olice are investigating a woman who was raped in Horsham Park on Tuesday, October 28 at around 11am. The victim, a 40-year-old woman from Horsham, reported it on Monday (November 3). She had been in town when she met a man she knows and went to Horsham Park with him. He then forced her to have sex near to the North Parade end of the park. DS Laura Diamond said: “The victim describes the man as white, between 40 and 50-year-old with grey hair and stubble. He is medi-

um build, about 5’ 6” and wearing a green coat. “We are appealing to anyone who might have seen a woman in the area last Tuesday looking distressed. This is not random but the victim is extremely distressed by what has happened and we are giving her specialist support. “Anyone who has any information or saw something which could help us with our investigation, please contact us on 101 or email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 1326 of 3/11. Alternatively contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

The people of Horsham enjoyed the last throws of the balmy Indian summer on Saturday, November 1, to attend one of the largest Fireworks and Bonfire Night events in North Sussex at Horsham Rugby Club which has now been running for over 30 years. To add an extra sparkle to the evening Rebecca Craven and Max Bowden were in attendance from the hit BBC show Waterloo Road to judge the “make a guy” competition and provide some glitter to the occasion. To ensure that they arrived in style the stars were chauffeur driven by event sponsors, Vines of Gatwick, from their London homes, and from the photographs they were clearly a hit with their fans. Attendees enjoyed children’s entertainment, outside bars, food and music from Saviours of Soul in the clubhouse afterwards. Richard Ordidge, Horsham Rugby Club’s Commercial Manager and Fireworks Event Organisor commented afterwards: “With the weather gods on our side we had a fabulous turnout, with an estimated crowd of over 3,000 for our annual Fireworks and Bonfire Night at Coolhurst on Saturday. The fireworks were even better than last year so

Rebecca Craven and Max Bowden well done to Aurora Fireworks for putting on such a wonderful display. Hopefully everyone had a night to remember. “We must also thank our neighbours for being so tolerant of the noise and heavy traﬃc and for the various local companies who supported us for the event. These include Hepworths Brewery, Henry Adams, The Candy Box, The Black Jug, Capitol Theatre, Foundry Press, BEL Signs, Co-Ordination Catering, St John’s Church and Vines of Gatwick.”

Bungalow under renovation catches fire Police and fire investigators have examined a fire at a house in Shoreham Road, Henfield, which started just before 9pm on Saturday, November 1. The premises are under renovation and were unoccupied at the time. The fire was not reported to the fire service until the flames be-

came visible coming through the roof. Fire crews used four hose reels to extinguish the ﬁre. The cause of the ﬁre is under investigation and a spokesperson for Sussex Police said that no evidence has been found to indicate that the cause is suspicious.

Siblings make TV debut this weekend Four Horsham children are to make their TV debut when their TalkTalk ‘Mix Off’ video will be featured in The X Factor ad break. Maisie, 8, twins Emily and William, 6, and Sophia Keeling, 3, from Horsham, will be seen by millions of TV viewers on Saturday, November 8, during The X Factor ad breaks. The siblings will be performing Story of my Life by One Direction on TalkTalk’s sponsorship bumper after making their ‘Mix Off’ music video. TalkTalk TV, sponsors of The X Factor, created the ‘Mix Off’ app to give viewers of the show the chance to star on TV in their own unique music video, taking inspiration from some of the nation’s favourite pop stars.

Osteopathy Works Horsham PAEDIATRIC CLINIC

Children in Need appeal - 14th November

All new paediatric consultations 10% donated to children in need between 7th and 14th November

Birth is one of the most stressful events our bodies will encounter. The compressive forces can contribute to musculoskeletal complaints in babies bodies, and can commonly cause signs of irritability. These include • Inconsolable crying • Signs of colic • Sleep Disturbances • Problems feeding • Problems with winding, burping or bowel movements • Sinusitis and ear nose and throat disorders Osteopathy Works Horsham 8 Wain End, Horsham RH12 5TQ Tel:

07876-750517

osteopathyworkshorsham.com Email: frisby01@btinternet.com

Cranial osteopaths are trained to feel for subtle changes of rhythms in the cranium, spinal column and nervous system. Tensions and torsions are then released with speciﬁc subtle techniques, which encourages the body to be balanced and less irritable.

Chart-topping girl band, Little Mix, recently showed fans of The X Factor how to get the best out of the app. Fans of The X Factor can recreate their favourite boy band dance routine or channel their inner diva in front of the wind machine, and the best Mix Oﬀ music videos will be selected to appear in TalkTalk TV’s X Factor ad breaks and also feature on TalkTalk’s new TV player. Maisie, Emily, William and Sophia’s mum said: “We are all so excited that the kids get to be on TV; we were screaming and jumping around the house and I don’t think they will sleep for weeks! We all love the X Factor and thought it would be fun to make a TalkTalk X Factor mix! We can’t

stop watching our video and will definitely be tuning in on Saturday with all our friends and family to have an X Factor party!” The app has a variety of filters and graphic effects to give each Mix Off video a unique look and feel. Music includes tracks covering a wide range of genres from pop classics, to power ballads, so there’s something for everyone. TalkTalk’s sponsorship of The X Factor Live Final gives its 4 million homes the chance to win thousands of money-can’t-buy tickets and exclusive access to see their favourite contestants perform at the show’s spectacular final showdown. The TalkTalk Mix Off app is available to download via the Apple App Store, or Google play.

Osteopathy clinic oﬀers paediatric treatments

steopathy (meaning study of the bones) is a treatment technique designed to give relief for problems caused by the bodies structural or mechanical system. It allows the body to re-establish function and heal itself. Suzanna Frisby, told The District Post: “My original passion for osteopathy came from an interest in sports, nutrition and exercise. Osteopathy brought all of those together and what came from that is being able to treat a various amount of conditions. “The work is so varied and I see people with all different types of complaints. Every day at work is different, providing different challenges and we’re always learning.” When you’re pregnant or have just had a baby, you’re body can find it hard to adapt to all the change. Birth is one of the most stressful events your body will encounter. The compressive forces can contribute to musculoskeletal complaints in a babies body. Symptoms can include inconsolable crying, signs of colic, sleep disturbances, problems feeding, problems with winding, burping or

bowel movements, sinusitis and ear nose and throat disorders. Osteopathy Works regularly assist with these complaints and offer paediatric treatments for £35. Suzanna Frisby said: “I qualified in 1999 from the BCOM (British college of osteopathic medicine) with a BSc (Hons) ost med, a diploma in osteopathy and a diploma in naturopathy. “I previously worked as a sports massage therapist and had a keen interest in sports injuries, combining diet with exercise advice to speed recovery. “I completed a masters (MSc) degree in paediatric osteopathy in 2006 at the Osteopathic Centre for Children and lectured in both general and paediatric osteopathy at the ESO, BSO and OCC. (European School of Osteopathy, British School of Osteopathy and the Osteopathic Centre for Children.) “I now combine a busy home life with three young children with my passion for osteopathy.” Osteopathy Works Horsham is located at 8 Wain End, Horsham, RH12 5TQ.

Rotary raise Children in Need funds at Gatwick Support The Royal British Legion at Sainsbury’s Horsham Horsham Rotary reprised the Children In Need shows at Gatwick Airport last Friday, October 31, and Saturday, November 1, and also invited many mascots to join the fun, including Horsham’s Ringo the Dragon and Howie the Hornet. Gatwick laid on a Teddy Bears Tea Party and invited the children from Chestnut Tree Hospice and there was performance from children’s entertainer Dave benson Phillips. Passengers were also stunned to encounter a flash mob in the airport with dancers from Horsham Salsa wowing the crowds with an impromptu dance display before melting back into the crowd. The dancers performed a Cuban style of salsa known as ‘Rueda de Casino’ – the Casino Wheel. The event was organised by The Rotary Club of Horsham and supported by 27 different Rotary Clubs throughout Sussex and Surrey. President Dave Smith said: “The whole event has been a great success. Although the event was organised and run by The Rotary Club of Horsham it was supported by many other clubs from our Ro-

tary District. Gatwick Airport have been superb throughout and laid on a wonderful picnic in the North Terminal attended by children from Chestnut Tree House and their families. We have hopefully made many people aware of what Rotary is all about while raising some significant funds for the great annual BBC’s Children in Need appeal”. The BBC filmed at Gatwickand it will be brodcast on the Children in Need show on Saturday, November 15. You can still donate to Horsham’s Children in Need Fund and have your donation doubled by Santander Bank by making an online donation at Just Giving page ‘HRC Children in Need in Horsham 2014’, and if any local business would like a collection tin they just need to email the Rotary Club at horshamrotary@btconnect.com. Please keep giving and make this a record year from Horsham to Children In Need which helps local Charities such as Springboard whose CEO Nigel Scott-Dickeson also asks you to ‘please give generously’.

Poppy collectors will be at Sainsbury’s Horsham until November 8, raising funds for The Royal British Legion, the UK’s leading armed forces charity. This year marks the Centenary of the First World War and Sainsbury’s 20th year of support for The Royal British Legion. There will be poppy inspired products on sale in-store, with all profits going to The Royal British Legion. The range will include two jute bags designed by British fashion designer, Amanda Wakeley, sold exclusively at Sainsbury’s. Customers will also be able to ‘roundup’ their bill at checkouts to the nearest pound and donate the difference to The Royal British Legion. Last year customers and colleagues helped raise £4.5 million for The Royal British Legion and this year they hope to raise even more. Sainsbury’s Horsham Store Manager Derek Boarer added: “The Horsham community has been so supportive in past. This year we commemorate the start of the First World War and our 20th year of partnership with The Royal British Legion. I’d like to thank our customers for their kind donations so far and we look forward to all the activity we have planned to support this fantastic cause.” After Armistice Day, customers can also choose to recycle their poppies in-store. A recycling collection point will be available at the Horsham Store Customer Service Desk from the 12th to 24th November. All collected poppies will go back to The Royal British Legion to either help make new poppies or to generate more funds.

Cricket club ﬁreworks a real cracker martin read Sports Reporter

Horsham Cricket and Sports Club have been reviewing their ﬁreworks night at the cricket club and are delighted with the positive feedback received. The club got behind the event – helping to set it up, providing seventy stewards on the night with extra staﬀ on duty and others coming back next day to clear the ground. Talking exclusively to the District Post the event organiser, club committee man Mike Manktelow said: “There was a queue outside at 5.15

and people were greeted by a fair ground organ that came all the way from Jersey – so our fame is spreading! We sold out of tickets and had to close the gates with about 6,000 in the ground. The good weather really made it and the fireworks were even more spectacular this year with the crowd staying on. It was great to see children and their families enjoying our fairground laid on by Harris of Ashington, the first time in a hundred years that they’ve been in business in Horsham. The food stalls went really well – they were a sell out, too. And, the post fireworks disco proved very popular, so all in

all we’re delighted and have earmarked the funds raised to undertake some essential refurbishment work at the club.” Next year’s event – on October 31, is already being mapped out, with a seriously memorable Halloween theme in prospect, Mike Manktelow adding: “We’ve set the bar quite high this year but have got plenty of ideas to make it even better next time and we’ve already booked some of the key things to make sure that happens. Meanwhile, a huge thank you for our wonderful volunteers and helpers – without them the event would not have been possible.”

Masterchef champion launches cookery competition Reigning BBC Masterchef: The Professionals Champion, Chef Steven Edwards is launching the 2015 Create and Cook Competition in Sussex on November 10, to encourage 12 to 14 year olds to enter this hotly contested cookery challenge encompassing Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Steven, who is Head Chef at The Pass at South Lodge Hotel in Horsham, is a passionate ambassador and judge of the competition, which is organised by Fit2cook food education and sponsored by The Southern Co-operative. He said: “The Create and Cook competition is not just about cooking but being involved with the food journey from field to plate. As a judge, I am looking for cooks who demonstrate this understanding as well as using technique to get the most from their chosen ingredients.” With cooking now compulsory on the school curriculum, the Create and Cook Competition has even more relevance. School pupils from Year 7-10 are now being asked to ‘understand the source, seasonality and characteristics of a range of ingredients’ as well as have a general understanding of cookery techniques and nutrition. Lily Collins and Keely Samain (14), pupils at The Academy Selsey won the Sussex final of the 2014 Create and Cook competition but were beaten in the regional final by Joe Lancaster and Alice Hyde, from Sandown Bay Academy on the Isle of Wight. Lily and Keely said: “This competition has been a really exciting and emotional journey and we were so pleased we got to the final, everyone should have this opportunity. It’s been exciting having Steven judge us, rather than watching him on TV being judged for his cooking!” The deadline for young cooks aged 12-14 years to enter the 2015 Create and Cook Competition is Friday, March 20, 2015, and entries need to be submitted through their school food technology department A county final will be held in Hampshire, West Sussex and the Isle of Wight; the winners from these will face a regional final in June to win £1000 for their school food technology department and the coveted fit2cook trophy.

Town Children In Need Hallowe Last Thursday’s town centre Children In Need Halloween Party, organised by Horsham District Council with Rotary Club of Horsham attracted and entertained hundreds of young families thanks to the participation of businesses and partners from around the town. The fantastic weather meant town visitors once again enjoyed all the fun of Halloween with most activities centred around Thursday’s market on the Carfax on Thursday, October 30. A BBC television crew were on hand for the fourth year running to film the town’s Children In Need fundraising activities and Horsham Rotary had arranged for the now sakakini 2014_Layout 1 25/09/2014 11:03 Page 5 obligatory visit by BBC’s Pudsey and

Blush in person. With Santander Bank offering to match all this year’s town centre Children In Need funds from the event, a fabulous total in the region of £2700 was raised on the day. Children of all ages delighted in showing off their best Halloween costumes at the fancy dress competition, sponsored by Non Stop Party Shop and children queued up for face painting by Busydays, pottery painting by Ceramic Shack from Piries Place and in the Activity Marquee sponsored by Gasgoine Pees. The DoStuffBus pumpkin carving, sponsored by Santander was particularly popular with over 100 pumpkins carved. Story Telling by Horsham Library

Services and the ‘Cute Pumpkin’ roving entertainer sponsored by Swan Walk’s Toy Barnhaus were enjoyed by many of the younger audiences and a number of market traders and members of the public entered the pumpkin carving competition later in the day with prizes provided by The Capitol, Sainsbury’s, Toy Barnhaus, Shake Away and Subway. Dave Benson-Phillips played two hugely entertaining sets that had both parents and children ‘dancing in the aisles’. Some great feedback has been received and the organisers hope to include an October half term town centre event in 2015 providing local business support continues.

Make pumpkin the dish of the day guy deakins Gardening

ll Hallows Eve on October 31, is a wonderful day. A real treat for the kids towards the end of the year when they can enjoy themselves by tricking each other or eating copious amounts of boiled sugar. Of course it symbolises a much more ancient custom of honouring the dead but somehow it has been mixed with a false idea that ‘it be witches night’ (which is the actually at the end of April) but that, as they say, is verbal history for you. One thing I have been growing this year has been pumpkins and you may ask why, as the shops are always full of them now. The truth be told, I actually like to eat pumpkins and am always slightly disappointed to see such a huge amount of food thrown away because we don’t know what to do with it. As somebody who does not eat gluten, a pumpkin is a fan-

tastic ingredient to add to cakes, pasta and bread mixtures. I also enjoy a good hearty soup, which if you cook the whole pumpkin can be potted up and stored in the freezer to bring out on really cold winter days in the garden to warm the soul. The Americans also use pumpkin as both a savoury or a sweet ﬁlling for pies – depending on mood one supposes. But this arrival to our gardens from the new world now has a very international following. It is an ingredient in many countries as a fruit to be cooked in curries or as an addition to sauces; the Chinese use the leaves in cooking too, which just goes to show how versatile this plant is and well worth the space to grow next year. They also store well if left in a cool and dry place. If you buy these fruit now for the ridiculously low prices you see in the shops, you can put them in the pantry or cool store for a time later in the year when you want to eat it. A truly fantastic plant. Guy’s spicy pumpkin soup • A large cooking pot • Hand Blender • 1 whole pumpkin

• • • • • • •

4 shallots Butter Teaspoon of Chilli flakes Whole pepper corns Salt Single cream 1 chicken stock cube in 1 pint of boiling water • Cup of peas or sweetcorn Cut the pumpkin into sections. Remove all the pith and seeds. Remove all the skin and cut the pumpkin into cubes. Slice the shallots and fry them in a large pot with a knob of butter until they are soft making sure they do not burn. Add chilli flakes. Turn the heat down, then fill to ¾ with diced pumpkin. Keep stirring as you add the stock. Top up pan with water until pumpkin is nearly covered and bring to boil. Put in 10 whole peppercorns and add a large pinch of salt. Stir and turn down to a simmer. Leave soup on a low heat until the pumpkin has softened. Using a hand blender, blend the soup into a smooth semi-viscous liquid. Add a cupful of peas or sweetcorn and turn off the heat. Leave for ten minutes, stir in cream then serve. (Don’t add the cream if you are freezing it).

Christ’s Hospital pupils relive history Photos by Toby Phillips

Children from schools across the region visited Christ’s Hospital to have a ﬁrst-hand experience of a range of aspects of Tudor Life on Friday, October 10. Time spent with members of the History Department dressed as each of the Tudor monarchs gave a sense of the changes and uncertainties that marked sixteenth century England, while the School chemists were able to recreate the wonder experienced by the early alchemists

as they unravelled the secrets of the natural world. Music features heavily in the life of Christ’s Hospital and a performance in the spectacular setting of the Chapel by the School’s talented Chapel Choir ﬁred young musical imaginations, while a spectacular display of Tudor falconry and time engaged in Tudor-style cooking and maypole dancing, showed what fun could be had in a pre-PlayStation age. Adam Reid, Head of History said:

“The Living History Day is always one of the great highlights of the year for Christ’s Hospital, and is an excellent opportunity for the History Department to share its passion for the past with a new audience. Given the ancient traditions, rich history and spectacular architecture of the School, it is both fun and educative to spend a day immersed in the Tudor world from which CH sprang in 1552.”

Community work in Horsham District BRIAN O’CONNELL

Chairman of Horsham District Council

After my short break in September, October has been very much business as usual. The month started with the Age UK annual meeting which focused on “Creating a Dementia Friendly Horsham District”. This was an extremely informative session in respect to the work being carried out by Age UK in Horsham district and the challenges they now face as dementia is a growing issue and more widely recognised within our community. There is some fantastic work being done by this group and the message is that that there is help and assistance available for both sufferers and carers. Dementia is a life changing disease and can have catastrophic effects on the family and those that have to care for people affected. Over 800,000 people in the UK have now been diagnosed with dementia. An estimated 700,000 families and friends are affected. One in three people over the age of 65 are likely to develop dementia. People in the UK are living longer so this is an ever increasing problem. If you are affected in any way by this condition then seek help, this is not something you need to face alone. I attended the Hall & Woodhouse Community Chest awards in Patcham. This was one of the more

pleasant events where the Dorset based brewery who have a number of public houses within the district present charities that have applied for an award with a donation towards a speciﬁc project. It is truly wonderful to see businesses being able to give something back to the community. My next appointment was a “Horsham Twinning Association” meeting. Horsham district is “twinned” with Lage in Germany and St. Maixent in France. The members of

this association work very hard to promote a greater understanding through exchange visits and work closely with local schools. If you are interested in the work of this group they will be having a stall at the Rotary Charity Market in the Carfax on Sunday, November 30. I am sure they will welcome all the support they can get. I was delighted to be able to open a new business on East Street. The opening of “1898 café” is further evidence of the success of East Street and the growing confidence of business people. I also had a very interesting afternoon with the Mayor of Lake Barrington, Chicago. He and is his family were visiting Horsham town to research some family history. His grandfather was one of the original gardeners of Leonardslee Gardens and he had been invited to see these wonderful gardens. He and his family then visited Horsham District Council and were given a tour of Park House, the main council offices and finished with a photo shoot in the council chamber.

A War Horse goes to auction Horsham’s Art Ache Gallery above Rachael’s Kitchen unveiled Peter Oldreive’s ‘A War Horse’ on Monday, November 8, which is due to go up for auction this weekend with all proceeds going to the Royal British Legion. The painting will be auctioned at the Poppy Donation Centre in Swan Walk at 11am on Saturday, November 8 in a frame from Ragdolls Fine Framing based in Horsham town centre who also re-stretched the canvas. Peter, who belongs to the Solent Aviation Artists group worked as a commercial painter for 37 years working in the film industry and creating pub signs, but today focuses on painting for pleasure. He said: “I thought I’d work with this World War One theme on this

painting, I wanted to keep in meaningful, and I thought I would use that as the focus.” Painting runs in Pete’s family and his father and grandfather were both commercial artists and he described his family as having “art in their genes”. Pete’s other work features Hurricanes and Spitfires and his personal work has a focus on aviation. Pete added: “I love painting, It’s in me and I loved doing it.” ‘A War Horse’ is currently on display at Art Ache Gallery and you can view it on Saturday at 11am in Swan Walk for the auction. All proceeds will be donated to the Royal British Legion. For more information on the Art Ache gallery visit www.artachegallery.wordpress.com.

Market returns home

Impulse Leisure consults local people for new campaign

orsham’s Mixed Market, currently hosted in the Bishopric area of the Town Centre, is set to return to its original home at Piries Place Shopping Centre from Saturday, November 1. The market’s operators, Horsham Markets, have been in negotiation with the landlords and tenants of Piries Place in recent weeks together with Horsham District Council and all have agreed for a move well before Christmas to avoid too much disruption to trade. The new ‘old’ home of the market is within a stone’s throw of the award-winning Local Produce Market in the Carfax that has grown extensively over the last four years. Many of the stallholders that originally traded at the Mixed Market when it was sited in Piries in the 1990’s are still trading in Horsham and the operators are confident that a move back to the East End of the Town Centre will attract more traders to create a vibrant and exciting market every Saturday. Brenda and Ted Kingham have been running a bakery stall at the market for over two decades and they welcome the move back. Brenda remembers, “the market was very vibrant in Piries Place before we left over ten years ago and we are very hopeful the move will help both the market and the area.”

This Autumn, Impulse Leisure will be encouraging local people to make exercising part of their day – a new membership campaign based on research carried out over the summer. The research asked both members and non-members to consider the most important feature for them when thinking of joining a gym/leisure centre, how they prefer to be communicated with once they are a member, and where they look when researching different memberships and locations. More than 200 people responded to a series of questions, with members and non-members overwhelmingly agreeing that facilities and price are the most important aspect of a leisure centre’s offer. Distance from home was rated a close third, at 35%, and 19% of respondents rated friendliness of staff as a reason for joining a leisure centre. Using the top three results, Impulse Leisure’s marketing team were able to build a campaign focussing on the facilities, price and the distance from home of their centres.

The move is also supported by Piries Place tenants including Donna Camera, owner of La Vida Boutique who explains, “a professionally managed market in Piries Place is a wonderful idea. We hope that the market will complement the already diverse mix of independent traders in Piries Place. Carfax market is a big draw for the town and has gained an excellent reputation for the quality of its stall holders and merchandise. I feel confident this market will further lift Piries as a shopping mecca for independent shopping” Pj Aldred of Horsham Markets says: “It is really encouraging that

the council, town businesses and key stakeholders support the markets in Horsham which, of course, helps to retain it’s identity as a real market town. There are many advantages for the market to return to it’s roots not least that it is far more sheltered and more conducive for all year-round trading.” The site was home to Horsham Market prior even to Piries Place being built and was closed temporarily whilst Waitrose and the Centre was built. A market was brought back in 1991 once the Centre was completed and returns once again to the area just off the Carfax.

Marketing Manager for Impulse Leisure, Michael Hurcum, said: “We asked people what’s important to them and designed our Autumn campaign around those wants. Showcasing our facilities is the key feature of the ‘Make Impulse Part of your Day’ campaign, alongside an example of one of our membership prices and location details of all of our centres, so people can see just how close and convenient we are. “Now that the colder, darker nights and mornings are setting in, we know that many can find it hard to get the motivation to exercise. We are encouraging everyone to make Impulse part of their day and get into the habit of exercise, which should help make it easier to stick with. “We would like you thank everyone in Thurrock who took part in our research this summer, as you’ve helped us shape our new campaign around what you want to see the most, and what you find useful.” If you are interested in joining Impulse Leisure they have a range of membership options available, visit www.impulseleisure.co.uk or your local Impulse Leisure Centre for more information.

Residents warned to look out for rogue traders As part of National Consumer Week, residents in Horsham district are being urged to look out for rogue doorstep traders preying on elderly and vulnerable neighbours. With as many as 170,000 incidents of doorstep crime occurring nationally each year, the National Consumer Week 2014 ‘Good Neighbours Stop Rogue Traders’ campaign advises neighbours, friends, families and carers how to spot incidents of concern and the practical steps they can take to support vulnerable victims and to gather relevant information. These traders often cold call vulnerable residents and offer to carry out work at properties which

is of poor quality, unnecessary and charged at extortionate prices, sometimes even driving the victim to the bank to withdraw money or threatening them. The detriment of doorstep crime reaches beyond financial loss. It can cause a person’s mental health to deteriorate and in some cases, also suffer physical harm. To support the campaign, Trading Standards Officers will be out and about in the Horsham district during National Consumer Week promoting the key campaign messages and giving out ‘no cold caller’ door stickers that residents can display to deter doorstep callers. The stickers are also available from libraries

Hamptons launches annual ‘Draw a Christmas Cracker’ competition Hamptons International’s Horsham branch is launching its annual Christmas drawing competition aimed at local nursery and primary school children. The “Draw a Christmas Cracker” competition is open to primary school children and nursery school children can take part in the “Decorate the Christmas Cracker” competition. Children from the local nursery schools are encouraged to participate in the competition by colouring in the Christmas Cracker, while older primary school children can use their creative skills to draw and decorate a cracker of their own design. All competition entries will be displayed in the local Hamptons International branch window from early December through to the New Year. The winners who will be announced before the end of the school term, will be awarded with a deluxe art kit. Two hundred pounds in prize money will be donated to

the winning school. The closing date for entries will be the November 21. The final judging process will be down to visitors to the Hamptons International branch who between November 24 to December 5, will be invited to vote for their favourite drawing. Hamptons International would like to encourage members of the public to come to their local office to view the works and vote for the one they like best. Jodie Pickles, Manager at Horsham Hamptons International comments: “The Hamptons ‘Christmas Drawing Competition’ is a popular event and we are delighted to be holding it again this year. Working with the local community is important to us. This is the first year we have been involved with Farlington Prep school, and we are pleased to be partnering with them.” For more information, visit your local branch.

Are you happy at work? With the Government emphasising how important our happiness is, this month our Business expert Janette Whitney comments on recent research into employee satisfaction

he most important factor in employee happiness is not money but friendship, reveals research by Chiumento, a multi-disciplinary HR consultancy. 73% of British workers cite good relation-

ships with colleagues as the key reason they enjoy their job, while only 48% cite ﬁnancial reward. Despite frequent reports of dissatisfaction with work at this time of year, it is not all doom and gloom according to the Chiumento Happiness Index. One quarter of employees describe themselves as very happy at work, while only one in ﬁve describe themselves as unhappy. But the unhappier an employee is, the more likely they will see money, or a perceived lack of it,

to be an underlying cause of their unhappiness. Key Findings: • Women are happier at work than men: 82% of women claim to be happy in their jobs compared with 78% of men. Despite, or maybe because of the lack of women at the top of organisations, women feel more job satisfaction than men. • At 85%, those aged 55+ are the happiest employees, possibly because they have reached the pin-

nacle of their careers. Employees in their 40’s are the least happy of all age groups. • Happiness declines the longer people stay with an organisation. 82% of people who have been with their current employer for 2 years or less are happy. This drops to 76% of those who have been with their employer for 10 years or more, as the ‘honeymoon period’ ends. • Overall, lack of communication from the top is cited by just under half of all respondents as being the main cause of unhappiness in the workplace, but this rises to 71% of very unhappy employees. • Small businesses make employees happier: 86% of employees who work for organisations with between 20 and 100 staff feel happy compared with 78% of employees who work in organisations with over 1000 staff.

benjamin coren Review – Tomfoolery

Abracadabra Beans on Toast were the magic words at the popular children’s entertainer’s show at The Capitol last week. The hour long show was perfect to entertain the children over half term packed with magic, music and fun and games for all the audience. Tom’s show is presented as a game show with audiences from each performance competing for the most beans on their toast for the title of the ‘Best Audience in the World’. Each segment was engaging and enjoyable, there was a particularly fun quiz game at the end in which

one lucky member of the audience could have (accidentally) won Tom’s Mini. A big group sing along of the Hokey Cokey saw all the children in the audience taking part in the dance with Tom, and I could see from their faces a few of the children were starstruck by meeting Mr Foolery. Tom was also out in the foyer before and after the show greeting fans and posing in photos, adding a little more to the entire visit to the theatre. Tom’s show is energetic and full of non-stop laughs and he is clearly enjoying the performance as much as everyone in the audience. Abracadabra Beans on Toast is a great fun show, that oﬀers something for children and parents alike. I don’t think I’m alone in saying Tom put a smile on my face from start to ﬁnish.

Very few comedians could turn the worst year of their life into a resounding success, but fresh from winning the most successful ever series of Big Brother by a landslide, comedy king Jim Davidson has done exactly that. ‘No Further Action’ will see Jim tell the story of his arrest and the nightmare 12 months that followed, the clearing of his name and winning the heart of the nation all over again as a Big Brother champion. Jim will be doing all this in the only way he knows how, by entertaining people, something he’s been doing to great acclaim for nearly 40 years. It promises to be the most outrageous, hilarious and insightful show Jim has ever performed, but most of all it will be the truth. On announcing the new show, Jim said: “It was an interesting time, I had a rough ride for a while, but it’s great to be back on stage doing what I love, and the best way of dealing with a nightmare is to talk about it. “I always seem to ﬁnd the funny side of things, even this. For a ﬁnale, along came Big Brother. Wait until you hear the inside stories on that.” No stranger to the limelight, having dominated prime time television comedy for over a decade, Jim is not only one of the country’s best established comics, but one of the most popular stand-up comedians of all time. The show will be at the Capitol, Horsham, on Monday, November 24 and Tuesday, November 25. Performances are at 7.30pm and tickets

are £23.50 or £20 for concessions. Tickets can be booked by calling the Box Oﬃce on 01403 750220 or by visiting www.thecapitolhorsham. com.

Wellbeing team raise men’s health awareness

he Horsham District Wellbeing team are running a series of events to support the ‘Movember’ campaign, and change the face of men’s health through providing knowledge to aid prevention and early detection for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health issues. It has been highlighted that men are at higher risk of developing disease, by not openly discussing their health, reluctance in taking action because they don’t feel ill, engaging in higher risk activities which threaten their health, and due to the stigmas around certain health problems. The statistics are alarming and should not be ignored. More men need to be aware and take control of their health, as men’s life expectancy is 4 years less than women, 1 in 4 will develop a mental health related illness each year, men have a 14% higher risk of developing cancer than women and a 37% chance of dying from it, more than two thirds or 63% of men in the UK are obese, and deaths from potentially avoidable causes is accountable for approximately 24% of all

UK deaths. We along with the ‘Movember’ campaign want to get men to take control of their health by knowing their family history and any increased risk factors, being aware of their healthy body weight, staying active and aiming for recommended exercise guidelines, developing strategies to manage stress, taking action early, staying mentally healthy, not smoking and sticking to recommended healthy moderate drinking levels, getting enough good sleep, eating a healthy balanced diet, and being safe in the sun. The Horsham District Wellbeing team offer a number of men specific interventions as below: Men’s Health Clinic, every Monday 6-9pm at Piries Bar, Piries Place, Horsham. Men get the opportunity to get a FREE MOT giving an insight into their current health status from weight/body mass index, muscle mass, body fat percentage, bone mass, metabolism, hydration levels and activity levels. Clients can be set goals and have follow up meetings with the advisor. ‘It’s All About Men’ FREE 12 week

health and fitness course with nutritional advice and guidance, as well as a low impact exercise session. Clients will be set goals each week for nutrition and exercise, and will make small sustainable changes towards their final goal.

Views of Horsham’s growth nik butler @loudmouthman

You have witnessed the crane, you have experienced the nighttime detours, and you have observed the new bridge built across the A24. With the continually growing westward expansion of Horsham the malign tumour of development is squeezing its way through the westward gap between Horsham, Christ’s Hospital and Southwater, and with it the various paths and routes between those spaces. Interestingly one able hobbyist equipped with a remotely operated drone and video camera has captured the images of this development and we begin to get the feel for the future of Horsham’s growth. Hint: it wont involve pedestrians, bikes, or anything that does not run on four wheels. Two roundabouts, one bridge, and a clear divide between Horsham west and the Wickhurst lane developments and none of it suggests room for the able bodied or cycling enthused. With one bridge over the carriage way it begs the question how will the traffic flow in the event that it is closed off due to an incident? Indeed as I look to more of the

entrances and exits to our town and district it becomes obvious that those capable of making decisions

and drawing up plans make no allowance for anything other than the automobile. Searching inwards I see no signs of any improvement to those policies. Looking over the Bishopric development and the subsequent carriage way alterations around the west end I ﬁnd fewer routes and options to progress which do not put me at the mercy of cars or trucks. Pedestrians must wait, cyclists must stop cycling, everything must make way for the carriageways and cars and trucks and buses and through it all nothing exists that makes you want to walk into town, to walk around the neighborhoods, or to cycle across the town and into the countryside. Not that I hold much hope in consultation regarding Bishopric’s development resulting in a feeling that any opinions were heard. If the yellow brick road is any indication then all we are left with is a nod to the audience and then deliveries made according to extenuating circumstances. That Horsham is growing and changing is not the cause of my concerns but that we are ignoring those value in the rural and countryside communities. That a pleasant walk, a comfortable bike ride, and a community feeling, are only successful if those villages are connected by more than privilege of car ownership.

Media commentary on interest rates and when they may rise is causing high levels of confusion for home buyers and owners, according to estate agency Fox & Sons. Local Mortgage Services Consultant Gabrielle Nassiry who operates from the Horsham Fox & Sons branch, says there are currently high levels of competition amongst mortgage lenders which is actually driving interest rates on mortgages down at the current time. Equally, and following recent data from the Money Advice Service that more than half of homeowners are not prepared for an interest rate rise, Fox & Sons is urging anyone on a standard variable rate to come and discuss their options, especially as there are some very good, long-term ﬁxed rates currently available. “The mortgage market is highly competitive at the current time meaning home buyers and those looking to remortgage can really beneﬁt from reviewing their mortgage arrangements,” says Gabrielle “The anticipated base rate rise, which is looking likely for next year, tends to dominate the headlines, and hides the fact that many mortgage lenders have actually reduced their rates at the present time. Savvy home buyers would do well to consider what’s available and not get bogged down by confusing messages in the press.” If you would like to arrange a meeting with Fox & Sons’s Mortgage Services Consultant, contact the branch on 01403 217417 or email:horsham@sequencehome.co.uk.

Atlantis swimmers star again Saturday November 1 - South League Premier Division 2 Horsham 3 - 1 London Edwardians Hockey Martin Read – Sports Reporter Matt Hough firing in a short corner goal this term. Another short corner attempt went wide but after some stout defending, the back line fighting for every ball, epitomised by Freddie Campbell clearing a dangerous Edwardian threat, Horsham went into the break 2-1 up. Then, a Mark Humphreys penalty flick sealed Horsham’s well deserved 3-1 victory. Horsham Team Manager Al Campbell told

Vincent back in the groove Table Tennis Dave Smith – Sports Editor Horsham A started oﬀ their Crawley/Horsham League Premier Division with a 7-2 win over a weakened Horsham Spinners B side. Chris Vincent showed that he’s back into the groove with a maximum return on the night. Vincent and Dennis Hayden both beat Erik van Mol in their next game against Horsham Blades A to gain two useful points against one of the division’s leading teams and the week after they went down 5-4 to Horsham Spinners A, Vincent again being the leading man with

two victories. Foresters D proved a bridge too far at the back end of the month as the team went down 6-3, only Vincent really hitting form as he gained another fighting double. The two Horsham Premier Division teams played out the first of their two derbies within the season and the A team emerged victorious 6-3 courtesy of braces from Vincent, Harry Collins and Steve Hoad braces. Holly Holder however for the B team showed more evidence of her growing maturity in the Premiership orbit by beating Steve Hoad in five sets and indeed to date Holly has only won two of her seven, fiveset encounters so perhaps her wins

ratio is not quite reflecting the progress she has made. Overall though Horsham B are continuing to find the going tough and lie second from bottom, only Horsham Spinners B lying below them. In Division 2 Horsham C sit comfortably mid-table after their first five matches. Annie Brotherston led the team’s way with three wins in their 5-5 draw with Crawley Sports D. Mark Clover would also have been pleased to add two on that night but less enamoured on his next two outings against Foresters H and Crawley Sports C where he drew blanks in two 7-3 defeats.

Before this game London Edwardians were unbeaten one place above Horsham, but despite going a goal down from a back handed strike after 20 minutes, almost back to full strength Horsham responded strongly against their tall, vigorous opponents, posting a highly creditable win. Soon, equalising from a bold John Burroughs hit, their ﬁrst real shot in the D, Horsham promptly went further ahead courtesy of a Matt Hough short corner, his sixth

the District Post: “This was the best three points we’ve scored this season – to come back to win 3-1 after being a goal down was special. We toughed it out very well.” Captain Duncan Howarth added: “Edwardians thrashed Barnes 9-3 earlier in the season with nine different players getting onto the score sheet, so we’re delighted to have ended their unbeaten run.” Horsham leapfrog into third, but it’s tough at the top, first and second clubs Banbury and Henley having each won all of their five games (Banbury trouncing basement club Barnes, yet to notch up a point, 10-1). Tomorrow (Saturday) Horsham visit sixth placed Tulse Hill & Dulwich who have won three out of five, including despatching Marlow 2-1 last week.

Will Palmer targets Winter Championship

Tom Johnson scoring his try through a crowd of players

Saturday November 1 - London 3 South East Horsham 1st XV 18 – 11 Bromley

Jamie Gibbs scoring under the posts

Rugby Richard Ordidge – HRUFC Horsham held on in this tense, nail biting top of the table encounter to defeat Bromley 18-11 and end their unbeaten run. As a result of a serious injury to winger Lee Taylor after 56 minutes, who suffered a dislocated hip and fractured pelvis, a delay of twenty minutes followed before the game was moved to an adjoining pitch. Horsham started quickly and Gibbs thought he had scored but the ball was knocked forward in the tackle. The referee brought the play back to an earlier penalty offence and on 4 minutes Will Bell kicked Horsham into the lead. Horsham were dominating in the scrum and driving Bromley backwards and on 19 minutes, Gibbs pounced on a loose pass by a Bromley player to round his man to score under the posts. The try was converted by Will Bell to take Horsham into a 10-0 lead. Nick Bell was yellow carded for hands in the ruck and Tom Beaumont for Bromley slotted the penalty from in front of the posts to reduce the deficit. On the stroke of half time Beaumont kicked another penalty and Horsham went into the break 10-6 up. The game was in the balance and the breakdown was ferociously contested between two evenly matched sides. Horsham were awarded another scrum penalty but Will Bell’s long range attempt fell just short, then when Tuhakaraina made a

break followed by a multi phase attack, Johnson crossed the line for a try on 48 minutes which was unconverted. From a quick line out Taylor was clattered from behind by a legitimate tackle that however caused his serious injury necessitating the lengthy stop in play. After 68 minutes Horsham stole a Bromley line out, and following an offence by the visitors the kicking duties were handed over to Johnson who kicked a penalty from 35 yards to take the Green and Whites into what looked to be a comfortable 18-6 lead. Bromley had other ideas and following a penalty to the corner they put together an excellent catch and drive from the line out to send George Scott over in the corner. The try was unconverted and the deficit reduced to 18 -11. The visitors continued to press in search of a converted try to level the scores but Horsham held out to the final whistle.

Horsham coach Nick Stocker reflected on what he saw as a poor performance by his side, “We should have had three or four more tries which would have reflected our domination. We were snatching at the ball and gave away too many penalties. They had a good tackling defence but for most of the game we neutralised their driving maul. We wish Lee Taylor well and a speedy recovery. His injury is disappointing for him as he has only just returned following concussion. I thought Will Bell was one of the few players to do himself justice and Liam Brady had a good game on his first start”. Horsham’s next league game is at home to Grasshoppers from Isleworth in Middlesex in the second round of the Senior Vase on November 8 with kick off at 2.00pm. Horsham Team: Talbot, Stone, Brady, Grover, Jonny Whiting, Thompson, N Bell (Pirt 40) (Smith 60) Tredgett, Rush, Johnson, Gibbs, Tuhakaraina, Ordidge, Taylor (James Whiting 56) W Bell.

Will Palmer will contest the BRDC F4 Winter Championship with HHC Motorsport, the team with which he made a strong impression during this year’s main season. In his first full season in singleseaters, 17-year-old Palmer scored two victories at Snetterton in June and five further podiums at Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Silverstone and Donington Park. The strength of these performances was recognised when Palmer was inducted, in August, into the BRDC Rising Stars programme. Palmer - son of MSV Chief Executive Jonathan Palmer and brother to newly-crowned GP2 Champion Jolyon - has raced with HHC since 2012, first in Ginetta Juniors, then making his single-seater debut in the BRDC F4 Winter Championship last year. He scored a victory in just his fifth F4 race. “I’m really looking forward to

contesting the Winter Series with HHC Motorsport,” Palmer commented. “They have done an exceptional job this year, which I am sure will continue into the Winter Series, so I am delighted to be staying with them. As ever in BRDC F4, it will be very competitive, but with the team’s support and all that I have learnt this year, we are in a very strong position to challenge for the title.” HHC Motorsport’s Charlie Kemp commented: “We’re delighted that Will is staying with us for the Winter Championship. He had an excellent first season in single-seaters, and his performance at Snetterton in June in particular was outstanding. He was quick at every circuit we visited and I have no doubt that he will be a title contender for the Winter Championship.” The BRDC F4 Winter Championship, consisting of eight races, commences at Snetterton on 8-9 November, with the second round at Brands Hatch on 22-23 November.

Pulborough drop anchor Saturday November 1 - London 3 South East Pulborough 29 - 23 Gillingham Anchorians Rugby Martin Read – Sports Reporter Pulborough returned to winning ways after leading comfortably in the first half, easing off after the break and then coming home victorious. Although remaining eighth Borough have now put five points between them and their closest chaser. The returning Will Truscott set Borough off with an early try. Then full back Frazer Oliphant-Hope’s trusty boot notched up useful penalty points to provide a seemingly comfortable 21-9 half time advantage, increased by a further kick just after the break. But, Gillingham responded strongly with a try – unconverted – before crossing the line again, this time kicked over to

threaten a Borough defeat. Urged on by a large vocal crowd buoyed by a convivial vice presidents’ lunch Borough missed a penalty against the wind and then eschewed another kicking opportunity to go for the line, a tactic rewarded when a driving maul enabled Charlie Denman to grab a push over try. This was unconverted but Borough held on to secure a much needed win. Captain Seth Wise telling The District Post: “A win, but we gave away silly penalties keeping them in the game, making it closer than it should have been.” Head Coach Clayton Saunders agreed, saying: “It was great to win but we need to tighten up on our on-field decision making.” After a week’s rest Borough return on 15th November with a trip to fifth placed Old Dunstonians, winners of their last two games. Meanwhile Borough seconds – the Pirates – maintained their push for promotion with a resounding win against Chichester.

Horsham Sparrows

Under 12 Boys – A convincing win against Kirdford saw the team climb to joint league leaders after 7 games played. Under 13 boys - In a very close game Lingfield took the lead 15 minutes into the first half with a great strike. Sparrows then went further behind from another goal early in the second half. A goal from Alfie W after some good play pulled one back but then unfortunately they had a goal disallowed for offside. Lingfield then put the pressure on for the last few minutes to secure the win. Man of the Match for Sparrows was Oliver S who had an outstanding game. Under 15 Boys – A 3-3 draw away to Partridge green was enough for the team to pick up a point on the road. Under 18 Boys – A great home win v Barnham Trojans saw the team progress to the next round of the cup. Final score Horsham Sparrows 8 Barnham 1. Under 13 Girls – A tough away game saw the girls lose to top of the table Crawley Wasps. A consolation goal from Alice was the first conceded by wasps in 7 games. Under 14 girls – Tough conditions for both teams in a lunchtime KO. Sparrows started brightly and played some positive football creating some good openings but found themselves a goal down. Sparrows responded immediately with a goal from Ruby E with a left footed strike into the top corner. After going behind again, Sparrows rallied

and equalised, again it was Ruby E that found the back of the net. In a 2nd half which was quite even both teams pressed for a winner but it ﬁnished honours even. Under 15 Girls – A great 4-2 home win for Horsham Sparrows against Hawks Youth with goals from Fliss L (2), Katie B and Fiona M. Under 18 Girls – A tough away game against Crystal Place saw the team lose to extremely tough opposition. 3 goals for Sparrows weren’t enough to change the result though.

Roﬀey Robins Athletic U15 2 – 2 Lower Beeding U15

Lower Beeding made the livelier start to this U15 Div. C match and went a goal up when Kane Minter scored within 5 minutes of the kickoﬀ. But this early setback seemed to spur Robins into action. They soon began to dominate and were rewarded before half time when Joe Lamberty struck home a shot to the bottom right hand corner. After the break, it was the Lower Beeding defence who made an early mistake. Jack Roe took full advantage and put Robins ahead. However, Kane Minter scored his second to level the scores and deny Robins their third league win of the season.

Sunday November 2 - FA Vase – First Round Horsham YMCA 3 Bedfont Sports 1 Football Tom Norris – Football Reporter Horsham YMCA progressed into the Second Round of the FA Vase with a 3-1 win over Combined Counties Premier League side Bedfont Sports on Sunday afternoon. With tenants Horsham’s FA Trophy tie taking precedence at Gorings Mead on Saturday afternoon, Peter Buckland’s side were forced to play their First Round fixture a day later. But the unusual arrangements failed to affect proceedings. Two goals from Luke Gedling and Liam Hunter in as many first half minutes handed the hosts an early lead, and although the Eagles halved the deficit just before the break, substitute Martin Smith eased the pressure with a third for the home side midway through the second half. YM manager Peter Buckland commented: “It was a good game. They were a good, young side and I knew that we were going to have to be on our game. In the end I thought that we made quite hard work of it. We weren’t at our one

Luke Gedling scored the first goal for YM hundred percent best today. We kept shutting off for five or ten minute spells and then coming back into it, but I think it was the right result. I’m delighted to be in the next round and we’ll see where it takes us. My philosophy on the competition is simple really. If you look at the Sussex Senior Cup, you’re playing against Ryman Premier League teams and even Conference sides, and the FA Cup is even worse, so there is a shelf life with those. “But this cup hasn’t. It is Step 5 all the way through. Therefore, it is very realistic to dream of pro-

gressing a long way, and what a day out it could be if we do. That’s a bit premature at the moment because we’ve only just won in the ﬁrst round, I know, but I deﬁnitely love this competition and that is why I was so animated on the touchline.” YM Team: Lockwood, D.

Roffey climbed to third in the table with a 2 - 1 victory at Mile Oak. The hosts took the lead but Roffey’s response was positive and the equaliser came just before half time, Aaron Pyzer was tripped just outside the box and Callum Nash’s excellent free kick hit the net. Declan Rapley slotted home for Roffey early in the second half and despite Mile Oak putting pressure on Roffey held out for a good win.

Martin Read - Sports Reporter

Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter The financial results of this year’s festival have now been finalised and Horsham Cricket Club are delighted to announce that their share is just under £10,000 – a very healthy profit resulting from much hard work by the club committee, ground, office and bar staff and a veritable army of volunteers. Horsham President Hugh Thomas told the District Post: “It was one of the very best festivals with consistently high attendances and I’m so pleased that after the doubts over whether it would proceed because

that the county loves coming to Horsham because the club always provides a friendly welcome and the date of next year’s festival and the fixtures will soon be published. Horsham are very keen to host reigning county champions Yorkshire for the four day game – the only one of the 18 first class counties never to appear at Cricketfield Road. In next season’s Royal London one day cup Sussex will feature with Essex, Glamorgan, Hampshire, Kent, Lancashire, Middlesex, Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire. Glamorgan have not visited Horsham for many years – Field Marshall Montgomery was on the ground the last time they came – but perhaps a local derby will bring in another bumper crowd. Full details of the 2015 festival fixtures will appear in the District Post as soon as the information is released by the England & Wales Cricket Board.

In a first half that both sides had a number of chances Heath managed to convert one of theirs and went in with a narrow 1-0 lead. The goal on 31 minutes came from a cross from the left by Merv Bhujun that Jamal Sultan met, took a touch before firing into the net from the

edge of the area. An error immediately after the goal by Heath keeper Fisher should have given the home side an equaliser but Julian Boniface’s eﬀort lacked power and Fisher was able to recover and keep the ball out to send Heath in at the break in the lead. Heath had the better of the play and the chances in the second half, Dan Attwater crashed a McDermott corner against the crossbar and Jack McNab headed just wide of the post. However with 6 minutes left Chichester’s Boniface made up for his earlier miss by striking a low shot through a crowd of players to bring the teams level. Five minutes into extra time in a near carbon copy of his ﬁrst goal, except it was a Max Love cross this time, Sultan struck again giving

Heath back the narrow lead. Now in the ascendancy Heath took control and dominated the remainder of extra time and fully deserved their third goal when debutant Max Love got on the end of a through pass from Rob Godfrey, ran away from the defence and coolly slotted past the advancing keeper with style. Manager Steve Painter was delighted with the result and with the performance of the young players drafted into the squad but Heath face a diﬃcult task to reach the semi-ﬁnal with an away trip to either Haywards Heath or Eastbourne Town facing the Bears. Heath Team: Fisher, Attwater (Butler 108) Robinson, Carruthers, Flack, McDermott, Godfrey, Sultan, Waddingham, McNab (Legrange 70) Bhujun (Love 80).

It also means that Horsham Cricket Club can continue to invest in top quality playing and practice facilities. It was great to hear the fulsome praise of the umpires and players about the wicket. Our groundsman Jim Askew won the Sussex Cricket League best pitch award and is now in the frame for the county outground prize to be announced later this month. Scarborough usually win that but we’d love to deny them this year!” Sussex CEO Zac Toumazi and Chairman Jim May have told us
