Leap year Sarah wins her hunk of “Burning Love” phil dennett News Editor

Leap Year proposer Sarah Baldwin reached the heights of passion when she proposed to her fireman boyfriend.

Secretive Sarah hid away at the top of a practice tower as Kieran Hatchard, climbed towards her in what he thought was a routine evening ladder drill.

As Kieran reached the top Sarah sprang her February 29 surprise by boldly producing an engagement ring and asking him: “Will you marry me?”

Sarah went down on one knee for the proposal, at the top of the tower, and presented Kieran with a palladium wedding band from Gold Arts in Chichester. This was followed by a live appearance from local singer and performer Paul Brigstock, who sang the Jason Mraz hit “I won’t give up” to the happy couple. The song contains The lines: “I won’t give up on us. Even if the skies get rough. I’m giving you all my love. I’m still looking up.” Afterwards it was celebrations all round at the Bill-

View at View at

ingshurst fire station, which had never seen such a case of “Burning Love”.

Romantic Sarah, 26, recalled their first meeting and said: “We met on January 28 in 2010.

“Kieran came into the local leisure centre for a gym induction, which I carried out. He tells me he fell in love with me the moment we met. From then we would see each other when he came in for workouts.

“We had bad snow that year and I needed somewhere to stay. Kieran kindly offered and I stayed at his place as friends, where we started to get to know each other.

“Facebook then connected us after an exchange of phone numbers and the rest is history.

“We have now been together for just over six years, Kieran is the kindest, most caring person I know and we love each other unconditionally.“ Kieran, 27, from Billingshurst, is a retained fire fighter for Billingshurst and works at Anco storage, a local family-run shelfing and racking company.

Sarah, from Aldwick, said: “We are looking to purchase our first home this year and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together.”

A playgroup still run by a committee after 38 years has been assessed as “good”.

St. Gabriel’s Playgroup, a registered charity, opened in April 1978, with a small committee of parents, and hires St. Gabriel’s Church Hall in East Street, Billingshurst.

Ofsted rate it as “good” in its report of a visit in December.

Part of the report from the inspector said: “The manager, staff

and committee have worked effectively to improve the overall quality of the provision.

“Staff work effectively in partnership with parents, use their good knowledge to plan activities to extend learning and development and fully value children’s involvement, children are well behaved, confident, enjoy learning and concentrate well

Effectiveness of the leadership and management are good.”

The playgroup receives funding to provide free early education for children aged two, three and four. It also receives Early Years Premium Funding. There are six members of staff.

Two million books speaks volumes at party Former library staff turned back the pages at a 20th anniversary celebration.

They were among nearly 400 people at the party for Steyning Library and swopped memories of their time there.

Children who attended got a few treats. They received a birthday balloon, were read a story by children’s author Sam Lloyd, and made Ticklysaurus models.

More than 380 people turned up to celebrate at the library, with one happy library member commenting: “What a great way to celebrate 20 years of real community interaction in the ‘New Library’. On behalf of three generations, thank you one and all.”

It is estimated that since Steyning Library opened it has lent out two million books.

David Barling, West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member with responsibility for libraries, said: “I was delighted to attend the birthday celebrations and cut the cake at Steyning Library.

Cllr Barling at the party “That so many people came to join in with the celebrations really highlights how much the community values their library.”

£50 taxes rise as district confirms increase Residents will to find about £50 extra for all their council taxes, after a full Horsham District Council meeting confirmed its own rise of 1.2 per cent.

The district rise will add about £1.63 a year to bills.

By far the largest hit will come from West Sussex County Council, which has confirmed a rise of 3.95 per cent and has by far the largest budget and biggest council tax bills.

The combined effect of both increases will be to add about £50 a year to the average council tax bill, once a 1.98 per cent in Sussex Police tax and parish precepts are added.

The Government pledged an extra £6.2million to West Sussex after protests from councillors about cuts in funding from central government.

But the council decided to use the money to prop up services rather than reduce the council tax increase.

And it has warned that despite the extra money savings will still have to be made because in 201617 it will have a shortfall of £44 million while facing increasing demand for services.

The Horsham district council tax rise was approved by full council on February 24 after a recommendation from cabinet.

The Government pledged an extra £6.2million to West Sussex after protests from councillors Both councils protested to the Government about big cuts in support from central taxation that stretched their budgets.

The West council tax increase includes the two per cent charge announced by Chancellor George Osborne in November 2015 to help councils meet the needs of an increasingly ageing population.

The increases take effect from April 1. This week the Chancellor George Osborne warned that further spending restrictions might be needed from the public sector because of global economic turmoil and slower growth.

Council to buy Horsham ambulance station

Horsham’s doomed ambulance station could become part of new development of homes, businesses and a hotel after district councillors approved its purchase.

Crews will be based at a new centre at Crawley from April 18 using Hurst Road only as a small “response” site where they can park if needed while handling local calls.

The site has been on the market since the end of 2015 and the station building will remain on site until a date is set for its demolition.

Horsham District Council has earmarked the area between Horsham Hospital and the Pavilions Leisure Centre as an area with potential for regeneration. This is because as the public sector buildings such as the ambulance station are old and in many instances are expected to become surplus to requirements.

The Ambulance Station is run by South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and its half-acre site has been marketed

by Colyer Commercial, of Horsham.

The council is working on a master plan for the Hurst Road site as part of its scheme to improve the town centre.

The council says it cannot divulge how much the ambulance site will cost after last week’s decision because it is commercially sensitive information and is classed as “exempt information” under the Local Government Act 1972.

How long the redevelopment will have to wait for a start is uncertain,

because the ambulance is only part of an area needed. But the council expects most of the land needed for the total redevelopment to be available within about the next five years.

The ambulance service said some space at the ambulance site would be kept as an “ambulance community response post”, where crews can park while in the area. As previously announced by the ambulance trust, the closure at Horsham is linked to the setting up of a new Make Ready Centre in Northgate, Crawley expected to be running in April.The new centre at will be the base for ambulance crews from Horsham, Crawley, East Grinstead, and Horley, the temporary Gatwick HART base, as well as a Critical Care Paramedic teams. Staff will begin and end shifts at the new centre, but during their shifts will respond from the response posts which will provide facilities for staff. These will be located based on patient demand.

What is Make Ready?

The Make Ready initiative will significantly enhance and improve the service SECAmb provides to the community.

It minimises the risk of crossinfection; frees up front-line staff, who currently clean and re-stock ambulances, to spend more time treating patients; and keeps vehicles on the road for longer The initiative ensures that specially-trained operatives regu-

larly deep-clean, restock and check vehicles for mechanical faults.

The Make Ready Centre will be supported by a network of ambulance community responses posts (ACRPs) across the area and will see staff begin and end their shifts at the new centre.

However during their shifts, staff will respond from the ACRPs which will provide facilities for staff. These will be located based on patient demand.

Work is under way to have the new ACRPs in place for when the new centre becomes operational – thus protecting and improving the delivery of services to local communities. It is expected that response posts will be found in towns currently served by ambulance stations.

What is the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART)?

SECAmb’s HART is made up of ambulance clinicians how have undergone additional training in the use of specialist equipment and vehicles which will enable them to safely treat patients in the ‘hot zone’ of a major incident or at other incidents with environments such as smoke-filled buildings or where potentially dangerous materials are present.

HART members are also specially-trained to respond to chemical leaks, urban search and rescue incidents, incidents at height, flooding, major road collisions and have equipment to test carbon monoxide levels.

Shoppers help responders to save lives Shoppers at a Co-Operative store in Horsham have a defibrillator available after their success in helping the town’s Community First Responders.

The importance of the life-saving heart machines was emphasised the week before last when one was used to save the life of former football commentator Peter Brackley when he suffered a heart attack at the Holbrook Club. First Responders were involved in helping him and a locally-based machine was used.

Customers have helped the store raise more than £600 towards buying what is called an automated external defibrillator for the store, by filling collecting pots.

Meanwhile the responders have loaned one of the defibrillators to the store to acknowledge its support.

Kayleigh Logan, store manager, said: “I’m very proud that my store can give back to the community. The co-operatives group purpose is the champion a better way of doing business in our community and I feel proud that as a team we have helped support the community responders and very pleased that we can support the local area now having a temporary defibrillator in store.”

Claire Matcheswala, a responder who delivered the machine to the store, said: “I’m really proud of the fact that we have been able to loan a defribrillator to the store, which is now being used as a temporary public access defibrillation site. We

hope in time to be able to install a more permanent site along the Fitzalan Road parade for 24-hour access.”

The use of the machine combined with immediate Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, involving chest compression, gives heart attack victims a much greater chance of survival. Experts say every minute ‘CPR’ is not done a person’s chance of surviving a cardiac arrest drops by up to 10%.

Responders team leader Marc Harrold said: “Providing public training in ‘CPR’ and also establishing

Public Access Defibrillation sites across Horsham is one of the teams objects and it is pleased to be part of the Horsham Heartsafe project working with Horsham District Council, Horsham and Mid Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group and other local charities in promoting this.”

Anyone wishing to learn CPR or how to use a defibrillator may contact the scheme through its website www.horshamresponders.org or Facebook page and it will advise when its next free British Heart Foundation Heartstart course is running.

knowledge and further my experience about medical conditions that are more likely in a developing country, but also provide me with more informed view of the world and its diversity, learning the comparisons of nursing in a developing country compared to that in the UK. “Ghana as a developing country is challenged within the healthcare system due to a lack of money to pay for services and supplies, especially in more rural areas, resulting in a low life expectancy.

“The most common diseases, HIV, TB, yellow fever and malaria have a massive input on the number of deaths however, 70% of deaths occur through malnutrition, all of which are preventable.

“Using my current knowledge and skills, I will like the opportunity to help children in need with even the most basic of care but also to use the experience to help with future development, broadening my skills and knowledge to progress my own career and studies. “ During her two week trip in October Carla-Marie will experience the Ghanaian culture whilst living with other students but also have an opportunity to stay with a host

family. Working with local nurses she will attend the village’s healthcare centre, complete community outreach work in schools and also work in the local hospital in a speciality of her choice.

She said: “Furthermore I will broaden my knowledge and experience in medical conditions that I would not have previously seen, nurse children who have diseases such as HIV, Malaria, Sickle Cell and gangrene, and also assist in surgery which will all improve my techniques and skills.”

After completing her degree Carla-Marie’s goal is to achieve a master’s degree, and then hopefully A PHD, specialising in oncology and chemotherapy, nursing children with cancer back to health and providing compassionate care to palliative patients.

Before becoming a student CarlaMarie, cared for people with learning and physical disabilities. Each year she runs a charity event and paid her own way to countries such as Thailand to complete volunteer work in orphanages.

Join loving Lisa in a midnight walk Harriet’s “eggscitement” at museum perch

Harriet the hen

Never mind chocolate eggs, Horsham Museum’s hen Harriet lays whole bars of Horsham chocolate.

As you might imagine, laying bars of chocolate is a tricky business, all those corners, so of course she does have to have intermittent Midnight walkers like grateful Lisa Jarvis are being sought for charity fund-raiser in Horsham.

St Catherine’s Hospice is calling on women of all ages to ditch the beauty sleep and join hundreds of others at the hospice’s annual Midnight Walk which starts at 10.30pm on July 2.

Lisa has a special reason for raising money for the hospice. She said: “From the moment my mum stepped through the door at the hospice, until the day she died, she was surrounded by the most dedicated and supportive people you could ever meet. The hospice isn’t a sad or scary place, it’s a calm oasis in a turbulent storm.

That’s why on Saturday July 2, for the second time, I’m rounding up my friends to walk through the

night. Last year was incredible, everything from the entertainment to the organisation was superb. To see so many women come together to support St Catherine’s was so special and I’m excited to be taking part again” With a choice of seven, 13 or 20 miles to walk, the overnight challenge is suitable for women of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels.

Organisers say that with so many women coming together to raise funds for their local hospice the night has an electric atmosphere.

They will be greeted with a welcome drink, ‘goody’ bag and snacks to keep you going throughout the night.

In 2015, 430 women gave up sleep to pound the pavements and raised

£65,000 for the Hospice. This year St Catherine’s is hoping to raise £80,000.

To find out more please visit: www.stch. org.uk/midnightwalk or call the Events Team on 01293 447364.

Entry is £25 per person but those who register before Friday 30 April, with the exclusive discount code MNW1, can take part for just £20. Unfortunately no-one can register on the night.

Give it a try, urges Frances Youngsters need to be encouraged to try things rather than fear failure.

That is the view of Frances Mwale, Prep Headmistress at Farlington School, Horsham.

In her article she gives her views on mental health issues facing children.

“The recent Children’s Mental Health Week was incredibly important for making transparent and explaining the range and extent of situations facing society. I was often riveted to television and radio programmes, as well as drawn to articles, about multitudinous issues in our frenetic, modern world: often a real eye-opener.

Working in a school where pupils have access to professional counselling, our staff feel well supported when addressing the many complex mental health issues that face young people today.

A recent BBC article mentioned children having to deal with family break-ups, bereavement and difficulties arising from drug and substance abuse, not to mention the increased sexualisation and violence that is prevalent in many communities. Hearing that greater funding will be available to provide the desired level of support to all schools, particularly funding for talking therapies, is enormously welcome.

Another significant issue to be tackled is the understanding of and attitudes towards illnesses that are of the mind; mental health awareness initiatives go some way to addressing these.

Sympathy is evident when it comes to a broken bone, illness or condition such as diabetes, but when it comes to mental health, there is still stigma, even prejudice attached and some outmoded viewpoints.

‘Keeping a stiff upper lip’ when facing times of trial and not ‘airing your laundry in public’ are attitudes that still persist. When undertaking mental health training, I was quoted that 1 in 3 of us would at some time in our lives suffer with a mental health issue.

With its very broad range including grief, depression, loneliness and managing anger, I would suggest that at some point in time, all of us do. It is our reaction to life’s trials that can lead to mental

health issues, rather than the issues themselves and so building life skills to promote wellbeing and happiness are, quite rightly, very much in the fore of current educational thinking.

My generation was often kept away from what were deemed ‘adult’ situations; for example, money was never discussed in front of children and attendance at funerals, even those of quite close family members, was often considered inap-

propriate, the importance of the grieving process not fully understood.

Now as adults, how can we help the next generation to come to terms with life’s inevitabilities, if we have not experienced and learned to deal with them ourselves? Teenage anxiety and anger issues were once attributed just to hormones and dealt with more through sanctions than dialogue.

A balance has to be struck between shielding our youngsters from the harsher realities and allowing them to grow through life experiences.

As parents and educators, this can be tricky to navigate.

Hearing that a young person has expressed suicidal thoughts is alarming: ‘did not see that coming’.

However, the Young Minds charity’s statistics suggests that 1 in 4 young people will experience these, and that teenage rates of depression have increased by 70% over the past 25. We read how some groups are far more vulnerable than others: those in care, for example. But this must not let

us close our minds to the fact that children in wonderfully supportive, caring and often affluent homes will also have personal battles.

Unhelpful is the blame culture, where parenting skills are constantly questioned or inadequacies about spotting obvious signs which lead to crisis situations are highlighted. Pressures on young people these days are important contributory factors.

Our young people have ‘never had it better’: there is a wealth of opportunity set before them to travel, to network, to access information and yet along with these, society imposes pressures of conforming, competing and striving for status, often with youngsters being defined by what they do or have, rather than for who they are.

So what are the answers?

It certainly is not acceptable to do nothing. Young people need informing that alongside looking great and keeping healthy, they must also nurture positive relationships and mental wellbeing. Children with a wide social circle, appropriate adults to whom they can turn and excellent role models grow into resilient, happy, self-sufficient and confident individuals.

My school, Farlington, believes in ‘educating for confidence’. This does not come about by keeping our children away from pressured situations; quite the contrary.

They are steered towards having a go, taking a risk and trying something new, but always in the knowledge that a safety-net of support is there. Failing is always a possibility, but in failing there is no shame, rather learning and growth.

Having strong values to underpin the way we live our lives is a vital component: we need to work towards what is good and true and important.

Mental health issues in our society are real and not going away.

Our youngsters need to know that they are cherished, believed and taken seriously, whatever they are going through and this will begin by examining our own attitudes and reactions, as parents and educators: more information, more talk and sharing, more getting issues out in to the open are to be encouraged.”

Julian’s tree journey brings him to Horsham

Shocked Katy raises cash for refugees

Katy is pictured at yoga Caring Katy Thomas was so shocked at conditions in a refugee camp that she raised money for them.

Katy was working as a volunteer at the well-publicised Jungle camp in Calais when she saw the misery of the refugees first- hand.

Katy, a yoga teacher from Rudgewick, has since raised more than £1000 to support Refugee charity Help Refugees.

She says her experience inspired her to take action and gather fundraising support.

Her first charity initiative was a day-long yoga retreat set in the Sussex countryside for local people

interested in yoga and keen to support a worthwhile cause. The retreat was aimed at all levels of yoga practitioners from beginners to those more experienced.

Katy said: “Having spent time volunteering at the Jungle in Calais and experiencing how truly terrible conditions are out there, I felt inspired to try and do something to help. The people out there are living in horrendous conditions and are there because they simply have no other option after fleeing from war and persecution in their own countries. I was particularly moved by the plight of the families who have been separated from

their loved ones and the vulnerable situation that many young children are in. I hope that by using my yoga skills to help raise money I can help in some way.”The fund-raising retreat also included a three-course vegan meal.

Emily Crispin, who attended the workshop, said: “We had a fantastic day. It was wonderful uniting through yoga and raising desperately needed funds for an important cause.”

Katy has been a yoga teacher for two years after making the transition from corporate life in London and Sydney, Australia, to community off-grid living in Portugal after a two month trip to India, training at renowned Yoga Teacher Training School, Siddhi Yoga in Goa. Since then she has been busy building up her yoga business, offering both group and one-to-one classes.

A five year search for the world’s ancient tree will bring author Julian Hight to Horsham later this month.

Julian will be presenting an illustrated talk on the trees and his travels to photograph them followed by a book signing at Waterstones bookshop in Horsham at 6.30pm on March 3.

After the success of his first book “Britain’s Tree Story” for the National Trust in 2011, Julian set off on a five year photographic odyssey to capture 100 ancient, historic trees across 39 countries for his latest book. The book also features remarkable subjects closer to home.

They include the

Author Julian

‘Crowhurst Yew’ at Crowhurst, which is an ancient hollow Yew tree, thought to be about 2,000 years old. It stands on what was King Harold’s manor, and was possibly known to him before his death at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Julian said: “I travelled extensively, from the UK to New Zealand and Australia, Japan to the USA, across Europe and Scandinavia, sourcing the subjects from archive engravings and photographs, and re-photographed them in the present day to add historic context. I am really pleased with the way the book has come out. It looks fantastic and has been very well received.

My hope is that it will help raise awareness of the world’s historic ancient trees and go some way to promote their conservation.”

The result is a celebration of the world’s oldest, largest and most famous trees, and sometimes not so famous, detailing their history, legend and mythology, presenting an extraordinary record of the rich variety of ancient trees surviving around the world, while also telling the human tale.

Firefighters and foam More police officers being recruited Ready to wash

Firefighters in Horsham are set to flex their sponge-squeezing muscles on Saturday as they foam up for a national charity car wash day.

Car washes take place at fire stations up and down the country in March to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity, which is the only official organisation that supports both serving and retired firefighters and their families in their time of need.

Horsham residents and visitors are invited to bring their cars to the fire station on Hurst Rd to receive the full 999 emergency ‘wash and go’ treatment in exchange for a charitable donation.

Holly Beeston, a firefighter at Horsham Fire Station who is

organising the event said: “The Fire Fighter Charity Car Wash is the biggest annual fundraising event in the Fire Service calendar.

It’s a great opportunity for us to help raise money for a charity that relies entirely on the generosity of the local resident and firefighting community.

“It is also a great chance for local residents to come and meet us and have an informal chat so hopefully they can pick up a few extra tips on how to stay safe at home and on the road.”

The event will be from 9am until noon on March 5.

To find out more about the work of The Fire Fighters Charity visitwww.firefighterscharity.org.uk.

Police constables are being recruited after a tax increase helped pay for 100 of them.

The recent increase in what is called the police precept, its equivalent of council tax, paved the way for recruitment to start for the first time for two years.

Sussex Police force is looking to fill new positions with what it calls “passionate and dedicated people” to serve the community.

Chief Constable Giles York said: “Being a police constable is an incredibly challenging and rewarding job. They work closely with the community and undertake activities to help make communities safe, protect vulnerable people and reduce crime.

“I plan to recruit at least 70 new officers this year.

“We are looking for people who understand and share our values and have the drive and dedication to deliver the very best public service. Policing is changing to match the changing demands from the public and we need a breadth of new constables who are willing to meet that challenge. We want a workforce who represent the diverse communities across Sussex and we would welcome applications from underrepresented groups.”

Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne said: “I am delighted to approve a budget that enables the Chief Constable to recruit up to 100 new police officers.

“I have always maintained that protecting neighbourhood policing is a top priority because it mat-

ters so much to communities across our

county.

“The news that the Chancellor would protect police budgets was very welcome but we have had to wait until now to understand exactly what this means for Sussex.

“Sussex Police will continue implementing its Local Policing Programme in order to meet existing and future savings requirements.

“These new officers will be a welcome addition in helping to keep us all safe.”

The application window for police constables opens on Monday, February 29 and will remain open, 24 hours a day, until midnight on Sunday, March 13.

Applicants will not be at any disadvantage if they apply towards the end of the window, as long as their application is received by the deadline.

To find out about the process and what criteria an applicant must meet, please visit www. sussex.police.uk/policing-insussex/work-with-us.

Applicants: - must be aged 18 years or over at the time of application - have lived in the UK for three continuous years immediately prior to application - possess a Full UK Manual Driving Licence - have achieved a standard of education equivalent to A Level - not be a member of the British National Party (BNP) or similar organisations - not have tattoos that could cause offence

Mark’s marathon year for charity To celebrate turning 40 this year Mark Barrett will run 12 marathons in 12 months to help vulnerable people.

Mark, a personal trainer, says he wanted to take on a physical and mental challenge that could push him to his limit. He will also raise thousands of pounds for the charity Home-Start and their work with vulnerable young children and their families in Horsham and surrounding areas.

Mark, whose support for HomeStart has already included running the Brighton Marathon in 2015, said: “I know the hard work that goes into training for and competing in a marathon, but also the satisfaction and elation in completing them, so why not 12 in 12 months!

I’m hoping to raise more than £4,000 for Home-Start along the way. They are a local and independent charity that do tremendous work in the local area supporting families with young children where there are issues such as isolation, neglect, illness, bereavement and disability.”

Mark’s marathon challenge will see him travelling around the UK and throughout Europe, with his first marathon in Barcelona next month.

Mark said: “I’m lucky to be competing in some amazing and iconic marathons, including London, and my final challenge will be the original marathon course in Athens.”

Aneliese Whittaker, events and community fund raiser at HomeStart, said: “We are so grateful to

Mark for making his amazing personal challenge something that will help us support struggling local families. “We’ll be there to cheer him on when he runs the first of his UK marathons in Brighton on April 17 and we hope other local people will support him too.”

Mark, of MBT Fit, can be sponsored on-line for his Marathon effort on his donation page at: http://tinyurl. com/mark-12in If you would be interested in joining Mark as part of the HomeStart team for this year’s Brighton Marathon, or want to know more about other HomeStart fundraising challenges that you could take part in, please call Aneliese on 01293 416327, or visit http://www.homestartchams.org. uk/events/.

Seed workshop being considered A seed saving workshop might be held in Horsham this year to promote seed swapping in the town.

It follows the Seedy Saturday seventh annual seed swap at the Friends Meeting House at Worthing Road, Horsham.

Organisers Transition Horsham said that seeds to swap were not as prolific as in previous years, perhaps due to what they described as the rather odd weather in 2015. But they added that they were thinking of putting on a ‘Seed Saving Workshop’ in the autumn to encourage Horsham gardeners to collect their seed for swapping next year.

BREAKING NEWS CLINICALLY PROVEN TO HELP REDUCE THE EFFECTS OF TINNUTUS

Swappers at session

The event focussed on seed swapping and gardening, and all the local horticultural societies were represented, as well as Horsham in Bloom.

Seedy Saturday has always been keen to promote the green spaces of Horsham and representatives from Warnham Nature Reserve and Chesworth Farm attended. Other attractions included Jeanette Mercer publicising her Kinder Living event on the weekend of July 2-3 which aims to provide ideas and products for a more ecologically friendly lifestyle.

Mr Wignall, executive head chef at sister hotel Gidleigh Park, whom Conor names as his biggest influence, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Conor to the Brownsword Hotels group and wish him every success at Amberley Castle. His classically influenced style, which delivers a grounding which Conor takes forward with modern techniques, produces outstanding dishes and excellent flavours. We look forward to tasting his new menu and seeing what he had his team create at Amberley Castle”.

Conor said: “I’m very much looking forward to starting work with the team at Amberley Castle.

With a brand new kitchen and new menus, I look forward to welcoming both new and returning diners. Both the hotel and restaurant have an excellent reputation and I look forward to growing this further”.

“Yahee!” as pupils learn line dancing

Line dancing

Girls in Farlington School’s Prep 3 class have been working on line dancing.

The unit started with the girls learning a set piece, which they performed altogether as a group. Once this had been perfected the girls worked in pairs to choreograph eight counts of their own work.

The seven- and eight-year-olds at the Horsham school learnt about choreographic devices - elements that can be implemented into the dance to make it more interesting.

Mirror, match, canon and unison, levels and speed were all discussed in relation to the impact within the routine and on the

The Horsham Shelley Probus Club has a new president after a busy year of activities.

Freddie Mullen, pictured on the left, handed over the reins to John Crockford, pictured right.

Shelley is one of five Probus clubs in the Horsham area, and says it likes to think that it has one of the best programmes of events and activities.

The club meets at 10.00am on the second Tuesday of each month at the Roffey Sports and Social Club.

After the business of the meeting there are high-quality speakers covering a wide range of topics. The meeting finishes at about noon, when many members go for a convivial lunch.

A well supported programme of walks normally finds a way of finishing at a local pub for lunch, although winter months such as

group’s bridge guru has been improving the skills of some of the members.

Different skills were deployed at the races at Goodwood, but, for most, the bookies came out ahead.

The club is open to new members who are, or have recently, retired. They would be encouraged to participate, with their wives and partners, in the club’s organised events, and eventually to assist in running the club. For further information, contact Graham Lloyd on: Probus. shelley@ gmail. com

Jemma Wilson, Farlington PE teacher, who led the lessons, said: “These lessons were invaluable in teaching the girls about the theory and practice of dance, not just the steps to a dance. They enjoyed being able to create their own work and explore their own creativity through movement. The girls worked extremely hard and enjoyed the challenges set. I am thrilled with the overall outcome.”

Sharks, Serpents and silk handkerchiefs Neil Arnold Sussex Folklore

A few articles ago I mentioned some strange and curious visitors to the waters around Sussex and would like to continue that expedition.

It’s hard to believe that extremely large fish; of the shark family have been seen in our waters and nothing beats finding an old story – accompanied by a photograph of what was described as a ‘monster whale thresher’ being paraded around the streets of Rye in 1926. The Hastings Observer of 10th July of said year featured a fascinating little photograph showing a large thresher shark which had been caught in Rye Bay; the image showed a small child straddling the back of the beast which lay dead on an old cart and being transported around today much to the joy of several onlookers. It is a shame of course that such unusual visitors to these parts have to be killed but in 1857 an even stranger creature was said to have been seen in the county. The Sussex Advertiser reported that at Boreham Street in Hailsham a cow had been attacked by a ‘serpent’!

Now, serpent folklore in Sussex is known and yet often is a term used to describe escaped snakes and other reptiles, but in the Alnwick Mercury of 1st September 1857 it was reported that a farmer named Robert Pursglove had attended his cattle and found them to have been attacked by a ‘flying serpent of large dimensions’. This most certainly is not the sort of headline you expect to read when in regards to your local town but it is said that at the time ‘most of the villagers had arrived at the spot where the cow, which appeared to have a serpent in her mouth, was dashing about among the others , driving them in all directions.’

The onlookers panicked, but decided that if they could get a clear shot at the projecting monster then a bullet may be the only way to destroy the monster. Of course, many of the onlookers refused to put themselves forward to carry out the deed; all the while leaving the cow to thrash around furiously.

However it was this thrashing around which eventually removed the serpent from the cow; the monster then hastily making its way towards the spectators who scurried in fear. The serpent then made its way to a ditch and by this time Mr Purseglove had called upon an assistant named Vidler who, armed with a gun approached the

Rop es, Sw ings and C lim bin g Thi ngs

menacing beast only to find himself transfixed by its glinting eyes.

Villagers began to return to the scene; armed with an assortment of weapons before a man named Jarman – a blacksmith by trade – grasped the gun and nimbly made his way towards the creature. Never taking his eyes of the slithering beast, Jarman eventually fired at the monster – watching it writhe and coil ad then returned to the crowd; never once taking his eyes off the once flailing and now still specimen. According to the report it is said that ‘the serpent was captured and fixed to the end of a pole and was found to measure in length and breadth nearly four-feet and of black colouration.’

But what was this seemingly hypnotic menace/ Why, ‘nothing more nor less than as fine a black silk handkerchief as any person might wish to place around his neck, and which the cow had by some means no doubt taken from the hedge while it had with other wearing apparel been washed and hung out to dry!’ But of course, not all such strange stories can end so prosaically; take for example the case from Bognor in 1866 when several fishermen claimed to have seen a large menacing fish lurking in the waters of the pier. There were those who did not believe such a tall story until the

emergence of some sort of shark alarmed many; resulting in a full scale hunt for the predatory fish. A young man named Joseph Ragless

was one of man who while armed hunted the beast which eventually headed southwards and was never seen again…

Alexandra Wyver-Northam

Horsham’s Innovative Children’s Boutique!

Business Martin Read – Reporter For young children’s needs, home and away, Horsham’s Fiesta Tots boutique in Piries Place is an absolute must visit shop! And, owner Alexandra Wyver-Northam has exactly the right credentials.

Alex is a mother of three, aged eight and a half, six and a half and three and a very experienced traveller, too, telling the District Post: “The shop showcases my main loves – children, home, travel, family excursions and shopping for clever, innovative and useful ideas!

Using great products at home and getting out and about is a great adventure for kids, allowing them to let off steam, so let’s enjoy it all stress-free and as easily as possible.”

The specialist independent shop stocks a wide range of maternity, nursing and feeding items and equipment for babies. From maternity through to pre-school years, with mny brilliant ideas. Starting with feeding, bathing, sleeping and comfort for both parent and child, Fiesta Tots moves on to hygiene and health and safety products. In addition there are changing and weaning essentials, along with a large selection of baby-wearing options. Little additional niceties

include night lights, sleep clocks, buggy and car accessories and many things to keep tots entertained, too – and comfortable and secure while on the move locally, on the road and much further afield. Alex adds: “Having flown world worldwide as cabin crew, I’ve seen many different ways people have travelled with children. Now I’m a parent myself, I can look at many of those situations differently! Over the years I’ve taken note of things done by cool, calm family-travel experts and added in my own experiences, building up a worthwhile knowledge of various modes of transport and types of accommodation. Hopefully that enables my husband and our staff to offer a wide range of realistic solutions.”

Alex has access to many of the very best suppliers but aims to source as locally as possible, too.

Local Sussex and Surrey brands include Abeille, Avant Baby, Cheeky Rascals, DK Bedding, Great Gizmos, Love Mia and Lou, Maguari and Pipsy Koala. At the same time Fiesta Tots is full of best selling brands from streamlined “Sock Ons”, simple devices to keep those elusive foot covers in place, to the full “Skip Hop” range including cutlery, plates and lunch bags. And the clean, trouble free dynamic and

futuristic new born high chairs are exceptionally functional and easy to maintain.

Alex has a wealth of ideas to make life easier for parents, summing up by saying: “My website and Facebook page always has details of special offers, new products and competitions. It’s lovely to observe customers’ babies growing from bump to toddlers and I look forward to getting to know the next generation, too!” The website – www.fiesta-tots.co.uk – is an absolute goldmine of sound, professional, friendly advice based on practical experience and Alex can also provide Horsham Mummy an excellent pack containing essential information from parenting and baby development courses, nursery school, swimming, dancing singing and play opportunities, a leaflet detailing the best places to feed and change a baby in Horsham and much, much more. Shopping on the internet may be convenient but the opportunity to see, touch and try what you are buying accompanied by free specialist advice is unbeatable and there is nothing better than supporting the local economy at Fiesta Tots in Piries Place – open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.00 – 16.30 – (01403) 217656 – sales@fiestatots.co.uk

Pop Up To Horsham’s Pop Up Shop!

Business Martin Read – Reporter Horsham has some pleasant surprises and several of the best ones can be found at the town’s Pop Up Shop in the former Whittard store next door to Wilkinson on Swan Walk’s upper level.

At the Pop Up shop small retailers have a chance to introduce their products and try out their marketing ideas for a maximum of one month, the peppercorn rent - just to cover expenses greatly reducing their risk.

Horsham District Council, landlords Aviva and Swan Walk management support the venture, which is run by a team of five Directors generously giving their time and expertise to help the budding entrepreneurs sharing the shop space to launch their businesses.

New businesses come in at the beginning of each month, giving shoppers a constantly refreshing array of retail opportunities, but the shop is always happy to welcome back a familiar face for a renewed session.

When the District Post visited last week’s open day at the Pop Up Shop the businesses on display, with an astonishing array of attrac-

tive items, included Hello Birthday Gifts, Infinity Photographic, Bee Cosmetics (“Naturally beautiful skincare sourced from nature”), Britot multi award winning baby carriers, Clever-

stix child development cutlery and Raw Passion organic and vegan body beauty.

Pop Up Director James Wing, an energy efficiency champion displaying some of his own S4U LED Lighting products, told us: “Start up businesses usually begin by working at home, branching out

into exhibitions and then perhaps progressing to selling from a market stall. Here we’re giving them a different chance to showcase their wares - with greatly reduced overheads.”

Hayley Marriott, local MD of Expose Design specialising in exhibition design, arranging events and advising on branding, also relishes being a Director of the Pop Up project, saying: “We’re all happy to share our diverse experience to help get these businesses moving – after exposure here Bee Cosmetics, who are anxious to return to the shop, got a 900% increase in website hits in one day!”

Little wonder that the Horsham Pop Up Shop has been featured on television, and, through the Association of Town Centre Managers, is being courted as a template for Pop Up Britain, attracting interest from as far afield as Wales, where there is the intention to replicate Horsham’s success. Businesses can apply for space in the Pop Up Shop via www. popuphorsham.co.uk – the website highlights details of some of the shop’s success stories, so make sure you visit Horsham’s inspirational Pop Up Shop!

FRIGG (Finland): The international fizzing fiddle septet return to The Capitol this spring on March 10 at 7.30pm.

Named after the Norse goddess of love and fertility, this freewheeling, feelgood septet have created their own captivating style of music – Nordgrass, fusing Nordic folk and American bluegrass.

Frigg’s globetrotting has seen them complete six extensive tours of North America, together with tours of Australia, Japan, Germany, Austria, the Benelux countries, appearances in Malaysia, Spain, Portugal, France and several tours of Switzerland.

‘Embracing everything from

Nashville to Nordkapp, Salzburg to Stornoway, this Helsinki septet manages to sound like a polka band, a rock group, or a Riverdance ensemble, while remaining purely acoustic and firmly string-powered. Four fiddles, an upright bass, guitars and mandos: that’s all there is, but Frigg fill the air, live or on CD.’ Alex Monaghan, Folkworld.

Possibly the most exciting, uplifting, gut-wrenching & hiptwitching band in the Northern Hemisphere. Don’t miss this blizzard of jigs, reels & bluegrass inventions!

Parton sings Parton The Capitol will be delighted to welcome Stella Parton on to theatre stage on March 9 at 7.30pm Coming from one of America’s most creative families since the Hemingways, Stella Parton has blazed her own unique pathway to success. From the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, she emerged from extreme poverty and disenfranchisement, to see her dreams of performing on the Grand Ole Opry come true, and to become an international award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, author and producer.

Stella recently relived those humble beginnings while filming NBC’s made-for-tv movie, Coat of Many Colors. At the request of her sister, Stella served as a consultant on the film, and landed the role of “Corla Bass.” The film is based on her sister, Dolly Parton’s well-known song, “Coat of Many Colors.”

Stella’s first foray into acting was on the hit TV series, The Dukes of Hazzard, where she starred as Officer Price alongside John Schneider, Tom Wopat and Catherine Bach. She was the first country artist to guest star on the show in a character role and since that time she has shared the screen with numerous notables including Louis Gossett, Jr. and Gena Rowlands.

Musically, Stella most recently released, Last Train to Memphis, an album of Rockabilly covers, which coincided with a sold out 4-week Scandinavian tour alongside Billy Burnette of Fleetwood Mac fame.

Earlier in the year saw the release of Buried Treasures, a compilation of never before heard songs that were pulled from Stella’s archive of masters and converted to digital from 2-inch tapes. Stella wrote all of the songs, with the exception of co-writes with Songwriter Hall of Fame, Paul Overstreet and Frank Dycus, as well as her brothers, Randy Parton and CMA award-winning writer, Floyd Parton.

Also an author, Stella released her self-published inspirational memoir, Tell It Sister, Tell It. She opens her soul with her trademark straight to the heart candor and writes about everything from miracles and childhood stories to spine-chilling and terrifying real-life nightmares. As an acclaimed motivational speaker, Stella utilizes this book/audiobook to not only share hope and inspiration, but to help raise awareness in the fight against domestic violence.

This has long been a

cause close to Stella’s heart, having suffered it herself. She established the Red Tent Women’s Conference, a 3-day women’s conference and concert. The launch was a huge success and the organization is currently exploring options and sponsors to host the event in different cities across the United States, Europe and Australia.

Also, currently on bookshelves, is Stella’s third published cookbook, State Fairs & Church Bazaars, which is filled with blue-ribbon winning recipes, church favourites and family specialties, which spotlights the savoury flavours of true Southern delicacies like cracklin’ bread, fried chicken, sausage jambalaya, fried green tomatoes and milk gravy as well as scrumptious dishes like roast rib beef au jus, stuffed squash and lasagne.

Stella’s entertainment career is filled with awards and accolades including being named the Christian Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist and Mainstream Country Artist of the Year, the Alabama Country Music Hall of Fame’s Entertainer of the Year, Most Promising International Act by the CMA/GB, Honorary Ambassador of Country Music in Kentucky, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and New Zealand, not to mention being inducted into the American Country Music Hall of Fame.

One of the very first “Indie” artists, before the phrase was coined, at the tender age of 24, Stella wrote, produced, recorded and secured the promotion/distribution for her very first album, “I Want To Hold You (In My Dreams Tonight).”

Releasing it on her own label, the album and title single became huge hits on the country charts - at a time when the industry was controlled by the major labels and very much a good ole boy system. Stella took Nashville by storm - topping the charts and inciting fear in many that a young single mother from East Tennessee could so quickly become a threat, in spite of the fact that her older sister Dolly was already a nationally known singer/ songwriter. And with that maverick spirit she continued to move forward.

After her first hit record, Stella signed

with Elektra records and had a string of top 20 Billboard singles and albums in conjunction with extensive international touring of the U.S., Canada, UK, South America & Australia. She garnered international awards and acclaim for the pop crossovers, such as “Danger of a Stranger,” “Steady as the Rain,” “Undercover Lovers” and “Four Little Letters.” Stella’s ability to design all of her own costumes in a much more contemporary European fashion and her high energy stage persona, set her apart, leading to her being dubbed country music’s Tina Turner.

During this period, she performed alongside a who’s who of artists and entertainers including, but not limited to, Chet Atkins, George Jones, Hank Williams Jr., Merle Haggard, Ronnie Milsap, Joan Rivers, Johnny Cash, Reba McEntire, The Judds, Kitty Wells, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and Kenny Rogers.

After her days with Elektra, she submerged herself into the thriving theatre scene of New York City, starring in several major Broadway touring productions, including The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Gentleman Prefer Blondes and Pump Boys & Dinettes. The productions were an incredible success, with Stella receiving phenomenal reviews.

Her first cookbook, Really Cookin’, Vol. 1, was a fundraiser for the Nashville homeless situation and partnering with Ingles grocery stores, she embarked on a huge promotional tour. The book was so tremendously successful that it spawned an HSN (Home Shopping Network) partnership and a line of all natural food products.

In the 1990’s, Stella launched Raptor Records to exclusively represent her in partnership with Attic Entertainment. Managing the release of her “Hits Collection” & vintage video series, in addition to her “Blue Heart,” “Appalachian Blues,” “Appalachian Gospel,” “Testimony,” “Tell it Sister, Tell It,” “Resurrection,” “Buried Treasures” and “Last Train to Memphis” albums.

Stella’s career is like a kaleidoscope of creative talent – beautiful, inspiring, heart-warming and full of colour – encompassing everything from music and writing to acting. Thankfully, she has never been one to be held back by the proverbial “glass ceiling,” or any other creative boundaries. Stella’s pure and characteristic blend of country, bluegrass, gospel, jazz and blues, mixed with her sincere and faithful heart, makes her one of America’s richest musical treasures!

Treat that special someone to something special this year

Treat that special someone to something special this year, at the Pre Mother’s Day Pamper Event, in support of Age UK Horsham District.

This Saturday, Age UK Horsham District volunteers will once again be organising their popular Mother’s Day Pamper Event, with all proceeds going to the charity.

The event will take place at the charity’s Lavinia House premises, situated behind the Drill Hall on Denne Road, Horsham.

Why not pop along for a bit of pampering, perhaps bring that special someone for a pre Mother’s Day treat or pick up their present?

Throughout the morning, beauticians will be available to make over hair, nails, feet or make up. There will also be the opportunity to purchase beauticians gift vouchers, cakes and a selection of gifts from local stall holders, as well as refreshments and a raffle.

If you are a local beautician, or sell gifts that might appeal to Mum, and are interested in attending this event, please contact Age UK Horsham District for more information.

Entry is free and all day parking is available for just £1!

Janice Leeming, Chief Executive Officer, says: “We are so thankful

for the support of our wonderful volunteers in organising these fun events. The Mother’s Day Pamper Event will be a fantastic opportunity for people to treat that special someone, or themselves, whilst showing their support of older people in the Horsham District. We’d love to welcome even more people than before to Lavinia House on 5th March.”

Age UK Horsham District provides many services, to ensure older people are getting the help they need, such as their Home Visiting and Information and Advice services, helping people remain independent and healthy. Many of these services are completely free and money raised through this event will help them to continue in the future.

If you would like to show your support, Age UK Horsham District would welcome raffle prizes and good quality donations for this and their future events. If you have anything you think would be suitable, please get in touch to discuss.

If you would like to help or sponsor this event in any way, you can contact the Fundraising Manager by phone: 01403 751304 or email: fundraising@ageukhorshamdistrict.org.uk.

Supply of rental properties at lowest in a year In January there were an average 172 properties available to rent per branch Three in ten tenants were affected by rent increases – the highest since September 2015 The impending stamp duty surcharge caused an uplift in interest from investors hoping to complete sales ahead of the 1st April deadline ARLA issues January Private Rental Sector (PRS) report The supply of rental accommodation is the lowest since records began a year ago, while demand for accommodation rose slightly in January 2015, reveals the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) January Private Rental Sector (PRS) report1.

After a period of gentle decline, the number of properties registered per letting agent branch dropped by five per cent to 172 in January –10 fewer than in December.

Regional winners and losers Supply in Scotland stands above the national average, with 280 properties available per member branch, while the supply of rental properties in London is 59 per cent less, with only 116 properties per branch. However, the capital has seen a slight increase in the number of properties available over the last month, rising from 108 in December 2015.

Demand for accommodation Demand for rental accommodation picked up in January following a seasonal lull in

December, with an average of 31 prospective tenants now registered per branch. However, it has not returned to the high levels reported in January and February last year, when there were 38 and 40 tenants registered per branch respectively.

In line with growing demand, the number of agents reporting rent hikes for tenants increased in January, with three in ten (30 per cent) reporting an increase in rent – the highest since September 2015.

David Cox, managing director, Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) said: “Supply of housing continues to be a problem and tenants bear the brunt of this with more people competing for properties at higher prices.

The majority of tenants find that it is impossible to save very much at the end of the month to put towards buying their own home. Our recent Cost of Renting report2 found that a fifth of those renting in the UK do not expect to ever be able to afford to buy a home, and unless we act soon to build more properties, this number will only get higher.

Upcoming stamp duty changes on additional residential properties Nearly two-thirds (63 per cent) of ARLA members think the Chancellor’s stamp duty reforms

for buy-to-let (BTL) properties will push landlords out of the market, which will in turn cause supply to drop further – and nearly six in ten (58 per cent) believe the reforms will push up rent costs.

However, nearly half (47 per cent) of ARLA agents reported that they have seen an uplift in interest from buyers looking to invest in BTL properties before the 1st April – a rise from 24 per cent from last month.

David Cox continues: “A few weeks into the new-year and the April deadline for the stamp duty surcharge is looming and interest from buyers looking to invest in buy-to-let properties and beat the deadline is ramping up. The final details of the new tax will be revealed at the Budget in March but we are not expecting to see the Government back down on this policy. The findings from our members echo our concerns that efforts to penalise buy-to-let landlords will ultimately impact those entering and currently in the rental market, as by increasing rents landlords will seek to recoup their costs. Rent costs are already rising exponentially, and tenants are feeling the strain of a crowded marketplace. We just need more houses; it’s as simple as that.”

Boro slip to disappointing defeat Saturday February 27 – London 3 South East Burgess Hill 30 - 17 Pulborough Rugby Martin Read – Sports Reporter Pulborough built a promising lead

but then faded badly to lose a game they had hoped and expected to win against lowly Burgess Hill.

After dominating the opening 25 minutes Boro led 17-6 courtesy of tries from Ollie Paige, Will Akers and Luke Kilford – plus a conversion by skipper Simon Burfiend.

But, from there it was downhill all the way, Head Coach Clayton Saunders telling the District Post: “Having created the ideal platform we were still in the game, trailing by just a single point at the break but we lost concentration and let them in. We were short of sev-

eral senior players but it was very disappointing to see them run in four tries and notch up a rare bonus point win. We know what we need to do but need to ensure that we put that into practice! We’ve had a disappointment but are still aiming for a mid table finish. We’re at second placed Bromley tomorrow (Saturday) – that will be a tough game but we beat them at home in November.”

Dame Kelly runs the Horsham parkrun

Dame Kelly Holmes at Horsham’s parkrun

Athletics Dave Snith – Sports Editor Horsham parkrun hit gold this weekend when a double Olympic gold medallist paid them a visit.

Dame Kelly Holmes - who has been using parkrun in her build up to running the Virgin Money London Marathon in April - chose to run at Horsham over two other local parkruns. She joined the other 259 runners on the three lap course in the park and, not surprisingly, finished first Female in 19.47. She then posed for photos and signed autographs before going for an impromptu jog with some of the junior runners. Dame Kelly is running the London Marathon in an

attempt to raise £250,000 for 5 charities. To find out more and to help Dame Kelly reach her target, email hello@kellyscharityheroes. com or visit her Twitter page @ kcharityheroes.

Forty-five Horsham Joggers and a number from Horsham Triathlon Club were among over 8000 runners who completed the Brighton half marathon on Sunday..

Matthew Anstee-Brown and Neil Boniface lead the Horsham Joggers contingent home finishing in an amazing 50th and 51st in 1.18.04.

Chairman of HTC John Birkens said “I am so proud of the club today.

Practically every member got a PB and the best part was that everyone finished with a smile of their face.”

Junior Football Round Up

Steyning Town U13 have reached the cup final

U12 Chesworth Rovers 2 - 3 U12 Royal Utd The dream of a double ended with a semi final defeat for Chesworth Rovers.

Fletch gave Rovers an early 1 - 0 lead and then Toby curled in a corner for 2 - 0. Royals pulled a goal back for 2-1 at the break. Royals equalised after the restart and then with 10 minutes left a free kick from Harry Sutton curled into the top corner for the winner to leave Chesworth beaten for the first time this season.

U16 Southwater 0 – 2 U16 Roffey Robins Athletic Robins booked their place in the cup final by beating Southwater in this U16 plate, semi-final. Joe McGrane opened the scoring with a left-foot volley. Robins’ second followed when Alex Barker fired home from outside the box. The second half produced no more goals due to some fine saves by both keepers although Marcus Laker was unlucky to see his shot hit the bar.

Loxwood Youth 2 - 3 Pevensey & Westham

Sport

got a story? email us at sport@thedistrictpost.co.uk

Loxwood Youth suffered their first league defeat of the season in a top-of-the-table clash that was decided in the final minute. After a goalless first half Loxwood took the lead through Tim Bennett but the visitors came back and equalised.

Michael Murray slotted the ball into the net to restore Loxwood’s lead, only for Pevensey to equalise again.

The match was decided when a last minute Pevensey free kick found the net to take them to the top of the table.

U13 Steyning Town 4 - 1 U13 East Grinstead Meads The sloping pitch and strong wind made this semi-final a game of two halves. Steyning attacked from the start with front two Andrew Younger and Jack Pace causing problems. The opening goal came from Steyning’s Eddie Hyatt who lobbed the keeper and then just before the break Jack Pace scored a second. Meads started the second half strongly but Steyning - in particular, man of the match Cameron King - kept them out.

Cup defeat leaves Horsham feeling hard done by

Horsham’s Commonwealth Games discus silver medallist Jade Lally has qualified for this summer’s Rio de Janeiro Olympics, and has done so in some style.

Jade threw two Olympic qualifying distances in a week, both of which set new English records.

The 28-year-old, who is a member of Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers, threw 64.22m at the Auckland Track Challenge and then followed it up with 65.10m at the New South Wales Championships in Sydney.

Her PB before Auckland had been 60.76m, set in 2011.

65.10m is the longest throw by an English woman since 1983 and a distance that has placed her at number three on the all-time British list and fourth in the 2016 world rankings.

Playing against league leaders Tunbridge Wells on their own pitch was never going to be easy and given that the league fixture saw a resounding 75 – 29 victory for the Kent side, Horsham’s before match expectations were not high.

However the Green & Whites put up a great showing in a tight contest that saw them make life very difficult for the strong Tunbridge Wells team.

Horsham – despite playing up the slope and with the strong wind in their faces – made the best of the early play by winning most of the exchanges. However on 15 minutes the home side’s full back, Pope, started the scoring with a penalty from in front of the posts. Horsham continued to impress with Richard Tredgett and Paul Talbot putting in strong tackles to disrupt the opposition but on 21 minutes a slight crack in the Horsham de-

fence allowed Doherty to cross the line for a try, converted by Pope for 10 – 0, a scoreline that remained until the half time whistle.

Now with the slope and wind to their advantage Horsham pressed and following good play from Talbot, Barber, Rich Tredgett and Harcus, Matt Stone went over for 10-5; the conversion was missed.

Horsham continued to dominate the scrum and lineout but the experienced Tunbridge Wells players managed to make something out of nothing and scored two further unconverted tries on 53 and 60 minutes. The 20-5 deficit was not a reflection of the play and on another day the lead up to the two tries could have been penalised.

Horsham refused to drop their heads and instead totally dominated the remainder of the match, getting some reward when Thompson burst through to score in the right corner for another unconverted try. Final score 20-10, but a good performance from Horsham that on another day could have seen them progress to the semifinals.

Superb competition debut’s for Horsham gymnasts Jade Lally and her record throw Meads pulled one back for 3-1. Jack Pace added a fourth late on to see Steyning into the final.

U12 Horsham Sparrows 0 – 1 U12 Horsham Baptist & Ambassadors Sparrows were narrowly defeated in the semi-final of the Plate competition by Division A side Horsham Baptist & Ambassadors. Sparrows conceded mid-way through the first half but otherwise kept their opponents to long shots which Kane dealt with comfortably.

MoM was Louis.

U14 Horsham Sparrows 2 – 0 U14 Partridge Green Sparrows took the lead half way through the first half from a twice taken penalty by Andrew. Sparrows extended their lead late in the first half when Oliver S forced the ball into the net. The second half was goalless. MoM shared by Nathan and Fraser.

U15 Ashington Cougars 4 – 0 U15 Horsham Sparrows Despite a great first 25 minutes the Sparrows team lost their Plate Semi final to a strong Ashington Cougars team. 2 goals in each half were enough to secure the win for the A division team.

U14 Horsham Sparrows Girls 1 1 U14 Worthing Town Girls After a slow start Worthing took the lead from a corner but Sparrows responded well with a good chance for Esther before Charley scored the equalizer for 1-1 at halftime. The second half was fiercely competitive and a good chance fell to Alice right at the end. GoG was Liberty.

Horsham Sparrows Women A tough game against runaway top of the league team Lewes saw the team beaten away from home in blustery conditions and on an unfamiliar 3G pitch.

Horsham performed well at the NDGA competition

Gymnastics Dave Snith – Sports Editor Horsham Gymnastics Centre entered five gymnasts in the club grade 6 and 5 levels at the NDGA Pre-Grades competition in Tunbridge Wells. Horsham’s Jessica Harmer, Polly Stott and Evie Harris-Duff all competed at the club grade 6 competitions as individuals as well as a team.

Polly competed in the Out of Age category and finished in a very respectable 3rd place, while Evie finished 6th overall and Jess 3rd overall in the In Age section. In ad-

dition, competing as a team, they earned the bronze medal. This was the very first competition for all three girls and the results obtained were highly commendable against some strong competition.

At club grade 5 Horsham was represented in the In Age category

by Morgan Miller who finished 1st overall, winning the competition by nearly 2 whole marks. Lily Garrard competed in the Out of Age club grade 5 category and was placed 1st overall. These girls will compete again at NDGA on March 13 at the South East Regional Club Grade 6 and 5 competitions.

Horsham overcome resilient Loxwood in cup clash Tuesday March 1 – Peter Bentley Cup QF Loxwood 1 – 2 Horsham Football Dave Snith – Sports Editor

Horsham were made to work hard at Loxwood’s Recreation Ground in this local derby cup quarterfinal but eventually progressed courtesy of goals from Kieran Pamment and Evan Archibald either side of a Mark Cave equaliser to keep the Hornets hopes of a double alive.

After some early exchanges that kept both keepers on their toes Horsham took the lead in the fourteenth minute. Kevin Keehan hit a long range effort that moved about in flight sufficiently enough that

‘keeper Sam Smith could only half parry the ball to Pamment who had the easy task of firing his shot into the net.

In what was a lively, all action, end to end game chances came at both ends. Loxwood’s Ryan Richefond shot over without troubling Gareth Williams, ‘keeper Smith saved well from Pamment and Ashley Jones did well to prevent Charlie Pitcher equalising. That equaliser was not long in coming however. With 31 minutes gone Horsham had a rare casual moment at the back which allowed Cave the space to hammer the ball past Williams and leave the tie all square at the break.

Surprisingly the second half did not live up the intensity of the first

and although there were the odd panics at each end both ‘keepers had a much quieter time of things.

Then with the match looking to be a stalemate and extra time 12 minutes away Horsham grabbed the winner. In a move that spanned the length of the pitch Joe Shelley found Pamment who played a long pass through to Archibald who hit a superb effort passed Smith to see the Hornets into the semi-finals.

Attentions now turn to Saturday with the vital and possibly season defining clash with Eastbourne Town at Gorings Mead.

Saturday February 27 - SCFL Premier Div Wick & Barnham Utd 0 – 2 Horsham

It has to be said this was not one of the Hornets finest displays but at this stage of the season it’s all about points and the 3 gained from this ugly encounter have kept Horsham 5 clear of nearest rivals Eastbourne Town ahead of tomorrow’s (Saturday March 5) vital top of the table clash.

A Joe Shelley goal in each half sealed the win against a Wick & Barnham Utd team that sit four places off the bottom and who played virtually the whole of the second half with 9 players.

When on 14 minutes referee YM’s Dave Brown out jumps an Arundel player Saturday February 27 - SCFL Premier Div Horsham YMCA 4 – 2 Arundel Football Tom Norris – Football Reporter Horsham YMCA moved to within a point of third placed Lancing as a brace from striker Phil Johnson helped Peter Buckland’s side to a 4-2 Premier Division win over Arundel at Gorings Mead.

Johnson picked up from where he left off after last week’s fine display away at Littlehampton Town, as he tapped home a low Anthony Hibbert cross to open the scoring just after the quarter hour mark.

The lightening quick forward then capitalised on a terrible Arundel goal kick to double YM’s lead three minutes after the restart, but lively Mullets front man Dave Herbert halved the deficit with just under a quarter of the game remaining. However, hosts’ substitute

Nick Sullivan popped up with his customary goal to restore YM’s two goal advantage just ninety seconds later, before Luke Donaldson added a fourth and Asa Nicholson curled home a late Arundel consolation.

YM manager Peter Buckland commented: “It was a funny old game. We always expect a tough match against Arundel and their 7 and 10 were two really lively players. There were difficult conditions. There’s nothing wrong with our pitch, but the very cold wind has dried it out and so passes were bobbling around a bit. Phil got his two goals this afternoon, the second of which he took really well. I don’t think that the result was ever really in danger, but we were made to work hard. I’m not just saying it, but we did have a tough game on Tuesday night. With the game so close to a really exerting night on Tuesday, I’m thrilled with the three points.”

Blogg pointed to the spot after Matt Noble had brought Kieran Pamment down and then Shelley tucked the penalty into the corner of the goal a repeat of the early season 7-0 Horsham victory looked on the cards, however there was to be no such repeat. Horsham huffed and puffed but without any real conviction and although Wick offered little threat themselves it was uncomfortably tight and nervy for the visitors. At the very end of the first half Horsham’s task was made much simpler when Darren Boswell was tackled heavily from behind

by Scott Towers, a challenge that referee Blogg deemed worthy of a straight red card.

If Wick’s hopes of taking something from the match were low they fell to zero after 7 minutes of the second half when Darren Pearce unceremoniously pulled

down Pamment to earn himself a second yellow and leave his team with just 9 players on the pitch.

Despite their numerical advantage Horsham still failed to make any meaningful breaches in the stubborn 8 man Wick defence, only Dan Simmonds remaining up-field for the depleted home side. It was then somewhat of a relief when Shelley headed home his and Horsham’s second goal from Pamment’s corner.

So another three vital points, and if the same can be said after the final whistle against Eastbourne Town tomorrow then Horsham may well have the season wrapped up.

A winning weekend for Horsham’s men and ladies Saturday February 27 - South League Premier Div 2 London Eastbourne 2 - 3 Horsham Men’s 1st XI South Clubs’ Women’s League Div 1 Woking 2 - 3 Horsham Ladies Hockey Martin Read – Sports Reporter Horsham’s men ground out three vital points keeping up their push for promotion, although, despite the win, they were shaded into third spot by a single goal after nearest rivals Tulse Hill & Dulwich put six past Purley Walcountians.

On the previous Saturday Horsham provided vibrant, exhibition hockey but at Eastbourne the uneven surface mitigated against accuracy while the hosts earned constant yellow cards, ending with only nine men on the pitch.

Eastbourne, though, scored first following a defensive error. Hor-

sham were then unable to take advantage of short corners until Ollie Yeomans managed a conversion just before half time. After the break Freddie Campbell’s skill won another set piece, Matt Hough obliging. Cirdec Atkinson immediately followed up with a corner flick for skipper Duncan Howarth to slot home. Having failed to threaten Eastbourne netted a late penalty, causing some anxiety but Horsham were not to be denied, Team Manager Al Campbell telling the District Post: “This was not a pretty game but we came away with the points, all that really matters – and we’ve got a game in hand.

Tomorrow (Saturday) we entertain Holcombe we’re the second highest scorers in the league and only one team has conceded fewer goals than them so it should be another toughie.”

At Woking Horsham Ladies went 2-0 up in the first half, Lauren Keefe scoring a deflection and

Steph Dent maximising a short corner. The hosts pulled one back following a defensive lapse after the break but Steph Dent then found the net with a field goal before Woking reduced the deficit.
