There was to be no great upset in Horsham on election day as Francis Maude comfortably held the seat for the Conservative party.

Francis, who has been Horsham MP since 1997, increased his share to 52% as he polled 29,447 votes.

The Liberal Democrat candidate Godfrey Newman was second, with 17,987 votes, comfortably ahead of Labour, UKIP and the smaller parties.

Francis said he was “delighted” to have been given the

Francis also criticised his main rival for what he called a “negative and personal campaign”, but Godfrey did respond, saying that the MP should apologise for his expenses record.

It didn’t all go the blues’ way though, as the country woke up on Friday to a hung parliament.

Not so freaky Friday Swing Vote We asked seven of the candidates (Derek Kissach never showed up!) who they would vote for if they had to choose only from the other options on the ballot paper...

Harry Aldridge

“It would be tempted to go for Godfrey Newman but his party is probably the most pro-EU! But as an individual it would be him.”

Jim Duggan

“I suppose it would be the Green candidate as his policies are closest to ours. I do like Francis though – he has a sense of humour.”

Godfrey Newman

“I think Andrew Skudder. He has not necessarily tried to tow the party line, but has said what he believes in his heart.”

Nick Fitter

“When I was reading The Resident I was thinking ‘I like that but I don’t like that’ with each one. But I suppose it would have to be Jim.”

Steve Lyon

“I have previously voted UKIP and Harry is a nice guy. But I don’t think any of them from a Christian point of view are saying the right things.”

Francis Maude

didate in Brighton. It was worth it though - she won!

Francis won then - what a total shocker!

Indeed - he was 150/1 on with the bookmakers, and that proved to be a fair price, as the Conservative candidate romped home by more than 11,000 votes. Francis admitted though that he hadn’t felt at ease in the day though - he had even convinced himself he was going to lose.

How about the young lad from UKIP? He’ll be perhaps the second happiest of the eight candidates, having polled 5.1% of the vote. That’s important, as anyone who gets 5% gets their £500 candidacy fee refunded.

He wasn’t on the plane with UKIP’s former leader then?

No, but he did have dinner with Nigel Farage on Monday night, while helping with his colleague’s campaign in Buckingham. He said: “He thought he was going to die - he said the plane just nose-dived.” Harry had his own admittedly less-dramatic moment while canvassing. “I was putting a leaflet through a door and I felt something sink into my finger! I pulled it out and it was bleeding profusely. There was no dog barking or anything so I don’t know what it was.”

So no fireworks at all then?

It wasn’t entirely dull. In his acceptance speak, which we can assume was written in advance and so cannot be attributed to the emotion of the moment - Francis did blast the Liberal Democrats for what he called a “negative and personal campaign.”

The Lib Dems had created their own newspaper, which was highly critical of Francis and his record on expenses, and delivered it through it doors.

Does Francis have a point?

You can’t help but think that worse things have happened in politics!

Why shouldn’t the Lib Dems, as the main opposition here in Horsham, raise questions about the MP’s history? On the other hand, Francis Maude will feel that he’s overcome that issue now, and having increased his percentage of the vote, could justifiably claim that he has regained the trust of Horsham’s residents. For what it’s worth Francis claimed that “about five” people had raised the issue with him during canvassing.

Were the Lib Dems disappointed with the outcome?

Yes. Realistically, they will not have been expecting to win. But they were hoping to eat into the Conservative lead by up to half. Instead, while they did increase their share of the vote by about 5%, claiming 17,987 votes, they also saw the Tories take 52% of the overall vote in Horsham. The Nick Clegg factor did not have the effect they hoped for, and (Lib Dem candidate) Godfrey Newman admitted “we may have peaked too early.”

So if they both gained, who lost out?

That would be Labour. While earning enough seats for a hung parliament, they have seen a decrease in

Godfrey Newman, the Liberal Democrats candidate, was pleased to see an increase in support, but it wasn’t enough to topple the Tories votes nationwide. Here in Horsham, they lost more than half of the 9,320 votes they gained in 2005. Andrew Skudder was realistic in his expectations, but will have hoped for more than 7.5% of the vote. And in truth they probably deserved a little better given the efforts of local members on a number of key local issues.

Not a campaign to remember for Mr Skudder then?

Actually, he said he enjoyed the experience. One moment sticks in the memory for him. He was driving home from a hustings evening, organised by Horsham Churches To-

gether, when the window wipers failed to work on his car. Unfortunately for him, it was raining! Andrew said: “I was almost killed by an act of God on the way home!”

While we’re on the subject, how did the Christian Party do?

Steve Lyon polled 469 votes, which may sound like a low amount, but that’s a considerable number when you bear in mind that the Green party only received 570 votes. Green candidate Nick Fitter may have done better had he not spent much of his available canvassing time helping out Caroline Lucas, the Green party can-

And how about the Peace Party?

Jim Duggan is seemingly everyone’s second favourite candidate, as you can see from the sidebar! He was a little disappointed to only receive 253 votes. “I think the Christian Party and Greens took a few votes off me,” he said. As always though, his colourful persona and flamboyant attire helped make the six hour count a little less boring!

That makes seven then. Who’s the eighth candidate?

Derek Kissach, an independent, who didn’t make an appearance at the count. He polled just 87 votes.

So it’ll be five more years of Francis Maude then?

It will indeed. He said: “It’s a great privilege to have been elected once again. I’m delighted that even (after the change of the constituency boundaries) we have managed to secure for the Conservatives more than 50% of the vote and I’m delighted that I have the chance over this parliament to serve the residents of Horsham.”

Labour party candidate Andrew Skudder relaxes in the media room in the early hours of Friday.

The result didn’t go his way - he polled just 7.5% of the votes - but still enjoyed the experience of an election campaign

Jim Duggan, one of Horsham’s most popular characters, was a little disappointed with his 253 votes

Nothing to fear, Francis Francis Maude had arrived at this morning’s election count a little after 2am, confessing to being nervous about the result.

“Earlier I was convinced I was going to lose,” he said. “I envisaged that everybody had just read a Lib Dem leaflet before going to the polling station.”

But there was to be no such shock result in Horsham, and four hours later a smiling but weary looking Francis Maude was once again announced as the MP of Horsham, a position he has held since 1997.

But it would seem that sleep deprivation does not hinder the work of a politician – Francis didn’t pass up the opportunity to blast his main rival, Liberal Democrat candidate Godfrey Newman, for what he called a “personal” campaign.

He said: “It is a great pity that when we are trying to rebuild trust in politics that there were some (who ran a) negative and personal campaign and I’m glad that the electorate saw though that and delivered a positive outcome.”

In response, Godfrey hit back, saying: “It would be nice if, when errors are made by an MP with their expenses, they actually apologise to members of the public.”

As had been expected (the bookies made him 150/1 on to keep the seat) the Conser-

Harry Aldridge, 23, did a fine job for the UKIP party, winning 2,839 votes vative candidate won at a canter, polling 52.7% of the vote.

During the early hours there had been cause for optimism for Godfrey, as counting at some tables appeared to indicate a close race. But hope faded as the hours drifted by, and he polled 17,987 votes.

It’ll be some small consolation that Godfrey increased the party’s share of the vote to 32.2%, an improvement of about 5% on the party’s 2005% general election result.

There was little Andrew Skudder could do to prevent a negative outcome for Labour, with the party losing half of its Horsham supporters, but young UKIP candidate Harry Aldridge was beaming as he attracted 2,839 votes – 5.1% of the turnout.

Also standing in the Horsham constituency were Nick Fitter (Green – 570 votes), Steve Lyon (Christian - 469), Jim Duggan (Peace – 253) and Derek Kissach (Independent - 87).

Playscheme plan Southwater Parish Council are considering running a Playscheme at Southwater Leisure Centre during the school summer holidays.

The playscheme would operate Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5.30pm., providing childcare for 5 to 12 year olds. Fully qualified staff will be on board and activities on offer would include arts and crafts, games, sports and other fun activities. The cost per day per child is an-

ticipated to be around £18.

However due to the significant cost associated the Parish Council need to know if there is a demand.

The Cancer Research UK shop in 14 East Street, has been given a muchneeded lick of paint by its team of volunteers.

Prior to the work, which sees the shop sporting calming lilac and grey

tones, the shop had not been decorated for around 10 years and was crying out for a bit of a makeover.

The team also hope that the new look will help them to raise even more funds towards life-saving research.

In order to evaluate this demand, parents are asked to contact Steve Brew either by email at steve@southwater.net , or in writing to him at Southwater Leisure Centre, Pevensey Road, Southwater, RH13 9XZ (01403 733208) to register your interest and obtain more details.

New look at charity shop

From Zeroes to Heroes Barns Green Junior Football Club’s Under 16 team played its last ever competitive fixture, remaining unbeaten all season in Division C of the Horsham & District Youth Football League.

They romped away with the league title by a 13 point margin. But what makes the achievement all the more astounding is that this is the same team that started life five years ago with a 26-0 defeat!

The Barns Green team started life as the Under 11s in 2005 and had to wait nearly two seasons to record its first ever league victory.

Until 2008/9, the team had never recorded more than 20 points and 6 wins in a single season and was better known for its fantastic team spirit and never say die attitude than its

on the field results.

A constant factor throughout those six seasons has been team manager, Roy Walker, and the 2009/10 season was a personal triumph for Roy’s perseverance and commitment with the team finishing unbeaten with a squad of 20 players.

It was fitting that as the whistle blew on the final match, five of the final 11 were the same boys who had trudged dejectedly from the pitch after the comprehensive defeat in their first ever game five years earlier.

Henry Liley, captain & centre forward, scored more than 40 of the 88 goals recorded in 20 games, whilst Eric Richardson, centre half and a close second to Henry in Barns Green appearances, had become the rock upon which a miserly de-

fence was founded with just 14 goals conceded in a tremendous season.

James Hallett had made double figures in goals scored for the second consecutive season whilst the fact that Harry Nye and Oliver Walker were able to take their place at all in the final game was a tremendous tribute to the courage and commitment that exemplified Barns Green JFC; both boys having returned in 2010 from long term injuries.

With Tom Mapstone and Oliver Filkins prompting intelligently as ever from midfield, Gage Pestridge and Alex Beaumont shoring up a rock-solid defence in front of the reassuring figure of Luke Burrows in goal, the team clinched the league title with a 1-0 win over runners-up East Grinstead.

And then news came in the they had pulled the plug on the Handcross Soapbox Derby, and the NSPCC Big Bike Ride at Christ’s Hospital, and the local Relay for Life event too. We weren’t sad because we competed in any of them - we just need something to fill our pages! We were ready to ditch our policy of ‘good news first’ here at The Resident - after all, what would we fill our pages with now - and resort to stories of shed break-ins and car crashes.

“Polo is the most extraordinary game. There are men and women travelling at high speed on horses trying to hit a small ball through some posts 14 feet wide, while the opposing team is trying to ride them off! It’s an unbelievable game.”

A perfect description of the game from Jo Richardson of Knepp Castle Polo Club, which is this year celebrating its 21st birthday.

For a village the size of Shipley, there was det e r m i n e d opposition to the polo club proposals all those years ago - it was the Laybrook Landfill of its day, with ‘Say No to Polo’ banners going up across the village.

But while the games have always attracted a healthy number of family polo teams and the club has over 100 members, it’s fair to say that the sport has not captured the attention of the public at large.

It’s still seen a being a sport for the upper classes - and on the whole it is - but that doesn’t mean that you can’t go along and watch if you don’t own a Land Rover or property with its own postcode. As it happens, the club would very much welcome you if you did.

The Resident visited the club at the weekend, as teams

competed for the May Cup, the first notable tournament of the new season.

The pitch they play on is glorious - I wish our football pitches were half as good - but really the match is only half the fun. Polo is as much a social occasion as a game to play and watch. And in the height of summer if would appear to be a perfect way to spend the day.

Just take along a bottle of wine (yes, or Pimms!) a picnic hamper, relax and watch the game.

And for games played at the castle, on the pitch by the lake, it’s especially appealing as a day out.

As a spectacle, polo is not the

All Summer most riveting sport, but it’s no doubt enthralling when someone connects with the ball and makes a speedy bid for the goal, being chased down by the opponents. And at this speed it’s difficult to stop, so failing to connect with the ball can lead to some excellent counter-attacking play!

In the end it was Jendens who lifted the May Cup, despite a shaky start in the final against Montana, who won’t have to wait too long for a chance to seek revenge. This weekend it’s the Cocoa Loco three-a-side tournament.

The main stage will feature TV star Dave Benson Phillips (Playdays, Get Your Own Back, Playhouse Disney, Planet Cook) entertaining the children, as well as a children’s talent competition where young visitors can reveal their ‘X Factor’ on stage and stand the chance of winning £100!

The arena will be home to Jez Avery’s Motorcycle Stunt Show (which you may have seen before at events such as the South of England Show, but if you haven’t it is excellent), Bob Hogg’s Sheepdog and Duck Display, and the opportunity to get close up to birds of prey in a highly participative performance. The Science Theatre will present

4th-6th July

amazing shows and interactive exhibits from the Observatory Science Centre and Brighton Science.

Everyone can also show off their sporting skills or learn new ones. ‘Albion in the Community’ will be running a Soccer Academy; Slinfold Golf and Country Club will be teaching golf, and there will also be tennis training and clay pigeon shooting. For the more artistic there’s the Crazy Comic Club.

Climbing walls, trampolines, an assault course and mega slide will be to the fore in the Kidz Stuff playground as well as soft play for the very young, and Zaz the Clown teaching his circus skills.

The annual three day festival is from 4-6th June this year with the Saturday and S u n d ay being for e v e r y b o d y.

Friday 4th June is especially for children with special needs, to-

gether with their friends and family and carers.

It is pretty unique as it is probably the only festival day in the UK which is designed with such a special audience in mind.

Not only will it be an absolutely magnificent show which will keep all of the children and the older folk enthralled and entertained for a whole day but it also has a restricted attendance so that the children have the time and space to really enjoy themselves. There are also volunteers who can help the parents and carers, and special changing facilities with a hoist.

As the day draws to a close, everybody can also help Kidz Stuff break the world record for the largest bun fight in our special world record arena.

And that will be one of five record attempts throughout the weekend.

On Saturday the record of the Most People in a Wet Sponge Fight takes place and on Sunday for The Most People in a Gunge Fight. Registration for the ‘fights’ will take

place at the Festival. Each day organisers will be attempting to beat the Record for the most people dressed as Story Book Characters.

Kidz Stuff is also proud to be part of the ‘National Family Week’ festivities, so at 3.30pm on Saturday, 5th June, groups from all over the country will be attempting to break the Record for the World’s Largest 3 Legged Race in Multiple Locations.

The Box Office for all Kidz Stuff days is now open at the Capitol theatre Horsham. To book, visit us online at www.thecapitolhorsham.com or call 01430 750220. Advance prices are £7 for the ‘Special Day’ and £8 for Saturday and Sunday..... book at The Capitol and receive a voucher for a free makeover at Beales of Horsham when at the festival. Children aged two years and under are free of charge.

You can get all of the information by visiting www.kidzstuff.org.uk or become a Facebook fan of the event

Kidz Stuff: Best Bits...

The pick of the weekend has to be the gunge fight, which should be every bit as messy as last year’s custard pie fight.

Jez Avery always puts on a good show, mixing it up with stunts on quad bikes as well as motorbikes, and it’s great stuff for kids. The Friday event really

is a great day out for people with special needs. It was pretty quiet last year, and everyone who went had even better access to the attractions!

The other highlight for us (but not for our photographer, who has just about cleared the custard from his lens from last year) will be the wet sponge contest.

Until 30th June

Rusper Raceway has just announced a fixture list for 2010, with the first dirt track races on May 23rd.

It sure is messy - like Toy Story set at the junkyard, with all the cars coming to life but it sure is fun, and the Rusper home team the Headhunters stick together and usually provide some thrills and spills.

It’s fair to say that Banger Racing isn’t as popular as it used to be, but can still be a good laugh if the drivers have fun and don’t take it too seriously... www.rusperraceway.co.uk

Sounds silly, it is after all just a big Dolls House, but if you haven’t been to Leonardslee Gardens and see the ‘Beyond the Dolls House’ exhibition you should pop along.

And don’t hang about either - -the estate has been sold for a little more than your average two-bed maisonette and closes to the public at the end of June.

As wells as the exhibition, you can enjoy the famous gardens and lakes, which are all very pretty if you like that sort of thing. www.leonardsleegardens.com

End of the Barns dance?

Barns Green Village Day 3rd July: TBC Sorry music fans - there will be no Barns Green Music Festival this year!

It’s had to be cancelled as, in short, the free event has become too big.

Last year there was all of 3,000 people on the village green, easily the biggest attendance to date, as the likes of Murdoch’s Crazy Eyes put on a great show.

But there was unfortunately a small minority who didn’t quite grasp the spirit of the event, and it’s cost us a wonderful day.

The organisers were already thinking about pulling the plug

on the event, in anticipation of an even bigger crowd this year.

But essentially the village has done that for them, by not allowing the event to be staged on the green.

Festival chairman David Grout said: “Last year it was a case of a small minority ruining the event for everyone else.

“There were more people coming from outside the village and it started to lose the (family friendly spirit) of what it was supposed to be about.

“We are now looking at the event having a gate price, and using two or three fields nearby for the event, but it

Fishers Farm Park

won’t be staged until 2011.

“We’re already getting requests from bands wanting to play, so we’ll sort out who we would like to play and organise a bigger and better event for next year.”

Instead of the village day, the festival organisers may well provide a small stage of music during the village school fete, which may be slightly extended to become more of a village day, but details of that have yet to be confirmed.

Traditional food at its best The Merrythought Restaurant is certainly the oldest and possibly the only traditional English restaurant in town.

The restaurant has been there for nearly 100 years and the same traditional recipes have been used throughout that time, although new ideas have been added to keep everything up to date and relevant, and to satisfy the growing number of younger diners.

Best quality meats are chosen for the succulent roasts and the well known steak and

kidney pies (every Saturday lunchtime) and other meat pies are home made on the premises, pastry and all.

Fresh ingredients are always used to make the dishes in the extensive menu, from giant mixed grills, fluffy omelettes (people say they are the nicest they have ever had), jacket potatoes, baguettes with a wide range of fillings, fresh salads and traditional ploughman's lunches.

There are plenty of fish in the sea and at the Merrythought too with succulent

poached scotch salmon, cod or plaice fried in homemade batter or for more exotic tastes scampi and calamari.

The desserts are all homemade with sticky toffee pudding, spotted dick and fruit crumbles or pies. Try out the creme caramel, trifle, chocolate mousse, cheesecakes or the renowned banoffee pie - just a few of the cold desserts.

There are vegetarian options on the menu, including a big vegetarian breakfast to complement the very popular full English breakfast always

freshly cooked to order.

The restaurant is fully licensed with an extensive wine list to suit all palates. Beers, lagers and spirits are also available.

There is a children's menu available and they are provided with buckets of toys or puzzle sheets to keep them entertained while they wait for their food to be prepared.

Customers travel to the restaurant from all over the south of England, from the surrounding towns and villages to as far as Kingston, London, Worthing, Eastbourne etc.

Of course the people of Horsham are lucky as it is on their doorstep and is open Monday to Sunday (see advert below for times) for a traditional Sunday lunch.

In the winter there is a lovely open fire to warm in front of and in the summer plenty of outside seating and some well placed umbrellas to shelter under from the sun or maybe the rain.

This is a family owned restaurant run by Essi and Christina Golchin and their team.

Special offers for May include a two course Sunday lunch for ÂŁ10.95

Will the Mob take over?

English Festival: Voice From the Coal Shed Voice From the Coal Shed will be providing the musical entertainment at the English Festival on ‘Step Back In Time Sunday.’

The day will focus on the 1960s and 70s and how those eras influenced English popular culture.

But it will have a touch of the modern about it - the choir is rumoured to be behind a Flashmob event. But that’s all we’ll be saying on the matter!

In addition to the Southdown bus rides and a Classic Car show, there will be a psychedelic feast of music from – including classic rock, pop, divas and songs from the musicals.

There will be three staged areas around the town centre (East Street, Carfax and Shelley Fountain) with local choirs and community groups sharing each area on a rotational basis between 11am and 4pm.

Voice from the Coal Shed are encouraging the choirs to dress up in 60’s and 70’s fashions and are hoping that the public will do so too!

There will be a rehearsal on the morning of Sunday 9th from 9.30am at Bar Vin.

Then at 1.45 and 2.30pm in The Quarter, East Street, there are two 20-minute slots for an impromptu and unrehearsed Abba choir!

We’ve said enough so for more information visit www.voicefromthecoalshed.com

Well, it’s back, and they’re making a right song and dance out of it.

The Shelley Fountain, Horsham’s most talked about piece of public art, will rise again at this weekend’s English Festival.

Despite a poll held last year during which more than half of the residents who responded asked for it to be removed, the Shelley Fountain has been restored to its former glory.

A town crier will be there to mark the occasion, and the council chairman will say a few words about the project, before a party of the town’s Rainbows and Brownies dance around the Fountain accompanied by musicians from the Broadwood Morris.

Then at a little after 12pm, we’ll either witness the return of a working fountain or one of the more embarrassing mechanical breakdowns the town has seen!

Here at The Resident, we’re quite pleased to see it back. The kids love it, don’t they?

Creative collective Horsham Open Studios

19th, 20th, 26th & 27th June

the work of the best artists and makers in the area as they open their homes, studios and gardens.

You’ll find affordable art and contemporary craft, in a wide range of styles, all made locally, and a friendly welcome guaranteed...the perfect way to spend two weekends in June.

Horsham Artists' Open Studios allows visitors an insight into an artist's working practice, through visiting artists in their studio spaces or viewing finished work in exhibition spaces and having the chance to discuss artists techniques used in their creative process.

In all honesty, we don’t know art here at The Resident.

If we were to draw up a list of our top ten artists, Tony Hart and Rolf Harris would have to be in it, otherwise we’d struggle to name ten.

But even to our un-trained eye, it was apparent during a recent visit to The Horsham Gallery, Horsham’s only permanent gallery, that there is no shortage of talented artists in the district.

Many of these will be exhibiting work during Horsham Artists' Open Studios events on 19th, 20th, 26th and 27th June.

Open studios is not just another gallery, it is an adventure into the creative world of visual arts. There is a wealth of all art forms in Horsham District, and Open Studios is just one way we can celebrate this.

So if you’re a bit fed up of seeing that huge £20 canvas of a Parisian cafe that you bought from Ikea which is hanging in your lounge, or you wonder what exactly compelled you to buy that picture of the round stones, do have a look around.

This is the first year when Hor-

sham artists have decided to organise the event by themselves.

Artists taking part include Jean Holder (pottery and fused glass jewellery), Kerto Koppel-Catlin (watercolours), Angela Brittain (contemporary paintings), Alison Ingram (wildlife paintings), Lindsey Pearson (watercolours) and Irma Westerdijk (sculptures).

Take a few minutes out to visit www.horshamopenstudios.co.uk to see what looks an excellent array of talent.

The Sussex Thunder, 2008 National Division 1 Champions,. The club’s first game at their new home will be on Sunday June 6th, when the visitors will be local rivals the Farnham Knights.

They will compete in the top flight of British American Football at their new home of Broadbridge Heath Stadium.

Anyone who would like more information or to become involved with the club either playing, becoming a member of the game-day staff or sponsoring the team should contact the Team Manager Tony Miller on 07793 145709 or chairman@sussexthunder.com

Sir Stirling Moss, John Surtees, Sir Jack Brabham, Derek Bell, David Coulthard, Damon Hill, Gerhard Berger, Wayne Gardner, Giacomo Agostini and the late, great Barry Sheene and Phil Hill have all taken part at the Revival. They’ll be some treats this year too.

Steyning Festival 29th May If you’re out and about on Saturday, 29th May, you might well wonder where all the women are...

They’ll be at Wiston House, where Bjorn Again - who are probably the first tribute act you would think of, if asked, will be playing the songs of Abba.

The event marks the opening of the Steyning Festival, and it’s fair to say it’s the biggest event too.

Bjorn Again have played more than 3,500 shows to people all over the world, although we suspect that most of them have been in this country where people seem to have an insatiable appetite for the Swedish popsters.

They provide a feast for the eyes and ears with their authentic ABBA costumes and great sound, not to mention their Scandinavian-ish accents!

The website promises a “musical experience has the power to unite young and old in an uplifting evening of dance, song and celebration”. We’ll take their word for it - we’ll be staying in and doing something a bit more manly (which is just about anything)

It’s difficult to pick a highlight from the Shipley Arts Festival programme, but just one that grabs the eye is the Music from the Time of Sedgwick Park.

Described as a representation of local English music including an Elgar Piano Quintet composed close to Sedgwick and American Jazz standards all from the Park’s

Oz Hall Campaign

Spofforths return A little over a six months after a dramatic fire destroyed their Horsham offices Spofforths partners and staff are preparing to move into new premises.

The chartered accountants and professional advisers will be based at Comewell House on North Street.

The plans were agreed over the last few weeks and it is welcome news for staff who have been working out of various Spofforths offices since a fire at

the firm’s Horsham Gates site last October.

Bryan Elkins, Horsham Partner, commented: “It is wonderful to have a base in the town again and I am delighted that we have been able to arrange the move so quickly.

“It is just over six months since the fire and through team work we have been able to keep our relocation plans moving smoothly. We have continued to provide clients with a quality service since the incident and

this has been our priority throughout the entire period”.

A number of experts will work out of the new offices as well as a number of specialist teams.

These include Spofforths Corporate Finance and Tax Consultancy teams who already work with many local clients.

The opening also sees the introduction of the Spofforths Private Client Services team to Horsham as they move out of the firms Storrington office.

Tickets: £16.50

Opera della Luna return to The Capitol with their production of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic HMS Pinafore.

In true Opera della Luna style, a cast of multi-talented singer/actors become crew, chorus and principals in a brilliantly fast and hilarious production of this famous comic opera.

Packed to the brim with toe-tapping tunes, the wit and verve of this production are proof of this company’s 15 years as the country's leading exponent of operetta and comic music theatre.

Tickets: £20, concessions £18

Forest & Millais Schools have joined forces to present a production of Billy Elliott at the Capitol, Horsham, on 30th June - 1st July.

Tickets cost £11 (children £9, matinee £7, children £5) from 750220 I thought everyone in the world agreed with me in thinking that Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was complete pants.

But it would appear not - the responses I’ve had from family and friends shows that many have a great deal of affection for Costner’s take on the legend.

Some even felt that Alan Rickman was “brilliant” as the Sherriff or Nottingham.

Maybe I’m wrong then, and Prince of Thieves is great, and Komodo versus Cobra isn’t actually the best film ever made! Either way, it’s hard not to be excited about the new Robin Hood, opening at the Capitol on May 14th.

The Gladiator dream team of Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott are back together.

Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously

interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard's army against the French.

Upon Richard's death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion, a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest.

Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.

Then Bryan Adams comes out with his Canadian Tuxedo on...

European Arts Company presents a fast-paced, deliciously dark adaptation of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.

Those of you who enjoyed their brilliant productions of ‘The Pickwick Papers’ and ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ have a real treat in store with their new show.

Featuring a talented cast familiar from stage and screen, the company invites you on a trip down the smoggy, gas-lit alleyways of Victorian London to hear the gruesome story of Dr Jekyll and his alter-ego.

It’s at the Capitol on May 21st, at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £11 from the Box Office on 750220

It is estimated that potholes costs British motorists an estimated £320 million every year (what - each?)

So while we might quite understandably grumble about the delay - it is, after all, May now - at least a respectable sum of money has now been designated to deal with the problem.

It remains to be seen though exactly how far the £15million being spent by West Sussex County Council’s highway teams will go.

These teams have started the extensive programme of road repairs needed following the severe winter weather.

Tens of thousands of potholes were given temporary repaid treatment earlier this year, but more permanent repairs are now being carried out.

The teams have already completed permanent repairs at over 140 sites using 8,000 tonnes of materials. In total this makes up 93,000 square metres of repairs including patching and resurfacing.

If the repairs carried out so far were added together they would cover 20 football pitches. A cynic (which is where we come in) could argue that it’s a bit of a waste of money when these pitches - like Wembley - need to be re-laid several times before they get it right!

As part of the ongoing permanent repairs, the County Council this week started work on its surface dressing programme.

Surface dressing involves spraying a coating of bitumen on to the

road surface, followed by one or more layers of hard stone chippings.

This seals the road and prevents water getting into the foundations, which can weaken the road and ultimately lead to potholes forming.

Surface dressing is carried out every year. However, this year the programme is being increased to seal in new repairs and to protect against future winter weather damage.

Derek Whittington, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning and Transport, said: “Surface dressing is a very cost effective way to restore road surfaces compared to other methods.

“Traffic can also be allowed to run on the new surface almost immediately - avoiding lengthy closures and disruption.

“As well as extending the life expectancy of the road and delaying the need for more expensive repairs it also reduces the chances of potholes developing.”

Soon after dressing, the road is swept to remove loose chippings.

The County Council provides advisory and warning signs, which will not be removed from the site until it is safe to do so.

The County Council will, where practicable, give advance notice of the road works and advice to residents to ensure that their vehicles are not left on roads that are about to be treated.

Signs will also be put up advising drivers to drive slowly on recently treated roads.

Primary objective

Primary schools are being invited to take part in a climate change competition, which could win their school a fantastic prize.

The Climate Change Entrepreneurs competition, organised by Horsham District Council, is in its second year. This year, pupils are invited to devise an action plan about how they would engage with their local community to inspire them to do something about climate change.

As part of the competition the children will have to give a presentation to a panel of judges, including the Leader of Horsham District Council, at the end of June this year. The winning

school will win a remote wireless weather station (or equivalent).

Last year the Climate Change E n t re p re n e u r s competition marked the launch of Horsham District Council’s first Climate Change Strategy and the winning team was a group from St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School in Horsham.

Any primary school in the Horsham District wanting further information on taking part in the competition should contact Louise Skipton-Carter at Horsham District Council, email louise.skipton-carter@horsham.gov.uk or phone 01403 215580.

Plenty on offer at beautiful Leonardslee Gardens in Lower Beeding

Hop down to gardens Lovely loderi

Among the loderi varieties, fortunei and griffithianum are considered the finest hybrid rhododendrons.

They are characterised by large, lily-like trusses, richly scented and coloured white to cream or soft pink.

Large numbers of crosses have been raised from Sir Edmund Loder’s 1901 original hybrid but it would be six years before King George began flowering in 1907, the first of the loderi to bloom in the gardens, followed by the Sir Joseph Hooker and Robert Fortune specimens that still line Middle Walk.

The Makings of a graded garden

Several elements come together to create a garden with the credential to merit a Grade 1 listing, says Robin Loder, who managed Leonardslee for more than a generation before son Tom took over the role with his sister Mary. l Quality of the landscape, both in natural and/or man-made features; l History (ancient garden with many original features, and continuity of management of style of original design) l Appropriate plant content l Biodiversity Another remarkable fact singles out the gardens, Robin stresses. “Leonardslee is unusual in that no professional designer has ever had a hand in the layout, style or design of either the landscape or the plantings.

“It is entirely the result of the efforts of the private owners of the estate, largely the Loder family, since 1889.”

Bank Holiday weekend was one to remember for the region’s premier floral focus.

Record numbers thronged Leonardslee lakes & gardens on Monday despite inclement weather earlier in the day.

“I estimate that we attracted 1,500 visitors – more than on any day I can remember,” reports Tom Loder, who runs the Grade 1 listed gardens. “Not since earlier in the 1900s have so many visitors been recorded on a single day.”

It takes plenty of people to make an impression on the 200+-acre site and even with Monday’s numbers treading the 10km of paths and woodland walks, the peace and tranquillity, and spectacular views that open up at every twist and turn, are still preserved for all to enjoy.

But only until 30 June, when the gardens finally close to public.

Tradition dictates that the first to second weeks of May present the most magnificent displays of colour. This year though, due in part to the severe cold snap, the peak of the season could well spread into the third week, believes David Rusham, a longstanding member of the gardens team.

“The pink splendour of the azaleas behind the glasshouse will reach a crescendo this weekend and early next week,” says David.

“A number of the early-flowering rhododendrons are in full bloom now, while our renowned loderi varieties are just beginning to

show through.

“Once the colour spreads down the valley, as it is doing now, the views to the lakes from the higher ground are breathtaking. The intensity of colour this year is particularly striking.”

This past week, the first colours have been creeping across the collection of rhododendrons and azaleas in the Rock Garden, to give a hint of what’s to follow this weekend and beyond.

The Rock Garden - Leonardslee’s jewel in the crown, many argue, adds an almost Italianate formality – its close-cropped precision contrasting with the rolling, rambling foliage and displays further down the valley.

Here, visitors will find virtually

every colour of the spectrum, and a few more shades besides, as they meander along the landscaped path with its contoured rocky outcrops.

In Leonardslee’s final season, it is fitting that Horsham remembers the mark the gardens have made in the memory of countless visitors.

Today, the town’s museum unveils `Leonardslee: Pictures of an Exotic Landscape` to offer a rare insight into the family that created and nurtured it and the fruits of their travels to far-flung quarters of the world.

“The mainly photographic exhibition portrays a fascinating and unusual place,” says Jeremy Knight, Horsham Museum’s curator, “the creation of one family, the Loders,

who had a Victorian passion for both fauna and flora, who turned a corner of Sussex into an exotic land.

“Such was the famed splendour of this secluded valley that it became the backdrop to a classic of the post-war film industry,” he adds.

“With a selection of postcard images dating back nearly a century, you can marvel at the magnificent, if macabre, display of heads and horns, from an era when naturalist shot their game with a bullet rather than camera,” he adds.

The display also features documents and books including rare photographs of the original owners, sale particulars and other memorabilia – all displayed in the Hurst Room. `Leonardslee: Pictures of an Exotic Landscape` runs from 7 May to 26 June.

But Leonardslee offers even more for the family day out, from its herd of cuddly wallabies, surely the greenest grasscutters, to the awe-inspiring intricacy of the “Beyond the Dolls House” miniature portrayal of a Victorian country estate and village and the collection of pioneering motor cars, right up to today’s creations in the Courtyard Sculpture attraction, which features some of the region’s leading artists.

While the Clock House self-service restaurant and cafeteria are sure to satisfy the healthiest appetites.

Creators and custodians The Loder family 1889: Sir Edmund Loder (18491920) acquires the Leonardslee estate from his in-laws, following the death of his father, Sir Robert Loder, the previous year. He immediately sets about planning a wide variety of flora and fauna, including the famous wallabies, still in abundance today.

Rhododendrons and exotic conifers were his greatest passions and he planted in large groups, taking care to produce fine colour effects without losing

the natural woodland character of the setting. The well-known hydrid Rhododendron loderi remains one of the most magnificent that can be grown in the larger English garden; Sir Edmund’s only son, Robin, marries in 1913 but dies in the Great War, succeeded by three year-old Giles (1914-1999);

1920: Sir Giles succeeds to the baronetcy when his grandfather, Sir Edmund dies;

1945: Sir Giles takes over the running of the estate from his mother, the Dowager Lady Loder. He too favoured rhododendrons, as well as camellias, exhibiting them successfully at the Royal Horticultural Society’s shows in London until the 1970s, winning many Gold Medals and the prized Victorian Medal of Honour – limited to just 63 holders, the number of years in Victoria’s reign; 1981: Sir Giles retires from running the gardens – son Robin taking

on their management and more recently, his son and daughter, twins Tom and Mary;

1984: the Loders leave their `Italian Mansion` family home, finished in 1855, building the present residence in 1986.

10% boost for market Annual house price inflation has hit double figures for the first time since June 2007, according to the Nationwide.

The building society said that house prices had risen by 10.5% between April 2009 and the April this year.

Between March and April house prices rose by 1% and the cost of the average home is now £167,802.

The price rise comes despite

an increase in the number of sellers in the market.

However, the Nationwide’s chief economist Martin Gahbauer predicts that the imbalance between sellers and buyers will gradually have more of an impact on prices.

He said: “While the recovery in new buyer enquiries at estate agent offices appears to have petered out, the last few months have seen an increase

in the level of new instructions from sellers.

“All else equal, this should lead to a gradual flattening out of the recent upward price momentum.”

Jonathan Moore, director of rental sector property website easyroommate.co.uk, said that this recent rise in prices “is just another nail in the coffin for the first-time buyer’s hopes of buying a home.”

He added: “As house prices rise, the property ladder is being pulled further and further from the grasp of firsttimers. Unless they can raid the coffers of the bank of Mum and Dad, thousands of wannabe buyers struggle to find the enormous deposits required by lenders and thousands more cannot borrow enough to buy houses at these inflated prices.”

But while this is good news for private landlords in terms of increasing the supply of potential tenants, higher prices also make it difficult for them to boost their portfolio.

David Brown, commercial director of LSL Property Services, said: “House prices have continued along their upwards trajectory, increasing the value of landlords' existing portfolios, but it makes buying addi-

tional rental properties more expensive.”

According to latest figures from Home.co.uk the mix-adjusted average asking price for homes on the market in England and Wales rose by 0.5% in the month leading up to the April Asking Price Index report.

This is the second month in a row that asking prices have risen by 0.5%.

Did Duty Holiday work?

The government has overestimated the effect that the stamp duty holiday has had on the property market, one expert has advised.

Paul Holmes, chief executive of Firstrung, says that he believes the government should now stay "well away" from the housing sector.

"No incentives, no initiatives, they should just let market behaviour take care of the market place but they won't because they are petrified of house prices falling any further," he states.

Mr Holmes' comments come in response to new research from the British Bankers' Association shows that gross mortgage lending has declined.

Some £8.7 billion was lent to homeowners during the month of March, while the average for the past six months has been £9.2 billion.

Similarly, Hometrack recently revealed that house prices increased by 0.2 per cent last month, a figure which is down slightly on the previous two month's growth of 0.3 per cent.

Tough job for those in Number 10 Dale Jannels AToM

By the time you read this, it is possible that the government party destined to lead us for the next few years will be making themselves comfortable in number 10 and any celebrations will be well underway.

However, we know, and statistics show, that they have a huge uphill struggle ahead of them.

Some examples, released by credit action (the national money education charity) report that: l £84.6m is the interest the Government has to pay each day on the UK’s net debt and this is projected to rise to £114m a day (£41.6bn) in

the 2010 – 2011 financial year. l The average owed by every UK adult is £30,258 (including mortgages). This is 131% of average earnings. l Total UK personal debt at the end of March 2010 stood at £1,460bn. The twelvemonth growth was 0.9%. Individuals owe more than the whole country produces financially in a year. l Average outstanding mortgage for the 11.1m households who currently have one now stands at £111,590. l 1,775 people reported they had become redundant every day during the 3 months period to February

2010. l Today, 390 people will be declared insolvent or bankrupt. This is equivalent to 1 person every 3.69 minutes

Without doubt, alarming and stark figures. But wait, there are more to think about: l The UK population is projected to grow by 1,178 people a day over the next decade l Mortgage lenders took 10,200 properties into possession in the fourth quarter of 2009 - 13% lower than in the third quarter, and 2% down on the fourth quarter of 2008, according to the Council of Mortgage

Lenders.

In 2009 as a whole the total number of possessions was 46,000 which was 15% higher than the 40,000 in 2008.This equates to 126 properties being repossessed every day. l In terms of payment difficulties, 188,300 mortgages ended the year with arrears equivalent to at least 2.5% of the outstanding mortgage balance. l More than a fifth (21%) of UK residents currently in debt lie to their partner about the amount of cash they owe, according to a report from the Post Office.

Finally, research from Scottish Widows reveals that al-

though the UK may officially be out of recession, Brits are still feeling financially insecure due to a lack of time and money to focus on their financial futures.

Whilst this has been a series of numbers, it is important to recognise the degree of difficulty facing our ‘leaders’ on a daily basis.

Let’s wish every bit of luck to those resident in number 10.

They will certainly need it!

Wrong house demolished A Texas woman was left trying to figure out what to do after a demolition crew wrongly tore down most of her house, instead of one across the street, a US paper has reported.

Francis Howard told the Denton Record-Chronicle that "I don't have the words to say" about what happened to her family's longtime home.

The 69-year-old woman, who lives with her son in Frisco, said that the family had resided in the Denton home for 47 years.

City records show the house that was supposed to be demolished was ordered to be repaired or torn down, due to unkept lawns, outside storage, junked vehicles and failure to secure the structure.

Grade II listed cottage offers superb views Monkhouse & Bannister are pleased to offer to the market this delightful two bedroom grade II listed cottage in Lower Street, Pulborough, for sale.

The cottage stands in a terrace of traditional cottages which lie on the south side of the village street in the middle of Pulborough.

The property has a timber frame with Horsham stone on the front roof slope and clay tiles on the rear.

From one bedroom on the first floor are some beautiful views southwards across the rooftops to the water meadows and South Downs beyond.

Pulborough village provides a

good range of local facilities which include two supermarkets, a modern medical centre, local shops, library and primary schools.

There is also a mainline rail service to London (Victoria) and the Coast.

The delightful accommodation is approached from a studded oak front door opening into a sitting room with polished parquet floor, bay window, brick fireplace incor-

po-

rating a small wood-burning stove, oak door to Kitchen with similar polished parquet floor and range of cupboards and worktops.

There is a bathroom arranged as a wet room with fully tiled floor.

Dam, that’s big

A turning staircase rises to the first floor landing, which provides access to the two bedrooms.

Outside, the south facing garden is a very attractive feature with a small area of lawn bordered by well stocked flowerbeds and a paved sitting out area. Public parking is availably close by.

The cottage has a guide price of £189,950.

Can you see your house from space? No - well you’re obviously not a Canadian beaver then! Obviously...

Beavers in Canada have built the world's longest dam which can reportedly be seen from space.

The incredible construction is a staggering 2,790ft in length. It is twice the size of what was the world's largest manmade dam - the Hoover dam

Performance is even more acutely of the essence in the new Audi R8 GT, a distillation of the celebrated R8 V10 formula into an even more concentrated and potent form.

Through an engine upgrade to 560PS, and the use of even more intensively weight optimized alternatives to many body and mechanical components, the 100kg lighter R8 GT is able to deliver even more breathtaking pace and handling poise.

A total of 33 examples of the most extreme road-going R8 to date will become available to order in the summer at an OTR price of £142,585.

motors New Crossover

Mitsubishi Motors is pleased to announce the pricing and specification of its all-new urban crossover vehicle, the ASX. It will be priced from £14,999 to £22,049 and UK sales start July 1st.

Alfa owner plea As part of Alfa Romeo's Centenary celebrations, the marque is asking UK owners and Alfisti alike to help commemorate its 100-year history by getting involved in a unique work of art.

Until July 5th, thousands of images submitted to a special online archive will be used to form a mosaic of Alfa's Centenary model, the new Giulietta, as a visual celebration of the brand's 100th year.

A number of iconic images will appear in the mosaic, capturing defining moments of Alfa's rich heritage, from the 158 which took the chequered flag in the inaugural F1 European Championship race 60 years ago at Sil-

verstone, to the Alfa 155 Touring Cars of the mid-1990s, as well as a number of famous on-screen models including the legendary Duetto from The Graduate.

However, most importantly, Alfa Romeo wants its fans, known as Alfisti, and owners to submit photos of their Alfa Romeo cars – both old and new – to tell the real story of one of the most iconic brands in motoring.

Every image successfully uploaded before June 18, will also be included

in a prize draw to win an exclusive Alfa Romeo goodie bag and a pair of VIP tickets to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which takes place this year from 2 - 4 July, when the brand takes centre stage as the featured marque.

Following Goodwood Festival of Speed there will also be an overall prize of a luxury weekend stay at The Goodwood Hotel with a Giulietta to drive for the duration of the stay. The

winner will also get the chance to drive the 8C Competizione on the famous Goodwood motor circuit.

Alfa Romeo UK Brand Communications Manager, Damien Dally, says: "2010 is a huge landmark for Alfa Romeo and we feel that this project will perfectly capture the brand's identity and really allows us to celebrate with the thousands of people who have put us where we are today – our customers."

Volkswagen is set to launch a new model into the Tiguan range – the Match.

Although a familiar name in the Polo, Golf and Touran model ranges, it’s the first time the Match name has been applied to the Tiguan.

The new Tiguan Match will add Park Assist, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, climate control, a touchscreen DAB digital radio and a leather multifunction steering wheel.

The Tiguan Match is on sale now with a starting price of £22,110 ‘on the road’ RRP for the 1.4-litre TSI BlueMotion Technology model with two-wheel drive.

To submit your photo, please visit www.alfacentenary.co.uk

The government scrappage scheme may be over, but that doesn’t mean Chevrolet customers will miss out, thanks to a new incentive at Stevens Chevrolet, Crawley.

Chevrolet is well known for offering great cars at great value prices, but the new ‘Switch and Save’ promotion, which runs until June 30th, will see customers offered at least £2,000 for cars between six and 10 years old.

For further details contact Stevens Chevrolet, Fleming Way, Crawley on 01293 540054 or visit www.chevroletlocal.co.uk/stevens

CASUALTY BBC1, 9pm There’s new blood in the Emergency Department — and it’s not from a head wound. It comes in the form of Lucy Gaskell who joins the cast of the medical drama as staff nurse Kirsty Clements. Ruffling feathers, she makes an instant impression — and not necessarily a good one. It’s Kirsty’s first day in the ED, but her forceful attitude could be her undoing. Spying Ruth with a patient, Kirsty publicly informs her that he’s an addict, after morphine. Ruth is less than impressed to be shown up by the new girl. Jay starts the rumour mill, telling everyone Kirsty left her last job under a cloud.

WORRIED ABOUT THE BOY BBC2, 9pm These days, it’s hard to think about Boy George without his fall from grace springing to mind. After all, it’s less than a year since he was released from prison, where he’d served four of a 15-month sentence for the assault and false imprisonment of a male escort. In fact, there is probably a whole generation out there who know almost nothing about the man born George Alan O’Dowd. But all that’s about to change — or at least it will if people tune into this drama. It features a brilliant central performance from newcomer Douglas Booth, who plays George from his teenage years, when he first began to experiment with clothes, hair and make-up.

The force is with Luke in Mannings Heath Luke Thomas proved a class apart in the latest event staged

by Horsham Riders Trials Club, on a very wet day in Mannings Heath.

He won the Expert course, proving to be head and shoulders above the rest, headed by second place rider, schoolboy Jake Pope.

The sections were made up of rock slabs, and deep muddy slots with a lake nearby, where a rider could find themselves having an unwanted swim if it all went wrong!

The blue route was won by M Marshall, followed by Tom Horsborough and previous blue route winner Tim Husband in third place.

Local man Brian Barnes from Southwater took the win on the yellow route, with a loss of only 3 marks, followed by Iain Philips on a pre ‘65 Greeves motorcycle who lost 8 marks.

A great day’s sport was had by all the riders who went home muddy and very wet .

Beth stars at last qualifiers

Horsham Bluebelles starred at the recent International Baton Twirling Championships in Bournemouth.

A team of 30 from Horsham competed against about 400 other girls and boys from England and Ireland to win places in 67 solo rou-

tines and 12 team routines.

They were also placed 2nd overall.

Coach Carol Wray said: “The girls worked extremely hard putting in many hours of extra practise and this reflected in their fantastic results.”

The corps, which has grown in size to 50 members, ranging in age from 4 to 30, get a great deal of enjoyment out of their training and always welcome new members.

The main aim of the group is not only to teach baton twirling and dance but to make the girls aware

how important it is to work as a team and to support each other.

The group practises on Friday at Forest School. If anyone is interested in joining they should contact Carol on 01403 264662

Classy youth side end season 14 points clear Horsham Youth Under 14s travelled to play Pagham Youth in their last game of the season.

The game was being played at Pagham FC which was a nice venue for the boys to finish their campaign.

Horsham started the game well, moving the ball around as they have all season. It paid off with just four minutes on the clock. Zak Comber was on the line to knock the ball in after some neat play.

Pagham fought back and got a goal when for the first time Horsham's defence went missing to level the scores in the 13th minute.

Horsham got back on top, controlling the game, but could not add to the score before half time.

Horsham came out in the second half still passing the ball around and not letting Pagham have much of the ball. Horsham scored their second in the 42nd minute to regain the lead with a 20 yard shot from Connor Cushing - in his last game before he starts trials for Portsmouth.

Horsham's third was scored by

at the top.

Coach Ian Meadows said: “ I would like to thank all the boys for their efforts this season and also to the parents for their support. Also thanks to Dave Waller and Andy Hole, my assistants, for all their help too.”

Stanley Rice when his shot was deflected in in the 55th minute. The fourth goal was scored by George Hole with a rare right foot shot

from him.

After clinching the title two weeks ago Horsham have gone on to finish the season 14 points clear

A large contingent of Atlantis SC headed down to the coast to take part in the Last Chance Regional Qualifier hosted by Littlehampton SC at the Arun Leisure Centre in Bognor Regis.

The squad attending saw many swimmers hoping to achieve regional qualifying times and for some of the senior swimmers an opportunity to race having just returned from an intensive training camp in Italy.

Once again the club was not let down and the performances produced some outstanding swims and a whole host of medals.

All in all Atlantis managed to achieve 33 regional qualifying times and although some swimmers had already achieved these times it is always good to cement recent good performances. Bringing home a total of 33 Gold, 21 Silver and 11 bronze medals it was a happy team that departed from a very hot Bognor swimming pool.

The coaches were particularly pleased to see Beth Hundleby achieve her regional time in the 200 freestyle after several attempts in the last few months.

Beth’s attitude to training and her will to succeed is rich amongst the swimmers at Atlantis and proves that a lot of effort and hard work gains the results the swimmers strive to achieve.

Towards the end of May sees the start of the Age Group Regionals, where Atlantis will be sending its largest squad in the club’s history – a reflection of the general step-up in the standards of performance at the Club.

Chief Coach Bill Penny said: “This was a very solid performance overall from our swimmers following a very intensive training camp and a long and tiring journey home overland from Italy.

“They will all now be looking to push on from here”.

Holbrook received the league winner’s trophy after a season that has seen a team play some of the best football Division 2 as seen for many years.

Holbrook confirmed their position as champions with still two games to go and a great 5-0 home win against Billingshurst.

The trophy presentation itself took place midweek as the team continued to see the season out in style ,defeating Pulborough at home with fine goals from Mark Green (2) and Paul White.

Manager Simon Cossons commented afterwards: "It's been a great season and all these lads deserve it.

“We have been told so many times by other managers that we have been the best team they have played this season and that we were too good for the league. However, we still had a job to do to prove it.

“I'm already looking forward (providing Mrs C lets me carry on) to next season as we have always raised our game when it counts so playing in a higher league will be a challenge that won't scare us.”

Cowfold Reserves confirmed the Div 3 North title with a 5-2 win over local rivals Henfield reserves.

Henfield managed to take the lead within the first five minutes

is involved at the club for all their support and help throughout the season.”

Cowfold Reserves have been head and shoulders above the rest when a Cowfold player scored an own goal (no names mentioned!).

Fold had some good chances to level the game before the Henfield centre back scored an unstoppable own goal, slicing into the top corner from a Dave Whiting cross.

With the score level at half time Henfield changed formation at the start of the second period and tried a more attacking formation to get at Fold.

But within five minutes Fold found themselves 4-1 up thanks to three stunning strikes from Jordon Williams, giving the keeper no chance with any of them.

Fold were now playing some great football and creating chance after chance.

The move of the game came

when Williams, Parsons and Bellison all combined but Bellison failed to cap off a great move.

The fifth goal did come after the same three players combined again and Parsons turned the last defender and made no mistake from just inside the box.

Henfield managed to get another goal but yet again it was another own goal - four of the 11 goals the team have conceded have been selfinflicted!

Fold could have and should have scored more goals but for some good goalkeeping and some poor finishing the game ended 5-2 to the Fold.

Manager Martin Spooner added: “It’s been another great season and would like to thank everybody who

Alfold emphatically beat Barns Green on a glorious bank holiday weekend.

Although the first half ended 0-0 it was all being played in the Barns Green half – with some great football coming from the home side.

The deadlock was broken 10 minutes into the second half when a move down the right hand side, involving some good link up play, led to a superb cross from Chris Seymour into the box which centre forward Robbie Brininger met to head home and make it 1-0.

Once the first was scored the goals began to follow, Rob Jones added a second with his 5th of the season and on 68 minutes number three came.

Brininger’s excellent run into the box brought about a shot, which the Barns Green keeper saved only for Paul Cooper to follow up with a volley into the roof of the net. 3-0 Alfold continued to push on and didn’t take the foot off the accelerator and were soon rewarded with a 4th, through sub Jack Mills.

Full back Lee Trussler driving run saw him beat 3 men before laying it off to Mills who with the right foot found the net to the keepers despair and rounded off a good day for the home side.

Allstars can’t sink the pink Pictures by Chris Woolgar for The Resident

Minto’s Allstars (in blue) and Hebden’s Legends (pink). A couple of them have even managed to get girlfriends before, although that was a while ago. And it was more girl friend...

You would have forgiven the optimism in the Minto’s Allstars camp before kick off on Sunday afternoon.

Boasting a number of decent players in their team, they were further boosted by the sight of their rivals, Hebden’s Legends, looking more like Team Barbie in their ridiculous pink kit.

But it was the pinks that were to prove victorious, running out 5-2 winners, although the Allstars did give them a scare in the second half.

The pinks had been spon-

sored, inevitably, by John O’Sullivan’s Newsagent Provocateur show for the charity match, which has become an annual fixture.

Once again the match, held at YMCA’s ground at Gorings Mead, raised money for St Catherine’s Hospice. Paul Hebden, the winning team captain, is well known for his work for the charity having raised thousands through the Legends Golf Society.

With Roy Hart officiating, the match was an even affair until Ollie Wassell pounced on

Resident editor Ben Morris fends off the Allstars’ lively striker Ben Bissett

a dreadful goal kick to put the pinks in front.

He coolly swept home with a first time shot from the edge of the box, and there was wild applause from the handful of fans who hadn’t already headed inside to the bar area.

There were chances at both ends before Ben Morris, playing right back, was at the end of a great header across goal from Neil Vanson to make it 20. At least it seemed like a great header until he admitted he was “going for goal”. In which case it was a terrible header, and goes some way to explaining why he never played at a higher level!

After what must have been a stirring team talk from captain Steve Minto, the Allstars came out a different team in the second half, and pulled a goal back through Lewis Keast.

Minutes later they thought they had equalised but were denied by the linesman’s flag in what must have been a very tight call.

They were made to pay, as Morris grabbed his second, again making a run from the back to meet Wassell’s header

across the face of goal.

Great work down the right involving Martyn ‘Benno’ Richardson and Paul ‘PJ’ Williams led to Cowfold’s Dan Dalton sweeping home a fourth, and semi-pro Richie Baker almost notched too. But once again the Allstars rallied, with Ben Bissett looking lively up front, and they got another goal through a fine effort from Sam Rice before Asa Pearson provided the knock-out blow with a fifth.

It must have been a proud moment for the Hebden family as they finally saw son Paul lift a winner’s trophy!

Paul said: “Many thanks to everyone who took part and especially the supporters who braved the dreadful conditions to cheer us on.

“After weeks of (Minto) gloating and telling me how good his team was it was nice to see that class shone through! Sometimes actions speak louder than words, and every one of my players did a job today and the outcome was never in doubt.

“Played two, won two –that’s all I need to say!"

The match was played in a really friendly spirit. It was so friendly that some players swapped shirts before the final whistle!
