Francis Maude to step down benjamin coren News Reporter

Conservative MP for Horsham Francis Maude has announced he will step down as MP for the next general election. In a letter to Horsham Conservative Association he wrote: “It has been a huge privilege to serve as Horsham’s MP since 1997. I am enormously grateful to you and to our local party members for such tremendous support over that period. It has been a pleasure to work with you all. I love this part of West Sussex, which has been my family home for nearly twenty years, and where our children have grown up; and it has been a real honour to serve its people.” Francis Maude is currently the minister for the Cabinet Oﬃce and has been MP for Horsham for 18 years after serving nine years as MP for North Warwickshire. In his letter he stated: “ I was ﬁrst elected to the House of Commons in 1983 just before I was thirty, and will be nearly 67 by the time of the election in 2020. Public service Continued on page 3

y thanks go to Benjamin Coren of The District Post, for his well-researched, veriﬁed and insightful piece (Friday, January 30, 2015), on the facts and timeline concerning the now highly controversial and divisive North Horsham site. I note that he makes the assertion that the time to have stopped this site ever being progressed by anyone let alone Liberty was in 2009, I am in total agreement with that statement. I have to ask then, “Why did the controlling 2007-2011 HDC Conservative administrations headed by Cllr Liz Kitchen and later by Robert Nye, not do just that – kill it oﬀ, not bits of it – all of it, when the chance presented itself?” Is it as Benjamin surmises, that the HDC Conservative administration under Cllrs Liz Kitchen and Robert Nye were open to North Horsham accepting between 4,000-

4,500 houses in exchange for land being set aside for a new hospital; and that they were prepared to take that gamble? Did the then Leaders not see this as a gamble with our environment, did they not see this as a gamble with the lifestyle of every resident of Holbrook, Roffey and beyond? So not only was the site not killed off in 2009, the same administration permitted Liberty a foothold in North Horsham as early as 2010; once in did they ever truly believe Liberty could be evicted? If they did, how naïve of them. Next as Benjamin Coren correctly states in 2012 two disasters happened, first the enactment of the dreaded NPPF and its presumption in favour of sustainable development – whatever that may be. Then the CCG pull the plug apparently forever on the dream that was the new hospital, so now some members of the 2007-11 administration who gambled with our futures and lost either need to face the truth and own up to the electorate or they need to find scapegoats. Why is it that gamblers always need to blame someone else for their failings? How could those not elected for the first time until May 2011 be to blame for allowing the site to continue to exist after 2009, or for permitting Liberty in through the front door in 2010? The Class of 2011 when elected was faced with a fait accompli, it now had to deal with the fall-out of that failed gamble by the Class of 2007. Those newly elected had to help create a strategy to somehow limit the damage, to limit it in a way

acceptable to The Inspector and the NPPF – this was never going to simply go away because some members decided they no longer liked the outcome of their failed gamble. In May I am more than happy to face the electorate and to own up to what I have done over the last 4 years, yes I backed the Green Waste Charge, yes I helped construct the policy to deal with the financial shortfall created by Central Government’s “Localisation of Council Tax Benefit” (as difficult as that was), yes I have been part of an administration that continues to deliver quality frontline services, that has not been afraid to make tough financial decisions to protect those services – and that has not raised Council Tax, preferring to leave

monies in the pockets of residents and not in HDC bank accounts. What I not prepared to do is to remain silent, when others are trying to make me and those elected with me for the ﬁrst time in 2011 the scapegoats for their failed gambling with our environment, and with our futures. Do you know what also truly disappoints me? All I have ever done is to try and protect North Horsham, yet so many now only hear and believe what they want to believe; they are so angry over North Horsham (as I am) that they no longer want to listen to reason – they just want someone to blame and it shows. Pity then, that they have failed to select the correct targets for that anger!

Horsham MP to step down at next general election Continued from front page continues to exercise great appeal. However, 27 years is a long time to serve as a Member of Parliament, and I believe now is the right time to make way for a younger candidate to carry the Conservative flag in Horsham.” He added he will also give ‘unstinting support’ to the Association’s choice to succeed him. Mr Maude also said in his letter: “I am increasingly optimistic that the Conservative Party under David Cameron’s strong and visionary leadership will form the government after 7th May. This election will offer the country a simple choice between this Conservative competence and Labour chaos. We need to stick to our long-term economic

plan to keep growing the economy, creating more jobs in Horsham and across the country, and paying down the deficit so our children have the best possible future. Mr Maude has previously held posts under former prime ministers Margaret Thatcher and Sir John Major and was also chairman of the conservative party from 2005 to 2007. Horsham Conservative Association said: “Horsham Conservative Association was very sorry to receive the news that the Rt Hon. Francis Maude MP will not be seeking re-election on 7th May. Francis has been a truly outstanding Member of Parliament representing Horsham since 1997 when he was elected with a huge parliamentary majority. Since then he has worked

tirelessly to represent his constituency whilst managing high office, both in opposition and Government. His ability to cut through red tape and see the bigger picture, has resulted in huge savings for taxpayers and a real optimism that the economy is on the right track with more jobs and a bright future for everyone. “Local Conservatives are very proud of all he has achieved during his time as MP and in addition, will miss his warm friendship, dedication to public service, loyalty and support. Several candidates have already announced their intention to stand at the general election in Horsham. Share your thoughts with us at newsdesk@thedistrictpost.co.uk

Horsham district Food and Drink producers scoop major awards The very best of Horsham district’s food and drink providers were recognized at the 2015 Sussex Food and Drink Awards ceremony held this year at the Amex Stadium in Brighton on January 29, with six of them coming away with major awards. Entrants are nominated by the public and assessed by an expert panel of judges. Commenting on the district’s successes, Cabinet Member for the Local Economy, Cllr Roger Paterson said: “The outstanding success for our District’s businesses in so many award categories really does prove that Horsham based producers have become leaders of their fields in food and drink. I am immensely proud that all these local companies have done so well, since it un-

derlines the prize winning quality of our local products that have been so well supported and promoted by our enormously popular annual Horsham Food & Drink Festivals.” The Sussex Food and Drink Awards, now in their ninth year, are the only awards that highlight, recognise and support Sussex farmers and producers and the businesses that sell and promote their produce. Olympic gold medal winner, Sally Gunnell OBE, is patron to the awards and a great supporter of locally produced food believing that it is the way forward for a healthy lifestyle.

Leon Nettley to retire as Millais head In a letter to parents last month, Mr Leon Nettley confirmed his decision to retire as Headteacher of Millais School, with effect from August 31, 2015. In his letter Mr Nettley wrote: “This decision required considerable thought and reflection, but I have concluded that with the building project coming to an end and another Outstanding Ofsted under our belt, that it is the right time for both the school and for me.” Leon Nettley joined Millais in April 1990 and was made headteacher in January 1997. Over the last 18 years he has taught and worked with many Horsham residents, and has made an impact on the lives of the many students who attended Millais. Mr Nettley added: “Many of my fondest memories will be of students (past and present) whose enthusiasm, determination, resilience and outstanding achievements have always matched my ambition for their success. “Every day, every week, every term, every year they remind me of why I chose this profession and how rewarding it can be.” The Governing Body have not yet confirmed the appointment of a replacement headteacher. Mr Nettley said: “I wish the school all the success it deserves and I thank you and most impor-

tantly your daughters past and present for making my career so enjoyable, rewarding and fulfilling. I will be leaving with immense pride and fond memories, looking back on my time at Millais with affection, gratitude and personal fulfilment.” Mr Nettley confirmed his decision at a full Governing Body meeting in November 2014 in order to give governors and early indication of his retirement. The school will continue to run as usual.

New Year, new you Osteopathy Works Horsham

t is that time of year again when we all start to think about health and fitness. We want to drop bad habits and replace them with healthier ones. A lot of people will start a gym membership or take up a new sport such as running, cycling, swimming or pilates. Common fitness mistakes, including too much activity too fast or improper form/equipment, can invariably lead to injuries—often postponing fitness benefits. To assist in achieving your new healthy living resolutions, follow these simple steps to maximizing your fitness benefits without risking unnecessary injury: 1. Avoid doing too much too soon. It’s important to start at a level and pace you’re comfortable with. Gradually increase your workload over a series of sessions. 2. Always warm up and cool down when undertaking activity. Warming up prepares you both mentally and physically for performance and decreases your risk of being injured. To warm up, simply start your chosen activity at a slower pace. Also remember to cool down after activity sessions to help reduce muscle soreness and stiffness.

3. Always drink fluids before, during and after activity 4. Quality footwear is a must, many studies have found a relationship between the type of footwear worn and the incidence of injuries to the lower limb. 5. Know what to do if an injury occurs. Stop your activity and seek professional help. My name is Suzanna Frisby and I run an Osteopathy clinic in Horsham called Osteopathy Works Horsham. I treat various conditions including sports injuries. These include muscle strains and tears, ligament sprains, joint problems, nerve irritation, biomechanical problems and much more. It is often useful to resolve any underlying issues prior to starting a new sport. If you sustain an injury during an activity it is advisable to have it assessed and treated as soon as possible. As a keen sports person myself I know how important it is to maintain good joint, muscles, ligament, tendon and neural health so that you can achieve your desired goals whether it be a race, weight loss or increased fitness. If you would like any further information or advice then please contact suzanna Frisby at Osteopathy Works Horsham on 07876750517 or e-mail frisby01@ btinternet.com. 10% off all new patient consultations during the month of February.

School refuses to close hall to be used as polling station Benjamin Coren News Reporter Billingshurst Primary School is opposing the district council decision to close one of their school halls to be used as a polling station in the upcoming general election following the introduction of Universal Free School Meals (UFSM) and the need to feed 350 pupils. The upcoming election is to take place on May 7, 2015, and the schools feels it has been forced by Horsham District Council to close the hall for the whole day of the election. Headteacher, Helen Williamson said: “In the past, the school has been used as a Polling Station. With the introduction of Universal Free School Meals and the need for both our halls to feed over 350 children, I declined the use of the school when approached by Horsham District Council. “Since then there has been a great deal of discussion with HDC as to why I am unwilling to disrupt the education and welfare of the youngest children at the school because I have to shut one hall off to be used as a Polling Station. I have even offered alternative suggestions for locations in the village and have offered to mediate between these other organisations to arrange the hire.” Alternative locations suggested by Helen Williamson included the Billingshurst Scout hut and the vil-

lage hall. Mrs Williamson said: “It is, I believe, unacceptable to disrupt the education and legal entitlements of the children of this village when other sites are more suitable. I appreciate any parent who has the time to support my view to ensure we do not suffer this disruption again.” The school asked parents to email the returning officer, Tom Crowley who responded with a statement to all parents and the school. Mr Crowley, in his letter wrote : “A polling station has been located at the school since 2009 with the full and continuing support of Local Educations Authority. We first informed the school of our intention to use one of the two halls at the school as a polling station on May 7 for the general election and local elections on July 23, 2014, which, in my opinion allowed plenty of time for arrangements, such as inset days to be made.” He further wrote that no other premises would be suitable in terms of access for disabled people, size and location. Tom Crowley wrote: “Elections take place on a single day no more than once a year and therefore the level of disruption to schools is minimal when judged against the importance of supporting the democratic process.” Schools have a legal duty to offer free hot meals to infant pupils at lunchtime every day.

Celebrate Pancake Day in the Carfax

New A24 footbridge now open Opening of A24 footbridge, Broadbridge Heath, with Claire Clarke and family

Join in the fun of Pancake Day in the Carfax on Tuesday, February 17. Bring the kids to come and watch the proceedings from midday including mascot races in their special egg and spoon races or, if you are involved with a business, charity or other organisation, why not enter a team of four in Horsham’s Pancake Races. The course is not at all arduous and is designed to encourage a sensible mix of skill and speed. There will be cups and prizes awarded to the winners on the day, including one for the Best Team Fancy Dress, one for the Best Over 40’s Team, one for the Winning Charity Team, one for the Best Individual Fancy Dress, one for the Best Flipper and one for the overall Winning Team. Children’s TV Star Dave Benson Phillips will once again be race commentator as well as helping to entertain the children. Face painters will also be present and hopefully some artistic activities to amuse the children. The event is once again organised

by The Rotary Club of Horsham in partnership with Horsham District Council and is aimed at raising money for local Charities that are nominated by the participants. The Main Sponsor for this year’s event is once again locally based highway maintenance Company, Ringway, who will organise the race course and signage, as well as sponsoring the Mascot Race Prizes. Sainsbury’s will be supplying the pancakes as well as sponsoring a Trophy together with Waitrose, the Non-Stop Party Shop, Rawlison Butler, South East Hearing Centres and Horsham Rotary Club. Further information and Entry Forms for the Team event can be obtained by emailing horshamrotary@btconnect.com. So, bring the kids to the Carfax in Horsham for a flipping jolly time. If the weather has been poor, please check the Rotary website www.horshamrotary.org.uk in the morning to check that the event is still on as the racing is dependent on suitable underfoot conditions.

The new replacement footbridge across the A24 at Broadbridge Heath is now open to the public, allowing safe passage for pedestrians and cyclists. Local residents Claire and Adrian Clarke and their 7 year old son Charlie were the first members of the public to use the bridge when it was opened by the A24 team on the January 26. Local residents for the past 20 years, Claire and Adrian live about a ten minute walk from the Horsham side of footbridge. Claire said: “We cross the A24 every week to shop at Tesco’s and

to walk our friends’ dog, so we are delighted that the new footbridge is now open for use.” A spokesperson from J Breheny Contractors said: “We are really pleased that the new footbridge is available for the public to use. The assembly of the bridge proved an exciting challenge to the team as it is the largest footbridge we have currently installed being 58.6 metres in length, three metres wide and 83 tonnes. It had to be delivered in four sections and craned into place. We would like to thank the travelling public for their patience during the recent

night closures to install the footbridge.” Lee Laflain, Manager at Tesco Broadbridge Heath who presented the Clarke family with a hamper to celebrate the opening comments: “We are delighted that the footbridge is now open and were pleased to present Claire, Adrian and Charlie with one of our luxury hampers to celebrate.” The new footbridge across the A24 is part of the Broadbridge Heath relief road which will create a new access into Broadbridge Heath.

Valerie Manor receives district workplace award An Upper Beeding based nursing and residential home is celebrating after picking up a gold Horsham Healthy Workplace Award in recognition of its superior efforts to help its staff get even healthier. Valerie Manor Nursing and Residential Home, which employs 52 local people was awarded the Horsham District Healthy Workplace Gold Award on January 13, 2015, by Cabinet Member for a Safer & Healthier District, Cllr Sue Rogers from Horsham District Council. Amongst the many things Valerie Manor have done to receive this recognition include: providing onsite health checks for staff, signing up for the Cycle to Work scheme, providing fruit and healthy food for staff, holding weekly staff boot camps in the garden and providing specialist counselling support

on-site for staff who work in such a demanding environment. Commenting on the award Cllr Rogers said: “I am delighted to present this award to Valerie Manor as proof of their continued improvement from their last presentation when they gained the Achievement level award in early 2013. It is great that they continue to be an exemplar in looking after their staff.” Zoe Bates the manager of the home said: “I am delighted to receive the Gold Award for being a healthy workplace. Our staff’s health is very important to us, and especially in this field of work, keeping our staff healthy, both physically and mentally, is vital. Exploring ways to reduce stress and treat our staff is also important to us. In 2014 we arranged Indian Head massages for those that

wanted them and we also arrange counselling sessions to support our staff in the difficult work that they do.’’ The Gold Award is the highest award from Horsham District and Valerie Manor have successfully progressed from Achievement to Gold level during 2014 and have recently had Wellbeing MOTs for their staff from the Horsham District Wellbeing team.

For more information about the award or having staff health checks please contact Beverley Young at Horsham District Council on 01403 2125277 or email beverley.young@horsham. gov.uk.

50 years since his death Churchill’s Horsham speech remembered

horsham museum www.horshammuseum.org

With the nation remembering the death of Winston Churchill 50 years ago on Saturday, January 24, many local people do not know that during 1937 Churchill gave a speech in Horsham that was attended by over 1,500 people. Churchill was invited to speak at the Horsham Conservative Fete in Holbrook Park where he gave an extensive speech attacking paciﬁst views. In the speech Churchill accused the opposition parties to the National Government of minimising the necessity for the Government’s re-armament programme and said that there was no section which Nazi dictators would sooner attack that the Radicals and trade unionists. He declared “Among the left Wing intelligentsia was an increasing number who considered it their sacred duty to support measures of defence and in the cause of freedom. Professional paciﬁsts would be doing greater service if they went to Germany where the entire population was being welded into a vast

ﬁghting machine”. The speech didn’t say anything new, Churchill was reiterating views he had expressed previously. However the Worthing and Horsham Conservative Association wanted him, knowing what they would get. Today because of hindsight the relevance of his words are apparent, but if war had not broken out then it would have been just a minor footnote in the history of the town. The Government was demanding that local authorities should be prepared for war and in light of this the speech can be seen as part of making people aware of what might happen and creating a culture of preparedness. Just before Christmas of 1937 a meeting was held at County Hall about action in the event of an air raid that was followed in April by a further report and a request by the Royal Sussex regiment to know what Horsham Council were going to do. Then in October the full impact of what it meant to be prepared for air attacks and civil defence hit home when the Council discussed and set up a structure to manage its response. Churchill’s Horsham speech can be seen as part of this awaking response from Horsham Council in the preparation for war.

Brownies get baking at Sainsbury’s Last year in July, Horsham Garden Music Festival Charity introduced the Young Musicians Showcase as the first event in their popular music festival. It featured 15 young talented performers from the Horsham District aged from 9 - 21 years old performing original compositions. So how did they get the chance to perform at the festival? They all had passed through an audition process to showcase their talents at the festival. So now jump forward to this summer of 2015 where Horsham District

Council have invited The Horsham Garden Music Festival to arrange two musical events at the Carfax Bandstand in conjunction with this years annual festival. These will be held on The 4th and 11th of July in the afternoon and will feature this years Young Musicians Showcase. Held over the two weekends it will give the charity an opportunity to involve lots more young talented musicians and singers. As the audition process and subsequent Young Musicians concert were such an outstanding success, the Horsham Garden Music Festival committee

have decided that they will once again be holding auditions to find this years concerts performers. They are looking for bands, musicians or singers who have a passion for performing, to come forward and audition for a place at one of the two concerts. Auditions will be held on the 16th February at Q & M studios, Horsham, between 10 - 2 pm. So if you play an instrument as part of a band, a soloist or love singing contact the charity by email theladys@Hotmail.com or calling 07913 435631.

Sainsbury’s Horsham welcomed the 1st Roffey Brownies to the store to work towards a badge and for a special bakery lesson. Bakery Manager Robin Davies from the Horsham Store gave the brownies a talk including an introduction to baking, how bread is made and a little of the science of baking before offering treats for them to sample. Whilst at the store the brownies also worked towards their Number Fun Badge by listing ingredients for a simple meal, working out the ingredients needed and the cost.

Brown Owl Carol Cornish said “We were thrilled that Sainsbury’s agreed for us to come into the store to research for the badge, and the added bonus of a lesson on baking was wonderful. The girls had a lot of fun learning about the science of bread making and really enjoyed tasting the Hot Cross Buns.” Sainsbury’s Horsham Store Manager Derek Boarer, said: “Our store is at the heart of the local community and is important we can play our part to support it. When we heard about the Brownies visit, we were keen to get involved.”

Make 2015 YOUR year!

A 59-year-old man has admitted crashing his car while almost five times the drink-drive limit. Robert Hutchinson was spotted by a member of the public driving his Nissan Almera erratically on the A281 heading towards Horsham at 5.45pm on Friday, January 30. As the witness phoned police to describe what he could see, Hutchison veered off the road, overcorrected and crashed head on into a Ford Ka heading south on the road at Mannings Heath. The Ford span around and the Nissan ended up in bushes. The driver of the Ford, a 42-yearold woman from Plummers Plain, suffered slight injuries. Hutchinson was not injured. When police arrived they found Hutchinson was still sitting behind the wheel. He was breathalysed and found to have 169 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millitres of his breath - almost five times the legal limit of 35 microgrammes.

Hutchinson told police he had been drinking for several hours at home on Friday afternoon but had decided to go shopping for food and then crashed his car. He had already served a ban for drink-driving after being convicted in 2009 and did not have a driving licence. Hutchinson, of Fir Tree Close, Plummers Plain, was arrested, questioned and later charged with a number of offences. He was remanded in custody to appear at Chichester Magistrates’ Court on Monday, February 2, where he pleaded guilty to drinkdriving, driving without a licence and driving without insurance. He was released on bail to appear at Crawley Magistrates’ Court for sentencing on February 23. Superintendent Jane Derrick, the head of roads policing in Sussex and Surrey, said: “Hutchinson was not hurt and fortunately his victim only suffered whiplash and bruising but both could have been seriously hurt or even killed. “Whilst alcohol has an impact upon an individual’s decision making, Hutchinson would have been aware that he shouldn’t have

driven on that day but nonetheless made the decision to do so. “Drink-driving will not be tolerated and we have officers out every day looking for and arresting motorists whose selfish behaviour puts people at risk. “I would like to thank the member of the public who realised Hutchinson was putting people in danger and called us. “On another day we might have been able to stop and arrest Hutchinson before the accident happened so I would urge anyone who has similar suspicions about motorists to contact us immediately. Your call really could save lives.” People in Sussex can text officers on 65999 with the details of people they suspect of drink or drug driving or visit www.operationcrackdown.co.uk. You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. To keep up to date with officers looking for drink drivers, follow #opdragonfly on Twitter. If you know someone is driving while over the limit or after taking drugs call 999.

Investment in police services gets the go ahead

Katy Bourne

nvestment proposals to build on Sussex Police’s crime-fighting capabilities have been given the green light by local Councillors. Members of the Sussex Police and Crime Panel carried a majority vote in support of a proposal by the county’s Police & Crime Commissioner, Katy Bourne, to increase the police precept in 2015/16 by 1.98%. This means that local taxpayers will pay an additional £2.79 for policing per year per household for a Band D property. The proposal follows a business case set out by the Chief Constable for additional investment to support operational demands including improving

the Force’s ability to tackle child sexual exploitation and respond to incidents of cybercrime. Mrs Bourne carried out a twomonth consultation with residents asking for their views on the proposed increase, which attracted over 2,600 responses. Mrs Bourne assured members that despite Sussex Police having to meet a savings target of £57 million over the next four years the additional funding raised by increasing the precept was not an attempt to plug the deficit following a reduced police grant settlement. Mrs Bourne said after the decision was made “I am delighted that the Panel have taken onboard residents’ views and supported this increase in the precept for the year ahead.” A wholesale review of the way policing services are delivered in Sussex is currently underway to identify how it can meet the future savings requirement and ensure the Force is fit to tackle the changing face of crime in the 21st century.

Local charity puts the Rock and Roll into Bingo Local charity Home-Start CHAMS are holding a fundraising evening with a difference at Horsham Rugby Club on February 27, starting at 7pm. The evening will involve taking part in ‘Rock & Roll Bingo’ which is a music quiz that is based on the popular game of Bingo. After hearing 15 seconds of a popular piece of music players need to identify the singer or band and then cross them off their ‘Bingo’ card if they appear there. Home-Start CHAMS are organising the evening to raise much needed funds for their work supporting vulnerable local families with young children throughout Crawley, Horsham and Mid-Sussex. The charity trains volunteers who visit families facing issues such as isolation, financial hardship, or disability, in order to prevent family crisis or breakdown, so that the children won’t suffer. As more local families are struggling to cope, demand for the charity’s help is increasing and so Home-Start CHAMS are appealing to the local community to come along and support their work. Aneliese Whittaker, Events & Community Fundraiser at HomeStart CHAMS said, “This will be a great evening to get together with friends and family and enjoy a fun

Still time to start your New Year’s resolutions!

night out. Tickets are only £10, including supper and 4 games – that’s a real bargain! We’re looking forward to meeting lots of new people from the local area” If you would like to join in the ‘Rock & Roll Bingo’ craze while supporting a great local charity tickets are on sale now.

Farlington pupil fundraises for charity expedition to Tanzania

Horsham ‘Wacky Racers’ wanted for Top Gear-style charity challenge 2014 participants’ group photo

Farlington School’s Alice Tarplee is working hard to achieve her fundraising total of £2,600 which will enable her to take part in a charity expedition to Tanzania with 21 other Farlington students from Years 11, 12 and 13. So far, Alice, 16, from Cranleigh, has baked cakes to sell at Farlington and sold more cakes at a fundraiser at a school in Cranleigh before Christmas. She has also undertaken an exhilarating, but terrifying sky dive. Alice is just over the halfway mark in her fundraising and is currently planning a quiz night to generate the final funds. The money she raises will allow her to visit Tanzania with the company, True Adventure, which will include a six-day sanitation project in a village.

Farlington’s Jane Williams, who took a group of students to Zambia for a similar expedition in 2013, said: “The benefits of these trips are enormous, both to the students and to the communities that they help. The company that organises the expedition ensures that the projects are meaningful and environmentally-friendly, and that the students run the trip and have real responsibilities. “These expeditions provide a unique personal development and an educational experience second to none. Everyone who took part in the 2013 Zambia expedition, whether they were 16 or 47, was changed by the trip. I’m sure Alice and the other students going to Tanzania will gain a great deal from the invaluable work that they will undertake.”

Calling all petrol heads from Horsham. Organisers of the Monte Carlo or Bust Banger Rally are inviting real life Wacky Racers from Horsham to burn rubber for over 1000 miles to Monte Carlo via France, Switzerland and Italy in a Top Gear-style challenge to raise money for charity. The rally challenges car enthusiasts to source a banger car for less than £300 and take part in a variety of hilarious challenges along the way competing for points and priz-

es. Teams are encouraged to raise money for a local charity of their choice and can share their progress with supporters back home via live GPS tracking. Inspired by the classic Paramount film, the 3-day crusade will see over 100 of the finest British bangers visit some of Europe’s most exciting locations and experience spectacular roads with backdrops of sun, sea, sand and snow. Participants in the 2014 event raised over £100,000 for UK charities.

HUGE SAVINGS

THROUGHOUT THE STORE

A fresh start in the garden Guy Deakins Gardening February 1, was believe it or not, in the Northern European tradition, the first day of Spring. St Brigid’s day is a welcome addition to any gardener’s calendar as it symbolises something new. If you are baulking at my suggestion, having first looked out of the window at the frosts, remember your Sussex tradition. First cuckoo day, (the first day of summer in Sussex) is traditionally April 14, so please try not to adopt the American system of seasons as your own. It just isn’t cricket. As it is a time for fresh starts, I’d just like to say well done to Nigel for all his hard work making Newbridge Nursery such a great nursery and welcome to the new Blue Diamond owners. I look forward to seeing what you can achieve.

In the gardens, the daffodils are in blossom along with the beautiful snowdrops, bringing cheer to what can be a glum time for some. There are also other plants that are in flower now, if you seek them out, which may bring an even bigger smile to your face. Sarcoccoca confusa (Sweet Box) is a plant which at this time of year fills a garden with a heady scent. If planted in swathes in a border, or at your back door, you will surely be lifted on a cold day. Supposedly tough as old boots, it can in actuality be fussy, liking deeper soil, so be aware if it begins turning yellow, it may not be too happy where it is. Feed it and then move it. Daphne bholua ‘Darjeeling’ is another plant which is highly scented, with attractive leaves, this time offering a spicy lemon odour. Hamemellis (Withchazel) is another - a tree if left to grow to full

height - again a plant that will fill quite a large space with pleasant perfume. However, be aware before you buy. Yellow flowered varieties are the colour to go for if you want the stronger scents. The Mahonia x charity is another excellent structural plant, which on a sunny day will give off a strong, heady smell. There are some I noticed in Horsham park, which were blooming successfully until some clout decided to prune everything within an inch of its life. Which just goes to prove that not all plants should be pruned in the depths of winter, or early spring. Some, especially those that flower early, need to be pruned at a different time. It also proves that if you are canny and choose your plants well, you can fill your garden with scent from the start of spring to the end of winter. Earrach Sasta!

As I write these words the first earnest flurries of snowflakes are making their way to the ground and settling with a cool disposition. The days now take a frosty bite from exposed extremities and as a pedestrian and cyclist I become ever more aware of the fragility of the flesh at the tips of my ears. This is the time when we should be taking stock of our preparedness for winter. We have not lacked in opportunities to purchase snow shovels, to gather grit for the pavements, and to be aware of alerts from the Metoffice regarding yellow warnings for snow. This should not be confused with warnings for yellow snow as that is a concern for another time. From experience of winters past in Horsham we can expect things to swing from mild spring like moments to days or Arctic turmoil; and in it all the online forums will swell with comments complaining about the lack of gritting, the lack of road clearance, the lack of driver competency, and the general increase in ice. As ever I can expect the usual

passing comment as I clear my path, the drive, and my part of the road, that I may be setting myself up for a lawsuit. No matter how many times I explain and detail how ridiculous such urban myths are they will walk away shaking their heads at my lack of belief. It would be easier to convince a chemtrail believer of the fallacy in their clouded thinking than to change the mindset those who are constrained from action by the fear of liability. Granted for every comment directing the community to grab their coats, shovels, and muscle power, there will be observations that a few people cant join in for a variety of physical reasons but that is hardly a compelling case to avoid all voluntary eﬀort. So when you have ﬁnished reading this paper I encourage you to contact your local District or Parish council and discover if grit bins and shovels will be made available. Check your own shed, or storage closet, for the right tools and for the means to clear a path through the snow and ice to come. We should aim to make 2015 the year in which we stopped living with constraints of liability and entitlement and took some responsibility to clear the way for ourselves and for our neighbors.

Lucy Hargreaves from the college’s Progression Directorate, who helped organise the event, said: “It was great to see such enthusiasm, with the quieter students coming to the fore, growing in confidence and standing up and presenting for the first time.” MyKindaCrowd’s inspirational Sam Michaels said: “I was hugely impressed with the ideas that came out in such a short time. They were original ideas and what was wonPh ot derful, was the fact o they were utilising the skills of everyone in the group for their ‘youth challenge idea’. It was great to see students really come out of themselves throughout the session and in particular the 5 students chosen to come along on the assessment day. They showed enthusiasm, creativity, team work and a great work ethic! A very well done to all!” Collyer’s Vice Principal, Steve Nicholls said: “Thanks to Lucy, Sam and everyone involved for making this important event possible. The skills these students are developing will prove vital in their future careers and I’m sure the five ‘stand out’ students will be great ambassadors for Collyer’s and Horsham on the March 6.”

‘MyKindaCrowd’ recently visited Collyer’s to deliver an ‘Employability Skills’ Workshop, in conjunction with Starbucks. 30 students participated in activities incorporating: problem solving, creative thinking, working with different people, time management, presentation skills and interactive challenges. The event culminated with the group being split into teams, where they each worked on a presentation of their idea for something that would help the local comls munity. Carleigh ae h Annetts, Shannen Cooney and Kim Stamp formed the winning team, whose idea for working with the elderly won them each a £20 Amazon voucher. In addition, Emily Scott, Kim Stamp, Sophie Ward, Chloe Lawrence and Oliver Robb were selected as five ‘stand out’ students who will now represent Collyer’s at the Starbucks follow-up event in London on March 6, where they will receive a masterclass in interview skills and have the opportunity to discover more about employment and apprenticeship opportunities within Starbucks. Carleigh Annetts said: “I found the workshop a really interesting and good experience. I also feel that the group presentation and workshop helped me to develop more confidence and build on my

A marketing communications expert and former District Post editor from Horsham has set up his own consultancy to help businesses improve their writing. James Hood, the editor at Fine Sussex magazine, is now helping clients across the South and in London to write more effectively and banish complex corporate waffle and jargon. James has been a copywriter and communications professional for over 12 years and told The District Post that effective, well-structured writing is not just a luxury or ‘niceto-have’ for companies that want to get ahead. “Good writing is essential for businesses, directors and market-

ing pros who want to get more customers, sell more products or services, and make more cash. “If your marketing material is written to encourage an action, inspire an emotion or even written so simply that it gets read and understood by more people, you’re going to have more success as a business”, James said. With ‘brand language’ a big buzz word in business at the moment, increasingly organisations are turning to communications experts like James to help them create marketing messages that will help them attract and keep customers. James added: “An organisation’s ‘tone of voice’ or ‘brand language’ is all about the way you behave in your written and verbal communications. For example are you a young, quirky, hip start-up that wants a street-wise tone? Or are you a 100 year-old accountancy firm that needs to have a distinguished, decisive tone. It all helps create a brand that people can associate with and therefore buy from. “We have seen the positive effect that a well thought out brand language can have to organisations like Innocent Smoothies and Virgin. But it doesn’t have to be as obvious as that. There are ways you can make the writing on your website, marketing literature and even in your emails better to ensure they achieve whatever you want them to. If it’s done well, that can translate into more profit.” To hire James to create marketing communications that win you more business, call 07900923458, email james@conveyconsultancy.co.uk or go to conveyconsultancy.co.uk for more about the services available.

Some of James’ top tips for business writing success are: Cut the jargon Industry-specific terminology is lazy or just makes the writer feel important. Change technical words to something even a 10-year-old would understand. It’s just good manners. Cut to the chase Don’t dance around an issue or start emails with ‘I just thought I’d email you to tell you that…’ Get to the point and fast. People have very little time for waffle these days. The direct approach will mean your writing actually gets read. Who cares? When writing to anyone, but especially to customers, ask yourself ‘who cares?’ It will help you to include the essential information and not startle your reader with page after page of words. Stop ‘passionating’ all over the place If I had a pound for every time I’d read the words ‘we are passionate about’ I would probably be sipping a Mojito in Barbados right now. My point is words like ‘passionate’ and ‘committed to’ are so overused they have become meaningless to most consumers. Use the short time you have to get their attention and tell them something they will value.

Shoppers in Horsham are being taken ‘Back to the Future’ Hollywood’s DeLorean car will be at Swan Walk on Saturday, February 7 as innovative online estate agency Zoom995 take Horsham ‘Back to the Future’. Shoppers will be invited to be photographed with a Doc Brown lookalike and his famous time-machine parked at the swan mosaic outside the Superdrug store throughout the day. As part of Zoom995’s new campaign to build consumer awareness about the future of the property industry, the event celebrates Back to the Future Part 2 when Doc Brown and Marty McFly go back to the future and arrive in 2015. Stuart Robinson, director at Zoom995, said: “We’ve all had theories of what the future might hold, like hoverboards and the self-tying trainers in the movie which Nike are now designing. What might sound like a mad idea now could be the next big thing in 50 years. Noone thought that the future of estate agents would be online, but the fact is that it’s happening and for the simple reason that it’s quick, easy and a fraction of the cost.”

Zoom995’s experienced estate agents will be on hand at the event to answer any questions and to talk to shoppers about the benefits and financial savings to be had by sell-

ing their properties online at a fixed rate of just £395 + VAT. For further information about Zoom995 visit www.zoom995.co.uk or call 0333 358 3095.

Horsham based company announces re-release of magnetic therapy wand It’s good news for arthritis sufferers this week, as Horsham based company Norstar Magnetics announce the re-release of the highly acclaimed Magnessage, a portable Magnetic Field Therapy (MFT) device which in the past has proved very popular in the treatment of joint, bone and muscle pain, as well as for a whole host of other health issues. Also known affectionately as the magic wand, it’s been unavailable for the past 18 months but is now back after a re-design. Some of the Magnessage’s more impressive attributes are that it can penetrate plaster cast and can treat painful areas without even coming into contact with the skin and it rose to fame in 2011, after it was used to help the infamous Labrador Vinnie, who was rescued by comedian David Walliams. Although at times controversial, the use of magnetics to maintain health and treat health issues and injuries is becoming an increasingly popular, natural, non-invasive and pain free alternative to conventional medicines and treatments. And as long ago as 2004 the British Medical Journal reported on a survey commissioned by the Arthritis Research Campaign, which reportedly found that magnetic bracelets

significantly reduced pain for osteoarthritis sufferers. What’s more the Magnessage can be used for both the treatment of humans and pets suffering from a vast range of complaints.

On your marks. Get set.

Founder of Norstar Magnetics, Alan Cooke, set up the company in 2007 after accidently discovering the benefits of MFT and recently explained how it all came about, Mr Cooke said: “At the time I was working at Gatwick and somewhat cynically I tried a magnetic bracelet to see whether it could help with my high blood pressure. The improvement in my health was almost instant but I still found it hard to believe that Magnetic Therapy could have such an impact. I decided to try and learn more and soon friends and work colleagues were reporting impressive results both for themselves and for their pets as a result of using the products I’d recommended to them. I’ve always wanted to run my own business and as I became increasingly convinced and excited about the effectiveness of MFT, starting Norstar Magnetics seemed the obvious next step. The Magnessage was an instant success so I’m really delighted to be able to announce the re-launch of this new and improved version.” Norstar Magnetics stock a wide range of MFT devices and their website includes articles about Magnetic Therapy and details of forthcoming educational events. The Magnessage is now available via their website at www.norstarmagnetics.com.

Ariel’s Steyning Academy Students perform a sell- out Showcase

find us on facebook horsham.news

Farlington violinists give first concert

Steyning students in full swing

The girls in Farlington’s Prep 1 gave their first violin concert to family and friends at the end of last term. The four- and five-year-olds have enjoyed their first term’s instruction on the instrument from Brian Dallimore, Farlington Prep and Lower School Music Teacher, and Sheraine Lynsdale-Nock, violin teacher. Brian Dallimore said: “I was very impressed by how motivated and focused the girls have been throughout. We have been very fortunate to have had such an experienced and patient violin teacher as Mrs Lynsdale-Nock, or ‘Mrs Violin’ as the girls call her, working with us durThere was not a seat free in the house when Ariel students performed in their annual showcase. The drama academy, which is based at Steyning Grammar School every Saturday morning, has gone from strength to strength, growing from a handful of students to 98 young actors aged between 5 and 19. The evening was a full-scale show featuring hard-hitting drama pieces, imaginative dance numbers and well performed songs from both musicals and current artists. Highlights included some students performing challenging monologues they had learnt for their recent Lamda (London Academy of Dramatic Art) exams, a complex and poignant drama piece called ‘Mobile’, which was performed by the older actors and portrayed them communicating on mobile phones in the lead up to the 1999 Paddington train crash, a drama tribute to World War One and younger pupils singing their heart out as they performed numbers from Frozen and Matilda and also recreated the atmospheric witches scene from Macbeth. Steyning Principal, Marisha Jenkins said: “I am so proud of what the students have achieved, their progress has been remarkable and it is great to see their skills developing and to be able to track their improvement. Everyone worked so hard towards the showcase and it was great to fill the auditorium, we have had such lovely feedback from parents. For our next showcase we are planning to move to the Capitol Theatre in Horsham as we now need more room!” For a free trial at Ariel’s Steyning Academy 01444 250407 or visit the Ariel website at www.arielct.co.uk.

ing the term. The girls have learnt both pizzicato and bowing on open strings, and in their final open concert demonstrated these techniques proficiently in several pieces.” Mrs Hayes, Prep 1 teacher, said: “The violin lessons have had a very positive impact on the class. It is wonderful to find hidden talents in the girls, and the lessons have proved an excellent way of developing teamwork within the group.” It is argued that making music in the early and primary years increases listening and concentration skills, and enhances a child’s ability to discriminate between sounds which can improve phonetic aware-

ness and help to develop language and literacy skills. At Farlington, where the music department was a finalist in the Music Teacher Awards for Excellence, music-making is strongly encouraged. As Brian Dallimore comments: “Music-making in small groups promotes teamwork and is hugely enjoyable. Pupils’ confidence can also be enhanced if they have opportunities to perform. If they are having fun, they are more likely to continue playing an instrument. This term, we are rolling out whole class violin tuition for the girls in Prep 2 and I can’t wait to hear the results!”

the score will be – with a nod to the great Stevie Wonder – uptight... alright and out of sight!” In 1964 Motown crossed the Atlantic to become a musical phenomenon on these shores. The labels’ touring concert show, the Motown Revue starring Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Temptations, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, (Little) Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross and the Supremes, paved the way for Motown’s chart-storming success in the UK. That year the UK singles charts were peppered with Motown songs. To mark the occasion, The Magic of Motown brings an all-new production for 2015 to the stage with a 100-date nationwide tour.

The film was made by Sussexbased production company Fact Not Fiction Films and in terms of production value, is said to be Britain’s biggest co-operative film project to date. Filming took place in Horsham and around Sussex as well as in Jordan. Romina got her big break by chance, when she met Director, Tristan Loraine, at a Farlington Careers Fair. Little did she know, when she impressed Tristan with her acting ambitions, that her first film role would take her to such dizzying heights, literally! Storrington-based, Romina, won a drama scholarship to Farlington school and is now studying her A levels at Bishop Luffa sixth form. She is part of the Chichester Festival Youth Theatre and a member of the

18 year old Romina Hytten, landed the part in the locally produced feature film, A Dark Reflection when she was just 16. She stars alongside Georgina Sutcliffe, Rita Ramnani and Marina Sirtis in the supporting role of Molly Adamson. A Dark Reflection premieres at The Capitol Theatre, Horsham on Thursday, February 26, 2015. It tells the story of a disturbing conspiracy at the heart of the aviation industry. Billed as ‘Erin Brockovich’ meets ‘All the Presidents Men’, the fact-based film is based on director Tristan Loraine’s research as an Airline Captain. Research, that last week saw him awarded one of the first ever 26 British Citizen Awards (BCA), for his 14 year’s work on the issues raised in this film.

Goodwood Actors Guild, a company of about 250 actors and performers working annually at the world famous Goodwood Revival Motor Racing event in Sussex. As part of the Chichester Festival Youth Theatre, she has played ‘Lucy’ in “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”, and recently led a full cast of puppies on stage, as ‘Missis Pongo’ in “The One Hundred and One Dalmations”. About her role in the film, Romina said: “It was amazing to go through the whole process of professional film-making for the first time. I learnt so much and it has really inspired me to work even harder to pursue my career in acting. My next goal is to audition and hopefully gain entry to one of the top drama schools.” In her role as Molly, the airline captain’s daughter, she was filmed at the Southdown Gliding Club. Molly, already a trainee glider pilot, gets an aerobatic glider flight covered by the local paper. Molly’s pilot father comes along and meets the local journalist for the first time: a pivotal turning point in the film. Although Romina had never been in a glider before, she smiled her way through 22 consecutive loops and countless rolls with an experienced pilot, Guy Westgate, at the Storrington Club. Director/Producer Tristan Loraine said, “Romina was better than perfect for the part, she is so gifted and brave. Romina is one of the finest young actresses in the country.”

South East people will be relieved to learn that almost three quarters (81%) of locals would choose a romantic gesture over an expensive gift this Valentine’s Day – a study from British Heart Foundation (BHF) shops revealed as they launch their annual Love Notes campaign. In fact, local South East people are so keen on romantic gestures that 20% think a love letter or breakfast in bed (21%) is the most romantic thing a partner could do for them. South East BHF shops provide the perfect way to romance that special someone this Valentine’s Day by writing a heartfelt Love Note and displaying it in South East BHF shop windows until Valentine’s Day on February 14, as part of Heart Month. Just pop into your local BHF shop with a minimum £1 donation and write a note. Every penny of proﬁt raised goes on to fund lifesaving research into the ﬁght for every heartbeat. Debbie Dixon, Regional Manager for the BHF, said: “It’s interesting to see that 81% of local South West people prefer romantic gestures over expensive gifts. “Writing a Love Note for Heart Month and displaying in South East shop windows is one of the easiest ways to express your love for that special someone or something you love whilst the donation of £1 will help the BHF fund lifesaving research into heart disease.” This year celebrities such as Caroline Flack, Carol Smillie, Eliza Doolittle, Mollie King, Tina Hobley, Esther Ranzten, Gemma Merna, Aggie Mackenzie, Oliver Proudlock and Kate Thornton are supporting the campaign by writing their own special message on a Love Note.

The secret to writing the perfect romantic verse Professional poet and member of the UK Poetry Society, Julia Bird, is working with Interflora, the world’s largest floristry network, on a new campaign encouraging people to put their romantic thoughts into words this Valentine’s Day. According to research*, this is something more than half the nation struggles with, and together, they want to change this. Eight tips to crafting the perfect verse 1. Read first, then write. Poets have wooed their lovers in verse for centuries, poetry is a continuous conversation that you can join. Read a few of the best love poets for inspiration, and see what classic works you can adapt or imitate for your own romantic purposes. 2. Alternatively, you could always quote someone else’s poem on your flower card - www.poetryarchive.org (UK) and www.poetryfoundation.org (USA) contain thousands of poems celebrating every sort of idea and experience, and you can search by keywords to find something particularly meaningful to you and your lover. 3. R e m e m b e r , specificity is key. If you’re going to write a p o e m a b o u t your partner, don’t try and encompass the whole sweep of your relationship - focus on the particular detail: the weather on day you met, the charming asymmetry of her freckles, the way he cooks shepherd’s pie. There’s nothing so disarming as the knowledge that you are deeply known and remembered by another. 4. Equally exciting, however, is mystery. Perhaps you’re sending your flowers anonymously. In that case, concentrate on describing your own feelings – are you yearning or burning, sighing or lying? The person on the receiving end of the dozen stargazers will be dizzy with curiosity about who they’ve inspired to such levels of emotion. 5. Love poetry is driven by rhythm, the pattern of words that makes readers think of heart beats or dance steps. Are you going to fit lots of multisyllabic Latinate words into your lines for a delicate and precise sound; or will you go for the pounding rhythms of shorter Anglo-Saxon words? A

rose is the same thing as a Rosa berberifolia – but which one is more like your particular crush? 6. If you’re using rhyme, look beyond the obvious full rhymes (love/dove, heart/apart, moon/ June) that have been used many times before. Part rhymes (love/ save, heart/hurt, moon/mine) are less predictable, therefore more intriguing. 7. Leave behind the language of the past. Some poetic phrases are woven so deeply into our culture (‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day’/‘What light through yonder window breaks’) that we reach instinctively for the archaic poem-sounding words to add gravitas to our writing. Let go of ‘thee’ and ‘yonder’, and instead ﬁnd the poetry in the fads and fashions of today’s dictionaries. 8. Your innate creativity. Your relationship, fuelled by its particular mix of emotion, memory, desire, laughter and regret. The passion that you have for her, the lust that you have for him. Find a place for it all in your writing. Let your poem bloom.

thread through love poetry. What’s your love like? Why, s/he’s like this... O = Obstacle. ‘The course of true love never did run smooth’ says Lysander in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Many of the nation’s favourite love poems examine the difficulties inherent in a love affair, from Yeats’ poverty in ‘He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven’

to Andrew Marvell lacking world enough and time in ‘To His Coy Mistress’ to Christina Rossetti’s imminent death in ‘Remember’. What obstacle will you overcome in order to impress your soulmate? X = Mystery Quality. Finally, multiply all these necessary ingredients of a love poem by the passion, creativity and detail that only you can

provide when you’re contemplating your particular best beloved. X also symbolises a kiss, and you’ll want to ﬁnish your message with any amount of those.’ A wealth of further information, including a guide to romantic etiquette and an eBook of romantic verses to inspire you are available at www.interﬂora.co.uk/romantic-verse.

The formula for creating the perfect romantic verse Julia Bird, Interflora’s poetry expert, has also analysed the nation’s favourite 10 love poems to develop a ‘formula’ for the perfect romantic verse. According to Julia, it is as simple as: x (p + b + c + o). The formula, explained: P = Pattern. All ten of the nation’s favourite love poems are boldly metrical and have strong rhyming patterns. Rhythm is important to the love poet – it puts the reader in mind of heartbeats and dance steps. A rhyming couplet asserts a truth like no other figure of speech. Pepper your poems with pattern. B = Brevity. Many of the poems on the lists are sonnets – from Shakespeare’s ‘Let me not to the marriage of true minds’ to Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s ‘How do I love thee? Let me count the ways’. Your flower card provides even less space than the 14 lines of a sonnet, so you’ll want to make your point in a very few words – those words that your lover can recite by heart for the rest their life. C = Comparison. ‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day’ asks Shakespeare, and Robert Burns answers ‘O my Luve’s like a red, red rose’. The desire to compare and describe the love is a common Sanmae 2015 Valentine Menu.indd 1

Chalet bungalow for sale in Horsham

What’s Inside Lettings Page 30

Price range £450,000-£500,000 Situated in arguably one of the most sought after areas of Horsham is this three double bedroom chalet bungalow which offers well presented, spacious accommodation throughout. As you walk through the front door you enter a large entrance hall with ample space for coats and shoes along with a downstairs cloakroom. The kitchen is immediately off the hall and this provides modern units with a m p l e storage and work top space along with a great view over the secluded rear garden. Another door leads from here to the dining room with is a great size, plenty big enough for a large dining table, enhanced by large windows that again look out over the rear garden. A central staircase separates what is otherwise an open plan space with a generous

sitting room located at the other side. Much like the dining room there are large windows that allow plenty of light in whilst providing pleasant views over the surrounding gardens. A central fireplace which makes a great focal point, is also perfect for theses cold winter nights. The ground floor bedroom is a fantastic size and could comfortably be used as the master bedroom if required. The bedroom is a comfortable double but there is the added benefit of a large dressing area/en-suite which is a particular feature. If not used as the main bedroom, this certainly makes a fantastic guest room for family and friends. The remaining bedrooms are on the first floor and both are comfortable doubles. There is also a central family bathroom on the first floor with a bath which offers a shower over.

Family home in cul de sac location

The family

bathroom concludes the internal accommodation. Externally the property is approached via hard-standing providing ample parking and leading to a detached double garage. There is side access to the west facing rear garden, which is fence enclosed and mainly laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders. The Guide Price is £469,950 for the freehold interest. An internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this home and its convenient location within the village.

First impressions and the most impressions count Never underestimate the power of the internet when selling a property, says local estate agency Fox & Sons in Horsham. Having your property featured on the most popular and powerful property search websites is key to selling your property; especially given that 95% of all home movers start their property search online (YouGov, January 2014).

Michael Taylor, branch manager at Fox & Sons said: “We understand that the best on-line exposure for your property gives us the greatest chance of achieving the best possible price. “We advise sellers to look at which web portals estate agents will present their property on and instruct an agency that can put their property in front of the most potential buyers.”

Research shows that the two dominant property search portals are Rightmove and Zoopla* and unless properties are featured on both of these websites then sellers could be missing out on exposing their properties to a third of buyers looking online. Losing a third of your potential buyers could have the potential of not maximising the value of your property and therefore sellers

should strongly consider using an estate agent that uses both of the two dominant property portals. Fox & Sons places properties on both of these key sites as well as its own website. If you have a property to sell and would like to arrange a free market appraisal on your home, contact the local Fox & Sons branch on 01403 217417 or email: Horsham@sequencehome.co.uk.

Horsham inflict a Trojan virus

Matt Hough converted two short corners

Saturday January 31 - South League Premier Division 2 Trojans 2 - 3 Horsham Men’s 1st XI Hockey Martin Read – Sports Reporter Horsham move up to third with a game in hand, swapping places with Trojans after beating the impressive Southampton side in a crucial top of the table clash for the second time this season. Initially both sides battled to assert supremacy with Horsham earning more possession. Player absences necessitated a revised line up and with the defence holding firm the midfielders maintained control before, as looked inevitable, attacking forays gave Horsham the lead, Matt Hough converting two short corners to take his seasonal tally to a dozen goals. After the break Trojans were awarded a corner amid protestations and reduced the deficit, until

Horsham player coach Dom Male pinpointed a long pass to enable Rob Turnbull to supply Jack Dean from the side of the opposition D, Jack obliging with his tenth of this campaign, providing a 3-1 advantage. Although Trojans posted a late consolation Horsham’s victory was never in doubt, Team Manager Al Campbell describing their performance as the most measured and composed of the season. The league’s relentless challenge continues tomorrow (Saturday) when runaway leaders Henley come to Broadbridge Heath for an 11.30 start, with Horsham looking to continue their push for promotion by avenging their earlier defeat in Oxfordshire, Al Campbell predicting: “It could be the game of the season!” After competing in the national indoor competition in Nottingham, eighth placed Horsham Ladies return to league action with an away trip to Maidenhead (6th), whom they beat 3-2 at home in September.

To round off another successful competition for Horsham Gymnastics Centre two Grade 2 women’s groups consisting of Summer, Rhiannon and Clementine and Elise, Annabelle and Holly finished in 6th and 7th places respectively.

Chesworth Rovers U11 2 - 2 Horsham Ambassadors U11

Order of Merit winner Mick Brown with Barrie Clinton highlight being the Annual Order of Merit, for the most competition points over the year which went to Mick Brown who received the trophy from outgoing captain, Barrie Clinton. The meeting was followed by the captains’ pitch out / pitch in competition and the Captains lunch. The Cottesmore Veterans Golf Society meets every Tuesday and includes a selection of competitions and events throughout the season.

The second round of the Heron way Cup was played on a snow bound Chesworth pitch, the lines swept clear and a bright yellow ball were a must to ensure the match went ahead. Ambassadors started well and came at Chesworth from the whistle, Leo in the Chesworth goal keeping his team in the game as Ambassadors launched wave after wave of attacks. Zack and Zander in the Chesworth defence backed up keeper Leo superbly allowing the score to remain at 0-0 at the half time whistle. The second half continued with Ambassadors still on the front foot

and when a needless free kick was awarded to Ambassadors the visitors midfielder Tom curled it into net to give them the lead. The lead was doubled when Ollie burst through the Chesworth back line and looped his shot over Leo’s outstretched finger tips for 2-0. The two goal deficit somehow woke Chesworth up and they quickly pulled a goal back from an acrobatic volley by Finlay from a cross from Seb. Nyle then sealed the draw in the dying minutes with a shot over the Ambassadors keeper following a great run down the left wing to make the final score 2 - 2. The second match saw Seb score for a second week on the trot for a 1 - 0 victory.

Horsham Sparrows

away win at St Paul’s Panthers. Three goals from Man of the Match Luke P and one a piece from Jack D and Teddy G secured the win. Under 13 – Last Saturday the Sparrows Under 13 team played Partridge Green on a difficult pitch in a Division A bottom of the table clash. Partridge Green ran out 4 - 1 winners but the score did not reflect totally the play and Sparrows were unfortunate not to make the score a lot closer. Oliver S scored a consolation goal and Nathan S was Man of the Match for his fully committed performance. Under 14 – The plate semi final was settled in the first half as the Sparrows U14 team went 3-0 behind to a strong Lower Beeding side. A dogged second half performance from 10 man Sparrows denied any more goals with Jacob M getting man of the match. Under 15 – Two goals from Steyning were enough to secure the points against the U15 Sparrows.

Saturday January 31 - Sussex County League Div 1 Loxwood 1 – 0 Horsham YMCA Football Tom Norris – Football Reporter A Mark Cave penalty sixteen minutes from time earned Loxwood the local bragging rights for the second time this season, as they completed the league double over YM with 1-0 win at Plaistow Road last Saturday. Just a single goal separated the two sides this time around, as Peter Buckland’s YM sought to avenge the embarrassing 7-0 home defeat suffered in the reverse fixture at Gorings Mead in September. Neither goalkeeper was truly tested during a tight and often fragmented affair played on a progressively difficult surface, as both sides struggled to create many clear cut opportunities on goal. Despite a dominant second half showing from YM, the three points were in the end decided when visitors’ midfielder Luke Gedling clum-

sily tripped Loxwood substitute Michael Wood in the penalty area, and fellow sub Mark Cave coolly converted the resulting spot kick. The defeat sees Loxwood leap above YM in the table, with Buckland’s side slipping to eleventh in the Division 1 standings and without a win in 2015. The YM boss commented: “I think the game just reﬂected the way our season has gone. I can be disappointed but I can’t be upset because the players put in a good shift and we were the best team. Sometimes the best team doesn’t win a game of football. I could not see them scor-

ing without the penalty. The worst we should have come away from here with today was a 0-0. “I was very pleased with our response after recent results. I was pleased with the performance, but where we go from here, I don’t know. We’ve got four good games coming up now where I’d like to think we could come up with four victories and take some respectability out of the season.” YM Team: Lockwood, Carden, Gathern, O’Carroll, Evans, Dugdale, Gedling, D.

Heath hit ﬁve goals again

ing jinked his way into the penalty area the Heath midfield player was clumsily brought down but got up to score from the resulting penalty to bring his season’s tally to 17 goals. Another five goal thriller for Heath, the third time in the last four matches the side has scored five. Heath Manager Steve Painter said he told his players after the game that their target for the season has now been revised, the original aim at the start of the season was to maintain Division One status, but with 14 games still to play that has now been changed to a top 10 finish. A delighted Painter said “Considering that just three years ago we were playing Intermediate football in Division 3 this is an amazing rise”. Heath Team: M Chester, Alfieri, Bevan, Carruthers, Attwater (Flack 52), Waddingham, Moore, McDermott, Andrade, Legrange (Robinson 65), Bhujun (McNab 70).

Saturday January 31 - Sussex County League Div 1 Broadbidge Heath 5 - 0 Selsey Football Dave Smith – Sports Editor After the snow and ice had melted, the original reason for this game to be in doubt, the resulting waterlogged pitch again placed a question mark on it going ahead before the referee decided late on that the conditions were playable. Heath were quick out of the blocks, Ollie Moore heading home a Merv Bhujun far post cross, in what was their ﬁrst attack on the 3 minute mark. Bhujun and Tiago Andrade both came close to adding a second but

Heath and Andrade did not have long to wait for a goal as on 18 minutes a Piers McDermott shot from the edge of the penalty area hit Tiago Andrade who turned and hammered the loose ball into the roof of the net. Heath extended their lead before the break when Ollie Moore sidestepped a challenge before smashing a right foot shot past the Selsey keeper to make it 3-0. Heath added a fourth midway through the second half, Andrade was fouled just outside the area, Moore’s free-kick was blocked by the wall but the ball fell kindly to Bevan who smashed a left foot shot through a crowded area into the net.

Tuesday February 3 – Ryman League Division One South Horsham 2 – 2 Tooting & Mitcham

ollowing the disastrous home defeat to fellow relegation candidates Redhill this was an improvement against a far better side than the team who had won so convincingly at Gorings Mead three days earlier, but then again it needed to be. Tooting & Mitcham sit comfort-

ably in the mid table and perhaps the lack of urgency that is generated from not being in relegation or promotion fights should have meant that this was three points that the Hornets should have claimed. However some very strange refereeing decisions went against Horsham in this match at a time they need all the luck and good judgement they can get. Another new face made it into the starting line-up, 33 year old Irish defender Richie Byrne has previously played in the Scottish FA Cup final for Dunfermline Athletic and in the UEFA Cup for Shamrock Rovers and Aberdeen before now joining a relegation battle at Gorings Mead with Horsham. In a first half that was just edged in terms of possession by the visi-

Horsham fall apart in relegation six pointer Saturday January 31 - Ryman League Division One South Horsham 0 – 4 Redhill

gave visiting keeper Luke Badiali no chance and registered Camara’s first goal for the club. Then in a reverse of his poor decision of the first half the referee decided that a foul against Horsham was inside the area when it was apparent to all it was well outside. Tooting’s Frankie Sawyer gratefully stepped up to accept the referee’s gift of the penalty kick which he fired past Williams for the equaliser. Despite increased pressure from the visitors Horsham kept going and were rewarded for their endeavours when they regained the lead through Nwachukwu on seventy nine minutes. However the turning point came nine minutes later when Nwachukwu collected his second yellow card leaving the Hornets to play the last two minutes of normal time and the sev-

en minutes of added time the referee somehow had deemed warranted. The visitors laid siege to the Horsham goal and inevitably ﬁve minutes into the seven added Tooting & Mitcham’s Stefan Cox grabbed his team’s second equaliser of the night leaving the ﬁnal score at two each, which on balance of play was probably a fair result. As the games come thick and fast another mid table side, Chipstead, visit Gorings Mead this weekend (Saturday February 7). With one point from a possible six from the last two games Anthony Storey will be looking to get another winning run going as soon as possible.

tors Horsham had two gilt edged chances. After a good run from McCreadie, Tony Nwachukwu blasted over before the best chance of the half fell to Richie Welch who wasted the opportunity when he should have given his side the lead. The main talking point of the half was when somehow the referee denied the Hornets a blatant penalty after Tom Hughes was clearly fouled well inside the area. The referee, who was only a few yards from the incident, inexplicably adjudged it to be outside the area and gave a free kick. In the second half Tooting continued to have more of the play with one eﬀort crashing oﬀ the bar with Gareth Williams beaten, but it was Horsham who took the lead.

Future looks good for table topping Horsham

Horsham’s Declan Nwachukwu was man of the match

Saturday January 31 - London 3 South East League Lewes 3 - 40 Horsham Rugby Richard Ordidge

young Horsham side, playing ﬁve teenagers, secured a comfortable 40-3 away win at Lewes. They found their hosts a tougher proposition than when they last met in October, having been strengthened by several players joining from Sussex University. Dartfordians, Horsham’s closest challengers, surprisingly lost at home to Old Dunstonians, and Horsham’s lead at the top of the table has now extended to eight points. Horsham had six enforced changes from their last game due to injury

and unavailability, and when experienced Number 8, Richard Tredgett left the field after 7 minutes with an ankle injury, the Green and Whites had to dig deep into their resources. Johnny Ordidge was forced to move into the pack, before later leaving the field injured, thus disrupting the settled three quarter line which has been one the foundations of Horsham’s success over recent months, but this only served to show the quality of the young former Colt’s players coming to the fore. Kyle Fairs, Liam Brady, Joe Emson, Kyle Fuller and Declan Nwachukwu demonstrated that the future of Horsham rugby is in safe hands for years to come. Top scorer Jamie Gibbs moved into the centre and notched his first try since December running a great line off Tom Johnson to score un-

Disappointing Kent trip for Borough rugby

Martin Read – Sports Reporter

Saturday January 31 - London 3 South East League Bromley 24 - 10 Pulborough Returning to league action injury hit Pulborough, without a win since December 6, were undone by a strong Bromley side after starting disappointingly in testing conditions. Early in the season Borough pushed the third in the table Kent team close and had the chance to beat them only to be narrowly defeated. But the replay was a diﬀerent story. The hosts were 24 nil up at the break yet Borough came back

well in the second half with two tries, the first from Jack Ledra, both conversions going wide – one from too acute an angle and the other taken away in the gale. After Bromley were prevented from adding to their score, full back Frazer Oliphant-Hope told the District Post: “We let ourselves down in the first half, especially in the opening 20 minutes – it was very cold and our tackling was a bit off. We recovered strongly in the second half but handling errors made it difficult for us”. Team Manager Roger Hunt added: “We were short in the front row and that made a big difference.” Borough remaining eighth, their lead over Park House reduced to five points, return home to entertain sixth in the table Folkestone tomorrow (Saturday), against whom they lost in Kent earlier in the season.

der the posts on 15 minutes, which Johnson converted. Lewes then pegged Horsham back with a penalty from Jon Pitts. Horsham extended their lead when Sean Tuhakaraina burst through the middle to score on 26 minutes later followed by a fine show and go from scrum half Josh Mills who scored his first try for Horsham 1st XV. On the stroke of half time the Green and Whites secured their four try bonus point with a fine length of the field try. Johnson launched a counter attack from his own try line and the ball was spun wide to Fuller who rounded his man and as the cover defence closed him down he put in a long kick that Gibbs won the race to touch down and score his second. All four first half tries were converted by Johnson and Horsham

Tom Johnson kicked five conversions for Horsham went into the break leading 28-3. The gloss was put on Horsham’s victory with a fine counter attack leading to London & South East Under 18 triallist, Nwachukwu, outpacing the defence to score a long distance try on his first team debut and then Joe Green grounded the ball following powerful scrum, converted by Johnson, to seal the win. Horsham coach Nick Stocker was happy after the game. “We had a lot of changes due to injuries, but the rest will give them a chance to recover for the difficult matches ahead. I am delighted that we scored 40 points in difficult conditions against a young fit side having made five changes in the pack since we last played. Following the disruption I was very happy with the way Matt Stone and Giles Barber in the forwards,

and Sean Tuhakaraina in the backs, stepped up into leadership roles during the game using their experience. My choice for man of the match goes to Declan Nwachukwu. It is not often that players have the ability to step up from the Colts. He always looked to get involved and scored a very good try.” Horsham’s next game is at home to Heathﬁeld & Waldron tomorrow at 2:30pm (February 7), who themselves are in a rich vein of form being on an eight match unbeaten run stretching back to mid November. The match is a double header being also the Bob Rogers Sussex Cup semi-ﬁnal. Horsham Team: Bell, Gibbs, Ordidge (Rush 40), Tuhakaraina, Nwachukwu; Johnson, Mills; Brady (Fairs 40), Stone, Barber; Green, Emson; Price, Smith, Tredgett (Fuller 7).

Horsham chase third place after Brighton defeat Sunday February 1 – Under 16 League 1 Brighton 43 – 3 Horsham Junior Rugby Dave Smith – Sports Editor In a game where the score did not fully reﬂect the balance of play Brighton scored seven penalties and converted four where Horsham only managed a solitary penalty kick. The superior Brighton side raced into a 17 – 0 lead but Horsham kept battling and had by far the better of the play after an intentional knockon resulted in a sin bin which reduced Brighton to 14. However in the second half Horsham lost a bit of concentration and Brighton stepped up their game and ran out 43 – 3 winners. For the Green and Whites, hooker Tom Hamblet put in a formidable man of the match performance but the opposition proved too strong. Brighton have a squad over twice

Lewis Wilson and Ryan Macguire against Brighton the size of Horsham’s with many of their players playing with the Harlequins so along with second placed Worthing they are the strongest team in the division which leaves Horsham to battle with Pulborough

and Jersey for what would be a very credible third spot. The other Horsham junior team in action on Sunday, the Under 15 side, had a comfortable 50 – 0 home win over Lewes.
