Sussex Snippets

A small group is trying to get a memorial sited to honour the aircraft and crew that crashed near Chatteris, Cambridgeshire. One of the aircrew they will be remembering is Sgt Ronald Williams who came from Northiam, Sussex and was on a training flight in a Miles Master which crashed on 2nd February 1943. The group would love to hear from relatives or anyone who knew this man so that they can get more information for a booklet that will be published in support of the Memorial. If you have any information, visit www.facebook.com and search for ‘RAF Memorial Chatteris Group.’

Dementia Support has launched ‘The Wayfinder Appeal’ to fund more personal advisors and lifechanging dementia support services, to enable the charity to reach more families in Sussex. To help raise the £1 million urgently needed for this unique, local and essential charity appeal, you can donate at www.dementia-support.org.uk Sussex Wildlife Trust’s annual photography competition is open for entries, including a £100 cash prize.

Submit your local wildlife photography showing the beautifully vibrant and varied nature of Sussex to sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/discover/photo-competition South Downs Writer in Residence Sara Clifford has spent the last few months chatting to over 500 peo-

ple across the Downs and has now weaved all the stories she gathered into a one person show, Cherry Soup. The show will be performed in nine different locations across the South Downs in September.

Venue information and tour dates can be found on www.sussexlocal.net/cherry-soup Ash Dieback has already been discovered in some trees in West Sussex meaning almost 20 per cent of the entire woodland covering is at risk. The disease, which is spreading across Europe, is presently incurable meaning Ash–the most common tree in West Sussex, could disappear from the landscape forever.

Adur and Worthing’s parks team is carrying out an urgent study of the extent of the problem in two areas, The Gallops in Worthing and Lancing Ring in Adur. If you are concerned about an ash tree, email : environmentalservices@adur-worthing.gov.uk West Sussex is missing out on a massive 22,000 tonnes a year of recycling. To highlight the issue WSCC have produced a video. To watch the video, find out more about the campaign and explore what can and can’t be recycled in West Sussex see: www.thinkbeforeyouthrow.co.uk Development work has started on the restoration of Stanmer Park’s historic Walled Garden as part of a major project to restore Brighton’s largest park and a gateway to the South Downs National Park. The £5.1 million project will see the area transformed into an attractive formal garden with a new café, shop and opportunities for horticultural teaching.

The first Sussex Police Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) Public Awareness Campaign was recently launched.

This recognises ASB as a societal problem which requires a robust partnership approach and positive policing. The local Crime Commissioner wants local residents to be reassured that Sussex Police is taking ASB seriously and acknowledging the negative and cumulative effect that it has on our communities.

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service is calling on those who drive for work, managers and business owners to help reduce risk on the road after 680 collisions occurred on local roads last year where 9 people sadly died, and 137 were seriously injured. More information on staying safe and other resources can be found by visiting www.drivingforbetterbusiness.com.

More than 1,700 people came to the Wild Chalk event at East Brighton Park to learn more about the local chalk grasslands. Events staff handed out dozens of “Bee Bombs” – packs of wildflower seeds – to people to help support pollinators in their gardens as part of the National Park’s “Bee Lines” campaign.

September will see a celebration of England’s wonderful history and culture for the annual Heritage Open Days. A number of events are taking place in the National Park, including a Heritage Weekend in Petworth. The project has received grant funding from the Authority’s Sustainable Communities Fund.

Planning for Dementia Woodlands, is a long and well established care home for the elderly, near the beach in a quiet residential area of Littlehampton.

We are proud of our five good stars from CQC due to the outstanding consistent efforts of its staff, one celebrating 30 years service at Woodlands this year! We believe that consistent staff is key to the happiness of our residents.

ROOM AVAILABLE NOW!

Residents at Woodlands have choices that they are capable of making NOW – not tomorrow. By this I don’t just mean lunch or tea in the garden. Occasionally residents might prefer to be quiet in their own rooms, where they can have their meals, enjoy their own company or their visitors. Each resident is invited to join an activity or just observe. It could be skittles, exercise, dancing, visiting entertainers, animals or a game. It might involve a few, or be on a one to one basis, but the choice is now… because this may be the only way they think.

So, we relax and make the best of every day. Our endeavour is to “let every resident be the best they can be”! At the same time maintaining all the high standards set, not only by the authorities but our own ethos of care for both our residents and our staff. And it is this that makes Woodlands different from most care homes.

If you are thinking of professional care for a loved one now or in the future, consider Woodlands House, a small luxury family-run care home. CQC 5 STARS rated.

VISIT us and you will know what you are looking for when you have to choose!

For further information and to visit Woodlands House contact Oonagh Cacioppo Manager/Proprietor email: house.woodlands@gmail.com call 01903 725458 or 07815 762623.

West Chiltington Village Show Last month, the sun shone and welcomed the first Show Parade for 60 years at the West Chiltington Village Show. As the village’s Silver Band played the procession in, the Intergenerational Banner was proudly held high and taken around the show ground followed by members of the community, many of

whom had played a part in making the banner. It was a fun procession and poignant in bringing together so many members of the community to recognise the purpose of the original parade in 1919. Reverend David Coleman opened the show and Pauline Lugton the show’s chairman then presented a Certificate of Award to West Chiltington Community School in recognition of their work in promoting friendship and understanding between older and younger people, when they worked together to make the banner.

ABC Animal Sanctuary Fayre

The ABC Animal Sanctuary in West Chiltington is holding a fun-packed Harvest Fayre on Sunday 22nd September.

A selection of live music, local produce stalls, delicious food and drinks and family activities will entertain visitors throughout the day. The Harvest Fayre is held in Juggs Lane, West Chiltington from 11am-4:30pm.

Lodge Hill Trust re-naming

To celebrate 20 years since Penny Hardwick OBE, JP, DL founded the Lodge Hill Trust Outdoor Activity Centre situated near Pulborough, a ceremony was held in her memory.

Penny’s daughter, JenJennifer Pemberton nifer Pemberton, unveiled a plaque naming Lodge Hill’s main house “Hardwick Hall” in the presence of Sir Brian Barttelot, President of the Lodge Hill Trust, Matthew Wykes, Chair of the Trustees and Lisa May, CEO. Penny’s perseverance and dedication secured the future of Lodge Hill for the benefit of generations of children, young people and adults of all abilities from Sussex and surrounding areas. The naming ceremony coincided with the completion of the Vision project which has seen the refurbishment of the residential facilities and bedrooms, refitted kitchens, the building of two large Orangery extensions and a large paved assembly area. This was only made possible after extensive fundraising resulting in generous and kind donations. The first Orangery extension has transformed the room into a beautiful bright dining room large enough for 120 people, whilst the second Orangery extension, the Bradbury Lounge, has transformed the Library into a much larger bright room with amazing views across Pulborough Brooks to the South Downs.

Electric car changing point for Sandham Hall?

As communities all around the country declare a climate emergency, we are all encouraged to help reduce our negative impact on the environment. In 2040, sales Proposed location of the EVCP of new petrol and diesel cars will be banned, with pressure to bring this date forward to 2032 as is the case in Scotland. So, the era of the electric car is upon us and it is important that everyone who wants to can be a part of this, even those with nowhere to plug in an electric vehicle. For this reason, the management committee of Sandham Hall is looking into the installation of an Electric Vehicle Charging Point (EVCP) in the village hall car park for use by the community and passersby. The village hall is uniquely placed to do this because: it’s on the main road (A29); it has a spacious car park which is well used but rarely full; it already has a 3-phase electricity supply; and installing an EVCP would not impact on traffic through the village.

Sandham Hall are at the consultation stage with this idea and are keen to gauge opinion and flush out any expertise in EVCPs that there may be in the local

community. So far, the management team have one installation proposal for a 22kW system. This would charge a 30kW car battery from flat in 90 mins. However, users rarely charge from flat, so the majority of plug-in times are likely to be between 30 and 60 minutes. If you would like to see the proposal or contribute your thoughts to Sandham Hall, please contact Simon at: simon@colalife.org

Aldingbourne Country Centre run new pre-school activities The Aldingbourne Country Centre will be running preschool activities from September in their newly decorated soft play area.

These sessions will be around an hour long, running in both the morning and afternoon, and will be specially created for 0-5 years.

Jamie’s Farm Helping Children Thrive through Farming, Family & Therapy

By Lynn Smith Jamie Feilden Founder and CEO of Jamie’s Farm, believes that social and academic exclusion is one of the most pressing issues facing young people and society today. Jamie’s Farm provides a preventative solution to this problem, through a unique provision of ‘Farming, Family, Therapy, Legacy,’ provided by a residential and follow-up programme.

Jamie’s Farm works with schools and other organisations to target some of the most vulnerable, and often by definition this means the most at-risk young people across England and Wales. Now the organisation has brought its unique provision to East Sussex, opening its fourth Jamie’s Farm in Plumpton, Lewes.

When I speak to Jamie Feilden he tells me that he is, “Really excited to be in the area and looking for opportunities to be involved with local people.”

Back in 2005, Jamie was teaching in a state school when the idea of enabling disadvantaged young people to thrive through residential experiences on working farms took hold. At the time Jamie was teaching at an inner city school in Croydon - an experience he describes as “profound and challenging” - and found

himself working with children who exhibited poor behaviours and a lack of engagement. Having grown up on a small farm near Bath, Jamie had brought some of his own lambs into the school for the children to look after, and realised that the children who benefited most from being given the responsibility and care of the animals were those children who had most difficulty focussing and engaging in school.

Jamie felt that the sort of experiences he had gained growing up on a farm could benefit some of the children he was now teaching and so Jamie and his mother, a trained psychotherapist, came up with the idea of combining farming, family and therapy to be provided in week long visits to the family farm. Jamie says that growing up his experiences were physical – lifting hay bales, chopping logs - and he felt that showing the children what hard work felt like and the sense of achievement and satisfaction it could bring would have a positive impact.

The first group to visit the farm were seven children from Jamie’s school in Croydon, they spent five days on the farm – as do all of the school groups – and Jamie’s beliefs were proven by what he describes as “amazing achievements.” From the outset he witnessed better relationships with teachers, “As they work alongside each other both teachers and pupils

are working outside of their comfort zones and see each other in a different light.”

From that first visit it became clear that the combination of farming, a framework of family support and therapy worked and Jamie then piloted the scheme with, “… three to four groups a year to get going and prove that we had something.”

By 2008 Jamie had left teaching to work on Jamie’s Farm full time, two more farms followed – in Hereford and Monmouth - before the Lewes farm was launched; thanks to an insistent supporter, who was keen to have Jamie’s Farm in East Sussex, where he believed there were great opportunities and an important catchment that could benefit from working with the organisation. Fortunately, Jamie was able to lease a farm in Plumpton and Jamie’s Farm Lewes welcomed its first group in March of this year.

Jamie says that the charity’s model works because it takes the children “ ...out of the city so that they can reflect on their situations,” and shows them, “what hard work and achievement feels like and what being part of a supportive family for a week feels like … and gives them time to reflect.”

When I ask about the possible perils of having a group of lively, potentially disruptive, children on a farm, with livestock and farm machinery, Jamie tells me that each farm has a core team of five to six “very skilled and well trained members of staff,” with a couple of part-time workers, and operates “strong risk assessments,” and that in addition each school group is accompanied by two or three members of staff. Each farm is, Jamie explains, “a proper working farm” that must, not only, be self-sufficient but is also expected to generate income for the charity.

The Lewes farm has breeding ewes, cattle and pigs and so far thirteen different groups have visited, four of whom are from East Sussex, and the organisation is “excited about being part of the Sussex community”

A community that has, so far, been very receptive to the organisation and Jamie is hopeful that the community will offer plenty of fundraising opportunities. Essential as a group of 10-12 children visiting a farm for five days costs around £13,000.

The visiting school or organisation pays fifty percent of the cost of its groups’ stay with the remainder being met by the charity itself. Jamie tells me that funds come from trusts and foundations, and from fundraising efforts. The charity received a boost when it was named South of England Agricultural Society’s (SEAS) Charity of the Year 2019, which Jamie describes as, “A great way to increase our profile and meet our supporters.”

Ever enterprising, Jamie’s Farms has found another way to generate income, letting the farmhouses at weekends through Air BnB. Offering individuals the opportunity to not only recharge their own batteries by spending time in beautiful places and staying on a working farm, but to contribute to a worthwhile enterprise – a weekend break with a real feel-good factor.

Lydia Booth Photography

Like most charities, Jamie‟s Farm works with volunteers, but as well as people to help with events and fundraising, the charity is also looking for volunteers who are willing to share specific skills with the children.

Jamie tells me that in the past they have had people skilled in carpentry, gardening and cooking come to pass on their knowledge. Volunteering opportunities can be found on the website and via newsletters.

Jamie says that the charity‟s current focus is on making the Sussex farm a success, raising the farm‟s profile further by meeting people and telling them the story. The charity has “been blessed with the number

Jamie explains how powerful it can be to see how receptive children are to the experience, how they can reframe themselves in a very positive way, thrive on their time at the farms and continue to do so once they leave. Statistics provided by the charity states that, “66 percent of children displayed improved engagement six months after visiting.” He also tells me of teachers who say that at the beginning of the week they wouldn‟t have taken a particular child “as far as the bus stop,” but who are delighted and amazed at how that child responds to life on the farm.

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks

by Andrew Staib, Principal Designer of Glorious Gardens Bulbs in your Garden Design One Plan for an amazing Spring now! Now is the time to plant Bulbs! Nothing heralds Spring with greater brass band fanfare than bulbs. Just when you thought the world would never again turn to the sunnier side of the universe, out come the bulbs. Most try to get up and out into the light before the trees have come into leaf so you can make maximum advantage of this by trying to plant bulbs in combination with other ones. This year why not be a bit bolder in your choice of bulbs and the amount you plant. Below are some tips on what and where to plant this month.

Planting in Woodland Look around and see if you have any shady areas under trees. Bulbs love this space as it is free from footfall, the trees are not yet into leaf so there is plenty of light and there is reduced chance of being waterlogged.

Choose natural colonisers like Daffodils, Crocus, English Bluebells, Snowdrops and Grape Miscari. They will multiply year upon year and make the shady area the great focal point of Spring‟s arrival. Also think about large swathes of Anemone blanda as it will spread and be with you forever.

Lawn It is not fashionable these days but why not plant up a large area of your lawn with Crocuses. They will delight you when they push up through the grass and in the 70‟s colour scheme of purples, whites and yellows and they are easily mown over once they have wilted away. You could also collect saffron which are the red stamens inside the flower!

Meadow If you have a meadow section of your garden Fritillaria meleagris is an endangered species in Europe so why not plant these chequerboard patterned beauties amongst your daffodils.

Pots Now is the time to cram your pots with tulips. Tulips are a living meditation on impermanence as most don‟t come back the following year- so a few weeks of display and that‟s it. But what a way to awaken colour in your garden. If you have a very sheltered and hot spot try Freesia - their scent will intoxicate you.

Plant in big groups Don‟t be tempted to buy 5 of these and 6 of those. If you want maximum impact buy in bulk. It is cheaper

and the different between 20 daffodils and 200 creates a completely different effect. Even in big pots go for 12-15 tulips rather than a few. And if you are planting them in borders it is better to have three clumps of 15 than 45 bulbs dotted about the place looking lonely.

through the door

37

38 Gardening Go for the unusual Try Frittilaria Crown Imperials, the mad looked Allium „Hair‟, Narcissi „Rip Van Winkle‟ or Tulipa „Wow‟ and again plant in a couple of nice big clumps, maybe on both sides of your doorway so you can enjoy them many times a day. You can also try the giant Snowdrop Leucojuim in a quiet corner of the garden.

coming up all the way through the year as if they are passing the baton to each other. For example you can buy Very Early, Early, Mid and Late flowering Tulips and Daffodils. Also you can factor in the corm families as well with Agapanths, Cannas and Irises as well as Dahlias. There are also Crinums for the end of summer, bright pink Nerines and Cyclamen hederifolium for Autumn as well as autumn flowering Colchicums with their ghostly translucent hue.

Planting Advice

Bulb Combinations

The packet that the bulbs arrive in will normally tell you the depth and spacing for planting up. If you are planting in clumps, dig a whole section of the bed about 40cm in diameter rather than try to plant them individually. Bulbs as a rule need very well drained soil so if you are in a lot of clay, really prepare the soil well with grit and organic improver and even then you will have to experiment with what survives.

Try these; Agapanthas and Wild Garlic, large pale pink Hyacinths with the pale blue of Miscarri Baby‟s Breath, Tete-a-Tete Narcissi with Fritillaria. Also look at the maximum and minimum heights of your borders and position accordingly, eg Allium altissima at 1.5m and Allium Christophii at 35cm Successional planting Make a column where you make sure you have bulbs

Taking Care If you have planted in pots make sure they don‟t dry out which is possible if we have a dry Autumn or Winter.

Bulbs like a mulch feed whether in pots or in the open ground so this can be done now after you have

Plant in amongst other plants You can plant your bulbs in amongst evergreen ground cover which doubles the use of the space and also hides the foliage once the bulbs have finished.

Try planting in amongst an area of Periwinkle, Ajuga, Violets or even Ivy.

40 Gardening planted them. If you deadhead the old flowers once they have finished then you will stop the plant having to produce seeds which can weaken it. Most people though like to leave the old seed heads of Alliums to dry out as they look very sculptural over the Summer and Autumn. Lastly if you leave the foliage to die back naturally then more of the energy of the plant can return to the bulb increasing its health.

Where to go in September This is your very last chance to see Chiltern Lodge this year. An exquisite garden developed by Lady Collum for over 40 years, it features a series of interlocking room, each one with a different purpose plus a "feel-a- herb" garden, pool room, water rill room and classical sandstone summer house. The garden is lovingly tended with an eye for detail and simple colour palettes. It is open to the public just a few days of the year so put a date in your diary now. Also put Sheffield Park in your diary for its dazzling autumnal displays of mature trees.

Correction for August article In the History part of the St Mary's House article "The pilgrims were on their way to Canterbury Cathedral to worship the shrine of Thomas Becket" This should have been "to worship at the shrine of Thomas Becket" Andrew apologies for the mistake and thank you to our reader from Findon Valley for pointing this out.

September tasks  Pinch out your tomatoes and sow new rills of lettace, radishes and spinach  Keep up the watering. For years now we have been having sunny and dry Septembers  Top up the mulch to retain moisture and keep weeds down (don’t forget they kept on growing until Christmas last year!)  Prune the bigger shrubs that have finished flowering like Wygelia, Philadelpus, and Sprireacut out the old flowering wood back to new growth that next year’s flowers will bloom from.

A harder cut of the Wysteria can wait till January.  Mow your lawn on a higher setting to keep moisture in the grass to help mitigate against summer browning in dry spells  Plan where you want your bulbs to come out in Spring. You can order them now for planting in November.

Micro homes

By Chris Ennis FRICS A micro home is a small, self-contained residential accommodation unit typically less than 37 square metres in size. Very often such residential units are arranged as studio apartments, and they offer very acceptable compact one person facilities. There are many such properties in the area, and following the relaxation of some planning regulations, there are likely to be many more.

The average size of a UK home is 76 square metres, but in Europe the average size is almost double. The smallest UK unit that I have unearthed is 8 metres in size, and that is about the size of a standard UK parking space. A standard ‘Travel lodge’ room is approximately 28 square metres. A good example of compact attractive living can be seen at the Southampton IKEA store where they have constructed a ‘show flat’.

There are many reasons why compact accommodation is so popular, including reduced cost of purchase, low upkeep costs, insurance and council tax.

In addition, the demand for single person occupancy is rising with offspring eager to live independent lives, divorce etc. A micro home is a good way to get a foot on the property ladder and is likely to remain readily lettable as an investment.

In 2013 the Government introduced ‘permitted development rights’ which allowed property developers to convert offices and some other commercial users into flats without submitting a formal planning application. Of course the properties still had to comply with building regulations .

In Durrington there are at least two onetime large office buildings now in the course of conversion.

Micro homes are mortgageable, subject to the particular requirements of the lending institution and the normal valuation process.

In my opinion smaller homes are likely to become more popular as property prices rise, and the pattern of family living changes with modern technologies.

175 years and counting...

Year R enjoying Sports Morning whilst the cows watch on

Ofsted seems a distant memory, hard to remember it was only in October that our curriculum was being so highly praised. The school continues to go from strength to strength with new additions to the learning environment happening all of the time.

This year has seen a newly built art/DT/science room thank the support of the Arts Society South Downs; new outdoor classrooms thanks to Tesco Bags of Help; and Little Birds Forest Nursery have now been on site for a whole year. I would like to say thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last couple of years – the future is looking bright indeed.

Bury CE Primary has now been here for an amazing 175 years. We are marking this tremendous occasion by inviting people back to the school on the morning of Wednesday 11th September to get involved creating a new sign for the front of our school.

Tips for getting back on track after holiday

By Heather Smith For many, myself included, it is difficult to simply switch off the habits we create on holiday. But, needs must, and when we get home to hear what our impolite scales have to say about our holiday, we realise our focus needs to turn more towards health again.

Here are my top tips for getting back on course when you return.

When you’ve got the feeling that you’re ready to make a fresh start, its easy to think you’ll be able to get up half an hour earlier every day, or that you’ll feel inspired to cook a new recipe every night. But remember, consistency is key. Only commit to what you are certain you can do every single week without fail, regardless of what else is going on.

Shift your focus, make things positive and they will be easier to keep in place for the long term. Focus on what delicious meals you can make, rather than the foods you’re avoiding. Focus on getting better at whatever

exercise you’ve chosen to do, rather than beating yourself through with the sole purpose of losing weight.

People who get less good quality sleep start the day with higher blood sugar levels, crave more sugar, and overall eat more calories.

Wind down for bed - turn screens off by 9pm, read a book or have a soak in the bath, then get into bed.

This will help your body produce melatonin which will help you nod off more easily and stay asleep.

Although you do need a calorie deficit if you're trying to lose weight, don't just play the numbers game.

Particularly at the beginning of your journey, you'll often find that eating the same amount of calories across three meals rather than drip feeding them throughout the day has a big difference on the way your body responds.

affect the defensive barrier. Occasionally active dogs will have a grass seed that can lodge into and migrate within the canal causing acute pain and inflammation. Also, secondary infections from yeast and bacteria soon set themselves up in the ear canal.

If your dog’s constantly shaking, scratching, or rubbing its head they may have a soar ear.

As well as inflamed, itchy and painful ears you may see your dog rubbing their head on the floor and shaking their head.

Ear disease is annoying for both the owner and pet alike Dr Julian Hoad since it causes a painful, irritating, itchy, malodorous ear. It’s no wonder that it is one of the most common complaints when seeking veterinary advice and also one of the most frustrating to treat.

Treatment is based on keeping the ear relatively wax free and dry. Changing the canal to a more acidic environment with specific astringent cleaners, using anti-fungal, anti-bacterial medications and ensuring adequate air flow are the suggested treatments. In severe cases gentle ear flushing under a general anaesthetic is needed to remove debris deep inside the canal without compromising the ear drum.

The external ear canal of a dog comes in a myriad of shapes and sizes due to decades of selective breeding. For the most part a dog’s ear canal is an L shaped tube lined with special skin cells that secrete a waxy material designed to protect the ear against moisture and infection. At one end of the tube is a fragile thin membrane protecting the middle ear called the tympanic membrane, commonly known as the ear drum. Problems will arise when this defensive barrier is abnormal. Whether they are too narrow or very hairy, both irregularities can block air flow and cause moisture retention. Underlying skin conditions such as allergies and over production of wax can also

An important point to note is that ear problems can potentially return so owners must be vigilant with all medications and future monitoring for recurrence is essential.

Foreign bodies such as grass seeds must be gently removed but seek veterinary help with these since the ear drum is a delicate structure and your vet will have special instruments to aid in seeing and retrieving the material safely.

Coldwaltham PC Edited extracts from the draft minutes of the Planning Meeting held on 18th July 2019.

SDNP/19/02996/HOUS Erection of two-storey rear extension and single-storey side extension to create disabled facilities including lift access and disabled bathrooms. The Council noted that the address, though in a relatively spacious setting, was only a three-bedroom house, and would remain so with the proposed extension.

Thus, it was not a question of aggrandisement, but rather of adjusting to the needs of a disabled occupant. The Council therefore had no overriding objection to the application. This was however yet another case where roof lights were being added, to maintain natural lighting across the extended floor area. The Council has regularly drawn attention to the resulting night-time light spill and its implications for dark sky policy. Now that the South Downs Local Plan had been formally adopted, replacing the Horsham District Plan for Coldwaltham and other South Downs parishes, the Parish Council should not have to keep on drawing attention to South Downs policies, as the SDNPA itself should be fully explaining them to the HDC officers responsible for relevant casework. www.coldwalthampc.org.uk
