The only taxi number you will ever need

Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to catch a cab to Venice? Well Brian and Dany Lay of Comptons Lane, Horsham, know all too well, having called up Horsham taxi form AAA2B to get them home from Italy! Their dream trip to Venice started to become a nightmare as volcanic ash clouds swept across Europe, resulting in a mass cancellation of flights across the continent. For teachers Brian and Dany, with a teenage daughter at

home, it was vital that they got home as soon as possible. Having exhausted all avenues in the Italian city of romance, and not prepared to stumped up the EUROS 6,000 quoted by one Venetian taxi firm, they called Horsham and within just a few hours driver Tim Poole was on his way, for “ a third of the price.” Meanwhile, nearly 30 members of the Horsham’s Atlantis Swimming Team were making their way home from an Italian training camp...by coach!

Green light for homes Yawn, another housing story... Yes, but this is a big one, and you need to know about it. A new housing development of up to 1044 homes in the ‘Land west of Horsham’ site has been approved. It’s behind the Tanbridge School/Hills Farm area and heads off into Broadbridge Heath.

I thought this was approved a few weeks ago? No, there was a big issue with the number of affordable homes being offered by the developer, Berkeley’s, when the application came up last month. So it was deferred until Tuesday night.

And now it’s all go! t is indeed. It’s been talked about for years this one, and now the developer can press on. In this new neighbourhood, there will also be a fire station, community centre and expanded school facilities.

So it was plain sailing this time around? No, far from it. A number of residents spoke out with very valid concerns, and the councillors on the North Area Planning Committee meeting on Tuesday night debated the issues for three hours. But in the end the usual thing happened the Lib Dems voted against it and the ruling Conservative members voted for it.

And there’s more of them? Yes. They agreed with the recommendations of the council’s planning officers to push ahead with the scheme.

Then why were the other councillors and residents unhappy? There are three main issues. The first is infrastructure. The development proposal includes a separate junction on the A24 immediately north of High Wood Hill, but the problem is that won’t be built for several years, when a few hundred houses will have been built. Up until then the traffic will have to use the current Farthings Hill junction, which is already pretty busy. Surely that’s crazy? As the planning officers and members of West Sussex County Council pointed out, there has been vast research done on infrastructure and traffic movements in the area, and other similar models have been studied, and they have deemed that the area can cope. And the residents don’t agree? Not at all. It’s fair to say that several are mystified as to how such a conclusion can be reached! One campaigner, Paul Martin, went on to Google Earth and found the image taken when the Google camera

exclusive use for

So they haggled and got a better deal! Well, they haggled. And the deal should be good in the end. The development comes with a condition - a Section 106 Agreement.

The Land West of Horsham, and below, Paul Martin’s images of the flood damage

vehicle was at the junction. The picture tells its own story, as do his images of the flooding!

Flooding! Here? Well, there. The River Arun and its floodplain, along with Boldings Brook tributary, runs parallel to Hills Farm Lane, and splits the development area into two. Residents are not happy with the findings of the Environment Agency, and Denne Neighbourhood Council raised questions about the results, backed up again by clear, photographic evidence. There is a fear amongst current residents that the development

will increase flooding in the area.

And the third issue is? Our old friend ‘affordable housing’. You may recall that this was the stumbling block when the planning application last came up. We won’t go into it in great details as we don’t have big broadsheet pages to fill, but Berkeley’s originally proposed 20%. However, developments in other parts of the country meant there was a big opportunity for this level to rise, which is good for the council as they have a certain quota to meet.

They do go out of their way to make these things sound complicated, don’t they? It’s a nationwide conspiracy to bore people out of going along to council meetings.

So what is a Section 106? It means that if property prices go up during the course of the development, which will occur over the next 12 years with roughly 100 homes built each year, then the number of affordable homes goes up.

So we just have to trust the property developers! Well, that’s the fear some harbour. But the Chief Executive , Tom Crowley, gave a guarantee that a “watertight” agreement will be in place. And there will be a review at each phrase of building to ensure that the council is getting a fair deal with affordable homes. What’s a fair deal? The maximum percentage of affordable homes would be 40%. The council chiefs won’t want to be seen with egg on their faces, which they will if they set the trigger for the

agreement too high, and we’re sure that they’re way too smart to let that happen.

So when do we get to see these new facilities? The houses are likely to be built from 2011, but it could be many years before the community facilities are in place. As one officer stated at the meeting: “It is not always realistic to put in the community facilities before the housing development takes place.” Boo!

And where else are they going to be building homes? There will be new housing West of Bewbush. It narrows the game between the two towns, but not by a lot.

And Southwater? There’s five sites that are being considered for housing in the Core Strategy, including Billingshurst and Southwater (also Holbrook North, Ifield and Chennells Brook). They won’t all go ahead (well, we don’t think) but there won’t be much development on that for some time now. But if you want to find out more both Southwater (Keep Southwater Green) and Billingshurst (Save Billingshurst) have good campaign websites If you’d like to find out more about the proposals visit www.horshamdistrictldf.info

Tough Coaching

Everafta headline at the return of The Rock Asylum nights at The Xtra Time Bar, Broadbridge Heath Sports Centre, tonight (23rd April), with support.

Horsham covers band Solice will be at The Sussex Barn in North Heath Lane in Horsham tonight (23rd Apr) Support comes from Dani Barnes

Read about Brian and Dany’s crazy cab adventure on Page 30! Members of the Atlantis swimming team were clearly devastated to be stuck in Italy, missing school! The Atlantis Swimming team finally pulled into the car park outside The Pavilions leisure centre a little before 6pm on Wednesday evening. They had been due home from their Easter break training camp in the coastal town of Lignano last Friday. But like so many others, their plans were somewhat altered by a volcanic ash cloud! But there will be plenty who have suffered far more than the Atlantis team of 24 youngsters and four coaches. If you’re going to be stuck you might as well be with your friends in sunny Italy! And there will be no excuses for not picking up plenty of gold medals next season - the swimmers clocked up an incredible 92,000metres between them

because of the extended training camp. Speaking to The Resident straight off the coach on Wednesday, coach Andy Lobley said: “We were due to fly out last Thursday evening, but that was cancelled so we didn’t even go the airport. “The flight was rescheduled for Tuesday but that was cancelled too so we hopped on a coach about 25 hours ago. “We kept training for the extra days so the time was well spent!” During the extra days, Andy and some of the children kept updating the blog so that all the parents knew everyone was safe and well, but when school started and the crisis dragged on there was suddenly more urgency to get people back.

Andy said: “The kids have been first class, every single one of them. But the parents obviously needed the kids back. “The whole trip has been great fun. We have kids aged nine to 17 here so quite a mix but they all get on well. “BA paid for the extra nights and the resort gave us free pool time, so we were well looked after, but it is a relief to be home! “I think it’s an experience none of the kids will forget and will certainly go down in Atlantis history!” The group had to pay EUROS 3,800 for the coach, having initially been quoted EUROS 8,000. So what have we learned from all this? Horsham folk make great hagglers!

Police act swiftly after dog attack

As you will have probably seen or read in the national news, an 18month-old baby girl was killed by a dog in Broadfield, Crawley, on Saturday. This terrible event has again highlighted the issue of keeping dangerous dogs, and already the police in Sussex have acted. A pitbull has been seized from a property in Washington, near Storrington, after a dog warrant was executed in a pre-planned operation on Monday 19th. A total of four dogs were seized on suspicion of being pitbull types banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, one of which was confirmed to be a pitbull by the owner. Chief Inspector Mark Trimmer said: "Although this operation has been planned for some time, we are all sadly aware of the tragedy in Crawley over the weekend. “We would like to reassure the community that Sussex Police takes potential crimes involving dogs extremely seriously. "Pitbulls are powerful dogs that

could easily inflict serious injury and it important to keep them off our streets. I would like to thank the members of the public who provided the vital information that lead to this warrant. “I hope this demonstrates to the local community that we take their concerns seriously and will act on

the information provided to us." The dogs will remain in kennels while the investigation continues. Anyone with concerns relating to dangerous dogs or with information relating to rural or animal crime, whether domestic or wild, is asked to contact Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999 or anonymously to

the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Meanwhile, a 32 year old man, the owner of the dog and uncle of the victim Zumer Ahmed, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter shortly after the attack. He has now been released on police bail pending further enquiries. It is thought that the dog was an American Bulldog, although this is subject to confirmation by experts; this is not a breed to be banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act. It is currently being held by Sussex Police and will be destroyed. A post mortem was held on Sunday and showed that she died as a result of haemorrhaging and fracturing of the skull from multiple dog bites. In a statement, Zumer’s family said: “Our cherished baby Zumer was taken from us in tragic circumstances. Nothing will ever replace the laughter and love she brought into our home. We are struggling to come to terms with the gap her passing has left. “

While for others the Swimathon at Bluecoats leisure centre, Christ’s Hospital, was completed at a more leisurely pace! John, who at 77 was the oldest participant, and Sue, who also competed for the Water Babies team, both fall into that second category, but did a valiant job, managing 72 and 80 lengths of the pool respectively. Poppy Maunders, pictured above left, was the first to register for Swimathon 2010 and the 11-year-old completed a five kilometre swim.

Bluecoats Swimathon co-ordinator Gill Probin said: “My favourite session is the Sunday event where most of the participants are swimmers from the Bluecoat swim school. “It is so wonderful to see the enthusiasm of these young swimmers. One of the main reasons why I am involved in the Swimathon is I really want to encourage people to take up swimming as a daily activity to promote a healthier lifestyle. “I hope these swimmers will participate for many years to come.” Gill also thanked Horsham Air Cadets 1015 Squadron for their help.

Eight up for Horsham hotseat Who will get your vote on 6th May?

Well if you don’t like the ‘Big Three’ there are plenty of alternatives here in Horsham. The day of the election is May 6th, and eight candidates will be looking for your vote here. The man they have to beat is the current Horsham MP, Francis Maude. It might be that his horse could hobble home to victory with a broken leg and a blindfold, but that won’t stop the others trying. Godfrey Newman is the Liberal Democrats candidate, and in recent weeks has campaigned for better Post Office services. Also hoping to at least get 5% of the Horsham vote so they get their candidacy fee back will be the Labour Party. Andrew Skudder represents the party. The Greens have fielded a local candidate, Nick Fitter, as have The UK Independence Party (UKIP) with young candidate Harry Aldridge seeking your vote.

He’ll be speaking at a public meeting in Roffey on the 30th April if you want to hear more of his views. Another man hosting an event is Jim Duggan, of the Peace Party, standing for peace, justice and non violence. He’ll be in Market Square on the 1st May - if you’re not sure what he looks like, he’s the one that looks like Billy Connolly with pink streaks in his hair. The final candidates are Steve Lyon of the Christian Party, and Independent Derek Kissach. You’ll be able to read about the local candidates right here in The Resident in next week. Whoever you de-

cide to vote for - please make it count! The Horsham District’s Electoral Register totals over 100,000 people, a figure that continues to grow by about 500 a year. The final date for postal and proxy vote applications is 5pm on Tuesday 27th April. Everyone is being asked to return the relevant forms directly to Horsham District Council. The number of postal votes at this year’s General Election is expected to grow again. This year's postal vote ballot forms go out to residents from today (23rd April) and must be returned to Horsham District Coun-

cil’s offices in Horsham by 10pm on 6th May. For those voting on 6 May, there are 69 polling stations in the Horsham District and polling stations will be open from 7am-10pm on the day. Full details of which polling station to use and where it is will be sent by post to all voters on polling cards from this week. Postal voting and proxy forms can be obtained from Horsham District Council by email at elections@horsham.gov.uk or by calling 01403 215126.

Girls on top again

Review: HAODS production of Oklahoma! at The Capitol Theatre, Horsham There’s really no excuses for Horsham Amateur Operatic and Dramatics Society not putting on a good production of Oklahoma! This is, after all, the fifth time that the group has staged this musical, the first collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein. And save for the dream sequence just before the end of the first period, which was lacking a little cohesion and conviction, this will go down as another great success for HAODS, who once again attracted a full house. Five or six might have suffered a heart attack when the gunshots were suddenly fired, but that aside the audience had an enjoyable experience! It was the girls again who stole most of the plaudits, primarily Siobhan McMahon as Laurey, who may not boast the greatest stage presence in the company, but is almost certainly blessed with the greatest voice. S i o b h a n’ s voice soars in one o f

the lead roles, and love interest Curly (played by Mark Freeman) has a job on his hands to keep her honest! But he does a fine job, providing us with a loveable, rogue-ish turn, with all the confidence you would expect from such an experienced campaigner. Jane O’Sullivan has a good deal of fun playing the feisty Aunt Eller, and was one of the best at adapting to the American twang, although it must be said that the standard in this department was very high in general. But again, they’ve had plenty of practice! As we saw in Fiddler on the Roof,

HAODS has strength in depth when it comes to roles for younger women, and they all bring something different to the table. Katy Kinsella, for instance, doesn’t have the vocal range of Siobhan, but lights up the stage as bubbly, flirty, as-far-frombeing-wife-material-as-youcan-get minx Ado Annie. We hope her boyfriend wasn’t in the crowd - she was clearly having far too much fun kissing most of the male cast! Ian Blackmore, playing Annie’s main love interest Will Parker, will certainly have less enjoyable roles to play in the future! Continued on Page 13

of helium. Well worthy of praise is Kevin Summers as Ali Hakim, who not only has to maintain a Persian accent, but sing in it too. He did though, get to steal most of the play’s best lines. “You get tired of a woman. With one woman what can you do - you just get tireder and tireder.” But the whole cast pull together, and the play was never

better than when many of them were on stage singing and acting together. There’s nobody hiding at the back, like you get in some productions - some poor kid who would rather be anywhere else but is dragged in because his mum is costume designer of something! In fact, one of the older members of the cast looked like he really was ‘born under a wandering star’ and was lov-

ing it, rolling back the years with some country dancing. It’s as much the look of the show that makes the HAODS productions so appealing as the singing and dancing. While the dance routines may not be good enough to see HAODS feature in the next Rihanna pop video, the choreography and direction really wasn’t bad. In the background was a superb musical team, and they barely missed a beat all night.

And the costumes for all members of the cast - not just those in lead roles - were superb. So another triumph then for HAODS. While it may not be their finest hour, it was certainly a praise-worthy effort from all involved, as the group continues to thrive 55 years after its foundation. There’s no time to revel in the glory though - Kiss Me Kate is just five months away!

Weird news from Planet Earth

9-legged Octopus

A nine-legged octopus was caught and found its way to Hellas Bakery and Restaurant in Florida. Head Chef Emmanuel Psomas says he was steaming the octopus Thursday when he discovered that it seemed, well, leggier than normal. Psomas says he's cooked octopus for 40 years it's a Greek delicacy - and has

never seen one with an extra leg He says he counted the legs three times in disbelief. He plans to eat it soon!

An Australian publisher has had to pulp and reprint a cookbook after one recipe listed "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of black pepper. Penguin Group Australia had to reprint 7,000 copies of Pasta Bible last week, the Sydney Morning Herald has reported. The reprint cost A$20,000 ($18,000; £12,000), but stock in

bookshops will not be recalled as it is "extremely hard" to do so, Penguin said. The recipe was for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto.

Unusual ingredient

King of dictators

A sketch said to depict a real life game of chess between Hitler and Lenin is expected to fetch thousands of pounds at auction. The drawing is said to be signed on the reverse by the two future dictators, and drawn by Emma Lowenstramm, Hitler's then art teacher, in Vienna in 1909. When the etching was made,

Hitler was 20 and a jobbing artist in the city while Lenin was twice his age and in exile, reports the Daily Telegraph.

A Suffolk man found his wife on Google Street View - 43 times. Terry Southgate, 55, was curious to see if he could spot himself or Wendy, 52, on the site, reports The Sun. He was thrilled when he saw Wendy walking their dog Trixie - and followed their usual route online.

But he was amazed when she appeared in shot after shot for almost half a mile in their village of Elmswell.

A Beluga whale is making a big splash as an artist after picking up a paintbrush at an oceanarium in China. Keepers at the Qingdao Polar Ocean World say Xiao Qiang started out when he simply grabbed a paint brush left behind buy a visitor and started playing with it. Now the seven year old star's paintings are changing hands for hundreds of pounds among

fans. "He showed a lot of interest in painting right from the start so now all we have to do is give him the brushes and hold the paper while he paints with his mouth," said a trainer.

It’s a small world

Gridiron touches down in the town American Football is coming to Horsham - and that’s a big 10-4 good buddy! We’ve already got the Chevrolet dealership, and what with the town’s baseball club being amongst the best in the country, surely it’s only a matter of time before we get a Wendy’s, a Guns n’ Ammo store and maybe even a Nascar track! American Football, or “Gridiron” as it is sometimes called, returns to Horsham this year for the first time in over 20 years since the days of the now defunct Horsham Predators. The Sussex Thunder, 2008 National Division 1 Champions, will compete in the top flight of British American Football at their new home of Broadbridge Heath Stadium.

The club will make the short move from their current home in

Crawley in time for the start of the 2010 British American Football Association Community League (BAFACL) Premiership season in early May, although they don’t have a home game until June. At the end of the 2009 season, the Thunder management team made the decision to find a new venue, one which would be suitable to host Premiership football and have the facilities available to provide an enjoyable game day experience for all. After an extensive search of venues across the county, negotiations were opened with Broadbridge Heath’s management and an agreement was reached for the club to play its home games in 2010 and beyond. Club Chairman Tony Miller said: “We have been searching for a venue like this for a while, but have been unable to find somewhere with the right facilities. “When we approached DC Leisure, who run the stadium, they where more than helpful. They were very keen to do all they could to make the move affordable to us and provide all the assistance they

could during the move.” Club Vice-Chairman and GB Lions Quarterback Eber Kington added: “Moving to the stadium will give us a base to provide a full game game-day experience for our supporters. “It ticks all the right boxes and will hopefully give us the chance to promote both the team and football in general and also attract more fans and sponsors to the game”. Claire Fleming, Operations Manager for DC Leisure at the stadium said: “I think this will be a great arrangement for both us and the club and we look forward to forming a long-term partnership between us. Personally I can’t wait for the season to start.” The clubs first game at their new home will be on Sunday June 6th, when the visitors will be local rivals the Farnham Knights.

Anyone who would like more information or to become involved with the club either playing, becoming a member of the game-day staff or sponsoring the team should contact the manager Tony Miller on 07793 145709 or chairman@sussexthunder.co m. Image kindly supplied by www.vicheritage.fotopic.net

Well, what a remarkable weekend for British motorsport it was. Of course, we’re not referring to the extended national anthem being played at the Chinese Grand Prix as Button and Hamilton romped home in a British-built car for a McLaren one-two. No - for the first time in a generation a Briton won a World Formula Two Championship race. Exactly a generation as it turns out - the winner was Jolyon Palmer, and the last winner was father Jonathan in Mugello, Italy, in 1983. The former F2 champion and Chief Executive of MotorSport Vision was at Silverstone today to witness his son's success and hand an ecstatic Jolyon his trophy at the end of the race. Jolyon, from Southwater, won the first race of the season at Silverstone on Sunday and followed that with a second place finish to Philipp Eng in race two, and now leads the championship. Having b e e n fastest in testing in recent weeks, Jolyon spoke to

the Resident last week, saying he was “going for the title”. That ambition must now very much be the goal, and it could be that he could follow in his father’s footsteps and secure a spot in Formula One. Last year’s F2 champion Andy Soucek secured a test drive position at F1 new boys Virgin F1. Jolyon kept a cool head to control the race from lights-toflag. Follow Brit Dean Stoneman was able to exert steady pressure during the opening series of laps, but lost ground after a spin at Becketts in the mid stages. Such was the dominance of the top two however, that Stoneman was able to return to the track and maintain second position, eventually finishing the race little over three seconds behind. " I t ' s fantastic, all I could h a v e hoped for r e a l l y," s a i d Jolyon. "I w a s

under pressure at the start but managed to hold it off and get a small gap. Then I was just concentrating on saving my tyres for the last laps, not making any mistakes and trying to keep focused. “I am really delighted with my first F2 win." In Race Two, Austrian driver Eng resisted a spirited challenge by Jolyon to clinch victory, taking the chequered flag by just 0.8 seconds. It was almost a perfect weekend for Palmer. The 19-yearold attacked Eng as they ran down to Copse for the first time, but the Austrian blocked his move and Dean Stoneman seized the opportunity to drive around the outside of his compatriot into second, but he retired with mechanical problems. Jolyon told The Resident on Thursday: "Pre-season testing was really positive, I've been at the sharp end the whole time and it's reflected in this weekend. I am really happy with the weekend and it's above all my expectations. “I think my dad is really proud. Before the race I didn’t know that he was actually the last British winner! “He’s pleased but he tends not to get too involved. I’m old enough to make my own decisions now!”

Sweet treats at Greets

Back in 2006, a Channel 4 programme declared Horsham as the second best place in the country to live. It was judged on trivial matters - school grades, crime rates, property prices etc - but you can just as easily judge an area by the quality of its pubs and foods! And here in the Horsham area, we are spoilt. So much so, that some pubs that may well be overflowing with customers in other areas, have to fight for business. And some have to fight harder than others. A few years ago, The Greets Inn was one of those that most people considered on ‘the shortlist’ when opting to venture out for a Sunday roast. But for many it slipped off that list when it began to focus on Italian food. Now new proprietor Duncan Entwhistle is gradually rebuilding the reputation of the Greets, re-establishing regular customers and turning it back into a traditional English pub. Duncan said: “We’ve been here several months ago, and we’ve worked hard on the building and we’re currently doing work to the garden to make it more appealing for families. “We want to be one of the pubs that people first consider when they are heading out for a meal. It just takes a while to build up to that point again!” The Resident popped along to The Greets on Sunday to sample the new menu, and was impressed by it’s focus on traditional English dishes. On the cusp of the village is a deer park, and they were out in great numbers at the weekend

- so it was difficult to pass up the Venetian Pate on offer! The Greets does indeed buy much of it’s produce from A&R Bailey’s, the village’s superb butchers, who in turn do source meat from the park. Served with crusty bread and a side salad, the pate was a generous starter, while the

‘We want to be one of the pubs that people first consider when they are heading out for a meal. It just takes a while to build up to that point again!’

homemade Leek and Potato soup again demonstrated a simple but satisfying approach to the staple dishes of an English Country Pub menu. Should you miss the days when The Greets went Italian, Parma ham and melon is still on the menu! For the main course I tried a Cottage Pie, which in truth was let down by the potato. So next time instead I would go for the roast, which is of course what all English pubs should be judged on! Serving up both roast beef and roast pork, it is not the cheapest deal available at a shade under £10, but the meat is excellent and there’s plenty of it. And of course, for that price, you get a proper Yorkshire pudding, vegetables that haven’t been warmed up in the microwave, and roast potatoes

that are not from an Aunt Bessie’s packet! Don’t skip the desserts either. The sticky toffee pudding was a naughty delight, and the home made trifles show that the chef has more than a small dose of flair when it comes to sweets. So if you do have a sweet tooth, this should definitely be on your’shortlist’. The Greets is a lovely pub, in what we all know is a beautiful village, and we suggest that when the garden is completed in a few weeks time, it will be serving once again of your consideration for an evening or weekend meal. l The Greets is staging a French food and wine evening on May 5th. The pub will pay homage to a selection of classic French dishes, accompanied by wines supplied by local supplier, Deakin Fine Wines. Greets head chef, Patrick Clemaron, has created an eclectic set menu to awaken the taste buds and showcase the French way of cooking, himself a classically trained French chef. Looking ahead, Duncan said: "We have succeeded in establishing a reputation here at The Greets Inn for fabulous food, so what better way of highlighting the depth of culinary expertise residing here in the kitchen, than by staging an evening that pays homage to classical French cuisine and the nation's food diversity."

Actor to open fete Nostalgic look back at at town hospital

bygone era of transport

TV actor and satirist John Bird has agreed to open the ever popular Horsham Hospital Summer Fete on Saturday, 22nd May. John made his name in the 1960’s in ‘That Was The Week That Was’ and since then has appeared in numerous plays and TV shows. He is best known for his role in the ‘Bremner, Bird and Fortune’ series in which his satirical sketches with John Fortune have won several awards. The fete has been a major feature on the Horsham social scene for more than 50 years and John will perform the opening at 2pm at the Horsham Hospital entrance in Hurst Road. The first fete in 1959 was opened

by Goon Show star Harry Secombe. This year’s event will again feature live music, children’s attractions, more than 25 traditional stalls, a grand prize draw and an appearance by members of the Horsham rescue services. On the agenda is organist Ken Harvey who will play in the refreshment area, Andrew Leach with his delightful 80 year-old fairground organ and a free magic show by Tony The Magician. There will be fairground rides for children and face painting. Last year’s fete to mark the 50th anniversary of The League of Friends raised more than £6,000 which is being ploughed back into hospital projects.

This weekend sees the return of the spectacular Festival of Transport at West Grinstead. As Usual there is fun for all the family with the Olde Tyme Fayre Ground, tractor rides, guided canal walks (stout shoes required) and many other attractions inside and outside the church. Classic and vintage cars will be on display and all owners are welcome to come along. The Festival of Transport Exhibition is a fantastic photographic display backed by detailed information of how transport evolved in the parish that has been researched and presented by local historians. The forgotten-about Adur Canal, Turnpikes and Railway feature in the displays with guided walks along the canal, tractor rides along the old byways and walks to the old West Grinstead Station. The last Station Master

on the Steyning Line will be on hand to add a touch of reality to this bygone era. Outside the Church the The Country and Craft Fayre includes hurdle making, stick dressing and folk singing amidst stalls selling home made produce, crafts and plants. Locally produced sausages and burgers on the barbeque, ploughmans lunches, teas and a beer tent are available all day. The ever successful Silent

Auction offers the opportunity to bid for exclusive days out, a holiday amongst its many unusual lots. Starting on Friday with preview evening and a talk about the history of the canal, folk singers, wine and canapés tickets £10. Entry from 6:30pm in the churchyard. All are welcome but call to reserve tickets before 3pm Friday if possible. The event this weekend starts at 11am until 5pm on both days with the exhibi-

tion in the church opening later on Sunday at midday. Entrance is by lucky programme £2 for all the family, car park is free. St George’s Church is on the B2135 Steyning Road West Grinstead RH13 8LR and is sign posted off the A24 South of Buck Barn traffic lights.

Joanna van Gyseghem takes the starring role Now this is one that may or may not be showing! Two of the cast of the Ian Dickens Production of Ron Aldridge’s comedy, It’s Never Too Late, were stuck abroad this week. I’m sure we don’t need to tell you why... But all being well, they will be back in good time to make it for the 27th and 28th April, when the production is showing at the Capitol Theatre. The show can’t really go on without them there’s only six members of the cast! Widely respected stage and television actress Joanna Van Gyseghem (probably best known for the role of Linda Cochran in the sitcom Duty Free) is joined by well loved actor Jeffrey Holland (Hi-De-Hi, Oh, Dr Beeching! and You Rang M’Lord?) and Judy Buxton (On The Up).

Joanna’s theatre work includes Wild Honey, Things We Do for Love and Bedroom Farce for Alan Ayckbourn at the Stephen Joseph Theatre; Macbeth and The Norman Conquests (Leeds Playhouse); How The Other Half Loves (Theatre Royal, Windsor) and House and Garden (Salisbury). Her television includes Fraud Squad, Heartbeat, A Touch of Frost, The Quest and EastEnders and Joanna has also appeared in the film Sparkle. We caught up with Joanna this week, and was glad to hear that the loss of two cast members hasn’t overly affected the preparations. Joanna said: “There’s no under studies for these roles, so hopefully they can make it back in time! “But we have performed this play before and it has gone down very well with the audi-

Opera della Luna return to The Capitol with their production of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic HMS Pinafore. In true Opera della Luna style, a cast of multi-talented singer/actors become crew, chorus and principals in a brilliantly fast and hilarious production of this famous comic opera. Packed to the brim with toe-tapping tunes, the wit and verve of this production are proof of this company’s 15 years as the country's leading exponent of operetta and comic music theatre. Tickets: £20, concessions £18 Gordon Giltrap, one of the UK's greatest guitar legends, provides an evening celebrating four decades of extraordinary live music. From pop in the Sixties and Seventies, through the iconic BBC Holiday t h e m e Heartsong, to his many classic compositions, Gordon Giltrap is without doubt, a musical national treasure. Tickets: £16.50

The play has been well received by the critics ences. The idea doesn’t really sound like anything that new, but it’s just very light-hearted and good fun. “It’s just one woman who decides to take the advise of her friends quite literally, no matter what they suggest. When it happens in real life you don’t really listen, so this play sort of turns the tables on that!” It’s Never Too Late asks what happens when your husband leaves you for a younger woman? How do you kick start your life when you’ve never had to work? How do you cope with the realisation that time is not on your side? Susan Shaw, at 58, finds herself in exactly this situation. She’s run the home, brought up her daughter and had a very busy life involved with charities, village-hall committees etc.

Fellow committee members offer all kinds of advice ‘think of yourself… get fit…find yourself a toyboy’ Susan decides to take this action, and this very funny, and times very tender play follows Susan as she attempts a new start in life in the belief that “it’s never too late”, and culminates with her having to make a most unexpected choice. Theatre world Review critic Sheila Connor, said: “Perfectly performed, timed and delivered, all the performers were comfortable and convincing in their roles and the direction is perfectly paced with the laughter far outweighing the inevitable tears.” Tickets: £15 all seats, from the box office on 01403 750220 or online at www.thecapitolhorsham.com

Ruby Wax and Judith Owen star in this joint show of music and laughs. Ruby had it all – career, dream house, husband, kids – but people soon realised something was wrong when she painted her house the same colour beige for the 47th time. There was only one thing for it – send her to the Priory! Ruby Wax’s acerbic wit and worldly wisdom combined with Judith Owen’s touching and poignant songs create a show that is at once vulnerable and surprisingly thought-provoking as well as being laugh-out-loud funny.

The stunning variety and depth of floral colour at Leonardslee lakes & gardens is justifiably famous across the UK. Rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and magnolias, as well as fields of daffodils and bluebells, combine to create marvellous views at the Grade 1 listed gardens, the culmination of 200 years of imaginative gardening in one of the finest natural valley settings in south-east England. But it doesn’t all happen in one mad rush, even in a year when the extreme cold early on has delayed flowering in some species and a clement April is bringing others forward a little. “The cooler weather put back some of the flowers,” says Tom Loder, co-partner in running the estate, “and with a milder April, later flowering blooms should be less far behind, so we would be expecting quite a strong crescendo of flowers coming into May, unless the weather turns cooler again.” As April progresses, so does the carpet of colour emerging across this tranquil corner of

news

Spring d ra m a unfolds a t gard en s England. The dramatic blooms of the Cornish arboreum variety of rhododendron, intense pink contrasting vividly with the

deep green foliage, are starting to run riot on the slopes down from Middle Walk to the lakes. “These are some of the oldest and largest specimens we

have at Leonardslee,” explains Tom, “and were planted in what was then called the American Garden.” Both of Leonardslee’s

Camellia Walks are awash with several shades of red, creamy white and pink blooms, while the magnolias are still standing up well.

Leonardslee’s `Crown Jewel`, the Rock Garden is just awakening as deep red varieties of rhododendron, and some early flowering lilac azaleas put in an appearance before the rush of colour of early May. Just below the tea shop, the monumentally large cherry tree is saturated with heavy buds and should transform that corner of the gardens by this weekend. Begun in 1801 and bought by the Hubbard family in the 1850s, before Sir Edmund Loder acquired the grounds in 1889, Leonardslee boasts 225 acres in a paradise setting, complete with miles of romantic walks and paths, some with spectacular views of the valley and its lakes, many overhung with beautiful rhododendron blooms. The grounds open daily from 9.30am to 6pm, with last admission at 4.30pm but in the words of Tom’s father Robin, who ran the gardens for nearly 30 years, “Come early to enjoy the fragrance at its best.” For more information, call 01403 891212 or visit www.leonardsleegardens.com

From ashes to dashes The team at AAA2B might well have hung up the phone had they not known the caller! For under normal circumstances, it would have sounded like a hoax call. But indeed, regular customers Brian and Dany Lay’s request was genuine: “How much for a cab home from Venice?” As it turned out, the team at the taxi company’s Horsham base had been number crunching following a similar request from a couple stuck in Cyprus. It meant that when the Lays’ call came in, they were able to respond quickly.

“Dany said ‘call 242424’ and I thought she had picked up some Italian!”

Within a couple of hours, driver Tim Poole was on his way to Venice, the company having agreed to bring back

Brian - who is partially sighted - and Dany home to Horsham. Tim said: “They were quoted EUROS 6000 by a cab company in Venice and we did it for a third of the price.

“I arrived in Venice at 5.30am and Brian had sorted me out a hotel to sleep in. But it was right next to a church and the bells started ringing on the hour from 6am! So I slept

on and off for about five hours before getting up.” Tim strolled around Venice for a few hours, and picked up his wife a Gucci handbag (“genuine - not!” said Tim!) before

picking up his fare and heading home. He added: “If it was on the meter it would have been about £3,600 for the round trip. But if you think parking is

expensive here, you should go to Venice - £25 for seven hours!” Tamsen Poole of AAA2B added: “It just goes to show that our motto is true - anytime, anyplace, anywhere!” Speaking to The Resident, Brian Lay said: “It got to the point where we thought, ‘we’ve got a 13-year-old back home and we need to get home.’ “We queued at the train station but were told that the first available seats to Paris were eight days away. We could of caught a train to Brussels, but there was no way of knowing how to get home from there. “We looked at the cost of a Venetian taxi but were quoted £6,000 and we were having no luck in getting hold of (our travel operator). “Dany said ‘call 242424’ and I thought she had picked up some Italian! But then she said it was the number for AAA2B. From then on it was all action!” Dany said: “We hardly slept at all on the 17 hour trip home! It was certainly an interesting experience to have such a long trip with a total stranger!”

Maisie Raise the roof Review: Rock HYC

Returning to HYC, and performing alongside rival BOTB competitors Raising Maisie, Flight School Academy burst on to stage in a flurry of Nintendo-style keyboard melodies, rap and exuberance at the ROCK:HYC event held last Friday. The trio, from Crawley, were “excited” about the gig, hoping to improve on their last show with a tricky mix of hits, covers and new material. Bonding bubblegum pop and grime together so effortlessly, the lads performed a concoction of heavy baselines, phenomenally rapid vocals and sickly sweet keyboards, with lead vocalist, Jacob Fooks, varying his vocals constantly to keep the audience on their toes. A slow-moving crowd was transformed with FSA’s distorted mic-work, club-like beats and talented singing from Jacob into a clapping, swaying, screaming mob, especially when playing“Mr Bartender”.

Last Letter Read, who have several successful EP’s under their belt, brought pop and punk together in an energetic performance similar to Son of Dork and Blink 182. The talented fivesome started their set with a bang, getting the audience clapping and jumping within seconds of the bass playing and drums beating, demonstrating the strong following of dedicated fans the guys already have. The soft, haunting vocals of front man, Rob Bateman, were perfectly juxtaposed with the punk-tinged instrumentals, perfectly balancing toughness and musicality. Following on were four extremely talented lads... If you haven’t heard of FranKo before, that’s no big surprise; the quartet of talented musicians are more likely to be found performing in London clubs and pubs with their fragile, solemn and intimate lyrics and extraordinary, thunderous baselines after a rush of media-hype that flung

them onto the music scene. Jagged vocals from lead singer, Tommy Bastow, were reminiscent of Alex Turner and Paul Weller, and offered a contrast to the synth/pop vibe of the night in the form of 60’s melodies and raw Brit-pop. Thanking dedicated fans who attended ROCK:HYC with T-shirts and banners, the hype clearly hasn’t gone to these lads’ heads and it’s clear to see that they really love what they do as they returned to HYC and radiated their newly-released adrenaline-fuelled album whilst casting a spell over the audience members. New song, “Run” went down well with its slower tempo, stirring riffs and heavy beats, however, the lads ended on an up-beat, rocky-influenced journey through Tommy’s voice and range of guitar skills to end as they started! FranKo are definitely ones to watch out for, with their onstage enthusiasm and choreography, and catchy songs with memorable hooks. Check out their MySpace. In a society dominated by indie-rock, and pop becoming “the alternative”, Raising

Maisie break the mould and play the unforgettable “smileinducing” melodies that earnt them the title of Crawley BOTB winners. Playing the venue for the first time, the band showed no signs of nerves and instead said they “enjoy it too much to get nervous” and that they “thrive off the adrenaline of a live audience”. Winning the competition last year, with a little following was “humbling” for the lads,

who have now certainly secured legions of new fans with the selection of foot-tapping, feel-good songs they performed at the event.

Private Children Law: A legal Perspective, by Seymour Solicitors

Parenting is no child’s play Parental Responsibility As from 1st December 2003 the father of a child not married to the child’s mother at birth, but is registered on the birth certificate will have parental responsibility (PR). If the father is not registered or the child was born to unmarried parents before the above date the father may be able to obtain PR by consent of the mother, or by an application to the Court. Married parents both have PR. Step-parents A step-parent can acquire PR for a child born to their spouse. This can be by agreement of the parents or an order of the Court. This can be an alternative to adoption. The Court’s decision making power relating to children The following focuses on Children Act 1989 Section 8 Orders, being: 1. Residence 2. Contact 3. Prohibited Steps 4. Specific Issue They determine particular is-

sues relating to a child up to 16 or 18 years.

“Welfare principle” Relationship breakdown is emotional for all concerned, but often children suffer most. It is important to put the child first. The ‘welfare principle’ [Section 1(1) of the Children Act 1989] provides: “When a Court determines any question with respect to-(a) the upbringing of a child; or (b) the administration of the child’s property or the application of any income arising from it, the child’s welfare shall be the Court’s paramount consideration”

But what does this mean? Section 1(3) of the Children Act 1989 directs the Court to have regard to seven factors: 1. The ascertainable wishes and feelings of the child concerned (considering the child’s age and understanding) The wishes of an older or mature child will carry more weight but will not be determi-

native. In Re S (Contact: Children’s Views) [2002] EWHC 540 (Fam) the Court opined that if young people (in this case ages 14 and 16) are expected to respect the law, then the law should respect them and their wishes. 2. The child’s physical, emotional and educational needs The Judge will consider accommodation, medical needs, education and the child’s relationship with siblings (and others) as well as the overall impact of the Order sought. The Court does not equate ma-

Divorce & Co-habitation Finances Following Separation Prenuptial & Separation Agreements Children Matters Tax & VAT Disputes Wills, Probate & Trust Litigation Insolvency & Bankruptcy Personal Injury & Civil Litigation Professional & Clinical Negligence Private Criminal Representation

terial wealth with welfare. 3. The likely effect on the child of any change in circumstances If arrangements for a child are working the Judge will be reluctant to direct change without good reason. 4. The child’s age, sex, background and any characteristics of the child which the Court considers relevant Age will be important in determining who the child should live with, more so when the case concerns a baby as they often need to live with their mothers. The Court in Re W (A

Minor)(Residence Order) [1992] 2 FLR 332 said there is no presumption of law that a child of any age should live with one parent instead of the other, but no Court should be ignorant of the natural position. When children are older their wishes are listened to as they can often cope living with either parent. The child’s sex, culture, race and religion must also be considered. 5. Any harm that the child has suffered or is at risk of suffering Harm to a child can be physical and or psychological and may also be caused by not seeing both parents. 6. How capable each of the child’s parents (and any other person) is of meeting the child’s needs. The Judge will consider the competing claims of the proposed carers and their ability to look after the child. The parents’ conduct is relevant, whether they work, their psychological and physical health. In Re B (A Child) [2009] UK SC

5 the Supreme Court said it should not be assumed that it is in the best interests of a child to live with a biological parent and that the Judge must consider the child’s best interests. 7. The range of powers available to the Court in the proceedings in question. The Court has the power to make any order, in favour of any person, irrespective of the order that is sought, taking into account the welfare of the child. All the above factors will be weighed by the Judge when making a decision. An Order will not be made unless there is a positive need for an Order i.e. to benefit the child (Section 1(5) Children Act 1989). This is the ‘no order principle’. If you need assistance with children matters or a wide range of relationship issues then please do not hesitate to contact the author.

Mortgage with a barcode? Dale Jannels AToM It is said that homeowners consider buying a house to be more stressful than having a child. House buying tops the table of ‘most stressful life experiences’ with almost one in four (24%) of homeowners describing it as the most demanding and worrying thing they have ever done, according to research from Unbiased.co.uk To compound this, it is still first time buyers who are often hardest hit as they need a substantial deposit merely to get on the housing ladder and a significantly larger deposit if they want to access the best rates. According to creditaction, the typical first time buyer deposit in January was 25%

(£38,348), with the average first time buyer loan being £115,044 equating to an average of 3.08 times their income. The reality continues with a YouGov survey revealing that 86% of 18-30 years olds, who do not own their own home, could not currently afford to buy one even if they wanted to, despite recent falls in house prices. A massive 83% of 18-30 year olds also thought buying a new home was now becoming more of a dream than a reality. But that shouldn’t be so! With the recent suspension of Stamp Duty below a purchase price of £250k, the current lower property prices and with more and more lenders looking to assist First Time Buyers with high loan to value mortgages plus other options, including Guarantor mortgages and Shared Ownership schemes, you really need to do your research. Meanwhile, according to the latest Halifax House Price Index, house prices increased by 1.1% in March, partly offsetting February’s 1.6% fall. This rise was the eighth in the past nine months, taking the average house price to £168,521 So, whilst it is great that house price confidence appears to be on the increase, we still need lenders to provide

the mortgage financing required to support it by helping the first timers to get on the ladder and thus helping to stimulate higher levels of purchase transactions. Although, more recently, we have seen signs of some smaller lenders showing an appetite to lend and provide innovative solutions. Have you heard of ‘Complex Prime’ mortgages? These are designed for applicants who, for whatever reason, fail to match up to a lenders ‘black box’ credit scoring system through lack of credit, not on the voters role, etc. The applicants must have a clean credit history, be able to prove affordability and the maximum loan available will be 75% of the property value. An increasing number of smaller lenders are now manually assessing such cases. It is definitely worth a call to see if this fits your personal needs. Finally, Tesco Bank has confirmed plans to launch its own mortgage range by the end of 2010 as it eyes up building the brand into a fully-fledged retail bank. So, whilst you are picking up your cornflakes, butter, bananas and sausages, you can soon throw a mortgage into your basket as well. I wonder if it will have a barcode so you can scan it in at the self-service check out?

Cuts on headline deals Clive Hancocks

Clive comments on the formal announcement by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown that the General Election is to be held on Thursday 6th May

Morgage Solutions Limited

The election will be dominating proceedings and it is therefore no surprise that the Bank Base Rate has once again been retained at half of one percent (0.5%) for the thirteenth month. It has been reported that growth in the UK economy appears to be performing better than many of our competitors and inflation has recently reported to have fallen back from the 3.5% to 3%. The early part of April has seen a drop in the number of mortgage products typically available from the numbers witnessed in early to mid March. Although overall product numbers have reduced marginally, a number of lenders have continued to cut the rates on their headline products thereby continuing to offer some great deals to prospective borrowers. Product numbers in the all important first time buyer sector (90% LTV) have actually increased slightly from last month although it must be said that lenders both in this sector and in general remain very cautious in their assessment of a borrower’s suitability. The first time buyer sector

Will Gordon Brown’s recent Stamp Duty changes help kick-start the property market?

has had further support with the surprise announcement in the recent budget from the Chancellor of the waiving of Stamp Duty for all first time buyers for property purchases up to £250,000. With the recent end of the previous stamp duty holiday at the end of December 2009, many would be first time buyers will have felt that they had missed out on the savings that the stamp duty holiday offered. The new initiative now potentially provides them with up to an extra £2,500 that they

can use to contribute towards their property purchase price or put towards conveyancing costs, valuation and survey fees, mortgage application fees, removal costs etc. This additional financial incentive for some may also mean being able to take out a mortgage at a lower loan to value and as a consequence pay a reduced rate of interest. Re-mortgage levels continue to remain steady but lenders are continuing to sharpen their propositions to attract new borrowers in this area. Borrowers during March

continued to favour tracker (variable rate) mortgages slightly over fixed rates with approximately 54% opting for trackers versus 46% choosing fixes but as we draw nearer to an inevitable rise in interest rates we do expect to see more borrowers opt for fixed rates in future.

Clive Hancocks is from Mortgage Solutions Limited based at 13 West Street, Horsham. To make a no obligation appointment to see how the latest base rate decision affects you call 01403 241414

Indestructible!

Leader of the pa ck The Ford Fiesta has become Europe’s best-selling car, beating the Volkswagen Golf into second place in both March 2010 and year-to-date sales, according to latest figures. In total, 68,630 Fiestas were sold in March 2010, a 25.8% rise in sales compared to March 2009 and 11,785 more than Volkswagen’s second-placed Golf. Year-to-date, Fiesta is also ahead, selling 140,496 to Golf’s 135,048, reversing the picture from the start of 2009. Fiesta’s achievement is even more impressive considering Golf sales also increased during last month and the year’s first quarter. Fiesta sales simply outpaced Golf, with its move to pole position particularly due to its strong March sales in the UK (+14.7%) and Italy (+87%), where 57% of all Fi-

estas sold (11,251) were LPG-powered. “What may appear to be a sudden change in fortunes is actually a continuing trend,” explained David Di Girolamo, Head of JATO Consult. “Fiesta has been closing the gap to Golf through 2010 and there are a number of factors behind this. The buoyant sales markets so far this year are those where Fiesta is popular and are also scrappage-influenced markets, driving purchase of small cars. “In the UK, March marked a registration change and the final month of Britain’s scrappage scheme, while in Italy, March was the last month of 2010 in which scrappage sales could be registered. “The last time Fiesta was ahead of Golf in Europ e a n sales

was March 2009, so it remains to be seen whether it can hold top position this time round.” The encouraging news for the wider industry will be the net 9.8% uplift in March sales across Europe (+9.6% YtD), with Germany the only major market not posting a sales increase for the month. Most improved in the month’s top ten was the new model Opel/ Vauxhall Astra, which saw a 42.9 overall March sales rise, aided greatly by a 75.9% uplift in the UK, where it was the third best-selling car. Ford has also secured the top spot in the March brand chart, on its Fiesta success – 1,818 sales ahead of Volkswagen in March, whilst also closing the year-to-date gap to its German rival. March was a less successful month for Fiat and

Toyota, as both slipped in sales, losing 4.3% and 12.4%, respectively. Top 10 Models

FORD FIESTA 68,630 (+25.8% ) VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 56,845 (+18.0%) RENAULT CLIO 43,879 (+38.8%) VAUXHALL CORSA 41,724 (+2.8%) PEUGEOT 207 40,895 (+3.8% ) FORD FOCUS 39,661 (+14.2% ) OPEL/VAUXHALL ASTRA 39,121 (+42.9%) VOLKSWAGEN POLO 36,922 (+3.9%) FIAT PUNTO 31,646 (+15.5% ) FIAT PANDA 30,483 (9.5%)

A new chapter has been written in the worldconquering history of Toyota’s mighty Hilux as it took on the ice and fire of Iceland’s Eyjafallajökull volcano (so that’s why we’ve simply been referring to it as the ‘Icelandic volcano’!), just hours before its eruption brought chaos to the skies of Europe. The legendary pick-up that Top Gear simply could not destroy and which was the first car to be driven across the Arctic to the Magnetic North Pole proved the perfect transport for scientists racing to set up monitoring equipment before the long-dormant mountain blew its top and sent a vast cloud of ash 30,000 feet into the sky.

Citroën has revealed the spectacular new Metropolis - a sleek and muscular concept car that pays homage to China’s extraordinary development. Created by Citroën’s international design team based in Shanghai since 2008 - Metropolis will be on show in the French Pavilion at the Shanghai World Fair from 1st May to 31st October, 2010.

Poor Toyota! There’s no let up. This week Toyota announced it would make a voluntary recall of around 7.500 units of Toyota Land Cruiser 150 (Prado) and Lexus GX 460 in Europe in order to carry out a reprogramming of the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) software to improve its responsiveness in “very limited circumstances”.

President, said: ‘Innovation and intelligence are the keywords for our new Alhambra.” And we’ll leave it at that if he’s simply going to say buzzwords! Intelligence? Would it win a pub quiz? Anyway, measuring 4.85 metres bumper to bumper the new Alhambra is 22 centimetres longer than its predecessor, while it is also wider by nine centimetres. There’s plenty of room for adults to sit comfortably, even in the third row, while the large sliding doors (with optional electric operation) allow especially easy entry. Luggage space is more than generous, too. When configured as a five-

seater the new SEAT has 885 litres of load space available, which grows to a cavernous maximum of 2,297 litres if only the front two seats are in use. Central to the new car’s development has been the intelligent and extremely versatile seating concept – the new Alhambra comes with seating for five, six or seven. Unlike its predecessor if more storage room is called for the second and third-row seats need no longer be removed; instead, they can be sunk easily into the vehicle floor using the “EasyFold” sys-

tem. Beneath its attractive skin, the Alhambra is new in every detail and equipped with state-of-theart technology throughout. First and foremost there’s the new engine line-up, where the TSI and both TDI power units are equipped with direct fuel injection and turbocharging. The TSI unit delivers 150 PS, while the two TDI engines offer 140 PS and 170 PS. Further efficiency meas-

Big Screen Legends

The Bourne Identity 1969 Mini The 2002 film The Bourne Identity really only gets going with the superb car chase through the streets of Paris. The car, a 1969 Mini, is driven by Bourne, played by Matt Damon. Although the eagle eyed amongst you may see that at one point the word ‘Cooper’ on the steering whell changes to ‘ Mini’ in some scenes! That’s because, as producer Frank Marshall said, they used five Minis for the chase.

He said: “The thing that the Mini has going for it is that it is an outrageously small car, perfect for getting out of a tight spot or speeding through European alleyways and down some steep concrete stairs. In effect, it's perfect for a high-speed chase in a spy thriller.” The acclaimed car chase sequence was filmed primarily by the second unit under director Alexander Witt. The unit shot in various locations around Paris while Liman was filming the main

story arc elsewhere in the city. The finished footage was eventually edited together to create the illusion of a coherent journey. Liman confessed that "anyone who really knows Paris will find it illogical", since few of the locations used in the car chase actually connect to each other. It is thought that four of the five Minis were destroyed during the filming, and one remains with the studio.

ures fitted as standard include a Start-Stop system and brake energy recovery technology. These guarantee refined pulling power alongside exceptional economy. With an average fuel consumption of more than 51 mpg and CO2 emissions of just 143 g/km, the 140 PS SEAT Alhambra 2.0 TDI sets a clear benchmark in its class. ne of the world’s cleanest MPVs. The new Alhambra goes on sale from this summer.

RS goes faster

All 101 Ford Focus RS500 models were snapped up by UK fast Ford fans within days of launch. But Ford is responding to the ‘intense’ customer demand with an officially-approved Focus RS performance upgrade kit. Ford Focus RS owners can now give their ‘regu-

lar’ 305PS superhatch an extra 45PS and 20Nm of torque. The MP350 RS upgrade kit is £1,995, including VAT. Further details are at www.mountuneperformance.com. Whatever happened to upgrading with ‘go faster’ stripes?

It’s obvious there’ll be no ‘cuddly’ monsters along the lines of the Slitheen in his first season; instead, the Doctor and Amy will only be facing screamingly terrifying beasties. So far they’ve tackled a shape-shifter, the hideous Smilers and the unrelentingly hideous Daleks. Their latest foes are the Weeping Angels, which were created by Moffat himself.

This final episode proves to be Foyle’s most personal case yet. The detective is ready to leave; it’s his last day and his replacement has even arrived. However, when he reads about a member of a distinguished Hastings family set to hang for treason Foyle decides he might have time for just one last case, and visits the accused, James Devereaux, in his cell, where he finds a damaged young man who appears intent on self destruction. But in the course of his investigation to clear James’s name, Foyle makes discoveries that shock him to the core.

Out of Lux On Sunday, Horsham Rugby Under 10s hosted CSCE Luxembourg, who were on their British tour. Joe Blake set a standard with a quick try to start, which was rapidly followed by Lewis Kirby, who wove through the CSCE defence to score. The Lions notched up another 4 tries, one scored by Vince Everitt, another by Hayden Brock who drove straight though the opposition, and a further try each for Blake and Kirby. The second game, between CSCE and a mixed team of Tigers and Lions players, was certainly not disappointing. Joe Blake made every second count with a dash to the try line early in the game. Vince Everitt and Oscar Quigley scored further tries, the result of fearless ramming and driving. Hayden Brock scored a final try and secured a convincing win against CSCE. The last game was the first 12-a-side game with conversions and a 5-man scrum played by this group of Under 10s. Joe Blake got things off to a flying start, once again, with a long run to the try line. CSCE fought back soon after, where David Ascoli accomplished the initial try for CSCE. Max Vigor acquired the sought after conversion for CSCE. Oscar Quigley and Vince Everitt, who were placed on the CSCE side to make up numbers, scored a fighting 2 tries to aid CSCE but unfortunately, both conversions failed to result in points. Hayden Brock responded with an awesome final try, which was swiftly followed by an outstanding conversion by Joe Blake. It was a good day in which both teams had good fun. CSCE Luxembourg have invited Horsham back to Luxembourg, hopefully for next year, when they look forward to more exciting matches.

A painful lesson

Wealdstone maintained their outside hopes of promotion after condemning Horsham to a fifth home defeat in six games with a comfortable 3-1 win at a sunny Gorings Mead. A brace of stunning strikes from Matt McClure set the Stones on their way to victory, the striker beating Josh Pelling from distance in each half, and although Pat Harding reduced the deficit with his 25th goal of the season the visitors hit back immediately with a close range volley from Chris O'Leary to restore their 2 goal lead. Ben Andrews saw a free-kick well kept out by goalkeeper Sean Thomas but McClure might have grabbed his hat-trick late on when another long range effort skimmed the crossbar.

A Cracking performance from Partridge Green saw them pick up their first win for some time at Faygate in Division One. After a slow start from both teams it was Green that found themselves in front with an absolute rocket from Ben Whales. Both teams missed good chances in the first half. Greens’ Ant Fitton came closest with a volley against the bar. Faygate started the second half strongly, but with some extremely good defensive work led by man of the match Andy Todd, Green managed to soak up the pressure. Faygate remained strong throughout the second half but Green were happy to hit Faygate on the break, and were unlucky not to double their lead after Ben Whales

was denied by the bar.

AFC Roffey's slim chances of promotion all but evaporated as they were held to bottom of the league Horsham Olympic in this local derby AFC were looking to put their poor run of form behind them with an improved team performance, but after just 17 seconds on the clock what was said in the changing room went completely of the window as Olympic took a shock lead straight from kick off. On probably one of the worst playing surfaces in West Sussex, AFC’s response couldn't have been better when less than a minute later Oli Smith’s cross found Scott Shorey who headed in from close range. Shorey put AFC in front on five minutes with his second but just before the break AFC switched off again and this allowed the Olympic forward to equalise just before half time. After the re-start both teams struggled to play any type of football due to the long grass, but it was the home side who were on top and their fighting spirit and performance defied their league position. But on the counter attack and against the run of play AFC took the lead again following a fine left footed strike from full back Barry Ashton. With neither team looking threatening it looked like Roffey would take the points but with five minutes left to play a fine strike from distance from the impressive Olympic midfielder caught Dan

Small off guard to give the home side a share of the points.

Cowfold Reserves confirmed promotion to Division Two with a great 5-0 win over Horsham Baptists. Fold started well and should have taken the lead within the first minute but Mike Nash’ shot s rolled the wrong side of the post. Fold finally got the lead they deserved when Dean Robinson’s pass set Chris Bellison free down the right hand side and his cross was met at the back post by Scott Lancastle to tap in after 20 minutes. Ant Parsons then put Bellison clean through, and he lobbed the on-rushing keeper to make it two. Bellison and Lancastle then combined well and released Nash who smashed his shot home for the third to cap off a great 15 minute spell for Fold. The second half saw no let up for Baptists with Fold pushing hard to get more goals and it wasn’t long before the Baptist keeper was picking the ball out of the net again when Nash floated a ball to the far post for Tommy Whiting to hit an unstoppable volley into the top corner. Baptists were then unlucky not to get on the score sheet when the forward went to tap into an empty net, but Jamie Tullett stretched out a leg to make a great challenge. Whiting then finished Baptists off with another great strike from 25 yards to seal the win.

Horsham Juventus reached their second final of the season with a

fine 6-1 victory over Sunday Premier Division side Arun Athletic thanks to five goals from Josh Archer. After last week’s great victory Juventus started off the slower of the two sides but once they did they were dictating the play from start to finish. They went ahead when Josh Archer found space and beat the visitors’ keeper at his near post. Archer doubled the lead when a Shaun Findlay cross was only cleared to the edge of the area and he blasted into the top corner. Juve were looking comfortable and a defensive mix up between Dan Wennington and Goalkeeper Matt Gilard gifted Arun a way back into the game. In the second half Josh Archer scored his hat-trick when a Tommy Di Martino through ball found him in the area to toe-poke past the keeper. Archer again was involved in the play when he was put through by Charlie Hodgson and with a outrageous chip left the keeper no chance. By this stage Arun were playing for pride and when a Di Martino corner was headed in by Dan Wennington, his first for Horsham Juve, the game was over. Man of the Match Archer scored his fifth when a Bissett long ball found him in space and he rounded the keeper to tap in and put Juve into the final of the Invitation Cup. Juventus also won in the local derby on Thursday night by beating Southwater 3-0, with goals from Shaun Findlay, Ben Bissett and Andrea Ruffolo.

Southwater hit for 6 Tim Martin put in an impressive shift for Cowfold

Cowfold produced a dominant display to see off the threat of Southwater in the West Sussex Premier Division on Monday night. Southwater took a shock firstminute lead but from then on the home team were rarely troubled, eventually running out 6-1 winners. Admittedly, the scoreline flattered the hosts a little, as Southwater had put up a spirited performance in the first half, but they were crushed by a powerful second half Cowfold display typified by the hard-working strike partnership of Tim Martin and Nigel Smith. In fact, it took an incredible effort from James Wrigley to equalise Matt Brabon’s early goal for Southwater, the visitors’ captain taking advantage of a kind bounce and a fortunate ricochet to head home. Ten minutes later, Wrigley took advantage of a poor clearance from ‘Water keeper Mark Hallett, his shot all of 30 yards from goal and way out on the touchline coming down with snow on it but falling directly into the net. Another error in Southwater’s defence led to the hosts taking the lead. Nigel Smith saw his shot bounce off the bar and fall kindly for strike partner Tim Martin to head home. In the second half Cowfold totally dominated and were soon creating excellent openings, but Southwater did nearly equalise when both Brabon and Danny Humphreys had efforts cleared in

a goalmouth scramble. But from then on, there was little evidence of the intricate passing displayed by Southwater in the first half, and they rarely threatened. It was Tim Martin who increased the lead with his second goal after being set up by Ben Tucker. Again it came courtesy of a fumble from the goalkeeper, but Martin showed great goalscorer’s instinct to poke home through a sea of defenders. Martin almost claimed a hat-trick, firing against the post when running on to a neat through ball, but it was strike partner Smith who deservedly got on the scoresheet with Cowfold’s fourth. It was like watching Arsenal as Smith calmly went around the ‘keeper, seemingly waited for the defence to

get back, then rounded another man before producing a clinical finish. The fifth was drilled home by Dan Dalton for his second goal in two games and the scoring was c o m -

pleted by Mike Nash, a regular goal scorer for the Reserves, who headed home his first goal for the first team. Southwater almost pulled back a consolation, with Ben Watkins hitting the post after cleverly diverting Greg Brabon’s wayward shot. The result leaves Southwater in relegation trouble, while Cowfold still have an outside chance of finishing runners-up to Newtown Villa, in what’s been an incredible year for the club.

Southwater’s Matt Waters could do little about Cowfold’s attacking flair on Monday night

Work Cup format for Bradley event Last year’s winners, the charmingly named Shachtar Senseless

Horsham footballers are invited to enter the six-a-side football tournament in memory of Bradley Rooke, who died tragically in 2006. The event has grown in each of the last three years and this year estate agents Brock Taylor have taken the organisation of the event under their wing and will be donating all the money raised directly into their Community Trust Fund, which helps charities in the local area. Alex Bethell of Brock Taylor and a close friend of Bradley Rooke said:

“Bradley was a fun guy who would be amazed to see how much money the people in Sussex have raised by playing football”. The tournament takes on a World Cup format this year, and team names will be drawn on the 12th May in Bar Vin. There is still space for more though so get in touch if you want

to join the fun. Teams can be a maximum of eight players and need to contribute £80 per squad which includes the cost of their shirt. To take part, please contact alex.bethell@brocktaylor.co.uk Brock Taylor is also looking for raffle prizes to use for the charity auction which will take place at the event. Anything would be greatly appreciated and all proceeds will go directly in to the Community Fund.

Laker leaves it late The game finished 1-1 which meant that Horsham got the point they needed to win the title with four games in hand.

Youth Football Southwater U15 and Lindfield played out a Mid Sussex Sunday league Cup final that would have graced any pitch. As it turned out the pitch they were on was very hard and bobbly, but this didn't stop both sides playing some attractive and flowing football.

Southwater looked the more dangerous, but found it difficult to get past a stubborn Lindfield defence. As for most of the season, the Southwater defence was outstanding with centre-backs Alex Best and Alex Southon (Capt) dealing with the aerial threat and pace of the Lindfield strikers while Elliott Wallace stopped the threat down the right-wing. It wasn't until inside the last

Southwater Under 15s won the Mid Sussex Cup against Lindfield 10 minutes that the deadlock was broken. A through ball from Man of the Match Jack Surlis found Adam Laker on the edge of the box, who turned sharply to wrong foot the defender, took another touch before shooting across the keeper to score. Despite a few close chances

created by Lindfield, Southwater finished 1-0 winners. Southwater Manager, Jeff Bryant, said: "The boys showed a lot of patience and performed well in the difficult conditions. They stuck to their task and were a credit to the club."

Roffey were 6-0 up at half time, with goals from around the park. George Hole got the ball rolling, finishing with a neat side foot volley from a corner, and Zac Malinsky bundled in number two, also from a corner. Max Lewis’ shot from 12 yards was unstoppable, Dan Goddard then headed in from yet another corner, George Hole got his second from a Dan Goddard cross, and Connor Pollard beat the keeper with a neat chip from the edge of the

box to make it 6-0. Heron pulled one back just before the break, then added a second after the restart, but Matt Sigrist drove a power shot in from a tight angle, and Zac Malinsky added his second to complete the rout.

On a Sunday afternoon when the weather was more appropriate for cricket, Horsham Yth Under 14s entertained Bognor Regis Town Colts. Needing only a point to win the title Bognor did everything they could to stop Horsham. With just over five minutes gone in the second half Horsham were on the attack but lost the ball just outside the Bognor area and Bognor pumped the ball forward and chipped the ball in. Horsham pressed on and got their equaliser in the 60th minute with a well taken goal by George Hole. Horsham tried to get a winner but it would not come.

Horsham Sparrows U12's Girls played their penultimate game of the season against Worthing Divas. Due to some members of the squad trying to rack up some additional air miles whilst on holiday, and trying to blame it on some sort of Volcano action in Iceland, Sparrows only had 8 players to pick from! Divas knew if they won today, the title would be theirs, and if Sparrows won they too had a chance to take the crown. The game was fairly evenly matched in the first hal but Sparrows lacked the finishing touch up front. They lost the first half 3 – 0 but won the second half 1 – 0, with Keyannea scoring from the penalty spot. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a double header so Sparrows came away empty handed and drop to 4th place in the league. But a win next week means they could still end the season as runners-up. Coach Tony Monella said: “To be honest, if someone had told me we would be finishing the season that high up the table at the start of the season, I would have not believed them. But the girls have dug deep all season and produced some outstanding football and deserve the praise that other teams have thrown our way. “If we win next weekend, we finish this campaign in second place, runners up. Coming second isn’t too bad as next season we have something to improve on!” If any Year 7 girl would like to join Sparrows as the team moves from 7-a-side to 11-aside, contact Chris Cooper at chris@chronweb.fsnet.co.uk or 07906469325

Horsham may not have put many points on the board, but there was no lack of effort against high-flying Brighton on Saturday

Great character in defeat The Big Match Report: Nick Hind Pictures: Chris Woolgar

London 3 South East Horsham v Brighton Horsham left every ounce of blood and sweat on the pitch in their final league game of the season against a slick Brighton XV, going down 3 – 55 at the Coolhurst Ground. A brave and dogged performance saw the Greens restrict a formidable, table topping opponent to just a 170 lead at half time before finally succumbing to a glut of late tries in the final quarter. Horsham scrapped for every inch right from the off, fronting up to an explosive adversary who oozed class from 1 – 15. Good spoiling work from Hor-

sham restricted the visitors to a midfield battle for the first quarter, with Flanker, Coalen Cotter in particular showing good disruptive work at the breakdown. But it was only a matter of time before Brighton crossed over the white line. And a dynamic backs move from the back of a scrum saw full-back, Nick Cherry, touch down for the opening try. And a healthy crowd of supporters feared for the flood gates when a bulldozing run from Brighton Lock, Gareth Eddy, saw him take on and con-

quer four Horsham tackles before arrogantly smiling as he scored the second of Brighton’s eight tries. Unfazed by the task in hand, Horsham battled on gallantly, and should have been rewarded for good pressure towards the end of the half. Stringing several probing phases together, they managed to get within a couple of metres of the visitors line, but a well drilled defence was not to be breached. The Greens continued the good work early in the second period, controlling possession and territory, but were unable to find the right line for a break, or overpower a massive pack for the push over. So it was left to Hooker, Rob Grantham-Hill, to secure Horsham’s solitary points for the afternoon. Ball in hand, just outside the 22, he looked leftnothing on, he looked rightnothing on, so decided to have

a pop at the drop goal. The ball flew majestically, end over end, right through the middle of the posts- well actually, it flew like a lead balloon and only just had the legs. But as Rob would tell you, they all count, and he took on the applause from both sets of supporters as if he does that sort of thing every game! Unfortunately, that was as good as it would get for Horsham. F r o m there on

in a slick and inventive Brighton s i d e t o o k total control

of the game, running in another six tries as home legs tired and gaps in the defence began to appear. The score suggested it was a mismatch, and it was to the eye also, but Horsham’s spirit and dogged determination was highlighted by both side’s management teams. Brighton forward coach, Fin Macmillan, praised their opponent’s efforts saying: “All credit to Horsham. We trained for this one with our same high intensity as we knew they were capable and would never give in.” Head of Horsham, Nick Stocker, said: ‘I wanted us to finish the season on a positive, and although the score doesn’t reflect that, the manner of the defeat and the character the guys showed was top draw, which gives us plenty to build on going into the next campaign.’

Jolyon top of the World

Jolyon Palmer leads the World Formula Two Championship after recording a race win in the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening race at Silverstone. He becomes the first British winner in F2 since his dad Jonathan won back in 1983. The Southwater racer, who struggled for points in the same series last year, finished less than a second behind Philipp Eng is Race Two. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly chuffed here at The Resident - having devoted two pages to Jolyon last week we would have felt a bit silly if he came home 18th!
