Museum Project ramps up and lifts off!

The exciting, long-awaited project to install a new footbridge and lift at Seaford Museum is now back on track, thanks to a timely grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) of £100,000.

The project was first suggested in 2010, when the Trustees of the Keith Baker Charitable Will Trust approached the Museum with an offer of a grant to make the Museum accessible to wheelchair users and other less mobile people. “It was a very generous offer, which became a massive challenge” said Kay Turvey, Seaford Museum Chairman. “The past years have seen a series of ups and downs as various problems were encountered and eventually overcome, but throughout that time we have enjoyed the active support of the Keith Baker Trust, which has pledged £200,000 to the project, as well as many other local groups and people.”

The Seaford Museum improved access project will see the installation of a new ramped footbridge; an internal lift; ramping to the lower ground floor exhibition space; new energy efficient LED lighting and improved displays and interpretation material. “This means that for the first time Martello Tower 74, which houses our important museum of local history, will be accessible to all our members and visitors,” added Kay Turvey.

Seaford Museum is located in Martello Tower 74, which was the last of a series of defensive forts constructed along the coast of Sussex and Kent as a reaction to the threat of a Napoleonic invasion. Although 74 were built in the southeast of England, fewer than half remain and this is the only one open to the public throughout the year.

The walls are up to 10 feet thick and it is surrounded by a 20-foot-deep moat. The original access to the Tower was across a drawbridge; there were only two small windows and movement between the various levels was by way of trapdoors and ladders. Subsequently the drawbridge was removed and part of the moat covered over to form the promenade leaving the only way into the museum through a narrow door and down a set of steep stairs.

“At the moment it’s not the most welcoming of buildings for visitors!” commented Kay Turvey.

6

The Tower is a Scheduled Ancient Monument which has meant that all proposals have had to be approved not just by the local planning authorities but also by Historic England (previously English Heritage). The original plan had been to put the lift in the moat, but that was ruled as visually unacceptable, so a number of alternative ideas were drawn up by the scheme’s Architects, the Brighton based Morgan Carn Partnership Architects. “Without their creative skills, enthusiasm and patience the project might have folded very early on,” said Kay Turvey.

The latest blow to the project was a change in the VAT rules which meant that the zero rate VAT allowance for work on historic buildings was removed, leading to a potential 20% increase in the costs of the work. However, the Museum has obtained a ruling from HMRC which has allowed the new access to be classified as a ramp, which does qualify for zero rate VAT, but the removal of the general concession will apply to other essential work and the change will still add about £30,000 to the cost, bringing it up to just under £300,000 overall.

Fortunately an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund was submitted and a grant of £100,000 has recently been approved. “Without that generous grant we might well have been stuck,” said Kay Turvey “It goes to show that it’s not just National Lottery winners who benefit from the weekly flutter, but small local charities such as ourselves.

We can now look forward to the building work starting later this year and our Museum being opened up to even more visitors and students in 2017.

“We will also be able to offer volunteering and learning opportunities to people who have been excluded up to now because they haven’t been able to get into the building, and we will be reducing our running costs by installing energy efficient LED lighting, particularly important in a building which had no windows or natural light. We believe that by making the Museum more accessible we will be able to make an important contribution to making the Seaford seafront more attractive to visitors and residents alike, and make a contribution to the local economy and wellbeing of the town. We have a busy but exciting few months ahead of us.”

Seaford Floods, Past and Future: Partnership AGM The risk of flooding is a hot topic in Seaford. After the Seaford Community Partnership’s two over-subscribed public Flood Meetings 18 months ago, Town Councillors and others formed a flood working group. Then just last month (April 23rd) the Seaford Community Flood Fair took place.

Now the SCP is continuing the theme with an illustrated talk, Seaford under Threat!, by local historian and author Kevin Gordon, showing the floods, wave damage and storm problems that have beset the town including the Great Flood of 1875; and the efforts with sea walls, groynes and beach reconstruction.

SCP is holding its AGM at 7.45 for 8pm at Clinton Centre on Monday 23rd May. After a very brief business meeting (don’t worry: they aren’t recruiting Committee Members!) Kevin will give his talk.

That will be followed by a brief rundown of SCP’s activities over 12 months, and its future plans.

Activities / Plans have included Tree Planting; maintaining the Beach Garden; planning better access and wider use for our jetty-turned-Pier at Splash Point; the existing Youth Task Group; planned Public Performance Area at the Martello; and maintenance and improvement of the Heritage Trail and the Seafront Exercise Trail. SCP also organises the Cross-Seaford-Transport Working Group, works with Southern and Network Rail to bring about station and service improvements, and is part of the Impact Seaford project of economic regeneration.

As the name suggests, the Community Partnership works with all local Councils, Environment Agency, Railways and access groups to jointly improve our town.

Your input is very welcome, so come along to the meeting and have your say.

Cycle Seahaven

Spring has well and truly sprung at Cycle Seahaven. The better weather means we are out riding even more, with the Easter weekend being particularly busy.

Our thanks go to Newberry Tully Estate agents for financially supporting a two-day First Aid training course we arranged for our Ride Leaders. This took place at the Pump Barn, Exceat, the use of which was donated to us

by Sussex Wildlife Trust. Stephen Newberry, of Newberry Tully, said: “We’re delighted to support such a worthwhile project. As a business we take our responsibility to the environment and our community very seriously. Cycling is a healthy pastime and doesn’t impact on the environment and for us to be able to help is fantastic and fits in with what we are passionate about.”

Andrew Lock on behalf of Cycle Seahaven said, “This training means that more of our ride leaders will be confident and able to deliver even safer rides for our members. They will also be equipped to administer first aid whenever and wherever needed. This is a great example of businesses working with charities and voluntary groups for the benefit of the community.”

The Cycle Seahaven Family Forest Ride for 2016 started this Easter Saturday as over 50 cyclists took to Friston Forest for what is becoming our annual Easter Saturday bike ride and Easter Egg hunt. 28 children braved the dry but windy weather for the promise of finding many a hidden Cream Egg as they rode round the forest.

Organised and led by Ride Leader Mark Woodgate and supported by Ride Leaders Jo, Dave, Ray and Paul, the group started in the Exceat car park and headed around the Family Trail, stopping at regular intervals to hunt for the hidden Cream Eggs. Two bonus eggs were also given out to children who knew the answers to 2 questions that were posed as they rode round. The first was “Who is the land owner of the area we are riding around?”

Answer: South East Water. The second was “How many trees are there in Friston Forest?” Answer: Lots! Again this year we had a great age range out on the ride, with the youngest being just 3 and the eldest at 75, showing that

12

all ages and abilities can get out and enjoy this wonderful countryside we have right here on our doorstep.

This year’s ride was given an additional fun element courtesy of Mr Cycles in Seaford, who lent out 2 full suspension demo e-bikes (normal bikes but with an

additional electric motor that makes climbing the hills in the forest epic fun!). It was wide grins all around as people discovered the thrill of the electric motor kicking in as they powered up hills at an incredible rate.

Upcoming Events Cycle seahaven has been actively supporting the campaign for a cycle path between Lewes and Newhaven known as Egrets way.The section between Southease and Deans farm will be opening on Saturday 14th May, where there will be a club stand with free bike tune-ups, eBikes to try from Mr Cycles, and led family rides between The Big Park and Southease.

On Sunday 12th June Cycle Seahaven members will be joining the new Martello Rotary Triple Challenge. This is a 20-mile or 30-mile cycle ride from Seaford and around the Downs in aid of British Heart Foundation. Right on our doorstep! There’s also a walk and a half-marathon. It’s only £15 to enter. To find all the details and to register online go to www.triplechallenge.martellorotary.org.uk/ Finally keep an eye open for Cycle Seahaven members in their new jerseys which have been generously sponsored

by UK cycle labs, Newbury Tully, Chandlers and Mr Cycles.

The club continues to grow in strength and always welcomes new riders of any ability. You can be sure of great rides, advice and a friendly bunch of people. If you want to find out more, check our website, cycleseahaven. org.uk, or search for our Facebook page. Or you can drop in to Mr Cycles to find out more, membership is just £5 a year.

EAST BLATCHINGTON LECTURES A LOCAL clergyman who is about to have his seventh book published will be talking about it in the next in the popular series of East Blatchington Lectures.

Canon Dr Andrew Mayes, Rector of St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford, is calling his talk “Mixing Metaphors”, marking the publication of the new book, Learning the Language of the Soul.

He explains that while we are usually never lost for words, we can be strangely tongue-tied when it comes to describing our inner, spiritual life. He will help us explore a range of startling metaphors, ancient and contemporary, to help loosen our tongues. Dr Mayes is an accomplished speaker and teacher, and leavens his talks with an engaging humour. He will be talking on Tuesday 3rd May at 2.30pm at St Peter’s. It is an event which is open to all, whether worshippers or not. Tickets are £7, including refreshments, from the church or Newberry Tully Estate Agents, Church Street, Seaford.

All at sea

The Great War is usually associated with mud and trenches in France. This month, however, we commemorate the most significant naval engagement of WW1, which happened up the Channel in the North Sea off Jutland. A couple of years earlier, the Royal Navy’s Grand Fleet had quietly slipped away to Scotland, but exactly one hundred years ago on the last day of May, it steamed out to meet the German Imperial High Seas Fleet in full strength. Salzman’s English History records ‘our heavy losses and the escape of the enemy made the battle of Jutland appear a very doubtful victory, but the fact remains that the German fleet never ventured out of harbour again’ at Kiel.

Instead ‘efforts were concentrated on a submarine campaign…directed not only against fighting ships and transports, but also against all merchant-ships…aimed at not only starving England into submission – in which it was more nearly successful than admitted at the time – but also at producing the moral effect of panic.’

To help counter the new threat, an experimental and costly seaplane base was built at Tide Mills, the remains of which can be seen to this day, especially the foundations of ramps and hangars.

The hangar door runners are still there set in the original concrete. There are also the relics of two U-boats (Unterseeboote) or submarines not far away—UB 121 on the foreshore under the Seven Sisters and the deck gun of UB 130 in Paradise Park. Both vessels were wrecked whilst under tow, however, rather than by military action. UB 130 sank off Beachy Head, but the deck gun was raised by British divers eighty years later.

It still needed a deactivation certificate, perhaps a compliment to antique German engineering. UB 121 lay corroding away on the beach until finally scrapped forty years later. Nevertheless, the rusty remains of the curved hull are still there impressed on the chalk platform, making a convenient lunch seat when the tide goes out.

The seaplanes are long gone, but two amusing stories are handed down. On one occasion, a patrolling plane spotted what appeared to be a submarine periscope in the sea rippling through the waves. An attack was launched, to no avail. It turned out to be a piece of protruding metalwork from a wreck exposed by the ebbing tide.

On another occasion, a plane flew as far as Brighton to the acclaim of the promenaders.

The pilot was subsequently advised that there were no German submarines in Brighton Aquarium.

Can you identify the plane in the photo above? Answer on page 93.

PRIMROSE

The Primula Vulgaris, better known as the Primrose is native to several parts of the world from Western and Southern Europe, to Africa, Turkey and Iran and is one of the earliest spring flowers to show itself. This pretty little flower, if left alone, will cover the ground in open woods and shaded hedgerows, motorway verges and railway embankments can also have displays. In the UK it is illegal to pick or dig up primroses from the wild due to risk of damage to the species. Primroses are available to buy as seeds or young plants and will grow best in moist but well drained soil in light shade. At the end of their flowering season they can be dug up, split into smaller plants and put elsewhere in the garden where they will settle and prepare their lovely yellow flowers ready for the next year.

to d o

At the end of March the Society held its social evening with a talk on The Rathfinney Wine Estate Alfriston given by Richard James. This was well received by the large audience present and several questions were also put to Richard after his talk.

The evening included the competition of 3 daffodils in a vase, when several members exhibited their best blooms. A lovely variety was displayed for the judge to choose a winner. Sylvia Reeve

what

M

ay is the month of flowers blooming, trees blossoming and seed sowing. It is also the month when weeds can appear anywhere in the garden – prepared soil ready for plants and seeds is suddenly covered with weeds. These all need removing before sowing and planting can begin, a job nobody likes doing and which takes up valuable time. The hoe is put into use and then needs to be kept at hand as the weeds can soon appear again. A recommended answer these days is mulching, and much has been written about types of mulches and their uses which is certainly worth a look and a try. Other issues for May are slugs and snails, a late frost and heavy rain but there is usually some warmth enabling flowers and crops to thrive, bringing delight and pleasure to the garden.

JOBS TO DO IN MAY

Tender young plants raised indoors need hardening off before they face the outside world. Move them out to a sunny sheltered spot during the day and bring back inside at night. This can be done for about two weeks until the threat of frost is past.

By now potato plants should be showing above ground.

Earth them up with a hoe so only the tips remain visible.

The growing tubers should not be exposed to light.

A few strawberry plants covered with a cloche just at night can encourage an earlier crop.

Plant up a seasonal pot with 3 or 4 flowering plants and place on a patio or door-step to attract bees and bring colour to the space.

Lily Beetles – look out for these pests, which are fast moving. Their larvae can defoliate and reduce the vigour of lilies and fritillaries quickly. Remove them promptly.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD The next social evening is at St Leonard’s Church Hall on Thursday 26th May at 7pm. The guest speaker is Jean Griffin with a talk entitled ‘ Tales from the BBC Potting Shed’. Jean has had a varied career in horticulture. Although Jean is now retired, she is still busy with various interests such as BBC radio and fundraising for charities. The Horticultural Show is getting closer, so members need to start thinking about the entries they could exhibit. The aim this year is to make the show bigger and better than before.

Seaford Gardening Club Easter has passed, the clocks have gone forward for summer time and we can now anticipate longer and warmer days ahead. Birds are building their nests and insects, such as bees and butterflies, are appearing. Spring has obviously arrived – hurrah!

Peter White, our resident Town Crier, gave a very interesting talk at our March meeting. He has lived in Seaford for 45 years and knows the town and many residents very well.

After tolling his bell and announcing ‘he was honoured to come to talk to Seaford Gardening Club’, he proceeded to tell us the history of the humble town crier. Peter was once told by a resident of Seaford that if the wind was in the right direction he could be heard in Cliff Close all the way from Broad Street!

The post of Town Crier was created many years ago for the sole purpose of announcing special events happening in the vicinity and other tasks. A man or woman can equally perform the job, and town criers can be seen in many parts of the world. One task he was asked to do

some years ago was to walk a bride down the aisle as her father did not want to do it! In 2001 Peter was asked to plant a tree to celebrate 100 years of Seaford Baptist Church.

His uniform is based on a Bishop’s frock coat, and a new one which was made a few years ago cost £1,800. The hat cost £400 and has lasted for many years. It is waxed with tallow to make it waterproof.

Before he was appointed Town Crier he took a keen interest in Seaford Museum and still helps out when he can. There is a Town Crier statue inside the Martello Tower.

It was a fascinating talk, told in an amusing and downto-earth manner. He swapped many tales with present members – a good entertaining evening for all of us. Long may we hear his rendition of ‘O Yea – O Yea’ to the sound of his bell while calling out ‘God Save the Queen’!

Anne Silk Our next talk is on Wednesday, 25th May and will commence at 7.30pm. It will be by Wing Commander Patrick Coulcher and is entitled ‘A Miscellany of Great British Natural History’.

The meeting will be held in the Clinton Centre, Clinton Place, Seaford (using door opposite Tesco).

Visitors are welcome for a fee of £2. There are no extra charges and refreshments are available. More information can be obtained by phoning Anne Silk on 01323 491331 or visiting the website www. seaford-sussex.co.uk/sgc.

The generosity of local organisations and townspeople never fails to astonish, so a heartfelt thank you to the Rotary Club of Seaford for handing over a cheque fat enough to enable us to reclothe the poly tunnel at our garden at the Crouch in strong new plastic and provide it with new doors at either end. So the next time you read about our doings we should be able to report ‘job done!’ To make the change from ripped and gull-pecked old to brand new as trouble free as possible, volunteers banded together and shifted hundreds of plants. A few of the tenderer ones – the plants not the volunteers – had been over wintering inside but most were ranged around the perimeter and had to be moved some distance to a sheltered spot near the classroom. Anyway, watch this space for a progress report and pictures.

Elsewhere in the garden work has been going on as usual, with top prizes for effort going to Natasha and James who have made a splendid job of clearing out the overgrown wildlife pond.

Natasha explained that waterlilies had clumped at the bottom and were in need of drastic action to enable a wider variety of plants to thrive. Fallen leaves were silting up the pond and the resulting gloop was cleared with nets. The wildlife, however, is doing very well, and James said that with every scoop they were finding at least four newts that were returned to the pond.

The frogs had spawned and a leech attached itself to Natasha who calmly picked it off and observed that her and James’ efforts should result in lots of dragonflies and damselflies.

Vegetable king Mike, meanwhile, was busy planting early peas – the first time these have been tried in the garden – into prepared soil. He said he would be protecting them from birds and the wind with tented netting.

And when everyone’s put in all this graft, isn’t it nice to be able to show off a bit?

Well, we’ve got the 2nd Seaford Brownies coming this month, we’ll be open for the Mayor’s garden trail on Sunday 5th June and the Macmillan trail on Saturday 9th July. Also, local MP Maria Caulfield has made a place in her diary for a visit to our garden on 16th July at 10am, by which time we should be operating our Saturday openings to sell produce. And with any luck we should be able to promise her a great showing of tomatoes, peppers and chillies in our refurbished poly tunnel.

Hastings Half Marathon Race

950 years ago William the Conqueror and his NormanFrench army came to these shores and defeated the Saxon King Harold, beginning the Norman conquest of England. The Battle of Hastings in 1066 is one of the most famous dates in our Countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long History.

In this anniversary year of the famous battle, twelve Striders bravely undertook the journey from Seaford to contest the 32nd Hastings Half Marathon. Heavily outnumbered by 3,000 runners of all abilities and nationalities, the Striders with their superior tactics and team spirit rose to the challenge and succeeded in posting some fantastic times, with many being personal bests (PBs).

The cool temperature and light north-easterly wind provided favourable weather conditions around this challenging course. Starting at the western end of the seafront, the determined runners followed an undulating route that includes a tough 2-mile climb up Queensway, a 3-mile steady run eastwards along the Ridge, a fast 2 mile descent back to the eastern end of the seafront, and a surprisingly long 2-mile promenade section back to the finish. As always the fantastic crowd support was out in force and provided the necessary boost at the right times.

The race was won by Robert Mbithi in 1:04:51. The first lady home was Lenah Jerotich, finishing in 1:16:51. First Strider home was Josh Rudd in 19th place overall with a superb PB time of 1:21:01. Scott Hitchcock improved on his recent Brighton Half time with another PB time of 1:26:22 (68th). Club London Marathon ballot winner, James Smith finished in 86th place with a PB of 1:27:36.

Next came an in-form Luke Borland in another PB time of 1:31:38; Phil Robinson 1:36:34; Kevin Ives 1:37:55. First Striders lady, Beth Ruddock, finished with an impressive PB of 1:42:20, a 2 minute improvement on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s result. Anna Norman finished in 1:50:13; Richard Honeyman 1:56:01; Terry Ward 1:57:02; David Hammond 2:41:23; and Ken Browning, proving that age is not a bar to running, in 3:25:29. The Striders all returned home victorious!

Seaford award-winning children’s author in London Marathon for ActionAid Award winning children’s author Giles Paley-Phillips set himself the ultimate running challenge by taking part in this year’s Virgin Money London Marathon on Sunday 24th April 2016 to raise funds for leading international charity ActionAid. The author, who lives with his family in Seaford, is a keen runner and has always wanted to take part in the marathon, so was only too happy to take up this opportunity to run for ActionAid who work across 45 countries to support women and children living in extreme poverty.

Giles said: “It has been a real privilege to be asked to be involved with ActionAid, whose amazing work changes the life of entire communities.

“I’ve been a running enthusiast for a while and participating in the London Marathon has always been

something I’ve wanted to do, so to run for such an incredible organisation as ActionAid is a dream come true.”

Giles joined the ActionAid team of 45 runners who took to the streets of London for this world-famous event.

Alessandra Arnott, ActionAid UK’s Supporter Events Officer, said: “We are delighted to have Giles join the ActionAid running team to help raise money and change lives for good.”

To sponsor Giles go to www.justgiving.com/GilesPaley-Phillips3 If you would like to take part in an event for ActionAid, visit www.actionaid.org.uk/ fundraise for further details.

Spring has sprung!

I know it’s still a bit nippy but there is definitely a feeling of new beginnings in the air. It is traditionally a time of feather dusters and decluttering; a time of getting rid of the old to make room for the new.

I feel that, along with the physical seasonal clear out, now is a good time to have a life review: a spring clean for the mind.

Get rid of ‘Should’

Anyone who has had therapy with me will know that this word is banished from the consulting room. The word ‘should’ is of no real benefit. It is a critical word that is full of regret and anxiety. We use it all the time, not only about ourselves but towards other people. We often say “I should do this or that” or worse “I should have...” When we talk about, or to, people we can be heard saying “you should... Get that broom and sweep ‘should’ out of the door. Replace ‘should’ with ‘could’ or ‘want’. This gives you choice and empowers you. Saying I ‘should’ go for a walk makes it into a chore, but saying I ‘want’ to go for a walk makes it your choice and puts you in the driving seat of your life.

Stop worrying about the opinion of others

You can’t stop people from judging you but you can stop worrying about it. Their opinion belongs to them, leave it with them. It’s really none of your business what other people think of you. If you have friends that are constantly critical of you then maybe you need to review those relationships.

Watch out for friends that zap your energy

Sometimes, when we don’t value ourselves, we attract people who confirm our low opinion of ourselves.You know the friend who is always putting you down or expects you to be there for her but is too busy when you need a shoulder to cry on. They may always have a negative view on life. When you have finished speaking to them you feel drained and exhausted. These are toxic relationships. We don’t want to hurt anyone and everyone needs support sometime in their life, however,

42

if you have friends that constantly make you feel low, review how much time you spend with them. Spend more time with people who believe in you and want what’s best for you.

Review your screen time

We seem to spend more and more time in front of a screen. Take a look at how much time you spend checking your social media, emails, text messages and surfing the internet. Do you spend hours a day listening to the news on the radio and TV shows? How does all this information affect you? Does it motivate you or leave you feeling emotionally drained? The problem with all the information is that your brain is constantly processing and a lot of the information we receive can be depressing and draining.

Find time to switch off

Make a pact with yourself that you won’t look at your phone after dinner time. Keep the bedroom free of electronic gadgets. Take some quiet time so that you can recharge your brain. You will be more creative and productive if you do.

Accept yourself for who you are

Celebrate the good bits and accept the bits you would like to change. Despite any myths you may have heard to contrary; nobody is perfect. Become your own best friend.

I found the picture above on the Seaford Photographic Society website. The picture was taken by Janice Hewitt and I feel that it is full of hope and joy. Embrace the sentiment of this picture, take this spring time to clear out the negative and promote the positive and take leaps of joy.

THE

HOUSE Because change begins with you...

COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

A happier life can start here...

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

Our therapies include...

INDIVIDUAL ADULT THERAPY

YOUNG PERSON’S COUNSELLING

COUPLE’S COUNSELLING

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

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

At ‘The House’ we will work together to identify and change the thoughts and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best.

Adolescents today can struggle to cope with the stresses of modern life; pressures at school, family dynamics and peer pressure. Teenagers preparing for adulthood in an ever-complex world, may feel that no one can understand their feelings, especially parents and teachers.

This can lead to anger and being confused about their changing identity. Counselling can give clarity to young people helping them to overcome their problems.

Having someone alongside us in whom we can trust and depend, enriches our lives.

When things go wrong we can end up feeling neglected, rejected or even abandoned by those we hold dearest. Whether working through a break up or resolving relationship issues; ‘The House’ offers clients a safe and respectful environment where, through mediation with a trained therapist, you can find a way forward.

French Twinning Spring Newsletter Our Fleur de Paris musical event in the village hall was a sell-out.

A huge success, with both Union Jacks and French flags decorating the hall. The tables with red check table-cloths and tea-lights added to the twinning theme. Homemade snacks and French wine were served by the twinning committee. It was, as promised, a foot tapping evening of the highest order and greatly enjoyed by all. Some brave souls even danced. This was the final event in our winter programme, which has included Cheese and Wine tastings, film evenings and our traditional annual Galette des Rois celebrations.

On 9th April we took part, along with other organisations, in the St Andrew’s Church Restoration Launch. Our table was in the Alfriston WM Village Hall.

On 30th April between 10am to 2pm we had our own turn in the church for the Teas & Tables event. We presented our group to both villagers and visitors in the hope of attracting some new members. Our Chair, June Goodfield, gave four, ten-minute talks on the historical links between Sussex and Normandy.

Over the Whitsun Weekend of 13/16th May, we will welcome thirty-eight French friends, including the Mayor, from Veules-les-Roses. This year’s twinning weekend theme is ‘Spring-time in Sussex’ and much organisation has, and is, taking place.

We have fifteen visits identified for our visitors to enjoy, including local gardens and houses of note, like Michelham Priory shown here. There will be a walk and picnic, a hog roast/ carvery if our number can be accommodated as we now have over eighty of our own twinning members plus our French guests. It is likely that these plans will have to be modified to create places for all who want to be involved.

We are also organising a photo competition, with two entry titles ‘Spring-time in Sussex’ and a photo which illustrates ‘What twinning means to me’ In May it will again be a great pleasure to welcome a group of primary school children from Normandy for a guided tour of Alfriston. The last time they came they were welcomed with a cream tea at Deans Place and enjoyed learning to play cricket.

The first weekend in July, 1st-3rd, will see local twinners, and anyone who joins our association in the near future, heading for the Flax, Linen and Needlework Festival. We have much to look forward to in 2016. (www.festivaldulin.org).

Local family feature in charity film Chestnut Tree children’s hospice has recently launched a film featuring a family from Lewes. The film aims to raise awareness of the charity, and the care that they can provide in children’s own homes across the whole of East Sussex.

The Lundin family have been cared for by the charity since 2011, when they were seeking respite care for their youngest child.

Dad Jason explains, ‘Eva was born 13 weeks early, not breathing, and spent the first 108 days of her life in hospital.

She was tiny but she fought hard.

She is now almost six years old and is a loving girl with Cerebral Palsy and chronic lung disease. She has come a long way since those early days, but she is still highly dependent on me and her mum for all of her needs. She cannot walk unaided, her weak chest means she is often dependent on oxygen, she is fed by a tube and she cannot speak to us. Of course, she communicates in her own way, and has even learnt a few signs, but caring for her is still hugely demanding.’

Jason gave up work to become Eva’s full time carer in 2011. ‘It’s definitely a lot harder doing the caring,’ says Jason. ‘As with any child, it’s all about getting into good routines, and luckily I have a highly-organised wife who takes care of that, but those routines are different when you are caring for a child with complex needs such as Eva. Seemingly simple tasks like doing the weekly shop or running errands were totally impossible without help.’

The family access a range of services at Chestnut Tree.

A nurse visits regularly to take care of Eva whilst Jason and Mel spend some quality time together. ‘It’s wonderful’ Jason says. ‘To start with, the visits from the Chestnut Tree Nurse gave us time to get everyday tasks done, but now we use it as precious time for Mel and

52

I to spend as a couple, which is really invaluable.

We’ve even managed to go to the cinema!

That may sound bizarre, but it’s something we simply hadn’t been able to do since Eva was born.’

It’s also given Eva’s brother, George, the chance to spend time with his parents. ‘It is inevitable that you end up spending the majority of your time looking after the more dependent child,’ Jason explains, ‘so during the school holidays I try to use our Chestnut Tree Nurse visits to spend some time with George, doing the kinds of things that aren’t that easy with Eva. ‘Chestnut Tree does a wonderful job, offering so many great services to so many families across Sussex. Eva has built a really strong relationship with Louise, our community nurse, and we know that the team can handle any situation that arises whilst she’s in their care.’

As for Eva, her future is looking bright. ‘She’s just strong enough to get into the kitchen cupboards now so it looks like we’re going to have to child-proof everything again. And she has her powered wheelchair now, so there really will be no stopping her!’

Chestnut Tree cares for 300 children and their families across Sussex and never charges for its care. It costs well over £3.5 million every year to offer these services and less than 7% of its funding comes from central government, meaning it relies heavily on the generosity of the local community.

‘We are so proud of Eva and George and will treasure this film forever. Please, please tell as many people as you can about it – like, share, tweet, retweet, comment – and help Chestnut Tree reach more children and families like us that need them. Thank you so much!’

You can see Eva’s film on www.chestnut-tree-house. org.uk/handsup, by liking Chestnut Tree House on Facebook, or by following @HandsUpToHelp.

Lewes Easter Monday

West Sussex Fun Run League, Toddler, One-Mile, Two-Mile and 10K Races Toddler’s Trot was two laps around the Lewes track, with a good turnout for the youngsters to get their first feel for a race. There were lots of parents/guardians also running with their children to see them around.

The One-Mile Juniors Race started on the track with two laps, with a detour out through the Priory School grounds and Ham Lane before returning to the track to finish. Molly Rudd was the only Strider to participate in this race in a great time of 8:24:10 (unofficial) following in her brother Josh Rudd’s footsteps, in good running form. Scott Hitchcock ran alongside Molly giving moral support but she was very strong and confident throughout, proving her potential for the future. She had a great race and enjoyed it.

The Two-Mile Juniors race followed a similar route to the One Mile but was double the distance and once again finished on the track. Edward Saunders was the only Strider to participate in the two-mile race but unfortunately had to drop out due to feeling unwell half way through the race. Up to that point he had been running well and again shows potential for the future.

The 10K race started on the running track then straight out onto the footpath onto Hams Lane before continuing on public footpaths for a mile, which were sheltered from the weather conditions. The course then changed onto private farmland, where there was a tremendous amount of head wind slowing every one of us down for a good few miles. The next part of the course was through the small village with a few small hills to tackle with good support from local people. Then it was onto very boggy fields, which left a nice amount of mud to take home with us. This was the toughest part of the course, as we had cross winds and a lot of mud to get through.

The last part of the course was to leave the fields onto footpaths heading back to the track for a 300-metre finish, where there was great support from spectators cheering everyone over the finish line. Joe Plant, aged 15, raced his first ever 10K race in a fantastic time of 52:21:00 (unofficial). He defiantly didn’t let his nerves get the better of him, with a strong and fast finish to his race, which left his family standing by proud and overwhelmed with their son’s great performance. Joe enjoyed his first 10K and he handled the conditions of the course brilliantly. Scott Hitchcock was the other strider to take part and finished in a time of 42:26:28 (unofficial) beating his last years’ time by 4 minutes. Scott provided the celebratory Easter Eggs!

Charlie Bear’s Nursery The recently opened Charlie Bear’s Nursery in Seaford has been keen to develop its outside space for the children to play and learn how things grow, so the nearby family-run garden centre Paradise Park stepped in to help.

Anita Ryciak, nursery manager explains, “Paradise Park was very generous in providing a wooden planter structure and soil so we were able to create our Mud Kitchen for the children. It will provide a great opportunity for them to have fun digging the soil and to learn how things grow when we plant some seeds later in the year.”

SEAFORD KURLERS

Hello to all Seaford Sceners

Sussex is looking as beautiful as ever in the great British Spring.

All the countryside is looking fresh faced and at its best. Are you all at your best and looking forward to voting in or out of the EU? Confusing isn’t it?

Take the stress out with a little activity and come and look at Seaford Kurlers in action. We will give you a new social circle and a new activity. It really is fun and will keep the aching limbs going.

Seaford Kurlers will once again be acting as referees for Seahaven Lionesses at their Annual Sports Tournament in May at the Downs Leisure Centre. It will be on Saturday 28th May, 2016 from 7.30pm. It has always been a really good evening and I am sure that this year’s will be great.

Seaford Kurlers are still welcoming a few new members who are making new friends. Most are surprised at finding that Wave Leisure has so much to offer apart from all the very strenuous physical activities for dedicated keep – fit people. So coming to see what New Age Kurling is all about has meant they have also found other new interests.

There is some very sad news for worldwide New Age Kurling members. John Bennett invented the sport after seeing the Scotties Ladies win a Gold Medal for Curling. He adapted the game so that people with disabilities could also play and not be disadvantaged.

Sadly his wife Margaret has died after battling cancer.

Many of the original Seaford Kurlers will have known Margaret when going to National competitions.

Condolences have been sent to John and his family.

Latest news for Seaford Kurlers

Due to a change in circumstances the Captain is now Ken Richardson First session pairing – this is now being done by Richard Coomber and John Price.

Seaford Tree Wardens Community Unites

Focus On: Whitebeams

This month we take a look at a striking variety of tree – the whitebeam.

Whitebeam (Sorbus aria lutescens)

to Make Cycling Safer

The whitebeam is a deciduous tree, native to the South of England. It has a distinctive appearance when in leaf, as it has thick green-grey oval shaped leaves that have an attractive silvery felted appearance on the underside.

Whitebeams produce clusters of small white flowers in the late spring. These flowers develop into rich red berries, which ripen in the late summer and autumn, and are favoured by birds.

Whitebeams are fairly rare in the wild, but are a good variety for planting, as they are relatively low maintenance and hardy, able to cope with exposure to windy conditions.

Swedish Whitebeam (Sorbus Intermedia)

The Swedish whitebeam is a non-native variety that has been naturalised in the UK. Its appearance is very similar to its native counterpart, although the topside of the leaves is a darker, glossier green than Sorbus aria lutescens. It also produces clusters of small white flowers and striking red berries. Sorbus Intermedia is also very undemanding species, tolerating windy, harsh conditions.

If you would like to get involved with the Seaford Tree Wardens, or just want to find out more about what we do, visit our website: www.seafordtreewardens.wordpress. com or our Facebook page: https:// www.facebook.com/Seaford-TreeWardens-402591039836438/

An estate agency in Seaford has worked together with a local cycling group, a safety training provider and a Sussex charity to provide first aid courses.

Newberry Tully in Church Street, sponsored the two-day training sessions held over the Easter weekend, which saw bike ride leaders from Cycle Seahaven equipped with potentially lifesaving first aid skills.

Sussex Wildlife Trust also donated the use of a venue at the Seven Sisters Visitor Centre for free and the training itself was provided at a discount by Seajay Training.

Stephen Newberry, of Newberry Tully, said: “We’re delighted to support such a worthwhile project. As a business we take our responsibility to the environment and our community very seriously.

“Cycling is a healthy pastime and doesn’t impact on the environment, and for us to be able to help is fantastic and fits in with what we are passionate about.”

Andrew Lock of Cycle Seahaven said, “Thanks to the support of Newberry Tully, Sussex Wildlife Trust and Seajay Training we have been able to heavily discount the course.

“This in turn means that more of our ride leaders will be confident and able to deliver even safer rides for our members, and be equipped to administer first aid whenever and wherever needed at other times.

“This is a great example of businesses working with charities and voluntary groups for the benefit of the community.”

The two-day course held over the Easter Weekend proved very popular and was fully booked.

Cod pieces in thyme with bacon and clams

by Julian O’Vegetables

Fish again! We’ll all be growing gills at this rate, but it’s a healthier option to red meat and gives me another chance to bang on about supporting our fishermen. This dish has three components that need to be ready at the same time, so multi-tasking is required. According to my wife, blokes don’t multi-task too well, so I asked her to do the spuds while I got on with the fish and the clams.

This is a Gordon Ramsey recipe, which I found on the Times website. It uses quite a few ingredients and different timings, but the result is delicious. Chunky white cod on a bed of creamy potato purée, with salty clams and bacon in a white wine sauce. What’s not to like?

Ingredients (serves 4)

4 cod fillets, about 180g each (get the fishmonger to cut them from the thick end); 200g smoked streaky bacon or pancetta, chopped; 2 large handfuls of thyme sprigs; 250ml dry white wine; 1kg fresh clams; Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; 1 kg floury potatoes, such as King Edward; 4 garlic cloves, blanched in boiling water for 2 minutes and peeled; 100ml milk; 4 tbsp double cream; 60g butter; Olive oil, for greasing and cooking; 4 knobs of butter.

Method

For the cod: Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4. Rub both sides of the cod fillets with salt and pepper and place in a lightly oiled roasting tin or baking dish, skin-side up.

Drizzle with olive oil and dot each fillet with a knob of butter. Scatter over half the thyme sprigs and bake for 15-20 minutes.

For the clams: Rinse the clams in several changes of water to wash out any grit that may be trapped inside their shells. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan, then add the bacon and thyme. Sauté for a few minutes until the bacon turns golden and releases its fat. Pour in the wine, along with a splash of water, and bring to the boil. Tip the clams into the pan, cover with a tightly fitting lid and increase the heat. Steam for 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan gently a couple of times, until the shells open.

Remove the lid and discard any shells that are still closed.

For the potato purée: Boil the potatoes in a pan until tender.

Drain well, then return to the pan to dry out for 1-2 minutes over a low heat. Pass them through a potato ricer back into the pan. Crush the garlic and mash in with the potatoes.

Gently heat with the milk and cream, stir in slowly and season well. Cook over a low heat for about 5 minutes, then gradually beat in the butter. Keep warm.

To serve, place a portion of the potato purée into the middle of four lipped plates and rest a cod fillet on top.

Spoon the bacon, clams and their cooking juices around and garnish with a few thyme sprigs.

Enjoy!

Vet Approved

Seaford Hard of Hearing Club The speaker at our April meeting was Alan Hodges, who told us about Pamlin print postcards.

They were the work of one man, Kenneth Carr.

The name Pamlin came from the name of his wife, Pamela, and son Colin. Kenneth Carr not only took all the photographs himself, but then made them into postcards which he duplicated. He did all this in a basement in Croydon from the 1940s into the 1980s. The cards were stored in cardboard boxes in the basement. Carr was certainly a hard worker.

The earliest photographs reflected his hobby interest in transport, but soon the business expanded, and later photographs showed local towns and villages before the business expanded far from Kent and Sussex. A postcard of Tonbridge with a flock of goats being driven along the High Street (almost no traffic in any of the pictures) reflects the quieter post-war period.

Postcards may not appeal to everyone but these black and white examples were full of charm. As usual Alan took a collection on behalf of the JPK Project which he supports.

There wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a meeting in May as the members are off to an Eastbourne hotel for afternoon tea. In June the speaker will be Paul Green from the Argus; details will be in the June edition of Seaford Scene. Jill Allen

Many people believe that a cat should be allowed to have kittens. But if you ask why, most won’t know. That’s because it’s an old wives’ tale – it’s not true.

Until you’ve had her spayed, your cat will want to go outside and mate. But it isn’t because she wants to have babies. It’s just her hormones making her feel that way and she doesn’t know that it will lead to her becoming a mum.

If she has kittens, you’ll have to buy more cat food, pay their vet bills and find them new homes. While she is looking after kittens, she won’t be able to do all the things she loves. Going outside, climbing trees and jumping up high!

76

Give her the freedom to enjoy all this – have her spayed.

What do you most enjoy about your job? Playing a beautiful piano live, with great musicians, to an appreciative crowd, not least in Seaford at www.SplashPointJazz.Club!

What do you like best about Seaford?

Location, location, location, the sea, peace and people :-) What are your hobbies and interests?

I LOVE sea-swimming; cycling; but both only fairly.

What is your favourite film? The Life Of Brian. Sums up all the ills of our flawed species perfectly.

What book are you reading at the moment? About six unfinished ones eg Effortless Mastery by Kenny Werner (funny how I’ve never got to the end!).

What is your favourite piece of music? Probably the Ella/Louis version of Let’s Do It, with Oscar P on piano.

What is your idea of perfect happiness? Perhaps surprisingly, family Xmas can come close (25 of us last year).

What makes you sad? The greed, selfishness and violence that we as humans are capable of.

How do you relax? A swim in the sea is no.1, or a meal with good friends – most of whom just take the proverbial out of me.

Which living person do you most admire? Wynton Marsalis.

The only person to win a Grammy in both jazz and classical, and being a fearless advocate for the relevance and benefit of improvised music (jazz) in education.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

Blimey, how long have you got? Probably, being late back to the dock for a ship I was playing on... Yes, too late!

Where is your favourite place to go in Seaford and why? Splash Point (my favourite place on earth) for the view; Pomegranate for the world’s best veggie breakfast; Frankie’s Kiosk for the best coffee, philosophy and company! :-) What is the first line of your favourite poem?

I sing of arms and, the man... (The Aeneid).

What is your greatest fear? Running out of time.

How would you spend a million pounds? Half to help family/ friends; invest half (ethically) to try and keep it going!

What is your most memorable learning experience?

Playing in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The resilience of the human spirit, and the importance of music as a lifeline for it.

What words or phrases do you most overuse?

Apparently, ‘F**k it, let’s do it anyway’, or ‘I’ll just...’

What keeps you awake at night? The foxes at it in the garden!

And, thinking about playing with my band at Ronnie Scott’s on Sunday 5th June – that’s my big gig of the year.

I’d love to see loads of Seafordians there!

What is your greatest extravagance? My grand piano...

Or, running a jazz record label!

Which person in history would you most like to meet?

Mozart or Oscar Peterson.

What is the best advice you have ever been given? A ship never leaves a harbour without knowing where it’s headed...

What would your motto be? Try and choose to feed the good wolf, and that love – in its broadest form i.e. for planet, people, environment, animals – really is all that matters.

What or who is the greatest love in your life? That’d be my little family! (I’m not allowed to say my 1966 Ludwig Classic snare drum).

Anything else you may like to include? What a great service and consistently high quality Seaford Scene provides!

Family business brings a taste of South America to Seaford A Seaford family business is bringing a taste of South America to the town by opening a new coffee shop which is also supporting local suppliers.

Sarah and Nimeir Baca’s venture opened its doors in Dane Road on Tuesday March 8th and is aiming to add something different to Seaford’s thriving food and drinks scene. Sarah, who grew up in Seaford, said: “Nimeir worked here when it was called Sea Salt. When the chance came to buy the place from the previous owner Ross, we jumped at it.

“We’ll be opening at 7am to serve thirsty commuters as we’re just around the corner from the station. We’ve also listened to people who have said they wanted local coffee shops to stay open until 5pm and that’s exactly what we’ll be doing.

“We are selling some of the finest single origin coffees from across the globe including Columbia, Guatemala and Ethiopia. We’ll also be selling award winning teas from the Bluebird Tea Company in Brighton.

Sarah added: “Our cakes are baked in Seaford by a superb baker called Beth Funnell. Our coffee beans are roasted in Horsham, our bread is baked daily in Brighton and as much produce as possible is sourced from local farms. We like to think not only does our food and drink taste great, it also does a little bit of good along the way.”

Nimeir added: “It’s been nerve wracking getting the bar ready for the opening and at times it’s been pretty stressful as there’s always an element of risk in any new business.

“However, it’s also really exciting and we are passionate about what we do. We have received some great feedback and lots of local support from people already.”

Singles club celebrates 10 years A Sussex club for unattached men and women is celebrating its tenth birthday.

Back in 2006, The Group, a new club for unattached men and women, opened in Haywards Heath.

Later a venue was found in Brighton, followed by venues in Horsham and Lewes. Now ten years later, and with 400 members, The Group is planning to celebrate its tenth birthday with a function in Brighton.

Says Tricia Bentley, co-founder of The Group, “Our members tend to be aged 50+ but we don’t have rigid age limits. Those who come along to a club night and join The Group receive an emailed diary twice a month and then they select the events they want to attend.

“They can choose to go walking, go to the theatre, play golf, eat out or come with us on holiday. We’re very proud that unattached people have new partners in their lives, having met through The Group, and that gives us real pleasure but that is not what The Group is for.

80

It isn’t a dating agency. It’s an opportunity to meet new friends.”

The Group meets in Lewes on the first Tuesday, Burgess Hill on the 2nd Monday, Brighton on the third Tuesday, and Horsham on the fourth Monday evening of every month and more details can be obtained from The Group’s website www.thegroup.org.uk

The Great Outdoors can have a Big Impact on your Property’s Value Spring has indeed sprung. The days are longer, the evenings much lighter and people are starting to venture outside again.

Put simply, most people love being in the fresh air when the better weather arrives. We are also lucky in Seaford as we’ve the beach, South Downs and a great town to enjoy.

When spring takes centre stage, people tend to feel happier and serious buyers get out and about in droves. However, some people who prepare their home for sale fail to ensure their garden looks as attractive as possible. We have many prospective buyers who give us their property wish list. A garden is very often on those lists.

In some cases people are even more specific and state their new home MUST have a south or west facing garden so they can soak up the most hours of sunshine. A good garden can be a huge plus point for buyers, especially those with young children or planning a family.

You don’t have to have the green fingers of an Alan Titchmarsh or Monty Don to make it more appealing. At the very least you should make sure it is tidy, clutter free and colourful if possible.

No one in the history of selling homes has asked an agent for a property with an untidy, overgrown garden. A trip to the local garden centre can provide a lot of ideas about how you can breathe new life into your garden.

There are also hundreds of websites out there, including Pinterest and Facebook, which are full of ideas to enhance your garden regardless of your budget or level of expertise.

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.

THE PROBUS CLUB OF SEAFORD The Probus Club of Seaford is part of a national organisation which provides social contacts for retired professional and business men (hence PROBUS). However, each club is autonomous and runs in its own way.

The Seaford club meets on the second Tuesday of every month at Seaford Golf Club, Firle Road. Members have the opportunity of a pre-lunch drink and chat in pleasant surroundings, followed by a two-course meal after which there is a speaker chosen to cover a range of widespread and interesting subjects. Most speakers come from outside organisations, but we do encourage our own members to tell us about their own careers or interesting hobbies.

The members come from a wide range of previous occupations, including business managers, chartered engineers, schoolmasters, bank managers, local government officers, ships masters, civil servants, police officers, university lecturers etc.

Craftstone of Sussex

The monthly meetings give members a break from domestic affairs (much welcomed by some of their wives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so we understand). In fact, the wives and partners of the members are not neglected.

They are welcomed at a regular coffee morning on the last Friday of every month at the Seaford Head Golf Club. In addition, special lunches for members and their partners are held each spring and Christmas time at the Hydro Hotel in Eastbourne, and these are well attended.

Every year the club runs a five-day coach holiday, again for members and their partners. Venues are chosen in England in areas of particular interest and visits included to particular attractions in the locality. In addition, a couple of day trips by coach are arranged each year to more local venues of interest. Current plans are for members and their partners to visit the House of Commons and the Chelsea Hospital.

The Probus Club of Seaford would welcome enquiries from any retired gentlemen who enjoy meeting others with similar background and interests and might like to consider joining the club. They would be welcome initially to attend lunches as a guest to see what the club has to offer.

If interested, please phone the Hon. Secretary on 01323 899300. Arrangements could then be made for you to attend one of our lunches at a convenient date.

Have you ‘herd’ why people are flocking to Newhaven Fort?

Visitors to Newhaven Fort this Spring have been greeted by some new woolly recruits to the staff team – a small flock of Herdwick Sheep!

The human staff at the Fort have been battling the scrubby undergrowth on the ramparts with strimmers and mowers for the past few years and decided that it was time to adopt a more natural approach to the problem. Enter Sussex Wildlife Trust. Sussex Wildlife Trust grazes many of its 32 nature reserves with its own cattle and sheep because they help to maintain optimal habitat for the many rare plants and invertebrates found on these special sites, and so the management at the Fort approached them to see if they could help.

And help they did! James Power, Head of Land Management for Sussex Wildlife Trust said, ‘grazing by sheep is essential if the good condition of our reserves

is to be maintained and we have found that Herdwick sheep are ideally suited to this work.

This breed is particularly good at helping to control scrubby species such as Bramble that can encroach on to grassy banks at the expense of wildflowers and rare invertebrates. And this is why we recommended them to Wave Leisure when we were asked to help out.’

The Fort is now home to four of Sussex Wildlife Trust’s Herdwick flock, who have made a great start in their new occupation. Kath Dudley, Visitor Services Officer at Newhaven Fort said, ‘the sheep have made a noticeable difference to the areas they have been grazing so far and the response from our visitors has been fantastic.

They’re a lot quieter than strimmers too!’ The sheep will remain at the Fort throughout the year and will be moved around the site to make sure that all areas benefit from their presence.

Cannes Film Festival

The prestigious Cannes Film Festival returns this year for the 69th time. Films of all genres are screened between May 11th – 22nd as the population of the city swells from around 80,000 to 200,000 across the two week period.

But it hasn’t always been the lavish affair it is today.

A man by the name of Jean Zay had the idea for the festival in 1939, however due to the imminent threat of World War ll, the opening year was delayed until 1946 and its revival used as a way of encouraging tourism again in the French Riviera.

In 1948 and 1950 the event was cancelled due to a lack of funding and twenty years later, in 1968, the festival closed its gates once more, mid-way through due to student and worker-uprisings.

Nowadays the festival is believed to have a budget of €20 million with 850 staff employed to cover the occasion. Although most of the festival has a strict access policy, and you won’t get to walk down the iconic red carpet (which, incidentally, is changed three times a day!), as a regular tourist you can buy tickets to a number of screenings including the ‘Director’s Fortnight Section’ and can access several free screenings, some of which have Q & A’s with up-and-coming directors.

NODA Lifetime Achievement Award

Seaford Musical Theatre held a celebration event on 12th March to recognise several members with National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA) awards.

The Barn Theatre was full of excited members of Seaford Musical Theatre looking forward to their annual awards evening. They were supported by many friends and family who have encouraged them through the past year. Awards were given not only for those who perform on stage, but also the many long standing supporters who provide refreshments, build sets, take money, sell tickets and crucially ensure the stage is lit correctly.

One member of Seaford Musical Theatre, who is a volunteer performer at Rotary events, is Mr Graham Tubb. Graham has had a long career in the arts, starting as one of the original Junior members of the Seaford Operatic Society as a young lad. Graham belonged to many societies and dance schools performing with Jean Cantell in Newhaven, Eastbourne and Bexhill.

At the end of the award presentations, Judy and Steve joined the Seaford Musical Theatre President on stage, and he invited Graham to join them to celebrate his lifetime in show business.

Shocked is not the word, but as a true professional Graham took it all in his stride.

Judy recounted some memories of their friendship and then presented the National Operatic and Dramatic Association Lifetime Achievement Diamond and Gold Bar, sponsored by Seaford Rotary Club.

Steve recounted Graham’s stalwart performances in army fatigues at the Rotary Xmas party, and how well it was received by the audience. He then presented the mounted certificate for 60 years’ service to the Arts.

Graham, very moved at first, showed he is a true professional by giving a witty and moving thank you.

In 1963 Graham turned professional, starring in ‘Wedding in Paris’ in Croydon before going into the West End for his favourite show ‘Guys and Dolls’. He Performed in London and Paris, but when resting he was well known as a shop window dresser, including for Mary Quant in the Kings Road.

He was eligible for the highest award, the Diamond Bar, for over 60 years’ service to the Arts. Graham was completely unaware that he was to receive an award and was a little surprised to see Steven Willox of Seaford Rotary arrive. He has known him, however for many years as he has delighted Rotary with his tap dancing at Rotary Christmas events. Steven’s presence as a Rotary representative therefore did not raise any suspicions.

Graham was more surprised when Judy Cornwell, best known for playing Hyacinth Bucket’s sister, Daisy, in Keeping Up Appearances arrived. Graham and Judy were childhood friends, both spending their childhoods in Seaford, and at a tender age both performed in Seaford. His father was a friend of Gracie Fields, and therefore it was almost inevitable that he would end up in show business.

Rotary Club of Seaford

Seaford Young Musician of the Year 2016 The fifth annual Seaford Young Musician of the Year competition was held on Saturday 12th March. The competition gives youngsters between 11 and 17 the experience of appearing before and showcasing their musical talent to an audience.

Sixteen finalists performed songs from West End musicals and films, jazz, classical pieces and well-known contemporary tunes to compete for the Colin Seymour Memorial Shield. At the end of the competition, while the judges were conferring, the three previous winners of the completion, Matt Flood (2015), Bethany Geoghegan (2014) and Hambel Goodchild (2013) entertained the audience.

Seaford Rotary Club President, Peter Fenwick, thanked the judges and congratulated all the competitors on their performances, and for providing some excellent entertainment. Pat White said that judges had found that the standard of performance both overall and individually had risen from previous years, and all competitors were congratulated on their performance.

All competitors received a certificate from Rotary President Peter Fenwick, and prizes were presented to the winners by Dave Argent, Mayor of Seaford.

The prize for best instrumentalist was awarded to Kira Geoghegan for her performance of Allegro by J. H. Flocco. Kira Geoghegan was also one of The Bluegrass Sisters, a duo who played some traditional American Bluegrass on their violins and who were awarded the prize for best ensemble.

The prize for best vocalist was awarded to Charli Finch for his performance of The Wizard and I from the musical Wicked. The Colin Seymour Memorial Shield

108

shield for best overall performance was presented to Kira Geoghegan, and she will represent Seaford in the Rotary District finals next year.

Young photographers 2016 Judging for Seaford Rotary Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second Young Photographer competition has been completed.

The number of entries received doubled from the initial competition. The aims of the competition is to encourage young people to experiment with photography using digital or traditional methods to show interpretation and expression of their ideas.

Entries were received from competitors in the age categories 11 to 13 and 14 to 17. Competitors were required to submit a portfolio of three photographs based on the theme Our World is Beautiful, and the range of interpretations of this topic gave the independent judge a difficult task.

Winner of the eleven to thirteen age group was Arron Ruffell, from Northease Manor School.

Seaford Head student Joel Tucker took first place in the upper age group.

On 11th March, President Peter Fenwick accompanied

by Jim Anderson, chair of the Rotary Youth Committee, was invited to Northease Manor School to present Arron Ruffell with his prize and certificate at a special school assembly at which the children and staff wore fancy dress to celebrate World book week. The winners now go forward to the Rotary District competition.

Young Writers 2016 This year Seaford Rotary Club inaugurated the Seaford Young Writers Competition for youngsters at Primary School level.

The competition was open to pupils from primary schools in the Seaford area and entries were received from Seaford, Cradle Hill, Alfriston and Annecy Primary

West Sussex, Surrey, Middlesex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and parts of Hampshire, Buckinghamshire and Greater London, and again won the runner-up prize.

Seaford Rotary Club of Young Musician of the Year has never become a Regional Finalist before and the Club is delighted to have sponsored Matt in these Young Musician competitions, and wish him every success in the future.

Schools. Entrants were asked to write a fiction or nonfiction story or a poem of up to five hundred words entitled Our World is Beautiful.

Each of the four schools submitted three entries. Judges were Mrs Juliet Smith, the High Sheriff of East Sussex and a former teacher of English, Giles Paley-Philips, the local author of books for children, and Paul Johnson, Head of English at Seaford Head School. All the judges commented that the high standard of the entries made it difficult to select the winners.

At a presentation evening at Seaford Head School on 29th February, pupils and teachers from the four schools along with their parents joined the judges, the Mayor and Mayoress of Seaford, David and Mrs Argent, Mrs Helen Key, Acting Head Teacher of Seaford Head School, and Bill Pierce, Seaford Rotary Club Vice President to hear the results announced.

First prize was won by Jessica Coupland from Alfriston Primary School, which also received a cheque for £100 as the school attended by the winner of the first prize.

Thanking all who had attended, Jim Anderson, Chair of Seaford Rotary Club Youth Committee, said the competition was one of the ways in which the Club supported our young people and hoped that all the schools would take part in next year’s competition.

Rotary District and Regional Young Musician Final Matt Flood, the 2015 winner of the Rotary Club of Seaford’s Young Musician of the Year, competed against young musicians from Sussex, Surrey and part of Greater London in the District Young Musician Final held on Saturday 27th February.

Matt, 15, who lives in Newhaven and attends Seaford Head School was runner up in the competition, and qualified to represent Seaford Rotary Club in the RIBI Regional Final on Sunday 20th March 2016.

In the Rotary Regional Young Musician Final Matt who played Rock Steady, Brazil Overture and Frantic on his drums competed against young musicians Kent, East and

Charity Quiz Night Seaford Rotary Club held its annual Charity Quiz night on Friday 1st April. The 13 teams battling for the trophy enjoyed a competitive but friendly and amusing evening. The Quiz Mistress, Michele Roper, steered the teams through 8 rounds of 10 questions supported by a team of scorers and helpers. After three rounds the scores were very close with no clear leader.

The interval followed and the teams sat down to a bangers and mash supper cooked by a team from Inner Wheel led by Jan Jemmett. Replete from the superb refreshment, the teams continued the quiz with renewed enthusiasm and humour.

The result was very close. The Welly Wanderers won the trophy but by only 2 points from the Outlaws, the 2015 winners. The Invincibles, a team from Seaford Rotary Club and Seaford Inner Wheel were third. Peter Fenwick, Seaford Rotary Club President, presented the winning team with their trophy and a bottle of wine to each team member.

Going into the last round, the Dragons appeared to be going to take the honour of the wooden spoon but they managed to climb off the bottom rung to the dismay of the Trumps. Finishing last does not, however go unrewarded. The Trumps were presented with a bottle of water each.

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN & SEAFORD LIONS CLUB Now I have returned from visiting my daughter down under I am again getting into the swing of things. While we were on the other side of the world we were able to visit a Lions Club in Australia, The Wattle Grove Lions Club, in a suburb of Sydney. They are a lot more relaxed than us and Lions seem to be flourishing, there being numerous clubs within a few miles of our daughter. We enjoyed a very pleasant evening at the President’s house as they were having the traditional Aussie Barbie!

SEAHAVEN STOREHOUSE ANOTHER COLLECTION POINT PUT IN PLACE

Seahaven Storehouse, the Seaford charity that feeds those in food crisis, received a boost recently when a team from The Halifax offered to come and work with them for a day. The event was organised by Claire Keith, who works at the Eastbourne branch of The Halifax.

Claire had already been supporting the Storehouse, and when The Halifax rolled out the idea of a ‘Day to Make a Difference’, where each branch could choose which charity they helped, it seemed only natural that Claire would suggest the Storehouse. Fellow members of the Eastbourne branch were quick to take up the challenge, and relished the idea of coming along to the Storehouse on the Thursday morning and getting involved in all aspects of running the work. On the day, Claire brought with her colleagues, Samantha Whitcombe, Jason Harris and Grace Thomas, who quickly got stuck into the jobs. Some weighed out the food, others stocked the shelves, while still others packed up the food boxes or went out on deliveries; and Claire herself also helped in the kitchen. They all found it fascinating to see how the operation worked.

Claire had also obtained sponsorship from Burt’s Bakery in Seaford, who kindly supplied a very generous variety of baked goods for lunch, which was enjoyed by both clients and helpers alike.

On behalf of The Halifax team, Claire said: ‘We’ve all had a great time volunteering at Seahaven Storehouse.

Dawn and the team do so much to help those in need in the community and it has been lovely to be able to be a part of that for a day.’ Those at the Storehouse, too, thoroughly enjoyed working with the team.

Cllr Mark Brown, who has supported the Storehouse since its inception in 2013, recently negotiated with the Manager of the new Co-operative in Princess Drive in Seaford, that the Storehouse could install a new collection bin in the retail outlet. Co-op Manager Mr Bart Coetzee, together with Community Pioneer Mel

Marten, was so enthusiastic about the idea that he kindly started off the collection with a generous donation of food from the shop.

Thanks go to Cllr Brown for all his help with this, and for being involved in giving out leaflets and talking to customers on the day the bin was installed.

So customers of the recently-opened store will now be able to donate tinned, packeted and bottled goods in the bin provided whenever they are able to spare a little extra from their shopping. The bin will be emptied weekly in time for the Thursday morning opening of the Storehouse, when the food is packed up and distributed.

For further information about the Storehouse, or to find out what donations are needed, please contact Dawn Woodgate on 07921 844930 or e-mail: seahavenstorehouse@gmail.com Photo: The Halifax Team: l to r Samantha Whitcombe, Jason Harris and Claire Keith.

The Search

Just before six o’clock, one morning not so long ago, I heard a dragging sound and then a loud clatter and unfamiliar thumping. I leapt out of bed and sprinted to my back window. There he was, Sammy, hauling a flowerpot out on the terrace, having used his beak to tip it – and at the same time releasing my ancient ceramic garden ornaments, round and perfect for rolling, to spin around crazily on the sloping surface of the terrace.

He was poking his beak into the flailing pot.

‘Bog off ’, I shouted. ‘Get away!’

We all knew Sammy along our terrace, with his distinctive stubby tail and lone orange spot on his beak.

He sat on the railings, staring into each of our homes in turn. We understood not to feed him.

I yelled: ‘There’s nothing there, Sammy!’

Sammy stood defiantly. It was only when I pretended to throw a cardigan at him – flapping it hysterically in his direction – that he took refuge on the rusting railings.

I approached him with the cardigan, almost within touching distance, and he hopped a few yards away, teetering... almost losing his foothold on the corroded metal, fluttering to keep his balance.

Sammy visited me erratically, always rooting around in the same spot, even though I regularly juggled around my collection of salt-sprayed dying plants, ceramic and terracotta pots, and those cracked, seen-betterdays rolling balls.

Soon I could see a pattern emerging. On a hot day he’d stay away, doing what other seagulls do down by the sea. And on cold, wet and windy days he wouldn’t be seen – I reasoned it’d be too much energy for him to expend; not worth his while.

I dreaded an early visitation from him again.

Reports came in that he’d been a-tapping on the glass of my back door – loudly. Rat-tat-tat-tat! I’d witnessed it myself too, with no idea of why he was doing it. Maybe he felt he could come through the glass, or was it a brusque reminder for me that he was around and was hungry?

This morning he arrived at 8.20. I heard the clunk of an overturned pot. I gulped back the last of the coffee in my cup and flew to the window. There he was, underneath – well past the dried poppy stems now shrivelled by the summer heat and salt wind. He didn’t see me at first... he was busy jabbing his beak into something towards the back of my assortment of garden paraphernalia. I could see he’d found something.

I’d taken him by surprise. He quivered when he spotted me at the open window, and struggled to get back to the safety of the eaten-away railings. His eyes were goggly, his beak was dripping.

Outside, I pushed past the decaying poppy foliage, beyond the lone fairly decent potted pink geranium, to find a half-concealed small but deep pot that had collected rainwater; or had benefitted from the haphazard waterings I’d made with my large plastic watering can sometime recently. Sammy’s foraging had caused water to speckle the brickwork behind, and some splashes were apparent nearby.

He’d been searching and, clearly, he found what he’d probably wanted all along.

Sammy eyed me from the railings. He cackled softly and carefully folded his wings, smugly I thought.

Claremont Interiors

Create Your Perfect Home

Claremont Interiors family business began in 1984, when Malcolm Webb decided to set up MW Kitchens in response to interior design horror stories he had heard about from friends. Malcolm knew there was a demand for high quality hand-produced kitchens and bedrooms and since then, he has never looked back.

Malcolm is a carpenter and joiner by trade, and he and his wife and partner Bianca started MW Kitchens over 30 years ago in a small barn in Horsham. Malcolm’s reputation for designing and creating tailor-made kitchens and bedrooms, and his fine craftsmanship, reliability and consistent standard of work soon became well known.

Because Malcolm could offer a complete refurbishment, and as there was no middle-man, MW Kitchens could give the customer exactly what they wanted, keeping the cost at a reasonable and affordable rate.

In 1991 Malcolm and Bianca moved the business to Claremont Road, Seaford, and changed the name to Claremont Interiors. The business grew and their two sons Kieran and Kiefer, both fully qualified carpenters, joined the family business.

Both Kieran and Kiefer have the same enthusiasm and professional attitude that their father has and Malcolm has taught them a lot, in particular the real meaning of perfectionism when it comes to fitting and finishing kitchens, bedrooms and offices.

With a bigger team, Claremont Interiors could take on more customers and as the demand increased, and customers kept coming back, in August 2015, they decided to move to even larger premises.

Their new shop on Claremont Road is in an excellent location for passing trade – just off the A259 as you drive east into Seaford – with free parking right on the doorstep. The showroom is bigger and brighter, with a wide range of products for customer to see, from fitted kitchens to over 500 different door designs and samples of work surfaces, including laminates and solid wood Hi-Mac, Corian, granite and quartz. They are the only

officially trained solid surface installer and supplier of antibacterial solid worktops in the area – all at a fraction of the cost of other big stores. The showroom is very inviting, and Bianca and the staff are there to help you and offer advice.

They’re a very friendly team!

Since moving, the family business can now also design and fit bathrooms, and their portfolio also includes mobility assisted kitchens and bedrooms, at no extra charge.

Bianca explained, “Our family business now has an enthusiastic and conscientious team of 13, and we can offer a complete refurbishment, starting from initial design ideas to the end product, including plumbing, plastering, painting, flooring, the lot. The only thing we don’t do is provide the meals!

“We do our upmost to accommodate their requirements, allowing for extra time if necessary and we always give the customer the finish they want and expect.”

Every job has Bianca’s and the team’s full attention. Bianca meets the customer from the start and manages the job to the finish.

“It’s important that the customers feel happy and confident with our service and that they trust the team who will be working in their homes.”

If you are looking for your dream kitchen, bedroom or bathroom, why not pop along to Claremont Interiors’ showroom where you can meet Bianca and the team who can help to make your kitchen, bedroom or bathroom dreams come true!
