Remember you can now recycle

plastic pots, tubs and trays.

Summertime is approaching and that means lots of picnics and barbeques. Horsham District Council is asking residents not to forget to recycle all those extra bottles, cans and plastic food trays.

Top tips for the summer party season: • Place a container next to the barbeque for people to pop their empty drinks cans, bottles and plastic burger trays in. Make sure drinks cans and bottles are totally empty and no leftover food is put in.

• Just tip all your recycling straight into your blue-top bin from the container.

• Consider using washable plates and cutlery rather than plastic knives, forks and paper plates.

• You can’t recycle plastic knives and forks but you can re-use them.

• Ensure that everything is clean, dry and loose in your blue-top bin, if food waste or liquid gets in your bin it can ruin the rest of your recycling.

To learn more about your recycling service, visit horsham.gov.uk/bins/recycling, email: hopoast.depot@horsham.gov.uk or telephone 01403 733144

Tennis ace Federer inspires A star Katy phil dennett

News Editor

Federer fan Katy Fischbacher with Alderman Sir David Wootton

Ace Horsham student Katy Fischbacher says one of the world’s greatest tennis players provided the perfect role model for her outstanding A level success.

Katy, 18, is one of thousands of students sharing delight, relief and in some cases disappointment in this year’s examinations.

But the talented young woman from Pulborough came up with the most original source of inspiration for her four A* results at A level.

Katy says seeing serial champion Roger Federer play “live” and following his career has strongly motivated her.

Pursuing her dream of studying medicine at Cambridge University is Katy’s reward for her academic suc-

cess.

The former member of Horsham Blue Star Harriers has previously shown a talent for high jumping and sprinting. Although she does not play tennis, she loves to watch it.

Katy said of Federer’s example. “I've seen Federer live three times, twice at the world tour finals at the O2 arena and once this year at Wimbledon. Seeing him play at Wimbledon was the best experience ever.

“He has inspired me to work hard irrespective of how well I’m doing, to be gracious in defeat and humble in victory. Last November Federer received the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship award, as voted for by other players; I hope that in the future I too will have an attitude that gains respect from others in my field.”

The District Post sent the comment of Katy to touring Federer, but he had not commented at the time we went to press. Katy, a student at Christ’s Hospital, Horsham... continued on page 2

Left to right: Penny Simpson, Chris Gilbert, Andrew McPhillips, Simon Simmons and Amanda Jupp Children will get an exciting return to class after holidays when their new school is formally opened.

Barns Green Primary received its keys for its new building from Chris Gilbert, managing director of developers Berkeley Homes (Southern) last Friday.

As a follow-up everyone associated with the new school is invited to attend the official opening ceremony which will take place from 11am onwards on September 12.

The ceremony will start with a formal ribbon cutting ceremony and speeches from a number of local dignitaries, with school tours and a traditional fete, featuring a jazz band, from 1pm.

At last week’s key ceremony members of the committee who were instrumental in creating the new school were present. They were headmaster Simon Simmons, Chair of Itchingfield Parish Council Penny Simmons, West Sussex County

Council member Amanda Jupp and Andrew McPhillips Development Director of Berkeley Homes (Southern).

The new school can take up to 150 pupils. A new fully integrated highspeed broadband connection will enable the school to significantly increase the role ICT will play in the curriculum.

The spacious hall enables the full PE curriculum to be taught indoors, something lacking in the previous school building.

Headmaster, Simon Simmons said: “It has been very exciting to play a key role in creating a brand new foundation on which to build the future of education in the village. The end result is a fantastic new school which I believe will provide the local children the best opportunity for success. It will be such a pleasure to welcome students and their parents to the official opening ceremony in September.”

News Phil Dennett newsdesk@thedistrictpost.co.uk

A family’s cherished reminders of holidays were among a large quantity of distinctive jewellery stolen in a raid on a house.

A burglar or burglars struck at a house near Shipley, just off the A272 between West Grinstead and Coolham.

The owners were out and it is thought a royal blue holdall with black handles, which was among items stolen, may have been used to carry the haul away.

Items taken included silver charm bracelets with the following charms either attached or awaiting attachment; Pluto, two steam locomotives, a San Francisco tram, Seattle Space Needle, Space Shuttle, Cannon, Horse and Cart, State of Liberty, liberty bell, saxophone, fan, birds of prey, hedgehog, clover leaf, two whales, maple leaf, French wine sipper, Bath bridge, Welsh lady bell, Davey lamp, mounted knight, cathedral, square tower, gatehouse arch.

Detective Constable Heidi McCall, of the Horsham priority crime team, said: "The charms were collected over a lifetime of holidays and are of high sentimental value. We would like to hear from anyone offered such items in suspicious circumstances."

Among many other items stolen were gold oval cufflinks, engraved SM,

VSOE black enamel cufflinks, Pullman Loge cufflinks, gold circular cufflinks engraved with the Welbeck Army College logo, gold charms in the shape of a clog, a horn of plenty and a baseball, and a 1965 sixpenny piece on a chain with an infinity charm. lso taken was a wooden earring box made by the owner's daughter, decorated with a heart and the inscription "For Mum".

The raid occurred between 8am and 6pm on July 25 and police hope the public will come forward with some information that might help them.

Det Con McCall said: "Again, if anyone is offered these items I would ask them to get in touch with police immediately. They are of high sentimental value and are greatly missed by their owners."

She added: "The A272 is a busy road at all times of day, and someone may recall seeing a slow moving vehicle on this stretch of road or someone walking along it, possibly with the royal blue holdall. I would also urge them to contact police."

Information can be emailed to 101@ sussex.pnn.police.uk or phoned in on 101, quoting serial 1153 of 25/7.

Hunt for missing thief Councillor Jim gets top pilot recognition Police in north Sussex have been searching this week for 36-year old Robert Conn, who is wanted for recall to prison for breaching terms of his prison release licence.

Conn, who is described as white, 6'2", slim, with light brown hair and hazel eyes, had been on prison release licence part way through a 21-week sentence for theft.

Police said in media statement that he frequented the Crawley and Horsham areas.

At the time the District Post went to press Conn had not been reported found.

Anyone who sees him is asked to contact the police as soon as possible via 101, quoting Sussex serial 950 of 28/07.

You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously by calling them on 0800 555 111.

Keeping air passengers safe might not seem an obvious concern for a councillor.

But it is top of the list for Cllr Jim Sanson as he flies aircraft in a world way beyond the debating chamber at Horsham District Council. Jim, of Monastry Lane, Storrington, usually has his feet firmly on the ground discussing local issues as a member for Chantry ward.

In another life he flies commercial planes, and one of the world’s top authorities has recognised him for meeting the latest and even more stringent safety standards.

Jim has been recognised internationally by the Federation Aviation Administration, the national aviation authority of the United States and has been accepted onto the Administration’s prestigious Airman Certification Database.

It is part of drive by the Administration to improve safety standards.

Police hunt BMW driver after road rage attack on the A264 Police are appealing for witnesses to a road rage incident on the A264 Horsham Road.

It happened at about 5pm on the dual carriageway southbound at Pease Pottage.

Police say it was a busy time for traffic, and would have forced several drivers to slow or stop to avoid colliding with the vehicles involved.

These were a white Ford Transit Connect van which had been forced to stop by a silver BMW 1-series car which had suddenly stopped in front.

The BMW driver, who had previously made an obscene gesture at the van

driver, got out of his car with a stave of some kind and approached the van.

A woman from another vehicle tried to intervene but on reaching the van the angry motorist spat in the driver's face before returning to his own vehicle and driving off.

The confrontation happened on Wednesday of last week and Sussex Police this week appealed for public help in finding the suspected BMW driver.

PC Claire Harthill, said: "This happened in the rush hour and there will have been plenty of people who saw the way in which the vehicles were

being driven.

"They will also have seen the altercation involving the drivers and I would ask anyone with information to come forward."

They are asked to email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or phone 101, quoting serial 1227 of 5/8.

Alternatively they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers without having to leave their name on 0800 555111.

The database, which appears on the agency's website at www.faa.gov, names Cllr Sanson and other certified pilots who have met or exceeded the high educational, licensing and medical standards established by the Administration.

Pilot certification standards have evolved over time in an attempt to reduce pilot errors that lead to fatal crashes. The Administration’s standards, which are set in consultation with the aviation industry and the public, are among the highest in the world.

Cllr Sanson trained to be a pilot in the USA and was granted a licence in 1999. He completed his training at the Space Coast Regional Airport , near Cape Kennedy in Titusville, Florida, USA. Cllr Sanson said: " I am surprised and delighted by the news from the Federal aviation authority of the United States of America."

According to the Administration, the new regulations stem in part from the crash of Colgan Air 3407 in February 2009. An investigation revealed that the pilot had failed three check rides, the flying equivalent of driving tests, and might not have had adequate training to respond to the emergency leading up to the crash.

Cllr Sanson won his council seat in the May elections, polling 2967 votes.

Tw o other Conservatives, Raymond Dawe and Paul Marshall, were also elected to the ward, polling 3413 a n d 2 7 7 1 respectively.

High standards get better The Weald school enjoys “bumper” results at Midhurst Rother College

Alison Collins telling family her good news

Jen Welsman celebrating with Elizaveta Steinberg whose will be studying Chinese at London University

Stairway to success Students and teachers at Midhurst Rother College at Midhurst say they are delighted with an excellent set of A Level results.

71% of A level grades were A*-C, 43% were graded A*-B, and 18% of entries resulted in A* and A grades. The college says that these results not only maintain the high standards of recent years but exceed them.

There were some excellent individual results, including: Jacob Calvo Penfold – A*, A, B (University of Exeter – Mathematics) Alison Collins – A*, A, A (University of Sussex – English Literature) Annabelle Harris – A*, B, B (University of Liverpool – Psychology) William Murphy – A*, B, B (University of Warwick – History) Styn Oomen – A, B, B (University of London (QMUL) – Mathematics) Elizaveta Steinberg – A*, A, A, B (University of London (SOAS) – Chinese Studies) Lisa Taylor – A*, A*, B (University of Surrey – Psychology) Dr Joe Vitagliano, college principal said: "A levels are a world class qualification and students at Midhurst Rother College are excelling in these challenging exams. Whilst the demands of A levels increase from year to year, the College continues to improve on its already high standards.

“Once again, a number of Midhurst students have secured places at top universities, including those in the Russell Group. The securing of highstatus university places remains a key objective of the College.

“Given the constant media coverage of the work ethic of British school students, it is a privilege to be associated with such hard working and dedicated students; their excellent results are a just reward for their great efforts.

Elizaveta Steinberg’s 2 As, and A star and B will see her through to studying Chinese at London University.

Jumping for joy Three students helped The Weald School at Billingshurst achieve a milestone as it celebrates what it called “another bumper set of results” with 84% of grades at A*-C and amongst the school’s best ever results.

The school achieved a first when three students in the same year were all accepted at Cambridge University.

Tom McCann, four A*s, will study Natural Sciences at Robinson College.

Lauren Sullivan, two A*s and two As, will study Veterinary Science at Fitzwilliam College.

Head Boy Benedict Welch, three A*s one A, will study German at Jesus College. Remy Shaieb was also celebrating after achieving three A* and one A, gaining entry to Imperial College to study Chemical Engineering as was Grace Whyman who was accepted at

Leeds to study Medicine.

Headteacher Peter Woodman said: “It has been fantastic to watch students as they get their results and see that their hard work over the last two years has paid off. Results across the ability range are again very good with our average grade per entry the highest it has ever been. Over one third of all grades achieved were at A* or A. Well done to students, staff and parents.”

Head of Sixth Form, Tom Backshall, said “About 85% of our students will go onto University with the vast majority getting in with their first choice. Whilst we are thrilled with our headline figures and congratulate the students going to some of the major Russell group Universities, we are just as

S u ss

pleased when students achieve their target grades and gain entry to their course of choice wherever it is across the country. It is really up lifting to see that the hopes and dreams of so many students had come to fruition”.

Christ’s Hospital serves strong results as Federer inspires Katy Christ’s Hospital pupils last year topped the West Sussex league tables for A levels results and the Horsham school says this year’s results remain strong with some outstanding achievements.

The results show notable successes at A2, with a solid A*- B pass rate of 72%. Additionally, a third of the cohort achieved its best ever results in the International Baccalaureate Diploma when the results were released in July with an impressive score of 37 out of a possible 45, which is equivalent to three A* grades and one A grade at A2 level with an average UCAS point score of 534.

The highest performing A2 pupils were: Miles Edwards (A*, A*, A*, A*, English at Cambridge) – Eastbourne Katy Fischbacher (A*, A*, A*, A*, Medicine at Cambridge) – Pulborough, Sussex Peggy Hughes (A*, A*, A*, A*, Gap Year) – Amberley, Sussex Tiffany Chan (A*, A*, A*, A*, A, Finance at LSE) – Hong Kong Imogen Muir (A*, A*, A*, A, Natural Sciences at Cambridge) – Exeter Dara Adedayo (A*, A*, A, A Computer Science at Birmingham) Middlesex Efosa Ayanru (A*, A*, A, Engineering at UCL) - Nigeria Rydan Giraudy (A*, A*, A, Chemistry at UCL) - Hampshire Chania Livesey-Clare (A*, A*, A, Biology at Imperial) - Brighton

Zachary Moxon (A*, A*, A, Music at Cambridge) - Birmingham Excellent performances by the IB scholars included six who scored over 40 points. These were David Reckers (42), Lucy Hindmarsh (42), Ulrika Breme (41), Esther Sorooshian (41), Safia Sangster (40) and Tony Lam (40). Their excellent

The Art Department, which teaches the Cambridge Pre-U specification, achieved outstanding results results have enabled them to accept courses at Durham, KCL, Leeds, and Imperial.

Katy Fischbacher from Pulborough, who will study medicine at Cambridge after her outstanding four A* results at A level, says her inspiration comes from tennis champion Roger Federer. She said: “He has inspired me to work hard irrespective of how well I’m doing, to be gracious in defeat and humble in victory. Last November Federer received the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship award, as voted for by other players; I hope that in the future

I too will have an attitude that gains respect from others in my field.”

The Art Department , which teaches the Cambridge Pre-U specification, achieved outstanding results again this year with two D1 grades, the Distinction 1 being a prestigious achievement in the PreU and equivalent to an A**.

Paul Deller, Head of Art at Christ’s Hospital, said: “To achieve a Distinction 1, the highest award available on the Cambridge Pre-U course and the equivalent of an A** at A level, is an outstanding achievement. To receive two D1 grades in one year is remarkable. Yelena Aleksic, Central Saint Martins, Art Foundation and Olivia Williamson, Falmouth University, Art Foundation, both worked incredibly hard and showed huge dexterity in a wide range of mediums.”

John Franklin, Head Master at Christ’s Hospital, said: “We have a strong record of attainment at Christ’s Hospital and this is another excellent year for our leavers.

We are proud that the hard work of the pupils and staff has paid off so handsomely. Our school leavers take with them the confidence and the skills that they will need to achieve success at university and beyond.”

Zac Moxon, who will be studying music at Cambridge with a Choral Scholarship, said: “I don’t think any other school could have prepared me better for university.”

“A pass rate of over 99% from a cohort of 210 students for the third consecutive year is a measure of this success, with over a quarter of our results at the highest A or A* level and 51% at B Grade or higher.

“Given the national context of fluctuating results, and the changes to linear testing, it is incredibly pleasing to see our high standards again maintained. In 28 of our A level subjects, the

pass rate was 100%.

“A-levels are tough qualifications and I am immensely proud of how well our students have achieved at this level again.

“This is a mark of their commitment, sheer hard work and the dedicated support from their great teachers.”

Mr Wergan added that the school was impressed with the high achievements of its very academically able students.

Max Binkle had the highest attainment with 3A* and 2A grades which secured him a place at the University in Munich to study Physics.”

Six students attained 4 A* and A grades. Tom Halmos is going to Imperial College to read Biochemistry, Jennifer Mason will also be at Imperial College to read Mathematics with a year in Europe, Jamie Luxford will study

Leeds University.

Mr Wergan said: Alongside these, there are many other excellent sets of results, including many which represent real achievements for the students concerned, even though they may not hit the headlines. As a comprehensive school we also pride ourselves on offering opportunity as widely as possible. We are equally proud of all our students who have worked extremely hard. Our dedicated teachers and support staff all play their part in supporting the students through their most challenging periods in education.

“As one of only 38 State Boarding Schools in the UK, Sixth Form College boarders at Steyning demonstrated that they have already made a successful transition to independent learning and living with progression routes to UK and overseas universities with others taking up deferred places following gap year placements.

“There were also excellent performances in the AS examinations by our Y12 students, suggesting an equally promising group for next year’s A level, BTEC National and Music Practitioner.

At AS level the following students attained 4 or more grades at A; Atticus Albright, Matthew Cheung, Rosie Dommett, Mehmed Mattias, Mark Nader, India Nathan, Ben O’Brien, Ellie Tosey, and Calum White. Year 12 students have laid excellent foundations for the coming year and we know that they will continue to strive to reach the highest standards in their learning and enrichment opportunities.”

Snake in well prompts Scarecrows head to Warnham Show warning from the RSPCA

A snake stuck down a 20ft down a well at Horsham has prompted the RSPCA to warn landowners to be aware of dangers to wildlife A member of the public contacted the charity after spotting the snake swimming around in the bottom of a well shaft on Hampers Lane.

Animal Collection Officer Julie Parsons attended the rescue where she found that the grass snake had been there for some time and was unable to climb out by himself.

The well shaft, which had a diameter of about 10ft and about 20ft deep, was covered by a broken gate and mostly hidden underneath brambles.

Julie said: “This was a really unusual incident - it was a fairly big grass snake, about three-feet long. The shape of the well meant that it was unable to climb out and would not have survived without help.

“The wells appeared to be old, unused boreholes. The farmer knew they were there but didn’t know they were so deep or exposed.

“A good thing to come out of this incident is that now the danger to wildlife has been highlighted, the wells will be filled in to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. We would urge landowners with similar exposed holes on their land to think about doing similar.

“If a member of the public is ever in doubt about the safety of any animal, anywhere, they should call the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999.”

As Julie’s attempts to catch the grass snake with a swan hook and a snake ring proved unsuccessful, for health and safety reasons, the Fire Service Technical Rescue Team was called out and managed to get the snake out of the well shaft using a carp net with an extendable pole. The grass snake was then released into the safety of the woods after the incident on July 4.

Grass snakes are non-venomous, extremely timid and will sometimes pretend to be dead if they feel threatened.

Scarecrows come out of the field and into the limelight for Saturday’s Warnham Village Summer Show.

Residents have been busy preparing the eye-catching creations for this week’s judging, which is part of the event.

W i n n e r s get a meal for four people at the Greets Inn. Judging was on Thursday and the winners will be announced at the show.

The show afternoon starts at 2pm, and there will be a fun dog show sponsored by Farthing Vets at

the cricket field from noon until 4pm , with registrations taken from noon on the Saturday. Dogs will also show off their agility in their own ring in displays of skill.

On the creative side there will be competitions for vegetables, flowers, baking , photos by children, arts and crafts. Refreshments will include a BBQ and afternoon teas.

It will be the first summer show since the village hall was re-opened after refurbishment and improvements costing about £200,000.

The original village hall was opened in 1892, and in Victorian and Edwardian times village shows such as this were major events in the community.

In 1973 a new village hall was opened, and the latest version, the refurbished hall, was officially reopened last November.

The summer show is organised to continue to promote interest in such traditional events.

Pictured are a scarecrow and dog showing agility skills.

Whilst it is difficult to quantify results, I would say that as a free paper, delivered around the whole Horsham District and picked up from selected places in the area, they are friendly to deal with, professional, very helpful with design and swift to print.

Deadline is Wednesday for a Friday print and they have NEVER let us down! We use this paper exclusively. Because it is a free paper and the best known for that around the area, the circulation is getting bigger by the week/month and therefore I would recommend highly as THE advertising vehicle to use.

Sussex brewer scoops Local entrepreneur creates a free national beer award website that supports local business

Sussex Brewer, Dark Star, has won a National Award at the Great British Beer Festival, held in London.

Their ‘Revelation’ beer was voted best beer in the ‘Strong Ale’ category in the Champion Beer of Britain competition. The 5.7% IPA style beer won through from local then regional heats, before being declared National Champion Strong Ale. James Cuthbertson, director at Dark

Star, said: “It’s great testimony to the work the brewing team have been doing, not only to innovate with new beers, but making sure that our permanent beers, like Revelation and Hophead, are the very best they can be, all of the time. The Sussex brewing scene has never been stronger, with so many great brewers like Downland, Burning Sky and of course, the legendary Harveys, to mention but a few.”

Horsham based entrepreneur, Antony Stonham has created a website that is fun and engaging and supports local businesses and communities in a way never seen before.

In just over 18 months Local Puzzle players visited over 2,000 independent businesses across 450 towns in the UK and spent well over half a million pounds with them. As well as the retailers seeing an increase in profit, players have pocketed over £40,000.

Players collect points by shopping at independent stores, emailing a copy of their receipt and taking part in promotional activities. Retailers don’t have to purchase any new equipment and are entered for free, but can become “premium retailers” by profit sharing with the Sussex based company. This enables them to create targeted campaigns that drive additional consumers to their store.

Antony Stonham, owner of Local Puzzle said: “My mission is to make sure that as Local Puzzle grows, the majority of the money it makes goes back to the people involved and our customers, it would be cool to make a huge global business out of being generous on local level.”

Charities, local schools and community clubs are also included in Anthony’s plans, with a further £6,500 being donated at the end of the year.

Players win “votes” that decide where the charitable donations are placed,

ensuring that the causes involved are popular with the people who generate the money.

Lucinda from Westons Farm Shop, Itchingfield said: “We joined Local Puzzle as premium members in January and it's been a huge success for us. We contacted Anthony after so many of our customers asked us to sign up. When he explained the scheme it was a no-brainer decision.

Since then we've noticed a major rise in new customers who are coming from across Horsham and from window shoppers who are now coming in to buy. The trade figures on our trade

The reporting feature also allows retailers real-time information about their shoppers, something that has been met with great enthusiasm. Ian, from Taylors Dry Cleaners, Horsham reflected: “Local Puzzle is a fun way to generate extra income for local businesses. I can monitor how many customers I’ve had and how much they’ve spent through my own ‘Trade Dashboard’, it seems to me like a great idea for everyone involved.”

100 Not Out this September Singleton and East Dean Women’s Institute (WI) – the first WI to be formed in England – will host this once in a lifetime event on Tuesday 8th September 2015 at the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum, Singleton.

The Museum is pleased to welcome Janice Langley, Chair of the National Federation of Women’s Institutes, who will attend the centenary celebrations.

100 Not Out will showcase everything that the WI does best, with activities running throughout the Museum site on this special day.

WIs from West Sussex will create individual table-top displays in the Museum’s Downland Gridshell building, each commemorating the year in which they were founded.

Deborah Harwood, owner of The Textile Space and winner of West Sussex Woman of the Year in Arts 2014, will be presenting The Power of Creating, two inspirational seminars at midday and 2pm, on creative ideas, thoughts and plans.

The WI’s enduring ethos, and part of their logo is Inspiring Women and there will be a display featuring inspiring women chosen by Singleton and East Dean WI members.

Changes in how we live will feature with two full sized rooms made up in the style of 1915 and 2015 to show in detail what huge changes have come about within our homes.

The Museum and the WI The WI movement in Britain began in 1915 under the auspices of the Agricultural Organisation Society (AOS). The AOS set up a Women’s Institute sub-committee, to which Lady Denman was appointed as chair. The first English branch of the WI opened in Singleton, West Sussex, in November 1915. The original meeting place was a pub called The Fox at Charlton near Singleton and East Dean. The pub still exists today is now named The Fox Goes Free. Sussex is also the oldest County Federation – formed in 1917, divided into West and East in 1919 – with its area covering rural areas from the South Downs to the coast. By 1917, 137 WIs had opened across Britain.

The Weald & Downland Museum and its local WIs have always had strong links – with ten local institutes contributing toward the founding of the Museum in 1967.

The Museum is proud to play host to the WI’s centenary celebrations.

Tickets and how to participate Tickets for WI members to attend the event are just £9 per person and must be booked in advance. Tickets are also available on the day, priced at standard admission – see the Museum’s website for details.

Tickets for Deborah Harwood's talks must be bought separately from Kate Shaw on 01243 811203 and are priced at £2.

Individual WI members wishing to buy tickets are invited to call the Museum on 01243 811021 or email courses@wealddown.co.uk to book.

Group bookings should be made via WIs please. The admission fee covers full access to the Museum and its 40-acre site.

‘Aerotoxic’ launch meeting huge success

Josiah Holloway

aerotoxicfilm.com

Horsham Park Barn hosted a meeting that discussed the progress for upcoming film ‘Aerotoxic’ between 7pm until 10pm on Monday evening, August 10.

Multi-award winning company Fact Not Fiction Films, who claimed the Best Small Business in Sussex Award, in both 2009 and 2011, is producing the feature length documentary.

Producer and former airline captain, Tristan Loraine said: “This is the ultimate documentary needed to inspire change. We are facing a scandal of epic proportions.

“Our last documentary ‘Shady Lady’ (2013) was an Academy Award Contender and we believe ‘Aerotoxic’ will have an even greater public

appeal.”

The meeting served to outline the future development of Aerotoxic and provide more information on the film’s objectives.

All aircraft, with the exception of the Boeing 787, have a design flaw that puts anyone who boards a plane at risk from exposure to a complex cocktail of hazardous chemicals when the air they breathe becomes contaminated. The effects of exposure to contaminated air were finally defined in 1999 as ‘Aerotoxic Syndrome’, despite having been documented since the early 1950s.

These chemicals can be extremely harmful and are both a health and flight safety risk. Cancer rates are reported to be 10 times over the national average among British Airways cabin crew. Contaminated air exposure can be disastrous when exposed to those who are medically vulnerable, specifically pregnant women and their unborn children.

Fact Not Fiction Films plan to unveil

this information in the upcoming film.

Beth Moran from the Aerotoxic production department said: “I’m really excited to be part of a dynamic team that’s working so hard to unveil an issue that could impact anybody who flies.

“This film is so important because it’s all about making air travel safer.

It’s incredible to be a part of something that could potentially improve the quality of the air on aircraft.”

The investigative documentary will tell Tristan Loraine’s journey from training to be an airline pilot in the early 1980s in the USA, to discovering aviation’s darkest secret. In 2001 he was informed by a colleague about the effects of Aerotoxic Syndrome and in 2006, was ill health retired as a consequence of inhaling toxic fumes on the aircraft he flew.

Tristan subsequently retrained at the National Film and Television School and set up Fact Not Fiction Films Ltd to raise awareness of the issue.

The documentary will also reveal evidence and conduct exclusive interviews with globally respected scientists, that will provide deeper insight into a problem that increasingly needs solving.

A cabin crew member who attended the meeting but did not want to be named said: “I think it’s outrageous and incredibly worrying that in this day and age we aren’t being warned about the potential health risks.

“You could fall really sick and not even realise what caused it, you’d probably end up blaming some dodgy food you ate while on holiday. ” For more information on the film and how you can help support it visit: aerotoxicfilm.com, or alternatively to find out more on Aerotoxic Syndrome go to gcaqe.org

Simon & Garfunkel tribute 24 Hours show comes to Horsham from Tulsa: Rembering Gene Pitney (1940-2006)

It has been 50 years since the most successful Folk/Rock Duo of all time recorded their first no1 hit single,The Sound of Silence.

Following it’s West End success at the Leicester Square Theatre, London in February 2015, ‘The Simon and Garfunkel Story' is currently the biggest and most successful No 1 touring theatre show, celebrating the lives and career of Folk/Rock sensation Simon and Garfunkel.

Featuring seasoned West End, award-winning leading man, Dean Elliot (Buddy Holly in 'Buddy - The Musical'), and a full cast of talented actor-musicians, the show takes us back through the 'Groovy' times of the 1960s. It tells the story of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, from their humble

beginnings as Rock ‘n’ Roll duo 'Tom and Jerry', right through their massive success, dramatic break-up and finishing with a stunning recreation of the 1981 Central Park reformation concert.

Using a huge projection screen, the show features photos and film footage from the '60s, whilst a full live band perform all their hits, including, 'Mrs Robinson', 'Cecilia', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'Homeward Bound', 'Sound of Silence' and many more!

With every performance creating a standing ovation, this is an evening not to be missed!

Performance takes place on September 30. For further information and to book tickets contact: The Capitol Theatre, Horsham.

During the 70’s/80’s at a time when tribute shows were unheard of, Tommy Carey toured his Gene Pitney show with amazing success.

He played summer seasons in Spanish hotels and his show was the biggest draw in Ireland’s booming Cabaret circuit. Gene even attended one of Tommy's show’s and congratulated him on his life like impersonation of him.

Now as we approach the 10th anniversary since the death of the great man, Tommy takes his 'Remembering Gene Pitney (19402006) 24 Hours from Tulsa' show on its first tour of the UK, with his Big Band and singers and audio visuals, visiting Horsham's Capitol Theatre on September 26.

Step back to the 60’s, and the greatest hits of Gene Pitney, and re-live the magic of “Backstage”, “I’m Gonna Be Strong”, “Something’s Gotten a Hold of my Heart” and many more.

The illustrious history of our Horsham store dates back to 1925, when Messrs. Scott & Sargeant opened their premises at 26 East Street. The business flourished and grew and allowed the shop to take over the adjoining property. In 2004, nearly 80 years later, Scott & Sargeant became a Steamer Trading shop when the owners

decided to retire. When we had finished the shop had grown into no.28, next door, and acquired wonderful new spaces for displaying fabulous kitchenware – and even a café. Today, our Horsham store is a real emporium, with a fantastic selection of everything for the kitchen and table spread out over 7,000 sq.ft.

PETs POST

Sponsored by

Welcome to our monthly ‘Pet Post’, a section dedicated to news, advice and stories from the lives of our loveable friends. This week our sponsored columnist Abbi Moon from the Horsham branch of the RSPCA talks about caring for pet bunny rabbits.If you have any stories, pictures or tips you would like to feature in this section, please email dpearson@thedistrictpost.co.uk. We hope you enjoy the read.

How to prepare for bringing a rabbit into the family

abbi moon RSPCA

My daughter, Summer, has been asking for a pet. She asked for kittens or puppies.

I explained why I didn’t feel a cat or a dog was the right pet for us, plus there is the small issue of my animal allergy which developed whilst I was pregnant with Summer. Whilst I don’t mind taking anti-histamines when I volunteer at the RSPCA cattery in Roffey, having to take them just to live in my own home would be a step too far.

Summer thought about this,

then came to me, “Mummy, do rabbits live outside?” Innocently, I answered that some live indoors and some outdoors, it depends on the rabbits. She had me. “We can get rabbits then Mummy!” Within days, the names for the rabbits had been chosen and, a year later, she still talks excitedly that we are going to get rabbits soon.

Rabbits aren’t an ideal pet for children. They have very complex needs so aren’t easy to look after and they can live for 12 years; which means Summer could leave home before they do!

And that’s the important thing; pets should not be thought of as being just for children; as Summer’s parents we are responsible

for making sure they are happy and healthy and so they need to be part of our family. So, has the our family got what it takes to keep rabbits happy?

I started doing my research on the RSPCA website, rspca.org.uk/ rabbits. The diet seems easy - hay available at all times, leafy green veg, some rabbit pellets and constant access to fresh water.

My biggest worry is cre-

ating the right environment. As well as a weatherproof shelter (usually a hutch or playhouse), they need permanent access to a large exercise area so they can run around and have fun. They need to have lots of enrichment, such as platforms and toys as well as places i n which they can each hide and areas in which they can dig. We also need to make sure they are safe and secure f r o m any potential

predators.

We’re having to be creative on how we fit this into our garden.

Rabbit housing has developed over the years as people realised a hutch is not enough and we’re planning to use special rabbit tunnels to connect the shelter to the exercise area to make the most of the space we have.

Rabbits are sociable and normally prefer to be with another rabbit, so we are getting two. Luckily, where to get the rabbits from isn’t an issue! Although RSPCA Sussex North doesn’t do rabbit rehoming, plenty of our neighbouring RSPCA branches do, so it’s just a short hop to rspca.org.uk/findapet to find the newest members of our family.

Look at the signs - could your pet be stressed?

Some stress in the lives of dogs and cats is normal, but it can become excessive and possibly lead to behaviour problems.

Change can be a major source of stress for many pets – they can find it difficult to adapt to variations in their environment or routine. Like us some pets adapt to a change much more easily than others.

Many common situations are stressful for our pets: Moving house New members of the household e.g. new pet or baby Multi-cat households Sudden noise e.g. fireworks, thunder Kennel or cattery visit Grooming Travel Being left home alone Another cat moving into the territory How do you know if your pet is stressed?

Our pets cannot tell us how they are feeling and coping – but they can change their behaviour and let us know in this way. There are many different ways pets can show stress, and some are more easily recognised than others.

Stress can sometimes be difficult to recognise as some cats and dogs show stress by subtle withdrawal behaviours. They may interact less, hide away and perhaps stop going into certain parts of the house. Cats may also rest in higher places (e.g. top of the wardrobe instead of their usual chair) to feel more secure.

Common expressions of stress include:

House soiling Habits such as excessive licking and grooming Changed demeanour or posture Changes in the use of their environment e.g. stops entering a certain room Increased hiding or resting in a higher place (cats) Increased or decreased interaction with other people or other pets Changes in appetite, sleep patterns and play What can you do if you think your pet is stressed?

Contact your veterinary practice and make an appointment for your pet to be seen. A vet or nurse will assess if the behaviours shown by your pet are caused by a medical problem which requires treatment.

This may involve tests, e.g. blood or urine tests.

They can then discuss management options with you which may include behaviour modification techniques.

There are a number of natural products, proven to help manage stress in dogs and cats and help them adapt to change. These products are described as nutraceuticals and are not usually associated with any side effects. They are normally palatable, easy to give with food and only usually need to be given once daily.

Most behaviour problems will also benefit from behaviour modification techniques. A member of the practice team or behaviourist can often advise a programme which is right for your pet – this may include referral to a behaviour specialist.

Patient profile: Dusty the very hungry husky

THE UK'S NO.1 BEST REVIEWED VET PRACTICE *

Dusty, a 12 year old Siberian husky was presented to Arun Vets after having swallowed whole an entire corn-on-the-cob, pilfered from the kitchen bin.

Upon examination Edric Cross, MRCVS could not determine if the cob was stuck in Dusty’s oesophagus or stomach, so X-rays were needed to identify where the cob was located to prevent future complications for Dusty.

The X-rays showed that the cob was stuck in the stomach and surgery had to be carried out to remove it as it was too big to travel safely through the intestines.

Dusty was taken straight in to theatre for surgery. This involved making an incision into the abdominal wall, and then a further incision in the stomach where the cob was located. Once removed, the stomach was flushed and closed back up.

This type of surgery is common in Veterinary practices because so many animals like to eat things they

shouldn’t! When having to remove a foreign body from the abdomen (or for any other number of abdominal problems) we call this an exploratory laparotomy or ‘ex-lap’.

The ex-lap is a large incision made into the abdomen as a way to visualize the organs and determine the source of pain or the extent of injury.

Further surgery is then carried out to rectify any problems.

The risks of this surgery are very high because the gut is full of bacteria, and if organs rupture during surgery or internal sutures break down then contamination and infection can occur. This is why it is important to keep the procedure as sterile as possible and to have antibiotics post-surgery.

Dusty went home that night with pain medication, antibiotics and strict rest to make sure his internal sutures did not break down.

A week on and Dusty is recovering well. Let’s hope he keeps out of the bin from now on!

Are you market ready?

Tim Cattini, Manager of Guy Leonard & Co Estate Agents in Horsham, gives some advice about getting ready for the autumn property market August is traditionally a quiet time in the property market.

With so many families on holiday buying and selling homes takes a back step. But for some this is a very important time. This is the month that can be spent getting ready for the autumn market - as September is the month when things usually hot up again.

Getting one’s own house in order has never been more important. Good condition and appearance are crucial to getting top price and beating the competition to the best buyers. Yes, selling property is a competition. There are other houses and apartments that are vying for buyers’ attention. So spending time and even some money in preparation can be very important.

Tastes are changing all the time. What is in one year is out the next. When this relates to clothes keeping up-to-date is relatively easy. But property is a different matter altogether. However there are ways to ensure that a house is market ready without too much expense.

So here are a few golden rules when preparing your property for the market: Debug: All rooms should be kept particularly clean when buyers are on the prowl – especially kitchens and bathrooms.

De-clutter: it is vital to make the space look as large as possible.

There should be a place for books, magazines, clothes, kitchen utensils, etc. and all these things should be in their rightful places.

Removing just one piece of furniture from a room can often make a big impact to the sense of space.

De-colour: Gloss black, orange and purple walls may be some people’s idea of great interior design. But many buyers would run a mile. Repaint in white or light grey – it looks clean, offends no one and makes rooms look larger.

The uplift in value should far outweigh the cost of the work and materials.

De-smell: we are used to our own house odours but others aren’t. It’s best to remove spicy foods from the menu for a while.

Open the windows; buy flowers; make some fresh coffee and perhaps light a good candle or two before potential buyers arrive.

De-noise: Does your property sound good? Is there loud music playing or an off-putting television in the background? Turn them off. Are there young children screaming? Turn them off too. Let peace reign. Or if there is ambient noise from outside such as traffic or aircraft play some low level calm music to sooth the ear and deflect attention.

Finally don’t forget the first impression. You will never have a second chance. Most unkempt front gardens precede an unkempt house. Cut the grass. Prune the plants. Hide the dustbin. Store away the red plastic slide that had faded to pink in the sun.

Follow these rules, price sensibly and you will be on your way to sweet-smelling selling success.

You will be gone long before your fellow sellers - ever wake up and smell the coffee.

Put another way, if you don’t love where you live no one else will! If you’d like some advice on selling your home in the current local property market, please contact Tim at Guy Leonard and Co on 014034 248222 or email timcattini@guyleonard.co.uk.

Horsham parkrun attracts hundreds each week Horsham Parkrun Dave Smith – Sports Editor

Horsham parkrun nears its first anniverary

As the Horsham parkrun races towards its first anniversary the free to enter – open to all – volunteer organised - weekly run continues to grow from strength to strength.

Last week, at the height of the holiday period and amid uncertain weather, the parkrun attracted 208 runners, 20 of who were first timers and 52 more achieving personal best times: the week previous a re-

cord 340 runners had taken part.

The Horsham parkrun takes place every Saturday in Horsham Park at 9.00am and is run over a 5k course, intended for all ages and capabilities, and contained completely within Horsham Park.

First timers are required to complete a one off on line entry form found on the parkrun website; once registered and armed with a printed off barcode all that is needed is to turn up and take part.

Tomorrow, August 22, the parkrun elephant that is part of Horsham Rotary Club’s ‘Elephantastic’ trail and is situated in The District Post office window during the week, will be paying a visit to

the park during the run. September 5 marks the Horsham parkrun’s landmark occasion of its first anniversary and the organisers and regular runners would welcome new faces along to either take part, help with the organising or to simply watch and get a feel for what it is all about.

After the run coffee, and the odd cake or two, is enjoyed in the Conservatory Cafe so why not take up the chance to have some fun and meet some people while improving your own fitness.

The parkrun website to register at is www.parkrun.org.uk/horsham and in addition there is a facebook page – Horsham parkrun

Jolyon returns to free practice at Belgium’s Spa circuit Motor Sport Dave Smith – Sports Editor Jolyon Palmer will return from the Formula One season’s summer break by taking part in the free practice sessions at the Belgium Grand Prix taking place on the famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit this weekend.

The Southwater driver will complete the 90 minute session in his role as the Lotus F1 Team’s third and reserve driver.

Jolyon has driven the team’s 2015 car, the E23 Hybrid, in the last three FP1 sessions, starting with the Red Bull Ring in Austria, his home race in Britain at Silverstone and then the Hungaroring in Hungary.

Palmer has raced on the famous 4.352-mile circuit in Spa a number of times before and the 2014 GP2 Champion finished on the podium at the track with a third-place finish in last year's sprint race, on his way to claiming the championship

title.

Palmer said: "After a few weeks of summer break, I can't wait to be back in the car at Spa, which is such a legendary track. It is a circuit that I know well and hopefully it will suit the E23 Hybrid more than the last couple of races."

The Southwater driver will complete the 90 minute session in his role as the Lotus F1 Team’s third driver Following Belgium, in the next race in the Formula One calendar on September 4, Palmer will compete in free practice at the Italian Grand Prix on the famous Monza circuit.

Hat-trick of wins for Pulborough throughout busy week Bowls Jane Gray – Pulborough BC

Pulborough had 3 wins during the week

In the closing weeks of the 2015 season, Pulborough BC has a busy timetable of friendlies to play, both home and away.

First up this week Pulborough played host to Horsham Park. 4 triples played in the Afternoon sun and by halfway, the scores were close, with 2 rinks to each team.

Horsham fought hard to turn the scores around and managed to win on 1 rink by 6 points, but the other 3 Pulborough teams were less forgiving, with top rink for Pulborough going to Skip, Jan Barnes, with lead, Derek Swaffield and number 2 Treacle, 25/13.

Mick Ralph and team were close on their heels with an impressive 21/14 score line and Colin Andrews and team, pulled it back from 8/8 at halfway to 20/14 after a 6 on end 11. Final score - Pulborough 78 – 59 Horsham Park.

Next to face Pulborough at home were Henfield. 4 rinks played 21 ends of impressive bowls, with

just Len Adsett and team being held to a draw at 16/16 after their opponents pulled 5 shots out of the bag on the last 2 ends to level the scores. Skip, Ivan Salmon and team, snatched victory from

Paul Day, Craig Jupp, Roger Jupp and George Lewis only allowed their opponents to win 7/21 ends and just 14 shots compared to Pulborough’s 31 the jaws of defeat to move from 2 shots down on end 18 to 3 ahead on end 19 and victorious 18/17 on end 21.

Paul Day, Craig Jupp, Roger Jupp and George Lewis only allowed their opponents to win 7/21 ends and just 14 shots compared to Pulborough's 31; some heavy scoring

saw them take the lead from end 3.

Skip John Brown, with lead, Derek Swaffield, number 2, Mike Richards and number 3 Chris Etherington, were ahead from the start and finished with an end in hand 36/14 and top rink! The final score was Pulborough 101 - 61 Henfield.

Lancing played host to Pulborough on a humid Sunday Afternoon, with acrobatics from Eastbourne's air display over-head and some skilful manoeuvres from the players on the green.

Out of 5 triples, 3 went in Pulborough's favour, with top rink going to skip, Len Adsett, with lead Melvin Green and number 2, Arthur Varndell, after a 6 on end 8 doubled their score and kept them well ahead for the rest of the game to finish 27/10.

Paul Day and team used the tea at halfway to re-fuel and re-focus with their best bowls being saved for last, to achieve 21/8 at full time. John Brown and team won 20/10 and Malcolm Gray and team pulled out a 7 on end 14 to pull level and finish 16 shots a piece. Final score Lancing 58 – 94 Pulborough.

Crablands claw back against Storrington In a rain spoilt week, Billingshurst sail past Southwater Bowls John Wharmby – Storrington BC

Billingshurst's match against Southwater escaped the rain Bowls Keith Barraclough – Billingshurst BC With the scheduled home match with Maltravers cancelled due to continuous heavy rain it was a quieter week for Billingshurst.

Billingshurst 77 – 40 Southwater Billingshurst hosted Southwater for an afternoon match and right from start put the visitors under pressure who by half-time were 13 shots adrift. Southwater fared no better during the second session as ‘Hurst forged ahead to win by 37 shots and claim a “home and away” double over their local opponents.

Top rink for Billingshurst went to Robin Clark, Betty Weller & Alan

Readshaw (+31).

Robin Clark, Betty Weller & Alan Readshaw won 33-2 Marion Clark, Barry Gilbert & John Bennett lost 14-16 June Bennett, Stan Morgan & Geoff Weller won 15-11 Chris Laker, Roy Lawrence & Alan Knight won 15-11 Autumn Cup - 2015 The 12 entrants were drawn into 2 groups of 6 with each member playing the others in their group a game of 4 ends. The 10 end final between group winners Barry Gilbert and John Bennett resulted in an 8-7 victory for the former. Group runners-up were Alan Knight and June Bennett.

The visit of Crablands B.C. midweek piled on the pressure for Storrington to climb up the league table.

Paul Leatherbarrow’s game seemed to augur the right result as his team easily pulled ahead to win 25 – 10, while Peter Newman’s team struggled to hold their opponents to a narrow win by 2 shots.

David Ogley’s team also seemed to be holding its position, drawing 8 – 8 after 7 ends, but they slowly lost ground to finish 5 shots down.

This meant that Howard White’s team could play a relaxed game for Storington to take the major points. At 8 all, the pace seemed to be going Storrington’s way. But then relaxation changed to dormancy, as they lost the next 15 shots.

By then there was no holding Crablands who took another 9 shots while Storrington only managed 4, resulting in a final game score of 12 – 32. Final score Storrington 74 – 82 Crablands and 4 – 6 league points.

Mike Obrien, R. Naldrett, Harry Kendall & Paul Leatherbarrow won 25-10 Neil Tewsley, Richard Pettet, John Rimmer & Peter Newman won 20-18 P. Monk, Geoff Page, Gerry Newman & David Ogley lost 17-22 Tony Gledhill, Peter Smith, Chris Walter & Howard White lost 12-32.

They went on to win by three runs when Barnt Green were unable to score nine from the final over, four being needed off the last ball. The cup winning side take on a Horsham Invitation XI this Sunday, starting at 1pm.

Martin Read – Sports Reporter

The Christopher Martin-Jenkins Pavilion was opened on Horsham Cricket Club’s John Dew ground by CM-J’s widow Judy and his brother Tim. At the well attended ceremony Horsham President Hugh Thomas said: “There was an urgent need for a proper pavilion on the John Dew ground and we are deeply grateful to Christopher’s family for making such a significant donation to make it possible. We are also indebted to the dedication of our hard working Treasurer, Colin Mitcham – Colin ensured that an ECB grant was obtained, funds were raised from members and friends and demanding planning regulations satisfied.” Hugh contin-

ued: “This is a special day and a most fitting memorial to Christopher. He was a great friend and supporter of Horsham Cricket Club, often describing it as one of England’s best grounds and played here as often as he could, as did his sons, notably Robin. Christopher is so sadly missed but it is highly appropriate that his nephew Sam is playing here today in a youth match, continuing the family legacy.”

Responding, CM-J’s brother recalled Christopher’s outstanding contribution to the game, not only as the longest serving Test Match Special broadcaster and, for many years, Cricket Correspondent of the Times and Telegraph but also author of over 20 books. Tim then added: “Christopher was described as the greatest friend cricket ever had - thank you Horsham Cricket Club for giving the family the opportunity to remember him at a place he loved to be.”

Roffey take the wind from Bexhill’s sails Billingshurst crash to defeat against Middleton Photo by John Lines

cricket

Martin Read – Sports Reporter

Saturday August 15 - Sussex Premier League Bexhill 168 All Out (56 overs) Roffey 172-2 (42 overs) Roffey won by 8 wickets Bexhill have been this season’s surprise package, winning eight of their previous 15 games - but, they have been Roffey’s whipping boys.

In June Roffey won handsomely, bowling them out for 127. This time they fared better but not by much as Roffey dismissed them for a paltry 168, a score unlikely to be sufficiently testing. Bexhill opener Shawn Johnson made 65 but there were no other significant contributions, batsmen having no answer to George Fleming’s nagging accuracy as he took 7-72 in a marathon unchanged 28 over spell, ably supported by Ben Manenti’s 3-29.

Roffey lost just two wickets in knocking off the runs, Theo Rivers hitting 16 fours in his 91 not out, partnered by Rohit Jagota with an unbeaten 63. Rohit told the District Post: “The ball was moving around – it was cloudy and there was a wet patch on the greenish pitch. The conditions really suited George and he bowled very well. Then, after a useful opening stand Theo and I

George Fleming took 7-72 in 28 overs finished off the job. He richly deserved a century but we didn’t need any more runs!”

East Grinstead won again and head the table with 377 points, Roffey retain second spot on 351 but with a game in hand. Unable to play at Horsham after heavy rain had defeated the covering system, Preston Nomads drop to third on 333, while Horsham remain fifth – with 305.

Rohit added: “We’ve got a big weekend with two home games. We’re really looking forward to it and are hoping for two wins to boost our championship chances – tomorrow (Saturday August 22) Horsham visit and then on Sunday we take on the Sussex Development XI.” Scorecard link - http://sussexcl. play-cricket.com/website/results/2356405

Saturday August 15 - Sussex Premier League Middleton 147 All Out (41.1) Billingshurst 64 All Out (28.2 overs) Middleton won by 83 runs

19-1 there was no hint of impending doom but only extras and two batsmen subsequently reached double figures, Brandon Hanley being the principal destroyer with 6-15, Hurst sinking almost without trace.

Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter

An early wicket fell but at 118-2 and Sean Heather at the crease a demanding total seemed inevitable

Billinghurst’s script for this game was to make certain of retaining Premier League status by beating bottom of the table Middleton but they forgot their lines and crashed to a resounding defeat.

Yet, at the innings break Middleton with just three wins from 16 games – one of which was a victory over Billingshurst - were none too confident.

Billingshurst had won the toss and asked Middleton to bat, the game getting underway an hour late after the ground had recovered from recent deluges.

An early wicket fell but at 118-2 and Sean Heather at the crease a demanding total seemed inevitable, despite the departure of ever-consistent Joffra Archer for 72. But, Sussex second XI’s Abidine Sakande got into his stride, taking 6-34 in partnership with Dhanushka Mitipolaarachchi (3-33) as Middleton collapsed, losing their last six wickets for 13 runs. The momentum was with Billingshurst but their innings never got into third gear. At

Skipper Ben Williams said: “Abi bowled particularly well for us and they were also impressive with the ball. The wicket was damp and we kept nicking good deliveries but we were too defensive – not positive enough.”

Tomorrow, Saturday, Billingshurst, still sixth but in urgent need of points to stay ahead of the chasing pack, start their difficult run in with a visit to perennial contenders Preston Nomads. The following Saturday in their final home game they entertain Roffey before visiting Cuckfield in the season’s curtain call.

Hornets through to next round after close battle Football

Dave Smith – Sports Editor

Sunday August 16 – FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round Horsham 1 – 0 Lancing Joe Shelley’s 67th minute penalty settled this tight, hard fought match to send Horsham into the next round of the FA Cup where they will travel to play Southern Counties East side Deal Town.

Hornets’ manager Di Paola took a chance on starting Kevin Keehan, who had missed the league victory over Broadbridge Heath through injury. The gamble didn’t pay off however as the midfielder had to be replaced by Brad Lewis after just six minutes.

The visitors, who had hit 7 goals in their last match, looked dangerous going forward but were limited to a few long range efforts by the well organised Horsham.

Both teams struggled to create a clear cut goal scoring opportunity during the cagey first half. Samir Hadi fired an effort straight at visitors ‘keeper Fidler when he should have done better before a few minutes before the break Lancing wasted a great opportunity to go ahead when Jake Mills fired the ball over from

close range with the goal begging.

Horsham came out in the second half the more determined with both Scott Murfin and Darren Boswell seeing efforts go high and wide. Murfin again had a good chance just under the hour mark but again the normally prolific striker fluffed his chance.

The breakthrough finally came just ten minutes after Di Paola had replaced Hadi with Keiron Pamment.

The Hornets substitute was fouled by Dave O’Callaghan in the area leaving captain Joe Shelley to slot the resulting penalty into the bottom corner of Fidler’s goal. The goal spurred Lancing into a series of attacks on the Horsham goal but keeper Williams had little to bother him other than one good save from the visitors Will Berry. With five minutes remaining Horsham could and should have wrapped things up but the misfiring front man Murfin again fired his effort well over the Lancing crossbar.

A late scare was dealt with by the solid Charlie Farmer before the referee’s whistle brought the game to an end giving Horsham two wins on the bounce and a trip down to the traditionally unhappy hunting ground for the Hornets of the Kent coast to face Deal Town in the next round.

Horsham Team: Williams, Duncan, Storrie, Keehan (Lewis 7), Jones, Farmer, Shelley, Hunt, Murfin, Hadi (Pamment 57), Boswell (Knee 88).

Unused Subs: Chadwick, O’Hagan, Charles.

Dan Sullivan (No. 7) scores YM`s first goal Saturday August 15 - Emirates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round Horsham YMCA 2 – 0 AFC Croydon Athletic Football Tom Norris – Football Reporter Second half goals from brothers Dan and Nick Sullivan helped Horsham YMCA see off Southern Counties East League outfit AFC

Croydon Athletic 2-0 in the Extra Preliminary Round of the FA Cup last Saturday.

Midfielder Dan slammed home from close range four minutes after the break, before Nick made sure of the victory with a trademark finish midway through the second period, securing Peter Buckland’s side a Preliminary Round tie away to Croydon’s fellow Southern Counties rivals Erith Town in a fortnight’s time.

The YM manager commented: “There was only one team I felt, but maybe I’m wrong, playing football. Their game was the long ball, looking to split you at the back and go in behind. Once we had settled down and coped with that after the first few minutes, I think that we could still be playing now and they wouldn’t have scored.

“We really seem to have turned a corner as a group and we seem to be so much more intelligent in our football. Again today, we really had to work hard. Last season we might have found ourselves now going up to Thornton Heath on Tuesday night, or worse, so I’m really pleased. I’m pleased with the entire atmosphere and camaraderie at the place.

“I was a bit concerned at half time.

I thought that we matched each other pretty much all over the pitch, toe-to-toe, although we did definitely create more opportunities.

“I said to the players at half time that they would not score if we carried on as we were. It was just a question of when we were going to score. The lads showed good composure, good togetherness and good discipline again.

“We’re doing OK in the league, although I know there have only been two games and no medals are handed out in August, and now we’re through to the next round of the FA Cup.” Goalscorers: D.
