Welcome...

The summer is upon us already and this means the annual round of summer fairs, fetes and shows are starting up.

We’re delighted to once again be offering a chance to win tickets for the Sussex Country Show at Parham, and this year also a family membership for Amberley museum - see pages 11 & 12.

12 Plenty to do in the garden of course, and this month Andrew considers the options for planting your own apple trees, trees starting on page 15.

15 The hectic lives many of us lead mean that finding ways to relax and take time out is vitally important. Lynn Smith talks to Sussex artist Richard Potter on the benefits of art as a purposeful activity, a way of dealing with trauma and working through life’s challenges - page 28.

Amberley Traditional Crafts Weekend 28th - 30th May Win an Amberley Museum annual family membership Many people are now reverting back to traditional crafts, both as a way of making a living, as a second top up income, or just as 'hobbyists'. Whichever category they come into there is usually a great passion involved, those involved are more than happy to chat about how and why they started, and you can often find where stones, wood and other materials are sourced from, with much of it being local to Sussex.

Below are details of some of the crafts on display at the Traditional crafts weekend (sponsored by Covers and Seymour and Lisle Ltd) taking place on Saturday 28th, Sunday 29th and Monday 30th May. You can take a ride around the site for free on the historic bus or narrow gauge steam railway.

Bodgers & Woodturners - The Sussex Bodgers produced stool legs for milking stools as dairy farming played a large part in the local landscape.

These along with wooden bowls were farm produced using green wood (wood that has just been cut down). The Amberley Bodgers still use the traditional methods and the woodturning has now been taken to a new level with electric lathes producing finer artistic ware, usually using seasoned wood. Both the Bodgers and Woodturners are resident craftsmen at Amberley Besom brooms - Traditional Birch or Heather twigs made into a head and attached to a handle usually hazel.

Walking stick maker - Every farmer and shepherd would craft one from local hedgerows.

Jewellery - Originally stones were threaded onto gut or vine and worn around the neck - Sussex has a long beach where stones were collected Spinning & Knitting - Using the abundance of Southdown sheep fleeces after spinning into wool it was knitted into jumpers or woven.

Bricks - Wealden clay much sought after for high strength engineering bricks. Dew ponds were formed where clay was dug and made and fired into bricks, quite often you will find a dew pond very close to a brick bridge, saving transport.

Smithing - The art of forming metal into useable items by heating and the hammering into shape. Every village and hamlet had one, horse shoes, fire pokers, spades and forks, farm equipment. The better ones made edge tools, billhooks, scythes, hooks.

Lace - One of the oldest forms of garment enhancement, collars and bodice's on dresses, wedding dresses, doilies for covering water jugs, dressing table items. The bobbins are mostly turned wood now with ivory and bone being used in the past, some were whittled with knives.

Quilting - Originally small pieces of fabric were sewn together mostly old clothes, made into bed coverings.

Pottery - Goes back almost to the beginning, rough shaped wet clay pots formed and bakedResident tradesman Tree work - was manually done with axes and 2 handled saws made by the local blacksmith and bodgers. This work is now done by chainsaws and rotovators have replaced spades and forks which were also made by these local craftsmen.

Much of what is bought from crafts people will generally outlive commercially produced items and often become passed down heirlooms.

Win a pair of tickets to see Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey and his new band At Concorde 2, Brighton on Saturday 19th June For nearly three decades fans of the Thompson Twins have been waiting for more live performances from one of the most iconic bands of the eighties.

The Thompson Twins enjoyed big success on the US dance chart with ‘Lies”, ‘In the Name of Love’ and ‘Hold Me Now’ all reaching No 1.

In 1988 they had another No 1 dance chart hit in the US with ‘In the Name of Love 88”.

The Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey is back after 27 years playing a special one-off club date at Brighton’s Concorde 2 on Saturday 19th June!

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens

Is your garden without the Queen of all Trees –The Apple?

Apple trees are the very heart of a garden. The Romans started the first cultivars from wild apple trees then took them wherever they went.

There are now over 7,000 cultivars! They herald the beginning of Spring with their gorgeous pretty blossom, they create a lazy puddle of shade in Summer and they herald the beginning of Autumn with their red bubals of sweetness, staving of any fears we might have of impending winter. Yet during the Winter they undergo a complete transformation, turning from pretty maidens into lichen bearded, warty crones!

But every garden needs one –they are friends to wildlife and give the garden a romance and timelessness.

Designing an Orchard or planting your single Apple Whether you are designing an orchard or just need to select a couple of fruit trees for an empty corner of your garden similar garden design principles apply.

Gardening 15

SUSSEX LOCAL

Location - Make sure your site is sunny. At the very least an apple needs 6 hours of sunlight a day to ripen it’s fruit.

countryside check how many companion apple trees you will need to make sure pollination happens.

Drainage - A slight slope is preferable as apples hate waterlogged soil- if you are in heavy clay you need to prepare the planting hole with as much organic matter as you can. In the long term the trees might still struggle. If you are desperate use drainage pipe under your tree with the pipes going to an outlet somewhere else in the garden.

Size and Type - There are many dwarf apples now that are just a few foot high that can be grown in pots. Or you can go for column shaped trees such as Ballerina if you have a tight space. There also are Family apples that can have three different varities of apples on the one small tree. Whatever you buy check what rootstock it is grown on- as they can get 30 foot high!

Soil - Even though you can get alkaline tolerant apples they like a slightly acid soil best.

Wind - Wind can play havoc with the formation of the trees structure as well as deter the pollinating insects as it whips around the branches so try to create a hedge or windbreak to protect your new tree- and use sturdy stakes. On some rootstocks they need stakes for the whole of their lives.

Pollination - If you are in an established urban setting the chances are someone will have an apple tree in the same Pollinating Zone as yours but if you live in a new development or in the

Lastly check for disease resistant varieties.

Good luck and happy planting- and what a present they make!

Garden Tasks for May •

The frosts will ‘officailly end’ in the middle of this month so you can safely plant out any annuals you have been bringing on or that you purchase from a garden centre.

•

If you have potted up your Dahlias you can start planting them in the ground making sure they have plenty of drainage and are their young growth is protected from snails.

•

There is still time to dig up and divide your favourite perennials to move them around the garden or just thin them out. And you can do the Chelsea Chop on Sedums, Heleniums and Pholx. By cutting back by a half all this year’s growth you can create stronger, shorter plants with smaller but more profuse flowers and will flower later in the year. Try half a clump and compare the difference.

•

It is also not too late to plant seed potatoes. potatoes

Keep hoeing and mulching bare earth so stop the weeds getting a hold and you can start liquid feeding your pots now once a month or so.

SUSSEX LOCAL Reader Letter Arundel Station Walk and Cycle Pathway Dear Editor In response to Alan Poate’s letter regarding the cycle/walkway from Arundel station (April edition).

Mr Poate feels that the traffic lights controlling the pedestrian crossing by the Causeway Roundabout should go. That would be disastrous. When we, who live nearby, first heard about this ill thoughtout, massively over-budget and accident prone scheme, we were immediately concerned about the future of the much needed crossing and lights.

The reasons being, without the crossing, elderly people living nearby and wanting to walk into the town, would have a longer walk up to the station to cross through the tunnel before walking back again. Also, the new pathway is unlit for a stretch … understandably, very few people would choose to walk along this path in the dark … choosing to use (instead) the opposite lit pathway and then the crossing.

I have contacted West Sussex County Council … and asked about the possible removal of this crossing. I was informed that there was no plan to do so. Highways England, responsible for the A27, say that as far as they are concerned, the crossing would remain.

I can assure Mr Poate that the new cycle/walkway is being used, albeit not by everyone. Cyclists coming down from Crossbush and many from the Ford Road area still choose to use either the road itself or the pavement on this side.

Perhaps we’re now in a “something for everyone” situation but when the “Proper” Arundel Bypass, replaces this Relief Road … the congestion will go, the rat running will go, the majority of the traffic will go and most importantly, the pollution will also go. What is more, cyclists won’t really need the new pathway and, perhaps, the crossing won’t be needed by anyone. Now there’s a thought!

Colin Stepney, by email.

Distributors Needed We are looking for reliable, conscientious distributors to help deliver Sussex Local and our advertisers’ leaflets in the Arundel. area. Self employed contracts with flexible hours between 21-31st of each month. Car needed to collect magazines from Slindon.

PR Own goal?

You will now have received your Council tax bills, maybe you were surprised by Arun District Councils’s headline increase of 3.1 percent, when, in previous columns, I had mentioned it would be 1.95 percent. The explanation is that, at the last minute, the government allowed Arun to increase band D by up to £5 per year, which is higher than 1.95 percent, because there are a larger number of Band D properties this has fed through to the headline figure for all other bands.

Arun’s share of the Council tax basket is about 11 percent of the overall bill. For that you get all the services Arun provides. These are too numerous to mention, but the headline ones are – bin collections, street cleaning, planning, green spaces, and licensing of pubs and taxis. But on reflection I think the increase was a mistake; it is a PR own goal and in relative terms has raised only about £100,000 against a budget of approximately £23 million.

Also included in your Council tax was another new charge: the County Council has been allowed to charge for Social care, but instead of rolling it up in their headline figure they have separated it out,

Charity & Community 23 so this is a new charge and most people haven't noticed it. Personally I fully agree with this charge, we don’t pay carers enough, it’s a bit of a Cinderella service and with the issues of dementia we need to invest a lot more in these services.

The Government seems to have got itself into hot water on the £9 million information leaflet about the Referendum. I am still not decided, but why, oh why didn’t they get the Office of Budget Responsibility to write to the electorate? It looks like gerrymandering. Although, in the Government’s defence, they are recommending the negotiated deal and pushing the case to stay, but the British people have an instinct for fair play, and it seems unfair to use the Government’s money and machine to argue the case. Until next month. Paul Dendle is Arundel & Walberton Ward and Cabinet member on Arun District Council, visit: www.pauldendle.org or you can send an email to: Cllr.Paul.dendle@arun.gov.uk Other ward Councillors for the Arundel Walberton ward who represent you on Arun DC are Norman Dingemans and Robert Wheal.

Risotto Primavera Risotto full of spring vegetables - great for vegetarians too Ingredients (serves 4): 150g each of asparagus tips, broad beans and small courgettes 1tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped 200g Arborio or other risotto rice 750ml hot chicken or vegetable stock 50ml Vermouth or dry white wine 110g fresh Parmesan cheese, finely grated 50ml double cream 2tbsp flat leaf parsley, shredded

Method: 1. Pod the beans and cut the courgettes into not too thin slices. Blanch the asparagus and beans for 2-3 minutes, then add the courgettes for a minute. Drain and refresh immediately in very cold water, then drain well.

2. Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion until softened. Add the rice and stir until coated in oil. Add about one third stock to just cover the rice, then simmer gently stirring as the liquid is absorbed.

3. Continue adding the stock gradually as it is absorbed, until all the liquid has been added. This could take about 15 minutes or more stirring often.

4. Stir in the vegetables, Vermouth, most of the cheese and cream. Stir until most of the liquid is absorbed, but the final risotto should very soft and creamy. Check the seasoning, sprinkle with parsley and the rest if the cheese before serving.

Creativity4Wellbeing

Richard Potter

Helping discover the benefits of creativity.

By Lynn Smith Many of us enjoyed art as schoolchildren, but for most of us this creative outlet will have ended once we left behind full time education. However, recently there seems to have been a resurgence in creative pastimes for adults – every railway station bookshop has racks of adult colouring books and, now, join-the-dots books on display.

There have been scientific papers supporting the idea of art as a life enhancing occupation, for instance in 2010 the American Journal of Public Health published a review titled, The Connection Between Art, Healing, and Public Health, and the benefits of creative/art themed

pastimes have been expounded in books, such as Art as Therapy

by Alain de Botton and John Armstrong – all endorsing the idea that becoming involved with creative pastimes can have a positive impact on health and wellbeing.

Sussex based artist Richard Potter needs no convincing, he is a firm believer in the benefits of art as a purposeful activity, a way of dealing with trauma and working through life’s challenges.

Richard sees creativity as a means by which people can rediscover a sense of belonging and personal empowerment and just under a year ago he launched his website Creativity4Wellbeing ¬fulfilling his long held dream of “creating a website full of inspirational art activities… a gift and a free resource for anyone to use and benefit from.”

Richard has always been interested in “the cathartic side of art and how it can absorb people in a mindful way.” His own experiences of depression and anxiety provided him with the impetus to “… do as much as I can for people with mental health needs and for communities.” He studied Media and Design at university before taking his PGCE in Art and Design and teaching for six years. With this background, it seemed natural for Richard to create an online resource once the software became available, and having worked in advertising for four years, as a graphic designer/illustrator he already possessed the design skills and know-how necessary to get the site up and running.

Creativity4Wellbeing took around six months to build and has now been running for five months, offering a free creative art resource for everyone – parents, facilitators and groups, with an underlying theme of ‘wellbeing.’ The website is designed to share ideas and make it easier for people to start their own activity group or art workshop in their community, to benefit others.

When first researching his ideas for a website, Richard says that he, “couldn’t find a site like Creativity4Wellbeing … I did notice some good blogs with a few art activities on some… if there

30 Charity Profile are instructions they often seem over complicated and likely to put people off. I think that people (understandably) want to protect their knowledge and art but I want open things up and make creativity/art freely available.”

With this in mind, Richard has made the website as user friendly as possible, with instructions that he hopes are as clear as possible. His objective for the website is to encourage people to discover purposeful activity, self-esteem and activity as part of a group. His hope is that the website will, “take the fear out of creativity and make it simple for people to make use of,” to enable people to lose any preconceived beliefs that art might be ‘this’ or ‘that’ or might be the domain of an art elite. He goes onto to explain that, “I’ve chosen the “Wellbeing” theme as I’m not an ‘art therapist’ and because (that) label might be a barrier to some. I also think that art is for us all and not just for ‘artists’ and art critics and those receiving therapy.”

Creativity4Wellbeing is entirely self-funded by its creator, and Richard is keen to raise awareness and promote the website, which he hopes will evolve and generate events where he can talk about the benefits – he is booked to give a talk to the Eastbourne and District Green Party in May – and organise workshops. He already facilitates a Thursday afternoon workshop at the Towner Gallery (AiM) in Eastbourne and is considering organising a conference next year to raise awareness. Richard is also interested in developing creative activities to help refugees and personnel in the armed forces, who may be suffering with Post–Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and as a means to help alleviate the suffering of those with mental health needs.

Richard also feels that it is important to think globally when helping others, and he encourages people who have benefited from his website to consider making a donation to charity TaskBrasil, which helps the street children of Brasil. He has hopes of visiting the charity at some point in the future to “spend time using the site creatively for them.”

It is still early days, but Richard says that he has

SUSSEX LOCAL already received some “genuinely wonderful comments” from people who have visited the site.

One message in particular has, in Richard’s own words, “made the whole venture worthwhile.”

Richard received a message from a woman whose husband had recently passed away, leaving behind his wife and their six year old son: “She Example of messaged me with heartfelt East Asian ink thanks for the website wash painting because it has enabled her and her son to use these activities to work through the grieving process.”

With regard to user-friendliness the website has a number of dropdown menus that take you straight into a variety of activities designed to inspire and invite people to participate. Activities range from simple projects, such as finger and hand painting, through using cut outs, papier-mâché or paper casting, and moving onto photography and 3D artwork – all of which could be used effectively by

Pensions Freedom 1 year on

By Richard Cohen JP FPFS ACII MCSI Chartered Financial Planner When the idea of allowing the over 55s to access their pension whenever and however they want was announced the fear was that people would take their entire fund and spend it in one go leaving them with nothing to live on in retirement. Just over a year down the line those fears seem unfounded. Whilst we’ve seen tweaks to how people are drawing money, for most people it’s been very much “business as usual” with most retirees after a sustainable income to last the whole of their life with at least some of their fund.

The main ways of doing this, by either purchasing an Annuity or taking withdrawals via Drawdown, have not changed but the new rules have certainly raised awareness of the latter.

schemes. The wider, more tax efficient options on death combined with the greater flexibility during your lifetime make a personal pension a more attractive option in many cases.

Once their core lifetime income needs are met an increasing number of people are happy to use the remainder of their pension to fund luxuries for a number of years, knowing that this portion of their fund will run out at some point in the future.

Ironically the changes that came in have meant that in some cases whilst the pension is now fully accessible, it has in fact become the last place you should actually draw money from. Pensions are fully inheritable without liability to inheritance tax, not just by spouses but also children, grandchildren and anyone else you chose. Therefore drawing money first from assets that would be subject to inheritance tax can be a better option. This is even more the case when you take into account that withdrawals from an asset such as an ISA are always tax free but withdrawals from a pension may well be subject to income tax. Now, more than ever a pension should be seen as just another asset in a mixed portfolio and a mix of tax wrappers.

34 Local History

SUSSEX LOCAL

The Historic Norfolk Arms Hotel

by Local Historian Mark Phillips This month, I thought I would share with you a few snippets in chronological order from the history of the Norfolk Arms Hotel (The old Georgian Coaching Inn located in Arundel High Street) that I was asked to research by the hotel management.

• In the 1770’s the George Inn, an old c16th timber-framed coaching Inn located half way up Arundel High Street and the regular meeting place for Charles Howard, the 10th Duke of Norfolk and his political allies, was definitely showing its age. (This building now houses the Book Ferret and Swaffer Antiques) so the Duke decided to build a new inn. This new inn, along with stabling and a coach house, used 185,550 bricks and opened in c1783 as the Norfolk Arms. It is on record that the Duke provided a rather precise amount of £6341 8 shillings 2 pence and 3 farthings towards the overall cost of £7235.

• The tradition of the annual ‘Buckfeast’ started to be held in the Norfolk every August. The ‘Buckfeast’, a regular event in the town since at least 1779 (until 1831), could be described as a political sweetener in which the Duke provided a buck (a male deer) as the centrepiece of a feast for the Burgesses.

• The Arundel Society for the Prosecution of Thieves and Felons, established 12th April 1796 in The Crown Inn opposite, have been holding their annual dinner at the hotel in Jan/ Feb for over 200 years and this continues to this day. They traditionally have the same menu every year.

• In 1815 Will Quailfe undertook a major refurbishment with the current tenant and under the auspices of the Duke of Norfolk. A farm was attached to the lease to make it more attractive and the fresh produce was used in the inn’s restaurant.

• In the early 1800’s the Comet Post Coach would leave the Ship Tavern in London every morning at 7am and travel via Leatherhead, Dorking, and Billingshurst before arriving at the Norfolk Arms.

• By 1910 the Norfolk had a garage at the rear and different motor engineering businesses are listed as being based there in the 20’s &

Horse and Carriage outside the Norfolk Arms Inn

30’s. One of these businesses was G.W. Hare, later to be renamed Hare & Sons, who ran the hotel garage and a car hire business from there.

• During the war years of 1939-1945 an advert for the hotel notes the price of a double room with breakfast as 1 pound & 10 shillings (£1.50) per night although for at least part of the war years, Canadian troops were stationed there.

• A local resident recalls how V.E. (Victory in Europe) day was received in the town on 8th May 1945. The local residents, a little worse from over-celebrating, decided to build a victory bonfire in the town square. Some residents then ran into the hotel and grabbed tables and chairs to add to the fire while a ‘posse’ of management and staff ran out of the hotel to take them back off.

• Hare & Sons Ltd continued to run a motor repair business on the premises until the1970’s and the name lives on in Hares Garage which recently moved from nearby Rustington to East Preston.

• A hotel menu dated Friday 28th November 1973 tells us that one could purchase a four course luncheon for £1.70 which included choices such as Grilled fillet of Plaice, Roast leg of Lamb or cold Ham and salad. However, the menu notes that wine must be purchased separately at 25p per glass.

Win a copy of ‘The Power of Nine’ The Power of Nine is a debut fantasy trilogy by Arundel author R. M. Dorn The books are set in a “multiverse” in which magic is constructed by the manipulation of the spectrum of nine colours which only “mages” can master.

The feisty heroine and the author’s storytelling have appealed to readers who do not usually choose the fantasy genre. Comments include; ‘terrific; a page-turner; beautifully written; couldn’t put it down.’

Author Rosemary enjoyed a varied professional career, and published academic books, but her busy life and many other interests, left no time for her to achieve her ambition of writing fantasy fiction.

Having retired, she decided to get down to business.

‘Writing The Power of Nine has given me the

most fun I’ve had in years and, having got the well of inspiration flowing, I’m already writing the next one, so watch this space.’
