Seaford Museum & Heritage society Seaford Museum is Seaford’s premier seafront tourist attraction which has over 5,000 visitors a year, yet it is run entirely by volunteers, around 130 of whom offer a total of over 10,000 volunteer hours a year.

The Museum is the responsibility of Seaford Museum and Heritage Society, which is a Registered Charity, (1158790). It was established in 1970 by a small group of local enthusiasts who, for the first few years, used a converted domestic caravan as its base, before moving into rented accommodation in West House.

Meanwhile, in 1978 Lewes District Council obtained a Lottery Grant to undertake the restoration of Martello Tower 74 on Seaford seafront, which it owned and which had fallen into disrepair in the three decades since the end of the Second World War. The renovation of the building finished, the Council looked around for a suitable tenant: it found a perfect match, an historic building and an ever expanding Museum looking for a new home!

Subsequently the ownership of the Martello Tower was transferred to Seaford Town Council. Recently a new 10 year lease was agreed, which has provided the essential security for the Museum Trustees to allow them to embark on a new phase of development, which it is hoped will include improved access arrangements.

Unfortunately, the Tower did not come with a dowry and the Museum can only run by raising the necessary money to pay the bills, and by attracting a wide range of suitable volunteers to support the various activities.

The Museum has no paid staff or consultants: generally speaking, if it can’t be done by volunteers, it doesn’t happen!

It’s difficult to describe a ‘typical’ volunteer at the Museum. There are a number of jobs to be done, for example the Stewards who are on duty whenever the Museum is open to the public; the craftsmen, DIY-ers and horny handed labourers who both look after the day to day maintenance of the Museum as well as building new exhibits; the volunteer archive team who make sense of the enormous range of artefacts, reports, papers, pictures, photos and books; the ‘money people’ who try their best to ensure the Museum doesn’t run out of essential funds it needs to keep running, and the housekeeping staff who battle with the 200+ year old building to keep it and the displays looking bright and sparkling for the visitors. Each and every year the Museum has to recruit new volunteers, not just to replace the few who move on but to allow it to expand its activities, and help make it more relevant to both Seaford residents and visitors.

On 11th July, the Museum will be holding a special session so that anyone interested in becoming a volunteer can visit the Museum to find out what opportunities there might be, and also discuss with existing volunteers and Trustees the skills and interests they have which might be helpful to the Museum.

The session will start at 10.00am and finish by 12 noon. For further information phone 01323 898222 on Tuesday or Thursday mornings, or check out the Museum website on www.seafordmuseum.co.uk

STAFFORD ROAD OPEN HOUSE

54 STAFFORD ROAD, SEAFORD BN25 1UB August 22nd, 23rd, 29th, 30th, 31st and Sept 5th and 6th. 11am – 5pm The Lewes Artwave Visual Arts Festival Open Houses begin a week early this year. The Stafford Road Open House is now in its seventh year and over 4,000 visitors have come through our door.

This year’s gallery of paintings, prints and photography includes work by Marion Prentice, whose special talent is to see patterns in landscapes. She loves the countryside and birds, both of which are prominent in her original linocuts and collagraphs. Emma Taylor returns with her limited edition prints and unique collagraph plates embellished with Swarovski gems, gold and weathered metallics. This year her new small printing plates will be released for sale! Kristina Steadman will show her paintings of Sussex scenes, British birds and butterflies, from which she also makes prints and cards. Bill Savidge’s acrylic and mixed media paintings are always popular, as are his workshops. Robin Shell has moved away from craft into painting on silk, collaged with glue, beads and anything else she can find. She is currently working on paintings of the sea in all its varied moods.

Sarah Gregson’s mural of Seaford Beach has withstood the winter weather and is still adorning our wall. Last year she brought matching tea towels to our open house. Come and see what surprises she’ll bring this year! Richard Walsh’s photography needs no introduction; his work remains original and ever popular.

The house is proud to announce that internationally famous illustrator of children’s books Jo Brown will be joining us this year. Jo will be selling small notebooks, papercraft and cards with her quirky, unique style. Nicky Auster who is producing delightful hand printed tea towels joins her.

8

There are makers without whom the Stafford Road Open House would not be the same. Liz Cottingham has gone mad with silver spoons! There will be new spoon ring designs, spoon handle rings, spoon handle earrings and spoon pendants! Also we can expect stunning silver bracelets and necklaces with semi-precious stones. Anne Pickering’s jewellery needs no introduction and will delight her many fans.

Heather Bigmore, creates individual, elegant, easy to wear pieces using both silver and enamel. Penny Oneill makes jewellery from new and found objects, buttons and old jewellery. This year she will be incorporating resinembedded objects in her designs.

Our makers include, Diane Costello who produces unique handmade bags in gorgeous colours and fabrics, individually decorated with buttons and stitching. And, Margaret Westwoods, whose vibrantly coloured silk scarves need no introduction.

For the second year running visitors can purchase locally sourced, hand-made soaps and candles from the Little Seaford Soap Company which proved so popular last year that she almost ran out. In the garden Vinyl Mike will be selling records for passionate collectors and those who enjoy music from the good ol’ days and Robin’s Second Chance Shed will have quality pre-loved clothes for stylish, discerning women of all sizes.

Having enjoyed all of this, you can sit back and relax with Wendy Rowcroft’s home-made cakes, cafetières of fresh coffee, tea and fruit juice in our extended garden seating area. As always we will have a children’s area with toys, games and activities.

We also offer a range of art based WORKSHOPS. So far we have three planned. SILK PAINTING (adults and children), WATERCOLOUR and MIXED MEDIA (adults only). Places are limited so please book early. For information and booking ring Robin on 07956 555688 or go to: www.stafffordroadopenhouse.blogspot.com Images from top:Work from Sarah Gregson, Marion Prentice, Kristina Steadman, Emma Taylor.

The Wooden Dish

Seaford Little Theatre This being a town much favoured by the silver generation, the audience watching Edmund Morris’ play was, it has to be said, on the maturer side of 50. For many of the younger ones in Seaford Little Theatre that evening the question of what to do with Mum or Dad might have begun to cause concern. For the older ones they were probably thankful that good health had kept them out of old people’s homes and able to see such a pertinent production as this. Set in 1955, it is about a middle-aged woman who is fed up with looking after her increasingly frail father-in-law in their house in Texas that is shared by her husband, daughter and a lodger. When she persuades her husband and his visiting brother to cough up to keep Pop in what he calls the poor farm, her spouse has second thoughts and her daughter is horrified.

All 10 of the cast played with Texan-accented assurance, but the standout success had to be John Hamilton as Pop, still in possession of his faculties but grown clumsy with failing eyesight and age. He excelled in a small part in the recent Portrait of Murder; let’s see more. In dialogue with Susan, the daughter, played with fire and empathy by Emily Barlow, he portrayed the betrayed Pop with moving dignity. Sue Shephard as Clara, the wife, was taking the part played by President Valerie Shepherd in 1968, a time when retirement homes, good and, um, not so good, were springing up all over town to cater for a changing society. I didn’t see that production – although Valerie,

12

who acted and directed many for the society, remembers it as her favourite – but I am not sure she would have approved of Clara’s girlish hairbands.

However, as a device to portray her desperate attempt to escape a joyless life by running away with the younger lodger, it had validity.

Alan Lade lived up to his reputation in the role of the visiting brother and should be congratulated for the three-part set that worked cohesively on the small stage and was rich with period detail. As Clara’s husband, Dennis Picott had an interesting role, one that required him to go from weak to suddenly strong and back to weak when the thwarted Clara dusted off her suitcase. It was good to see Peter Barnes brought to the front from his usual position backstage, playing the slightly creepy home owner with life-changing contract to sign. And Angie Wright as neighbour Bessie brought some humour to the piece and made you feel the heat of Texas.

But the last accolade must go to director David Parton who not only brought this play to the stage with sensitivity but also played Pop’s friend with avuncular pathos. And the wooden dish? It was Pop’s, so he didn’t break the china. You see, the ethics exposed in this play are just as relevant today. Andrea Hargreaves Photos by Andrew Parkinson

‘HOWZAT?’

Denton Community Challenge Saturday 6th June 2015 Thankfully this year the weather was kind, allowing hundreds of local people to get thoroughly stuck into all the activities. The theme this year was ‘Howzat?’ to reflect the forthcoming Ashes cricket series. This year nearly sixty local sports and social groups were represented. Many ran ‘sporting challenges’ around the arena, for a nominal charge. On completion of the challenges the younger participants claimed their ‘Howzat?’ rosette before enjoying a free burger from the Denton Scouts BBQ. Certificates were also issued courtesy of Gina Rogers from Active Sussex.

It was a pleasure to welcome Jim Parks, legendary Sussex and England cricketer from the ’60s and ’70s, together with Norman Baker, the recently retired MP for the Lewes constituency, who worked so hard for nearly twenty years representing local communities.

Together with Steve Saunders, Newhaven’s Mayor and his wife, our VIPs helped with many of the attractions.

In the arena were displays from Scriven’s Martial Arts and Seaford & District Dog Training Club, and dancing displays from Norcross Dance Centre and Up the Tempo Dance School!

There was also a drill display from 1218 Squadron Air Cadets, Seaford Musical Theatre Singing Princesses sang their way into the hearts of the audience, and Extend Exercise gave us a display. Then we had the CrossFit Corinthian Family Relay, and the Tug-of-War competition. Mums’ Fitness and CrossFit Training won their respective events.

Side shows and games were provided by Newhaven Cricket Club, Newhaven Tennis and Bowls Clubs, South Heighton Bonfire Society, Lewes Swimming Club, and others.

Fête stalls and attractions were provided by other local groups and charities including JDMF, HCPT (a charity

14

that raises funds to send sick children to Lourdes), Hayden’s Wish, MNDA, Remember Spencer, Easy Dine Catering, The Kitchen Garden Company, Seahaven Bird Rescue, DASH Football, Connor Saunders Football, East Sussex Fire and Rescue, IMAGO – Young Carers, NCI Lookout and Toothfairy Creations.

Gary English.

There was also a climbing wall and bungee trampolining, allowing our young people to try these exciting challenges at a heavily subsidised rate. Additionally there were the ever-popular pony rides. Running alongside the sporting activities there was a Craft Fair in the Denton Community Centre, organised by Danni Bruce, and a cake competition judged by our Mayor.

The organisers had been given two return tickets to New York by Virgin Atlantic as part of their monthly support of local charities. These were won by Terry and Tricia from The Close, Denton.

CONGRATULATIONS! Raffle prizes were drawn in the main arena by Jim Parks, who awarded the first prize of an Apple iPad Mini, donated by Keep It Clean Ltd., to Peggy Cohen, a local lady proudly in her tenth decade!

There were a further thirty plus other prizes in the mega raffle. The afternoon was drawn to a close by Rev. Louis Wilson, Rector of Denton Parish Church.

Denton Community Challenge is a committee of volunteers from Denton Church, the James Daniels Memorial Fund, FADS and local residents. ‘Howzat?’ was well supported by Newhaven Town and South Heighton Parish Councils, by local businesses and charities. Thanks go out to them for helping the organisers plan a successful, happy and inclusive day.

This report is dedicated to the late and greatly missed Amanda Wilkins, who was a founder and driving force behind this event. Bless you Amanda.

East Blatchington Lectures

Ollivers Restaurant CELEBRATE ANY OCCASION WITH US

A SPECIAL treat has been arranged for the next East Blatchington Lecture – a talk about one of the country’s most controversial kings.

The society is an international organisation with a membership of several thousand, and is open to laymen and historians alike. All that is needed is an interest in the life and times of Richard III, and perhaps a belief that history has not dealt justly with the king’s posthumous reputation.

11 Clinton Place Seaford East Sussex BN25 1NL. And what a life, what times. Although he only reigned Telephone: 01323 872111 for a few years (1483-1485) Richard has become one of the country’s most famed monarchs, not least because of the recent discovery of his skeleton beneath a OLLIVERS JUNE ADVERT.indd 1 09/06/2015 Leicester car park.

He has subsequently been given a royal burial at Leicester Cathedral, watched by television crews from all over the world.

NURSING HOME

Personalised care and support in a homely environment

Richard was a king of contradictions, a fascinating figure who may have been cast as a great villain by Shakespeare’s play yet is still beloved today, and in particular by members of the society. Dr Stone has been a member since 1976 and chairman since 2002.

This lecture will be at St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford, on Tuesday 7th July, at 2.30pm. It is open to everyone: tickets are £7, including refreshments, and in view of the attraction of the speaker, it is advisable to buy in advance from the estate agent Newberry Tully in Church Street. ** Footnote: by the way, some say that his last words were not, as Shakespeare put it, “My kingdom for a horse!” but the agonised cry “Treason! Treason! Treason!”

Seaford Resident Ruth Denton Celebrates her 100th BIRTHDAY in July I was born in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire on 14th July 1915. When I was three and a half we moved to St Ives in Cornwall. My father died when I was five and then we shared a house with a widow and two girls of my age.

I had lessons with a tiresome aunt, and then we moved to Oxford where I went to school. Later, I had four terms at a Malvern boarding school with a swimming pool, which I loved. Back in Oxford I helped run Girl Guide companies and camps in Dorset.

I enjoyed crafts and sewing and was able to do Church Embroidery Training at St Mary’s Convent in Wantage, finishing by making a Mother’s Union banner for a church in Leicester. I spent three months on a small chicken farm run by a retired naval Commander.

A typical day went like this: Start at 7am, let the chickens out, breakfast, feed the chickens, put eggs in the incubator, kill, pluck and prepare the chickens for the weekly market. I went home in my Austin 7 on Saturday afternoon until Monday morning to start all over again.

I started in Turby King baby nursing training in Highgate but at the beginning of the war I returned to Oxford to drive for the ARP and ambulances service. I joined the WRENS as a driver, starting at Rochester, then Alsager, Skegness and London. After a trial run I took the CHIEF WREN, Dame Vera Laughton Matthews, to the Foreign Office.

I had a hair-raising drive from Rochester in the blackout, with thick pea soup fog, in a van with hooded lights along the Old Kent Road. The tramlines were just visible and a Petty Officer was hanging out of the side window watching the pavement edge. I parked the van in the Admiralty car park, reported to the officer in charge and said in a very firm voice, ‘I am not taking the van back to Chiswick Garage tonight!’

On VE Day four of us set off for Westminster Abbey, walking the streets of London, Trafalgar Square, up the Mall, to Buckingham Palace – it was a never-to-be

forgotten scene and occasion. The King, Queen and Churchill appeared on the balcony to rousing cheers. We arrived back at our Quarters very foot weary, only to be greeted by a Petty Officer stating, ‘You are late and adrift!’ – didn’t she know it was VE day?

I was demobbed in March 1946 after two and half years.

Along with the Red Cross, Salvation Army, Quakers and others, the Girl Guide Association sent teams to work in old forced-labour camps set up by Hitler, housing refugee families from Eastern Europe. They were overcrowded, with whole families in one room on meagre food rations. Our job was to organise schools, clinics, entertainment etc. We also distributed extra food and clothing, much of it collected by Guides in England, Canada, Australia and the USA. The Poles and Baltics were anxious to keep up their traditional way of life in the camps. A few repatriation trains (cattle trucks) were provided for families wanting to return to Poland when it was safe to do so, and later emigration started very slowly to Canada, Australia and the USA – offering a new life working in hospitals, mines and forestry. After two and a half years I returned home for a brief spell back at the Baby Hospital in Highgate.

I travelled by flying boat to Kenya and Tanganyika to help a mother suffering from Polio with two difficult children – an experience – and returned home by boat through the Suez Canal in December 1950. Mother and I moved to Seaford.

I was Matron at Tyttenhanger prep school for five years until a guider friend persuaded me to visit them in Melbourne, travelling on the last passenger ship to go through the Suez Canal before the crisis. I also visited a cousin in New Zealand travelling by ship around the top of New Zealand to Auckland, where I received a great welcome and spent three months before returning via the Panama Canal to Southampton. I was Matron at Blatchington Court School for partially sighted boys (and later girls) for 20 years until I retired in July 1976.

My hobbies have included beekeeping, spinning and weaving, gardening, the Seaford Museum and walking on the Downs. I re-visited Australia and New Zealand, but this time by air. Now I am content to stay in Britain.

National Voluntary Arts Week Success!

The Barn Theatre in Seaford, East Sussex, organised and promoted performing and creative arts events as part of National Voluntary Arts Week, 15 - 24 May 2015.

The aim of the week is to shine a national spotlight on the wide range of creative groups and dedicated volunteers that make up the UK & Republic of Ireland’s vibrant voluntary arts sector – encouraging more people to connect with activity in their community and discover the joy of ‘taking part’.

The week kicked off with a colourful and entertaining music hall variety show Sussex By The Sea written and directed by London stage veteran, Graham Tubb at the Barn Theatre.

Neighbouring organisation, the Seaford Museum, based at the wartime Martello Tower, took part in the National Museums at Night project with an illustrated talk on Sussex Graveyards by acclaimed author and historian, Kevin Gordon. The Last Minute Artists Seaford art group presented a week long exhibition at the Crypt Gallery entitled Six Artists and a Dog including a design a postcard competition in several art mediums.

Brighton choreographer, Stuart Hall, held two dance workshops at the Barn Theatre, and professional actress and self-defence instructor Wendy Reed held a confidence building workshop using both drama and

self-defence techniques.

Rebecca Woolven from Becca’s Face Painting taught the basics of face and body art with creative and expressive styles, and writer Paula Woolven held a writing workshop for school years 3-6 and all entries were submitted to the Kallikids creative writing competition.

Seaford Community Cinema showed the film Interstellar on the large screen at the Barn Theatre, featuring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway.

Theatre taster open days were held for potential new performing arts members for Seaford Musical Theatre with read throughs for Anything Goes, a musical theatre quiz, tea and cake and basic song and dance rehearsals.

An open-air teddy-bears’ picnic and a comedy performance by Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist, Sam Jones, finished off the week’s events, which were enjoyed by over 500 people. The Barn Theatre hopes to repeat and build on this success in 2016.

Adder Sighted at South Hill Barn Seaford Town Council has been informed by a member of public that whilst walking her dogs on the concrete path to the south of South Hill Barn in Seaford, two of her dogs were attacked by an adder.

This sadly resulted in one passing away and another requiring urgent medical treatment.

The Council would recommend that any visitors to the site show caution, especially those with young children or dogs. It is recommended that in this area dogs be kept on leads as an extra precaution.

The Forestry Commission states that adders are relatively common in areas of rough, open countryside and are often associated with woodland edge habitats.

They are also less inclined to disappear into the surrounding undergrowth when disturbed and so are probably the most frequently seen of the three British snakes. The best time to see them is in early spring when they emerge from their hibernation dens.

Adders are protected by law against being killed or injured through human activity.

Most adders are distinctively marked with a dark zigzag running down the length of the spine and an inverted ‘V’ shape on the neck. Males are generally white or pale grey with a black zigzag. Females are a pale brown colour, with a darker brown zigzag. But some adders are entirely black and can be mistaken for some other species.

Adders are not usually aggressive animals, however anyone sighting an adder should treat them with respect and leave them well alone. If bitten you should seek immediate medical treatment.

MERCREAD YOUTH CENTRE As, hopefully, we move towards a sunny summer and many of our young people head towards the beach, we are setting up new activities for September onwards.

Many of these will be one-off events or short term ‘tasters’ and we are very keen to respond to what each age group would like us to put on.

After combined service of over 50 years Jane Spencer and Mary Sims have retired from the East Sussex County Youth Service, which is now a targeted service restricted to meeting the needs of particular groups.

Two sessions each week are currently provided at Mercread. Happily, both Jane and Mary are going to continue their involvement at Mercread, will be on our Committee, and plan to run some generic youth work sessions at the Centre. An open day is being planned in the Autumn for anyone interested in getting involved with the work of the Centre, and past members, friends, and potential volunteers will be especially welcome.

Keep a look out for the date!

Our very vibrant Youth Forum are as active as ever.

Thanks to a very generous donation from two friends who had celebrated their Ruby Wedding the Forum was able to host a Disability Awareness session, an encouragingly successful trial of a format which can run again in the future. They continue to be a voice for the town’s young people and, for example, represented us at the County ‘Inspire’ Conference and helped Brighton University with a Health Research project. At the recent town forum meeting an interesting link was formed with the Seniors’ Forum, and the first chain in the link is likely to be an across the ages session with Zumba as a focal point. Watch this space! We believe fervently that it helps to bring the generations together, not least to make us all aware of all that is going on and to share experiences and interests.

‘Wild Woodies’ summer holiday clubs Sussex Wildlife Trust is leading fun-packed outdoor activity days for children across the county throughout the summer holidays.

Piano Lessons

From bug-hunting, survival skills, camouflage games and rock-pooling, to arts and crafts from natural materials; there is something for everybody. ‘Wild Woodies’ may join in the muddy minibeast mayhem in the woods, or be shipwrecked on the shore and need to learn how to light a fire and forage for food. They might dip a net into the pond to explore the weird and wonderful creatures of the underwater world, or sweep-net the grassy meadow for interesting insects; there will be plenty to keep the children happy.

Wild Woodies clubs are running at Woods Mill Nature Reserve near Henfield; Stanmer Park, Brighton; Seven Sisters Country Park near Seaford; Rye Harbour Nature Reserve and Tilgate Park, Crawley. Children do not need to be accompanied by an adult as the clubs are fully supervised. Online booking is essential, for further information on age suitability, activities, times, dates and prices please visit: www.sussexwildlifetrust.org. uk and click the ‘What’s On’ tab or call 01273 497561.

A Good Read

Eating for England

By Nigel Slater Subtitled ‘The Delights and Eccentricities of the British at Table’, this is an extended love letter to British food over the last forty years. If you have fond memories of sharing a box of Black Magic at Christmas or spooning jam over school rice pudding, then this is for you.

Anyone who owns one of Nigel Slater’s cookbooks will know that there is as much pleasure to be had from reading the recipes as there is from following them. He writes about food with passion, knowledge and honesty, admitting his fondness for Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Smarties and other nongastronomic treats.

Here, he devotes short chapters (often no more than a paragraph or two) to a whole range of peculiarly British delights. Some are drawn from childhood memories, such as his father’s unsuccessful experiment with a coffee percolator (it ends up packed away next to the Christmas tree lights) or his mother’s blancmanges.

Others are more contemporary and tell of the delight to be had from a visit to the fishmonger or the ritual of a Saturday farmers’ market. All are well written, funny and evocative.

Whether you read this from cover to cover, or simply scan the chapter headings for whatever takes your fancy, this is a perfect book for thinking about food – and despite Slater’s reservations the last chapter will probably send you out to the shops for a packet of Pink Wafers!

Why is Snot Green?

By Glenn Murphy Want to see a nine-year-old boy (or indeed, a thirty-nine-year-old boy) reading? Well, buy a copy of this book and that’s what you’ll get.

In fact, you’ll get more than that.

Written by a member of staff from the Science Museum, this book answers those questions you’ve always wanted to ask – ‘Could you dig your way to Australia?’ (Come on, admit it – you tried to on the beach when you were seven), ‘Are people with bigger heads cleverer?’ and’ Why do we walk on two legs?’ for example – as well as some – ‘Do spiders have ears?’– that might never have occurred to you.

Each question is answered in conversational style, anticipating the reader’s responses and taking the explanation further. Whilst there is a fairly heavy concentration on the grosser side of science – poo, snot and gas feature heavily – there’s also plenty of technical terminology and you really do learn something new on every page. Even how to stop an ice-cream headache – so well worth a read for that alone!

Seaford Little Theatre Triple Bill The July production at the Little Theatre in Steyne Road offers three one-act plays by well known names. Alan Bennett and Alan Ayckbourn are famous for finding the funny side of a situation and the two short plays do not disappoint. Say Something Happened by Alan Bennett introduces an older couple who are not really interested in the help being offered by their younger visitor.

Ayckbourn’s Between Mouthfuls is set in a restaurant where the two couples dining share some interesting background. The third short piece is Thomas Hardy’s The Copyhold, a short story from A Few Crusted Characters, which has been adapted by one of our members, Adrian Bowd. It presents a tricky situation for a resourceful young woman. With three different directors and three different casts, we are using a range of the society’s talent to delight our audiences.

Friends of Seaford Little Theatre and prospective audiences are asked to note that Redgold Opticians will be offering Box Office facilities for this show. We are very grateful to Stitch for helping with this service over the last two years.

Don’t miss the Triple Bill from Friday 24th July to Saturday 1st August at 7.45pm. except Sunday and the matinee only performance on Saturday 25th July at 2.30pm. Tickets £7 for opening night, final night and matinee, all other nights £8. For further details see our advert or poster.

KING LEAR OPEN AIR PRODUCTION BY THE SYNERGY THEATRE The Synergy Theatre is delighted to be returning to The Crouch Gardens with its annual open-air Shakespeare production. This summer, we are performing one of Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies, King Lear.

King Lear, who realises that age is creeping up on him, is hoping to relinquish his royal responsibilities to his three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. In doing so, he is the unwitting catalyst for a family feud that will have fatal consequences. The Earl of Gloucester, meanwhile, is tricked into disowning his faithful son, Edgar, while putting all his trust into his illegitimate son, Edmund, who only has his own interests at heart. This is a family tragedy played out against the trappings of royalty.

Leading the company in the role of the aging king is Bob Murdock, last seen as Torvald in Synergy’s production of A Doll’s House, with Seaford actors Peter Linsdell as The Fool, Chris Church as Edgar, Joshua Impey as Albany, Donna Vaughan (from Seahaven FM) as Oswald and, in their Synergy debuts, Kay Wetherilt as Lear’s eldest daughter, Goneril and Harriet Wakefield as his youngest girl, Cordelia. All this home-grown talent is joined by some of the county’s most experienced actors. King Lear will play at The Crouch Gardens on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th July, before moving to Lewes (the old Priory, Cockshut Road) on Tuesday 14th, Wednesday 15th & Thursday 16th July, and the village green at Kingston – behind The Juggs – on Friday 17th & Saturday 18th July. All performances start at 7pm.

Rotary Club of Seaford Car Boot, Craft and Produce Fair 24th May

The Rotary Club of Seaford’s second Car Boot Craft and Produce Fair of the year was much more successful than our first, which was cancelled due to poor weather.

The sun came out as the public arrived, and with over 50 pitches taken, a very good day was had by all. There was a varied selection of goods and produce to purchase, with plant sales the favourite choice.

Our catering and ice cream vendors were also very well supported. The Club raised over £840 for its Charity, and we would like to thank all the pitch holders and the public for their continued and generous support.

Young Photographers Competition Another first for the Youth and Vocational Services Committee this year has been a Young Photographers Competition. Entries were invited from three age groups, 7 – 10 years, 11 – 13 years, and 14 – 17 years, under the theme of Light up the Community. Photographs were accepted in colour or black and white, either on photographic paper or in digital format, and competitors were advised to use their imagination to show their interpretation of the chosen topic. Faced with this challenge the photographs covered a wide range of topics and showed off very well the breadth of vision of the entrants in deciding what to submit. The Club is indebted to Nick Wiseman of the Seaford Photographic Society for kindly judging all the entries and to Barry and Nigel Trigwell of Fotobox in Broad Street for all the assistance they gave in helping the organisers through this new venture. The overall winner was Oscar Sodeau, who was presented with the first prize of £50 on Friday 5th June by Club President Ray Hazan. The two runners up were Elizabeth Duffy and Jamie Logan received Fotobox vouchers, and the entries of all three will be displayed in

the Fotobox window. All the other entrants were given a small award to encourage their interest in photography and in the hope they will have another go when the competition is staged again later this year!

Rotary Young Leadership Awards Phoebe and Josie were sponsored by the Club to take part in the recent district annual RYLA challenge, and on Wednesday 27th May they joined us for lunch to share some of their experiences.

Team work proved to be essential, as well as some degree of bravery! Phoebe was less than enthusiastic at the idea of ascending the high ropes and confessed that she cried all the way up. The trapeze was also somewhat scary, but she was clearly happier with the raft competition, in which her team won the Golden Paddle.

On the Wednesday of the week the whole group went to a Theatre in London for a breather, then back into the fray with rock climbing – they got to the top eventually!

Then on to abseiling where Josie was quite happy, Phoebe less sure.

Then there was the hiking. The plan was to be dropped off somewhere and get back to base 7 miles away.

Somehow Phoebe’s team managed to get back eventually after 15 miles. This time though Josie’s team were the winners. For the last night, they spent time with a big bonfire camping in tepees. Well done to both of them, we wish them well.

Inner Wheel Club of Seaford Although our Inner Wheel year is drawing to a close, President Mary and the Club were horrified by the devastation caused by the earthquake in Nepal and simply had to do something to help.

The Club wholeheartedly agreed to hold a crisis Coffee Morning at St Leonards Church Hall on Saturday 30th May. All available hands were ‘on deck’ to make cakes, collect bric-a-brac, collect plants, make craft items and cards.

Thank you to everyone who came along to support us and helped us to raise £650+ for the Nepalese. In addition we are so grateful to local businesses who dug deep to provide raffle prizes for the event. They are: Ollivers Restaurant, Shajahan Restaurant, Roy’s Liquor Store, Photobox, Costcutters, Bengal Palace, R & B Fish Bar, Spice One, Angie’s Newsagents, Diellas, Pet Care, and Osborne’s – traditional fish and chips.

Seaford Inspired Project

Seaford in Harmony CIC initiated a project in collaboration with Dave Faulkner, Head of Art Faculty at Seaford Head School. This project, called Seaford Inspired, brought professional artists, poets and musicians to work with the students at Seaford Head School. The project focused on the Arts, as inspired by our amazing natural landscape.

There were workshops with artist, Sarah Gregson, poet, Jackie Wills, and composer, Simon Birch, along with assemblies and a field trip, which included all the children in Year 7.

The project culminated in a concert involving the students of Seaford Head School in collaboration with the Corelli Ensemble. During the evening, the students’ works, created as a result of the workshops, were displayed to the public.

Dave Faulkner, Head of Arts at Seaford Head School, writes: The finale of the Seaford Inspired project took place on Saturday 9th May with our talented students demonstrating their passion and flair for the Arts to parents and the wider community. Local artists put up displays of their work alongside the Year 7 Art and English work, and the 6th form Enterprise Group sold their award-winning local landscape mugs. The music composed by our Year 9 students with composer Simon Birch was played along with photographs from the Year 7 field trip competition. The exhibition was a true reflection of the many varied artistic talents from the local area and really achieved the aim of showcasing arts inspiration from several generations of local residents.

‘The first half of the concert was hosted by the Corelli Ensemble. The most magical performances were The Lark Ascending (which featured London Philharmonic violinist and director of Seaford In Harmony Maeve Jenkinson) and a specially commissioned premier performance of Three Seaford Poems by local composer Simon Birch and poet Peter Martin. Media footage from the school media club enhanced the atmosphere and images were projected above the performers – a truly memorable experience for all. The Corelli Ensemble joined forces with the school band after the interval performing arrangements of Hometown Glory, Feelin’ Good and Beyond The Sea. Performances by singers Rose Meek and Harry Kirzynowski, and violinist Beth Geoghegan were outstanding as well as the school choir and samba band – both performing with confidence and energy. Prizes for the Year 7 work were presented by the Mayor of Seaford before the evening drew to a close.

This project has enabled our school to create strong links with many talented professionals and I hope we will be able to develop the project even further next year.

‘Thank you to everyone who supported Seaford in Harmony CIC and enabled this project to run.’

THE TASTY TORPEDO

by Julian O’Vegetables

Anyone who has seen mackerel in the sea, rather than on a fishmonger’s slab, will have marvelled at the speed of these small fish. A flash of reflected sunlight just below the surface before they disappear, launching their torpedo shaped bodies at anything that moves in the hope that it might be a smaller fish. All too often, what it thinks of as a snack is a fisherman’s simple lure – silver foil or even a bright feather attached to a hook. The mackerel is a bit of a numpty in the world of fish.

At this time of year they are local, plentiful and good value. Being high in Omega-3 oils they are healthy too, so it’s win-win all round. Except for the mackerel. Here’s two dishes I’m sure you will enjoy:

Barbecued mackerel with ginger, chilli & lime drizzle

(From the BBC’s good food site.)

Ingredients: 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 4 small whole mackerel, gutted and cleaned.

For the drizzle: 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil; 1 large red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped; 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped; small knob fresh root ginger, finely chopped; 2 tsp honey; finely grated zest and juice of 2 limes; 1 tsp sesame oil; 1 tsp Thai fish sauce.

Method: Make the drizzle by whisking 2 tbsp olive oil and all the other ingredients together in a small bowl,

adjusting the ratio of honey and lime to make a sharp sweetness. Season to taste. Score the mackerel on each side with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut the back-bone. Brush the fish with the oil and season lightly.

Barbecue (or grill) the mackerel for 5-6 mins on each side until the fish is charred and the eyes have turned white.

Spoon the drizzle over the fish and allow to stand for 2-3 min’s before serving.

Mackerel Pate

Ingredients: 6 fillets of mackerel, fried in a little olive oil until cooked and left to cool in the fridge. A small tub of crème fraiche, a dollop of creamed horseradish sauce, salt and pepper.

Method: Peel the skin from the fillets and break them up, then place in a bowl. Add the crème fraiche and horse radish sauce and crush the fish with the back of a fork, mixing until consistent. Serve with wholemeal brown toast. Enjoy!

SEAFORD CHORAL SOCIETY

Forthcoming Event: SUMMER CONCERT in Alfriston

It is now many years since the Choir performed outside Seaford and it was felt that this year it would be good to extend our season and sing in a different venue. As a result, our next concert will be held in St Andrew’s Church on Saturday 11th July at 7pm when we shall be performing a delightful selection of beautiful European Choral songs from across the ages, including works

by Monteverdi, Gershwin and Elgar. We shall also be singing, for the first time, a specially written setting of The Lord’s Prayer by the husband of one of our choir members. We are eagerly looking forward to a very special occasion in Alfriston and do hope that as many of you as possible of you can come and enjoy the evening..

Anna Tabor, our Music Director conducts and we shall be accompanied by Nick Milner-Gulland.

Tickets are £10 and £5 for children aged 16 and under, and can be obtained from Steamer Trading Cookshop, High Street, Alfriston, our supporters Newberry Tully Estate Agents, 53 Church Street, Seaford, or on the door on the evening of the concert: www.seaford-choral-society.com

area for the next generation.

One of their projects is Seaford Inspired – an innovative Arts project bringing together professional artists, poets and musicians and young people at Seaford Head School, to celebrate the beauty of our surrounding countryside. The final event of this project was an extremely enjoyable concert with the Corelli Ensemble at Seaford Head Upper School on 9th May. Seaford in Harmony has also developed a link with Community Transport in the Lewes Area to help people who are housebound, disabled and elderly to access public events from their homes to the event venue.

We were pleased to be able to hand over to Seaford in Harmony a cheque for £304, and on their behalf, the Choir would like to thank all those who gave so generously.

A HELPING HAND FOR ‘SEAFORD IN HARMONY’ Seaford Choral Society is proud to be able to help local worthwhile groups by raising money to donate at their concerts. Following their Spring Concert in St Leonard’s Church on 2nd May when The Creation by Haydn was performed to an almost capacity audience, the proceeds from the retiring collection were handed over to Maeve Jenkinson of Seaford in Harmony.

Seaford in Harmony was set up by Maeve to work in collaboration with a group of local artists and those interested in local Arts and natural heritage in order to preserve, share and secure the cultural heritage in this

Newberry Tully, where experience plus enthusiasm equals property success Every month local estate agents Stephen Newberry and Andrew Tully, from Newberry Tully, share their news, views and opinions on what’s happening in the local property market.

Stephen Newberry

Andrew Tully

I became an estate agent in 1971 and started our agency in Seaford in 1987. Since then the World has become a very different place. Indeed Seaford has become a very different place. Nearly thirty years have passed since I opened the doors to my new venture in the town which I’ve grown very fond of.

I suppose my family and I would fit comfortably into Stephen’s ‘Seaford Settlers’ bracket. We moved here in 2004 after finding Brighton and Lewes too expensive to set up home. I began working for Stephen in 2006 and seven years later we became business partners.

It’s hard not to love Seaford. A wonderful stretch of beach, close proximity to some breathtaking scenery, and above all I still think our town has retained a village ‘feel’. Take a walk down Broad Street and you’ll see something you don’t often see in places like Brighton and Eastbourne. On our main shopping street on a sunny day people will actually find the time to stop and have a good old chat with friends and neighbours. People are happy here.

Seaford’s a lovely town, often overlooked by people as they drive through on their way to Eastbourne or Brighton. As a parent to two young children the good quality of our local schools was a big plus point for us, as is the quality of life we can offer them here.

The biggest recent change I’ve noticed is the ages of many of our buyers. Ten years ago there were lots of couples in their mid 20s looking to get on the property ladder, buy a starter home and begin a family. Now we’re seeing more couples in the mid to late thirties looking to buy and establish long term family homes. I call them the new generation of Seaford Settlers and good luck to them all.

Stephen

Jeanne Peterson and Jenny Bowman make up our office’s quartet and they both live in Seaford. I’d like to think that our local knowledge, decades of experience in the industry, our passion for the town and our open and honest approach goes against the negative stereotype many agents are unfairly brushed with. I’m lucky to be in a job I enjoy in a town I love.

Andrew If you have any property related questions you’d like to ask our team please do not hesitate to call us or pop in for a chat. We’re here to help.

Concerned about your home being sold to fund your future care fees?

The Issue

You probably own your home as joint tenants if you are a couple and solely if you are single. For couples this means you own it wholly, jointly and severally. Ultimately therefore you do not own it 50:50 as you might have assumed. You actually own all of it together and when one partner dies the surviving partner owns it solely and absolutely.

It is sole and absolute ownership that enables a property to be taken into consideration as an asset by the local authority and puts the property in danger of needing to be sold to fund care.

The Reality

The Law (C.R.A.G - charging for residential accommodation guide) allows local authorities to assess your assets to determine if you need to pay for your own care.

Currently if you have assets above £23,250, you are on your own and require care, you will probably have to pay for it all - currently averaging around £800 per week.

Savings, cash and income would be used first and then your property would need to be taken into consideration. You would be expected to pay for all of your care until such time as your assets were depleted to below the £23,250 threshold.

You would then pay for a proportion of your care until your assets were below £14,250 - at which point all your future care would be paid for.

The Solution

For couples, simply by changing the way you own your property well in advance of any care considerations i.e from joint tenants to tenants in common and by setting up two Trusts within a properly structured Will at the same time will in most cases, prevent your home from being taken into account by the local authority altogether should you ever require care in the future.

70

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

For sole owners the process is simply to set up a Trust now and convey at least 1/2 of your property into it which will produce the same result.

The Reasoning

When you own your home as tenants in common you actually own half each. When the first partner dies, they leave their half into their trust. The surviving partner is the Trustee of that Trust and also the primary beneficiary which means that they have complete control over the property and what happens to it.

The children and/or whoever else is also nominated as Trust beneficiaries for that particular Trust will subsequently have access to that half of the property when the surviving partner dies. The first half of the property then is 100% securely in Trust for the beneficiaries and will not be at risk. As a result of this simple strategy the survivor is protected from having to sell the property to pay for their care should they need it because it is not possible to sell just their half of the property and the Crag guidelines clearly state that the market value of half a property is ÂŁ0. The second half of the property will then ultimately go into Trust for access by the nominated beneficiaries when the surviving partner eventually dies.

The beneficiaries will at that stage have both halves safe and secure in Trust and will be able to share and dispose of the property according to the wishes of the settlors (the original owners of both halves).

By leaving 1/2 the property into Trust on first death, the surviving partner can still sell the property to downsize if they wish and are not restricted in any way with regards to what they wish to do to or with the property - it simply means that it is safeguarded and therefore will definitely be able to be appointed to the chosen beneficiaries when the time comes.

For sole owners immediately conveying at least half of your property into Trust well in advance of any care consideration and becoming a Trustee and primary beneficiary of the Trust with others nominated to become beneficiaries after your death is usually enough to take away the risk of the property being considered as an asset to be sold if care is required as the property is not absolutely owned by yourself anymore and again it is not possible to sell half a house or force a Trustee to do something that is not in the ultimate best interest of the Trust beneficiaries.

SEAFORD AFTERNOON FLOWER CLUB Thursday 21st May saw blue skies and fluffy candy floss clouds when Jan Mason came to demonstrate her flower arranging skill. She only passed her Demonstrator’s Test recently, but her delivery suggested that she is already an old hand!

Her first arrangement had a Japanese theme with Phormium and variegated Ivy leaves, orange Gemini (small Gerberas) Leucadendron flowers and Hypericum berries. Secondly, a pedestal with crimson Calla Lilies, Morning Dew Roses, Tamarisk and Eucalyptus Sprays, silver painted twigs and Fatsia leaves, together with green Lysianthus. Two pseudo, silver candles completed the design.

For By the Sea a large silver cup had the fan Palm, Centaria Grasses, Eucalyptus twigs, silver sprayed

Phormium Flower Stem, Agapanthus and Tamarisk with seaweed, shells and netting. In the Woods was fashioned from a short trunk of Cork Oak which was found in the snake section of a pet shop! Tree ferns, strongly stemmed Clematis, Chrysanthemum sprays dyed bright yellow and shocking pink with green Lysianthus. Finally a bamboo vase shaped like an inverted cone had Aspidistra leaves and soft Phoenix Palm. Lilies dyed vivid blue, Mollucella, orange Gemini, Drucaenia leaves and white Michaelmas Daisies, the latter being marketed as September, 29th September being Michaelmas Day. Our July meeting will be a Garden Party at 36 Headland Avenue from 2 - 4pm. Tickets £4 to include a cream tea. There will be various stalls including a bottle raffle, a tombola and a plant stall. Bring your friends for a lovely afternoon out!

Don’t forget there are flower arranging classes at the Seaford and District Horticultural Show on 8th August.

GREAT NEWS: From our August Meeting on the 20th we are moving back to the Baptist Church in Belgrave Road!

FABULOUS FENCES AND SENSATIONAL SHEDS

with Seaford Home Hardware

We all have the desire to ‘fortify’ our homes, not from marauding invaders but more likely next-door’s dog and/ or their children. And to do this the method of choice is often fencing.

While timber fencing is comparatively inexpensive, easy to erect and doesn’t take up too much space, it does require routine maintenance. Anything that can make the job easier, cleaner, and less frequent is certainly welcome. Luckily Cuprinol, one of the market leaders in timber preservation products, has come up with the answer in the form of Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback.

At Seaford Home Hardware Seaford we stock the full range of Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback, together with many other excellent products designed to preserve and enhance the appearance of outdoor timber.

Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback has a wax-enriched non-drip formulation available in a range of eight traditional and Ashley Electrical is Ashleyrun Electrical is a family a family Ashley Electrical is run business, business, are we a we family run are fully fully insured, insured, NICNICEICwe approved business, are EIC approved and fullyPinsured, NIC andPpart registered. part registered. approved and There nono jobjob too too big ThereisisEIC part P registered. big or small.

feature shades to add a touch of style to any garden.

As the name suggests, the product offers weather protection for up to five years. Safe to apply around plants and pets, it’s quick drying, shower proof within just one hour of application and fully dry within 2 to 4 hours.

A couple of coats are usually sufficient to give longlasting protection to most new or previously treated rough sawn timber surfaces such as fences and sheds.

Proving you don’t always need flowers to add a real splash of colour to the garden, Cuprinol Garden Shades is available in a wide range of traditional, pastel and accent shades of colour protection products for sheds, fences and other garden wood. Its special pigments ensure a rich colour, while allowing the natural texture of the wood grain to shine through.

Cuprinol Garden Shades is suitable for use on smooth planed as well as rough sawn timber. It can be applied with a brush or with the Cuprinol Fence Sprayer or Power Sprayer, as well as the company’s innovative new 2 in 1 Spray and Brush applicator, and is touch dry within an hour under normal conditions. Both Cuprinol 5 Year Ducksback and Garden Shades are water-based products, so cleaning brushes and sprayers, is simple and involves no solvents or chemicals.

With the prospect of a great summer made for outdoor living, now’s the time to head down to Seaford Home Hardware where we can help you choose a wood preserving product that’s guaranteed to give a great finish, lasting protection and a splash of individuality to your garden timber products. Along with timber treatments to restore and protect decking we also stock brushes and a range of hardware products such as screws, nails and brackets should you need to carry out any running repairs before you paint.

RARE OR UNUSUAL VEGETABLES FOR THE TABLE

Hamburg Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) Hamburg Parsley is different from the common garnishing parsley because it is grown for it’s small parsnip-like edible roots. The flavour is said to be delicious and tastes like a nutty combination of celery and parsnip. Although principally a root vegetable, its leaves can spice up a summer salad.

Sow the seed from late April onwards in poor ground that has had no recent manure other wise the roots will fork. Germination can be slow so use a marker as a reminder of their position. Thin seedlings to 6-9 inches apart and avoid damaging the roots when weeding. They are quite hardy so need little attention. Harvest the white roots from early winter when needed. The roots should be washed but not peeled as they discolour and lose much of their flavour. The sliced roots can be fried or are excellent in soups, stews and curries.

Seeds are available from most UK seed companies including Marshals, Unwins and Suttons.

what

as often as possible. Continue staking or tie up plants as they get larger, keep dead-heading, especially your roses, and give plants a good mulch to maintain moisture levels.

Finally, find the time to visit other gardens, many local charities and organisations arrange open gardens in July and they can provide plenty of inspiration for you to take home. Enjoy this time of the year. Mother nature is providing a rainbow of colours in your garden!

o

uly is the month of high summer and the garden should be full of colour and fresh vegetables. The weather can get too hot so if you have to work wear a hat and use a good sunscreen. Alternatively wait until the cool of the evening especially before watering. The war against aphids will be starting so keep a lookout for the first signs of attack. Encourage natural predators into the garden or stock up with appropriate sprays from the garden centre.

JOBS TO DO IN JULY

A few more jobs that won’t wait!

3 This is the best and safest month for

pruning plum trees.

3 Prune grape vines of excess foliage.

3 Disbud appropriate plants for larger

blooms.

3 Start to harvest ripe fruit for the freezer or making jam.

3 Check ponds have plenty of water to avoid low oxygen levels.

Seaford Gardening Club At last summer has arrived! What a pleasure to sit in the garden with a book, cup of tea or just to potter.

Hopefully the good weather will continue for a while.

Laurie Manser, our speaker at the May meeting, gave an amusing talk entitled ‘Gardening in the Old Days’. We have had many talks by Laurie over the years but he has now made the decision to give up as he would rather go out on a high with the knowledge still intact!

He began his talk with the history of his life of gardening within private and public gardens and all the different people he had worked alongside. Suttons Seeds gave him a diary many years ago in which he has jotted down advice, stories and much knowledge obtained over the years so he has been able to pass on the stories etc. to his audiences.

Laurie told us that gardeners once used cyanide as a pest control – just a couple of spoonfuls sprinkled in the greenhouse did wonders. Mind you, it was a case of making a quick exit! Health & Safety would not allow it these days, thank goodness.

A few tips he gave us: If a bee stings you do not be tempted to rub or pat it as by doing so you would press the sting in further and then it would be hard to remove. l

Always water your garden plants from the top – after all rain enters pots and soil that way.

l

Wooden labels are better than plastic ones as they eventually become brittle with age and also the writing disappears from them.

l

Use the compost which suits your needs – preferably a homemade mixture.

l

When he appeared on quiz shows the ‘experts’ would quite often differ on the advice they gave their audience but they always respected Laurie’s contributions to the shows. I wish I could have written down all Laurie’s funny stories and advice – we will miss him giving us talks about his life of gardening.

The club closes for the summer break in July and August, but the new programme of talks will be available at our meeting on Wednesday 30 September. Watch this space in the July and August issues of Seaford Scene for information.

There are still seats available on two outings – 5th September to Green Island Garden in Essex and an autumn visit to Sheffield Park on 14th October. Non-members are welcome to join us – just phone Anne Silk on 01323 491331. Further information on the club’s activities is available by phoning the same number or visiting the website www.seaford-sussex.co.uk/sgc. A happy summer gardening to you all.

By the time you read this the Mayor’s Garden Trail will be a distant memory of nine beautiful gardens including ours to visit, but for the owners of those wondrous places there will also be reminders of the huge amount of hard work needed to achieve their look of timeless beauty. We at Seaford Community Garden appreciate only too well how much hard work has to go into presenting what is akin to a stage production for a day, but the great thing about our setup within the Crouch Gardens is that all the volunteers pile in together and get the chores done in an atmosphere of fun and chatter… oh, all right, gossip – even pot washing in cold water is bearable if there are several of you doing it together while swapping news about friends and the community. Likewise the weeding:

Green Waste Recycling Service

squatting with creaky knees for an hour or so isn’t half so bad if there’s a friend just along the border, and you know that someone will possess the horticultural info to tell you what’s unwanted and what is actually a seedling.

And of course, as all gardeners are only too well aware, those weeds, however much you think you’ve eradicated them, will keep re-appearing – where do they get the energy? It must be something in the soil – so we’ll have it all to do all over again for 25th July, the start of the Macmillan Trail. After all, we’ll want to present a pretty, pristine garden because it is going to be expected by TV gardener Christine Walkden, who has promised to visit.

So let’s hope the broad beans will be fat enough for harvesting, the runner beans will be ramping up their poles. and the courgettes will be plump and shiny. Hopefully she will be impressed to see that the majority of the plants for sale will be labelled and priced, that the tomatoes are growing free from blight in the poly tunnel, along with chillies and peppers, that the cut-and-come-again leaves and herbs are continuing to do well and that the show beds are a riot of colour and form. We look forward to seeing you on that Saturday, and on Saturdays after that we will be open during the harvesting season from 10am until noon as well as on our normal Wednesdays from 9.30am until 12.30pm.

We look forward to seeing you and enjoying a pleasant exchange of garden news and… er… gossip.

Hard of Hearing Club Lip Reading Classes

A big thanks to the Martello Rotary Club for loaning us their Bingo Machine so we could run our Games Afternoon!

Jill Allen, our Social Secretary, did a great job in calling the numbers and, for the more profoundly deaf amongst us, the machine had a very helpful visual display of large bright blue numbers. The winners were delighted to receive a bag of sweet treats as their prize. A Beetle Drive, Dominoes and Scrabble, and a range of Oldie but Goodie Games were also played. A fun, friendly and relaxed afternoon was had by all.

The Hard of Hearing Club meets on the first Friday of the Month at St James’ Club House in Blachington Road, Seaford. The next meeting will start at 2.15pm and we hope to see you on Friday 3rd July.

Our speaker will be Ann Wilson from the Friends of Eastbourne Hospital. She will talk about their volunteering and fundraising work.

Don’t forget if you need a lift to the club on the minibus please give Pauline a ring on 01323 895216 by noon on 2nd July.

Once again we are inviting those who are partly or profoundly deaf to come and join our Lip Reading class at the Baptist Church, Belgrave Road, Seaford. It starts at 10am on a Tuesday morning, with lessons normally being held during the school term. You’ll get some great help from our teacher, Gill Houghton, and find out that we really are a friendly bunch. Lip reading can be exhausting, especially when you are a newcomer. Don’t worry about it though; we have a break mid morning when you can grab a tea or coffee along with a biscuit. Keep an eye on your biscuit though; we have a thief in the class by the name of Nellie, Gill’s black Labrador Hearing Dog! Six lessons cost £21 and that includes admission to the Hard of Hearing Club Meetings. Call Jenny on 01273 585339 or text her mobile 07968 043944 if you would like more information or someone to welcome you at the door.

Testimonial

Being moderately deaf the Tuesday morning lip reading class, which is now held at 10am at the Baptist Church in Belgrave Road, has helped me in many ways.

Our lessons are not just about learning to lip read.

For example, if we are going out for a meal we are taught to find a restaurant with soft furnishings. The furnishings absorb other sounds and allow us to join in a conversation more easily. Gill Houghton, our teacher, also suggests we sit with our backs to a wall.

Sound bounces off the wall and hey, presto, it enters our hearing aids – which are behind our ears! It seems that light also plays a big part in hearing – we need to check out that the light is good enough for us to see the facial expressions of the person we are talking to.

In this way we pick up body language and gain further understanding of what we think is going on.

By taking these steps I can maximize the acoustics and allow them to work in my favour. In my case, by positioning myself correctly it is not always necessary to lip read. On most occasions I can hear what is being said sufficiently clearly. I must admit that the actual process of lip reading is almost plan B and only necessary if the former strategies don’t work. Anyway, the teacher makes every lesson so interesting, I really look forward to them.

Anyone for Tennis?

became ‘open’, meaning that professionals could finally enter.

A broken pony-roller belonging to the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club was the catalyst which led to the birth of the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world: Wimbledon. When the roller broke in 1877 the members decided to hold a lawn tennis competition to raise funds for repair. There were 22 male competitors who each paid a one guinea entrance fee. The champion was 27-year-old Spencer Gore who won 12 guineas and yes, it did rain on the day of the finals!

The British dominated The Championships, as they are known, for the first 30 years: Ernest and William Renshaw, and Laurie and Reggie Doherty were national heroes. But our winning streak didn’t last.

Until recently the last British man to win at Wimbledon was Fred Perry in 1936. He won a hat trick of titles just before the Second World War. Then, in the glorious summer of 2013 Andy Murray finally brought the title home to Britain and won the heart of the nation.

It’s Wimbledon fortnight

In spite of the weather, the competition was such a success that it became an annual event. In fact there have been only ten Wimbledon-free years since that first competition: four years during the First World War and six during the Second World War. At the start the only event was the gentlemen’s singles.

Then, in 1884 the ladies’ singles and the gentlemen’s doubles were added, followed by the ladies’ doubles and the mixed doubles in 1913. Only top-ranked amateurs were allowed to play until 1968, when the tournament

He’s on a high this year having married his fiancé Kim Sears in the spring. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he made this a real fairytale year and won Wimbledon again?

Wimbledon: Fascinating Facts

The first black person to win Wimbledon was a woman, the American Althea Gibson, in 1957 and 1958. The first, and only, black male to win was Arthur Ashe, who beat Jimmy Connors in 1975.

The last British woman to win Wimbledon was Virginia Wade in the silver Jubilee year, 1977.

It is the only tennis competition where players are required to wear all or predominantly white clothing. In 2002 Anna Kournikova had to change her black shorts for white ones on court!

Every year about 27,000 kilos of strawberries, 7,000 litres of cream, 60,000 pints of Pimms and 14,000 bottles of Champagne are consumed by spectators during Wimbledon.

Running Commentary...

It was as far back as the eighteenth century – a time when Robert Walpole became our first Prime Minister and James Cook was discovering New Zealand, that running a mile competitively began, prompted, it is believed, by the gambling fraternity, with winning times being invariably around the 5-minute mark. By the time of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 the record for a mile stood at 4mins 15secs. In the early part of the twentieth century the popularity of the mile grew quite substantially while at the same time, the belief that it was humanly impossible for someone to break the 4-minute barrier, increased too.

However, on a wet and windy evening on Oxford University’s Iffley Road cinder track on the 6th May 1954, Roger Bannister stunned the World by breasting the finishing tape in 3mins 59.4secs. Although many runners have now broken 4 minutes and the record has been reduced a further 18 times to stand at 3mins 43.13secs (by Hicham El-Guerrouj) it is still a revered event throughout the World and held in higher regard than the 1500 metres. Less well known is the achievement of Diane Leather who just three weeks after Roger Bannister’s feat, became the first lady to break the 5-minute mile barrier. The women’s world record is now 4mins 12secs. Statisticians might want to point out that while the men’s record has dropped 16 seconds since 1954, the women’s record has been lowered by 46 seconds, suggesting a possible first sub-4 in the next 10 or 15 years.

While my love of marathons and other long distance races has been clear to see in the Running Commentary articles that I’ve written, it was the magic of the mile that first opened my eyes to the enjoyment of running.

Intriguingly, when Roger Bannister was 17 his PB for the mile stood at just 4mins 52secs, which was exactly the same time as my best at that age. Thereafter, sadly, our futures went in different directions… and at different speeds and distances… C’est la vie!

With guaranteed good running weather in July, it might be a good time for all of us to revisit the mile, or for beginners to make it their first target. So, I would like to suggest three possible 1-mile routes to try.The first, which is all flat or gradually downhill, starts at the entrance to Mark Close and goes all the way down Chyngton Way, onto Chyngton Road and along a small bit of Steyne

Road to as far as the first entrance to the Lower School.

The second route, an off-road one, starts at the Yacht Club Café and heads west along the gravel and rough track to Newhaven’s East Pier. The third route, and one that could also be tackled by mums or dads pushing a jogging buggy, begins by the first beach hut at Splash Point and finishes at the noticeboard by the car park opposite the sea end of Edinburgh Road.

If running just one mile doesn’t appeal, then why not include one as part of a longer run or do all three routes mentioned, then compare the time for each one?

However, if you’re a long distance and quirky event junkie, why not try the Lunar-tic Marathon at Shoreham on the 25th July. It starts at 8pm, has three laps, which will mean you’ll do one in daylight, one in the dusk and one in the dark, and requires runners to wear a headtorch and jacket, and carry a fully-charged mobile phone… good luck!

Fundraising Day for the Striders For many years the Newhaven, Peacehaven and Seaford (NPS) Lions have, with the help of the Seaford Striders Running Club, organised the ever popular Seaford half marathon.

First across the line was James Wright in 1:26:19. First Strider and 9th place overall was Joshua Rudd 1:34:32 who smashed last years’ time by nearly 45 mins. Billy Moakes (right) was hard on his heels in 12th position 1:38:09.

Next came great efforts from Tony Cross 1:48:12, holding off Scott Hitchcock (left) 1:58:21. This was Scott’s first attempt at this distance and clearly shows his quality. Karen Clinton always delivers and recorded 2:13:22.

The monies raised are used for charitable purposes, and whilst maintaining an understated feel, this race attracts rave reviews for its wonderful scenery, varied terrain, welcome water stations and enthusiastic marshals. This year’s event took place on Sunday, 6th June with five adult Striders competing on home territory, whilst the juniors, together with their mums and dads expertly ran the Bishopstone Water Station. Yet more Striders took up their marshalling duties by manning the very busy road junction across the A259.

Six Striders headed west on the same day to compete alongside over 1,600 other runners in the Worthing 10K, another fundraising event, with the main beneficiary being St Barnabas House Hospice.

Starting on the seafront the mainly off road route around Seaford takes in some spectacular views over the Weald from the South Downs, as well as the beautiful downland village of Alfriston, the Cuckmere Valley and the coast.

This is an improved out and back course, which starts on Worthing seafront and travels to and from Goring.

Being so straight and flat this race is fast but the heat and very little in the way of a breeze was a factor, which sadly caught out some runners.

First to activate the chip timing was Haywards Heath Harrier, Chris Smith in 30mins 52secs.

The first two Striders home always deliver and they certainly didn’t disappoint with Simon Fletcher finishing 2nd in his age group and 12th overall in 35:45; followed by Phil Robinson 40:55.

They were followed by Claire Keith (above) in an inspirational time of 46:35 and underlying her return to top form. It was good to see Jackie Webber returning from injury 52:58. Also giving their all was Chris LeBeau 52:30 and Hilary Humphreys 56:14 (photo l-r). The performance of the day was however reserved for Bianca Buss in her first ever race and clearly showing her potential finishing in a time of 56:26.

Hamster, Lemming, or Human?

A Rough Guide to Couples Counselling in the 21st Century

By Tom Lockyer, the resident Couples Counsellor, at ‘The House’ in Seaford.

The human race has been managing to get along fine without Couples Counselling for quite some time. So how come we need it now?

Well, the times, they are a-changing. We try, daily, to manage the seemingly ever-increasing burden of demands from our work and yet still find time to meet the needs of our family and ourselves; all the while being endlessly invited to drool over the lives and loves of the rich and famous and delight in their falls from grace, bombarded and seduced by images of air-brushed, touched-up ‘gods’ and ‘goddesses’, and all this when the old structures of community and religious practice, that often gave us the spaces and individuals who might offer good counsel and support, have fallen by the wayside.

Whoa! Let’s take a breath… just for a moment. Don’t worry, the hamsters will still be going round and round in their wheels, and the lemmings running over the cliffs when we get back.

What makes for a happy, well-lived life?

You, me and every other human being on this planet are the most remarkable fruits of love, or if not love, then certainly of a relationship, whether short or long, good or bad. In having someone alongside us in whom we can trust and depend, we create for ourselves a safe haven where we may grow and find contentment.

Falling in love is like having a magic spell cast upon us which we are powerless to resist… and why would we want to? The marriage vows gently alert us to the challenges that lie ahead: ‘for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.’ Life is a rollercoaster ride and it’s how we treat one another in the ups and downs that will make the difference.

And now, given the pressures and expectations we put upon ourselves, then it’s no surprise that there are times when we struggle to understand our partner’s behavior, and maybe even our own. And sometimes behaviors, like having an affair or being on the internet for hours, are the symptom of an underlying issue rather than the issue itself.

Sex, paradoxically, is often a source of unhappiness in relationships. The bedroom is the place where the distance between us becomes most painful. Finding the words to bridge the gap, to get to the root of the problem, can be difficult. We may find ourselves getting lost in angry sulks or confrontations, left feeling neglected, rejected or even abandoned by those we once held dearest.

By papering over the cracks, leaving the issues that have surfaced unaddressed, we will probably find ourselves months or years down the line and like the hamsters in the wheel, repeating the same old, same old, or like lemmings, blindly going on regardless to painful and bloody endings.

We can get off the wheel. We don’t have to run-off the cliff. We can do something different. Really we can.

Couples Counselling provides a space and a structure to do just that. The process may be challenging, but then changing the way you live your life and express your love, for the better, has got to be worth the effort, hasn’t it? Given commitment and a professional therapist, the counselling room becomes a safe-enough place to voice your fears, doubts and frustrations: to be heard, to explore what you want and need from your relationship, to define mutually acceptable goals and work together to re-build the relationship, or to end it with grace.

Hamster, lemming, or human? Who are you going to be today?

Sunscreens Do you know your factor 8s from your factor 30s and your UVA protection from your UVB? Browsing a display of sunscreens can certainly be confusing, so here’s a little help.

First to the basics: how do sunscreens work? Sunscreens, also commonly referred to as sun block, sun tan lotion and sun cream, are products that contain a combination of ingredients which help to prevent the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the skin.

There are two types of radiation, UVA has longer wavelengths and can cause lasting skin damage, skin aging and skin cancer, because they are not absorbed by the ozone layer and so can penetrate skin deeply, potentially causing the most harm. UVB has shorter waves, is partially absorbed by the ozone layer but can still cause sunburn and also skin damage and skin cancer.

Most products focus on protecting against UVB rays, but those that describe themselves as broad spectrum provide protection against UVA and UVB. Sunscreens both absorb and reflect the sun’s harmful rays.

You will see the expression ‘sun protection factor (SPF)’ on products. This is a measure of the products ability to prevent UVB from damaging the skin. For example if your skin would usually start to redden in the sun after 10 minutes, using a sunscreen with a factor of 30 suggests that you will not redden until you have been in the sun for 30 times as long as that which is 300 minutes. You should remember that this is only a guide.

You will also find additional guidance about which factor to choose depending on how fair your skin is as the fairer you are the faster you will generally burn. The time of day you are out will also have an impact. For

example protection won’t be as good if you are exposed to full strength mid day sun compared to early morning rays. You should also remember that you will need to reapply sunscreens regularly throughout the day.

There are a huge range of products to choose from.

Sunscreens now come in lotions, creams, gels and oils.

Many have additional ingredients to make them smell nicer, be water resistant, show up as a colour or be easy to rub in. There are also special varieties developed for the face and lips.

One final thing to remember is that certain health conditions and medications can make a person more sensitive to sun exposure, so you might need to use a higher SPF if on antibiotics or antihistamines for example. If you are on medication it is best to seek professional advice. By Susan Brookes-Morris

MaCMILLAN Garden Trail The weekend of 25th and 26th July sees the 4th annual garden trail raising money for the new Macmillan Horizon Centre in Brighton. This year the 25-garden trail stretches from the east of Brighton to the west of Eastbourne.

There will be 3 gardens opening their gates in Seaford and on Saturday 25th at 11am, the patron of the trail, celebrity TV gardener, Christine Walkden, will be on hand in the garden of trail organiser, Geoff Stonebanks, at Driftwood, 4 Marine Drive to officially open the 2015 event! New local MP, Maria Caulfield, will join Christine too! It is hoped Christine Walkden will be able to visit some of the other gardens on the trail as well. The other two gardens opening in Seaford are Mary and David Holland’s much acclaimed small courtyard plot at 9 Kingsmead. David will also be selling his unique driftwood pieces and taking orders for bespoke plant tables. Seaford Community Garden will also be open on Saturday 25th only.

Besides Seaford there will be 4 gardens in Eastbourne, East Dean and Friston, 5 in Brighton, 7 in Peacehaven and 5 in the delightful villages of Rodmell and Swanborough!

All monies raised from the trail go to Macmillan Cancer Support and Geoff ’s Driftwood Fundraising Group, which through the generosity of visitors has donated £23,700 to the charity in the last 4 years! The event takes place over the weekend of the 25th and 26th July between 11am and 5pm on both days and tickets can be purchased in any garden, priced at £2 per garden or buy a £7 day ticket on either Saturday or Sunday!

Full up to date details of the event can be found on the web site www.macmillangardentrail.co.uk or by contacting Geoff on 01323 899296.

Seahaven Lioness Club We have started our Saturday stalls in Broad Street now and hope to be there every other week, weather permitting. If you have any bric-a-brac to donate please let us know – contact details below – and we will arrange to pick it up.

Our lucky receipt draw in Sainsbury’s, Newhaven, was very successful and, after paying out £75 to the winner, made about £225 for Newhaven Lifeboat. Thank you to the many Seaford residents who supported us by buying tickets.

Sorry you couldn’t all be winners! The photo shows Sainsbury’s Duty Manager with the winning ticket.

Unfortunately our Car Boot Sale in Peacehaven, which was supposed to be on Sunday 26th April, had to be cancelled due to the dreadful weather. This was a

great pity as we normally make quite a lot of money at this event.

Friday 8th May saw us once again tripping the light fantastic to the music of Ded Efnik at a Barn Dance, which has become a regular feature of our fundraising calendar. We had to change the venue this year to Chyngton School, as the Constitutional Club was expecting to start major building works. It wasn’t quite as well attended as previously but those who came seemed to enjoy themselves. The profit was £148, which the Club agreed to round up to £200 and a donation of this amount is going to Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice.

Our next big fundraising event will be on Tuesday 18th August, when we are again hosting afternoon tea at Seaford Golf Club (Firle Road). This was a very popular event last year, so hopefully will be as well supported this year. Proceeds will be split between Lioness charities and Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance Trust, who will be sending along a speaker to give a short talk about the charity’s work. Tickets are £8.50 and can be purchased from Newbury Tully Estate Agents in Church Street or from Lioness Maggie on 01323 891750.

For any more information about these events or about becoming a member of the Lioness Club please call 0845 833 2796 or email lionesses@npslions.co.uk or become a Facebook friend.

SEAFORD KURLERS

Hello Seaford Scene readers. Seaford Kurlers are now well into the Annual In-House Tournament. Some members have already been knocked out of the running.

It will be interesting to see who wins.

On the theme of tournaments – Seahaven Lionesses hosted their section of the Annual Sports Tournament with the New Age Kurling section of the event at the Downs Leisure Centre on Saturday 16th May. 2015.

The winning team for the Kurling section was Adur East Lions Club. The overall tournament began in October, 2014 and there is still one section to be played. This will be the skittles event at Barcombe. This will be hosted

by Brighton Lions Club and will be played on 19th June, 2015.

Seaford Kurlers refereed the event and have done so for a few years. The Lionesses very kindly presented us with a cheque for £60 which we were pleased to accept (see photo). As usual the evening was great fun for us all. The staff of the Downs Leisure Centre were very efficient to clear the sports hall and help to set out all our equipment. Without this help, the task would be

Your visit is free and then after each session is £2.50. We also have an annual registration fee of £5. The activity is not too energetic but it can be. It all depends on how competitively you wish to play.

If you have mobility issues there is no need to worry as the game was invented for people with all levels of mobility and we can cater for them all. The beauty of the game is that all players have a level playing field.

Our club meets every Tuesday from 2pm until 4pm with a refreshment break.

Seaford Kurlers is a club formed under ESDA (East Sussex Disability Association). ESDA can give help and useful advice for people with many disability issues.

Their contact number is Eastbourne 01323 514500. As the club is affiliated to ESDA, we are able to hire their coaches for trips out. They are all adapted for wheelchair users and are hired out to ESDA clubs for a set charge.

All drivers are fully trained and very helpful. ESDA will hire these coaches to other clubs etc, at a higher cost.

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN AND SEAFORD LIONS CLUB After a couple of quiet months times are getting busy for us as we move into the Summer season. First up was the Blossom Trip for the elderly on 13th May. We took over 50 people on a coach trip round beautiful Sussex and stopped at the WI Hall in Bodle Street Green. Here the wonderful ladies of the WI provided a delicious cream tea for our guests. A good time was had by all.

7th June was one of our big fundraising activities, the NPS Lions Seaford Half Marathon. Starting on the seafront the route heads inland taking in Bishopstone village and is then almost exclusively off-road. A few stiles initially caused bunching in the pack, but the runners soon started to get strung out as they tackled the long climb to the South Downs Way. The views are spectacular on this part of the course and the route is shared with just the odd rambler and mountain biker before a welcome but tricky descent into Alfriston. Next is a stretch on a somewhat rutted path along the Cuckmere Valley to Exceat before one final climb to South Hill Barn. The end is then literally

in sight as the ankle twisting descent of Seaford Head is negotiated after which those having anything left in their legs had the opportunity for a sprint in the final mile along the seafront to the finish.

First across the line was James Wright (photo) 1:26:19. The first lady was Rose Baker, New Eltham Joggers,1:47. The run attracts good reviews for its wonderful scenery, varied terrain, welcome water stations and enthusiastic marshals.

The monies raised, about £5,000, are used for charitable purposes within the community. We have donated recently to the Coastwatch in Newhaven. We use our buses on a weekly basis for the Good Companions in Peacehaven.

Our future fundraising events are: l Peacehaven Donkey Derby, Sunday 12th July. We are looking for jockeys for this event, again look at our website if you want to ride. This event provides all the fun of the fair plus the excitement of Donkey Racing and numerous stalls. The event starts with the opening by the mayors of Peacehaven and Telscombe at 1pm. We shall be around Peacehaven delivering our programmes during the next few weeks. l Seaford Donkey Derby, Monday 31st August.

More details later.

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