The Oddfellows Arms Rustic, wood-beamed 17th century pub in the heart of Pulborough. By Editor Kris Thomas

(c) David Seall The Oddfellows Arms was taken over in February by Gary and Charlie who have refurbished the inside and added a pleasant covered dining area to the rear. Over the past six months Gary and Charlie have concentrated on providing a relaxed environment offering first class food with friendly service. A quick glance at Trip Advisor shows that their efforts are being repaid with the pub showing a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. We were warmly welcomed by the amiable landlords and, as the sun was still shining we decided to have a drink in the garden. Stylish glass doors lead out to the south-facing garden and covered dining area where Gary has recently installed a wood-fired pizza oven and barbecue. The garden is a good-size and, being two sets of parents, we all noted the large bouncy castle at the far end. Inside the pub is ‘olde-worlde’ traditional with a huge open fire in the bar and plenty of dark wood beams. The dining area is also traditional in style with tables a comfortable distance apart. The menu offers a varied selection from typical pub favourites including; beer battered cod and gammon with duck egg and homemade chunky fries to Moroccan spiced crusted lamb plus fish and vegetarian options too. Two of us chose a starter of garlic and chilli king prawns. The prawns were sweet and juicy with just enough chilli to heat things up and beautifully presented with a with a saffron and lime mayonnaise and fresh watercress garnish. The others went for wild mushrooms with garlic and chive cream sauce on toasted ciabatta which was creamy with crunchy

diced onion offsetting the silky mushrooms. The wine list is not vast but there’s something for everyone, we chose a Petit Chablis which was beautifully crisp and fresh and complemented our starters perfectly.

King prawn starter

I was delighted with my main course filet of Sea Bream with prawn puree and wonderfully sweet caramelised carrots. The fish was simply pan fried to perfection - tender and moist served with crunchy green beans and fresh coriander. Jeff chose the aforementioned Moroccan spiced crusted lamb which came with spicy couscous and chunky ‘salsa’ style salad including spring onions and fresh herbs from Gary’s polytunnel at the side of the pub. Our friends chose the Trio of sausages and a chicken and chorizo pizza. The sausages varied in size ranging from plump to ‘goodness are you sure you’re going to manage all those’ (he did and complimented their deliciousness). The hand made, stone-baked pizza was rustic style and generously topped with succulent chicken, rich, spicy chorizo and fresh basil and infused with a glorious, authentic wood-fired flavour. Without needing much persuasion I opted for a mouth -wateringly tangy lemon tart served with raspberry coulis and vanilla ice-cream for dessert. My companions chose sticky toffee pudding complimented by salty caramel ice-cream, crème brûlée with a hot, caramelised crunchy top covering a light, tangy, creamy dessert served with two nutty tasting shortbread biscuits. Mm-mmm. We ended the culinary delights with a pot of sweet and warming fresh mint tea (again picked from Gary’s herb poly tunnel). Starters £5-£7 per person, mains £11 - £19.50, desserts £5 - £7.50.

Sussex Snippets Sussex Wildlife Trust (SWT) is making an urgent appeal to its members and supporters to help protect dormice living in the county and, to give dormice a fighting chance of survival, is hoping to raise £40,000 to improve woodlands on their nature reserves providing ideal habitat for the nocturnal mammals to breed and thrive. Dormouse numbers have plummeted throughout Britain during the past hundred years and they are now vulnerable to extinction because of habitat loss. Find out more at: www.sussexwildlifetrust.or.uk/dormice or donate by phone 01273 497532. ‘Shake Up September’ is a national activity logging challenge run by Workplace Challenge, which aims to encourage employees to bring physical activity into the workplace by trying out as many Olympic or Paralympic sports as possible throughout the month. Inspired by Team GB, workers across the region are being urged to sign up to Workplace Challenge for free and try at least five different sports throughout ‘Shake Up September,’ - the more activities they log via the Workplace Challenge website or mobile app, the more points they will earn for their workplace as they go for gold on a national challenge leaderboard. www.workplacechallenge.org.uk/shakeup.

SUSSEX LOCAL Beating Bowel Cancer is looking for budding bakers in Sussex to help beat the UK’s second biggest cancer killer, and wants volunteers to whip up cakes or biscuits for a bake sale fundraiser at work, home, social club or sports club. The challenge is taking place anytime over the summer, and the charity aims to raise £10,000 towards its Hidden Heartache appeal, so they can support more patients and families - the money could cover the cost of the charity’s nurse helpline for three months, which could support over 600 bowel cancer patients, families and friends. bakeit@beatingbowelcancer.org, Tel:Sarah Webster, Community Fundraiser, on 07780 000996 or email: sarah.webster@beatingbowelcancer.org www.beatingbowelcancer.org. Following the success of the first Horsham District Jobs and Skills Fair in September 2015, employers offering jobs, apprenticeships and career opportunities will once again advertise their opportunities and meet with local job hunters at the Drill Hall, Denne Road, Horsham on Wednesday 14 September from 11am to 5pm. The fair, organised by Horsham District Council in partnership with The District Post, Horsham Jobcentre Plus and The College of Richard Collyer, provides an opportunity for those seeking a job, thinking of changing their existing one or considering on-the-job training through an apprenticeship to meet a wide range of employers eager to recruit and grow their organisations. As part of the National Citizen Service (NCS) summer programme, groups of West Sussex teenagers have come together to build skills for work and life while taking on new challenges: this year’s Midhurst NCS team have helped with three different projects renovating Stedham Campsite, a video to raise awareness of teen suicide, and a sponsored sleepout without tents to understand the feeling of isolation through mental illness. NCS is a country wide programme which brings together groups of 1617 year olds to help build their confidence, mix with different social groups and inspire long term change through local community-based action projects, including residential trips and a Social Action Project. www.yourspacewestsussex.co.uk From Saturday 3rd September, Worthing Museum and Art Gallery examine the ‘beauty and the beast’ in nature and human nature in their latest Main Gallery exhibition Our Nature: from Poetic to Grotesque. With a deliberately ambiguous title, the exhibition is an exploration of the constant struggle between good and evil ever present in both human nature and the natural world and how ultimately, people tread a fine line between light and dark, and the idea that beauty exists on both sides.

Making Brexit Work for Wildlife Sussex Wildlife Trusts (SWT) Chief executive, Tony Whitbread, has spoken out on Sussex wildlife’s “very uncertain future” following the EU Referendum result, in an article on SWT’s website. Amongst the uncertainties Mr Whitbread warns against are the possibility of “a much-diminished suite of tools available to help us meet our charitable objectives,” and the loss of “special protection afforded to key sites, to habitats like chalk grasslands and chalk streams, to bats and dormice, kingfishers, and Dartford warblers.” The full article can be found at: www.sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/news

Home is where the Heart is Can you imagine how you would feel if it was suggested that you leave your home and loved one and move to an “old people’s home”… Panic, anger, fear, betrayal are some words that come to mind. When the time comes for residential specialist dementia care, it is ROOM AVAILABLE NOW! when the quality of life for both sufferer and carer can be improved. Woodlands offers twenty-four hour professional care with the majority of staff having the equivalent of NVQ 3 and 4 with continuous updated courses provided. Families are able to take their loved one out or enjoy home made tea and cake in a relaxed atmosphere within the home daily or when ever is possible for them. This allows for quality social time, and families know that the personal, nutritional and complex care needs of their loved ones are being provided for every hour of the day. There is however one fact that is not frequently admitted. This is… that the earlier this move takes place, the better the result for the resident as they are able to cope with the changes to their lifestyle. No-one wants to make this sad decision, and in reality the temptation is to wait and “see how it goes”. Unfortunately, what so often happens is a catastrophe! A fall, midnight walk, not to mention all the little things that can play havoc with Dementia - lack of nutrition, hydration, cleanliness leading to infections and indeed the appearance that the actual Dementia is worse than it is! Why would we want minimum care at home, instead of the continuously caring atmosphere where a sufferer of Dementia is protected from all of the fear, indignity and complete isolation they experience most of the time. Come and visit Woodlands and see the difference professional family care could make for your loved one. We have a saying at Woodlands, “Enable a person to be the best they can be!” For further information and to visit Woodlands House contact me Oonagh Cacioppo Manager/ Proprietor: house.woodlands@gmail.com 01903725458 or 07815762623

Wild about Wildlife - Sussex Wildlife Trust Veronica Cowan speaks to new chairman Carole Nicholson Many threats face the British countryside. Don't take my word for it: experts at the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs, said in a recent policy paper that biodiversity - the sheer variety of life on earth - is declining, and up to a third of animals are threatened with extinction. It states: “In England, much of our biodiverCarole Nicholson sity, including many of our birds, butterflies and plants, is declining. Our wildlife areas are too disjointed and fragmented, which makes it harder for wildlife to flourish and respond to climate change and other pressures, like pollution. All countries need to act to improve biodiversity and preserve natural ecosystems. Otherwise the natural environment, wildlife and human life - as we know it - are all at risk.�

Wildlife Trusts want to eradicate, or, at the very least, significantly reduce such threats, and there is a Wildlife Trust working for wildlife and wild places in many local communities, 38 in England alone, 6 in Wales and Trusts in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Alderney. Each are independent, autonomous charities with their own trustees. Their primary concern is the conservation of nature within their own geographical area. Sussex Wildlife Trust is the largest nature conservation organisation in the county of Sussex, and is the only conservation charity solely concentrating on the habitats and wildlife for the people of Sussex. It has 30,000 members, but would love you to join if you are not already a member. Its work includes environmental education, working with landowners, businesses and local communities and the care of downland, woodland, wetland and heath. Carole Nicholson is its new chairman. She lives in Plumpton with her husband, Paul, and whilst she is interested in the countryside, she doesn't let the grass grow under her feet. She played a leading role in the Plumpton Village Action Plan, which achieved an 82% response rate in its original questionnaire, and had 80 volunteers helping to make the aspirations of the community become reality. One of the achievements has been the foundation of a thriving Wildlife and Habitat Group in the village. She had been a trustee of the Sussex Wildlife Trust since 2011, and for the past four years held the role of honorary treasurer of the registered charity, based

Her professional background is in finance, and she spent 14 years with MEPC plc, a leading British-based property investment and development business, where she was group treasurer and finance director of the UK operation. She then spent ten years in consulting and finance director roles, including at the Excel Exhibition Centre in Docklands and BPD plc, a start-up pharmaceutical business. She has also been a non-executive director and chairman of audit committees in several Ministry of Defence departments, and in 2009, became a nonexecutive director on the Board, and chairman of the audit committee of the Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust. With all that business and financial acumen, she clearly knows how to manage money, but how does the Trust raise funds, and are there governmental grants it can access? "We have been in receipt of an EU grant for managing land in the countryside, a stewardship role but we don't do a lot of that and it is not a huge part of our income. The mainstay of the charity is its members, appeals and legacy income. We have also received charitable trust grants.” The Trust is having its inaugural fundraising ball on 17 September, in the grounds of Folkington Manor, in the heart of the South Downs National Park near Eastbourne. It is also keen to ensure that nature conservation is given proper consideration in a post-Brexit economy, and that funding for environmentally friendly farming will be retained and developed, and that legislation to protect wildlife will be strengthened in an independent UK. Mrs. Nicholson said that, as a member of a group of 47 other wildlife trusts around the country, they will lobby to get at least as much protection as before. Does the Trust need more volunteers, and what kind of work is done by volunteers? "Volunteers are very important and we currently have over 400,” she said, explaining that they can work outdoors, doing jobs such as scrub clearing, or work with groups of children and young people, or help in an office environment. Mrs Nicholson reports that the Trust has recently taken on a volunteer development manager to make it a centre of excellence for those who help with the environment. The aim is also to develop and expand volunteer opportunities throughout the Trust to enable it to increase capacity in delivering its aims, including fundraising and professional skills. Examples of its work appear in the Trust’s regular newsletters, and July’s edition reported that Graffham Common, in West Sussex, was to pass a significant milestone over the summer, with the arrival of some of the Trust’s British White cattle. This would be the first time this site has been grazed in decades. The Trust had acquired the nature reserve in two phases.

It was a pine plantation with enough heather to show its potential, but needed a lot of work to restore the heathland. Another nature reserve, known for its spring displays of Wild Daffodil and coppice management, is West Dean Woods. Under Richard Ede, its Volunteer Reserve Manager, the volunteer group continued to thrive, and although he recently stood down, he will remain involved as a volunteer. As well as being Chairman of the Trust, Mrs Nicholson uses any spare time to volunteer for it, doing fixedpoint photography on its nature reserves to support the work of its Land Management team and is one of

She and her husband have been members for seventeen years, and her becoming chairman coincides with the rewriting of the Trust’s vision for Sussex. She sees herself as the lead motivator in the new strategy, but stresses: ”It is a shared endeavour as we are all in this together. No one part of the organisation can do it alone.”

SUSSEX LOCAL Sussex Wildlife Trust has a thriving department working with children and young people, and teaches around 20,000 children a year, and Mrs. Nicholson explains: “A crucial challenge is to create and maintain a living landscape, and we need to bring people with us. There is a vital connection between people and nature and we want to get children enthused about nature.” Social media is one way of doing this, because one problem is reaching young people. “We need to get them as young as possible but getting schools to put this on the curriculum, with all the other demands on schools, is difficult,” she explains.

Win a pair of tickets to see Carmen at the Hawth, Crawley on Friday 7th October The highly acclaimed Russian State Opera returns with a mix of fierce passion and gorgeous melodies Feel the thrill and passion of love, jealousy and violence of 19th Century Seville in one of Bizet’s most popular pieces; Carmen. Its mix of fierce passion, gorgeous melodies, nailbiting dramatic confrontations and musical wit has found favour all over the world almost since its first performance in 1875. Carmen tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by Carmen, free-spirited femme fatale. José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties, yet loses Carmen's love to the glamorous toreador Escamillo. The rich and colourful vigour of the gypsies’ scenes will have you on the edge of your seat, and the vibrancy, enthusiasm and intensity of the performance will reverberate long after the final curtain.

If you’ve never tried opera before, you will love this full orchestra experience with fantastic colourful costumes, exquisite singing and those wonderful tunes that the audience will still be humming to themselves on their way home, making this a must see opera production for everyone. Love, treachery, passion and betrayal, Carmen has it all! Box Office: Crawley, The Hawth - 01293 553636

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib of Glorious Gardens Ornamental grasses can really come into their own in September with Miscanthus throwing up enormous plumes of pink seed heads. Try growing Japanese anemonies amongst them. Both are bullet proof and will give a grace to that part of the garden.

Colour up your September! September heralds that paradox of seasons where the sunshine is still strong, nature is still lush, memories of the Summer holiday still fresh yet the light starts to brighten and thin out, the air becomes heavy with that Autumn musty scent and the night arrives earlier each day. Nature offers up all it’s hard work during the Summer in the form of fruit and vegetables. However sometimes a garden can start to look faded before its time. Your garden should still look sumptuous and colourful in this month. Let’s start with your herbaceous borders... Dahlias, Chrysanthemums and Asters can be dotted about and each species has a selection of heights so you can weave them in and out of your planting combinations. As long as you have kept up with dead heading, Pennstemons can flower well into November and can give you a wistful romantic quality, with bright whites, pinks and deep purples to balance the fading of other plants as Autumn starts to suck green and colour from the beds. I like some splashes of Erigeron Karvinskianus with its bright daisy flowers that self seed at the front of areas of the beds. These are nice amongst Verbena rigida and is a combination that will flower well into Autumn. In pots you can have Autumn/Winter pansies and Winter Cherries that can last up till Christmas providing the frosts are kind.

For your shrub borders, look to the enormous range of Hydrangeas and ones like Paniculata ‘Unique’ which loves semi shade. What goes well with these are the Rosa rugosa range, with their bright red rose hips. Ceratostigma plumbaganoides puts out the most ultra violet blue flowers which you can see from down the road and is an excellent mid border choice. The architectural Sedum range, with their bright pink or reddish plate like seed heads start to sing out loud this month and can be included in both a shrub and a herbaceous border.


SUSSEX LOCAL

36 Gardening If you are lacking trees that come into their own in Autumn look to Rhus typhia ‘Tiger Eyes’. At only 4 foot high it can suit the smallest garden and it’s sword like leaves turn every shade of orange, red and yellow imaginable. The Japanese range of Acers will always look great- look up Acer palmatum’ ‘Fireglow’ if you want a well behaved feature tree in your lawn or in the middle of a large bed. Euonymous plamipes, the Spindle Tree, have the brightest pink seeds possible and thrives on a chalk soil. If you have a large garden you MUST have a Liquidamber or two. No tree can counter the Autumn Blues better than this one. For climbers a late flowering Clematis is ‘Casandra’ with its lavender blue flowers.

Things to do in September Time to visit Parham house As well as a 4 acre walled garden, glasshouse,

orchard and veg garden you can buy a good selection of perennials. You can also have tours of the house and gardens. 4th September - Open Air Theatre with the Lord Chamberlain’s Men 24th-25th September the Parham Harvest Fair - with live cookery demonstrations, deer walks, gun dog displays, fungi foraging, working horse cart rides in the Parkland, falconry displays, Tudor cooking demonstrations and Tudor dancing in the House. Wide array of stalls selling food, drink and country wares.


Gardening

What to do in September Don’t forget to plant bulbs now! If you aim to plant a lot, which will make the best display, look on line to order from the bigger companies. And always plant in generous clumps in your beds- 12 tulips here, 12 in another area. Better clumps than lots of little single ones which can look a threadbare and lonely.

37

Other things to do: Divide any of your favourite Perennials (the RHS web site often has videos to show you how to divide particular species)

Ideally you will consult your little Spring note book which you assiduously marked down where you needed to put more Daffodils, Tulips and Alliums! As well as the usual suspects if you have really good free draining soil, a raised bed or a pot near the front door try planting Crown Imperials. They will amaze visitors and herald the Spring like no other bulb. And though they seem to have gone out of fashion, bedeck your lawn with Crocus bulbs. All your neighbours with their astro turf will peer over the fence jealously (unless they have developed a plastic version of them that you screw in for Spring!)

Keep on eye on the weather and if early frosts set in gather the rest of your outdoor tomatoes indoors and let them ripen in a bowl (Greenhouse tomatoes should be ok till October) Harvest the rest of your potatoes You can still sow lettuce and start planning the beds if you want to sow winter salads. You might like to net up your pond if you have big trees nearby so the water won’t get chocked with rotting leaves all winter.

Clear Appeal Windows, doors & conservatories For many people the words "double glazing" evoke images of over enthusiastic salesmen. Thankfully nowadays reputable companies tend to adopt a more customer-focused approach. Brian Attwater has over 30 years experience in windows and home improvements. Brian has been in business since 2008 with his son Mark (pictured above) and told us that he believes the future growth of the company depends upon dedicated customer service. In his opinion an open and honest approach is of prime importance both at the quotation stage and during fitting. He described the company’s wide range of windows, doors and conservatories with designs and colours selected to satisfy the most discerning client. He particularly praised the Kommerling Valentis Curve PVCU windows and the bi-fold scenic patio doors. Brian is happy to offer a quotation by phone or via the website and offers a follow up survey to ensure there are no hidden extras. Tel 01903 765 506 or visit www.attwaterhomeimprovements.co.uk

PCSO Changes A new PCSO role has been introduced to proactively problem solve and tackle local issues. With new skills and powers to deal with a wide range of local problems, they can act to resolve issues such as alcohol fuelled anti-social behaviour from their very first day. PCSOs will continue to patrol, however these patrols will be targeted to areas where they know they can make a difference. They will be helping prevent crimes such as burglary and anti-social behaviour and complete tasks in ways that are proven to reduce crime and keep people safe. They will be an integral part of larger teams solving local problems, working alongside partners and directly with witnesses and victims to respond to community issues. Making use of mobile technology, PCSOs will access information whilst out in the community. The flexible nature of their new role means they can work when and where they are needed, logging on remotely, as well as working from police and shared premises.

The key issues to note are: • There is no longer a named PCSO for a parish area. • Horsham NPT have amalga mated with Adur & Worthing NPT to create a hub based approach. • There will be PCs and PCSOs based at either Worthing or Horsham police station. • If you need to contact the team email: horshamnpt@sussex.pnn.police.uk

Those who survive depend on the scraps left in the wake of an over-indulgent postapocalyptic humanity, which clings to the remains of a broken metropolis. The Shadow Class becomes an increasing concern as its numbers swell; a direct result of ineffective government policies that fail to address the problem. This ultimately prompts a desperate government to begin an unethical process of forced relocation, known as ‘The Rout’, ignored by an uncaring society looking to bury its problems. Abandoned by his parents, left to endure a nomadic childhood in various children’s homes, followed by teen life surviving outdoors on the streets, Callum develops a resolute determination to endure the horrors life throws at him. He is a, survivor; able to think fast on his feet, yet his principles hasten his near death during a chance encounter with an enigmatic alien entity. Callum is given a choice; either take his chances with his now ruined body, or gamble on a new life.
