Thief buys champagne after conning Horsham pensioner phil dennett News Editor

Security cameras captured a man buying champagne after tricking a Horsham pensioner into handing over her credit card.

The 78-year-old woman has lost about £7,500 after the man persuaded her to withdraw thousands of pounds from her bank account and to hand over the cash, her credit card and bank details to a courier who would visit her.

Security cameras at Sainsbury's in Regents Place, Euston, London, show the man taking his shopping - including a bottle of Moet & Chandon Champagne - to the till area of the supermarket and then using the Horsham woman's card to pay for it.

The 78-year-old victim was contacted at home by a man who claimed to be a police officer and said thieves were trying to with-

Police are keen to speak to anyone who knows the man in the CCTV or where he could be.

Detective Constable Rees Hopcraft said: "In total the victim has lost about £7,500.

"We do not know if we are talking about one offender or a gang.

They could be from Sussex but as the card was used in Euston they clearly have links to London as well.

"Crimes of this nature are despicable in that these criminals deliberately target the most vulnerable members of society and the elderly.

"I would urge anyone who recognises this man to contact us."

Anyone with any information should email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 858 of 08/05, call 101 or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

A family completing the elephant trail after next weekend’s Elephantastic charity fund-raiser launch can win a trip to Kenya.

The trail of elaborate and beautifully decorated model elephants will be unveiled on July 26 from 12.30 pm at the Carfax in Horsham, though it will extend to other towns and villages.

Maps of two trails in the town centre and one around the beautiful West Sussex countryside will be available from participating shops for families to buy for £1 and get navigating throughout the summer.

Each completed trail form will be entered into a prize draw, to win a family holiday trip to an elephant orphanage in Nairobi, among a selection of other prizes including televisions, dining treats and jewellery.

John LeRossignol, of Horsham Rotary Club, said: “The countdown is on and there is already a real buzz in the town leading up to the elephant unveiling. We have been astounded by the level of interest and support in the project and now we can’t wait to start.”

Actor Brian Blessed will be at the launch showing his support for the Born Free Foundation, a main beneficiary of the project, alongside well know children’s entertainer Dave Benson Phillips.

The theme ‘Loving Life, in celebration of these unique animals, is aimed at raising awareness around the important preservation of this endangered species and to bring in funds to support the build of Born Free Foundation’s new elephant sanctuary in Tuscany, the first in Europe.

The elephants will each be placed

condition

in position after the launch, creating two safari trails in the town centre and one in the surrounding countryside.

A mini trail in neighbouring Billingshurst will also be available as well as those in Horsham until August 31.

Horsham Rotary Club created the charity fundraising project, with help from local traders’ organisation Horsham Unlimited, the district council and Billingshurst-based marketing agency PMW Communications.

With 128 elephant- owning companies now participating and 64 local charities alongside Born Free Foundation set to benefit from the proceeds, the project has more than tripled in

size compared to the similar Giraffe project in Horsham in 2013.

Vic Reeves, Peter Andre, Freddy Flintoff and renowned wildlife artist Pollyanna Pickering are just some of the big names to show their support so far.

Many local artists including Lindsay Wright, Juliette Goddard and Zoe Keable are emerging as front runners for the autumn auction, when the pieces of elephant art will go under the hammer.

Thousands of visitors to Horsham’s annual Sparks in the Park event on Sunday were the first to see a few examples from the 185-strong Elephantastic herds.

Workers at Vision Express in Horsham raised funds during the first Macular Week.

The week highlighted the importance of research funding for the sight condition Macular Degeneration, which might eventually lead to a cure.

Stella Black, regional support and development manager for the Macular Society in the South East, joined the Vision Express team to rally support, as the optical retailer’s stores nationwide dedicated the week to supporting their charity partner.

The team raised money on Saturday by inviting the public to take part in their in-store “Tea for MD.” The Macular Society also created its own pair of giant heart-shaped sunglasses to mark the week, which toured the UK and visited a number of Vision Express shops.

Horsham Store Manager Emma Beckford, said: “Our thanks go to Stella for coming into store and helping with our fundraising efforts. It’s a great morale boost for the team to do something meaningful for such a good cause, and having her here really spurred us on - every single penny we raise will count, and we thank the local community for digging deep port us.” to sup-

Extreme concern for missing man Grandad’s spirit in the sky for daring Steve Tesco bag at Upper Beeding, thought to belong to Michael, a full scale search of the area took place involving nearly 30 members of Sussex Search and Rescue team with two teams of lowland rescue dogs and police and West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service officers.

Michael was reported missing a fortnight ago on July 1, but was last definitely seen in Bramber village by a friend on June 27

The desperate search to find a missing man took an ominous turn this week.

Police said they were extremely concerned for the welfare of 75-year-old Michael Mauger, from Bramber, after a bag he was thought to be carrying was found on a bank of the River Adur near his caravan home.

Michael was reported missing a fortnight ago on July 1, but was

last definitely seen in Bramber village by a friend on June 27. A man fitting his description was seen at 6am in Bostal Road, Steyning on July 2.

He was described as white, 5' 9" and of medium build with short white hair and a ruddy complexion. It is not known what he was last seen wearing, but police said he usually wore a floppy sun hat.

After the discovery of a blue

Detective Constable Graham Milner, of Sussex Police, said earlier this week: "We are concerned about Michael because he suffers with mental health issues and depression. Please get in contact if you have any information which may help us find him."

At the time of the District Post going to press there had been no further news of the whereabouts of Michael.

Police said that if anyone had any information about his whereabouts they should email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101 quoting serial 914 of 01/07.

They said that if Michael appeared to be in danger or needed urgent medical attention people should call 999 immediately

George Brown, 93, bikes for charity At a sprightly 93 George Brown is hitting the saddle on Sunday for charity.

The keen biker from Partridge Green is in “The Big Road Ride” for St Catherines’s Hospice at Crawley.

Riders can register on the day from 9am for a 10am start.

The ride starts and finishes at Imberhorne School in East Grinstead, an eight-minute cycle ride from the railway station and short journey from the Worth Way. It costs £35 for each adult and under 16s are free, with three routes timed 60 mile or 40 mile runs or a family 10 mile nature trail ride.

George, a regular rider, said: "I still experience a very special feeling when I arrive at the start venue. Be-

fore the ride starts I enjoy chatting about cycling to other entrants, some of whom I've met year after year and it pleases me to see so many youngsters taking up the sport and accepting the challenge. At my age, I can't describe the wonderful ‘I've done it’ feeling that I experience when I cross the finishing line, knowing that my efforts have raised lots of sponsorship."

Michaela Clements, events fundraising assistant at St Catherine’s Hospice said :“We're asking everyone who takes part to raise as much money as they can through sponsorship or donation. Raising just £46 allows a patient to be cared for in the comfort and surroundings of their own home with an hour-long visit from one of our Community Nurses or £62 provides a counselling session for a bereaved relative. By taking part, you’ll be helping make a real difference to local people’s lives.”

Henfield Community Partnership awarded £10,000 by Aviva for project Villagers have received a £10,000 boost in their campaign to modernise a day centre.

And a community leader has praised the public for supporting the village’s vital bid.

Henfield Community Partnership has been awarded the money from the Aviva Community Fund after public votes secured the bid.

The Community Partnership is currently working with West Sus-

sex County Council to transfer the centre over to the partnership and community ownership.

The money from Aviva will be used to refurbish the inside of the Henfield Haven at Hewitts, which is at present the county council day centre building.

Partnership chairman Tony Jackson said: “It is another good news story for Henfield.

“Votes for the project were cru-

cial in getting to the final stage, so many thanks to everyone who voted. Definite news about the relaunch date of the Haven should be available in August.”

Cllr Peter Catchpole, West Sussex County Council’s cabinet member for adult social care and health, said: “Congratulations to everyone at Henfield Community Partnership on winning the £10,000 from the Aviva Community Fund.”

After Steve Shipp lost his grandad to heart trouble he decided on a daring way to raise money to help other sufferers.

The 22-year-old, who is used to working at somewhere near ground level and dislikes heights, glided 10,000ft to Earth in a sponsored tandem skydive. Now he plans a spot of wing walking.

Steve, an emergency engineer working at the Horsham depot of gas distribution company SGN, has raised a b o u t £1,300 for the B r i t ish Heart Foundation and also managed to conquer his fear of heights.

Steve lost his grandad Ronald Ingram at 73 to heart failure last December.

Determined to keep his memory alive, Steve resolved to raise money for the British Heart Foundation by doing something that would have made his granddad proud.

Steve, who lives with girlfriend Rachel , said: “My grandad had four heart attacks and then last November he had a stroke. After everything he went through, it felt like the least I could do.”

Despite having his skydive can-

The food of India

celled five times because of poor weather, Steve finally got to make the jump at Chiltern Park in Oxfordshire.

He said afterwards: “I’ve never been so scared in all my life,” “Sitting on the edge of that plane, looking out onto nothing was surreal. I nearly backed out, but I’m glad I didn’t because when I actually jumped it was amazing – like a daydream.”

Donations are still coming in, but so far Steve has raised £800 for the foundation in sponsorship from family, friends and colleagues.

This total has been boosted by a £500 donation from SGN’s Into Action fund, which supports employees who give up their time to help charities or their local community.

Steve paid tribute to his colleagues and family and said: “The last few months have been made a lot easier by the support of my family and my colleagues at Sussex depot, all of whom without exception sponsored me to make the jump.”

Determined to continue fundraising in his grandad’s memory Steve is now planning his next challenge – wing walking on a Second World War Stearman biplane.

Sunshine crowds help Billingshurst Collyer’s students quiz industry professionals Primary School smash records

Supporters who turned out in force have helped Billingshurst Primary School break records for fund raising.

When receipts were added up from its fifth annual Summer Fun Day, the crowds had created a record-smashing total of £10,081.51, after what organisers say was the biggest and the best event so far.

The attraction was boosted by a busy programme of activities and good weather to bring the crowds out.

As the school’s biggest fundraising event, staff, pupils and families worked together to help make the day such a huge success.

The fun day filled the school field and had something for everyone, from well-loved favourites such as face-painting and cake sales to some exciting new additions in the form of bungee bowling and Total Wipeout.

Well-established summer fun day traditions such as the Head Teacher and Deputy Head challenge proved particularly popular with the crowds, as the teachers went head to head on the Bungee Run and Shaun the Sheep Rodeo. The school choir and country dancers entertained visitors throughout the day while a team of teachers battled to be crowned Billingshurst BBQ Mas-

terchef, serving more than 200 sausages and 200 burgers.

Head teacher Helen Williamson said: “As ever, we are amazed at the grand total from this fundraising event. We were delighted so many people joined us for a fantastic afternoon of family entertainment.

Behind the fun, we have an incredible team who run our parent committee, the BPSCA, and without them this event would not be possible. Thanks to these fundraising efforts every penny raised goes back to the school, providing opportunities for every child, and for that we are very grateful.” Pictured is action from the afternoon.

Collyer’s photography department welcomed industry professionals, including a former Collyer’s student, to speak to the current generation about pursuing a career in the photographic industries.

The day of talks formed part of the department’s summer enrichment activities, which helps to prepare students for their A-level study, progression onto degrees and pursuing job opportunities.

Award winning professional photographers, Tom Hull and Alex Hill, shared their exciting journeys into the world of commercial/advertising photography and video production.

Alex and Tom explained the importance of work experience and entering competitions, as it helps gain exposure within the industry. The students were fascinated to hear about their careers, which has included commissions for major brands such as: Nike, Ministry of Sound, NSPCC and music video production for popular artists Ben Howard and Rizzle Kicks!

Collyer’s Photography teacher, Anna Stafford, talked about her project developed in a recent sabbatical year from teaching. ‘We Participate’ was set up to facilitate participatory led projects in Uganda and Guatemala, with former street children and under-privileged youth. Participatory photography provides marginalised and disadvantaged communities the opportunity to learn photographic and storytelling skills as a means to represent their lives.

Talented ex-student, Rob Legg, returned to take part in the day’s talks.

Rob left the college last year after gaining an A grade at A-level Photography. He spoke to the students about

getting into the photographic industry and about his experiences, which have taken him all over the world, including work assisting a professional car photographer.

Current student, Megan Young, said: “The careers talks were truly inspiring, all the speakers were so enthusiastic about their line of work and that was really encouraging to me as a student. The speakers have encouraged me to pursue a career in

Award winning professional photographers, Tom Hull and Alex Hill, shared their exciting journeys photography, and that although it is difficult, it is very worthwhile to be doing something every day which you love so much”.

Alex Hill was equally impressed by the day; he said: “It’s a privilege to be able to share my knowledge with students who are embarking on an exciting creative journey. Hopefully by visiting we will have sparked something as they continue to learn and discover the magic of photography.”

Subject Leader, Laura Andrews, added: “It has been a wonderful opportunity for our students and will help them with future projects and progression. Their enthusiasm and passion for their work has been truly inspiring.”

Winner of Bicycle and Country Club competition

Prestigious local companies, Slinfold Golf & Country Club and The Cycle Shop, recently worked together to offer an amazing chance to win a bike worth £750, including a £185 bespoke bike fitting.

Scores descend on Southwater for Dino Park opening

Youngsters shared a bony piece of history when Southwater’s Dinosaur Island was opened.

The youngsters saw as part of the busy entertainment programme some original dinosaur bones found in Horsham in the early 1800s that can usually be seen in Horsham Museum.

More than 160 years ago the same bones were the star attraction in the

world’s first theme park, when tens of thousands visited the dinosaur theme park at Crystal Palace.

The Great Iguanodon found at Horsham only 11 years earlier in 1839-40 when St Marks Church was being built had been reconstructed to become the star attraction using cutting edge science to terrify the visitors.

The Great Horsham iguanodon fossil bones were measured and ex-

62 WEST STREET, HORSHAM, RH12 1PL COTSWOLDOUTDOOR.COM

trapolated, revealing a monster so large that the day before the reconstruction was revealed a sit down dinner was held in its stomach. A fire destroyed the replicas and by the time a new set was being made, complete fossils were found in Belgium, showing that the early Victorian scientists had got it wrong.

From then on, the fossils lost their appeal as other discoveries were

thought to be more exciting.

The remarkable story of how a dinosaur found by Horsham’s forgotten dinosaur hunter, George Bax Holmes became the star attraction in the world’s first theme park is told in a book available at Horsham Museum by John Cooper of Booth Museum Brighton. It is a story of intellectual rivalry, skulduggery and passion for a new science.

About 50 years later another iguanodon was discovered while brick clay was being dug at Southwater. It inspired the Sussex and Dorking Brick Company to use its image as the company logo. Then 70 years later that discovery inspired Horsham District Council’s parks and countryside team to create a Dinosaur adventure playground, opened last Saturday, for children to enjoy.

Horsham Park buzzed with activity for last Sunday’s Sparks in the Park afternoon.

And the crowds also got the bonus of seeing some of the superb colour model elephants that will be launched in the Elephantastic fund-raiser this Sunday in the Carfax.

Thousands of visitors swarmed to the park to enjoy hours of a wide range of family attractions and activities.

One of the most charming was an Alice in Wonderland tea party reflecting the fancy dress theme of this year’s show.

A favourite with youngsters was the lure of gleaming fire engines and other equipment at the Horsham Community Safety Showcase run by the emergency services and partners. As well as the fun there was the chance for everyone to learn about the important work carried out.

Also in the programme was Horsham Rotary Club’s charity day, Bensons Fun Fair, Skate Jam, a Sports Zone, a visit from Paddington Bear and the Community Stage.

The returning Sports Zone gave the more energetic the chance to try activities including football, table tennis, basketball, tennis, karate, Nordic walking and outdoor military fitness.

Stay Safe Driving and Kapow Wrestling, bands and community performance arts all added to the mix put together by Horsham District Council.

The town’s Rotary Club showcased Horsham’s charitable community, giving people the chance to inquire about projects and serving as a volunteer. The club said on its website: “Thank you to all the wonderful people who made Sparks in the Park once again a fantastic event. Even though the weather was not so great, everyone seemed to be having a great time.”

A child-friendly garden Fund-raisers sought for Dame Vera guy deakins Gardening

It's a funny thing this gardening malarkey. We often look at gardens as some kind of respite from our daily lives of toil - which is great of course.

I have also noticed that we have a tendency to look at a garden with a sense of fear and trepidation. There is so much to learn and so much to know.

How to look after the garden? How to keep the plants alive? How to keep the animals that visit alive too? Is it designed well? Does it follow the latest trend? Does it compare to a show garden?

The grass is invariably never greener. In fact I read an article recently that explains why the grass always looks greener next door. It is a mixture of psychology and the diffusion of light.

Recently in the news there have been reports of plants causing blisters or being poisonous, as if this had never been discovered before.

Well, as a favour to you all here is a list of the top plants to avoid in the family garden and why.

1. Monkshood (Aconitum). Beautiful.

All parts deadly poisonous.

2. Euphorbia species. The plant contains a sap that burns throat and eyes.

3. Box. (Buxus). The plant sap contains a substance known as buxine that can burn the throat if ingested.

4. Stagshorn (Rhus). The leaves contain a substance that blisters the skin.

5. Giant Hogweed. A Gertrude Jeykll favourite. The leaves and stems contain a substance that can cause the skin to blister in the sun.

6. Laburnum. A member of the pea family the seeds look edible. Don't believe this. I spent a day in hospital having my stomach pumped when I was four years old because I thought they were good snacks. A similar plant with pea like seeds is broom.

7. Solanum. Any member of the potato family has the distinct ability to poison if not treated with care. Some more than others. Deadly Nightshade is one to avoid!

8. Rhododendron. Toxic Leaves.

9. Chrysanthemums. The leaves can cause an allergic reaction and the flowers are quite toxic.

10. Wisteria. Another beautiful and toxic plant that has pea-like fruit. Is there a theme here?

11. Sweet Pea. My children love eating peas straight from the plant, but I have to make sure they always ID the plant before they ingest anything!

Whilst talking of ingesting seeds and berries, try to identify what you have in your hand. The fashion for wild foraging is growing and so too are the incidents of accidental poisoning.

There are many plants that look pretty, that are not in any way shape or form to be consumed. A short list of the ones you may come across every day is: Holly, Ivy, Asparagus, Horse-chestnut, Broom, Spindle tree, Oak and Privet.

Interestingly Yew leaves and the seed in the berry are toxic. However the red pulp is not - but I do not recommend you try this out!

Lynn’s West Sussex charity walk

Walkers are invited to support the charity of wartime singing sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn that helps children who have a tough start in life.

The Dame Vera Lynn Trust in West Sussex supports babies and children under five living with Cerebral Palsy and other motor learning difficulties.

The Arundel to Brighton Walk

(the A2B) on September 19 will raise money for the Trust’s work at Ingfield Manor School, near Billingshurst.

So far it has raised more than £25,000 and this year the charity says it is looking for more walkers to make it bigger and better.

Starting from Arundel Castle, walkers can choose between two distances of 35km, about 21 miles, taking eight

to nine hours, or 12km, about seven miles, taking two to three hours.

Pied A Terre Adventure is helping to organise the walk. There will be regular refreshment stops, plenty of encouragement along the way and a hot meal for everyone on completion.

All fundraisers who reach the £120 fundraising target will be entered into an exclusive draw, with prizes including a place on the exclusive Bear Grylls Survival Academy course and the use of an Audi Convertible for a week.

The charge is £30 for adults and £10 for under 16’s accompanied by an adult and walkers can sign up by visiting www.bit.ly/A2BWalk or by contacting Kirstie Betts at Pied A Terre Adventures on 01403 788994 or email mytime@patadventures.com The Dame Vera Lynn Trust was set up in 2001 when the national charity Scope announced that it would be unable to continue funding the School for Parents at Ingfield Manor.

Dame Vera, who lives near Ditchling, East Sussex, launched an appeal with several of her friends and associates and enough money was raised to continue the service.

Emma Maxwell, a parent of a child at the school said: “My little boy goes to a session at this school once a week and it has been an amazing lifeline for us. We are so grateful for fundraising events like these which ensure we can continue attending the school.”

Tomorrow’s West Chiltington show is rich in local history

Residents at West Chiltington will have a rich history of community life behind them when they gather for their Village Show on Saturday.

The event on July 18 began life as West Chiltington Fete and Flower Show and was founded in 1919 as part of the Peace Celebrations after the First World War. In 1939, the Second World War halted it, but villagers revived it six years later as part of the village’s victory celebrations.

Inspired by the enthusiasm of the first chairman, Rev. Andrew Caldecott, it rapidly established itself as a popular feature in the village calendar and was attended by all the villagers, as well as former residents who returned to share in the show’s fun activities. The late

actor and singer Norman Wisdom, who lived in the area, was one of its supporters.

In 1939, the Second World War halted it, but villagers revived it six years later as part of the village’s victory celebrations The afternoon will start at 1.30pm at the recreation ground in Mill Road.

Entertainments will include

stalls, a fun dog show, a produce competition, art and craft displays, vintage cars, a hog roast, a beer tent, and children’s entertainments.

Great treat for train fans Christ’s Hospital students break

records with Baccalaureate success

Miniature railway fans had a bonus at the Ingfield Manor School Fete, Five Oaks.

The Ingfield Light Railway had more rides than ever before. They had been building more track for many months, so that more people could enjoy a ride.

Paralympic gold medallist Dan Bentley opened the fete and entertainment included the Horsham Bluebelles and the Horsham Youth Concern Band.

Mr Don Newport, chairman of the Friends of Ingfield, said: “ We’ve taken around £11,500, which is a fantastic result. The takings overall are a real credit to everyone who volunteered to help, and means we can do more to help the school and School for Parents” Hazel Darby, the school’s principal, said; “We are so grateful for all the hard work by the small group of The Friends, and for everyone’s support on the day.”

Students at Christ’s Hospital, Horsham, achieved the school’s best results in the demanding International Baccalaureate Diploma.

The youngsters re-wrote the school’s record books with an impressive average score of 37 points, which is equivalent to three A*s and two As at A Level.

With a maximum of 45 points available, two pupils, Lucy Hindmarsh and David Reckers, gained a score of 42 points.

Ulrika Breme and Esther Sorooshian recorded 41 points each, with Tony Lam and Safia Sangster achieving 40 points.

Overall, one-third of the 18 pupils sitting for the diploma achieved 40 points or above and the school says all have gained grades that reflect their resilience and hard work on a demanding academic course.

The results include three points for the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge Essay and the Christ’s Hospital pupils’ combined core points average of 2.1 placed them amongst the top International Baccalaureate schools in the world.

The pupils’ university destinations include Imperial, King’s College, UCL, Bonn, Durham, Warwick, Heidelberg, Maastricht, Leeds, Exeter and the Free University of Berlin to read English, Engineering (Bio-

medical and Electronic), Classics, Medicine, Economics, Mathematics or Philosophy.

Head Master John Franklin said: “I am really proud of our pupils and teachers on a superb set of IB results. All of the pupils on the IB course gained their diploma with some impressively high scores.

“The breadth and depth of the IB, along with its international focus and mathematical and scientific element makes this a demanding

Designing good news for Living out the dream Horsham’s Bishopric Horsham’s Bishopric is buzzing with major developments and a further exciting expansion for local businesses is on the way!

JR Print has acquired the assets and site of the former Kool Kat Company – The Old Granary at 37 Bishopric, behind Shelley House where they are extending the existing print facility.

JR Print will continue to work from their premises at 19a Denne Parade until early September, when a major investment in equipment and people will create one integrated printing solution for our district .when the two JR operations come together in the Bishopric.

But there is far more to JR than just printing – they pride themselves in providing a comprehensive design, printing and copying service - fully utilising the latest digital techniques together with guillotining, folding, stapling, creasing, laminating and other finishing facilities. JR Print are an authorised Fed Ex Shipping Centre, too.

In the meantime, David Want runs the existing Bishopric venture, telling the District Post: “We work closely with clients, focusing on quality to deliver their needs.

Everything is done in house from posters, brochures and point of sale material for businesses through to wedding and funeral printing for

personal customers.

“We’re a reliable, well established company and will have much more space in the new set up and think combining our sites will be exciting news for Horsham businesses!” David Meadham manages the Denne Parade enterprise, saying: “David and I have known each other for many years having first worked together at Kodak.

“We’re adaptable, flexible and with our modern, fast machinery are accustomed to working to short deadlines. We’ve outgrown Denne

Parade and are really looking for the business to take off when we’re all at the Bishopric come the end of summer.”

There is ample customer parking and friendly welcome guaranteed.

JR count many local businesses and local councils among their valued clients and both David’s echoed: “Bring your needs to us and leave it to the two Dave’s and our enthusiastic team – you’ll bless the day you did! www.jr-print.co.uk – sales@jrprint.co.uk – Horsham 211511/211539

and Ricky Hatton to name just two.

The company have a long list of after dinner speakers to suit any event and have an extensive authentic range of signed memorabilia ranging from Bon Jovi’s guitar to Lionel Messi’s boots to Manny Pacquiao’s signed boxing shorts. Living out the Dream also holds their own events where top stars will give inspirational speeches and carry out signings alongside a charity auction of top quality signed merchandise.

Living out the Dream gets its buzzing go ahead feel from the infectious enthusiasm of owner Darren Webb and his countless celebrity contacts.

But the amazing thing about this company is that when you speak to its staff and see it operating you could be mistaken in thinking that it has been established for years. When asked how long the company had been going Darren replied “About three months, but we are doing alright aren’t we”.

After our short visit to this lively company we came away with the feeling that Darren and his team were doing more than just alright! www.livingoutthedream. co.uk

When Darren Webb, the owner of Horsham based company Living out the Dream, opens up the contact list on his phone it’s like reading through a list of who’s who from the sporting, music, film and TV world.

However when the District Post called in to the company’s office in Horsham the star names were not just on Darren’s phone as boxing legends Michael Watson and Robin Reid were making a personal visit, spending the afternoon chatting away and signing memorabilia.

Mancunian Darren is an avid collector of memorabilia himself and after spending years in and around the Manchester sports and music scene he decided to put his extensive contacts to use and make a business out of it. He has a long association with Manchester United and can claim a number of players past and present as friends. In addition he has friends and contacts throughout the regions music scene such as Stone Roses bassist Mani and many more. Boxing is another passion of Darren’s, not everyone can get the likes of Michael Watson and Robin Reid along to their office, but Darren also has connections with M a r v i n Hagler

Keeping your cool at work in the summer This month, Janette Whitney gives advice on working in the heat Janette whitney www.whitneyassocs.co.uk

As temperatures soar, employers are being asked to take steps to reduce the temperature in the workplace.

Health & Safety guidelines state that employers have a duty to ensure reasonable workplace temperature, but evidence shows that due to the unreliable British summer, too many employers fail to monitor workplace temperature closely enough.

Surprisingly, although the law sets out minimum temperatures for the workplace, there is no clear legal maximum.

Regulation 7 of the workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 provides that ‘ during working hours, the temperature in all workplaces inside buildings shall be reasonable’. In 2004, following requests for a maximum temperature to be created, the government stated that it would not introduce a maximum workplace temperature, as it would be too impractical.

The World Health Organisation has stated that the maximum tem-

perature for ‘comfortable’ working (which, of course, is different from the maximum temperature for ‘safe’ working) is 24 degrees Celsius.

Perhaps the best guidance is the call from the TUC, in 2003, for a maximum workplace temperature of 30 degrees (or 27 degrees for those doing strenuous work).

If temperatures in your workplace are approaching these levels, you need to think seriously about ways to manage risks such as fatigue, dizziness, dehydration and asthma.

Failure to take reasonable steps (which would include introducing portable air conditioning machines, fans, providing free water or allowing longer breaks) might result in civil liability if an employee suffers ill-health.

It should also be borne in mind that an employees age, build and medical factors, may affect an individual’s tolerance of the heat/humidity and hence productivity.

On the other side of the coin, there are minimum temperatures for the workplace laid down under the Health & safety legislation. The temperature should be comfortable – at least 16 degrees Celsius where people are seated or don’t have to move much and at least 13 degrees Celsius where people are active.

If the temperature must be lower, people should not be exposed for too long and wear suitable clothing, provided by the employer.

So if you wish to avoid a summer slump in your business productivity you need to take into account heat as a workplace risk.

THE CAPITOL SUMMER SCHOOL PRODUCTION Les Misérables… School Edition: Performed entirely by students

Friday 7 & Saturday 8 August 2.30pm & 7pm The Glynde Place Dance Studio held a fantasic show on July 5 and 12 at the Hawth Theatre, Crawley, to a packed and appreciative audience.

Over 300 students aged between four and 24 years old demonstrated their excellence in Classical Ballet Modern Tap and Jazz.

Scenes from Hansel and Gretel, Titanic, The Nutcracker and the Sound of Music, gave every member of the audience a chance to experience different forms of dance. Of course, the seventy-plus little ones charmed the audience with their Teddy Bear rendition.

There were tears of emotion from the mums watching when 55 older students in white classical tutu's danced to "Hello" in the La Grand de File, having had the stage stage specially extended for the occasion and wild applause for the Irish tap and Jazz ensemble.

Come and join us for the culmination of 2 weeks of rehearsals by a hugely talented group of young people. In 19th century France, Jean Valjean, who for decades has been hunted by the ruthless policeman Javert after breaking parole, agrees to care for a factory worker’s daughter. The decision changes their lives forever.

Dare ye enter Witchwood at the Loxwood Joust?

GATTON MANOR

Performed by The Chapterhouse Theatre Company

Book your tickets on

01306 627555

info@gattonmanor.co.uk Gatton Manor Hotel and Golf Club, Standon Lane, Ockley, Surrey, RH5 5PQ

The Loxwood Joust is a most spectacular mediaeval festival and new to the woodland area this year, is the haunted Witchwood.

Organisers dare you to set foot along the path of the witches trail, but warn of the witches that reside within.

Enter cautiously, the Witchwood in the Loxwood Meadow, to find the Witches Hovel. Hang out around the cauldron, whist the witches make potions and cures from herbs, and be harassed, as they tell their witch-craft tales.

Known as 'creatures most foul', witches were the foulest creatures known to walk the world of the Middle Ages, dabblers in the dark arts, servants of the spirits of this world and worshippers of pagan beliefs.

Find out whether Loxwood's witches are those known as 'white witches', 'wise women' or 'the cunning folk' that use their knowledge, of healing herbs and plants, to aid those they came into contact with, or are they 'black witches', who use their arts for more selfish desires, helping only themselves in the harming of their enemies?

Joined in the Witchwood by a witchy trader, and Mediaeval tarot card reader, will you now believe that witches made secret pacts with the Devil, to allow them to haunt the skies on flying broomsticks, create storms and even transform into animals to keep watch over their woodland territories.

Two weekends of mediaeval mayhem take place on August 1, 2, 8 and 9 at The Loxwood Meadow, Loxwood, West Sussex RH14 0AL. For more information, visit: www.loxwoodjoust. co.uk

Business really does matter!

Business Matters A N N U A L AWA R D S 2 0 1 5

300 people attended a prestigious black tie awards dinner at the Hilton Hotel Gatwick on Friday 3rd July. Amongst the 6 finalists in the 'Young Achiever' category was garden designer Jack Dunckley. The Annual Business Matters Awards organised by JP South Events recognises and showcases the very best of local business in the Sussex and Hampshire area. For the young achiever category you must be aged under 25. At 22 Jack certainly qualified. Jack is no stranger to awards in his professional life as a garden designer having won a total of 8 RHS awards at Chelsea, Hampton Court and Malvern. Jack said 'The reason this is so significant for me to win this is because it represents my achievements in business and not garden design. I started Birchfield Nursery in 2010 with my father and although like many local businesses, we have had our ups and downs, but fortunately we have had steady growth to date. Of course it helps being a recognised garden designer and having a knowledge of plants, but I must admit, five years ago it all seemed a bit daunting considering I was only 17.'

Susie Marshall of JP Events said ' The Judges were full of praise for Jack. For such a young man to have so many responsibilities and have achieved so much, more than many people three times his age, makes him a deserving winner'.

Simple and effective hard landscaping One of the key features when designing a garden is the hard landscaping whether it's a perimeter or retaining wall. There are many different finishes, but two commonly used are either a fascia or a hand built stone.

Garden Designers Jack Dunckley and Daniel Barber of Jack Dunckley ltd. incorporate Beltrami 'Stoneskin' in many of their designs. Daniel says, 'We use Beltrami because the quality and range of products they manufacture have a superb finish.

The detail and naturalness of the stone adds that extra bit of detail and transforms an ordinary garden into an exceptional one.

Other examples for screening can be the clever use of timber. 'We recently had a client who wanted to change the boundary fence. But it belonged to the next door neighbour and couldn't be altered. So I designed a clever timber slat screen that sits just in front of the original boundary fence. Using a paint colour that complimented the stone paving and all the other hard landscaping, resulted in the planting really standing out well.' said Daniel.

'Another way of finishing retaining walls around a patio area is to place small granite stones at the top of the low brick wall. This is demonstrated well on one of our projects that is currently being landscaped in West Chiltington. When designing this garden, I was able to reflect the flint like areas of the house exterior walls.'

I recently designed a sizeable frontage at a house in Guildford. The level change was significant and I featured their 'Oyster Stoneskin' on the large retaining wall. Apart from being very effective, our landscaping team found it easy to install using a flexible adhesive.' Beltrami also produce a granite, limestone or slate finish Stoneskin.

Creating buildings in the garden

By Jack Dunckley

At Jack Dunckley's Landscape Design, we have incorporated Albany Timber Craft in some of the gardens we have designed. For the 2014 Hampton Court Flower Show, The Just Retirement Garden had a bespoke 'walk through' Pavilion at one end. With about 30,000 people across 7 days walking in and out of the building it had one entrance and 2 exits, one on either side.

Custom Perspex windows provided floor to ceiling vistas and allowed visitors to look out onto the planting that surrounded the garden. When designing a Show Garden the judging criteria is really tough. Every detail of not only the design, but the workmanship is scrutinised. Apart from Albany's close proximity to us at the design studio, their expertise in Timber craft is second to none!

What the Budget means for housing David Cox, Managing Director, Association of Residential Letting Agents, comments on the housing measures announced in the recent Chancellor’s Emergency Budget In a bid to limit the growth in buy-to-let properties, the Chancellor has announced plans to reduce the amount of tax relief investors can claim on mortgage interest payments.

At a time when the supply of rental property is already struggling to meet demand, it is dangerous to try and reduce growth in the rental market.

Tenants will have to save for longer to be able to afford a deposit for a house, as more of their income will be eaten by rent The Chancellor has also replaced the wear and tear costs to a new system that means landlords can only deduct the exact amount that they will incur.

However, the unintended consequence of this, and the reduction in income tax is that landlords will seek to recoup their costs by hiking up rents.

As a result, tenants will have to save for longer to be able to afford a deposit for a house, as more of their income will be eaten up by rent. This creates a vicious circle where tenants are renting for longer because the hope of owning a home becomes less achievable.

The Government needs to think about the market more holistically and while the rental market remains such an important tenure, we need to find the right balance between landlord taxation and tenant aspiration.

Increasing mortgage availability boosts prospects of new landlords New landlords have more options open to them in the mortgage market, potentially making it easier to take the first steps towards building a property portfolio.

The latest statistics from Moneyfacts show there are now 664 mortgage deals available to new landlords, up from 574 in April - a rise of 13 per cent. What’s more, it is some way above the 396 on offer in 2013.

Allison Thompson, lettings director at Leaders, says: “An expanding range of mortgages is great news for buy-to-let landlords, who now have a greater chance of securing the mortgage that is perfect for them.

“Finding the right mortgage on the right terms is one of the key steps towards achieving a healthy return on a buy-to-let project, along with identifying a suitable property in a good location.”

Recent changes to pension regulations making it possible to more easily withdraw a lump sum from a pension pot have so far been utilised by 60,000 pensioners, many of whom have done so in order to invest in a buy-to-let property.

Lenders have subsequently increased the number of mortgage products on of-

fer in order to meet the growing demands of this group.

Allison explains: “This year’s changes to the pension market have created an opportunity for a huge number of people to use their savings to invest in property.

With the buy-to-let market renowned as a lucrative option in comparison with other types of investment, it is no surprise so many have opted to do so.

“Rents are high and mortgage rates are at an all-time low, so the potential for achieving a big return is higher than it has been for some time. What’s more, landlords are also likely to benefit from substantial capital appreciation in the medium to long term.”

Anyone who is considering starting their own property portfolio should seek expert advice on where to invest and what type of property is likely to deliver the return they are looking for.

Each of Leaders’ 100-plus branches is staffed by a team of experienced, local professionals who are ready to support buy-to-let investors in identifying a suitable property and managing it successfully on their behalf to achieve the best results.

For more information, please contact your local branch or visit leaders.co.uk.

Will Palmer extends his lead Motor Sport Dave Smith – Sports Editor Southwater driver Will Palmer has extended his lead in the Formula 4 Championship after taking a win and a second place at Snetterton last weekend.

Palmer now has amassed 260 Championship points, 25 ahead of Mexican driver Rodrigo Fonseca.

In Saturday’s hot sunshine Palmer started second on the grid behind Omar Ismail and despite having numerous attempts to catch Ismail Palmer finished second.

Starting from seventh in race two, Will suffered damage early on and rejoined at the back of the field; despite taking the fastest lap of the race he couldn't improve from 18th. Will lined up on the second row of the grid for

the third and final race of the weekend with the weather changing just before the start resulting in a heavy downpour. Will made a lightning start that saw him take team mate Harri Newey and Omar Ismail on the first bend, a lead he held on to take the flag.

Will commented: "It was one of the best starts I have ever made. Coming from third, I just went straight through the middle and into the lead.

Pulborough match tough Hornets and YM start pre-season Fittleworth point for point Football Dave Smith – Sports Editor

Pulborough played out a draw against Fittleworth Bowls Jane Gray – Pulborough BC Thursday saw the first of just 3 games this week for Pulborough BC, away at Littlehampton's Norfolk Club.

The sea breeze, brilliant sunshine and quality green, should have been the setting for a tight game, but with a much higher membership than Pulborough, Norfolk sent their A team to ensure victory in the Brookes Motors League fixture, 44/30.

A local Derby against tough rivals Fittleworth, was always going to be hotly contested, but Skip, Mick Ralph, with lead, Steve Adsett and number 3 Fred Bushby, made their game seem like a walk in the park, only allowing their opponents to score on 6 out of 18 ends. Their consistent scoring earned them top rink for the day 17/8.

The other 2 Pulborough triples

didn't fare quite as well, but remarkably, by 18 ends, the scores were level at 44/44, finishing up a friendly draw. The home fixture back in May, was equally as close with Pulborough just steeling victory 48/45, showing just how evenly matched the two clubs have been this season!

A hotly anticipated home fixture against Stedham on Sunday unfortunately fell victim to the weather, leaving the Pulborough players with a chance to catch up with the Wimbledon Men's Final and a well earned break.

Pulborough's county singles player, Matt Ives, has made it into the Men's final, to be played at Popes Mead, Crawley on August 2. He played Alec Martin from White Rock, Hastings on a green in Lewes and won convincingly 21/11. Everyone at Pulborough BC wish Matt all the best for his final and send many congratulations for his performance so far.

Billingshurst BC go out of the Midhurst Cup Bowls Keith Barraclough – Billingshurst BC Chichester 87 – 51 Billingshurst Billingshurst, playing in the second round of the Midhurst Cup, lost convincingly to a very strong Chichester team. The top rink for Billingshurst went to John Lucas, Chris Laker and Alan Readshaw (+9).

Home team: Marion Clark, Barry Gilbert & John Bennett lost 10-27 John Lucas, Chris Laker & Alan Readshaw won 21-12 Away team: Anita Colliety, Beryl Barraclough & Geoff Weller lost 11-24 Ray Neal, Betty Weller & Alan Knight lost 9-24 Southgate Park 49 – 63 Billingshurst Billingshurst visited Southgate Park having already won their two previous encounters this season.

Fortune favoured Billingshurst yet again who ran out winning by 14 shots. Top rink for Billingshurst went to John Lucas, Barry Gilbert and Anita Colliety (+12).

Robin Clark, Beryl Barraclough & Alan Knight lost 13-18 Ray Neal, Marion Clark & John Bennett won 18-10 June Bennett, Stan Morgan & Alan Readshaw lost 13-14 John Lucas, Barry Gilbert & Anita Colliety won 19-7

Handcross 65 - 49 Billingshurst Billingshurst went to Handcross hoping to “do the double” on them, having won at home 3 weeks previously. The hosts had other thoughts and took full advantage of playing at home to win by 16 shots. The ray of sunshine for Billingshurst was Ray Sutton, Beryl Barraclough and Geoff Weller taking a 2 on their last end to snatch a draw and deny Handcross a clean sweep across the board.

Robin Clark, Marion Clark & Betty Weller lost 10-18 Ray Neal, John Lucas & Chris Laker lost 11-18 Stan Morgan, Barry Gilbert & Anita Colliety lost 12-13 Ray Sutton, Beryl Barraclough & Geoff Weller drew 16-16 Billingshurst 71 – 44 St Francis The inaugural match against St Francis earlier this season went the way of Billingshurst. In the reverse fixture St Francis came to Billingshurst seeking pay back for the home loss but were unable to master the hosts tricky green with Billingshurst being victorious by 27 shots.

Phil Evans, Stan Morgan & John Bennett won 24-5 Ken Peters, Ray Sutton & Alan Knight Lost 12-15 Robin Clark, Marion Clark & Alan Readshaw won 15-13 June Bennett, Barry Gilbert & Anita Colliety won 20-11

New-look Horsham travelled to Ryman League newcomers Phoenix Sports last Saturday in the first of their pre-season warm up games.

They have earned a draw against opposition that will be playing in the Ryman League North next season having won the Southern Counties East Football League back in April.

The Hornets were 2-0 and 3-1 down but fought back to snatch a draw through Joe Shelley’s last second equaliser. Horsham had Gareth Williams in goal after the club’s player of the season had agreed to sign on again for the forthcoming season in the Southern Combination Football League. William’s decision to stay is a massive boost to the Hornets and

he showed his quality against Pheonix Sports, keeping them in the game by making a penalty save when the score was at 3-1.

Storrington boast cup and league wins

Storrington's Ian Younger Bowls John Wharmby – Storrington BC The week saw two good victories for Storrington in both League and cup matches.

In the league match, against Crabland's B.C. there was very different performances from team to team.

The team of Geoff Page, Gerry Newman, Ian Younger and David Ogley found no difficulty in their game, easily winning 39-6; but, this was counteracted by Howard White's team finding their game a struggle, losing 8- 27.

The other two games were more evenly matched, with tension existing on both games right up to the last end.

Peter Newman came up with "league standard" shots to win 19 - 16, while Paul Leatherbarrow got 3 shots on the last end - but, needed 4, hence losing

by one shot.

David Ogley's powerful win ensured that the match was won by Storringon, 88 - 72 shots with the league points divided Storrington 6, Crabland's 4.

Geoff Page, Gerry Newman, Ian Younger & David Ogley won 39-6.

Neil Tewsley, John Rimmer, Tony Gledhill & Peter Newman won 19-16.

Mike Obrien, R Naldrett, Harry Kendall & Paul Leatherbarrow lost 22-23.

Peter Smith, Les Wilson, Chris Walter & Howard White lost 8-27.

Storrington 88 - 72 Crabland's, Points 6-4.

In the Midhurst Cup Storrington faced Graffham B.C. (just South of Petworth) in a game that consisted of 2 triples rinks playing away and 2 triples rinks at home.

At home, Harry Kendall's team had no difficulty in showing their supe-

riority, winning 20 - 6 while Howard White's team also won, but not without some apprehension, as they finally finished 16 - 14. This gave a final "half- match - score" of 36 - 20.

Away, at Graffham, the Storrington teams, skippered by Pam Healy and Peter Newman, also won, but not too easily, the final "half- match - score" being 43 - 32.

The overall final match result was Storrington 79 – 52 Graffham.

Midhurst cup home teams: Ann Page, Geoff Page & Harry Kendall won 20-6 Pauline Bain, David Bain & Howard White won 16-14 Midhurst cup away teams: Neil Tewsley, Paul Leatherbarrow & Pam Healy won 20-13 Peter Smith, Ann Head & Peter Newman won 23-19.

Horsham Gymnasts star at Sussex Championships gymnastics

Dave Smith - Sports Editor

Horsham Gymnastics Centre’s Sports Acro squad, based at The Pavilions in the Park, carried on from their recent success at the National Finals to last weekend take a huge haul of medals at the Sussex Championships; held at the K2 Crawley.

The 31 squad members that competed claimed an amazing 21 gold medals, 5 silver medals and 2 bronze medals as well as taking the Milano Supreme Champions Shield (Highest Score of the Day) after Dominic Goddard and Darcy Luke’s superb performance.

Gold Medals and the title of Sus-

sex Champions went to: Olivia Barry, Summer Smith & Naima Hyder (Grade 2 Women’s Group), Dominic Goddard & Darcy Luke (Grade 3 Mixed Pair), Dominic Smith & Jackson Laing (Grade 4 Men’s Pair), Myla Kettel & Zoe Gaudiano (Grade 5 Women’s Pair), Manami Imada, Ella Dronfield & Alex Rogers (Grade 5 Women’s Group), Aimee Tolhurst & Ella Louise Nelson (Grade 6 Women’s Pair), Grace Ellis & Sophie Hogton (FIG 11- 16 Women’s Pair), Benjamin Ratcliffe & Madeline Kent (FIG 1116 Mixed Pair) and Emily Steere, Zoe Schubert & Natalie O’Hara (FIG Junior Women’s Group).

Silver Medals went to Grade 3 Mixed Pair Dominic Smith & Alexis O’Hara and also to Grade 3 Women’s Group Grace Hanger, Anabelle

Wright & Nina Butler-Laplace.

The Grade 3 Mixed Pair of Devon Thomas & Nina Butler Laplace took the bronze medal. Caitlin Simpson & Lilly Knight finished in 4th place in the Grade 4 Women’s Pair and Isabella Powell, Ella Turtle & Amelia Edson finished in 5th place in the Grade 4 Women’s Group.

Ali Harmer Head Coach of Acro said, “Many of the gymnasts had only 8 weeks to prepare after competing in the British Finals earlier this year. This meant they had moved up to higher grades with some having new partners, learning new and harder moves and new routines, thus making their achievement even more amazing.

I am very proud of them all, hard work does pay off and they are all a credit to the club, their parents and their coaches”.

A clean sweep for Horsham in Grade 3 Mixed Pairs

Horsham Festival starts on Sunday Roffey through to last eight in National Cup Sunday July 12 England & Wales Cricket Board National Club Championship Roffey 242-7 (44 overs) Havant 209 All Out (40.5 overs) Roffey won by 33 runs Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter

Notts James Taylor is bowled by Will Beer at last year’s festival Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter Horsham have two excellent fixtures for the annual festival at Cricket Field Road.

In the four day LV= County Championship game, starting on Sunday, Sussex entertain Nottinghamshire and on the following Sunday in the 50 over Royal London Cup, Lancashire visit.

Festival organiser Barry Peay told the District Post: “We’re absolutely delighted to have two such outstanding fixtures. Last year’s Festival was a great success, the excellent wickets rightly earning our groundsman Jim Askew a much coveted ECB award”. Horsham President Hugh Thomas says: “2014 was one of the very best festivals with consistently high attendances, very pleasingly returning to the profit level of five years ago.” Like Sussex, Nottinghamshire are in the lower half of the Division One table, but both having ample opportunity to improve their position. Sussex have a good record at Horsham, yet at last year’s Festival Notts - whose

strong line up includes England’s Hales, Lumb, Patel, James Taylor and arguably the best wicket keeper in the country, Chris Read - beat them in the one-day cup. Former England Coach Peter Moores, is now a consultant with Notts. Under him Sussex won the second division of the Championship in 2001, and the main competition itself in 2003, the first Championship title in their 164-year history.

Last year Lancashire were relegated to Division 2 in the championship but currently head that table and are a strong one day side, getting through to the 2014 T20 final.

They last appeared at Horsham in 1994, Sussex winning the four day game although Michael Atherton’s unbeaten century saw Lancs win the one-dayer.

Sussex’s T20 match at Hove two days before the start of the Horsham Festival creates a logistical challenge - a rapid late transfer of boundary boards, chairs and other equipment to Cricketfield Road.

And, having county cricket at the club on two consecutive weekends entails the re-arrangement of

Horsham team fixtures elsewhere.

Strolling round the ground at the Festival with everything running smoothly, spectators could be forgiven for thinking that little organisation is necessary, but much effort is involved. Is it all worth it?

Horsham’s Chris Wassell confirms: “Definitely! It raises our profile and ensures that the club continues to maintain our excellent facilities.”

Barry Peay adds: “We do it because we love it – it’s the highest level of professional sport locally and we like welcoming people to the best ground in England! Its hard work – having a gallows sense of humour is a great advantage!”

Sussex Chairman Jim May sums up: “We have exciting fixtures and Sussex are one of few counties hosting out-ground cricket. It remains vital that local residents and businesses support the Festival to ensure that we are able to continue playing at Horsham.” At 10am on Tuesday there will be a member’s forum – a Q & A session with Sussex Chairman Jim May, CEO Zac Toumazi and Club Coach Mark Robinson.

field was greasy and rock hard and getting our key fielders in the right places helped a lot!”

In miserable weather this was a golden day at Roffey - they are rewarded with a home Quarter Final against the winners of next Sunday’s tie - Bath (third in the West of England Premier League) versus S u n - bury (top of the Surrey Championship) on Sunday August 9.

Scorecard link http://ecb. play-cricket. com/website/results/2582828

In a fluctuating hard fought battle – a great advert for cricket - Roffey clinched victory qualifying for the National quarter finals with the highest score of the round.

Gloomy conditions delayed the start, marginally reducing the overs and Havant were happiest after putting Roffey in and curtailing them to 65-4. But Matt Davies (46) and Rohit Jagota (42) took the score to 150-5 before 3 sixes in Chris Webb’s enterprising 35 not out enabled Roffey to finish on 242, boosted by 38 extras including 22 wides.

Havant started slowly and when Leigh Harrison (2-35) and George Fleming (2-21) took early wickets and Rohit’s prostrate throw engineered a run out, recovery from 39-5 appeared unlikely.

But, Havant, second in Hampshire’s top flight, had other ideas and a cluster of mid innings sixes put them back in the game, until, aided by excellent catching Mike Norris pouching five – Roffey regained control. With the run rate mounting Alex Collins bowled commendably fast and straight from the top end, taking 3-41 and Rohit chipped in with a clinical boot level caught and bowled to see Roffey home – his unbeaten 149 was instrumental in eliminating Havant last year.

Roffey skipper Josh Fleming said: “This was a really enjoy3-41 from Alex Collins able tense game - we knew they helped Roffey into last 8 batted all the way down. The out-

Hustling Horsham humble Eastbourne cricket

Martin Read – Sports Reporter

Saturday July 11- Sussex Premier League Horsham v Eastbourne Eastbourne 77 All Out (26.3 overs) Horsham 81-2 (13.5) Horsham won by 8 wickets

Michael Munday was at his miserly best

Horsham murdered Eastbourne in a one-sided encounter, the game finishing at 3.25pm long before the scheduled tea interval.

Depleted Eastbourne elected to bat and reached 33-1 with no hint of impending disaster - before four wickets fell for five runs. Worse followed as, on a typically reliable Horsham wicket, Kevin Stoute took 3-16 and, at his most tormenting, Michael Munday 4-8.

Amid a flurry of poor shot selection eight batsmen mustered just 23 between them, George Garton, who also completed an excellent run out off his own bowling, and Nathan Roberts sharing the remaining

spoils.

With the target deficient by well over 100 and 83 overs available, Ben Shoare hit 4 fours and 2 sixes in his fluent 48 not out. Horsham suffered just two reverses, winning at a run a ball.

Will Beer free from county duty garnered a slip catch but Horsham had the luxury of not needing him to bowl or bat. Eastbourne flirt with relegation, Ben Shoare telling us: “They’re clearly struggling at the moment but we bowled well and can only play the team put in front of us.

During the week I’ve been working hard with Kevin Stoute on our game and was pleased to get some runs.”

Horsham (197 points) remain fifth – and tomorrow (Saturday July 18) travel to Bexhill, fourth on 198, having played a game less. In a season of topsy turvey results Bexhill are the surprise package with five wins and, last week, a bizarre tie when, after dismissing Brighton & Hove for 104 they were all out themselves for the same score, having been 35-7 and then 79-9.

Luke and Hurst captain Ben Williams coached enthusiastic colts and after the T20 match and the pavilion rocked to lively music.

Luke Wells scored an unbeaten 45, Craig Cachopa 38, Sussex racking up 222, Dave Dunn taking 4-33. Stuart Barber and Mike Burroughs got thirties and Rob Woodman 44 as Hurst fell just short. Universally popular 29 year old Luke said: “I have chosen

three excellent charities – The Broad Appeal (Motor Neurone), Make a Wish Foundation and Sussex’s own charity - Sussex Cricket in the Community Trust and I’m working flat out to raise as much money as possible! It’s great to see so many people here.

The lads had a great time here last year for Mike Yardy’s benefit, so it’s nice to get the game going despite the weather and have a fun day. Billingshurst is a great club and it’s really good to see them doing well in the premier league this year. This is becoming a bit of a fixture for every season, hopefully.”

QUOTE OF THE WEEK It remains vital that local residents and businesses support the Festival to ensure that we are able to continue playing at Horsham Jim May

Roffey worry cautious and timid Nomads Saturday July 11 - Sussex Premier League Preston Nomads v Roffey Roffey 214-8 (58 overs) Preston Nomads 144-5 (52 overs) Match Drawn Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter

Despite a moderate target Preston Nomads made no effort to win, the game ending in turgid stalemate.

Roffey, inserted, soon found themselves 32-4, Carl Simon striking three times. But, after Abdul Khan (24) and Ben Manenti (57) were both run out, Dan Smith with 41 and George Fleming 31 not out enabled Roffey to close on 214.

Then George (4-37) and Ben reduced Nomads to 61-5.

With virtually half the innings still available many sides would have sought to regroup, staying in touch with the asking rate with the intention of going for the runs if wickets subsequently remained intact, but Nomads shut up shop.

Stuart Faith, 41 and Kashim Ibrahim 44 finished unbeaten after batting for almost 30 overs together, Nomad’s pedestrian 144 coming from 52 overs.

Nomads have won the Premier League six times in the last eight years but this was hardly the stuff of dynamic champions. At Wimbledon or Ascot stern action is taken when competitors are deemed not to have tried to win.

Playing recklessly and gifting the game to Roffey was not on, but, nervous after Roffey beat them at Fulking last year to clinch the title, Nomads justification was that - ignoring second placed East Grinstead - they see Roffey as their main threat. They determined not to allow Roffey the slightest whiff of extra points.

Roffey skipper Josh Fleming said: “The wicket was dead and when the ball got soft there was little we could do if they were determined to block it.” After beating the Sussex Development XI on Sunday Nomads are top with 255 points. Roffey third, on 231, two points behind East Grinstead, have a game in hand.

Tomorrow (Saturday July 18) Roffey return home to host early season leaders Brighton & Hove – now 7th after winning just one of their last seven games.
