Your Invitation to the Seahaven Community Flood Fair Following the highly successful community engagement evening on the Seahaven Flood Plan in January, the Seahaven Community Flood Fair is being held on Saturday 23rd April between 10am and 4pm at the Seaford Head School, Steyne Road, Seaford.

The Flood Fair, organised by Seaford and Newhaven Town Councils in partnership with East Sussex County Council and Lewes District Council, will provide information and practical advice to residents at risk of flooding in Newhaven and Seaford, and the surrounding areas, but is open to all who may be directly or indirectly affected by flooding or would like to find out how they could help if flooding occurs.

Visitors will be able to learn more about the flood risk from the Environment Agency, together with ways they can protect themselves and their property. Find out about the Seahaven Flood Plan from Lewes DC, and how local authorities and emergency services respond to the threat of flooding, and the important role that voluntary and community organisations play.

A highlight of the Fair will be the presence of the National Flood Forum who will be providing advice on many flood related matters including resilience, resistance and recovery. They can also offer advice on flood insurance and the new Flood Re scheme for homeowners as well as demonstrating flood protection measures.

December was one of the wettest months on record in the UK and the importance of flood defences, practical action plans, and building community resilience through such measures as the formation of local community flood action groups has never been more important.

Cllr Sam Adeniji from Seaford Town Council said, “There have been incidences of flooding in Seaford over the past months and through this Fair we want to reassure people that the council is doing all it can, together with its partners, to ensure that there is effective planning for the flooding threat, but also to encourage householders at risk to look at ways they can improve their own

6

resilience and be prepared. We recognise that flooding will not just affect those flooded, but also the wider community, so the full support of the community will go a long way to ensuring a faster and more effective recovery for those flooded and the town as a whole.”

Councillor Steve Saunders Mayor of Newhaven said: “Our residents on both sides of the river have had to deal with the impacts of flooding in recent years, so I would urge them, and all who have an interest in flooding matters, to come along to find out more about how to be prepared and protect themselves during times of flooding. I am particularly delighted to welcome the National Flood Forum at the Seahaven Community Flood Fair. They will be able to provide much valued advice to our residents at risk and to exhibit the latest in flood protection equipment.”

The National Flood Forum is a national charity dedicated to supporting and representing communities and individuals at risk of flooding. It helps people to prepare for flooding, helps them to recover their lives if they have been flooded, and provides advice and support on all flood risk issues. It works to ensure that flood risk issues are understood and addressed

by Government, its agencies and other national organisations, to ensure that they develop a community perspective.

this celebrated composer yet keeps the emphasis on the performance – and interpretation – of his music.

local director launches new film season

After the screening, Phil will take part in a Q+A, where audience members will have the chance to chat to the director about his work.

This month is the launch of Seaford Community Cinema’s spring season and to kick things off we have Brighton based director Phil Grabsky introducing his film In Search of Beethoven.

This is a compelling and comprehensive documentary, narrated by Juliet Stevenson, which brings together the world’s leading performers and experts on Beethoven.

Using historical research along with Beethoven’s biography and letters, the film reveals new insights into

The rest of the season is equally exciting, with a diverse mix of films including award nominees and winners: Carol (photo left), starring Cate Blanchett, about the unexpected love affair between two women, Alan Bennett’s hilarious, The Lady in the Van (photo top) with Maggie Smith, politically charged Selma following Martin Luther King, Jr on his campaign for equal voting rights and the touching historical drama about Irish immigrants in Brooklyn.

SEAFORD CHORAL SOCIETY SPRING CONCERT Mozart returns to Seaford on Saturday 30th April 2016 at 7.30pm at St Leonard’s Church, Seaford.

Mozart ‘Mass in C Minor’ Great Mass in C Minor, K 427’ is the common name of the last setting of the mass by Mozart (not counting his ‘Requiem Mass’ left unfinished at his death). He composed it in Vienna in 1782 and 1783, when he was no longer a church musician of the Salzburg Cathedral, having been dismissed by the Archbishop of Salzburg after many disagreements.

It is scored for two sopranos, a tenor and a bass, double chorus and orchestra. However, the work is incomplete, missing large portions of the Credo and all of the

Seaford Afternoon Flower Club Our AGM and presentation afternoon took place on 17th March. Awards were handed out and a cheque was presented to Headway, last year’s nominated charity. This was followed by a demonstration and tuition on leaf manipulation, which was interesting, entertaining and informative. It was an opportunity to try a new skill and admire the results.

Agnus Dei. There remains a great deal of speculation concerning why the work was left unfinished, but it is one of the most glorious large scale settings of the words of the Mass from any composer.

Vaughan Williams ‘Benedicite’ The ‘Benedecite’, was composed

by Vaughan Williams in 1929 and it is one of three works especially composed and dedicated to the then ‘Leith Hill Musical Composition’ (now the Leith Hill Musical Festival) and first performed at the Drill Hall, Dorking at the 1930 Festival, conducted by the composer. Benedicite is a fairly short piece. “It combines lusty choral jubilation with a gentler hymn for soprano in pastoral style and rather harsh, unrelenting orchestration” – so wrote Vaughan Williams’ biographer Michael Kennedy in 1964.

Anna Tabor will conduct the choir and Southern Chamber Orchestra, together with a group of high calibre guest soloists. This should prove to be an evening of uplifting and wonderful music – an event not to be missed.

There will be a retiring collection on behalf of The Autistic Society.

Tickets are £12, children 16 and under £6, to include programme and can be obtained from our supporters Newberry Tully Estate Agents in Church Street, Seaford in early April. Also from Choir members, or at the door.

For further information visit our website www.seafordchoral-society.com To contact us, please email info@ seaford-choral-society.com or telephone 01323 891307 Images l-r: Painting of Mozart, 1783, aged 27; Vaughan Williams courtesy of the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust.

This month’s meeting is on Thursday 21st April, the first of our 2016-2017 programme, is a demonstration by Linda Brayne entitled “New Beginnings”. This promises to be inspiring and stimulating.

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

Old Bishopstone Beach

Catching a bus usually involves waiting, which is an opportunity to look around. One of our favourite stops is opposite the bottom of Bishopstone Road on the A259 going to Newhaven and Brighton. Back in the last century, whilst waiting for a bus, we watched a pipeline being dug along the edge of the fields next to the stop, alongside the busy

road. In the hole, you could see metres of grey Ouse mud sitting on a bevelled surface of pristine White Chalk a smidge below sea level (photo left). On the spoil heap left by the diggers were rain-washed blocks of chalk covered in piddock borings, clumps of barnacles, limpet scars, and even the tiny borings of the bristle worm Polydora.

Today, if you look carefully, you can find these animals living below the cliffs under Seaford Head or Short Cliff on the chalky platform when the tide goes out. The bus stop was clearly sited above an old beach. There was no sign of human activity in the bottom of the hole, so the find was probably rather old, but no idea how. old. By a stroke of luck, Oxford University had just installed a new radiocarbon machine called the Oxford Accelerator and wanted unusual samples to help calibrate it. With the offer of free dates, we promptly

12

sent off some of the old barnacles and piddocks. Eventually, a date came back – they were over two thousand years old. The beach dated from the Iron Age, Celtic times, like the Ancient British settlements on Rookery Hill and Seaford Head not far away.

The Southern Water pipeline was soon covered over, but you can still see the old cliff line from the bus stop. It’s landscaped on the opposite side of the A259 under Bishopstone Estate, with a lower bit under the lower end of Bishopstone Road. But the best, unspoilt stretch is along the bottom of Hawth Hill, gently dipping towards Bishopstone Village, and covered with old sheep runs or lynchettes. The power of the ancient waves clearly weakened inland, and the A259 actually crosses the mouth of an ancient Celtic cove between our bus stop and the road cutting to Valley Dip. Can you see anything interesting from your favourite bus stop?

Test your Iron Age knowledge: what is the coin with an abstract horse from the Martello museum collection – photo right?

Answer on page 44 Ed and Biddy Jarzembowski Photos by Ed Jarzembowski with help of Fred Clouter; thanks to Richard Pindar and Rodney Castleden for photo of the mystery coin. From top to bottom: Polydora borings, 20p coin for scale; the bus stop; Southern Water pipeline; Celtic cliff, Hawth Hill; piddock borings, 1p coin for scale; barnacle plates; 4 limpet scars, 20p coin for scale; the mystery coin.

Film Director Comes to Seaford for Screening of How to Change the World Jerry Rothwell is an award winning documentary film maker who is coming to Seaford on 9th April 2016 for the screening of his film – How to change the world. The film is about the early days of what became the environmental organisation, Greenpeace.

In 1971, a group of friends sailed into a nuclear test zone and their protest captured the world’s imagination, giving birth to Greenpeace and defining the modern green movement.

These pioneers captured their activist adventures on 16mm film. From this vivid archive and sly narration by Robert Hunter, an early guiding force of the organisation, Jerry Rothwell has created a thrilling, sometimes terrifying film. When youthful energy comes up against the complexities of a growing organisation, and idealism meets compromise, the group find their battle to save the planet forces them also to fight each other. This insightful film is also a vibrant, moving reflection on the struggle to balance the political and the personal.

Lindy Dunbar ‘Drawings and Paintings’

Birley Centre, Carlisle Road, Eastbourne BN21 4EF 25th March – 24th April. 10am – 4pm (weekends only) also Good Friday & Easter Monday Free admission Seaford artist and life-drawing tutor, Lindy Dunbar, has enjoyed a long and successful collaboration with the Birley Centre, but ‘Drawings and Paintings’ is her first solo exhibition here and will showcase the versatility, depth and excitement of her art to the full.

Lindy was first appointed artist in residence in 2012 for the Rambert Dance Company, tasked with drawing the dancers in rehearsal during their annual choreography workshops at the Birley. Armed with sketchbook, pastels, charcoal and graphite pencils, she captured every nuance of their feet and body movements with astonishing accuracy, beauty and dynamism. “It wasn’t

NOW OPEN

easy,” admits Lindy, “but I find the challenge of drawing the moving figure and its beautiful shapes endlessly fascinating.

And to be involved with Rambert’s creative process, as I was last year with their exciting and colourful production of Rooster, is an absolute privilege.”

Even in her life drawings with models in repose, “it’s all about movement and fluidity. A real person, who is never completely still, who might get up and walk away. To capture that is a constant challenge but also a delight.”

Lindy is thrilled to have been invited to exhibit at the Glyndebourne Festival this year and eagerly anticipates drawing the singers as they rehearse.

Later this year (29th October – 13th November 2016), Lindy will be exhibiting at the Hop Gallery in Lewes with her artist son, Joseph Davey, who is based in Sweden. ‘Östersund – Sussex, Mother and Son Relating’ will be the third time they have shared the space at this delightful historic gallery and will feature a mix of landscapes, portraits and life drawings in a variety of media.

Bill Savidge Retrospective Art Exhibition April 2nd until 29th April 2016. Free entry.

The View, Seaford Head Golf Course, Southdown Road, Seaford, East Sussex BN25 4JS Seaford Art Club has organised a retrospective art exhibition at The View, comprising late works by local artist Bill Savidge who died unexpectedly just before Christmas 2015. The exhibition is held in aid of the local charity ‘Waves’ helping people re-build their lives.

Varied and exciting work

Bill began to rekindle his natural artistic talent soon after he took early retirement in 2000 and in a relatively short time managed to produce a large body of varied and exciting work. Working mainly in watercolours, Bill constantly pushed the boundaries of the medium using all sorts of innovative techniques to develop his own unique style.

Art was just one area where Bill made a difference to people’s lives. Outside of art, through his connection with the Seaford Baptist Church, Bill’s energy and drive has helped many people of all age groups over many years.

Bill touched many people with his enthusiasm, love and support, and we hope that many will come to view and enjoy his paintings. At the request of his family the paintings are not for sale but there will be a collection box available in the bar to support the work of ‘Waves’.

The venue

The View, at Seaford Head Golf Club, with its wonderful sea views, is particularly fitting for this show. Come and enjoy, as Bill did, their coffee or tea, and especially their bacon butties, and look out over Seaford Bay. Parking is free and with easy access to the The View.

We would like to thank Bill’s family and private owners who have helped us put together this display of late works. Jeremy Sales

S. J. Hampton

Naturally generous

When Bill had an interest in anything he would put his whole self into it, and being a naturally generous person would ensure plenty of his time and energy was directed towards helping others.

Bill was the fundraising manager for the local Seaford charity ‘Waves’, set up to help families in crisis, and used his art to raise funds. He was a member of the ‘Society of Eastbourne Artists’, a trustee and tutor running workshops with the ‘Catalyst Art Group’, and a founder member and Treasurer of ‘Last Minute Artists’. Bill also helped set up and run ‘Splash’, which offered a chance to experience art to those who were unsure of their artistic ability and who could not afford lessons or the materials.

Being the biggest show in town doesn’t necessarily make you the best We would never claim to be the largest estate agency in Seaford, but we’ve never wanted to be.

What we do know with a high degree of certainty is what we’re good at, what we believe in and why it helps our clients.

When Stephen set up the office in Seaford in 1987 there was never a grand plan to take over the world of East Sussex property.

Stephen explained: “Since I opened the focus has always been on providing the best levels of service and advice to our clients. And the advice we give always takes into account the long-term needs of our clients.

“I always believed that it was far more important to provide a personal service designed around what the client needed, rather than what monthly targets from head office or shareholders demanded.

“This is why we’ve always kept our one office, personalised service approach. By being an owned and managed agency we are fully aware that the buck stops with Andrew and me. Over the years that has proved to be a big, reassuring plus point for clients we’ve worked for.”

Stephen Newberry

Andrew Tully

Recently we’ve sponsored both the Seaford Striders running club and Cycle Seahaven. We realise we earn our livings from the community and that’s why we do all we can to support it.

Thanks for reading

Andrew and Stephen PS: Have you signed up for our monthly newsletter? To be added to our list simply email: Jeanne@newberrytully.co.uk

Newberry Tully 53 Church Street, Seaford (opposite Seaford Health Store) Tel: 01323 490001 www.newberrytully.co.uk

Andrew added: “By focusing on a more bespoke type of agency, we’ve managed to keep consistently high levels of service.

“When you have a sales enquiry you’ll deal with me and if it’s about lettings you’ll be served by Stephen, and both of us are very ably supported

by Jeanne and Jenny in our office.

“There’s no passing over of responsibility, and not being a large chain means we can also support local causes that matter to the community of Seaford.”

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’.

Boozy Bass in Butter Sauce

by Julian O’Vegetables The magazines you get with the weekend newspapers are a great source of fine recipes and general ideas for food. This month I’m featuring one from the Times, published in late February.

This recipe, by Theo Randall, uses fillets of sea bass. It’s a fairly expensive fish, so it’s best for that special occasion such as a fish course for a dinner party. It can be bought locally, supporting our inshore fishermen, but hurry as the EU in their wisdom will soon be putting restrictions on how many of these fine fish our fishermen are allowed to catch.

This dish is really easy to prepare, looks great on the plate and uses relatively few ingredients. Oh, and it tastes good too.

Ingredients (Serves 4). 4 sea bass fillets about

180g each (get the fishmonger to cut them from the thick end), 150g unsalted butter, 4 lemon slices, 8 basil leaves, salt and pepper to season, 200ml dry white vermouth, wilted chard or spinach.

Method

Heat the oven to 190C. Fold doubled sheets of foil into four large squares and butter the shiny sides. Place a fillet, skin side up, on each square of foil.

Top each fillet with a slice of lemon, 2 basil leaves and 25g butter. Fold up the sides of the foil around the fish and pour 50ml of vermouth into each pocket. Leave to settle for a few seconds, then crimp together the edges to seal the foil around the fish in a parcel. Place the foil parcels on a baking tray and bake for 12 minutes. When the fish is cooked, strain the juices from the parcels into a saucepan, setting the fish aside in the foil to keep warm.

Bring to the boil and reduce by half, then stir in the rest of the butter. Serve the sea bass topped with the butter sauce and some wilted chard or spinach. Enjoy!

EAST BLATCHINGTON LECTURES: THE WRIGHT MAN A talk about one of the most intriguing English painters will start this year’s series of East Blatchington Lectures on Tuesday 5th April.

It will be given by Kay Blackburn whose subject is Joseph Wright of Derby, an 18th century painter, talented and versatile, who developed new and original subjects, including night scenes, scientific experiments and early industrial scenes.

His main work was in depicting the domestic and workshop interiors at the time of the Industrial Revolution where, by the light of a candle or a furnace, the figures are thrown into relief and dramatically presented. His most famous painting, now in the National Gallery, was An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump, and not quite as horrific as it may sound. He also painted some fine portraits of high standing people of the time.

Perameter Plumbing Gas and Plumbing Specialist Central Heating Installations Boiler Breakdowns/Servicing Landlord Certificates New Bathrooms Designed and Installed No Call Out Charge No Job too Big or Small Free Estimates No VAT on Labour

The following month, on Tuesday 3rd May, the speaker will be Father Andrew. His lecture is called “Mixing Metaphors” and will mark the publication of his seventh book, Learning the Language of the Soul.

Other lectures in the series are:

7th June: Nash Robbins, the proprietor of Much Ado Books in Alfriston, will talk about running a bookshop.

5th July: Rosemary Leech describes the life of the scandalous George Sand, the French writer who scandalised society with her unconventional ways and her love affairs, including one with the composer Chopin.

2nd August: the guest will be Norman Baker, former MP of Lewes, who will talk about what life is like as an ex-MP, and his fun at being a musician.

As usual, these lectures are held at St Peter’s Church, Belgrave Road, Seaford, and are open to everyone.

They start at 2.30pm, admission is £7 which includes refreshment.

The Synergy Theatre The Synergy Theatre makes its annual trip to Kingston Parish Hall with the moving story of a mother’s love for her son – Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts.

GHOSTS by

Henrik Ibsen

translated by David Parton

Wednesday 6th – Saturday 9th April 2016 7.30pm, Kingston Parish Hall, The Street, Kingston-near-Lewes

Tickets (£7.00) available from www.thesynergytheatre.co.uk or (01273) 301444 / (01273) 474303

Helene Alving is about to dedicate an orphanage in memory of her husband, the late Chamberlain Alving.

Confiding in her friend, Pastor Manders, that her marriage was not as happy as she made out, Manders convinces her to put it behind her and maintain the lie to preserve her reputation. Her son, Osvald, whom she sent away to prevent him being corrupted by his father’s behaviour, has returned, suffering from an unnamed disease that he inherited from his father. Osvald falls in love with the family’s maid, Regine, which causes his mother great anguish, as some secrets are simply too painful to ever be revealed.

When Ghosts was written, no professional theatre would touch it – its world première in Chicago in May 1882 was performed by amateurs and, on arrival in England in 1891, it was banned by the censor and received a ‘one night only’ performance in a private theatre club. Ibsen has said that he ‘had to write Ghosts’ in order to uncover the shoddy morality and double standards of the middle class. In tackling his own kind, Ibsen created an infamous masterpiece that still insists we look deeper into society and carry on asking difficult questions of those who set the moral standard.

The company is led by Josie Hobbs as Helene Alving and John Hamilton as family friend, Pastor Manders.

Emily Barlow and Peter Linsdell play father and daughter, Regine and Jakob and the cast is completed by Chris Church as Helene’s artist son, Osvald.

Ghosts will be performed at Kingston Parish Hall, The Street, Kingston-near-Lewes, from Wednesday 6th – Saturday 9th April 2016.

FRIENDS OF TIDE MILLS 19 members of the Friends of Tide Mills completed their February meeting. Given the far from ideal conditions, this is an amazing number of volunteers and just reinforces how much this special place is cared about. We welcomed several new members, which is always heartening for us.

As last month we are confronted by levels of litter we havn't witnessed for some considerable time – showing (if there was any doubt) how much litter dumping is still occurring in our seas, as the vast majority of the litter is undoubtedly being blown in to the beach rather than being casually discarded. We collected 17 sacks worth of rubbish this time, plus a few larger items.

We have also now re-installed our Ringed Plover nesting signs for this year's breeding season. These can be seen just to the Seaford side of the old village and close to the tidal lagoon. As always we respectfully ask that disturbance within this area is minimised during the mating and fledging season March to July. Installing these signs is an indication that at last Spring is just around the corner! We will recover the signs in August.

Our next meeting is taking place Sunday 17th April, 10am until 12 noon, meeting at the old village beach waymarker. All are very welcome to come along, no matter how much time can be spared – the more we are the quicker it will be to get Tide Mills back to how we all like to see it.

SEAFORD Inner Wheel

Eastbourne General Hospital

At our 9th February meeting Ann Wilson, Secretary of the Friends of Eastbourne Hospital gave an inspiring talk on its work and fundraising to assist the hospital. For some time the Friends have run a flower shop at the main entrance, a coffee shop and a small supermarket in the main entrance to the hospital and all the profits are used to buy much needed equipment etc. However, the shopping list of requirements is endless and expensive. With this need very much in mind Seaford Inner Wheel ran their Bangers & Mash lunch at the beginning of January and raised £600, which was presented to Ann. She promised that the money would be earmarked for the new robot and would probably complete its purchase.

Community Resolution: successfully settling the cost of vandalism Seaford Town Council has been working closely with Sussex Police in the search for vandals causing damage to one of its buildings at the Crouch.

Just after Christmas 2015, a number of young people were photographed vandalising the roof of the Crouch Bowling Club pavilion, a building that is owned by Seaford Town Council and the home to the Crouch Bowling Club. It cost more than £500 to repair the damage, not including the staff time related to managing the complaints, repairs and safety. If offenders are not identified and apprehended, repair costs of this nature are often met entirely by the tax payer, particularly if insurance claims are not cost effective for the level of damage.

However, through positive action from Sussex Police and the vigilance of local residents, each of the offenders was identified and they were interviewed in order to address the necessary recompense. Apology letters were sent to the Town Council where the offenders expressed their remorse, acknowledging their unacceptable behaviour and poor judgement. Repayments were also made by all but one of the offenders, who agreed instead to undertake a form of community service in recognition of their role in the activities.

Then there was a further offence where a glass panel was smashed in one of Seaford’s seafront shelters; on this occasion the offenders were apprehended shortly after the offence and again Community Resolution was put into place where repayment of the repair costs are to be met by the offenders.

In both cases the vigilance of those reporting the crimes while they were taking place gave the Police the advantage. Seaford Town Council and Sussex Police are therefore expressing the importance of reporting any criminal or anti-social activity as soon as it is witnessed.

By using the 101 non-emergency line this ensures that a record is logged and is proven as being effective in apprehending those committing offences; if the incidents are not reported, also if they are not reported as soon as the evidence comes to light then Sussex Police have little to work on. If the 101 lines are busy which can sometimes be the case, you can also report incidents quickly online by visiting http://www.sussex.police.uk/ help-centre/report-something-online and following the ‘Report Online’ link.

Concerned about your home being sold to fund your future care fees?

The Issue

You probably own your home as joint tenants if you are a couple and solely if you are single. For couples this means you own it wholly, jointly and severally. Ultimately therefore you do not own it 50:50 as you might have assumed. You actually own all of it together and when one partner dies the surviving partner owns it solely and absolutely.

It is sole and absolute ownership that enables a whole property to be taken into consideration as an asset by the local authority and puts the property in danger of needing to be sold to fund care.

The Reality Today

The care Act 2014 introduced in April 2015 allows local authorities to assess your assets to determine if you need to pay for your own care under the new charges and assessment of resources regulations.

Currently if you have assets above £23,250, you are on your own and require care, you will probably have to pay for it all currently averaging around £1,000 per week.

Savings, cash and income would be used first and then your property would need to be taken into consideration. You would be expected to pay for all of your care until such time as your assets were depleted to below the £23,250 threshold.

You would then pay for a proportion of your care until your assets were below £14,250 - at which point all your future care would be paid for after any relevant income was taken into account.

The Solution

For couples, simply by changing the way you own your property well in advance of any care considerations i.e. from joint tenants to tenants in common and by setting up two property Trusts either immediately or within a properly structured Will at the same time will in most cases, protect the integrity of your home should you ever require care in the future, so long as avoiding care fees was not a primary motivating reason behind the implementation fo the strategy - i.e. you should be looking to protect your half of your property should your spouse remarry after your death, or you should be looking to ensure that your children would not lose 50% of their inheritance should they be made bankrupt or divorce or for example you should be looking to prevent a generational inheritance tax burden in the future. These are all sound reasons for implementing this strategy which in themselves are not deliberate deprivation of assets, but the implemantation of which protects the integrity of the property.

For sole owners the process is simply to set up a Trust now and convey your property into it which will produce the same result again this must be well in advance of any care considerations and the motivation must not solely be for the purpose of preventing your home being used to fund your care.

The Reasoning

When you own your home as tenants in common you actually own half each. With our Post death Property Protection Package when the first partner dies, they leave their half into their Trust.

The surviving partner is the Trustee of that Trust and also the Primary Beneficiary which means that as they own half and are Trustee of the other half they have complete control over the property and what happens to it. The children and/or whoever else is also nominated as ultimate Trust Beneficiaries will have access to that half of the property when the surviving partner dies.

The first half of the property then is 100% securely in Trust for the beneficiaries and will not be at risk. As a result of this simple strategy and because it is not possible to sell just the survivor’s half of the property, the integrity of the property is protected.

While the ‘’market value” of half a property is negligible, The Care Act 2014 guidelines do allow for this half to have a charge placed on it under a deferred payment arrangement for care fees which is why this package includes a Lasting Power of Attorney grant for Property and Financial affairs which will enable a preappointed Attorney to act on behalf of the survivor should they be unable to themselves and negotiate with the Local Authority for the property to be rented out and a percentage of the income given to the Local Authority instead of a charge being placed.

The second half of the property would then ultimately go into the Trust for access by the nominated beneficiaries when the surviving partner eventually dies.

With our Whole of Life and Post Death Complete Property and Family Protection Package both halves of the property are conveyed into Trust IMMEDIATELY. This means the whole property is protected straight away and not just after the first party dies. The benefits of this package are that it then protects the property even if both parties go into care before the death of either. It also means that if the survivor goes into care the property does not have to be rented but if it is 100% of the income goes directly into the Trusts for the benefit of the survivor or any of the other Trust Beneficiaries and does not have to be given to the Local Authority. The most important benefit of this package though is the property can be sold at any time and the resulting proceeds be fully protected for the whole family within the Trusts and no negotiation with the Local Authority is required.

Sole owners and couples who have immediately conveyed their properties into Trust well in advance of any care consideration and not solely for the purpose of preventing their home being used to fund their care (deliberate deprivation of assets) secures the integrity of the property (so long as entry into care is not within 6 months of setting up the strategy) as the property is not absolutely owned by an individual anymore and it is not legal to force a Trustee to do something that is not in the ultimate best interest of the Trust Beneficiaries.

Call us now on 01323 301383 for a friendly chat about which package would be of best benefit to you and your family.

A view from the Potting Shed

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD

There are several classes in the Horticultural Show schedule that remain available to sponsor at £10 per class. Any member or organisation who would like to support the show in this way, perhaps in memory of a loved one or because a certain flower, fruit or vegetable is a favourite, then please contact Sylvia Reeve. Contact details are in the schedule and on the website seafordhorti.com The first of the Society’s outings is on 21st April to Exbury Gardens in Hampshire – a spectacular 200-acre site famous for the Rothschilds Collection of rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas, rare trees and shrubs. A lovely day for those joining the trip.

The Seaford Horticultural Society year continued with the second of its monthly social evenings at the end of February when the guest speaker was Debbie Hibberd with her talk entitled ‘From Rugby Pitch to Open Garden’. Debbie shared with us how she transformed her back garden into an oasis of beauty and tranquillity from the garden her son had used in his younger days as his rugby pitch. With pictures on screen we were taken through the transformation of the garden as well as tips on garden design and the varieties of flowers to put together to establish a lovely garden. Debbie hopes to open her garden again in 2017 for all to see after making further changes during this year. Sylvia Reeve

to d o

The next social evening is at 7pm on Thursday 28th April at St Leonard’s Church Hall. The speaker is to be Ray Hale with a talk entitled ‘The Search for Endangered Species in Borneo’. Included in the evening will be a competition of ‘5 Tulips in a vase’ open to all members. Bring along your best blooms in your own vase for a colourful display so a winner can be chosen. Last year 8 members competed and a vase of black tulips won.

Waiting a couple more weeks or sowing and keeping in a greenhouse if available will be the better option.

what

A

pril is the month of spring, warmer sunshine and more colour in the garden, trees coming to life and lambs in the fields – a time to get outdoors and see the new life appearing everywhere. There is now that desire to get out into the garden and see what has survived the cold wet and windy days of winter.

Suddenly there is a lot of work to do, removing weeds, sowing seeds and plants, preparing pots for summer flowering, visiting garden centres and public gardens to get ideas of what to grow to create a colourful display of flowers and produce tasty crops to enjoy in the months ahead. However, care has to be taken as weather can be unpredictable, with a sudden cold snap, some seeds sown outside will not germinate and the effort is wasted.

JOBS TO DO IN APRIL

April is a good month to sow sunflower seeds.

Choose a sunny, open spot outdoors. Rake the soil to a fine tilth and sow the seeds about 1/2 inch deep & 2 inches apart. Water in well and blooms will be ready to display in one of the flower classes at the Show in August.

Sow some herbs – mint, rosemary and chives will tolerate outside temperatures whereas basil, dill and coriander prefer some heat to get started.

Deadhead spring bulbs and allow the leaves to die down naturally – they will then bloom even better next year.

Young vegetable plants need regular potting on – this helps produce bigger root systems.

If white roots are seen on the outside of the compost when the pot is slipped off, a larger pot is required.

Seaford Gardening Club After a dreary winter we can now enjoy longer days and look forward to the joys of Spring. The pond is full of frog spawn, so someone has been busy! The hedgehog has also emerged from hibernation to forage in the undergrowth for slugs, snails and other food.

Ian Everest, our February speaker, gave a very informative talk entitled ‘The Women’s Land Army in Sussex Connections’. His decision to do these talks came from investigating his own family history. His mother asked him to include her history too, as the family were all involved in farming. She joined ‘The Land Army’ at the age of 19 and she enjoyed a healthy lifestyle and happiness for many years.

The army girls learned many trades, such as riding a horse, driving a tractor for ploughing and harvesting, and other skills. Some of the girls had come from different walks of life, and found farming very new and hard work. The men had to go to war, so the girls were recruited and were invaluable. Wages were poor (24 shillings a week after board and lodging) and conditions left much to be

desired! They helped run farms and feed the nation on the Home Front while men were fighting in the war. One of their jobs was to gather in the hay to be sent abroad for the ‘war horses’.

Subsequently a wealthy woman named Lady Denman, who had been elected to be the first National Chairman of the Women’s Institute in 1917, secured better conditions for the girls and to show how they played an important role for the war effort.

Good health was most important and regular medicals were carried out. A new uniform was also created for them to wear during the Second World War. Lady Denman insisted it was not to be designed by a man! She encountered many obstacles from the government, but fought hard for her girls to secure better conditions. The land army carried on for five years after the war ended.

Many of their lives were changed, and some of the girls married farmers and military men. They were awarded a special medal by the government in 2008.

To conclude his talk, Ian told us the heart-warming additional story of when his mother was invited to Buckingham Palace, along with more than 90 veterans to have tea with Her Majesty, Prince Phillip and other royals.

It was the best day of her life!

This was an extremely interesting talk, delivered by a man who had such personal ties with Sussex and The Women’s Land Army. Much enjoyed by us all.

Our next talk is on Wednesday 27th April and will commence at 7pm with an Extraordinary AGM for the sole purpose of winding up the Club (from June 2016) as no offers have been received to fill two key committee posts. This will be followed by the normal monthly meeting at 7.30pm, when Ian Gledhill will talk to us on the wonders of ‘Art Deco’. The meeting will be held in the Clinton Centre, Clinton Place, Seaford (using the 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.

It may be the beginning of March at the time of writing, but here in Seaford Community Garden we are heads down against a hail storm addressing the Annual Spring Makeover, spurred on by the prospect of two events that always see plenty of visitors who know a thing or two about matters horticultural. First up will be the Mayor’s Garden Trail on 5th June, when we will be one of at least seven gardens taking part. Following that will be the Macmillan Garden Trail on 9th and 10th July which will see us open on the Saturday (9th July).

Talking of trails, though, some of us were wondering where a profusion of perennials had come from and the answer was that they had been kindly gifted

by Carolyn McCutchan of Bates Green Farm, Arlington, who of course opens her Bluebell Woods and Farm Trail each year to raise money for various charities including the Rotary Club of Seaford, which is so generous to our garden. Global warming – and this year’s mild winter – means the trail is opening earlier, this year from 2nd April until 8th May. As Katie pointed out: go early and you should be treated to a carpet of white wood anemones that will give way to the breathtaking bluebells.

Bob, our herb specialist, is spreading his influence westwards. Having just moved to a flats block in Peacehaven he was keen to suss out the outdoor space and found raised beds that had been filled with acidic pure compost in which nothing was thriving. He lost no time in adding some grit and new top soil to dilute the mixture so it will be ready for growing veg and herbs from round about May. We are glad that youth groups like the Beavers and Charlie Bear’s Nursery are using our garden at the Crouch and will be delighted to help the 2nd Seaford

Brownies gain their gardening badges. And with awards in mind, we gave ourselves a pat on the back for our entry which gained third prize in the Hellebore Heads Floating in Water competition at a recent meeting of Seaford Horticultural Society. We were beaten by no less than that organisation’s Secretary and Treasurer. Respect!

Lastly, we were delighted to welcome surely our youngest ‘volunteer’ ever, two-week-old Robin, grandson of a very proud Viv and John. Give him a few years and we’ll have plenty of jobs for him to do on a Wednesday morning from 9.30 until noon!

SEAFORD KURLERS

Hello everyone!

This is the first time that it has been possible to update the situation about the effect of council cut backs.

ESDA (East Sussex Disability Association) was led to believe that the whole of their funding would be cut.

This would have been devastating to all the people who rely heavily on their support for everyday existence. The excellent news is that the services were all saved.

Thank you to anyone who took the time and trouble to protest to their local councillors and MPs. This means that Seaford Kurlers are saved from possible funding cuts. We do not receive any financial support from ESDA, but if ESDA had closed then we would have had to ‘stand alone’ as a club. Public liability insurance may have been too expensive. Being an ESDA group, we are protected by their public liability cover.

We try to arrange trips out during the year and we always have an annual Christmas lunch. Now that we know that ESDA is safe and all services can resume, Seaford Kurlers can look forward to the future with confidence.

Now that the warmer weather is coming, how about trying a new venture and coming to see what Seaford Kurlers get up to? The sport is New Age Kurling. It is as active as you want to make it. The social side to the club means that you would get to meet new people and friends. The game can be played by people with a range of mobility issues.

Go on – take the plunge and see what we do. Some recent members are really enjoying it. Some are finding that they already know some existing members and are renewing old friendships. We meet every Tuesday from 2pm until 4pm at the Downs Leisure Centre, Seaford. We have a break half-way through in the excellent restaurant at the centre.

Whilst in the centre, have a look around and see what Wave Leisure has to offer. You will be surprised at the range of activities. available. There is something for everyone to enjoy.

THE BRIGHTON half MARATHON

by Scott Hitchcock

Brighton Half was a good solid and flat race with few corners. Most important from a runner’s perspective was the fact that it was well organised with copious amounts of marshals, signposts and volunteers. The Finisher Medal is one for the mantel piece. Supporter crowd was fantastic, with the long flat course giving great potentials for PBs. The Park & Ride scheme seemed to work well and the weather conditions were excellent for running, especially for a February race – the sun even made a brief appearance. There was a great mix of runners of all abilities, who collectively will have raised an amazing amount of money for numerous charities.

The race started off on Madeira Drive, taking in the surroundings with the sea, Pier and Big Wheel on the left, with Sally Gunnell alongside Heart radio to get the runners motivated for the 9am start. Circuit around the Old Steine for the 1st Mile. The runners headed east along the coast towards Ovingdean for 2 miles, where there were bands playing to keep up the morale. Sharp turn just before the Ovingdean roundabout, heading west along the coast for 3 miles back towards the centre, where the masses of spectators and supporters were in big voice!

We continued straight along the coast for a further 3 miles until the Hove Lagoon turn on mile 9, passing FatBoy Slim’s house, who was also participating in the race! The next 2 Miles were on the Hove Promenade – this is where the wind was blowing head on and was for

Mile 12 and we headed back on to the main road, eastbound where the finish line was in our sights.

The final push on that last mile was made so much easier by the thousands of people cheering us all on, and the atmosphere helped more than one of the runners get their sprint finishes in.

Four of the Seaford Striders took part and delivered some cracking results, with three out of the four achieving PBs. Sadly Simon Fletcher experienced a very bad stitch and was unable to finish. He was totally gutted as he, too, had been aiming for a PB in around 1:16, having already completed 10K in 36min. Our three finishers were Joshua Rudd 1:23:13 (PB); Scott Hitchcock (photo top), 1:27:03 (PB) and Luke Borland (photo above), 1:28:54 (PB).

THE HAIR LOUNGE Hi there, my name’s Leanne. I’ve recently opened The Hair Lounge at the bottom of the High Street in Seaford. ‘Oh no, not another hairdressers?’ I hear you cry – but actually it’s not another hairdresser, it’s an existing one that’s moved!

The Hair Lounge is a new salon with an old-school feel. I’ve been working in a salon in Seaford for over five years, since having my children, and last year I felt it was the right time to take the plunge and follow my dream of having my own premises.

I trained and worked in Brighton from 1996-2005, specialising in colour and styling, and was part of an innovative and creative team. I really wanted to bring the retro-loving and laid back easy feel of the North Laines to Seaford, because it’s where my happy memories of being a young career girl were made and it’s still my favourite place to have a coffee or have a mooch around the unusual shops and stalls. I feel I’ve managed to recreate this, with a intimate layout and a cosy and relaxed feel to the salon.

I use a very high quality products and offer a very affordable service price, which includes refreshments and a separate comfy ‘lounge area’ so that clients can relax and enjoy a personalised pampering experience.

There is an Open Evening for Su Jok Acu Therapy on Thursday 14th April from 7pm, so please feel welcome to pop in for a free taster session or just to gather information over nibbles and a glass of bubbles.

The Hair Lounge also offers the amazing CND Shellac Power Polish manicures and pedicures – a product I’ve worked with for around five years now and still love!

I enjoy going through the colours with clients, helping them to choose their favourite and I adore the instant glamour and confidence it gives the clients without compromising the condition of the natural nail.

I would also like to thank my family, friends, ex-colleagues and, of course, my clients, both existing and new, for supporting me and making this exciting new venture possible.

I’m currently looking to build a team so please get in touch if you are an experienced and creative stylist or therapist.

You can follow us on Facebook for all our latest offers and treatments available.

There is a tranquil treatment room for massage treatments, including deep tissue and remedial massage, with an experienced therapist who also practises the revolutionary new therapy Su Jok Acu – needleless acupuncture that works with pressure points in your hand to relieve pain in the body.

Tuesday - Friday: 9.30-3pm Saturday: 9.30am - 5.30pm Evenings available by appointment

REIKI AND CRYSTAL HEALING

EXPANDING OUR INNER EXPERIENCE

A day of peace, relaxation & exploration

April 12th 2016, 9am - 5pm, £50 ‘We need to get back in contact with our spirit, with our inner creative source. I believe that each one of us has a deep sense of truth within us, the guiding force that can lead us successfully through our lives.’ (Shakti Gawain, 1991).

This day is about creating opportunities for us to connect with our inner wisdom, and through this connection, begin to focus on what we would like to change, improve or let go of in our lives.

The morning will start with gentle yoga (no experience of yoga needed) and relaxation to help us deepen our connection with our bodies. Next, the group will create a space within the room to enable a direct expression of those aspects of our lives that we can let go of, and an area of aspiration for some aspect of our lives we want to change. Then, the delicious Florence House lunch!

In the afternoon we will divide into two groups – one will do meditation and yoga, and the other mediation and art (no experience of art needed). The groups will work for one hour and then swap over. After tea we will spend some time exploring different types of chanting and shamanic drumming.

There are a few places left. Ring now to book your place on this wonderful day.

For bookings and payment information, please contact: Robin Shell: robinshell63@gmail.com For information about the yoga contact: Rosie Waters: seahavenyoga@btinternet.com Please recycle this magazine when you have finished with it.

SEAFORD NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY We start our 2016 season of outdoor meetings on 12th April at West Harbour, Newhaven with a walk for members only exploring the foreshore with Gerald Legg. And on 26th April Bob Self is leading our spring bird walks, one at 7am from Shooter’s Bottom and the second from Birling Gap at 10am.

These bird walks are open to all.

Our outdoor meetings are gentle walks usually lasting about two and a half hours. They generally take place on Tuesdays – see the listings in Seaford Scene for details.

We look forward to seeing members and welcoming visitors and prospective new members. We suggest that visitors make a £1 donation – which will be refunded if you decide to join the society. For more information about the society, please visit our website www.seafordnaturalhistory.org.uk or ring 01323 492618.

Out and about in April Springtime brings frogspawn, tadpoles and frogs to our ponds and waterways. There are two native species of frogs in Britain – the Pool Frog and the Common Frog – but you won’t see the Pool Frog in Sussex. It became extinct some time ago but has been reintroduced recently into a site in Norfolk. The frogs in our garden ponds are almost certainly Common Frogs.

Common Frogs (left) have smooth moist skin and long stripy legs; they hop; they are usually a shade of olivegreen or brown but can be yellow, pink, red, lime-green, cream or black; they often has mask around eye; and they live in damp habitats.

They should be easy to distinguish from Common Toads (right). Their skin is ‘warty’ and relatively dry; they crawl rather than hop; are

generally brown or olive-brown; and they live in dryer habitats – you are more likely to find adult Common Toads skulking under bushes when you prune them hard than in more watery habitats.

As well as Common Frogs (right) you may find Marsh Frogs in ponds in the Sussex countryside. They are not native to Britain but they are common in Europe. In spring, you may well hear them before you see them. They make a loud noise a bit like quacking ducks by inflating a pair of balloon-like vocal sacs, one either side of their heads. When you see them, they are usually easy to distinguish from the Common Frog, being yellowy green, with a yellow stripe down the back, a pair of ridges down their sides and lacking the mask behind the eye that the Common Frog has.

Frogs have a fascinating life cycle. Around February/ March individual female frogs lay between 1000 and 4,000 eggs in a jelly – the mass of jelly and eggs is the familiar frogspawn. Tadpoles emerge from the eggs about a month later so should be visible around the time this article is published. It takes about eleven weeks for tadpoles to turn into frogs, which are ready to leave the pond between June and September. So lots to look out for in ponds and slow running waterways in the spring and through into the summer!

If you would like to learn more about frogs and other amphibians, try websites like www.froglife.org from which most of this information came.

BE KIND TO YOURSELF

Judy Renihan says ‘it’s the best investment you can make’ If a friend was having a bad time, when everything in their life seemed to be going wrong, I imagine that you would console them.

You would give them a hug and comfort them.

You would cheer them up.

Would you, however, do the same for yourself?

Invest in Yourself

Take some ‘ME’ time. Everyday do something that brings you joy. It could just be a walk around the block or sitting quietly at the end of the day with a cup of tea. Take the space to unwind, even if it’s just ten minutes. The important thing is that this time and space is just for you.

Be Positive About You

When clients come to visit me at ‘The House’ I often hear them calling themselves ‘stupid’ or berating themselves for what they ‘should’ have done or they tell themselves they don’t deserve kindness. I’m sure they would never be as harsh with anyone else as they are with themselves.

People come in and out of our lives but the one certainty we have is that until the day we die we have to live with ourselves. With that in mind, I think it would be a good idea to start having a decent relationship with ourselves and the essence of the relationship is being kind and accepting of ourselves.

We all benefit from kindness but some of us have been brought up to think that being kind to yourself is somehow selfish. Self-compassion can feel self-indulgent.

However, they are very different; kindness to yourself is about self-respect and respecting those around you.

Self-indulgence is not respectful either to yourself or the rest of the world. When you think of it, how can being unkind to yourself benefit others? I often use the example of the safety leaflet on aeroplanes; they tell us to put on our own oxygen mask before helping others.

Once we are kind and take care of ourselves we are in a better position to show kindness and give care to others.

98

HOW TO BE KIND TO YOU

We can often have a negative, nagging voice in our head that makes us doubt ourselves and our abilities. Be aware of that voice and challenge each negative thought with a positive one. Watch out for that negative inner dialogue, it can really cut you down and it can be difficult to quieten that voice when you’ve been listening to it for years. Changing old thoughts can take time but keep at it.

Remember; you’re worth it.

Accept and Appreciate Yourself Stop trying to be somebody you’re not; it’s exhausting and you’ll never really pull it off. We all have strengths and weaknesses. We have successes and failures. Being perfect is a place that none of us will ever get to, so stop trying and accept yourself as you are today. Celebrate your successes and be kind and learn from your mistakes. Stop comparing yourself to others and instead rejoice in who you are. Accepting and appreciating yourself is the key to self-esteem and confidence.

Being kind is one of the best things you can do for yourself. You will feel happy in yourself and with those around you. Being kind to yourself is not something to feel guilty about. Consider it an investment in yourself that will benefit, not only your life but the lives of those around you.

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.

SLIMMING WORLD SUCCESS Over the Christmas period, whilst everyone was celebrating with family and friends, three Slimming World consultants were getting ready to support existing members and welcome new members into their groups. The aim – to help and support the people of Seaford to a happy and healthier new year.

Tara and Emma had already been running award winning groups and had become part of an elite group of Bronze Consultants and by the End of January, Anne's new group had won a ruby award whilst she was part of the Bronze club too! Slimming World puts these awards in place to recognise the commitment and achievements of the Consultants.

All had different reasons for joining Slimming World, but the outcome has been the same – healthier, happier and positive about being part of the Slimming World family.

Emma was in a great deal of pain following a horrific car accident and comfort ate to relieve the pain. Suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and gaining nearly five stone in weight, Emma saw a therapist who asked where she would like to be in a year's time – Emma had a light bulb moment and said "a slimmer, happier me".

She joined Slimming World and within a year was five stone lighter, reached target and trained as a consultant to support others to lose their unwanted weight.

Tara had also been unhappy with her weight and joined Slimming World to change her life around. Having lost nearly three stone Tara trained with Slimming World and took over the Tuesday group at the Constitutional Club three years ago. It then became two groups, which is when Anne walked in one evening feeling nervous

and very self conscious having yoyo dieted for years and never getting anywhere. Anne now runs the 5.30pm Tuesday group.

The warm Slimming World welcome made staying with the group easy. The magic of the Slimming World plan is – no gimmick, pills or potions just fill up on healthy foods – unlimited pasta, rice, jacket potatoes, fruit, veg, lean meats, fish – and stay on top of the foods which make us all gain weight but still enjoy treats – biscuits, crisps, wine etc – and stay in control of these treats which you eat less of, having filled up on lovely healthy foods cooked the Slimming World way.

The groups are full of lovely, supportive people, who are on their own unique weight loss journey and happy to share tips and hints. Slimming World also rewards success with certificates and competitions – Couple of the Year last month, Greatest Loser in March and we are looking forward to celebrating our Young Slimmer of the Year.

There is no humiliation, everything is confidential and the key to our success is great food, friendly groups and tons of support. Our members have great weight losses and in some cases it is life changing – coming off medication or getting into a dream outfit!

There are Slimming World groups now all over the country, having been around for 46 years, and they are never advertised because the company puts it's money into nutritional research and support. The plan has lasted because it works and Slimming World is an amazing family to be a part of. We all trained to give something back and support others and we have all had some amazing success stories with our lovely members.

Find us on Tuesdays at the Constitutional Club with Tara at 9.30am, Anne at 5.30pm and 7.30pm and Emma at Chyngton Methodist Church on Thursdays 5.30pm and 7.30pm and get a warm Slimming World welcome.

Stone Axe Hoard rediscovered:

A national treasure in Seaford Museum Seaford Museum has a national treasure that has been neglected for nearly 30 years. It was discovered in December 1986 when a gas main trench was dug in Seaford High Street. Immediately under the road surface the trench clipped a neolithic pit containing 15 flint axeheads, tightly packed as if once held together in a bag. The find was reported in the local press in March 1987, but never formally published, so it had been forgotten.

The stone axe was the key tool in the neolithic (40002500 BC). The Downs were still covered in woodland, and people needed axes to make clearings for growing crops and creating pasture for livestock. The timber was needed for house-building and firewood. The axe acquired a tremendous symbolic value, and some polished axes were evidently status symbols.

The Seaford axe hoard has become more important with the recent discovery of a flint tool-making factory on the Seaford Head Sixth Form Centre site in Steyne Road. Archaeologists excavated it in 2014, and site director Greg Priestley-Bell believes the factory was in use from 6000 BC until 2000 BC. This makes Seaford a unique place in British prehistory. Most axe factories were in use for a few decades: work at Seaford went on and on, for 40 centuries.

At the school site Greg found some broken axes that were just the same as the axes in the hoard. Another axe, broken and thrown away during manufacture, was found to the east in Ashurst Road. The Seaford axe factory may have stretched from Ashurst Road to Toy Town in the High Street. We can’t yet be sure.

Five of the axes are complete; the rest were broken, possibly when the trench was excavated. The five complete axe-heads are quite similar, with sharp cutting edges. They would have been good for tree-felling, but it seems they were never used. Their similarity suggests that they were all made by the same person. They were deliberately buried, probably for safe-keeping, some time between 3700 and 2500 BC. The recent discovery of the flint tool factory at the Sixth Form Centre site, combined with this hoard of

112

locally made axes, suggests that there was a neolithic industry on a considerable scale at Seaford and perhaps settlement too – long before we thought possible.

Several of the axes have small areas of the flint’s outer skin preserved. These are finely crazed by repeated banging together, just like modern beach cobbles, so it is likely that the axes were made from cobbles gathered from Seaford beach, further to the south than today, but still within walking distance.

Most hoards consist of only 2-4 axes. The hoard of 7 or 8 axes found at Knapton in Norfolk in 1953 was for some time believed to be the largest in Britain. The Seaford Hoard now takes second place to the hoard of 22 imported Breton axeheads found in Cornwall in the 1930s, though only identified in 2009. Until 2009 the Seaford Hoard – 15 axes – was the largest known stone axe hoard in Britain.

For some reason some of the axes were put in a box and forgotten. But now the hoard has been recognized for what it is, a very important find, and the axes have been reunited in a new display where they belong, right at the heart of Seaford Museum. Come and see this national treasure. It marks the starting-point of Seaford’s history.

Outstanding Early Birds

On one side of a room within Seaford Baptist Church, two chatty small boys are playing with a straight line of chairs which has become their train. At a table another child is eating his packed lunch. Elsewhere two little girls are cuddling a giant fluffy toy, appropriately named Early Bird after their nursery. All are happily engrossed during lunch club, a weekly extension of Early Birds Pre-School Group, which received a great Christmas present last year – news that it had once again been inspected by Ofsted and found to be Outstanding in all respects, a judgment that repeats its last inspection in 2011.

This award is all the more praiseworthy when you consider that the nursery is a ‘packaway’, meaning all the equipment – and it has lots – has to be stowed after each session to allow other activities to take place.

The pre-school is managed by Vanessa Ayres and her deputy Wendy Lindfield, with the help of five staff and administrator/treasurer Brenda Savage, and Vanessa said: “They are a very strong team. I’m very proud of them.”

Ofsted inspector Helen Edwards reported: “Staff have an excellent knowledge of the different ways that children learn and they skilfully use this information during activities.

They meticulously set out activities

that they know will excite and inspire children to learn. Staff ask questions that help children to think for themselves, taking their learning deeper. Staff have high expectations of what children can achieve.

They are highly skilled in supporting the development of young children’s speech, language and literacy.”

The day I visited children were learning, with the help of models, about the effects of polar ice on wildlife, the previous day having conducted experiments exploring the properties of ice. “All learning is done through hands-on play,” said Vanessa, recalling how the excitement of seeing ice melt in warm and cold water had had the effect of increasing their vocabulary.

On another occasion robots were broken down into components and used to prepare children for the phonics they would learn in school. For, as Wendy pointed out, an important part of what they do is liaising with primary schools so the children are prepared as well as they can be. As the Ofsted report noted: “All children, including those who have special needs, make exceptionally good progress. Children are extremely well prepared for their next stage in learning.”

Both Vanessa and Wendy, like most of their staff, have Level 3 NVQs in child development, and Wendy is a Special Needs Educational Coordinator too.

Early Birds, which currently has a few places, can take children from age two and has sessions from Monday to Friday during term time from 9am until noon, though this time can be extended from 8.30 to 12.30, with the Wednesday lunch club going on until 1.30pm. As I left parents were arriving to pick up their children, but no one seemed anxious to leave.

Hands Up!

for Chestnut Tree

Chestnut Tree is the children’s hospice service for East Sussex, caring for children with lifeshortening conditions, both at the hospice and in families’ own homes.

But for every child we care for there is another with their hands up waiting for help.

Our goal is to double the number of children we are caring for here, but to do that we need local people to put their Hands Up and say “Yes! I’ll help these children.”

We have opportunities for everyone so get in touch today and find out more.

Call us on 01323 725095 or go online.

Volunteer | Donate | Fundraise | Participate www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk/handsup

Put your Hands Up! for Chestnut Tree Put your Hands Up! for Chestnut Tree and help make every day count.

Chestnut Tree is the children’s hospice service for East Sussex. Each year, they look after hundreds of local children with life-shortening conditions, their siblings and families, giving them the chance to live life to the full – for as much time as they have together.

Whatever your passion and skills there are plenty of opportunities for you to put your Hands Up! and help. Whether it is volunteering, organising your own fundraiser, participating in one of their events or simply donating, find out more at www.chestnut-tree-house. org.uk/handsup

But it’s not enough, because for every child with a lifeshortening condition they care for in East Sussex, there is another with their hands up, waiting for their help.

The cost of all care services provided by Chestnut Tree is over £3.5m and less than 7 pence in every pound of this is funded by central government.

So to reach their goal – which is to double the number of children in East Sussex that they are caring for – they need to raise more money and awareness in East Sussex, and need more people like you to put your Hands Up! and say “Yes, I’ll help these children.”

Seaford Hard of Hearing Club The March meeting was well-attended by members and guests, attracted by the talk on the Lost Village of Tidemills. This was a fascinating talk; several members mentioned afterwards that they had learnt much from it.

Joanna Wilkins spoke about the mills, the village and the people as well as the other buildings there in the years between the wars. These included the seaplane hangars, Dales’ stables and the hospital of Chailey Heritage.

The archaeological dig has been going on for seven years, the length of time being brought about through a combination of a complicated history and digging only taking place on one day a week. One difficulty with the site is the erosion of some parts of the walls and the quayside.

Next month the speaker on 1st April (2.15 at St James’) is Alan Hodges, who will show pictures from his wide-ranging collection of postcards. These cover early 20th-century vehicles, their uses and history. Although

this sounds like a topic for the male members, Alan has always made his talks interesting for all our members.

The club welcomes new members and more details can be found by ringing the Secretary, Pauline White, on 01323 895216.

Archway Choirs Sing for Chestnut Tree House Charity ‘Love Can Build a Bridge’ is the title of a new concert being organised by Archway Choirs in collaboration with The Chestnut Tree Charity, which will take place at The Royal Hippodrome Theatre in Eastbourne on 15th May 2016.

This exciting event has been conceived by Archway Choirs Director Jane Reeves (left) who wants to raise the profile of this children’s charity locally and to help raise funds for such a worthwhile cause. Chestnut Tree House is a children’s hospice for East and West Sussex and cares for 300 children and young adults who suffer

from progressive life-shortening conditions. They provide care and support for the whole family, which costs in the region of £3.5m each year, so they rely heavily on the generosity, help and support of the people of Sussex.

Archway Choirs are thriving community choirs based in Seaford and Eastbourne and have been running successfully for the last six years boasting some 250 active members under the direction and creative guidance of Jane Reeves. The choirs consist of two main groups, Contemporary and Gospel, which cover a wide range of music from popular choral songs such as ‘Lacrimosa’ by Mozart, to modern day hits such as ‘Skyfall’ by Adele.

The choirs are well known locally, performing concerts in Eastbourne and Seaford and as well as performing for charity events they have also performed professionally at local theatres in Brighton with the West End cast of Godspell, at the Eastbourne Hippodrome with pop group Blake and also performed at the renowned Congress Theatre with Richard & Adam. More recently the choirs have appeared on BBC radio with Jane's own arrangements of Christmas songs, as well as recording parts for various TV adverts.

The ‘Love Can Build a Bridge’ concert marks a significant milestone for the Archway Choir. In 2016 Archway launched its vision for the future – building on the success of the last six years and embarking on new ambitions. The Archway wants to retain the fundamental values that have so successfully underpinned the choirs, but also to continue improving the standard of performance. In short the Archway wants to be inclusive and ambitious. The concert will be a manifestation of this vision.

The concert will include a live band and two children's choirs from schools in Eastbourne and Seaford. Tickets will be available from the Royal Hippodrome Box Office. www.royalhippodrome.com www.thearchwaygroup.com www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk

Seaford Little Theatre

Talking Heads

Who remembers those laugh-out-loud but heartsearingly poignant half-hour monologues written for TV by Alan Bennett? While their themes of ordinary lives laced with difficulties kept painfully private are as relevant today as in 1988, the staging of four of these playlets marked a huge milestone of achievement and bravery for Seaford Little Theatre. The society, which has celebrated its 70th anniversary, broke free from its usual diet of threeact comedies and thrillers and put on a quartet that called for huge reserves of talent from its solo players. It was quite a gamble to place a single actor on a platform for 35 minutes each, during which time they had total command of the audience, some of whom were sitting in-the-round. Of course all we had to do was relish Bennett’s acutely observant and understanding lines, but there were an awful lot of words to learn so the cast should take enormous credit for almost faultless performances.

Director Victoria Thompson did a fine job, keeping the production simple with just a few outer garment changes for the actors to denote passing time and circumstance. A big TV screen sat overhead, presumably as a token acknowledgement of the plays’ origins, and occasionally the actors were seen as talking heads in close up, a little distracting from the front but probably better from the back.

When the quartet opened I goggled as a figure I took to be Alan Bennett himself – surely not, in Seaford! – mounted the daïs.

Stephen Newberry was not only got up to look like him, but he had his mannerisms to a T and had no difficulty

going back to his Yorkshire childhood for a very convincing accent. As Graham in A Chip in the Sugar – played by Bennett himself in the TV version – his witty lines and down-to-earth observations had us laughing with him about his mother until the story took a darker turn.

Stephen, in this play – as in the others – we were putty in your hands, tittering, tutting and sighing by turns and sometimes all three at once.

The saddest story, Soldiering On, was with a wellcast Sue Shephard playing widow Muriel, mother of a mentally ill daughter – more awful family secrets disclosed here – whose son gradually reduced her to penury. Sue told her difficult story with admirable restraint. Tricia Pape as Irene in Lady of Letters gave a wonderful account of a serial complainer, her face lighting up with joy as she found happiness in prison.

Sylvia Aston as the vicar’s wife in Bed Among the Lentils gave an immaculate performance, tempering high comedy with pathos as she negotiated her husband’s Fan Club and consoled herself with communion wine and an affair.

The timing and accents were spot on and I hope this production is the harbinger of more, if not experimental, certainly different, kinds of drama. Is Seaford ready for it?

Yes it is.

A midsummer night’s dream & Twelfth Night

by William Shakespeare

Commemorating the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare’s death Local Seafordian and student actor Matt Robinson (photo) will be performing with the Academy of Creative Training in A Midsummer’s Night Dream and Twelfth Night at The Old Market Theatre in Brighton, this April.

Matt moved to Seaford in 1989 and joined Seaford Little Theatre, briefly enjoying several productions there, including a couple of stints as a techie. He played Perry in Noel Coward’s Waiting in The Wings for SLT’s 60th Anniversary, a murderous detective in Simon Williams’ Kiss of Death, a cheesy playboy philanderer in Time to Kill and the brutish George in Marc Camoletti’s Don’t Dress For Dinner.

Acting was his passion, which he pursued briefly at university in Middlesex in early 2000, after blooming at the then Seaford Head Community College, in productions of The King and I, Annie, Fiddler on the Roof and Dracula.

Matt explains, “The productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night coincide with the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, and it may have been said time and time before, but his works really are so relevant to the situations we face today. It’s true that not everyone can remember what a viol-de-gamboys is, or a peg-o-ramsay for that matter, but his plays –

ISSUE DEADLINEs: MaY ISSUE: Tues 5th April JUNE ISSUE: FRI 6th MAY please email: fran@seafordscene.co.uk 01273 710793 130

and these productions in particular – are full of the emotional highs and lows of human love. The trials of relationships and how we’re perceived by others.

And whether or not that should be anybody’s business!”

If music be the food of love, play on... In Twelfth Night, Shipwrecked twins land on the exotic isle of Ilyria, each believing the other has drowned. Disguise, deception, unrequited love, folly & confusion set the scene for this hilarious comedy of mischief, madness and infatuation.

Directed by the highly esteemed John Link, who as well as having over 45 years experience as a distinguished Theatre Director both here and abroad, is also a fantastic artist and teacher. (www.johnlink.org.uk/). He taught Benedict Cumberbatch at Lamda who’s credit includes ‘He knows how to direct you...Book him now!

Before I do! ‘ www.johnlinkdialog.com The course of true love never did run smooth...In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hermia loves Lysander and Helena loves Demetrius but Demetrius is about to marry Hermia... the Duke tries to force the marriage and so the entangled lovers flee to the forest & fly into the fallout of marital discord between the King and Queen of the Faeries. Frying pan, fire, lust, desire – all conspire to create a melée of mayhem & hilarity.

Sian Webber, who directs A Midsummer Night’s Dream, has worked as an actress for over twenty years. Her theatre credits include; The Young Vic, Bristol Old Vic, Salisbury Playhouse, The Wolsey, Battersea Arts, Croydon Warehouse, Chester Gateway, The Gate and tours both nationally and internationally. Her extensive television work includes co-starring with Simon Shepherd in two series of Bliss and she appears regularly as Ritchie Scott for Eastenders. www.thereviewshub.com/stella-minerva-chichester/ www.grumpygaycritic.wordpress.com/tag/sian-webber/
