Welcome

Welcome to the September issue of Seaford Scene. It’s the end of the summer holidays and back to school.

Did you have a good summer? I hope so because apparently September is the start of autumn! I’m hoping there will still be a few more warm, sunny days left this year.

This month it’s Seaford Live! – ten days of music, arts and entertainment in various venues across Seaford. More details throughout this issue and on the what’s on pages, 133 to 137. Macmillan Cancer Support are raising funds this month, with their ‘Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning’ along with updates from funds raised through the Coastal Garden Trail and ‘Brave the Shave’. Seaford Community Cinema is opening it’s doors again for the new season of films, page 11 and the new term commences with Seaford U3A, page 64. Thinking about getting back on a bike again but feeling a little nervous? Then perhaps an e-bike is the one for you – see page 84 for more information. So come on everyone, the summer’s not over yet, let’s kick off with Seaford Live! and get out and enjoy ourselves!

Seaford Seafront Litter and Dog Walking Seaford is well known for its attractive and unspoiled seafront and parks; so many visitors come to enjoy the town and especially the beach during sunny weather.

Unfortunately with such an increase in visitors on the finer days, Seaford experiences a variety of unpleasant litter and other waste problems.

Seaford Town Council would like to encourage all visitors to help them ensure the seafront remains an enjoyable space for everyone. Regular litter problems are seen when visitors either overfill a bin or leave there waste next to a bin that is already full. Many will bag their waste to make collection easier, however often the litter is attacked by seagulls before it is removed, resulting in the litter being blown all over the beach and promenade.

Seaford Town Council is encouraging all visitors to take care of the seafront. If you have any litter with you and find that a bin is full, please either find another bin with

space, or ideally take your litter home with you. The Town Council is working with Lewes District Council to improve waste collection services, however this comes at a cost. New large capacity bins were installed in 2014, but similar problems are still being experienced on busy days.

Seaford Town Council would also ask that visitors refrain from feeding wildlife as this encourages them to return regularly and scavenge for food.

The disposal of Barbecues should also be done with care; again it is recommended that any litter is taken home but if disposing of used Barbecues be sure to fully extinguish with plenty of water before placing near any other waste.

There have been numerous bin fires due to still hot barbecues being placed in the bins.

For dog walkers visiting the seafront; please also take care to observe the dog ban areas in effect along the seafront.

There are signs along the promenade displaying the designated areas either for ‘Dogs on Leads’ or ‘No Dogs allowed’. Dog owners are also reminded to please pick up after your pets; this allows all other users to enjoy the wonderful unspoiled beach.

For information on the seafront and dog ban by-laws please visit the Seaford Town Council website www. seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk or contact the Council if you have any questions either by email admin@ seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk or call the office on 01323 894870.

Past Mayor Presents Cheques to Charities

lady wife for all their support throughout the year, which resulted in such wonderful sum being raised, enabling us to carry on work of helping families in our town of Seaford. In expressing our gratitude for the money raised we would also thank them for the moral support and encouragement they gave us throughout the year.”

Recently past Mayor Mark Brown presented cheques to his two chosen charities Waves and Seahaven Storehouse.

The money was raised throughout Councillor Brown’s Mayoral year at various events, including the Mayor’s Garden Trail, Mayor’s Christmas Carol Service and the Mayor’s May Day Charity Ball. It was then equally split with a total of around £2,430 raised for each charity. The past Mayor also supported both charities through the year at their own events. He especially enjoyed the Waves Family Picnic and Fun Day and assisting with multiple food collections at Morrisons for Seahaven Storehouse.

Head of Seahaven Storehouse Dawn Woodgate, said, “We are so grateful to Cllr Mark Brown for his help and support over the two years we have been in operation.

We have greatly benefitted both from receiving this wonderful cheque, which will give us funds to help feed needy families, and also from the extra publicity which has given us greater visibility locally. We have immensely enjoyed working with Mark and are looking forward to our continued association with him.”

Seaford Community Cinema Gala opening

Come along to the launch of the new season at Seaford Community Cinema as it reopens its doors with a special showing of the film ‘Firelight’ on Friday 18th September.

Its writer/director, Sussex-based William Nicholson, will introduce the film and audience members will have a chance to put their questions to him in a post show Q&A session. After first channelling his writing ambition into novels, William joined the BBC as a documentary film maker and then went on to television drama.

Firelight was the first and only film he wrote and directed himself and is of particular local interest, being filmed on location at nearby Firle Place.

This passionate period drama tells the story of a young woman in need of money who agrees to bear a child to

an anonymous man.

Despite promising never to try to discover anything about him, six years later she arrives at his home in rural Sussex as the new governess to his daughter. The dilemma deepens as they try to resist resuming their former relationship.

This first night of the exciting new programme is the perfect opportunity to find out more about your local community cinema, meet like minded people in a sociable setting and find out more about how you can get involved. The event starts at 7.30pm, but you are welcome to arrive up to half an hour before to enjoy a drink in the bar.

To keep in touch and find out how you can get more involved in your local community cinema, why not join us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ seafordcinema Tickets, film programme and membership details from www.seafordcinema.org

Macmillan Coastal Garden Trail The 4th annual Macmillan Coastal Garden Trail got off to a wonderful party atmosphere at both Driftwood, home of trail organiser Geoff Stonebanks, in Marine Drive and the Seaford Community Garden, both in Seaford!

2014 TV Gardener of the Year, as voted for by readers of national gardening magazine, Christine Walkden was on hand to cut the ribbon at Driftwood surrounded by many visitors and was serenaded with a group of singers as she entered the Community Garden in the town.

Geoff says “I had invited Christine to be the patron several years ago and she readily agreed on the basis that she may not be able to attend the event in person.

I was stunned last Autumn when she confirmed she would visit Seaford and open the trail.”

Geoff went on to say, “Christine had driven home to Hertfordshire from Manchester on the Friday, then to Seaford early Saturday and left at 1pm to go to Yorkshire for a gardening talk at 8pm! A very busy lady, but one who everyone took to with her very down to earth attitude.” Tom Carter from Macmillan said “Christine spoke with such passion and eloquence in advocating Macmillan Cancer Support that visitors were almost moved to tears!”

At 11am the opening ceremony took place at Driftwood in the presence of local MP, Maria Caulfield, Chair of LDC, Ruth O’Keefe, and Tom Carter, Macmillan’s Fundraising, Manager along with trail organiser, Geoff Stonebanks, not to mention the many garden visitors who had been waiting since 10.30 to see Christine.

After the opening, Geoff gave Christine a tour of the garden and she posed for pictures! Tom Carter’s 2 young children were captivated by the flowers in the garden and by the pet tortoise, Hector. Many wanted a picture with Christine, among them ex-Seaford Mayor Linda Wallraven and Geoff ’s Mum, Barbara, who was selling tickets to the event.

14

Geoff tells us he was quite shocked that visitors had travelled the distances they had to see his garden and then view other gardens on the trail. Angela and Gerald Taylor had travelled up from Paignton in Devon. Others from Essex and London as well as the Surrey borders.

After spending time at Driftwood, Geoff took Christine to the Seaford Community Garden where she was greeted on her arrival by the assembled choir, who struck up on seeing her. Many visitors were in the garden to see her and she was given a tour of the plot.

On returning to Driftwood she talked again with visitors and then drove north for her next engagement. Many visitors sat and enjoyed the tea and cakes on offer in the gardens too some with great views out to sea at Driftwood.

Geoff says Saturday was a marvellous day with much money raised for Macmillan. The Mayors along the coast also took time to visit the gardens as well and lend their support.

Sunday however was a complete disaster with the dreadful high winds and rain that prevailed most of the day. Many gardens saw no visitors at all, all day. Geoff tells of 2 intrepid ladies from Hailsham who phoned to see if he was open before driving to Seaford and spending 1.5 hours in the garden and the heated summer house for tea and cake.

Over £6,000 has been raised for Macmillan but had the weather not struck on Sunday, he would have hit his £10,000 target with no bother! Such a shame!

Seaford Striders

Two 1st for Seaford Striders at the Brighton Phoenix 10k Seaford Striders recently participated in the Brighton Phoenix 10K. A lovely summer’s evening should make for ideal running conditions, unfortunately that night was rather hot and humid.

The route is a fast out and back starting on the promenade at Hove lawns, going to the lagoon and returning after the delights of Shoreham docks.

Finn McNally (Phoenix) triumphed in 31:01, while elite class runners for the Striders were Simon Fletcher whose 36:12 secured a superb 1st place in his age group and Gareth Hutchinson whose 37:01 also saw him come in comfortably within the sub 40 minute category.

Not hanging around either was Phil Robinson 41:41, Pete Weeks 45.42 and Scott Hitchcock 47:27. Flying as far as the ladies were concerned, Sue Garner 50:00, quite rightly secured first in her age group and, still improving following protracted injury, Jackie Webber 51:26.

Exhibiting consistent pace Chris Le Beau 54:01 and Tom Roper 1:01:06 showed great determination in the heat.

‘Team Lily-Mae’ support the Chartwell Cancer Trust at the London 10K John Kingshott, along with his son Kevin and a group of friends, joined a team of 250 in support of the Chartwell Cancer Trust, when along with nearly 14,000 runners they ran the London 10K. Collectively they raised a magnificent sum of £16,000, which will enable the Trust to support many more children and their families who are suffering from cancer.

John, his family and friends were running in memory of John’s granddaughter, 3-year-old Lily-Mae, who sadly lost her battle with a very rare liver and lung cancer on 25th July 2014. The Chartwell Cancer Trust provided magnificent support for Lily Mae and her family during a very long and harrowing period. ‘Team Lily-Mae’ (photo above) want to raise as much money as possible to thank the Chartwell Cancer Trust and to enable them to continue to provide support for similar families.

From this year’s race John has currently raised £481 but ‘Team Lily-Mae’ is hoping to push it’s collective total into the thousands. If you would like to offer your support, please go to www.virginmoneygiving.com/ JohnKingshott.

Running Commentary...

There are very many reasons why people are drawn to the sport of running, and just as long a list of possible consequences. Inevitably, there will be a few who realise that running is not for them, but the vast majority will enjoy the experience and settle into a level of commitment that suits their lifestyle. It is interesting to ponder what it is that then influences the distance that people run. Why are some runners happy to make 10km or an hour of running their longest run, while others have a strong urge to run further and further. Is it greed? Does the enjoyment factor increase the further you run? Is it a cheap way of doing a spot of shopping in Eastbourne? Perhaps it’s a love of numbers, mankind’s natural competitiveness or a desire to stretch oneself.

When you’ve mastered running ten kilometres and then ten miles do you enter a half marathon race, and if you do, what then? Do you follow the popular trend of running a full marathon? Is that the pinnacle of running achievement? No, of course not. So what about an ultramarathon? Why stop at just 26.2 miles? But why run an ultra… or, why not run an ultra? It’s difficult to explain.

Of the ten ultra-marathons that I’ve done, only one,

the London to Brighton 55-mile race, was on road, and in a way, it was the least enjoyable.

The others were all off road and full of good memories, and that might be a clue as to why ultras are steadily increasing in popularity. Check the Sussex Races website and you’ll see all their ultras are off road.

Later this month there is the High Weald Challenge 50km Ultra Trail Race which starts and finishes in Groombridge, near Tunbridge Wells. Much of the route follows the long distance paths of The High Weald Landscape Trail, The Weald Way and The Vanguard Way. It takes in plenty of the beautiful Sussex countryside, and a small bit of Kent in the closing miles. The route is about 80% off road, allowing runners to enjoy the rolling hills, the patchwork of fields and ancient woodland, as well as offering stunning views from the open heathland of Ashdown Forest, and also includes running over the famous Pooh Sticks Bridge (immortalised in A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh books.)

Footpaths, bridleways, farm tracks and quiet country lanes are delightful places to run along but they do require a lot of careful navigating from the map and written instructions that runners are given. If big city marathons are at one end of the spectrum of long distance events, then races such as this one are at the other end. No masses of spectators, no noise and bustle of running beside busy roads and no expensive entry fees either.

Instead, there is adventure and exploration, and a chance to escape the ‘rat race’, but with a chance of getting lost if map-reading is not one of your strengths. Though there may be a field of less than 100 runners, the camaraderie amongst them is much greater than in large events, and sometimes that brief friendship will save you from getting lost. There is also an increased sense of achievement too.

If you have run marathons and enjoyed the experience then I would recommend you give ultras a try. However, if they hold no interest for you, the idea of doing 80% of your running off road is still a worthwhile target for your training and shorter distance races.

Have you heard the one about the Sweethearts and the Golf Club?

On Tuesday 28th July two Seaford Communities got together for the first time. Twenty nine members of the intrepid ‘Seaford Sweethearts’ who regularly have fantastic fun evenings where their adventurous WI members try out all sorts of new skills – tightrope walking lessons was one recent example! – came along for an evening of introduction to golf and golf club membership at Seaford Golf Club, following an invitation from Ladies Captain Sue Bradbury and the Ladies Committee.

The Sweethearts are one of a number of forward thinking groups bringing new approaches to Womens Institutes’ meetings. They meet in the evenings once a month and comprise busy mums, working women and others. Jam and Jerusalem is so NOT what they are about!

The evening comprised, amongst other things, basic golf instruction from the club’s Professional Golf Association Instructors, putting competitions, chipping practice and a short session on the range. The Sweethearts Open Championship was played for in order to find their Champion golfer on the first visit to their local Golf Club.

Emma Lynch is the inaugural Seaford Sweethearts Open Champion. She had never held a golf club before the evening and in less than an hour was hitting some lovely 7 iron shots of around one hundred and twenty yards. Her prize was an hour’s lesson with Head Club Professional Chris Lovis plus a box of chocolates. Emma said: ‘I loved it, it was great! I was really grateful for the tuition provided.

I wasn’t sporty at school but perhaps this time I was helped by my long legs...’

The other winners were: Tanya Tullett won the best driving prize on the range; Mandy Gordon was judged to have been the best at chipping and Theresa Keysell was the putting champion. The prizes of chocolates went down rather well...funny that!

Tanya said, ‘I did enjoy it. About twenty years ago I hit a few balls but I really enjoyed it this evening.’ Mandy said that she had enjoyed sport but had never played golf before. When asked who was the recipient of the aggression she showed hitting balls on the range she said “Oh I wouldn’t like to say, but I enjoyed the experience!’

20

Sarah Delahaye Dean got an honourable mention as she would have placed second overall but sadly there was no prize for that. Her thoughts were, ‘I didn’t think I was going to be that good at it, so it was nice to have been hitting the balls well.Years and years ago I had a couple of lessons, but this evening has been great.’

Drinks, nibbles and chatting with about ten members of the club followed all this. It was particularly interesting to see the ladies’ efforts on the practice facilities followed up by the two first class professional golf instructors, Club professionals Chris Lovis and Ben Harmer, during the social time afterwards, and it was much appreciated by the Sweethearts.

Seaford Golf Club, amongst the oldest in the county, is often considered the finest downland course in Sussex.

The Ladies’ Committee of the Club was delighted to have made contact with one of the most original and active local community groups within the federation of Womens Institutes. Phone numbers were swapped and both groups seemed determined that this relationship would not be stopping there!

Sue Bradbury and several of the committee members of Seaford Golf Club were thrilled to have seen so many keen ladies visit and enjoy some golfing experiences.

Thanking their guests for coming, she expressed the hope that they would visit again soon.

As they left at around 10.45, many Sweethearts members said that they had found everyone at the club incredibly friendly and welcoming. Twenty folders with membership details were taken away at the conclusion. There are plans to develop this concept further. Golf is acknowledged to be good exercise and can be played into one’s ninth decade. After all, very few physical activities can boast that!

Seize the Day A One Day Retreat October 28th October Deans Place Alfriston

Ladies, when did you last take a day off and spend it just on you?

I have created this opportunity to spend a day in the beautiful Sussex countryside at the wonderful venue of Deans Place Hotel, Alfriston.

I want you to throw aside any feelings of guilt regarding time or money spent on yourself and come and indulge in a day exploring – what makes you ‘tick’, what new habits you can adopt to stamp out stress in your life and discover what you can personally achieve.

22

During the day you will have the opportunity to learn of ways to think about yourself, and how new thoughts and habits can create a better life. One where we consider our feelings and our needs instead of these being at the bottom of our list.

The Day Itself l l

DENTON ISLAND’S BIG COFFEE MORNING FOR MACMILLAN There’s going to be an awful lot of coffee in...

Denton Island!

Or so they hope at the Denton Island Indoor Bowls Club where members and friends are taking part in “The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning” in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support on Friday 25th September.

The plan is to raise a massive sum through donations and the price of a cuppa for this hugely worthwhile cause – and everybody, yes, everybody, is welcome to come into the club free of charge (just cross the bridge from Newhaven’s North Way onto Denton Island and keep going to our front gates). There is ample parking space back and front of this magnificent venue.

The event runs from 9.30 to 12.30pm and the highlight will be a ‘Silent Auction’ with an array of impressive prizes to attract your bids. You could bid for anything from a weekend break to a pair of theatre tickets, a meal out at a local restaurant or even somebody to tend to your garden, as well as many other more traditional prizes. There will be a tombola, too.

Club bowling members will be encouraged to wear their colours and play a few ends, donating the green fees to the charity, and there will be lots of refreshments available. So come along and have a look at our club at the same time as having a coffee and helping MacMillan.

You can just pop in and you’ll see an attractive mixture of sport and sociability.

ACCENTUATE THE POSITIVE

By Judy Renihan MBACP, UKATA

When we talk about ‘mental health’ we tend to think of being mentally unwell, but there is another side to mental health…Good Mental Health.

Mental health refers to your psychological well being, and how you feel about yourself and manage to deal with the ups and downs of everyday life.

This year one in four people in Britain will contact professional services with mental health issues. A third of those will be in regard to depression and anxiety.

There are plenty not receiving medical help that will suffer from low mood, feelings of being overwhelmed and feeling unable to cope. Our lives can feel packed with pressures, money (especially in this current economic climate), relationships and work. Relationship break-ups are now a common occurrence that can have far reaching effects on the whole family. Teenagers have the stress of school and peer pressure that seems to be exacerbated by social media. All this can feel as though there is little let up.

However, there is another way. I don’t claim that we won’t all have bad days and times in our lives, but we can focus on Good Mental Health. Good Mental Health isn’t just being free of depression or other psychological issues. Emotionally healthy people feel more in control of their emotions and behaviour. When life throws challenges their way; they can handle them. They can build strong, well balanced relationships, they have good self-esteem and self-worth. They are not afraid to take on challenges and try new things. They have a zest for life and a feeling of contentment.

Good Mental Health is like good physical health; we need to keep an eye on it. In order to maintain and strengthen your mental well being it is important that you know yourself. Having a good relationship with yourself; being your own best friend, is the key to emotional well being. You need to understand and know your own needs and feelings.

24

Learning new things is a great way to discover the real you: take an adult education class, join a book club or visit somewhere new. Become aware of nature: research has shown that simply walking in the garden can lower blood pressure and reduce stress. Make leisure time a priority; do things for no other reason than the pure joy of it. This is not an indulgence; having a good balance of fun is essential to Good Mental Health. Take time to see the good, positive and beautiful aspects of your world.

Sometimes we need help to get us on the road to Good Mental Health and to get in touch with who we are and what we want. Talking therapies are not all about talking through problems. They can also help with discovering yourself and exploring ways to change destructive and unwanted patterns of behaviour.

I set up The House, a psychotherapy and counselling centre in the heart of Seaford, because I believe very strongly in the benefits of talking therapy (counselling and psychotherapy). Whilst I see that there is often a need for medication, research has shown that talking therapies can reverse depression and anxiety.

Unfortunately mental ill health is on the rise. Let’s turn that around and make emotional well being a priority!

The House supports emotional well being by providing talking therapy and workshops to help with a range of issues.

Judy Renihan offers talking therapies at The House and can be contacted on 01323 895594 or via email info@ thehouse-therapy.co.uk

THE

HOUSE Because change begins with you...

COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

Do you feel overwhelmed by life?

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

Our therapies include...

INDIVIDUAL ADULT THERAPY

YOUNG PERSON’S COUNSELLING

COUPLE’S COUNSELLING

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

Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows you to talk openly with someone who’s objective, neutral and non-judgemental.

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.

Teriyaki salmon Fast food – without the ‘ping’

by Julian O’Vegetables

The microwave and fast convenience home cooking, or to be fair, heating up, seem to go hand-in-hand. Many of us live busy lives and there’s often not time to prepare and cook dinner from scratch. So it’s into the fridge or freezer, dig out those little plastic trays, stab the film over the top many times, into the microwave for 10 minutes and ping! And there you have it. A tiny portion of superheated curry or spag bol in a little plastic tray. Tasting of plastic.

It’s perfectly possible to produce a fresh, tasty meal in just a little more time than by using a microwave. You may need to multi-task, but it will taste better and more than likely cost you less. Here are some ideas from the BBC:

Add the zest and juice of the lime and pour in the soy sauce. Add the maple syrup and cook for 1 minute or until reduced and sticky. Keep an eye on the noodles, don’t over-cook them. Meanwhile, pan-fry the two pieces of salmon for 2 minutes each side in a hot pan. When the sauce is reduced add the salmon to the teriyaki sauce frying pan. Drain the noodles, adding the sesame oil, seasoning and coriander and a squeeze of lime. Serve the salmon on a bed of noodles with more chopped coriander.

MARTELLO ROTARY CLUB SEaford Ayumi Watanabi Talk This week Martello had their final talk from our overseas student, whom we jointly sponsor with the Rotary Club of Nagasaki South in Japan. Ayumi Watanabi is studying to be a peace negotiator-inspired by the terrible events that occurred in her grandfather’s city in August 1945, when the 2nd Atomic bomb was dropped. Ayumi has been studying for a masters’ degree in conflict resolution at Sussex University this year and is soon to be heading off to start a career in one of the world’s many trouble spots. Her talk to us clearly showed the new skills and understanding she has developed this year. Before she left she taught us all how to make beautiful and delicate origami Cranes – the symbol for peace in Japan. For those of us who are all fingers and thumbs, this was a tall order – but most eventually succeeded thanks to Ayumi’s very patient tuition. We wish her the very best for her future and are sure she will be able to make a difference to those she tries to help.

Martello Rotary Supports Children with Cancer Charity President Mandy and Secretary Dave were very honoured to be invited by the charity ‘Children with Cancer’ to share their very big day last Sunday. This is one of the many charities which Martello is able to support each year, thanks to the generosity of local people in responding to our appeals and events.The Charity has been awarded the ‘Queens Award for Voluntary Service’ and this was presented by Peter Field, the Lord Lieutenant of Sussex at a very moving presentation event at Herstmonceux Castle. The local charity supports children and families in Seaford and the surrounding area. The charity provides support in many forms, including financial and counselling support for the families and special events for the young people who have been diagnosed. The ceremony was witnessed

38

by the charity’s volunteers, donors and some of the families and young people who have been supported.

Our warmest congratulations go to Chris, Ursula and their team on gaining such a well deserved and very high honour!

Martello Rotary Club Supports Seaford Martello Museum On Sunday 2nd August Seaford Martello Museum ran their annual Fun Day. The day was sunny and the museum packed. Seaford Silver Band played in the moat to an appreciative audience and Martello Rotary Club provided sustenance from our bar ‘Tavern in the Tent’ and our ‘Tea in the Tent’. Homemade cakes, sandwiches and ploughmans all served with a smile from our wonderful helpers, nothing was left at the end of the day, only empty plates. Many thanks to the public for all your support on the day. The money raised will continue to help local charities.

SEAFORD ACADEMY Our courses are delivered by top quality tutors, in purpose built classrooms, with class sizes of 6 or under. We guarantee that the additional hours of high quality tutoring will put our students streets ahead.

With 2 hour after school sessions, from 4pm to 6pm for juniors / primary pupils and 6pm to 8pm for senior students (Secondary / A level) in English and Mathematics.

On Fridays we will deliver a combined 2 hour English and Maths booster course. On both Fridays and Saturdays we offer tuition in combined sciences plus Biology, Physics and Chemistry boosters at GCSE and A level.

OUR ACADEMY HEADS

Mrs Rodica Todd Bsc. Senior School Head

Academy Head - Senior School. Mrs Rodica Todd Bsc (physics)

Mr Tim Hurst BA Junior School Head

Mrs Todd gained her degree in Nuclear Physics in 1987, she spent several years as a physicist in the nuclear industry followed by scientific research at the Institute of Computer Studies, Bucharest. In 1984 her career switched to the commercial world, working as an executive in the advertising industry before taking a career break to bring up a family. In 2004 she was accepted on the Graduate Teaching Programme at Brighton University where she achieved her Qualified Teaching Status for advanced mathematics. She has taught both in the private and state sector, in local schools: Seaford Head, Newlands, Moira House, Tideway. In addition she is known for her high quality private tutoring.

We are pleased to have such an experienced teacher in Advanced Mathematics who, in collaboration with the National Trust of Mathematics organised and awarded pupils their Certificates for over 5 years - a credit for our academy. We add her comments: "A whole life dedicated to young learners. I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my profession. My pupils' success is my success and I am really looking forward to take such an opportunity, helping children develop. Without the shackles imposed by political dictates and the state system we can make learning fun and the impossible, possible. I aim to make every pupil a 'star' . Each and every parent will see their child grow in confidence, ready to release his / her full potential and 'SHINE', - THAT IS MY JOB. We will develop the Seaford Academy and its students into something very special of which we are all proud."

Academy Head Junior/Primary School. Mr Tim Hurst B.A. With nearly 30 years teaching experience in primary education, both within the state and private sector, Mr Hurst is a real catch for the Academy. We are fully aware of how important male role modelling is to a child's development so we are especially pleased that we have been able to recruit a man and of such pedigree. Many of you may know, or may have been taught by, Mr Hurst as he has taught at many local schools including Newlands, Chyngton Primary, Cuckmere House as well as providing considerable local private tutoring. Mr Hurst is a very experienced, “hands on” primary teacher. They are hard to come by and we are delighted at the enthusiasm he has shown in helping us to develop Seaford Academy.

Mr Hurst gained his degree at Durham University in Archaeology and Anthropology followed by a PGCE (the qualification necessary for teaching in state schools) at Cambridge University. He tells us: “We aim to inspire and motivate all pupils by providing small group, high quality tuition from fresh young motivated graduates overseen at all times by a team of experienced educationalists, bringing down the costs to parents so that private tuition is affordable.

The weather forecast was not good! As a result the Car Boot, Craft and Produce Fair suffered from some unpleasant weather on Sunday 12th July. We still sold 18 pitches, received donations and ran our own stall. The final outcome of the Fair was still a respectable £186.54 net. Thanks to everyone who helped with the Boot Fair who once again got rather wet and cold. Be sure to visit us at the next Fair which will be on Sunday 6th September, Martello Fields, Seaford.

Mary’s Meals and the Backpack Project

‘Mary’s Meals’ is a UK-based charity which was started in 2002 with a view to providing one daily meal in a place of education.

The objective is to attract chronically poor children into a classroom where they can gain an education which can be their ladder out of poverty. From a start of feeding 200 children In Malawi, the charity now provides meals for over 1 million children every day in 12 different countries. The cost is just over £12 per child for a year.

Following the success of the meals project, the charity identified another obstacle which prevented poor families sending their children to school. The parents are so poor that they cannot afford to buy basic things like pencils, notepads or even suitable clothes. The charity therefore started Backpack Project, a scheme where organisations fill an old school bag or backpack with some everyday things which children need for school.

The items do not need to be new as long as they are in good condition.

For the last 3 years, The Rotary Club of Seaford has worked with primary schools in Seaford to fill old bags with school essentials. This year Chyngton Primary School became involved for the first time. The whole school was involved and it was an outstanding success with over 50 bags filled. The photo shows Chyngton pupils with some of the filled bags. For the third consecutive year, Seaford Primary’s Year 6 took part in the project and provided a number of filled packs. Well done to all the children, and their parents, for supporting this very worthwhile project.

South Coast Triathlon and Half Marathon

On the weekend of 4th and 5th July, the Rotary Club of Seaford provided the car parking and some registration help for the above two named events. Saturday became very busy as the registration and start of the races drew close, and this involved some frantic direction and money taking to prevent vehicles from blocking the roads. We had not appreciated that the last races on Saturday did not begin until 12:30 so our aim of closing the car parks by 1pm was a trifle ambitious as some competitors were still swimming and struggling with the tide. The last few vehicles left the field around 6pm!

Sunday was a little quieter and we were able to close on time. Unfortunately the rain soaked the Rotarians on duty that day – all part of a Rotarian’s lot!

The organisers recognised that numbers were lower than last year, they informed us they are going to refocus the events for next year to try and increase numbers again.

We still ended the weekend with a healthy contribution to our funds, of £1,073. As always this allows us to support charities and worthy causes.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with these events, which not only included those helping with the car parking and registration, but also marking out the field on the Friday.

Good for you, good for us, good for our environment Living and working in a town as beautiful as Seaford makes you appreciate the natural environment we live in.

Being surrounded by lovely countryside and having an unspoilt beach on our doorstep is enough to give anyone a healthy respect for the great outdoors.

At Newberry Tully we’re always looking to build on our existing environmentally friendly credentials and that’s why we’ve recently been trialling an electronic bike to use when visiting properties.

We already uses solar energy, an electric company car, low energy LED lights and the team recycles as much as possible.

Let us explain why being ‘green’ is so important to us.

Stephen said: “We are constantly looking at ways in which we can lessen our agency’s impact on the environment. Both Andrew and I are fascinated by how new technology can improve the way things are done and having the electric bike on trial is something that instantly appealed to us.”

Our clients appreciate and understand what we are striving for and the response to our environmental efforts has been overwhelmingly positive and supportive.

Thanks for reading, Andrew & Stephen

A familiar sight around Seaford is our Nissan Leaf electric car which we’ve nicknamed Sparky. Our environmentally friendly focus also extends to solar panels which provide the office with all its electrical needs and has already proved to be a good and ethical investment.

Andrew added: “I have young children so by doing all we can to lessen our impact on the environment makes me feel as if we are doing something very positive for them and for future generations.”

We live and work in a beautiful part of the country and doing our bit to keep it that way is very important for us.

Twinning Weekend Veules-les-Roses 75th Anniversary Commemoration Day

Veules-les-Roses is due south of Newhaven on the Normandy coast. In mid June 1940 Veules les Roses had its own Dunkerque experience when Rommel’s troops trapped the 51st Highland Division in the village, on the beach, and on rocks at the foot of the cliffs. Most of them were captured, but 110 men were rescued by a flotilla of brave Newhaven fishermen, who during the rescue missions were saved from annihilation by a sea fog.

It was to remember those killed in action in Veules that a party of us joined our friends in France for a day of remembrance and moving ceremonies; amongst us were Charles Anson in his official capacity as Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Sussex and Michael Ann OBE, retired Deputy Lord Lieutenant. It was due to the initiative and drive of our chairwoman, June Goodfield PhD, that serving officers and men of the 51st Highland Division/7Scots regiment, were invited to join us from their headquarters in Perth.

present on the pathway to the cliff top where a plaque in his memory was unveiled.

On the cliff top with its solitary landward facing gun, the flags of Britain and France were blowing in the wind, as two plaques were unveiled commemorating the British and French who lost their lives on the beaches below us.

Amongst many who spoke of the sacrifice made for our freedom was a message from the Queen read by Charles Anson.

The event ended when a group of local children launched white balloons into the blue sky, each bearing the name of one of the fallen. The large gathering watched in silence as they disappeared from view.

This day of remembrance in Veules-les-Roses ended with a reception and dinner for 250 guests and after many speeches which spoke of the need for friendship and unity, Piers Strudwick, the Battalion Commander spoke of the value of the European Union, of Britain within it, of an undivided United Kingdom, and the friendship between peoples of differing nationalities. He also shared with us the advice given to young recruits.

“The most important decision a soldier makes in his army career is the woman he asks to be his wife.”

After the unveiling of a memorial at the Mairie dedicated to the civilians who died in the conflicts in Veules, the Pipes and Drums of the Black Watch, together with the Normandy Pipes and Drums Band, both resplendent in full ceremonial dress, led us up the hill to the simple war graves in the village cemetery; it was a truly inspiring sight and sound. The soldiers were led by their Battalion On Sunday we were entertained informally by our Commander, Lt Col Piers Strudwick, Capt. Charles Grant, hosts and had the opportunity once again to experience together with the Queen Mother’s former Piper and Capt.

This is what twinning name of his dead forbear and laid a red rose on the grave, is all about, unity and friendship, and common goals and followed by the child who laid a poppy which they had so many smiling faces. What a fabulous weekend! We will each made at school. It was a grey overcast day but as have to work hard to ensure that our welcome is equally the Last Post sounded, the clouds cleared, the sun broke warm when they come to us on for the return visit on through as the ceremony ended with the moving hymn the weekend of 3rd/ 4th October.

Old Town hall & Community Tearoom Our three-month trial has been completed satisfactorily, and we have a reasonably generated income that will allow us to meet our bills and a little extra to meet the unexpected. A meeting of the Committee and Volunteers decided that we should continue for at least 12 months.

We are enjoying good support and are beginning to greet newcomers. More people in the ‘older’ bracket are enjoying the comfort of a rest and hot drink, friendly chat, give and receive informal advice, without the hassle of worrying if they are taking up spaces. A team of former ‘drop-in’ volunteers continues to give a valuable and friendly service, assisted by the committee and long term customers. The take-over was not that easy but we have now negotiated with service suppliers and continue to have encouragement from the Town Council. If you are in that circle we cater for, why not give us a try? 10am to 1pm Mon to Fri and 10am to 12 noon on Sat. Reminisce those old memories (don’t swing on the lamps too much!) and enjoy the break. We look forward to your company. Frank Hendry for the Committee

The organisation is a charity and supported by voluntary donations from members of the public, other organisations and by application for Grants.

I often hear people say that if it weren’t for the CTLA buses they would rarely be able to leave their house.

Their drivers go beyond their call of duty for the people of Seaford that are in need of their assistance. The Seaford Lifeguards are on duty 24/7 to respond to any situation that comes along the coast of Seaford.

They rely heavily on donations. I believe that this is an important rescue service for Seaford and I am more than happy to support it.”

Rock and Jazz Charity Boogie!

HILL HOUSE

BED & BREAKFAST

Add together the dance-music of Seaford Rock and Jazz Orchestra, a Samba Band from Seaford Head, and the chance to benefit THREE local charities, and you have an evening of boogie and dance for all ages to enjoy! And it occurs during the festivity which is Seaford Live!

The evening is Saturday 12th September, from 7.30pm until 10.30pm. The venue is Seaford Head Hall, Arundel Road. The Charities are the Elin Rose Cancer Appeal, and the Charitable Trust Funds of Seaford’s two Rotary Clubs.

Elin Rose was a young lady from Seaford who sadly died earlier this year, but her family and friends are tirelessly raising funds for Ewings’ Sarcoma Research Trust. 50% of profits from the evening will go to this cause.

Seaford Martello Rotary Club are running the bar and their charities will share proceeds with the Elin Rose fund.

The Rotary Club of Seaford will also share in the generosity of those who come to dance and enjoy the musical fayre. Their late Member Derek Larter was a Director of Seaford Young Musicians which later morphed into the Rock and Jazz Orchestra. It is the generous donations of those at Derek’s funeral last year which have made this fundraising evening possible. With the usual R & J raffle.

Seaford Rock and Jazz, a predominantly young-players’ band, will be joined by musicians from Seaford Head School. It promises to be a lively, rumbustious, colourful and fun-filled evening. Popular songs from the last 40 years with a ‘Jools Holland’ treatment are on the menu.

Bring your ‘dance-pumps’!

Technical support is by Sussex Events Ltd, and tickets are on sale at Newberry Tully at 53 Church Street. Adult tickets are £8, under 16s come for £5. Unsold tickets will be available at the door. Doors open at 7pm and it’s Cabaret-seating!

For more information look on the Seaford Rock and Jazz website (www.seafordrockandjazz.co.uk/ where you can hear the band) or ring Peter / Pat on 01323 897360.

SEAFORD INNER WHEEL

At our July meeting Mary Morris handed over the President’s chain of office to Eileen Lynch. Mary wished Eileen well and said she hoped that the year would be as enjoyable as hers has been.

And so to work, planning, organising, keeping in touch with the community. Eileen isn’t too daunted by the prospect, after all a trusty team of helpers and supporters will lighten the load. She is particularly keen to retain and maintain the close connections with the two local Rotary Clubs (Seaford and Seaford Martello, of which her husband Ian is a member).

SEAFORD GOLF CLUB LADIES WIN SUSSEX GOLF JERDEIN TROPHY After several days of changeable and rather windy weather, the Jerdein Memorial Salver was played at Chichester Golf Club in dry, sunny conditions on Thursday 30th July, thankfully without the gusty winds of previous days. Playing the Cathedral course at Chichester GC, there were fifty teams teeing off from 8am.

Seaford Eastbourne Lewes Newhaven The course was not an easy one to master, with only six of the hundred-strong field achieving 36 points or more.

It was interesting to note that not one player scored points on every one of the 18 holes!

Early leaders in the clubhouse were Charlotte Topping (with an impressive 39 points) and Emma Francis from Mannings Heath. Having teed off at 9.24 and 9.45, they had to wait all afternoon to find out whether they had won. Thankfully, Chichester’s new Adventure Golf provided great entertainment for them during the afternoon!

In the end, they were pipped to the top spot by Vicki Pett and Helen McRobert from Seaford, who scored 36 and 38 points respectively to post a winning margin of 3 points.

Winners – Seaford GC, 74 points Runners up – Mannings Heath GC, 71 points Grateful thanks to the Lady Captain, Caroline Hawkes, her army of ball spotters and the staff at Chichester Golf Club for looking after everyone so very well.

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN AND SEAFORD LIONS CLUB Well this month I should be writing to tell you all of our very successful Donkey Derby in Peacehaven where we raised loads of money for use in the community but I can’t! Unfortunately we did not have a good day as the weather was against us. The forecast was for a cloudy start with light rain passing through about midday and a fair afternoon. Well the first part was correct and the rain came about midday but it didn’t pass through, it stayed and the crowds stayed at home watching the tennis. I would like to thank the brave people who did venture out and also all the advertisers and supporters of our programmes which we had delivered to most houses in Peacehaven prior to the event. Thank you.

Next month I shall report on a wonderful, successful Seaford Donkey Derby (photo right) which we are holding on the Martello Fields on 31st August, the Bank holiday. You may get Seaford Scene just before this reminder so come along and see what the Lions do.

We shall be having another book sale at Paradise Park on the Sunday 27th September. We have a large collection of books all at 50p each or 3 for a pound. Come along and meet us and get a bargain. We would like to thank Paradise Park for all the help and support they give us.

Failing the book sale why not meet us at the Lioness quiz on Saturday 12th September at the 60+ Club in Seaford.

Have you ever thought of joining us? If you have thought why not put thoughts into actions, if you haven’t thought, why not? We work hard and play hard, we have social events, dinners, outings and meet other people who come from all walks of life. Last year we raised £18,000 and gave away £13,000. Think of the difference that

money made to the lives of others.

You may ask what happened to the £5,000 that wasn’t given as grants or donations.

Well, we do have two minibuses which need maintaining and occasionally replacing. These are for use by the community, clubs and organisations, to 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). We lend them out and a donation is appreciated, but this rarely covers the actual cost of keeping the buses on the road. Call 01323 898961 for more information about the minibuses.

On the 3rd of September Neil Smith (right) and I are travelling to Dieppe to undertake an electric bike ride along the Avenue Verte to Forges les Eaux and back. The Avenue Verte is a cycle way along a disused railway line similar to the Cuckoo Trail. The purpose of this trip is to raise public awareness of the versatility of e-bikes and their rapidly falling cost. Many people have told us that they would love to return to cycling but consider themselves a) too old, b) too unfit, c) too fat, d) have a bad knee etc etc. We aim to prove that e-bikes can solve the vast majority of these problems.

There are a number e-bikes, trikes and even quads on the market now. There are also specially adapted machines to convey wheelchairs, handbikes for those who can’t use their legs, the list goes on.

During the trip we will visit Parc Guy Weber outside Dieppe. This is a foundation that educates the public about disability and helps the disabled in France. They are directly alongside the Avenue Verte and have a hire facility which includes e-bikes and a wide range of adapted machines for disabled people. We want to share their ethos with our community here, in Seaford, and beyond.

With the oncoming demise of cheap oil reserves, the ever present obesity epidemic and it’s associated health problems, and the global warming issue, it is even more important that people reduce their reliance on the internal combustion engine and look for alternative transport models. Cycling is clean, great fun and is good for you. If you want support to start cycling again you can join Cycle Seahaven for a mere £5 a year. They run regular rides for all abilities and no one gets left behind or is made to feel inferior. You will get huge encouragement and find new friends.

If anyone would like to know more about e-bikes or any other form of alternative transport, they can join the Accessible Transport Seaford and/or Eco Transport Sussex Facebook pages. Peter Tattam

Seaford Fun Day on 19th July, 2015 was a success from the town’s point of view. The weather was beautiful and most visitors stayed outside and not in the sports hall, which is where we were. We will have to roll out a red carpet for us to play on outside when the event is held next year.

The next event for us at Wave Leisure is the annual Paragames day. By the time you read this it will have happened. If past years are anything to go by, the day will be a lot of fun for averyone. Let you know next time.

We have our Annual General Meeting in October.

This where the officers report on the past year and the election for the committee takes place. We will also announce the winner of this year’s Bob Matthews Achievement Cup. Voting for this will take place during September 2015.

In the summer months always we see fewer players when members have holidays and grandparent duties.

We have all been enjoying our Tuesdays, fewer people on the day means we have more space.

If you are curious about the game of New Age Kurling, why not come along any Tuesday between 2pm and 4pm. You can see for yourselves and have a go. Your first visit is free, thereafter it is £2.50 per afternoon. We have an annual membership fee of £5.

Hard of Hearing Club Two minibuses, provided and driven by NP&S Lions drove 21 members to South Downs Garden Centre at Hassocks on Friday 6th August. It was a glorious day and the flowers and shrubs were beautiful. The staff were so helpful, and the tea and cake really yummy. Everyone had a very friendly and enjoyable afternoon.

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

Our next meeting is on Friday 4th September 2015 at 2.15pm, when Gill Houghton – a profoundly deaf lip reader and lip reading teacher – and her Hearing Dog, Nell will give a talk to the group on Managing Deafness.

Don’t forget if you need a lift to the club on the minibus please give Jill a ring on 01323 896724 by noon on 3rd September 2015.

Lip Reading Classes

The Lip Reading Class members have enjoyed a relaxing month-long summer holiday seeing family, friends and taking trips abroad. Well deserved – they say!

They’re part of a small and friendly group who are looking forward to the start of term on Tuesday 8th September 2015. Classes are held at the Baptist Church in Belgrave Road and start at 10am. The cost is £21 for 6 lessons and this includes membership of the Hard of Hearing Club.

Why not come along and give it a go, you are welcome to attend the first two lessons free of charge! Tea or Coffee and a biscuit are available during the break for a small charge.

Testimonial

You may have read other members’ testimonials in previous editions of this magazine, about the pleasure we gain from attending lip reading classes. I agree wholeheartedly with them! I too am a member and thoroughly enjoy the lessons given by Gill Houghton our teacher. They are educational and great fun, principally because of her humour, wit and personality. We would welcome new members, do come along! Your level of hearing is no handicap, we are all at different levels, but all benefit from Gill’s research and tuition.

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

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

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

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

Donations support local people It’s surprising how many people walk past the traditional Sussex flint and slate barn, opposite the entrance to the Wave Leisure Centre and have no idea of what goes on inside. Once part of a thousand acre farm, and rumoured to have been a piggery and grain store, the barn retains its original high ceiling and exposed beams but today is home to The Downs 60+ Club.

The interior is jolly and bright and provides a large multiuse hall, dedicated snooker and art rooms, a craft room, plus a large kitchen. Members enjoy 12 different activities including table tennis, choir, keep fit, Scrabble, exercise and dance, and a weekly lunch club. This activities and social club is open 6 days a week, and has close to 200 members.

Users of the car park will have noticed a flurry of activity in recent weeks as a procession of plumbers, builders and electricians have totally transformed the toilets and utility area. This work was only made possible thanks to two generous donations. The first arrived by way of a bequest from the late Stanley Ripley who once served as club treasurer. Stanley and his wife Kathleen were popular club members for over 20 years.

The Downs 60+ Club is affiliated to Age Concern Seaford and they made the second generous donation.

Few people realise that Age Concern Seaford is a truly local, independent, charity. They provide a surprising range of services from hospital transport, information for the elderly, form filling, befriending etc., all from an office and a drop in centre alongside their charity shop in Church Street. Although entirely independent, they maintain a close link by being Friends of Age UK. The club offers a warm welcome to new members.

Anyone aged 60 plus and interested in joining can visit the club on Tuesdays between 10.30am and 12 noon to enjoy a warm welcome and a guided tour. The membership is just £50 and there is no additional charge for the various daily activities. For more info visit www.seaford60plusclub@yolasite.com

Claremont Interiors New Showroom Open!

In 1984, after hearing so many horror stories surrounding interior design disasters, Malcolm Webb, decided that he could improve on the quality and finishes that the kitchen and bedroom fitting market was offering at that time...and he never looked back!

Together with his wife, Bianca they started Claremont Interiors (originally known as MW Kitchens), in a small Barn in Slinfold. Malcolm’s reputation as a perfectionist, was very much appreciated as was his ability to design and create tailor-made kitchens and bedroom. He was able to give his customers what they wanted, rather then an infill here and there. Costs were still kept at a very reasonable rate as no middle man was involved, just Malcolm and Bianca.

Their idea grew into a reputable family business, and now both sons are very much a part of the business

– they have the same enthusiasm and attitude to perfectionism as their dad.

“People still value our involvement with their kitchen or bedroom project.” explained Malcolm. “With ours and the customers personal interaction during the planning stage; choosing colours and ideas, to the the manufacturing of their kitchen and the final stages of the installation. Our customers are very much a part of the whole process”.

“We are a genuine family business and will always aim to accommodate everyone’s needs. So far, every colour and design requirement has proven to be possible and we are very proud of our achievements and continuous development. After all, a practical, lavish and beautiful environment can only encourage great achievements!”

Seaford Youth Group Chosen For Andrew Lloyd Webber National Theatre Project!

Multi-award winning community charity youth theatre group, Seaford Musical Theatre Juniors, has been chosen to be part of the National Theatre connections programme for 2016, supported by the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation.

They will perform one of 12 specially commissioned musicals or plays at the Barn Theatre, Seaford, in February 2016 before transferring to either the Chichester Festival Theatre or Hawth Theatre in Crawley, where theatre teams and the NT Connections Director will help them transition the show onto a larger professional stage and perform to hundreds of audience members.

Director, Paula Woolven, said; “this amazing news arrived on our fourth anniversary and goes a long way in recognising the incredible journey our community youth theatre has made in such a short time, thanks to the hard work and dedication of all our volunteers and supporters. Our motto is confidence, creativity and consideration for others, and we see this week in, week out in our young membership. I’m delighted they have been given this amazing opportunity and I’m sure they’ll make the most of it.”

Salon at St Wilfrid’s is Streets Ahead The new hair and beauty salon, Streets Ahead, at St Wilfrid’s Hospice offers hair styling, blow drying, and eyebrow shaping as well as manicures and pedicures to patients, their families and other visitors to the hospice.

Mandy Hendry, the Hair & Nail Co-ordinator, explains that while the salon is small, it’s perfectly formed. ‘We have one back wash, one hair station and one nail station, but we’re terribly busy,’ she says. ‘In fact, it’s become so successful; we’re on the look out for more hair stylists and beauty therapists to volunteer two or three hours of their time each week to help us fulfil all the appointment requests.’

Treatments are paid for by suggested donation with profits going straight to providing hospice care. Mandy says that clients are often happy to give more knowing the difference it will make. One volunteer in the salon, Laura, explains why she loves helping at the hospice: ‘St Wilfrid’s has such a lovely atmosphere – though like most people, I assumed it would be a place of great sadness; quite the opposite is true as there’s a feeling of overwhelming happiness.

says it’s wonderful that such a service exists and that it makes her feel pampered and special.

‘I can no longer get to

my local salon, so it’s wonderful that something like this exists.’ Mandy explains that help is required from qualified stylists or beauticians. ‘As little as a couple of hours a week will help so much,’ she explains, ‘so do please get in touch if you would like to volunteer in the salon.’ Call 01323 434212 or email vsm@stwhospice.org.

If you’d like to make an appointment, please call Mandy on 01323 434258. And if you do come to the salon, why not stay on for lunch or a lovely piece of homemade cake in the hospice’s café, which is open to everyone.

Photos: Marjorie at the salon; the hospice’s café.

‘I’ve been a full-time mum to my little boy, but as he is starting school soon, I was keen to get back into a work environment and improve my confidence. I’ve been volunteering here for about five months and it’s helped me so much – my confidence has really grown! And it’s amazing to feel that a moment of your time can mean so much to someone else – I really would recommend volunteering here to anybody.’

Meanwhile, patient Marjorie who attends the hospice’s Wellbeing centre, is a regular visitor to the salon. She

Seaford Choral Society’s Summer Concert Success Members of Seaford Choral Society formed a Chamber Choir this summer to take a performance to a crowded Alfriston church on 11th July under the guidance of Music Director, Anna Maria Tabor, with accompaniment from Nick Milner-Gulland.

The glorious summer weather on Saturday evening was matched by some wonderful singing, both from the choir and from Mezzo Soprano soloist Siân Griffiths.

Siân will be known to some local fans following her roles as Lucy in New Sussex Opera’s production of John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera this year and as Puck in their production of Weber’s Oberon.

The evening’s programme took us on a tour of music from different centuries and countries, from Finland to Spain and from early Renaissance part singing through to songs from 20th century musicals. The choir’s

Now available: ‘A’ rated boilers with 10 years parts and labour warranty, Please ask for details.

contributions included 17th century Madrigals, late Romantic 19th- and 20th-Century songs, and early music. Highlights were moving accounts of Sibelius’ Hymn from Finlandia, sung in Finnish and English, and the première of Bishopstone composer, Chris Whitelaw’s warm arrangement of the Lord’s Prayer. Mr Whitelaw was present to acknowledge the enthusiastic applause.

The quality and commitment of singing left powerful impressions of both.

In lighter mood, the choir romped through a humorous madrigal by Josquin des Pres, ‘El Grillo’. The singers’ enjoyment transmitted itself to the audience. There was also an impressive account of Monteverdi’s six-part motet, ‘Cantate Domino’.

The programme was interspersed with solo performances from Siân Griffiths of well-known songs from musicals and operetta, including ‘Vilja’ from The Merry Widow, ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ from My Fair Lady and ‘Summertime’ from Porgy and Bess.

Choir and soloist joined forces to end the evening with the lively ‘Borellas Sevillanas’ a traditional Spanish song arranged by Enrique Fabrez and the ‘Habanera’ from Bizet’s Carmen, with Siân Griffiths giving a wonderfully seductive performance to round off a perfect summer’s evening.

Seaford Little Theatre

Triple Bill of One Act Plays

Over the past year or two that I have been reviewing productions presented by this long-running group I have felt that the choices of play haven’t always matched the undoubted talents of the players and directors. Perhaps it’s because the plays haven’t been modern and don’t relate as classics, in the same way that Fawlty Towers will always be funny but On the Buses probably won’t.

So I am delighted to observe that with this collection of one-acters, Seaford Little Theatre got it spot on with Thomas Hardy’s The Copyhold, Alan Bennett’s Say Something Happened, and Alan Ayckbourn’s Between Mouthfuls. Now these really are classics, their subject matter and dialogue as relevant today as they were when they were written, in 1891, 1982 and 1974 respectively.

Of course Thomas Hardy would not normally be regarded as a funny writer, but Little Theatre member Adrian Bowd’s adaptation from the short story coupled with some inspired playing had the full-house audience tittering happily from the start. Directed by Mary Young with a welcome light touch, the cast did Adrian and Mary proud, with a standout performance from John Gibbins as Jacob Sargent, the uncle who dies on stage before the copyhold document can be signed to allow his niece, warmly played by Lindsey Holledge, to inherit their cottage. It was good to see set builder Ray Cox ably making his debut as the squire’s agent, alongside great contributions from Josie Hobbs’ nosy neighbour and Peter Barnes’ violent fiancé. And the Dorrrset accents were great.

matched by Angie Wright’s Mam, who has no intention of being registered as elderly by the engagingly bewildered social worker played

by June Potter. Again, terrific direction, this time by Victoria Thompson.

My personal favourite play was the last because I do like Ayckbourn at his best. This is the one set in a restaurant where two couples are dining, the respective husband and wife of each having just returned from a holiday fling. The deceptively simple piece requires tight direction, this time from an on-the-ball Lori Boul – pardon the wordplay – and great timing by the actors.

Roland Boorman, who

seems to specialise in irritable men, played the adulterer to Ann Maybe’s stunningly difficult wife, while Marilynne Sharpin gave an amusing portrayal of a wife who wished she’d never done it, and Alan Lade’s boring spouse made us see why she did. The Maitre d’ literally directed the action as a poised Trich Richings glided between their tables, signalling the sharp dialogue to each in turn. All I need to say now is ‘More, more’ please.

Andrea Hargreaves

Photos by Andrew Parkinson

Say Something Happened was pure understated Alan Bennett. I remember seeing this on TV years ago and I think I enjoyed this interpretation even more. John Hamilton needs to make sure he doesn’t get type cast for doing such a splendid job – he played Pop in the last production, The Wooden Dish – and he was beautifully To advertise in Seaford Scene please call 01273 710793 or email fran@seafordscene.co.uk

RARE OR UNUSUAL VEGETABLES FOR THE TABLE

NEW ZEALAND SPINACH (Tetragonia expansa) This spinach is quite distinct from the ordinary garden spinach as it thrives in dry situations where ordinary spinach would not be happy. The plants grow fairly large, up to about a square yard. This plant is not hardy, so sow the seed in April/May preferably in pots and transfer outside in June. To assist germination, soak seeds the night before. Plant out about two feet apart in a sunny position. When picking, discard the stalks and stems of the leaf.

Wash the leaves in water. When cooking, change the water at least once otherwise the spinach may remain bitter. Add a little melted butter before serving. Seeds are available from Suttons James Wong Range, Kings Seeds, Chilton Seeds an Ebay.

More information available on Google.

o

ost gardeners have an idea as to what an oriental style garden looks like, and it will include rocks, raked gravel, oriental plants and special features. So how do you plan such a garden?

It firstly depends if you are going to build it yourself or get someone to do the ground-work for you. Then decide if it will incorporate the whole of your garden or just part of it. You have three styles to choose from. SHIN is formal, GYO is semi-formal and SO is informal/natural. Rocks are most important and can be expensive. Have large rocks delivered, perhaps smaller rocks you can manage yourself. Remember rocks have a “best side” so incorporate this in your design.

Pathways should be winding or curved but never straight. Stepping-stones represent clouds and raked gravel is water or movement. In the absence of real water use crushed coloured slate to represent a water-

course. Then consider your special traditional features which could include a Buddha, stone lantern, bamboo deer scarer and wind chimes.

Finally chose your plants with care. These should include a selection of Acers, Rhodos, Azalea, Magnolia, Wisteria, Iris and Grasses. Get more information from relevant books, leaflets or the Internet. May your final garden be peaceful. Sayonara, zai jian and goodbye!

Seaford Gardening Club The summer weather continues to give us a mix of sun, rain (and wind) to enable us to enjoy our gardens and harvest home-grown produce from both greenhouse and vegetable plots. Gardening can be hard work but the rewards give us all exercise and pleasure.

The Club did not meet in July so here a just a few comments on two of our 2015 outings to fill the gap.

On 6th May we visited Sissinghurst Castle garden in Kent. A firm favourite with Club members and well worth a third visit. The garden sits within the ruin of a great Elizabethan house – all surrounded by the rich Kentish landscape. The fairy-tale tower is the result of creative tension between the formal design of Harold Nicolson and the lavish painting of Vita Sackville West.

Unluckily the wind was a bit strong on the day which prevented a climb to the top for a magnificent view.

The different themed ‘rooms’ and rich herbaceous borders were a joy to wander through – a surprise awaited at each turn of corner or gate entry. A little early for the splendour of the renowned ‘white garden’ but still numerous plants and spring colour to behold.

After a most welcome visit to the restaurant we climbed aboard our coach for home, happy if a little tired!

Our next trip, on 6th June, to Butterfly World near St Albans was a first for the Club. We stopped at this interesting market town for our lunch break and to visit the cathedral or browse among the market stalls.

Butterfly World consists 27 acres of specifically created gardens where you can amble before visiting the purpose-built butterfly house. Here you walk through clouds of beautiful tropical butterflies. The whole design aims to arouse visitors’ interest in these colourful insects

and why it is so important to encourage them into our gardens. The garden is supported by famous patrons, including Professor David Bellamy and Sir David Attenborough. Another visit in the future at a different season is a must for the Club. Two very successful outings enjoyed by us all.

Our new season for 2015-16 commences on Wednesday, 30th September, with a welcome return

by Steven Moore from Rapkyns Nursery. We will call the talk ‘Part II of Seasonal Planting’ – plenty of wonderful plants to purchase at very reasonable prices. The evening will start at 7.30pm in the Clinton Centre, Clinton Place, Seaford (using front door opposite Tesco). Visitors are most welcome for a fee of £2. Annual subscriptions of £10 are due that evening for the 2015-16 season. There are no extra charges. Refreshments are available. Please come along for a warm welcome and an enjoyable, informative evening.

What do you call a gaggle of volunteers gagging for their morning tea and standing around gossiping while watching a couple of other people toil in the August heat? Answer: a leek-in. When the tea, coffee and choccy cake – thanks Steph! – was delayed owing to a collection of plants being delivered to the Crouch, see below, we were only too willing to learn how to plant leeks, noting how Cameron plunged a dibber six inches into the hard soil while Mike, delivering the lesson, neatly trimmed the leaves and roots – apparently you don’t have to do this but it looks tidier – and planted the seedlings, then watered only into the hole. But what’s that? “Tea up,” is hollered and all of a sudden the class dismisses itself to secure a slice of Bob the Herb’s birthday cake while ‘the meeting’ takes place. There we learn that while we’ll have to wait until winter for those leeks, we are doing a second sowing of our successful French beans, along with some late carrots, so there should be plenty of veg on sale, not only on Wednesday mornings but also on Saturday mornings while produce is there to be picked.

The courgettes are great, and the runners are prolific – whether that’s down to the weather or the fact that we have moved their poles to a lighter position is passionately debated – and we’re starting to pick some very healthy tomatoes that have been growing in the poly tunnel.

We are still excited by TV gardener Christine Walkden’s

124

visit and so pleased to report that more than £6,000 was raised by the Macmillan Trail as a whole, despite the fact that the Sunday was literally a washout. Thanks also to the Pop Ups who serenaded Christine. We had lots of different plants and horticultural methods to show her, and now have even more interesting plants thanks to a generous gift that came our way the other day – another example of how thoughtful the people of Seaford are to this walled jewel.

This month we’ve been spreading the word out and about too, and had a successful stall at the Martello Museum day. We were delighted to welcome new volunteer, Sue, who came up to find out what we are about, and she has joined fellow newbies Bill, Mandy and Simone. We also had a display stand at Seaford Horticultural Society’s popular show.

We aim to be accessible to all, and have wheelchair friendly paths and raised beds, and now we have taken delivery of a ramp so everyone can use our splendid classroom.

But what’s this? Tea break’s over: apparently there are honeysuckle cuttings to be taken, so we’d better be off.

There’s always work for idle hands… oh, what’s that?

Come and look, Bob’s making friends with a lizard…

The Garden Team Photos top to bottom: Christine Walkden can’t resist the lure of spade; first, dibber-out a hole; give those leek babies a hair cut; this lizard was admired and put back where it came from; these bean flowers promise a good runner harvest; the tomatoes are ripening beautifully.

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE FOR ST JAMES’ TRUST The Trustees are delighted at last to pass on good news to our many supporters and clients. We have sold the old Wagon Factory with the neighbouring plot and as a result we are able to move forward with a newly renovated Lift Room and a refurbished meeting room.

We have also replaced all the old drafty wooden framed windows and doors in the Club House. The heavy uncomfortable old chairs have been replaced with new lighter more comfortable ones and in the Kitchen we have a new commercial cooker and refrigerator.

Long overdue maintenance can now be carried out and the trustees have instigated a program to redecorate the tired interior and the rust streaked exterior of the Club House this summer, and it is planned to have controlable heating in all of the halls and blinds at all the windows by the end of August in good time for winter 2015. This will all help to make the Club House more comfortable and user friendly for all our client groups and comparable with the other halls available in the town; it will also be more cost effective to heat.

We were sorry to have lost the Drop In at the Old Town Hall but lack of support and rising costs meant that renewing the lease was not a viable option for the Trustees. It has not been made known that we did however donate all the equipment, crockery, pictures, tables and chairs without charge to support the new management.

Welcome to Viv Reynolds, an ex-trustee who is now employed as our full time Administration Manager. As well as overseeing the day to day activities of the Trust and liaising with volunteers, Viv will be raising funds and improving productivity. She has plans for events and ways to maximize the use of the Trusts large club house.

We are very pleased to announce that we are working in conjunction with other groups to improve our involvement with the community. St John Ambulance now use us as their Seaford HQ, and at the time of publication we have a weekly Day Club run by Age UK. We are also working with Choices, part of East Sussex Employment Services, to give their members a chance of doing some volunteer work with us.

We intend to extend the opening hours of our popular

126

old fashioned charity shop by bringing in more volunteers. This is probably one of the very few charity shops that does not pay a manager or any of its staff. It sells good quality used clothing at very reasonable prices and many customers enjoy rummaging through the shelves of odds and ends. Please come in and take a look.

We must again thank all the Clubs, Groups and individuals in Seaford who have supported us over the past six or seven years, and enabled us to come out of a difficult situation stronger and ready to expand our profile in the area as a community centre and place to meet and enjoy.

Our Tuesday Lunch Club is still full and there is a waiting list. First and third Friday every month Hearing Aid Battery exchange and Age UK Toenail Cutting.

Every Tuesday Afternoon Arts and Crafts Club.

Monday Seaford Stroke Club. Seaford Hard of Hearing Club also meets regularly. Several U3A Groups.

If you need a hall for children’s parties (under 10s), one on one counselling or therapy, group meetings, training sessions, dance or yoga classes or cooking classes we may have what you require. We have three halls, a catering kitchen, free use of our kitchenette and a car park.

Our facilities are comparable with similar halls in the Town and our prices are very competitive. Why not pop in and have a look round – you will be pleasantly surprised.

A very positive and upbeat AGM on Wednesday July 22nd saw all five Trustees/Directors voted in for another year with a mandate to expand our services to our target group – the elderly and disabled in Seaford.

Like all other small independent local charities we always need more volunteers to help in the Reception Office, the Charity Shop the Lunch Club, and we need Drivers and Escorts for our minibus. If you have a few hours a week to spare and enjoy interacting with people give us a call. For more information please ring reception on 01323 498200.
