The only taxi number you will ever need

Horsham is well and truly on the map now.

On March 11th Google Maps launched its ‘Streetview’ mapping of Horsham, along with about 99% of the UK, and it’s had many residents ‘logging on’ to the Internet ever since.

Like finding out what your name would be if you were Brazilian, or what day you will die on, few can resist the temptation of finding out what they know already - what their house or workplace looks like!

Google’s ‘streetview’ vehicle was out and about in town last May, taking images every few yards on the main roads and streets. Most of Horsham is covered, although annoyingly the coverage of Horsham Town Centre isn’t comprehensive.

Barriers had closed off East Street, and the Carfax isn’t included. The Shelley Fountain is also shielded by greenery from the Bishopric viewpoint.

But on the plus side, if you happened to be out walking the dog or were mowing the lawn on the vehicle’s two visits (thought to be May and Octo-

ber), you may well have been captured by the camera.

On the Horsham Forum and the Horsham page on Facebook, chat has been rife about the streetview images, with one person claiming to have seen themselves washing the car.

On Facebook, one eagle-eyed observer spotted a Lorry ended up on its side at Hop Oast roundabout, facing the wrong way! (view the roundabout from the Southbound carriageway, North of the roundabout.)

There’s a number of great google map funnies from other parts of the world already - the cameras have captured a gun fight, men walking out of strip clubs, marriage proposals and a boy falling off his bike.

If you would like to take a look, visit www.google.com and click on Maps. Type in your postcode or destination to have a closer look. The little yellow man is a useful tool - drag him on to anywhere on the map and it’ll take you to street level.

Just don’t let your boss see you playing on it for too long.

We’re an hour late for press...

Head in the clouds

Jason Phelan is a self-confessed flying nut - although he is no pilot.

Instead, he has developed a passion for flying as a passenger in daredevil aerobatic flights with some of the world’s most skilled pilots at the controls.

And the Horsham resident has set himself the challenge of a lifetime - raising money for fly2help through a thrilling seven day, five nations Aerobatic Challenge in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and France in June

Jason Phelan and Mandy Pantall of fly2help

2011.

Jason said: “In 2008, through my local Aero Club at Goodwood, I became aware of the aviation charity ‘fly2help’ based at Kemble Airport in Gloucestershire.

'Nothing feels better than being up in the air in a plane for me”

“By using flight, fly2help works to turn ordinary days into extraordinary adventures for families who are struggling on a daily basis, to face the future due to a personal trauma or tragedy.

“Having met Mandy Pantall from fly2help, I felt it was my time to give something back to the industry that has awarded me so many years of pleasure.

“It is to this end that I have set myself a personal challenge to raise funds for fly2help.”

Jason has his work cut out even before he steps into a plane for a hammerhead or

barrel roll, as he needs to raise £25,000 whilst also raising invaluable public and corporate awareness of fly2help.

But he’s confident that he can pull it off. Jason said: “I have an in principle ‘yes’ for a flight in a Red Arrows Hawk which will help generate huge PR and interest in this event.

“I went to the Biggin Hill airshow when I was 18 months old and I’ve been going now for 36 years, and travelling all over the country to see shows. Nothing feels better for me than being up in the air in a plane for me.

“This new Challenge

follows on from the success of the Aerobatic Challenge Weekend I completed in April 2009, in which he raised £6904.18 having completed 15 flights with a total of 337 Aerobatic manoeuvres.

“This five nations challenge though will be far more ambitious.”

Jason is aiming to use the many contacts he has made through his job at the Civil Aviation Authority to organise the flights and to arrange a number of fundraising events in

Horsham and surrounding areas.

To this end, 40% of money raised will be going to local charities.

If you are able to help provide sponsorship for Jason’s efforts, please email Jason at jason.phelan@caa.co.uk A video provided by fly2help can be viewed here http://www.fly2help.org/vid eo_player.htm

Going green If you didn’t go to the launch of Greening Horsham last week, or pick up the edition of the Resident with the Challenge card, then don’t miss the latest edition of the Horsham District News magazine.

It has loads of information for residents on how to do their bit to reduce carbon emissions – and save money.

The Council has produced an ‘Acting Together on Climate Change’ poster as a pull out in the spring edition of the magazine, so residents can track their progress towards a greener future.

Under each of the five topics are three ways of making a change, graded easy, medium and harder, giving everyone the opportunity to do their bit.

Acting Together on Climate Change is the first climate change strategy for the Horsham District and was launched last summer.

Fa u l t s p a r k s f i re Fire fighters from across West Sussex were called to tackle a blaze in the first floor and roof area of a large detached house in Coolham Road, West Chiltington last Friday.

The call was received from the owner of the house just after 3.30pm and fire crews from Storrington first to arrive on the scene. Ten appliances arrived shortly after and fought the fire for two and a half hours.

The four occupants were able to leave the house unharmed.

The fire is believed to have broken out in an area on the ground floor close to the main electrical intake, before spreading rapidly to in-

volve the whole of the first floor and roof space.

When firefighters arrived, smoke was pouring from the roof and flames shooting from windows at the front and back of the property.

Teams of breathing apparatus wearers entered the house but faced a severe fire with intense heat as they made their way up the stairs.

The fire was knocked down but teams were then forced to withdraw as the ceilings began to collapse.

Crews then commenced defensive firefighting operations and salvaged valuables and personal belongings for the owner.

Groups celebrate Saxon Weald grant

Two Ashington groups were celebrating on Monday night when the 2010 Saxon Weald Community Grant awards were announced.

Ashington Community Centre was awarded £542 to fund a new bench on the Ashington Recreation ground and Ashington Youth Centre was awarded £1,000.

Paul Conroy, Ashington Neighbourhood Warden and volunteer at the Youth Gym said: “The Willard Youth Gym in Ashington is getting so popular now that we needed to expand into a second floor area over the new gym.

“It is great news for young people who use the

gym and will mean they can have more space for floor exercises and other sorts of activities.”

Roger Yates Chairman of Ashington Community Centre Trust was equally enthusiastic about the grant for a new bench.

He said: “The recreation ground is in the centre of Ashington and is used by many residents. It is a lovely open space and the grant will allow us to buy a further bench.”

Karen Hayler, Ashington Parish Council Chairman, also attended the ceremony at the Horsham Capitol, where both groups were cheques by David Avery, Chairman of Saxon Weald.

Delay as housing plan hits trouble Another week, another housing story!

Yes, but on Tuesday night this application - for a huge new neighbourhood on land East of the A24 (around the back of the Hills Farm Lane/ Tanbridge School area and Broadbridge Heath) - actually reached the stage where Horsham councillors were due to vote on it.

Vote on what, exactly?

A new housing development of up to 1044 homes in the ‘Land west of Horsham’ site. In this new neighbourhood, there would also be a fire station, community centre and expanded school facilities. And a BMX track for kids.

But they didn’t vote?

No, which is good news for those who live in the area and object to the proposal. It is likely that the councillors (sitting on the North Area Planning Committee on Tuesday) would have given the green light to the scheme. But there was a problem with the number of affordable homes proposed.

Affordable? Is there such a thing?

This is when some homes are offered in a range of “affordable” home ownership options (such as shared ownership, where a tenant owns a percentage and rents the remainder from a housing association). Usually the developers don’t like affordable housing, as they don’t make as much money from them.

So why build them?

The council is under great pressure from the government to

Bill King, the former Managing Director of King and Barnes Ltd has received recognition for the quality of the beer produced in his Horsham brewery .

The Beer will now go forward to be entered into the Champion Winter

build a certain number of houses in the district, and a certain number of these must be affordable homes. So when a developer tries to push through a big application for new homes, the council must try and ensure they get as many affordable homes out of it as possible.

And the council and developers can’t agree?

As it turns out, the council’s officers (who do all the leg work before the elected councillors make the final decision) recommended that the application by Berkeley Homes for the 1044 homes go ahead, with 20% of it for affordable homes. But a de-

Paul Martin provided startling pictures to demonstrate that a little rain has no small impact on the area around Hills Farm Lane.

cision on a housing application in Cambridge of all places has changed things...

How’s that?

It’s complicated, but a developer there wanted to build a new estate with 16.5% affordable homes. The council wanted 40% so refused. The developer appealed, and the Secretary of State intervened, dismissing the appeal. Anyway, it all means that Horsham giving the green light to a 20% proposal would have caused no end of problems, so the decision has been put back a month. There will probably be some haggling until the percentage goes up a bit.

So a stay of execution for local residents?

With the decision deferred (which councillors all agreed on, incidentally), yes. But that doesn’t mean that residents are happy about the plans. They have three main grudges - infrastructure and traffic, flooding, and of course the loss of fields which they sort of like having around.

Flooding?

Riviera Chic.

Red, white, navy & black yachtastically combine in a ship-shape blend of stripes & polka dots, complete with anchor and brass button detailing. Inspired by classic Riviera glamour, kick your style into cruise control with La Vida Boutique.

And Mr Martin stacks up the case against...

Yes. The River Arun and its floodplain, along with Boldings Brook tributary which runs parallel to Hills Farm Lane, splits the development area into two.

One resident, Paul Martin, spoke at the meeting and questioned the council officers’s research, and provided photographic evidence of substantial flooding, way worse than the impact assessment seems to suggest. And of course more housing would make it worse..

Mr Martin added: “Would the developer insure the properties from the increased risk of flooding this will bring?”

And transport issues too?

Loads. This development is pretty much integrating Broadbridge Heath in with Horsham, and at rush hour in particular the area is not much fun as it is.

The proposal could include a separate junction on the A24 immediately north of High Wood Hill, and dual carriageway east-west link road, south of Broadbridge Heath.

Maybe it’ll be best to catch a bus!

Well, that was actually a point of debate on Tuesday night.

With this West of Horsham development being touted as a ‘sustainable development’ there was some derision from councillors over the decision to have a bus service only every 30 minutes as oppose to every 15. We’re sure they meant well but really, nobody catches the bus, and they would all be pretty much empty, wouldn’t they?

So is there anything good about this proposal at all?

Well yes. It’s been a long time in the making and we suspect that the officers involved are pretty pleased with their work.

There’s an extension to Tanbridge House School, a new fire station proposed, new cycle links, a BMX track for kids, and

the plans displayed at the meeting (which are better than the Page 6 - we tried to get it for publishing but ran out of time) seems to suggest that the riverside area will be well looked after - enhanced even.

So it’s all down to this affordable housing then?

Seems that way. It’s not a done deal yet though as clearly come councillors are concerned about certain aspects.

Berkeley won’t be happy if they have to raise the rate up from 20%, and will no doubt claim that 40% is not commercially viable. But whatever the rate, we doubt that the Berkeley ‘Boss Hog’ will be turning up on site in anything other than a shiny new German motor.

Where would the housing be by the way?

Housing would be basically split into two zones either side of the riverside corridor and an extended riverside park. So there’s a big, pretty entrance in before it splits left and right.

Like Bolnore perhaps, but not quite so ‘model village’, we hope. The northern site would have 510 homes and the southern site 534. It’ll double the size of Broadbridge Heath, meaning you’ll have to queue even longer to get in and out of Tesco (and spend longer at checkout!) But on the plus side, if you have a BMX...

So Broadbridge Heath is the new Southwater...

Well, until Southwater becomes the new Horsham! In all fairness, nobody wants to build on greenfield land, but these demands are brought on the council by the government.

From what we’ve seen Horsham District Council (officers and councillors) have the same concerns as the rest of us and seemingly is approaching the matter in a logical and considerate way.

So this is a best of a bad

Sailor Necklace £14.99

bunch scenario?

Pretty much. And with this development, if or when it does get the green light, it’ll all be in stages, with on average a little under 100 houses built per year over a 12 year period. So the impact won’t be that dramatic.

And let me get this straight, this is different to all the other proposals I’ve read about?

It is. This has been in the bag for some time. It’s probably going to happen, but the creases need ironing out.

Proposals such as Southwater and Billingshurst will come to the application stage later.

There’s five sites that are being considered for housing (also Holbrook North, Ifield and Chennells Brook). They won’t all go ahead (well, we don’t think) but there won’t be much progress on that for some time now. But if you want to find out more both Southwater (Keep Southwater Green) and Billingshurst (Save Billingshurst) have good campaign websites And what’s Crawsham then?

That’s the joke name given to housing West of Bewbush. It’s a way of filling our housing quota right on Crawley’s doorstep! It narrows the game between the two towns, but not by a lot.

But aren’t they building in Faygate too?

No, that plan has been ditched, so we won’t join up with our northerly neighbours just yet.

So don’t worry, you won’t have people trying to sell you a laptop case full of potatoes for a “good price” in the streets just yet (that was a story in the Crawley Observer last year!)

I’m glad I don’t live in Crawley!

Me too.

Moritz, featuring Pete Scallan (vocals), mike Nolan (guitar), Greg Hart (guitar), Ian Edwards (bass), Andy Stewart (keyboards) and John Metcalf (drums - now played by Mick Neaves), before grunge came along and killed the dream!

Don’t Stop Believing!

Well, we did not see this coming.

Pretty much derided for the best part of two decades, Eighties American radio rock has come back in a big way in 2010.

Journey are back in the charts with Don’t Stop Believing, after the cast of Glee made the song a worldwide chart-topper, and it’s seen a revival for the likes of Foreigner, Boston, Whitesnake, Survivor and REO Speedwagon.

And it’s good news for a Horsham based band too Moritz are back, 21 years after splitting!

Of the six members pictured in the line-up shot (which we’re sure the band won’t thank us for printing!), five are back, with Mick Neaves replacing John Metcalfe on drums.

Predicting the return of AOR rock, the band re-formed last year, penned an album and have been locked in a studio for weeks to put together a brand new album called ‘Undivided’.

It could be available to download as early as next month.

Such is the strength of the revival, Moritz still believe they can hit the big time.

Guitarist Greg Hart (pictured right) said: “This harks back to the glory days of 80s radio rock, and this music is all coming back.

“Journey are huge at the

moment, and that band was very much our blueprint. It’s been out of fashion for a long, long time, and Moritz suffered,. The emergence of grunge basically killed off that scene, and we were all forced to move into the tribute act game.”

But over the past couple of years, Moritz have picked up a small, cult following through the internet, and it has spurred them into action.

Greg said: “We’ve basically got bigger without doing anything!

We were able to get the whole band back together, which was amazing.

We’ve been like a dog with two tails - we can’t believe we’re back doing this after all these years and having so much fun.”

Fun or not, the band are still taking it all seriously. Greg believes that the songs are better than ever, claiming that one of the band’s ballads would be a number one hit record “if Simon Cowell ever got his hands on it!”

Greg also says that singer Pete Scallan has

got better with age, saying he’s “going to prove himself as one of the leading rock singers in the country!

Calling Olympians!

Hello? Anybody...

What do Sally Gunnell and Duncan Goodhew have in common, apart from being former Olympians?

They both have links with West Sussex.

West Sussex–Ahead of the Game, the countywide initiative to help us make the most of the London 2012 Games, is compiling a list of past and future Olympians and Paralympians.

The group is looking for people with a strong connection to West Sussex – born, living, training or educated in the county – that either have the potential to compete in the London 2012 Olympic or Paralympic Games, or have competed in any previous Olympic or Paralympic Games.

There’s a guy who catches the Hop Oast bus sometimes who once told us he was one of the Jamaican bobsleigh team that inspired the film Cool Runnings. But he said a lot of things!

And we know of a local footballer (well, sort of) who has made a £100 bet with mates that he’ll be part of the London 2012 Archery team!

But he makes a lot of bets!

West Sussex has a wealth of sporting talent, and there are many current and former Olympians and Paralympians

Sally Gunnell goes for gold in the 1992 Olympics with a connection to the County.

Just two of the sportspeople from the County who competed in Beijing in 2008 are Tina Cook from Findon

near Worthing who won two Bronze medals in the Equestrian events, and Ben Quilter ,a Paralympic Judo player who is studying at the University of Chichester.

Looking back in time, Suzanne Allday, who was born in Shoreham-by-Sea, competed in the discus and shot put at the 1956 and 1960 Olympics, and Richard Leman, who was born in East Grinstead, was a member of the men’s hockey team that won Gold in Seoul in 1988.

One of the most successful Olympians living in the county is Sally Gunnell, one of only eight British women to win an individual Olympic Gold medal in athletics, who triumphed in the 400m Hurdles in Barcelona in 1992, before adding a Bronze in the 4x400m relay.

Swimmer Duncan Goodhew grew up in Yapton and has a road named after him.

West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Environment and Economy Deborah Urquhart said: “It’s important we celebrate the heritage of sport in West Sussex and the achievements of these men and women.

They’re an inspiration to us all.”

If you are, or know a potential or former Olympian or Paralympian, then please get in touch. You can contact us by e-mail to info@westsussex-aheadofthegame.com

Python on the loose Police have issued a warning about an escaped giant Burmese python which is loose on a housing estate in Northampton.

The green snake, believed to be "several feet long", was seen by a passer-by in the undergrowth in Lingswood, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Police have advised that while it

is not known to be a dangerous species, the beast should not be approached and witnesses should call 999 or the RSPCA

An Australian toddler was so determined to help himself to sweets from a lolly machine that he climbed through the tiny dispensing hatch, ending up imprisoned inside four walls of glass.

Cohen Stone, 2, climbed inside the claw grabber candy machine in an Italian restaurant, where his mother, Kyra, 24, had

brought him to celebrate a friend's birthday.

Kyra, from Perth, in Western Australia, said: "My first thought was "Oh my God."

Thirty-five wild chickens were rounded up in a New York City neighbourhood and taken to an upstate sanctuary.

The New York Daily News said Sunday some of the chickens were hiding under parked cars before they were picked up at the K&N Parking Lot. Volunteers from the Farm Sanctuary, an animal-protection or-

ganization, used bird feed, and nets in rounding up chickens.

Volunteers were simply rounding up chickens that have been living in the Bronx.

A German artist has spent the last three years travelling the world using Lego to fix crumbling walls and monuments.

10,000 voice view of library cutbacks Opening hours for West Sussex Libraries are to change from May 10, after more than 10,000 people across the county responded to a three-week customer consultation.

They were asked to comment on preferred patterns of opening, and were also invited to two-hour ‘surgeries’ held by senior managers in each of the county’s 36 libraries.

The new hours create a harmonised opening pattern across the county, and focus on times when people most want to use their Libraries.

It means all are now open six days a week including lunch hours – some Libraries were previously open only on five days. The actual hours at each library vary in response to local factors, most importantly the preferences local people expressed during the consultation.

sions.

“These are tough economic times, but unlike in other parts of the country all of our Libraries have remained open,” continued Brad. “We are looking at all other aspects of the service, to see how we can become more efficient, and provide even better service to our customers.”

The new opening hours at our local libraries will be:

Kids - this is what telly used to look like hours mean that money has been freed up to invest in libraries.

Previous consultation has shown high demand for things like self service and drop off points. These service improvements will be introduced as soon as possible in the coming months following the changes to opening hours.

“We are confident that within the constraints of delivering an affordable serv-

ice, the new opening hours are tailored to reflect customer choice,” said Brad Watson, County Council Cabinet Member who oversees Libraries.

“Our customers value the fact that their preferences and views were considered.

This was very evident at the surgeries.”

Fantasia spectacular

The HSO, under its principal conductor Steve Dummer, and leader Barry Sutton, will present a varied programme of music by English and Russian composers, past and present at the Capitol on Sunday, 28th March.

The first half of the concert kicks off in rousing form with the colourful A Night on the Bare Mountain,

by Mussorgsky.

The work found great fame through its use in the Disney film, ‘Fantasia’ and is a musical tour de force which displays the tonal effects from all sections of the orchestra to great effect.

Afterwards, there will be a performance of the Clarinet Concerto by the English composer, Gerald Finzi, with Andrew Meredith, the orchestra’s principal clarinettist, as soloist. After the interval there will be performances of new composi-

tions by Ryan Hume, who is studying music at Collyer’s College in Horsham and plays the trombone in the orchestra.

The two pieces, ‘Night before the Battle’ and ‘Concertino for Trombone and Strings’ will receive their premiere.

To round off the concert, the orchestra will play Rimsky Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol. This sparkling work captures the atmosphere and sounds of a bustling Spanish market in the summer.

Hopefully, its Mediterranean character will banish for good those winter blues!

The concert will commence at 3.00 pm. Tickets £12, (£10 senior citizens; £5 for under 18s) Tickets from the Box Office on 750220 or www.thecapitolhorsham.com, or from the HSO ticket Secretary on 01403 891356.

One giant leap for small businesses We’re clearly a confident town when it comes to launching or growing a small business.

Just a few weeks ago it was revealed that the economy grew by just 0.1%, calling an end to the recession - albeit by the most meagre of margins.

But that was enough for a huge number of local entrepreneurs, as numbers for this year’s MicroBiz festival were up an incredible 75%.

The sponsors of Microbiz 2010

The eighth event, held in The Drill Hall, Horsham, on Saturday, has been hailed by sponsors, exhibitors and visitors alike as by far the best ever!

So much so, Twitter has been ablaze with positive feedback and emails have been flooding in to Horsham District Council, the organisers of the event.

“This year’s MicroBiz Fair was a

huge tribute to the energy and enthusiasm of the Horsham District’s small business community,” said Councillor Roger Paterson, Cabinet Member for Local Economy and Leisure at Horsham District Council.

“Not only was the Fair buzzing with business and networking activity, but many of the seminars were also booked out.

“What’s more, there was a 75% increase in visitor numbers this year - which is the best possible statement of future confidence in the Horsham local economy.”

MicroBiz is Horsham’s annual event for small, home based and start up businesses, and a record number of visitors attended this year’s event, with almost 600 business visitors counted in through the front doors.

Added to which, were the 43 exhibitors in the hall, with their teams of up to six people, all busy networking and promoting their wares.

He then went on to judge the best exhibitor stand competition, with first prize going to Spofforths LLP and the runners up prize to Ravenbridge Ltd. MicroBiz relies heavily on the support of sponsors to allow the cost to be affordable to exhibitors and FREE entry to visitors. This year there were more business sponsors than ever, many small and home based, a fantastic endorsement for MicroBiz. Sponsors of MicroBiz 2010 were: NatWest Bank, Spofforths, Business Link, Federation of Small Businesses, All Types of Mortgages, MCCiT, West Sussex County Council, Chichester College, The Marketing Gym, Foundry Press, John Sleight Graphics, The Resident, Printz Charmin, Staples, Spirit FM and All Blewn Up. On behalf of all the exhibitors and business visitors, Horsham District Council would like to thank all the sponsors.

In addition to the buzz all day in the main hall, there were eight business seminars at MicroBiz 2010, delivered free of charge by inspirational local entrepreneurs and respected business professionals.

For the first time in the history of MicroBiz, visitors could prebook seminars on the newly cre-

ated website – www.horshamMicroBiz.co.uk The demand for all the seminars this year was higher than ever before and the most popular, Marketing, was fully booked, with a reserve list.

This Marketing seminar will therefore be re-run in May as an evening MicroBiz MasterClass in a larger venue.

Chris Baister, Business Development Manager at Horsham District Council, added: “We have had the most amazing feedback from MicroBiz. I am told Twitter was buzzing over the weekend with positive comments and Nigel (Fitzsimmons, Business Development Assistant) and I have had emails flooding in from exhibitors, sponsors and visitors saying how much they enjoyed the event.

“At the final count we had a record breaking 585 visitors through the front doors, but as some visitors were coming in the back door or side door unrecorded, it's higher than that.

“In addition, we did not record any of the exhibitors and some had up to 10 people at their stands, all inter-trading, which is a key part of MicroBiz To register interest for this MasterClass and future events, call 01403 215529 or email business.development@horsham.gov. uk

Green recycling is all white for now

It wasn’t so long ago that every street seemed to have one resident who felt that their own front lawn was a dumping ground for old furniture and electrical goods.

Grass and weeds would grow unopposed against old washing machines, and missing cats could usually be found snuggled on the old two-piece sofa that had been rotting for two years next to half a motorbike without a front wheel.

Sadly, such artistic gardening design could be a thing of the past with next month’s launch of the district’s Mobile Household Waste Service.

The new service will accept green waste for composting and some white goods for recycling, and gets the green light on April 3rd.

The white goods/bulky waste that can be accepted at the new mobile green waste recycling service in Horsham include large white goods (cookers, washing machines, dishwashers) and bulky furni-

So that’s where by Commodore Plus 4 ended up... ture (tables, sofas etc).

Hazardous waste cannot be accepted due to waste regulations. So fridges, freezers, televisions, computer screens, batteries and any chemicals or liquids cannot be accepted.

This new service, which will be available between April and November, will compliment Horsham District Council’s successful Acorn kerbside col-

lections.

These were launched in 2002 to encourage recycling and reduce the amount of rubbish going to landfill.

The new mobile green waste recycling service also reflects the importance the County Council places on the three Rs – Recycling, Reducing, Reusing – to ensure as much rubbish as possible is diverted from land-

fill.

Derek Whittington, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning, said: “We see this development as yet another measure to ensure our county maintains its status as a UK pacesetter when it comes to recycling.

“There will be additional staff on site to help customers and manage traffic to ensure safety and improve the turnaround.”

The mobile service operates in:

Henfield – High Street Car Park (subject to change) Pulborough – Lower Street Car Park.

Steyning – Church Street Car Park.

Storrington – Library Car Park.

A limited service for the landfill waste will continue and will operate at a different time to the new mobile green waste recycling service.

Brush up for Crufts With world famous dog show Crufts kicking off last week, Horsham veterinary surgery Arthur Lodge is challenging dog owners to spruce up their pets.

Arthur Lodge owner Julian Peters said: “Whatever breed of dog you have, there are things that you can do to make them look their best, after all a dog is just like us, they always feel better when they look good!

“Dog grooming is a major part of an animals care and health regime and I hope that my advice will ensure that all man’s best friends are kept looking spick and span.”

There are a number of different dog brushes on the market so when purchasing one, owners should select a brush that is specifically designed for your dog’s hair type.

Brushes with brist l e s that are

farther apart are best for dogs with long and thicker hair, whereas it is better to use brushes with shorter and harder bristles for shorthaired dogs.

A trip to the hairdressers is not an easy option for a dog, so if an owner feels confident enough, a trim can be done at home.

To help give Rover a glossy coat that is seen on dogs at Crufts, regular bathing is imperative.

Bath time is maybe not a dogs’ favourite activity, so it is a good idea to have someone on hand to gently comfort them during bath time, and also help to keep the dog from jumping out!

After a bath, keep the dog indoors until the fur is completely dry to stop them from getting a chill.

If you would like further information, the Arthur Lodge team are always on hand to offer advice.

They can be contacted on 01403 252964 or alternatively pop into the surgery based on Arthur Road, Horsham for a chat.

Pedal powering to the Pacific

Three local lads are chasing the American dream - and will be heading across the States using pedal power alone.

John Maguire, Nick O’Carroll and Colin Swetman will begin their coast to coast cycle at the Atlantic Ocean in Atlantic City, New Jersey and finish at the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco, California.

The trio’s journey, nicknamed Ride Route 40 as the majority of it will be along the historic US Highway 40, will see them cover over 5,200km (3,250miles) across 14 states and four time zones.

And the plan is to cover this distance in just 43 days, including 7 rest days, meaning on average they will have to cycle 90 miles per day. Added to this they are going unsupported so will have to carry everything they need themselves making the successful

completion of this journey an incredible achievement.

John, Nick and Colin are now busy fundraising and collecting sponsorship for their chosen charity, Help for Heroes, which provides direct and practical support to wounded service personnel.

All 3 feel strongly about this cause and want to help the brave men and women who risk their lives for their country.

The lads are planning to boost the amount they raise and promote their cause by organising some fundraising

events; the first of which is confirmed as Quiz Night at Broadbridge Heath Extra Time Bar on Friday 26th March and the boys will also be running a raffle over the coming months.

Aside from looking for donations for their cause, the lads are also on the lookout for people and organisations to donate, sponsor or subsidise any of the kit they need and will be happy to advertise the generous donator on their website and on their clothing.

There is also the hope that some local businesses may be able take part in a sponsorship initiative, by sponsoring the planned mileage for a day at £1 per mile.

The Resident was contacted

by Andrew Skudder, Labour parliamentary candidate for Horsham in the upcoming elections, concerning an article in last week’s edition of The Resident.

Andrew pointed out that, in our story about the Facebook campaigns by potential candidate John O’ Sullivan and Mr Skudder, we had missed something...Andrew is one of the ‘fans’ of the Candy Box owner’s bid to become an MP. All this after fellow potential candidate, Jim Duggan (Peace Party) was spotted at John’s recent comedy show at the Capitol, Newsagent Provocateur.

What next for John- a game of squash with Francis Maude?

Perhaps not...

The walks are open to people of all abilities, ages and experience. They vary in length, from short one mile routes, to longer, more involved ones. All walks are free, just turn up and join in.

Over the Easter weekend there’s a variety of walks including a six mile walk in St Leonard’s Forest and a two mile walk in Barns Green on Good Friday.

On Easter Sunday there are a couple of walks, including one at Chanctonbury Ring, and there’s a 10 year celebration walk from Billingshurst to Petworth in May.

26th Mar8th Apr

Alfie actor won’t take the Michael From the picture above, you’d think that Eddie Elks was born to play Alfie!

You’d also think that, in preparation for his role in a stage production of Alfie showing soon at the Capitol, Eddie would have been watching the 1966 Michael Caine classic repeatedly for months.

So it’s surprising to hear that he’s actually never seen the film in its entirety.

Eddie, who trained at the Guildford School of Acting, said: “I’ve watched about half of the movie, but then I decided that it wasn’t going to help me with the role.

“I wanted to base the role on my own interpretations of the text.

“As for the Jude Law version, (the film was remade in 2004) well I haven’t seen that and am not in a great hurry to do so!

“There’s obviously a physical resemblance to Michael Caine with me; I just don’t want to be an imitation on the stage.”

The film was actually an adap-

tation by Bill Naughton of his own original play, and on 31st March Berkshire-based Blackeyed Theatre Company brings to the stage a brand new production of Alfie to the Capitol.

Alfie is the brilliant, original stage play about a young man with an overwhelming desire for the ladies.

You might say that ‘birds’ are irresistible to him, sort of second nature. There's Ruby - ‘A lust box in beautiful condition’; Clare ‘You're all lathered in sweat, Alfie’; and Siddie, and Clara, and Annie - but who's counting? Certainly not Alfie. Three in one evening if necessary. And necessary is the right word!

Alfie combines great comedy and genuine pathos, as well as live 60s music, as it tells the story of a cockney ‘Don Juan’ who swaggers and philosophises his way from conquest to conquest, carefully rejecting anyone or anything that might touch

him too deeply.

Bringing together the same artistic team behind Blackeyed Theatre’s highly acclaimed national tour of Oh What A Lovely War in 2008, Alfie promises captivating performances, fabulous design and great live music.

Eddie said: “there’s only a small cast, and we all play music throughout.

“You’ve got tracks by the likes of Buddy Holly a n d (jerry L e e Lewis’s) G r e a t Balls

of Fire. The music is a big part of the show.

“This production is really a vibrant take on the play with a modern text. There are heavier moments to the play - it’s not all totally frivolous - but entertaining all the same.”

It’s great news that someone’s taken over the cafe in time for Spring and we see it’s already proving popular.

Homes that showed they were losing heat when an innovative heat seeking vehicle drove around Horsham recently are to be offered insulation at a discounted price.

For homeowners on low incomes, insulation may be available for free.

During the first two weeks of March, HeatSeeker vehicles have been driving around town using thermal imaging techniques to highlight homes which may benefit from improved insulation.

The scheme has been developed by the Energy Saving Partnership and is operating with the agreement of Horsham District Council.

After carefully reviewing the images taken, HeatSeeker experts have identified the homes which may benefit from cavity wall insulation or additional loft insulation.

Over the next few weeks its surveyors will be knocking on the

doors of these houses (householders can opt out from this – please see below), showing residents the thermal image of their property and talking to them about the insulation measures which are available to them. They will also be revealing just how much money they could save on heating bills by insulating their home – up to £265* each year.

To provide homeowners with a solution for potential insulation needs identified by HeatSeekers, the project has teamed up with Mark Group.

H ey Y ’ a l l , Let’s play Some Ball!

American exports have, of course, changed the way of life for all of us across the Atlantic.

From Microsoft to McDonalds, the movies we watch, the music we love, the cars we drive, cappuccino, Coca Cola, Mickey Mouse, KFC - we owe it all the U.S of A. But not everything that’s been big in the States has found success in other parts of the world - country star Garth Brooks for instance, and of course their national game Baseball.

Except that it, if you come from Horsham, where we just love it!

For the youngsters around here have developed a great love for the American game, so much so that Horsham Junior Baseball Club is one of the top teams in the country, with many of its young players regularly called up for national representation.

The Resident was present at the club’s Open Day last year, and was amazed to see hundreds of young people - girls and boys - enjoying a game that promotes both individual skill and great team spirit.

W h a t ’ s more, they were all kitted out in dazzling, colourful team kits at the club’s home turfthe Ben Vodden Memorial

Pitch at Ingfield Manor School, Five Oaks. The scene was reminiscent of parks the length and breadth of America on a Saturday morning Although the club has a playing membership of 300 youth members, making it the largest junior baseball program in the UK, the club are always looking to broaden its base membership.

To that end HJBC are now looking to invite boys and girls aged between 5 and 14 to come and try out with on Saturday 14th April, at 1-5pm. (details on advert) Just weeks away from the start of the new season, brave members from the club have met to take part in a sponsored bike ride (pictured) to raise money for the club’s new dug outs.

Despite the cold weather 11 members of HJBC wrapped up in several layers and took on the 20 mile bike ride

from Christ Hospital to Partridge Green and back again.

Including the stops at the teams check points of Bax Castle, Southwater, Copsale and West Grinstead the ride was completed in just under four and a half hours – a mean feat considering some of the riders were just seven years old.

Coach Robert Burnie commented: “Having dug outs at our home ground would be incredible and will make our players feel all the more professional.

Rob continues: “Each dug out will cost over £1,000 so we are trying to hold as many fundraising events as possible.

The club members that took part in the sponsored bike ride raised a fantastic £150 to put towards our goal but we still need the help from the local community.”

If you would like to sponsor HJBC to assist with their dug outs or find out more about becoming a volunteer coach or a player for the team please www.horshambaseball.co.uk or see the advert

Action from the Under 8s

Horsham Under 8s gained good match experience (all pictures by Clare Turnbell)

Colts are Hot Shots Horsham’s young hockey players were in action at a series of Colts tournaments across the region last weekend.

The Under-8s was a fun, mixed mini tournament on Sunday at Millais School in Horsham, offering the opportunity to give the youngest

group of colts a taste of a proper match experience.

Horsham had two teams and all of the young players enjoyed it, and there were no complaints despite it being bitterly cold.

The Under-10s and Under12s boys mini festival was also held at Millais, with teams

from Mid Sussex, Guildford, East Grinstead and Burgess Hill as well as Horsham taking part.

The U-10s was a number of round robin games for fun only, but the U-12s were more competitive with pool games followed by a final.

Mid Sussex won with Burgess Hill runners up. Horsham took 3rd and 4th places.

The Under-14s travelled to East Grinstead for a development tournament. Horsham finished overall winners, beating Eastbourne, East Grinstead and Oxted along the way.

Joel Chinn stood in as goalkeeper at short no-

tice, having spent the morning playing in the Under10s tournament at Horsham.

Despite being f o u r y e a r s younger than the rest of the team he made some really good saves.

Everyone played really b r i l l i a n t l y, with strong performances

from John K i m b e r l e y, Peter Neave, Zac Chinn and Will Salmon and man of the match Austin Harwood Stamper.

At all the games in Horsham, older colts from the club gained valuable experience umpiring all the matches.

The Colts teams train on a Sunday morning up at Broadbridge Heath Sports centre’s all weather pitch and new players are very welcome - no

experience necessary. Training stops at Easter but will be starting again at the beginning of September.

Increasing competition

Paul Watts from Mortgage Solutions Limited comments on the decision to retain the Bank Base rate to 0.5% for the 12th consecutive month

We have now seen the Bank Base Rate stay at the low level of half of one percent (0.5%) for the 12th consecutive month.

During February it was reported that the UK economy had actually grown and although this is positive news, it still suggests that the wider economy is fragile and growth will be slow and limited for the near future.

The low interest rates have certainly benefitted many customers who have seen their mortgage repayments reduce substantially over the last year or so.

However, inflation is starting to rise quite significantly and a rise in interest rates to more historically “normal” levels will inevitably have to come at some stage. The question is - when will the economy be strong enough to overcome any rise in rates that may introduced?

Product Availability February and March (to date) has seen competition for business amongst the major high street mortgage lenders, with the number of products available remaining around the 3,500 level, some 1,110 more than the same period last year.

Although we have seen overall product numbers increase, lenders are still very cautious when assessing a

customer’s suitability for a mortgage.

90% Mortgages We are now seeing some competition from lenders offering higher loan to value mortgages with a significant increase from several months ago in the number of lenders currently offering products at up to 90% of a properties purchase price.

Remortgaging February has continued to see a steady level of remortgage business but we do expect to see this start to rise slowly in the coming months as lenders look to attract new customers with increasingly attractive remortgage deals.

With several lenders recently increasing their Standard Variable Rates without any corresponding increase in Bank Base Rate, some customers may want to consider remortgaging to a fixed rate to protect themselves from any further increases that a lender may choose to pass on, as and when interest rates rise, as they undoubtedly will at some stage in the future.

Paul Watts is from Mortgage Solutions Limited - for further information on how the latest base rate decision affects you please call 01403 241414 or visit www.mortgagesolutionsltd.co.uk

Art competition for children

43 Millfield, Southwater

Jessica Harvey’s winning entry in 2008 Following the popularity of their drawing competition in recent years, local letting specialists Leaders are once again giving local children the chance to win £250 for their school plus £50 worth of art equipment for themselves.

This year the theme is ‘Draw your Ideal Home. This can be anything from a realistic house, flat or castle to the more fantastical: a teapot, sweet factory or spaceship!

The entries can be in any medium – paint, pencil, collage, crayon, etc – and need to be no bigger than A4 in size.

Says Leaders’ Managing Director, Paul Weller: “In the last three years we have been inundated by entries to our drawing competition from children across the areas we cover, and have been delighted to award hundreds of pounds to local schools.

“We have been very impressed by the time and effort the children have taken over their entries and have had some very worthy winners.

“As a long established business with a large number of employees and clients across Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, we like to make a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate, whether by helping to raise funds for local charities or sponsoring indi-

viduals or community projects.

“Our drawing competition has become a fun way for us to contribute to local schools and we hope to see lots of children taking part again this year.”

Children aged between 4 and 11 years old are invited to enter the competition. There will be two categories: ages 47 years and 8-11 years.

The deadline for entry is Thursday, 1st April and the winners will be notified and announced by the end of April.

The winners in each category will be awarded £250 for their school, plus a £50 gift voucher for themselves to spend on art equipment.

To take part in the competition, please send your artwork (no bigger than A4 size) to Lisa Martin, PR Manager, Leaders Ltd, Columbia House, Columbia Drive, Worthing, West Sussex, BN13 3HD. Don’t forget to write your name, age, contact telephone number and which school you attend clearly on the back.

A selection of the artwork will be published on Leaders’ website and the winning entries will be displayed in the winners’ local branch.

Unfortunately it will not be possible to return artwork.

For more information contact Leaders in Horsham on 01403 217585 or email horsham@leaders.co.uk

Spring rush is good news for owners

If you want to sell your home in 2010, now is the time to get your property on the market according to local estate agent Fox and Sons.

According to the branch in Horsham, the spring period, especially around Easter weekend, is one of the busiest times of the year for buying and selling property. As people shake off the cobwebs of winter and the weather gets warmer, potential buyers will be out in force looking for a new home.

“Spring is a great time to sell,” says Fox and Sons Branch Manager Daniel Marks.

“Not only will properties look nicer in better weather but increased appetite to move during the spring period means sellers will have more prospective buyers competing to buy their home making it more likely you will achieve offers closer to the asking price.

“We almost always see a rush of buyers entering the market in springtime,” Daniel “It seems that many feel inspired by the warmer weather and longer days to start making plans for the future, including looking for a new home.”

Fox and Sons as part of the Sequence national estate agency network, has seen a marked increase in the level of buyer interest in 2010.

Figures so far this year indicate strong demand from home buyers and the team in Horsham fully anticipate this will translate into a bumper spring with increased numbers looking to buy before, during and after the Easter weekend.

To find out more about selling your property, the local market or to arrange a free market appraisal, contact Fox and Sons on 01403 217 417

Acorn makes new roots “In 2006 after spending three years living and working in Switzerland we decided to return to the UK and settled on Horsham.

“We chose Horsham after researching the area on the Internet, seeing it had excel-

lent schools for our daughters, good employment prospects and was a very nice place to live.

“We checked the area out with a couple of trips and initially chose to rent in neighbouring Southwater.

“After a year we moved into Horsham and rented again, decided it was the place for us and started looking to buy. In 2008 we bought a house in the centre of Horsham and are now firmly rooted.

“After some preliminary background promotional work we officially launched the Acorn business in the New Year and are looking forward to developing the business.”

-David and Jenny Hirst

LandLords Wanted

David and Jenny Hirst have established a branch of Acorn Residential Lettings in Horsham Town Centre A new family run Lettings Agency is already building up a fine reputation in Horsham for its focus on great service and customer care.

After enduring years of generally poor service from various Letting Agents, David and Jenny Hirst felt they could combine their experience and offer a better deal for clients.

In November 2009, the couple decided to set up a branch of the Acorn Residential Letting franchise as it offered the backing of a very successful team but with the autonomy and independence that they were seeking.

Acorn Residential Lettings Horsham Ltd is steadily building a great reputation amongst local landlords who are reaping the benefits of using local people who are first and foremost investors themselves; and not just another Letting Agent.

Acorn are currently offering landlords a number of incentives as they bid to cement the company’s foundation in Horsham, including: l Free First Tenant Find Fee l Free Home visit to see how the tenant lives now l Free placement of a To Let sign at the Property l And as a final offer, register NOW and try the Acorn experience FREE for the first month.

For all this you only pay 10% + VAT for the Fully Managed Service.

Acorn Residential Lettings Horsham Ltd also offers:

1. No nonsense Management contracts – simple to understand with clear notice periods. YOU decide the contract period, whether its 6 or 12 months - and you will not be tied into a ‘no refund’ 12 month Insurance policy either!

2. Regular rental payments made

on the same day of each month.

3. 24/7 access to your Acorn account via the internet. With Acorns up to date Web based system you can view your Property Account any time you like, checking for payments, progress on repairs or even when the next Gas Safety check is due.

4. Benefit number 4 is all about Communication and is very much a passion of Jenny’s. When you join Acorn you will be assigned your own Client Manager who will look after all aspects of you're property.

Jenny is so passionate about making the communication process second to none that she has committed to managing the first 75 clients to set the standard for others to follow.

5. Repairs. Acorn will inform you of any repairs to your property before they take place, so you won’t get any nasty surprises at the end of the month.

6. The right tenant. At Acorn, David and Jenny know you need the RIGHT tenant. Just some of the ways they ensure this includes a comprehensive application process, Employer or Working guarantors taken in all instances, a home visit to ascertain how the tenant lives now, and six monthly inspections from which you receive a detailed report including a comprehensive set of digital photos.

We could go on and on highlighting the benefits and discussing the ways in which Acorn, in the capable hands of David and Jenny, is so different from so many other Letting Agents. However the best way to find out is to come and try the Acorn experience for yourself.

First In Letting www.leaders.co.uk

Experience in Letting Paramount, warns Leaders Unless particularly knowledgeable about property services, the majority of people are unaware of the intricacies of residential property lettings, and of the importance of using an experienced, qualified and independent letting specialist when renting or letting a property.

and tenants to choose their letting agent carefully; this is not the time to be cutting corners or taking risks. The effects of the credit crunch mean that even tenants who would normally be considered extremely creditworthy, for example, employees of investment banks, may get into difficulty or lose their jobs. It is in times like this that experience is paramount, to safeguard your investment and ensure that any potential problems are kept to a minimum.”

According to Leaders – one of the UK’s Kathy Taylor, Senior Branch Manager - Leaders Horsham largest independently owned letting agents – this is a concern, particularly at a time when more and more people are renting and letting property and many new lettings services are springing up as a result.

There are six key questions you should always ask a letting agent before deciding whether to rent or let through them. And the answer to all six should be YES: 1. Are you a member of a professional body?

2. Do you maintain separate client accounts?

3. Are you bonded?

4. Do you hold professional indemnity insurance?

5. Are your staff qualified?

6. Are you a member of a tenancy deposit protection scheme?

Says Kathy Taylor, Senior Manager: “When you use the letting service of an agent you entrust them to do more than simply find you a home to rent or a tenant for your property. You rely on them to take care of a number of critical issues, including ensuring the tenants’ safety in the property; legal compliance; care and maintenance of the property; protection of landlord’s and tenants’ rights; smooth-running of the tenancy; and reliable provision of accurate, up-to-date and impartial advice on the many aspects of renting or letting.

“With all this in mind, wouldn’t you be more confident knowing that your chosen agent is a qualified and experience specialist who knows everything there is to know about lettings, rather than someone new to lettings with minimal experience and no qualifications?”

Leaders are concerned about the quality of service being offered to unwitting landlords and tenants by the increasing number of inexperienced agents providing lettings services.

Says Kathy: “Now, more than ever, it is important for landlords

To be on the safe side, Leaders advise landlords and tenants to only consider an experienced letting agent that is a member of a relevant professional body such as ARLA or RICS. A licensed ARLA agent will have been practising lettings for at least two years and have at least one ARLA qualified member of staff.

Says Kathy: “As well as being able to answer yes to all the above, your chosen letting agent should ideally specialise in lettings, with many years of experience in the industry and an excellent local reputation. The staff should have a thorough understanding of your local market and most importantly, they should be completely impartial. We strongly advise landlords never to take rental advice from an agent who is selling you a buy-to-let property.”

Historic concept

Honda’s weird new concept

Deals on wheels

Ford Motor Company has confirmed that its global electric vehicles plan is extending to Europe with five full electric or hybrid vehicles across its C, CD and light commercial vehicle ranges coming by 2013.

Specifically, Ford will launch two zero-emission full battery-electric vehicles including the Transit Connect Electric light commercial vehicle in 2011 followed by the Ford Focus Electric in 2012.

Three other vehicles – two next-generation petrol hybrid-electric vehicles and a plug-in hybrid – will be introduced in 2013.

Celica, MR2, Supra, Corolla AE86: Toyota’s great driver-focused sports cars of the past have inspired its vision for a future-generation concept model that has made its European debut at the Geneva motor show.

In creating the FT-86 (Future Toyota-86) Sports Concept, Toyota has directly referenced the excitement and fundamental fun-todrive quality that characterised the Corolla AE-86.

In its day the AE86 became a must-have model for rallying and circuit racing, with i t s fronte n -

gine, rear-wheel drive powertrain, compact dimensions, light weight, impeccable balance and strong power to weight ratio.

Even more than 20 years on from the end of production, it remains a popular choice with privateer rally teams.

The FT-86 Sports Concept previews a new-generation Toyota sports car, designed to recapture the spirit of the AE86, sharing its front-engine, rear-wheel drive creden-

tials.

Rather than use a heavy, large displacement engine for performance, it is equipped with a freerevving 2.0-litre petrol unit with a six-speed manual gearbox with compact dimensions, light weight and a low centre gravity. Deployed in a front-engine, rear-wheel drive format, this powertrain delivers lively, accessible performance with engaging dynamic abilities and maximum driving pleasure.

The low, highly aerodynamic bodyshell is stretched tight over the engineering hard points, and, measuring 4,160mm long overall, the bodywork

has been rendered as compact as possible.

The cockpit is purely functional and ergonomically efficient, with widespread use of sporting, ultralightweight components and finishes that support the car’s balanced weight distribution and power to weight ratio.

Rather than treating the 2+2 interior design as a stylised addition to the cabin framework, a thin, tight-fitting skin has been applied to the essential cockpit components, as can be seen in the treatment of the dashboard and seat upholstery The FT-86 measures 4,160mm long, 1,760mm wide and 1,260mm tall, with a 2,570mm wheelbase. It rides on 19-inch wheels shod with 225/40R19 tyres.

To meet strong demand for the popular Mazda6 from both retail and fleet customers, Mazda Motors UK is bringing forward the ‘on sale’ date for the upgraded Mazda6 models for 2010.

The new 19-strong range features refreshed exterior and interior styling, additional equipment and a range of significant technical enhancements that improve fuel economy by up to 6.4% Customers will be offered a choice of hatchback and estate models, and prices range from £16,990 to £23,445 on-the-road.

The Resident did pretty well with it’s F1 predictions - made prior to winter testing.

Rosberg does seem to be giving old man Schumi a hard time, and although Alonso won, we still suspect he might not have it all his own way against Massa. And a solid start for Lewis, our early tip for the title. Shocking race though!

Special editions

Lotus’s flower blooms

At the 80th Geneva Autosalon, Aston Martin presented the world debut of the V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition, a new bespoke service; Works Service Tailored and the new DBS UB-2010.

The first V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition is displayed on this year’s show stand celebrating the enormous success of the V12 Vantage. Featuring bespoke Carbon Black metallic paint especially formulated with a subtle metallic twist to create a deep rich patina.

Aston Martin also commemorates Dr Ulrich Bez’s 10th year as Chief Executive of the company by unveiling the DBS UB-2010 edition..

Each DBS UB-2010 has been specified personally

by Dr Bez and features a unique ‘Azurite Black’ paint finish, a metallic bronze leather with woven leather seat inserts and a ‘Cryptic Titan’ facia finish.

Lotus is back in F1, and while they won’t be winning many races just yet, it’s raised the marquee’s reputation.

The multi-award winning Lotus Evora provides the basis of the stunning carbon design concept

unveiled at Geneva.

The car boasts a stylish carbon fibre, leather and alcantara interior, aggressive carbon diffuser and an evocative high tech composite body.

The Evora Carbon Concept car

emphasises Lotus’ motorsport pedigree, utilising beautiful high quality materials with exposed carbon fibre and plush alcantara.

The striking white concept car is finished in an advanced water based pearlescent paint that con-

trasts with the exquisitely finished weave on the carbon fibre panels.

The head turning looks of the car provide a more purposeful, planted stance with the car looking lower and more aggressive.

Big Screen Legends Short Time

Short Time wasn’t a great film, but it does contain one of the all time great car chases.

It’s not like the incredibly choreographed chases of Ronin or Bad Boys - more like the best bits of all the A-Team episodes rolled into one eight minute chase.

Mixed-up medical results have mistakenly convinced police officer Burt Simpson that he’s dying. He wants his son to collect insurance money but he has to die in the line of duty.

So when Burt hears of a

high speed pursuit, he gives chase in his maroon 1981 Plymouth Caravelle cop car.

Having left his partner behind, after asking him to check the rear tyres, Burt chases down the bad guys who are shooting at him - as well as about 10 other police cars (mostly Plymouth Gran Fury) - from their getaway car, a 1976 Pontiac Parisienne.

Shouting “This one’s for you Dougie - you’re gonna go to college little guy!” Burt smashes through roadworks and rams other police cars

17

out of the way, and before long he’s the only car left in the chase. His car is shot up, and the hood goes up so he leans out of the window, and doesn’t give up the chase even after rolling down a freeway embankment.

The pair then roar through downtown LA, jumping over ramps, smashing through glass, before Dougie allows the other car to smash directly into his side. It all ends in a mammoth crash, but Burt climbs out unscathed.

“Can’t you idiots do anything right?” he says.

Saturday TV Choice

ANT & DEC’S PUSH THE BUTTON ITV1, 7.30pm Ant and Dec must have the television equivalent of the Midas touch as Push the Button continues to light up the primetime weekend schedules and is every bit as entertaining as Saturday Night Takeaway. The show sees two families go headto-head in a series of madcap games in a bid to win up to big cash prize. Both families begin the show with £100,000, but each game is designed to reduce their total winnings. This evening, another set of families compete against one another in the hope of winning unbelievable amounts of money.

THE RESTORATION MAN Channel 4, 9pm George Clark is back on the box with this ambitious new project.

The architect’s TV career started out when he fronted Build a New Life on Five, but these days he’s more likely to crop up on Channel 4’s The Home Show. Restoration Man doesn’t, however, see him helping members of the public deal with putting up a conservatory or doing a loft extension — it’s rather more grand than that. Instead, George will be travelling the length and breadth of the country, looking for neglected architectural gems in the hope of bringing them into the 21st century.

Boxers prepare for big night

Two of Horsham Amateur Boxing Club’s boxers had bouts last Saturday in preparation for the clubs annual home show next weekend (27th March).

15-year-old Carl Francis travelled up to Hornchurch in Essex and lost a points decision to Hornchurch's own Lewis Kirk, one year his senior.

Trainer Dan Purchase said: “Carl was significantly shorter than his opponent and he worked hard from the start right to the end of the third round.

“We were pleased with his effort, and hope he can take this on to the home show."

Senior heavyweight Asa Pearson contested his first ever bout on the same night on the South Coast at Brighton City Amateur Boxing Club's show at the Thistle Hotel on Brighton Seafront.

He was matched up against Brighton City's own 90KG Marcos Husler

who, at 31 years old, was 12 years older that Pearson.

The bout turned into a real battle with the crowd on it's feet.

Pearson took a unanimous points decision by boxing well against a strong, durable opponent.

Juniors battle to Battersea result Horsham Under 13s rugby team battled to a thrilling 2222 draw against Battersea Ironside.

Horsham had just 18 boys for the game, drafting in two under 14s players for the second half, while Battersea were able to switch their entire XV, so it was a superb performance against a team that may well win Surrey A Division.

It was a great all round team performance, but captain Tom Ayre, Declan Nwachukwu, Ryan Day and Steffan Price all scored tries, and there was a number of stand-out displays including Daniel Riley, David Fennelly and Joe Taylor.

The game followed a tight 125 victory over Hover Under 13’s the previous week.

Horsham Youth Under 14s football team played their second double header in two weeks against Bourne Sports Yth in the Arun & Chichester League.

Horsham started well passing the ball around and creating some good play.

Horsham got their first goal though Zak Comber after some nice movement. Zak got his second not long after and Connor Cushing added a third for Horsham.

In the second half Horsham seemed to make hard work of it, but all of a sudden with some

nice one touch football Horsham got their fourth with a nice finish from Stanley Rice.

The second game was a different game. With some changes Horsham seemed to take a long time to get their game together.

It was not until well into the second half that Horsham managed to create an opening with a well taken goal by Stanley Rice from just inside of the edge of the 18 yard line.

Alex Parsons made it safe just before the end.

Billingshurst Under 14s claimed a comfortable 7-1 victory away to Horsham Crusaders Knights.

George Dell opened the scoring for Billingshurst but Horsham Crusaders Knights had evened the score by the break.

The second half began with Sam Welch scoring one of his two-goal tally followed by Danny Kirkland scoring another hat trick and DJ adding a seventh.

Team manager Robin Phillips remarked: “I just hope this purple patch continues to the end of the season and the boys win the Plate Final on 25th April.”

Roffey Robins Athletic Under 14s won by the same scoreline at Henfield.

Henfield actually looked the better side for most of the first half, and took a well deserved lead, all be it an own goal in a desperate goal mouth scramble.

Roffey defended well, and looked for the counter attack to get back in the game, eventually Dan Goddard broke down the

right, and his cross was met by Connor Pollard, who finished well from 10 yards to make it 11 at half time.

After an inspiring and loud half time team talk, Roffey came out of the traps, and were 2-1 up in side 1 minute of the re-start, George Hole rounded two defenders and slotted from 8 yards, with Henfield camped in their own half, the goals continued.

Max Lewis converted from 5 yards, a George Hole cross was bundled in by Connor Pollard, George Hole added another after a neat through ball from Zac Malinsky.

Connor Pollard beat a defender, rounded the keeper, and kindly left the ball for Max Lewis who finished well from 12 yards.

Matt Sigrist was unlucky not to score after good work on the right, before Zac Malinsky nodded in the seventh.

Horsham Sparrows Under 12 Girls faced Worthing Town in the penultimate game before their big Cup Final next week.

Worthing started brightly and things looked bad for Sparrows when Charlotte was forced off with a twisted knee. Worthing had limited chances in front of goal, but one shot sneaked in to the far post.

A reshuffle and a team talk saw an improved Sparrows performance in the second half, but the equaliser would not come.

Jolyon aims for wins in second year

Jolyon Palmer has confirmed that he will return to the Formula Two line-up in 2010 for his second year in the F1 feeder series.

Jolyon, son of 1983 F2 champion and ex-F1 driver Jonathan Palmer, graduated to Formula Two last season after finishing third in the 2008 Formula Palmer Audi Championship.

One of the youngest competitors in the 2009 F2 field, Jolyon, 19, had a testing season, which included the tragic death of his friend and fellow driver Henry Surtees.

But he performed well at Spa-Francorchamps and Brands Hatch, before scoring his first points of the season with a sixth place finish in the second race at Imola in September.

After gaining valuable experience in his first year of international single seater racing, Palmer admits he will be looking to launch himself towards the front of the field in the forthcoming campaign.

Jolyon said: “Last season was a little disappointing for me until towards the end of the year when I scored my first points. I was also quick during winter testing and hopefully I can carry this momentum into my second F2 campaign.

“The testing in Portimão in December was particularly competitive and I went really well there, so this is hopefully a good sign that I can run at the front and get my first win in F2 this season.

“I am used to the one team environment having been in FPA previously and then in F2, and I really feel I can get the best out of it. I will start the season on a race by race basis to see where I stand compared to the other drivers, but I really feel that I have the potential to be a contender and if things go my w a y , maybe e v e n win the title.”

Sean Parsons won the White route trials, the hardest of the day’s courses. All pics by Steve Hook of Horsham Riders Sean Parsons powers his way to victory in the Horsham Riders Club latest trials event at Northlands near Rusper earlier this month.

Trials is a skill sport where riders have to negotiate tricky courses, and are penalised if their feet touches the ground points.

The rider with the least amount of penalty points after riding four laps of 10 sections wins.

There are three routes through the sections; White (expert) Blue (intermediate) and Yellow (beginners and over 50s) At the most recent meeting, the condition of the muddy ditches and slippery banks that make up the course deteriorated during the course of the day, but Horsham resident Parsons rode his Beta to win by a margin of 21 points on the expert hard route from Crawley’s Tony Flegg.

The scores on the blue route were even closer, with 6 marks separating the top

Green make their point

Another Comeback saw Partridge Green earn their second draw on the bounce in Division One. Green started strongly against Hunston, and after only two minutes found themselves 1-0 up after Dan Jones smashed a 25 yard free kick past the helpless keeper.

This seemed to wake Hunston up and they piled on the pressure. It wasn't long before they equalised and then added a second before the half ended.

The second half was much better from Green, who dominated from the start. Keith Miller was denied by the woodwork, and the Hunston keeper made a great save from a deflected shot.

It didn't look like Green’s day, until Ben Whales’ perfect control on the edge of the 18 yard box allowed him to volley home the equaliser.

Green came close to a winner in the later stages when Man of the match Dan Jones sweetly struck shot was well saved again.

Horsham Juventus’ run in the Trophyman Cup came to an end as they lost 6-2 in there quarter final clash with PBS & Marquis.

Playing in their fourth cup of the season Juve started off strongly and made the early running against a strong Worthing side and took the lead when a Ben Bissett free kick was headed in by Mark Burchell.

But Juve switched off and from the restart Marquis went straight down the other in to score an equaliser. Juve defended well and it was 1-1 at half time.

Marquis started the second half sharper and took an early lead and they dominated early on in the second half to go 3-1 up after poor work from the Juve midfield.

Juve did finally wake up with Josh Archer winning a penalty, which Bissett stepped up to place into the net. Juve had chances to level the game but Holvey, Aston and Archer were guilty of squandering chances.

A quick counter attack put Marquis 42 ahead and the visitors added to more goals to heap the misery on the home side. The only pluses for Juve was good performances from man of the match Arron Mackay and Jamie Maddox.

Horsham picked up a point at Maidstone United on Tuesday night thanks to Pat Harding’s strike (Picture: John Lines)

Maggs extends role as Hornets coach It’s been another difficult week for Horsham on the field, but off it the club has announced that manager John Maggs is to stay on as manager for at least another season.

In what is turning into a horrid month for the Hornets (not helped it must be said by a horrible fixture list - 11 matches in 15 days is just madness) there were two defeats and a draw for Horsham.

Pat Harding's 17th goal of the season at least secured a point at a foggy Homelands stadium on Tuesday night, bringing an end to the Hornets' 4 match losing run.

Horsham were second best for much of the first half as they struggled in the absence of Ben Andrews, Mark Knee and Alex Haddow, and had Josh Pelling to thank for keeping the game scoreless at the break.

Maidstone United debutant Adrian Stone put the hosts ahead with a disputed goal, 7 minutes in to the second half, but Horsham showed commendable spirit and got their rewards for an improved display when Harding lashed home the equaliser from 20 yards.

The striker might have claimed all 3 points at the death but he sliced wide from close range as both sides settled for a less than satisfactory draw.

On Saturday, Horsham suffered their 8th away defeat of the season, and their 4th successive 2-1 defeat.

Mark Knee's first half goal gave hint of a first point on the road since

19th January but Rikki Burbridge's first goal back in Hornchurch colours proved pivotal for the Urchins who moved level on points with the Hornets after this victory.

And Ian Payne's long wait for a Horsham goal was finally ended last Thursday night (11th March) but so was Horsham’s interest in the Brighton Charity Cup as a makeshift Hornets side went down 3-2 at County League leaders Chichester City.

The veteran defender ended a barren run of 116 appearances without a goal by scoring from the penalty spot, after Tony Nwachukwu's initial effort was ordered to be retaken, to give the Hornets a 2-1 advantage after Robert Kasanga had earlier cancelled out James Archer's 9th minute opener for the hosts.

Jack James levelled the tie up, just before half-time, but there was no further scoring until Ben Vassallo claimed the winning goal in extratime.

Horsham can have few complaints, and arguably few concerns, about this result after Chichester dominated much of the proceedings, hitting the crossbar twice and having a seemingly good goal disallowed.

So to better news for the club. The Board of Horsham Football Club have announced that Manager John Maggs has agreed to continue for at least another season in charge.

John’s current contract will ex-

pire in July and there has been speculation as to whether or not he may decide to retire. Happily, John insists he maintains his youthful enthusiasm and will relish the opportunity to continue in the role he has held for the past ten years.

John said ‘I do realise the challenge ahead and until we finally move into a new home of our own, the main object will be to maintain our present level of football in the Ryman Premier League.

Having said that, I will always try to produce a team which will compete and win football matches and be successful in both the league and cup competitions. Personally, I feel I am fit enough and have the passion and enthusiasm to give the Club further successes.’

Club CEO and Secretary John Lines commented: ‘John has been a magnificent servant to Horsham Football Club for the past ten years, taking the Club to the highest level in the Football Pyramid in its history and who can forget the incredible achievement of the FA Cup run just two seasons ago.

The Club and the Town itself has benefited enormously from John’s Management expertise and the Board is absolutely delighted he has agreed to continue into 2010-11.

The Club is anticipating exciting times ahead and an addi-

tional part of John’s role next season will be to add his wealth of experience to our Youth Teams set-up. It is a vital part of our future planning as an FA Charter Standard Club to encourage and develop an expanding programme of Youth Football in the Community.

We all feel that John can bring a new dimension to facilitate the expansion of Youth football at Horsham FC particularly with his organisational and coaching skills.

He added: “Our supporters will be delighted with this news and I know they will show their appreciation when it comes to John’s Testimonial in the early part of next Season.”

Steve Critchley scored a hat-trick to ensure Faygate Reserves progress from Division 5 North

Hair to the throne!

The Big Match Division 5 North: Faygate Reserves v Billingshurst 3rds Champagne flowed at Faygate on Saturday as their Reserves gained promotion from Div 5 North with a gritty 3-2 win over Billingshurst 3rds.

And they owed it all to a vintage performance from the enigmatic Steve Critchley who bagged his first ever career hat-trick to steal the game, and the match ball, from their nearest rivals.

Coming from behind twice before pinching the game with 5 minutes to go, Faygate showed the fighting spirit that they will need as they look to ply their trade at a higher standard next season.

But, it could have all been so different for the home team as

Hurst ran into an early lead with barely a minute on the clock.

Nathan Stepney headed in the opener for the visitors, attacking an inviting dead ball cross from Mark Flemming on the left side of the box, his delicate glance leaving Matt Candfield with no chance as it nestled in the right corner.

Faygate struggled to get their passing going as Hurst dictated a swift tempo, but, the home side levelled with their first clear cut chance.

A long throw from Lee Johnston was flicked on at the near post, straight into the path of Steve Critchley, who was perfectly placed to volley in the leveller from 6 yards.

The away side offered more throughout the first half with purposeful passing and good use of the flanks, and when Craig Marshall latched on to a magical through ball from midfield, he showed the composure needed to pirouette around the keeper and slot into an empty net to give Hurst a deserved 2-1 lead going into the break.

Faygate began the second half with a steely determination to get on top of their rivals and win back the midfield battle.

Passing vastly superior to the first half, Faygate dominated field position as Hurst sat back on their slender lead.

And the away team were made to pay when a quick switch from right to left gave man of the match, Critchley, all the time in the world to fire in a rapier strike, 18 yards out, which flew past Hurst keeper, Matt Gavaghan, before he knew anything about it.

A ruffled Hurst looked to get back into the game with good chances from Mark Flemming and Sam Redfern, but the day belonged to Critchley, and it was no surprise when a mop of unkempt hair soared highest from a late corner to dispatch a bullet header and win the game for his Faygate compatriots.

Billingshurst, with points already on the board, still look good for promotion, but they have a nervy wait to see whether the teams with games in hand, Rudgwick 2nds and Holbrook 3rds, can catch them.

Their manager, Ivica Stojanac, was cautious when forecasting: ‘we should have put the game to bed in the first half. Now we have to wait for other results to go our way’.

Speaking after the game, the Champagne, (probably Cava), drenched Faygate No. 9 modestly admitted: ‘Yeah, that was a good time to get my first hattrick’.

A man of very few words, hat-trick hero, Steve Critchley, likes to let his football do the talking.
