The Day You Came 2 Seaford

150th Anniversary of the Seaford Railway, Saturday 7th June 2014 On June 7th something special was happening in Seaford. People were beginning to make their way to Seaford Railway Station, the roads were beginning to get jammed up. Seaford was celebrating the 150th anniversary of the opening of the Seaford to Brighton railway line and local residents were out in force to welcome “Oliver Cromwell”. Southern Railway had agreed to flex their regular service to allow a special steam train to travel to Seaford, providing a unique opportunity to travel along the branch line from Lewes to Newhaven and onwards, along the single track, to the terminus at Seaford.

The steam train “Oliver Cromwell” which arrived in Seaford just before noon is a British Railways standard class 7 (also known as the Britannia class).

The locomotive is notable as one of the four steam locomotives which worked the last steam railtour on British Railways (BR) in 1968. One of 55 of the “Britannia” class, Oliver Cromwell was built at Crewe Works, being completed on 30 May 1951.

Seaford Town Council and the organisers of the day can be very proud of their achievement – several thousand people must have come to see the steam trains over the weekend. There were stalls, displays and games at Seaford Station waiting room and car park, with many of the local clubs and organisations represented – a true community event. Bishopstone station also had a filmshow and refreshments.

After “Oliver Cromwell” had arrived at the platform of Seaford station an historic welcome plaque was unveiled. Seaford Silver Band played to welcome the VIP Train and its 14 coaches of guests and enthusiasts, and St Leonards’ Church Bells pealed.

Seaford Baptist Church Concert Choir sang at The Shore pub serving as “The Terminus Hotel”, which was the name in the period past. Seaford Primary Choir and Seaford Youth Drama also entertained. Seaford Museum held Special Railway Displays and Seaford shops’ had window displays.

Chris Conil, a local film maker has posted a video of all the events of the day and also the Sunday visit of another Steam train Black V 44932 on YouTube – it is well worth a watch.

THE MOO MAN EVENT

2013s most heartbreaking love story Little White Lies

7.30 Fri 19 September, Cert U

To celebrate the opening of the new season at Seaford Cinema we are showing The Moo Man. “The remarkable story of a maverick farmer and his unruly cows, filmed over four years on the marshes of the Pevensey Levels. In an attempt to save his family farm, Stephen Hook decides to turn his back on the cost-cutting dairies and supermarkets, and instead stay small and keep his close relationship with the herd.

However farmer Hook’s plans to save the farm do not always go down well with his 55 spirited cows. The result is a laugh-out-loud, emotional roller-coaster of a journey.”

The Director Andy Heathcote and the Moo Man himself, Steve Hook, will be presenting the film followed

Moving and brilliant Mail on Sunday (Tom Parker Bowles) An emotional roller coaster…intimate and uplifting…

SUSSEX WILDLIFE TRUST

Seaford Head Local Nature Reserve

Sussex Wildlife Trust took over management of Seaford Head Local Nature Reserve (LNR) in June 2013 and I am employed part-time as the Ranger. My job is to look after the site, following a Management Plan which guides the work we do to improve the area for wildlife. It’s a beautiful spot with fantastic views, as well as having a variety of rare and valuable habitats: chalk grassland with its lovely flowers and butterflies; areas of sheltered scrub providing food for migrating birds; a beach with fascinating rock pools, and magnificent chalk cliffs with nesting seabirds and interesting rock formations.

The Reserve falls within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (often referred to as a “triple S I”) which extends from Seaford to Beachy Head. It is a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI), a Regionally Important Geomorphological Site (RIGS), and a Local Geological Site. It also falls within the South Downs National Park and is part of the Sussex Heritage Coast. Quite a list! So what does this mean? Most importantly it affords the site protection and places a legal obligation on Seaford Town Council who own the land to look after it. Sussex Wildlife Trust is able to provide the expertise to do this on their behalf.

Volunteers are crucial to the practical conservation work done by Sussex Wildlife Trust. At Seaford Head we have a group that meets on the first Thursday of the month and they have done some great work over the past year. We work with volunteers from the South Downs National Park and Seaford Natural History Society too. In the autumn and winter our main job is scrub clearance, mostly done by hand with loppers and bowsaws. If we just left the site to its own devices it would become covered with scrub and trees, the process known as “succession”. Because chalk grassland is such a rare and valuable habitat we don’t want this to happen. We also aim to create a mosaic of different

12

aged vegetation to improve the habitat for wildlife – not a lot lives in the old and dense scrub. By cutting scallops and glades we let in more light, and create more variety in the age and structure of the vegetation, which results in a greater diversity of wildlife. Along the path to Hope Gap you can see the older scallops, semi-circular areas cut into the scrub, and the new ones we cut last winter which are already green again with new growth.

Grazing by cattle and sheep is another way in which we control the vegetation. We have had three cows up on the site this year in an area enclosed by electric fencing.

The fence is there to keep the cattle in, not to keep people out, so there are three pedestrian gates allowing access to the area. When cattle or sheep are present we ask visitors to keep dogs under close control or on a lead and ensure gates are kept closed.

The cliffs have suffered considerable erosion in the storms of the past winter. This is particularly noticeable around the Hope Gap steps where about 5ft of cliff top has fallen away. The fence is now falling off the edge and we have put in some temporary fencing to redirect people away from the cliff edge. This footpath, part of the Vanguards Way, will be rerouted slightly inland and the Town Council is installing new fencing. If you are walking along the cliff path or along the beach, please stay away from the cliff edge, it is incredibly unstable in places.

For those of you who are regular visitors to the site, I hope this article has given you some insight into how the site is managed. If you have not been there before, I hope it has inspired you to go and explore. Parking at South Hill Barn Car Park is free and from there you have the choice of several paths. A favourite circuit is down to the beach by the River Cuckmere with stunning views of the Seven Sisters, then along the cliff top to Hope Gap and up the Hope Gap path back to the car park. You can also walk up from the western end of the sea front at Seaford. I lead guided walks around the Reserve in the summer which are advertised in Seaford Scene.

If you would like to join our volunteers who meet on the first Thursday of the month from 10am – 3pm email me on: sarahquantrill@sussexwt.org.uk or call my mobile: 07824 151935. If you see me on the Reserve do come and have a chat.

COME AND TRY FITNESS LEAGUE DANCE EXERCISE CLASSES IN SEAFORD Fitness League Classes are about using movement to improve flexibility, stamina, posture and maybe even lose some weight!

Do you want to keep looking as young as you feel, in a fun environment and friendly class using music to help you move? The Fitness League (formerly the ‘Women’s League of Health and Beauty’ WLHB) is an organisation which trains and supports all their teachers and class members. The teachers are well qualified and undergo continual professional development to ensure that the quality of their exercise and movement teaching is up to date, interesting and safe.

Regular members turn up to class, week in week out, in rain or shine because they know that the class will invigorate them and inspire them to maintain an active lifestyle. The atmosphere is very sociable and new members are made to feel really welcome, with new friendships made and continued outside of the class.

Fitness League is a membership organisation ensuring that members are insured in class, kept informed with new developments and feel part of a big family of people moving together.

Classes are for all ages over 18, and for men and women.

Everyone is able to work at their own pace, revving it up or slowing it down. Movement focuses on sound posture to counteract every day stresses, flexibility to maintain suppleness and stamina to help deal with our current life challenges. When asked about why they enjoyed classes so much, one member explained; “We have such fun and a laugh that we don’t realise that we’re exercising.

The classes are interesting with lovely dance moves that everyone can do and the music is great.”

Come along to find out why Fitness League (formerly WLHB) has been around for 80 years and continues to support people in their quest to have fun keeping fit!

Town Council rescues local Premier youth football & soccer school Seaford Town Council has recently rescued local football club Premier United who were suddenly given notice that their training facilities and home venue for matches at Newlands School were withdrawn following the apparent closure of the School. Accommodation was found for the club to provide its training and matches at The Salts Park in Seaford.

The Council were approached to provide facilities with a few days’ notice for the foreseeable future by Gary McKenzie, who runs the soccer school and is the Chairman of Premier United who have 8 football teams – now the biggest football club in Seaford.

Gary said “whilst I am disappointed that we have had to leave Newlands School after 7 years of running our football operation there I am delighted that we have an opportunity to continue our football at the Salts. I am so grateful to Councillor Paul Franklin and James Corrigan Interim Town Clerk for their swift action to find us

such good quality facilities at the Salts. This is a great opportunity for the soccer school and our teams to develop a long term sports partnership with Seaford Town Council.

Councillor Paul Franklin who brokered the contact between Mr McKenzie and Town Council officers said, “I was delighted when I was advised that we had been able to make accommodation for the club training and matches as a permanent venue at the Salts. The Interim Town Clerk resolved all issues very quickly and made sure the 100 plus children will be able to train over the summer as hoped for.”

Premier Mini Soccer School, and Premier United, has been running for 10 years and has 8 teams playing at age levels 7 to 13 .

The soccer school also offers training for boys and girls aged 4 to 14. Recent success includes players being signed at West Ham, Brighton, Crystal Palace, and last Saturday over 1500 footballers from across Sussex attended the annual Premier Football Tournament in Seaford.

Anyone wishing to join the club should contact Gary Mckenzie 07862 261094. The provision of football at The Salts Park by existing club Seaford Town under 13s will not be affected by this project.

Running Commentary...

Since the first Seaford Half Marathon many years ago, I have always assisted with the time-keeping and marshalling, as I have been happy to give something back to the sport that has given me some much enjoyment.

On reflection, this year’s event, back in June, seemed to encapsulate just about every facet of running, every reason for running, and a good few reasons for doing something else instead.

The beautiful seascape that you run past at the beginning of the race and in the final stretch, and the stunning landscapes viewed from every vantage point, (and a few disadvantage points too), inspire and challenge the runners and walkers in equal measures. Cruising along the flat sections, eating up the miles, and “digging deep” to manage the hilly parts, mixes comfort and exhaustion, pain and euphoria. All this comes as standard in the Seaford Half Marathon. However, all it takes is an extra ingredient, and the tough race becomes really tough.

One year, for instance, there was dense fog, making it challenging even if you knew the route. Then there was the year when the extra ingredient was heavy rain, and another when strong winds disrupted your pace and

rhythm, and the drop in temperature almost demanded gloves and a woolly hat. This year the rogue element was the heat which, aggravated by the fact that everyone’s training for the event had probably been done in much cooler temperatures. Running the uphill sections in such conditions became even harder, demanding greater grit and stubbornness, while the few easy parts couldn’t be enjoyed as much as on a normal day. Then there was the problem of running along the Cuckmere towards the sea when the valley felt like an airless oven! Some runners did require medical assistance up on the Downs and a few were even collapsing within sight of the Finish banner. Only a couple of runners failed to finish the event, and one of those gave up his chance to complete the course to stay with an injured runner.

This Half Marathon was yet again a resounding success, thanks to the organisers, marshals and, importantly, the physical and mental stamina of the runners and walkers to handle the difficult conditions. On the theme of half marathons, there are two worth trying out this month.

Firstly, on the 14th is the Firle Half followed by the longestablished Barns Green Half on the 28th. The Firle event has a modified, predominantly off-road route, starting at Firle Place and heading along the Old Coach Road to Alfriston, then up onto the Downs and on towards Firle Beacon before descending to the finish. The Barns Green Half is extremely popular and well organised, with a route that goes along quiet country lanes south of Horsham. And if you want more half marathons then early next month is the Chichester Half Marathon. This one has a fast, flat start and a similar finish, however, in the middle section there is a long climb up to Trundle Hill, the steepness of which seems to prevent runners from fully enjoying what should be a fast second half of the race. Race organisers have a lot to answer for!

Award-winning Hairdresser Beverly C. comes to Seaford Beverly C., a worldclass educator and leading hairdressing expert, visited the Blue Room, Seaford on 27th August. where she gave hair style demonstrations and hairdressing techniques throughout the day.

Who’s Who In Seaford?

Ray Hazan, President of the Rotary Club of Seaford

Ray has lived in Seaford for three years and was elected President of the Rotary Club of Seaford in July this year. Now retired, he was a member of staff for Blind Veterans UK for 34 years and was elected president in 2004. Ray was educated at Tyttenhanger Lodge, Seaford, Charterhouse and RMA Sandhurst. He is married to Roberta and has two sons and two granddaughters and in the past he has had two guide dogs.

What do you most enjoy about your role? Contributing to the local community; widening the horizons of local school children; aid to elderly; the fellowship amongst the club members.

What is your favourite piece of music? 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky.

What is your favourite film? Shore Shank Redemption.

West Side Story when I was sighted.

What book are you reading at the moment?

Sharpe’s Escape by Bernard Cornwell.

What is your favourite journey? From the top to the bottom of a ski slope without falling!

Which living person do you most admire?

Author Bernard Corhwell as I am very jealous of his writing talents and would love to follow him.

A Service to Remember The evening of Sunday 3rd August saw a large gathering at St Leonards Church in Seaford, led by the Mayor, Councillor Mark Brown. Many medals were on display, on a warm summer evening as the congregation Remembered the Fallen. Readings by Kevin Gordon, Kenneth Jupp, chairman of Seaford Branch of the Royal British Legion, and Sue Fears interspersed the hymns.

The list of the fallen from Seaford was read by Dean Layen of the Scouts and Kevin Falconer with an ex-cadet of the Seaford Army Cadet Force.

The service was led by the Rev’d Pauline Lucas with Rev’d Colin Rudge, with the church choir and organist.

32

How do you relax? With a good book, or an interesting audio described documentary on TV. What has been your most embarrassing moment? Falling into the boating pond in Regents Park. I was looking for the edge of a path and fell in. My guide dog was running free at the time. Nobody offered help but can understand as I got to the bank and shouted “Happy!”, the name of my dog!

What makes you sad? Events in Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Gaza that see innocent people killed, especially by religious fanatics.

What words or phrases do you over use? “Or something” What is the best advice you have ever been given?

Lend an ear to other people’s problems, which may seem insignificant to you, but are all pervading to them.

What is your idea of perfect happiness? Having nearly lost my life in 1974, every day since is a bonus!

What keeps you awake at night?

Planning a speech and the fear of a senior moment, which is beginning to rear its head.

What is your greatest extravagance?

Spending a night in the Park Lane Hilton.

What is your greatest fear?

Going even more deaf. Deafness cuts you off from people and you become a bit of a burden.

What is your favourite smell?

Channel No 5 and evening scented stocks (flowers).

What is the most important lesson life has taught you?

Live each day to the full as you never know what is around the corner. Treat others as you would like to be treated. There are many more good people in the world than there are terrorists.

What is your most memorable learning experience?

I have met many with handicaps worse than mine.

Their indomitable spirit and what they mostly achieved has been a great inspiration.

Which person in history would you most like to meet?

Isaac Newton so as to be able to describe to him the marvels of modern science, especially relating to his field.

What or who is the greatest love in your life?

It has to be my wife Roberta, without whom life might be possibly a little quieter, but a lot more problematical.

What is your motto?

A sense of humour is absolutely essential. I would like to be described as “A ray of sunshine”.

Anything else you may like to include?

I was injured in an IRA parcel bomb explosion in 1973, which left me totally blind, missing a right hand and with severe hearing loss. A magic moment in my life was being made an OBE by Her Majesty the Queen in February 2012.

SEAFORD CHORAL SOCIETY

SING EVENSONG IN CAMBRIDGE On Thursday 10th July, the Choir fulfilled a lifelong ambition held by their Chairman, Mike Rogers, to sing Choral Evensong at Magdalene College Chapel, Cambridge. Mike made the arrangements for the Service with the Chaplain, Dr Philip Hobday, which followed the traditional Evensong Order.The music was selected by their outgoing Music Director, Sion Parry. So, on a very wet windy morning, 35 choir members and their followers set out from Seaford to travel by coach to Cambridge.

The small and intimate Magdalene College Chapel dates from the 15th century. Although it has been altered a good deal over the centuries, its present atmosphere is probably not too dissimilar to the medieval one, and the ongoing rhythm of daily prayer and Sunday worship remains its heartbeat. Members of College and visitors, of all faiths and of none, are welcome to participate in services or just seek some space for quiet reflection amid its peace.

Matins and Evensong were very much designed for members of monastic communities and the professional

clergy in the aftermath of the Reformation in England.

Daily worship was simplified and the two main daily offices were devised to provide both clergy and laity with a “common” form of daily prayers. The last service or office of the day, provided by the Book of Common Prayer, became known as Evening Prayer or Evensong.

This evening service combined the medieval services of Vespers and Compline.

In a fully choral service of evensong, all of the service, except the penitential introduction lessons and some of the prayers, are sung or chanted by the officiating cleric and the choir.

In this hallowed and ancient setting, the choir sang Evensong in late afternoon. The choir stood and sang facing each other on the two “sides” of the quire, on either side of the conductor, known as Decani and Cantoris. Seaford Choral Society member The Reverend Colin Pritchard officiated and the choir sang the following parts of the Evensong with three further hymns: • Introit: ‘Lord, for thy tender mercy’s sake’ by John Hilton • Anthem: Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in B Flat By Charles Villiers Stanford • Preces and Responses (for Edington 1972) by Philip Radcliffe • Psalm 1 ‘Blessed is the man that hath not walked’ setting by EJ Hopkins, • Anthem: ‘The Lord Bless you and keep you’ by John Rutter Sion Parry conducted the Choir for the last time. John Eady travelled with the choir from Eastbourne and provided excellent accompaniment on the College Chapel organ. All combined to make a truly memorable and thoroughly enjoyable experience in a splendid setting.

Seaford U3A 25th Birthday Party Seaford University of the 3rd Age celebrated its 25th Birthday on Tuesday June 3rd 2014 with a party at East Dean Village Hall, specially decorated for the occasion.

120 members and guests attended, including the Mayor and Mayoress of Seaford, Councillor Mark Brown and Mrs Vera Brown, Jean Lee, one of the four founders of Seaford U3A and Adelaide Gadd, a founder member, who is still an active member today.

The Chairwoman, Christine Cooke, welcomed everybody and spoke about the important, positive effect the U3A has had on the life of older people in Seaford over the past 25 years. In 1989 55 people joined and the

membership fee was £6; in 2014 the membership stands at 416 and the fee is amazingly only £10.

A picnic lunch was followed by very enjoyable musical entertainment from the U3A Recorder Ensemble, the Guitar Group and the Seaford Hand Bell Ringers and poems were read by 3 of our members. The mayor then spoke, praising the contribution the U3A makes to the life of the town, a toast was proposed and then the splendid cake, made and iced by two of the members, was cut. During the rest of the afternoon everyone was able to enjoy the exhibition of archive and course material on display in the adjacent hall, wander up to the Village Green in the lovely sunshine, watch the slide show of Seaford U3A people and activities, complete the “silver” quiz or just reminisce or chat. The party ended back in the main hall with tea and birthday cake, and Michael Reynell playing the piano.

Seaford U3A provides lifelong learning for older people. It works by self-help with members both attending and running courses on their chosen subject, area of expertise or interests. Please contact the Membership Secretary, Mary Young, for further details.

SMALL BUSINESS UNIT

Portrait of Murder

Seaford Little Theatre 25th July - 2nd August 2014

Cue creepy music, part curtains to reveal a backlit set picking out the mock tudor beams of an early ’60s sitting room, slowly bring the portrait of the title into focus, commanding the stage. Thus the scene was set for a chilling but always intriguing play that could have been tailor-made for the talents of this group, providing memorable characterisations and inspired direction by the experienced Margaret Kennedy who knows well how to focus on subtle nuance with a big lens.

The plot concerns a novelist who returns home after months spent in a nursing home following a fire which, we are led to believe, should have killed her. Apparently this mild-mannered timid woman has lost her memory and can recall no one. A series of flashbacks, cleverly timed to build up audience tension, like the delayed announcement of results on a TV gameshow, reveal the real Paula Barlow, played with great panache by Marilynne Sharpin, who slid from nervous wreck to harpy as easily as if she were one of the characters in Paula’s books.

Playing her husband Eliot was Little Theatre stalwart, Roland Boorman, for whom the part was a great fit. Like Sharpin, he has a great sense of timing, taking us from sympathy for a man who has had to give up his acting career to administer his wife’s more lucrative one, to loathing when we find out his girlfriend is his wife’s best friend Denise, amusingly played by Kay Wetherilt. The scenes between these two, revealing Eliot’s desire to kill Paula and some emotional blackmail by Denise, were done particularly well, thrilling rather than chilling us.

as she responds to Paula’s demonic alter ego the next. Another familiar Little Theatre face, John Hamilton, played literary agent James Guthrie, the ethical man who still holds a candle for his former love Paula. The cast was completed by new member Dug Godfrey as Ted Logan, the artist of the said portrait, all floppy bow tie, baggy shirt sleeves and gifts of carnations, who knows rather more about what is going on than Eliot would like, and brought humour to the role.

The quality of acting demanded by this complex piece was complemented by quality of direction

by Kennedy and her assistants, Penny Cockell and Cicely Ridley, and by the efforts of the stage management team of Ray and Debbie Cox. Gary English’s lighting design was a triumph, and Ian Baldwin used it to create some real drama. If the cast could have heard the audience, during the interval, abuzz with trying to work out what was going to happen, they would have been gratified. For those who guessed correctly, the end was satisfying and for those, like me, who didn’t, the final plot twist was a real shocker.

SEAFORD AFTERNOON FLOWER CLUB Last issue I promised July 17th would be an exhilarating meeting and Stephen McDonnell did not let me down.

With amusing stories about the World Show (W.A.F.A.) in Dublin, how he became a flower arranger and tales about his job looking after a large conservatory he had members and visitors eager for more. All the while he produced his magical take on flower arranging.

Firstly, using a tall Ali Baba type bamboo vase with an Oasis dish with floral foam placed in the neck of it, he arranged fan Palms and Aspidistra leaves to form a frame for Mollucella (Bells of Ireland), Green Anthuriums and Purple Sensation Alliums.

Stephen asked the audience if they like contemporary design and proceeded with a three-fold black screen – down the sides of each fold were parallel eyelets threaded with black elastic. Into these he placed a dozen red Amarylis Lilies. The remaining designs were all contemporary, including upright reeds with large balls of entwined vines, pink Calla Lilies and Alliums; intertwined

interiors of Cacti, some covered in Moss, within which several Oasis dishes and foam were placed. Fatsia Japonica, Aspidistra and Dracaenia leaves were added to Acanthus flowers, Gladioli and Tropical making a linear design. A beautiful piece of Driftwood was used to display Orchids and Malibu Roses. A lovely spectacle!

What happens at a Flower Club Meeting Part Two

On occasions the Club may have a “Workshop” meeting, but do not be scared! A design is demonstrated and everyone then reproduces a similar arrangement. This is an opportunity to chat to other members, for the more experienced to help novices and everyone to have fun!

Possibly once a year or so there may be an “Imposed Class” where everyone is given exactly the same floral material, mechanics and accessories to use all or part in creating an arrangement. At the end there will be so many different designs so we all learn from one another.

Newcomers will be given help. At our Christmas meeting last year 6 members demonstrated designs for the Festive Season.

Do not forget to buy tickets for our Open Meeting at Meridian Centre Peacehaven

It will be held on Thursday 18th September.

Refreshments will be served from 12.45pm to 1.45pm.

This is a wonderful opportunity to see National Demonstrator and Media Star, Tan Strong, as she demonstrates “Colour my World”. Tickets £12 including refreshments (£4 reduction for members). All seats have a fantastic view of the large stage. There will be stalls, tombola and a flower raffle.

Sue trained at the Central School of Art and Design in London (now renamed Central St Martins), working in the publishing industry as a graphic designer for 40 years in this country and the USA. She has always painted in acrylics in her spare time, but more usually producing illustrations and artwork on Apple Mac. Sue regularly exhibits paintings in acrylics, watercolour and oils, and more recently experiments with printmaking with lino and monoprints. Our colourful exhibition poster was designed by Sue.

Marian Kerr

Marian has drawn and painted since she was a “wee bairn”. Moving to Seaford three years ago she joined local art teacher Pauline Jay’s class and was introduced to various mediums, including acrylics, oil pastels, gouache and numerous techniques. She joined the Seaford Art Club last year where “I met an enthusiastic group of amateur and professional artists, whose work and styles are so diverse, they encouraged me to attempt different styles and subjects, I am now undertaking a portrait of my father in oils”.

Margaret Prentis

Margaret actually hails from Eastbourne, but has been given temporary immigration status to exhibit as a Seafordian. She studied art at Sussex Downs College and her “specialities” are printing, fabrics, fine art and oils.

Whilst very modest about her work, she has exhibited widely in Eastbourne, Lewes, Bexhill, St Leonards, Seaford, Newhaven and Chiddingly.

Bill Savidge

Bill is involved with Last Minute Artists and a local free art group called Splash as well as teaching for Catalyst Arts. His main love (apart from family and whisky) is any water based media and he is most happy when experimenting and pushing boundaries, most recently using different medium bases on which he paints with watercolour and acrylic inks. He took up art eleven years ago, when he retired and has been and still is guided by local professionals. Favourite artists are Turner and Van Gough.

Lisa Taylor

Lisa is from Seaford has had no formal art training but has always enjoyed experimenting with different materials and techniques to create art and craft. She spent around 20 years with the East Sussex County Councils Art and Museum Service and designed and built many museum displays (including making a Victorian kitchen range out of MDF). She is currently painting (her preferred medium is acrylic), creating craft, writing and illustrating a children’s book and is starting her own greetings card business.

Alan Wagstaffe

Alan is self taught, but has “drawn” upon his family’s artistic skills, which include a master blacksmith and farrier and a draughtsman. Alan has always been involved in DIY and his skilled hands naturally “turned” to sculpture, which he took up after retirement. He is now re-establishing his drawing and painting skills at Seaford Art Club.

Dawn Shelly Wells

Dawn studied art and ceramics in the early 70s. From an early age Dawn enjoyed creating unique art in a variety of media.

“I currently paint from a combination of life, landscape, sketches and from my own unique photographs. Subject matter is simply ‘whatever catches my eye’. Up to now that includes local scenes, (usually with a unique twist), individual studies and more recently, a few works in a fun, doodle (doo-dil) style which I developed in my former years.”

Please join us at the exhibition and enjoy.

A new Era for Brooklyn Hyundai On 19th July Brooklyn Hyundai, the family owned company based in Seaford, celebrated the opening of their brand new “state of the art” million pound showroom and reception facilities on their existing site in Claremont Road.

The new premises were officially opened by Tony Whitehorn, President and CEO of Hyundai UK, along with Maeve Mabey, widow of Don Mabey MBE. They also decided to make the day a charity event and managed to raise £1,400 for “Remembering Spencer” a local based charity.

Gerri and Ted Ori, the owners of the business, were overwhelmed by the hundreds of people that attended. Their customers and guests were superbly entertained by the Neal Richardson Jazz trio.

Gerri Ori, Managing Director, explained in his opening speech, “The success of this business has been down to all of our loyal and hardworking staff. Ted and I would like to say a big thank you to all of them. Another thank you goes to our very loyal customers for supporting us over the last thirty-six years.

Tony Whitehorn, President and CEO of Hyundai UK, responded to Gerri’s speech by saying,“Many congratulations to Gerri, Ted and his team on a fantastic new dealership.

The fit and finish, the prominence of the building, the size of the facility and the additional work which is going to be undertaken, is very professional. It clearly reflects the Brooklyn Hyundai brand and I am proud to be part of the opening ceremony.”

Seaford Town Council’s New Deputy Young Mayor Seaford Town Council would like to welcome its new Deputy Young Mayor Gabrielle Edwards!

On 25th July the winner of the ballot was announced in the council chamber by Mayor Mark Brown. It was a very close result with a difference of less than 50 votes between the two candidates out of 300 votes in total. Gabrielle was then presented with her chain of office by Mayor Brown.

As Deputy Young Mayor her duties will include attending public events and supporting the Young Mayor.

SEAFORD MUSICAL THEATRE Juniors Twelve founding members of award-winning community junior theatre group, Seaford Musical Theatre Juniors, were presented with NODA National Youth Awards and Certificates at their third anniversary celebrations in July.

When asked how she feels about becoming Deputy Young Mayor, Gabrielle said, “I feel very proud to be chosen for Deputy Young Mayor and I look forward to representing the youth of Seaford over the coming two years.”

Seaford Rotary Club President, Ray Hazan, and SMTJ Patron, Paul Vaesen, were delighted to greet the youngsters who take part in performances, charity fundraising and community events and projects, and congratulated them for their achievements.

Dahlias v earwigs

t

Is something eating holes in the flowers and leaves of your Dahlias? The culprit is probably the Earwig!

(Forticula Auricularia). These are aggravating little critters that seem to be immune from sprays and pellets available from garden centres. One of the oldest and most effective means of protection is to place several bamboo canes amongst the plants.

Place an upside down plastic flowerpot on top of the cane and stuff it with damp straw, hay or grass. Check the pot every morning and dispose of any unwanted pests. Earwigs are most active in the evenings, especially when the ground is wet.

Therefore water dahlias during the morning when the ground should be dry. Another method is to roll up damp newspaper or sacking and pack into small empty cardboard cereal boxes. Leave on the ground overnight and check in the morning. You cannot catch all these foes but you will limit their damage.

58

list of well-known plants that have a green variety is quite extensive. These include roses, carnations, chrysanthemum, hellebores, gladioli, dianthus, bells of Ireland, sedums and of course heathers (Erica).

With such a vast and extensive range of green colour available this special boarder should be flowering throughout most of the year. If your new green border is successful then try another single colour theme next year. Try a hot border with reds, oranges and dark yellows or a cool border of blues and greys. Be adventurous and ring the changes!

Mike Parker to d

o

very time you switch on the TV someone is telling you to “go green”! Well now it’s my turn to encourage gardeners to try “going green”.

But I’m not talking about the withdrawal of the use of chemicals or insecticides or going organic. I’m suggesting that you consider using only green coloured flowers and plants in an allocated border in the garden.

Such a border can be quite an attractive feature or display. It is surprising how many popular garden flowers come in all shades of green, some with hints of lime, cream and yellow. Take a look through this year’s plant catalogues and you’ll be surprised at the number and variation of green themed plants. For example Thompson & Morgan has the new Nicotiana langsdorfifi (Tobacco Plant) which has distinctive branching stems and pendulous sprays of lime green flowers.

Mixed these with Rudbecia “Prairie Sun” orange and pale yellow flowers with a green central cone. The

Seaford Gardening Club I am sure you have all been enjoying the beautiful summer weather; at least we have also had a few showers (and storms) to lighten the watering duties!

As the Club did not have a July meeting I decided to tell you about our first two outings of the Season 2014.

On 21st May we visited Borde Hill Gardens (right), near Haywards Heath. The weather was good and with a full coach, made a successful half-day trip.

Upon arrival everyone made a bee-line for the eateries to buy lunch, or found a suitable spot for a picnic. Borde Hill was once described in Country Life magazine as truly one of the country’s great gardens, with 17 acres of gardens, lakes and parkland to explore, viewing Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and beautiful shrubs and trees. The afternoon was much enjoyed by us all.

Our next trip was on 14th June to Grey’s Court, near Henley-on-Thames. After a short stop at Cobham

Services we made our way to the house and gardens (formerly owned by Lady Elizabeth Brunner). The house was delightful and so homely. Several of our coach passengers said they could quite happily move in! The entirely organically-managed gardens are most varied and interesting to stroll around. Some of our party even ventured up a rope ladder to the top of the tower! After such an enjoyable afternoon we had a delicious tea in very relaxing surroundings, then boarded the coach, tired but content, to return home. Two very successful outings.

Our new season commences on Wednesday 24th September, with a talk by Joanna Wilkins on “The History of Gardening”. The meeting will start at 7.30pm in the Clinton Centre, Clinton Place, Seaford (using the front door, opposite Tesco). Visitors are most welcome to attend for a fee of £2. Annual subscriptions of £10 are due that evening for 2014-15. There are no extra charges.

Refreshments are available and raffles are held periodically.

Please come along for a warm welcome and an enjoyable, informative evening. Further information on the Club can be obtained by telephoning Anne Silk on 01323 491331 or by visiting www.seaford-sussex.co.uk/sgc.

Wow! What a wonderful summer this has been for produce. The runner beans at Seaford Community Garden at the Crouch have romped away and we’ve been weighing up bag after bag of green deliciousness to sell at the gate. The only sting in the tail is that not all the bright orange flowers have been pollinated, evidence, worryingly, of the scarcity of bees, so next year we will be looking into sowing varieties that do not rely on pollination.

The courgettes have been so successful that they turned into something of a large problem, unless you prefer marrows that is! For while we have been picking for the Wednesday

Green Waste Recycling Service

and Saturday morning openings N-one has told the courgettes to hold back and somehow they manage to grow six inches in all directions in the intervening days. Anyone know a good recipe for stuffed marrow?

Speaking of which, Stephanie is collecting volunteers’ recipes and quite a few of her own, to put them on our website at www.seaford-sussex.co.uk/ scg so that we can suggest how to cook our glorious veg. This year the veg beds and poly tunnel have produced copious quantities of everything, including tasty French beans, carrots, onions, tomatoes, beetroot, salad leaves, herbs, peppers and chillies, plus raspberries and blackberries, much of which is for sale on Wednesdays between 9.30am and 12.30pm and Saturdays between 10am and noon.

Currently we have our heads buried in bulb catalogues and have already ordered hyacinths, which we hope will be potted up ready for Christmas, and Tête a Tête daffodils to bring some cheer to January, along with more narcissus to cheer us and visitors in the garden.

Visitors have been very kind in donating terracotta pots and we hope to have these decorated and filled for Christmas with grape hyacinths.

This winter will see the blackberries being replaced by more soft fruits, probably to include blackcurrants and strawberries. And we look forward to more workshops by Tricia in the autumn and on. Come into the classroom to see the list of suggested topics, and in so doing enjoy a walk around our lovely garden.

Contrary to what you might think from the above, it’s actually a lot more than an allotment!

Seaford Musical Showtime

On Saturday 26th July, another brilliant evening was organised by Val and Ivor Lawrence of Seaford Musical.

Showtime who arranged an excellent evening with guest players Chris Stanbury playing Yamaha Stagea Organ, and Rosealie Birchmore on the Roland Stage Piano. It was magnificent, taking into consideration that the two had only a few rehearsals that day. As well as their duets, their solo performances were amazing. Rosalie’s pieces were romantic and definetly “easy listening” whilst Chris really set the hall alight with his 50s and 60s renditions.

Unfortunately nobody could get up and jive, though many wanted to, but age took precedence. However there was excellent audience participation and there was nothing wrong with Seaford’s senior voices! These concerts are run every two to three months at Seaford Head School, Arundel Road. It’s a fabulous evening with drinks on entering school and an interval. The cost is £6 with an additional raffle. We are a very friendly bunch of people and looking forward to seeing you there.

Monumentally Memorable Memorial Inscriptions

The Seaford Monumental Inscriptions Group (SeaMIG) is a small bunch of perfectly sane adults with an interest in local history. We have chosen to spend our Saturday mornings in places like St Peter’s or St Leonard’s, crouched down and peering at old stones from odd angles. Or shining any available sun at them with mirrors to pick out the fading lettering. And we like it!

There are lots of reasons why, varying from purely social (we’re friendly, not ghoulish) to wanting to save a part of Seaford’s heritage before more of it is lost, and taking in interesting snippets of the town’s history which we pick up along the way.

So far we have published two books containing the memorial inscriptions at St Peter’s (As I Am Now) and St Leonard’s (Testimony Of Regard), which can be obtained via the SeaMIG website – www.seamig.org.uk.

The site itself includes the inscriptions we have recorded, but not the full descriptions of the memorials to be found in the books. It is illustrated, however, so do have a browse.

We are now starting on the reading and recording of the memorials in Seaford Cemetery (pictured), a task which may take us some time. There are many interesting monuments spread across the site, and pieces of Seaford’s history emerge from them. If you would like to give inscription reading a try, do send us a message from the “contact us” page at www.seamig.org.uk, or give Ailsa a ring on Seaford 01323 891411.

The Industrial estate, GREEN STREET, EASTBOURNE, BN21 1QN OPEN 9.15am TO 1PM Tues TO SAT. Closed Sun & Mon. Telephone: 01323 417518 So many of Jean and Harvey Mockford’s Seaford customers recommend them or place new orders, that they do not need to advertise, however many are unaware that the ten year lease on the shop in Sutton Road has expired. As their customers in Seaford are too numerous to contact individually, this notice of their address and telephone number will appear in the Seaford Scene each month.

Nothing else has changed, they still regard themselves as Seaford’s Blindmakers albeit based 15 minutes away in Eastbourne, where their headquarters have been for more than a quarter of a century.

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

BUY-To-lets Following this year’s budget announcement regarding the changes to pension rights, this could lead more pensioners into the buy-to-let market in search of an alternative income to traditional pension annuities/options or savings; to ensure them and their family’s future financial security Buy-to-let property has proved popular in recent years due to low interest rates and stock market volatility. Like any investment, consider your attitude to risk; buy-to- let comes with no guarantees, but if you have faith in bricks and mortar as opposed to stocks and shares this could be the way forward.

Since the Bank of England’s announcement that interest rates will stay at the current low of 0.5% until late 2015. Optimism around the UK’s financial recovery, coupled with the Bank of England’s announcement makes good reading for anyone considering a buy-to-let investment. This is evidenced by the significant number of landlords looking to add property to their portfolios. Interest rates will eventually rise and this could stretch the budgets for some Landlords. Anyone thinking about a buy-to-let investment should remember this is a mid to long term investment.

Consider your ‘investment horizon’, ie the period

equity – the very best buy-to-let deals can be available to those with around 40% deposit/60% loan to value (LTV).

Top tips for buy-to-let: 1. Research the market – consult with other property investors/Landlords. Consider the mortgage and set up costs involved over your intended investment period. Speak with an independent financial adviser who can assist with your requirements. Confer with local letting agents regarding the demand for buy to let properties.

2. Location, location, location – the right property in the right place at the right price.

Research the local area thoroughly including local demographics, amenities and the rental rates for a comparable property as well as good transport links.

3. Do the sums – Lenders typically require rent to cover 125% of the mortgage repayments and will require a minimum 25% deposits. The best buy-to-let mortgages can also come with a substantial arrangement fee.

4. Get the right mortgage – if you are not investing with cash, having the right mortgage is key, this is particularly true if you are approaching or past retirement age. Consider using an independent financial adviser who can shop around for the best deal for you.

5. Consider your tenants – gone are the days when it was just students and young people renting property. These days all generations rent.

6 Clinton Place, Seaford BN25 1NL 6. Don’t be over ambitious – Rent should be the key return for buy-to-let. Most buy-to-let mortgages are done on an interest only basis, so the amount borrowed will not be paid off over time. If you can get a rental return substantially more than your mortgage payments, you will be able to build up a good emergency fund, or saving/ investing any extra cash. Bear in mind a home does come with running costs and these could eat into your return.

7. Consider the purchase price – as a buyto-let investor, you have the same advantages as a first time buyer when it comes to negotiating on price. If you are not reliant on selling a property to buy another and you are not part of a chain, you represent less of a risk of a sale falling through.

This can be a major advantage when negotiating on price.

from your first property or it will be much more difficult to expand your portfolio in the future.

To ensure your first buy-to-let investment is a success: 1. Know what property prices have grown at over the last 10-20 years naturally in the area where you are planning to invest.

2. Always make sure you buy a property you can instantly add value to, ideally at a 10% discount or adding 10% value through renovation or additional rooms.

3. When you have found a property, check what it was worth in 2009 when they were at their lowest, via property price websites, this will help to work out what the property value may fall to if we have another credit crunch.

4. Check out what properties are renting for.

The rental price advertised is not necessarily the

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN & SEAFORD LIONS CLUB July is the first month of the Lions’ year and it is always a very busy one on our fund-raising calendar with the Peacehaven Donkey Derby. The first two weeks were spent walking around Peacehaven knocking on doors and selling our programme. This culminated in the actual Donkey Derby, opened by the mayor of Peacehaven and the mayor of Telscombe. It was a great day with plenty of sunshine and a large crowd. Thanks to all the people of Peacehaven and the surrounding area for their support in helping us to raise about £6,500. We did have one rider fall off her donkey and hurt herself, but thanks to the rapid response from St John and her trip to hospital she was pronounced fit after a few days rest, and she wants to ride again at Seaford. By the time you read this, we will already have had the Seaford Donkey Derby and we hope it will be just as successful. Look out for a report and pictures next time.

Having raised the money for use in the community we have already given out almost £1,000. £300 is going to a

Another £300 has gone to Newhaven Cricket Club towards the purchase of a bowling machine for the youngsters (photo above).

COMING EVENT: FREE DIABETES TESTING

On Saturday 20th September 2014 we are holding another session of testing for Diabetes. Diabetes is a common health condition. About 1.4 million people in the UK are known to have diabetes — that’s about three in every 100 people. There are also an estimated one million people in the UK who have diabetes but don’t know it, and this could lead to serious problems if it is not treated, hence our free testing in the Peacehaven Meridian Centre. Last year our nurses tested nearly 100 people and of these 22 were considered high risk and 13 were referred to their doctors. None of these people suspected their condition.

Come along to the Meridian Centre on Saturday 20th September 2014 and have a free test. Put your mind at rest, don’t be one of a million who do not know they have a disease that can seriously affect your life.

10am until 12 noon Free diabetes testing 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.

The Slater Trail An art trail inspired by Seaford print maker Eric Slater, is now available as a free download online.

Slater (1896–1963) lived in Seaford for more than 30 years and was inspired by the landscape near his home.

The trail, which features approximate views of five of his colour woodcuts, starts and finishes near the Martello Tower, which is discernible in his most famous print “Seaford Head.” From there it is a short stroll to Splash Point which has changed considerably since Slater’s 1929 print “Rough Sea”. From Splash Point the trail continues to South Hill Barn and then down towards the sea past a view similar to Slater’s “Cuckmere Haven”.

The fourth view is the “Coastguard Station” – much nearer to the cliff edge than in Slater’s day. Then, keeping West of the River Cuckmere, it’s up towards the A 259 turning left across a field before the Cuckmere Inn (formerly the Golden Galleon). Heading towards Chyngton Farm, there’s a view similar to Slater’s last known print – “The Stackyard” which he made in 1938.

Finally it’s back to the Martello Tower via South Hill Barn and Seaford Head golf course. The walk, which you can also start and finish at South Hill Barn, takes about two hours.

You can download a fuller description, including a map and the five prints from www.ericslater.co.uk * On September 12th,13th, 14th there’s a Slater exhibition in the Turkey barn at the Seven Sisters Visitor Centre and another exhibition at the Crypt in Seaford on Nov 14th/15th. Cards, prints and books will be on sale.

Swingtime at The Barn Theatre The September show at The Barn Theatre 10th-13th September takes you into the world of swingtime jazz for a glittering presentation of “The Singers and Swingers Club”.

The story is set on the opening night of “Duke’s Place” a new jazz club in downtown New York owned by the notorious mobster Frankie Barretto, aka The Duke. The manager Sammy Jordan receives devastating news that the tour bus and his all-star line up of singers has been stopped by police and everyone has been arrested for possession of drugs.

Sammy knows that a flop on opening night means he is likely to end up as dog meat. Experience the unfolding drama within the club as the hapless Sammy starts to find replacement artists from the most unlikely places. He might just pull it off!

In a ground-breaking style the audience will become part of the cabaret club, complete with live band, singers, exotic dancers and waitresses serving drinks and snacks during the performance. Free drink for anyone dressed in gangster and moll style.

The innovative show runs from 10th -13th September and opens nightly at 7.30pm with an additional matinée on Saturday. “The Singers and Swingers Club” has been conceived and written by Seaford Musical Theatre members,Tony Still and Susan James, with musical direction provided by Russell Taylor.

Tickets are available from Tourist Information at 37 Church Street Seaford or online from www.ticketsource.co.uk/ thebarntheatre. £9 in raised seating and £12 for table seats. Children under 16, £6 but must be accompanied by an adult.The show is not suitable for very young children.

Sea Sunday SERVICE The second Sunday in the month of July is Sea Sunday when seafarers are remembered throughout the country.

Bishopstone arranged its own commemoration at St Andrews Church in the village on Sunday 13th July. It was organised by Captain Christopher Laycock, a retired Merchant Navy Captain. The service was led by the Rector of the United Benefice of St Peter’s Blatchington and St Andrew’s Bishopstone, the Revd Canon Dr Andrew Mayes. The guest preacher was the Revd Colin Noyce OCM(RN) from Portsmouth, who is also a chaplain to the Mission to Seafarers.

The Mayors of Newhaven and Seaford were in attendance as well as a group of Royal Naval personnel from HMS Sutherland. Following the fund-raising lunch, which was held in the Village Hall after the service, the Mayor of Seaford, Cllr Mark Brown, presented a cheque to the Mission to Seafarers. This consisted of the proceeds from the recent Veterans and Armed Forces Day together with a donation from the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George.

In his address, the Mayor of Seaford congratulated Bishopstone on a splendid occasion.

Chairman of the joint Veterans and Armed Forces Day Committee, Major Bob Peedle MBE, explained how the money had been raised and that the chosen charity of this year’s event was the Mission to Seafarers.

The Armed Forces Day had been financed with grants from Newhaven and Peacehaven Town Councils with administrative support with personnel, printing and publicity from Seaford Town Council. The refreshments for invited guests and all veterans on parade was financed jointly by the Seaford Branch of The Royal British Legion and the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society

In receiving the cheque on behalf of the Mission to Seafarers, Revd Colin Noyce thanked everyone for the effort and explained where the money will be used. He also welcomed the fact that raising the donation had been a joint effort.

Inspiration also comes from my mind. In this case humour often raises it’s happy head. Much of this work results in cartoon form – often showing the world from an alternative point-of-view or simply being silly, quirky and surreal. If my work makes people smile or laugh (in a good way) then I am happy, and if I give them new thoughts and ideas to take home then that’s a bonus.

MARTELLO ROTARY CLUB

Martello Rotary Club of Seaford Donates to Children with Cancer Fund At a recent meeting of the Martello Rotary Club members welcomed Chris Downton and Peter Harwood from Children with Cancer Fund (CWCF).

The charity’s aims are to support children from East Sussex and Brighton & Hove up to the age of 18 and their families, who have suffered or are suffering from a form of cancer. Chris provided examples of how they have provided many wishes, ranging from a new bed, a helicopter ride, bikes, a Wii and a limo ride. CWCF provides fun times for families that are experiencing the trauma of cancer, but the most important thing they do is to bring families together with other families experiencing the same problems. President of the Martello Club, Dave Winsor, thanked them for updating the club and presented them with a cheque for £500.

CWCF is one of his chosen charities for his year in office.

Seaford Youth Sports Awards How many different sports are played in Seaford and Alfriston?

This is a question we have been asking ourselves to understand what sporting activity is on offer to young people in this community. There are many sports which have a huge following like the football club for both boys and girls. However, there are sports which we know very little about.

It is well documented that young people should participate in physical activity to learn skills for living such as working together as a team, perseverance, overcoming physical and mental challenges and being a good competitor with a will to succeed. It is also extremely positive for their health.

To highlight what we have on offer in Seaford and Alfriston the Martello Rotary Club of Seaford is holding the Seaford Youth Sports Awards on November 22nd at Seaford Head Upper School. We need all the sports

100

clubs in Seaford to nominate at least one individual or team to make this a really positive event for the area.

Are there any young people out there who have specific handicaps but still participate in sporting experiences?

Para sports are now a part of major sporting events across the world. Do we have young cyclists, archers, athletes, bowls players, horse riders, gymnasts, volleyball players, karate/judo representative, boxers, sailors or young people representing: netball, football, cricket, rugby, hockey, tennis, swimming and diving etc?

There are probably many sports left out of this list, which is why we would like to hear from all sports clubs and individuals who take part or organise sporting opportunities for young people in Seaford and Alfriston. We would like to hear from all of you! Phone: 01323 873389 Email: sportsaward@martellorotary.org.uk Website: sportsaward.martellorotary.org.uk Reminder: Nominations in before September 30th 2014

Martello Rotary Club – 11th Annual Proms Concert

Martello Rotary are pleased to announce the details for their 11th Annual PROMS CONCERT. This will be on Saturday 11th October 2014, 7.30pm at Seaford Head Community College, Arundel Road, Seaford.

Martello Rotary - Tavern in the Tent

The Club’s Tavern in The Tent has been in action over the summer, helping to raise funds which can be used to support local good causes.

The first event was at the Armed Forces Day on Martello Fields in June which was a success, followed by our first appearance at the RNLI Fete in Newhaven in

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

early July. We then took the Tavern to Bishopstone Fete in early August and we were lucky with the weather, having a fabulous sunny day which encouraged all the visitors to have a beer or two!

The process of transporting all the equipment, putting up the Tavern and running the bar is a lot of hard work, but it is very rewarding when we can report a useful profit, and we are already planning ahead for events in 2015.

Contact us at seafordmartellorotary@gmail.com if you would like us to be at your event to provide liquid refreshment!

Martello Summer Extravaganza

On Sunday 3rd August Seaford Museum, based at the Martello Tower on the seafront, joined forces with the Martello Rotary Club to put on the Summer Extravaganza.

This is an annual event which enables much-needed funds to be raised. The weather was good, and the event made a significant contribution to museum funds.

The Martello Rotary Club set up its Tavern in the Tent for the sale of sandwiches, cakes, teas and coffees, and ran a tombola and bottle stall.

President Dave Winsor said, “I would like to thank everyone who came along to support the event, we have raised very useful funds, which we can donate to local charities and good causes.�

The Martello Rotary Club meets on Monday evenings at Seaford Golf Club and welcomes new members.

Amazing week for Driftwood garden in Bishopstone

Local Seaford gardener, Geoff Stonebanks, was blown away when it was confirmed that his garden was to be featured on Good Morning Britain on Monday 14th July! Weather girl, Laura Tobin, arrived at 4am with a film crew and set up in the garden for the morning. There

were eight filmed sequences completed in the garden, with Laura showing all aspects of the front beach garden and the incredible rear garden as she delivered the country’s weather forecast for the day! Ex-Mayor, Linda Wallraven, was among the invited guests and spoke, live on air, about Geoff ’s fundraising achievments locally.

Geoff was also interviewed twice by Laura at 6.40am and 8.15am live on air, about his passion for gardening and how incredible it was for his garden to be selected from hundreds of entries as the first of five gorgeous gardens to be featured on Good Morning Britain that week. Good Morning Britain had commissioned five garden gnomes of the TV presenters including Laura and Geoff had coveted one to add to his own collection of antique gnomes since their arrival the night before! As a thank you to Geoff for taking such good care of the crew Laura presented him with the gnome of herself to add to the collection. Geoff said “I can’t tell you how amazing it has been to have had my garden featured on national television! I have been very lucky to have seen it in national magazines and newspapers in the UK and even seen it appear in a national French magazine this year too, but on television, incredible!”

Seaford Mayor went MAD4Families Seaford Mayor, Cllr Mark Brown, joined with the team from Waves family support charity and Seaford based folk band The Band of Brothers, to celebrate the launch of a new campaign supporting families in Seaford.

The event was held at Seaford Constitutional Club and consisted of an evening of music, raffle and Name the Bear competition.

The main aim of the evening was to launch the new campaign MAD4Families (Make A Difference for Families), where Waves is seeking 400 Seaford residents to give £4 per month to support local families at their time of need. Signing up entitles you to a limited-edition MAD mug!

104

Waves family charity, Seaford (not to be confused with Wave Leisure) is one of Mayor Mark Brown’s chosen charities for the year. Vicky Martin, chair of Waves said: “Mark’s support has been invaluable in raising awareness of the charity at a time when we have been at our busiest. It seems benefit changes and changes in culture have all had their mark of our society. Families, and our children, are paying the price.

“Stress and family breakdown has never been so prevalent as we are now experiencing. However, Waves will continue to try to help Seaford families in the best way we can and whilst we can, but our own funds are getting harder to raise and find too!”

For more information about Waves, or to become a MAD4Families supporter, then please visit their website on www.wavesseaford.org.uk Photos: Seaford Band, The Band of Brothers at the WAVES’ MAD4Families launch event in Seaford.

Transport Forum for Seaford Area The Seaford Community Partnership, a co-ordinating and advisory body which looks to raise Seaford’s needs and strengths in Councils and other public forums, has been looking at transport needs across the town.

Seaford Seniors’ Forum has been doing the same, especially regarding transport to hospitals and clinics in Eastbourne, Bexhill and Hastings. Other groups, such as Cycle Seahaven, and the Seaford and Newhaven Access Group, have also raised concerns about the lack of provision, and the lack of co-ordination across the town.

There have been groups, such as the former Seaford Residents’ Association, which campaigned for safer cycle routes to schools. There has been debate for and against cycling on the promenade. And now the future of local bus services, including the 126, are very much in the balance with the deadline for public comment to ESCC coming before the end of September.

There are other new developments, such as the Brighton-Seaford Working Group of the Sussex

Community Rail Partnership, which put on the successful Seaford Rail 150 and has been improving Seaford Station. Seaford’s voice is heard strongly in this forum.

To co-ordinate, rationalise and strengthen local debate about transport needs, and solutions, the SCP and the Seaford Seniors are hosting a new Transport Working Group (rather like the existing Seafront Group) and are hoping to hear from people who would like to be involved. It will be a talking shop at first, but also a listening ear, to hear what the local needs are and then to campaign for them.

It hopes to hear from drivers, walkers, cyclists, electric-buggy-users, Cuckmere and CTLA buses, taxi drivers, horse-riders, commuters and leisure travellers.

If you think you have something to contribute to such a group please contact SCP’s Peter White on peterwhitecrier@hotmail.com or write to the Seniors’ David Argent at 7 Cradle Hill Road, Seaford BN25 3H, stating your area of interest.

Based on the level of response there will be a small group meeting, or a public meeting in a hall, to launch the project in the autumn.

Rotary Club of Seaford

President Ray Takes Over RYLA Success

This year the three candidates chosen by the Rotary Club of Seaford for the Rotary Youth Leadership Award course (RYLA), held at High Ashurst Outdoor Activity Centre in Dorking, were (left to right in photo) Marianne Best, Florence Hardy and Ella Edwards.

The young people were chosen for their contribution to our community. Marianne Best has been a radio presenter at Seahaven FM for four years and presents her Evening show from 5 – 7pm every Sunday.

Florence Hardy was part of the Girl Guides and recently went on a trip to Peru, sponsored by The Seaford Rotary Club, to help disabled children there. Ella Edwards has been volunteering at Seaford Lifeguards for four years and helps organise events as well as regularly lifeguarding our local beaches. The girls said, “There is no doubt that it was a full-on week, with stressful and challenging activities, but we all agree that it helped us grow and equipped us with vital team skills, not only for a career in later life, but for everyday life too. Personally, we have never pushed ourselves quite as much as we did during this week and it was quite extraordinary in how much we got back from this experience. Above all our confidence grew tremendously whilst on this trip and it really is such a worthwhile experience. We’ve made many friends and have been keeping in touch – already we have had a couple of “RYLA reunions!” Without the sponsorship of the Rotary Club of Seaford and the help from Peter Posgate and Ray Richardson, we couldn’t have gone on RYLA and are all incredibly grateful to them – we cannot thank you enough!”

Tom’s Adventure by Mum Sarah Webb

“I am sending you this picture because Seaford Rotary club very generously donated £250 towards my son

108

Tom’s fundraising for an exchange trip to Canada. The photo of Tom (left) was taken on arrival with Scout billet Matthew McIsaac shortly after they met face to face for the first time.

The scouts and leaders plus around 20 others, left on Wednesday 30th July for 18 days. The trip includes a week of camping at the Haliburton Scout Reserve and various day trips around the Toronto area. All of this will be with a group of Canadian scouts and their leaders who will in turn visit us here in two years’ time. Tom has been getting very excited, and a little nervous, as the trip came closer.

It is going to be an amazing experience for him and we are very grateful to the Rotary club for contributing to his £1,000 of fundraising which has paid for his place on the trip.”

World Record

Wednesday 2nd July 2014 saw ten Seaford Rotarians helping at a World Record attempt at Seaford Head School. The aim was to run a Reading Lesson in a number of schools at exactly the same time to break the World Record for the Largest Reading Lesson in Multiple Venues, which involved eight schools in Eastbourne, Hailsham and Seaford. The Rotary Club of Seaford was approached to provide independent witnesses to the record attempt.

So, we all gathered at the Sports Hall at Seaford Head School where over 200 Year 7 students studied the poem Half-Caste by John Agard with their teachers, with us observing to make sure that everything was in order. At the end we filled out forms to ratify that the numbers recorded by the School were correct, and that the lesson had been conducted properly.

It was all a thoroughly interesting experience, made even more interesting when the fire bell went off just before we got to Reception to sign out!

Seaford Head School staff were most grateful for what we had done to help them in the World Record Attempt, and the attempt has since been ratified to appear in the Guinness Book of Records! Well done to all involved!

Presentation to Seaford Musical Theatre Juniors

Paula Woolven, Director, Seaford Musical Theatre Juniors said, “A huge thank you to Seaford Rotary President Ray and SMTJ Patron and Rotarian Paul, for presenting twelve of our young members with their NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association) Youth Awards and Certificates at our Third Anniversary Celebrations yesterday. Rebecca, Tyanna, Samuel, Kyle, Alice, Danny, Rosie, Holly, Cameron, Charlie, Connie and Aimee were recognised for three years of commitment, performances, fundraising and community involvement using performing arts. It was a wonderful afternoon and we are grateful for the continued support of Seaford Rotary for us – the only charity community performing arts group for young people in a very wide area. Here’s to the next three years!”

30-Year-Old Twins meet to plan the next 30

KITCHENS BATHROOMS BEDROOMS HOME OFFICE THE ONE STOP SHOP FOR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE & REFURBISHMENT NO JOB TOO SMALL

Seaford’s Twinning Association signed historic Twinning Charters with German town Bönningstedt in both towns in 1984.

The 30th Anniversary has just been celebrated in both towns.

Many of the original members are no longer with us, and as German is not taught in many greater-Seaford schools, usyoung on 01323 490048It there is less interest Call from the in visiting Germany. also has to compete with Spanish beaches, Alpine slopes Monday to Friday: 9am - 5pm | Saturday: and adventure holidays in today’s widening world.

9am - 3pm

www.stckitchensandbathrooms.co.uk

The Twinning Association has started a Plauschgruppe, a Conversation Group for German speakers. So far 74 people have expressed interest, and the monthly meetings in pubs and cafés have attracted up to 40 people. They speak, sing, cook and make visits using German as the lingua franca. Members have all standards of German, and all sorts of backgrounds, but enjoy their German language.

On Friday 5th September the Seaford Twinning Association has its AGM, at 7.45pm in Claremont Hall. As well as the usual bring-and-share drinks, and American Supper, raffle and review of the twinning visit this year, the brief business meeting will be asked to consider putting the STA and Plauschgruppe together, so members of both groups are encouraged to attend. This joint group could look forward to a monthly language meeting, and a monthly social event. The visits to and from the twin town would continue. There would be joint events also: currently suggested are an Oktoberfest Evening, and a Stall at Seaford’s Christmas Magic event on December 6th.

The meeting, as with most AGM’s, is open to all, but guests are encouraged to bring drinks and a plate of food to share. For more details of the STA or the Plauschgruppe please ring Peter (Chairman) on 01323 897360, Liz (Membership) on 01323 896315, or email peterwhitecrier@hotmail.com There is also a website: www.seaford-sussex.co.uk/sta/ Peter White

FRIENDS OF SEAFORD LIBRARY UPDATE As most of you will know by now, after the July edition of Seaford Scene went to press, the official opening date of the new library was announced as Tuesday August 26th, so by the time this notice appears in print the new building will be open for business! The Friends Of Seaford Library would like to congratulate the library authorities on progressing this important milestone in the town’s history; we understand that a “Ceremonial” opening will be held later.

Meanwhile, the Friends would like to remind supporters that we have our second “Book Reading” event on Thursday September 11th at 2pm in the Little Theatre.

Entry will be £2 including refreshments. Members of FOSL and guests will read selected passages from their favourite books. Last year’s event produced plenty of laughter, and the occasional shock, so don’t miss this time!
