Scout parade marks St George’s Day in Horsham

Horsham Scouts paraded through Horsham Town Centre on April 26 to celebrate St. George’s Day. The annual parade which took place between 2.30pm and 4pm and marked the first event in which the newly formed Scout District came together.

St. George is the Patron Saint of the Scouts, so the Sunday nearest to St. George's Day has become an annual occasion for the Scouts to hold ceremonies when they reaffirm their Promise and acknowledge the Scout Law in a national act of dedication.

Scouting groups across the Horsham district, together with a contingent from Horsham guides.

The parade began near the station and followed a route down North Street to the Carfax. There was an open air celebration around the Bandstand which included the annual renewal of the Scout Promise by all members.

The British Legion band led the marching and there was a collection for Macmillan Sussex Project and the Marfan Trust, the 2015 nominated charities.

Polar protest at Gatwick Airport Could you save a life in Sally Pavey - Communities Against Gatwick Noise Emissions (CAGNE)

The issue of climate change was brought to Gatwick Airport in the form of dancing polar bears.

The protest was peaceful and raised the issue of what building a new runway at Gatwick would mean to the world.

A new runway in the southeast would breach climate change targets and the polar bears symbolised what aviation is party to.

Helped by concerned residents from Kent, Sussex and Surrey, the bears found those at Gatwick sympathetic with the world’s plight if Gatwick is allowed to expand let alone what it will do to local rural communities.

GACC, Gatwick Areas Conservation Campaign, members undertook research into how local parliamentary candidates views on building a second runway at Gatwick and found all eleven Conservative Parliamentary candidates in the seats around Gatwick oppose a second runway as do all Green Party and UKIP candidates.

Almost all Lib Dem candidates oppose a new runway, the odd ones

out being the candidates for Crawley and Horsham. The Labour candidates are about equally divided, half for and half against.

GACC asked candidates to sign a pledge to oppose a new runway due to increase in aircraft noise, worsened environment and lack of infrastructure such as roads, rail, schools and hospitals.

The CEO of Gatwick Airport, Stewart Wingate announced in the media that they would be stepping up its expansion campaign from next week, delivering expensive leaflets to 400,000 homes in west London, Surrey and Berkshire.

Sally Pavey, Chair of CAGNE said: “This is a costly exercise but simply illustrates that Gatwick can’t find support in the surrounding counties and so have to try persuade Heathrow residents to become ‘nimbys’ and support putting the same misery of Heathrow here in West Sussex countryside.”

The elections are a very important time and expansion at Gatwick is not just about a new runway as it will have a huge impact on West Sussex,

not only from the 5 new routes over West Sussex but from the huge influx of workers.

This country has a huge deficit and as Gatwick brings the least into the UK economy as it deals in low cost airlines with 85% of passengers travelling for leisure out of the UK, you have to ask the taxpayer who will pay for the infrastructure to support an airport larger than Heathrow? The answer is simply, us the taxpayer as the money coming in simply will not cover the cost of the infrastructure that will be demanded.

WSCC and Surrey County Council are at present undertaking work to analyse the extent of the current deficit in infrastructure costs and what it will be with a second runway.

Gatwick is not supported by their number one customer EasyJet, nor British Airways or Virgin; the Institute for Business say that 61% of members oppose Gatwick expansion, only 25% of London First members support Gatwick, and 12 local authorities see the expansion as a major infrastructure issue.

your local community?

Horsham Community Responders, which is an established Ambulance Service Community Responder Scheme and Sainsbury Horsham’s Charity of the year, is looking to recruit two new team members.

The Horsham Team which has been established just over 8 years ago and has recently been commended by the Ambulance Service for responding to over 5000 calls within that time.

Community First Responders (CFRs) use life-saving skills and equipment to provide early and often vital intervention for patients suffering life-threatening emergencies in the immediate vicinity of where they live or work.

CFR’s are trained by the Ambulance Service to respond to calls within their local community, where they are able to attend the scene of an emergency in a very short time often within the first few minutes, and are often the first on scene.

CFR’s carry a vast array of equipment ranging from an advanced first aid kit, Oxygen, some basic drugs and a defibrillator.

Types of calls a Community First Responder might attend are Falls,

Strokes, Choking, Diabetic emergencies, Traumatic emergencies (not road traffic collisions), Breathing difficulties, Patients suffering from seizures, Chest Pains, Heart attack, Cardiac arrest and Unconscious patients Community First Responders answer calls in their neighbourhood, therefore, the potential for them to arrive on scene before an ambulance, especially in rural areas, is vital in providing immediate lifesaving treatment. These extra minutes do help to save lives.

If this is something that you may be interested in being involved with, are prepared to commit to a rota to be available to respond at a minutes’ notice for a minimum of 8 hours a week, attend monthly training sessions and help fundraise then please contact us by e-mail at contact@ horshamresponders.org to express an interest or alternatively come to our open evening which is being held at The College of Richard Collyer on Thursday, May 7, starting at 8pm.

Further information can be found on our website at www.horshamresponders.org.

Locals face up against Jimmy White Jimmy White, a true legend of the game of snooker is still performing with exhibitions around the country.

His love for the game will never fade and he is still one of the most popular players in the world of snooker.

Now Jimmy is back on the road with two events in the Horsham and Ewhurst area. He will be taking on local amateur players who have proven their talents and qualified from preliminary competitions.

A total of 8 players will be lucky enough to test their skills against the legend and as an added incentive the player that achieves the highest break over the two nights will win a £100 cash prize.

To round off the night there will be a special guest appearance from a mystery snooker star that will also play a frame of snooker against Jimmy.

On Tuesday, May 12, Jimmy will be at The Holbrook Club, North Heath Lane, Horsham, West Sussex, RH12 5PJ. Tickets available on 01403751150.

Gallipoli and Horsham– 100 years on Horsham Museum

www.horshammuseum.org

Certain events occur that puncture the general act of remembrance of those who died and those who survived the horrors of WWI one hundred years ago, the Gallipoli campaign is one such event.

In amongst the hustle and bustle of today’s events remembering Gallipoli puts things in to sharp relief; what follows below are accounts of the conflict drawn from the local press and a list of men from Horsham drawn up by Gary Cooper.

This act of remembering does not belittle all those who died or survived the First World War whose campaigns have not been so prominently remembered. Whilst next week will see the celebration of VE Day, the following is a reminder of what was happening to Horsham folk during one of the most significant campaigns of the war that had a major impact on three countries, Turkey, Australia and New Zeeland, whilst in Horsham individual families were affected as fathers, husbands and sons were lost.

The following are edited, the full versions can be found in Horsham on the Front Line, where you can find many more such letters.

Horsham man’s interesting letter

Writing on April 20th to Miss Rowe, of Chestnut Lodge, Horsham, J. Smart, on board the Triumph, says: We are just landing our troops, who, we hope, will present the compliments of King George and his subjects to the Sultan at Constantinople along with the Navy…

It is a beautiful morning, it seems too much so to be stained with the carnage of warfare, but it has to be so. You hear a bang, boom, boom, and know that a few more shrapnel are on their way to the enemy, covering our troops ashore, then you can see them burst in the air, sending further still their load of bullets.

My wife writes and tells me that

recruits are hard to get. I should like some of the men at home to just see one of the wounded; the sight of the blood is enough to get one’s own blood to boiling point, and wish to get at the enemy. I feel myself despondent at times.

Tell the young men that they are cowards to hang back without a cause, when there are men like myself (*over 40) who volunteered at the commencement of the war,…The King tells us that this is a very great prize for which we are fighting, and I suppose it is. My word to the young men of Horsham is: “Roll up, and enlist, help Lord Kitchener and Winston Churchill, and gain the respect of your townspeople.”

5 June 1915

Progress in the Dardanelles

The following extracts are from a letter sent home by Surgeon P. Boyd Wallis, R.N., a son of the late Mr. H. B. Wallis, of Graylands, Horsham.

“I will just tell you all my experience sup to date, which at times have been quite exciting. I will start on April 25th, the day operations commenced. At 3.30 pm. we got up anchor and proceeded to entrance of ____. The Fleet had already arrived there, and at 5 am they commenced to bombard. You never saw such a sight or heard such a terrific noise. Shells were bursting all over the place, and with glasses I watched some forts and town above, bricks and earth were sent hundreds of feet into the air, and in short time forts and town ceased to exist.

We then watched operations, landing of troops, &c, which was wonderful, under terrific fire all the time, and you can’t imagine the difficulties they had, barbed wire, &c.

Anyhow, they did it, and if you saw the place you would think landing an impossibility.

I watched our chaps taking a hillside. It was fine. They charged for

all they were worth, and as they came along you could see the enemy jumping out of their trenches and doing a bunk. I was quite sorry we had to go. …During day, enemy on opposite side began to get active, and I must say did some excellent shooting from a long range and also caused our troops a lot of trouble on the other side, but the ships got to work and silenced them…Have good hold on land now. 28th Had to go around to various ships hunting for food, got some bread which we have been without for three days, and fresh meat. In afternoon on beach we noticed several French wounded some way up and apparently no one to attend to them. We got leave to assist. I went on board a trawler and went ashore. They were absolutely unattended. I took a lot of stuff with me, fixed them off, and got them off to our ship and then to hospital ship.

During day took 110 off.

Police warn motorists of roadside petrol scam Attempted car theft Horsham police is warning motorists to remain vigilant following a recent spate of people being conned into giving money for petrol by suspects pretending to be drivers in need.

The first incident, reported to police on Wednesday, April 22, occurred on the A281 in Cowfold at approximately 2:15pm.

A woman from Horsham was flagged down by a man in a lay-by who told her that his car was low on fuel, and he had no money but was trying to get to a meeting in Manchester.

He asked to borrow some money in exchange for a gold-coloured ring and bracelet. The Good Samaritan gave the man £65 of his own money and he left her with his business card.

The man was driving a darkcoloured BMW and is described as white, large build, with a beard and moustache, with very short hair and a round face. He was wearing a grey jacket.

There was a further, similar incident the same day at Horn Lane, Henfield, where again a man parked in a lay-by flagged down a passing motorist stating that he needed money to get back to Manchester. The local driver followed the suspect to a near-by petrol station where he paid for £50 worth of fuel on his behalf and also gave him £50 in cash. The suspect again gave a gold bracelet and ring as collateral.

At 2:30pm on Sunday, April 26, a Henfield resident was flagged down by a man who had stopped

his vehicle on the side of Wheatsheaf Road. The man said he could not speak much English and that his bank card was not working. He said his car was nearly out of fuel and that he also needed to buy some food.

The victim said she only had a small amount of cash that she could lend him but he reached into the car and took her purse, removing £120. The man offered the victim a necklace and ring in exchange for the cash.

The suspect is described as being smartly dressed in a grey suit, possibly of Eastern European origin, in his late 30s to early 40s, medium build, with very short black hair and was a passenger in a green hatchback car. The victim followed the vehicle to a local petrol station

but it did not stop.

PC John Burt, from Horsham Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "We are urging people to be aware of this scam taking place on our local roads and to warn friends and family. These fraudsters are taking advantage of people's goodwill in exchange for items of gold jewellery that are likely to be fake and are providing victims with bogus business cards."

If you have any information about these men or you have been offered jewellery in exchange for money for petrol please contact police by emailing 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or by phoning 101, quoting serial 764 of 27/04.

You can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Police are investigating the attempted theft of a red Peugeot 306 car at Goodmans Court, Cowfold.

Two men in dark hoodies were seen trying to enter the vehicle at around 5.30am on Wednesday, March 18. They were disturbed and made off towards Henfield Road.

Anyone who recalls seeing the incident or the suspects is asked to email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or phone 101, quoting serial 340 of 18/3.

A 29-year-old man and a 23-year-old man, both from Brighton, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted theft. Both have been bailed until Friday, 15 May while enquiries continue.

Horsham police donate £250 to Southwater Youth Project

PCSO Damian Cecil, SYP Youth Worker Angie Choat and Rev. Kath Jones from Southwater Community Methodist Church Horsham Police has donated £250 to Southwater Youth Project to fund new activities, buy new computer games and some inflatable sumo wrestling suits to be used at the youth club.

The donation comes from the Police Property Act Fund (PPAF), made up of monies received by the police from property confiscated by order of the court and then sold.

Police Community Support Officer Damian Cecil said: "I am really pleased that the application for funding from the Police Property Act fund was granted for the Southwater Youth Project. During the last 7-8 years as the local PCSO for the area I have seen the youth project grow and provide valuable support to young people and I can't wait to see the sumo suits being used!"

New Vicar for Roffey The Revd Russell Stagg will be licensed as the new Priest in Charge of the Parish of All Saints Roffey in Horsham by the Bishop of Chichester, the Rt Revd Martin Warner on Thursday, April 20, 2015.

Father Russell joins All Saints Church during exciting times with future plans to build the new Parish Centre to be able to offer more to the community.

Fr Russell comes to All Saints from the parish of St Alban the Martyr, Holborn, where he was ordained priest in June 2012.

Fr Russell comments: “I am delighted to have been appointed as Priest in Charge of All Saints, Roffey. I am grateful to God for all the exciting opportunities for ministry and mission that lie ahead. As the new Parish Priest in Roffey, I am looking forward to getting to know people in the church and in the community, as well as those in the wider deanery. I am also looking forward to the challenging and

rewarding times that lie ahead for the church and for the local area.”

Fr Russell was born and grew up in Belvedere, on the Kent/South East London border. Before his calling to the priesthood, Russell worked in the IT industry in both the Healthcare and the Education sectors, latterly at the London Metropolitan University where he managed the User and Student Support Department. Before he was ordained he was a Lay Reader for twelve years, serving in the parishes in the Dioceses of Rochester and Chichester.

In 2008 Father Russell was put forward to train for ordained ministry by Bishop Lindsay when he was Bishop of Horsham. He trained at the South East Institute of Theological Education (SEITE) and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Applied Theology from the University of Kent.

His hobbies include theatre and cinema, walking, travel and music.

Mystery exotic creatures roaming around Sussex

Neil arnold Sussex Folklore

During the late 1970s Sussex newspapers and police stations were besieged with phone-calls of strange and mysterious creatures said to inhabit the local woods.

Those who were fortunate…or unfortunate…enough to see such beasts claimed that whilst the animals were small and fleeting, they resembled no known animal indigenous to these shores.

One Hailsham lady reported that the animal she saw had a distinctive striped tail whilst a man from Brighton who was cycling to work one morning claimed that the crea-

ture he’d seen had strange dark circles around its eyes. Nobody knew if the witnesses were caught up in some hallucination or whether they’d actually seen an unusual animal but in the July of 1977 police at Hove were bombarded by several phone-calls from people claiming to have seen animals matching the description of those made by others.

Eventually, and finally taking the reports seriously two police officers visited the house of a Hove woman after she claimed that a strange animal had been observed in her garden and had even fell asleep on the wall. Of course, the two policemen didn’t expect to find anything upon arrival but how wrong they were as they came face to face with a snoozing raccoon – a two-foot long North American resident with a distinctive striped tail and what appeared to be

dark patches around its eyes.

The animal certainly wasn’t fazed by the officers and continued its summery slumber upon the garden wall. One of the officers – armed with a large net – decided it was time to apprehend the culprit behind all of the mystery animal sightings and so advanced with cautious to the wall. However, upon reaching the spot of the animal the officers attention was drawn to a voice calling and from behind him and just as he was about to turn he felt a searing pain in his thumb.

Looking down towards his hand he noticed that the resting raccoon had taken a bite of his digit resulting in a stream of blood trickling to the ground. The raccoon was eventually captured and given to an animal specialist at a local zoo but the big mystery lie in the fact that no-

one knows where the alien came from but then again, the 1970s was the decade of exotic animal mania with many people purchasing – legally or otherwise – strange, foreign animals ranging from reptiles to big cats. Indeed, it was claimed that more than 4,000 alien species were being kept in the county but whether sightings of such strange striped-tailed creatures across the county could all be blamed on raccoon populations is something we’ll never know.

As recently as 2012 raccoons were still turning up in Sussex, a specimen with one eye was found in West Sussex and taken in by staff at Scientology headquarters who initially thought the animal was a badger.

Even so, people have always kept strange pets. In 1938 it was reported that a polecat was to blame for the

death of a baby in Sussex. A Mrs Frankel had gone into her garden to keep an eye on her seven-month old baby who was asleep in its perambulator when she heard a whimpering sound and spotted blood upon the cheek of her child. Mrs Frankel ran into the house to phone a doctor and then returned to her baby and scooped it up in her arms only to feel a strange wriggling sensation under the blankets. Suddenly a furry head peeked out of the blankets and attempted to bite the distressed woman. The animal dropped to the ground and as Mrs Frankel took her baby to the house they were chased by the creature. Mrs Frankel reached the safety of her house, slamming the door to prevent the intrusive creature entering. Sadly doctors could do nothing to save the baby which died hours later.

John Lewis names Horsham branch manager SOUTHWATER PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN CALL FOR SITES Background The right for communities to prepare Neighbourhood Plans was established through the Localism Act 2011, and gives the power for the whole community to develop a shared vision for the future. It provides a mechanism by which local residents and businesses can influence the planning of the area in which they live and work.

Southwater Parish Council is preparing a Neighbourhood Plan, as it was felt that a Neighbourhood Plan would assist in managing future challenges in order to obtain the best possible result for the parish. A Steering Group was formed to lead the process.

Why are we calling for sites?

As part of its work in assessing development needs, the Southwater Parish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group is required to call landowners and agents for land within the parish for expressions of interest in applying for future development permission.

This will be an informal opportunity for land owners and agents to propose sites within the parish of Southwater for possible development.

Putting a site forward does not guarantee that the Steering Group will support its development in the future, as all sites need to be judged against relevant planning policies and other considerations. We will consider proposals for a wide range of development uses.

The site suggestions will be used to guide and inform the preparation of the Neighbourhood Plan.

The deadline for submitting sites for consideration is 12 noon Friday 29 May 2015.

If you want a site to be considered then submission forms and further information on this Call for Sites can be found on the Southwater Parish Council website http://www.southwater-pc.gov.uk.

Submissions will be accepted via email on nplan@southwater.net or by letter to:The Secretary, Southwater Parish Neighbourhood Plan, Southwater Parish Council, Beeson House, 26 Lintot Square, Fairbank Road, Southwater, West Sussex, RH13 9LA. All call for site submissions must be received by 12 noon Friday 29th May

at Waitrose, Nigel moved across to the John Lewis division, where he took up the role of selling operations manager at the Bluewater branch. He was then appointed branch manager of John Lewis ‘At Home’ Tunbridge Wells and it is from here that he will lead the new team at the ‘At Home’ shop in Horsham.

Commenting on his new role, Nigel said: “I’m delighted to become the branch manager for the business’ 11th ‘At Home’ shop. Having been at the helm of John Lewis ‘At Home’ Tunbridge Wells, I know how popular the format is with customers and I’m excited to be bringing this to Horsham and the surrounding areas. I’m also looking forward

Are you delivering a sensational service? dee blick

www.themarketinggym.org

This month I am turning my attention to the importance of delivering an exceptional standard of service to your customers - all of the time - not just when you are in the mood.

For me, marketing and customer service are inseparable and highly compatible bedfellows. There’s little point driving an army of hot prospects to your door with your clever shoestring marketing only to let them down afterwards because your service fails to meet the mark. If you really want to deliver fantastic customer service on a consistent basis, you have to map out your customer’s journey from the moment they come on board through to delivery and that all important after-care. Identify the glitches so that you can rectify them swiftly. And survey your customers regularly so that you know what they really think of you rather than what you would like them to think. That’s because if you fail to deliver your best at any of your customer’s touch points your customer will become bewildered. “They were so good before… Why are they so average now?” “They were so amazing and

attentive when it came to signing me up and now they are slow to return my calls.” You don’t want customers saying or thinking this and then spreading the bad news to others.

It might seem like a tough call but you simply cannot afford to lower your service standards at any stage of your customer’s journey. So, when analysing these touch points I would like you to review the quality of your communications; your emails, sales letters and telephone calls. Be critical. Do you project a warm and friendly tone or are your communications clumsy, way too concise and lacking that all-important clarity? Working with a good copywriter to re-launch your communications and a good trainer who can show your team how to communicate with warmth and passion on the phone could be a good and long overdue investment in your business.

Being great at what you do does not automatically bestow these skills upon you or your team, so look upon bringing resources into your business an investment, not an expense; an investment that will pay you back at that.

I would like to bring my thoughts to a close this month with a case study of a local business that delivers an amazing standard of customer service every time; so much so that I really am in awe of them. Alex Walker is a local builder, the MD of

APM Walker Building Services. Over the last few years he has made several improvements to our home and we have always been delighted with his standard of work. He is unfailingly cheerful, friendly and caring.

What’s more his team know how to handle a vacuum cleaner and mop at the end of a dusty day! Alex recently demonstrated just how much he was willing to go the extra mile with an exceptional standard of customer service. We had a wood burning stove installed in our home office by another business. Despite Alex not being involved in the installation, when the flat roof leaked he came out at a moment’s notice, diagnosed the problem and even liaised with the installers to ensure the leak was corrected and all was well. He would not accept any payment for his efforts saying he was in the area anyway and it was no problem. Needless to say I recommend Alex to anyone within earshot. Delivering a genuinely amazing standard of customer service is part of his DNA. Is it part of yours?

So, if you really want to turn a customer into a raving fan I would encourage you to embrace the ‘can do’ mentality and to walk that extra mile when it comes to delighting your customers. Draw up a list of the many different ways in which you can WOW your customers and stick to it. You will be rewarded.

West Chiltington, a progressive golf club paving the way with new memberships go. Even main club members have been getting involved to help new golfers; Gary Milburn, a 7 Day member commented “Everyone is so friendly here, it’s a real community and we all try and encourage new golfers, we’ve been organising 18 Hole Taster Days for all the 9 Hole Club, it’s great to see people progress! West Chilt isn’t a stuffy club and that’s what attracted me, you’d be hard pushed not to find new friends and playing partners here.”

Due to the continued success of The 9 Hole Club and the increase in ‘nomadic golfing’ West Chiltington Golf Club are pioneering the new 18 Hole Club & 18 Hole Club plus’.

A golf club in West Sussex has been singled out for praise by the sport's governing body for its innovation in boosting membership numbers.

West Chiltington Golf Club has gone back to the drawing board and created new loyalty schemes and memberships both for absolute beginners and for those who find they can’t dedicate a lot of time to golf.

The club was forced to take action and get creative in a bid to halt the slide of decreasing club memberships - a problem affecting the majority of clubs in the UK. In 2014 England Golf - golf's governing body - highlighted the issue in its strategic plan to help secure the future of the sport. It concluded: “The golf business contributes £3.4 billion a year to the English economy. It is the fifth largest participation sport in the country but the number of golf club members has been declining since 2004 and this has put a financial strain on many golf clubs. Overall participation in golf has also been declining steadily since 2007."

To combat this, West Chiltington Golf Club designed a brand new loyalty scheme to encourage anyone, of any age, to give golf a go. “The 9 Hole Club” was launched in March 2014.

West Chiltington Golf Club now has 212 new members of their 9 hole course, nearly 10 per cent of whom have since progressed onto bigger memberships for the 18 hole course.

The initiative has been praised by England Golf, who commented “We’re delighted to be supporting West Chiltington in progressing the 9 Hole Club. The last few years has seen many clubs starting to diversify their golf offering to attract more players and more members to their facilities.

There’s a national trend of clubs looking at flexible memberships and creating shorter formats of the game to attract more customers, and it’s great to see West Chiltington are at the forefront of exploring different ways to present the game.”

The 18 Hole Club Plus includes the opportunity to hold a handicap and enter into competitions at the club for a fee of just £120 per year (plus cgu fees). The 18 Hole Club, is essentially a year round social playing ticket and will set you back a mere £65 per year, both offer green fees from just £9 on the 18 hole course 7 days a week and have already proven popular, the results so far are promising, with 70 members in just a few winter months.

They are expecting a significant growth this summer in the sale of these memberships and hope to end the year with a much increased playing field.

West Chiltington Golf Club are also now running an unbeatable offer of £799 for a full 12 month 7 day membership.

It’s the first discounted full membership offer to be run of its kind at the club and they hope to add to the easy going, mixed gender atmosphere at the weekends.

A significant amount of money and effort has been poured into the course over the last year and it is now all ready and waiting to be enjoyed by everyone. That coupled with the ever so friendly feel in the clubhouse, makes the chance to buy a 7 day membership at such a low introductory price an opportunity not to be missed.

For more information on these and other memberships which West Chiltington Golf Club offer visit their website www.westchiltgolf.co.uk or call the office on 01798812115.

The 9 Hole Club is just £30 per year and offers 50 per cent off green fees for the 9 hole course as well as some vouchers for the 18 hole course to encourage new members to give it a

THE 5 GATWICK AIRPORT 2ND RUNWAY GUARANTEES 1 Taxpayers Will Pay Billions for Infrastructure Costs We will pay for the vast new road infrastructure that will be demanded by an additional 100,000 vehicles per day plus freight?2 We will pay for the 40,000 new houses3 that will be needed? There is currently a shortfall of affordable housing in all the counties that surrounding Gatwick.

We will pay for the new schools, hospitals and GPs that will be needed given huge inward migration of workers as result of low unemployment levels?

We will suffer from 90,000 extra rail travellers daily on the single railway line in and out of Gatwick if Gatwick expands?2

2 No Compensation for the Majority Newly Affected by Aircraft Noise There will be five new routes over West Sussex impacting on tranquil areas not previously affected by aircraft noise.

Gatwick offer nothing in compensation to the majority of residents to become impacted by noise.

3 Worse Air Quality for All and Congestion Road congestion creates pollution.

Areas around Gatwick already have pollution problems. If the M23 and M25 are at a standstill, how will the 95 million passengers and 60,0002 airport staff access Gatwick?

4 Airlines, Local Authorities, Senior MPs, Big Business Do Not Support Gatwick Expansion Easyjet CEO Carolyn McCall’s statement to the Airports Commission says “EasyJet does not support a second runway at Gatwick….Gatwick slots have been and are still readily available now…”1 Willie Walsh, CEO of British Airways’ parent company International Airlines Group, said “I would not support a runway at Gatwick …. I don’t believe that demand is as strong as Gatwick would argue.”7 Gatwick’s promises to fix landing fees could result in a new runway not being a viable business proposition.2 Gatwick’s runway might cost over £20 billion compared2 to the £9.3 billion suggested by the Airports Commission6.

12 Local authorities and 8 senior local MPs do not support Gatwick’s proposals.

The Institute of Directors says 61% of its members favour expansion at Heathrow with only 39% preferring Gatwick.6

5 Irreversible Environmental Consequence Gatwick expansion would destroy more listed buildings than the HS2 rail line, will be built on a floodplain, destroy ancient woodlands thereby eroding the natural habitat of many wildlife species and devalue vast swathes of West Sussex, Kent, East Sussex and Surrey due to aircraft noise.

Gatwick will increase the imbalance of the UK’s economy, as regional airports will be forced to reduce capacity due to climate change targets.

Catch the ghost train in Horsham The Capitol Horsham are delighted to welcome Arnold Ridley's classic comedy thriller for four performances in May. The play is about a group of travellers (including a newlywed couple, an estranged couple, a self-indulgent young dandy and an elderly spinster with a parrot) stranded in the waiting room of an isolated railway station on a dark and stormy night, reacting with various degrees of credulity to the station master's warning of death to anyone who sets eyes on the ghostly train that haunts the line.

Ridley's inspiration came after becoming stranded overnight at Mangotsfield station in Bristol, now a disused station on the Midland Railway main line.

Starring Jeffery Holland (Hide-Hi!, You Rang, M'Lord?, Oh, Doctor Beeching!), Corrinne Wicks (Doctors, Emmerdale), Tom Butcher (The Bill, Doctors), Sophie Powles (Emmerdale), Judy Buxton (General Hospital, On the Up) and David Janson (Get Some In!, 'Allo 'Allo!, Keeping Up Appearances).

The show takes place at The Capitol, Horsham from Monday, May 18, to Wednesday, May 20, with shows at 7.30pm. There is also a Wednesday matinee at 2.30pm.

Tickets cost £19.50 on the Monday with a 3 for 2 offer and £19.50 on Tuesday and Wednesday with concessions priced at £18.50. The Wednesday matinee costs £17.50 and concessions are £15.

BBC Folk Award finalist comes to Horsham Folk Club On May 10, 2015, Horsham Folk Club will be welcoming young singer and guitarist Sunjay to perform.

You could be forgiven for thinking at first listen that Sunjay is older than his 21 years.

With a relaxed and confident manner, vocal style and mastery of his instrument he walks onto a stage and addresses the audience as though he is sitting down to play music with a group of close friends, a completely natural approach for a young man who picked up the guitar when he was just 4 years old and hasn’t put it down since.

Sunjay’s style has a natural drift between folk and blues and both camps have recognised his obvious flair. There have been a clutch of award nominations, including winning the Wath Festival Young Performers Award. He also made the final selection for the BBC’s Young Folk Award in 2012, had three nominations at the Exposure Music Awards 2014 and was also recognised by the 2014 British Blues Awards.

Drawing from a rich, musical and cultural background it is hardly surprising that Sunjay has quickly become recognised as one of the UK’s rising stars. His performances have been described as “mature and confident”, while his guitar playing has been hailed as “superb, brilliant, experienced, intricate & faultless”.

Sunjay clocked over a hundred tour dates in 2013 supporting the likes of Steeleye Span, Martin Simpson, Passenger, and Terry Reid. With two albums already to his name, (‘Seems So Real’ 2011 and ‘One Night Only’ 2013) Sunjay has just recorded his third release “Sunjay” released September 29, 2014.

The self-titled new album features Sunjay at his finest, collaborating with musicians including producer Eddy Morton (The Bushbury Mountain Daredevils), Liam Genockey (Steeleye Span), Katriona Gilmore (Gilmore & Roberts), Dan Walsh (Walsh & Pound), Sarah Smout (The Gren Bartley Band), and Charlie Barker.

Folk All Magazine said: “For such a young performer, Sunjay shows real confidence, maturity and ease on stage that it seems like he has been doing nothing else all of his life.”

For more information and the latest tour news, visit www.sunjay. tv or www.facebook.com/OfficialSunjay.

He is playing on Sunday, May 10, The Horsham Folk Club, The Normandy Centre, Denne Road, Horsham, West Sussex. RH12 1JF. Doors open at 7.45 pm and tickets cost £7.00 (Members £5.00).

Victory food - then and now

Before the war, we were importing nearly three quarters of our food so the government was already planning for rationing as early as 1936.

They knew the country would be in danger of starving in the event of war as we could not rely so much on imports.

By the time war was eventually declared in September 1939, many Land Girls had already been trained and one recalls, “I had six weeks training at Horsham College as a diary maid. We had to practise on rubber udders. I learnt to make butter too.” Incredibly, by 1943, the Women’s Land Army had increased the nation’s food production to 70%.

Along with rationing and the Dig for Victory campaign, our small island averted potential famine.

All food shops had to use their nearest farms and wholesalers in order to reduce distribution costs

and save petrol. Everyone was issued a ration book and you had to elect which butchers, bakers, greengrocers or grocery shops you would use the respective coupons at. There were, of course, no supermarkets.

Eggs, cheese, butter, bacon and sugar were amongst the items rationed. The production of fruit and vegetables was increased thanks to the hard work of the Land Army on farms (that were often taken over by the Government) and the population was also encouraged to grow their own. Allotments became very important and some of Horsham Park was even given over to growing food.

Food - 1945 versus 2015 CHEESE - during the war, all cheese had to be white cheddar, nicknamed Government Cheddar.

The number of cheese makers declined dramatically with many dairies forced to provide just milk and butter. The choice of British cheese remained dire until the 1990’s but today we now produce more varieties of cheese than even France.

Sussex, especially, is blessed with numerous artisan cheese makers with their new and revived cheeses freely available from markets and local food shops.

BREAD - considered as a staple during the war, bread had been predominately white for many years but come 1942 wheat imports were under threat from the U-Boats so the National Loaf was introduced and bakers were only allowed to bake this one type of loaf. Using all of the grain including the husks it did not go down well but was high in fibre and had added calcium to prevent rickets. Whilst white bread made a comeback in the following decades, bakers have returned to using wholegrain flours and revived more traditional bread-making including the use of sourdoughs. Artisan bakers are certainly not restricted to one type of loaf and real bread has seen a big revival.

EGGS - as one of the many rationed foods, tins of dried egg from America was also made available

to supplement the short supply of fresh eggs. Despite Government posters trying to convince the British housewife that these would make excellent omelettes, dried eggs remained one of the most unpopular foods imposed on the British public. Today, there remains a big taste difference with even fresh eggs. American eggs are washed and sprayed with a sanitiser and then always refrigerated so the taste is lost. The freshest and tastiest egg of all is the one laid free range, close to home and not cold stored which is still what we rightly demand.

FRUIT & VEGETABLES - local seasonal produce fed the nation during wartime and although variety was limited it was fresh and full of flavour. There was a small supply still of imported fruits such as oranges which generated huge queues when they came into the greengrocers.

Years after the war, the new supermarket shelves overflowed with imported, mass produced fruit and vegetables shipped from around the world. Unfortunately, flavour was compromised as it was invariably harvested before it was ripe and cold stored. Today, people are turning once again to fruit and vegetables produced more locally with heritage varieties revived and taste returned.

MEAT & FISH - the war forced many to source readily available game meats such as rabbit and pigeon. Pigs were fed on kitchen waste and fish rocketed in price as fishing became so dangerous in the waters around our coast. Rationing points were introduced for canned meat and fish. American imported sausage meat, Spam, proved so unpopular so these the points were heavily reduced to encourage people to eat it. Today, wild meat such as venison is becoming increasingly popular again as is fresh fish, locally made sausages and cured meats. Despite a social media campaign a few years ago to revive Spam, it is clear that this may be a step too far.

Four weeks of fresh quality food at Kokoro Review - Kokoro, West Street, Horsham kristy bovington Restaurant Review

Trudging the streets of Horsham, optimistic about shifting the remaining baby (Lindt) weight, I've always had the sneaking suspicion that all I needed in my life was more raw fish.

I therefore greeted the appearance of Kokoro a few weeks ago with much enthusiasm and, having picked up a menu from outside pre-opening, had already short listed approximately seventeen things to try first.

Opening day, and I decided to get over my long held, as it transpires unfounded, fear of hot food in trays at the counter. Opting for sweet chilli chicken and rice. I also made the snap decision to get the medium pot so I wouldn't be left

hungry. As Mr T would say 'Look at the pot sizes first, fool...'

Selflessly ploughing through it on behalf of enormously appetited readers everywhere I can confirm that it was fantastic and, unusually for a lunchtime chicken dish purporting to have chilli in it, had a deftly applied chilli kick. If you're super hungry or you showed rather too much support for your local hostelry last night, you won't do better than this.

The food was so good I wanted more and soon. Needing guidance, I of course deferred to the immortal words of LL Cool J...' Stay focused, go after your dreams and keep moving toward your goal.'

And so it was decided. I must visit regularly until I'd tried everything on the menu.

Well four weeks in and I've tackled the salmon nigiri and the California rolls, all much bigger and fresher than your average take away sushi options. The soft shell

crab rolls were as good as I've had at Roka whilst the salmon teriyaki was both deliciously succulent and worryingly moreish.

The menu could seem a little on the pricey side at first glance but once you have seen the portion sizes and sampled the freshness and quality of the ingredients it represents great value for money.

If needs be, I am going to make sandwiches all week to justify regular trips to Kokoro. Every time I've been in the staff have been friendly and courteous which, combined with the great quality food, makes it a fantastic addition to Horsham's thriving food scene.

www.kokorouk.com

Welcome to Kokoro!

Kokoro literally means “heart”, “soul” and “spirit”. At Kokoro, we put our heart, soul and spirit into the food made for you.

Pulborough fight back against Chichester

Hawks U12'S played their Parents

U12 Horsham Hawks 93 – 58 U12 Horsham Hawks Parents Youth Basketball Dave Clayton – Horsham Hawks In an end of season game with a twist, parents of the U12 Horsham Hawks swapped the side-lines for the hardwood and a chance to compete against the team they have encouraged and supported throughout this season’s campaign.

The Hawks put their 14 wins in 16 games record on the line in a contest featuring normal rules, table officials and qualified referee to give parents an opportunity to experience first-hand what it is like to compete against one of the most successful youth basketball teams in Sussex.

An enthusiastic and athletic parent’s team found their rhythm quickly, surprising the young Hawks with an impressive range of well hidden basketball experience to trail the U12’s by just 2 points after five minutes. Not wanting to get embarrassed the Hawks responded with a combination of speed, accurate passing and clinical finishing going on a 16-2 run that put the youngsters in control at the end of the first quarter.

In quarters two and three the parents led by John Willcox, Dominic Wakefield, Nicky Rose and Paul Rose turned the clock back fifteen years finding the stamina to put together consecutive 6-0 and 8-2 runs much to the excitement of the crowd. With the U12’s leading 6946 with just eight minutes remaining in the game the young Hawks

again showed their metal finishing with a 21-6 run of their own which included three point baskets from Miguel Venturini, Josh Lea-Clayton and Fin Bennett.

As the final buzzer brought the contest to an end both players and parents celebrated an enjoyable game and parents especially reflected and appreciation of the skills and athleticism demonstrated by the U12 Hawks squad on a regular basis.

One parent whose daughter began playing for Horsham this year commented, “The kids are amazing and it gave us the unique insight of experiencing first-hand how professional, spirited and gifted they are. They are great team, with great coaching and leadership and I feel very proud that my daughter can be part of the Hawks.”

Another parent who has been with the Hawks for three years stated, “I have always admired our fabulous team (and coaches), but my respect for their skills and fitness has increased a thousand fold after this game.”

The Hawks now have three weeks to prepare for their Sussex Cup playoff semi-final against the Haywards Heath Eagles.

Scorers (U12’s) Josh Lea- Clayton – 15, Harry Rose 14, Josh Tavolieri – 14, Fin Bennett – 9, Jamie Coulson – 9, Antonio Lozzi – 8, Charlotte Willcox – 8, Amy Willcox – 6, Miguel Venturini – 5, James Lowe – 5 Scorers (Parents) Dominic Wakefield – 14, Bruno Venturini – 12, John Willcox – 10, Molly Tavolieri – 10, Paul Rose – 8, Nicky Rose – 4, Kathy Bennett, Caroline Lowe , Will Belfield – 0

Defeat for Billingshurst in season opener Pulborough’s Jane Gray Bowls Jane Gray – Pulborough BC Sunday April 26 saw Pulborough play their first away game of the 2015 outdoor season, against Chichester Priory in the Brookes Motors League (BML).

2 triples played a game of 2 halves, with 1 rink turning the tables on their opponents in the second half and the other dropping points. Rink

3 was skipped by John Brown, with number 1 Jane Gray and number 2 Ivan Salmon. By end 9 they held a healthy lead of 3 points at 7/4 only to drop a 5 on end 10 and another 4 on end 13 to finish up 13/19 against a tough team in good form.

Rink 4 looked, for the first 8 ends, as if Pulborough were going down with a single figure score, but Skip and Club Captain, Paul Day, with number 1 Pauline Adsett and num-

ber 2 Chris Etherington, refused to give up and fought back from 14/3 down to within 1 point after 18 ends finishing 15/16, a fantastic comeback despite just missing out on any points for their first league match of the season.

Tomorrow, Saturday May 2 at 2pm Pulborough host Billingshurst and then follow that with an away game at Henfield on Sunday May 3 at 2pm. Spectators always welcome.

Bowls Keith Barraclough – Billingshurst BC In the first match of the new season Billingshurst visited Crawley based Downsman BC for a friendly.

Billingshurst got off to a reasonable start but went in to tea 4 adrift having had counts of 6 and 5 against. Determined to do better in the second half, Billingshurst looked on target to snatch the game with a “Hot Shot” count of 9 from John Lucas, Barry Gilbert & Chris

Laker (who were also top rink at +11) but fell away over the final 2 ends to lose by 2 shots overall DOWNSMAN 64 – 62 BILLINGSHURST Billingshurst rinks: John Lucas, Barry Gilbert & Chris Laker won: 24-13 Beryl Barraclough, John Bennett & Alan Readshaw won: 19-13 Brian Richards, Betty Weller & Alan Knight lost: 11-22 June Bennett, Stan Morgan & Geoff Weller lost: 8-16

Horsham beached at Normandy Cricket

Martin Read – Sports Reporter

England & Wales Cricket Board National Club Championship Horsham 165 All Out (40.2 overs) Normandy 166-4 (34.5 overs) Normandy won by 6 wickets Horsham won the national club knockout cup final at Lord’s in 2005 – an event to be commemorated with a special match in August – but this year they were unceremoniously dumped out of the competition in the very first round after travelling to the Guildford area to play Sthe urrey

Championship Premier Division side Normandy.

Before the game Horsham skipper Sam Attfield expressed concerns about limited player availability for the match, yet after winning the toss his team got off to a promising if steady start. But once Craig Gallagher (20) and the skipper (15) were out only three subsequent batsmen made double figures, with wickets falling at regular intervals. Tom Johnson, coming in with three down, batted in typically pugilistic style notching up the highest score of the game – his 69 coming off 53 balls with nine fours and two maximums.

Twenty wides were the major element towards extras posting the second highest contribution to the inadequate 165 run total, almost

five of the 45 over allocation being unused.

Two Normandy batsmen made sixties and while the six Horsham bowlers used stuck to their task, Mark Haines taking 2-43, Horsham’s meagre total proved impossible to defend, the hosts winning at a canter with a generous supply of wickets and overs in hand.

Horsham’s first serious home encounter of the new season, at Cricketfield Road tomorrow (Saturday May 2), sees them taking on Division 2 side St James’s Montefiore from Keymer in the Sussex Cricket League Gray Nichols T20 cup. Horsham have won the competition eight times in the last 16 years but after a major scare in last season’s first round at Slinfold they will be taking nothing for granted.

Horsham captain Sam Attfield

Horsham Lions promoted while first Battling Billingshurst bow team look forward to Sussex Cup final out of the National Cup Rugby Dave Smith – Sports Editor

Horsham 1st XV are looking to an historic double

Horsham Lions, Horsham Rugby Clubs 2nd XV, have been promoted into the Sussex League One next season after finishing third in the Sussex Intermediate League.

Following the 1st XV’s promotion, after winning their division, this means that Horsham Rugby Club has both its top two senior sides playing at the highest level since the introduction of league rugby at the club.

Meanwhile Horsham’s 1st XV are focused on the Bob Rogers Sussex Cup Final at East Grinstead on May 9 where they will meet either Crowborough or Haywards Heath.

Victory in the cup final would give the club its first league and cup double in the club’s history and put the icing on the cake in what has been a superb season for the whole club.

England & Wales Cricket Board National Club Championship Camberley 202 All Out (44.2 overs) Billingshurst 155 All Out (34.5 overs) Camberley won by 47 runs Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter Although Billingshurst lost this fluctuating game they frightened their Surrey Championship Division 1 hosts several times along the way.

Inserted, Camberley passed 100 without loss, alarm bells ringing until following Ben Williams’ breakthrough two more quick wickets put Billingshurst back in the game. Later partnerships took Camberley to 1805 before another flurry of dismissals reduced them to a lower than feared 202 all out. David Dunn finished with 4-39, while Kelly Russell, Andy Barr and Ben Williams shared the remaining spoils.

In reply Billingshurst were soon struggling at 6-2 before Mike Burroughs with 32 and Andy Barr (64)

put on 98 placing Billingshurst in a match winning position with more than half the job done and overs aplenty still in the kitty. But miserly wicket-taking bowling on a wearing pitch ate through the lower order, only James Long getting into double figures as the last seven wickets fell for a disappointing 34 runs.

Billingshurst captain Ben Williams told the District Post: “We were missing key players but we put in some good performances. I was a bit worried after they got off to such a good start but we stuck to our task and clawed it back really well. Mike Burroughs was unlucky to fall victim to a shooter when he was batting nicely. It was a used pitch and it got slower and lower making life difficult for us but we gave a good account of ourselves. We need to get used to the new standard of cricket that we find ourselves competing against – our next game is in the Sussex T20 Cup against always competitive Preston Nomads!”

The game against Nomads is at Fulking tomorrow (Saturday May 02).

Horsham’s twin town Saint Maixent-l’Ecole to make rugby club visit Rugby Dave smith – Sports Editor The French Tricolour will fly over Horsham Rugby Club this Saturday, May 2, as Horsham welcomes the rugby club of its French twin town of Saint Maixent-l’Ecole.

The Chairman of Horsham District Council will officially welcome the Saint Maixent visitors while current and former players will turn out in strength. The rugby club is putting on a full day of activity to encourage the people of Horsham to turn out and enjoy a very English welcome for a French touring team.

Horsham’s twinning with Saint Maixent l’Ecole began when the two Rugby clubs got in touch in the early 1970s and arranged reciprocal tours. After that, the councils backed the idea and the two towns were officially twinned.

Rugby matches between the two clubs died out in the 1990s but last year Horsham’s Colts Rugby team re-

vived the traditions and visited Saint Maixent. It was a hugely successful visit and sporting and cultural links were restored.

Horsham’s twinning with Saint Maixent l’Ecole began when the two Rugby clubs got in touch in the early 1970s and arranged reciprocal tours The Rugby Club bar will be open all day from 11am -6pm and there’ll be food available throughout with the match kicking off at

1.30pm. In advance of that, Horsham council chairman Cllr Brian O’Connell will officially welcome the players and officials from Saint Maixent. Among the special guests at the club, there’ll be players, who took part in those early tours in the 70s, plus others who played Saint Maixent in the 1980s and 90s, and members of Horsham’s Twinning Committee.

Hepworth’s brewery is supplying a specially labelled beer for the occasion, which will be on sale at the clubhouse. South Lodge is supplying a meal of finest cottage pie which will be followed by English cheese and biscuits. Saint Maixent’s players will also be visiting the town centre on Saturday morning to experience a busy Horsham spring market.

The club invites the people of Horsham to come along on Saturday from 11am, enjoy the hospitality of the club, welcome the French visitors, and enjoy an international game of rugby.

Two more years for Hornets at Gorings Mead Football Dave Smith – Sports Editor Horsham YMCA FC Chairman Mick Browning has announced that an agreement has been reached to allow Horsham FC to ground share at Gorings Mead until the end of the 2016/17 season.

Following their relegation this season Horsham FC will be playing next season in the same division as their Landlords, Horsham YMCA. Both teams will be aiming for promotion next season which will result in the fixtures between the two clubs being an all together tenser affair than would normally be the case.

The full statement issued by Horsham YMCA FC reads as follows.

Horsham YMCA Football Club has agreed a ground sharing agreement

with Horsham Football Club to use Gorings Mead for a further two years, until 30 June 2017, by which time Horsham FC will have played at Gorings Mead for some eight years.

The club do not intend any ground sharing agreements to use the Gorings Mead facilities after the above noted date.

The demands of ground sharing have made it impossible for the club to undertake one of its core activities, youth football, whilst Horsham FC are using the club’s facilities. Therefore, this decision has been taken to enable the club to provide opportunities for future YMCA youth teams to play at Gorings Mead.

The club would like to wish Horsham FC success with its future on and off-field activities.

Heath exceed expectations with a top ten finish Saturday April 25 - Sussex County League Div 1 Eastbourne United 0 - 2 Broadbridge Heath Football Andrew Crisp – BBH FC

Broadbridge Heath ended the 2014/15 season and final game in the Sussex County Football League with a 2-0 victory away at Eastbourne United.

With the league being rebranded the Southern Combination Football League from next season, Heath Manager Steve Painter wanted to finish on a high but knew that regardless of the result his team would end the season in the highest ever position in the clubs history.

On a hot, sunny but windy afternoon, Heath Manager Steve Painter welcomed back Andy Howard as a late replacement goalkeeper and his former captain and centre-half, who has missed most of the season through injury, kept a clean sheet as The Bears recorded their 10th away league victory of the season.

Painter’s side took the lead midway through the half when Ollie Moore rose above everyone to power in a header from a Piers McDermott corner to bring his season’s tally to 24 goals. Jamal Sultan could have added a second 10 minutes before the break but his shot was charged down by Eastbourne United’s keeper Russ Tanner. The

home side found chances limited in the opening half with their best effort on 44 minutes was when Dean Stevens headed wide of an open goal from a Jason Taylor cross.

With the wind now on their backs it was the hosts who started better in the second half, Wes Tate looked the most likely Eastbourne player to score and saw one effort arrow narrowly wide of Howard’s right hand post, then hit another straight at Howard from 20 yards.

On 80 minutes Jason Taylor was foiled by an alert Howard after a long punt down field from Tanner but the Heath defence stood firm and twice came close to adding to their score, first when Jake Legrange whipped in a low cross from the right which hit a defender running back and was deflected inches wide of the post, then a long throw from Rob Godfrey was struck sweetly by Jake Holmes but flew straight into the arms of Tanner, then in time added on, Sultan picked out Holmes with a delightful through ball and the Heath striker calmly slotted past Tanner with the outside of his right boot from 18 yards.

The win means Heath finish in 9th place, greatly exceeding the clubs expectations, which back in August were just to try and keep away from the threat of relegation.

Heath Team: A Howard, Sebuliba (Legrange 75), Robinson, M Flack, Waddingham, Moore, Godfrey, McDerrmott (Mobsby 80), Andrade, Greg (Holmes 70), Sultan.

Cottesmore Golf Club host Sussex Seniors for first time

Dan Sullivan scores for YM Saturday April 25 - Sussex County League Div 1 Horsham YMCA 4 – 2 Chichester City Football Tom Norris – Football Reporter Siblings Nick and Dan Sullivan shared the spoils for Horsham YMCA in their final game of the season on Saturday, as they both found the score sheet during a 4-2 win over Chichester City.

Striker Nick netted either side of a Matt Crane own goal and a rare headed finish from brother Dan to give the hosts a 3-1 lead at the break, before the front man completed his hatrick in the second

YM`s Nick Sullivan heads in his first goal of three half and the Lillywhites added a consolatory second.

The three points secures a fifth placed Division 1 finish for YM, just ahead of local rivals Loxwood on goal difference.

Manager Peter Buckland commented: “I don’t think that the three points were ever in doubt, although we seemed to take our foot off the pedal when they made it 4-2. We missed some chances again. It wasn’t a bad performance, but it wasn’t one of our better ones.

Chichester aren’t a bad side. They have got a good work ethic and they’re capable of upsetting teams.

Maybe the game was tighter than everyone thought it was going to be, but it is a nice way to finish

the season. That is a great mindset now to go into pre-season with. To a man, they are all on board next year, and I just said to the players that I don’t think that we need major surgery. You’ve only got to look at our performances against the higher teams in the league to see that. What we need is a bit of tweaking. It’s a real tight-knit group and it makes you feel comfortable. I know exactly where we need to strengthen and we’ve got the players in mind. I’m really excited about next year.

YM Team: Lockwood, Carden, Crane (Wood 63), O’Carroll (Gathern 60), Evans, Dugdale, Gedling, D. Sullivan, D. Brown, Hibbert, N. Sullivan. Unused Subs: Fox.

Alex Morrison, Steve Atkins, David D'Singh and Ron Vance with club president, Paddy Dowze Golf Dave Smith – Sports Editor Twenty teams of senior golfers from all over Sussex descended on Cottesmore Golf Club to compete for the Sussex Senior Captains’ and Committee Shield.

This year Cottesmore hosted the event for the first time and visiting teams were full of praise for the attractiveness and improvements in the course and suggested that Cottesmore host the event next year.

After an exciting day’s golf Cottesmore’s President, Paddy Dowzer, presented the Winners Shield to the Goodwood team of

Trevor Littlecott, Mike Hancock, Ray Twine and Roger Herbert. This was the third year running that Goodwood have won the Shield which is competed for annually by all the major golf Clubs in Sussex.

The winning team scored 83 stableford points in a four ball better ball format, 6 points ahead of the team from Willingdon Golf Club.

The leading home team of Alex Morrison, Steve Atkins, David D'Singh and Ron Vance scored an impressive 89 stableford points.

However they did not compete for the Winners Shield since playing on their home course was considered too great an advantage over visiting teams.

Saturday 25th April 2015 - Ryman League Division One South Tooting & Mitcham United 5 - 0 Horsham The season has come to an end for Horsham, and all those associated with the club will be glad to see the back of it.

In a season that has seen three different management set ups, almost a complete change in playing personnel midterm, relegation after finishing rock bottom of the division and the controversial Horsham Council refusal of the club’s planning application for a new home; things could not have been any worse.

A decent performance in this last game would have given the magnificent and long suffering Hornets fans something to cheer and could have lifted the club of the bottom slot. However this latest embarrassing showing against a team that sit in mid table comfort shows just how much needs to be done if they are not to struggle next year at a lower level. There is no doubt Dom di Paola will totally rebuild during

Horsham Sparrows FC Sparrows Under 15 Girls – Horsham Sparrows U15 Girls won a very tense and exiting Challenge Cup Final last weekend against Angmering Girls at Crawley Down Stadium.

Both teams started well with some excellent play but it was Sparrows that made the breakthrough on eighteen minutes with a lovely goal from Jazmin. Angmering came back strongly and scored on 38 minutes making it all even at half time.

The second half continued as the first with both teams looking for a winner; however both defences held firm and the score remained at 1-1 after ninety minutes.

One minute in to extra time after a lovely run and pass by Fliss, Jazmin scored her second to edge Sparrows in front. The remainder of extra time saw Angmering threw everything at Spar-

the summer and get in some of his ‘own men’ through his local contacts. And he will need to rebuild as the current players have failed to lift themselves one iota since his arrival at the club three matches ago.

The passionate supporters, many dressed as Elvis, were again left frustrated as those charged with wearing the Horsham colours again showed an amazing lack of effort and desire that allowed the opposition to romp to a 5-0 win without having to hardly break sweat.

Di Paola had a lot of players missing but that cannot be used as an excuse as Tooting & Mitcham are hardly settled, manager Craig Tanner has been told he is no longer required and a few youth players made the starting line up.

In a lacklustre first half Horsham’s efforts were limited to a long range Tom Bold free kick straight at the keeper and a tame effort from Samir Hadi that went wide. Tooting & Mitcham, although hardly playing well, found the net with ease, scoring twice before the break. Billy Marshall hit a long pass that Izokun missed allowing Danny Summers to hit a shot that beat the defenceless keeper Williams with twenty three minutes gone. Sixteen minutes later youth team player Leon Lalor-Dell caught Branford and Hope flatfooted by slipping the ball in between them

for Max Noble to score a simple second.

The second half saw no improvement from Horsham and after fifteen minutes a rare mistake from player of the season, keeper Gareth Williams, resulted in Summers scoring his second and his team’s third.

Horsham youth product, seventeen year old Jake Chadwick, came on for his debut but was sadly let down on his big occasion by his calamitous teammates as within minutes of the youngsters introduction another two farcical goals were conceded.

Williams saved well from Summers to prevent the Tooting & Mitcham striker hitting his hat-trick but youngster Lalor-Dell tapped in the loose ball. Two minutes later LalorDell turned provider by passing to Billy Marshall who had time to control the ball on his chest before scoring and completing the rout.

So next season the Hornets will compete in the renamed Southern Combination Football League and unlike this season they will certainly need to ‘compete’ as local derbies against Horsham YMCA, Broadbridge Heath and Loxwood will not be easy.

The Cup match was against Crawley Utd which Roffey Robins won 3-0 with two first half goals from Alfie Barnes and a second half goal by the league’s top goal scorer Elliot Bennett.

Chesworth Rovers Heron Way Cup Final - Crawley Utd U11 (2) 2 v 2 (5) Chesworth Rovers U11 Chesworth Rover keeper Leo was the cup hero last Saturday morning at Broadbridge Heath football stadium where the Heron Way Cup final was played out to a packed crowd Crawley took the lead early in the first half and within a minute of the restart Regan burst free of the defence to tie the game at 1 - 1. Crawley

responded by bundling the ball over the line just before half time for 2 -1.

Callum put in a corner in the second half that was hit at goal by Toby, Crawley cleared but only to Lewis of Chesworth who smashed the ball back and tied the game 2 - 2. Chesworth went in search of the winner but Crawley held out for the final whistle and penalties.

Toby, Josh and Finlay scored for Chesworth and Leo saved 2 Crawley pens.

The final penalty was saved by hero Leo, making a hat-trick of penalties and giving Chesworth Rovers U11 the Heron Way Cup. Chesworth Rovers U13 also won the John Laker Memorial Cup on the same day, beating Storrington Vipers 2 – 0 in the final.
