Nursing home staff suspended after allegations phil dennett News Editor

Two women workers at a Cowfold nursing home have been suspended from duty after assault allegations were made about treatment of a patient.

Police have carried out investigations at Homelands Nursing Home, just off the A281 Horsham Road at Cowfold.

The home has told the Post that it is devastated by the allegations because it is proud of the care it gives. It was recently given a favourable report after a home inspection.

Frances Price, care manager at the home, said she could not discuss details but told the Post on Wednesday: “On Saturday we were given a lot of support from relatives and friends who cannot believe that this has happened here. We are all hoping that this alleged assault is substantiated and that a prosecution will follow. My staff are devastated that this has happened.We provide excellent care from dedicated staff and it is heart breaking to think that due to the actions of these two ‘people’ our home could now be portrayed in a poor light.”

Police were asked to investigate unexplained injuries on one of the residents in the Coach House sec-

tion. The staff concerned do not work in the other section, known as the Manor House.

The popular home, split between the Manor House complex and a Coach House centre for people with dementia, can accommodate 43 patients aged over 65 and its services include nursing care, dementia nursing, palliative care, mental health and learning disabilities.

It recently received a “good” rating by the Care Quality Commission after a visit. Safety at the home, effectiveness, caring and leadership were all rated as “good”, although responsiveness earned it the comment from the Commission “requires improvement.”

Part of the Commission’s report said: “We inspected Homelands Nursing Home on the 14 June 2016. We previously carried out a comprehensive inspection at Homelands Nursing Home on 29 May 2015. We found the provider was in breach of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. This was because we identified concerns in respect to cleanliness and maintenance of the service, people not being treated with dignity and respect and quality monitoring. The service received an overall rating of ‘requires improvement’ from the comprehensive inspection on 29 May 2015. After this inspection, the provider wrote to us to say what they would do to meet the legal requirements in relation to these breaches.

Photo by Phil Dennett Villagers at Cowfold might be getting some relief from air quality problems probably caused by traffic.

Their concerns are being examined by Horsham District and West Sussex County councils, which are are working together to explore solutions.

The village was declared an air quality management area because of its high levels of nitrogen dioxide being detected in the area, which exceeded Government objective levels.

Nitrogen dioxide is an acidic gas that is predominantly caused by road traffic emissions. If a person’s health is good, the levels of air pollution we usually experience in the UK are unlikely to have any serious short-term effects.

But when air pollution levels are consistently high, people with lung or heart problems are at greater risk, especially if they are elderly.

Cowfold is located on the intersection of two main arterial roads, the A281 running north/south and the A272 running east/west.

It is therefore very challenging to reduce traffic emissions in the village.

The Cowfold Air Quality Action Plan Steering Group has met and

is continuing to explore various options to improve air quality and will consider these against both their effectiveness and how easy the measures are to deliver.

Steering group chairman Cllr Roger Clark said: “This is a very

This is a very challenging problem and it is important that District, County and Parish Councils work together to come up with possible solutions challenging problem and it is important that District, County and Parish Councils work together to come up with possible solutions.

The Steering Group plays an essential role for this collaborative working and we are all committed to playing our part in improving air quality for Cowfold”.

The steering group is made up of members and officers from West Sussex County and Horsham District Councils together with a representative from Cowfold Parish Council.

Henry’s small change makes big difference Schoolboy Henry Johnston sees the future better after a simple but effective change in his life helped him win three awards.

Henry, 13, attends Tanbridge House School in Horsham and also spends part of his school week at the town’s Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School which caters for children with severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties, or complex needs.

Like many children with Down syndrome, Henry has problems with his eyesight. But, after an assessment with expert Dr Maggie Woodhouse, he was prescribed bifocal glasses and is now seeing the world more clearly.

Dr Woodhouse, a world expert on vision in children with Down syndrome, is leading a study funded by Horsham -based children’s charity Action Medical Research to help children like Henry see better and attain their full potential.

To mark his improvement Henry started the summer holidays with the boost of receiving a Headteacher’s award for the year and an award in recognition of effort and achievement at Tanbridge House.

He also received an award for overall enjoyment and achievement from Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School.

Henry’s mum Caroline is delighted with his progress: “Henry sees much better now and this in turn means he can work to his full potential at school. I think these fantastic awards show just how much his bifocal glasses are help-

ing him.”

Dr Woodhouse said: “Many children with Down syndrome have vision problems. The children also have a learning disability. If vision problems are not recognised and corrected, there’s a danger that people might think a child’s learning disability is more severe than it is. People might then have lower expectations of the child than they should have, meaning the child’s learning is unnecessarily affected.”

“Children with Down syndrome who struggle to focus on things nearby seem to do really well with bifocals. They see more clearly and do better school work.”

Dr Woodhouse and her team at Cardiff University want to find out why this is and hope that their work will benefit thousands of children.

She said: “Better vision could improve both children’s learning and their quality of life – perhaps giving them a better chance of living independently, for example, or finding suitable employment when they grow up.”

Jules White, Headteacher at Tanbridge House School, said: “I was delighted to give my Headteacher’s Award this year to Henry, as part of our Celebration Assembly for Year 8. Henry has made wonderful progress, in particular with his writing and general communication skills and I am so pleased to have recognised his effort and achievement formally. He is an excellent role model for so many of our students and makes an extremely positive

Nearly 1000 students could be learning in a “Free” secondary school on the edge of Horsham within four years, say developers hoping to build 2,750 homes.

The District Post reported last week that an application submitted by Liberty Property Trust for houses, an education campus, and industrial premises north of the town is likely to be considered by Horsham district councillors early next year.

One of the biggest elements of the scheme will be a new 900-pupil secondary school , which Liberty says it likely to be a “Free”

school and could open by 2020.

The school will be one of the first things built and sit within a new education campus at the heart of the community that will also include a primary school, as well as catering for ‘early years’ and pupils with special education needs. The school project will be partly funded by Liberty Property Trust from an overall infrastructure and community benefits package of about £50 million.

Free schools are not run by councils, although they are funded by central government. They can be run a group of parents,

a charity, universities, teachers, businesses and other groups and are directed at children of all abilities. Among the claimed advantages are setting up their own pay and staff conditions and being able to change the length of school terms and the school day, although no decision has been made about what form the new secondary school will take.

Liberty said in a statement: “Likely to be a Free School, it will cater for 900 pupils and have the potential to expand to 1,200 pupils in the future if West

Sussex County Council, which is responsible for education in West Sussex, needs to create more school places to meet wider district needs.

“Liberty will help to pay for the new secondary school buildings and facilities, as well as providing some land for the new school.

Liberty’s contribution will meet projected pupil numbers from the North of Horsham community itself and Liberty is also making land available to WSCC so it can build the bigger school if needed.”

Continued from front page “We undertook this unannounced comprehensive inspection to look at all aspects of the service and to check that the provider had followed their action plan, and confirm that the service now met legal requirements. We found improvements had been made in the required areas. However, a further area was identified in order to improve some practices in relation to activities and meeting people’s social and recreational needs.

“The overall rating for Homelands Nursing Home has been revised to good. We will review the overall rating of good at the next comprehensive inspection, where we will look at all aspects of the service and to ensure the improvements have been sustained.”

Testimonials on the home’s website praise the care given.

One of many remarks said: “We could not have wished for mum to have been looked after in a more professional, but homely caring environment.”Another said: “We as a family felt that she was in safe hands and very kind care.”

Sussex Police told the Post: “Staff at the home alerted police when they noticed that an 88-yearold woman had suffered cuts and bruising around lunchtime on Friday, July 29.Two women, a 55-yearold from Henfield and a 47-yearold from Storrington, have been arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. They have both been bailed to October 27 while enquiries continue.”

Museum brings in kids play and display The well-worn expression ‘Seen but not heard’ is a Victorian mantra that Horsham Museum says it has thrown out along with many other traditional views of what a museum used to be like.

Now thanks to a grant from the Arts Council and a substantial amount of work by a small team of volunteers, the museum has created a young family-friendly space Play and Display. It says unlike the Victorians it wants to hear the sounds of happy children.

Each year the space will change its theme and this year it is dinosaurs.

A “fun” robotic dinosaur with a rose in its mouth will greet the smallest of visitors.

Adults might love the site of the ‘talking point wall’ which houses toys they would have played with, allowing them to tell their children about precomputer toys.

The children can take part in this interactive experience

by playing with toy dinosaurs or building blocks. Those who love reading with someone older can sit at a 1920s desk and read a variety of books.

All the toys and books have been donated for this Play and Display space.

Those children who wish to show off their artistic talents can display their creations on an art wall, with the best picture put each week on the museum Facebook page.

These though are just some of the aspects of this new space - it is also the chance to sit out in the museum courtyard and relax while children play happily, from dressing up to creative colouring-in. And there is also a dinosaur trail to discover escaped dinosaurs scattered throughout the museum. On Mondays, through the summer holidays , the play zone hosts Dinosaur fun sessions, with booking advisable in advance and on July 30 and on August 20 there is face painting.

Rail deaths trespass warning

Longer evenings, coupled with summer holidays, spell danger for Britain’s youth as national statistics show young people are twice as likely to trespass at this time of year than in the winter .

This summer, British Transport Police and Network Rail are reminding teenagers and young adults about the dangers of going on the tracks.

Over the past 10 years, almost 170 young people in the UK have lost their lives after trespassing on the railway. The data shows

A warning is being issued to young people in the South East as figures show rail trespass is on the rise across the region.

In response to the seasonal surge in incidents, officers from British Transport Police are stepping up patrols across the region.

In the last three years, there has been a seven per cent rise in the number of reports of trespass over the summer .

In the Brighton area cases have risen by more than 15 per cent since 2013.

that just under half of those killed are under the age of 25.

Alice Morton from Network Rail, said: “We are reminding young people that if they are on the railway, they are on dangerous ground. It may seem like a good idea to take a shortcut, or like fun to play on the tracks, but this is not only illegal, it is also dangerous.

“Britain has the safest railway in Europe but still too many people lose their lives on the tracks.

As the railway gets busier and we electrify more lines to improve services, we must work harder to keep young people safe by making them aware of the dangers that exist. Taking a short cut or messing around on the tracks can result in serious life-changing injuries or death.”

• 72% of all trespassers who died over the last 10 years were struck by a train • Another 17% were electrocuted • The others fell from structures or trains.

Most trespassers highlight taking a short cut (42%) as their main motivation for committing the crime, followed by thrill-seeking (19%).

Chief Inspector Tom Naughton said, who is responsible for BTP’s response to trespass in the, said: “The last thing our officers want to do is knock on someone’s door to tell a parent their loved one has been killed or seriously injured as a result of trespassing.”

Joust the weather as Mediaeval magic thrills Loxwood The bustling Loxwood Joust spins into its second weekend of action on Saturday and Sunday after a sunshine start.

Hundreds of fans thrilled to the jousting and other entertainments at Loxwood Meadow just off the B2133 between Wisborough Green and Loxwood last weekend.

For eight packed hours each day the crowds enjoyed a dashing taste of Mediaeval times, which were tough, often cruel, but brightened by the excitement of the joust.

The youngsters in the crowd thrilled to the sight of deadly weaponry, archery and cannon fire, and the impressive knights meeting their opponents in combat in shining armour.

The gentler side of the era was reflected on stage by the singing group Mediaeval Babes and by the bustling market place, often a scene for exchanging news and gossip centuries before the days of good transport and telephones.

News usually arrived on horseback.

There was plenty of hands-on entertainment, including having a go at archery, pelt the peasant and a newly introduced sword school where people can learn to be an apprentice knight.

All this and a lot more will be exciting crowds again this weekend in the second instalment of the Loxwood Joust. The Post features a taste of the action on these pages.

Beatrice Potter prize is carrot in the stew

Wisborough Green Primary School won second place in a local competition celebrating the life and writings of Beatrix Potter with its new eco greenhouse and garden.

The Rotary Club of Billingshurst held a Beatrix Potter Garden competition in honour of the author’s 150th birthday anniversary and awarded the school second place.

Over the last two terms, students, teachers, parents and friends of the school have built an eco greenhouse using 2000 plastic bottles, cleared the garden area of weeds, dug over metres of soil, planted hundreds of

seeds, put up dozens of garden signs, cut back plants and herbs and created a beautiful vegeta-

It really was an amazing team effort and I can’t thank everyone enough for their involvement and commitment ble garden with Peter Rabbit’s favourite vegetable, the carrot.

Wendy Saunders, a teacher at the school, was responsible for getting everyone organised. She said: “It really was an amazing team effort and I can’t thank everyone enough for their involvement and commitment.

“In particular the school would like to thank Covers at Horsham who donated the wood for the greenhouse frame, Billingshurst Rotary Club for donating the seeds for the garden, the Wisborough Green Horticultural Society for donating £100 towards strawberry plants, parents Mr Dale and Mr Ramplin for designing and building the greenhouse, and Henry in Year 4 for bringing in the finishing touch of the Mrs Tittlemouse statue.”

Head Teacher Amanda Harrison said: “In a spectacular example of eco awareness and team effort to create the garden and greenhouse, you could say the second place in the competition was the icing on the cake – or the carrot in the stew.”

Rotary sheds stuffy image, says new president Rotary has shed its old stuffy image, says a former airline captain after being chosen as the new president of Storrington and Pulborough Rotary Club.

Mike Barker said after his appointment: “Our motto is “ Service Above Self” and I am a great believer in the power of Rotary to make a real and positive difference to the world. Storrington and Pulborough District Rotary club is a vibrant, friendly and informal club with a long and proud history of helping both our local and International communities through fund raising and practical works. Gone is the stuffy, men only formality of yesteryear.

Rotary, I’m delighted to say, has adapted to the demands and fashions of the modern world becoming a fun, inclusive and flexible organisation.

“We have a busy pro-

gram of events planned for the next 12 months and would love to hear from anyone, men or women and of any age, who enjoy serving the community and might be interested in becoming a Rotarian themselves.”

Mike has been a Rotarian since 2004. He has actively supported a number of other charitable organizations over the years and amongst other things is a frequent speaker and fundraiser for Kent Sussex and Surrey Air Ambulance, National Trust volunteer and Pulborough Transport driver. Since retiring Mike has taken up golf and walking football and continues to enjoy travelling the world at every opportunity.

Walking football is smash hit

Walking football is proving so popular that a village has introduced a second session next month to cater for demand.

A local charity has funded new equipment for walking football at Impulse Leisure Chanctonbury as the centre copes with the popularity of the non-contact sport.

Designed for the older 50s, walking football is a slow-paced, non-contact version of what pundits so often call the beautiful game. With no running or jogging allowed during play, the activity is ideal for those who cannot play the traditional game because of injury, a lack of mobility or other reasons.

The game has proved popular with ex players of school team or local football standard or even below who thought their match days were long past, but now

enjoy kicking a ball around again, in some cases for the first time in many years.

Age UK and Chanctonbury Lions Club launched walking football at Impulse Leisure Chanctonbury in Storrington in January. The weekly class costs just £2.50 and now has more than 20 regular players at each session who have the opportunity to socialize over a coffee at the end of the class. Such is the demand for the activity that a second class will be introduced at the centre in September. Now Chanctonbury Lions Club has donated £500 from its fundraising work for the purchase of five-aside goal mats and footballs.

Jez Charlton, centre manager at Impulse Leisure Chanctonbury at Storrington said: “Walking football is a great way to keep active while having fun and

meeting new people. The class at Chanctonbury has proved extremely popular and we’re very happy to be offering a second session giving more local people the opportunity to enjoy it.”Walking football take place at Impulse Leisure Chanctonbury every Tuesday from 14.00 – 15.00. The new class will run every Monday from 14.00 – 15.00 starting on September 12.

Minute’s silence for Shoreham air crash victims Flowers will be laid and a minute’s silence held on August 22 to mark the first anniversary of the Shoreham Air Show tragedy.

The events will take place on Shoreham Tollbridge at 1.22pm, marking the exact time the tragedy happened.

The families of the eleven men who lost their lives have been given details of the events.

Louise Goldsmith, Leader of West Sussex County Council, who will be amongst those laying flowers at the tollbridge, said: “Throughout the last year our thoughts have been with the families who lost loved ones. This tragedy has had a massive impact on the community and touched so many lives.

“It is right that one year on we are coming together again, laying flowers and holding a minute’s silence so that we can have a time of reflection.

“I know that across Shoreham, around West Sussex and further

afield, people will also be remembering those who died.”

West Sussex County Council will also mark the minute’s silence across all of its offices and flags will be flown at half-mast at council buildings.

Other minute silences will also be held around the county including at Adur Civic Centre.

Local churches will also be coming together to hold a church service for the community at 11am on Saturday 20 August at St Mary de Haura. The service has been organised by Shoreham Churches Together.

The wooden tollbridge at Shoreham became a focal point for the community in the wake of the tragedy with hundreds of bouquets of flowers laid in memory of those who lost their lives.

Flowers and other items left on the tollbridge to mark the one year anniversary will be cared for and then moved after a week to a temporary memorial area.

New Sprinter racing to rescue Residents of Horsham district could soon see the UK’s first specially-equipped 6x6 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter racing to the rescue.

Fire and rescue crews in West Sussex will be using the ground-breaking vehicle, which can adapt to difficult terrain and carry a greater range of technology to help firefighters effectively deal with a wide range of incidents.

This includes ultra-high pressure 100 bar, 38 litres a minute pumps, batterypowered hydraulic rescue gear, medical response equipment including a defibrillator, and comprehensive communications systems.

The vehicle will be based at Midhurst Fire Station, where crews cover a large and relatively rural area, but it can deliver a crew of up to five firefighters to any incident in any weather across the county.

The new 6x6 also has a 1,200-litre tank, which will allow crews to tackle difficult to

reach heath or forest fires with water or foam for around half an hour before needing to refill.

It has been adapted to travel through deeper water than a standard 4x4 and can carry up to an additional 1.8 tonnes of equipment as and when specific incidents require, which can be lifted via a hoist mounted on the back.

The vehicle was developed by German specialist Oberaigner and was commissioned, alongside a 4x4 Sprinter, which will operate from Storrington, from local dealer Rossetts Commercials.

Additional capabilities have also been built into the 4x4, which will carry Environment Agency spill kits and swift water rescue equipment.

Acting Assistant Chief Fire Officer Kieran Amos said: “Our new 6x6 and 4x4 vehicles give us greater flexibility than we have ever had before and represent a new concept for us, in terms of equipment carried and operational capacity.

“Most importantly, our vehicles have to meet the needs of the firefighters who will be using them and enhance the response we can provide to communities in times of need.”

Skyfall for daring fundraisers

A group of St Catherine’s Hospice staff is taking to the skies as part of the hospice’s first ever tandem skydiving challenge.

To help celebrate 33 years of St Catherine’s supporting terminally ill people and their families and friends in the local community, five members of staff have signed up to take a leap of faith on August 20 at the old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury.

Amongst them is Community Fundraiser Emily Bradbury. As a professional fundraiser she has decided to take part to help inspire other supporters to reach new heights for the hospice.

Emily been preparing for her skydive by trying out outfits that will get her used to her jumpsuit, using a onesie, bicycle helmet and swimming goggles as substitutes. She said: “As a fundraiser at St Catherine’s I encourage and support others in the community to fundraise so thought it really is about time I did some myself.

I feel privileged to work at St Catherine’s and to see first-hand the incredible care and support the hospice gives to people across the local community, providing services for patients, families and friends, both within the hospice and in their own homes. These services are delivered free to all those who need us, but cost more than £17,000 a day to provide, which is why it is so vital to raise as much money as possible so that we can continue to be there for all those facing an end-of- life illness.”

Beverley Russell, who works part-time in St Catherine’s Human Resources team is also showing her support by taking to the skies. She said: “I am doing a skydive for the second time, the first being in 1973. Last time, it went too fast so I want to sit back and really enjoy the ride this time.

Emily and Beverley can look forward to flying 10,000 feet through the clouds at speeds of up to 125

miles an hour and freefalling for about 30 seconds.

Michaela Clements, events fundraiser at St Catherine’s said: “It has been great to see the support from staff for our first ever skydive. I never knew there were so many adrenaline junkies around the hospice but I am really looking forward to cheering them on in August.

“Every day, Emily and Beverleysee the difference people taking on challenges like this make to our patients and I hope their bravery will inspire other people in the local community to come forward to skydive for St Catherine’s.

Anyone who would like to support Beverley or Emily in their skydive challenges may donate on their JustGiving pages here: https:// www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ BeverleyDRussell-2016 or https://www.justgiving.com/ fundraising/Emily-Bradbury

It will be a family affair when Robert Ebdon sets off on a 299 mile cycle ride to Paris for charity.

Robert, 50, from Horsham, is gearing up for the four-day challenge next month for Crawleybased St Catherine’s Hospice.

Robert’s family has a long history of supporting the hospice.

tion and he was also Vice-President of St Catherine’s. Robert was involved with the design of St Catherine’s Education Centre and car park and his sister, Liz, volunteered in the hospice kitchen.

Speaking of his motivation for hitting the saddle Robert said: “Following a big heart attack in 2010 and declining health ever since, my father, John was admitted to St Catherine’s for end of life care in August last year. For us, it was a real feeling of coming home. From the moment we stepped through the door of St Catherine’s, everyone we met was so reassuring and my father’s care was personalised. It was nice knowing that Dad knew where he was, even towards the end. Staff enjoyed seeing the photo albums that we brought in which included memorable photos of the hospice being built, including the Queen Mother laying the hospice’s foundation stone and Princess Diana visiting St Catherine’s. I can’t think of a better cause to raise money for and as my wife very kindly splashed out on a new road bike for my 50th birthday, this challenge seemed like the perfect match. It is going to be the trip of a lifetime.”

Starting in London on September 21 he will ride to Dover, catch a ferry and then begin the ride from Calais to the French capital.

On the way he will enjoy cycling along quiet French country lanes and through traditional market towns, where he will have picturesque views of Northern France’s rolling green hills before finishing at the spectacular Eiffel Tower.

Help still at hand in West Sussex centre for brave fliers Seventy-five years ago a handful of airmen, mostly Battle of Britain pilots with severe burns, bonded together to form the Guinea Pig Club after being treated at a pioneering centre in the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead.

This club of young men, the surgical ‘guinea pigs’ of pioneering plastic surgeon Sir Archibald McIndoe, would grow to total 649 Allied airmen with 80% of its members having served in Bomber Command, some of them from West Sussex.

The members of the Guinea Pig Club changed the public perception of injured and disfigured servicemen in the post-war years and later served as mentors and examples to new generations of burned service personnel in the Falklands, Iraq, and Afghanistan conflicts, including honorary Guinea Pig Simon Weston. The club continues to the present day to provide the Guinea Pigs with camaraderie, encouragement, and assistance in times of need.

Now, the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, which has assisted the Guinea Pigs continuously since 1941, is preserving the legacy of the Club by sharing their stories through a series of blogs, videos, and photos at www.rafbf. org/GuineaPigClub. The charity is encouraging the public to join in the celebration of the Club’s 75th anniversary by leaving messages of thanks and appreciation for the Guinea Pigs at the same site. The messages will be collected in a

Book of Gratitude and presented to The Guinea Pig Club later this year.

Actress Amanda Redman, who suffered severe burns as a young child and was treated at the same hospital as the Guinea Pigs, benefitted from many of the techniques that were developed on the Guinea Pigs years before. She is supporting the efforts of the RAF Benevolent Fund to preserve their legacy.

Amanda said: “The Guinea Pig Club did not hide away from their injuries; encouraged by Sir Archibald they embraced their survival and went on to become an inspiration for future generations of service personnel to lead full lives after injury in conflicts such as the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan. Throughout that journey the RAF Benevolent Fund has been by their side, in its mission to provide vital welfare support to the whole RAF family.”

Ninety-six year old Des O’Connell, a beneficiary of the RAF Benevolent Fund and one of the founding members of the Guinea Pig Club who is featured on the website, suffered severe burns when his Whitley bomber crashed in 1941 on a mission to sink the Bismarck, the famous German battleship.

Des was sent to the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead and for more than two and a half years underwent operations, skin graphs and mental rehabilitation to help with social reintegration within the local community.

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

Des recalls: “Sir Archibald looked at us and said ‘Right you are now all members of the Guinea Pig Club.’ The club gave me many things, a standard of friendship, confidants; we really opened our hearts to each other.”

Regarding the RAF Benevolent Fund’s efforts to preserve the legacy of the Guinea Pig Club, Des continued: “It’s jolly nice to be made a fuss of.”

Air Marshal Chris Nickols, RAF Benevolent Fund Controller, said: “The Guinea Pigs embody the spirit and camaraderie of the RAF, retaining their fantastic senses of

humour in spite of their extreme circumstances. It is inspiring to see how they continue to encourage service personnel with injuries from more recent conflicts. It really is fantastic to see them celebrate 75 years and it is an honour for the RAF Benevolent Fund to club members continue to support the Club and its members, as we have done every year since it was formed.”

Focus on the Art Class of 2016 Pictured are examples from the exhibition.

An exhibition of work by gifted students from Collyer’s Adult Education, called The Art Class, will take place at Roffey Park Institute from September 1-30.

The exhibition is a continuation of the June exhibition at The Capitol in Horsham and will feature additional works comprising a book installation and further icon pieces.

Following on from a successful exhibition at Horsham Museum last year, students from the Horsham college have once again worked in a range of media, with this year’s theme focussing on religious artworks of the past. The ideas explored for ‘Above and Be-

low’ inspired students to produce stained glass style textile works in an eclectic range of styles, beautiful icon paintings on wooden panels and mosaics. The exhibition also includes Madonna and Child ceramic sculptures, installation of art books and sculptural drawings.

Tutor Helen Bolger said: “For the majority of students, the opportunity to explore ideas across a range of media is important.

For this exhibition, an explosive use of colour has been used, often through unconventional painting techniques such as using hands, card or rags to replace the traditional use of brushes. Inspirational models arose through graveyard sculptures, adding an ethereal

feel to the works.”

The students exhibiting are Robert Wharton, Sam Martin, Nancy Garner, Paul Garner, Carole Duffy; Sue Stooks, Eve Richings, Judith Heywood, Alessa Taboga; Jill Coombs, Jana Bowhill, Natascia Mariotti and Lisa Jacques.

Collyer’s Vice Principal, Steve Nicholls said: “Congratulations to Helen and these outstanding students for representing Collyer’s so brilliantly. We have a superb faculty for Art and I’m delighted that these outstanding pieces can be exhibited for all to enjoy. Huge thanks to Helen and all of the Art Class – they are indeed a class act”

No lights not bright A young woman from Lower Beeding was one of four drivers police saw driving without lights at night in the space of five hours.

Each of them failed a roadside breath test and ended up being banned from driving after being taken to court.

In a report on the incidents police said that Alix Dunlop, 23, an animal beautician, of Leechpond Hill, Lower Beeding, was arrested in Leechpond Hill, Lower Beeding, at about 4.20am on July 10 and charged with driving with 98mcg of alcohol per 100ml of breath in her system.

She pleaded guilty at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on July 25 and was disqualified from driving for 24 months. She was also ordered to pay a £307 fine, £85 costs and a £31 victim surcharge.

Sergeant Phil Badman, of the Surrey and Sussex Police Roads Policing Unit, said: “It goes without saying that being under the influence of drink or drugs can seriously impair your ability to drive. “Typically, your reaction times are dramatically reduced, and the effects of your lack of judgement could easily lead to a collision.

“Worryingly, the motorists convicted in these cases were

unable to operate even the most basic of facilities in their vehicles, which in turn brought them to the attention of police.

“It demonstrates that no matter how capable you think you are of driving with drink or drugs in your system, the chances are you are in no fit state to get behind the wheel.

“It also shows that we continue to stop vehicles throughout the year – not just during dedicated drink or drug-driving campaigns – for a number of reasons.

“Our advice, as always, is never to drive while under the influence. The consequences can be devastating and it’s simply not worth the risk.”

People in Sussex can text officers on 65999 with the details of people they suspect of drink or drug driving or visit www. operationcrackdown.co.uk.

They can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 (www.crimestoppers-uk. org).

To keep up to date with officers looking for drink or drug drivers, follow #opdragonfly on Twitter.

If anyone knows someone is driving while over the limit or after taking drugs police say they should call 999.

Aurora Fireworks enters British Championships

Business Martin Read Aurora Fireworks are always busy with over 100 major displays a year but next Wednesday August 17 is a big red letter day for the Wisborough Green family run company.

At 9.30 that evening they are competing in the British Fireworks Championships at Plymouth, Aurora founder Rob Byles telling the District Post: “We’ve had to go through a rigorous selection process and this is the first year that we’ve been selected - this is a massive accolade for us to get into the competition! 200,000 people watch the show and we’re opening the second day of the event. We’ll be letting off 540 kilos of powder in a very intensive 10 minutes, so it’ll definitely go with a bang!”

After working on numerous firework displays, Rob decided to set

up his own company and launched Aurora in 1985. It is very much a family business, run with Rob’s wife Paula and sons Steve and Jason, and up to 40 friends called in to help with shows, especially in the weeks around November 5, when some 60 outstanding presentations are staged, Rob saying: “I’ve always got great pleasure from creating enjoyment for people and it is really special to be able to work with my family and friends – nobody works for me, we all work with each other.”

With annual shows at Horsham Cricket Club, Billingshurst and Crawley, Aurora are well known locally – and much further afield with major sell out displays at prestigious venues like Goodwood House, Highclere Castle, home of Downton Abbey, and Sussex County Cricket HQ at Hove – and far beyond, all over the UK and even as far as Portugal. Aurora have often provided their spec-

solicitors

tacular entertainment at hotel functions, and for celebrities, too.

Whether Aurora are preparing a colourfully designed wedding celebration – putting a highly memorable icing on the cake, a bespoke corporate demonstration or a bonfire night extravaganza, their approach is always meticulous – thorough planning and attention to detail starting with careful consideration of the client’s individual wishes and a site visit to conduct a risk assessment and to see whether the surroundings lend themselves to a special approach.

Safety and care for the environment, especially if animals are in the vicinity, are among the key issues addressed while breaking innovative ground. Synchronised pyromusicals are a very popular element of Aurora displays, with Rob selecting the music and Steve and Jason using the necessary software to create the display.

District Jobs and Skills Fair returns

I’ve always got great pleasure from creating enjoyment for people and it is really special to be able to work with my family and friends departing through a grand avenue of cascading firework fountains and lancework projecting names up in lights are other trademark features that Aurora arrange. All of Aurora’s activities are fully insured and they pride themselves on their extensive post-firing clean up services – everything is taken care of – and the company even has a lovely retail shop with expert advice available for those wishing to buy their own fireworks.

Fireworks are in Rob Byles’ blood and he pursues his calling with infectious enthusiasm, quipping: “If you can’t be at Plymouth to witness our fantastic display in the competition, don’t worry we’ll be repeating part of it for the finaleof our show at Horsham Cricket Club on Saturday October 29!” A glance at the client feedback on Aurora’s website confirms a high degree of customer satisfaction, clearly nobody does it better and Rob and family are happy to provide free, no obligation quotes.

Local job hunters and employers will come together for Horsham District Council’s second Jobs and Skills fair, hoping to find that perfect match.

Following the success of the first Horsham District Jobs and Skills Fair in September 2015, employers offering jobs, apprenticeships and career opportunities, will once again showcase their opportunities and meet with local job hunters at the Drill Hall in Horsham on September 14, from 11am to 5pm.

The Fair, organised by Horsham District Council in partnership with The District Post, Horsham Jobcentre Plus and

The College of Richard Collyer, will be a great opportunity for those seeking a job, thinking of changing their existing one or considering on-the-job training, through an apprenticeship, to meet a wide range of employers eager to recruit and grow their organisations.

This year sees more than 30 employers showcasing their opportunities, including Gatwick Airport, AJW Aviation, Spofforths, Place for People Leisure, British Army and Trend Control Systems. This is an increase on last year’s fair.

Once again there will be bitesize workshops designed to help people improve their employability skills and job prospects. Additionally, employers will have the opportunity to sit down with prospective employees in a separate 1 to 1 meeting area to discuss careers, and a café space will be available to all.

If you’re on a quest for that first job, a change of direction or some career advice, or know someone else who might be, this year’s Horsham Jobs and Skills Fair may well provide the means to an end and the beginning of your journey to work and a fulfilling career.

Come on down to Bradley Stoves Bradley Stoves Outdoor Cook Centre will be holding another demonstration cook day on Friday 12th August, show cooking on the Ozpig and the Kamado Joe. I attended their last event in April this year, the show stopper was a really tasty whole PIRI chicken cooking on the rotisserie on the stunning and robust BBQ from Ozpig, I love this little, yet powerful product, it delivers exceptional BBQ grilling and cooking! There is also fabulous warmth from within the safely contained wood chamber, great for when the nights chill off a little. It’s great to gather round with friends and family, putting on the perfect outdoor entertainment. You can also hit the road with your Ozpig as it a great fishing and camping companion. With a combination cooking options you can BBQ and grill, oven cook, wok and best of all this does rotisserie cooking, the Chicken was delicious.

Sausages, stuffed peppers, garlic mushrooms and roasted vegetables will take the limelight on The Kamado Joe. The Kamado Joe is

famous for its superior cooking performance as it maintains temperature, cooks quickly, whilst keeping your meat moist! This really is the King of BBQ’s and would look fantastic in any garden or patio as they range from the Joe Jr to Big Joe. The food will have a delicious wood-fired flavour dependent on what type of wood you use, from succulent steaks to cooking your Christmas turkey, the Kamado Joe will take barbecuing to a new level and you’ll be using your grill all year long!

Being lovers of the great outdoors, and al fresco dining, The Outdoor Cook Centre have increased their range of products to include pizza ovens, outdoor kitchens, barbecues, chimineas and the Bradley Smoker. They have a wide range of ovens and outdoor equipment on show, including the Bradley Smokers, and ovens from Alfa Pizza, Morso, Bronpi, and Gardeco’.

For more information or to arrange a viewing, call the team at Fowlers, Storrington on 01903 745844.

Why Summer is a great time to sell A number of factors combine to make summer one of the best times of year for homeowners to sell a property.

Property specialist Leaders has identified August as a key month in the sales market, with warm weather, a buoyant market and the increased time available to families all working in favour of sellers.

Kevin Shaw, national sales director at Leaders, says: “There are plenty of reasons that make this time of the year the ideal time to sell. For instance, being able to show off your property at its very best is a vital selling tool and this is most easily achieved during the long and bright days of summer.

“In addition, people are happy to get out and about in summer and this is reflected in a surge in the number of viewing requests we typically witness at this time.

The season also provides an ideal opportunity for sellers to carry out minor renovations and repairs to ensure their home is in top shape before hitting the market.”

Kevin has highlighted three reasons that make summer the perfect time to get a property on the market: 1) Enhanced kerb appeal A great way to enhance the appeal of a home and to potentially

increase its value is to show it off on a sunny day when the trees are green and the flowers are blooming. Spending a little time and money on quick fixes - such as trimming the bushes, painting the front door and mending the fence - helps homeowners to achieve greater kerb appeal and make their property more desirable.

2) Beat the rush A number of people opt to wait until their children go back to school in September before they feel ready to put their home on the market.

Those who go ahead and instruct an agent to sell their property in August gain a crucial head start and are able to reach out to a large pool of prospective buyers at a time when there is less competition on the market.

3) Move in time for Christmas The typical property sale takes 12 weeks to go through the conveyancing process, while it may also take a short time to find a buyer. As such, putting a property on the market in August is the only way to feel incredibly confident that a move will be completed in time to spend Christmas in a new home.

For more information on selling a property this summer, please contact your local Leadersbranch or visit leaders.co.uk.

Over £550 raised for McMillan in Horsham’s Jofra Archer Pulborough’s Penny Rhoder Cup awarded Sussex contract Winners of the Penny Rhoder Cup Cricket Martin Read - Sports Reporter

Bowls Jane Gray - Pulborough BC Pulborough Bowls Club, and friends and family of Jeff and Penny Rhoder, came together to remember Penny and raise valuable funds for McMillan Cancer Support.

Experienced bowlers were paired with less experienced or first time players in games of triples or pairs over a short format. The top 2 triples played off for the win, with Pauline Adsett, Alan Sealy and Steve Adsett coming a close second to the overall winners of the Cup, Amy Parker, Chris Rogers and Paul Day. £550

for McMillan was raised on the day and the club thanks local business Hamilton and Cole for donating raffle prizes and to everyone that made the day such a huge success.

As the 2016 season approaches its climax the West Sussex Bowls League sees its last few games to decide the top spots in each division with 2 more games being played this week, the first was at home to Storrington. Alan Jordan and team won 18/12 despite their opponents taking 5 late shots.

Easily the top rink of the day went to Skip, Len Adsett, with lead, Mick Ayling, number 2, Roger Jupp and number 3, Colin Pardy,

who secured a huge 30 points to 14 win. The final result was another 8 league points for Pulborough and a convincing 83/57 score line.

Pulborough then hosted top of the table East Preston who came away with a narrow overall win, 74/67. Thanks to wins by Paul Day’s team and John Brown, with Adey Stratton, Fred Bushby and Chris Etherington as top rink, Pulborough managed to secure another 4 league points. The week ended with 4 triples playing 18 ends of bowls against familiar rivals. Despite the lead changing on all rinks numerous times Steyning just beat Pulborough by 68/64.

Billingshurst finally get a win in three tight matches Bowls Keith Barraclough - Billingshurst BC Billingshurst 57 - 59 Horsham The “all changes after tea” gremlin struck at Billingshurst who were hosting Horsham for an afternoon friendly. ‘Hurst was ahead by 11 shots at half time and looked like claiming victory. However the visitors, remembering their loss at home to Billingshurst in late July, were not ready to give up. Aided by some steady scoring - including a pair of 4’s very late on – Horsham managed to erase the deficit eventually overtaking ‘Hurst to win by 2 shots. Top rink

for Billingshurst went to Marion Clark, John Bennett & Geoff Weller (+6).

Billingshurst 66 – 65 Downsman Billingshurst, hosting Crawley based Downsman, were mindful of their previous encounter this season when ’Hurst came away from the Ifield Avenue green with a hard fought draw. Determined to go one better at home, the hosts edged ahead and broke for tea 3 up. Downsman had the run of play in the second half but could only cut the deficit to one thus giving Billingshurst their first win in two weeks. Top rink

for Billingshurst went to Brian Richards, Beryl Barraclough & Alan Readshaw (+10).

Billingshurst Captain 47 – 46 Billingshurst Vice-captain Friendly rivalry was the order of the day for this 3 triples challenge match. Play was nip and tuck with scores fairly even until a pair of 4’s just before tea enabled Barry’s team to take refreshments 4 shots ahead. Alan’s team rallied in the second half and although scoring more than their opponents could not erase the deficit completely thus giving the Captain’s team victory by a single shot.

Horsham’s overseas player Jofra Archer, from Barbados, has been given a full professional contract by Sussex, initially to the end of the 2017 season.

Jofra played for the Sussex Second XI in 2014, has been a regular member of that side this term and was Middleton’s overseas player when they were in the Premier League last season.

The 21 year old right arm fast medium bowler played for the West Indies at U19 level and is a friend of Sussex and England’s Chris Jordan, saying: “CJ encouraged me to return to England to pursue whatever options might be available for me so I’m very excited to be on board with Sussex. It’s a lovely club. Everyone in the management and playing staff has taken really good care of me since the first day I walked in. It was one of my goals this year to play in at least one format in the first team, but it’s been a great feeling to play in all three. All of the coaches have had a big influence on me since I’ve been here, but Jon Lewis is always pushing me. I can always go to him for advice, I’m very grateful and he’s been really good to me.”

For Horsham, in addition to his other scalps Jofra took three wickets against the Sussex Development XI, followed by a century in the Bexhill match and more runs in the Hastings game.

In his first outing for the Sussex senior side he was the pick of the bowlers against Pakistan taking 5 wickets in the match and in Sussex’s televised 50 over game against Somerset he took five more, while in the County Championship at Colchester, in addition to wickets he scored 73, putting on a 140 run stand with Jordan, helping his mentor to go on to score a maiden century.

Horsham Chairman Richard Marshall told the District Post: “We’re very pleased for Jofra, good luck to him. But, obviously we’re disappointed that he’s not playing for us! We’re missing his opening bowling, and his runs, too. Clearly his absence has weakened our side but when Sussex have a gap in their fixtures later in the month we’re expecting him to be available for us again – hopefully it won’t be too late for us to push for the Premier League title then.”

Sussex Head Coach Mark Davis described Jofra as an incredibly exciting talent, adding: “In the games he has played his ability to compete has been exceptional and he has showed that he has immense talent with both bat and ball.”

In the recent Hampshire match at Hove the Sussex side included four Horsham cricketers – Archer, Will Beer, George Garton and Chris Nash – they took five of the nine Hampshire wickets to fall and Chris Nash top-scored for the county.

YM’s FA Cup hopes come to an early end Slinfold Ladies reach the YM’s Dave Brown

Photo by Clive Turner F.A. Cup (Extra Preliminary Round) Horsham YMCA 2 – 3 Hollands and Blair Football Dave Snith - Sports Editor A last minute goal from Hollands and Blair’s Alex Armstrong sent Horsham YMCA out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle and put his Gillingham based team through to the next round.

In a tight end to end first half, in which both teams had a number of chances to score, it was not until just before the break that the deadlock was broken. Dave Brown’s corner-kick was met by Sam Schaaf who made no mistake from close range to take YM in at half time 1-0 up.

The match continued in the same vein during the opening period of the second half and YM could have extended their lead but found themselves pegged back on

63 minutes when James McDonald scored the Hollands and Blair equaliser. Five minutes later and the visitors were in front, Rob Dennes scoring from the spot however the lead was short lived as YM were awarded a penalty after Dave Brown was fouled and Brad Curtis stepped up to level at 2-2. Then as YM were preparing for a trip to the Medway for the replay Armstrong broke the home sides hearts by stealing a last minute winner to deny YM a FA Cup run and the possibility of a lucrative draw in future rounds.

In the absence of manager Peter Buckland his assistant manager Dean Potter said “We’re all geared up for the league... it’s our main focus. It would’ve been nice to have a good FA Cup run; I don’t like to lose games. But as I said to the boys, it’s more important that we get three points next Saturday.

Peacehaven away is going to be tough, but there’s no reason why we can’t do it. We’ve got to keep positive. We’ve changed formation pre-season, we’ve bought in five or six players. So it’s going to take time to gel, but there’s a lot more positive than negative, in my opinion, on today’s performance.

Championship Final

Ladies Golf Dave Snith - Sports Editor Slinfold Ladies’ Division 2 team has got through to the Final of the Inter-Club Division Championship, a scratch matchplay competition organised by the Sussex County Ladies Golf Association.

Slinfold was well represented at Lewes Golf Club with Slinfold’s Division 2 and Division 3 teams both making it through to the Semi-Finals of the County competition.

Slinfold’s Division 2 team of Captain Sue Puttock, Danielle Jones, Cathy Downey, Melanie Wedgbury, Karina Gill, Chris Hagg and Ann Grain – seven players each with handicaps of 14 and above – beat Brighton & Hove and now meet Copthorne in the Final, which will be held at Nevill Golf Club on August 24.

Slinfold’s Division 3 team – seven players each with handicaps of 21 and above – narrowly missed out on a place in the final losing to Crowborough Beacon in a hardfought contest.

Hornets, YM and Heath all looking for good starts in season openers Action from last season’s 2-2 draw involving YM and BBH

Billingshurst out-gunned by high scoring Cuckfield Sussex Premier League Cuckfield 268- 8 declared (51 overs) Billingshurst 227 All Out (53.2) Cuckfield won by 41 runs Cricket Martin Read - Sports Reporter

Photo by Clive Turner Football Dave Snith - Sports Editor The important business of league football returns for our three senior clubs this coming weekend.

Horsham kick off their return to the Ryman League on Saturday with the visit of Carshalton Town to Gorings Mead. Since beating Horsham YMCA in a friendly at the end of July the Hornets have lost three matches in quick succession. Eastbourne Town beat them 3-0 in the Sussex Community Shield which was followed by friendly defeats at the hands of Bognor Regis – in which Hornets legend Gary Charman scored for Bognor – and then came last

weekend’s 5-1loss against Worthing on the 3G synthetic surface at Worthing’s newly revamped Woodside Road ground. Manager Dom Di Paola will be hoping his new look squad will gel on Saturday and bag all three points at the expense of visitors Carshalton.

In the Premier Division of the Southern Combination Football League, Horsham YMCA travel to Peacehaven & Telscombe, while Broadbridge Heath welcomes Littlehampton to the Leisure Centre. Both teams have a number of new faces in their squads with YM firmly targeting a promotion spot and BBH looking to finish top six. Heath suffered a massive setback last week after striker

Ollie Moore broke his cheek and jaw bones during a preseason friendly at Chipstead. Moore has just returned to the club after a spending last season at Loxwood.

The prolific striker will be badly missed in the opening months of the season with the possibility that manager Steve Painter will need to look for cover up front.

YM too have suffered a number of less serious injuries to players during their preseason and manager Peter Buckland will be hoping that most of his walking wounded are fit for the difficult visit of Peacehaven & Telscombe this Saturday.

All matches kick off at 3.00pm on Saturday.

Billingshurst continued to show improvement with the bat but were unable to chase down a demanding total in a high scoring game at Cuckfield.

After losing the toss Billingshurst made a major early break through when Shane West dismissed Jordan Silk, Cuckfield’s prolific Aussie opener, but a 123 run fourth wicket stand got the hosts to 200 thanks to 88 from wicket keeper Bradley Gayler and Dominic Sear’s 71. Subsequent double figure contributions enabled Cuckfield to post 2688, Billingshurst only bowling four maidens in their 51 overs (three by skipper Ben Williams, 4-82).

In reply Billingshurst needed to create a good platform to give themselves a realistic

chance of overtaking Cuckfield but were soon 10-2. Thivanka Ratarante’s 55 included 13 fours and Jay Hatard made 37 but wickets kept falling, Jamie Hutchings and Greg Wisdom taking three apiece. A determined last wicket partnership between Williams and Awais Malik put on 40 but the match ended with 34 balls still available. Ben Williams said: “Although they batted well we contained them after they’d reached 200-3, but this was a disappointing Billingshurst bowling performance. The target was gettable if we batted well but poor shot selection cost us wickets. However, we took 13 points from the game, so it could have been worse.

Next we play fifth placed Hastings (tomorrow, Saturday 13 at Jubilee Fields, starting at 12 noon), and, with home advantage we’ll be pressing for a win!”

Billingshurst remain in the relegation zone, 51 points above bottom of the table Worthing and 15 behind Brighton, who unexpectedly beat East Grinstead by 101 runs.

Roffey back top after Fleming brothers clinch tense win Josh Fleming and his brother George guided Roffey to victory

Photo by John Lines

Sussex Premier League Sussex Development XI 179 All Out (54.1 overs) Roffey 182-8 (53.2) Roffey won by 2 wickets Cricket Martin Read - Sports Reporter The Sussex Development XI have endured a second successive disappointing season, winning just one game this term, so high-flying Roffey might have anticipated a comfortable, maximum 30 point win. They did win but not without inflicting substantial stress on their large, vociferous crowd of supporters.

Roffey put the Academy in to bat and Leigh Harrison took a wicket with the second ball of the

match, but two young Horsham batsmen, 15 year old Tom Clark and Tom Haines (17) – who recently scored a century for Sussex seconds in Wales – put on 64 together. Clark made 27 and Haines 36 before both became victims of Rohit Jagota, who finished with 4-45 from 19 testing overs. Delray Rawlins, Brad Evans and Coach Carl Hopkinson all got good starts but Luke Barnard whittled away the middle order with 3-80 in a long spell and George Fleming took the remaining wicket, the students setting a potentially awkward 180 target on a helpful used pitch.

Roffey replied with 30 for the first wicket and on 128-3, including Alex Southon’s 34, and with Rohit, buoyed by two recent

league hundreds and a 50, batting serenely a Roffey win appeared a formality. But, when Rohit was out immediately after getting to another half century, wickets frittered away, Brad Evans going on to take 5-43. A run out then left Roffey in the doldrums and on a parlous 142-8. Roffey required 38 more, with Josh Fleming in at number 10 batting against doctor’s orders, having just returned to the ground after receiving A&E treatment for a hand injured fielding during the Academy innings. But, with Brother George holding firm, Josh hit 5 fours and George two, the pair putting on 40, Roffey getting home with little to spare.

The crucial win notched up Roffey’s tenth victory – two more than any other side – returning them to the top of the table on 329 points, 19 ahead of Cuckfield and 48 ahead of third placed Bexhill, whom they visit tomorrow (Saturday Aug 13).

George Fleming said: “That was too much like hard work!

They bowled and fielded well but it wasn’t too much of a problem - until more wickets went”, Josh adding: “I thought we’d lost that but we’re really buzzing now we’re back on top!” President Mick Webb commented: “A great win – a bit of Roffey grit!”

Treasurer Peter Cheesman saying: “They only produce these exciting finishes to set up the crowd!” while mightily relieved Roffey Captain, Matt Davies quipped: “We provide entertainment!”

Horsham shaded in low scoring Hastings tussle Horsham’s Michael Munday has had another terrific season

Photo by John Lines Sussex Premier League Horsham 147 All Out (53.3 overs) Hastings & St Leonards Priory 150-8 (40.5 overs) Hastings won by 2 wickets Cricket Martin Read - Sports Reporter Another outstanding bowling performance from leg spinner Michael Munday almost snatched a much needed win for Horsham but Hastings scrambled home on a difficult wicket

at Horntye Park.

Aiming for something over 200 Horsham elected to bat and reached 51-1 but then wickets fell too regularly, reducing them to 128-7. Earlier a fifth wicket stand of 69 between top-scoring match skipper Michael Thornely with 41 in partnership with Tom Johnson (28) had strengthened Horsham’s position but once they were out the innings fizzled out for a disappointing 147. Six Horsham batsmen got to double figures but all-rounder Jed O’Brien’s 5-40

and subsequent 30 proved decisive. Replying, Hastings were well placed on 58-0 – James Pooley making the highest score of the match (46), but Michael Munday dismissed the top six batsmen before going on to finish with 7-69 in another marathon spell, Hastings getting home despite losing three late wickets. In Michael’s best season for Horsham he took 66 league wickets and, currently on 57, head and shoulders above any other contender, he hopes to set a new personal record this season, telling the District Post: “I feel I’m still bowling well: losing Jofra (Archer) to Sussex has put more responsibility on me, so I’m bowling a lot of overs and am enjoying playing on helpful wickets!” Post match Michael Thornely told us: “The boys fought hard, to lose by just two wickets after we’d only scored 147 was a great effort – if we’d managed to get 175 that would have been a winning score. Michael Munday was really outstanding again but we didn’t quite make it.”

With just one win from their last seven matches Horsham slip to fourth behind Roffey, Cuckfield and Bexhill but have a good opportunity to improve their situation tomorrow (Saturday 13, 12 noon start) when they return home to entertain bottom club Worthing, whom they thumped on the coast earlier in the season.

Jittery draw thwarts Roffey George Fleming took 4-67 in Roffey’s tight match

Sussex Premier League Roffey 171 All Out (55.4 overs) Preston Nomads 168-9 (54 overs) Match drawn Cricket Martin Read - Sports Reporter Preston Nomads were cruising to victory with two batsmen well set – until Roffey grabbed four wickets for no runs at the death, almost pulling off a remarkable victory, each side settling for a nerve-jangling draw in a game that neither quite deserved to win.

A freak late-week thunderstorm had flooded the ground, leaving the wicket bowlerfriendly, especially at the beginning of the game and after losing the toss Roffey were given a stern examination.

Evergreen Carl Simons, moving the ball each way gave nothing away, beating the bat consistently and on a different day might have had several wickets, but Liam Gibson (41) and Theo Rivers batted watchfully, putting on 46. Promising contributions came from Usman Khan, Chris Webb and Josh Fleming but Owen Kernan took 4-41 and Jonty Jenner 3-15, Roffey sliding from 94-3 to 113-6 before the innings ebbed away. Roffey were deprived of the services of 22 year old Stuart Whittingham, who received a late call from Sussex to field for them at Colchester after signing a contract extension until the end of 2018 following his 18 Championship wickets since his county debut in May.

But, in the tricky conditions the 172 run target was likely to be demanding, especially if Roffey made early inroads.

And, when Nomads were 75-5 a home win beckoned, yet, although only one other batsman reached double figures, Dan Phillips (75) and skipper Jeremy Green (53) prospered as the ball softened, getting to 165-5. With 18 balls available the game was Nomads’s for easy taking – until they had a severe attack of the jitters. Rohit Jagota snared Phillips then, in a double wicket maiden, Matt Davies stumped Green off Luke Barnard, before Kashim Ibrahim departed for a second ball duck, caught off a cloudskirting skier. Carl Simon, who had earlier engineered a casual Roffey run out, embarked on a suicide mission and was run out himself. Suddenly Nomads were 165-9. Seven runs were required off the final over; surely Roffey couldn’t snatch an improbable win? Understandably, Nomads didn’t want to gift the game to Roffey, but, inexplicably, they made no attempt to win it, dropping to seventh as a consequence.

George Fleming took 4-67 and Jagota and Barnard two apiece, Carl Simon saying: “You just never know with cricket – that’s the beauty of it!” while Matt Davies told the District Post: “An exciting last couple of overs! We fielded well but didn’t get enough runs.

Only getting eight points is disappointing but there’s still a long way to go to the end of the season.”
