FOR A FITTER, HEALTHIER YOU

X

Welcome Welcome to the September issue of Seaford Scene. So the summer is drawing to a close and the days are getting shorter. I do hope you’ve had an enjoyable time over the holiday season? This month Artwave continues with open houses, gardens and galleries in Seaford, whilst Seaford Community Cinema launches for the Autumn. It’s also the Heritage Open Weekend, where entry to museums is free. If getting fit is your aim, then there’s news from Cycle Seahaven, Seaford Kurlers and Seaford Striders, and check out the new Heritage Trail and exercise path in Seaford on page 48. There’s music from the Corelli Ensemble and Seaford Choral Society, or how about joining Seaford’s new Drum Group, see page 58. There’s health news from Horder Healthcare, and The House plus a day of meditation at Florence House. We also have a special contribution from The Bengal Palace with this month’s recipe for a delicious Chicken Tikka – I can’t wait to get cooking and eating!

Enjoy your September and bon appetit!

Seaford Beach & Inshore Waters Guide Released!

A new guide that provides a host of information about Seaford beach and inshore waters for visitors and local residents has been launched. It is available from the kiosks on the seafront, the Lifeguards, the Tourist Information Centre on Church Street and electronically.

Councillor Lindsay Freeman, Mayor of Seaford said: “I am thrilled that the Town and District Council have been able to work together with the Seaford Lifeguards to revitalise and update this leaflet. Seaford’s beach is one of the town’s key assets and loved by so many, it is so important that the Councils are raising awareness on beach safety and making that information easy to access.

A big thank you must go to Lewes District Community Safety Partnership for its grant to cover the cost of reprinting the leaflets, and also to Seaford Lifeguards for their continued presence and commitment patrolling

the beach. Families, couples, fishermen, water sports enthusiasts, walkers, dog walkers and swimmers alike can all enjoy what’s on offer from Seaford Bay, and safely!”

Councillor Tony Nicholson, Lead Member for Customers and Partners at Lewes District Council, said, “I encourage visitors to familiarise themselves with the information contained in this handy and very helpful guide. If people are aware of how they keep themselves and their family safe, while enjoying all that Seaford has to offer, they will have many great days out.”

Seaford Lifeguards, who will be handing out copies of the new guide, regularly patrol the beach areas at weekends and on all public holidays between May and September, usually between 10am and 6pm. They are all volunteers who give many hours of their time to protecting people who use the beach for a variety of recreational activities including sunbathing, swimming, boating, and fishing. Look out for the Lifeguards in their bright yellow shirts along with their support team in red, who voluntarily provide thousands of hours to protect and help visitors and residents throughout a busy summer season.

Seaford is a lovely seaside town that has a friendly atmosphere with the majority of the seafront offering 12-hour free parking. There are shops that provide everything needed for a day out, and the town is a short walk from the beach. Restaurants, cafes and pubs all within a short distance of the beach provide good food and a variety of choice.

For more information about what Seaford has to offer please visit the Town Council’s website at: www. seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk Lewes District Council replaces a large number of lifebelts each year because of vandalism or theft. It is an offence to interfere with public rescue equipment and fines of up to £500 are in force.

Cycle Seahaven The club has had a busy summer and our membership recently tipped over the 200 mark.

Probably the biggest cycling club around Seaford!

New Sunday Morning ride

Two of our ride leaders thought it was time to reestablish the Sunday morning beginners rides where new or more cautious riders can try out and develop some very basic off-roading skills and build confidence.

The rides begin at 8.30am at the White Lion in Seaford on Sunday morning. Initially, these rides will take up to a couple of gentle hours – and that will probably include a coffee stop! We’ll mix up twittens with some simple off-road trails and quiet roads around Seaford.

Starting with a gentle potter round Seaford, it will be easy enough to adapt the routes over time to cater for all riders and those looking to extend their abilities and fitness. There will normally be at least 2 ride leaders in the group, so it will also be possible to separate by ability (and finish the ride together) as we extend the range and scope of our rides; but that will be for later in the year as riders naturally progress (for most riders it happens very quickly). We can help with skills like braking, ‘ready position’, bike safety and maintenance, what to wear and the other things you’d expect to learn from your local club.

Road Rides

We’re lucky in Cycle Seahaven as we have miles and miles of wonderful country lanes to cycle along, many having little traffic and just the occasional horse or farm vehicle to pass. Those around Ripe, Chalvington and Chiddingly are especially quiet. The hedgerows are looking magnificent at this time of year: lots of pink willow herb, blue tufted vetch, reddish-brown meadow cranesbill, not to mention an abundance of white cow parsley and verdant ferns. On a warm summer’s day it’s like a cycling paradise!

That’s what eight of us from Cycle Seahaven experienced during the summer. It was a perfect morning for cycling; the sun was shining and there was a slight breeze to cool us down a tad. It was a round

8

trip of 40 miles with a refreshment stop at a new café for us: The Grove Café and Village Shop at Blackboys.

Fantastic! Good tea and coffee, excellent cakes and cyclist friendly.

New Jerseys

We were really pleased to receive our new jerseys in June. We had sponsorship from Chandlers, Mr Cycles, Newbury Tully and Cycle Labs, which made the costs lower for all. We are sure you must have spotted one of the new tops. We also introduced new colours of red, white and navy, a popular choice with many members. 100 jerseys were bought and dispatched from Mr Cycles. See if you can spot one around! Many members have asked for more jerseys, so if you are interested in being a sponsor please contact the club through the website.

Cycle Seahaven organises rides for all levels of cycling experience, from beginner to advanced, for both MTB and road cycling. You can find details of forthcoming rides and events on our Rides Calendar which is kept up-to-date by our ride leaders.

We appreciate that joining a cycling club and taking part in an organised ride for the first time can be a daunting experience. Therefore, you may find the list of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) helpful in addressing any concerns that you may have.

We’re a friendly bunch and feel sure that after you’ve done your first ride with us then you’ll want to do more of them.

Let’s Have a Chat...

It’s been over eight weeks since the Brexit vote and since then we’ve seen a steady flow of people looking to invest in buy to let properties.

The uncertainty over what will happen as we leave the EU is still there but stronger than that is the need for people to find suitable homes to live in.

With interest rates at a historical low, many people who have money in the bank recognise the return from a buy to let property is far greater than letting their cash sit in an account. Plus the volatility of the stocks and shares markets means an investment in bricks and mortar looks a sound long term one.

I handle all of the lettings side of our business, so landlords and tenants are guaranteed my personal service at all times.

During my 45 years as an estate agent I’ve learned that people find something reassuring about investing in property. I think it’s because it’s tangible, you can visit it, and see it when you drive by and, unlike some companies you might invest in, it won’t go bankrupt!

Although the Government has introduced more stamp duty for small property investors, if your goal is a regular income and long term growth, a buy to let could tick all the boxes for you. The demand for rental properties has also never been greater and, as Andrew has mentioned in his article Seaford and Bishopstone are areas people find very desirable.

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

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

A Shelterbox provides a home packed into a box containing a completely weatherproof tent combined with all the necessities for a family or group of people to survive in an emergency

(photo left). The boxes are flown straightway to aid people made destitute by extreme weather, famine or forced to be refugees from their homes.

An initiative started by Rotary UK, the Shelterbox Centre in Cornwall is on alert all the time to supply boxes throughout the world where there is an urgent need. Pat and Julia are hoping to raise £580 to supply a Shelterbox and are organising an Autumn Fair at St. Leonards Church Hall on Saturday 1st October from 10am to 12.30pm in aid of Shelter Box. There will be numerous stalls, including a mug tombola, bric a brac, cakes and produce, raffle, jewellery & gifts, homemade cards, puzzles, toys & books, a craft stall plus refreshments (coffee, tea & cakes). Please come along and support this extremely worthwhile project.

Meanwhile Andrea’s Committee have been hard at work making preparations for the coming year. However, they did take time off from their deliberations to be photographed and to enjoy a cup of tea (photo above). More will be revealed later.

Newhaven Mayor In Rip Roaring Calamity The Mayor of Newhaven, Steve Saunders, will be treading the boards in the Seaford Musical Theatre production of ‘Calamity Jane’ from 9th to 11th September at the Barn Theatre, Seaford.

In the role of ‘Lieutenant Danny Gilmartin’, Steve performs well known numbers including ‘Black Hills of Dakota’, ‘The Deadwood Stage’ and ‘Windy City’ alongside award-winning vocalists Donna Bull (Calamity Jane), Gemma Albrow (Katie Brown) and Jack West (Wild Bill).

Sharpshooter Calamity Jane falls for cavalry Lt. Danny Gilmartin when she is forced to rescue him from the Indians.

Recognizing that the women-starved townsmen long for a “real” woman, Calamity journeys to Chicago to bring back famous singer Adelaide Adams, but mistakenly brings her maid Katie instead. Heartbroken when Danny falls for Katie, Calamity all but ignores her jovial friend Wild Bill Hickok.

The musical, made famous world-wide by the 1953 film starring Doris Day and Howard Keel, is expected to sell out.

Tickets are available online at: www.ticketsource. co.uk/thebarntheatre or from the Tourist Information Centre, Church Street, Seaford during office hours.

Paul Kerensa makes his first visit to Seaford But who is Paul?

Well firstly he is a standup comedian well known on the comedy circuit and he has being doing gigs around the UK for the last 15 years. But also, as with all script writers, he is less well known as a co-writer for some of the top BBC comedy shows in recent years.

Paul was born in Truro, Cornwall. He studied at Royal Grammar School, Guildford, and the Guildford School of Acting, and in 2002 he got his first big break when he won ITV’s ‘Take The Mike’ Award, and was a finalist in The Daily Telegraph Open Mic Awards and the BBC New Comedy Awards.

Seaford Musical Theatre presents

CALAMITY JANE

He also continued to develop his writing career and he was Winner of the BBC Radio Entertainment Contract Writer Titheridge Prize, Paul writes and script-edits for many comedies for BBC TV, Sky and other channels.

He was on the British Comedy Award-winning writing team for Miranda, and has written on each series of Lee Mack’s sitcom Not Going Out, among other shows.

Paul is also one of the few to perform stand-up at both comedy clubs and churches, in “bearpits and pulpits”, as well as contributing regular ‘Pause For Thought’ slots on Chris Evans’ Radio 2 Breakfast Show.

We asked Paul what he is doing at the moment...

“Well I’m touring stand-up which is ongoing, sometimes on the comedy circuit, sometimes doing solo shows, mostly at churches, festivals or other places. The solo show is a mix of stand-up, multimedia PowerPoint nonsense, songs and Q&A. “Just lately I’m doing less stand-up due to lots more writing work. While I miss the thrill of live stand-up, I don’t miss the Ginster pasty meals, so I’m embracing the writing jobs, including Top Gear, TFI Friday, Not Going Out, Miranda, a few Sky comedy pilots, and a raft of my own ideas in different stages of development (hell/ purgatory/heaven). I’m also working on my 4th book right now, it’s a non-fiction Christmas book !”

If you want to hear Paul Kerensa then come along to his stand-up show on 10th September at 7.30pm at Seaford Baptist Church Belgrave Road. Tickets only £3 and anyone under 25 gets in Free!

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in aid of British Red Cross Hi, my name is Nick Phillips and I have lived in Seaford for four years. I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro next September for the British Red Cross.

This challenging trek takes me along

the beautiful Machame Route that approaches Kilimanjaro from the south through dense tropical rainforest all the way up to the snow capped summit at 5,895m.

I chose the British Red Cross as my daughter Bethany, recently got through to the British Red Cross dance UK finals at the O2 arena, with her dance troupe Spoonys (a Seaford dance group). Just seeing what the British Red Cross do everyday inspired me to do this challenge so I could help this worthy cause.

The British Red Cross helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. They are part of a global voluntary network, responding to conflicts, natural disasters and individual emergencies. They help vulnerable people in the UK and abroad prepare for, withstand and recover from emergencies in their own communities.

I will be doing several events over the next 12 months to help me raise my target of £4,000. To begin with I will be walking the 100-mile South Downs Way, starting on 30th September 2016, over three days.

I would be very grateful if you could make a donation towards this worthy cause. Please visit my Virgin Money Giving page to do this.

Now is a good Time Novaclean Services caring for your property Steve Elston, owner of Novaclean, provides a local exterior cleaning service for domestic and commercial properties in Seaford and surrounding towns in Sussex.

Now we are approaching the Autumn season you may well be thinking of keeping your property in tip top condition ready for the winter, perhaps giving it a good exterior makeover clean, or maybe even in preparation for selling your house. So here is some advice that may help you decide on how Novaclean can make a difference to your home.

Gutter Line

We clean completely all exterior PVC plastics which will help preserve the soffit and fascia panels that can look grubby and tired. This is usually accompanied with a gutter vacuum clean, which is advisable every 3 to 5 years or as and when required.

Driveway and Patio cleaning by jetwashing

We clean all sorts of driveways and patios – block, tarmac and slabbed. This has to be done by a professional and not by a passing tradesman who knocks on your door, and don’t use a small domestic electric machine – either way you will not get the desired results. So don’t take the risk and waste your time and money.

We thoroughly clean and prepare the area before using a high pressure petrol-powered machine, which gives amazing results. Customers often comment, “It looks almost brand new again”. We completely re-sand block driveways with fresh Kiln-dried sand and offer optional sealing. For a proper service you can always rely on Novaclean for a tidy job every time we visit.

slightly stronger but keep away from spraying plants directly, and as always read the instructions carefully.

Gutters, Water Butts and Soakaways

Keeping gutters running true and clear is essential, and unfortunately here in the south coast counties, there is an abundance of moss, weeds and grass that grows at high levels. This will eventually drop down and clog up elbow joints and down pipes that lead and follow into soak aways and water butts. So if you notice obvious signs of weeping joints and overflows this is a good sign that a service is needed. Call us for a free site visit and let Novaclean give you a quote – a proper job, by a caring company.

Novaclean can make a huge difference, and that’s worth a simple phone call. So for a decent service from a local company, just contact us by email or phone. Why not visit our reviews and gallery at Novacleanservices/ checkatrade.com

In partnership with East Sussex Trading Standards

Email Novaclean1@hotmail.com Phone 01323 893365

Before

Aftercare for your driveway or Patio

Firstly always sweep dirt and leaves from the surface before they rot and cut back bushes and plants that spool over. Keep plants watered but use a saucer tray to stop the base staining the surface. Deal with weed growth sooner rather than later, and use an eco friendly surface cleaner every spring and autumn. This will kill off algae and slime that will appear during damp months, especially in darker shaded areas – make the mixture

Seaford Heritage Trail and Exercise Path Website Seaford Community Partnership, working with the Seaford Museum & Heritage Society and the Town Council, has launched a web site (www. seafordheritagetrails.co.uk). The new mobile-friendly website enhances the existing leaflets and information boards around the Town and along the seafront. Follow the trail with your mobile and learn about the fascinating history of Seaford. Additional locations feature on the website and there are also articles and photographs of how things used to be. So far, the website features two trails in and around Seaford – more are planned.

The Heritage Trail takes you on a tour of the Town starting at the Railway Station and features 14 locations ending back in Broad Street – convenient for a coffee and cake at one of Seaford’s excellent cafés. The trail can easily be completed in a couple of hours if done all in one go.

On the way you can read more about the buildings and the people who lived in them or who helped create the town of Seaford.

The Exercise Path starts at Splash Point along the seafront to Tidemills and then returns via the railway crossing and the Buckle, covering some 5 miles. Seaford seafront has changed much over the last 150 years and the website tells of many of the buildings that have gone

including the Buckle Inn, the Esplanade and Eversley Hotels and the home of one of Seaford’s grand families, Telesmaure. Learn about the military use of the seafront, the Martello Tower, and the Blatchington and Seaford Batteries.

The website also has links to a number of other easily accessible local trails: the Rathfinny Vineyard Trail to the north, the Eric Slater Art Trail to the east and the Poppy Trail about Newhaven in the First World War to the west. Happy Walking.

The original Seaford Heritage Trail and Exercise Path leaflets, illustrated by local artist Abigail Barker, are also available from the Tourist Office at 37 Church Street Seaford. Thanks also to Fiona House of the Big Hedge for designing the website.

THE SEAFORD DRUM GROUP Drumming workshops Tuesdays 7pm – 9pm £10 The Archway, 1 Blatchington Road, Seaford No experience needed! Everyone welcome!

Drumming together has been a part of most cultures around the world for thousands of years. Nowadays, medical science is also catching up to the benefits – it can bring increased feelings of well-being and improvements to immunity and brain function. In some cultures the rhythms are exact, specific and highly disciplined, in others, communication is key.

The drum is often seen as a mouthpiece to converse with spiritual realms, and as an important ingredient in maintaining community cohesion and even survival.

Where there is celebration and people gather – there are drums! As this African proverb says, somewhat dramatically, ‘Any village without music is a dead place!’

With the Seaford Drum Group I have a simple approach – we play together – the drummers follow and join in as and when they can. In this way, participants learn and build a rhythmical vocabulary that is accessible to anyone at any level.

Learning a new musical skill will always require some disciplined moments – but I keep these to a minimum

and when I do introduce a particular skill, I do it in a non- threatening, fun way. The thing about hand drums and percussion is that they’re accessible to many levels of skill simultaneously, so that complete beginners can quickly find a way to play along with more seasoned players. Everybody is welcome!

For over 15 years I have delivered rhythmical and drumming events to clients of differing cultures, abilities and backgrounds all over the world, and never ceased to be amazed at the power of music and drumming to put smiles on peoples faces and connect them without words. My focus nowadays is celebration and providing opportunities for people to experience what I experienced that set me off down this road – simple, often profound, joy and connection through music with others – Join us: The Archway, Seaford, Tuesdays 7-9pm For more information, ring me, Jamie on 07863159742

Established 2012

No jo big b is to o or sma too ll

Swamped with visitors and £13,000 raised for charity this Summer!

Driftwood Garden in Bishopstone opened for it’s final garden opening of the 2016 season on 31st July. It was for the National Gardens Scheme and saw an incredible 231 visitors pour through the garden gate, almost 1 a minute in the first couple of hours! Garden owner, Geoff Stonebanks, had baked over 200 portions of cake to avoid running out, as he had on the final 2015 opening. He also had something to celebrate too. On Friday evening he had learnt that his garden had made the final shortlist, for a national gardening magazine’s “Garden of the Year 2016” in the small garden section, from hundreds of entries nationwide. He’ll have to wait until the Autumn to find out the final result.

Visitors came to the garden from far and wide and virtually all the home-made cakes were consumed as they all sat in the stunning garden, in the beautiiful summer weather that prevailed. They came from Southampton, Lymington, Essex, Surrey and North Kent, having heard and read so much about the garden. Geoff was amazed at how many new visitors came along. The day was a great success, with £1,357 raised for the charity, bringing the garden’s current total of monies raised for charity since 2009 to a staggering £74,092.

Don’t worry though if you’ve not had a chance to see the garden this year, it will be opening as part of the Lewes District Council Artwave festival on the three weekends from 20th August, with full details at www.driftwoodartwave.co.uk

Tasty Tikka

Mr Hussain’s Chicken Tikka

Serves 4

by Julian O’Vegetables

Ingredients

This month, I have a guest contributor. Mr Hussain, head chef and proprietor of Seaford’s Bengal Palace has kindly agreed to provide a recipe. Indian cooking is very much in Mr Hussain’s genes; his father and uncle opened one of the UK’s first Indian restaurants in Salford, Manchester, in the 1950s and the family have owned and managed restaurants throughout the country ever since. The Bengal Palace was opened almost thirty years ago and has evolved from this time – Mr Hussain has recently introduced the ‘Adventures in Taste Menu’ which features signature dishes like Seafood Moilee, Kadhai Lamb and Baghare Baingan.

Mr Hussain has adapted his recipe for Chicken Tikka for us in order to use ingredients readily available in supermarkets, rather than specialist suppliers, and domestic kitchen ovens. For the health conscious, this dish is low fat and packs plenty of flavour with fewer calories.

MICHAEL UPTON DOMESTIC & COMMERCIAL PLUMBING & HEATING SERVICES DESIGN & INSTALLATION OF CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS

4 large skinless chicken fillets, each cut into 6 pieces, washed and dried; 4 tsp vegetable oil; 1 small tub of natural yogurt; 1 tsp coriander powder; ½ tsp cumin powder; ¼ tsp turmeric, ½ tsp garam masala; 2 tsp ginger paste; 2 tsp garlic paste; juice of 1 lemon; salt. For Tikka Shashlic, add onion, tomato halves, red and green peppers.

Method

Season the chicken with a little salt, then mix the rest of the ingredients together. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and stir in the spicy yogurt mix. Cover and refrigerate for an hour. Thread the chicken pieces onto wooden skewers (soak these in water beforehand), 6 pieces per skewer. For Shashlic, alternate the chicken with the optional ingredients. Arrange the skewers onto kitchen foil and form into a parcel. Bake at 250ºC, or as high as your oven will go, for 40 minutes then take the top from the parcel and roast uncovered for a further 10 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, make a sauce by whizzing together some natural yogurt, mint sauce from a jar, sugar, lemon juice, garlic and coriander leaves.

Serve the Tikka with a salad and the sauce.

Enjoy!

MARTELLO ROTARY

Seaford Lifeguards – training for local school children

The Martello Rotary Club has made a donation to Seaford Lifeguards with a specific purpose – to give local children some basic instruction on lifesaving skills, and also to point out the dangers and hazards that might be found on the beach. Chris Payne from the lifeguards had put together a talk which covered all the major points, including a refresher on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) , and during June and July he delivered this to Annecy, Seaford County Primary, Cradle Hill and Alfriston primary schools. These were well received by the children who were very attentive and keen to get involved with the CPR demonstrations.

with a very informative talk peppered with humorous anecdotes, and, judging by the many questions from the members, everyone had a very enjoyable evening. “If you would like to learn more about it, go to YouTube and search for “Crying For My Town” – it’s really good .

Get your PROMS tickets now!

Tickets for the 2016 Martello Proms Concert are now available from Newberry Tully at 53 Church Street, Seaford or by calling 07984 581784 or you can email jackiearkwell@yahoo.co.uk The concert will be held at Seaford Head School, Arundel Road, Seaford on Saturday 8th October at 7.30pm.

Seaford Silver Band will be there, together with Moira House School Junior Choir directed by Robert Cousins and there will be solo performances by Rebecca Swingle Putland, so don’t delay, get your tickets now!

OYEZ, OYEZ, OYEZ!

Seaford’s Town Crier , Mr Peter White, gave a talk to club members about the history of “crying” and despite it being a very warm evening he insisted on wearing his full uniform, which everyone agreed was extremely smart.

The President of Martello Rotary, Mrs Jackie Arkwell, said, “Peter entertained us

Seaford Twinners back from Germany for AGM Seaford Twinners recently sent a 10-strong party to twin town Bönningstedt for a 4-day stay. Whilst there they were entertained by an alfresco meal with folk music at the town’s museum. They went on a waterborne tour of some of the most attractive areas of central Hamburg.

They also visited a stud farm for Arab Horses.

The town put on a splendid meal for the visitors in its Montenegro restaurant.

This was enlivened by the performance by the town’s answer to Seaford’s Rock and Jazz Orchestra, called the Golden Nuggets. The young performers, mainly on saxophones and guitars, gave a splendid programme

German visitors will be coming to Seaford next June, and prospective hosts are already being sought for this long weekend. Please leave your details with Liz on 01323 896315.

Seaford Twinning Association held its last Plauschgruppe session before the summer break at the seafront Galley café. These meetings, to chat in German, are open to all regardless of the level of spoken or understood German language. Everyone is invited to bring books, postcards, or magazines to provide a focus for chat, or just their stories and recollections. Usually chatters are from Germany, Austria, Switzerland; and from UK having learnt their German at School, Work or in the Forces.

Printmakers share show A retrospective of Maureen Black’s work and an exhibition by Gill Day will take place at Seaford’s Arts@ theCrypt gallery in Church Street from 29th September to 6th October. Both printmakers, each takes a different approach to their work, which is seen at different points in their careers.

Seaford resident Maureen Black, now 92, has travelled extensively in Europe, visited China and Canada and gained much of her material from looking at and drawing people and their environment. Her subjects often reflect Greenwich Park and the river Thames, having spent much of her adult life in the area.

She was born and educated in Blackheath and studied painting and lithography at Goldsmiths School of Art, and later embroidery. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that she discovered etching, studying this at Morley College.

NOW OPEN

Her varied career took off in 1949 when, as assistant to Mary Adshead, she painted murals in Luton Hoo and for the likes of Selfridges, Costain, John Lewis and the Institute of Marine Engineers. In 1964 she was elected associate member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and became a member of the Crafts Council. A few years later she became a member of the 62 Group of Textile Artists.

She taught art and embroidery at Greenwich and Thameside Adult Institute from 1948 until 1986, and in 1998 was asked to help start a community project on the history of Greenwich from the years 0-2000, in embroidery, to be used an an educational tool.

An embroidery that she worked on in the mid-70s with fellow Greenwich Institute tutor Mary Rhodes now hangs in the council chamber at Greenwich Town Hall. She helped organise one of the first Anglo-Russian exchanges, and attended the return exhibition at the Moscow Artists House in 1994.

She has also exhibited at the National Theatre, the Concourse Gallery, Barbican and at many national shows including those at the Royal Academy, The Royal West of England Academy, Royal Society of Painter Etchers, Whitechapel Open, and annually at Whitleys with the National Society.

Examples of her work can be seen at the National Maritime Museum, in schools’ collections in Yorkshire, Cambridge, Coventry and at the National Museum of Wales, University of Surrey, Graphotel Berlin, and the print collections of Greenwich and Lewisham.

Gill Day lives and works in London where she has been Artist in Residence at Notre Dame School since 2008.

Since 2009 she has lectured in visual communication and contextual studies at Ravensbourne University and has worked at the London Print Studio.

She went to Maidstone College of Art and studied illustration and graphics at Camberwell College of Arts.

Southwark Council recently commissioned The Nisa Mural in Nunhead, and more of her work can be seen at http://gilldaydraws.com Some of the works at Arts@ theCrypt will be for sale.

SEAFORD KURLERS

Hello Seaford Sceners. Help – it is September! The onset of Autumn – beautiful though Autumn is – it is getting cooler!

Many of you will have read the very gloomy news that ESDA (East Sussex Disability Association) has announced that it is closing down, going into receivership and calling in the liquidators.

Due to cutbacks on grants, though not as bad as feared, it was enough to cripple the services that ESDA offered.

The association had been running for 78 years. ESDA was the only user-led organisation in East Sussex. For many disabled people in the area, which means that most of their support for being able to get out into the community has gone. They now face isolation which for many will lead to depression and failing health and confidence. Seaford Kurlers was an ESDA club.

We are able to continue as usual with many thanks from Wave Leisure. The changes that will have to happen will not be noticed by members. Many thanks to Wave. Let this be a stark warning for everyone to help local charities to continue their very valuable work for the local community. Wave Leisure is a charity that provides superb facilities not only for the sports community but also for the disabled and the elderly.

Call in and see all that is available. Some of their classes are available through Doctors’ surgeries and are on the NHS. Many people that have suffered ill health can benefit from a number of the classes. Support them or lose them. We will continue with our outings and competitions as usual.

We will be at the Wave Leisure Centre every Tuesday from 2pm – 4pm. Annual membership is £5 and weekly subs are £2.50.Your first visit is free.

The last dormouse in Sussex?

Sussex Wildlife Trust is making an urgent appeal to its members and supporters to help protect dormice living in the county.

Dormouse numbers have plummeted throughout Britain during the past hundred years and they are now vulnerable to extinction because of habitat loss. To give dormice a fighting chance of survival, Sussex Wildlife Trust is hoping to raise £40,000 to improve woodlands on their nature reserves, providing ideal habitat for them to breed and thrive.

This charming nocturnal mammal faces many threats and challenges to its continued survival, including damage to woodland and hedgerows caused by housing and other development, the decline in coppicing their woodland habitat and changes in agricultural practice.

Work to allow dormice to move freely to source food, nesting material and provide protection from predators is already underway at three Sussex Wildlife Trust nature reserves, West Dean Woods near Chichester, Marline Valley near Hastings and Selwyn’s Wood near Heathfield.

In addition to habitat management, monitoring of dormouse numbers will also take place, providing valuable data in planning for the future protection of this charismatic animal made popular in the classic tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Carrol over 150 years ago.

James Power, (photo right) Head of Land Management at Sussex Wildlife Trust said, ‘I am concerned about the future of dormice in Sussex unless we can improve management of their habitats. Dormice are now mainly found only in Southern England, but even here they have a very patchy distribution and we need to extend our

areas of habitat recovery to reverse this trend of falling numbers without delay, hopefully this autumn.

‘Not only are dormice rare and extremely shy, but they are also nocturnal so you are unlikely to see one in the wild. To thrive, they need living conditions with a good mix of tree species, well managed hazel coppice, green corridors to move along and an understorey of honeysuckle and bramble as a source of food, nesting material and to provide vital cover from predators.

‘These tiny mammals are reluctant to cross open country and if a wood or hedgerow becomes isolated or too small to provide for their needs there is a real danger that dormice can become locally extinct.

‘With help from our members, supporters and people who care about wildlife in the county we will be able to take positive nature conservation actions that both improve and link up important pieces of land which will maintain dormice populations on a long-term basis.

To support this appeal visit:www.sussexwildlifetrust. or.uk/dormice or donate by phone 01273 497532.

SEAFORD CHORAL SOCIETY CENTENARY SEASON 2016 TO 2017

New Season Begins In September Centenary Autumn Concert Saturday 26th November 2016 7.30pm, St Leonard’s Church, Seaford Choral Society concerts are always a pleasure. The thrill of singing and making music with colleagues in the choir, excellent accompanists and soloists is a great experience. We also know that our loyal audience really appreciates hearing performances of some great works from the choral repertoire.

This year is of particular significance for us and the Society is delighted to announce that we have secured the services of Dame Felicity Lott as our guest soloist.

She has kindly donated her performance at our Centenary Autumn concert at no charge to the Society, and for this we are enormously grateful.

For those of you who do not know, Dame Felicity lives locally and is a world-renowned professional soprano who has for many years performed in opera and operettas, across the globe, and has graced the principle opera houses with all the great conductors. She is well known as a concert artist and an experienced recitalist.

Dame Felicity Lott Having received many honorary doctorates and awards from universities and European governments, in 1990 Felicity was made a CBE and in 1996 she was created a Dame Commander of the British Empire. It is with great pride and pleasure that we welcome Dame Felicity to join us in November, when she will perform solos in both halves of our concert.

We are also excited to be joined by young voices from Seaford Primary School, the ‘Semiquavers’ who will sing with the Choral society and also perform their own pieces.

The programme for the evening will include the following popular choices: Parry I Was Glad Handel Zadok the Priest Faure Cantique de Jean Racine Brahms How Lovely are Thy Dwellings (from The German Requiem) Vivaldi Gloria in D Holst Christmas Day Also Traditional carols from the Choir and carols for all to join in and sing!

We always welcome new singers, whether experienced or not, and what better time to be part of this memorable and hugely enjoyable experience. So if you are at all interested, please visit our website or contact Rosemary Collict on 01323 891307.

Tickets will be on sale from our supporters, Newberry Tully Estate Agents, 53 Church Street, Seaford, very soon: priced £12 per ticket and £6 for children 16 and under. Tickets will also be available from members or at the door. There will also be a commemorative Centenary programme priced at £2. www.seaford-choral-society.com or email us at info@seaford-choral-society.com Photo of dame Felicity Lott

Gladioli

The range of Gladioli nowadays is vast with a varying range of sizes and colours.There are miniatures with tiny florets through to huge spikes with large florets and in all varying colours of the rainbow. Most gladioli originated in Africa and Asia, not being known in Europe until the 18th century when they brought in by travellers. By 1806 the first hybrid had been produced with hundreds of varieties of the flower following in the next 50 years.The gladioli has a ready made food store in its corm and once some swelling is noticed in the scar of the corm it can be planted.

Well drained soil is best with the corm planted around a depth of 6’’ and after 2-3weeks shoots should appear. They like to be kept well watered and if of the taller variety will require staking. Gladioli can make a spectacular display in the garden and will also look good as a cut flower for an indoor display. Gladioli are sometimes called sword flowers due to their foliage being likened to the blade of a sword and are often seen as a symbol of remembrance and honour.

If you wish to eat any of the above please check they have not been contaminated in any way by sprays or are in a place where dogs and cats visit. Sylvia Reeve to d

The mixed and unusual weather in spring is to blame say the experts and others, but can the weeds be of any use? They grow so well when often the flowers and crops don’t. Homeowners and gardeners complain and attack the weeds with vengeance – they are plants growing where they are not wanted! But is it all bad? Many of the common garden weeds are not only edible and nutritious but can be an addition to our home-grown veg and fruit. But who wants to eat weeds? Lets look at the list that meets the criteria.

JOBS TO DO IN SEPTEMBER

3 Leave a corner of your garden untidy so wildlife has a place to make a home.

3 Start planting up some hyacinth bulbs ready for Christmas.

3 As main crop potato foliage starts to wither, cut it down and on dry days through the month lift the potatoes.

3 Sow rocket seeds and other salad leaves for an autumn crop – a few seeds sown in pots at intervals is ideal.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD The next social evening is at St Luke’s Church Hall, Walmer Road on 29th September at 7pm. The evening is a ‘Gardeners’ Question Time’ with hosts Mike Parker, Katie Hoff and Steven Moore. Bring along questions you have on any gardening problems and any exhibits to be examined and explained.

There will be a competition – ‘Vase of Mixed Garden Flowers’. Come along and take part in what will be an enjoyable evening. Information about the Society and is available on the website seafordhorti.com

Well, we always knew we were special but to see it publicly acknowledged was something else. Imagine our delight when we picked up the local paper to see us as front page splash. Why? MP Maria Caulfield had accepted our invitation to visit and declared we were an asset to be cherished. She highlighted the importance of community gardens to neighbourhoods.

So thank goodness that others in the community also recognise what we aim to do, and support us in so many ways. Take Mick Barrett for instance: he kindly devised our website at www. seaford-sussex.co.uk/scg, made it look great, and regularly uploads material in liaison with volunteer Viv. So it was a treat for us to be able to entertain Mick and his wife Diana and show them the real garden as opposed to its virtual other self. Businesses, too, are really generous towards us so it’s huge thanks to Chandler’s for contributing to gravel and to Paradise Park for compost.

The result of all this nurturing from volunteers, local companies and well wishers who bring us their veg peelings for our own compost is great beauty in the

form of healthy and vigorous flowers and bounty in the form of some terrific organically grown vegetables. Bob’s herbs, for instance, are so prolific that we’ve had to relocate his sales space from its former gate location to a larger and sunnier area at the end of the first path bordering the Peace Garden, by the fig tree and eye-catchingly tall tree echiums, these being the glorious result of another gift a couple of years ago. At the time of writing it looked as if it would be an amazing year for fruit, with the apples, pears and Victoria plums doing particularly well, and the stepover apples planted a couple of years ago producing prolifically.

Of course our community garden is not enough for some people who, not content with it and their own garden, still want more.

Take volunteer Ana for instance, nimbly coping with crutches following a tumble at her allotment and breaking a hip. But you can’t keep a keen gardener down so back she came for light duties, and very good to see her back it was too.

Ana also organised other volunteers into manning the plant stall at the Martello Fund Day, an occasion at which it is always good to meet friends and make new ones.

And you can be sure we encourage them to visit our lovely garden at the Crouch on Wednesday mornings and, during the produce season, Saturday mornings too.

So see you there!

Cadet Membership To help encourage and develop young boys and girls aged 5years – 11years of age Seaford Golf Club is introducing free Cadet Membership to all youngsters who are related to present club members and to new members who join the club in the future.

This is a great initiative to enable youngsters to develop their golfing skills, obtain lessons from qualified golf coaches and have access to superb practice facilities including driving range, pitching and putting facilities as well as an Academy three hole golf course.

Seaford Golf club established in 1887 has long been a favoured Sussex course with its downland fairways providing magnificent views of the surrounding countryside and the English Channel.

Hands Up!

The Club professionals are equipped to work with young people to develop their abilities at a very early stage from their first swing through to Junior membership and Junior competitions.

The boys and girls will develop their skills through use of the Junior Golf Passport, a national structured learning programme endorsed by the Professional Golf Association (PGA). The programme has three key levels: • Start – An elementary introduction to golf which is all about having fun; • Learn – Moving towards technical instruction through games-based learning, still continuing with the emphasis on fun; • Play – Teaches the child to apply their learning to the golf course, preparing them for club membership and competition.

Further details of the ‘Golf Passport’ can be found at www.golf-foundation.org For further details please contact Lawrence DennisSmither the Secretary at Seaford Golf Club: Tele: 01323 892442 Email: secretary@seafordgolfclub.co.uk Seaford Golf Club, 111, Firle Road, Seaford, East Sussex BN25 2JD

inner wisdom. This will lead into a workshop during which each of us will make our own set of runes.

A DAY OF MEDITATION, CREATIVITY & DRUMMING

with Robin Shell at Florence House October 25th 2016, 9am – 5pm Cost £35

This will be a day of calm and deep relaxation. The aims of the day are to invite participants to relax, breathe, chant, create, meditate, intuit, explore, play and drum. I will be running the day on my own this time, and building on feedback from previous days, we will slow down and make a gentle inward journey.

Relaxation: The day will begin with a deep relaxation using Yoga Nidra. From this, the group will explore through a creative exercise, where they are in their lives now.

Lunch: This is followed by the delicious Florence House lunch, and a walking meditation around the grounds of this beautiful house; and for some maybe, to the sea.

Colour: We return in the afternoon to meditations and exercises that explore how colour can help us heal – both psychologically, physically and spiritually. We will look at how we can harness the energy of colour in our daily lives.

Chanting and Drumming: We will end the day with chants and drumming. Through the resonance of our voices the chanting will enhance our connection to our bodies.

Then – the magic of drumming (with Jamie Morgan) will transport us to another place, a place of pure being, pure existence.You need have no experience of drumming to join in, this is inclusive drumming where we each do what we can and what moves us.

If this day sounds like something you would like to do, please contact me Robin on 07956555688 or email me: Runes: After a break we will use runes – an ancient oracle robinshell63@gmail.com.

Seaford Striders

BEXHILL 5K

Wednesday, 27th July 2016 It was a wet and windy Wednesday and the ten Seaford Striders were all hoping that the weather would clear before the evening when the two-lap Bexhill seafront 5K was scheduled to take place, which thankfully it did.

The race itself fielded over 300 runners and consisted of three one-mile laps on a tight flat course. One benefit from such a race is being able to pass teammates throughout the race and as always every Strider was cheering each other on as they passed.

Because of the short distance, 5K races tend to be about making a quick start and endeavouring to maintain it to the finish. The runners benefitted from a tailwind when heading east and suffered a headwind on the return.

Being a fast course, Striders had high hopes of being able to achieve PBs (personal bests) and some managed to sustain the fast pace and achieve their goal. As a result the seniors and vets brought in some excellent results for our club and points for the SGP (Sussex Grand Prix)!

First across the line was Tom Oliver (Eastbourne Rovers AC) in a time of 16:14secspressive 18:00. Second for the Striders and giving a brilliant performance, was Scott Hitchcock, 19:39. He was quickly followed by Dave Dunstall and Phil Robinson, who also excelled in times of 20:03 and 20:29 respectively.

Striders was Carlie Watts, who is used to the longer distances but did not disappoint. She had set herself a sub 28 and was delighted with her:27:45, which was thanks to fellow club mate Tom Roper pacing her and also coming in at 27:45 so congrats to the keen newcomer great stuff!

It was a well organised event and the spectators were great, with the event bringing the attention to some very good runners of all ages.

Report by Scott Hitchcock.

Not letting the females down, Claire Keith was superb in a time of 21:01. Striders’ strength in depth was again highlighted by Richard Honeyman, 24:49; Sue Garner, 25:21 and Chris Le Beau, 26:03. First time out for the

ALL CHANGE Are you looking for a fairy tale ending?

Relationships are a wonderful part of our lives.

Make sure you don’t want your partner to be somebody else.

Managing expectations in relationships can be hard work.

We are constantly bombarded by movies, fairy-tales and magazines telling us how relationships ‘should’ look.

However, these high expectations can be difficult to live up to and one or both partners can end up feeling let down and disappointed. The princess is really cheesed off that the prince doesn’t put his socks in the laundry basket and constantly forgets to put the seat down. The Prince wasn’t counting on the princess nagging and constantly scratching the hub caps as she parks the car.

Managing expectations is essential to keeping the love and respect going and growing in a relationship. Here are some useful tips to help you keep your expectations realistic and achievable:

Don’t expect your partner to know what you want if you haven’t asked for it?

I have noticed in my own practice that very often people don’t really know what they want. However, they feel very upset when they don’t get it. Confused? Imagine how that plays out in a relationship with either or both partners feeling constantly let down whilst the other feels incompetent. Knowing what we want is an important part of knowing who we are. We might not always get what we want but knowing gives us a point from which we can negotiate and compromise. Be clear about what you want and ask for it, but be prepared to compromise sometimes.

Talk to your partner about what you want; it’s not fair to expect your partner to be a mind reader.

Don’t expect your partner to make up for your shortcomings

It may be comforting to think that once you find Miss or Mr Right they will cast a magic spell and all your life problems will be resolved. Expecting your partner to heal emotional wounds from your past will put an enormous strain on your relationship. Hoping that your partner will make up for the shortcomings in the relationship you had with your parents is an unfair expectation.You will

106

only ever resolve early childhood issues by looking at the relationship you have with yourself. However, you can ask your partner for their support as you work on yourself but don’t expect your partner to do the work for you.

Don’t expect your partner to give up their passions Your partner’s hobbies and interests are probably part of what attracted you to them in the first place, so it is important in relationships to keep hobbies and interests going. I appreciate that it can be difficult when there are children and other family commitments in the mix.

Finding a balance that includes romantic time, family time and time to pursue individual interests is the key to relationship harmony.

Each of you will have friends that you want to spend time with. Don’t expect your partner to give up their friends or expect your spouse to feel the same way about your friends as you do.

Don’t expect your relationship to be great all of the time

Everybody feels moody and messes up sometimes; it’s part of being human. We all have days when we’re exhausted and we can be thoughtless and self absorbed.

Cut each other some slack. Be realistic about relationships, they’re not all plain sailing. The important thing is to keep talking and LISTENING to each other. If communication becomes very difficult seek professional help.

Sometimes we can spend so much time looking at how our partner has disappointed us and focusing on how they fall short of our romantic ideal that we miss all the things that make that person unique. Take a look at what you respect and admire about your partner. Who knows you may find you fall in love with them all over again!

Seaford Afternoon Flower Club At our meeting on 18th August, we were treated to a wonderful demonstration by Stephanie Laing entitled “A Wood Affair”. Stephanie is a creative and experienced demonstrator who provided us all with lots of ideas and inspiration.

The entries for the Seaford Horticultural Show on Saturday 13th August were of the usual high standard and gave us, as always, a feast for the eyes, not just in the flower arranging section, but also for the exhibits of fruit, vegetables, crafts and produce.

Our meeting this month on September 15th is a talk by a gardener at Great Dixter. This promises to be a most interesting and informative afternoon. Great Dixter is a spectacular garden in Kent and well worth a visit. Next month on 20th October we have a demonstration by Gaenor Circus entitled “Through the Ages”.

Seaford Little Theatre. This promises to be a very special and entertaining afternoon, and tickets will be on sale soon.

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

SEAHAVEN COUNSELLING & HYPNOTHERAPY Welcome to our page. With our practice getting busier and busier I thought I’d take the opportunity to introduce myself and my colleague Lyn a little more this month. Between us we’re now able to provide appointments from Monday – Friday, day and evening.

Let me introduce you to Lyn….

And a little about me…

I am a qualified Counsellor (Dip.Counselling, Transactional Analysis). Much of my experience has come from working with many clients within a large medical practice, having also trained as a Bereavement Volunteer and now operating my own private practice in Berwick as well as at Seahaven Counselling in Newhaven with Fleur.

Also a fully qualified Counsellor (Dip. Counselling, Transactional Analysis) and trainee Psychotherapist, hoping to take my final exams early next year. I’ve been working as a therapist for the last seven years, beginning at St Wilfrids hospice, supporting those who had been bereaved.

This gave me a real passion for this type of work and I have found it a very privileged and humbling experience. I also worked at the As You Are Centre in Southwick, another fabulous organisation where I supported people with a wide range of concerns.

I’ve worked in a busy medical practice for some years have found that many issues brought to counselling involve loss of some kind, which usually involves the client feeling anxious. Loss comes in many forms, it can involve loosing a friendship, a family pet, bereavement, a job, good health, a relationship, control of eating / drinking, self esteem and confidence.

I believe that in building a strong and trusting relationship with my clients it enables them to feel safe and supported whilst discussing and exploring the issues they have chosen to bring to the counselling room. I look forward to working with you.

Please take a look at our web site: www. seahaventherapy.co.uk, email seahaventherapy@ hotmail.com or make contact by phone: 07708 897308. We look forward to welcoming you.

Fleur & Lyn.

Three years ago I set up my private practice in Newhaven where I’m pleased to say I’m busy and hoping that means people are getting the support they need and the stigma of mental health is diminishing. I’m a big believer that therapy is a workout for the mind, as much as going to the gym or a run is a workout for the body. Amongst other things, I work with adults who may be bereaved, depressed or anxious, have relationship, self-esteem or confidence problems, or maybe they have been diagnosed Autistic, OCD, Bipolar. I also have experience of working in corporate organisations in both the public and private sector so I often find this helps people who have issues at work or in their career.

Seaford Mayor helps celebrate second anniversary for Horder Healthcare Seaford Mayor Cllr Lindsay Freeman joined local people to help Horder Healthcare Seaford celebrate its second anniversary on Thursday 4th August.

The Mayor, who was joined by her husband and Consort Nick, met new Practice Manager Shan Butler and had a tour of the centre and its facilities.

our celebration. We’re very proud to be part of the local community, so it was great to see local residents and share our plans for the future.”

Charity Horder Healthcare is seeking planning permission for additional parking at the centre to accommodate the increasing number of visitors.

Horder Healthcare, which runs The Horder Centre in Crowborough, celebrated its 60th birthday in 2014.

Its focus is to advance health, by continuing to provide outstanding services including elective orthopaedic surgery, physiotherapy and a range of health and wellbeing specialist classes, alongside the specialist services available at The McIndoe Centre in East Grinstead, including maxillofacial services, ophthalmology, and reconstructive plastic surgery.

More than 30 local residents visited the centre in Sutton Road and enjoyed canapés and a glass of champagne. They were able to talk to physiotherapists and hear about services and classes on offer during the week.

Horder Healthcare Seaford opened in August 2014 to provide NHS and self-pay musculoskeletal healthcare services to local people. The clinic also offers health and wellbeing classes, led by physiotherapists, including Modified Pilates, Classical Pilates, Fitness for the Over 50s, and Balance and Flexibility.

Karen East, Marketing, PR and Fundraising Manager for Horder Healthcare, said: “We were delighted that the Mayor and her Consort could take the time to join in

New Slimming World Group supports Local Cancer Research Shop Wednesday 6th July saw the successful launch of a new Slimming World group at the Clinton Centre Seaford. The Wednesday evening group is run by Tina Harman who has worked and lived in Seaford for more than 18 years.

Slimming World is a supporter of Cancer Research UK and Tina has been supporting the local Cancer Research shop in Broad Street Seaford. Shop Manager Laura Gerrard allowed Tina and fellow consultant Anne to dress the shop window to promote the Slimming World clothes throw. More than 80 bags of clothes were donated to the shop by local Slimming World members who had slimmed out of their old clothes. Nationally the clothes throw raised over £2.1 million from more than 80,000 bags of donated clothes.

Tina also helped the Ladies from the Cancer Research shop at their fundraising coffee morning at the Little Theatre in June. The next Fundraising event they have planned is a Fashion show in October.

Tina decided to become a Slimming World consultant after successfully losing weight with the Chyngton group. She had piled on weight after comfort eating and drinking to cope with the stress of a job she had begun to hate. Feeling bullied and unappreciated her weight had ballooned and her self esteem plummeted.

When she finally tried to stand up for herself it proved too much and she suffered a nervous breakdown. Last summer she joined Slimming World and in less than a year she has not only lost weight but her confidence has soared and now she has a new career.

‘Slimming World has given me back my life”she says “I was in a very dark place and now I want to help anyone else who feels the same to regain their life, their health and themselves.”

The Alexander Technique Geraldine Gleeson is giving one-to-one taster sessions at Lexden Rd, Seaford for £20 – usually £33

Seaford Tree Wardens

Trees for Bees

With bees on the decline, both in the UK and worldwide, it’s important that we do as much as we can to help them. A big proportion of our food supply relies on pollination by bees, and numbers in the UK are estimated to have dropped by 30% in the last decade. One thing that we can do to help out bees is to plant more trees. When trees flower, they create thousands upon thousands of flower heads, providing an excellent source of pollen and nectar for bees, and other pollinators for that matter. Here are a few varieties of trees ideal for bees to gather pollen from:

Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) This native

tree flowers between March and April, producing an abundance of white flowers that bees will love. It has the added benefit of producing delicious sloes in late summer/early autumn.

Professional Pet Care at your home

For cats, dogs, small animals, ducks and chickens, with experience in caring for elderly pets and those on medication.

Pet Au Pair is a personal visiting service tailored to the needs of your pets.

I am fully insured and vet recommended with over 10 years experience.

Call Kathi on:

01323 895863 or mob: 07837 841792

petaupairuk@yahoo.co.uk

Goat Willow (Salix caprea) Also known as pussy willow, this tree provides an important early source of pollen for bees from the furry catkins it produces. Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris) - The crab apple produces perfumed pink and white blossoms in mid spring, perfect for attracting bees!

Testimonials available at: www.petaupair.moonfruit.com

Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) This tree, also known as mountain ash, produces dense clusters of flowers that are great for bees in spring, and also heaps of red berries in autumn, that birds will be happy to munch on.

Whitebeam (Sorbus aria) The whitebeam flowers in May, the many clusters of white flowers it produces are an ideal late spring source of nectar and pollen.

Common Lime (Tilea x europaea) Bees will be attracted to the yellowy white flowers, but the common lime also attracts aphids. This is important for bees, because they will drink the aphid honeydew that is deposited on the leaves. Aphid honeydew is a sugary liquid that aphids secrete, which doesn’t sound very appealing to us humans, but bees love it!

Seaford Little Theatre

Steel Magnolias

When I was a trainee reporter on the local paper I kept a hairpiece arranged in a complicated up do and pinned this to my hair whenever I had to go to a black tie event. That bit of falsehood enabled me to pocket the 7s 6d I should have spent at the hairdressers when I claimed it on expenses (the men by the way were allowed to hire a dinner jacket). I was remembering this when the curtain went up on Seaford Little Theatre’s production of Steel Magnolias and reflected that I might have treated myself if I had thought the salon was going to be half as much fun as the one portrayed in this production.

For Truvy’s Louisiana house of beauty is the place to go for all-over care, a place to laugh, cry and share. As she says, “Laughter through tears is her favourite emotion.”

And we the audience had plenty of side-splitting lines to enjoy during the first three scenes and a lot of both in the last as we joined in the lives of the little community of salon regulars having their shampoo and sets.

This production was a collaboration with Meeching Amateur Dramatics. Robert Harling’s play, from which the 1989 film was adapted, was directed with great vision by Garry Fowler, a member of both societies.

The all-woman cast exuded the warmth given out by a group of friends who know each other inside out. As salon owner Truvy, Marilynne Sharpin took

on the Dolly Parton role and made it her own from the top of her permed wig to the bottom of her long shapely legs, delivering her lines with spot-on timing that had the full house guffawing merrily. As assistant Annelle, Shar Turnbull, who co-founded Seaford Musical Theatre Juniors, was very funny and I hope she will be seen on the Little Theatre stage again. That both had to deliver lines while portraying very convincing hairdressing skills was remarkable. But keep the day job girls.

Another steal from Seaford Musical Theatre was Emma Ruggins who played Shelby, the sick daughter of Jenny Humphries’ M’Lynn. The pair’s relationship was both touching and humorous, and Humphries’ anger at the death of her daughter was movingly done.

Seaford stalwart Sylvia Aston was well cast as the selfdeprecatory Clairee and it was great to see Wendy Picott make her return as Ouiser, the outrageously loud client who doesn’t care what her foul temper makes her come out with.

I’m not the first person to say this, but it was so good not to see a set requiring French windows and a painted garden, and Seaford’s Alan Lade devised a great salon complete with hood driers sourced by Ray and Debbie Cox for period flavour. If this is what collaboration with another society does, then bring it on. After prolonged applause everyone left the theatre beaming. But whatever happened to shampoo and sets for 7s 6d?

English Vintage Charity Tea Party Over 100 guests enjoyed a quintessential English Vintage Charity Tea Party held at Bates Green Farm Arlington.The sun shone, the Seaford Silver Band entertained the guests with their selection of popular music ending with a rousing Sussex By the Sea. The atmosphere was very relaxing and happy, and the guests were served with a delicious tea, commencing with Prosecco served by wine waiter Mr Tony Osborne and John Wilson.

This was followed by assorted sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, and delicious home made cakes served by one of four waitresses. The venue decorated with bunting and attractively laid tables added to the occasion. It was lovely to see so many guests dress for the occasion and enter into the spirit, wearing vintage outfits and stylish hats.

Thanks to the generosity of those that attended, three charities – MacMillan Support, Marys Meals and Newhaven and Seaford Sea Cadets will each benefit from a donation of over £750 . Well done and thanks to everyone who so generously supported this fundraising event.

Rotary Club of Seaford

Presidents Night & Handover

Annually Rotary Clubs change their Club President on the first of each July. Peter Fenwick handed over the Presidential jewel of office to Bill Pierce at the President’s Night on Wednesday 29th June at Seaford Golf Club, at which Club members, spouses, partners, friends and family members enjoyed a barbeque.

The weather did not play ball however and the event had to be taken inside due to the inclement conditions.

Paul Harris Fellowship award

Before his last act as President there was one task that Peter had much pleasure in performing – the presentation of a Paul Harris Fellowship award. He gave a résumé of the life of the recipient which included running a 2-week open tennis tournament for 7 years, being chairman of Tennis Sussex for 5 years and regularly refereeing junior tennis tournaments, as well as giving exceptional service to the Rotary Club including Chairmanship of the Youth and Vocational Committee. The worthy recipient was Past President Jim Anderson, and Peter extended congratulations to him on behalf of the Club for all he has done in supporting both the Club and the local community.

After the award, a very surprised Jim said that he was completely unaware that the award was to be made and if he appeared not to be smiling when photographs were taken it was because he was trying to think of a suitable response to his award.

Presidential handover

Before President Peter Fenwick formally handed over to President Elect Bill Pierce, he described what he had learnt as President: “Lesson Number 1. At the beginning of my year people said that the President gets to do whatever he likes. Not True. Yes, sometimes the buck has to stop and a

122

decision has to be made, but this is our Club, the member’s club. Any changes or decisions have to be meet our collective needs and consultation comes first.

“Lesson Number 2. Delegation, Delegation, Delegation.

We have an amazing skill set in this Club, and I have come to appreciate even more what potential we have to do good work. You can ask someone to do something, and it will be done to a level that exceeds your expectations. People join Rotary because they want to do things, and they like to be involved. You learn to use that, but never take it for granted.

“Lesson Number 3. You’ve got to give it a go. If you’re asked to complete a leadership role, or any task in Rotary, take it, the journey is really worth it.”

Peter wished Bill all the very best for the year ahead, and that he has a fantastic year. Peter said that he was looking forward to working alongside Bill whenever needed, and told Bill’s wife, Jennifer not to worry too much, ‘we’ll make sure you get to see Bill from time to time!’ Peter then handed over the Presidential chains of office to Bill Pierce for Rotary Year 2016/17. Bill Pierce in his turn handed over the jewels of office for Vice President to Mike Roper and the 2nd Vice President to Steven Willox.

Bill Pierce confirmed that the aims of his Presidency will be to maintain the current level of membership and improve its diversity. Engagement with other Clubs including neighbouring Martello and Seaford Inner Wheel will continue. The strength of our Rotary “Friends” support group will be increased. Formation of a viable twinning option with a club abroad will be explored.

There will be greater focus on youth lead by the new Youth Committee, the elderly in the community and the deprived whether by finance or manpower. The Club will continue to engage with the local community

through effective publicity, and will support national projects such as the fight to eradicate polio.

Boot, Craft & Produce Fair

The weather is a fickle friend of our Rotary Boot, Craft & Produce Fairs this summer. The forecast for the morning of the July Fair indicated rain. The outlook appeared not to be good.

The weather was overcast but dry. Suggestions that the weather forecast would deter some potential stall holders appeared unfounded however as about 50 stall holders set up their pitches. As the public arrived, reports came in of very wet weather west of Newhaven and heavy rain in Eastbourne. Although there were the occasional spots of rain, the heavy rain held off and avoided Seaford. As the morning progressed, the sun broke through the clouds and the weather improved.

The result was a successful Boot, Craft & Produce Fair which raised notable funds to be used to support local charities. Our next Boot, Craft & Produce Fair will be held at the Martello Fields on Sunday 4th September.

but not overwhelming, and vehicles of competitors and spectators for these races filled half the Western Martello Field.

Cars and some large vans continued to be parked throughout the morning such that as the start time of the last race, the Sprint (750m swim – 20km cycle – 5km run) and Sprint Team Relay at 11.45am approached, consideration was being given to opening the overfill field for parking. This however was ultimately found not to be necessary.

On the Sunday, competitors could either take part in either the Half Marathon (21.1K), a 10K run or a 5K fun run. All races started at 9.30am. All competitors’ cars were successfully parked by the start of the race and only the arrival of a few late spectators occupied the Rotarians on duty after the race start.

The result of the Rotarians efforts on the two days was a significant contribution to funds for use in supporting local charities.

South Coast Triathlon and Half-Marathon

The weekend of 9th/10th July saw competitors for the South Coast Triathlon and Half-Marathon descend upon Seaford, and once again Seaford Rotary Club organised the car parking in the Martello Fields.

On the Friday before the events an advance group of Rotarians prepared for the events by marking out the white lines for the parking bays on the West Martello Field. Early on the Saturday, Rotarians assembled to manage the parking of competitors’ vehicles, not only collecting parking fees but also helping to guide each arrival into their allocated space.

The first events on the Saturday at 9am were the Super Sprint and the Fun Triathlon (200m swim – 10km cycle – 2.5km run), followed by the Olympic event (1,500 metre swim – 40 km cycle – 10 km run) and Olympic Team Relay which both started at 9.30am. Up to the start of these races, the flow of vehicles was constant

Protect & transform your old roof Our specialist roof cleaning systems remove unsightly moss, lichens and debris. This alone reduces blocked gutters, down pipes and especially reduces blocking of soak-aways. It also reveals broken and damaged tiles that can lead to water damage inside your property. Once checked and repaired and then treated with 2 specialist transparent water sealer coatings, your roof tiles will last longer, be protected against water penetration, decreases water absorption into the tiles and dramatically reduces rapid moss and plant growth.
