Councillor Nazish Adil appointed Mayor of Seaford Seaford Town Council is delighted to announce the appointment of the Mayor for 2019-2020 is Councillor Nazish Adil.

Councillor Adil was voted in as Mayor at the recent Annual General Meeting of the Council and is the first British Asian female Mayor of Seaford. The chains of office were handed over by outgoing Mayor Councillor Linda Wallraven, who has held the position for the past two years with great distinction.

Councillor Adil said: ‘I feel honoured to be elected by my fellow councillors as the new Mayor of this historic town of Seaford. It is such a special place. I’d like to thank each and every member of the community who voted in the local elections, and all those who put their trust in me and the other recently elected councillors who now form the new Seaford Town Council. I feel proud that your representatives have the confidence in my ability to fulfil the important role of mayor. I look forward to working hard and enthusiastically with them all, to consolidate on past successes, and to achieve our vision of what needs to change for the good of our muchloved town.

‘I would also like to thank Councillor Linda Wallraven, the past mayor, for her long and dedicated service to the town over many years, and the significant contribution she has made to the community through her work and her charities. She is, and remains, a great asset to the town. Thank you again Councillor Wallraven.’

Councillor Adil brings a wealth of experience to the position, including a degree and Master’s degree in Law, and worked for more than six years for a human rights Non-Government Organisation in many areas providing advocacy and counselling services for the underprivileged and the victims of crime. She stated: ‘I am a people person and love helping others, empathising with and empowering those I meet in the best possible way’.

Councillor Adil has been living in Seaford with her family since 2012 and is currently the manager at Moon of India, the first ever Indian curry house in Seahaven

4

established since 1978.

Councillor Adil went on to say, ‘Because of the warmth, acceptance and opportunities that we have been offered by this friendly community, we feel really at home here, almost locals!

This positive feeling led to my decision to put myself forward to serve as a Councillor, and now I accept, with great pleasure and pride, the leading role offered to me as Mayor of Seaford, now my home town!

‘As the Mayor of Seaford I now have the responsibility and great opportunity to serve our town and help to safeguard our unique and beautiful position, enclosed as we are by the green of the downs and the blue of the sea. We can continue to promote Seaford Bay and the surrounding nature reserves to attract more visitors, both wild and human! I also want to support the Town Council, in partnership with others, to renovate the playgrounds in the town, promote sports and help local charities to generate funds to beautify the town and support our residents. I want to strengthen relationships with all local stakeholders so that we can work together for the benefit of the town and local community.

‘I know that I will need the help of all of my fellow councillors to achieve this, and can count on them sharing their skills, experience and areas of expertise.

But also I would like to say to all the lovely people of Seaford, “Let’s work together!” We can cooperate to change, preserve and protect our community.

‘My chosen charities for the term of office will be The Youth Counselling Project and the Downs Syndrome Development Trust and I hope everyone will fully support it. By coming together, we can all make a positive difference to the lives in our town. Together we can organise colourful, entertaining and educational events for us all to enjoy, whilst generating funds for different local projects. We already have popular local groups who are doing just that. Others work quietly and diligently in the background. Respect to you all. Each one of us can make a difference. ‘My slogan is “Together we can; together we will!” ’

Arts and cultural events in the Seaford area Welcome to the latest update on what’s going on in our vibrant town, compiled by Andrea Hargreaves.

Cinema

There are some great films at the Barn Theatre this month. Seaford Community Cinema is showing Best Picture and Original Writing Oscar winner Green Book (12A) on 5th July at 7.30pm, and is spicing up this drama comedy with some American Independence Day fun in the foyer. Mahershala Ali won the Best Supporting Actor BAFTA for his role as an African-American classical pianist on tour in 1962 who is restricted to places to stay listed in The Negro Motorist Green Book.

The matinée on Saturday 6th July is Oscar-winning Mary Queen of Scots (15) at 2.30pm. Directed by Josie Rourke, it stars Saoirse Ronan, Margot Robbie, Jack Lowden and David Tennant in this gorgeously filmed costume drama taken from John Guy’s biography. On Friday 12th July at 7.30pm is Disobedience (15), a film directed by Sebastián Lelio and starring Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams and Alessandro Nivola, about a woman who returns from New York to the Orthodox Jewish community in London that shunned her for her attraction to a female childhood friend; their passions reignite. The BAFTA-nominated Outstanding British Film of the Year, Stan & Ollie (PG), is being shown on Friday 19th July at 7.30pm. With John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan in the title parts, it tells how Laurel and Hardy attempt to restore their flagging film careers as they embark on what becomes their swan song, a gruelling theatre tour of post-war Britain.

Then, for one night only, the cinema is changing venue on Sunday 28th July for an open-air screen at Florence House, Southdown Road, where Oscar and BAFTAnominated Best Animated Feature Film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (PG) is being shown at 4pm followed by the Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga vehicle A Star is Born – which won the BAFTA for Best Original Music – at 7pm.

Seaford Natural History Society We’re half way through this year’s walks programme, and so far we’ve visited the foreshore at Peacehaven, the Sussex Wildlife Trust reserves at Woods Mill (April) and Rye Harbour (June), and looked for spring flowers around Belle Tout, the dawn chorus at Abbot’s Wood, orchids in Cradle Valley and butterflies at Knowlands Farm.

This month we have an outing to the RHS centre at Wisley (for members only), pond dipping at Crowlink pond with Natasha Sharma and a visit to Old Lodge Nature Reserve in Ashdown Forest with Derek Barber to look at dragonflies and generally explore this fascinating reserve. See the listing at the end of Seaford Scene for more details.You can find information about the rest of our 2019 programme on our website – www.seafordnaturalhistory.org.uk – or by phoning 01323 893526. We welcome visitors and prospective new members on our walks, which usually last about two and a half hours, and we suggest that visitors make a £3 donation. Unfortunately, we are unable to welcome dogs on our walks.

Out and about in the summer This is one of the best times of the year to see some of the 17 species of damselflies and 23 species of dragonflies resident in Britain – and to marvel at their amazing three-stage life cycle as they go from egg to larva to adult.

The Egg – female dragonflies lay hundreds of eggs in their lives. They may lay them in plant material, or in water and some damselflies submerge completely to lay their eggs, often using their still-attached partner to pull them up again afterwards. Most eggs take 2-5 weeks to hatch, but some don’t hatch until the following spring.

8

The Larva – tadpolelike creatures emerge from the eggs and then generally spend one to two years in the water.

They eat voraciously and moult between 5 to 14 times as they grow. They have six legs, wing sheaths, a hinged jaw which can shoot out and catch prey really quickly and they breathe under water. Their prey includes insect larvae, crustaceans, worms, snails, leeches, tadpoles and small fish.

Emergence – the larvae come out of the water and develop into dragonflies or damselflies in response to the longer days and warmer temperatures of spring and early summer. Final stage larvae sit in shallow water for a couple of days and start to breathe air. After finding a secure support (like a strong reed), they redistribute their body fluids to push the thorax, head, legs and wings out of the larval skin. Then they pause for about 30 minutes to allow their legs to harden enough for the next stage, when the abdomen is withdrawn. Next, the wings and then the abdomen are expanded and start to harden. This process leaves behind a cast skin, called an exuvia, and lasts for between an hour (damselflies) and three hours (dragonflies). This amazing process is something you can watch by a pond or river if you have a little patience.

The adult stage usually lasts for only a week or two, during which time dragonflies and damselflies mature – feeding away from water, and gradually acquiring their full colouring and becoming sexually mature. Then they move back to water to breed, mate on the wing, and lay their eggs. They are best seen flying on sunny days by water although if you look carefully on cloudy or rainy days you will see them resting in vegetation.

If you would like to find out more about dragonflies and damselflies there is a lot on the web, including the British Dragonfly Society site (https://british-dragonflies.org. uk/content/biology-ecology), the source of much of this information.

SEAHAVEN BRANCH, THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ST GEORGE A busy week for the Seahaven Branch of the Royal Society of St George (RSSG).

The busy week started on Wednesday 29th May when the Chairman of The Royal Society of St George, Joanna Cadman, visited the branch to complete twenty miles of her aim to walk 125 miles this year with different branches to commemorate the 125th anniversary of our Royal Society. The walk was ‘up the Ouse and down the Cuckmere’.

The Star Inn at Alfriston was the halfway point for lunch. Under her guidance are nearly 100 branches worldwide and many individual members. The walk that day raised just over £200 for the Forces Charity, Combat Stress.

At the Star during lunch Ann Blight, who runs the Starfish Project for recovering stammerers, joined the group so that branch President, Laurie Holland, could present a new telephone system to her for the Project’s office. This vital and worthwhile project to help give life-changing guidance and help to so many is one that the Seahaven Branch has often helped with gifts over the years.

Then on Friday 31st May members of the branch attended the Joint Committee (Seaford Town and RSSG) for the Veterans and Armed Forces Day where the arrangements for the event were finalised. The event on Saturday 29th June is for the whole of the District of Lewes with surrounding towns and villages.

The next gift was on Sunday 2nd June when Laurie Holland and Chairman Bob Peedle MBE visited the Polegate Oaks Miniature Railway. A few weeks before vandals hit the railway and did much damage. The Seahaven Branch decided to replace the broken Railway Station Clock. It was a great afternoon’s visit

12

where the facilities of the railway and its accompanying miniature rail layout were shown off. The Railway is open, free, on many Sunday afternoons (see their web site for details), when this delightful community facility is available for old and young alike.

Finally on Monday evening, the 3rd June, Bob Peedle accompanied by Treasurer Jan White and Vice Chairman Ann Abbott, attended the Denton Village Hall to present the Denton Challenge Committee with rosettes for the following Saturday’s event. Bob and other members of the branch were present on the day to present the rosettes and certificates to the youngsters who achieve the challenges.

Saturday 8th June will be another busy day for the Seahaven Branch because that evening a formal dinner is being held at the Best Western Lansdowne Hotel in Eastbourne.

This is to celebrate the official birthday of the RSSG Royal Patron, HM The Queen, as well as to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of D Day. Speaking after the dinner will be branch member Colonel Keith Barker TD who is a D Day veteran. Not only was that day 75 years ago a birthday of his, but he also received his fourth wound of the war and was later awarded a Mention in Despatches for his bravery.

Following this dinner, the next major event for the Seahaven Branch is a 125th Anniversary Banquet on Saturday 27th July at the Peacehaven Masonic Centre.

Seaford Photographic Society The final month of the season kicked off with an informal competition for small prints (max 7” by 5”), judged by club members. Jack Taylor produced the most popular photo, with Anna-Marie Armstrong, Janice Hewitt and Colin Mitchell all in joint-2nd place.

It was then on to the last two competitions of the year, for the coveted Print of the Year and PDI (Projected Digital Image) of the Year trophies.

The 36 entries for Print of the Year were assessed by Helen Taylor ARPS DPAGB BPE3*. Helen is a very highly qualified judge and professional photographer, and members appreciated her comprehensive analysis and critique of the images. The winner’s trophy went to Julian Purkis for his striking black and white print of the Seven Sisters, proving again that you don’t necessarily have to travel to exotic locations to take winning photos.

Chris Dawson took 2nd and 3rd places.

We were fortunate to have professional photographer Kirsty Ralfs ARPS QGP, who came all the way down from Whitstable in Kent, to judge the PDI of the Year competition. Again, there were 36 images entered.

The winning photo was ‘The Long Climb Home’ by Chris Dawson, taken in the remote mountain village of Apiranthos, on the Greek island of Naxos. Second place went to Cathryn Mantovani’s photo of a ski drag lift at Val D’Isere in France, which had already won a competition earlier in the year on the subject of ‘Transport’. In third place was Thelma

14

Long’s very creative and slightly surreal image of the clocks at Canary Wharf, which had also done well in an earlier competition.

The penultimate meeting of the year was as much a social event as a photographic one. A bunch of us drove up to South Barn and had a stroll down to Hope Gap and over to Cuckmere Haven. There were some wildlife enthusiasts among us, so a few long lenses were in evidence, but the light wasn’t conducive to getting any really good photos. It was a very pleasant way to spend an evening though.

Now for some news about what’s been going on a bit further afield. Following on from their successes at the KCPA annual exhibition, three photos by Jack Taylor and two by Chris Dawson were chosen to represent the KCPA in the PAGB/Sony Inter-Federation Competition.

Congratulations to Jack and Chris for getting their photos entered into this national competition. For a bit of background, the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB) is the national organisation that co-ordinates activities for around 1,000 photographic clubs in the UK. It does this through 15 geographical Federations, of which The Kent County Photographic Association (KCPA) is the one that covers Kent, parts of East Sussex and Southeast London. The KCPA has about 50 affiliated member clubs, including Seaford Photographic Society (SPS).

Next month’s newsletter will feature details of the last meeting of the season – the annual AGM and presentation of awards. We are now in our summer break and the new season starts on 6th September.

Does Your Home Pass the 30-Second Test?

We live in a World where we are bombarded with never-ending streams of information to process. And that overload is leading to people making snap judgments more than ever.

We see it here at Newberry Tully when people view a property. In a lot of cases people make up their mind about a property within 30 seconds. It’s a combination of potential buyers forming an initial opinion by looking at photos of the property online, then when they turn up for the viewing, it’s what the property looks like outside, the condition of the front door and the hallway. We’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve heard people say “We love it” or “it’s not for us” within half a minute of walking into a property.

Thinking of Selling?

So, does your home pass the 30-second test?

Answer these four simple questions to find out...

If you are putting your home on the market, have you had a major declutter ahead of when an agent arranges professional photos? We always use a local professional to capture images of your home looking l

its best. YES / NO Are all exterior fittings such as garden baskets, paving stones and even the doorbell in good working order? Little things get noticed by viewers and go towards forming an overall and almost instant opinion. YES / NO l

Stephen Newberry

Andrew Tully

If you have a lawn, has it been mowed recently?

You want people to look at it and think ‘that looks nice’ rather than ‘that looks like even more work for us to do’. If you don’t have a lawn think about any communal/entrance points to your property, are l

they tidy? YES / NO Have you cleaned your front door in the last six weeks? Do you have a clean welcome mat outside l

the door? YES / NO If you’ve answered NO to some of the questions, your property would likely fail the 30 second test in most viewers’ eyes. But don’t despair, with a few simple remedies and the advice of experienced estate agents like us, you’ll soon be passing the same test with flying colours. Thanks for reading,

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 Barwells Solicitors, 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.

Sussex Arts Collective COLLECTIONS FIVE 10am - 4pm (Mon - Sat, closed Weds), 12 noon - 3pm (Sun), Thursday 4th July - Tuesday 30th July, Crypt Gallery, 23 Church Street. Free.

COLLECTIONS FIVE is the last of Sussex Arts Collective’s inspiring art and craft shows before they temporarily adjourn to Lewes House on School Hill, Lewes, in August to hold their Artwave 2019 extravaganza.

If you have frequently passed through the gallery in the last four months and will miss their presence, not to worry, the Collective returns to the newly-named Cuckmere Room at the Crypt Gallery in September to conclude its year-long residency, culminating in a spectacular Christmas show, MERRILY! The group has been delighted with how things have progressed: increasing visitor numbers to the gallery by tenfold, maintaining continuous and free access to the listed ancient undercroft, and being able to host such varied and exciting artwork from so many of our fantastic Sussex artists.

Phil Duncan says, ‘Visitors have been so enthusiastic and we are indebted to the Crypt Trustees who have been so accommodating. It is now hoped that this success will encourage other independent artists and groups to make more use of the main Flint Room gallery’.

Nick Orsborn RI

Returning to the COLLECTIONS show in July will be Nick Orsborn, watercolourist and creator of Cicada Jewellery. Long associated with the Collective, Nick was one of the first artist-makers to exhibit at its inception, 13 years ago.

He will be familiar to those who knew his emporium in the North Laines, Brighton, and more recently his Artist’s Open House in Stanmer Villas as a part of the Fiveways Group.

22

Born in London in 1948, Nick studied Fine Art at Kingston and Reigate Colleges of Art and has lived in Sussex since 1970.

Largely self-taught in the use of watercolour, it has been his medium of choice for the past 48 years. His work has been widely exhibited in the UK, and fine art poster images of his watercolours have been distributed and sold worldwide over the past two decades. His figurative paintings are largely concerned with expressing the joy of life, often from a perspective of humour and gentle irony. In 2007 he was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours (RI), and he exhibits paintings each year at the RI Annual Exhibition at The Mall Galleries, London.

Between 1975 and 1985 his jewellery wholesaled throughout the world and his UK buyers included Biba, Liberty and The Body Shop.

He was commissioned to work in resin for Zandra Rhodes and the BBC. In 1980 the Crafts Council of Great Britain showcased Cicada Jewellery at the ICA Galleries.The V&A and Brighton and Hove Museums all have examples of Cicada Jewellery in their collections. Nick makes every piece of jewellery himself in his Brighton studio.

Cicada Jewellery is available in strictly limited quantities and sold only at exhibitions and Artists’ Open Houses.

For information about the COLLECTIONS exhibitions or Nick Orsborn contact info@sussexartscollective.com; join the Crypt Gallery mailing list; and look up websites www. sussexartscollective.com, www.thecryptgallery.com and www.nickorsborn.com.

Seaford Little Theatre

Not now darling

Friday 26th July - Saturday 3rd August The setting for this uproarious farce, by Ray Cooney and John Chapman, is the elegant fur salon of Bodley, Bodley and Crouch (Director Garry Fowler is keen to point out that no real fur is used in the play).

The set will reflect the salon owners’ aspirations with opulent drapes and marble columns – a very flamboyant area decorated in the best possible taste.

A hilarious time ensues as infidelity is attempted and possibly thwarted through various permutations and entanglements until everyone gets their just desserts.

Seaford Little Theatre promises a fun-filled evening and looks forward to welcoming its audiences.

Performances start at 7.45pm weekdays, 2.30pm Saturdays (no Sunday performance). Tickets generally available from 5th July from Redgolds the opticians in Broad Street.

East Blatchington Lectures

It’s Showtime!

To mark the end of this year’s very successful series of East Blatchington Lectures, an unusual programme has been conceived for Tuesday 2nd July, at St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, Seaford.

Instead of the customary talk there will be a triple bill of well-known performers in a salute to Seaford’s drama companies.

Another monologue will be performed by one of the town’s best-known estate agents, who will be swapping business chat for a theatrical chat. Cue Stephen Newberry of Newberry Tully (and Little Theatre) fame.

The third member of this intrepid trio will be Graham Tubb, who is promising his very own salute with a characteristic musical turn. Songs, chat and laughter are guaranteed.

This promises to be a dazzling finale to this year’s series, which again has proved so popular and has raised hundreds of pounds for the church.

It is very much Seaford’s show, and everyone is invited. Tickets are £7, which includes refreshments and some of the best cakes in the town, available as usual from the estate agents Newberry Tully at 53 Church Street, Seaford (where you might see one of the performers in person), and on the door.

So it will be curtain up for Sue Shepherd, often seen in productions at the Little Theatre, who will present a monologue.

Seaford Head School Greenpower Racing Team

equipment that we will need to make our car the best it can be!

All of this would not have been possible without the amazing help from every teacher involved, who gave up their weekends to enable us to attend these races, as well as parents for helping organise the team and donate time to help work on the car. We would also like to say a massive thank you to our sponsors, who make this possible by giving us money to support us!

Over the past year, Seaford Head School students have been working on building an electric racing car to meet the Greenpower regulations. Greenpower is a trust which helps inspire young engineers by creating the challenge to design, build and race a small electric car. Events are held on Sundays every two months, and take place at racing circuits across the country such as Silverstone, Rockingham and Goodwood. The aim is to build the car which completes the most laps in 90 minutes on one set of batteries. All cars consist of two 12V car batteries, and a motor manufactured by Greenpower. Apart from this and a few other safety regulations, the design is up to you!

Harvey Jenkins, on behalf of the Seaford Head Greenpower Team Photo: The Seaford Head School Greenpower racing team with their car.

Kingfisher Kingfisher LLuxury uxury TTravel ravel

A group of 5 students from across the school’s years have been working on building a Greenpower car and, a few weeks ago, we took the car to Goodwood Motor Circuit for our first race. Upon arrival, we found our ‘pit’ and began to set up a temporary workshop for the day. We then went to ‘scrutineering’ where they checked the cars to make sure that they are safe and comply with all the rules and regulations. After this, we entered the track for our two races. Unfortunately, our car ran into power issues, causing the batteries to only last for three laps! It was only then that we were told that our batteries and motor were the ones from 2010. In our second race we managed to achieve 9 laps, enabling us to gain the title of Fastest Newcomers.

Thanks to our sponsors (IB Vogt, Chaverys, AMG Nursing and Care, Sussex Cars and Bayham Motors) we were able to purchase two new sets of batteries and a 2019 motor, which are more efficient and faster than the previous year’s ones, allowing us to achieve speeds of over 30 mph. We also hope to shortly move into our new workshop which, also with the help of our sponsors, we are kitting out with tools and

Seaford Youth Forum On 5th March, Seaford Youth Forum hosted an event to celebrate International Women’s Day. We wanted to spread awareness to show what women have been through over the centuries, and to show what they have and can achieve in the modernday world. We had lots of arts and crafts available to participate in, including drawings inspired by Georgia O’Keefe, learning how use a sewing machine, making our own jewellery, and tombola. Many other things were available and we all had a really nice night. We were impressed with the turnout of people and were surprised by the amount of support we got. People came from around the county, from as far away as Battle, and different generations attended.

CYCLE SEAHAVEN One of our members, Chris Girder, decided to take on the epic challenge of cycling solo from Land’s End to John O’Groats – not sure if alcohol was included in the decision making but here is part one of his A-Z Guide of the journey.

Attitude: In the

beginning I was hopeful and optimistic, some might say delusional, towards the task I was approaching. Some were right in that I had underestimated how challenging cycling just under 1,000 miles in 9 days with a 33kg load would be. My attitude went from positive, through to murderous rage at inanimate objects and faceless internet organisations regarding route maps! It included despair, hopelessness, feeling elated and a strong personal reassurance (telling off).

Bike: I chose a steel-framed bike with pannier rack, mud guards, disc brakes, dynamo lights, Brooks saddle and marathon tyres. I also used 2 panniers, 1 roll-top bag for top of rack, handlebar bag, frame bag, 2 water bottles, 1 tool bottle, old iPhone as a sat nav, speedometer, and a brass bell (very useful).

Cumbria: A beautiful area of the country, where I was amazed to see my first ever red squirrels. The view was so beautiful I nearly forgot about all the hills.

Descents: Such epic descents! My favourite lasted about 3 miles towards the end of a day’s cycling, heading for the place I was staying – such a relief. There were many fast and flowing downhills that were very welcome after the many hill climbs.

Encouragement from family, friends, particularly Cycle Seahaven members who offered verbal support/words of advice/encouragement to such an extent I never felt alone.

Food: I had a cooked breakfast (vegetarian) most days

and always had Huel nutritional food mixed with water

40

along with a protein bar, and in the evening, dinner. By the end of my trip my daily food intake had tripled.

Goal: My goal was not only to complete the ride

and obtain hero status for life to ensure permanent sustenance for my ego, more importantly it was to raise much needed funds for Mankind – an organisation based in Brighton that supports men therapeutically who have experienced unwanted sexual contact (www.mkcharity. org).

Hero status: As above, and part of what helped me keep going!

Ignorance: Similar to delusion with regards to

geographical knowledge! I had no clue where I was or where I was going without Google maps but I never got concerned about what was ahead – this was fortunate.

John O’Groats: Having not been before I pictured a

sign post on the edge of a cliff and not much else. What a stunning place. Remote, and when I was there, gale force winds and torrential rain – not the welcome finish I was after really.

Kindness: People I met were very kind to me, particularly the staff at the Royal Forester Inn at Bewdley.

They provided me with extra food and access to a vast first aid kit for my wounds.

Lands End: Start of the journey and unknown to me but a taste of what was to come – wind, which was against me throughout the whole trip.

Many hills: the most memorable or traumatising, Tombstone Lane in Cornwall. I should’ve considered rock climbing equipment to get up it! Another was the first hill after Wookey Hole caves, which was about 3 miles long and got steeper as it went up!

Nearly there: the last 17 miles from Wick to John

O’Groats were the hardest of all, with gale force winds and torrential rain, leaving me cycling head down, in first gear for 3 hours!

Outstretched: My ability! This was certainly a test for

my mental and physical strength, which very nearly broke me. What helped (along with support from people at home) was my collection of 90s albums on iTunes, Audible from Amazon with various audiobooks, and sugar.

Part two, P to Z, will continue in the August Issue of Seaford Scene...

“The sound of the singing bowl touches the deepest part of us and makes the soul resonate. The sound promotes relaxation, mobilises self healing and can release our creative energy.” Peter Hess Are you searching for relaxation, regeneration or inner harmony?

Would you like to enjoy a sound massage? Then experience the Peter Hess® Sound Massage!

A sound massage is suitable for people of all ages, with or without disabilities.

A Peter Hess® Sound Massage can be helpful for various situations and for people who suffer with different conditions. You can try a massage for example, for stress, pain, high blood pressure, dementia, before/after an operation, to regain confidence or simply to give yourself a gift.

During a sound massage, an atmosphere of safety and security is created in which it is possible to let go of everyday life. Gentle and harmonious sounds are absorbed and quickly lead to deep relaxation. The rhythmic sound vibrations are transmitted to the body and produce a subtle vibration which is a kind of “massage”. In this pleasant atmosphere the often circling thoughts will come to rest. These are prerequisites for health in the holistic sense and the basis for the creation of a joyful, self-determined and creative life.

The (re)perception of one’s own body, the (newly) developing awareness of oneself is a gift to yourself!

44

You can book individual sound massages, sound baths and sound journeys for single, couple or group sessions.

In May we were entertained by a fantastic demonstrator, Pat McDonald, who staged a demonstration entitled ‘It will Be An Adventure’, inspired by some of her life experiences, events which she described colourfully. The competition ‘Something Different’ gave club members the chance to display foliage and flowers in many ways.

The foam that has been used in flower arranging for years is not biodegradable. New foams are now being developed and are on the market that are increasingly biodegradable, but there are other methods of display – water-filled tubes, wire spikes, moss etc. The title ‘Something Different’ gave us all the opportunity to explore these other methods and learn new techniques.

We meet at the Baptist Church Hall in Belgrave Road, Seaford. BN25 2EE on the third Thursday of each month (except January) at 2pm. Our fees for this year are £29 and visitors are always very welcome at £5 on the door which includes refreshments. Contact Mary Morris on 01323 893899 or Sue Ward on 01323 894848 for further details.

Seaford Little Theatre

The Thrill of Love

When Dennis Picott directs a play you can guarantee that it won’t be what you might expect. The man behind last year’s The 39 Steps and 2017’s Ladies’ Day did not just maintain but surpassed his imaginative gift for innovative handling of plot, cast and special effects on a small stage. What’s more he took a calculated risk, in a cast of five, in introducing three players making their Seaford debuts.

The play concerns Ruth Ellis, who in 1955 was hanged for killing her lover and was the last person to receive capital punishment in the UK, her execution being seen by many as a shocking example of the savagery of the law.

Playwright Amanda Whittington constructed this drama about the apparently remorseless 28-year-old blonde bombshell who readily confesses to murdering her racing driver boyfriend by telling it through the fictional detective who hears her confession.

He realises that Ruth has suffered domestic violence and sexual exploitation at the hands of others and believes she should be standing trial for manslaughter instead.

Yes, this play is complex, requiring the actors to make the audience feel what is not said rather than rely on words alone, but Picott surely knew what he was doing when he selected Leona Davide to play Ellis, Simon Fox to take on policeman Jack Gale and Rebecca Kite to play Ruth’s

50

friend Vickie Martin. Davide, who has performed with the Alfriston Players and recently appeared in The Merchant of Venice in Lewes, used her body to reveal held-in emotion that her brittle, sometimes flip, lines fail to express. For my money Fox was the star of the show though, his considerable acting experience since 2008 paying dividends here. On stage the whole time, he is often a bystander to Ruth’s story as he tries to understand her motive for murder with compassion just under the surface of his detective’s veneer, and to question witnesses who might be able to throw light onto Ellis’s state of mind. Kite, who first appeared for Meeching Amateur Dramatics in 2005, proved herself a talented addition to Seaford’s players.

The newbies must have appreciated having two experienced Seaford actors on stage with them, the excellent Sharon Besant as ‘gentleman’s’ club owner Sylvia Shaw, whose nose becomes less hard as Gale continues to question her, and the always able Clare Forshaw as her warm-hearted cleaner, who cares for Ruth and the club’s ‘girls’.

Unusually for Little Theatre productions I heard the prompt’s voice several times, but this was nothing compared to the disturbance of a couple of mobile phones in the audience, and the moving of props by black-clad stage hands might have been accomplished more smoothly if the actors had done it. Carping aside, this production, its fine actors and its clever set worked well and deserved to receive its lengthy ovation. Picott’s bravery and imagination paid off and it’s exciting to see more daring theatre.

martello rotary club

Riding for the Disabled

Sarah Groom is both Chairman and Coach at Riding for the Disabled, which started in 2010 and is run entirely by volunteers for children aged 4 -16 with physical and learning disabilities. They meet on Wednesday afternoons at Winton Grange Paddocks near Alfriston, where the children can experience the pleasure, independence and therapeutic benefits of riding. Following her recent visit to the Martello club, we decided to make a donation to cover the cost of some new tack, and so on a sunny afternoon in May some Martello members made their way to the venue just outside Alfriston and were shown the activities by Sarah and her volunteer team members.

Alfriston Primary School Football Tournament 2019

Alfriston Primary School has run a football tournament for the past three years, inviting teams from all over East Sussex to take part. Martello Rotary provided the trophy and this year’s event took place in May at the Downs Leisure Centre. The Final was played between East Hoathly and Alfriston, and with the score level at full time, it went to a penalty shoot-out, with the visitors taking the cup. President-Elect Rodney Reed presented individual trophies to members of both teams.

56

Seaford Youth Forum

The club had a visit from representatives of Seaford Youth Forum who told us all about their activities. They meet at the Mercread Centre, and one of their aims is to raise funds to provide 14 bike racks and bike repair kits to be situated by Martello Museum and also at Dane Road (Salts end). They are keen to encourage activity for all age groups, and basketball, table tennis, sea swimming and cheerleading are the most popular activities.The club subsequently decided to make a donation of £240 towards the bike maintenance racks and other facilities.

Down Syndrome Development Trust

Sen Smallwood, from the Down Syndrome Development Trust had visited the Martello Rotary Club earlier in the year and told us about their plans to hold a Summer Camp at Cradle Hill School. They already hold a regular weekly music session at Cradle Hill School where President-Elect Rodney Reed presented a donation for £300 at the music session. These funds are going to be used towards the cost of running the Summer Camp.

The Martello Rotary Club welcomes new members and if you would like more information email us at: contactseafordmartellorotary@gmail.com or text on 07984 581784 Photos from top: Roger Daw with Seaford Youth Forum team members (l-r)Emma, Abigail, Thomas and Hayden; PresidentElect, Rodney Reed presents a cheque to Riding for the Disabled group; President-Elect Rodney presents a cheque to the Down Syndrome Development Trust group at Cradle Hill School; Martello members Rodney Reed and John Windsor with Alfriston School Football team.

Seaford U3A News

The members of Seaford U3A were very pleased to welcome the new Mayor of Seaford, Cllr Nazish Adil and her consort to a birthday party to celebrate thirty years of the U3A in the town. The celebration buffet was held at Seaford Golf Club and a good number of members attended. It was interesting to see some scrapbooks of old photos and newspaper cuttings which had been created for the occasion and a beautiful patchwork quilt of Seaford scenes made by U3A members, which usually hangs in Seaford Museum. One of the founder members was able to attend and cut the celebration cake with the Mayor. Everyone who attended appeared to enjoy the celebration.

In July Seaford U3A offers some opportunities for non-members to meet members and see whether they would like to join the U3A. This is particularly appropriate at this time of year as the committee is working hard to put on a programme of groups, outings and talks which will begin in September or October.

On 6th July the U3A Book Fair will take place at St Leonards Church Hall between 10am and 12 noon.

There will be a wide variety of second-hand books to buy and refreshments. This is open to all.

On Wednesday 17th July at the Con Club, Crouch Lane, the Coffee Morning runs from 10am to 12 noon.

This must be the cheapest coffee break in town at £2 for coffee and biscuits but no problem with quality here!

This again is for members and non-members. If you are one of the latter mention it as you enter and you can be introduced to some of the members.

On 25th July at the Downs Leisure Centre from 2pm to 4pm. there is the annual Open Meeting. Anyone thinking of joining the U3A would be well advised to join members here in finding out what groups and talks will be available in the new season. Most of the group leaders will be there to tell you what they are planning and when they start. This meeting is not for actually signing up for the groups – that comes later –but you can get information here and see the range of groups on offer.

The groups – when they start – mostly take place in members’ houses and usually consist of about six to eight members. Some might be intensive weekly meetings or others may be monthly, depending on the group leader. Sometimes they are self-taught, exploring a subject jointly, but other groups might be led by a member who has a specific skill or training in the subject they choose. There is usually a small charge. These groups not only further members’ wider knowledge but also enable members to get to know each other better over the meetings.

For present members the pub lunches will continue into the summer and this month’s will be on 31st July.

There is also an outing for members to the Chelsea Physic Garden, a 4-acre garden in the heart of London, set out for growing medicinal herbs in 1673.

For more information about Seaford U3A and also about its linked organisations, Sussex U3A Network (SUN) and SE U3A Region see the website www. u3asites.org.uk/seaford. To find out about membership check this website or ring 01323 899572 or come along to a coffee morning and have a chat.

Neighbourhood Watch Roundup

Following reports of several thefts from homes, we have some firstclass advice from Neighbourhood Watch Federation for keeping your home and belongings safe.

Remember: most burglaries are opportunistic. To stay safe, always close and lock doors and windows when you go out – even if just for a short time – and when you go to bed at night. Don’t forget doors into garages or conservatories. Make sure your locks and security measures comply with your insurance requirements.

More information can be found at securedbydesign.com and locksmiths.co.uk.

To avoid being burgled keep keys, including shed

and car keys, in a place where they’re not visible to anyone looking in. Don’t leave keys in the door and never hide a spare key outside. Keep valuables hidden and not visible from windows. Take photos of your valuable items for insurance purposes and keep them with your policy. Window locks and visible burglar alarms can act as a deterrent to criminals, as can well placed Neighbourhood Watch stickers on front and back doors. Never leave packaging from new goods visible with your general rubbish. Criminals may see it and target your property. Draw curtains in the evening and leave your lights on a timer switch if you’re going out. Make sure one light is on upstairs. Never give your Seaford Scene is a completely independent small business.

keys to anyone you do not know well. Change the locks when you move house so that you know exactly who has keys. Never keep large amounts of cash in the house ,and consider keeping expensive jewellery, house deeds and other important items in a home safe anchored to the brickwork. Register valuable items free of charge with immobilise.com, a property register that helps police identify your property and catch criminals.

Garden security is very important, as the garden is

an access point into your home. Make sure to secure your garden with lockable gates and walls or substantial fencing. Thorny plants around the perimeter and trellis on top of fences make it harder for an intruder to access your garden. Also, keep your ladder and garden tools locked away, as they can be used by burglars to access your home.

When you go away don’t publish your absence on

the internet. Status updates, comments and photos on social media can all give away the fact that you are out of your home for an extended period. Make sure your alarm, if you have one, is set. Put lights on a timer switch to make your house look occupied. Make sure you include at least one upstairs light.You can also get a ‘fake TV’ which can be put on a timer and which gives out a flickering light to mimic a TV. This is an excellent deterrent if placed out of sight lines. Ask a neighbour to push post through your letterbox and take in any deliveries for you. Cancel milk, newspapers and other deliveries if you can. Ask a neighbour to park a car on your drive so that passers-by assume someone is at home. If you have a close friend or relative nearby with a key, ask them to draw your curtains in the evening and back in the morning. Don’t leave the curtains drawn during the day. Lastly, don’t display your home address on the outside of your luggage.

It seems like an awful lot to keep track of, but once a safety routine is entrenched, it becomes second nature and a savvy home is a safer one.

Remember to stay sharp as a tack when unexpected callers come knocking. Make sure your No Cold Calling sticker is well visible at your front door and don’t be shy to point this out to cold callers. If a caller will not leave or if you feel intimidated, dial 999 immediately.

Never let anyone into your home without first establishing their credentials. If you haven’t asked for a

home visit by a company or a tradesman and are not expecting someone to call on you, be doubly vigilant.

While you are being distracted at the front door, an accomplice could be helping himself to the contents of your shed or garage or worse, letting themselves in the back door. Rather be thought of as rude than become a statistic. If a caller is genuine, they won’t mind you checking their identity at all.

Joining the Neighbourhood Watch is also a deterrent, and an active and visible Neighbourhood watch has been proven to reduce crime significantly. The NHW is about you; it starts on your street, looking out for yourselves and each other and collectively being Great Neighbours to keep our town safe. Please keep reporting every incident. Our eyes and ears are helping the Police tremendously, and compared to other Sussex towns, we remain one of the safest in the county. So please keep on being Great Neighbours.

Our thanks again to our neighbours for your loyal support. Carry on being generous with your smiles, your care for yourselves and each other, and above all, be safe.

Happy Birthday Seaford Head This year we’re celebrating 50 years of Seaford Head local nature reserve. We’re having a special celebration Open Day on Saturday 13th July (see details at the end of this article). Of course if we were being technically accurate we would be celebrating Seaford Head’s 90,000,000th anniversary – (give or take a few million years here and there – but when you get to that age, who’s counting?!). If you took me back in time to the birth of Seaford Head around 90 million years ago I’d be busy avoiding hungry 10-metre-long mosasaurs and other aquatic monsters as I cruised through a shallow sea. But it would be much smaller prehistoric organisms that would shape Seaford. The calcium shells from microscopic marine algae floating in the sea slumped to the sea floor and millions of years of pressure and

erosion moulded them into the curvaceous chalk hills that form the familiar foundations of the South Downs.

Erosion throughout the ages has formed the iconic Seaford Head landscape.

It’s only feels like yesterday (well, about 6,500 years ago) that we humans showed up and got to work doing what we do best – destroying stuff. The wild Seaford woods were chopped down and eventually sheep grazing became the dominant activity on the cleared hills for many centuries. The sheep-nibbled short downland turf is an internationally rare habitat, rich in flowers and the creatures that depend on them.

We’ll be celebrating these creatures and Seaford Head all day on Saturday 13th July. Look for our stand in the car park at South Hill Barn. Starting at 10am there will be a series of guided walks, giving you the opportunity to learn more about the birds, butterflies, bugs and management of the reserve. There’s a chance to go rockpooling, and children can take part in a bug hunt or pick up a spotter’s sheet and try to spot 50 things on the reserve and enter a draw for a prize. Come along and join in the Open day celebrations. Look for more details and event timings at sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/ whats-on Photo by Sam Roberts.

SEA SUNDAY Our 2019 ‘Sea Sunday’ Service at St Andrew’s Church, Bishopstone Village, will be celebrated on 14th July 2018 at 10.15am and will be in aid of The Mission to Seafarers as usual.

Visit: http://www.missiontoseafarers.org/Pages/ Category/sea-sunday We cordially invite you and your friends to join us for this annual service, for which this year’s theme is ‘Quietly Saving Lives’. The service will be conducted in the presence of The Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex, Mr Peter Field. Our guest preacher will be the Reverend Arwen Folkes, recently installed as Rector of the United Benefice of St Peter’s Church, East Blatchington, and St Andrew’s Church, Bishopstone Village.

The purpose of this celebration is to provide a few moments for us as an island nation to reflect upon our dependence on the sea, and for the bountiful fruits that it supplies as a safe thoroughfare and a source of a unique harvest for us on a daily basis. It is a moment during the course of the year when we also give thanks for all those who sacrifice a traditional home life for servicing our needs upon the sea, and the other dangerous services that are conducted thereon.

The Mission to Seafarers supports seafarers in need in over 260 ports in 71 countries around the world, through its global network of chaplains and volunteers who offer a warm welcome, practical and financial support, advocacy services, access to legal advice and family liaison. Life at sea can be dangerous and lonely.

The work of a seafarer is one of the most difficult and

challenging jobs in the world today, away from family and friends for months or even years at a time. Seafaring can be a tough, isolated and hazardous career.

We particularly welcome representatives from our local maritime organisations and emergency services who acquit themselves so well during maritime incidents so close to our parish. So we extend a warm invitation to you and your friends to attend our service this year, and we can assure you that all will receive a warm welcome at this annual service in Bishopstone Village.

The service will be followed by refreshments served in the Bishopstone Village Hall adjacent to the church.

WAVES Receives national Lottery funding Local community group, WAVES Family Support is celebrating after being awarded ÂŁ10,000 National Lottery funding to support its work with families in Seaford and surrounding area. The group, based in Church Street, Seaford will use the cash to fund the appointment of our new Community Outreach Worker.

WAVES Family Support is a charity set up in 1999 to make a real difference to the lives of families in Seaford.

To achieve this we rely on our part-time family worker and our newly appointed Community Outreach Worker. In addition to our two part-time staff we rely on our 20+ volunteers.

The work of WAVES runs from our Drop-In Centre in Church Street Seaford. The Drop In Centre is open four mornings a week (Monday to Thursday) from

The new funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, which distributes money raised by National Lottery players for good causes and is the largest community funder in the UK, will enable WAVES to fund this much needed post. As well as starting the new Drop-In, our new appointtee is planning to organize the provision of lunches for disadvantaged families on six occasions during the school summer holidays and hopefully during future school holidays.

She is also planning to start a Bumps to Babies Group and to run parenting programmes to support families in Seaford.

WAVES will continue to support all families in Seaford through our family worker and the availability of the Drop-In Centre in the town centre. The Trustee/ Directors are delighted that the National Lottery Community Fund has recognised our work in this way.

Now thanks to the National Lottery we will be able to continue and expand this work.

Twin Choirs wow large Seaford Audience On Friday 31st May 160 people packed Seaford Baptist Church for a Midsummer Musical Miscellany by SBC’s own Singers, and the ‘Come Together’ Pop Choir from twin town Bönningstedt in Germany.

Also included were solo spots by Rosemary Kemp (Piano), Liz Machin (Clarinet), and schoolgirl Alice** on flute, piano and on a Chinese Guzheng.

Peter Fickweiler, a long-standing member of the Church, sang a moving solo in “You Raise Me Up”, and another in “I Then Shall Live”.

The Bönningstedt Choir, who have sung with the Seaford Silver Band and Archway Choirs on previous visits, were directed by Jan Lehmann. Their programme, mainly in English, but also in German and Japanese, included Pop and Gospel. The 23 choir members spent four days in Seaford, enjoying the beach and surrounding countryside.

joined them in songs by Abba and The Carpenters.

Other songs included popular hymns and numbers from musicals.

The grand finale was a rendition by both choirs and the audience of all five verses of ‘Sussex by the Sea’.

A retiring collection was divided between the Pop Choir for its expenses, and the Church for its outreach work. In a generous gesture the Choir gave 50% of its share back to the Church. The ‘Come Together’ Choir have already asked to return in two years time!

Rotary club of seaford

Bluebell Walk and Farm Trail

Another year of fantastic bluebells at the Bates Green Farm, Arlington; stunning blues and tranquillity.

We were again privileged to have the opportunity to provide the refreshments for two days (2nd and 3rd May) at the Bluebell Walk. Mixed weather presented us with times of hectic preparations and manic moments in the kitchen and then times of little action. Planning and catering for the Bluebell Walk is rather unpredictable, as the success of the day depends entirely on the weather and of course the state of the bluebells.

As usual none of this would be possible without our excellent catering and support team and cake makers.

This year our cake display was fantastic, ranging from Rocky Road to beautifully iced cakes. The farmer congratulated us on our display and even put pictures of the cakes on Instagram. This year we also provided our visitors with a selection of gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan cakes which were much appreciated. Our table clearers and washer uppers were as cheerful as ever, and great efforts were made to ensure continuous supplies of clean china and cutlery, especially at peak times.

a large amount of depression and anxiety among children and teenagers, and many are self-harming or have an eating disorder.

The Youth Counselling Project provides school-based counselling by specialist counsellors trained to work with young people and their particular needs, and works closely with parents and schools to ensure that each student receives appropriate support tailored to their needs.

We believe that this organisation does an excellent job in alleviating some of these problems and we decided to support them, and so on Wednesday 1st May President Steven Willox, accompanied by Youth Services Chair Paul Vaesen, presented a cheque to Clive Lacey of the Youth Counselling Project to pay for one student from the School to take part in a counselling programme of ten sessions.

On thanking the Rotary Club, Headteacher Bob Ellis said the gift and the support of the Club made a terrific difference, and Steven commented that it was sad that it should be necessary to have to make the donation to provide this much needed help.

SEND Get Set Club presentation

On Thursday 9th May, Steven Willox, accompanied by Paul Vaesen met up with Rodney Reed, Vice President of Seaford Martello Rotary to present donations to Anna Jones of Wave Leisure at the weekly Get Set Club.

Making sure there is enough help to cover the shifts from the gate house to the loo cleaners is always a bit tricky, but with true Rotary spirit the show goes on, acting out the Rotary motto Service above Self.

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

Last summer we helped the SEND (Special Educational Needs or Disabilities) group with equipment and prizes for their Family Fun Day in August. SEND have made good use of the equipment that we provided, which helped them to set up a Get Set Club for these youngsters, which runs weekly events for them.

The Get Set Club started up in September 2018 with the support of East Sussex County Council’s grant of ‘Life More Ordinary’. The fund enabled Wave Leisure to keep participants’ costs low at the price of £5.15 per session per child with two members of trained staff running the sessions. The sessions are capped at 5 - 8 young people based on their needs. This gives the children more 1:1 time to progress and form relationships.

Unfortunately, the East Sussex County Council grant only lasted until the end of March, which meant that the Club would have to close down during the Spring and Summer until they could (hopefully) get another grant from September onwards.

Seaford Rotary Club, along with Seaford Martello Rotary Club, made the donations to enable the Club to keep running during May to July so that the SEND kids can continue with these valuable sessions.

It is brilliant to see the good work that they do with the children, and the way the children respond. They clearly benefit greatly from these weekly sessions.

Donation Presentations at Eastbourne

On Wednesday 22nd May, Steven Willox and Community Services Committee Chair Clive Livingstone travelled to Eastbourne to make presentations to Friends of Eastbourne Hospital and St Wilfred’s hospice.

Although located in Eastbourne, both facilities are available for use by residents of Seaford, and thus they were considered suitable for donations to be made by the Club.

Eastbourne Hospital is well on the way in upgrading their Urology Unit.

When it is fully open later this year it will have doubled the treatment rooms to 10, with all the necessary testing facilities, so that patients will have all the necessary investigations carried out at their outpatient appointment to enable them to leave with a treatment plan in place. It will also have a number of high dependency beds to take pressure off the Intensive Care Unit. Friends of Eastbourne Hospital pledged to raise £500,000 to equip the new Investigation Suite and to provide monitoring equipment for the Enhanced Care unit. In addition, it will also help upgrade the waiting areas for patients and their families.

Dr Harry Walmsley and Debbie Wicks gave Steven, Vice President Keith and myself a very warm welcome when we met them to hand over our £1,000 donation.

Following a very interesting talk on St Wilfrid’s Hospice

by David Scott-Ralphs, we felt that it was important that we supported the essential services that they provide. Very mindful of the need to minimise our carbon footprint we took advantage of our trip to The Friends of Eastbourne Hospital to present our cheque £1,000 to St Wilfrid’s.

Steven, Keith and I were warmly greeted by Lotti Prangnell. We were impressed with the building which has been designed to be light, open and very welcoming.

Rotary Club of Seaford which meets Wednesday lunchtime at Seaford Golf Club welcomes new members. For more information contact us on www.seafordrotary.org.uk/contact.

Seaford U3A Orchestra

100-Year-old Musician raises £680 for Children’s Hospice

On 24th May Seaford’s U3A Orchestra – all 42 of them – played their end-of-season concert to a packed house at Seaford Baptist Church. On the same occasion, Phyllis Merrifield celebrated her 100th Birthday with a card from Her Majesty the Queen, presented by the Town Crier.

Phyllis Merrifield, a founder member of the orchestra, was their percussionist. She wanted the donations from the concert to go to Chestnut Tree Children’s Hospice. What a wonderful lady! The audience was 160 strong, including family members from as far away as New Zealand.

There was also a guest spot for the U3A Recorder Ensemble under Jean Colebourne. Phyllis, of course, is a playing member. Her great-grand-daughter also played a piano solo. The orchestra, under Musical Director Pat White, performed a concert of 16 pieces.

They ranged from Classical music and opera, to swing, jazz and pop. The audience loved it!

This orchestra meets on Friday mornings for 30 weeks of the year, and welcomes instruments such as accordions, recorders, guitars and mandolins, as well as the full range of orchestral instruments. It resumes rehearsals from 20th September, and interested musicians should enrol through Seaford U3A. Peter White Photo: Seaford U3A Orchestra performing at Seaford Baptist Church.

St James’Trust (Seaford)

Community Outreach Initiative

Your local independent Charity for the Community, focusing mainly on the Elderly and Disabled but welcoming local groups of all ages and abilities in the Seaford area.

In 2016 St James’ Trust Seaford decided to pilot a new initiative to offer volunteer work/placement opportunities to people with learning difficulties, experiencing social exclusion or looking to gain experience to get back into the workplace. Our Community Development Manager worked closely with local organisations and support workers to identify clients who were keen to be part of this exciting new project.

We have many different work experience roles available at the Trust: Charity Shop Assistant, Kitchen & Lunch Club Assistant, Mini Bus Chaperone and Garden/ Groundsman. Each client is given the choice of work area, and all training and support is tailor made to their individual needs, with full support and guidance from Viv Reynolds, Community Development Manager.

If the client finds that their chosen placement is not suitable, they can change to another.

The project has been very successful and we have now worked with six clients who have gone on to secure full- or part-time paid work. We currently support seven people. We were very lucky to secure a grant from the National Lottery, which enabled us to expand and continue the project.

Plumbing & Heating George Ward Established for 30 years

Boiler Service / Repairs / Replacements

We also have a superb team of volunteers who provide invaluable support and encouragement to our clients, enabling them to learn new skills and grow in confidence. We can always use more volunteers, and if you have a couple of hours a week to spare, we have vacancies in our Charity Shop, Tuesday Kitchen preparation, Tuesday lunch service and Tuesday Minibus Escort.

As a small independent charity, we rely heavily on local funding to supplement our own efforts to raise working capital and have been lucky to have received support from several local organisations who made us their nominated Charity of the Year. We have also received several legacies from the estates of appreciative clients.

Would you consider supporting this local charity working to make a meaningful difference in your community? Could your company possibly sponsor St James’ Trust in return for public recognition and a knowledge that your money is doing some good?

SEAFORD FLOOD ACTION GROUP The Seaford Flood Action Group (SFAG) is part of the Seaford Community Partnership. The group was set up a few years ago, and consists of local residents, officers from Lewes District Council, East Sussex County Council, and local councillors. We meet regularly to discuss flooding issues in the Seaford area, and try to find methods to prevent further flooding. The Seaford Flood Action Group is campaigning to promote the benefits of permeable driveways to reduce the surface water run-off into the drains.

Specific rules apply for householders wanting to pave over their front gardens. You will not need planning permission if a new or replacement driveway of any size uses permeable (or porous) surfacing which allows water to drain through, such as gravel, permeable concrete block paving or porous asphalt, or if the rainwater is directed to a lawn or border to drain.

If the surface to be covered is more than five square metres, planning permission will be needed for laying traditional, impermeable driveways that do not provide for the water to run to a permeable area.

The Seaford Flood Action Group is also working with Southern Water regarding their Keep It Clear campaign.

The average household drain is only 10cm in diameter, as it is only designed to take away the three P’s – Pee, Poo and toilet Paper. Please do not put unflushables down your toilet into the drains, for example wet wipes or cotton wool, as they just create blockages in the pipework, which may not affect you directly but may affect your neighbour.

More information can be found on the Southern Water website on their Keep it Clear campaign.

Although roof gardens are gaining popularity today as a replacement to the historical hanging gardens, they cannot replace the hanging baskets that display flowers so well and are available to anyone with or without a garden.

JOBS TO DO IN july

3Take semi-ripe, softwood or stem cuttings from

shrubby herbs – rosemary, thyme, sage – and put into pots of soil to create new plants.

3As soon as raspberries are finished, cut down the fruiting canes to the ground, check for growth of new canes and support as needed.

3Check any climbing roses as along with flowering, next year’s growing stems will already be appearing, support and tie these in.

3Deadhead spent dahlia blooms quickly to avoid them setting seed – a spent bloom has a conical shape, a new bud is more rounded.

uly is the month when flowers, fruit and vegetables are at their best – the colours, tastes and beauty of summer are here to enjoy. Many gardens are open to visit, including several in Seaford, giving us ideas for our own gardens, opportunities to ask questions and enjoy tea and cake! If you don’t have a garden or it’s too small, a hanging basket could be an answer! Hanging gardens, the precursor to hanging baskets, date back possibly 3,000 years. Assyrian Queen Semiranis who reigned in 810BC is said to have designed the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Built on stepped terraces, they were thought to act as a reminder of her previous mountainous home. Records suggests King Nebuchadnezzar in 605BC during his 43 year reign built a similar garden to cheer up his sick wife.

Some stories describe the Hanging Gardens as towering hundreds of feet in the air, possibly as high as the city walls, although archaeological explorations suggest a lesser height. It is probable that the Hanging Gardens were actually overhanging from a terrace or balcony with pillars and layers of terraces reached by steps. More practical hanging baskets followed later.

Watering was a problem in Babylon as rain was scarce, so ‘chain pumps’ were designed to get water to the plants with slaves employed to do this important task.

LUPIN

Lupinus, more commonly known as lupin or lupine, belongs in the legume family and is extensively cultivated as a food source and as an attractive garden flower. There are many species in various colours. The seeds of some, known as lupine beans, have been eaten for 6,000 years. The beans are used today in sweet and savoury foods including everyday meals, traditional fermented foods and sauces, mostly in Europe, Brazil, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon. Lupins are good companion plants as they increase nitrogen in the soi,l helping vegetables and plants to grow. Butterflies and moths love lupins too as a food source. Lupins enjoy full sun or dappled shade, growing best in moist, well-drained soil. Plant out when young and remove flower stems as they fade. Divide in spring to create more plants and attractive flowers will continue for years to come.

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD This month’s social evening is on Thursday 25th July, 7pm in St Leonard’s Church Hall. Ray Hale will speak on ‘The Natural History of the Orang-utan’.

On your marks, get set, go gardening!

At 9.30am on the last Wednesday in May it was as if all our volunteers were champing at the starting gate in their eagerness to have our corner of the Crouch looking its best for the Mayor’s Trail – then only a few days away. And like a well-ordered track-and-field event, some of our horticultural athletes got on with jobs requiring green fingers, while others took on maintenance and building projects, and were at the line for their next event as soon as the previous one was won.

Only minutes after James had finished planting out tomatoes into weed-suppressant fabric, Phil was carefully snipping off side shoots from what he called the armpits between the growth shoots. Earlier, Phil had checked under a numbered roofing felt square issued by the Sussex Amphibian and Reptile Group to see if any grass snakes or slowworms had ventured beneath to warm up – part of a survey the group is conducting in Seaford – none had but both have been seen in local gardens.

Meanwhile, James had left the polytunnel for the pond to discuss with Natasha what to do about the low water level caused by the lack of substantial rainfall.

After considering the ethics of water usage, they decided to top up to give the newts a fighting chance and to get rid of some blanket weed. They reported that there had been no frogspawn this year, although newt spawn had been found in the mini-pond, and so far no dragonflies, although a few damselflies had emerged. A few yards away Val and Brian were engaged in a spot of carpentry, making a

It was good to see Mike back.

Veg supremo, virtually since the garden started, he retired this year and joked that he was back in an advisory capacity.

Inspecting some very healthylooking broad beans and promising courgettes, he declared himself well pleased with the results. His successor, Bill, was doubling up watering plants being nurtured for sale while Abdul was patiently weeding the salad leaves bed.

Veronica was scrubbing our ‘We are open’ banners, so visitors receive a sparkling welcome, and during the tea break a group of volunteers reported on their visit to the Newhaven Energy Recovery Facility, which they were told processes about half the household waste in the South Downs area – many thanks to Veolia for the three bags of Pro-gro soil improver which is already being put to good use enhancing our plant propagation. Any further contributions would be gratefully received!

If you are not able to pop in on a Wednesday morning, and later this month on a Saturday morning too – when we should have produce for sale as reward for all that effort. We are also open on Saturday 27th July all day for the Macmillan Trail. We promise to stop racing about long enough to show you the fruits of our labours!

HOMELINK can help prevent homelessness by helping local people of any faith or none into housing by offering an interest-free loan for part or all of the finance needed to access private rented accommodation. On average this amounts to £1,600 per tenancy (to cover the damage deposit and/or the first month’s rent) – often an impossible amount for people to raise. HOMELINK can also help mentored prisoners about to be released by making a small grant to cover a short stay in a B&B so that they have the opportunity to start a new life.

Some disabled access from the large car park. £5 per person entry, children free.

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN & SEAFORD LIONS CLUB We have had a busy time over the past couple of months. We spent a week at Sainsbury’s collecting for the East African appeal – a very disappointing result but thank you to all who donated.

Our big event was the Seaford Half Marathon, with over 200 completing this challenging, but beautiful, course. The weather was almost perfect for the run, which started from the seafront, went around the outskirts of Seaford, along the south Downs Way and finished on the sea front 13.1 miles later. First man to finish was Darren Bird (1.29.32) and the first female was Tara Shanahan (1.40.58). Can you do better than this? If so, we’ll see you next May! Over the past two months we have made several donations. Firstly we had pledged a sum to the Council for the new skate park at The Salts.

Now this is taking shape we have handed the money over. Hopefully it will be open in time for the summer holidays so the skateboarders and scooter riders will be able to make use of it during the school holidays.

We also presented a cheque to the Newhaven Coastwatch team.

These volunteers, who help to keep our coast safe, need up-to-date equipment which is expensive and the funds are mainly raised by donations. The Seaford Bonfire Society and Seaford Striders have also received donations. As well as these organisations benefitting the local community, they also give valuable help to the Lions with the Half Marathon

100

by marshalling and manning water stops.

We also allocated money to doctors’ surgeries in our three towns to buy specialised equipment. As we only received one reply from the surgeries we contacted, we used the money to buy the Meridian Surgery in Peacehaven a dermatoscope. This is a relatively small instrument but costs nearly £800!

We have a lot of books! Although we have regular book sales at Paradise Park, we seem to take home more books than we brought, despite selling over 500 books each time. We would really like to open a temporary shop for a week to sell all our books so we can start again. If anyone knows of a shop or premises that we can borrow for a week, please contact us on the number below or via our website. All the money raised goes back into the community, including running the minibuses that take members of the public to their clubs and meetings in the town, a vital link for some people.

We had our Annual Blossom trip on 8th May and took 60 elderly guests on a pleasant drive around the beautiful Sussex countryside, ending up at the WI hall in Bodle Street Green, where we treated all the guests to a wonderful cream tea. Thank you to all the members of Bodle Street Green WI who provided the tea.

We are now preparing for our Fiftieth Birthday party! We were granted our Charter on 23rd October 1969 and have been serving the community ever since. We have raised a lot of money over the years, collecting newspaper, and running Donkey Derbies, Swimathons, Half Marathons plus more smaller events such as book sales, stalls at other fêtes and tin shaking. We have also Photos from top: Coastwatch presentation; Half marathon Winner, Darren Bird; Half marathon 1st female, Tara Shanahan; Half marathon back markers and our youngest helpers; Dermatoscope presentation.

provided many services – at one point we had forty electric wheelchairs, a caravan for those with a disability to holiday in and of course there’s the minibuses. Health and safety rules and the lack of expertise have limited our ability to provide some practical services, including fitting smoke alarms and laying concrete drives. Needs have also changed but we still keep the minibuses on the road and they are in regular use.

Over the years we have supported many local groups financially. We still do this by making grants to clubs like the Over 60s, club nurseries, schools, Hard of Hearing club, scouts and guides.

We Still Serve

If you would like to keep the Lions serving for the next fifty years, please join us. We meet at the White Lion every fourth Thursday of the month at 8pm. Come and see us, or contact us via our website or the telephone number below and join in the fun.

We have two minibuses for use by the community to take out various groups with or without a driver, i.e. if you want to provide your own driver you can do so

Inner Wheel club of Seaford Community Outreach Worker, Jane Witts from WAVES Seaford was the guest speaker at the May monthly meeting of the Inner Wheel Club of Seaford. WAVES is President Kay Young’s chosen charity for this Inner Wheel Year. Members are delighted to support WAVES, a local charity supporting families who are feeling vulnerable and isolated from the community.

Members enjoyed their annual Inter-Club Tea when representatives from five Clubs in Inner Wheel District attended an afternoon at Seaford Golf Club. Delegates from Inner Wheel District 25 were also present. Lord Curzon (aka actor Geoff Hutchinson) gave a very interesting presentation regarding his role in the then

controversial campaign for womens suffrage.

Former owner of Bodiam Castle, Lord Curzon, had been particularly vocal in opposing the suffragette movement. Lord Curzon was confronted by Julia Scurr (aka actress Karen Hammond) who enlightened the meeting by speaking about her involvement in the East London Sufragettes. She explained how the movement shaped the lives of women at the beginning of the 20th century. The Club was pleased to host this re-enacted encounter between Lord Curzon and Julia Scurr because it helped the Club celebrate a 100 years since women were granted the right to vote.

Later in the month some members visited the Brighton Royal Pavillion to view a dazzling new exhibition of hats by designer Stephen Jones OBE. The exhibition displayed hats worn by celebrities including Lady Gaga and Diana, Princess of Wales. There were also hats made in collaboration with some of the world’s best fashion designers, including Dior, Thom Browne, Giles Deacon and Comme des Garçons.

A Charity Fashion Show was the concluding event in May at M&Co. Proceeds from the sale of raffle tickets at M&Co. for two weeks prior to the event, in addition to the evening’s ticket sales, resulted in a substantial amount of money being raised for WAVES. Inner Wheel members are appreciative of the support and co-operation of the management and staff at M&Co and thank them for hosting the evening. The musical interval given by Shannon was also appreciated. The evening was well attended and greatly enjoyed by the ‘fashion watchers’, who valued the professionalism of a range of local models, including young people exhibiting a fantastic range of casual and formal summer outfits.

Sponsored by Rotary Club of Seaford and their Business Partners

Scam Awareness Don’t be a victim of a scam

The Rotary Club of Seaford and their Business Partners are pleased to reproduce monthly e extracts from the Little Book ak F of Big Scams, originally compiled by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and made available by the Metropolitan and Sussex Police.

Scam

-0 Rip

ff

These extracts should be seen as a general guide to many scams currently operating in the UK, and have been included in Seaford Scene to increase your awareness of these scams and show you some easy steps that you can take to protect yourselves and others.

Scams target people of all ages, backgrounds and income levels. One of the best ways to fight the scammers is to take steps to prevent yourself from being caught out in the first place.

Do not be embarrassed to report a scam. Because the scammers are cunning and clever, there is no shame in being deceived. By reporting you will make it more difficult for the scammers to deceive others.

If you want to stay on top of scams and up to date about crime prevention advice, visit Sussex Police website, where you can learn of current information on different types of scam, new scam stories, alerts and advice.

Holiday fraud

Holiday frauds are on the increase and holidaymakers are being scammed out of millions of pounds a year by fraudsters. Scammers are targeting online holiday booking and accommodation sites to scam unsuspecting customers into paying for accommodation that is not

110

available or does not even exist. Often the victim only becomes aware they have been scammed when they arrive at their accommodation or destination and find no booking has been made.

What you should know

Scammers will often ask for payment by direct bank transfer away from the website. They may encourage you to do this by offering discounts for bank transfer payments.

Often scammers will use photos of accommodation taken from other sites on the web. You can check photos with a reverse image search engine available on the internet. These check images to see where else on the Internet they may have been used.

The scammer’s advert may state that they belong to a trade body or consumer protection scheme such as the Association of British travel Agents (ABTA).

Contact the body or scheme to check their credentials.

Try to research the property and see if it has its own website. Always try to call the owner of a property to confirm they are aware of your potential booking.

If their phone number is not provided, send an email requesting it.

Remember

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! If it doesn’t feel right, then ask questions.

Caution

Check the website address is legitimate and has not been altered by a slight change such as co.uk to org.

Think

Why am I being asked to pay by direct bank transfer? Use your credit card to pay so that the purchase is protected.

Investigate

Do your research. Are there any reviews about the company?

A Cautionary Tale

A victim lost £3,000 after attempting to book a holiday villa via the internet. He had contacted a reputable website via email and was in the process of confirming his booking. He received an email purporting to be from another member of staff at the holiday company,

Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers

which stated he would receive a discount if he paid for the villa directly to its owner.

Wanting to take advantage of this offer, the victim paid for the accommodation directly into a bank account provided by email.

The victim became concerned when he did not receive a confirmation from the holiday company and contacted them via the telephone number on their website. He was informed that the company had no record of his booking and their systems stated he had emailed the company to say he was not interested in any of their properties.

It was established that the victim’s email account had been hacked and the suspects had discovered the victim was looking to rent a holiday property.

The scammer had then sent emails to the victim from a similar email address to that of the holiday company, persuading him to pay funds into a fraudulently opened bank account.

Lionel the LittleKnown Warrior A family legend inspired local author Jill Bush to begin researching an extraordinary story, published by Pen and Sword Books on 30th June.

Lionel Morris and the Red Baron was inspired by the memories of Jill’s father. As a boy in the late 1940s he visited his great aunt, who had a plaque on her desk with an inscription that included the name of Manfred von Richthofen, the legendary German fighter pilot – also known as the Red Baron.

Second Lieutenant Lionel Morris was her only son, a 19-year-old from Croydon, who joined the Army in 1915 and transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, forerunner of today’s RAF. He completed his training with London’s very first dedicated home defence squadron and in May 1916 he went to the Western Front.

There he joined No.11 Squadron, alongside the great British ace Albert Ball. The unit was arguably the first fighter squadron in the world, and the following month Morris found himself thrown into the beginning of the Battle of the Somme. He turned himself into a fighter pilot. In six weeks he went from struggling to clear the trees on take off to flying with a crack unit involved in multi-aircraft dogfights.

On 17th September 1916 No.11 Squadron was escorting a bombing raid when they were intercepted

by a German squadron led by Oswald Boelcke.

Boelcke had handpicked his fliers, including a rookie pilot called Manfred von Richthofen. Richthofen, better trained and in a better aeroplane, singled out Morris, flying with his observer Tom Rees. Rees was shot dead in the air; Morris, mortally wounded, still managed to land the plane.

It was the first victory for Richthofen and a ‘sliding doors’ moment, which could so easily have changed the course of history had Morris not been flying an aeroplane which was becoming obsolete. The circumstances of his death were a turning point for the RFC. Shockwaves went to the very top of the British Army and continued to influence RAF policy right through to WWII. Decades passed, and Lionel Morris disappeared into his own family history whilst the legend of the Red Baron grew. Then, in 2016, prompted by Jill’s research, an exhibition at Whitgift School in Croydon highlighted the role that Morris had played in Richthofen’s beginnings. Over 25,000 people attended, and a unique meeting brought her face to face with a twenty-first century Richthofen.

Jill has spent six years looking for Lionel Morris, visiting local and national archives, finding his diary at the RAF Museum and walking in his footsteps in the fields of Artois. She says, ‘Lionel didn’t receive any decorations.

Two shared victories didn’t make an ace and he didn’t live long enough to be rewarded with any honours – even a recommendation for a Mention in Despatches was vetoed. But his story became remarkable through the accretions of history and it stands as a tribute to all our little-known warriors who gave their lives in the Great War.’ Lionel Morris and the Red Baron is published by Pen and Sword Books.

ALISON’S CORNER UNVEILED AT CLIFDEN HOUSE A much loved ‘friend and guest’ has been honoured with a dedicated bench and a commemorative blue plaque in the gardens of Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford, where she lived for the last three years of her life.

Known as ‘Alison’s Corner’ it was unveiled by her loving husband Barry, on what would have

and encourage this aspect. We were able to witness the joy and comfort that this brought her.

“We hope that ‘Alison’s Corner’ will serve as a lasting tribute to her life and the devotion between her and Barry during their nearly fifty-year marriage. We look forward to welcoming Barry whenever he wishes to visit Alison’s Corner and remember happier times.”

Following Alison’s dementia diagnosis in 2015, Barry cared for her at home for as long as he was able. Barry visited Alison daily, following her move to Clifden House. Barry said: “When I walked into Clifden House I had a really good feeling. For the first time in a long time, I had a sense of calm. I knew that Alison would be happy here.”

to Barry, who commented, “It is such a nice way of regarding all the residents at Clifden House who need help and care with their daily lives. I would like to publicly thank all the staff for the way you have presented the bench in ‘Alison’s Corner’ and for the dedicated care she received during her time with you.”

Clifden House is a family-run dementia care centre

Nial Joyce of Clifden House, said: “During Alison’s time with us her story touched the hearts of many of our team. Alison was diagnosed with a very rare form of dementia, known as Posterior Cortical Atropy (PCA). Due to the nature of her condition, staff needed to be very adaptive to her needs.

Macmillan Coastal Garden trail 2019 The 8th annual Macmillan Coastal Garden Trail takes place over the weekend of 27th and 28th July. 2019 has turned out to be a rather special year, as 12 of the 22 gardens opening their gates are brand new to the trail.

Trail organiser, Geoff Stonebanks, tells us he was rather despondent at the start of the year, with many old favourites deciding to have a year off this season. He had to work quite hard to recruit some new venues and then ended up with 12! There are 11 gardens in the city of Brighton & Hove, five in Telscombe and Peacehaven, four in Seaford and two in Alfriston. So, quite a bunch to choose from and

visit across the two-day event. This year, the trail patron, TV Gardener, BBC Gardener’s Question time panellist and The One Show’s gardening reporter, Christine Walkden, will be on hand to talk to visitors and officially open the event in Geoff ’s garden, Driftwood (garden 17) at 11am on the 27th.

Geoff says, ‘Visitors to the gardens in Seaford will be in for a real treat as one of the new venues is the old walled garden on The Egg, in Bishopstone old village, garden 18’.

The garden is a hospice for hedgehogs after they have been at the Wildlife Rescue Ambulance Service, just North of Eastbourne. Wild animals who have been hurt in any way can be taken there and once they are better they are released back where they came from.

However, sometimes they are too vulnerable to be released back into the wild due to their injuries, so the hedgehogs go to the walled garden to live out the rest if their lives, free from predators, cars, chemicals, strimmers etc. Currently there are six, although only three tend to be seen. ‘Maybe you will be lucky!’ says Geoff.

Also new in the town – well, returning after a long absence – is 27 Alfriston Park, and not too far up the road, two brand new gardens in the village of Alfriston. Full details on all the gardens, maps to locate them and images, can be found on the trail website, www.macmillangardentrail.co.uk. Any enquiries can be referred to Geoff on 01323 899296. Tickets to join the trail can be purchased in the first garden visited and cost £8 on both Saturday and Sunday, meaning, if you have the stamina you can see all 22 gardens, a bargain! Alternatively, you can pay just £3 to see individual gardens, many of which are serving homemade teas and a few selling garden art.

seaford kurlers

Hello Seaford Sceners

Welcome to the July article from Seaford Kurlers. Half way through 2019 does not seem possible. I haven’t done nearly as much as I wanted to.

Seaford Kurlers have already had two outings this year with Lynne’s Travel. The first was to Polhill in April, and we had our second one in May to Bexhill-on-Sea. There we visited Christchurch Methodist Church to see their 31st Festival of Flowers 2019. I was not able to go myself but the members that did said that it was very good.

There were refreshments and craft stalls, plus all the history of the church itself. It is not older than the turn of the 20th century and it was dedicated in 1906. . We will hopefully arrange another outing later in the year.

The next event in our calendar is the annual Wave Paragames event. This is done in conjunction with Newhaven Sainsbury’s supermarket and is always well attended. Seaford Kurlers always help out on the day

to run the New Age Kurling section. Some members also help with the other games if they can.

Seaford Kurlers continue right through the year and we sometimes welcome members’ visitors and they can join in.

We meet every Tuesday from 2pm until 4pm in Wave Leisure Centre sports hall. Our annual membership is £5 per year and weekly subs are £2.50, the first visit is free.You can contact me on 01323 895376 or email sally1989@tiscali.co.uk.

Refill Seaford & Newhaven

The Return of the Water Fountain

When I was a child we did not carry water with us when out and about unless going on a guide hike, but relied on the water fountains which were in our parks.

They usually had a metal cup on a chain and a central spout which we would much rather eagerly put our mouth over than use. When the water pressure was strong we had fun with these as well…

I was delighted to find out this week that a wonderful fountain just like the one in London’s Borough market that I photographed last year has come to a park near us – The Hollow in South Heighton. Lets hope that the grants applied for by Seaford Town Council will mean we can Refill in parks nearer home as well. If anyone is not convinced how many single use plastic bottle fountains can save, my trip to London yesterday saw me refill at Victoria on the way home and the total refill is now over 130, 000.

You may have seen our stall at The Newhaven Fish Festival on 15th June where we were spreading the word about the state of our European Rivers. Plastic bottles are the most commonly litter-picked item from them.

If you want a Chillys bottle which will keep your drink hot or cold, you can buy one of these yourself from: refill.org.uk/buy-a-bottle/ and Chillys make a £10 donation to the Refill campaign.

Find us on Facebook Refill Seaford and Newhaven as there is a group and a page to follow.

Clock Restoration Service

We have joined the Greenhavens Network and attended their AGM, where we met many others in our local community concerned about nature and preserving our wonderful environment. The network aims to enhance our parks and open spaces and providing water fountains fits into this very nicely of course. Do check them out at www.greenhavens. network Finally If you run, or know of a business that wants to join the scheme, do let us know or they can sign themselves up using the app or website. There are now over 16,000 nationally and the number is growing every week.

Please don’t forget you can download the Refill app here to get the location maps to find Refill points https:// www.refill.org.uk/get-the-refill-app/ and also register your business and others if you have their permission.
