Young champions and potential Olympians have been given a huge boost by a new scheme recognising their talent.

Eight sportspeople aged between 13 and 17 received Set4Success financial awards from Karen Pickering MBE, the multiple gold medallist swimmer, at The Capitol this week.

Seven of the eight live in Horsham district and attend school or college here – volleyball player Elliott Allison, 17, rugby union player Chris Bond, 16, athlete Jade Brewster, 14, baseball ace Jared Cox, 13, badminton player David King, 13, cyclist

you proud ‘toItbemakes selected for this

’

Led by the Rotary Club of Horsham in partnership with local schools, the scheme is supported by Horsham District Council, DC Leisure, SportsAid and local sports organisations and businesses, so far

including AToM, Ringway Ltd, Sony-DADC, Southern Water, Spofforths, Treetop Design and Print, and Wakefields Jewellers.

The eight award winners would be well advised to listen to Pickering, who has a haul of eight World Championship medals (four gold), 14 European Championship medals, 13 Commonwealth Games medals (four gold) and 38 National Championship titles.

She told The Resident: “It’s a massive boost for them and their parents to understand how much they are appreciated and how many people are trying to make sure they’re the best they can be.

“And it’s going to be a boost for their parents in terms of the money they’ve been shelling out for travelling, equipment and so on.

News

The Resident backs race ace in his drive for the top Matthew James News Editor

matthew@the-resident.co.uk

The Resident is backing young motor racing star Kieran Vernon as he aims for the top.

The 21-year-old from West Chiltington won at Brands Hatch in a car which features the logos of this newspaper and West Chiltington Golf Club.

Matthew Wheeler, managing director of HD Publishing, said: “The Resident is backing Kieran because we recognise he is an exceptionally bright local talent and we realise motor racing is an expensive sport.”

But the former Steyning Grammar School pupil needs further help to continue his impressive progress in

the Formula Renault BARC series and in the Porsche Carrera Cup. He said: “The budget is quite tight and I haven’t got enough money to go testing between races, so I really have to up my game to make sure I’m on the pace.”

Vernon, who started from pole position, finished just over a second clear of Fortec Motorsport teammate Josh Webster (Stowmarket) with Fortec’s Archie Hamilton (Hook) third.

He also recorded a new lap record, averaging almost 96mph on the 1.2mile Brands Hatch Indy Circuit. Last year he won twice in Formula Palmer Audi at Brands and set a lap record on the full GP circuit.

There was a shock for Vernon when he led the pack around Clark

Curve at the end of the first lap on Sunday – only to find marshals in the middle of the track, trying to move two cars from the grid.

He told our website, www.theresident.co.uk, at the Kent circuit: “All we got was yellow flags, no safety car or red flags. You assume it’s a car being pushed away to the side, not cars with marshals in the middle of the track.

“To come round and see that at over 100mph is a big shock. It was quite a hairy incident.”

The race was restarted, meaning Vernon had to repeat his start from pole to fend off Webster’s challenge.

He added: “You’ve just got to keep calm and get another good start, but the Fortec guys are bang on the money so it’s quite hard to pull a gap.”

Vernon escaped almost unhurt from a high-speed crash in his second race of the day.

He was fourth when his car’s throttle cable sleeve jammed going into Graham Hill Bend on lap 11 of 20, leaving him helpless as the throttle stayed open and the car careered into a tyre wall.

To the relief of all concerned, he suffered nothing more serious than a bruised left knee – and a blow to his

title hopes.

He said: “I went into Graham Hill but just couldn’t stop and the car went straight on into the barrier. The throttle stuck. I will have to look at the data to see what speed it was, but it did hurt.

“It’s a shock to end the day like that, but we will come back at Oulton Park and will be quick again.”

Vernon, who also attended West Chiltington Primary School and Rydon Community College, Storrington, said: “I would like to be a professional racing driver one day. I’d like to race in Formula 1, Le Mans and the Indy Car Series in America.

“Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen raced in Formula Renault, so it does provide some decent drivers.”

His ambition is supported by the British Racing Drivers Club, which has made him one of its Rising Stars in the last three years.

Formula 1 ace Hamilton and Indy star Dan Wheldon were previously recognised in the same way.

News in Brief NW Sussex Seagulls Fans of Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club have set up a new supporters group in the Horsham area, North West Sussex Seagulls.

The League 1 Champions are set to move into their spectacular new home, the American Express Community Stadium at Falmer, in the Summer.

North West Sussex Seagulls, a nonprofit organisation, will run coaches to home matches with convenient pick-up points en-route to The Amex.

Richard Hebberd, operations manager at The Amex, will meet fans and answer questions about the ground at The Star Inn, Roffey, on Tuesday, May 31 (7.30pm). All Albion fans are welcome and entrance is free.

The new group plans to hold regular meetings and events, including get-togethers with other fans groups, barbecues and bowling nights.

A thriving Albion supporters group in the Horsham area ran coaches to the Goldstone Ground, Hove, but interest dwindled when the club’s old board sold the ground in the 1990s and arranged a groundshare at Gillingham.

For more information, see www.northwestsussexseagulls. co.uk or email Andy Stonestreet or Paul Chandler at info@northwestsussexseagulls.co.uk

Continued from Page 1 “There will be ups and downs and it’s a question of planning to deal with these. So far things may have been easier, but sport would be very dull if it was always about the favourite winning.”

Tanbridge House pupil Brewster, from Broadbridge Heath, won the Sussex U15 pole vault at the weekend

Jared Cox

with the best performance in her age group by any UK athlete this year (see Page 54).

She said: “This award is really good and will help me with accommodation and travelling. I compete most weekends and some of the competitions are quite far away.

“It’s good because it makes you feel like someone is noticing what you’re doing.”

Morter, who lives in Horsham and attends The Forest School, said: “It makes you proud to be selected for this. I want to win abroad and get selected for Great Britain.”

The scheme’s first fund will support young sportspeople in the district who have been recognised by their sport’s governing body but are not yet at the level where they are financed by Lottery funding.

The aim is to provide them with £1,000 per year through SportsAid, a charity which will identify young people who qualify for support and live in the district.

A second fund will be created to provide financial support to young children who are recognised as excelling in their chosen sport but who may otherwise give up due to a lack of money.

John Le Rossignol, from the Rotary Club of Horsham, said: “Reaching the top in sport is very expensive. A lot of children just drop out if they don’t get the financial support.”

Schools, businesses, sports clubs, social clubs and other bodies across the district will be encouraged to organise simple fundraising activities, such as dress-down days and collections.

Organisers are stressing their community approach and say no single organisation will be expected to contribute excessive time or money.

Once a year, a major event will be arranged to raise funds and enhance the profile of the scheme, encourage public participation in sport, raise awareness of sports facilities and clubs in the district, promote health and wellbeing, and support the local economy.

In conjunction with SportsAid, Set4Success beneficiaries will be expected to visit donors and talk about their sport, motivation, success and goals, helping motivate other youngsters to take part in sports.

SportsAid can arrange for highprofile sports personalities to attend fund-related community events.

There is a charge for this, which is taken from the fund, but it is much less than would normally be expected.

School improvements West Sussex County Council has allocated £9.5 million for building projects and maintenance schemes at schools.

These include The Forest School (boiler room), Greenway Primary (boiler room), Heron Way Primary (cladding), Holy Trinity, Lower Beeding (cladding), Queen Elizabeth II Special School (unknown), Rydon Community College, Storrington (fenestration and wall tie failure), Storrington First (unknown), Thakeham First, Upper Beeding (cladding and structural repairs) and The Weald (boiler room).

New classrooms will be built at St Mary’s Primary, Pulborough.

Meeting about homes

Southwater Parish Council is to hold an extraordinary meeting to discuss the potential building of 575 homes west of the Worthing Road.

Members of the public will be able to speak for up to three minutes each, to a maximum public speaking time of 30 minutes, during the meeting at Southwater Leisure Centre on Wednesday, June 1 (7pm).

News in Brief Historic day for LGBT The multi-coloured Rainbow Flag, international symbol of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community, was flown by West Sussex County Council at County Hall for the first time.

Tuesday was International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia, the 21st anniversary of the World Health Organisation’s decision to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.

Cllr Louise Goldsmith, leader of the county council, said: “This was a historic step towards considering freedom of sexual orientation and gender identity as a fundamental basic human right.

“Flying the Rainbow Flag at County Hall is a highly visible demonstration of our continuing commitment to developing LGBT initiatives, tackling discrimination in the community and to eradicating homophobia and homophobic crime.

“We are also determined to tackle discrimination within the workplace and in those organisations that deliver services on our behalf.”

Fun at hospital fete Slinfold Concert Band will play from 2pm to 4pm tomorrow (Saturday) at Horsham Hospital’s Summer fete, in the grounds of the hospital.

Other attractions include Tony the Magician, traction engine rides, a fairground organ, children’s rides, Ken Harvey at the keyboard, the Horsham rescue services and more than 25 colourful stalls.

Horsham MP Francis Maude will open the fete and meet health service volunteers.

All proceeds will go towards hospital projects.

Guide Dogs appeal Guide Dogs need more volunteers in Horsham, in particular a treasurer and an organiser.

Pippa Block, regional volunteering adviser, said: “Volunteering is fun and rewarding. You know you are helping to make a real difference to the lives of blind and partially sighted people.”

Making a Difference

Paul and Tara praised

‘Help put a smile on my son’s face’ A mother is asking our readers to help fund a trip to Euro Disney, Paris, for her severely disabled son.

The woman from Horsham, who asked to remain anonymous for reasons The Resident understands, said: “He celebrated his 18th birthday this year. We’d like to surprise him with a trip to Euro Disney with his sister, who is also a carer.

“I have been given some money from the family fund, but it isn’t enough to cover two rooms and two carers.

“One of the carers is male so he can’t stay in the same room with us.

He has to come as he knows my son so well – they are inseparable.

“He has been so good to my son and I would like him to be there to share this special time, to say thank you for all he has done.

“Sadly I am not in a position financially to make up the difference.

It would mean a great deal for us to be together as a family for a few days and to see my son and his sister being able to enjoy themselves.”

The woman applied to the Rotary Club of Horsham for help from its Making a Difference fund.

Club member Dave Smith, who

also works for The Resident, said: “We have an allocation of £1,000 per month for Making a Difference.

“We’ve always maintained we would need help from other businesses to be able to process all the worthwhile applications we receive.

“This application exceeds our £1,000 a month budget so we would be pleased to hear from anyone who can help us achieve it. They can contact us via www.horshamrotary.org. uk or dave@the-resident.co.uk” Club member John Le Rossignol

‘

It would mean a great deal to see my son and his sister being able to enjoy themselves

’

said: “The Rotary Club of Horsham has received 30 applications for help from a wide variety of individuals and organisations.

“We have fulfilled 13 of the requests, rejected three mainly because the sums requested were far too large for our fund, and are progressing with the remaining 14.

“These include helping two families who have unfortunately encountered some problems in these tough times, by providing school clothing for children and items of furniture and other household goods.

“We have raised funding by running quizzes for two local charities who need money to continue to provide vital services to help special needs children and stroke victims.

“We have so far spent almost £2,000 on the scheme and will continue to add £1,000 to the fund each month.

“We also raised an extra £250 for the scheme by helping children make Venetian masks during Piazza Italia. We are raising about £100 each month from quizzes that we run at the Dun Horse Pub in Mannings Heath every other Monday evening.

“We delivered a large-screen television to a local retirement home so that the 26 residents could watch the Royal Wedding together and share the pleasure of the day – and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

“It is incredible how sometimes such small actions can bring much pleasure to many. We have also helped a number of small organisations with much-needed office

equipment and small donations to ‘make a difference’ to their clients.

“If you know of individuals who could really benefit from a little help, please let us know by visiting our website www.horshamrotary.org.uk and sending us details.

“If you would like to make a donation to the scheme, our website will tell you what to do. Or you can contact Dave Smith at dave@theresident.co.uk “Thanks to everyone who has given us requests and helped us to fulfil them. Together we really can make a difference.”

Local children have helped 4SIGHT celebrate its 90th year of supporting blind and partially sighted people in West Sussex.

Paul Crabb, nine, and sister Tara, eight, put their best foot forward to fundraise for the charity through a sponsored run and blindfolded walk.

They also held a collection at St Mark’s Church in Horsham, and 2nd Chennells Brook Brownies played a fundraising game, bringing their fundraising total to £130.

Lisa Foard, fundraising and events co-ordinator for 4SIGHT, said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to Paul and Tara and everyone who supported them.”

Club’s plans for ground and houses Matthew James News Editor

matthew@the-resident.co.uk

RSA is considering a proposal by Horsham Football Club that could help ease the club’s planned move to a new ground.

The Hornets plan to finally replace their former Queen Street home after a year of ground-sharing at Worthing and two years so far at Gorings Mead, home of Horsham YMCA. Club chief executive John Lines said: “I know the board have been criticised in some quarters for the lack of information relating to our proposed new ground, but it must be understood confidentiality agreements in our discussions have had to be observed.

“We have reached an agreement

in principle for the purchase of a suitable plot of land to the south of Horsham which at this stage looks suitable for our new football ground and necessary training facilities.

“We cannot give specific details revealing the location at this point.

However, the club believes it has finally agreed the framework for a deal which should meet the club’s needs and satisfy local planning criteria.

“It has not simply been a case of buying a plot and building our ground. This has been a complex and multi-faceted challenge, fully intended to satisfy the interests of numerous stakeholders.

“To provide the funding for the completion of the new ground we have been in consultation with Horsham District Council (HDC) over the redevelopment of a section of the Holbrook land to provide a number

of new homes.

“HDC’s planning officers have provided advice about the issues to be addressed in a planning application for the housing scheme and the new ground. Whilst there is still much work to do, there is a will and a desire by all concerned now to achieve the Win, Win, Win goal.

“A core part of this twin site proposal is a viable plan for the longterm continuation of the Holbrook Club, something they have been without since Horsham FC purchased the North Heath Lane site from RSA in 2007.

“We have offered the Holbrook Club a lease in excess of 21 years for the balance of the site, which would give them secure tenure and should enable improvements to be carried out with the aid of grants available to them, and this in turn will see the

Holbrook Club thrive.

“Senior members and officers of the council have supported our efforts to find a new home since the failure of the application to relocate to Holbrook. Whilst the project is still subject to planning, the prospects are very encouraging.”

Win, Win, Win may ‘well at long last be within our grasp ’

Chairman Kevin Borrett said: “One hurdle which needs to be overcome is in the gift of RSA. Our contract for the purchase of the Holbrook Club allows RSA to take 50 per cent of any profit achieved from the disposal of the Holbrook Club within five years of our purchase.

“If any amount had to be paid to the RSA then we could not afford to build the new ground and sustain the offer made to the Holbrook Club, rendering the scheme unviable.

“We have therefore made a request to RSA to waive this requirement, recognising the benefit this would be to many current and former employees.

“Should they not agree, then we will have to wait until March next year before any formal agreements are signed. This will not necessarily delay the planning applications, but could have an impact upon overall timing and would incur additional costs.

“Getting to our new ground, which we hope will be a flagship facility for the Horsham district, is absolute

priority, but not at the expense of patience and prudence.

“This really is the time for our incredible supporters, those actively involved with all the club youth and senior teams, who give their time voluntarily, and the town and surrounding villages with club ties, to get behind us and push on to a new and bright future.”

A spokesman for RSA told The Resident: “We have been an active member of the Horsham local community for a long time with many employees, former employees, policy holders and a significant part of our business proudly located there.

“The request to RSA from Horsham Football Club was received very recently. We will closely examine the club’s proposal to understand the full implications and will respond to them in good time.”

Jim Rae, of Beaver Close, Holbrook, has given his personal opinion on the club’s statement – stressing he was not speaking in his new role as a district councillor or on behalf of any other organisation.

He told The Resident: “I have been a dedicated and I hope effective campaigner for Holbrook’s environment (along with many others) for well over a decade.

“It seems that Win, Win, Win may well at long last be within our grasp.

There are still challenges to be faced before the Hornets can achieve their new and sustainable home, but I am sure that with the goodwill of all parties those challenges will be overcome.

“I cannot and will not comment on any aspect of any possible future planning application. Doing so would disqualify me from commenting at a later date.

“However, I can say as a private individual that I truly wish all parties every success. After all, what we all want to achieve is the desired goal – that being a resounding Win, Win, Win.”

Town’s housing growth “I can remember when that was just fields” is a common observation of the older generation.

And nothing could illustrate more clearly the rapid housing growth in Horsham’s outer landscape than the contrasting photographs featured in The Resident (May 13).

The pastoral scene shown in the 1951 photograph was taken in Comptons Lane, approaching the junction with Depot Road (left) and – barely visible behind a large tree – Hampers Lane.

Before the substantial housing development in this area during the 1960s, one could wander straight into St Leonard’s Forest at the very beginning of what is now Hampers Lane – then known locally as Sandy Lane.

For those who lived in this part of the town, behind the railway station, the countryside was on their doorstep as the stretch of Depot Road from Orchard Road onwards was little more than a narrow rural lane leading towards the forest.

The tree-lined corner (left) today marks the boundary of Millais School playing fields. The school was just a pipe-dream in 1951 and during its early days was simply known as Forest Girls.

Behind the 1951 photographer, towards St Leonards Road, was a duck pond at the corner of what is now Heron Way – now alas no more as the whole area has been developed and, dare I say, suburbanised.

Justice for the poor Christian Aid Week is just drawing to a close. Readers will have taken the opportunity to give to such a good cause in the hope that aid will help people in the poorer parts of the world.

The soaring price of food will have heightened awareness of this need.

Readers may have become aware of the harmful effects of those – notably bankers – who damage the markets, driving up prices by their speculations.

This is a current concern of another organisation, the World Development Movement (WDM), whose strapline is: Justice for the world’s poor.

Is your bus facing the chop?

Matthew James News Editor

matthew@the-resident.co.uk

More than 60 bus services are likely to be removed or reduced this year as West Sussex County Council cuts subsidies.

The council announced in February that it would be reducing the subsidy it gives to bus companies in West Sussex by £2 million, leaving a budget

of £2.7 million per year.

The savings, which will be phased over three years, are part of the council’s plan to reduce its overall spending by £79 million.

Now we can reveal the full extent of the first cuts, planned for September this year. Sunday and evening services will be affected most, but passengers may also see a reduction in the frequency of services on some routes during weekdays.

A small number of routes used by

school children who are not eligible for free transport are also included in the proposals.

Cllr Lionel Barnard, deputy leader of the county council, said: “We very much regret having to reduce these subsidies.

“We are working with the bus companies to look at all possible alternatives. In some cases it might be possible for services to continue running with a fare increase, or a reduced number of buses if the bus operators

“We are also keen to work with local residents and community transport schemes to look at alternative ways for people to make their journeys.”

Recommendations on which subsidies to reduce from September 1 have been made by a cross-party group of councillors.

Residents have until June 10 to comment. Call 01243 642105, email buses@westsussex.gov.uk or write to

But Cllr David Holmes, Liberal Democrat district councillor for Horsham Park, said: “We would be horrified if they were to scrap the 65 service. It’s of great value to the people in that part of Horsham.”

Smash victim’s amazing recovery A Horsham father will run a half marathon this weekend, raising vital funds for the Sussex Air Ambulance whose medical experts saved his life.

Neil Akers, 36, suffered brain damage, a collapsed lung, fractured arm, a ruptured knee and two broken ribs in a motorbike accident two years ago.

He had to be anaesthetised, ventilated and intubated due to the severity of his injuries and it took the helicopter just 45 minutes to get to the scene and fly him to the Royal London Hospital.

I said yes to help my prognosis in getting my leg back to how it was before my accident.

Mr Akers will complete a remarkable recovery when he puts his best foot forward for the life-saving charity at the Edinburgh Half Marathon on Sunday.

He will run in a relay team including his neuro physiotherapist Nikki Penny, uncle and aunt Terry and Jo Akers, and case manager John Ainscough.

He said: “I’m confident I can do it and I can’t wait. I’m excited but also a little bit nervous after all the training.

“It was Nikki who asked me a year ago if I wanted to do the Haggis Run.

Sussex Air Ambulance ‘saved my life ’ “I want to run for Sussex Air Ambulance because they saved my life and I want to raise enough money to help other people who need to be saved.

“I didn’t realise exactly what they did until I was airlifted. It’s all about

timing and the skills sets that they bring to the scene.”

Mr Akers, of Heath Way, Horsham, was riding with friends in April 2009 when he collided with a turning van at Devil’s Dyke, near Brighton.

The father-of-one was in a coma for eight days and spent two-and-ahalf months in hospital before he was eventually allowed home.

Sussex Air Ambulance flies with a specialist doctor and critical care paramedic who can carry out

advanced medical procedures at the scene, giving patients the best chance and quality of survival.

Mr Akers has signed up as a volunteer for the charity which relies almost entirely on public donations.

He has previously run two London Marathons and four half marathons and has so far raised £2,200 of his target £4,000 for the Edinburgh Half Marathon.

Together with Horsham District Council’s flock of Hebridean sheep, the animals have been grazing the grassland to keep down weeds and

The 90-acre paradise of wild grassland and ancient hedgerow is also steeped in history, having been a farm since before 1086. It was home to two of Henry VIII’s wives – Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard.

Dame Vera attends campaign launch Matthew James News Editor

matthew@the-resident.co.uk

Tanbridge House School, in conjunction with PMW Communications in Horsham, has launched a new project designed to raise £100,000 a year for local charities.

Businesses in and around the town will work together in the Horsham 100 project, helping raise vital funds each year for a chosen charity.

The Dame Vera Lynn Trust for Children with Cerebral Palsy has been selected by the school this year.

The launch at the school was attended by businesses, including Barclays and Wabi, who were keen to learn more about the project.

No one taking part has to hand over any money from their business.

Instead, they must come up with creative and inventive challenges for their employees to undertake in return for sponsorship by friends, family and the local community.

Dame Vera was guest of honour at

The Swingtime Sweethearts perform

the launch and attendees were treated to a performance by The Swingtime Sweethearts.

Jules White, head teacher of Tanbridge House School, said: “We were really pleased with how the launch went. There were a number of key local businesses present which was invaluable as we were able to instil in people just how valuable this cause is.”

Peter Sutton, managing director of PMW Communications and co-founder of Horsham 100, said: “It was great to see our idea finally unfold.

“Everyone seemed keen to get involved and the community was most definitely getting together, which is what will be the making of this campaign.”

Sainsbury’s, Foundry Press, Slinfold and Cranleigh Golf and Country Clubs, Horsham Karate, Swan Walk and The Printed Word have already signed up.

Representatives of Tanbridge House School and PMW Communications will walk 16 miles and 100km respectively.

Opening event for game developer A Horsham-based company that created a series of globally popular computer games is celebrating expansion with the opening of new office space James Hood Business Editor

james@the-resident.co.uk

The Minister for Communication, Culture and the Creative Industries, Ed Vaizey, has visited Horsham business The Creative Assembly to open its brand new 10,000 square foot office and studio.

Founded in 1987, The Creative Assembly, on Albion Way, is one of the UK’s premier videogame developers and is creator of the multi awardwinning Total War Strategy series.

Ed Vaizey visits the new office space

Central Donation Station for Cancer Research opens Swan Walk Shopping Centre in Horsham will be hosting its 2011 Cancer Research UK Donation Station event until Sunday, May 29.

The station allows customers to collect a bag, take it home and fill it with items they no longer want and then bring it back to the same place.

Cancer Research UK is happy to receive good quality clothes, shoes, accessories, books, homewares, DVD’s and CD’s. The charity and shopping centre believe it is an ideal opportunity to have a clear out at home, and even make way for some new

Summer purchases.

All donations will be used in the first instance to stock the two Cancer Research UK stores in Horsham’s East Street and West Street, making it a town centre, community event.

Swan Walk centre manager, Gill Buchanan, said: “Swan Walk’s loyal customers have raised over £60,000 for Cancer Research UK over recent years. So please take the time to check out your wardrobes, cupboards and shelves to help us to make this year just as successful. We are aiming to add another £10,000 in 2011.”

Vote for the star of Sainsbury’s Customers can nominate employees they think provide a high level of service Throughout May, customers at Horsham’s Sainsbury’s store are being invited to nominate the Sainsbury’s staff member who has delivered great customer service, above and beyond their expectations.

Every employee that gets nominated will have the chance to be recognised for their contribution to excellent customer service at the retailer’s annual awards in September. The scheme forms part of the Sainsbury’s Star awards, which was launched in 2007.

In the ‘Customer’s Colleague of the Year’ award, shoppers can nominate a member of staff who has provided exceptional service in the store.

Customers can nominate a Sainsbury’s employee by picking up a form at the store’s customer service desk, situated at the front of the store, by emailing yourstar@sainsburys.co.uk

or visiting www.sainsburys.co.uk.

Voting closes on June 3.

The Sainsbury’s Star awards recognise colleagues who make an outstanding contribution to the business. There are 13 categories this year.

Last year, over 9,000 votes were received nationwide - 5,000 votes more than the previous year. Nominations are coming in across the country with over 2,000 nominations having already been received for this year’s awards.

The final takes place at Birmingham NEC on Wednesday, September 14 and will be watched by 4,500 Sainsbury’s colleagues from across the UK. Store manager, Ian Maxey, said: “The Sainsbury’s Star ‘Colleague Of The Year’ award gives Horsham customers the opportunity to tell us if a colleague has gone above and beyond

their job role to help give them a memorable shopping experience.

There’s still plenty of time to nominate, and the form only takes a couple of minutes to fill out. We hope voting proves popular with our customers in these last few weeks”.

The company has received numerous national press, industry and consumer accolades, including BAFTA wins, Ivor Novello nominations (composer Richard Beddow will find out if he has won this week) and the Develop Industry Excellence Awards.

The organisation employs 160 highly experienced and creative industry professionals and the new studio space marks the growth of the business as it embarks of new games console projects.

Speaking about Creative Assembly’s new office space, Ed Vaizey said: “Very close to where we are standing

there are geniuses at work developing a game based on 20th Century Fox’s Alien. The graphics are amazing, the concept is amazing”.

The new, modern office and studio space will make room for the company’s console team, which will be working on Total War games for PC as well as a new game based on the Alien franchise.

Ed Vaizey added: “If you’re one of the top developers in the country come and work here, on a game to take the world by storm.”

Business

Recipe for success Having foresight and a well planned product range have helped a local mum expand her business, despite the economic downturn A Horsham based cake maker has survived the recession by applying a tried and tested product extension strategy to her own small business.

Five years ago, Sharon Walker had her first child and decided to work from home, turning her hobby of making and decorating cakes for any occasion into a business venture.

“I had always loved decorating cakes and seem to have the knack for the intricate details and making the flowers. So I thought, why not do it from home full-time?” Sharon said.

When her friend bought her the domain name for her own website as a birthday present, Cakes by Sharon Walker was born.

Despite taking a risk by leaving her job with a mortgage to pay, Sharon was confident in her abilities and decided to make the leap after getting

nine orders from attending one wedding fair. “I was really apprehensive at first. It was scary. But I got such a good response to the work I did and then the orders just kept coming through word of mouth – so there was no going back.” Sharon told The Resident.

She believes that setting up a business is no easy task but one that has allowed her to be at home for her son, who is now five years old. She said: “I work 12 hours a day frequently and I work a lot of weekends so there are times when you sacrifice days out or quality family time. But on the other hand, I get to be home when my son gets in from school. And when he goes to bed – I get straight back to work!”

The first couple of years were hugely successful for Sharon. But when the cake making industry, and

the economy, took a turn in another direction, Sharon knew she needed to make changes to survive as a business.

“I was getting fewer orders for wedding cakes, because there were just not as many people getting married, partly due to the tradition being less popular and partly due to the recession. So I knew I needed to plan ahead.”

It is the kind of foresight used by larger companies that helps them survive economic downturns and other environmental changes. Sharon decided that to maintain a thriving business she would need to expand the products and services she offered.

Sharon told The Resident: “When I got fewer orders for wedding cakes, I decided to branch out into making wedding favours, as well as chocolate products, including a chocolate pizza,

and mini Christmas cakes.”

One of Sharon’s most significant changes to her business has been ‘Cupcake Friday’, which she started in January – a notoriously slow month for business. “I knew that lots of people would like cakes and treats on a Friday in their office. So I went around the area I live where people work and offered them my Cupcake Friday service. I deliver to them every fortnight – and people love the idea!”

The entrepreneur believes that there are lessons you can take from any successful business and apply them to your own. “If you find yourself going through tougher times, you just need to make sure you are supplying what people want. It’s all about being adaptable and having a diverse range of products and services”. She added.

Expansion for driving instructor committed to safety It was after attending a number of road accidents involving new and inexperienced drivers that firefighter Steve Lintott decided to set up a ‘safe’ driving school.

Stay Safe was established in 2008 and has since grown from a one-car business to a franchise covering areas around Billingshurst, Crawley, Horley, Storrington and Worthing.

Steve said: “A large percentage of car crashes I attend involve 17-25 year olds. The saddest part is that most of them could have been avoided if the drivers had been taught the correct skills from the start.

“Sadly, the aim of many driving schools is to pass the test as quickly as possible, regardless of their student’s knowledge or experience.

fast fresh hot spicy zestful colour rich sensational cool bright charming savoury relaxing sophisticated

Take away Menu 12 Lintot Square • Fairbank Road Southwater • West Sussex • RH13 9LA OPENING HOURS 12pm - 2pm all week 5.30pm - 11pm Sunday to Thursday 5.30pm - 12am Friday & Saturday Telephone : 01403 731461 or 738236

10% Discount of takeaways (orders over £10) Free bottle of wine on takeaway orders over £50

Traditional driving lessons focus on vehicle maneuvering and mastery of traffic situations.

“With Stay Safe, however, we put strong emphasis on our students’ driving abilities and teach them the potential dangers of the road. This helps to identify the competencies a driver needs to reduce his or her risk of crash involvement.”

Steve’s ethos has struck a chord with many parents who want their teenagers to be as safe as possible on the roads.

The success of the company has meant significant expansion, most recently into Surrey, offering lessons in the Redhill, Reigate and Dorking area.

New franchisee and fully qualified instructor, Amanda Blatch, shares Steve’s philosophy. Amanda said: “I love driving and want my students to love it too, however it is important to ensure that every person I teach fully

understands the rules of the road and the consequences of their actions.

Being cocooned in your car and surrounded by safety features doesn’t make you invincible.”

Every Stay Safe driving instructor

is personally selected by Steve. The skills and experience of the instructors are carefully assessed and it is important to him that they have the right attitude and enthusiasm to help deliver the road safety message.

Partnership aims to reduce absenteeism due to illness at work Sussex Enterprise, Chamber of Commerce for Sussex, has formed a partnership with YourDoc Medical, to provide its members with access to health and wellbeing information online.

The initiative will aim to tackle the problem of absenteeism in the workplace due to ill health, which is a high priority for UK businesses.

Gill Edinburgh, Operations Director of Sussex Enterprise, said: “Sussex Enterprise is delighted to

welcome this new service as part of our valuable membership package.

We are urging all our members to use the YourDoc Medical service to protect their business and save money in the process.”

The scheme will provide members with a health portal online, packed with a variety of topical articles that have been reviewed by GPs, as well as an online health management and coaching system.

The service is available online 24

hours a day, seven days a week and can be subscribed to for 12 months.

Jennifer Samarasinghe, Managing Director of YourDoc Medical, added: “It is a very exciting opportunity for us to promote our preventative healthcare ethos by working with an innovative business organisation like Sussex Enterprise.

“We have wanted to assist SMEs to prevent and reduce absenteeism for a long time and this ambition is finally being realised.”

Sainsbury’s worker is a ‘Local Hero’ Horsham store’s staff member raises breast cancer cash with a little help from colleagues and customers

Breast Cancer campaigners: Lynne Phillips (left) and Ingrid Rathborne

Ingrid Rathborne, who works at Sainsbury’s Horsham branch has raised £450 for Breast Cancer Campaign.

The supermarket’s staff member organised a raffle and a cake sale to mark Wear it Pink Day, with the help of her colleague, Lynne Phillips.

Thanks to Sainsbury’s ‘matched giving’ scheme, called Local Heroes, Ingrid, was able to increase the amount donated to the charity with an additional £200.

Sainsbury’s Local Heroes scheme recognises colleagues who dedicate their spare time to local charity work, helping them support their own personal charity choices and make a

difference in the local community.

The scheme is now in its 7th year.

The supermarket has supported over 10,000 colleague applications, raising almost £750,000 in additional donations and Sainsbury’s is keen to give even more.

Store manager, Ian Maxey, said: “We are very proud to have colleagues that are so dedicated to helping these charities. Ingrid and Lynne are an inspiration to us all.”

Breast Cancer Campaign aims to beat breast cancer by funding innovative world-class research to understand how breast cancer develops, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure.

Businesses ‘need faster broadband’ A survey carried out by West Sussex County Council has shown that 10 percent of the county’s businesses feel their internet connection is fast enough for their current needs.

621 businesses took part in the survey, which was carried out earlier this year to understand business views on broadband and how it affects their work.

The county council has been lobbying BT and internet service providers to help get faster broadband in West Sussex and tackle the ‘not spots’ where people are unable to get broadband at all.

Additional results from the survey show 32 percent of businesses believe their internet connection is ‘just about acceptable’ and 80 percent of those asked said the internet is vital.

Businesses in rural areas suffer from poor broadband access in particular, with just five percent of those surveyed saying their internet is fast enough.

Cabinet Member for Environment and Economy, Deborah Urquhart, said: “The survey results show that the internet is vital for many businesses and that there is a lot to be done to ensure the network in West Sussex can meet all business needs.

“We want to help local businesses and the local economy to benefit from the opportunities a fast broadband connection can bring.”

The survey provides evidence that can be used for bids for funding, including from Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) – part of the Department for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, for investment in broadband improvements.

West Sussex County Council has submitted a bid to BDUK for funding, and is expecting to hear whether it has been successful by the end of May. A summit on broadband provision, organised by Arundel and South Downs MP Nick Herbert, together with West Sussex County Council, takes place on Friday, May 20 at County Hall, Chichester.

The survey results will be available in the next few days on the county council’s website at www.westsussex.gov.uk/broadband

Ahead of this summer’s launch of her second book, Dee Blick offers Resident readers exclusive tips on how to use a small marketing budget for a big impact.

Dee is an award-winning, Horshambased businesswoman, a Fellow of The Chartered Institute of Marketing and has 26 years’ experience in the industry.

Marketing on a Shoestring Sound Principles for Success - Part One Dee Blick www.theblickblog.co.uk

When I wrote my first book, Powerful Marketing on a Shoestring Budget for Small Businesses, I did so because I knew that after spending many years working with blue-chip companies and annual marketing budgets in excess of £1 million that the marketing tools and strategies that I followed could be applied with equal effect to small businesses on a small budget.

Marketing on a shoestring is not marketing as cheaply as possible.

Cutting costs with poor quality sales literature, for example, can damage your brand and convey the impression that you don’t care; that you don’t have two pennies to rub together!

Marketing on a shoestring is about investing time and effort into building a simple but cunningly powerful marketing plan.

From your marketing plan, a shortlist of marketing activities designed to engage new prospects and retain existing customers can be drawn up.

This also provides the opportunity to review your current marketing activities and identify areas in which savings can be made by halting activities that have not delivered.

For example, you may have been spending money advertising in a national publication and after creating your marketing plan you’ve identified that it’s costing too much to reach your audience, that it makes financial sense to promote your message in a local publication.

You may have fallen into the trap of business networking with gay abandon, forgetting that your primary purpose is to generate warm leads rather than engage in playful banter.

So, where do you start if you want to bring marketing on a shoestring into your business?

Start by auditing your marketing activities at least once a month.

What’s working, what’s not? What must you improve? How can you make savings without compromising

responses?

A regular stocktaking inventory will help you to focus on planning marketing campaigns with a realistic chance of succeeding. Secondly, acknowledge that you have to play a key part in the marketing planning process.

Don’t expect your web developer, your designer, your advertising sales person to have all the answers. Nobody loves your business as much as you; nobody is more intimately connected with it.

Collaboration is vital for positive results. Don’t distance yourself when it comes to evolving and implementing marketing activities.

Your marketing plan should be a practical document that you constantly refer to, that you adjust and that you measure your progress by.

It keeps you on track. It’s not a theoretical tome that gathers dust on your bookshelf.

Who do you want to reach and why? What will motivate them to respond and buy? What’s happening in their marketplace that could impact on your message?

Reviewing your benefits objectively - are you really satisfying deep underlying needs or have you lost touch with your target audience?

Finally, you must invest time in marketing your business. How long?

Four hours a week, minimum. Be ruthless. Isolate yourself from distractions.

This is how I have managed to build my own successful business and write two books at the same time.

Dee Blick writes for a number of publications including the Financial Mail Women’s forum.

Her first book has been in the top three ‘small business marketing books’ on Amazon.co.uk for two years. Dee is currently putting the finishing touches to her second book, titled The Ultimate Small Business Marketing Book, to be released next month.

Horsham Pub Guide

A charming village pub

THE RED LYON The Street, Slinfold, near Horsham, West Sussex RH13 0RR

01403 790339 www. theredlyon.co.uk

The Red Lyon is a traditional, family friendly country pub offering real ales and traditional and mediteranean home cooked food using fresh local produce Real ales - Fresh, locally sourced menu - Monthly live music Large, safe garden - Children’s play area - Plenty of parking

Saturday 28th May

The Tube Snake Boogie Band Friday 24th June

Simon Markham, the proud landlord of The Red Lyon in Slinfold, took over the pub in 2001 and hasn’t looked back.

Celebrating his 10th year this year, Simon continues to provide a home away from home to locals and travellers alike. In fact it’s safe to say Simon has definitely made his mark.

The 17th Century Inn, originally called the Kings Head, is said to be one of the original buildings in the village, equalling that of the replacement of Slinfold’s St Peter’s Church in 1860. The Inn is still very much well supported by the local villagers and provides comfortable accommodation for the weary traveller, just as it has done for hundreds of years.

Registered as an Ale house in 1680 the Inn oozes with character and is full of original features, such as inglenook fire places, solid wood flooring and beamed ceilings, giving you that real feel of a traditional English country pub.

There are three parts to the pub - the bar area, a separate restaurant area with seating for 30 people and a rear snug. For overnight-stayers there are three double bedrooms and a family room all decorated to a high standard and available from £50 a night.

The enclosed gardens enjoy a rural view and cater for families courtesy of a children’s play area ideal for that relaxing Sunday afternoon tipple in the sun.

The Red Lyon also offers great home-cooked traditional and Mediterranean food using the freshest locally produced ingredients which sets them apart from their competitors.

Lunch is served between 12pm and 2.30pm and dinner between 6.30pm and 9.30pm and you can choose your meal from a four-course daily menu which changes weekly.

With dishes like salmon, smoked haddock and cod fish cakes with poached egg and asparagus or slow

roast lamb shank with black pudding, mash and red wine gravy, it’s easy to see why The Red Lyon has people coming back for more.

The talented brigade of chefs at the The Red Lyon constantly strive for perfection, so whether you have a sandwich or one of their magnificent main courses you can be sure the same level of care and commitment is taken to produce a dish they can be proud of.

In the Summer months The Red Lyon plays host to garden parties with live acts such as The Tube Snake Boogie Band on Saturday, May 28, Cover Up Band on Friday, June 24, T Slammers on Friday, July 29 and Lady M and the Mr Men on Saturday, August 27.

All events will be fully catered with delicious food such as a hog roast, bbq, a fajita night and pizza night on event dates respectively.

All in all The Red Lyon is a traditional family friendly country pub which does great food, offers a relaxing rural outlook and a warm and friendly atmosphere.

So if you’ve not been there, go there. If you’ve been before you don’t need telling.

Sussex band releases charity single An emotional song, written as a tribute to lead singer’s mum, will raise money for those affected by cancer Sussex based band Absent Elk have released their latest single and all profits raised from sales of the song will go to Cancer Research UK. Lead singer Kjetil Morland’s mum was diagnosed with cancer seven years ago and the single is dedicated

to her.

The heartfelt ‘Comfort or Amuse’ was written by Morland, who described it as a “sad song with hope”.

It is available to download on iTunes now.

He also told The Resident: “It’s been a really tough few years, and it was hard to express that in a song.

But I know it means a lot to my mum.

The process of recording the song and filming the video has been really emotional, but we did it to help my mum and others who are living with cancer.”

Absent Elk have been writing and performing together as a five-person group for four years and the band members come from Shoreham and Worthing.

They have achieved national success, touring the country and have supported big names like Girls Aloud on their most recent arena tour. Their

Hit the road lumberjack Folk singer inspired by the mountains and fishing villages of North America is touring the UK, stopping in Horsham along his way Horsham Folk Club welcomes Jeff Warner, from across the pond, on Sunday, May 22.

Described as ‘one of America’s foremost performers and interpreters of traditional music’, Jeff’s songs, from the lumber camps, fishing villages and mountain tops of the US, connect 21st century audiences with the everyday lives and artistry of 19th century Americans.

Jeff grew up listening to the songs and stories of his father, Frank Warner, and the traditional singers his parents met during their folksong-collecting trips through rural America.

He accompanied his parents on their later field trips and is the editor of his mother’s book; Traditional American Folk Songs: From the Anne

and Frank Warner Collection.

Jeff has performed widely, from large festivals in the UK to clubs, festivals and schools across America. He plays concertina, banjo, guitar and several ‘pocket’ instruments, including bones and spoons.

His unique interpretative style lends depth and potency to the songs he sings.

A native of New York City, Jeff has lived in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, since the late 1990s.

He is performing at 8pm this Sunday at Horsham Folk Club, Normandy Centre, Denne Road, Horsham.

Tickets: £6 (Members £4), under 21s and students free; available on the door from 7.45pm. For information call 01403 276273.

sound is described as a melodic mix of guitar-based pop and rock.

Kjetil Morland, who is a full-time singer and songwriter said he has been passionate about his chosen path since childhood. “I always knew this was what I wanted to do. I’ve got a box full of plastic cassette tapes I used to record on when I was a boy.”

He told The Resident.

Today, he is recording music as a professional – the band’s latest album Caught in Headlights is out now and they have also filmed a video for Comfort and Amuse, which can be seen on You Tube.

They are currently writing and working on new material.

Arthur Smith is live and exposed

In ten hilarious The minutes, James Hood gets a taste of what is in store for audiences who see Arthur Smith at The Capitol this month

Interview

The hilarious comic is coming to The Capitol this month, for an evening of laugh-out-loud live and light entertainment Join comedian, writer, broadcaster and all-round British institution Arthur Smith, when he comes to The Capitol at the end of May in Arthur Smith Exposed!

Enjoy an evening of laughter and off-the-wall humour with one of the ‘alternative comedians’ who shook up the world of light entertainment in the 80s and 90s.

Expect plenty of playfulness, crammed with jokes, anecdotes, short stories, poems, songs and readings from his recently published memoir ‘My Name Is Daphne Fairfax’ which has won praise from literary critics.

Arthur is a BBC regular, well known for his appearances on TV’s ‘Grumpy Old Men’, ‘Q.I.’, ‘Have I Got News For

You’, ‘The One Show’ and Radio 4’s ‘Loose Ends’, ‘Balham Bash’ and Radio 2’s ‘Smith Lectures’.

He is a ‘Spirit of The Fringe’ awardwinning Edinburgh Festival stalwart and Olivier nominated playwright for ‘An Evening With Gary Lineker’ Arthur is simply one of our funniest and most original comic performers and is guaranteed to bring you a night of hilarity, mirth and scandal, with a touch of cheek and rudeness thrown in for good measure.

See him live on stage on Friday, May 27 at 8pm. Tickets £16.

For more information or to book tickets contact the Box Office on 01403 750220 or visit www.thecapitolhorsham.com

Little Howard and the magic pencil of life and death

“The Resident?” Arthur responded when I told him where I was calling from.

“Is there only one of those in Horsham? Shouldn’t it be The Residents?”

It’s the kind of quick wit that made my conversation with Arthur Smith an entertaining one.

The well-known comedian comes to The Capitol this month, in what he described as “a light entertainment experience in one evening”. But after a brief time interviewing him, I wonder if he is being modest.

Arthur is naturally hilarious, which leads me to believe his show will be equally as funny.

And making people laugh is a talent he thinks he was born with: “I was always a cheeky, funny kid. I liked to show off a bit. And I learnt early on that people liked it when I cracked a joke”, Arthur told The Resident.

“Plus, I realised that if I was funny, I could get away with not doing other things!” He added.

As a young student Arthur excelled in drama and the arts, performing on stage and school and continuing at college.

He worked as an amateur performer into his 20s, when he got a gig presenting an LWT comedy show on TV in the 80s.

He has since gone on to have a successful professional career as a comedian, poet and all-round entertainer.

But he says he is happy to have never been too well-known: “I think that your career can have longevity if you don’t peak too early.

“I’m pleased to say I have had a lot of success for many years and done a range of things. It’s the variety in my acts and performances that I think people enjoy”, Arthur said.

So of all the work he does, what does he enjoy most? “I like writing, but mainly because it’s about two yards to get to my office. Performing is great too. It’s like one big party on stage”.

The cartoon star of BBC TV comes to The Capitol in a live and 3D on-stage adventure with his big friend, Howard

Following the huge success of their massively popular BBC One TV show ‘Little Howard’s Big Question’, Big Howard and the animated six year-old Little Howard are packing their bags and heading off on a UK tour - with a hit live show!

Everything is going well for Little Howard; he has his own TV show,

best-selling book, has appeared on The Royal Variety Performance and sometimes Big Howard lets him drive! Big Howard and Little Howard have also appeared on This Morning and Radio 1, received a nomination for the prestigious Perrier Award, and released the best-selling books ‘Little Howard’s Unpleasant Lullaby’ and ‘Little Howard’s Big Book’.

But things are about to get a little more complicated - when Little Howard discovers he was created by a magic pencil which could give his life a third dimension or destroy him!

Bursting from the TV set on to The Capitol’s stage, this unique family show features sing-a-long songs, innovative 3D animation and hilarious interactive stand-up to keep all ages entertained.

Little Howard will be causing plenty of mischief as he appears on screen to meet the audience (and annoy Big Howard!)

On stage Wednesday, June 1. Tickets: £12 or £10 for children. For more information or to book contact the Box Office on 01403 750220 or visit www.thecapitolhorsham.com

Health & Lifestyle Fake Tan Faux Pas the-resident.co.uk/healthandlifestyle

Amy Jones Health & Lifestyle

Twitter - @AmyJones18

“I should never never never be allowed to wear fake tan”.

That’s what I found myself tweeting as I was standing at the station waiting for my train last Friday.

It doesn’t matter which brand or product I use, or how much I prepare my skin by exfoliating and moisturising before hand, I always end up looking like I’ve been Tangoed.

Before I went to bed on Thursday, I applied a layer of a self-tanning mousse by a brand that everybody raves about at work called Xen-Tan. It goes on fairly dark so you can see the areas that you may have missed or areas that you might have applied a bit too much product to before it’s too late, which helps you to avoid streaks.

I managed to do a fairly even job for me so I thought I’d finally cracked fake tanning. Such naïve wishful thinking.

When I woke up on Friday morning, the first body parts I checked were my legs (evenly tanned), face

(nicely glowing), arms (yep good colour) …then I caught sight of my hands.

They were three shades darker than the rest of my body. Not the palms, as I’d been sensible and worn a mitt whilst tanning, but the (more difficult to hide) tops.

Cue mini-meltdown. I tried scrubbing and washing my hands a copious amount of times to tone them down a bit, to no avail. I even tried applying milk as apparently its enzymes help to break down the colour in fake tan (what a load of rubbish), but apart from turning a bit red, my hands stayed dark orange with white knuckles.

I always end up looking ‘like I’ve been Tangoed ’

After half an hour I was forced to abandon my efforts and head to the station as, even though I seriously considered blagging it, a fake tan disaster is not a legitimate reason to have a day off work.

I convinced myself that no one would even notice if I pulled my

sleeves down far enough, but you literally need your hands for everything and by the time I reached the office I had received countless stares and one man even full on laughed in my face when I picked up my phone to read a text on the train (I considered giving him a better look at one solitary orange finger, but I’m trying to be a bit more ladylike so I refrained..).

The ladies at work were very helpful and provided me with a few tips to bear in mind when planning future fake tanning sessions, not that I will be for a while...

One told me to mix the self tan with a bit of moisturiser before applying as it helps it to glide on a bit more easily and reduces the chances of streaking.

Another told me to fill in any white patches or go over any streaks with wash-off tan (Rimmel and St Tropez, available at Boots, do good wash off tan products) and helpfully blended some over my white knuckles.

Xen-Tan prides itself on giving its users lasting colour for 5-7 days. I’ll give Xen-Tan credit where it’s due, it’s almost a week later and my hands are only a fraction lighter than they were the morning after I applied it…more’s the pity.

Tackling pests... even bed bugs Rats, mice, bed bugs, wasps, and cockroaches continue to be a potential threat to public health.

These pests are unwelcome visitors as they cause disease, distress and damage.

Last year, Horsham District Council’s pest control team carried out over 1,200 treatments to control pests and in addition gave advice to over 500 enquirers.

Martin, Emma, Jenny and Steven have been particularly busy eradicating rats and wasps in 2010. They also

carry out treatments for mice, squirrels and a range of insects including bed bugs and offer a service to businesses to inspect and treat for rats to prevent problems arising.

Following a recent survey of service users, there was a 98% satisfaction rate with the service.

Visit www.horsham.gov.uk for charges, discounts and information.

For free, friendly advice, or if you wish to request a treatment email publichealth.licensing@horsham. gov.uk or call 01403 215411.

animals to humans can cause very serious illnesses, especially in young children.

In 2009, more than 90 people caught the potentially fatal E. coli O157 bug at Godstone Farm in Surrey and 27 people were admitted to hospital for treatment; over half the cases were children below the age of five. This was the largest outbreak in the UK at an open farm and caused understandable public anxiety.

A subsequent enquiry into the outbreak recommends the need to raise public awareness of the potential infection risks when using a farm attraction.

Horsham District Council’s Environmental Health team will be

visiting nurseries giving a presentation on managing health and safety and infectious disease risks when children visit farms. It will also be emphasising the importance of effective hand washing through a practical demonstration and giving out free literature on good practice guidance.

Speaking today, Rod Brown, Head of Planning and Environmental Services at Horsham District Council, said: “We want children to enjoy visits to open farms as they are fun and educational.

“We wouldn’t wish to discourage them but it is important that nursery schools know the precautions that should be taken to avoid infection

Infection control initiative for children on farm visits Horsham District Council is offering a free training session to all local nursery schools and preschools in order to raise awareness and provide practical advice on infection control when visiting farms.

Spring is traditionally the time of year when schools take advantage of the mild weather to visit farms and other educational establishments.

Farm trips are popular during the lambing season where children get to see a wide range of baby animals.

Farm animals, although cute, can carry harmful viruses and bacteria, including E.coli O157, that can be harmful to people. In fact, some of these infections may be passed from

BO OK E

from E Coli 0157.

“People may hear of E.Coli O157 but do not know just how dangerous this particular strain is; it is a nasty infection that people can pick up when handling or stroking animals.

“Hand washing is very important using soap and hot water and then drying them thoroughly and young children need to be supervised when washing their hands.

“This project is a simple and cost effective way of getting the message across to our nursery schools; we recognise that free expert advice is difficult for nurseries to obtain.

“The Council’s Environmental Health officers are responsible for the prevention and investigation

Positive chi for your desk Janine Lowe, our feng shui expert, gives us her advice this week.

As always we talk about clutter, ensure you do not have piles of paperwork in front of you as this will hinder your view of the future.

If you have clutter behind you it will be like carrying it on your back so you will feel weighed down with your workload.

File everything neatly beside you.

Let the chi flow through your desk so there will be no blockages in your career decisions.

Place your phone to the right of your desk, a light to the right of your desk, if you want a photo of your family or a vase of flowers (change the water daily to encourage positive chi) place it to the left.

Place your diary and in-tray to the left of your desk to encourage positive chi. Your desk drawers should be decluttered regularly, that odd paper clip or those staples should be disposed of now...

Higher ‘Loan to Value’ products improved Paul Watts from Mortgage Solutions Limited comments on the latest Bank of England base rate decision The first quarter growth figures for the UK economy showed a welcome increase following the reduction in the fourth quarter of 2010.

This increase in the overall size of the UK economy was however less than impressive at 0.5%. This will have been a factor in the decision making process of the Monetary Policy Committee in holding the bank base rate for a 26th consecutive month at a half of one per cent (0.5%).

The economic data appears to have prompted the majority of the central bank rate setters to decide that any rise in interest rates, combined with recent changes to personal taxation and welfare payments taking effect

from last month, would have been a hurdle too far for consumers to cope with at this point in the economic cycle.

The majority of forecasters are now suggesting that any rise in the base rate is likely to be held until the summer. Although a rise in interest rates has been avoided once again in the UK this month, April saw an increase in the base rate of interest (from 1.00% to 1.25%) in Euro countries.

This was specifically to combat the rising threat of inflation where the headline rate is significantly lower than that of the UK. The Bank of England has chosen once again to maintain the status quo

because of fears of the fragile state of the economy. However, with inflation here significantly above that of our Eurozone neighbours the reprieve may be short lived.

In terms of pricing of mortgage products in May versus April, the price of the average 2 year fixed rate has decreased from 4.52% to 4.50% whereas there has been an increase in the price of the average 5 year fixed rate from 5.59% to 5.62%. The average two year tracker has fallen back again slightly to 3.40%, an all time low.

Following the recent public holidays and the impact this had in reducing borrower numbers for several weeks, we have seen significant

lender mortgage re-pricing activity with the majority of rates being lowered.

Lender appetite for slightly higher Loan to Value products continues to improve with several new providers offering 90% Loan to Value products and even a 95% deal on offer.

This means potential buyers without significant levels of deposit have possible options to enter the market.

It should be said that borrowers contemplating these products need to have completely clean credit histories as lender underwriting requirements at these levels are rigorous.

Mortgage product numbers overall have continued to improve with the number of deals increasing by 20%

compared to the beginning of this year and more than 50% ahead of the corresponding period in 2010.

A fee of up to £95 may be charged for arranging your mortgage. An additional fee of up to £295 may be charged on completion, the amount will depend on your individual circumstances.

Property

Your auction questions answered Since the exciting launch this year of Brock Taylor’s Auction House, we have received a variety of frequently asked questions from the public about the various processes involved.

So, here we have tried to provide answers about buying property at auction and give an insight into how it works and how the process for selling at auction is pain free and simplified by our auction team.

James Brock has been involved in property some fifteen years and would welcome any further questions to be sent via email: jamesbrock@brocktaylor.co.uk or by calling 01403 272022.

What types of properties will you be selling and where?

We are offering a variety of residential and commercial investments, land with planning permission and ground rent investments, predominantly in Sussex and Surrey; however we also cover the whole of the UK. Where can prospective purchasers view the information before the event?

All the properties are available to see with full details and colour 3D floor plans on our website www.

brocktaylor.co.uk, on Rightmove and, once the catalogue has been released, the Essential Information Group, a hard copy can be obtained from our offices at 2-4 East Street, Horsham.

How do we bid for properties?

Prospective purchasers will be asked to attend the auction at the Cisswood House Hotel on Wednesday 8th June 2011.

Individuals will need to make themselves visible to the auctioneer if they wish to bid by clearly raising their hand. It is the auction team’s responsibility to ensure that all bidders are seen and spotters will be in the room to assist the auctioneer.

The auctioneer will control the bidding process and would extend the level of which the increments are made. You are also able to make bids by proxy bid or by telephone bid.

Proxy bid would be by offering your best and final offer and accompanying a cheque or a deposit for 10% of the purchase price (subject to a minimum of £8,000 plus VAT) and the auctioneers contract handling fee, which is £250 plus VAT. If you are the highest bidder and the gavel falls, you will then be contractually bound to complete the purchase within a set date set out

within the special conditions of sale.

Telephone bidding works in a similar manner, in that we would need your deposit and a member of the Brock Taylor team will be on the telephone desk and will bid on your behalf and your say-so.

There are forms available on our website for both proxy and telephone bids, which must be completed, signed and returned along with two forms of identification prior to the date of the auction.

What kind of finances should the buyers have in place before the auction?

All buyers should be aware that if you are the highest successful bidder in the room you are duty bound to put down a 10% deposit which we can take by cheque, cash, debit or credit card and the remainder of the funds need to be available usually within 28 days.

If you require a mortgage on the property and for whatever reason, you are not able to get funding, and you fail to complete, you will forfeit your 10% deposit plus any other expenses that the vendor should incur.

Therefore, we recommend discussing a bridging loan, alternatively, having a full mortgage offer and mortgage valuation survey carried out on

the property prior to bidding.

What legal advice should we take prior to bidding?

This is a good question. All of our properties come complete with legal packs, which are available to download via the Essential Information Group website and we recommend you appoint a solicitor to report on the legal documents prior to bidding.

The documents are free to download and will include such things as the title, office copy entries and local authority searches along with the contract and any special conditions.

What happens once the purchaser has been given the highest bid?

The auctioneer will announce the highest bid three times to allow anyone else to come in, after three times the gavel will come down and the individual has then legally purchased the property.

They would then be taken to the contracts desk where they will be asked to sign a sales memorandum and leave their 10% deposit along with a buyer’s fee of £200 plus VAT; solicitors details will also be required.

Once signed, the purchaser will receive a copy of the sales memorandum and a legal pack to take away.

They will then have to notify their solicitor of the purchase and to take steps to insure the property.

The funds will be placed in the client’s holding account until cleared and then be forwarded to the vendor’s solicitor ready for completion.

Letters confirming the sale will be sent out from Brock Taylor’s auction house to the vendor, the vendor’s solicitor, to the buyer and the buyer’s solicitor, no later than 48 hours after the auction date.

Q A

I have a good offer on my house but cannot find anything to buy – should I consider renting somewhere so I don’t lose my purchaser?

If you have just gone onto the market and have plenty of interest and offers coming in from a variety of buyers, you are in a stronger position to stick to your guns and wait until you have found somewhere to buy.

However we are finding that due to the relative shortage of property on the market, vendors are receiving good quality offers on their houses because there are fewer houses for buyers to choose from. The flip-side though is that because of this shortage of properties, the owners then cannot themselves find somewhere to buy!

My advice is that in the current market a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If the upheaval of moving into rented accommodation for 6mths to a year isn’t too great, then I would suggest accepting an offer at, or above, your expectations and then be prepared to rent somewhere until you find your next purchase. You will then be a chain-free buyer which puts you in a very strong negotiating position when the house you want does eventually come onto the market and you can also move as slowly or as quickly as that vendor requires which again will help with your negotiations.

The alternative is that without a buyer you cannot move anywhere, so better to have a buyer and not be able to find somewhere, than to find what you want but not be in a position to buy it because you have previously rejected great offers from buyers keen to agree a timescale that you declined due to having no onward purchase.

The only time this strategy can backfire is in a rapidly rising market where you sell at today’s prices and then find somewhere in 6 months time that has gone up in value in the intervening few months so that you actually lose out financially. In the current market however, this is highly unlikely as we appear to be in an all too rare period of stable, steady prices for the foreseeable future which makes this strategy eminently sensible and workable.

So I would advise planning to move into rented but in the meanwhile keep your eyes peeled just in case that perfect property comes onto the market in the interim.

If you are contemplating putting your house on the market and would appreciate a market appraisal or would like an answer to any property-related question, please call me on 01403 732727 or email ‘rossattwood@ harper-james.co.uk’.

Q A

I’m a first time buyer, how can I improve my chances of obtaining a mortgage?

Many potential home owners believe that 2011 could be a good time to purchase their first property.

With house prices reducing to levels not seen for many years and interest rates at record lows, the assumption would appear correct. Job security is obviously a concern for some, but the main stumbling block could be securing the funding. I don’t expect the recent rise in VAT to have an adverse effect on the housing market lenders are still more concerned with the risk of lending and the price of money on the swap markets.

At present Banks and Building Societies are adverse to any type of excessive financial risk. They are also acutely aware that the advice of the FSA is for lenders to be responsible in their lending. No one wants to see a repeat of the banking crisis and in my opinion we are not going to see the return of volume lending at 95% for many months, or even years to come. This all poses a problem for a first time buyer. On the risk front the lender can’t refer back to a track record of mortgage payments and even if you have been renting proving affordability of mortgage payments can still be difficult. On the deposit front (especially with house prices in West Sussex being above the country average) a greater emphasis is placed on the size of the deposit and also how it has been accumulated. However, there are many things that first time buyers can do, to improve their chances of a mortgage application being accepted.

Firstly is your deposit. The larger the deposit the less risk to the lender, so the better your chances of the application being accepted next and very importantly is your Credit Score. Make sure all current financial commitments are up to date and paid on time. Also the conduct of your bank account make sure there are no refused direct debits or bounced cheques. Ideally, make sure the balance is in credit, but certainly never over an agreed overdraft limit.

Your employment history is also important. The more stable your employment history the better. Somebody that has only been in their job for three months will be deemed high risk. Next is the Voters Roll. Make sure you are registered at your current address.

The fewer addresses you have lived at in the past three years, the better.

Finally your documentation. Make sure you can provide evidence of all income’s that you receive. Also have at least two forms of identification and at least three months bank statements available at the time of your application.

In summary First Time Buyers are having applications granted

by Banks and Building Societies, but applying to the right bank in the right way is of paramount importance.

Duncan Jagger MRICS Chartered Surveyor Harper James

Q

I have inherited a house in Slinfold with a large garden. I’d like to sell, but my chartered surveyor recommends I include an ‘uplift or overage clause’ in the sale contract because the buyer might be able to get planning permission to build another house or maybe two houses on the plot. The surveyor has told me he’ll negotiate this on my behalf, but I don’t know what he’s talking about.

Can you explain?

A

Having a clause such as this in the sale contract would benefit you in the future if the buyer gets planning permission and develops the land. The clause will state that, if your buyer at some stage gets permission to build on any part of the garden, you will receive a percentage of the increased value of the property.

So do let your surveyor negotiate an agreement to guarantee that if planning permission is granted, you will get your share. The clause will need to be for a fixed time, often twenty-one years, and it must say how you are to be paid the money. But also get a solicitor with experience of “overage” involved to certify that the clause is perfectly worded. It can be a complicated process and you don’t want to lose out because of vague wording.

On-going demand for rented property in Horsham brings new investment to the lettings market For the last six to twelve months there has been an exceptional level of demand for good quality rented property in Sussex generally - and in Horsham and surrounding areas specifically - which is bringing new investment to the market, according to letting specialist Leaders.

Says Leaders’ Horsham senior manager, Kathy Taylor: “Over the last year, Horsham has seen a steep increase in the number of people looking to rent.

“In the thirteen years I have been working in lettings, I have never seen such a big rise of young professionals looking for a home in the Horsham area.

“Surrounded by beautiful countryside but within easy reach of major roads such as the M23 and A24, this area is very popular with people who commute to London but are looking for somewhere more affordable. We also have some of the best schools in

the county, which is attracting more young families to the area. All this is very positive for the lettings market and we have seen average monthly rents increasing by around 4 per cent.”

Leaders report that the strength of rental demand is attracting new investors to the market, helped by the better range of buy-to-let mortgage products now available.

Says Kathy: “Many people are considering a buy-to-let investment as a means to supplement their pensions and to prevent their savings in low interest bearing accounts being eroded by 4 per cent inflation rates.

“They are looking to invest for the long-term, which is what we always advise, and to make the most of a market that is going from strength to strength. This will be good for the market and will bring a wider choice of property for prospective tenants.”

With so many young families and

professionals looking to rent a home in Horsham and the surrounding area, good quality properties never stay empty for long. Leaders are finding in particular that two and three bedroom houses are letting extremely quickly and they have many prospective tenants waiting for these to become available.

The current imbalance in the supply and demand of rented property is anticipated to continue well into 2012 with rents holding firm and, in the majority of cases, increasing.

However, it is imperative that prospective investors get advice from an experienced letting agent before investing as demand can vary significantly from area to area, and even from street to street within the same area!

Says Kathy: “We will always be happy to give free, impartial advice on where and what type of property to buy to make the best of your

investment. We have in-depth knowledge of the market in Horsham and all the surrounding areas, including Broadbridge Heath, Billingshurst, Rusper, Cowfold, Storrington, Partridge Green, Handcross, Warnham and Pulborough.”

Leaders have been specialising in the letting and care of rented property to the highest standards for 28 years.

With their professionally qualified employees and ARLA membership, their knowledge and capability in this field are second to none.

They recently won the Company of the Year Award in the Sussex Business Awards and were highly commended in the Estate Agent of the Year category in the recent Observer Business Awards.

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

Wake-up call for UK’s sleepy drivers Olli Nott Motors Reporter

olli@the-resident.co.uk

With thousands of accidents caused every year by tired drivers, Ford’s new Driver Alert safety system could prove to be a life-saver.

Ford’s Driver Alert uses advanced technology and sophisticated algorithms to analyse driver performance and issues a warning if the driver shows signs of drowsiness or erratic steering.

“Driver fatigue is a serious problem and one that can affect anyone,” said Ford engineer Margareta Nieh, who helped develop Driver Alert. “When drivers become drowsy they tend to drift off line as they lose concentration and then make sudden corrective steering inputs. What we’ve developed is a Driver Alert system that picks up on these erratic driving movements by detecting sideways yaw.”

The Driver Alert system comprises a small forward-facing camera connected to an on-board computer. The

camera is mounted on the back of the rear-view mirror and is trained to identify lane markings on both sides of the vehicle.

When the vehicle is on the move, the computer looks at the road ahead and predicts where the car should be positioned relative to the lane markings. It then measures where the vehicle actually is and if the difference is significant, the system issues a warning.

How does it work?

First a soft warning will pop up in the instrument cluster as a text message and will stay there for 10 seconds with an accompanying chime. If the driver continues to demonstrate drowsy behaviour, a hard warning will appear in the instrument cluster which the driver must acknowledge by pressing an OK button.

“If the driver fails to acknowledge the hard warning, the system can only be reset by stopping the car and opening the driver’s door,” Nieh said.

“The system then recognises that perhaps you have changed drivers or that you have had a rest and can continue.”

Driver Alert is available as part of the optional Driver Assistance pack offered on Ford Mondeo, S-MAX and Galaxy models and was most recently introduced on the all-new Ford Focus. The optional Driver Assistance pack for the Focus costs £750 and also contains Active City Stop, Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Aid, Traffic Sign Recognition, Auto high beam and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).

The most likely times for sleeprelated crashes are:

• On long journeys with monotonous roads, such as motorways • Between 2am and 6am and between 2pm and 4pm (especially after eating) • After having less sleep than normal • If taking medicines that cause drowsiness • On journeys home after night shifts So is this the next MUST have safety accessory? Let me know what you think!

If the car thinks the driver is drowsy, a warning symbol flashes

Citroën DS3 named ‘Car of the Year’ ALL MECHANICAL WORK UNDERTAKEN

LARGE STOCK OF NEW TYRES

Diesel Car magazine has acclaimed the Citroën DS3 with two highly prestigious honours in its annual awards: Best Small Car and overall Car of the Year 2011.

With diesel-powered cars from every market segment eligible for the Car of the Year title, Citroën’s premium quality supermini shone brightly to earn this latest top accolade.

In its 24th year of publication, Diesel Car is recognised as an authority on the rapidly-evolving diesel market in the UK. In its first year on sale, DS3 has transformed the supermini sector with its modern styling, unique personality and rewarding driving dynamics, which have taken total

sales beyond 80,000 units.

“The Citroën DS3 has an ageless air about it, with a youthful exuberance that gives it a trendy appeal, but at the same time exuding an enduring quality and substance,” said Diesel Car editor, Ian Robertson. “The driving experience combined a secure, planted feel with a pert, grippy liveliness that makes it real fun behind the wheel.”

The Diesel Car awards join DS3’s many accolades including ‘Car of the Year’ from Top Gear magazine, ‘Small Car of the Year’ from Channel 5’s Fifth Gear and ‘Best Hot Hatch’ from CarBuyer.

Linda Jackson, Citroën UK’s

Managing Director commented: “It’s great to see DS3 winning yet more important and prestigious awards.

We are dedicated to providing cars with both personality and real-world practicality and combining those attributes with engines that sparkle while putting economy and the environment at the forefront of our thinking. This is certainly the case with DS3 and it’s clearly recognised by the press and public alike.”

Fleming hits 152 in Roffey thriller Martin Read Cricket

Roffey could not quite conjure a victory, but the Premier League newcomers came within a whisker of beating a strong Brighton and Hove team, who finished third last year.

The home side chose to bat and their president, Peter Cheesman, predicted 300 runs would be needed to put the opposition under pressure.

After 30 overs Roffey were 118-1 and this promising platform enabled them to close on 290-5 after 58 overs.

Josh Fleming almost batted through the innings for a truly superb 152, a score only twice bettered in the Premier League last season.

He was ably supported by Chris Plaister (78) and Mike Norris (32). Guy Williamson took 2-47 and Matt Wood 2-66.

Roffey would have reached the triple century target had they not lost the wickets of both established batsmen near the end of their innings.

Between the innings, umpire Tony Millard commented: “On such an excellent wicket for strokemakers, 290 is gettable.”

But Roffey captain Mike Norris said: “I am happy with our score. It will be a challenge for Brighton and Hove against our bowling attack.”

Luke Wells, who topped the Premier League batting averages last season and recently scored two hundreds for Sussex, opened the batting for the visitors.

But the son of former Sussex batsman Alan Wells could only manage 13, succumbing to Roffey’s tall overseas paceman Andrew McGorian.

Bowling with hostile accuracy, McGorian soon struck again and after 20 overs the visitors were 82-3.

But at the 40-over stage another

100 runs had been added without further loss, until the same bowler returned to take two more quick wickets.

Then all-rounder Chris Atherton, brother of former England captain Michael, went cheaply and 65 runs were needed off the last five overs with four wickets in hand.

With Tim Jarvis batting serenely and lusty hitting from his partner, Roffey fielded like tigers on a fast outfield with short square boundaries.

At the start of the 50th over Jarvis was run out – for an outstanding 122 – by McGorian following through.

Sixteen were required from the final over, but Luke Barnard took wickets off the fourth and final balls, leaving the match as a tantalising draw.

Both sides had opportunities to force a win, but great entertainment was provided right through to a chilly, gloomy and rainy 7.40pm.

McGorian finished with 4-81 and

Roffey

290-5

Brighton & Hove 281-9 Match drawn

Barnard 3-89, both sticking to their tasks admirably in the face of a thrusting final onslaught.

Roffey have worked very hard on and off the field to gain promotion into the top flight, their ground looks great and they enjoy considerable and enthusiastic support.

They have got off to a good start to the season in both the league and National Knockout Cup and if they continue to perform so impressively they will surely remain worthy contestants against the most demanding opponents in the county.

Their next home game in the Premier League is against Eastbourne on Saturday, May 28.

Rudgwick go from strength to strength Martin Read Cricket

King George V Playing Fields at Bucks Green is the well-established home of Rudgwick CC after the club moved from a ground near the railway bridge in the village.

The present ground neighbouring the village hall has a backdrop of ancient oaks and hedgerows – and a recently planted community orchard of local varieties, installed by a small team of enthusiastic volunteers.

The substantial pavilion, opened in 2006, stands close to the River Arun with many pleasant seats and picnic tables. The top end of the ground is bordered by mellow Victorian houses with mature, well-kept gardens.

Little wonder that the Cricket Society will return to play on September 11. Touring sides also enjoy visits to Rudgwick, especially as excellent drainage ensures that the firm and bouncy wickets prepared by Jeremy Callaghan are among the best around.

Rudgwick’s fixtures card shows 1849 as the official foundation date, yet there was clearly much earlier cricket played by the village, including a match against Slinfold on Broadbridge Heath Common in May 1775.

William and Edwin Napper of Rudgwick played for Sussex and the MCC, and their family were founding members of the village club.

Local resident Christopher MartinJenkins, president of the MCC and BBC commentator, is a vice-president of Rudgwick and in 1994 captained a visiting side to raise money for Save the Children.

President Barry McGahan, mine host at Horsham’s Stout House, accepted an invitation to be a guest player for Rudgwick in 1976 and has been happy to make it permanent.

Cricket

Josh Presland (7-15) ripped through the Pulborough batting before Eastbourne won by five wickets, overhauling the visitors’ 66 all out at the Saffrons.

Rohit Jogota took 2-10 in eight overs, including five successive maidens, but Pulborough are bottom of the Sussex Premier League table.

Jagota has been chosen for the Sussex Cricket League squad to play Sussex in a T20 match at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove, on Thursday, May 26 (6pm). Admission is free.

Nuthurst (232-5) drew with Harry Baldwins (191-7). Jonny Willis hit 71 for Nuthurst, Bob Samways 51 and Raggy Singh 50 not out, while Olly Craske took 5-67. Rob Masefield scored 73 in reply.

Defending champions Kings Arms, Billingshurst, beat Crabtree Cavaliers, Lower Beeding, by nine wickets and Norvartis beat Heath Lambert in the Gullick Cup. Youth Cricket

West Chiltington U10 beat Southwater U10 by one run in the IDentilam Colts League, despite good batting

by Natalie Taylor and Jack WoolgarLeith, fine fielding by Taylor Setterfield, Ben Nash and Jamie Lillywhite, and a fantastic final over by Josh Baker.

Horsham Trinity U12 continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 16-run defeat of Billingshurst U12.

Captain Sam Dobson led the way as he retired on 26 and Max Tustin made 19 before Billingshurst’s Benjamin Robinson retired on 27 and Oliver Stride scored 19.

Max McAteer (4-6) claimed a hattrick and Callum Jeal took 3-14 as Roffey U10 beat Slinford U10 by 80 runs. McAteer top-scored on 17 not out, with Josh Dance unbeaten on 13.

He said: “It’s a friendly family club and I like playing in the proper spirit, particularly as we are lucky to make away trips to some other beautiful grounds.”

The Pages figure prominently. Father Keith played for years and enjoyed being in the same team as sons Dominic and Jonathan, now prolific batsmen, when they broke into the senior ranks. Dominic is fixtures secretary.

This season’s President’s Day match will be an all-day fixture on Sunday, July 24. Well-known local cricketers will again join Rudgwick players past and present to enjoy a competitive game in a convivial atmosphere, raising useful funds for the club.

Inspirational chairman Matthew Clark is proud of Rudgwick’s contribution to the Village Cricket League and greatly values the relaxed family atmosphere.

Steve Perkins captains the league side, leading from the front with most club wickets in 2010.

Dr Clark is also pleased with Rudgwick’s successful tours. The club will visit the Bournemouth area at the end of July, when teenage colts will savour the experience alongside more experienced players.

On Bank Holiday Monday, May 30, the club will host a 10:10 tournament aimed at encouraging occasional cricketers and their children to enjoy fun cricket.

The Rudgwick pavilion also acts as the Village Community Centre, with additional activities ranging from Sunday lunches to snooker, barbecues, tennis and football.

Rudgwick CC’s committee works hard to provide excellent facilities, which must be the envy of many a village side.

The club will be pleased to hear from anyone interested in becoming a player, social member or supporter. See www.rudgwick.play-cricket. com

Jade puts rivals in the shade Mick Cole Athletics

The Sussex County Championships provided the athletes of Horsham Blue Star Harriers with a rich haul of medals at Crawley’s K2 Arena.

More than 50 Blue Star athletes took part, winning a total of 13 gold, 12 silver and seven bronze medals and producing more than 30 personal bests.

In the senior women’s events,

Alex Best won gold and silver in the U17 400m and 200m

Rebecca Jennings led the way with winning performances in the 100m (12.5) and 100m hurdles (14.8).

In the U20 women, Holly Webb threw the javelin 35.79m for gold.

Rosie Inman won gold in the 3,000m (11.27.6), followed home by teammate Genevieve Pounds, and there was a bronze medal for Rhiannon Dunlop (400m hurdles in 77.0).

In the U17 age group, Cadie Willis produced an England Schools qualifying time when winning the 100m in 12.5, Lauren Milnthorpe won the 300m hurdles in 47.7 and added the 80m hurdles silver medal in 12.6, with Camille Cowan also winning silver in the 1,500m (4.55.0).

The U15 girls events produced the quality performance of the weekend when national indoor champion Jade Brewster won the pole vault with 3.15m.

This was a new championship best performance and is the leading vault in the UK in her age group this year.

Molly Adams gained silver in the 100m (13.0) and Hannah Clark repeated that position in the discus (23.64m).

Adams added a bronze medal in the 200m (27.2) before running a leg of the 4x100m relay as Horsham gained gold in 52.2. The Horsham B team won an unexpected bronze medal.

The boys also proved successful with 16 medals.

In the U15 boys, there were gold medals for Jack Milnthorpe in the high jump with a new personal best of 1.62m and Richard Mason in the pole vault (2.65m). Milnthorpe also collected two silvers in the 80m hurdles (13.3) and javelin (32.05m).

There was a further silver medal for the 4x100m relay team in 50.1

Jade Brewster is ranked number one in the UK after winning the U15 pole vault

and bronze medals for Bruce Foster (200m in 25.0) and Remi Shaieb (2.15m pole vault).

In the U17 age group, Alex Best led the medal haul with gold in the 400m (51.2) and silver in the 200m (23.4).

Karl Johnstone added gold in the U17 400m hurdles (72.5) and Max Woodward won the pole vault with James Mackman a close third.

This event was the closest of the weekend with the top four vaulters all clearing 3.00m and the result decided on count-back.

Luke Johnson won javelin silver with 39.71m.

The U20 men added three medals with Matthew Gue winning silver in the discus (40.18m), Matt Sansome silver in the javelin (37.15m) and James Hedges bronze in the 100m (11.6).

Rebecca Jennings won the 100m and 100m hurdles

Youth Golf

Cottesmore Junior Academy’s first individual event of the season set the standard as Josh Dance, eight, equalled the Academy Course record by playing the nine holes (par 29) in 34 shots.

Dance, who has been part of Cottesmore’s Junior Academy for the past two seasons, lived up to the Champion of the Future award he won in 2010.

His nearest challenger was another Champion of the Future, nineyear-old Egor Zotov who in his 36th shot finished on the edge of the ninth green.

Calum Callan, head coach of the academy, said: “The 2011 season will see great battles between the leading players, but Josh Dance has certainly laid down the gauntlet.”

Winners: Isaac Peate (U7), Josh Dance (U9), Egor Zotov (U11), Kane Minter (U13), Will Alford (U15), Polina Zotova (U15 Girl).

Cadie Willis produced an England Schools qualifying time in winning the U17 100m

YM turn to experienced Donnelly Tom Norris Football

the-resident.co.uk/sport

Sammy Donnelly is the new manager of Horsham YMCA. After 35 years of management experience, Donnelly has won every honour in Sussex football and joins YM from an advisory position at former Ryman League opponents Whitehawk.

The experienced campaigner, who

has also managed at Lancing, Three Bridges and Worthing, said: “I am honoured to be the manager of Horsham YMCA. They have always been a very well-run club and as soon as the job became vacant I decided to apply.

“I’ve managed all around Sussex and I’m still Sussex manager as well, so I’ve got a vast knowledge of players.

“There will be a select group of players that I will be looking to bring to YM. They will be players that want to play for the club – because you’ve

got to have that – and then players who want to be winners.”

Discipline is so ‘important in life and

football shouldn’t be any different

’

Donnelly, who has scouted for Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers, described himself as a strict disciplinarian.

He added: “No matter what it is

in life, if you haven’t got rules, then you’re going to fall apart.

“Players need to know that you’ve got to have discipline at a football club and it doesn’t matter whether you’re professional or semi-professional. Discipline is so important in life and football shouldn’t be any different.”

A YM statement said: “Mr Donnelly has a wealth of experience. The club is looking to bounce back from a disastrous season and is confident Mr Donnelly is the ideal person to bring back stability and success on the field.”

Youth Football

Chesworth Rovers U9 won the Cranleigh Youth tournament.

Callum Osborne scored a hat-trick in a 5-0 win against Albury, while Daniel Christer, Christian Burgess, Cody Blastock and Max Laker were also among the goals and Thomas Edevane proved a safe pair of hands.

Boxing

Horsham BC’s Ben Pringle secured a unanimous points win against Whitehawk’s Lloyd Martin on Eastbourne Pier.

Bradley Parsons, 13, won his debut bout with a unanimous points win against Moulsecoomb’s Archie Burdon in Brighton.
