Five hunted after couple defrauded

The wanted men

phil dennett News Editor

A gang of five crooks is being sought after a couple were defrauded of £60,000 when bank cards were stolen from their home in Mannings Heath, near Horsham.

Detectives have issued CCTV images of five suspects they want to identify after money was withdrawn from cash dispensing machines, known as ATMs, in

Sussex, Surrey and London.

Four days after the couple reported an attempted burglary at their home in Brighton Road they noticed £60,000 missing from their bank account. A window had been smashed in their rear patio door during the break-in attempt.

DC Emma Dumbrell of Sussex Police said: “Enquiries revealed that the couple had their post intercepted when new bank cards had been sent to their home.

“Our investigations found that between April 15 and 18 the stolen bank cards had been used at ATMs in Horsham, Crawley, Epsom, Sutton, Lewisham and Southend.

Shoplifter banned by court A convicted shoplifter has been banned from a number of shops in Horsham for two years.

Horsham magistrates have issued a criminal behaviour order on 50-year-old Said Bahaji after he pleaded guilty to shoplifting in Topshop in the town on August 5. Magistrates heard that he had been convicted of ten other shoplifting offences already in 2016.

Bahaji, unemployed, of Burnham Place, Horsham, has been ordered not to engage in or encourage others to cause any antisocial behaviour that is likely to cause people harassment, alarm or distress and not to enter the Horsham branches of Topshop, Between the Lines, CandH Fabrics, Horsham Business Systems, Pets at Home, TK Maxx, Sharpes Bedrooms, Laura Ashley, Mountain Warehouse, Cancer Research, Co-op (Guildford Road) or any Tesco Express in the town.

Fire crews save visitors centre in park blaze Firefighters saved a visitors centre when a blaze broke out at a popular leisure spot.

They managed to stop the fire in a machinery storeroom spreading to the nearby main building after being called out to Southwater Country Park , Southwater.

The park remained open for visitors this week.

The outbuilding about 30ft by 15 ft in size was ruined in the blaze, to which two Horsham fire crews were called just before 2.30am on Tuesday.

Crews spent just over an hour at the scene, using three hose reels, one water jet and compressed air foam.

The park off Cripplegate Lane attracts thousands of visitors each year, and was open this week.

A spokeswoman for Horsham District Council said on Tuesday morning: “A small allterrain vehicle was destroyed together with a range of tools and equipment.

“The fire service attended the scene and extinguished the fire, and prevented further spread of the fire. The main visitor centre building is largely unaffected.

The cause of the fire is being investigated. Southwater Country Park and the Café remain open as usual.”

Hornets push for new home after lease deal The push is on for Horsham FC to find a new home after the Holbrook Club agreed a new lease.

Previous attempts to win planning approval have not succeeded but there was optimism this week as the new lease deal was announced.

Horsham Football Club and the Holbrook Club said in a joint statement on the future of the sports and social club: “We are pleased to announce that terms for a new 25 year lease have been agreed and we are working together on the paperwork to remove the eviction notice.

“This is an important step in securing the long term future of The Holbrook Club and Horsham Football Club, allowing for the preservation of existing sporting facilities and the opportunity for the development of new ones.

“The focus now is to work together to secure planning permission for a new home for Horsham FC, which is important to many residents of Horsham and District and will trigger the new Holbrook Club lease.”

The club still favours the Hop Oast site. In 2015 Horsham district councillors rejected an application for land near Worthing Road, despite planning officers recommending approval.

In 2008 an application for the Holbrook Club was also rejected.

The club, formed in 1898, has been without a home for eight years since quitting its old Queen Street site, the scene of many triumphs when it was one of the strongest and best supported sides in Sussex. It currently shares a ground with Horsham YMCA Football Club.

The Black Jug pub starts update Black Jug

Regulars at the Black Jug pub in Horsham will have to find another watering hole for a few days.

The popular venue closes on Sunday for improvements and will re-open next Friday at 5pm.

Features after the work has finished will include a newly decorated garden room and the pub says that the daily menu will be reviewed. The bar will also be refurbished with six new hand pumps. Landlord Ally adds “We’re very aware that wrinkles add character to a face, so rest assured the pub will retain all its character, but we felt it was past due for a spot of TLC. Whilst we’re closed our chefs will also be cooking up a new menu, which all the crew will be duly tasting along with some new wines to the wine list (it’s a hard life)”.

Councils welcome “No Gatwick runway” proposal

Campaigners who opposed an extra runway at Gatwick won support from district councillors over the Government’s proposal this week to concentrate on Heathrow instead.

Horsham District Council said on Tuesday that it welcomed the Government’s preference which proposes Heathrow Airport for additional runway capacity in the south east.

The council said it had been generally opposed to a second runway at Gatwick because of what it calls the very considerable detrimental effect it would have on the physical, social and economic environment.

Cllr Ray Dawe, Leader at Horsham District Council, has welcomed the Government’s preference, saying: “We have made it clear that a second runway at Gatwick would have a fundamental impact on the general character of the district and on the lives of everyone who works and lives here. We are therefore relieved that our

concerns appear to have been listened to and understood. We will nevertheless continue to support Gatwick’s development as a single runway airport - recognising the importance of the airport’s success to the local economy.”

West Sussex Council said: “We welcome the fact that a decision on the Government’s preferred

We know that today’s announcement will be welcomed by many of our communities who were concerned about the noise and environmental consequences of a second runway at Gatwick.”

Scouts have handed over money to help people with dementia.

This summer 1st Roffey Scout Group took part in the Horsham annual Riverside Walk. It was a well attended event with Scouts, groups and individuals walking

the 13 miles to help raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Cubs, scouts and the families of 1st Roffey Scout Group raised £405 through sponsorship for this worthy charity.

Dawn Fairbrother from Alz-

heimer’s Society was invited to the scout meeting to talk about dementia and the work of the society. At the end of the talk she was presented with a cheque for the money the scouts had raised.

Adult social care changes on way Users of adult social care In Horsham could see a shakeup of their services in two years if a pilot scheme succeeds.

A new approach to providing adult social care in West Sussex has been given the backing of a West Sussex County Council scrutiny committee. It will have trials in other districts first, but could be extended across all of West Sussex by 2018.

A plan to trial a ‘community based operating model’ for social work and care was examined recently by members of the county council’s Health and Adult Social Care Select Committee.

Members of the committee heard an update on plans for several pilot areas which will provide support in the community at an earlier stage, to prevent or delay health issues in the future.

The aim is to enable people to stay independent for longer and avoid stays in hospital or care homes.

Linking up with local groups and the voluntary sector and helping people to access existing services will be important aspects of the new way of working.

Avril Wilson, the County Council’s Executive Director for

Care, Wellbeing and Education, said: “We want to work with local people, their families and carers to make sure they get the right care at the right time. It’s about helping people before they need more traditional types of services, meeting them more informally to help them stay healthy and in control of their lives.

“This isn’t replacing any of those traditional services. We will still be there for people when they need us. But we hope that an emphasis on preventative services and early contact with people will increase independence and address care needs before they escalate.

“We know similar models have worked well in other parts of the country and we’re keen to see a move in the same direction here in West Sussex.”

It is planned to launch seven areas known as ‘innovation sites’ in January 2017 where people can have conversations about their needs at an early stage.

Crawley, East Grinstead, Adur and Chichester are being considered and areas like Horsham will be considered later once the trial is evaluated next year.

The quality from all the street food vendors is always fantastic, but this year I thought they really raised the bar..

Two street food firms from Horsham District are in line for the Sussex Food and Drink Awards 2017 title.

Garlic Wood Farm from Steyning and Jah Jyot Punjabi Street Food from Henfield joined The Pig and Jacket from Lewes as Grand Finalists at a special event held at the Carfax in Horsham on Sunday.

Former Masterchef “The Professionals” Winner Steven Edwards led an expert judging panel with food journalist Andy Lynes and co-sponsors Food Rocks and Horsham District Food and Wine Festival, supported by votes from the public.

Finalists invited to participate also included Sussex Lamb in

Shipley.

Steven said, “The quality from all the street food vendors is always fantastic, but this year I thought they really raised the bar producing amazingly diverse and delicious dishes, with incredible technical skills and passion, served from eye-catching and professional stalls.”

Creative Assembly sponsored a trophy, the Horsham People’s Choice Award, for the street food vendor to receive the most public votes on the day, and the winner was Jah Jyot. Chairman of Horsham District Council Christian Mitchell presented the award and said: “I want to thank everyone from Horsham District for coming

Pupils at Shelley Primary prepare for life on the road!

Children from year 6 at Shelley Primary School, Broadbridge Heath, have been fortunate to receive the ‘Bikeability’ cycle training recently from West Sussex approved instructors.

The children had a great time on their bikes and learnt valuable road safety lessons, along with hopefully developing their skills in sustainable travel choices.

The West Sussex Road Safety Team are currently looking for feedback from parents and guardians regarding the Bikeability service provided and how much it is valued. The survey can be found at www.westsussex.gov.uk/bikeabilitysurvey.

Shock as Plan overturned Campaigners claim Henfield’s Neighbourhood Plan has been ignored after developers won an appeal to build homes.

The Hands Off Henfield group said: “Henfield’s carefully prepared Neighbourhood Plan has been overturned by the courts following an appeal by developers Stonegate Homes Ltd and Littleworth Properties Ltd. “Despite the best efforts of Horsham District Council and Henfield Parish Council to defend the plan local democracy has been dismissed by Mrs Justice Patterson. The neighbourhood plan cost three years of work by the district and parish council and local residents and cost tens of thousands of pounds of public money. It was adopted following a vote by local residents with a high turnout and huge vote in favour.

“However the developer of Sandgate Nursery’s action to call for a review of the neighbourhood plan by the High Court has run a coach and horses through any pretext of local democracy or localism and opened up the flood gates to many more inappropriate speculative developments within the parish.”

The plan was quashed on four grounds involving European Law. Horsham District Council and Henfield Parish Council said they were disappointed at the decision. 94.3 per cent of the 1533 residents voted to support the plan.

Live life to the full

The housing developers challenged three procedural irregularities in the making of the plan.

Leader of the district council Ray Dawe said: “It is very regrettable that the High Court has quashed the entire neighbourhood plan for Henfield.

“To have an entire plan

Despite the best efforts of Horsham District Council and Henfield Parish Council to defend the plan local democracy has been dismissed.. quashed as a result of one developer’s determination to build on one site in the village is extremely disappointing.

“However as the matters raised by the judge are reasonably straightforward to address, we are able to continue to work with Henfield Parish Council so that we can get the Henfield Neighbourhood Plan in place as swiftly as possible.”

Ray Osgood, Chairman of the Henfield Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, said: “We are naturally very disappointed with the Judge’s decision which we feel totally disregards the views of the local community and the materiality of the referendum in the neighbourhood plan process.”

Graham helps the future generations Mrs Pyper and Mr Mellstrom

Students have a new £1.2 million careers centre thanks to a former pupil.

A generous donation from Graham Mellstrom made possible the conversion of the old library at Christ’s Hospital.

And the school says its use could be widened to other schools.

Lord-Lieutenant of West Sussex Susan Pyper opened the centre alongside Mr Mellstrom, who was educated at Christ’s Hospital in the 1940s.

Mrs Pyper said: “I always feel so at home when I visit Christ’s Hospital, it’s as if I am visiting friends. I am very honoured to be invited to open this magnificent centre and grateful to the School and to Graham Mellstrom for providing such an excellent educational provision and for all the work that you do for children in the county, the country and internationally.”

Christ’s Hospital’s central library was re-located last summer to a new building on the campus which won a Sussex Heritage Trust award for its striking design. This left the way clear for the old library’s conversion.

Mr Mellstrom played a key role throughout the design and build-

ing process.

In the speeches after the formal opening, Mr Mellstrom, a chartered accountant, urged pupils to seek out opportunities and hold on to them. He spoke about how his career aspirations had been dramatically changed by chance whilst he was studying at Christ’s Hospital and he had never looked back.

This new building is now a new hub at Christ’s Hospital for pupils to research careers opportunities and the appropriate study pathways. It provides study pods for one-to- one consultations and there is an impressive lecture hall and a quiet area for independent learning.

Christ’s Hospital says it is exploring prospective relationships with other schools in the area and colleges for them to also benefit from this initiative. John Franklin, the school’s Head Master, thanked Mrs Pyper for formerly opening the new centre and said: “We are enormously grateful for the support of Graham Mellstrom in funding this incredible facility. This new centre positions us well to offer children access to the highest level of career in the future.”

Local filmmaker selected for film festival 27 year old filmmaker, Josh Merritt, from Horsham, has a new short film coming out and he and the production team have just been selected for a film festival in Eastbourne.

The team beat 800 other submissions, from 61 different countries, to be one of the 70 entries in the official selection at the ‘Crossing the Screen International Film Festival 2016’.

Short film, Echoes, is the story of an ageing recluse rock star who does a rare interview with an inexperienced, anxious young music journalist. The script and production was of the calibre to attract some talented people: Sound recordist, Dickie Earl, for example, worked in the sound department on such films as

Bridget Jones’ Baby, Paddington, The Lady in the Van and Rush - to name but a few. Josh’s role in this project was that of writer, director, editor and producer.

“Stay safe” youngsters are reminded

Personal safety for young people is being highlighted in films made by students from Horsham.

The campaign by Horsham District Council is encouraging the parents of teenagers and young adults to consider personal safety during the winter months by working together with media students from the town’s Collyer’s Sixth Form College to develop three films which highlight personal safety issues.

The initiative, led by the district’s Community Safety Part-

toine, Henry McLaughlin, Erica Nutbrown, Hayden Prenter, and Patrick Dean. For the film Taxi Safe the crew was Amy Johanson and Clare Packham.The campaign follows the success of the Keep It Safe personal safety campaign in March which saw a positive response through social media.

The campaign will run until the end of January 2017.The three films aim to encourage parents to be mindful and urge young adults to think ahead before going out with light-hearted comedy and creative flair. The films cover themes such as using licenced taxis, safety when out socialising and planning ahead when travelling around urban areas. Cllr Kate Rowbottom, Cabinet Member for Community and Wellbeing, said: “The chances of becoming a victim of a violent crime in the Horsham district are thankfully very low. However, it is always wise to be aware of personal safety threats and this campaign is an ideal way to get the messages across about some of the simple things people can do to protect themselves.

The three videos are on the council’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.

nership, aims to raise awareness of the personal safety of young adults as the nights grow darker and colder in the winter months to help them live safer, more confident lives.

The students involved in the film The Horror in the Dark of the Night were Brendan Emberson, Elena Angus, Joe Hunting, Jon Jennings, Racheal Conceicao and Olivia Allen. Those who made “Don’t just be safe. Be super safe” were Bethany Kent, Connor Drummond, Lara An-

The geography department at Collyer’s has received the prestigious Secondary Geography Quality Mark Award, recognising the exceptional quality of student work and outstanding teaching.

The mark is awarded by the Geographical Association, which is the leading subject association for teachers of geography With only 35 educational estab-

lishments across the globe receiving this award, including schools in China and Thailand, Collyer’s exceptional geography results and high quality teaching means that it has become one of the few centres to hold such a prestigious commendation.

Collyer’s Deputy Principal Steve Nicholls said: “We have a superb geography department

which, in addition to the award, have yet again posted some outstanding Alevel results this year. Congratulations to everyone who has helped achieve the Secondary Quality Mark Geography Award.

This is a tremendous achievement.”

Ray’s lost years enthral students Ray with students

find us on facebook horsham.news

Towers Open Evening Staff and pupils staged an opening evening to show their facilities and talents.

Tour guides escorted visitors to every area of the Towers Convent school at Upper Beeding , where fun, interactive activities and were available , as well as edible treats.

Head teacher Clare Trelfa said: “A great evening was had by all.”

One of the displays

The stolen years of a young man enthralled students at a Horsham school.

The first Vive Lecture of the year at Farlington School was given by Mr Ray Chase, a retired Flight Lieutenant with the Royal Air Force. Ray took students and teachers back to his childhood experiences during the six years of the Second World War; times of air raids, food rationing and of living in incessant fear.

Ray described how he did not see his father for six years as he was in the Navy, and expressed how difficult times were for his

mother, whom he compared to being like a single parent looking after the children, the home and working to pay the bills. There were no benefits to help support people at this time.

During his later life, when working in air traffic control in Sri Lanka, Ray did not have any communication with his family. When he left England his sister was nine-years-old and when he came back she was 12. Apparently, she still recalls this experience. The difference between communication and technology since then is astounding.

When Ray retired he went to Kenya on safari which sparked an interest in helping the disadvantaged people there. This led to various trips which Ray funded himself helping young people and families to improve their living conditions and start up new businesses. Ray presented a range of pictures showing the poor conditions the people had to live in. The varied accounts and discussions on the very different experiences in Ray’s life had the audience captivated.

This was the first in a series of Vive Lectures which are part of

Farlington’s Scholarship Enrichment Programme and run throughout the academic year.

Interesting and engaging speakers help students widen their learning within and beyond the curriculum. The next Vive lecture is on November 4 at 4pm with Adrian Mellor presenting ‘The science behind our skin, the sun and art of safe tanning’.

Students from other local schools are welcome to attend.

Calendar shows Street lights an hour earlier scenes of old Horsham Street lights will switch on an hour earlier when the clocks go back on October 30.

West Sussex Council says that residents who leave the house early in the morning have questioned why street lights are not coming on while it is dark.

All street lights in part-night areas come on according to Greenwich Mean Time.

In winter, the lights switch on from dusk to the middle of the night and from 5.30am to dawn, although this might vary up to 20 minutes either way depending on the equipment.

In summer when the clocks go forward to reflect British Summer Time, the lights do not.

So during October it appears the lights switch on an hour later.

Highlands Road

West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport John O’Brien said: “We’d like to reassure everyone the lights will come on earlier when the clocks go back.

“The timings of the street lights are factory set and cannot be altered.

“We just have to wait until October 30 for everything to get back in-sync.”

Part night lighting in West Sussex runs from dusk to middle of the night and from 5.30am to dawn, although it might vary by 20 minutes either way.

Most residential roads in West Sussex are lit to this lighting regime. All night lighting in West Sussex runs from dusk to dawn.

All town centres and main

distributor roads are lit to this regime.

All night lighting dims by 40% after the middle of the night until 5.30am.

It then reverts to full lighting level until dawn.

The seminar will also give the ‘heads up’ on what to expect from 2017 - in particular, the up-to-date position on holiday pay; recent case law on monitoring staff in the workplace; important developments in discrimination law; useful guidance on the enforceability of restrictive covenants; how ‘Brexit’ is affecting the employment law picture.

James Willis, Head of Employment Law at stevensdrake, explained why local businesses should attend: “2016 has proved to be yet another eventful year, with a number of significant develop-

ments to our employment laws.

As the dust begins to settle and a clearer picture emerges, now is the perfect time to come together with others, from the local business community, to reflect on what has happened so far and prepare for what is yet to come.”

This event takes place on Wednesday 23 November at the Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel. Registration commences at 8:30am and the seminar starts at 9:00am. Tea, coffee and a bite to eat will be provided. The event will finish at about 10:30am.

Photos by Chris Dale The world’s best-loved musical, starring everyone’s favourite feisty redhead, is coming to The Capitol this November, as HAODS bring a true classic to the stage - Annie.

Featuring unforgettable songs, such as “It’s the Hard Knock Life”, “Easy Street”, “I Don’t Need Anything But You” and “NYC”, plus the heartfelt anthem “Tomorrow”, ‘Annie’ is the story of feisty spirited orphan whose boundless optimism takes her on all kinds of adventures.

As a baby, Annie was left by her parents at the New York Municipal orphanage, leaving her in the care of the drunk, harsh and sometimes ridiculous Miss Hannigan. Annie’s fortunes take a turn for the better, when the kind and caring Grace Farrell, PA to billionaire businessman Oliver Warbucks, chooses her to spend Christmas with them at his Mansion. Annie instantly charms the hearts of everyone she meets, including the seemingly cold-hearted Warbucks... but something is missing - her real parents. Warbucks uses his power and launches a nationwide search

to find them, offering a reward to anyone who can prove their identity as her mother and father.

Meanwhile, a cunning plan is being hatched. Miss Hannigan’s evil brother, Rooster, and accomplice, Lily St Regis, plan to impersonate Annie’s parents, to claim the reward for themselves, and even worse, make Annie “Disappear”!

HAODS (Horsham Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society) are thrilled to be bringing this family musical to the stage. With fabulous choreography, up-beat and moving songs and an optimistic storyline, all performed by many talented local children, alongside a large cast of New Yorkers, Government Officials, butlers, maids, and not forgetting the lovable Milo as Sandy, Annie’s dog.

Director, Juliet Sumner, said: “It has been a privilege to work on such a well crafted musical, meeting the feisty Little Orphan Annie and following her story from the grim surroundings of the orphanage to a life of happiness and luxury as part of the Warbucks’ family.

“We have tried to stay true to the 1930s origins of the cartoon,

by recreating the period and the strong contrasts between the poverty and desperation, of post Wall Street Crash New York, and the luxury and decadence, which were still available to those who were wealthy enough to be immune to the Depression. However, the characters on stage are not just cartoon sketches, they are real people with real emotions. It’s been great fun turning civilised young ladies into scruffy, loud-mouthed orphans and giving life to the heroes and villains of the piece.”

Performances of Annie will run at The Capitol from Tuesday 15 Saturday 19 November. Don’t wait until ‘tomorrow’ to book - the Saturday matinee is already sold out and other nights are selling fast! For tickets, call the Capitol Box Office: 01403 750 220 or visit: www.thecapitolhorsham.com As they say, “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile” and HAODS guarantee you’ll leave the theatre with just that!

Horsham residents are being invited to help raise money for Heart UK, by attending the first ever 5K charity race at Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre this Sunday.

The 5K for Heart UK will take in 12.5 laps of the athletics track.

Running Beatz takes it inspiration from the latest London craze of running events set to music.

Group Exercise Co-ordinator and event organiser, Sam Beckinsale, explained: “This month is national cholesterol month and we wanted to do something to help raise vital funds for Heart UK. The event is supposed to be a bit of fun and is great for anyone who wants to try and set a time, or just wants to stretch their legs on a Sunday, without getting muddy”.

The event will start at 9.30am and all ages and abilities are welcomed.

The music will add a fun element and participants are encouraged to wear red to show their support for Heart UK. Entry is £5 and all proceeds will go to Heart UK. There will also be a raffle with prizes, including tickets to High Places aerial adventure in Horsham Park, a month’s membership to the Leisure Centre, Personal Training sessions and much more. Cake and refreshments will be available from the café after the race.

Tony, from Hands On Sport Therapy, will be available on the day, providing massages for those taking part, with all proceeds going to Heart UK. Participants need only arrive on the day from 9am for registration.

There is no need to pre-book.

For more information on the event, contact Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre on 01403 211311 or visit www.broadbridgheathleisurecentre.co.uk

‘Home from home’ at Abingworth Meadows

“It’s like coming home,” said Ruth White, sales consultant at the new Abingworth Meadows development in Thakeham.

“I used to live in Thakeham many years ago when my family were young and we had four very happy years here. The village is unique so it’s lovely to be back!”

Ruth and her colleague, Fred

Aitkenhead, are already welcoming new residents to the village with the sale of the first homes at Abingworth Meadows, the landmark development by Oakford Homes. The first four and five bedroom houses were released for sale this month with buyers starting to secure their homes alongside the new cricket pitch.

The pitch forms an integral part of the development along with a pavillion, changing facilities, two football pitches, a village shop, community centre and pre-school.

“I think the team at Oakford Homes have thought of absolutely everything!” Ruth added. “With the interiors, I

love the way the big glass doors downstairs let so much light filter through the house and the fabulous, airy hallways have been remarked on by many of our visitors.”

The show home is an ‘Edwin’ house design, featuring two spacious, double aspect reception rooms together with an open plan kitchen/family room which has twin sets of doors opening to the garden to provide a light, bright living space.

The specification is high, such as the range of Smeg kitchen appliances which include a combination microwave and five ring gas hob, while a Smeg washing machine and tumble dryer are ready for use in the separate utility room. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms two of which have ensuites with contemporary walk-in showers.

“Construction is well underway and the first properties will be ready in coming weeks so there is already a lot to see here,” adds Ruth. “It’s lovely to be part of this regeneration of Thakeham and in time to welcome new people who will be calling it ‘home’.”

Current prices at Abingworth Meadows range from £705,000 to £995,000 and the show home is open daily between 10am and 5pm (thakeham@oakfordhomes. co.uk) or for more information, contact the Sales Office on 01798 879140.

Slinfold Captain Jill reflects on her year Ladies Golf Dave Snith - Sports Editor As the golf season proper comes to an end, 34 Slinfold Ladies recently took to the course for the Autumn Meeting.

Lady Captain, Jill Meek commented: “It was lovely to see so many ladies turn out for the Autumn Meeting. The course was playing particularly well and I am grateful to our greenkeepers for all their hard work and effort throughout the year. I can’t quite

believe my year as lady Captain is coming to an end. It’s been enormous fun and I am particularly pleased with our Division 2 and 3 ladies who made it to the final and semi-finals of the interclub county competition. Above all I am delighted with people’s generosity towards my chosen charity, The Rainbow Trust. To date, just over £2,000 has been raised and I hope we can all dig deep into our pockets and give a bit more in the closing months.”

Captain Jill Meek with Crystal Bowl winner Sue Scaife

Presiding over the event, Jill presented prizes to the winners. In first place and taking the Autumn Crystal Bowl was Susan Scaife, followed by Jeanne Palmer runner up, Mavis Lane third, Lynda Robins fourth and Jill Meek in fifth place. The best front nine score went to Irene Arch and the best back nine to Faye Williams.

Nearest the Pin prizes were won

by Lynda Robins and Denise Sackett for the 7th and 16th holes respectively.

Another 23 young sports stars Set4Success The S4S award winners at South Lodge

find us on facebook horsham.news

Boro increase lead with sixth straight win London 3 South East Eastbourne 17 - 45 Pulborough Rugby Martin Read - Sports Reporter

Junior Sport Dave Snith - Sports Editor The sixth annual Set4Success award ceremony took place in the splendour of South Lodge with MC Dave Benson Phillips and Millais School Deputy Head Mike Sutton at the helm.

This year 23 young sports stars from Horsham & District won awards at the event attended by the winners families, friends and coaches as well as local dignitaries including the Chairman of Horsham District Council, Christian Mitchell.

The Set4Success charity – which from now is being rebranded as S4S - helps local talented sports

people achieve their dreams by presenting them with a financial award and free usage of leisure facilities provided by Places for People Leisure, who run Pavilions in the Park, Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre and Billingshurst Leisure Centre. 20 of the 23 winners were in attendance at South Lodge; the 3 missing were representing GB in their respective sports in Florida, Malta and Scotland. The awards were presented by guest speaker Mike Goody who gave an inspirational talk about how through sport, in his case swimming, his life was changed from the depressed and alcohol addicted person he was after suffering injuries when the armoured

vehicle he was driving in Afghanistan hit a roadside bomb. The injuries were so bad that Mike’s left leg had to be amputated.

The 23 winners this year were: Rebecca Barber, Lily Davis, Daniel Jones, Freya Fulcher, and Michael Pallister (Swimming); Cecily Turner and Hannah Patchett ( Water Polo); Emily Orman, Hannah Gardner and Bronwen Thomas ( Football); Reece Besley and Zoe Gaudiano ( Gymnastics); Verity Bashford and Kate Small ( Trampolining); Tamsin Campbell and Orla Brothers ( Athletics); Alexandra Malzer ( Hockey); Kristina Pavlou ( Judo); Alexandra Baker ( Basketball); Will Carey ( Triathlon); Jamie Brown (Kickbox-

ing); Harvey Claridge (Motorcycle Racing); Isabella Hayes ( Swimming & Triathlon).

Christian Mitchell said afterwards, “It was a delight to be able to share in Friday’s awards ceremony for the Horsham district charity Set4Success. The ceremony was an inspiring example of what can be achieved by these young people who showed true determination and the will to succeed.”

Applications are now invited for the Set4Success Autumn Award Panel. The closing date is November 11 and application can be made on line at the Set4Success website; www.set4success.org

Will Palmer storms to maiden Eurocup win Motor Racing Dave Snith - Sports Editor

United States Grand Prix Formula 1 Dave Snith - Sports Editor Renault Sport Formula One Team enjoyed one of its best overall performances with both drivers finishing the race at the Circuit of the Americas; Jolyon Palmer taking the flag in P13 and his teammate Kevin Magnussen - just outside the points - in P11. Palmer adopted a two pit stop strategy, starting the race in P15 on new soft tyres, changing to a

new set of soft compound tyres on lap 15 before coming in again on lap 26 for a final set of new medium tyres.

After the race a slightly frustrated Palmer commented, “I had a slow start and unfortunately lost a few places that allowed Kevin to pass me, which then meant I was on his gearbox for a good twothirds of the race. We were really struggling to follow other cars and although I was quicker, I couldn’t get close enough to pass which was so frustrating. I could have

tried to lunge but that’s not a clever thing to do between teammates. In the end, I overheated my tyres trying to overtake and fell back a little bit.”

Renault Sport Team Principal Fred Vasseur said, “I’m in two minds about today’s Grand Prix.

I’m happy we were able to adapt our strategy well as the race evolved, however at times our race pace was not as consistent as we’d like. We finished just shy of the points today, but in the points is where we want to be.”

Pulborough cemented their top of the table position, six points clear of Thanet Wanderers, with a storming win at Eastbourne.

The score was relatively close at half time – 22-10 – but two late converted tries put the game well beyond doubt, sealing sixth in the league Eastbourne’s fate.

Frazer Oliphant-Hope, Ollie Barnett and evergreen former captain Richard Nicholls all crossed the line and Brad Game again caught the eye, this time with four tries, taking his tally to 12 from six games, Frazer kicking five conversions. Boro have now notched up 200 points, the highest in the league and have conceded the second fewest. Their last visit to Eastbourne ended in defeat but delighted Head Coach Clayton Saunders told the District Post: “It’s so good to see us scoring more tries, and consistently, too – the team are using wider channels and playing much more confidently. Eastbourne did well to fight their way back into the game but we maintained energy and concentration to win comfortably enough in the end.”

Tomorrow (Saturday October 29) Boro return home to entertain Old Dunstonians, the penultimate club in the table despite beating Gillingham Anchorians last week.

As brother Jolyon was finishing 13th at the USA Grand Prix Will Palmer was recording his maiden Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 victory at the Estoril circuit in Portugal in the season’s final race.

In difficult starting conditions due to an early morning downpour the race gathered in pace as the track dried. Will got off to a good start that was disrupted twice by restarts and the deployment of the safety car as the damp surface in places caused a series of incidents. As the race headed onto its final lap, Will sat just behind the leading duo of Norris and Defourny. Heading into turn one, Defourny attempted to pass Norris for the win after the Brit made an error out of the final corner. The pair made contact and Will cut his way through

the carnage to take the lead. He saw out the final lap without trouble and took the chequered flag 6.184s clear of his rivals to secure a brilliant first win in the Eurocup category.

Will said: “It feels so great to win a race. The season has been difficult at times, but we have been coming on strong with a podium at Circuit Paul Ricard and now the win! It was a little unexpected, I was lucky with the incident between Lando and Max on the last lap, but it doesn’t put a damper on my elation of this first victory.”

Confident win confirms young Horsham’s promise London 2 South East Crowborough 15 - 28 Horsham Rugby Martin Read - Sports Reporter Horsham maintained their sixth position with a convincing win at Crowborough after leading 28-3 at the break.

Two first half tries from right winger Canice Gonzague and others from Jordan Smith and Will Bell - who shared the successful kicking with Joe Wilde - kept Crowborough on the back foot.

The Crows are firmly rooted to the bottom of the table with a points difference of minus 139 after conceding more and scoring less than any other club in the league.

Although the result was never in question they did manage to score a late converted try and then push over well into extra time.

Horsham Head Coach Nick Stocker said: “That was much

better! It was a greatly improved, solid performance from our incredibly young side. We had four scoring opportunities in the second half which we didn’t take advantage of and we lacked a bit of fluidity but we had the job done by half time and they never really looked like threatening our win. I asked our boys to be more physical and they delivered. We lost by three points at Crowborough last year so it was good to put that right, especially as we’re still depleted by injuries and have senior players missing, including Captain Tom Johnson, who’ll be absent again tomorrow, Saturday, when we’ll be at home to Dartfordians (who are third after beating Charlton Park 34-25 last week). Then we’ve got some potentially easier games up to Christmas. Realistically, we’re looking to consolidate our league status this season.”

Horsham Ladies take pride in battling draw South Clubs’ Women’s Hockey League Division 1 Horsham Ladies 2 - 2 Oxford Universities Hockey Martin Read - Sports Reporter

Canice Gonzague scored 2 first half tries

Mixed fortunes for defending champions Hawks Hawks had a mixed start to the season

Horsham fought back from an early deficit to take the lead and then battled through to share the points after Oxford scored a late equaliser.

The game started with end to end attacks, culminating in an Oxford field goal, but, five minutes later, Horsham levelled from their first short corner through an Elle Blakesley deflection. Amid a battery of set pieces Horsham increased their possession and hit the post but the score remained 1-1 at the break. On resumption Horsham’s 7th short corner was somehow kept out but they maintained pressure enabling Alicia Remfry to put them ahead in the 24th minute, only for Oxford to draw level from an un-cleared short. Horsham Captain Hannah Simpson saved at full stretch before a final Horsham attack was thwarted with both teams holding on for a draw. Post-match Hannah told the District Post: “A draw was a fair reflection. Our young

players showed definite signs of progress and we had some excellent forward attacks. We’re now pleased to have former England player Lewis Morgan on board – he’s a well-respected England Hockey accredited coach, we’re training hard and it’s great to have his support on the touchline.”

The ladies, now eighth, return to action on Saturday week (November 5) with a visit to bottom club Woking, who have lost all of their six matches this season.

Horsham Hawks U14 58 – 59 Eastbourne Lions U14 Basketball The season home opener saw Horsham and Eastbourne face off in an intense encounter featuring seventeen lead changes and seven ties.

While Horsham struggled to score it was the Lions who managed to secure a narrow lead to end the first quarter 10-13 with their slender three point advantage being sustained at the half 25-28. As the third quarter began Eastbourne exploded out of the gates to extend their lead to 27-36 while Horsham found their leading scorer on the bench after picking up a quick succession of fouls. A 17-7 Hawks run spearheaded by Lea-Clayton and Venturini brought the Hawks back into the game and the third quarter to a close with Horsham narrowly leading 44-43.

Another Hawks run to begin the fourth quarter including a basket from debutant Andre Gordon extended the lead to 54-47. Unforced errors from Horsham allowed the Lions back in the game and they regaining the lead with less than 30 seconds remaining. A Lea-Clayton jump shot with 8 seconds to go put the Hawks ahead once more by a single point. Eastbourne drove to the basket and despite missing secured an offensive rebound which was converted to a score as the buzzer sounded to take the victory in an enthralling contest.

Scorers: Josh Lea-Clayton - 24, Josh Tavolieri - 16, Harry Rose 10, Miguel Venturini - 6, Andre Gordon - 2, Oliver Brooker, Anaya Wakefield.

Horsham Hawks U14 118 – 86 Brighton Cougars U14 After a see-saw first quarter that saw Brighton take an early 17-20 advantage the Horsham Hawks went on a huge 28-6 run.

Well executed scores from Josh Tavolieri, Harry Rose, Miguel Venturini and twenty first half points from Josh Lea-Clayton helped the Hawks take a commanding 64-48 lead going into the interval.

The Hawks continued where they left off in the second half extending the lead to 97-66 at the end of the third quarter with Andre Gordon, Anaya Wakefield and Oliver Brooker all hustling hard and getting on the scoresheet.

Strong inside play in the fourth quarter from Horsham’s Josh Tavolieri, who scored a team record 51 points combined with strong shooting from Lea-Clayton (27 points) and powerful drives from Rose (18 points) helped the Hawks to a convincing 118-86 away win.

Scorers: Josh Tavolieri - 51, Josh Lea-Clayton - 27, Harry Rose 18, Miguel Venturini - 12, Oliver Brooker - 4, Anaya Wakefield – 4, Andre Gordon – 2.

After twice squandering the lead Horsham’s long journey home was reflective rather than triumphant - three points had beckoned but somehow failed to materialise. Banbury encounters have proved challenging and this one was no different, despite Horsham dominating the game - only for defensive errors to deny them. Banbury fouls reduced them to nine on the pitch, prompting all out Horsham attack. With Horsham left vulnerable at the back, the hosts seized upon the opportunity to go one up, but Ellis Woolley soon drew the scores level from a short corner.

Early in the second half buoyant Horsham took the lead when Joey Humphreys jinked past the keeper to slot home. But, again Banbury, down to ten men through fouling, scored. Woolley though restored Horsham’s lead from the penalty spot. Only five minutes remained but Horsham failed to close the game down, enabling Banbury to

steal a draw while still a man short.

Horsham Team Manager Al Campbell said: “We should have won – we let them off the hook twice. Normally we defend well, but this time we

It was a disappointing result after we were in front so close to the finish.. let ourselves down. We ought to have taken advantage of their send offs, but we can’t complain about drawing after defending like that!” Horsham Captain Andy Isaacs added: “It was a disappointing result after we were in front so close to the finish, but we’re still third – just two points behind current runners up Spencer. In our first season at this level we’re aiming to consolidate with 30 points.”

Tomorrow, Saturday, Horsham return home to take on 7th placed Oxford Hawks, who lost to Havant 2-0 last week.

Good away win for mid-table Hornets Triathlete Issy breaks records Lee Carney scores Horsham’s second goal

Tom Lawley celebrates scoring Horsham’s third

at world’s largest event Triathlon Dave Snith - Sports Editor

Photos by John Lines Ryman League Division One South South Park 1 – 3 Horsham Football Dave Snith - Sports Editor Horsham bounced back from the home defeat at the hands of Greenwich Borough to take all 3 points back home from Reigate after a fine victory over South Park.

The match got off to a scrappy uneventful start but the home side should have taken the lead in the first couple of minutes when a poor pass from Lee Carney allowed Joe Jackson in on goal only for the striker to fire wide and not bother Josh Pelling. However, in their first meaningful attack of the match, Horsham took the lead. With 12 minutes played some good close play between Steve Metcalf and Terry Dodd ended with Metcalf’s deflected shot deceiving Park ‘keeper James Wastell and finding the net.

Horsham were then pegged back only 4 minutes later when Jackson made up for his earlier miss by taking advantage of another Horsham defensive error, this time from Scott Harris, to squeeze the ball past Pelling for the equaliser. Horsham lost Lewis Hyde to what looked like a hamstring injury; Hyde being replaced by Alex Duncan. Instead of the early two goals jerking the match into life the game settled back into the scrappy contest witnessed in the opening 10 minutes. There were half chances – the best of which falling to Hornets’ Dodd and Park’s Asa Rixon-Nicholls – but 2 minutes before the break Park should have gone in with the lead when Dan Moody escaped the attention of Ashley Jones before shooting wide with only Pelling to beat.

Horsham must have had a few ‘words of encouragement’ from manager Di Paola because they came out for the second 45 minutes with a far greater sense

of urgency. Dodd was replaced

by Tom Lawley as the Hornets continued to have the better of the play with Liam MacDevitt’s tricky play becoming a threat to the home defence. The good play and pressure was eventually rewarded when with 71 minutes on the clock MacDevitt found Carney in the area and the Horsham midfielder’s shot crept in from a tight angle. The goal brought the home side to life as they desperately tried to force the equaliser; Kieran Lavery and Jerry O’Sullivan both having good opportunities to score. Pelling then had to twice be at his best to deny Rixon-Nicholls before Horsham wrapped things up in injury time when Lawley rode a challenge to go through on goal and beat Wastell with a side foot into the net. The win takes Horsham to 18 points that further cements their mid-table position.

This Sunday (October 30) the Hornets play at Gorings Mead in the FA Trophy against Romford, kick off 2.00pm.

Farlington pupil Issy Hayes has won the world’s largest junior triathlon and in doing so recorded a time of 29 minutes 51 seconds making her the first girl ever in her age category to break the 30 minute barrier. The event was held at Hever Castle in Kent and the annual competition was celebrating its eighth year.

The races, with over 1300 participants, were split over two days.

The Half Iron Gauntlet’s unique swim loop around the River Eden and Sixteen-Acre Island is hailed as one of the best open water swim routes on the UK circuit.

The largely off-road run circumnavigates the estate before athletes make the dash to the treelined finishing chute beside the lake. Issy was absolutely thrilled with her performance saying that all her hard work at training with great coaching led to a comfortable victory.

Sara Whittaker, Farlington’s Director of PE and Games, said, “Sport is a vital part of life at Farlington and we believe it has a positive impact on the girls’ academic and personal lives in terms of self-confidence, health and team-building. Issy’s efforts demonstrate that hard work, repetition and constant practice are keys to successful performance.”

In the 12th minute a bad YM foul in the area conceded a penalty, Jack Maloney obliging for the

Hampshire opponents. But, just four minutes later Dean Carden restored parity on the rebound from his initially saved spot kick. Both sides responded positively creating chances, but the score remained 1-1 at the break. The second half was equally competitive with corners and chances at either end, and then Carden’s second penalty was saved at full stretch, full time ending one apiece.

In the first session of extra time YM keeper Lewis Blaney denied Horndean ahead of his team mate

Schaaf hitting the post and then putting YM in front following a near miss. A Horndean free kick was kicked off the line by Matt Simpson, securing YM’s 2-1 advantage going into the second extra period. Simpson, alone in the box then headed home a long cross, putting YM 3-1 up, but Horndean were not finished - Benny Read reducing the deficit and then having another attempt headed away.

A Simpson shot was saved before a desperate Horndean attack was scrambled away, Blaney snaring another strike as YM welcomed the final whistle.

YM Manager Peter Buckland told the District Post: “A great win for us! The sides were evenly matched – Horndean are young and energetic but we dominated extra time and did well to hold off their final push, especially as we’re still missing key players.”

In the next round on Saturday November 12 YM have an away tie against Lancing. Meanwhile, they return to league action tomorrow (Saturday) at home against 13th in the table Hassocks who have lost eight of their thirteen matches to date.

YM knocked out of cup in extra time Peter Bentley Cup - Round 3 Eastbourne United 3 – 2 Horsham YMCA Football Dave Snith - Sports Editor For the third time this season YM made the trip down to The Oval to play Eastbourne United, and like the last visit the hosts ended their involvement in a cup competition after extra time.

Despite their extra time exertions against Horndean 3 days earlier YM matched their host’s pace and energy which resulted in a pulsating end to end cup tie. YM were first to score when after 27 minutes of play referee Robert King awarded them a penalty that Phil Johnson comfortable put past home ‘keeper Phil Hawkins. 9 minutes later however United were level when after

YM’s ‘keeper Mark Fox could only parry the ball the lurking Dean Stevens bundled the it over the line. Parity only lasted 3 minutes as YM again took the lead - Sam Schaaf getting on the end of a cross from Johnson to score – an advantage that the visitors took into the break.

The second half continued at the same frantic pace as the first as both sides traded efforts on goal. With the 90 minutes played and deep into injury time YM had the game snatched from them when Callum Hart grabbed a late equaliser forcing extra time.

The hosts took the lead for the first time in the match 13 minutes into extra time through Liam Baitup and despite YM’s best efforts that proved to be the winner and the end of YM’s Peter Bentley Cup hopes for another season.
