Liberty Property Trust is bringing forward plans for Land North of Horsham – a mixed-use and sustainable development providing around 2,500 private and affordable homes supported by jobs, schools, amenities and the necessary infrastructure and utilities. Our top priority will be to make North of Horsham a great place to live, work and play. We are longterm investors and we will have a stake in the future success of the new community. From building design and landscaping, to public art and high quality sports facilities, we go the extra mile and, where we can, choose to go above and beyond the normal planning requirements.

North of Horsham has been included in the emerging Horsham District Planning Framework (HDPF) – the Council’s strategic vision for the area.

Map with public exhibition venue shown in red

The HDPF was reviewed by the Government’s Planning Inspector at the end of last year and he endorsed the Council’s decision to include North of Horsham, acknowledging it as a sustainable location for new homes, jobs, social and community facilities.

The Council is currently consulting on final housing numbers to meet the Planning Inspector’s requirements, before adopting the HDPF later this year.

The deep fat fryer and extractor unit in the kitchen of Deep Blue Fish and Chips caught ﬁre requiring crews from Horsham, Crawley and Billingshurst to attend the scene. Rescue workers had diﬃculty attending the scene and brining in equipment due to the street being closed and blocked by sports cars brought in for the annual Italian themed event. No injuries were reported and

none of the nearby sports cars were damaged. Repair work is currently underway and a statement on the Deep Blue Fish and Chip Shop website states the shop is expected to be closed for a week following the incident. The building was quickly evacuated and a cordon was set up around the alley shortly after the incident at around 1.40pm.

Horsham police have donated £150 to The Butterfly Project. Based in Horsham, the Butterfly Project supports adults with learning difficulties, autism and other disabilities to engage in work and community activities, to help them develop work and personal skills. The donation comes from the Police Property Act Fund (PPAF), made

up of monies received by the police from property conﬁscated by order of the court and then sold. PC Darren Worsfold said: "We are always happy to support local organisations such as the Butterﬂy Project and I am happy in the knowledge that this money will be spent on developing new initiatives."

The Southwater Parish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group is asking Southwater residents and businesses to keep an eye on their letterboxes, as the Parish Survey is on its way! It needs as many people as possible to complete this survey as it will help draft the Southwater Parish Neighbourhood Plan. The right for communities to prepare Neighbourhood Plans was established through the Localism Act 2011, and gives the power to the whole community to develop a shared vision for the future. Southwater Parish Neighbourhood Plan will form part of the Horsham District Planning Framework; this legal status will carry a lot of weight when considering local issues. The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group has been working on the

survey for some weeks now, using ideas that residents suggested at various events held over the past few months. The survey will go to every home in the parish, and includes a section for young people too. Businesses will receive a business version, so that issues aﬀecting the local economy can also be taken into account. A Steering Group representative said: “Please take the time to ﬁll it in, as we will be using the answers to prepare our draft Plan, which will include suggestions for policies that can be included to protect our community. As an added incentive, those who respond will have the chance to win a prize – details will be on the survey” If you have any questions, please email us on nplan@southwater.net, or phone on 01403 733202.

Salsa dancers perform St John’s pupils engage with John Lewis Flashmobs around Horsham

Shoppers in Horsham Town Centre were shocked on Saturday, March 28, when music started playing loudly and out of nowhere, 20 dancers appeared and performed a Rueda de Casino style salsa dance. Rueda as it is known is a style that originated in Cuba and is danced in pairs in a circle, with a caller shouting out the names of the moves to dance. The effect is a group of seemingly random dancers all in synch. Jon Riley who runs Horsham Salsa said it is a cross between Latin Street dancing and a Kayleigh. Salsa dancers from Horsham and Crawley performed three flashmobs around Horsham. The first in Market Square, the second on the Fo-

rum and the third outside the Olive Branch. They were taking part in a world record attempt for the largest number of Flashmobs to take place at the same time on the same day. Clubs throughout the world were invited to perform a ﬂashmob at 4pm on the same day. Over 200 clubs have taken part in 60 countries spanning the globe (for more info on the locations go to http://ﬂashmob. dileque.si/). Last year’s event led to the club being invited to Flashmob at Gatwick Airport as part of the BBC Children In Need appeal with the club appearing on the TV program the following week.

Simons Construction have completed a hoarding competition with St John’s Primary School in Horsham. In January, members of the contractor‘s project team behind the new Waitrose and John Lewis stores visited St John‘s Primary School to talk to the children about the project and delivered a presentation on site safety. The children were asked to design a poster of how they believed the stores would look at the end of the project. This week, the 6 runners up and 1 overall winner were picked. The winner, Leah Orme (Year 4) was chosen because the team felt that “so much thought had gone into the design and it reﬂected perfectly what the store would look like on completion - It was so good that Kevin asked Leah if she had looked at the plans!” Each was given an easter egg provided by the Waitrose store team. The drawings are available to view on the site hoardings, with copies also being put up in the Waitrose store. Community engagement is a key priority for Simons Group, who work nationally. Recently, the project team in Horsham hosted their second visit from the Considerate Constructor’s Scheme and were awarded an overall score of 44/50, receiving 10/10 for their eﬀorts surrounding health and safety.

Words, words everywhere Storrington care home invites local at Billingshurst School community for Easter celebration Why use one word when over a 1,000 will do? The children of Billingshurst Primary School became master wordsmiths this week and demonstrated the power of words by raising over £400 in the ‘Word in a Word’ competition. The fundraiser, sponsored by the Village Tweet, set pupils the challenge of finding as many words as possible using the letters from the school’s name ‘Billingshurst Primary School’. T h e c omp e ti tion results surprised everyone with the winner from Key Stage 2, Emily-Jane Harman, finding 1079 words. The winner from Key Stage 1 was Keira Oxley with 354 words. Prizes were also awarded for the best anagram ‘my school is brilliant’, most money raised, longest and most unusual words. Edie Golding from Year 2 raised an outstanding £125 for 188 words and discovered the 12 letter show-stopping word scholarships. The most

unusual words uncovered were imbroglio and glycosuria, both worthy prize-winning entries, causing some to reach for their dictionaries. The competition is part of the school’s Year of Writing which has already produced some outstanding work from the children, inspired by a number of exciting projects; from story competitions and an author visit to a guest appearance from a knight in shining armour. M r s Claire Wilson, English Leader, comments: “We are incredibly proud of the time and effort the children put into the ‘Word in a Word’ competition and at the diverse range and sheer volume of words discovered. The challenge has been a fantastic way of encouraging the children to develop their vocabulary, whilst working alongside parents and grandparents to really stretch their linguistic knowledge and encourage some healthy competition.”

val returned for its ninth year!

Oliver Wilks

Easter’s Horsham Piazza Italia 9 has run its course with thousands of people flocking to Horsham to celebrate Italian culture in the heart of West Sussex. Organised by Horsham District Council, Horsham Piazza Italia has now run for nine years straight. On Good Friday the rain limited the number of Ducati led bikes to just 120 but what they lacked in quantity was made up for in quality. Many extremely rare and stunning looking bikes passed through the Carfax on their way to the Bishopric display area before just fewer than 100 Ferraris arrived to an enthusiastic welcome from an audience in un-dampened high spirits. Good Friday was also host to the La Vida fashion show in Piries Place which also featured Beales beauty demonstrations, the models having been beautified by Beauty Secrets of East Street. On Easter Saturday the weather determinedly maintained a grey shadow over town, it did not seem to affect the public. This may have been in response to the arrival of the classic Minis from ItalianJob.com who transported us back to the sixties and seventies with their groovy parade. New additions to Piazza Saturday were the Horsham Urban Children and Family Centres Children’s activity marquee on the Forum and the Children’s Trust Supercar volunteers and the ‘race ready team’ from Broadbridge Heath Garage. Saturday featured the likes of Tony Strange’s characters and his

team of brilliant entertainers, Mr Pavarotti, Dan the Hat and many operatic voices contributing to the atmosphere. A new weekend long commentary from Horsham’s very own, in-comparably eccentric Tim Fiﬁeld, kept visitors informed, engaged and amused. Easter Monday was kicked oﬀ by a fantastic parade, organised by Lamborghini Sevenoaks, featuring 11 top of the range Lamborghinis, strutting powerfully through Carfax making their way to the Forum.A new Abarth display conjured up by local dealer Horsham Car Centre, joined by scooters and stylish older Fiat 500s in the Bishopric. Horsham District Coun-

cil Town Centre and Event Manager Garry Mortimer-Cook said, “Whilst Horsham District Council is proud to lead the organisation of this now regionally signiﬁcant event, this is without doubt a tribute to the massive team of fantastic vehicle organisers, commercial sponsors and voluntary and business supporters that the event is at all possible – We thank each and every one of them for enabling us to make this happen for Horsham. We are already planning for the tenth Piazza Italia to be a very special experience. Piazza Italia X will take place on 25 – 28 March 2016 so put it in your diary now so you don’t miss it!”

Bishop of London visits Christ’s Hospital School Beware of fly tippers Following Christ’s Hospital pupil Onyinye Udokporo’s invitation to Dean’s Court during the Christmas holiday to take tea with the Bishop of London, Onyinye reciprocated on Thursday, March 26. The Bishop, Dr Richard Chartres, KCVO, FSA was invited to spend an informal day at Christ’s Hospital, where he met the Head Master, John Franklin and was involved in a Sixth Form discussion group. Onyinye, 16, gave an account of the Bishop of London’s visit: “I began my day by taking the Bishop on a tour of the School. I started by showing him the Chapel, looking particularly at the magnificent Brangwyn murals. We then went to the Theatre where it was filled with our junior pupils in action as they performed in their drama lesson. Before heading to lunch, we looked at

the paintings in the library and were able to spot Bishop Ridley – the Bishop of London in 1552 who preached the need for Christ’s Hospital. It was nice that we were able to make such an important and historic connection. We then had lunch and watched ‘Band Parade’, a lunchtime tradition when the pupils march into lunch to the accompaniment of the School Band. After lunch, the Bishop was kind enough to hold a Sixth Form discussion group when he spoke about his work in China and his theological journey over the last 40 years. My favourite part of the day was the tour. I was honoured to be given the privilege of showing the Bishop the School. I would like to thank everyone who made this very special day a success; it is something I will certainly never forget.”

Two men have recently been seen with a flatbed truck in the Lancing and Henfield areas, looking for properties that have recently been refurbished where waste such as household items and rubble is left in the garden. They then offer the homeowner the chance to pay to have the waste removed and subsequently flytip the items. It is believed that they may live in the Storrington area. PC John Burt from the Horsham Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "Please be aware that you, the homeowner, could be liable for the clean up if the waste is traced back to you. Please do not accept any offers of removal on the doorstep.

Gardening: The garden holds the key our future

Guy Deakins Gardening

Some interesting things have been happening in the garden world over the past few months, which believe it or not may have massive consequences for humanity. You may or may not know, but we have the soil to thank for Penicillin. Many of you think it was blue bread that produces our most famous antibiotic, but the microbe is more common in the soil. Now researchers from Northeastern University and NovoBiotic Pharmaceuticals have released the results of a major study into soil sourced antibiotics which found a new and hitherto unknown microbe that may just be a major life-saving discovery of immense proportions. According to tests this microbe is capable of killing both MRSA and tuberculosis – both of which are widely known to be resistant to almost our entire current batch of remedies. In fact, as more and more bacterium are becoming resistant this could be a key to our future survival. Further studies are needed, including tests on humans – to make sure it doesn’t kill us – but hopefully somewhere in the next ten years the soil will have proved to be a savior to millions yet again. On a slightly down note, The Lancet – the world famous medical journal – published recently a study into common pesticides which we use every day in domestic gardens. This was duly reported in some of the national papers such as the Daily

Telegraph, but has since disappeared from view. According to the assessment made by the International Agency for Research on Cancer it is now thought that the weed-killer Glyphosate is probably a carcinogen linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. If you are not aware of what glyphosate is, then read on. The most basic explanation is that it is the most widely used weed-killer in the domestic and agricultural markets, advertised under many brand names –most famously as ‘Roundup’. It is a spray-on weed-killer which is advertised as killing the whole plant not just the leaves. It can be bought from most retailers that deal with plants or gardening. However, do not panic! There are procedures you can take to prevent contamination. Wear protective clothing – you can buy a disposable suit from most hardware shops. Disposable gloves are a must, as is a mask with a suitable ﬁlter to prevent any drift entering your mouth. (If you are required to spray professionally, this should have been laid out in your PA1 and PA6 training, but is worth remembering anyway). Do not allow children and pets onto the treated area. Last but not least, do not dispose of the unspent chemical into the water supply or drains as it is highly toxic to aquatic life. If this chemical is proved to be a cause for concern, then the consequences are quite astounding. The councils happily spray glyphosate on our streets to suppress weeds regularly throughout summer, but of most concern is the farmer who needs to suppress weeds in order to feed us on ever tightening budgets. Without this weed-killer our food prices will soar. Let’s hope this is resolved quickly.

Refresh your gardening skills this Spring and start a new career! Do you enjoy gardening but feel you don’t know enough about it? Are you thinking about a change of career and would like to work outdoors with flowers, shrubs, trees, vegetables or fruit? How about a year’s part-time training in a beautiful garden? The “Work and Retrain As a Gardener Scheme” (or WRAGS) provides men and women of all ages with the opportunity to work with supervision for two days a week for a year in a carefully sourced garden. Fees are currently £125 for garden owners and £400 for trainees (payable over 3 months) and the garden owner pays a non-taxable training allowance of £5 per hour direct to the trainee. Garden owners benefit from the help they receive from enthusiastic and committed trainees who range from novices to students on RHS or other horticultural courses. They in turn gain practical experience and confidence to enhance their own gardening and/or go on to various careers in horticulture. A placement opportunity at the

extraordinary Knepp Castle near West Grinstead has just come available and is a fabulous location for two lucky trainees with its glorious walled garden. Do enquire, however, as placements come up suddenly for various reasons, new gardens join and there are more opportunities available if trainees are prepared to travel further afield. The scheme is just one project offered by the UK charity, the WFGA, (the Women's Farm and Garden Association) which was established in 1899 and set up the first Women’s Land Army in 1912. WFGA members can also benefit from useful workshops and workdays, informative newsletters, garden tours, funding for further training, discounts on gardening accessories and seeds, a recruitment network and local members’ gatherings. For more information about WFGA membership/WRAGS see www.wfga.org.uk, call the WFGA on 01285 658 339 or email local coordinator Liddywfga@gmail.com.

Make a Donation at Swan Walk Recycle your Easter egg Shopping Centre and beat the record boxes at Sainsbury’s

If you are planning to whip your wardrobe into shape this season and have a really good clear out whilst supporting a local charity then why note support the 2015 Cancer Research UK Donation Station at Swan Walk. After huge success in previous years, Swan Walk Shopping Centre in Horsham launch their 2015 Donation Station next Thursday, April 16. “Swan Walk’s loyal customers have raised over £100,000 for Cancer Research UK over recent years,” said Gill Buchanan, Centre Manager. “After a huge £17,000 result in 2014 we are hoping to add at least this much again this year.

“Donating could not be easier and for many of our regular customers this has become an annual activity. Customers can collect a bag from the pick up point in the centre, fill it up at home and pop it back to the drop off point when they are next shopping in Horsham. What better reason could there be to have a good clear out at home to make way for your new summer purchases. Please take the time to check out your wardrobes, cupboards and shelves and help us to make 2015 another successful year. This really is the ultimate recycling challenge for us all.” Cancer Research UK will be delighted to receive good quality

clothes, shoes, accessories, books, homewares, DVD’s and CD’s. All donations will be used in the first instance to stock the two Cancer Research UK stores in Horsham’s East Street and West Street so this really is a town centre community event. Each bag can be worth up to £30.00 to the charity and donators can also sign up for Gift Aid. Victoria Godfrey, Manager at the Cancer Research UK’s East Street store, who has worked with the centre every year to deliver this event, said: “We’ve had tremendous support from Swan Walk and the people of Horsham in the past and we are looking forward to the 2015 challenge.”

Following the success of last year’s trial, all customers can now recycle their old Easter egg packaging and boxes at Sainsbury’s Horsham from April 3 to April 14. The specially designed Easter recycling facility allows customers to recycle the elements of Easter egg packaging – including plastic, card and paper. The scheme makes it even easier to recycle the packaging from eggs, taking in materials like rigid plastic which not all local kerbside collections accept. The recycling facilities will be available at 400 stores across supermarkets in the UK. The Christmas card recycling scheme back in January had managed to collect 88 tonnes of cards which amounted to a donation of £12,276 to the Forest Stewardship Council, helping to protect the world’s forests. Sainsbury’s Head of Sustainability, Engineering, Energy & Environment Paul Crewe said: “We’re proud to offer the recycling facility to our customers and colleagues. Recycling is an important part of Sainsbury’s environmental commitment and the Christmas card and Easter egg recycling schemes have been really popular in the past, it’s a great way of reminding people to recycle.”

How sweet it is to hear classic Motown In 1959, Berry Gordy Jnr had a dream, and with a loan of $800 he started Motown records in Detroit. In the 60s the production and songwriting talents of Holland, Dozier and Holland dominated the Detriot sound, the sound of young America, and they both penned and produced numerous hits for The Four Tops, and many more artists of the day. T a m l a M o t o w n was also the home of The Temptations, who, along with The Four Tops, have two of the longest and distinguished career’s to date in popular music, going back to 1954 when the ‘Tops’ performed at a high school graduation party, and until fairly recently still consisted of the original four members. The hits continued throughout the 60s, into the 70s, the 80s, and even the

90s as Motown became a genre of music all of its own, and had people dancing ‘All Night Long’ all over the world. On Tuesday, May 19, that’s exactly what’s in store at The Hawth – Motown’s Greatest Hits - How Sweet It Is – will have you dancing to the classic’s of Motown Legends The Four Tops, The Temptations, S m o k e y Robinson, M a r v i n Gaye, Lionel Richie, The Isley Brothers, The Jackson’s, Stevie Wonder, Edwin Starr and many more. Motown’s Greatest Hits - How Sweet It Is both celebrates and recreates all the wonderful vibes and music that originated in Detroit in the late 1950s, and takes you on a musical journey through the golden Tamla Motown days of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

This Show is an evening crammed full of all your Motown favourite’s, Reach Out I’ll Be There, Walk Away Renee, I Cant Help Myself, Going Loco in Acapulco, My Girl, Ain't Too Proud To Beg, Papa Was A Rolling Stone, and Get Ready, to name but a few from the ‘Tops and Temps’, plus, I heard It Through The Grapevine, Sir Duke, The Tracks Of My Tears, Dancing On The Ceiling, This Old Heart Of Mine and I Want You Back etc. And don’t forget all that fancy footwork, our ﬁve fantastic vocalists, Michael, Martell, Delroy, Jason and Jordan, are also trained dancers. The choreography of this show is something else and will leave you breathless! – A two hour spectacle of non stop hits, every one a classic. Motown’s Greatest Hits - How Sweet It Is is 100% LIVE, and backed and supported by their own superb musicians – The Peter Brent Orchestra, a fantastic powerhouse band, and all under the musical direction of Mr Peter Brent. The show takes place on Tuesday, May 19, at The Hawth, Crawley. Tickets cost £23.50 (Discounts: £21.50) and are available from The Hawth Box Oﬃce on 01293 553636 or online at www.hawth.co.uk.

Farlington ﬂaunts a top fashion show jane williams

Farlington School Fashion Show review

Alice in Wonderland was the theme for 18-year-old Ellie Burnell-Price’s Fashion Show on Wednesday, March 18, 2015. The Trina Mawer Hall had been miraculously transformed into a catwalk worthy of Paris, Milan or London. The catwalk ran the length of the hall, lit by a gantry of spotlights and speakers provided by Concert Tech. Models – fabulous in flats, poised in platforms or bopping in bare feet - appeared as if by magic, accompanied by appropriately themed music created into one continuous track by top London DJ, Jez Pereira. A white-rabbit was seen on the catwalk, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum appeared, as did some amazingly mad hats! Sold-out weeks ago, this show did not disappoint - it blew away fashion-seasoned professionals and new-fashionistas alike. The models were drawn from the staff and students of Farlington; from one of the youngest students, three year old Isla Turner, to some of the oldest students in the Upper Sixth. (Teachers’ ages were protected under the State Secrets Act.) Isla’s poise, confidence and enjoyment was matched by her older peers but I must admit she did steal the show for me! I know Farlington educates for confidence and this clearly begins from the very start in our Nursery class. Each segment of the show was sponsored by particular designers and local companies: One Forty in Cranleigh, Joanna Zara Millinery, Molly Coddle Childrenswear, Jenny Collicott London, Lizzie Lock Millinery, It’s Not Me It’s You London,

Zoozoo2, Type on Top and couture designer, Hiroshi Goto. All of these designers can be found online or at Horsham market. The hats, dresses, bags and entire outfits were all hankered after by girls and adults alike. I am sure I was not alone in wishing there was an adult version of many of the Molly Coddle dresses for the very young girls, particularly the footprints in the sand design, which made me think of holidays past and future. Fashion designs created by the Farlington girls, under the guidance of Mrs Cooper and Mrs Brown, included some stunningly original pieces, again modelled with elegance by students from the Senior School. The parade of perfectly cute tie-dye t-shirts supplied by Farlington’s current Young Enterprise company, Piper Jayne, was modelled by girls from the Prep School who showed superb grace and self-assurance. The second half began with some more impressive and delightful dancing by yet more talented girls. The show then went from the sublime to the...teachers. School staff modelled their own design of T-shirt or tie: swaggers got bigger, pouts got poutier and cheers got louder as more and more staff surprises appeared. The final couture section of the show was quite simply stunning. The dresses sourced from London College of Fashion student Goto loaned many gorgeous dresses from his collection. The grace, sophistication and splendour of the sensational dresses were matched word for word by the young models; it was a truly breath-taking conclusion to the event. Louise Higson, Headmistress, said: “This was a truly incredible

event for an adult in the fashion or PR industry to have pulled oﬀ, let alone an 18-year-old student, but then Ellie is hardly your average student and Farlington is hardly your average school. This event was part of Ellie’s Extended Project Qualiﬁcation, which is an addition to A Levels that top universities are increasingly looking for from prospective students. Many students will choose to write an academic essay on a topic that interests them, but highly-graded EPQs by past Farlington students have included organising a successful Horse Show and designing a chapel for the 21st Century. Who knows what next year’s talented girls will produce?”

How to walk your way to a longer life A new study has found that walking contributes towards longer life expectancy; one of many reasons to get active with the Out & About Club. The unique fitness programme created by Pied A Terre Adventures is set in and around the South Downs countryside and is perfect for people who want to exercise and socialise whilst enjoying the great outdoors. Recent studies have proven that a daily walk boosts mental and physical wellbeing and prolongs life. Research also suggests that urbanisation is considered a potential threat to mental health and wellbeing, which is why new Out & About club member Deborah Wiggin (55) regularly makes the journey from South London to the West Sussex countryside for her exercise. Deborah who joined the club in mid-January said: “The Out & About Club is such a refreshing alternative to the slog of going to the gym. The South Downs scenery is absolutely breath-taking and gives you an instant buzz and the instructors really know their stuff. Sessions are tailored to suit all abilities and you come away feeling like you have had a good workout. As much as I love my London life, I crave the countryside and the Out & About Club really satisfies that

need. It is fantastic value, but you can also pay as you go and work it around your lifestyle.” New members can take advantage of the Out & About Club Spring offer and get three months free when they join for a year.

Recent studies have proven that a daily walk boosts mental and physical wellbeing and prolongs life Deborah added: “I find myself really looking forward to the weekend and meeting the Out & About Club. It provides the perfect tonic to a busy week in the city. It is such fantastic value for the expertise and local knowledge that the instructors have to share. I think what I love most is the historical, geological and geographic insight to the West Sussex countryside that you learn from the guides along the way.” The programme comprises a variety of guided walks, photography workshops and fitness sessions set in a variety of locations throughout

Sussex and Surrey. Kirstie Betts, Company Director at Pied A Terre Adventures said: “Our fantastic club has got off to a great start, we have a brilliant group dynamic and our current members are all so friendly and enthusiastic. The photography workshops have received excellent feedback and the guided walks and fitness classes are the perfect way to explore and feel fitter whilst being surrounded by inspiring landscapes. We feel the club offers a wonderful personal alternative to the gym, it’s very sociable and our members comment on how energised and happier they feel after one of our activities. We go with the flow of the session and often stop for a refreshment at a country pub or tea room.” A free taster session is being held for interested new members to join a three hour guided walk at Cissbury Ring from 9am on Saturday, April 26. Club membership costs £25 per month for access to all sessions, alternatively individual sessions can be purchased starting at £7 per activity. Please register interest prior to attending by emailing: mytime@patadventures.com and for more information check out the website: www.patadventures. com or facebook page: The Out and About Club.

10 point checklist for new landlords on the rules and regulations of letting Kathy Taylor kathytaylor@leaders.co.uk

Many people are turning to the property market for a second income by becoming ‘part time’ landlords. However, a significant number do not know or comply with the myriad legal obligations involved in lettings. According to a recent study by insurance group LV=, seven per cent of UK adults rent out a property to supplement their main income and nearly half (49 per cent) manage their rental property themselves without adequate protection to ensure they comply with the many legal requirements. According to LV= almost 500,000 landlords have not had their property checked by a gas safety engineer in the last 12 months, risking prosecutions and fines of up to £20,000. Carole Charge, Leaders’ Technical & Compliance Director says: “The income from letting a property is certainly appealing and buy-to-let is a great investment if it is done properly. However, there are 100+ rules and regulations that a property has to pass to be let legally and landlords must ensure they adhere to all of them to avoid large fines and even custodial sentences in extreme cases. “Our 10 point checklist gives those new to letting an overview of what is required to fulfil your obligations to your tenants and protect your interests as a landlord.” 1. Gas, fire, furnishing and electrical safety requirements It is the landlord’s responsibility to

ensure all gas appliances, electrical equipment, furniture and soft furnishings are maintained in a safe condition and that they all comply with the appropriate regulations; the tenant must also be provided with the correct current documentation. 2. Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) All properties being marketed as available to let are required to have an Energy Performance Assessment carried out and a certificate produced. 3. Tenant vetting Every tenant should go through a thorough vetting process; this should include a detailed assessment of the tenant’s ability to afford the rent, credit and ID checks, proof of residency and references from employers and former landlords. Stringent checks should also be carried out on guarantors if required. 4. Inventory and schedule of condition A professional inventory and schedule of condition at the start of the tenancy is essential to ensure that you have an accurate record should you need to make a claim against the deposit for damage. 5. Tenancy agreement Tenancy agreements protect your interests as a landlord and must comply with residential letting legislation. They must be easy to understand, be written in plain English and contain no unfair terms or conditions. 6. Correct buildings and contents insurance Most ordinary home insurance products do not cover rented properties so it is important to have the appropriate building and contents insurance for letting a property. Without the correct insurance you may not be able to claim and

could face serious ﬁnancial losses. 7. Dealing with late rent or rent arrears You will need a robust system in place to chase rental payments to ensure you avoid late payments and act accordingly if they do occur. You must serve the correct legal notice at the correct time if your tenant falls into arrears with their rent. 8. Tenancy deposits Deposits must be protected in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme. You need to provide your tenant with the details within 30 days of the start of the tenancy. 9. Regular property visits Regular and suitably documented visits to the property are vital, as well as

ensuring someone is on call to deal with any maintenance issues, emergencies and the many calls that tenants make about the property. 10. Taxation on lettings income Any proﬁt made from letting a property is subject to UK income tax, whether the landlord lives in the UK or not, and must be reported in a Self-Assessment Tax Return. Becoming a landlord can seem overwhelming, but a professional agent can help with all the above. Instructing an experienced agent can be a wise move to ensure all legal obligations are met and is the best way to ensure your interests are protected. For advice you can trust please contact 01403 217585 – www.leaders.co.uk.

Lines & James China challenge It was a recent thank you for Lines and James’ continuing support of Chestnut Tree House that has led to mother and daughter duo signing up to another challenge. This time Pat James and Abie Sweatman, directors of family run lettings agents, Lines and James, are venturing further aﬁeld for possibly their biggest challenge yet - trekking along The Great Wall of China. Chestnut Tree House is the only Children's Hospice in Sussex caring for child with life limiting illness and providing much needed support to their parents. Currently Chestnut cares for over 300 children which costs in excess of £6000 a day, there are many more children that the hospice would love to be able to reach but with less than 8% of funding from the government, this marvellous charity relies heavily on donations and support from local people and busi-

nesses A recent visit to Chestnut Tree House provided Pat and Abie a real insight just how vital the fundraising is to keep this wonderful home going. The facilities and focus on ensuring child have as much fun as possible is immense. With is a real homely atmosphere and it is clear to see why this special house creates precious memories for child and their parents. The trek takes place 10th-18th October with 5 consecutive days spent trekking the wonder itself. Pat and Abie have set a fundraising target of £6000 and alongside the rest of the challengers; the aim is to raise enough money to pay for all care services at the Hospice for the full nine days they are away. Donation can be made via their just giving page https://www.justgiving. com/PatandAbiesChinaChallenge/.

Horsham, Roﬀey & Billingshurst eager for new season Photo by John Lines

hockey

Martin Read – Sports Reporter

Horsham Ladies 1st XI 1 - 2 Bristol Firebrands

Horsham's Will Beer and Roﬀey's Mike Norris in last season’s derby

For the first time our district has three teams in the Sussex Premier League – Horsham, Roffey and Billingshurst, saying much about the strength of our local cricket there are only seven other teams in the top flight in the whole of Sussex. The new season is full of interest with mouth watering local derbies in prospect. Can Horsham get back on the silverware trail? Will Roffey maintain the form that saw them storm home as undisputed league champions in 2014? And, how will Billingshurst fare in their first season in the upper echelon after back to back promotions? NatWest CricketForce working parties have been in action preparing our three top grounds and everyone is raring to go. Horsham have signed Sussex 2nd XI left arm medium pacer George Garton and have other irons in the fire, including a possible overseas player. Captain Sam Attfield, looking forward to his second season in charge says: “Last year we showed glimpses of what we can do – we

were the only team to do the double over the champions! But we were a bit up and down, losing games that we should have won. If we can play together consistently as a team then we could do well.” Head Groundsman Jim Askew confirms the wickets are looking good and there will be a club practice day on Saturday April 11 ahead of friendlies against Worthing and Eastbourne on the April 18 and 25. The serious action starts on Sunday 26 with a trip to Surrey against Normandy in the ECB National Club Championships before a home T20 cup tie against St James’s (May 2) and the first league game with a trip to Eastbourne (May 9). Roffey skipper Josh Fleming, still in the running to make late signings, told the District Post: “Eyes will be on us to see if we can do it again! We’re testing ourselves with some strong friendlies – on April 11 we go to Hartley, they landed a hat trick of Kent League titles from 2011. On April 19 we entertain Ifield and on April 26 we go to Havant, runners up in the Southern Premier League - we’re expecting a proper game after we knocked them out of the National KO Cup last year. Our T20 campaign starts on May 2 at Brighton & Hove ahead of our first league game, at home, to regular champions Preston Nomads who we beat at Fulking to win the league last summer. Bring it on!” Drew Smallwood has been bea-

vering away on the ground, saying: “I’ve been able to get some serious rolling done and am pleased with the way things have shaped up.” There is an air of great anticipation at Billingshurst where Jim Burroughs tells us: “When I became Chairman 23 years ago I had two ambitions – to move to a new ground and, eventually, to get into the Premier League. We’ve done both. I never really expected we would but everyone has worked extremely hard to make it happen. All players contributed last season, game by game. We’ve made a big jump and we’re looking to consolidate our position. We’re under no illusions, but rest assured we’ll be giving it our very best shot.” Captain Ben Williams is returning from cricket in Australia, meanwhile club stalwart Chris Shambrook says: “We’ve got a proper baptism of fire with a visit to Camberley in the National Championships on April 26 and have Nomads in the T20 Cup on May 2, then our league programme opens at aspiring East Grinstead the following Saturday. We’re preparing with friendlies at Havant on April 19, Three Bridges at Jubilee Fields on the 25, before Ifield’s visit on Sunday May 3.

Athletics Julia Johnson - Horsham Joggers The Sussex Road Relays took place at Christ’s Hospital School last weekend and Horsham Joggers were once again in the list of medal winners. With a strong wind testing the strength of the runners over the 2.1 mile course, all of the HJ teams put

in stunning performances against some of the best runners in the county. The HJ women’s over 40 team, consisting of Janine Littler, Ali Gormley and Val Purnell, ran their combined 6.3 miles in 42 mins. 34 secs, putting them comfortably in the medals table, each receiving a coveted Sussex AA bronze medal. The senior ladies team, Carol-

Anne Davies-Jones, Anna Titchmarsh and Lucinda Potten, finished in a very creditable 11th place (out of 22) with an overall time of 41:11. The men’s over 50 A team of Steve Wigmore, Dean Angell and Pete O'Connell took a convincing first place and a gold medal each in 35:08 - one minute seventeen seconds ahead of second place Crawley AC. Not only did team captain Pete O'Connell run the equal third fastest over 50 lap of the day in an impressive 11.28, but this was his 24th Sussex AA Gold medal. The men’s over 50 B team put in a solid performance finishing 7th (out of 16) with Tony Johnson, Chris Wigby, and Paul Adams clocking 38:45. In the Senior Men’s race of 6 legs the HJ A-team got off to a fantastic start with Neil Boniface running a blistering first leg in 9:58, followed by Dean Heneghan, Matthew Anstee-Brown, Raff Vitale, Phil Liberman and Tiernan Cotter, all earning 8th place (out of 13) in a total time of 69:29. Tony Frankland was the only runner in the HJ Senior Men’s B team finishing his leg in 13.40.

YM beat league leaders Littlehampton Saturday April 4 - Sussex County League Div. 1 Horsham YMCA 2 - 1 Littlehampton Town Football Tom Norris - Football Reporter An Anthony Hibbert brace helped Horsham YMCA defeat Division 1 leaders Littlehampton Town 2-1 in an enthralling encounter at Gorings Mead on Saturday. The YM midfielder thumped home an unstoppable twenty-five yard opener midway through the first half, before netting an equally exquisite second eight minutes from time, just moments after Golds’ captain Joe Shelley had drawn the sides’ level. The three points marked YM’s fourth win on the bounce and sixth game unbeaten, whilst also avenging narrow league and cup defeats to Town earlier in the campaign, and denting their opponents’ title chasing aspirations. A delighted YM manager Peter Buckland said: “I’m absolutely over the moon. It was a great performance and one of our best of the

season. Today’s result puts everything into perspective. I’ve just said to the players that I wish this was ten games into the season because we’d win the league by a country mile. The more I think about it, some of the injuries and the constant changing of shape, formation and personnel have had a bigger impact than I ever thought it had. During March and for this game as well, we’ve had continuity in the squad and it just shows that if you can keep the players together and play more or less the same eleven, tinkering things a bit with changes as each game unfolds, we’re as good as anybody in the league. I’ve said that all along and their manager again has just said it to us. But we are where we are and it’s too late now even for a miracle. But I’ve also just said to the players that if we can keep this group together for next season, with two or three tweakings, we won’t make the same mistakes again.” YM Team: Fox, Carden, Crane, Doherty, Evans, Hibbert, Gedling, D. Sullivan (J. Brown 89), D. Brown, Schaaf (Hyett 84), N. Sullivan. Unused Subs: William.

The game started brightly with

both teams enjoying good possession, but it was Roffey who took the lead with a fine strike from Callum Nash from just inside the box. Eastbourne then dropped to ten men when their right back was given his marching orders for a very late tackle. Roffey capitalised quickly when Ed Goacher put Liam Ruz through to rifle the ball into the roof of the net. Eastbourne regrouped at half time and came back strongly scor-

ing two goals in the opening five minutes of the second half. This then set up a tense second period of the match, with the ten men of Eastbourne matching the eleven of Roffey. As the game wore on the tireless Eastbourne side began to run out of steam, and Callum Nash set up Liam Ruz to run in on goal to make it 3 - 2. Roffey now meet Hassocks in the semi-final.

Horsham U14 boys team turn a corner Junior Hockey Dave Smith - Sports Editor The recent 3 - 1 win against East Grinstead, with goals from Owen Casey, Myles Edwards and Angus Hall, marked a real milestone for the U14 Boys of Horsham Hockey Club. They had never beaten East Grinstead and at the end of 2014 were languishing in last place in the Mercian League after heavy defeats. But since January, the boys have managed away wins at Havant and Purley to climb the league table. Team manager, Alistair Cardwell, said "Our boys seemed to expect to lose earlier in the season, but they have developed as players and as a team. They now expect to compete and score goals. It is great to see." The U14 team is for boys in school years 8 and 9 and, this season, Horsham has competed in the England Hockey Cup as well as the Mercian League.

Saturday April 4 - Sussex County League Div. 1 Chichester City 2 - 1 Broadbridge Heath Football Dave Smith - Sports Editor Broadbridge Heath have now gone five games without a win following this defeat at Chichester City and their hopes of a top ten finish have taken a knock. Heath were looking comfortable with a one nil lead, but the second half introduction of City youngster Jimmy Wild, turned the contest on its head. Steve Painter had to make a number of changes to the starting lineup which has been a regular occurrence this season. One change being goalkeeper Eliott Flack which meant brothers Martin and Eliott in the starting line up for the first time. Clear cut chances were few and far between in a scrappy first period when neither side were able to control the game. Heath’s Ollie Moore was restricted to three long range efforts and Frangou should have put City into the lead but the City striker volleyed just wide and both teams went in at the break without scoring. Fifteen minutes after the re-start Heath right back Brendan Sebuliba fired a powerful shot which City keeper Ender palmed away for a

corner. Mark Bevan stepped up to take the corner and delivered the perfect near post cross for Andrade to head powerfully home. Chichester’s answer to Heath’s second half dominance was to introduce substitute Wild from the bench and the tall seventeen year old changed the game. In the 67th

Clear cut chances were few and far between in a scrappy first period minute Wild drove at the Heath defence and found Frangou in space who found the back of the net from just inside the box. Five minutes later Chichester took the lead from a free-kick that saw Wild rise above the Heath defence to convert the cross with a bullet header that gave keeper Flack no chance. It was Heath who had the final chance of the match and should have rescued a late draw. With five minutes remaining, a quickly taken corner saw a Sultan cross headed over the bar by Balfour. Heath Team: E. Flack, Sebuliba, M. Flack, Balfour, Bevan (Clark 72), Mobsby, Moore, Godfrey, Sultan, Andrade, Robinson (Legrange 5).

Gutless performance puts Horsham on the brink Saturday April 4 - Ryman League Division One South Walton & Hersham 3 - 0 Horsham Football Dave Smith - Sports Editor As I stated a few weeks ago in the District Post there was two matches in the run in that Horsham had little chance of getting anything from, Whytleafe at home and Faversham Town away, the others were winnable, and to have any hope of survival the Hornets had to win them. Predictably they lost to Whytleafe but this match against Walton & Hersham, who lie just above the relegation zone, was a must win. It was bad enough that Horsham lost it, and lost it by three clear goals at that, but the fact they put in a performance that lacked any spirit, desire or urgency was and is totally unacceptable. The team has looked relegation candidates since the first few games of the season and the changes in management and playing staff that have occurred over the woeful season have failed to arrest the club’s freefall. Fifty two different players have pulled on a Hornets shirt in a league match this season in either a start-

ing or a substitute role. Yes, changes were needed to the lacklustre playing staff when Gary Charman went but the current management duo seem uncertain as to what is the best starting eleven. Given the amount of comings and goings the team has become a bunch of mercenaries who apart from one or two appear to take little pride in, or offer any effort towards, the club. As for the match; Horsham have not lost at Walton's Stompond Lane ground since 2006 and Walton & Hersham are hardly a great side but Horsham’s dire performance, when effort and desire was called for, broke the undefeated run at the stadium and made the home side look a league above their standard. It took just ten minutes for the hosts to go ahead and in doing so set the tone for what was to be an error strewn Hornets afternoon. Shawn Lyle was fouled by Joe Obersteller and from the resulting free kick Tarome Hemmings hit the ball straight through the three man wall and past the motionless Gareth Williams in goal. It should have been two a minute later when Richie Byrne, who had a nightmare of a match, messed up completely but the Horsham defender was reprieved when Lyle hit

his shot over the bar. The rest of the half painted a picture of what the match was all about, two poor sides struggling to play football, and the referee’s whistle brought some relief to the small crowd and hopefully would allow Horsham to regroup and come out fighting. But instead of coming out a different side it was much of the same from Horsham with an early second half error from Jack Hope nearly gifting the home side a second. It did not take long for Walton to double their lead however and again it was an error, again from Byrne, that allowed Daly to score past Williams to put Walton & Hersham two up and effectively seal the win. Horsham were put out of their misery six minutes from time when Lyle was gifted a goal by the hapless Hornets defence. It could have been four before the final whistle as the now despondent group of Horsham players saw Chendlik’s effort ruled out for offside. Fellow relegation threatened teams Ramsgate, East Grinstead and Hastings had done what teams under threat of relegation do; put up a fight which gained three points each and in doing so left Horsham with a near impossible task of preventing relegation.

Monday April 6 - Sussex County League Div 1 Dorking 2 - 1 Horsham YMCA Football Tom Norris - Football Reporter Horsham YMCA missed the chance to move up to fifth in Division 1 on Monday, as their six game unbeaten run came to a disappointing end with a 2-1 defeat away at new league leaders Dorking Wanderers. Hosts’ forward Kev Terry netted his eighth goal in four games to give Dorking the lead on twenty-one minutes, but YM responded almost immediately thanks to a trademark twenty-five yard Luke Gedling wonder strike. The sides were only level for nine minutes however, as Luke Pidgeon’s free header restored the home side’s advantage, and that’s how things stayed following a lifeless second forty-five in front of a bumper crowd at West Humble. With Loxwood and Newhaven both

falling to unexpected defeats, Peter Buckland’s side could have leapfrogged both of their rivals into fifth spot on goal difference with a win, but a lacklustre display meant that wasn’t to be the case. Meanwhile, Dorking now sit four points clear at the top of the table after second placed Littlehampton Town drew away at East Preston, and although the Golds do still have a game in hand over Marc White’s side, Wanderers will be crowned champions if they win their remaining three games. YM manager Peter Buckland commented: “We just didn’t turn up today. We saved one of our worst performances of the season for away to top of the league. “I tried shaking them out of their slumber before the game, with it being an early morning kick off, but to win any game of football at any level, you’ve got to have eleven players on their game. For the last ten minutes we were the better side. We started getting forward a bit more and

showing the energy that we normally do and could cheekily have sneaked a draw. That would have been harsh on Dorking Wanderers though I’ve got to say, because the best team on the day won, and we’ve just got to pick ourselves up now for Saturday.” YM Team: Lockwood, Carden, O’Carroll (Gathern 85), Doherty, Evans, Gedling, Dugdale, D. Sullivan (Hyett 81), Hibbert, D. Brown, N. Sullivan. Unused Subs: Crane.

In a side that boasted seven former youth team players Heath went into this game without three first choice midfielders so Harry Balfour stepped up from the back and Brendan Sebuliba took up his fourth different position since rejoining the Bears, alongside top scorer Ollie Moore. It took only three minutes for Heath to get in front when Moore was fouled on the edge of the area and Mark Bevan stepped up to smash the ball over the wall into the top corner. Heath continued to press the visitors and minutes later Bevan let fly again but Greaves in the visitors goal tipped it over. Andrade and Sebuliba both went close to adding to the score but the hard working Crawley Down team were having the greater possession without ever worrying Heath keeper Elliot Flack unduly. The second half started with the visitors continuing to chase the equaliser and Tom Gannon fired just

wide for Down while Holmes glanced a corner just wide for Heath. On the hour and with the next goal looking all important Holmes got behind the Down defence and went to ground under pressure. Referee Harding gave the penalty, much to the disgust of the Down defenders, and Moore made no mistake from the spot.

The victory brings to an end Heath’s run of five games without a win Two minutes into stoppage time Andrade was put in by Martyn Flack, only to be wrestled to the ground. The Heath striker picked himself up and blasted home the spot kick to bring the proceedings to an end. The victory brings to an end Heath’s run of five games without a win and they now sit eighth in Division One and will be targeting still being there at the end of the season. Heath Team: Flack E, Sultan, Bevan (Grieg) Attwater, Flack M, Balfour, Moore, Sebuliba, Andrade, Holmes, Robinson (Legrange).

Di Paola in at Horsham as Storey and Cant depart Dave Smith – Sports Editor

The Horsham FC board have moved quickly in appointing a replacement for the management duo of Anthony Storey and Cliff Cant who were relieved of their duties on Bank Holiday Monday after the match against Corinthian-Casuals in which the Hornets grabbed a rare league victory. Thirty-four-year-old Dom Di Paola was announced as manager on Tuesday evening following a brief meeting with club officials. Di Paola resigned as manager of Hastings United in January after spending just fourteen matches at the helm of Horsham’s fellow Ryman League strugglers in a period that saw only four wins from one of the pre-seasons favourites for promotion. Prior to joining Hastings Di Paola managed East Preston to the Sussex County League championship in 2013/14. During the same season the club won the John O'Hara League Cup, finished runners-up in the RUR Cup and reached the last sixteen of the FA Vase while under Photos by John Lines

of the season, results and performances over the past few months have been very poor and the club now sits on the brink of relegation at the foot of the Ryman League South table. The management duo virtually changed the playing squad completely from the one that operated under Charman’s reign but the huge influx of players failed to arrest the clubs freefall down the divisions. Speaking on behalf of the board, Vice Chairman and CEO John Lines said “The Board appreciates the huge effort in time and energy both Anthony and Cliff put in and I don’t think either of them realised just what was involved when they first took over. Unfortunately they did not get the committed response from their players that was needed. We need to start preparing for next season now and this decision was made with that in mind” Dom Di Paola’s first game in charge, away to second placed Faversham Town tomorrow Saturday April 11, could not be much harder. However, a decent performance and perhaps even a point in Kent would quickly place the new boss firmly in the hearts of the long suffering Hornets fans.

Anthony Storey and Cliﬀ Cant have been replaced at Horsham FC

Too little too late for Anthony Storey and Cliff Cant’s final match Monday April 6 - Ryman League Division One South Horsham 2 - 1 Corinthian-Casuals Football Dave Smith - Sports Editor After the appalling display at Walton and Hersham Anthony Storey and Cliff Cant made four changes to the starting line-up in what it turns out was the duo’s last match in charge. Lewis Hamilton, Richie Welch, Ehis Izokun and Storey himself came in for Jack Hope, Richie Byrne, George Branford and Bailo Camara. The changes did, after the unacceptability of the previous match, produce a better performance and more importantly three points against mid table Corinthian-Casuals who have nothing left to play for. The first half produced a number of half chances for both sides, but little else. The goalless score-line that greeted the referee’s half time whistle at least however gave some hope to the Easter Monday crowd, as did a Hornets performance that had fewer errors and slightly more effort than of late. After eleven minutes of the restart George Branford replaced Gregg Berry and immediately contributed

to the opening goal. Branford put terrific goal.

his control in what was a dominant season for East Preston. Di Paulo has been a regular visitor to Gorings Mead since leaving Hastings and will be in no doubt about the extent of the job that lies before him. Horsham FC Chairman Kevin Borrett said on the club’s web site "Dom impressed us immensely when we first interviewed him for the manager's position in January but we felt that the start made by Anthony Storey and Cliff Cant earned them the opportunity to try and take us forward. Sadly it didn't work out as we had hoped and so we have given Dom a mandate to start preparing and planning for next season which, unless we are reprieved or the subject of a league reorganisation, is expected to be in the Sussex County League.” Di Paola’s experience and achievements in the Sussex County League could prove invaluable to the Hornets as their current Ryman League status, as Kevin Borrett recognises, looks almost certain to end in relegation to the Sussex County for next season. Despite a mini uplift in fortunes when Storey and Cant took over in early January after club stalwart Gary Charman had failed to gain any momentum in the first half
