better than that. We think the whole process should be made as straightforward and painless as possible. You should be kept right up to date with what’s going on, in everyday language, rather than ‘lawyerspeak’. And you should be kept informed of the cost all the way through the process. In fact we don’t just think it we do it.

Energy efficiency in new homes Energy efficiency is really important to us all. It saves money on ever-increasing fuel bills; it means we are more likely to be able to rely on homeproduced energy, improving fuel security; and it reduces the amount of carbon we release into the atmosphere and so reduces our contribution to global warming.

The Seaford Neighbourhood Plan provides a great opportunity to make sure that new houses built here are as energy efficient as possible. The requirements in the current Building Regulations in England are helpful but do not go as far as they could. And whilst developers can no longer be required to do more than the Building Regulations – they can be encouraged to do more – and it appears that many of them want to.

When the Government withdrew the Code for Sustainable Homes in 2015/16, BRE (the Building Research Establishment) developed a Home Quality Mark so that developers who had strengths in energy efficiency could distinguish themselves from the rest. The Home Quality Mark tells householders the overall expected costs, health and wellbeing benefits, and environmental footprint associated with living in a new house. As well as focusing on cost efficiency, it promotes measures to reduce dependency on energy sources that impact badly on our environment, climate and health, including using cost effective renewable energy sources and measures to reduce the need to use energy at all.

See http://homequalitymark.com/living-in-a-hqm-home for details.

There are also internationally recognised housing standards called Passive House and Active House which could be relevant to the Neighbourhood Plan. Passive House is a rigorous, voluntary standard for energy efficiency in buildings, creating ultra low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling – see http://www.passiv.de/en/02_informations/01_ whatisapassivehouse/01_whatisapassivehouse.htm for details. Active House is similar to Passive House with a focus on light airy buildings (developed by a window

manufacturer!).

There are projects using these standards across the country – from Totnes in Devon to Ditchlingham in Norfolk, and from Camden in London to Golcar in Huddersfield – and, more locally, a new development in Newhaven. They range from individual houses through blocks of flats to terraced affordable housing association developments.

We have suggested that there would be nothing to lose and a lot to gain if the Seaford Neighbourhood Plan takes up this great opportunity and encourages developers to create homes which are as energy efficient as they can be using these or equivalent standards.

For those of us in existing homes, energy efficiency is more difficult to tackle. Options vary from the cheap and cheerful – low energy lighting and draught proofing, through loft insulation and controlling heating in individual rooms, to more major projects like cavity wall insulation and the installation of solar panels. One thing we can all do is be aware of energy efficiency when replacing worn out appliances. As far as we can see, there are relatively few loans or grants for energy efficiency these days but it’s worth checking the government grant calculator at https://www.gov. uk/energy-grants-calculator and looking at the Energy Savings Trust (http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/ home-energy-efficiency) for information on how to make your home more energy efficient.

Hi-De-Hi at Newhaven Fort Meeching amateur Dramatics (MAD) would like you to take a nostalgic look back in time when, according to the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, we were part of the ‘never-had-it-so-good’ fifties. Maybe you were one of the baby boomers at that time or have heard about those special years when life was so different. Britain having just come out of rationing and shortages seemed so innocent and optimistic for the future, and where trust and neighbourly concern thrived. The era of package and exotic holidays had yet to arrive so most people spent their week’s summer holiday at a holiday camp or at the seaside.

So in August 2017, for three evenings only, Thursday 24th to Saturday 26th, the Fort at Newhaven will come alive, as Maplins Holiday Camp and you will be transported back in time, to 1959, for MAD’s production of Hi-De-Hi by Paul Carpenter & Ian Gower, a stage play adapted from the original TV series, by Jimmy Perry & David Croft. Doors will open at the Fort from 6.45pm with a 7.45pm start. It will be a night to remember, so do come along and enjoy a summer evening, with Gladys and all your favourite Yellowcoat characters from the TV series, in the convivial surroundings of the Hawaiian Ballroom. Tickets are £10 with £8 concessions from Newhaven Fort, Fort Road, BN9 9DS Tel: 01273 517622 & Meeching Estate Agents, High Street, Newhaven Tel: 01273 515566 or Tony 07912 965507.

Dementia Care Rated Good in Seaford Following an unannounced inspection in May, Clifden House dementia care centre has received a ‘good’ rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Inspectors found the service provided by Clifden House in Claremont Road to be safe, effective, caring and responsive, and awarded it the second highest grade. The CQC assessors praised the staff, saying they are ‘kind and caring and have developed good relationships with people. They support people to enable them to remain as independent as possible.’

In particular, assessors also commended the wide range of activities available. ‘External entertainers were provided on both days of our inspection with music to suit a range of tastes and interests. For those who liked a quieter life, Clifden House’s gardens offered a secure and safe environment to take a stroll. The home keeps hens and those who choose to can assist in their upkeep.’

Nial Joyce of Clifden House said: ‘We are delighted to have received this grade from the CQC. It is a real endorsement of the efforts my staff and I make to ensure that our residents our happy, engaged and well cared for.

The CQC feedback is invaluable and we are currently working to secure our ‘outstanding’ grade for next time.’

Supporting a dementia friendly community Earlier this year, Clifden House joined Dementia Friends, the Alzheimer’s Society initiative that helps people learn about what it’s like to live with dementia and then turn that knowledge into action. Dementia Friends encourages everyone to be more patient when out in the community.

Nial Joyce of Clifden House said: ‘As a specialist dementia care home we have first-hand knowledge of the disease

64

and appreciate how challenging this condition can be to the person and their carers.

‘As you would expect we run a ‘dementia friendly’ home – including colour coded doors and walkways for ease of navigation, a relaxed café-style dining area and bespoke resident-focused activities to stimulate.’

Celebrating individuals On Monday 24th April, Evelyn Sewell, a resident at Clifton House celebrated her 100th birthday. Evelyn enjoyed a tea party with her friends and family. Evelyn’s son, Derek (74), flew from Australia to join the party. Evelyn’s three grown-up grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren also joined her.

Evelyn’s daughter, Sylvia Hill (76), said: ‘Mum thinks she can’t possibly be that age. Even though she has Alzheimer’s, she’s fit as a fiddle. She doesn’t need a stick or zimmer frame to get about, and we have a laugh together all the time.’

Nial Joyce said: ‘Evelyn is an amazing lady and it is our privilege to be able to help her celebrate her special day.’

Evelyn has been a resident at Clifden House (the care home that she chose for herself) for the last four years.

Activities and participation Deena McCormack, activity coordinator at Clifden House and dementia friend says; ‘I am passionate that all our residents are supported to continue doing what they most enjoy – whether that’s fishing, leading a poetry class, designing questions for pub quizzes – you name it! It is difficult to predict when sufferers might be able or willing to do the activity again, and they may not have the same ability as they had before dementia, but the most important aspect is the stimulation and enjoyment they get from it -– so our mantra is ‘carpe diem’ – seize the day!’

Established 40 years ago, Clifden House Dementia Care Centre in Seaford specialises in providing residential and respite dementia care. It enables the individual to lead an active lifestyle with privacy, dignity and security. Specialist and individually tailored care and support are available to over 50 people living with dementia, all with varying levels of need. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN AND SEAFORD LIONS CLUB June is the end of the Lion’s year and so it is all change. Sunday 2nd July was our changeover meal and the start of a new Lions year. We had a lunch at Seaford Golf Club with the several of our ‘friends’.

We did not actually change our president as Dirk would like to remain president for another year. He obviously had such a wonderful time as president last year!

Earlier in the month we went up to the Coastwatch Tower in Newhaven to present them with some much needed funds. National Coastwatch is a voluntary organisation which helps the Coast Guards to keep our coastal areas safe. The tower in Newhaven is manned from 8am until late evening by volunteers who have undergone quite a bit of training in the use of radar and radio communications.

We felt that it is a very worthwhile cause as they

need lots of equipment which must all be maintained using donated funds (photo right).

We must also thank Paradise Park again for allowing us to have our book sale in their foyer. In spite of Kindles etc books are still very popular. We receive a lot of donations of books, probably from new Kindle owners, and we sell a lot. This is to those who do not like the flickering screen and prefer something solid with pages – old fashioned people like me! Anyway, thank you Paradise Park.

During the last year the Club, with all your support, has raised about £20,000. Much of this has been returned to the Community in grants, mainly to the elderly and the young. We have supported St John Ambulance, National Coastwatch, First Response and Sports Clubs to mention but a few. We have also pledged to buy a defibrillator for the Young Mayor’s charity and I am told these are on order and we will be having a press release from STC shortly. We also run two minibuses which Community Groups can borrow, these cost us about £700 a month to run including insurance and repairs, road fund licence and fuel. The money we receive in donations only covers part of the fuel costs.

Mentioning the minibuses, we are now finding it more and more difficult to provide drivers. This is because we are getting older. If you are licenced to drive group D vehicles and would like to do some voluntary driving for us, get in touch with Dirk on 01323 896161. This is an important part of our community work and we would like it to continue, so don’t be shy, give us a call.

HM THE QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY is CELEBRATED IN STYLE

The Queen’s official birthday, Saturday 17th June, was celebrated in style by the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George. Over sixty people gathered at the View, Seaford Head Golf Course for a special formal dinner attended by Maria Caulfield MP, as well as the Chair of Lewes District Council, the Mayors of Seaford, Peacehaven, Telscombe and Polegate and the Deputy Mayor of Newhaven. Other guests included Ken and Julie Jupp, from Seaford Royal British Legion.

A highlight of the evening was the presentation from the branch of a defibrillator to the Seahaven Responders.

At the start of the evening, the guest of honour, Joanna Cadman, Chairman of The Royal Society of St George, was led into the room by the branch standard carried

by Frank Holland, and accompanied by branch president Laurie Holland. Before grace was said, a minute of silence was observed in memory of the victims of the London Bridge terrorist attack and the horror of Grenfell

Worthing 01903 700900 www.prestige-nursing.co.uk

Tower. Also remembered was the terrible murder of Jo Cox MP, whose theme of remembrance is to bring communities together.

In welcoming the guests, Chairman Bob Peedle MBE said how grateful the branch is of the support from the local civic leaders. He then went on to describe the role of the guest of honour, giving leadership and guidance to some 100 branches and many thousands of members worldwide.

Joanna Cadman presented a book, a first edition to be signed by its author which was auctioned after the dinner.

The money raised, together with a generous grant from Peacehaven Town from their Bingo income, is to be donated to a suitable fund to help victims of Grenfell Tower. A cheque for £1,000 collected by the branch members will also be sent to Manchester for the Lord Mayor’s fund to help victims of the earlier terrorist attack.

Chairman Bob Peedle said ‘This was a most successful celebration of our Patron, HM The Queen’s official birthday. Our Royal Society also sends the Queen a rose for every year of her life on her birthday, 21st April. It is a privilege to have been involved with raising the money for the life-saving defibrillator and to make donations to help victims of the recent atrocities. This week we are preparing to play our part in the Veterans and Armed Forces Day on Saturday 24th June.’

Companion Gardening, Cooking & Homemaking I love doing these things and would like to enable and facilitate others to enjoy them too.

Do you need my help?

I currently have spaces available. (£15 p/h min 2 hrs).

Twenty-five years ago two local women, recently widowed and feeling isolated, conceived the idea of forming a group for bereaved people. They called it HEARTSEASE, after the flower. The group has thrived and now HEARTSEASE has evolved to welcome anyone who, for whatever reason, finds themselves alone and would enjoy some social interaction.

At 2.30pm on the first Friday of every month – except August – meetings take place in the large hall at Seaford Baptist Church.

There is a programme of speakers and other activities to cater for a wide variety of interests. After the entertainment there is time for companionship and a delicious tea, provided by a great team of helpers.

For those who enjoy the occasional evening sortie three evenings a year we arrange to go together to plays performed at Seaford Little Theatre. Transport is offered when necessary. Our annual summer outings have taken us far and wide.

seaford kurlers SBG Computers of East Sussex

Hello Everyone. This is the latest offering from me as Secretary to Seaford Kurlers.

Well we have the school holidays upon us. We all react differently to this time of year. For the education staff it is a well earned rest. For the students it is a time for fun with your mates and possible family holidays. I go out early in the morning to swim. I miss the children in the paper shop.

The one thing that I do appreciate is the reduction of the traffic in the mornings. For Seaford Kurlers, this means that some of our members are pressed into grandparent duty so we ‘lose’ some players for a while.

During this time we will be helping out at the Wave Paragames event. This is usually good fun. This year it is on Sunday 13th August. Come along and watch.

Seaford Kurlers visited Polhill Garden Centre near Sevenoaks. I think that most of us were very impressed.

There is an enormous range of plants and the facilities are excellent. There are plenty of places to eat and a vast range of choices. The selection of homeware and gifts in the rest of the centre is enormous. Prices are really to suit all pockets. There were a number of things that I could not resist. I would recommend a visit.

We went with Lynn’s Travel in Eastbourne. Their service is excellent, prices are good and there are local pickups.

Have a look at their brochure, give it a go. As you can see, we are not just a sport club, we have trips out as well.

Come along to Wave Leisure Seaford on Tuesday from 2pm to 4pm and you will find us in the sports hall.

Your first visit is free. The weekly fees are £2.50 and the Annual Membership is £5. We are a multi-ability club, so if you have mobility problems we can help.

Inner Wheel Club of Seaford We have much pleasure in introducing you to the new President of the Inner Wheel Club of Seaford, Jennifer Pierce. Jennifer has been a member since 2011.

To go back to the very beginning, Jennifer was born in Chownes Manor House, Cuckfield – one could say, to the Manor born! She spent her childhood in Brighton and left school at 15 years old. Although

Jennifer did train as a bookkeeper, she had been an amateur ice skater since the age of 11. The smell of greasepaint and the roar of the crowd completely overwhelmed her and she was attracted to the opportunity of a lifetime, to perform on stage. Her first audition was at the young age of 16 and she landed her first contract for a summer season variety show in Skegness. Nine years followed, touring in shows including Wembley spectaculars, pantomime and stage productions.

Jennifer married and the arrival of her son, Douglas, ended her professional days on ice. The family lived in Wimbledon and for many years Jennifer was a volunteer

at the Wolfson head injury rehab centre. She moved on to the property letting business as an assistant agent.

Retirement in 1994 lured her back to East Sussex. She volunteered again, this time for an extended spell in the Discovery Centre at Drusilla’s Park Zoo to show and explain the vulnerability of endangered species in the wild.

Jennifer is a grandmother to her International Attorney son’s trio, Isaac (12), Genevieve (8) and Jude (6), who live in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire.

Tea Organised by Chrissie Ward for Senior Citizens

Under Chrissie Ward’s leadership Inner Wheel and the Women’s Institute joined together to provide an afternoon of fun and laughter, entertainment and companionship, all washed down with obligatory cups of tea, cakes, scones and sandwiches. Graham Tubb together with Andrea Hargreaves and The Pop-Ups made the afternoon go with a swing. Many thanks to estate agent David Jordan for making it all possible.

Dinner at Diella’s on Tuesday 27th June

Jennifer organized a superb finish to the year and the club dined Italian-style at Diella’s.

Despite the rainy

summer weather everybody was in good spirits to give a superb send off that President Andrea deserved after a year of service and fellowship. As to be expected the noise was phenomenal. Jennifer (our incoming President) thanked President Andrea for presiding over us and the afternoon continued in the most enjoyable way.

Seaford Stamp & Post Card Club

Club member Tony Hope has been very busy recently giving full displays at both the Seaford and Eastbourne clubs. His Seaford presentation was on the theme of The British Railway Postal Service. It was a very varied, beautifully presented display illustrated with many railway postal and parcel stamps on their original envelopes. His knowledge of the subject, which started in his childhood years, helped bring the presentation to life. He was also able to integrate into his display a lot of the railway postcards and possibly unique railway ephemera.

Tony’s presentation at Eastbourne was on The Long White Cloud (New Zealand) where he worked for many years.

It was a fascinating display in which he interwove his deep knowledge of the country with an excellent stamp display backed up with ephemera and postcards.

The presentation was so well received that members present voted it their ‘Egg Cup’ for the best display given by a club member this year.

The topics covered in forthcoming meetings will be on The Lewes & Area Post Cards, Horsham to Crawley Railway Post Cards and Safety at Sea. The club now holds its meeting every second Wednesday in the month at the Constitutional Club in Crouch Lane. New members are very welcome and details can be obtained from the club secretary David Manthorpe 01323 492433, email: david.manthorpe10@gmail.com.

Seaford Tree Wardens

Bug Hotels

Excellent for attracting wildlife to your garden, bug hotels, also known as wildlife/habitat piles, make a great addition to your garden. These hotels provide shelter for a whole host of critters, including small mammals such as hedgehogs, frogs and toads, bees and all manner of bugs and beetles. Here’s how to build your own!

Supplies

For your bug hotel, you will need a selection of the following: Old logs and branches – you can drill holes into the end of these to provide hidey-holes for bugs and beetles – wood pallets, bamboo canes, natural materials such as moss, straw, pine cones and dry leaves, old terracotta pots or tiles, and bricks – preferably with holes in.

Construction

You can start building your bug hotel at any time, but a good time of year to begin is in autumn, when you should be able to find a lot of the materials you will need to build it. It will also provide good shelter for wildlife over winter.

Simply choose a good spot on firm, level ground and start stacking! Make sure your pile is stable, and no more than a metre high to avoid it toppling over. The idea is to create lots of varying sized gaps and spaces in between your chosen materials to attract the widest variety of creatures.

You can add to your hotel gradually, building it up as you find new additions for your stack - tuck a few pine cones in here and there when they fall in spring, or add on some pruned branches at the end of summer.

Be sure to give your stack a covering to protect from the rain, something like a sheet of corrugated iron, or planks of wood stacked on top is ideal.

Your bug hotel is now open for business!

You see, I think I had it upside down and back to front all along: It wasn’t the under 3s I should have been feeling apprehensive about; it was the parents.

The Seaford Parenting Scene

Weddings & Kids – a recipe for disaster?

Weddings are rife at the moment. I know this because my hairdresser told me so, that, and not being able to locate anything bar a nuptials card in Clintons at the moment.

But that’s OK though, because everyone loves a wedding, don’t they?

Dressing up to the nines, catching up with far flung family, getting acquainted with the happy couple’s friends, overeating and over-drinking, taking hundreds of photos filled with people you have never met, standing on ceremony, and dancing until dawn – or at least the hotel’s curfew.

What’s not to love? According to a lot of brides: The Kids.

I was one of them. I cringed as I sealed wedding invites which included children. No, hang on, I’ll be more specific, I cringed over a couple of invites that contained the names of under 3s. Our own baby was only 6 months old at the time and in true Bridezilla style I, how do you say this politely? I ‘made alternative arrangements’ for our grizzly bambino in an adjacent room to the ceremony with a lovely friend of a friend. Safe and sound.

I was paranoid that during the ‘I do’s’ the baby contingent would join in wholeheartedly, the toddlers would run wild and our year in the planning weddo wouldn’t be quite the Instagram-goal that I had my heart set on.

That 6 month old baby is now 6 years old, and we’ve added another who is 3 (and a half. That half is very important to this frazzled Muma). Do you know what?

My viewpoint has shifted a little more towards ‘tolerant’.

Funny that…

82

It’s a given that toddlers can’t sit still. It’s also a given that babies enjoy exercising those lungs, most especially during a law-of-the-sod moment like the exchanging of the vows. As I sealed those invites some 6 years ago, I should have felt confident that the parents of said minors would have had the good sense to either arrange a babysitter if they felt delightful Derrick was going to eat the order of service having taken a pee pee up the aisle. Or sit near an exit for a quick escape.

At my brother’s wedding recently, a packet of Polos worked wonders for our ToddlerMonster, much to the disgust of the church warden. But needs must, and they were bridesmaids. In the 2nd row. There was both a need and a must on this occasion!

The trouble is, I can’t help but feel a little offended these days when an invite hits the mat with the glaringly obvious omission of my children’s names. My first thoughts are (bolshy voice) ‘What’s wrong with my children?’ And then I remember I write a blog detailing the answer to this very question…

I don’t think the happy couple ever consider the offence they might be causing. But more importantly the looming childcare issue that rears its ugly head when the kids are cast aside. We were invited to a family wedding last year, and our girls were not. Our eldest daughter couldn’t understand why they didn’t want her to take part in their special day, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

We had a brilliant time of course, undoubtedly attending a wedding sans kids is A*. But the childcare co-ordination was like a military operation, and at one point it was doubtful if we could go at all because the very people that would normally have our children for a prolonged period of time were all going to be at the wedding!

As the cost of achieving wedding perfection continues to soar, I’m fairly sure that the kids will continue to play the fall guy. Sitting out ‘I do’ after ‘I do’. Just remember brides, not all kids are like Angelica Pickles, and not all parents are like Eddy ‘Ab-Fab’ Monsoon!

Do you get offended when your brood are missing on a wedding invite? I’d love to hear your thoughts on kids and weddings over on my Facebook page. Search ‘Muma on the Edge’. Lyndsey Stoner @mumaontheedge mumaontheedge.com

The Horticultural Show is the one event for August and all members are encouraged to take part whether by exhibiting even if it is just in one single class or by coming along to view and appreciate the work of others.

The 12 most popular images will be included into the calendar.

Details of this and the show are in the members’ schedule and on the website: seafordhorti.com

The annual Seaford show continues to be one of the biggest in Sussex and always appreciated by visitors.

This year the show is booked for Saturday 5th August at Seaford Head Upper School, Arundel Road.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD

year of the 100th show there were 900 entries with around 1,000 members of the public visiting during the afternoon. In 2001 it was decided to have one show per year around July/August as this was thought to be the best month for most flowers and crops.

A

ugust brings the Seaford and District Horticultural Society’s main event of the year – the 115th Horticultural Show. History has some fascinating facts about the Society’s shows through the last 114 years, which makes for interesting reading. In 1935, the annual show was held on Wednesday 6th November in the old Drill Hall in Upper Broad Street. In 1937 the cost to put on the show was £11.11s.2d (about £11.60 today) which was thought to be rather expensive and in 1938 boiled potatoes and stewed fruit could be exhibited. During the war years the annual shows were abandoned and it wasn’t until 1946 that they were resumed with a summer and autumn show. However the summer show of that year was abandoned due to lack of support, but the autumn one attracted 324 entries. In 1950, show helpers were supplied with 6 quarts of beer by the Chairman in appreciation of their work in organising the show. In 1951 the Festival of Britain was held and this was celebrated by the society with a 2-day show and open to the public from 3pm-10pm. Two shows continued each year and were usually well supported with high totals of entries in each one. By 1989 the membership of the Society stood at 827 but there were only 326 entries for the autumn show. In 1998 the

JOBS TO DO IN AUGUST

3 Some of the new side shoots of gooseberry and currant bushes can be cut back to 5 leaves, this allows light and air to circulate as well as ripening any remaining fruit.

3 Summer is a good time to divide chives to create more plants: water the clump first then carefully pull it apart into small sections and replant each into a pot of new compost.

3 Harvest cut flowers regularly, this encourages blooming well into autumn, early morning is an ideal time as stems are less likely to wilt.

3 Earwigs love dahlia petals so stuff a small pot with straw, place it on a cane among the blooms ~ the pests become trapped in the straw and can then be removed.

The Three Rs might mean Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic to most of us, but to the hard-working volunteers at Seaford Community Garden they stand for Renovate, Repair, Resite and a fourth one, Re-do.

For standing in our classroom, positioned just where you can’t miss it however hard you try, to the right of the door, is a big blackboard – yes it does recall schooldays and squeaky chalk – on which are written the jobs to be done. And some Wednesdays we rip through them, accomplishing much joyous rubbing out as chores are ticked off, done, and others, well, er, we don’t. Take the current list: renovate roses over gate and tighten wires, renovate gate, renovate compost bins, repair curved edge to gravel garden, re-site round water bath in gravel garden, re-do bed under horse chestnut tree… and that’s just the Rs. There’s also: sort out, label and display echiums, check plants on sales table regularly and have a general clean-up, not forgetting to report anything needing further action.

And if you are really stuck for something to do, then there’s always the ongoing task of sorting plastic plant pots into sizes. The trouble is that as the list gets longer, horticultural growth spurts get in the way and have to be dealt with. This lovely summer of long dry spells and a little much-needed wet means the veg are growing prolifically. Some of the courgettes seem to have been fed with elixir of marrow and are growing enormous, and the runners although sown a little late have gone into sprint mode along with the promisingly vigorous French beans. And as for the tomatoes, they’re h-u-u-ge.

88

Then of course Nicola and Ellie have been doing sterling work transforming the children’s area, now with raised beds waiting to be filled, and planting sunflowers interspersed with tomatoes against a wall.

Coming up to our 10th birthday it’s hard to recall what the garden looked like when this piece of neglected former nursery was taken over and slowly transformed into the burgeoning place of beauty that it is now. But how great it is that it is a true community garden, visited by residents and holidaymakers alike and enjoying regular visits from local schools and youth groups. Only the other week we welcomed youngsters from Chyngton County Primary School who were guided around the garden.

They fed the compost heap with banana skins, rubbed and smelled lavender, opened poppy heads to see the seeds inside, and went back to school with tomato plants and sweet peas. We look forward to meeting more of you on our regular Wednesdays at the Crouch from 9.30am until 12.30 and, now, during the produce season, on Saturday mornings from 10am until noon when there will be lots for sale on the new table that Dave made.

Originally stemming from the hard work of the Seaford in Bloom voluntary group in 1992, the scheme is now in its 24th year, and year on year attracts such compliments from those visiting the town centre.

Seaford Town Council took over the scheme in 2014 and felt it was an important part of the scenery in the town centre to be maintained.

The presentations range from planters and hanging baskets in the town centre, to bedding at the War Memorial and on Station Approach. The presentations are a key asset to the town, maintaining the bright and colourful vista that encapsulates you when you arrive.

Special thanks go to Europlants Ltd for once again supplying and planting the stunning displays, ranging from the hanging baskets and fountain planters in Broad Street, to the arrangements in Church Street and the boat on Station Approach.

If you would like to assist by sponsoring with further displays please contact Sharan Brydon on 01323 872973 or email: facilities@seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk

Seaford Afternoon Flower Club The club meets this month on Thursday 17th August and we will be having a demonstration by Sachiko Pearce entitled Orient Hana Express. Sachiko will be demonstrating flower arranging techniques from her native Japan and we are excited at this prospect. It is likely to be entirely different to the flower arranging to which we are accustomed. Our competition this month is entitled Oriental Beauty, using a shallow dish and thereby encouraging members to attempt the Japanese style of flower arranging. No doubt Sachiko will tell us where we are going wrong!

Green Waste Recycling Service

At our meeting in June, Andrew Stephenson Clarke gave us a talk and slide show on Borde Hill Gardens in Haywards Heath. The gardens have been owned by the Stephenson Clarke family since 1892, and the family were patrons of some of the great plant collectors who went to the Himalayas, China, Tasmania, the Andes and North America. His presentation was most interesting and informative, and indeed encouraging when he remarked that, despite their horticultural expertise, they still have disasters at Borde Hill when plants fail to flower.

Some of our members have been busy working on their entries to the Seaford Horticultural Show, which takes place on 5th August and is one of the biggest horticultural shows in Sussex. There are always abundant entries and it is a most interesting way to spend an afternoon.

The rest of the year’s programme is a mixture of demonstrations and workshops and our annual fee is just £28, which is amazing value for 11 entertaining afternoons. Why not come and join us this year? We will offer you a warm welcome.

We meet on the third Thursday of each month (except January) at 2pm at the Baptist Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford BN25 2EE.Visitors are always very welcome at £5 on the door which includes refreshments. Contact Georgie Wall on 01323 490979 or Sue Ward on 01323 894848 for further details.

A day in the life of Cycle Seahaven Saturday 1st July was a busy day for the club. It started a few days before with a plea for help as our usual Dr Bike ‘doctors’ were unavailable. Requests for help on the Cycle Seahaven Facebook page remedied that and we ended up with more helpers than we’ve ever had previously.

We established ourselves on the usual pitch outside Seaford Police Station and before long the first of the thirteen bike ‘casualties’ arrived. Typically these are rusty bikes that have been pulled out of sheds by their owners in the hopes they can start riding them again in the summer. The vast majority of them just require proper lubrication and safety checks (the bikes not the owners).

The team had a few punctures to contend with as well, which, given the mechanical skills of one of the volunteers, proved to be entertaining. In Seaford, we continue on the first Saturday of each month until October.

Later in the day...

Ellie started her Women’s Festival of Cycling ride from the White Lion. She took a group on a 24-mile crosscountry route through the forest and then onto the South Downs Way above Eastbourne. From there they descended into Birling Gap before returning to the forest.

Judging by the comments on Facebook this was a bit like trying to herd cats as some of the riders kept getting distracted by butterflies, caterpillars and every other living creature known to man. When not pursuing said butterflies on a bike (to get photos for a member of the group), she was trying to locate others that had wandered off. What is it about teachers and their need to misbehave when not in school? A sharp blast of the whistle and order was restored.

Once back in the forest the group was given goody bags kindly provided by Cycling UK to celebrate the festival.

It appears that the ‘bum butter’ provided in little pots within the bag can be mistaken for lip salve (always read the label!).

102

If you didn’t know, Cycling UK’s Women’s Festival of Cycling runs for the whole of July. The aim is to encourage more ladies to ride (only 20% of UK bike riders are female). Cycle Seahaven’s ratio is 25% but as one of the ladies said yesterday it seems like more because our ladies have a tendency to be ‘vocal’.

Meanwhile...

Mark Woodgate’s family ride started in the forest with a brilliant turnout. Parents and children assembled in the car park before peddling to the Candy Canes and then along sections of the red route, before descending down the Snow Run and Final Descent.

Some of these youngsters are going to be seriously good riders in future. If you want to encourage children to ride we thoroughly recommend you bring them along to a Family Ride (hosted on the first Saturday of every month throughout the summer starting at 2pm).

And then...

Both rides joined up in the second car park of the forest for a picnic. Ellie’s ladies had arrived first and having erected the Cycle Seahaven gazebo they got down to the serious business of Prosecco tasting. Both groups enjoyed a picnic, and Ellie’s chocolate and raspberry cheesecake, which seems to have been used as a carrot to encourage participation in both rides. The kids, with renewed energy, ran around playing football or Kubb; a Danish game which involves knocking down wooden blocks with sticks. Some of the ‘bigger kids’ also tried racing the little kids’ bikes, resulting in at least one crash.

So, all in all, a great day for the club. Thank you to all those that volunteered and assisted with Dr Bike. Special thanks to Ellie and Mark for hosting and coordinating their rides so that everyone could join up for a picnic.

It was a great idea. Plans are afoot for similar events in future; details to follow on the CSH Website, Facebook pages and Club Twitter account.

Seaford Striders

annual Summer Solstice Races

by Hilary Humphreys

On a very hot evening 46 Seaford Striders set off along the prom from the Newhaven & Seaford Sailing Club for either a 2.5k or a 5k run, which started and finished at the Seaford Sailing Club. To add to the excitement a huge cliff fall had occurred earlier in the day beyond Splash Point and there were numerous rescue vehicles at that end of the prom, but luckily this did not interfere with our run.

Three juniors were first back across the line having completed the 2.5k run in under 17 minutes, with Amelia Brown finishing first in an excellent time of 14:02. A total of eight juniors participated in the 2.5k race as well as some parents.

A ‘Couch to 5k’ runner comes of age

by Jo Enright

On 29th March, I took the plunge and joined the Seaford Striders ‘Couch to 5K’ group for the second week of the programme. I had been persuaded by my friend, a current Strider, to give it a try. I decided to go along to show willing but wasn’t planning to attend regularly! That week we were asked to run for 90-second intervals, alternating with a 2-minute walk. I remember commenting to a fellow Couch-to5K’er that running for 90 seconds would be a challenge for me.

It was however, in the 5k race that the juniors really excelled, with five taking part, beating many of the seniors in the process. Oskar Morton finished 12th overall in a cracking time of 23:22. There were a total of 36 runners in the 5K race and it was good to see so many Junior Striders tackling the event.

It’s now 12 weeks later and since that initial session I have regularly attended the group and have run on my own in between. I had fun joining the Seaford Striders for my first Parkrun in Preston Park. I followed this up shortly afterwards with another Parkrun in Eastbourne. My real achievement was completing the Eastbourne Race for Life 10k on 18th June. This is something I never thought I would be able to do! I used to play sports at school and since then have been a sporadic gym goer, but running has never appealed to me as it was something that I didn’t think I was capable of.

The Striders would like to extend their thanks to the Sailing Club Commodore for his hospitality, thereby ensuring we could enjoy a drink in the clubhouse after the race. There were nearly 50 runners in all, and it was great to see so many juniors running; an encouraging sign for the future.

After completing a couple of 5k runs, I decided to try and push myself a bit further and the 10k felt like a natural progression. I didn’t sign up until the night before and didn’t tell anyone I was going to run, as I still wasn’t sure I could commit to it! I liked the idea of the Race for Life as I knew it wouldn’t be a pressurised race and I would be able to go at my own pace. After losing my mum, my mother-in-law and father-in-law to cancer, it also felt like a good opportunity to combine my new challenge with supporting Cancer Research UK.

If you are interested in running in Seaford as either a junior or senior then please visit the website for meeting times and venues. http://www.seafordstriders.org.uk/

Sunday 18th June was a scorcher and the heat added to the feeling of ‘how on earth am I going to complete this?’ but I did and felt hugely proud of completing the race, also running it in roughly the time I was aiming for.

Heathfield Midsummer 10K

by Hilary Humphreys

Twelve Seaford Striders were in attendance at Heathfield for the latest 10K event on the Sussex Grand Prix circuit, which was held on quiet country lanes around the villages of Cross In Hand and Waldron.

A well organised, tough but enjoyable race, which starts with a downhill sprint as the runners plummet down towards Waldron, there follows a 4k stretch ending at the lowest part of the route, although you’d never believe it due to the constant undulations.

The last 5k is mainly an uphill slog, with brief respites in the form of short downhill or flat sections. However, the brutal final kilometre is guaranteed to empty anything left in the tank. After conquering the hill, the race ends with an agonising lap of the Rugby pitch, only made bearable

by the ample encouragement from faster finishing teammates and perhaps thoughts of the bar at the finish! Thankfully the often-present heat had been transformed into ideal running conditions, with even a slight breeze in places.

In a field of over 300 runners the winner was Matt Bradford from Lewes AC in a time of 33:40. First for the Striders, and clearly refreshed and fully recovered after his injury was Josh Rudd in a cracking 38:50 (12th place overall). Next and in equal good form was Gareth Hutchinson in 39:22 (photo) and Luke Borland in 40:25.

Ed Tuckley and Josh Nisbett were not hanging about finishing in 41:21 and 44:13 respectively. Phil Robinson wasn’t far behind them on 45:50.

Taking the honour this time out as first female Strider was Anna Norman in an impressive 49:20; leading the way for Peter Weeks in 49:36. Next across the line was Natasha Swan in 50:44 and Richard Honeyman in 54:47. Finally, Hilary Humphreys came in at 55:51 and Emma Goodwin 1:02:09.

Think Your Holiday is Just Sun, Sea And Sangria?

THINK AGAIN

Holidays Provide a Host of Health Benefits...

By Judy Renihan The holiday season is upon us and many of you will be heading off on your travels. Whether it’s a staycation or exploring further afield, a holiday is not just about fun, food and the odd glass of sangria. A holiday provides several health benefits, such as improving low mood, reducing stress and increasing productivity.

A change of scene gives a new perspective on our problems, often shrinking them to a manageable size. We can come back from a successful holiday with renewed vigour ready to take on the world! And even better, the benefits of a good holiday can last from three weeks to three months. The major benefits of being on holiday are:

Reducing Stress And Anxiety

By removing yourself from situations that are associated with stress and anxiety; symptoms of stress and anxiety will be dramatically reduced. A Canadian study involving 900 lawyers found that not only did a holiday reduce stress, the effects lasted beyond the holiday. There have also been several studies highlighting the cardiovascular benefits of taking time out. One study showed that even missing a holiday for a year significantly increased the risk of a heart attack. A similar study showed that women, who took a holiday every five years, were eight times more likely to develop heart disease. When we’re on holiday we tend to get more fun exercise; dancing, walking and swimming. All exercise is great for burning up the adrenaline that fuels anxiety.

Improving Low Mood

Depression creeps up on us over time and I feel that this is often caused by mental exhaustion. Most of us lead pressured, hectic lives juggling family, work and managing a home. After a while all these obligations can wear us down and it’s difficult to see where we’re going. A holiday

110

provides us with new experiences that give us a fresh perspective on how we run things at home.

We can create happy memories being on holiday, recollecting these memories can be an effective way to calm the mind, similar to the way meditation works.

Ron Bracey, a clinical psychologist, believes that remembering scenes from a fun holiday can give instant relief to anxiety.

‘Thinking back to your holiday relaxes the mind because mental imagery releases natural feel-good hormones released by the brain. This image can be useful to call up before a nerve-racking experience – for example public speaking or visiting the dentist.’

If you’re enjoying yourself on holiday, you’re more likely to laugh. And laughter really is the best medicine, according to recent research. A good belly laugh can strengthen the immune system by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural ‘feel-good’ chemicals which can help reduce the risk of disease – from heart conditions to allergic reactions and arthritis.

Improved Productivity

Every year we put our car in for an annual service because we know that it will run more efficiently once it has been taken care of and re-fuelled. We want to perform to the best of our ability; striving to get more done in less time feels like we’re getting ahead and being more productive. However, working consistently at this pace can take its toll, not only on your health, but also on how much you actually achieve.

Ernst and Young are one of the top four accounting firms in the world. They conducted a study of employees and found that those who took an extra ten hours of holiday, increased their productivity by up to 8%. What’s more, employees taking more holiday were less likely to leave the firm. Another American study found that high level professionals who took all their annual leave were more productive and happier. As we all know, when we’re happier, we excel at what we do.

If you haven’t planned a holiday this year, get the travel brochures out and take some time off.You’ll sleep better, be more productive, more relaxed and healthier.

If you already have your holiday sorted out…

Bon Voyage!

THE

HOUSE Because change begins with you...

COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

A happier life can start here...

‘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.

At ‘The House’ we 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.

Cultivating Peace Like seeds of Eden, Seaford’s Peace Garden has spread its roots firmly and flourished. In the seven years since it was opened by actor, activist and Quaker Sheila Hancock in 2010, the garden has provided Seaford with a place of peace and tranquility – a botanical sanctuary from the daily hustle and bustle – nourishing the hearts, minds and souls of visitors seeking quiet within its restorative canopy.

The walled plot has also been a creative canvas for artistic expression. The Peace Statue by Christian Funnell provides the focal centrepiece – surrounded and sheltered by the shrubs and herbaceous borders of Lindsay Thomas’s original planting scheme – with four stone benches set around where people can sit, rest, find stillness, contemplate and reflect.

Nestled and partially hidden away among the rustling and abundant foliage are three stone carvings by the lettering artist and sculptor Jo Sweeting. Each carved tablet bears a message that feels particularly appropriate in these worrying and restless times: ‘make time to listen’ and ‘walk cheerfully over the world’.

Seaford’s Premier Clinic

SKIN CLINIC

Jo’s latest piece, funded and installed into the ancient parameter flint wall by Seaford Quakers in June this year simply says ‘forgive’. The word ‘forgive’ has many definitions in the English Dictionary but the one I like best is ‘to give up resentment’. It is only when we let go and free ourselves from resentment, anger and grudges – real or imagined – that we find space for our own inner peace.

Some may argue that certain crimes and misdemeanours can never be forgiven – and anyway, who would be arrogant enough to claim perfection by judging another? But when we harbour resentment we punish ourselves – and an ‘eye for an eye’ does nothing more than make the whole world blind.

Seaford Peace Garden is located within the public space of Crouch Gardens, right in the heart of Seaford, just minutes away from the shops and beach. It is open every day from dawn till dusk.

At our July meeting, our speaker was Bill Walton from the RNLI. He gave a very interesting talk about the history of the organisation and in particular the story of the RNLI at Newhaven. Bill also answered a lot of questions during the talk, and subsequently invited the club members to have a tour of Newhaven station, at a date sometime in the future. The talk was followed with tea and biscuits, and our usual raffle. Our thanks go to Bill, who we hope will be returning to talk about his amazing bus trip! This month we are off on our summer mystery tour.

Additional members are needed to join the current committee to help run the Club, and new members are always welcome to join us or at the lip reading class, held on Tuesday mornings at St James’ Trust.

The Beet goes on

by Julian O’Vegetables

Being now well into the second half of the summer, there will be bargains to be had for fresh locally grown fruit and vegetables. Better still, you may, like me, be lucky enough to have your own home grown-supplies.

I’ve got lots of beetroot and will soon have lots of tomatoes from my allotment, so no prizes for guessing what’s getting pickled. No, it’s not me. The beetroot will keep for months in sealed, airtight jars. Kilner jars are ideal and 2 x 1 litre jars will be needed for this recipe.

Keep the jars out of sunlight in a cool place and this autumn and winter you could still be enjoying this tasty, simple dish which goes very well with smoked salmon and horseradish sauce. The passata is an ideal way of freezing tomatoes for later use in pasta sauces and so on. This recipe, from the BBC’s Good Food website, is easy but a little bland. I would be tempted to add some fresh basil.

Jamie Oliver’s Chilli pickled sweet & sour beets

Tomato Passata

Makes 800ml

Ingredients

1kg tomatoes, halved or quartered; 6 garlic cloves, halved; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 tsp caster sugar

Method

Put the tomatoes, garlic and olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cover and cook for 10 mins, shaking occasionally, until the tomatoes have collapsed completely. Season generously and add the sugar.

Remove the lid and boil for 5 mins until the garlic is soft. Allow to cool, then sieve the pulp. You can now pour into freezer-proof containers and freeze for up to 3 months, or pour into jars and keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. Or, you can use it straight away in sauces, soups and stews.

Enjoy!

Place the beets in a pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 30 minutes until cooked, then drain and leave to cool. You should be able to slip off the skins once they’re cool enough to handle. Halve or quarter any big ones, leave smaller ones whole. In a separate pan, add the vinegars and sugar. Halve the chillies lengthways and add to the pan along with a squeeze of lemon juice, the coriander seeds and a pinch of sea salt, then place over a high heat. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Spoon the beets snugly into jars, then pour the pickling liquid on top. Add a chilli to each jar, seal, and leave for a few days to infuse.
