Horsham pays respects to air show crash victims phil dennett News Editor

Residents are paying respects in Horsham to those who died in the Shoreham Air Show disaster.

People shocked by the death toll in the tragic plane crash on Saturday afternoon are signing books of condolence opened to give the community somewhere to share messages of support and sympathy.

The accident is now believed to have claimed 11 lives, including three young men from West Sussex, and is the worst of its kind to happen in the county or in East Sussex.

A coroner has warned that it could be several weeks before all investigations are completed, and names of most of the dead have not yet been made public.

One of the books of condolence will be at County Hall North, Chart

Way, Horsham, opening hours Monday to Friday 9am-5pm excluding bank holidays.

An online book of condolence is also available at: www.shorehamcondolence.org At the time of the Post going to press police believed the toll of 11 people who died after a military jet crashed on to the busy A27 during a display was unlikely to increase, after detailed examination of the large area of wreckage.

For eye-witnesses Tim Woodhatch and his son Sam, from Horsham, it was the third time they had seen a crash at Shoreham.

Tim signed the condolence book in Horsham on Wednesday and recalled the horror of the crash.

The latest disaster came as Tim and Sam watched on the corner of Coombes Road and the A27 after cycling from Bramber.

Tim told the Post that about 1.15 pm the Hawker Hunter went up and over for a flypast adjacent to the runway then up again. It then did a bank turn to the left ready to

level out over the A27.

As it levelled out an alarmed Tim said to Sam: “He's not going to make it" and the plane dropped nose up and “belly” down onto the traffic about 40 yards from where they were standing.

Tim shouted to Sam:"Run!" as they felt the immense heat and the feeling of objects hitting the backs of their legs, leaving scratches.

Tim said that after checking themselves for injuries they went back to the scene to check for survivors but had to turn away.

Tim said: “I approached one of the cars but was shouted at by several people to get back in case of a secondary explosion.

“The emergency services were on the scene immediately.”

In 2007 at the Shoreham Air Show pilot Brian Brown died when the Hurricane he was flying crashed. Three years later a pilot survived after a glider crashed on to a runway.

Great response to disaster fund (see page three).

Gardeners found themselves with their own special type of hedge fund.

Horsham Police gave £100 to Warnham Allotments Association to help fund the cutting of large overgrown hedging that borders the allotments.

The donation comes from the Police Property Act Fund made up of money received from property confiscated by order of the court and then sold.

Police Community Support Officer Tracy Field said: "The fund enables us to help support local organisations and to assist them to carry out works that benefit the community.

"I am really pleased that we were able to help Warnham Allotments Association on this occasion."

Leek master David Stevens carries off four trophies Entries were up for this year’s Billingshurst Horticultural Society annual flower show at the Billingshurst Centre.

David Stevens was the major winner, carrying off four trophies including the John Kingston Memorial Trophy for best Horticultural exhibit in the Show for his entry of “3 leeks, not pot grown”.

The show attracted 65 exhibitors with 499 entries across 135 classes in horticulture, floral art, cookery, handicrafts, photography and junior sections. Show entry numbers were higher than last year with handicrafts doing particularly well. The vagaries of the weather did not help the horticultural exhibitors who needed the rain but without damage to their prize blooms.

Carl Sawyer and David Stevens were awarded diplomas of merit for their collections of vegetables in a trug.

People give generously to Air Crash Fund

Elephantastic fundraiser praised by visitor Julie Walters

Maurice Abrahams, one of the air crash victims Well-wishers are pouring thousands of pounds into a Shoreham Air Crash fund after Saturday’s disaster.

It was set up by West Sussex County Council and Adur and Worthing Councils in conjunction with Sussex Community Foundation, a charity that raises funds for and makes grants to local charities and community groups across Sussex.

The fundraising page can be found at Go to www.justgiving.com/sussexgiving Donations can be made on the website, via text or by telephone.

Louise Goldsmith, Leader of West Sussex County Council, said: “This tragedy has affected so many people and one of the ways in which people have been showing they care is by making donations. In response to the many requests this fund has been set up so there is a central place for those donations.”

Within a short time of Saturday’s crash video clips of the plane’s last

Man sought over rape Police investigating the rape of a young woman on a footpath in Horsham have issued a photograph of a man they wish to interview.

In the early hours of August 16 the 22-year old Horsham woman left Piries bar in the town centre with a man.

They walked along East Street and down The Causeway past St Marys Church, to a footpath which goes off to the left, where the attack took place.

Detectives are keen to identify and speak with the man shown in the photograph who may be able to help the investigation.

They are also keen to speak with a group of men who we believe spoke to the woman after she was assaulted.

Detective Sergeant Jon Robeson said : “"Anyone who can identify the man, or who was in the area at the time and saw the man and woman, or who has any other information, is asked to contact Sussex Police on 101@sussex. pnn.police.uk or call 101, quoting serial 368 of 16/08. You can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

The incident is not being connected with any other recent rapes incidents in Horsham.

Officers have been making intensive enquiries in the area since the crime was reported, and the woman has been receiving expert medical and welfare support

moments were on social media and television as people near the scene recorded them on mobile telephones and cameras.

The large airfield crowd and others on vantage points near the A27 watched horrified as the Hawker Hunter failed to gain height again during a loop. It crashed on to the busy main road and passing traffic, turning parts of the road into a fireball. Wreckage was scattered over a wide area and the A27, which was badly damaged, was still closed this week while investigators examined the scene.

Full emergency plans were quickly put into operation by police, ambulance and fire teams with more than 300 police officers and many fire and ambulance crews from Sussex involved.

People near the crash tried to help despite the fierce heat and danger of explosion from fuel left on the plane and in badly damaged cars.

Among those known to have died

in the disaster are Maurice Abrahams, 76, a chauffeur and former Grenadier Guard and police officer, from Brighton; Worthing United FC players Matthew Grimstone and Jacob Schilt, who were on their way to a match, and personal trainer Matt Jones, from Littlehampton.

More than 200 people called police inquiring about relatives or friends they feared might be have been struck by the plane.

The Senior Coroner for West Sussex Penny Schofield warned earlier this week that work on identifying the victims will be a “slow and painstaking operation.”She said: “My heartfelt sympathies go to all those affected by this tragic accident, but it may be several weeks before all investigations are completed.”

The remains of the plane are now being examined by specialists at Farnborough. The experienced pilot of the plane, Andy Hill, survived the impact and was taken to hospital in a critical condition.

Acting star Julie Walters praised the Elephantastic fund-raiser when she visited the town.

Julie is pictured at the Elephant Park in Swan Walk signing two elephants for the Samaritans of Horsham and Crawley. She told the Post’s Dave Smith at the event on Wednesday of last week : “I am so happy to be here signing the Samaritans elephants today. All the elephants are so beautifully decorated and the whole thing gives so much life to the town and is so well

The food of India

organised. The children must have had so much fun during the summer going around them all. It’s wonderful.”

People are still hitting the Elephantastic trails in search of the decorated creatures and have until the end of the month.

The models will be auctioned to raise more funds for charity in the scheme run by Horsham Rotary Club.

Wisborough Green fete Youngsters reach finals at Festival hoping for sun on Monday of Code with Elephantastic entry

Organisers of next Monday’s Wisborough Green August Bank Holiday Fete and Horticultural Show have their fingers crossed for a sunny day.

Last year’s fete was dogged by heavy rain but still raised more than £3000 for charity.

The fete starts at 1pm, with dog show judging at 2pm. The village green will feature traditional sideshows, children’s swing boats, fun dog show, ferret racing, Shire Horse parade, horticultural marquee and races for the young and not so young.

Chair of the Wisborough Green Fete Committee Laura Ward said:“Despite the torrential rain last year we had a great day, with hun-

dreds of people turning out in their wellies and raincoats to support this fantastic family event. Whilst it was a rather soggy, we were still able to donate more than £3000 to a variety of local good causes including the village youth club, the stool ball team and the Sussex Air Ambulance service.”

Laura said: “We are really pleased this year to welcome back local charity Canine Partners to the event, they will be showing the fantastic work they do with a dog and handler demonstration at 1.15pm in the dog show ring.”

Further details for the Fete, Dog Show and Horticultural Show can be found at www.wisboroughgreen.org

A talented trio of Horsham schoolgirls went all the way to a final when they developed an alarm inspired by the Elephantasic fundraiser.

Maddie Embling, eight, Emily Kent seven, and Charlotte Dargue, seven, designed their “Intelligent Elephant Alarm Clock” for this year’s Festival of Code.

The creation was entered in the “Should Exist” category and judges were so impressed that the girls took their eye-catching alarm to the final, known as the finale, at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.

Their class title was won by Pedal Plan, an app designed to provide the safest possible route for cycle journeys, but the Horsham youngsters acquitted themselves well showing the alarm to the large crowd.

Youngsters had spent six days preparing at Albany House in the Bishopric, Horsham, home to hosts Red River Software and event supporters Strategic IC, working on digital prototyping.

Gavin Hewins gave the elephant to the youngsters, and it was decorated by Dorit Moshkovitz.

The girls used commonly available weather data that will wake people up according to weather or light.

They introduced into the alarm birdsong and then louder noises, including an elephant, to highlight the plight of endangered animals.

The clock will be auctioned for charity through the Horsham Rotary Club, which organised the Elephantastic Trails in the town and beyond.

People are still busy tracking the trails, with the prospect of a holiday in Nairobi for the winner. The event will raise thousands of pounds for charity.

New lease of life for La Vida Boutique

NOW OPEN

Independent fashion retailer, La Vida Boutique, is closing the doors of its Piries Place store after 16 years of trading in Horsham.

But loyal customers need not fear – La Vida is relocating to bigger and better premises in Swan Walk, opposite Marks & Spencer. The new store will open its doors on Friday 28th August and marks the beginning of a new era for owner, Donna Camera.

“I am proud and very excited to bring La Vida’s unique sense of style to a wider audience in Swan Walk.

The larger store means that we will be able to offer customers a more extensive range of products, whilst ensuring that our trademark indi-

viduality is uncompromised.”

La Vida offers an eclectic collection of products, which Donna ensures are in line with the shop’s ethos that fashion is about attitude, not age.

As well as unique fashion brands, La Vida stocks prom, evening and bridesmaid dresses.

Donna adds that her current staff joins her in looking forward to the move and will continue to offer the passion for fashion, style sense and honest advice that has kept their loyal clientele coming back over the years.

The relocation was prompted by the recent Waitrose move from Piries Place and comes at an exciting time

in Horsham’s history, with Swan Walk’s 40th anniversary approaching and a host of celebratory events in the pipeline.

“We can’t wait to be part of the upcoming celebrations and look forward to welcoming new friends and familiar faces in the next phase of development for La Vida,” says Donna.

Be sure to pop in and visit Swan Walk’s newest retail resident next time you’re in town: La Vida Boutique Swan Walk Horsham West Sussex RH12 1HQ

Hospice appeals for more Traders warned about dodging buying help in Storrington area after man fined in Horsham case

More help is needed in the Storrington area to support a hospice.

Mary Bye and Neil Francis from the St Barnabas House Fundraising Team are looking for volunteers in the Storrington, Sullington and West Chiltington area to form a Friends supporter group to help with local activities.

They say people may volunteer for as little as couple of hours a month and their support would make a huge difference to the patients and families cared for by St Barnabas House.

John Brenton, pictured, has been involved with St Barnabas House since 1978.

He is a founder member of the hospice’s Storrington Friends Group, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Since 1995 the group has raised nearly £60,000 from events as well as managing the supply of St Barnabas collecting boxes and Christmas pin badges to local businesses.

John said: “I’ve hugely valued my time with St Barnabas House and I will always be involved where I can.

Their work is so important for the community and it’s been a privilege to work with them for so long.”

Although the group says John has done a fantastic job leading Storrington Friends, he is keen to hand over the reins to a new leader or group.

Storrington is an important place for St Barnabas House. Founder Dr Francis Gusterson, who established the hospice in 1973, was a local GP and anaesthetist and lay reader in the Storrington area, and worked with John for some time at the beginning of his St Barnabas career.

There are 12 St Barnabas House Friends Groups all over Sussex, made up of volunteer supporters, and vary in size from individuals to larger groups, who help in any way they can. They raise funds for the hospice by organising events such as quiz nights, bring and buy stalls, flower shows, street collections, barbecues, tea parties and raffles. They also help raise awareness by publicising the hospice’s work in their town or village.

Neil and Mary would be delighted to see anyone interested and chat about some of ideas to help get a new Friends Group off the ground. The Fundraising Team can be contacted on 01903 254777 or by email at fundraising@stb.org.uk

Traders are being warned to be careful where they buy stock after a Horsham shop keeper was fined for selling unsafe loom bands and charms to children.

Rinku Juneja, owner of Horsham Mobile Phone Repair Centre, in West Street, pleaded guilty to breaching the REACH Enforcement Regulations 2008 at Worthing Magistrates’ Court.

He received a 12 month conditional discharge and was ordered to pay £746.50 costs as well as a a £15 victim surcharge.

Magistrates ordered the forfeiture of the unsafe loom bands.

One of Juneja’s staff had purchased the stock from a cold caller to his business.

The case has prompted West Sussex Trading Standards Officers to issue a warning to businesses to be on their guard when it comes to buying stock from unknown sources.

It was during a routine toy safety check on the Mobile Phone and Repair Centre that Trading Standards Officers made a test purchase of loom bands and charms.

Subsequent tests found that the charms were unsafe due to much higher than permitted amounts of Phthalates - a chemical substance that makes plastic softer.

Phthalates are only permitted in very small amounts however, in higher concentrations, studies have shown links to fertility problems and cancer.

Experts say children in particular are uniquely vul-

nerable to phthalate exposures given their hand-to-mouth behaviours and developing nervous and reproductive systems.

The case has prompted West Sussex Trading Standards Officers to issue a warning to businesses to be on their guard Peter Aston, Trading Standards Team Manager, said: “Where traders purchase their stock from untraceable sources they have no way of checking if the products they are selling comply

with the strict safety laws that protect our children. They will also be responsible for any products that are deemed to be unsafe if they cannot provide records of the products they are stocking.”

Trading Standards officers returned to the shop and seized the remaining unsafe stock.

David Barling, West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services with responsibility for trading standards, said: “I hope this case sends a clear message that we will take immediate action to prevent unsafe toys being sold and to protect children from the long term affects these chemicals could have.”

If you think you might have bought any unsafe children’s toys, please let trading standards know by calling 03454 040506 or report online at www.westsussex.gov.uk/tsreport

Super Sol jumps to it in GCSE success with 10 A*s Super Horsham student Sol Deller showed you can mix sport and study in this year’s GCSE results.

Sol loves nothing more than getting out on the playing field and competing in long jump at national level.

But his outstanding results how that he went to great lengths to ensure his studies were not compromised.

Thousands of youngsters across West Sussex are absorbing the success or in some cases the disappointment of their GCSE results, announced last Thursday.

And none of the pupils was more delighted than Sol, 16, a former Southwater Junior Academy pupil, who scored 10 A*/A grades.

Sol said of his double success this year : “I have little words to describe

how I feel. It’s like everything coming together at the right place and at the right time and also balancing my athletics career, having achieved the English Schools’ Standard in long jump. It’s all quite overwhelming”.

His school, Christ’s Hospital at Horsham, reports that 70.1% of all grades were at A* or A, 91.0% gained A* - B and the overall pass rate was 99.9%.

Other schools reported satisfaction with their results this year, in some cases setting new standards.

Across West Sussex students have achieved significant successes in this year’s GCSE results, early figures show.

Education authority West Sussex County Council says results, as measured by the 5A*to C including English and maths, have improved

from last year’s result of 58 per cent to about 61 per cent this year, a three per cent rise.

Of the county’s 37 secondary schools, well over half have improved their results compared to last year. Although the figures need to be validated later this year, once again the rise is likely to place West Sussex above the national average.

Jeremy Hunt, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, said: “This year’s results are a fantastic achievement and are a clear testament to how hard our students have studied throughout the year.

“Being above the national average shows the high quality of schooling in the county, whether they are local authority maintained schools or academies.”

Recalling how Horsham celebrated ‘Forgotten End to War’ after WWII

The date September 2 signalled the official end of the Second World War. Before then the last two weeks in August 2015 were ones of great celebration in Horsham as World War Two ended with the defeat of Japan.

On August 15 1945 Japan surrendered but did not formally surrender until September 2, giving rise to some confusion about when VJ day occurred. But Horsham was ready to party as soon as possible.

Jeremy Knight of Horsham Museum, with help from Julie Mitchell, recalls a momentous period that he calls ‘The Forgotten End to War’.

17 August 2015 marked the 70 anniversary of Victory in Japan. In May this year, the nation commemorated VE Day, but VJ Day is always seen as the forgotten event. Those who fought in the Far East tend to be forgotten about in the UK, though in the United States because of its history in the war, the day has great significance. In 1945, as the accounts below show, Horsham celebrated this momentous day in style. The following account has been transcribed by Horsham District Council’s Museum volunteer Julie Mitchell.

Friday 17 August 1945 CROWDS DANCE IN THE CARFAX Beginning in a small way on Wednesday morning when it became known that the war with Japan had ended, the spirit of celebration at Horsham worked up to a crescendo of jubilation as the day progressed, and the rejoicings continued throughout Thursday. Victory bells rang out early in the town to greet VJ Day and shops and houses soon blossomed forth with flags and bunting.

Many people had not heard the victory news on the radio at midnight and left home for work on Wednesday morning as usual ignorant of the fact that the war had ended. Quite a number of the shops opened for a short time in the morning but then closed for the rest of the day and the following day.

HOUR OF TRIUMPH Children carried flags and young women wore red white and blue hair ribbons.

The heavy rain in the morning did not damp the spirits of anyone for all were conscious that a heavy burden had been lifted, and that they would, in this hour of triumph, join

with good conscience in the nation’s rejoicing at the days of freer and happier times.

Under the chairmanship of Mr. R. H.Redford (Chairman of the Urban Council), a number of people met in the Town Hall on Wednesday morning and decided, in spite of the short notice, to carry on with the carnival arranged for VJ Day….

THE CARNIVAL In spite of the fact that it was arranged at a few hour’s notice, Horsham had what was probably the most enjoyable carnival in history on VJ Day, when seemingly the whole of the town responded to the call to make the day one that would never be forgotten.

The procession assembled in the Bishopric car park, and by the time it had started deep crowds lined the pre-arranged route. The procession was cheered all the way and when it reached the Carfax paper and coppers were showered upon it.

On VJ night a huge crowd in the Carfax heard the King’s speech relayed from the Carfax Bandstand. It was followed by the playing of the National Anthem and three rousing cheers.

Coloured fairy lights round the bandstand added to the festive scene.

On both nights there were bonfires in various parts of the town and on Thursday there was a huge bonfire in the Park.

24 August 1945 MORE VICTORY CELEBRATIONS Street Parties for the Children VJ parties have been held in various parts of the town.

DEVONSHIRE ROAD had one on Saturday, the chief organiser being Mrs. F. Sainsbury. She was helped by all the ladies of the road.

The tables erected in the street were gaily decorated with flags and bunting and the children were treated to a tea of sandwiches, cakes, jelly, blancmange and apples.

Games and dancing followed and the children were entertained by Mr. Howard and Mr. Horley who were dressed as clowns. In the evening a torchlight procession was held and with a drum at their head, the party paraded to the green adjoining Clarence Road where an effigy of Togo was burnt. Dancing for the adults until midnight followed.

INNES ROAD A VJ party was given, followed by sports and a social, to the children of Innes road on Saturday.

Sports were supervised by Mr. Fielder, Mr. Miles, Mr Manvell, Mr. Booker, Mr Edwards and Mr Holmes, and more prizes were awarded after which fruit, sweets and ices were served. Each child received a gift from a bran tub….Dancing and singing carried on until midnight when the party closed with cheers for the organisers and the singing of Auld Lang Syne.

VICTORY PARTY AT THE COMMON The 148 children from the district of the Common who sat down to a VJ tea on Saturday will not forget their experience in a hurry.

Representing Kempshott, Swindon, Purton and Redford roads, Spencers Place and the north end of Trafalgar road, the children had a tea of jellies, cakes, oranges, tomatoes and other delicacies. The centre piece of the tables was an iced cake with the letters VJ installed on it…A firework display concluded.

VICTORY ROAD Victory Road and Nelson Road combined held a Victory party for the children on Tuesday. Owing to the unsettled weather, tea was held in the Nelson Hall instead of Victory Road as first planned.

HAPPY GATHERING AT NELSON HALL A VJ party for the children of Milton Road, Horsham, was held on August 22. Owing to the wet weather, this took place in the Nelson Hall, by kind permission of Mr. T. Williams, the landlord of the Nelson Hotel.

BARRINGTON ROAD In common with many other streets in the town, Barrington Road decided to celebrate victory by giving the children a party on Saturday afternoon.

HILLSIDE The late warden of Post 4 gave a Victory party to the children of Hillside and The Crescent at the Wesley Hall on Saturday.

The children sat down to a tea which included fancy cakes and ices.

This was followed by a Punch and Judy show, community singing and games. Each child was given a paper hat, which together with the prizes they won at the games, they proudly carried home.

Farlington school girls Joy and some tears at The Weald celebrate “another set of superb GCSE results”

At Farlington School there was delight at the 95 per cent A*- C pass rate.

Headmistress Louise Higson, said of the school’s the school’s GCSE results: “It is another superb set of GCSE results for the girls at Farlington.

“We are very proud of their individual achievements and, with an overall 95% A* to C pass rate, there is much to celebrate.

“These excellent results are part of

the personalised, all-round education on offer at Farlington.

“Not only do the girls achieve academic success, but they also take full advantage of the wide range of extracurricular activities and opportunities on offer.

“My thanks go to the brilliant teaching staff whose passion and expertise for their specialist subjects enables all of the girls to achieve their full potential.”

Students at The Weald School in Billlingshurst are celebrating another excellent set of GCSE results.

Headteacher Peter Woodman said: “There was huge excitement, joy and some tears of relief as students opened envelopes to receive their GCSE results. Students have produced another bumper set of grades which match our best ever performance as a school with 72% of students achieving 5 or more A*-C grades or better including English and maths.

“We are pleased to see that all our students’ hard work has paid off. In recent years pass marks for the highest grades have slowly been increasing so it is gratifying to see that our headline figures have been sustained and improved within this national context.”

With over 230 students in the year group over half of all grades were at A*-B and a quarter of students achieved 5 or more GCSEs at grades A* or A. Over half of the students achieved a grade A or A* in at least one subject. 12% of all grades were at A*, twice the national average whilst 80% of all entries were at grade C or above some 11% above the national average.

There were some stunning individual performances with 23 students or 10% of the year group achieving 10 or more GCSEs at A or A* grades. Top performers included Alex Deng with 12 A*s / 1A, Elizabeth Hall with 11 A*s / 2 As, Emma Howse with 10 A*s / 2 As, Ben Ansell, Eleanor Goodier and Kyo Kaneko all with at least 9 A*s.

Mr Woodman added, “We were thrilled to see so many students getting their targets grades. These days are not just about those students getting the highest grades but about all students achieving the grades they need for their next step in education.

The culture that we have developed here at The Weald means that students are prepared to work hard and be seen to work hard by their peers.

It is fantastic to see the reaction from students when they see that all this hard work has paid off.”

Warnham parish residents Where are the gardens to our soldiers? plan their development

Residents of Warnham parish have until the end of September to have their say about how the parish should develop over the next 15 years.

The ‘Community Survey’ asks for views on matters such as where and how many any new housing should be built, what type of housing it should be, what additional facilities the community needs and where local green spaces should be preserved or extended.

It asks local land owners if they would like to see their land developed to meet the community’s requirements as identified in previous surveys of the parish.

This all part of preparing the Neighbourhood Plan which Warn-

ham, along with other parishes nationwide, is drawing up.

A copy of the survey questionnaire, which can also be completed on-line, will now arrive through the residents letterboxes shortly but should residents have questions there are five drop-in sessions planned for various venues in the parish.

The first of these will be at the Village Show on Saturday.

Two will be held outside the village and butchers shops in Church Street on the mornings of September 5 and 26.

There will be one in Warnham Village Hall on the morning of September 19 and one at The Owl in Kingsfold on the evening of September 22.

the only creative art that doesn't celebrate the triumphs of war? If one looks at all the other artistic disciplines, they all include works dedicated to the glorification of war.

To name a few, in architecture we have the Arc de Triomphe famously built by the Corsican Upstart and Emperor Bonaparte - itself copied from the triumphal arches of Rome.

In fine art, Paulo Uccello famously painted the Battle of San Marino as an early use of perspective; many artists before and since have painted and sketched some wonderful interpretations of battle.

In the post war Soviet Union, sculptures often depicted the heroes of Stalingrad and Moscow from the 'Great Patriotic War of 1941-45'. (It must be noted here that North Korea still keeps this tradition firmly alive), but again all copied from earlier civilizations.

In dance and theatre we celebrate the triumphs of Henry V or Henry Tudor or the fabled wars of the Nutcracker against the Rat King. Even the humble moustache has become a symbol of military wonder. (I am not of course talking here of Hitler's famous toothbrush, but the big bushy 'RAF' moustache recognised the country over as having distinct symbolism.)

But here's the oddity. I cannot find any example of a garden dedicated to heroic victories - save for an embarrassing 'park' and monument in New Zealand celebrating the shameful British victory in the second Maori War (Yes kids, that isn't in the National Curriculum).

Which leads me to the quandary. Is gardening and nature symbolic in being separated from other creative disciplines? Should we build a garden to celebrate all those great victories that have kept us free to say and do as we wish? (Of course Blenheim Palace was gifted in return for victories in the wars of the Spanish Succession, but is not a celebration of the victory.)

Should we in Horsham open a garden dedicated to the brave personnel of Sussex? Perhaps the quartermasters and ordnance staff deserve recognition - those who manned the vitally important weapons stores of Depot Road? It would certainly be unique and a fitting tribute to our military.

Sussex Folklore: what lies below? neil arnold Sussex Folklore

At the time of writing, summer is well and truly upon us…until of course the next bout of rain!

But with many folk flocking to beaches I thought it might be worth sharing a few stories that just may make you a tad hesitant when paddling in that salty water.

In July of this year (2015) a strange visitor; or so it would seem to many, washed up on the shoreline at Bexhill-on-Sea. A creature; described as a “gelatinous mass” was carried by the foaming waves onto South Cliff. The object appeared like something out of a sci-fi movie – a peculiar round item with a strong blue colouration.

Thankfully the “blue monster” turned out to be nothing more harmful than a barrel jellyfish; common in these parts according to the Marine Conservation Society but such a story reminded me of similar and at times stranger invasions to pepper the county. For instance; a four-foot long jellyfish was “shocking Sussex beachgoers” in Sussex recently.

The object appeared on the beach like some glazed, rubbery eye peeping out from the sand. It had most likely, according to experts been

blown to these parts by strong winds. As recently as August 2015 hundreds of jellyfish were filmed off the coast of Sussex just a few miles off Littlehampton. Even so, in spite of numerous newspapers creating panic; the creatures sighted only produce a mild sting.

But the biggest panic created this year in regards to Sussex took place in July when hundreds of sharks appeared in knee-deep water at Selsey. Although the fins may have caused those paddling to panic; the appendages belonged to what are known as Smooth-Hound sharks – found in waters ranging from those around the British Isles to the Mediterranean and also waters around South Africa and the Canary Islands. Although the sharks can grow up to a couple of feet in length they are rarely a threat and are given their unusual name due to the fact that just like dogs they tend to congregate in packs.

Another panic of the jellyfish kind has also been started this year by numerous newspapers claiming that Portuguese Man of War’s were loitering in the warming waters off west Sussex. The Portuguese Man of war – also known as ‘floating terror’ – is a large jellyfish known for its long, trailing venomous tentacles which can deliver a harmful sting.

According to press reports Selsey Bill and West Wittering were the areas frequented by such members

of the Physaliidae family although reports seemed non-existent. In 2010 however a Worthing woman claimed she had been stung by such a creature after she brushed past the jellyfish whilst swimming at Goring Gap. The sting caused her skin to come out in large lumps which were treated. A Peter Richardson of the Marine Conservation Society commented that “We’ve not had any reports of Portuguese Man O’ War this year but we’ve had a higher number of sightings over the last three years. “We’ve had larger numbers of these off the south coast in the last three years and they’ve been moving eastwards. “As far as I know nobody has been killed by one in this country but they have been known to kill in other parts of the world.”

As if the jellyfish panic wasn’t enough to force waders and swimmers out of Sussex waters, there was also weeverfish hysteria too.

Okay, so ‘weeverfish hysteria’ is hardly a suitable name for an aquatic horror film but the presence of the fish – known for its distinctive venomous dorsal fins – was enough to scare Brighton residents; with many claiming they had stood on such a fish which is often known, during the day to submerge itself in the sand and snap up any passing shrimps or small fish. So beware when frequenting those inviting waters around Sussex!

Volunteers who deliver life-saving blood have won support from a Horsham business.

Serv Sussex will be the charity of the year for Station Garage after a public vote.

Serv Sussex offers a free service delivering potentially life-saving blood, blood products and human milk to Sussex hospitals. The charity, which is made up entirely of volunteers, works from 7pm to 6am 365 days a year.

Although the NHS Blood and Transport service provides a daily delivery service to hospitals, it has no free way of transporting blood around the country out of hours.

Serv Sussex avoids the need for the NHS spending funding and resources on taxis, couriers or ambulances to deliver blood to Sussex hospitals.

Simon Morley, co-ordinator for Serv Sussex said : “We are abso-

The Capitol, Horsham, is delighted to be welcoming Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap this October (5-10).

Famous around the world, for being the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre, with over 25,000 performances, The Mousetrap is a play to be proud of.

The scene is set when a group of people, gathered in a country house cut off by the snow, discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be? One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts, until at the last, nerveshredding moment, the identity and the motive are finally revealed.

In her own

inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot, where murder lurks around every corner.

When The Mousetrap opened in November 1952, with Richard Attenborough and his fellow film-star and beloved wife Sheila Sim in the leading roles, it was only seven years since Hitler died; Much essential food was still rationed, Mr Winston Churchill was Prime Minister, Harry Truman was President of the United S t a t e s and Stalin was r u l e r

of Russia; There was fighting in Korea, and Princess Elizabeth began her long reign as Queen; The last tram ran in London, television programmes ended at 10.30 pm and the entire TV listings only occupied three and a half lines.

On November 25, 2002, The Mousetrap celebrated its golden jubilee, with a Birthday Gala performance attended

by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. Lord (Richard) Attenborough gave the famous curtain speech, exactly 50 years since he first delivered it in London: “Now you have seen The Mousetrap, you are our partners in crime and we ask you to preserve the tradition, by keeping the secret of whodunit locked in your hearts.”

Agatha Christie became a Dame of the British Empire in 1971. Her books have sold billions of copies around the world, many more than any other author, except Shakespeare and The

Bible. She died on January 12, 1976, aged 85. At one point, she had three plays running at the same time in the West End, a feat never matched by any other woman. She was as successful a playwright as she was a novelist. Her most famous characters are Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.

A classic. A landmark. A legend.

The Mousetrap has four entries in the Guinness Book of Records, including: the ‘longest continuous run of any show in the world’, ‘most durable’ actor (David Raven, who played Major Metcalf for 4,575 performances from 22nd July 1957 until 23rd November 1968) and ‘longest serving understudy’ (Nancy Seabrooke, who stood by, as Mrs Boyle, 6,240 times, until March 12, 1994, and actually did so 72 times).

Youth Award winner exhibits FACES The Capitol in Horsham is currently exhibiting the remarkable work, FACES, of talented, young artist, Conor Weedon.

Having won a West Sussex County Times Youth Award for Creative Arts last year, he was soon after featured in ETC magazine and is delighted to have the opportunity to showcase his work in The Capitol’s gallery this summer.

Conor is attracted by the precise nature of portrait work, where all of the detail has to be so accurate, in order for the subject to remain recognisable. His favourite style of drawing is photo-realistic minimalism, where, once certain features are drawn, one’s mind can complete the remainder of the picture.

Of his work and its beginnings, Conor said: “I started drawing faces in secondary school as part of a GCSE art project, and when I left college in order to pursue a career in art, portraits were the thing that I enjoyed drawing the most, and had been most successful at.”

Conor’s work was recognised by a Seattle-based media company, for whom he made a poster of a live-action trailer for a popular horror game.

Inspired, he is now working through some different styles to help develop his own, which he will be posting on his Facebook profile (Conor Weedon) and Facebook page (CWArtist).

The FACES exhibition will run at The Capitol until September 13.

Artworks range from £100 - £700, with prints available soon, through Conor’s online store at conorweedon. bigcatel.com

Cranleigh Leisure Centre to host ZOGGS Oceans of Fun Day

Top Olympic athletes to attend one of nationwide series of events

Leading Australian swimwear brand, Zoggs, is continuing its campaign to encourage and inspire more children to actively get involved in aquatic sports.

The brand has teamed up with Total Swimming, set up by Olympian Steve Parry, to run another series of events across the country providing up to 150 FREE spaces (at each event) for kids, aged 7 to 14 years old, to experience different aquatic sports, including mini water polo, synchronised swimming and fast swimming.

Cranleigh Leisure Centre is delighted to announce that it will be hosting one of these exclusive events on September 20, 1.30 – 4.30pm, which will be attended

by Olympic/Commonwealth athletes, Adam Whitehead (Lead athlete/Presenter, Fast Swimmer, Olympian, European & Commonwealth Champion), Rosie Morris

(Water Polo Player, 2012 Olympian, GB Women’s Team Goalkeeper) and Katie Skelton (Synchronised Swimmer, 2012 Olympian Team GB).

The event will feature an afternoon of skills and games across the different aquatic disciplines: Fast swimming, Synchro swimming, Mini Water Polo, Rookie

Lifeguard & CPR (poolside). Every participant will be given the chance to try each of the activities, by rotating through the stations.

Each station will be led by an Olympic or Commonwealth athlete, an expert in the discipline, who will provide instruction and encourage the children.

The athletes will be introduced at the beginning of the event and the children (and their families) will have the opportunity to meet the Olympians outside of the pool for autographs, photos and the showing of Olympic and Commonwealth medals.

Steve Parry said: “We are really excited to have teamed up with Zoggs to run this series of Zoggs Oceans of Fun Days. Zoggs is a swim brand with a real passion for swimming and, by using role models in the form of Olympic and Commonwealth athletes, we hope to inspire, motivate and educate young people who will have the chance to come along and take part in these events for free.

It’s also ideal for parties and work outings as there aren’t many places where 16 people can sit together around one table! We also have an open kitchen so you can see your food being cooked fresh to order.

USB charging points are available so feel free to top up your battery on us :)

Pizza Express is celebrating the launch of its exciting new look restaurant in Horsham. Located in East Street, this restaurant has been totally transformed and features artwork paying tribute to Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the major Romantic poets, who was born in Horsham. Each PizzaExpress restaurant is individually designed

– often using well known places, people or historical events from the area as the basis. The interior of the Horsham restaurant has a range of collage artworks inspired by Shelley’s poetry and his story. The artworks combine pieces of text and imagery that give a contemporary interpretation of his work.

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.

Leading residential agent, Hamptons International, was delighted to sponsor the Festival of British Eventing, at Gatcombe Park, in what marks its 12th year of supporting this special equestrian event.

The weekend commenced with a VIP lunch, hosted by Hamptons International on Friday, August 7. Guests were welcomed by Peter Phillips, who provided a fascinating insight into the background of the festival, changes for 2015 and an overview of the cross country course, designed by his father, Captain Mark Phillips.

At lunch, guests were invited to take part in a Q&A session with one of Britain’s leading event riders, Harry Meade. In addition to talking through his career highs and lows of the past year, Harry shed light on his top tips for finding the right equestrian property.

Following lunch, Harry led guests around the cross country course, talking them through the skill and technique required to master championship jumps and fences.

A hospitality stand, manned by experts from Hamptons International’s dedicated equestrian department, was at the event throughout the weekend. Visitors had the opportunity to learn more about owning an equestrian property and see some of the best examples currently on the market. While for younger visitors, there was face painting and colouring activities to take part in.

Over the weekend, the estate agency also ran a competition in aid of their corporate charity, Cancer Research UK, which offered the chance to win a day accompanying Harry Meade, and his team, at an event.

Andrew Marshall, Senior Regional Sales Director at Hamptons International, commented: “The Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park is always a highly anticipated date in the Hamptons International calendar and we were thrilled to support the event once again in 2015.

We were delighted to entertain our existing clients, as well as meet new faces and welcome members of equestrian communities from both near and far.”

Parkrun’s elephant makes an appearance in Horsham Park Athletics Dave Smith – Sports Editor Last week saw the "Beat the tide" 10k race in Worthing, run along the beach. Horsham Joggers sent a hardy team of 8 who managed to keep dry!

Mal Thornton finished 6th out of a field of 266 in a time of 40.55 followed

Lorraine Hunter 1.04.23 Amanda Avery 1.08.03 Paul Chandler 1.08.16 Fiona Lear 1.08.38.

Last Sunday a large turnout competed in the Henfield half marathon in a field of 200. Mark Greet lead the Joggers’ home in 1.27.56 followed by Matthew Mason 1.29.03 Paul Oakley 1.36.30 Chris Wigby 1.38.02 John Dyckes 1.40.51 Paul Yokom 1.44.15 Lorraine Treadwell 1.46.01 Philip Daly 1.51.32 Jane Lawrence 1.54.40 Geilies

Last Saturday’s Horsham parkrun was again well attended and run in what turned out to be the hottest day of the year so far. The Horsham parkrun elephant - a part of Horsham Rotary Club’s ‘Elephantastic’

trail - made an appearance at the run after ‘escaping’ from his home in the District Post office window. Hannah Millar, who decorated the parkrun elephant, said she hoped he makes parkrun some money so the event can grow and continue to improve.

Horsham parkrun is open to all abilities. To register and for more information see their web site www. parkrun.org.uk/horsham or Facebook page - Horsham parkrun.

Horsham Rugby Club ready for new campaign Rugby Richard Ordidge – Horsham RUFC

Last year’s London SE 3 champions, Horsham

Horsham Rugby Club has now almost completed their 2015/16 pre-season following promotion to London South East Division 2.

Horsham’s second XV, known as the Lions, have also been promoted to Sussex Division 1.

Last years coaching team remains in place headed by Nick Stocker, assisted by forwards coach Barry Hillicks and backs coach Richard Bell.

Stocker said: “Training has been well attended and in pre-season we have concentrated on both individual skills and team cohesion and the players have responded well. We will have added strength in depth from a combination of either players returning to the club, or joining for the first time having played higher league rugby. We

have retained the players we had and also hope to add still further to the squad over the next few weeks.”

Pre season games have been arranged over the next few weeks away to Dorking 2nd XV on August 29 and then at home to Cobham on September 5. The first competitive match is at home to Ashford on September 12 in the first round of the Intermediate Cup, and then league action commences on September 19 away to Tunbridge Wells who are one of the promotion favourites.

Stocker added: “There is a real momentum about the club at the moment. We are an ambitious club and the new faces coupled with the excitement of the top two sides playing in higher leagues mirrors the positive environment off the field, and we look well placed for a memorable season.”

Storrington remain mid-table after win Pulborough fight to keep hopes of promotion alive

Storrington's Bob Manning Bowls John Wharmby – Storrington At the start of the weekend, Storrington had a friendly match at home against Worthing Pavilion, which resulted in a two game win for both clubs.

Brian Bona’s team lagged behind for most of the game but took a lucky

6 shot win, 3 ends from the finish, to win the game by 3 shots. Similarly Alan Head’s team were behind by one shot when a 4 shot win, again 3 ends from the finish, resulted in a one shot win for the game. The Worthing Pavilion wins by 3 shots and 19 shots resulted in a match loss for Storrington, by 18 shots.

D. Griffin, Peter Smith & Brian

Bona won 20 – 17 P Coomer, N. Griffin & Alan Head won 16 – 15 P. Bowyer, D. Larcombe & Richard Pettet lost 13 – 16 S. Kersley, Joy Newman & Chris Walter lost 10 – 29 Storrington 59 – 77 Worthing Pavilion The next game was the league match, away at Wittering. Rain in the morning had left the green soft and slow but in the afternoon it took on a faster pace. Most of the Storrington players found this to their liking, as demonstrated by Howard White’s team pulling ahead to finish 31 – 13.

Paul Leatherbarrow’s team were 0 - 9 down before they settled down to pile on the shots to finish with a win by 9 shots. A similar scenario occurred on Peter Newman’s rink, being 0 - 9 down. Their come-back was less pronounced, but a single shot win on the last end gave them a draw of 19 -19. The fourth team, skippered by David Ogley, found the opposition evenly matched, with the score being equal two ends from the finish. However the Wittering team achieved a single shot win on both ends, to put Storrington 20 – 22 down.

Bob Manning, David Bain, Chris Walter & Howard White won 31-13 Mike Obrien, R Naldrett, Harry Kendall & Paul Leatherbarrow won 27-18 Don Barber, Alan Head, John Rimmer & Peter Newman drew 1919 Geoff Page, Gerry Newman, Tony Gledhill & David Ogley lost 20-22 Wittering 72 - 97 Storrington resulting in 7- 3 points to Storrington.

Billingshurst cruise past Horsham Park Bowls Keith Barraclough – Billingshurst BC Billingshurst visited Horsham Park for their last evening match of the season and got off to a solid start; after 9 of the scheduled 18 ends they were 6 shots in front.

The second half saw the visitors

accelerate nearly out of sight to win by 42 shots. Top rink for Billingshurst went to June Bennett, Stan Morgan & Grace Stewart (+25) who just edged out Tessa Richards, John Bennett & Geoff Weller (+24).

Paul Clegg, Beryl Barraclough & Alan Knight lost 9 -13 June Bennett, Stan Morgan &

Grace Stewart won 30 - 5 Ray Sutton, Barry Gilbert & Chris Laker lost 11 - 14 Tessa Richards, John Bennett & Geoff Weller won 29 - 5 Ray Neal, Hazel Sandford & Anita Colliety drew 17 - 17 Horsham Park 54 - 96 Billingshurst

Pulborough have a nervous wait to see if they are champions Bowls Jane Gray – Pulborough BC The week started with Pulborough playing host to the Sussex Vice Presidents, a team made up of players from many different Clubs that play together several times a week.

6 rinks played in glorious conditions on a Pulborough green that many said "has never played better", which is a credit to green keeper, Chris Etherington.

Of the six teams for Pulborough, 3 were victorious. Top rink for Pulborough went to Skip, Chris Etherington, with lead, Mike Richards, number 2, Fred Bushby and number 3, Jan Barnes, with 14 ends out of 21 and an impressive score of 26/8. The final result went to the Sussex VP's by just 8 shots, 112/104.

The final game for Pulborough in the West Sussex Bowls League for 2015 was away against Marine Gardens in scorching temperatures.

Pulborough needed a good result to help secure the league title for the year and started well with Pulborough ahead on all 4 rinks by halfway.

Len Adsett and team had a tough game, with the lead changing multiple times and 6 shots against them in the last 4 ends sealing their fate.

Skip, John Brown and team, fought back from 18/12 down on end 16 to draw 19/19.

Matt Ives and his team scored steadily in the second half of their game, achieving two 4's and a 5 on end 15, to squash any hopes their opponents had of a comeback to finish 30 shots to 12. Top rink, with an even stronger score of 33/13, was Skip and Club Captain Paul Day and team, helping to secure 7 vital League points for Pulborough and keep their hopes of promotion to Division 2 on track. Pulborough head the table but can still be caught by Tarring Priory who will have to score heavily in the match they have in hand to overhaul Pulborough.

Southwater’s Will Palmer took a big step towards claiming the Duo BRDC Formula 4 title with two victories at Snetterton last weekend, his third double win of the year.

The 18-year-old now leads Maidstone’s Tom Jackson in the championship standings by 74 points, with just six races left in the 2015 season.

After a superb qualifying session Palmer started in pole position in race one and quickly built on his advantage to lead by 5.405s by the midway point, eventually coming home 8.163s ahead of team-mate Harri Newey with Jackson finishing third.

Starting eighth in race two by virtue of his victory in the first Palmer quickly made up ground into second place. In the battle for the lead Chris Mealin shut the door under braking and contact was made breaking Palmer’s rear suspension and forcing him into retirement. After the race, Mealin was excluded from the results for driving in a manner incompatible with safety for the two incidents.

In the final race of the weekend Palmer was again back in pole but was beaten away by Jackson before overtaking him at the end of lap one and then pulling steadily away eventually winning by 11.143s to secure his double victory.

Speaking on the podium Will said: "After the disappointment of race two, I wanted to bounce back in style and it was good to be able to take back the lead having lost it off the start.

After that, I just wanted to lower the lap record as much as I could. It's a nice record to have as no-one will be able to better that now as the series moves to the new car in November.”

With 190 points still on offer with two rounds of the season remaining, Will leads Tom Jackson by 74 points with his HHC Motorsport teammate Harri Newey now in third, 29 points further adrift.

2015 Duo BRDC Formula 4 Championship standings after race 18 of 24 1. Will Palmer (HHC Motorsport) 418 points 2. Tom Jackson (Chris Dittmann Racing) 344 points 3. Harri Newey (HHC Motorsport) 315 points.

Horsham Cricket club saddened Roffey steamroller by the passing of secretary Karen back to top the table Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter Horsham Cricket Club is shocked and saddened by the sudden untimely passing of their popular long term Secretary Karen Marshall.

At the club’s special lunch commemorating Horsham winning the National Knock Out Cup at Lord’s, Chairman John Carter called for two

minutes silence, allowing members to reflect on all that Karen has done for the club, saying: “Karen was here on Tuesday for our committee meeting and would have been with us today – this is an absolute tragedy.”

President Hugh Thomas said: “This is very sad news for us to start the day but Karen would have wanted us to carry on with the event. I am so sorry that she has been taken from us.” In

his subsequent message to Horsham Cricket Club members John Carter added: “Karen will be greatly missed – I knew her for nearly 40 years: she was just lovely, a wonderful person, generous of spirit and a benefactor to the club.

Karen leaves her husband Howard and two children. Our deepest sympathies go them in this most difficult of times.”

14 year old Adam hits 178 not out Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter

Young Horsham cricketer Adam Goacher

Last Saturday on Horsham Cricket Club’s John Dew ground 14 year old Tanbridge schoolboy Adam Goacher notched up a highly impressive career best score – 178 not out.

Opening the batting for Horsham’s fourth team in the 40 over adult league match against their Ifield counterparts, stroke-maker Adam hit 34 fours in Horsham’s 313-4, the next highest scorer getting 26. Adam’s feat demoralised Ifield - they stuttered to 101 all out.

Speaking to the District Post Adam said: “When I was dropped on 50 I thought it must be my lucky day, so I made sure I capitalised!”

Umpire David Horsman told us: “This special innings called for a high degree of concentration from a 14 year old.” Coincidentally, Adam’s father Tom Hogsflesh was the other umpire and he added: “This was the highest score by any Horsham player this season so naturally the family are very proud of Adam’s achievement but he was fairly quiet about it, just celebrating with a tea in the clubhouse. Two years ago he got a hundred against Crawley in an U12 match and then he warmed up for this one with a memorable ton at Scaynes Hill in June!”

Sunday August 23 - Sussex Premier League Sussex Development XI 135 All Out (35.2 overs) Roffey 139-3 (24.1) Roffey won by 7 wickets Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter Roffey’s resounding victory over the Sussex Development XI crowned an excellent weekend, during which they racked up 60 points, taking them four clear in their bid to win back to back titles.

The weather relented with the Development XI batting first in search of their first win of the season, but they were soon in all too familiar trouble at 28-3. A hesitant recovery ensued but seven batsmen could only amass 20 runs between them as, despite some late order resistance, the innings staggered to 135 all out – at least 100 short of an appropriate target. Leigh Harrison and Rohit Jagota took two wickets apiece while Alex Collins with 4-21 proved particularly destructive.

With 48 overs available Roffey started positively until three excellent close catches reduced them to 54-3. But this was just a minor inconvenience, Usman Khan (58) and Rohit (21) batting through without further mishap, securing victory with only half of the overs used.

The Development XI’s poor showing is

mystifying. Their line up at Roffey included Sussex second XI regulars, Sakande and Grant looking sharp when they opened the attack, backed by impressive fielding. But their promising batsmen, including Philip Salt, who recently made his debut for the county first team, have consistently failed to score enough runs.

After praising the umpires and Sussex coaches for starting a full game quickly after the rain, Roffey captain Josh Fleming said: “It was a bit disappointing that they scored quite so many after we had them 76-8, I was hoping that we’d get them out for 100!

But as they were 70-3 I’m not complaining. We’ve played really well this weekend, though and the league’s in our hands now.” With 60 more points up for grabs Roffey have 411, East Grinstead 407 and Preston Nomads, too far adrift barring catastrophe elsewhere, on 363.

Roffey travel to Billingshurst tomorrow (Saturday August 29) before entertaining relegation threatened Cuckfield on September 5. East Grinstead has a tricky game at Bexhill on Saturday and then host Horsham on the campaign’s final Saturday.

Roffey inflict revenge on Horsham Photo by John Lines

Martin Read – Sports Reporter

Saturday August 22 - Sussex Premier League Horsham 176 All Out (54.5 overs) Roffey 178-6 (39.2 overs) Roffey won by 4 wickets Roffey ended a run of three consecutive defeats by Horsham with a convincing win after their near neighbours had been bowled out for a below par 176.

Put in to bat Horsham set a promising platform with Will Beer (57) again in the runs against Roffey and batting watchfully well, but once he was dismissed other batsmen were unable to make sufficient progress after reaching double figures. In hot con-

Horsham lost to Roffey despite Will Beer's efforts

ditions George Fleming took 2-54 in 18 overs from the clubhouse end, but Ben Manenti earned the bowling honours with 6-33, including the last five wickets following Kevin Stoute’s run out, Horsham subsiding from 135-4.

When Roffey replied, Mike Norris with 53 renewed his liking for the Horsham bowling. Michael Munday, regularly a heavy wicket taker in this fixture, had to be content with 1-57 this time. And, despite Will Beer’s 3-29 triggering a mid innings wobble Roffey recovered from 92-5 to win comfortably enough with 15 overs to spare, Dan Smith’s six finishing the job after wicketkeeper Matt Davies hit eight fours in his unbeaten 43.

Horsham captain James Johnson told the District Post: “It was a good toss to win - the wicket got a bit easier and if we’d got 230 we might have been able to create some pressure”.

Roffey skipper Josh Fleming said: “We

did what we’re often good at; keeping batsmen quiet. We managed to bottle up Will Beer and just when he was looking to accelerate a wicket would go at the other end.” Josh’s brother George added: “Horsham were going along nicely but Beero was the key and once we got him out they were lured into some soft dismissals - Ben (Manenti) bowled really well.” Ben told us: “The wicket wasn’t doing a huge amount, just straightening a bit, although it turned more when I was bowling to the left handers.”

Tomorrow (Saturday August 29) in the penultimate round of matches in this year’s Sussex Premier League Roffey visit Billingshurst, while Horsham stage their final home game – against Cuckfield - both encounters starting at 11.30.

Billingshurst overwhelmed at Fulking Heath’s opening home fixture ends in defeat Saturday August 22 - Sussex Premier League Preston Nomads 261-6 (58 overs) Billingshurst 134 All Out (38.2 overs) Preston Nomads won by 127 runs Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter Needing points to secure survival in the Premier League Billingshurst had too challenging an assignment visiting perennial champions Preston Nomads.

Hurst’s task was all the harder because they were without Chris Liddle away playing for Sussex and rising forces Will Fazackerley and Tom

Nightingale on duty with Guernsey in an international tournament. And, Andy Barr was still unable to bowl because of an unhealed side injury. Deprived of these key resources, Hurst were overwhelmed by Nomads in a one sided affair.

Yet, Abidine Sakande took an early Nomads wicket and at 62-3 and 1494 there was hope of containing the hosts. But, 53 from Aaron Phillips – ended by a deadeye Shane West run out - and an unbeaten century from Stuart Faith, hitting a last ball maximum to reach the milestone, enabled Nomads to reach 261-6 after Tim Moses had hit a huge six, the biggest anyone at the ground could remember.

For Billingshurst Jay Hartard rode

out some body blows, his 76 including 13 fours and a six, but only two team mates reached double figures. Evergreen Carl Simons took 5-51, carrying his seasonal wicket tally to 60. In a tightly bunched lower half of the table Billingshurst with 257 points remain sixth and entertain leaders Roffey tomorrow (Saturday August 29) before visiting struggling Cuckfield for the final game of the season on September 5. Hurst captain Ben Williams said: “Nomads are a good side and were better than us; it’s as simple as that.

We’ve got a tough last two games – Cuckfield are pushing to stay up, too.”

Horsham’s 2005 XI reprise Lord’s win Photo Clare Turnbull

Both teams with organiser Paul Baker (blue shirt) at the commemorative match Sunday August 23 – Special Tenth Anniversary T20 Challenge Match Invitation XI 172-6 2005 XI 173-6 Horsham 2005 XI won by 4 wickets Cricket Martin Read – Sports Reporter Welcoming guests to the special lunch at the match commemorating Horsham winning the National KO Cup at Lord’s in 2005, President

Hugh Thomas read from the Daily Telegraph report on ‘a marvellous Horsham victory’.

“This is a special day at the club – exactly ten years to the day since we won the cup” he said, with a Caribbean steel band in full flow Hugh added: “This brings back happy memories of our trip to Barbados – part of our 2005 prize!” and he concluded by thanking Paul Baker and his wife Jenny for ‘their immense efforts to arrange

such a very pleasant day’.

The sun came out as the Invitation XI posted 172-6, Kashim Ibrahim retiring with 76 despite Chris Baker turning back the clock with a thrusting 3-33. In response Howard Kasey showed no signs of not playing for seven years when he creamed his second ball for four through the covers on his way to 38. His opening partner Craig Gallagher made an enterprising 31 and, although Harry Finch took 3-46, Michael Thornely made 62 before the 2005 XI won with a six off the last available ball.

Paul Baker said: “We’ve had a fabulous day – there were 70 at the lunch and then we were entertained to a last ball thriller! It was great to share the club’s big day with so many familiar friendly faces but at the moment there are no plans to repeat the match in 2025!”

Broadbridge Heath lost to unbeaten Lancing Saturday August 22 - SCFL Premier Division Broadbridge Heath 1 - 2 Lancing Football Dave Smith – Sports Editor Broadbridge Heath first home match of the season saw the visit of this seasons initial surprise package, Lancing. Heath were missing a number of players but were able to start Martyn Flack for his first appearance of the season.

The first meaningful effort of the game came from Heath’s Rob Godfrey, who shot just wide from long range while at the other end Lancing’s Will Berry had a shot deflected wide. The deadlock was broken on 37 minutes when visiting full back George Fenton forced his way - with the help of a few lucky breaks - past three Heath defenders and into the penalty area from where he produced a superb drive into the bottom corner of ‘keeper Chester’s goal.

Heath had a chance to equalise just before the break but after a

good run Merv Bhujun was denied by the Lancing keeper Callum Fidler who raced out quickly to claim the ball and keep the visitors 1-0 lead at half time.

Lancing added a second 10 minutes into the restart when Josh Spinks converted a corner at the near post. In the heat of the year’s hottest day and with a two goal lead Lancing were now content to sit back and allow ‘Heath to do all the attacking work.

Substitute Scott Weller came on to make his debut and in the 68th minute got himself on the score sheet by nipping in to head over Lancing ‘keeper Fidler’s and reduce the deficit. Despite the goal Lancing remained happy to allow ‘Heath to make all the play but the hosts were unable to add to the score and Lancing notched up their third straight win and maintain their 100% record.

Broadbridge Heath team: M.Chester, Sultan (Wicking 46), Robinson, Balfour, Flack, Holmes (Legrange 80), Moore, Godfrey, Andrade, Bhujun (Weller 60), Martin.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK We managed to bottle up Will Beer and just when he was looking to accelerate a wicket would go at the other end Josh Fleming

Sullivan hat-trick helps see off East Preston Photo by Clive Turner

Matt Crane heads YM's fourth goal Tuesday August 25 - SCFL Premier Division Horsham YMCA 5 – 4 East Preston

Football Tom Norris – Football Reporter Horsham YMCA moved joint top of

the Southern Combination Premier Division on Tuesday night, after a Dan Sullivan hat-trick helped secure a thrilling 5-4 victory over East

Preston at Gorings Mead.

Visitors’ front man Alfie Gritt, who also netted a hat-trick for his side on the night, broke the deadlock against the run of play after just seven minutes. YM responded immediately with two goals in quick succession from Liam Hunter and Sullivan, before Ryan Hallett’s swerving twenty-five yard strike restored parity to make it 2-2 at the break.

The home side flew out of the blocks after the restart as Sullivan restored YM’s lead after just forty seconds and Matt Crane then made it 4-2 with only eleven second half minutes played. Sullivan completed his hat-trick shortly after and the home side looked in command, but a resilient Preston mounted a compelling comeback and two quick fire goals from Gritt, the first from the penalty spot, ensured a nervous final twenty minutes for the hosts.

YM manager Peter Buckland com-

mented: “That was hard work. I was really impressed with East Preston. I know they’ve played four games for no points, but they keep losing by the odd goal. They never laid down tonight. It goes 5-3, 5-4 and then you’ve got a nail biting last ten minutes. I imagine for the neutral that it was a cracking game to watch, but it’s not the sort of game as a manager that you can honestly say that you enjoyed. It is three points at the end of the day and the good start rolls on.

It still reads that we’ve played four league games, won three and drawn one, so we’re unbeaten and of course we’ve got the FA Cup to come. We can go into Sunday now a bit more relaxed.”

YM Team: Lockwood, Carden (Doherty 78), Gathern, Crane, Evans, Hunter (Wright 57), Dugdale (Gedling 63), D. Sullivan, Hibbert, D. Brown, Schaaf. Unused subs: J. Brown, H. Horner.

YM held to goalless draw Hornets hit five to live up to their billing Saturday August 22 - SCFL Premier Division Newhaven 0 – 0 Horsham YMCA Football Tom Norris Horsham YMCA manager Peter Buckland was left evidently disappointed after his side drew 0-0 away at Newhaven last Saturday.

A disheartened YM boss commented: “I’m very disappointed. I said to the players that they weren’t going to score. The worst case scenario is 0-0.

To be honest though, that’s not good enough. We should have put them to the sword.”

The first half was an even encounter and although YM started sluggishly, they slowly improved. Dean Wright fired straight at Dockers’ goalkeeper Jake Buss and then somehow headed

over from close range at the far post shortly after.

Newhaven striker Callum Connor’s attempted lob was thwarted by onrushing YM stopper Simon Lockwood, before visitors’ forward Wright’s low drive forced a smart stop from Buss.

After the break, Connor watched an effort from the edge parried to safety, whilst at the other end Wright and Anthony Hibbert both had tame efforts blocked on the line.

A cluster of Newhaven chances then followed as a Walton free kick was pushed away, a Robinson shot looped dangerously into the air inside the box and Connor was again denied by YM ‘keeper Lockwood as his low strike was sharply saved.

The final quarter of the game belonged to the visitors, who squandered several superb chances to secure all three points.

Heath trounced at Pagham Tuesday August 25 - SCFL Premier Division Pagham 4 – 0 Broadbridge Heath Football Dave Smith – Sports Editor Broadbridge Heath’s slow start to the season continued on Tuesday evening as they shipped four goals away at Pagham.

Dan Kempson gave the hosts the lead five minutes before the break; a lead they held to take in at half time.

Eleven minutes into the restart Rob Brown doubled Pagham’s advantage leaving ‘Heath with a mountain to climb. The visitors had any hopes of a comeback dashed on 64 minutes when Dan Simmonds made it three before he put the game completely out of reach by adding his second and his team’s fourth on 75 minutes.

After the game, Painter praised the Pagham team saying they look a much better team than last season but he was very disappointed with his own team saying this was probably the worst performance since he’s been at the club. “We’ve had teams where the players have far less ability but they gave you more effort” he added.“The players performance tonight has made Saturday’s team selection much easier for him, with six senior players coming back into the side there’s nobody apart from the Chester’s and Weller who could argue about not starting.”

Broadbridge Heath’s only win so far was against winless Wick & Barnham so with the cup match tomorrow, (Saturday August 29) against East Preston, Heath’s next league match will be at home to Horsham YMCA on Tuesday evening when they will be looking to get their league campaign up and running.

Football

Dave Smith – Sports Editor

Saturday August 22 - SCFL Premier Division Broadbridge Heath 1 - 2 Lancing Horsham went some way to justifying their tag of being favourites for the league title with this convincing win over Shoreham.

The final 5-0 score line was the Hornets biggest win for eight years and in truth could have been double figures if not for some decent saves from the visiting keeper Taylor, some erratic finishing and the energy sapping blistering heat. In addition the visitors Dimitri Larin did not help his

teams cause after getting sent off after twenty-eight minutes.

To punish Larin further the foul that earned him his red card led to the opening goal for Horsham as Kieron Pamment’s free-kick wrong footed Shoreham keeper Taylor as it took a deflection in the wall to end up in the net.

Horsham were unlucky to not double the advantage when Darren Boswell’s shot hit a post and then Boswell saw his follow up from the rebound also crash off an upright.

Taylor in the visitors’ goal faced with an onslaught did his best to keep his side in the game, pulling off a number of good stops. The keeper was eventually beaten for the second time three minutes before the break when, after he had saved well from Pammant, Boswell hit a half-volley past the overworked ‘keeper to take Horsham in two up at the break.

Scott Murfin shoots at goal It took only four minutes of the restart for Horsham to increase their lead. Murfin made a good break deep into the Shoreham half before crossing to give Pamment a tap in from close range. Murfin, who is yet to open his goal scoring account for the Hornets, had a penalty for handball saved

by Taylor, leaving him to still break his duck. The relief for the visitors was short lived however as two minutes later it was four when an unmarked Ashley Jones tapped in. Substitute Jake Chadwick wrapped things up five minutes after coming on with a nicely taken finish to lift the Hornets up to fourth in the table and to complete a hat-trick of wins on the bounce.

Horsham Team: Williams, Storrie, Knee, Clark, Jones, Farmer, Shelley, Lewis (Hadi 73) Murfin, Pamment (Charles 69) Boswell (Chadwick 62) Unused Sub: Duncan.
