In 2012 Laurie Holland, Ex- Mayor and Ex- Leader of the Council was awarded the Freedom of the Town along with Don Mabey M.B.E. who sadly passed away in December 2014 Laurie shares the honour along with William Pitt (The younger) and The Duke of Richmond who were both awarded the honour in 1789. Along with Don Mabey the only other recipient were the 210 Sussex Field Squadron awarded the Freedom in 1959.

Before parliamentary reform in 1832, freedom of the town conferred the right to vote in parliamentary boroughs for the MPs Up until the Municipals Corporations Act 1835 the Freeman were the exclusive electorate for the boroughs they served.

In modern society the award of Honorary Freeman tends to be entirely ceremonial, given by local government to individuals who have served their town in some exceptional capacity.

Photo: During a the unveiling ceremony of the honours board are (from left to right) Deputy Mayor, Cllr Rahnuma Hayder, Rodney Boon, Kevin Gordon (Town Historian), Laurie Holland (Past Mayor and Freeman of Seaford) Cllr Mark Brown (Past Mayor) Cllr Dave Argent (Mayor) and Seated Mrs Maeve Mabey, (widow of Don Mabey M.B.E. past Freeman of Seaford).

Seaford Striders have fun at their Annual Presentation Evening The Seaford Striders have a motto: ‘We don’t only run, we also have fun’ and they certainly lived up to their motto on Saturday when they gathered at the Seaford Head Golf Club for their annual presentation evening.

One of the main purposes of the evening was to present a charity cheque, using money raised from their annual Mince Pie Race, held each December in Peacehaven. This last event was particularly successful and a cheque for £2,000 was presented to SERV Sussex. This organization is run by volunteers, who provide a free night time and week-end service to NHS hospitals across Sussex. SERV transports organs, blood products, patient notes and other urgent consignments between hospitals; eliminating costly transport bills and allowing hospitals to focus their resources on patient care. For more information about this charity, please visit: www.servsussex.org.uk SERV Sussex has already tweeted the following message to the Striders: SERV_Sussex @SERV_Sussex Jan 30 A great day for SERV_Sussex today, with a cheque for £2,000 from @seafordstriders and £500 raised at the @Arndale_Centre - thank you so much

teenagers to runners in their late sixties, proving that age need not be a barrier to keeping fit and healthy.

The senior club meets at the Downs Leisure Centre on Mondays (except 1st Monday of month) and Wednesdays at 7pm. On 1st Monday of the month the Striders meet at the Lewes Running Track 7.30 – 8.30pm. The track event is free to members. Each club night contains a structured training session, whilst still catering for mixed abilities.

The annual membership costs just £16 for an adult with a reduced rate of £8 for unemployed, retired members and juniors. So whether you are a dedicated runner or someone just starting on the road to greater fitness, do come along, you will receive a warm welcome.

Saint Lewinna of Seaford

Easter later this month is still linked in Bishopstone with another event of long ago – the year 1058 to be exact, in the decade before the more famous Norman Conquest.

This involved the first female celebrity in the history of Sussex – St Lewinna (Leofwynn in old English; Sainte Lewinne in France; Lewinna, Levinne, etc, online). The event was the translation (or theft to be more precise) of her miraculous relics (skeletal bones) from St Andrew’s Minster, Seaford. This was to help establish the new Abbey of Bergues (St Winnoc’s) near Dunkirk.

St Lewinna is our Local Dark Ages saint, dating back to the late seventh century (about 670), when Sussex was still very much the last pagan kingdom of the South Saxons. If it were not for the translation

by Flemish Benedictine monks, however, and their Latin manuscripts to justify it, then she would probably have faded completely from history. This is because there is no Life of St Lewinna except for the tradition that she was a martyred Christian virgin.

There is no real trace of her here, despite several St Andrew’s

churches connected to the sea trying to claim her. The current historical and archaeological evidence, what there is, points to Leoffwynn’s shrine as being located once in what is now the entrance lobby to St Andrew’s Church, Bishopstone.

Once in France, St Lewinna, or rather her reliquary, went on a successful tour in Flanders before returning to Bergues, surviving fires and wars in the following centuries. Her last surviving relic (a rib) was then moved to St Martin’s Church in Bergues, where it is thought to have been destroyed during fighting in the Second World War. St Lewinna has therefore missed out on modern scientific analysis which might have cast more light on her. Nevertheless, she enjoys a summer feast day in both the old western and orthodox calendars and has even inspired house names.

The Saxon sundial with the mysterious name Eadric over the entrance to St Andrew’s, Bishopstone, is a continuing reminder of her Easter elopement as the French prefer to describe it. It was, however, not with Eadric, but with an opportunistic Flemish monk named Balger.

Does anyone recognise this house name (photo right) and know where it is? Please let us know by email to: fran@seafordscene.co.uk Ed and Biddy Jarzembowski Pictures by Ed Jarzembowski with help of Fred Clouter from top: Saxon church with entrance at E, CBA (Council for British Archaeology) report; St Lewinna, based on Medieval representation; St Lewinna’s reliquary at St Martin’s, by Maureen Collins; Ruins of St Martin’s, Bergues; Ruins of St Winnoc’s, Bergues; Alleged St Lewinna, Alfriston; Do you know where this plaque on a house is?

ANDREW DANDRIDGE ONE-MAN EXHIBITION 2016 in Seaford

and enchanting bluebell woods are perfect examples of his dedication and skills.

Andrew Dandridge, one of England’s leading landscape exponents, is holding his 24th ONE-MAN EXHIBITION on 19th March to 24th March 2016 at the Arts @ The Crypt gallery here in Seaford. Arts @ the Crypt is one of the gems of Seaford, a much desired venue for contemporary arts with a unique 13th Century Medieval Crypt, believed to have been part of a rich Seaford wool merchant’s house when Seaford was a thriving cinque port.

A successful artist with sales approaching 4,000 original paintings, Andrew remains modest and unassuming, clearly driven by his passion for the English countryside and all things marine, and a genuine desire to share his achievements with the growing number of his followers.

Andrew’s studio enjoys a dramatic vista over the sea as well as the eastern aspect of the new South Downs National Park, providing him with an endless source of inspiration for his much loved watercolour paintings.

The unveiling of his new collection on 19th March will reveal many months and countless hours of painstaking work from the hand of a true perfectionist. He strives each year to bring something new and exciting to his growing audience, walking, sailing and cycling many miles searching out new subjects to paint, thinking nothing of wading waist deep through snow drifts to find that most spectacular of views. His evocative winter landscapes

Full details of the exhibition can be found at www. andrewdandridge.co.uk and www.thecryptgallery.com Exhibition dates are Saturday 19th March to Thursday 24th March 2016.

Opening times are 10.30am to 5pm daily. Entry free.

student supports BBC’s Body Positive initiative Nicole Allen from Seaford, who is currently studying a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science at Sussex Downs College, has seized ‘a great opportunity’ to be involved in BBC Get Inspired’s BodyPositive initiative.

As a young woman living with Cystic Fibrosis, Nicole astonishes and inspires many through her energetic, active and overwhelmingly positive attitude to life which is detailed in her own blog ‘Living and Breathing CF’.

After responding to a tweet from the BBC campaign, Nicole has had an introduction video published on the BodyPositive web page and will be keeping a video diary of her daily life over the next six months which will also be uploaded. The campaign aims to create a community of people to inspire and empower each other to feel happy, healthy and confident by embracing what makes them unique.

Mike Hopkins, Principal and CEO of Sussex Downs College said, ‘This is a huge achievement for Nicole and a testament of her hard work and dedication to sharing her positive outlook on life. She is an inspiration already to us at Sussex Downs College and we are proud that through this campaign she can now be an inspiration to others across the UK and, possibly, across the world.’

‘Shave Santa’ Raises Funds For Childrens Charity Santa worked hard throughout December bringing joy to all the boys and girls. Now he has disguised himself to live amongst us throughout the rest of the year by removing his lovely beard.

During the interval of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, at the Barn Theatre, Seaford, on Saturday 23rd January, the best Sussex Santa returned to his inconspicuous alter ego, mechanic ‘Robert Horscraft’ until the next festive season.

Because of Robert’s snow white hair and real beard, which takes him four months to grow each year, children always stop him in the street, even when dressed in normal clothes, to talk to him about Christmas, and he always obliges by slipping into his ‘Santa’ persona.

A much loved Grandad of three, talking to children comes easily to the Seaford resident and he helps out at dozens of charity events in the winter season, including supporting Seaford Rotary who collect thousands of

pounds for charity on their annual ‘Sleigh Ride’.

The ‘Shave Santa’ event has so far raised £300 for Seaford Musical Theatre Juniors to host a fabulous ‘Just Because’ party for children who have suffered illness, such as cancer, bereavement or trauma and give them magical memories to help through harder times.

‘Just Because’ parties are also supported by Children With Cancer (Polegate), Teddy Treats Children’s Charity, Bob’s Retro Market and the Builders Club, Seaford. The shave was handled expertly by the owner of Seaford’s Shortcuts Barbers, Darren Reader.

You can still donate online at: www.localgiving.com/ shavesanta and watch the moment Santa lost his beard at – http://bit.ly/1ZMUZ9Y Photo: Santa aka Robert Horscraft right with Darren Reader of Shortcuts Barbers.

SEAFORD TO BENEFIT FROM DEMENTIA DRUG Seaford has one of the highest numbers of dementia sufferers in the country, but a major new breakthrough in dementia research could mean the disease becomes a treatable condition within a decade.

Seaford is amongst a list of areas with the highest rates of recorded dementia in the UK. Ranked joint eighth in the country by Clinical Commissioning Group area – 0.92% of the population in Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford have the disease. The areas with the highest diagnosis rates all have high populations of elderly people.

Two new drug treatments are currently being tested in clinical trials by pharmaceutical giants Eli Lilly and Biogen.

The antibody infusion medication is designed to destroy the build-up of amyloid, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. These are the first drugs to target underlying causes of Alzheimer’s, rather than simply mask its symptoms. Initial results suggest that one of the drugs slows the breakdown in mental function by 34 per cent, if it is given early.

‘Any progress in this area is incredibly welcome,’ said Nial Joyce, who runs dementia care centre, Clifden House in Seaford. ‘Unfortunately the number of people to suffer from the disease is set to rise as the population ages and the true number of sufferers is likely to be much higher than reported because only a third of people ever receive a formal diagnosis,’ he continued.

Professor John Hardy, of the Institute of Neurology at University College London, said: ‘I think Alzheimer’s will be treatable. I hope that by 2025 we will be able to slow the disease.’ Dementia is a challenging condition that requires the integration of tailored medical and social care. According to Nial Joyce, who has worked in care for people with dementia for 20 years, professional help and support can allow sufferers to continue to lead a fulfilled, even if somewhat different, life for many years post diagnosis. www.clifdenhouse.co.uk

SEAFORD SENIORS’ FORUM

“A non-­‐political and inclusive voice for older people; consulting, campaigning and informing across Seaford: working in partnership with other community groups and public bodies.”

At the forthcoming AGM, in May, there will be six retirements from the Committee of the Forum, after long and valuable service.

The continuing committee members need the help and support of new volunteers to fill these positions and help drive the organisation forward.

If no new committee members can be appointed, the viability of the Forum is in serious question.

Do you have enthusiasm for Seaford, and can offer a few hours a month to join us? Then you are invited to come to an informal meeting to discuss your involvement, and a possible active role on the committee.

Do you have secretarial skills, an interest in finance, or experience from your working life that could transfer to this group, which represents the voice of the 50+ age group in the Town?

If so, then you could be just the person that we are looking for!

The meeting is on Tuesday March 15th 2016 In the Council Offices (above the Tourist information Office) in Church Street Seaford.

2pm – 4pm If you are interested, but are not able to make this meeting, please contact Jon Freeman on 899256 for a chat and further details.

Archway Choirs land gig with the ‘rat pack of opera’ The Archway Choirs have beaten off stiff competition and have been selected to perform with the fabulous trio ‘Tenors Unlimited’ at the Eastbourne Royal Hippodrome on Friday the 18th of March 2016.

Under the direction of Jane Reeves (right), a selection of singers from choirs in Eastbourne and Seaford are currently in rehearsals for this wonderful show called Venice to Vegas.

Jane Reeves said, ‘we love doing this kind of thing and are honoured to have been chosen to perform with such hugely talented chaps.’ They will be performing songs such as Nessun Dorma, Time To Say Goodbye and a few others, as well as a song from their own repertoire. Tickets are available from the Royal Hippodrome Website. Archway Choirs are always looking for new members in all their choirs. Jane Reeves formed the choirs in 2009 and now has over 250 active weekly members – no audition, no need to read music.

A Drop of the Black Stuff March 17th is St Patrick’s Day – a celebration of all things Irish – and people around Ireland and throughout the world will commemorate it with a pint or two of Guinness, Ireland’s unofficial national intoxicant, with more than a 25% share of the beer market.

Arthur Guinness founded the brewery that makes the famous drink. Born in 1725 in County Kildare, Arthur inherited £100 at the age of 27 from his godfather, and three years later he set up business as a brewer. In 1759 he signed a 9000 year lease on a disused brewery in St James Gate, Dublin where he began brewing porter and ale.

Porter is a dark, well-hopped beer made from brown malt. Its history is closely intertwined with that of stout, a term which originally referred to a beer’s strength but which now refers to the drink’s body and colour.

Today’s Guinness is a dry stout available in a number of variants and strengths, including Guinness Draught, Guinness Original/Extra Stout, Guinness Foreign Extra

Stout, Guinness Special Export Stout and Guinness Bitter.

It is nicknamed ‘the black stuff ’ on account of its dark colour, although it is actually a very dark shade of ruby!

Now brewed in 60 countries and available in over 120, the first Guinness export was to England in 1769, and by 1824 it had become a worldwide brand. Sales soared from 350,000 barrels in 1868 to over a million eighteen years later. However, by the 1970s sales were in decline and the company decided to make Guinness Extra Stout ‘more drinkable’, resulting in a brand re-launch in 1981 with pale malt being used for the first time.

Contemporary Guinness Draught and Extra Light Stout are weaker than their 19th Century counterpart, with Foreign Extra Stout and Special Export being closer to the original in character. Modern Guinness has a burnt flavour and is famous for its smoothness and thick, creamy head.

The production of Guinness continues to change with the times. In November last year the company announced plans to make their beer suitable for vegetarians and vegans by the end of 2016, through the introduction of a new filtration process that will avoid the need to use isinglass found in fish bladders.

Claims have been made in the past that Guinness can benefit the heart by helping to prevent harmful deposit build-up on artery walls. It has also been described as a ‘meal in a glass’, and at 198 calories per pint, has slightly fewer calories than skimmed milk, orange juice and most other light beers.

So, I wish you a happy St Patrick’s Day, filled with friends, fun, smiles and a drop of the black stuff.

Seaford Hard of Hearing Club

The

Handy Team

The AGM of the Hard of Hearing Club was held during the February meeting. Discussion was made considerably easier by the portable sound system which had been borrowed from the U3A. Members were very grateful for this and have now agreed that a similar system will be bought for use at future meetings. It’s hoped that this acquisition will also make visits easier when listening to guides at outside venues.

After the business had been completed, members were entertained by the Seaford Handbell Ringers who played for over half an hour. The programme included well-known melodies such as Speed Bonny Boat, the theme from Beethoven’s 6th Symphony, the Pastoral. and an intricate version of Singin’ in the Rain. Members appreciated both the varied programme and the skill of the musicians.

The speaker at the next meeting will be Joanna Wilkins from the Sussex Archaeological Society talking about the Lost Village of Tide Mills. The Society has been undertaking archaeological work there during past summers. This will be an interesting talk about a place many people have visited but know very little about.

Join the F-Rated Revolution This month is International Women’s Day (March 8th) and Seaford Community Cinema is excited to be playing its part by joining a project that supports women in film.

The F-Rating is a new classification that highlights films which have a female director, screenwriter or character in their own right. So now you can vote with your seat and help support and encourage women in film both on screen and behind the camera! And to celebrate the day we are showing the British historical period drama Suffragette on Friday 11th March. Centring on Maud, a wife and mother whose life changes forever when she is recruited to join the UK’s growing movement, this is a film about women who changed the course of history.

Also this month we have director Nanni Moretti’s tragi-comedy, Mia Madre, in which her alter ego, Margharita, struggles to shoot a film while coping with her mother’s illness and daughter’s adolescence. This is the last of the current season’s films, so look out for the new programme of screenings from April through to July.

You can book tickets and sign up to our monthly newsletter at: www.seafordcinema.org And to keep up to date with the latest news and chat, join us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ seafordcinema

Seaford Afternoon Flower Club Our February meeting was a most enjoyable afternoon and consisted of an imposed workshop, where members were all given the same flowers and equipment and shown a design which they then attempted to recreate in their own style. There were some wonderful interpretations and the atmosphere, as usual, was friendly and welcoming.

This month’s meeting on March 17th is our AGM and presentation afternoon. We will be presenting our cheque to Headway, last year’s nominated charity.

This will be followed by a demonstration and tuition on leaf manipulation, which promises to be interesting and informative. Nonmembers are welcome to come along and if you enjoy yourself, why not take the opportunity to join our Club.

Our new and exciting programme of demonstrators and workshops starts in April on the 21st with a demonstration by Linda Brayne entitled ‘New Beginnings’. Guests will be welcome at the reduced fee of £2 instead of £5, which includes refreshments.

We meet on the third Thursday of each month (except January) at 2pm at the Baptist Church in Belgrave Road.Visitors are always very welcome. Contact Georgie Wall on 01323 490979 or Sue Ward on 01323 894848 for further details.

Seaford Downs Walking Football One Year On Running, sorry walking, since October 2014 at the Downs Leisure Centre, Seaford Walking Football club has proved a success. We now have a regular playing membership of 30, ages between 56 and 77, with an attendance every week of between 18-24 players. In the summer of 2015 we entered our first tournament in Eastbourne, an event sponsored by Age UK, although reaching the final, we were unfortunately beaten.

Not only a success for football itself but also for the club’s motto, Fun, Fitness and Friendship. Fun with playing football with various ages and abilities, Fitness, although only walking it helps with mobility, balance, strength and vascular improvement, Friendship, with the most members being strangers when first attending, become footy friends – not only enjoying the football but also the social side and the laughs it brings.

A part of that social side is having a coffee etc after the sessions and also in December 2015 members attended a Christmas dinner, held at the British Legion. As well as a short after dinner speech there were fun surprise presentations and these were given as follows, Most improved player – Ray Strong Best Keeper – Alan Woodward Most Skilful Action – Alan ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson Female player – Anne Holderness

• • • •

During the coming year as a social group we are looking to raise funds for local Seaford charities with possible events of a Walking Football competition inviting other clubs in Sussex, and a Pier to Pier walk by club members.

Having a ‘senior’ moment after a few glasses of wine at the Christmas Dinner, I said I would kick off the charity fund-raising efforts by trying to grow a pony-tail, hoping club members and friends would sponsor me – to which the members, also after a few glasses of wine, agreed.

With the membership numbers increasing we might have to look at a waiting list or having two sessions, both these options are under review. If anyone is interested in giving it a try please come along on a Wednesday morning to the Downs Leisure centre and have a chat.

Our sessions last two hours and start off with a warmup – minimising injuries being a priority – followed by a series of five minute games between three to five teams, depending on numbers, then finishing off with a cool-down. The sessions start at 10am, I am there from approx 9.30am so if you want to find out a bit more please pop in then and have a chat.

In the future, we would also like to run a small group for beginners and those who would like an even less energetic/contact game.

Annual Inner Wheel DAY

Inner Wheel swung into the New Year with an explosion of activity. The annual Inner Wheel Day was celebrated at St Leonards Church Hall on 9th January with a Bangers and Mash lunch. Inner Wheel was pleasantly surprised by the numbers wanting to join in the warming meal.

We raised just shy of £600! The money will be used by the Friends of Eastbourne Hospital to help purchase a robot which will help surgeons complete life improving procedures for cancer patients. We are not sure if it was the opportunity to have a tasty meal or the opportunity to help the Friends that encouraged so many people to turn up.

Spiced Parsnip Shepherd’s Pie

by Julian O’Vegetables

This month I’m taking a look at a mid-week staple and a favourite of mine: Shepherd’s Pie. It’s still a while to go before the warmer weather, so I reckon on stodgy hot food like this to keep out the late winter/early spring chill. I’ve picked a recipe from the BBCGoodfood.com website that adds another dimension to the old lamb mince, onions and mash combo with just a little extra effort and some cheap ingredients.

Parsnip gives a slight sweetness that works well with the mild spicy background of this dish. It’s ideal for freezing, especially if you have individual pie dishes or foil disposables. This will make 6 portions or one large pie.

For the meat sauce

2 tbsp sunflower oil; 1 large onion, chopped; 2 garlic cloves, crushed; small knob of ginger, peeled and grated; 2 tbsp medium curry powder; 500g minced lamb; 400g can chopped tomato; 100g frozen peas.

For the topping

600g parsnip, peeled and chopped into large chunks; 1 large potato, peeled and chopped into large chunks; 1 green chilli, deseeded and chopped; large bunch coriander, chopped; 2 tsp turmeric; juice of 1 lemon; 50g butter.

Method

Heat the oil in a pan and add the onion. Cook until soft, add the garlic, ginger and curry powder, then cook until aromatic. Turn up the heat, add the mince, fry until browned, then add the tomatoes and simmer for 20 mins until thickened. A few mins before the end, add the peas.

Meanwhile, boil the parsnip and potato until soft. Drain and mash with the rest of the topping ingredients. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 8. Assemble the pies in individual dishes (or a large one) by placing meat sauce on the bottom and topping with mash. Ruffle up the tops with a fork and bake for 20 mins until golden and bubbling. Enjoy!

Seaford Kurlers Spring should be well under way by now. Makes us all realise that we are alive and enjoying nature’s wonders once again. Sadly the winter has been very cruel in as much as we have mourned the loss of a few very colourful members of the media world. Let us hope that the rest of the year will be a little kinder.

Seaford Kurlers are in full swing and enjoying their Tuesday afternoon sport and social activities. We have had a change of membership as is usual in every club. Some people are just hearing about us and have ventured along to see what we get up to. They must enjoy our sport as they have stayed and become members. Maybe some readers will become curious and come along to the Downs Leisure Centre in Seaford.

Apart from the Tuesdays we also arrange trips out and we usually have an Annual Tournament. We are affiliated to ESDA (East Sussex Disability Association) and until this year we were able to hire coaches for our trip through ESDA Coaching Services. Sadly rising costs have meant that the company had to go into liquidation. We will have to look around for alternatives. ESDA have already

Craftstone of Sussex

Gas, Electric & Solid Fuel Fireplaces & Stoves

got a number of coach companies who will help. Many of ESDA’s groups have severely disabled members and this means that specially adapted coaches are needed to take the various types of wheelchairs. These coaches are extremely expensive. The funds for such outings are hard work to secure. Many of the groups’ outings are some members’ only social contact.

Council cuts to the care services in general across the country have shown that the worst affected groups in society are the very ones that can least afford any more cuts. These groups are the very sick, the elderly, the disabled, the deprived and the abused. In other words, as usual it is left to society itself to sort the massive problem out. Cuts in general have meant that many are having to go to work and they no longer have the spare time to do voluntary work. There is always the plea for help. If any readers are in a position to help anywhere, please give the idea serious thought. Part of me says that the welfare services should be shouldering these responsibilities, but without the money the rest of society has to pick up the job.

Seaford Kurlers play the sport of New Age Kurling. The sport is one that can be played by people with a vast range of mobility problems. We are able to cater for most.

We are obviously hoping that the latest round of council cuts do not affect us too much.

We are now a well established club, and have excellent facilities at the Wave Leisure Centre, Seaford. They have a very wide range of exercise regimes and are always very welcoming. The staff are always ready to help and advise people about exercises to help mobility. Come and try us out any Tuesday from 2pm until 4pm.Your visit is free. The annual membership is £5 and the weekly subs. are £2.50p.

Rotary Club of Seaford

Seaford Rotary Supports Local Charity CWCF For those that don’t know, Polegate based Children With Cancer Fund (holder of The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service) not only supports children, but their families as well. Seaford Rotary has supported this magnificent charity for some years now, in ways ranging from financial help to cleaning caravans.

The Charity’s opening event of 2016 involved taking over Hailsham’s Leisure Centre for the late afternoon and evening of Saturday January 24th. Facilities available to the children, mums, dads and families included gym, swimming, ten-pin bowling, soft play centre, and a fingernail beauty salon provided by students from Sussex Downs College.

One of the ways that CWCF helps is by providing treats, not only for the afflicted children, but for their families too. In the early evening, the presentation by Chris of CWCF to dad Martin of a new fishing reel was good to see! Rotary’s President Peter Fenwick was invited to the event and was delighted to make a donation of £1,000 to help the charity in its invaluable work. Chris Downton from CWCF said, ‘It was a great afternoon where our families had time to chill and chat or to use one of the children’s words, it was great to play with someone else that understands what I’m going through’. He also said ‘Events like these are dreams to us that are brought to life by people like the Rotary Club of Seaford and we couldn’t do it without them.’

Seaford Primary Choir Trip to London Young Voices 2016 Concert

On the 18th December 2015 three members of Seaford Rotary Club had the privilege of being invited to attend the Seaford Primary School Christmas play. The play was excellent, and quite novel in parts, including the

66

appearance of a camel train and synchronised dancing to reggae music. The other reason for the visit was so that Seaford Rotary Club could formally present to the school a donation of £650 to enable their school choir to take part in the Young Voices Concert held at the O2 arena in London on the 27th January 2016.

The Young Voices project has been running for about 20 years, and has grown into possibly the largest school choir in the world. This year 7,480 singers took part in total from different schools throughout the whole of the country. It is a whole day event, involving travelling in the morning, rehearsals in the afternoon and the concert itself in the evening. 73 children went from Seaford Primary School for what turned out to be a very long day for them of over 13 hours.

The children also took with them a can for Fair Share, a project for helping the homeless.

The concert included a diverse repertoire of music including movements from Mozart’s Requiem, old time musical songs, traditional African songs, songs from the West End musicals and the latest pop songs. The arrangements for the music were however not only in unison, but also two part and three part. Some of the songs were even in different languages, including Zulu.

Quite a challenge indeed, requiring schools to rehearse for some time before the actual event itself. Fortunately Seaford Primary School have an excellent music teacher, Kate Steer. The school choir rose to these challenges brilliantly and fully responded to the direction of the concert conductor David Lawrence.

Highlights for the children included singing with boy band Mic Lowry, Lucy Spraggum and Tom Billington.

The children therefore got to experience at first hand the excitement of performing alongside professional musicians/performers in a world class venue with professional lighting and sound. The experience really could not be beaten. Comments made by the Seaford

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

Primary children after the event included: ‘I wish I could go again.’; ‘It was an awesome once in a lifetime opportunity’; ‘Best night of my life’; ‘This is the best trip ever’. So roll on Young Voices 2017, and hopefully Seaford Rotary will be able to help the school again.

Competitions for Young People

One significant addition to the activities of the Rotary Club over the last few years has been the introduction of competitions for our young citizens. This started five years ago with Young Musicians and this year’s event has grown to include categories for solo vocal and instrumental entrants, as well as ensembles. Past winners have included flautist Hambel Goodchild who has gone on to study at the Purcell School of Music and violinist Bethany Geoghegan, who has been selected as a member of the 2016 National Youth String Orchestra.

Finals this year are on Saturday 12th March.

With a lot of support from sponsors Fotobox, the Young Photographers Competition is in its second year and has almost doubled the entry from its pilot in 2015. Entrants were required to submit three photographs based on the theme Our World is Beautiful and at the time of writing judging is taking place. Watch out for the results.

The Club also recognised that it could do more for our youngsters at Primary School level which is why it is now running a Young Writers Competition. Entries have been received from Alfriston, Annecy, Cradle Hill, and Seaford Primary Schools, and the judges for the competition include Juliet Smith, the East Sussex High Sheriff and popular local children’s author Giles PaleyPhilips. A Presentation Evening is being held on 29th February, when, as well as individual prizes, the school attended by the winner of the first prize will receive a cheque for £100.

Last but not least the latest competition is one to find the Seaford Young Artist of the Year. Age categories range from Under 7 up to 14 – 18 and the closing date for entries is 9 April. Full details are on the Club website at www.seafordrotary.org.uk. As well as these competitions the Club also supports our youngsters in a number of other different ways, but more about that another month.

NEW CHILDREN’S NOVEL HIGHLIGHTS THREATS TO WILD TIGERS A Seaford writer’s debut children’s novel highlights the real threats to wild tigers from poaching and other pressures on their jungle homes. Profits from sales will be donated to wild tiger conservation.

Global Gang and the Land of the Tiger by Patricia Martin is an exciting adventure story featuring five young wildlife lovers from around the world – including Tamsin , 13, from Seaford – who ‘meet’ on the Internet and form a chat group dubbed ‘Global Gang.’ .

When their Indian friend invites them on a tiger safari, they meet in person in India. But soon, disaster strikes.

Lost in the jungle, they find themselves in danger from tigers and from ruthless poachers who prey on these magnificent animals.

S. J. Hampton

Back home in Seaford, Tamsin’s arch-enemy plots to oust her from the tiger role in their school’s new musical, ‘Wild Cats’ – with frightening consequences. The musical is a key part of the plot involving some surprising real life celebrities, including pop duo The Rizzle Kicks from Brighton.

Although set mainly in India and London, the story returns frequently to Seaford and the final chapter is set at Hope Beach overlooking the Seven Sisters cliffs. Along the way, readers experience India’s amazing capital city, Delhi, and the white-hot countryside of Rajhasthan, where wild tigers roam.

Aimed at 11-14 year olds, the novel is also of interest to older teenagers and adults. Three young readers were invited to comment on an earlier draft, including Ben Cragg of Seaford, who described it as ‘believable and thrilling’ and Melis-Rose Ozcan of Eastbourne, who thought it was ‘amazing’.

A trained journalist, Patricia worked for 20 years as Media Officer for three national charities – WWF-UK, Oxfam and Christian Aid – and visited projects around the world, including in India, Brazil and Ethiopia (all featured in the story ) to raise funds and awareness.

‘Although I love many children’s novels set in imaginary worlds, my travels inspired me to write about the magic and wonder of the real world’, she says. I was also inspired to write for children by my two grandsons when they were younger, to encourage them to read.’

‘Sadly, I have never seen a wild tiger and am too unwell to travel now,’ she says. ‘I knew tigers were a highly endangered species but was shocked to learn, a few years ago, that there were only around 1,500 tigers left in the whole of India, and as few as 3,500 in the world. Since then numbers in India have risen to 2,200, but there is a long way to go to secure their future.’

Patricia lives in Fairways Road with her husband, local poet Peter Martin. They own a beach hut on Seaford Promenade, where some of her novel was written. ‘I’m very grateful for all the help and support I have received from my husband and from some talented friends in Seaford,’ she says.

The novel is available from Sussex Stationers, Broad Street, Seaford, and from The Cuckmere Emporium, Alfriston, price £6.99. For further information or to buy copies by post contact Seacroft Arts, email: redfox. martin@btinernet.com.

A Picture Paints a Thousand words Imagine you hired a professional photographer to capture on film a very special event you were holding. Then they turn up late, armed with an iPhone and start clicking away. You’d be horrified.

When you employ a professional you expect a certain level of service. In the photographer’s case you’d quite rightly demand they have the right equipment to do their job properly and supply you with a range of high quality photos to choose from. When it comes to special family events such as weddings, birthdays or christenings, photos are incredibly important and certainly not an area you’d want to skimp on.

It is exactly the same with photos used to market your property when it’s up for sale.

The photos are the most important tool for marketing your property online and indeed offline. Flowery and over the top descriptions have for years blighted the estate agency industry. Professionally taken images work much more effectively. In the digital age good photography is not just useful but essential if you want to sell your property quickly and for the best price.

When we are given an instruction to sell a property we do not cut corners as we really do believe that a picture paints a thousand words.

When you instruct us we employ a professional photographer from Seaford who will visit your home and ensure each photo shows your property in its very best light. And it comes as part of our service to you and is totally free.

Our photographer takes the time to make sure every shot looks good so you won’t see

coats over chairs, toys in the middle of the front room or anything else that doesn’t show your property in a favourable manner.

We’ve regularly revisited a property when the sun is out to take exterior shots as this often makes the pictures far more appealing. Everyone loves a blue sky. It’s this attention to detail which helps create the big picture (pun intended, sorry) and ensure your property is shown in all its glory.

Thanks for reading

East Sussex Cross Country League – Round 5 – Firle Beacon Sunday 31st January Junior Report by Peter Weeks Seven Seaford Striders braved the elements on Sunday morning to compete in round 5 of the ‘East Sussex Cross Country league’ in very challenging conditions on the downs around Firle Beacon.

The first race was for the juniors (8 to 16 years) and the course had to be altered at short notice due the lack of visibility and very strong winds. The weather conditions did not dampen the enthusiasm of our three juniors who were competing in their first race for the club. Setting off into the strong head wind and mist towards Firle Beacon, we hoped they would return safely and a few minutes later they all returned, before setting off on the second lap.

Joe Collard was the first Junior Strider home in 8:48 in 4th place, closely followed by the first girl, our very own Ruby Atkins in 8:31 (5th), Jessica Collard finished in 9:43 (12th) which was a great run, especially as she had to stop to put her shoe back on, after she lost it in the mud.

Senior Report by Phil Robinson

When the going gets tough, the tough get going and that was certainly the case when a group of Seaford Striders took to the hills around Firle Beacon on Sunday.

It’s a 5-mile race with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside up on the South Downs. Or at least there should have been views! The weather was atrocious. On arriving in the car to park it was hard to see anything much because of thick mist. You were also met with rain driving horizontally due to fierce winds, almost jet-washing the vehicle. But this didn’t deter the Sussex runners, as over 200 converged on the high spot.

The race starts further downhill at Black Cap Farm and everyone sheltered in or around the cow sheds, to the surprise and interest of the cows themselves. When the race started and everyone sped away downhill it must have been an odd sight as they all disappeared into the murky mist. It’s a tough route to run because once down in the valley you then take a sharp left turn and then it winds uphill all the way back to the top of the Downs. It was made tougher by the water-logged and muddy fields to climb through, almost sucking your running shoes off your feet at times.

The conditions must have been a walk in the park, however, for race leader Scott Richardson from Crowborough who won the cross country event in an impressive time of 32:15. Beating the trail for Seaford Striders at a much improved pace was Luke Borland, the first of us home in 39.20. He was followed home by Phil Robinson reaching the finish in 40:57. Stalwart Peter Weeks finished strongly in 46:31 and rounding up the team scores was Anna Norman in another impressive time of 47:52, putting her in good contention among the other senior women category runners.

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK At the Barn Theatre 15th-17th and 22nd-24th January Ooh! I love the Panto Season and it’s always a pleasure to come to Seaford and watch the talented cast strut their stuff. I have to say right at the beginning that I was impressed with the way everyone carried on after the incident when a lady in the audience was taken unwell and congratulations as well to all who were quickly on hand to help her.

Well done to Writer and Director Paula Woolven for including quite a few different touches in this production, especially the opening with Ali Gibson as Belle and the chorus and later on with Dani McDonald as Snow White – two lovely Princesses.

Singing and acting from everyone was excellent with Gemma Albrow as Princess Jasmine who used her skill

to give us a lovely Princess. Jack West played Jack Twinkle, home from his adventuring in true Harrison Ford style who charmed us with his excellent singing voice. John Tester was Widow Twinkle giving us a Dame in his own inimitable style – great fun. Karla Marsland completed the family as Achoo Twinkle – another excellent performance.

Caley Foster and Rebecca Woolven were The Cow, Pat, and what a super cow she was. I love a good baddie and Sue James as Fleshcrawl did not disappoint. Always elegant and supremely bad, she deserved all the boos and hisses from the audience! Her cohorts, Ant and Dec were played by Steve Llewellyn and Carl Martin – very enjoyable performances. Shar Turnbull was the Giant’s Wife, using all her comedic skill to great effect.

The supporting cast and chorus all added greatly to the fun and everyone looked super, thanks to Cath Brooks and Hilary Ryan - (a very impressive costume for Jenny Humphries who was the Golden Harp). Michaela Twaits and John Le Serve were responsible for set design and construction and it was certainly a very good set indeed.

Musical Director Russell Taylor and the band were a wonderful accompaniment to the show, and Choreographer Stuart Hall made sure that all the movement on stage worked so well. The programme was well laid out with good use of colour photography, and the biographies of all involved made good reading.

Many thanks are due to all those working backstage and front of house as well.

Paula Woolven must be very pleased indeed with the way her writing and directing, together with the Seaford talent have made this Panto such a success.

Crocus

ic o op f

th on

As winter ends and spring is in sight crocuses will appear bringing interest into the garden. These blooms delight with a variety of colour from mauve to yellow to white. Some have a perfume which will attract early bees. Crocuses spread themselves and so come back every year liking full sun and any type of soil. New bulbs can be planted in clusters to a depth of 3-4inches during autumn when the ground is still warm, dig in some compost or leaf mould first and then water the bulbs in well. Crocuses also do well planted in lawns where they can form a carpet of colour but remember not to mow them until the leaves have all died down.

Bulbs will also give a display in a pot to add colour to a patio – a wonderful versatile bulb!

elcome to March, the month which can be quite crucial in the garden with lots of work to do. Spring is in the air, days get longer and when the clocks change evenings are lighter. Daffodils should be near to full bloom and ready for displaying in the competition to be held during the social evening at the end of the month. The gardening year really does begin: crops that have been in the ground over winter such as spring cabbage and cauliflowers will benefit from feeding with fertiliser, other ground can be raked and prepared, persistent weeds removed ready for seeds to be sown.

Seed potatoes laid out to chit a few weeks ago may now be showing small shoots and can be planted deep into the soil as soon as it has warmed up a little and when the chits are 1-2cms in length. Around 6-8 weeks after planting, shoots should be showing above ground and new potatoes could then be ready to harvest in about 3 months time. Several studies have been done in recent years which have proved that gardening is good for health, with both mental and physical wellbeing benefitting. It has even been suggested that the Health Service should be actively encouraging certain patients to take up gardening to help improve their health. So whether it is a small or big garden,

JOBS TO DO IN March

3 Cut back mop head hydrangea flowers to

the first pair of healthy buds and cut back to the base any crowded or thin branches to open up the plant.

3 Sow onion sets as they will withstand frost and survive by putting down a good root system now producing onions ready to harvest in July.

3 Hoe regularly between plants to deter weeds.

3 Watch out for slugs and snails which can start to be a problem especially with small seedlings.

3 Many flower and vegetable seeds can be planted outside now as long as soil is not cold or waterlogged.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD

The next Social Evening for members is on Thursday 31st March, 7pm, at St Leonard’s Church Hall. The guest speaker will be Richard James talking about the Rathfinney Wine Estate in Alfriston. It was in 2010 that its current owners bought land, with the aim of fulfilling their dream of establishing a vineyard and winery to produce their own sparkling wine. As part of this Social Evening there will be the competition for ‘3 Daffodils in a Vase’.

Bring along your own vase to display your flowers from 6.30pm onwards. The website – seafordhorti.com has all the society news along with gardening tips and other information.

Restoration project takes garden design business in new direction Seaford resident Lindsay Thomas has been working to restore a little known garden designed in the early-20th-century by one of Britain’s most celebrated architects.

The privately owned house and gardens near Eastbourne were designed by Edwin Lutyens for a prominent QC. The garden, which is on two terraces and enclosed by high flint walls, was reputedly planted

by Gertrude Jekyll, an influential garden designer and plantswoman.

Lindsay has run her own garden design business, Orchard House Designs, for 24 years. After leaving the Royal Horticultural Society in 2006, she was approached about the Lutyens-Jekyll restoration following a chance meeting through the Seaford Community garden.

As it was a long term project, Lindsay enlisted the help of qualified horticulturist, Katie Hall, also a Seaford resident and local gardener.

Both women come from a teaching background and are passionate about the therapeutic benefits of horticulture.

“Gardening can appeal to all personalities, and brings a sense of health and well-being. It offers a chance to be creative, chaotic and free, or meticulous, regimented and

96

scientific – depending on your style,” says Katie, “ and I relish being mentored by an experienced designer who can cater for all tastes.”

Lindsay’s extensive client base means that over the years she has become more focused on the design element of her business.

The Lutyens-Jekyll project is a labour of love which means she started doing the work herself and needed Katie’s help. Their collaboration allows Lindsay the rare satisfaction of being able to build and plant to her own plans.

Of the many gardens Lindsay has designed, her favourites have been those where she has developed an ongoing relationship with the clients, revisiting at intervals to develop or adapt the planting. Having Katie on board enables Orchard House Designs to offer this tailor-made, all round service to more garden owners.

“The sort of clients we hope to attract are those who have difficult gardens, those who are new to gardening or those who may be design aware but feel they just don’t know where to start,” says Lindsay. “It’s all about offering a complete design and horticultural service… clients can pick and choose what sort of help they want”.

Both Katie and Lindsay are looking forward to working together on new projects. With a combined wealth of contacts to call upon for bigger or more specialised tasks, they are able to manage garden builds of all sizes and complexity.

“I’ve personally learned the ‘de-stress’ effect that gardening has and I’m excited about passing this on to our clients when they finally have a garden they want to spend time in,” says Katie.

What they offer is a unique combination of design, implementation and ongoing horticultural input to meet the needs of each and every client.

For an informal discussion about your garden, contact Lindsay on 07747 333936 or Katie on 077882 526817 Photos from top: Lindsay (left) and Katie, Lutyens Garden in spring, Lutyens Garden in summer.

Seaford Gardening Club Due to unseasonable spring weather many plants are blooming earlier this year. The days are slowly getting longer and we will be able to venture into our gardens to tidy up and start planting for the coming season.

Peter Hall, our January speaker, gave a very informative talk entitled ‘From Peggy’s Cove to Niagara Falls in 60 minutes’. Peter’s main interest is in windmills and he has been on a local committee in Hove for 40 years. He also does a great deal of travelling around the world.

Canada is a vast country with many contrasts. His journey started at Peggy’s Cove – a pretty small town with a lighthouse (a post office until 2009) overlooking the natural harbour. Then on towards Nova Scotia with easy driving along almost deserted roads! He saw several wind and water mills along the route, including one that created the power to cut large pieces of timber which gave off a lovely smell. He also passed through an extensive forest sporting all its beautiful autumn colours which only last a few days as the colours had all gone by the time of his return journey.

There was much wildlife to see, including a loon (famous in this area), black and red squirrels, chipmunks, a blue Jay (very noisy bird) and even a moose. He came across a huge cascading waterfall on the route to Quebec City, then on to Toronto where he enjoyed a harbour cruise.

He was amazed by all the colourful and elaborate buildings there. Their final destination – the highly commercialised, but beautiful, Niagara Falls. There are four ways of viewing them – (1) walking behind – a bit damp, (2) a boat ride (3) fly over them in a helicopter – my choice, if I was lucky enough to go there, and (4) to stand on a viewing platform and take in the spectacle before you. A very interesting talk delivered with humour, knowledge and enthusiasm.

Our next talk is on Wednesday 30th March and will commence at 7.30pm in The Clinton Centre, Clinton Place, Seaford (using door opposite Tesco).

Our speaker will be Peter White, relating his many years as Seaford’s Town Crier. I have heard his talk before and it is extremely interesting and amusing.

Please come along, either as a visitor (for a fee of £2) or join until the end of the season in June for a subscription of £10. There are no extra charges.

Refreshments are available. More information can be obtained by phoning Anne Silk on 01323 491331 or visiting the website at www.seaford-sussex.co.uk/sgc.

The club is still in urgent need of a Treasurer and Speakers’ Secretary. The club cannot continue without replacements – please phone Anne if you may be able to help out – more than one person could take on either role and share the workload.

Who remembers those foolishly fun days of being let loose in the school chemistry lab? Burning holes in each other’s overalls by forgetting whether you added acid to water or the other way round? And hoping one of your teacher’s more pyrogenic experiments would go wrong?

Well, the joy of experimentation has transported itself from the classroom to Seaford’s Community Garden at the Crouch. Only the other week for instance an earnest group of gents – growing veg appears to be gender specific among the volunteers – was scrutinising the three-yearly growing calendar that lives on a wall in our classroom and debating what to plant and when. (Actually it was a freezingcold morning and we of the feminine persuasion who were braving the icy gale among the flower beds think they were simply sheltering from the elements.) We grow our brassicas inside wire cages to prevent assault from cabbage white butterflies – thanks Dave for strengthening them to withstand the vicious wind that spirals around that corner – and a debate was going on about what sort of kale to grow.

So here’s a factoid from one of our experiments: Mike who has grown several varieties discovered that curly kale is ignored by the little white beasties. Now carrots, as we know, like a sandy soil and Mike got to wondering a few years back how deep that sand should go so he planted them into six inches of it without much success. Time for another experiment: lots of sand mixed into finely sieved soil. He advised: “Make sure there are no stones and don’t use manure otherwise your carrots will fork.” We eagerly await the result. Meanwhile sadly, no experimentation could deal with this odd mild, wet and windy winter which has not resulted in hoped-for very fat leeks. However, in early February the crocuses were doing beautifully and the

polyanthus were a picture.

Garden visitors will have noticed that our polytunnel has seen better days so we are currently costing a replacement. Anyone got any printable ideas for keeping seagulls off? We would also be interested in suggestions for collecting rainwater from it. Bill and Allison spent a happy hour in there the other week potting up hellebore seedlings before stopping for tea made with water that is currently boiled very slowly on a couple of Calor gas burners. Hmm, what we could do with is a decent generator...

We would love to show you our garden any Wednesday morning, and Dave and John are busy preparing a presentation about what we do, for organisations whose members would like to hear about us. The real communications star, however, is web designer, Mick Barrett, who liaises with Viv to produce our website at www.seafordsussex.co.uk/scg/ and is currently working on making the site smart-phone app-friendly too. It’s all a great deal of work and we hugely appreciate Mick’s toiling on our behalf to help make our glorious if quirky garden accessible to all.

Spring Tree Care Tips With the weather beginning to warm, here are a few tips to care for your trees as we come into spring.

Remove Wrapping Now is

the time to remove any protective wrapping from your trees if you haven’t already done so.

It’s important not to leave protective wrapping around your trees as the weather gets warmer, as they can sweat, which may encourage rot.

Raking and Mulching Rake any old, rotting leaves and fruits from around the base of your trees, as these can encourage fungal growth in some species.

After raking, younger trees will benefit from a layer of mulch around the base of the tree.

Prune Dead Branches If there are any dead

branches on your tree, or branches that have been damaged by harsh winter weather, remove these carefully, making sure to only prune what you can reach

106

by standing on the ground, and enlisting help if necessary.

Watering Once the ground has thawed, your trees will be thirsty! Give them a good drink, paying special attention to young trees that aren’t yet established.

The Seaford Tree Wardens will be planting trees in Seaford on 19th March. If you would like to get involved, please contact us for confirmation via our website: www.seafordtreewardens.wordpress.com or our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ Seaford-Tree-Wardens-402591039836438/

RELEASE YOUR INNER TORTOISE

JOIN THE SLOW REVOLUTION!

By Judy Renihan Isn’t it ironic that the more ‘time saving’ gismos and gadgets we have, the faster our lives feel and the less time we appear to have?

I constantly see clients at ‘The House’ worn down mentally and physically by the pressure of their hectic lives.

Stress has such a detrimental effect on the body and mind. The ‘to do’ list seems to get longer and the obligation to go faster gets stronger. We stress about getting everything done and feel guilty when we don’t.

The problem with this treadmill is that there is never a sense of achievement because the list never gets fully ticked off. To calm that fear we work harder, and longer, only to realize that there’s more to do.

the number of times a day you check emails. Put the iPad or mobile down when you’re talking to someone and really engage with them.

Pace yourself

When you have hundreds of things to do it’s almost impossible to slow down. Prioritise what’s really important and let go of the rest. Make space in your day to complete what you need to do and make sure you have enough time to get to appointments instead of rushing.

Drive more slowly; speed is responsible for most of our traffic accidents. Move through your day at a more leisurely pace. Instead of grabbing food on the go and stuffing it down as quickly as possible, learn to eat more slowly. Really take time to taste your food; appreciate the flavour, smells and textures. By eating slowly, you’ll eat less and your food will taste better.

Appreciate your surroundings

This time of year we often find ourselves shut inside, the days are shorter and the weather doesn’t always make the outside inviting. However, I cannot emphasise enough how important fresh air is to our mental well-being.You don’t need to go on a major hike but getting outside, even for 20 minutes, is beneficial to both mind and body.

Do one thing at a time

So if you’re up for slowing down, here are some suggestions to help you on your way:

Our culture often applauds multi-tasking, but new research shows that multi-tasking is problematic.

Research at Stanford University showed that multi-tasking was less productive than doing a single thing at a time.

People who dealt with several pieces of information at one time found it difficult to recall data or switch from one job to another. Single taskers were more creative and productive. When you feel tempted to brush your teeth and empty the dishwasher at the same time; pause, breathe; complete one task before starting the other.

Stay in the present

Breathe

Switch off

I know that slowing down can feel strange at first; not having all that chaotic rush will feel unfamiliar. Stick with it; life is too short and precious to let it rush by.

I don’t see very much benefit from speeding through the day. Personally, I get more done when I slow down and pace myself. I have decided to start a SLOW revolution.

Want to give it a go? What can you expect from a slower pace of life? I believe that slowing down leads to a greater appreciation of life and, in turn, greater happiness.

Think about what you’re doing in the moment. Instead of worrying about what ‘might’ happen tomorrow or what people ‘might’ think; stay in the here and now. It’s hard to slow down if you have hundreds of thoughts rushing around your head. Focus on what you’re doing in the present.

Technology is fantastic but we don’t need to always be connected to a gadget. Turn off the mobile phone sometimes. It is difficult to concentrate on what you’re doing when you are constantly checking messages. Limit

110

When you find your life speeding up. STOP. Take time to breathe. I’ve mentioned in a previous article about the 7/11 technique: breathe in deeply for 7 seconds and breathe out slowly for 11. It slows your mind.

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.

Ian Kerr

Complementary Practitioner

Helping you and your body Feel Great!

Ian Kerr has been helping the people of Seaford and the surrounding areas ‘feel great’ for over 10 years. Hundreds of people with all sorts of issues have seen an improvement in their symptoms after treatment from him.

I caught up with Ian in his clinic in The Blue Room hair salon in Clinton Place, Seaford, to ask him some questions.

Q. How are you able to help so many people?

A. The complementary techniques I use blend together so well that I can help almost anyone with almost anything.

Q. That’s a big claim?

A. My clients have reported that they have had reductions in their symptoms and often completely release from a wide range of problems including; sciatica, swallowing problems, headaches, hiatus hernia, acid reflux, phobias, frozen shoulder, trouble walking, emotional distress, post-traumatic stress, injury recovery, disabling back ache, fibromyalgia, IBS, and shoulder and neck pain.

The work I do brings your body back into balance and allows the innate self-healing we all have to work. These techniques complement mainstream medical practice but I recommend that people get a medical issue checked out by their GP first.

Q. What techniques do you use?

A. I use a mixture of Sports Massage, Kinesiology, and NLP. Sports Massage is fantastic at releasing muscle spasms and tension whether you ‘do’ sport or not. These manipulations allow that tension to dissipate easily and without pain.

Kinesiology uses the Chinese Meridians and positional muscle testing. It connects with the ‘Bio-Computers’ which run your body and allows us to ask your body questions and, more importantly, get answers.

NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is a wonderful way of helping you to change your mind to a more positive and empowering state.

Q. What happens in a treatment?

A. At the beginning of every treatment I listen carefully and without judgement to the client, what their symptoms are, how they have developed, and what they want from the treatment. Depending on the issue I might start with some Kinesiology to investigate the problem followed by some massage to reduce the areas of tension and give some suggestions to help the client remove the triggers for the problem. These suggestions could be postural at work and at home, nutritional, activity related such as gardening, or exercise related.

Q. How many treatments does it take?

A. It is hard to say as each client is different, but, nearly all clients see or feel some improvement from the first treatment.

I have several clients who come for a regular loosen up and some very keen elite sports people who see me to help keep them in tip top shape. But for clients with a specific problem, I savour the day when they tell me that they don’t have to come any more as their issue has been resolved. This makes me feel very good.

Q. How much does it cost?

A. Each treatment is £42, however there is a 20% discount for your first visit.

Local adventure obstacle event helps local charities Payne Games is an adventure obstacle course which specialises in enjoyable obstacles in the idyllic natural surroundings of Friston Forest. The company is giving 25% net profit to local charities and is encouraging its participants to raise money for charities too. On the 23rd (5k) and 24th (10k) of July it will hold the first ever Friston Forest obstacle course where it boasts a variety of currently secret obstacles. Some obstacles it has hinted towards have consisted of mazes, tyre runs, wire crawls, slacklines and spiders’ webs. Anyone who can walk or run 5k (around 3.1 miles) will be able to complete this course as they will provide different grades of difficulty for each obstacle where possible.

When asked why Payne Games would give 25% net profit to charity Chris the founder of Payne Games said, ‘I want Payne Games to be a part of the local community and to ensure that participants not only are having fun but are actually helping people at the same time.’

of the Sussex Flood Rescue Team.

Obesity now costs the UK almost £47 billion a year (Guardian 2014) which reduces the quality of life for a large number of people. Chris said the reason he wanted to help encourage people to become healthier is because he loves being outside and participating in challenges and has realised that a lot of the events can be quite daunting for people who are looking to participate in their first event. With the Friston Forest course, he has endeavoured to create a series of obstacles with different levels of difficulty. This means no one has to worry about Ice or Electric Shocks, but it will be fun for the First Timers whilst challenging the more experienced participants.

Participants can find out more and sign up on the Payne Games Website (www.paynegames.com) where they can also find local running routes, tips and nutrition.
