At least nine schools in Horsham district will be closed next Thursday, June 30, as a result of strike action by teachers.

The Forest School, Millais School, Tanbridge House School and Kingslea Primary School in Horsham will give their pupils an unexpected day off.

Holy Trinity Primary School in Lower Beeding, Jolesfield Primary School in Partridge Green, Rydon Community College in Storrington, St Andrew’s Primary School in Steyning and Steyning Grammar School will also be shut for the day.

Colgate Primary School will only be open for one class – Cedar Class, mixed Y4/5 – while three classes will be closed at St Mary’s Primary School in Pulborough.

KS2 classes at Upper Beeding Primary School will not be open, but Reception and KS1 classes there will be open as usual.

The disruption follows ballots in favour of industrial action by the National Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) over the future of pensions.

Fifty-nine schools in West Sussex are so far known to be affected – and the number was continuing to rise as The Resident went to press.

We broke the news of many closures on our website, www.theresident.co.uk – and a Facebook link to our story sparked a heated debate with more than 80 comments so far.

Cliff Purvis, chair of governors at The Forest School, said in a letter to parents on Wednesday: “This action is not against the school itself, but is part of national industrial action organised by these trades unions about changes to the pension schemes of their members.

“Neither the governing body nor the head teacher is legally allowed to close the school ‘in sympathy’ with the strike and we will not do so.

“Our main concern is the safety of the pupils. There will be insufficient staff in school to ensure our pupils’ health and safety and I have therefore agreed with the head teacher that the school should be closed to pupils on June 30.

“This date falls in the middle of our activities week. I am pleased to confirm that all the proposed trips and visits, both locally and internationally, will take place as arranged.

“All members of staff supervising residential trips are in a position of ‘duty of care’ towards the pupils and cannot therefore take industrial

Jules White, head teacher of Tanbridge House School

action on the day, unless they withdraw from the whole trip. No one has withdrawn.

“We must all hope that the issues over which the industrial action has arisen are resolved as soon as possible.”

Jules White, head teacher of Tanbridge House School, told parents in a letter: “Approximately 70 per cent of teaching colleagues will not be at work.

Many teachers cannot ‘afford a 50 per cent

increase in their pension contributions

’

“After consultation with governors and undertaking a thorough risk assessment I have decided to close the school.

“At this stage even a partial opening to support the learning of a single year group is deemed to carry too much potential risk to students and colleagues who are not involved in the industrial action.

“I am pleased to confirm, however, that the scheduled Army Live Day will still take place for selected students as scheduled and our evening performance of Evita will not be affected.”

Millais School did not comment before our print deadline. Christ’s Hospital School declined to comment but may remain open.

The NUT’s pension ballot showed 92 per cent of those who voted were

in favour of strike action.

Christine Blower, general secretary of the NUT, said: “Teachers do not take strike action lightly, but the overwhelming support for action by NUT members shows that teachers feel what is happening to their pensions is wrong.

“The government cannot say that the Teachers’ Pensions Scheme (TPS) is unaffordable.

“The NUT agreed to changes in 2007 which increased contributions and retirement ages, capped employers’ contributions and accepted that teachers might pay more in future if they need to.

“We believe these have ensured the long-term sustainability of the scheme, as does the National Audit Office which says costs are falling as planned.

“The government should carry out the valuation of the TPS, now a year overdue, instead of making these unnecessary and unsupported proposals.

“The simple truth is that many teachers cannot afford a 50 per cent increase in their pension contributions.

“NUT surveys show that many teachers will leave the scheme and even leave the profession. The government needs to address these issues in its negotiations.

“The NUT believes teachers’ pensions are affordable. We have been prepared to negotiate and agree reforms in the past. The government should stick to the agreements made in 2007, not try to ride roughshod over them.”

News

It’s now or never to have a say They were met by Cllr Peter Evans, from the county council’s Cabinet, county transport manager Andy Ekinsmyth and transport planner David Crockford.

Cllr Evans accepted delivery of a letter marked “complaint” and addressed to Cllr Louise Goldsmith, leader of the council.

This contains the campaigners’ argument that the bus-cutting budget is unfair and has been carried out without the due care and attention that West Sussex residents expect.

Their aim is to have the decision to cut rural bus services reconsidered, ultimately saving many bus routes such as the Cowfold Metrobus 86.

Council officers invited the group inside County Hall, where a room had been made available for the group to discuss its concerns.

Mr Crockford told them the council had received more than 4,000 letters, emails and phone calls about bus cuts, adding: “As transport planners we are pleased to see the strength of feeling that the public have about this. It shows they care about bus travel.”

Matthew James News Editor

Today (Friday) is the final day to have your say about proposed cuts to more than 60 bus services in West Sussex.

The county council plans to remove or reduce the services in October as part of its plan to reduce overall spending by £79 million over the next three years.

But campaigners from Cowfold marched through Chichester city centre with placards and banners displaying the words: “Our taxes, our future, hands off our bus!”

They received honks of support from car, bus and lorry drivers, cheers from young mums, and smiles, thumbs up and ‘verbal toots’ from shoppers and market stall holders.

The under-threat 86 service serves Horsham, Southwater, West Grinstead, Partridge Green, Shermanbury, Cowfold, Bolney, Ansty, Cuckfield including Warden Park School, and Haywards Heath including the Princess Royal Hospital.

Council office staff described the group as “small but effective” as campaigners stood outside Eades House on West Street on a miserably wet morning, then chanted on the front steps of County Hall.

Liberal Democrats have criticised the county council’s decision to slash funding for post-16 students travelling to college.

Assistance with transport for students without special educational needs will end from this September, except for students who are already part way through a course.

Many parents of students with special educational needs will be charged £360 towards transport costs when they start a new course.

But this charge will not apply to

low-income families who are eligible to receive free school meals.

The decisions are expected to save the Conservative-controlled council about £300,000 and raise about £80,000 in extra income.

But Cllr James Walsh, deputy leader of the Lib Dem group, said: “This once again hits at those on lower incomes, will reduce choice of courses and ultimately lead to a lowering of the skill levels of many pupils in West Sussex.

“It is all down to the excessive zeal

of the Tory-controlled county council making cuts too soon and too deep.”

The Liberal Democrat council group tried to get the decision calledin for a rethink, but the request was refused on the casting vote of a Conservative committee chairman.

Cllr Walsh added: “They clearly don’t want to have their proposals examined in close detail and opened up to full scrutiny, especially when many of the proposed alternatives are not yet in place.”

Partnership set to tackle issues The new Horsham Town Community Partnership is preparing an action plan of projects to tackle.

The neighbourhood councils of Forest, Trafalgar and Denne, the Horsham Society, Horsham in Bloom and other voluntary groups were approached by Horsham District Council last year to see if they were interested in creating a community partnership.

Residents gave an overwhelming thumbs-up to the idea during a consultation exercise which started in East Street last October.

Jane Apostolou, chairman of Denne Neighbourhood Council, said: “Having received the backing of Horsham’s residents, we are proceeding with setting up the partnership.

“The main concerns were issues around promotion of the town, keeping and protecting community facilities, community safety issues, community transport, keeping and maintaining youth facilities, issues around lost post office facilities and improvements for disadvantaged groups.

“We held a successful workshop attended by volunteers, district and county councillors, police, professional representatives involved in education, youth services and services helping elderly residents, representatives working with disabled residents, representatives concerned with environmental issues and other voluntary group representatives.

“At this workshop we worked on ideas for projects that could address the main issues of concern.”

Five’s 999 mission to Mongolia News in Brief These five young men are preparing to drive to Mongolia in an old ambulance.

Ashley Dale, Luke Gowers and Max Stocker, all 21, Alex Garrow and Chris Pearce, both 20, will spend five weeks travelling 10,000 miles through 15 countries.

Their trek is in aid of the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation, a charity which looks after children who have often been given a rough hand in life in Mongolia and Vietnam.

The Ger Village houses abandoned or homeless children, giving them a safe place to live, education and support.

Mr Pearce is from Billingshurst and

attended The Weald School. The others live in Horsham and attended The Forest School.

wanted to take ‘aWe vehicle that would

leave a longer lasting value to Mongolia

’

Mr Pearce said: “Having heard about it through a worried mother whose son was doing the rally last year, we knew this was a trip we just had to do.

“Our route will take us from Goodwood through France, Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia.

“We will be driving across deserts, up mountain ranges and on roads ranging from bad to non-existent, all with no support crew.

“We wanted to take a vehicle that would leave a longer lasting value to Mongolia. An ex-service ambulance can be used to provide crucial medical assistance in the local community.

“The level of primary care is extremely basic in Mongolia, with hospitals being short of equipment and medicines. Ambulances are few and extremely far between and in most cases are old Russian military vehicles, ill-equipped for saving lives.

“After seeing the fantastic work they do and the effects on children’s lives, we wanted to back the charity with everything we could before the event.

“We’ve even doubled the official target to £2,000 as it’s something we all feel very strongly about.

“Once we get to Mongolia, we will be handing over the ambulance for long-term service and visiting the Ger Village to see where our fundraising success will be used.”

Sewage kills fish A criminal investigation is being carried out into the death of hundreds of fish.

Environment Agency officers are assessing the impact of a suspected sewage discharge on the River Arun, affecting a two-mile stretch west of Horsham since Wednesday last week, June 15.

The source of the pollution has not yet been confirmed, but specialist Environment Agency fisheries and environment officers have taken samples of water and dissolved oxygen levels.

Sewage pollution strips out oxygen in the water, leading to fish suffocation.

Michael Turner, of the Environment Agency, said: “This is a major sewage pollution incident which has caused the death of a huge number of fish.

“It’s distressing to see such damage to a beautiful part of our environment, which will impact communities’ and particularly anglers’ enjoyment of the river.

“We are assessing the impact of this incident and have started a criminal investigation into its cause.”

Members of the public can report pollution incidents by calling the Environment Agency’s emergency hotline on 0800 807060.

£100k for charity Outset Youth Action, based at Pulborough, has received £100,000 from the government to ensure it can continue to help young people in West Sussex.

The independent youth organisation, a registered charity, acts as a volunteering agency for people aged between 13 and 25.

Chief executive Sally Sikora said: “We are thrilled to have received this lifeline from the transition fund.

“We have experienced catastrophic funding cuts this year from central government, which has had a direct effect on our capacity to uphold services to the neediest of young people in West Sussex.

“With the support of the transition fund, we can continue to provide a service across the whole county and now have the capacity to develop our partnerships across all sectors.”

Horsham MP Francis Maude, minister for the Cabinet Office, said: “This government is making it easier for people to do more – giving people power to improve public service, putting communities in control and supporting people to help others.”

Tee-mendous success Seventy-five golfers braved poor weather to take part in the John Edward Foxwell Memorial at the Kingfisher course, Mannings Heath Golf Club.

Work starts at the Kings Head Hotel Restaurant giant ASK is starting conversion work on one of the biggest eyesores in Horsham.

The Kings Head Hotel, a Grade II listed building in the Carfax, has been closed for seven years.

But a spokesman for Horsham District Council told The Resident: “We understand that ASK Restaurants have recently completed a legal agreement with the owners, Drebbond Ltd (the Norrish Family), and that conversion works to the building will start in the next couple of weeks.”

The building is the subject of an extensive planning history, but the district council recently approved the demolition of internal partition walls on the first floor and the demolition of a staircase from the first floor to the second.

The council’s design and conservation officer said in a report: “The main character of the atrium is derived from its double-storey height, size of space, balustrade and roof light and its access from the main staircase.

“The small staircase is a secondary feature in this space. The proposals for its removal need to be balanced against the other elements of the reuse of the building. Seeing as its age and significance is limited, its removal is acceptable.”

Hoping for more details about ASK’s plans for the site, The Resident contacted the company on Monday and again the following day, but a spokesman was unable to provide any more information before our print deadline.

The company opened its first Italian restaurant in 1992 and now has well over 100 nationwide, including outlets in Brighton, Burgess Hill,

Chichester, Crawley, Lewes and Worthing.

The Horsham Society’s website, www.horshamsociety.org, last updated before news of ASK’s involvement, says of The Kings Head Hotel: “Horsham’s only town centre hotel has been closed since 2004 and its future is still uncertain.

“Instead of acting as a bridge between Carfax and East Street, encouraging shoppers to explore the town, it is a blight on the townscape.

“The society has always maintained that the listed status of this landmark building must be respected and would strongly oppose any move to change its outward appearance.

“Planning permission was granted for conversion from a 42-bed hotel to a 17-bed hotel plus shops, restaurants and offices. But despite occasional rumours of an impending sale, this never materialised and most of the building remains boarded up.

“In 2008 the Horsham Society

urged the council to acquire the site through compulsory purchase.

“Part of the site in East Street has been converted into a Cote restaurant.

“However, despite encouraging signs of interest in 2010, there is as yet no definite news that further parts of the building will be brought back into use soon.

“Following the refurbishment of East Street, this old building looks even more forlorn than before.”

A star-studded gala dinner at The Savoy Hotel, London, raised at least £200,000 for the Horsham-based Born Free Foundation.

The evening’s entertainment included a one-off performance of Born Free by Queen guitarist Brian May (pictured) and West End star Kerry Ellis, who received rapturous applause.

Virginia McKenna, founder of the Born Free Foundation, attended a briefing session for MPs before a debate about wild animals in circuses.

The parliamentary vote yesterday (Thursday) will not be binding on the government, but the foundation and other animal welfare groups welcomed the opportunity for MPs to debate the issue.

Ms McKenna said: “This issue has dragged on long enough. Wild animals continue to be transported from pillar to post and housed in inadequate environments – all in the name of so-called entertainment.

“We firmly believe that a ban should be put in place as a matter of priority, and our view is shared by the RSPCA, the British Veterinary Association and many other responsible animal welfare organisations.

“More importantly, the majority of the public support a ban.”

Milestone for our new academy schools

Horsham MP Francis Maude Photo by Split Image Ltd

Next Friday, July 1, Southwater Infant School and Southwater Junior School will become the first two primary academies in West Sussex.

What the schools describe as “a significant milestone for the future of primary education in the county” follows an invitation from Education Secretary Michael Gove to apply for academy status.

Both village schools are graded “outstanding” by Ofsted, so were considered to be in a prime position for conversion. Both governing bodies carried out a consultation and

review, which ended recently.

The academies will be funded directly by the Department for Education, through the Young People’s Learning Agency (YPLA), making them state-funded independent schools with the freedom to purchase resources and services from a wider variety of providers.

They say this will allow them to ensure funds are used effectively and efficiently, with services more customised towards the children that need them.

The academies have already

identified significant savings within certain services and believe there will be “many more” such savings in future.

We are very proud ‘that we are the first

schools to convert in West Sussex

’

Head teachers Sue Winn and Simon Wood told The Resident: “We are delighted to have been granted academy status. This has been achieved following a long period of consultation and review by both governing bodies.

“The opportunities and freedoms we will now be offered can only be of benefit to the children. We are very much looking forward to maintaining and enhancing the provision of education for the children of the new academies.”

Both of the new academies will mark their conversion next Friday with celebrations involving the

children, parents, staff, governors and friends of the school.

One of those taking part is expected to be MP Francis Maude, who has supported the schools’ efforts to complete the conversion in good time for the next academic year.

The head teachers added: “We will have many celebrations throughout the course of the day, including croissants in the morning and a cream tea in the afternoon. And we will still manage to fit in a mini marathon at the infant school in the morning.”

Doug Smith and Tony Mason, chair of governors at the infant and junior school respectively, said: “We are very proud of the fact that we are the first schools to convert in West Sussex.

“We have spent many hours reviewing the benefits that we gain as an academy and in the end the decision was easy.”

The schools say they will continue to serve the community by providing the highest quality educational experiences for all.

Many other schools have already asked the new academies to advise them on their own academy conversion projects.

School leaps forward in its Ofsted report Shipley Primary School has improved from satisfactory to good in its latest Ofsted report.

The school has been awarded 11 outstanding grades and nothing less than a good grade in any area.

Inspectors praised its “well-maintained and welcoming environment”, “efficiency of management”, “outstanding quality of pastoral care” and “excellent relationships with parents and carers”.

Head teacher Caitriona Bull said:

“We are delighted with our report as it really does reflect our school and achievements. We will take these positive comments and build on our success.”

Christina Maude, chair of governors, said: “We knew we had found someone really special in Caitriona.

School leavers can pioneer citizen scheme School leavers are being urged to sign up for the National Citizen Service (NCS), a government initiative which includes a seven or eight-week Summer programme.

The scheme is being piloted with 11,000 young people nationwide, including 15 from the Horsham area through the YMCA, which was approached by the Princes Trust.

It includes a residential week at Hindleap Warren, Wych Cross, near Forest Row, featuring rock-climbing, kayaking, swimming and other pursuits, a further residential week at Stanford Scout Camp, near Pease Pottage, and a social action project.

Anyone who is interested must have been born between September 1, 1994, and August 31, 1995, and must be available for eight weeks from July 11.

Jason Anderton, of Sussex Central YMCA, said: “The NCS aims to promote a more cohesive society by mixing participants of different backgrounds, a more responsible society by supporting the transition into adulthood and a more engaged society by enabling young people to work together.

“Benefits include a chance to chill with friends, to meet new people, to be part of a groundbreaking programme and to prove to yourself that you can rise to a challenge.

“It’s a great chance to learn new skills, some of which may be accredited, and a great addition to your CV.” Contact Mr Anderton on 01403 213412, 07584 686740 or jason.anderton@sussexcentralymca.org.uk

Oliver shoots fox (with camera) Collyer’s student Oliver Wilks has won a top photography prize for this picture of a fox in snow.

His effort won the school and college section of the Sharrow Photography Competition, an established international competition run by a charity in North Yorkshire.

Oliver said: “I’ve won £75 for me and £100 for the college. I hope this

money helps the photography department.”

Kevin Fitzpatrick, subject leader for photography at Collyer’s, said: “Oli is a talented photographer and thoroughly deserves this award. I think his winning photograph is excellent. The £100 for the department is a fantastic gesture and much appreciated by his teachers.”

Magnificent support

In defence of circuses

The Crawley and Horsham branch of the British Heart Foundation would like to thank everybody who supported their collection in Horsham town centre and Swan Walk on Saturday, June 11.

The magnificent sum of £420.72 was raised. Sincere thanks also go to our volunteer collectors, who gave up their valuable time to help.

It is only through the generosity of the shoppers and our supporters that we can continue our vital work, which is why their kindness is greatly appreciated.

We have been leading the fight against heart disease in the UK for 50 years and will continue to do so until it is no longer a major cause of disability and early death.

If you are interested in learning more or would like to become involved with our group, please contact us.

Although I agree that animals born free should remain free, what people like Will Travers fail to remember is that circus animals are not born free.

They are from stock that is many generations of circus. They are muchloved members of the family of the trainers.

Many of the circus animals breed well and sometimes excess young can be found in zoos. I think it has been a long time since animals have been captured for circuses.

If you did ban them as Mr Travers wants, what would happen to them?

His foundation (by its name) gives the impression that they would be treated like Elsa and released into the wild.

As they are so many generations in captivity, this would be impossible.

I am a friend of circuses and as such have visited circuses all over Europe. Animals in circuses are always treated well. I have seen many training sessions and have never seen any cruelty involved.

Martin Lacey, and his sons who work in Europe, always have the most beautifully kept animals.

Why do people like Mr Travers keep on at circuses? Is it because they think it is a soft target that can help them raise funds?

Why not go for horse racing where so many animals are put down each year? Is it because there is too much money behind it and they will fight back?

I would love to know when Mr Travers last visited a circus, spoke to the trainers and looked at the condition of the animals. I think never.

Are we in this together?

Workers need a good example to follow and leaders need to lead.

Perhaps our MP, Mr Francis Maude, can think of a group of leading public figures in a position to set an example by a simple piece of legislation reducing their own pension benefits.

Such behaviour may do something to convince other public sector workers that we are, indeed, all in this together.

Why evening bus must continue With regard to the proposed changes to the 98 bus service between Horsham and Southwater, may I suggest the service be limited to two per hour instead of four.

This would produce substantial savings and hopefully allow the evening service to continue after 8pm.

I know someone who lives in Southwater and works overnight in Horsham. As his shifts start at midnight, what is he supposed to do if the service ends at 8pm? Spend four hours wandering the streets?

Can someone explain why the 98 circuit through Southwater is always in the same direction? If you want to go to Lintot Square, you have to travel right around Southwater Country Park and two housing estates, adding about 15 minutes.

Would it not make sense to alternate this route so that the 98 stops at Lintot Square in a southerly direction some of the time, then services the housing estates, Southwater Country Park and Cedar Drive?

Animals enjoyed themselves Carla Insull is surprisingly misinformed about the use of elephants in English circus (The Resident, June 17).

There have been no elephants performing in English circus for two years now.

Many animals are trained to perform in a variety of roles, from Toto in The Wizard of Oz to horse racing, dog shows, Gymkhanas, sniffer dogs and seeing dogs for the blind, to name but a few.

Even the film Born Free used trained animal actors – a surprise to animal activists, surely. Does Carla Insull want to stop all such activities?

Your correspondent has used misinformation to alarm the general public in a seemingly cynical way.

I visited The Great British Circus and was also shown round the animal living and training areas, as all patrons were invited to do.

The animals were obviously well cared for and content. There was no hint of physical or emotional cruelty.

The animals seemed to positively enjoy showing themselves off to us.

So much has changed From a cursory glance at the contrasting photographs of North Street (The Resident, June 10), virtually nothing has changed since 1951. But take a closer look.

In the 1951 picture, one can spot the iconic railway station, opened in the late 1930s – a classic example of art deco architecture.

With a bit of imagination, one can visualise Hercule Poirot and trusty chum Hastings making their exit. The exterior of the station remains much the same today and is a Grade II listed building.

On the left of the photograph taken 60 years ago, one can see a typical lamp standard of the period and a telegraph pole, which is something of a rarity these days.

A little further back on the left was the entrance to Horsham open air swimming pool.

In late Spring every year, the same coloured board would be erected, featuring a lithe female in bathing costume and cap, with the slogan: To the Swimming Pool – Coming In? The changing rooms were primitive by today’s standards and the water was heavily chlorinated. Even so, everyone had a great deal of fun. That said, polio was the scourge of the 1950s and on many occasions during the Summer months, swimming pools were closed for fear of deadly infection.

One memorable Horsham fatality was a former Collyer’s schoolboy, Michael Philcox, who died of polio within days of finishing his National Service.

On the right of the 1951 photograph, trees obscure what was Comewell House, which housed the offices of the then Horsham Rural District Council. And further along, another 1930s building housing a well-known Sussex garage, Caffyns.

But the most notable difference between the two photographs is the lack of traffic, white lines and road-sign clutter in the 1951 pic.

Indeed, one could cycle happily down North

News Street without having to a don a safety helmet and all the brilliant day-glo clobber seen today.

Demolition contractors in and around Horsham were much in demand from the early 1950s, as is illustrated by the photos of East Street 60 years apart (The Resident, June 3).

An original Morris Minor, with split windscreen in the foreground of the 1951 black and white photograph, was a very desirable motor car in those days. A glance across the road shows a row of parked cars, including a pre-war Morris 8 and a box-like Austin Seven.

In the contemporary picture, a car is shown turning from East Street into what is now Park Place, a relatively new road driven through to complete the Albion Way project.

Before that, the site was occupied by Gough House – the Conservative Association HQ – named after a former MP, Freddie Gough.

Next door was June’s Hairdressers. Along the same block was a greengrocer, Stanford’s as I recall.

Note the advertisement for Gilbert Rice (motor dealers) posted on the so-called Iron Bridge in the 1951 pic.

Adjacent to the railway bridge on the righthand side, one can just make out a popular and much-frequented pub, aptly named The Bridge House.

Looking along the right foreground of the 1951 photograph, one can spot a number of shops, including Radio Rentals which later moved to Middle Street. Yes, many people did rent radios in those days!

And next door Holmes & Cooper, plumbing and hardware stockists.

The most notable feature of the changes in East Street during the last 60 years is the bland architecture which replaced buildings with more character and much more in tune with what was then a real market town.

Pass the rose-tinted specs!

We must ‘be prepared’ for houses Scouting in Horsham district is booming, but organisers believe the development of new houses will lead to longer waiting lists unless more leaders are found.

It was a story of success at the annual meeting of the district scouts in Horsham Weald, which covers much of the area east of the railway line, including Southwater, Cowfold, Partridge Green, Shipley and the school group at Christ’s Hospital.

There are more than 830 young people in Scouting in the district, with a similar number in neighbouring Horsham West.

Unless we get more ‘leaders, youngsters

who want to join the Scouts will never be able to

’

District commissioner Brian Barker said: “Our success is due to the enthusiasm, commitment and dedication of the leaders, as well as all the other adults that work behind the scenes.

“Without this, success would not be possible. There are 170 adults supporting over 800 boys and girls.

Without more leaders we run a very strong risk of losing some of our sections.”

The meeting highlighted the large

waiting lists that every local group has.

Irene Orford, representing the county Scouts, said: “This is a general problem throughout West Sussex and in much of the rest of the country.

“I worry that unless we can get more leaders and start more groups, some youngsters who want to join the Scouts will find they are never able to.”

‘Fris’ Friswell, district chairman, said after the meeting: “Scouting is fun for the young people and, although it can be hard work for the adult volunteers, it is fun for them too.

“It is very rewarding working with youngsters, helping them learn new skills and develop into responsible people. It is imperative that we find some more leaders to reduce our waiting lists and share the responsibility with our existing adults.

“With developments scheduled for Southwater and west of Horsham, we also need to establish new Scout groups.

“We will need premises and yet more leaders. Southwater already has one of the greatest concentrations of youngsters in the county.

“There are two existing groups there, one of which desperately needs a headquarters. Both need more leaders. If more houses are built, there will be a need for a third Scout group.

“Leaders do not have to have been a Scout – things have changed – but sympathy for the aims and objectives

of the movement are important.

“We have excellent training courses and it can be lots of fun. There are also opportunities for the less active to help with administrative tasks, releasing leaders to work with the boys and girls.

“If you are interested, contact

your nearest Scout group or phone the district commissioner on 01444 881709.”

If you are wondering what they are, what they do and how they are used, here’s a quick guide.

What is a QR code?

QR stands for ‘quick response’. It is basically a barcode-style pattern that contains information that a mobile app can read.

A QR code can contain a website address, a telephone number or just text, up to 250 characters. If the code contains a website URL, the mobile will then load the website.

What do I need to read a QR code?

Your phone needs to have a camera and access to apps. Search your app store / market for ‘qr code’ and you will find plenty of options.

If you have an iPhone, we suggest ‘RedLaser’, and if your phone runs on Android our favourite is ‘QR Droid’.

Run the app and simply hold your phone’s camera up to the QR code.

How do I create my own QR code?

There are many websites that will generate QR codes.

Thousands enjoy Billingshurst Show A capacity crowd of more than 3,000 enjoyed the Billingshurst Show at the Recreation Ground.

The theme for the carnival procession was musicals, with the floats ranging from The Wizard of Oz to Shrek.

Led by the Petworth Town Band, who performed again later, the procession featured Carnival Princess Jessica Martin with attendants Rose Moran and Victoria Sachs, and flower girls Saskia Rohlandt, Alexis Hendriksen and Hollie Laker.

Peter Woodman, head teacher of The Weald School, declared Billingshurst Brownies winners of the best float, with Dauxwood Cub Pack second and Billingshurst Family Church

third.

Performances came from baton twirlers Horsham Bluebelles, rock band We Don’t Do Mornings, the Sandra Wilson School of Dance, Richard Curtis and his K9 Freestyle Dancing Dogs, the Army Cadets, The Weald School and the Billingshurst Choral Society.

More than 70 canine contenders were entered for the dog show. Best pedigree dog in show was an Irish Setter from Tadworth, while a tiny puppy called Pippa, owned by Alison Wilkinson from Billingshurst, was cutest puppy and best novelty in show.

Paul Starkey, chairman of the organising committee, said: “It was

great to see so many people enjoying the attractions, stalls and arena events, and particularly good to see so many stalls from the local community.

“I’d like also to thank everyone on the organising committee, which is made up of Rotary Club members and supporters of Billingshurst Scouts and Guides, our many helpers beforehand and on the day.

“Also our sponsors and advertisers, especially principal sponsors Coco’s of Billingshurst, Essence of Asia and Gozone, who have all been extremely generous.

“We expect to raise over £8,000, which represents a great effort from all concerned.”

New parking charge is ‘beyond belief’ Clampers go at last, but disabled must pay to park Matthew James News Editor

matthew@the-resident.co.uk

Nick Poston, of DK Vintners, with a new parking sign at Jengers Mead, Billingshurst

What do you think?

Email Your Shout at matthew@the-resident.co.uk

The private owner of Jengers Mead car park, Billingshurst, has ceased a much-criticised clamping policy and replaced it with fines.

But retailers’ delight has turned to outrage because disabled people are now being charged to park.

The end of clamping pre-empts the passing of the Protection of Freedoms Bill, expected to become law this year, which will outlaw clamping on private land following a national outcry.

Nick Poston, proprietor of DK Vintners and a member of Billingshurst Chamber of Commerce, said: “Aggressive clamping in previous years has seriously damaged Billingshurst’s reputation and our retail businesses, so its cancellation is very good news.

“But to start charging the disabled to park is beyond belief, both financially for the owner and socially.”

Jengers Mead car park is owned

by James de Savary, who is based in Milton Keynes, and the village centre facility is managed by Capital 2 Coast Security.

Mr de Savary has been strongly lobbied by concerned parties including the Chamber of Commerce and MP Francis Maude, who submitted a paper to the Home Office in 2009.

We do not want ‘Billingshurst to be

labelled as inhospitable towards the disabled

’

Chris Sewell, vice-chairman of Billingshurst Chamber of Commerce, said: “After two years of lobbying on behalf of our members, we are encouraged to see that clamping has been ceased prior to the new legislation.

“However, we cannot understand

What is Hypnotherapy? What is Hypnosis?

Hypnotherapy is a deep state of relaxation during which suggestions are made to create beneficial changes in ideas or behaviour using guided imagery.

The subconscious mind controls the involuntary functions of the body, including habits and things that we do ‘automatically’ - it is fuelled by our emotions and imagination. The subconscious mind also contains memories of every single thing that has occurred to us.

In hypnotherapy the mind is very receptive to new ideas and open to suggestions which encourage more sensible, balanced or helpful attitudes to reality.

In the clinical setting, symptoms associated with stress or anxiety can

be helped; in such cases it is not a substitute for medical treatment, but a very useful supplement to it. Mind and body affect each other and the person as a whole is benefited by this holistic approach.

For some conditions, regression techniques can be used. This may mean re-examining (without necessarily re-experiencing) events which influenced us at an earlier time in life.

By bringing these memories to the surface the subconscious mind is able to discharge the negative effects and can be ‘reprogrammed’ for success.

An example of this could be that as a child we were made to eat all food that was put in front of us whether we were hungry or not, leading to a life-long habit of overeating and

obesity.

Many other issues such as confidence, self esteem, weight control and driving test nerves can be successfully treated with hypnotherapy.

The number of sessions required usually varies from person to person, however most people feel some benefit from hypnotherapy immediately.

why disabled badge holders will not now be exempt from parking charges.

“Just as we are starting to get over clamping, we do not want Billingshurst to be labelled as inhospitable towards the disabled. We hope that this is an error and we have written to Mr de Savary.”

Capital 2 Coast previously charged a £120 release fee for clamped vehicles and a further £125 if the vehicle had been taken away.

Complaints were made about clamps being applied ruthlessly and without any consideration to circumstances. Now a ticket for £80 will be issued if a driver does not comply with parking conditions.

Raising Hope in Ghana Judy’s cycle trek after surgery The Raising Hope Foundation, a Horsham-based charity, is building an orphanage in Ghana. In August, 11 volunteers will run a two-week camp for the orphans who will live there.

The foundation is working alongside a Ghanaian charity, Living Faith Foundation, to realise the dream of Agnes Appiah by building an orphanage in her home of Santrokofi.

This is a traditional and relatively poor area comprising of three villages. There are a large number of orphanages and needy children living in far from ideal circumstances.

The Raising Hope Foundation aims to provide a home for these children and give them security, stability, food, health care and access to education.

The foundations of the orphanage began in 2009 and the walls were completed last Summer.

Now the foundation needs to pay for the roof.

To raise money, 12 riders will cycle from France to Luxembourg and 15 people will jump out of a plane.

You can donate via www. charitygiving.co.uk/raisinghope or offer clothes and toys through Kinza@raisinghopefoundation.co.uk

Horsham mum Judy Porter-Wise will cycle 30 miles for charity, despite having undergone hip revision surgery this year.

The IT training consultant, 44, will ride with friends Kate Lee, Anne Wilkinson, Sophie and Sharon Knight on a route from Handcross to Hove, as part of the Capital to Coast Cycle Challenge.

She said: “The first training ride after the operation was a bit wobbly, but I feel it’s definitely ‘do-able’.

If I can do it with a dodgy hip, then anyone can. I’d encourage everyone to sign up and take part.”

Happy 100th birthday to Wakefields James Hood Business Editor

james@the-resident.co.uk

Wakefields Jewellers in Horsham is celebrating its 100th anniversary.

To mark the occasion, owners Melanie and Dominic Wakefield (who are the third generation of the Wakefield family to run the business) are throwing a Vintage Tea Party on West Street this Sunday, June 26.

Melanie told The Resident that Wakefields has been a family affair from the beginning: “My great grandfather came to Horsham in 1898 and wanted a business for each of his children. It was shortly after that when my grandfather, who was a watchmaker and optician, established the jewellers.

“Both me and my brother, Dominic, are really proud to be a part of the history of Wakefields. Rather than just owning the shop, it feels as though we have been entrusted with the business, to look after it for the next generation.”

Melanie joined Wakefields Jewellers more than 20 years ago as a Saturday girl, before taking the reins with her brother. She believes they both share the same passion for maintaining the Wakefields brand and business as their grandfather did.

She said: “Our grandfather worked until he passed away in 1990. Even on the day he died he still wanted to know the figures for the shop. For a while I worked alongside both him and my father. So there is a lot of

history, emotion and memories here for us all.”

Both Melanie and Dominic agreed it is not only the family’s commitment to Wakefields that has made it a successful shop for a century, but its customers too.

Melanie commented: “Our customers have made Wakefields what it is today and we are really grateful to them.

“It’s a special relationship we have with people who shop here. It is often for a happy occasion, a gift for a loved one, an engagement ring or something that will create a memory for years to come. We love that we can share that with people. I’ve even served three generations from one family, which is a sign of our customers’ loyalty – and how long I’ve been here!”

Melanie added that the staff also plays an important part in making Wakefields such a success: “Everyone who comes in to our shop is greeted with a smile and a warm welcome.

There’s no sales technique, just a friendly, relaxed style. Plus the team really knows about the products.”

Both Melanie and Dominic spend time researching and sourcing the brands and products that people want from a modern jewellers, which has helped to keep Wakefields contemporary. They believe that it is the combination of classic craftsmanship and the latest in jewellery design that has helped them be successful for so long.

Melanie said: “We are always striving to be the best. I’d like to think we have never been complacent. We still

have a workshop on the premises, but have also brought in brands like Pandora and Links of London.”

The Vintage Tea party that Wakefields Jewellers is throwing in celebration of 100 years in business will be held outside the shop. There will be tea, cake and a jazz band.

Next week, the shop is also running a ‘crack the safe’ competition.

With any purchase made in the store from Monday, June 27 to Sunday, July 3 customers will receive a six-digit code, which could unlock a £25,000 diamond ring!

Melanie concluded by commenting: “We wanted to give something back to the public as a thank you.

We thought a good old-fashioned tea party was the way to do it.

“We’re thrilled that we have made it to our 100th birthday and it’s thanks to our customers and staff.

“It is also down to the fact that we understand the emotion and sentiment that goes into even the smallest purchase. That’s the reason we have been an independent and trusted jeweller all these years, and the reason I love my job.”

Farewell to one of the family It’s a ‘hard act to follow’ as a respected accountant hands over the reins

Offices in Brighton, Chichester, Horsham, Storrington and Worthing

www.spofforths.co.uk This month, Peter Lansberry from Spofforths accountancy firm in Horsham will retire after more than 20 years at the company.

A resident of the town, Peter grew up in the area, attended Collyers and even acts on behalf of clients he used to know as a child.

He says that working in the town for all these years has meant he can give a more personal service. “Spofforths has allowed me to have that all-important contact with people. It is the time that we can dedicate to individual clients and their circumstances that they have come to appreciate.

“I give commercial advice with an eye on the tax system, but I have also been a sounding board for every business-related or domestic crisis imaginable”, Peter said.

His career began in 1975. He has since worked on behalf of businesses and also dedicated his time out of the office to various boards and charities.

But despite Peter’s experience, he is modest about his impact on both

clients and colleagues. “I think what people will miss most about me are those useless bits of information that I collect. I seem to have a wealth of information stored from years in the business.”

Professional services runs in Peter’s family. His father was also an accountant and his brother, Philip Lansberry, continues to provide legal advice on wills, trusts, probate, inheritance tax and power of attorney at Spofforths.

It is the family-focused nature of the firm that Peter says will be hard to say goodbye to. “We are a family firm in every sense of the word. Both myself and Philip have been here for years, Spofforths treats its employees like family, and we also think of our clients in that way too. It has been a pleasure coming to work all these years”.

The majority of Peter’s client portfolio will now be looked after by Sarah Ediss.

Having originally trained at KPMG in London, Sarah has been at

Spofforths for 10 years and was made a partner four years ago. She said: “It’s a hard act to follow”.

Sarah shares Peter’s passion for giving service above and beyond what their clients expect. “I moved out of London so that I could dedicate more time to people, not just their accounts. We want them to feel they can contact us for advice any time.

“I really enjoy being able to translate all the complicated jargon into language that clients can understand.

Here we have the time to look at the bigger picture, and that means we can really have an impact on people’s businesses and see them grow”, Sarah said.

Peter will spend his retirement in the Lake District, where he and his wife plan to move. He also enjoys gardening, conservation and tapestry.

Sarah added: “I’ve heard clients say that he came in like a knight in shining armour and saved the day. I just hope that in 30 years people will think as highly of me as they do of Peter.”

To tweet or not to tweet...?

That is the question being asked by organisations everywhere. As part of our social media special, James Hood talks to those already using Twitter and Facebook to increase awareness, feedback and profits, and asks; can you afford not to join the online conversation?

James Hood Business Editor

james@the-resident.co.uk

Social media is one of the most significant developments in both online business and marketing activity for decades.

The use of websites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn has revolutionised the way that many companies communicate to both existing and potential customers.

With more than 600 million Facebook users and 175 million on

Twitter, it’s a market place that cannot be ignored, and yet many companies are still reluctant to invest their time and money by getting involved.

Ben Davis runs Sussex Bootcamps with his business partner Steve Cork.

They provide fun fitness sessions for the public and have received new business directly from their presence on Facebook.

Ben said: “It has been a great way to connect with people. Our customers ‘like’ us, their friends might see that and then they will make enquiries. It has been massively beneficial for business”.

Steve Cork with Bootcampers

Aside from the exposure to millions of potential new friends (and consumers) Facebook and Twitter have one benefit that puts them ahead of other methods of selling; they are free.

Ben added: “It only costs your time.

So it is great for smaller businesses that don’t have a big marketing or sales budget. For us it’s provided a fantastic return on investment.”

The rise in social media has seen businesses of all sizes tweeting and updating their information online in order to maintain awareness of their brands and products. Some larger companies including John Lewis and Tesco recruit employees dedicated solely to social media, so as well as a way of increasing customers, is this just a sign of the times?

Francesca Nelson is a former journalist and is currently communications manager at Saxon Weald housing association in Horsham. She said: “Traditional methods of communications in the media are changing. So it’s important to keep up to date with the various ways of getting information out to people. Social media provides a great opportunity to do that”.

As well as using social media sites for one-way communication, they have also proven a valuable tool for gathering feedback and opinions from customers. The sites also provide a means of establishing longerterm relationships with your friends and followers.

Ben from Sussex Bootcamps

commented: “We have found Facebook is a great way of offering nutritional advice and other motivational information to clients. It doesn’t have to be just about selling. It’s a way of engaging with them, building trust and loyalty.”

But are there any drawbacks to the transparency that comes from having a profile online or allowing employees to post updates on Twitter?

Francesca Nelson commented: “You do have to approach with caution. Depending on the business you are in it can be wise to start with a page on Facebook that does not act as a forum for anyone to comment on – just like the royal family.

“Also, when using Twitter, businesses should be aware that anyone, including their customers, can follow employees whose comments and views are their own. So the risk there is that all your hard work could be undone with one innocent but damaging tweet.”

Francesca added that there is work involved in encouraging people to join or follow your company on social media websites. “Don’t expect people to follow you just because you create a profile. If your business is not one that people have an affinity with or are interested in communicating with, it could be a lot of work and input for very little gain. You have to be realistic about whether you will get followers”, she said.

Dale Jannels, a director at All Types of Mortgages (AToM), believes that

social media is here to stay. He told The Resident: “Many people thought it was just a fad that would vanish.

But now we all realise it’s around to stay for the long term.

“The bottom line is simple; as a business, there’s no escaping that if you’re not promoting your products and services, your competitors most probably are. Embrace it!”

Ultimately, with the appropriate risks assessed, the costs of testing the waters with social media are low and the results could be profitable, particularly on a local level where there is an entire community sharing their news and winning business.

Why not try it? Your customers might ‘like’ it.

Social Media for business. Necessity or hype?

Dan Purchase is the managing director of BritWeb, a website design, SEO and online marketing company.

He has lived in Horsham for nearly 30 years and has more than 10 years’ experience in his industry.

Everywhere you turn now you are probably hearing you ‘must get your business on Facebook’ and ‘We are tweeting all the time’. But the big question is; is it all really worth the effort?

Well, a good start is to look at some statistics: Twitter had 75 million user accounts back in January 2010 and now claims to have 175 million registered users. LinkedIn has grown 100% since earlier in 2010 with over 100 million users, and Facebook has around 640 million, (yes 640 MILLION) users worldwide with at least 175 million active users every 24 hours!

Pretty powerful stats, but do we all need to jump on the bandwagon? It

depends on the individual business.

While social media is a largely free medium, it does cost one valuable asset – time. There are tools to help save time, such as using a central ‘dashboard’ like Hootsuite to manage multiple platforms with one post. You can also enlist the help of an external company to set up and manage your social media.

But is it worth it? Will your business get a good return on investment for its time and money?

You need to look at what you do and whether interacting with your clients via Facebook or Twitter is likely to be beneficial.

Locally, there is a Horsham Facebook page run by Visit Horsham with over 6000 members. They interact about events in the town and often ask for people to recommend services. You can even use your own business’ Facebook page to advertise

yourself once a week. My company has gained two projects directly from using this page, so it works.

BritWeb also made joining its Facebook page into a competition, with a £20 HMV voucher as a prize. The result was a rise from 43 fans to 271 in one week - something you could try for your own business.

From this, we’ve had an enquiry from someone that ‘liked’ us to quote for a website. So - yes, it can work. Be inventive and experiment with posts from both business and personal angles to engage your client base.

It might be the current hot topic but there is an element of hype too.

Look at how social media can help your business, but be mindful of your time and where it is best spent.

Otherwise, you could find yourself spending too much of it posting and tweeting and missing more sales than you gain!

Your social media Qs answered Vik Gill www.vikgillsocialmedia.co.uk

What is social media?

Social media is a relatively new way to use the internet by participating in ‘networks’ like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn as well as new and innovative websites such as Quora, Foursquare, and Empire Avenue.

They each provide a forum for people and organisations and aim to help people engage in conversation online.

Vik Gill lives in Horsham and is Managing Director of Bunse Ltd, which provides social media management and training, email marketing, and cloud computing services to businesses and non-profits.

Vik can be found on the web at www. vikgillsocialmedia.co.uk, on Twitter @ vikgill, on Facebook at vikgillsocialmedia, on LinkedIn as vikgill and on YouTube as vikgillsocialmedia. Or email vik@vikgillsocialmedia.co.uk.

Vik is also a PhD student in Entrepreneurship and Small Business at Kingston University.

Why is social media important for my business?

Sell tyres to car owners? Kitchen products to families? Sweets or toys to kids?

You can bet your core customers are on Twitter or Facebook this minute, sharing recipes, asking for advice on the best bathrooms, the best plumber, and talking about the great (or poor!) service they received from someone.

If you’re not engaging with them, your competitors probably are!

I’ve started using Twitter, but

it’s really confusing! What are hashtags (#), replies, mentions (@), and messages (DMs)?

On Twitter, users (tweeps) post short messages. These can include ‘hashtags’ which simply reflect a subject or trend using the # character (e.g. #royalwedding).

Other users can search for these words to find out what people are saying on Twitter about it. ‘Replies’ or ‘mentions’ are exactly what they sound like - just put the @ character in front of someone’s Twitter username before you post your update and that person will be able to find your mention.

Have a practice by mentioning me on Twitter @vikgill if you like! If you want to send someone a private message that only they can see, just use the ‘Messages’ function, using the @ before that person’s Twitter username. But note, you can only message someone privately if they are following you.

What is the difference between a Facebook profile, a page or group – and which do I need for my business?

All Facebook users need to have a personal profile before they can do

Groups work well for community interests and organisations (political parties, people who like gardening etc). You cannot ‘Like’ a Group, but you can join it and join the conversation.

Pages however, are great for businesses and non-profit organisations that want to create a buzz about their brand or services. Customers, friends, and prospects can ‘Like’ your Page and if they do – they’ll see your business or organisation’s updates in their news feed.

Firstly, you should not outsource social media to anybody who cannot explain and agree how you’ll track the success of these efforts.

Simply put, you need to be looking at how all social media efforts converge, drive traffic to each other and to your company blog and website, and then how that traffic ‘converts’ into more engagement, more prospects, and ultimately – more sales, donations etc.

All ingredients will be sourced from independent local producers and if it isn’t in season it won’t be on the menu.

Everything Mark buys and creates will be of the finest quality - from home baked bread and butter to ice creams, sorbets and preserves. Even the oil will come from just down the road, in Partridge Green.

Simon said: “We really want the Crabtree to be known for fantastic locally-sourced food, great beer and wine, professional service, and a warm family welcome.”

Two’s company A pair of women who were both vying for a design contract have joined forces and won the business Two sisters-in-law have won a joint interior design contract with a large housing developer, after initially attending the business pitch separately.

Katrina and Jacqui Smith both run successful design businesses on their own and bumped into one another before presenting their ideas to Thakeham Homes.

After suggesting that they work together on the projects, the pair was awarded the contract, which will mean they are responsible for dressing show homes across the South East.

Katrina, who is from Horsham, runs True Colours and said: “Show home work is really enjoyable and interesting. Over the last couple of years there hasn’t been a great deal of it around, so we’re really excited to get started.

“We have a great relationship with Thakeham, and we’re grateful to be given the opportunity to work in this way.”

Katrina and her new partner Jacqui, who is managing director of Homesmiths design firm, will now focus on the first show home design, ready for its official launch in August.

Entertainment September sounds great Gig Guide the-resident.co.uk/entertainment

Horsham Area

The Resident is proud to announce the launch of Festival of Sound – a month of quality live music in and around Horsham, coming this Autumn September will be music month in Horsham this year, with the launch of ‘Festival of Sound’.

The event, which has been organised by local resident and music lover Sharon Dow, will take place throughout the month at various venues and local bands, businesses and the public are all invited to get involved or come along.

Around 38 bands have already given their support to the festival and many have agreed to play including Redfish Biteback, Joe90, Not Dave, the Stuart James Band and Furious Badgers.

Sharon said: “The Festival of Sound will give people who love live and local bands the chance to enjoy them for the whole month. It will also give businesses, shops and restaurants that don’t ordinarily host music

events the opportunity to do so. Everyone I’ve spoken to seems to be really excited about it.”

Venues that already have live music nights, such as the Tanners Arms and Piries Bar are already on board.

Any other local venues or vendors also have the opportunity to have a band perform on their premises as part of the festival.

Sharon added: “The response so far has been terrific, from both bands and venues. But people can still come forward and get involved. The goal is to hold 100 live music events in one month.”

The event will tie in with Horsham’s Big Nibble – a weekend of local, fresh produce on sale in the town centre. It will mark the beginning of the Festival of Sound and organisers hope that there will be live music on the streets, adding to the atmosphere.

A competition has been launched

Gigs are sometimes cancelled or changed at short notice.

To avoid disappointment please contact the venue.

Those who vote are being urged to pick the best one for the festival and the town, rather than selecting one

Support act is just the start for singing star A teenager from Partridge Green is about to get a big break, performing as a support act for Elkie Brooks.

18 year-old Lauren Bayross-Payne has been singing, and playing the guitar and piano since she was just 13, when she began learning the technical skills required to perform at school.

The budding star will now be the opening act at the famous singer’s concert at Knepp Castle next month.

Lauren told The Resident: “I really love performing and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to sing on stage before Elkie Brooks. I am so excited.”

Lauren has been writing her own songs since the age of 14 and her list of influences includes Katie Tunstall, James Morrison and Two Door Cinema Club.

After getting good grades for submissions of original material for her Music GCSE, she decided to continue her education at college with a course in Music Technology. The theory she has learnt has also been supported by numerous live gigs in venues across the region as well as Horsham Live and the Young Band Night at Brighton Dome, last November.

Ever the professional, Lauren is

A young singer and songwriter will be cutting her holiday short for a different kind of break next month

even flying home half way through her summer holiday for the Elkie Brooks performance. She said: “I’m really proud to be asked to sing at the concert. So coming back to the UK for it is no big deal.

“I am quite nervous as there will be

a lot of people there, but I can’t wait.”

Lauren will perform a 30-minute set of mostly original material.

The rising star has plans to further her career as a singer and musician as well as continuing her studies with a degree in performance.

An evening of folk and fundraising Esteemed musicians will perform a mix of folk and classical music to help educate women and children in Nepal A top violinist from an internationally acclaimed orchestra will play a special charity concert in Horsham on Friday, July 1.

Andrew Wickens, who has travelled the world with the London Philharmonia Orchestra, is a versatile and gifted instrumentalist. In addition to playing for the prestigious Philharmonia, he is also a member of a unique local group, Classical Folk, whose music bridges two genres; classical and popular-folk.

The ensemble includes Sylvia Gordon on flute and Andrew Gordon on guitar and together they will perform ‘Music for a Summer’s Evening’ at the town’s Unitarian Church at 7.30 pm.

Their programme should appeal to all tastes and will include short works by Brahms, Massenet, Schubert and Toselli, as well as favourite folk and parlour songs.

The concert is in aid of Ashraya Nepal, a charity that provides homes and shelter for underprivileged Nepalese children, particularly girls and orphans, and aims to provide a base from which they can obtain further education.

Schooling is very limited in Nepal and virtually non-existent beyond the primary stage and the few urban centres.

After the concert Classical Folk will join the audience for wine and

canapés. More information about the work done by Ashraya Nepal will be available on the night from one of the charity’s representatives. There will also be a collection.

Phil Collins act performs live and unplugged Paying homage to the star’s singing and song writing talents, the popular tribute band, No Jacket Required, is performing an acoustic set next month James Hood Entertainment Editor

james@the-resident.co.uk

When you think of Phil Collins’, live performances to a packed stadium or arena might spring to mind.

It would include tens of thousands of fans, a full live band with a brass

section and a spectacular light show.

So getting up-close and personal to Mr Collins and his music is something of a rare opportunity, especially since the Genesis frontman has now called time on his music career. Thankfully, the UK’s leading Phil Collins tribute act, No Jacket Required, is continuing to perform his music in their faithful recreation of his live shows. And on

Satruday, July 16, they are going ‘Unplugged and Acoustic’ at The Capitol in Horsham.

“The Unplugged show idea actually came from Michael Gattrell, general manager at the Capitol”, recalls No Jacket Required’s lead singer, Dave Whitehouse.

“We were sound-checking acoustically prior to one of our shows and he suggested that we could do a complete ‘Unplugged’ performance. It was something which we had considered before but Michael’s suggestion was just the impetus we needed.”

The band is in its ninth year now, and has performed all over the country as well as overseas, to full houses.

They have sold out in the main theatre at The Capitol on their previous seven visits, but this time they can be seen in the smaller, more intimate Studio Theatre.

“Phil Collins is a great songwriter.

If we needed any further proof, then the Unplugged show has certainly provided that. We have stripped back the songs to their core elements and,

if anything, it makes them more powerful and emotional to perform”, Dave said.

He added: “It’s quite exposed, but all the better for that – and it’s given us the chance to look at the songs in a different way”.

The band have arranged many of Collins’ hits in an acoustic style but also taken the opportunity to perform some lesser-known tracks from Phil Collins’ hugely successful 40year career.

“It’s great to perform some songs which otherwise might not appear in

our main shows, and one or two Genesis songs have also found their way into the set”, David added.

The band’s first ‘Unplugged’ shows at The Capitol were a sell-out success last Spring, and prompted a return this summer of a show which No Jacket Required will continue to perform on an occasional basis.

Tickets are on sale and available from the Box Office by calling 01403 750220 or at www.thecapitolhorsham.com For more information on the band, visit www.nojacketrequired.co.uk

Green Lantern Will is stronger than fear – that’s the overriding message in Martin Campbell’s latest movie, the Summer blockbuster, Green Lantern.

Regardless of whether you’re a confident air force pilot-turnedsuperhero or a mere mortal, there’s usually a moral behind the comic book stories and this one is no exception.

The Green Lantern is based on the Marvel comic and tells the story of Hal Jordan, who is bestowed with superpowers by the leaders of another planet. With a green ring comes great power and strength of mind, but in true movie fashion, we soon realise that Hal possessed that all along, if

only he believed it.

Green Lantern is action-packed and fast-paced from the beginning.

The story is as classic as a blockbuster comes. With the evil scientist abusing his powers in an attempt to rid the world of all that is good. Expect all the usual superhero costumes and a surprising lighter note when Hal’s love interest tells him he couldn’t disguise himself just by ‘covering his cheekbones’.

She is played by up and coming film actress Blake Lively. A leading character in Gossip Girl, this is one of Lively’s first movie roles and it won’t be the last. She has all the beauty and sophistication that cinema-goers flock to see and is perfect for playing the heroin in this film.

Hal is played by the too-perfect-toput-into-words Ryan Reynolds. It’s a welcome move away from rom coms (and the Amityville horror flick) that he is well known for and his combination of presence and pretty-boy looks makes him perfect as the new superhero on the block. It helps that he has one of those faces that endears audiences to him, making him believable as both a hero and a vulnerable victim.

It’s a tale as old as time, but Green Lantern manages to entertain, and has kept it current with rollercoasterstyle effects and plenty of action. Plus it benefits from a fresh cast who are all worth watching, now and in the future.

See it at The Capitol in 3D. To book tickets visit www.thecapitolhorsham. com or call 01403 750220.

Also on the big screen Bad Teacher Cameron Diaz is reunited with Justin Timberlake for this movie, in which a teacher can’t wait to meet her meal ticket, to escape her mundane day job. Her foul mouth and disregard for her students makes for hilarious viewing. Make sure you check out our review in The Resident next week.

Q

We are buying a new house in Horsham from a property developer and our solicitor says this developer wants to hold the 10% deposit we have to pay on exchange of contracts and claims that this is risky.

He says it’s the developer’s solicitor who should retain the deposit “as stakeholder”. We’re worried that an argument about this means we will lose the house. The developer seems genuine and is also NHBC registered.

What would be your advice on this matter?

A

When contracts are exchanged the deposit is usually held by the seller’s solicitor “as stakeholder” and does not belong to either seller or you until completion.

However frequently when a developer is building a new property he may want the deposit held by his solicitor “as agent”, which means it can be passed on to, and used by, the developer.

There is a risk because the developer might get into financial difficulties and your deposit in this case might be lost.

However as your developer is registered with the National House Building Council (NHBC) your deposit will be protected if your developer becomes financially broke after exchange of contracts, so your solicitor shouldn’t be concerned.

If the developer wasn’t registered with the NHBC and there was no other type of building agreement providing deposit security in the event of liquidation then your solicitor would be right to maintain that your deposit must be held by the developer’s solicitors “as stakeholder”.

Hope this helps and I wish you the very best of luck with your purchase.

Should you have any questions, please email duncanjagger@harper-james.co.uk

Stylish new Yaris set for Summer launch

Olli Nott Motors Reporter

olli@the-resident.co.uk

The third generation Toyota Yaris will be launched in the UK this Summer.

Developed from an original concept of “compact outside, spacious inside,” new Yaris shows Toyota further

improving the clever packaging that was a hallmark of its predecessors.

Additionally, it will mark a breakthrough in its segment for affordable multimedia connectivity with the introduction of Toyota Touch & Go, due to be offered as standard equipment on 95 per cent of sales.

It features a 6.1-inch display with touch screen technology for ease of use and functionality.

Manufactured at Toyota’s Valenciennes factory in France, new Yaris has been designed and engineered to deliver the highest possible build quality.

Inside, high quality materials and surface finishes have been used, and there is a more driver-focused cockpit.

Three different low emissions, fuel-efficient Toyota Optimal Drive

powertrains will be available: 1.0-litre VVT-i and 1.33-litre dual VVT-i petrol units and a 1.4-litre D-4D diesel.

Didier Leroy, President and CEO Toyota Motor Europe, said: “New Yaris represents Toyota’s strongest offer yet in the important supermini segment.

“With its new levels of ingenuity, efficiency and quality, we are confident

it can build upon Yaris’s previous success and help Toyota rejuvenate its presence in Europe and move towards one million annual sales in the region in the medium term.”

It’s not yet revealed when the New Yaris is going to be hitting the streets of Horsham, but when it does, it should prove to be very popular.

Motorists distrust speed cameras Less than a third (29 per cent) of Britain’s motorists think that speed cameras are only used at sites with a bad record of crashes and injuries, and 50 per cent think that raising money is their primary aim, according to Public Opinions of Speed Cameras, the latest research report from road safety charity the IAM. The survey of more than 1,000 respondents also shows that support generally for speed cameras is high at 79 per cent. The highest level of support is in London (85 per cent approval) and the lowest in the North East (67 per cent).

Seventy per cent of motorists agree that speed awareness courses are a better idea than prosecution. The greatest support for this is among 17 to 24 year-olds with 82 per cent

in agreement. In contrast, 65 per cent of the over-65s think they are a good replacement for prosecution.

The survey found less support for using the income from these courses to fund cameras – 48 per cent support this, but 34 per cent actively disagree. However, 17 to 24 year-olds are once again the most likely to support the proposal.

81 per cent of all respondents think that speed cameras contributed to falling road death rates over the past decade and nearly half of all respondents think that road deaths and serious injuries would increase if cameras were turned off.

IAM director of policy and research Neil Greig said: “Support for cameras is strong as is support for speed awareness training rather than fines or points.

“Prosecuting and fining drivers does not improve driving skills or awareness of the hazards of excessive speed. Training would reduce the number of casualties and prosecutions. The high proportion of young people wanting this is very positive.

“Many motorists are still cynical about the aims and deployment of speed cameras and much more work needs to be done to dispel their negative perceptions. In times of cut-backs to police budgets, speed cameras are an essential part of the policing toolkit, but it’s clear that the public need reassuring about their purpose and funding.”

What are your views on Speed Cameras and their aims, benefits and possible drawbacks? Drop me an email; olli@the-resident.co.uk I’d like to hear your views!

Medals galore for Christ’s Hospital Youth Athletics

Christ’s Hospital School pupils racked up 28 gold medals when they competed against 11 other Sussex schools in the Reg Clarke Games at Broadbridge Heath.

Shekinah George-Lawal achieved a personal best in the 100m in an outstanding 12.84, while Gus Streeting finished second in both the steeplechase and the 800m.

This followed success in the Sussex Schools Championships at the K2,

Crawley, when the school’s athletes won five gold medals, five silver and seven bronze.

Six athletes qualified to represent Sussex in the Southern Inter-Counties and two – Nick Ofonagoro and Gideon Hammond – for the English Schools.

Christ’s Hospital spokesman Hannah Jennings said: “Many of these athletes are hugely talented and are reaching some impressive standards.

“But this is the tip of the iceberg.

We are working hard to ensure that their raw talent is developed further.”

Sport in Brief Golf Dan Attwater won the 18-hole Stableford competition at Broadbridge Heath FC’s golf day at Rookwood, ahead of Martyn Flack and Alex Bethell.

The nine-hole Texas scramble was won by Malcolm Curnock, Maurice Cornish, Mick Robinson and Dean Robinson, while Russell Cristie won the longest drive and Maurice Cornish was nearest the pin.

Youth Basketball Horsham Hawks held trials and new player try-outs for next season.

John Dishington, club secretary and coach, said: “We had a positive response, but there are still places for a few more players in our U11 and U12 teams.”

Almost time to tri, tri and tri again Triathlon

Excelling in swimming, cycling or running takes dedication. Proving your worth in all three would be a step too far for many, but about 400 people are preparing to do just that.

Horsham Amphibians Triathlon Club will stage its traditional Southwater Relay Sprint Triathlon on Sunday, September 4.

About 130 teams of three are expected to take part, each individual competitor swimming 400m in Southwater Lake, then cycling 18.5km from Southwater to Coolham and back up the A24, and running twice around the park, a distance of 3.8km.

Alex Sheppard, a first-time triathlete last year, said of the relay: “I had a Photos Heritage great day, Itby wasVic really well organised and it was a good triathlon to try for the first time. I’m going to do it again

this year.”

Put this event in your diary as it will take over most of the country park for the Sunday morning. The main car park will be out of action as it is used for transition, where bikes are kept when competitors are swimming and running.

Horsham Amphibians Triathlon is based at Christ’s Hospital Sports Centre and has members aged from 15 to 80, from Horsham district and beyond, including Brighton, Worthing and Guildford.

The club runs a full programme of training sessions throughout the year, led by head coach Mark Ticker.

These include time trials, swimming, track and open water swimming.

Members participate and compete at all levels, from novice to international elite, over distances from tri-atri to ironman. Trips to France, Wales and Dartmoor are also organised.

For more information and entry forms, visit www.a2tri.com

Fast Boys romp triathlon trium Bowls

Most of us might wonder why anyone would want to do this - wake up bright and early on a Sunday morning, swim in a freezing cold lake, jump on a bike and then charge around a country park a couple of times.

Horsham frustrated by the weather Martin Read Cricket

Brighton & Hove 159-3

Preston Nomads were the big winners on a day when rain truncated Horsham’s home match against Brighton and Hove.

Horsham and their city visitors each took 10 points. Although league leaders Hastings were rained off at Three Bridges, defending champions Nomads returned to the top of the table after shooting out Eastbourne for a paltry 106.

Horsham drop down to third, 13 points behind the new leaders.

There was standing water on the edge of the square at the scheduled start time, but play eventually got under way thanks to the sterling efforts of the groundstaff.

courtesy of a blistering, contemptuous 65 from Sussex batsman Luke Wells, son of former Sussex batsman Alan.

Wells Jnr, who has been in sensational form for the county this season, hit 11 fours and two towering sixes before holing out with a skier to wicketkeeper Sam Bell.

Persistent squally showers caused stoppages in play and an early tea was taken in an effort to minimise any further loss of time.

But soon after another restart, play was eventually abandoned at 5.05pm despite the best endeavours of the umpires and captains.

Chris Grammer made 47 before being run out by Devon Endersby. Matt Henry finished with 1-25 and Mike Munday took 1-10.

Roffey’s derby against Pulborough was called off without any play.

Horsham have a tough assignment with a visit to Preston Nomads tomorrow (Saturday), while Roffey visit struggling Chichester.

There was mixed news for the town’s two principal sides in the England and Wales Cricket Board National Knockout Cup. Horsham suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Kent Premier League side Tunbridge Wells at the picturesque Nevill Ground.

Horsham were inserted and could only muster 183-9 in their 45 overs.

After a promising start, wickets fell at regular intervals until they had subsided to 99-5. Mini recoveries followed, but although several batsmen played themselves in nobody went on to build a match-winning innings.

The main scorers were Sam Attfield (29), Sam Bell (28 not out), Devon Endersby (27) and Craig Gallagher and Tom Johnson (26 each).

Chris Williams took 3-51.

Horsham needed to make early inroads into the Tunbridge Wells batting but were unable to part the openers before they had knocked off almost half the runs.

Johnson, James Newland and Paul Williams took a wicket each but the hosts cruised home in under 31 overs as opener Alexander Williams struck an enterprising 92.

It was a different story at Roffey where the home side despatched another leading club, beating Teddington from the Morrant Thames Valley League in a nail-biting encounter.

Teddington were bowled out for a seemingly inadequate 187 in 44 overs, wicketkeeper Mark Phythian top scoring with 62.

The ever-reliable Luke Barnard took 3-29, ably supported by Matt Davies, George Fleming and Daniel Smith with two wickets each.

With 45 overs to get 188, Roffey looked comfortable at 117-2 but were held back by tight bowling, notably by Duncan Wood with 2-20 from nine overs.

Chris Plaister (38) and Josh Fleming (31) set up a winning platform, assisted by 22 by skipper Mike Norris, but established batsmen came and went.

An undefeated 30 from George Fleming and Mark Pavlovic’s coolly struck four from the final ball of the match saw Roffey home at 190-7.

Pavlovic said: “The exclusion of overseas players and county professionals levels up the odds in these matches and we feel confident we can win. It just comes down to who is good enough on the day.

“Somebody had to get us over the line and this time it was my turn.”

Roffey eliminated two strong clubs – Richmond and Blackheath – in earlier rounds and have won through to the final 32 of the 256 entrants.

When England star arrived on elephant Martin Read Cricket

Cricket and Warnham are inextricably entwined and many famous cricketers have played in the village.

Long-serving Sussex professionals George Cox Snr and Jnr were born and lived in Warnham. Between them, they played more than 1,000 matches for the county, scoring almost 38,000 runs and taking more than 2,000 wickets.

Philanthropic landowners and other benefactors have contributed much to the development of the game locally – and further afield.

Victorian country house cricket was immensely popular with the Lucas family at Warnham Court and Sir Henry Harben, chairman of Prudential Insurance, at Warnham Lodge.

The attractiveness of these venues and welcoming hospitality encouraged the very best players to come to Warnham, including WG Grace and Ranjitsinhji.

The extolled Indian-born, Cambridge-educated ‘Ranji’ was a supreme batsman for Sussex, once

scoring two hundreds in a day at Hove. He made 154 not out on his debut for England and became a statesman for India.

His arrival in Warnham, reportedly in full regalia on a bejewelled elephant, surrounded by a substantial entourage of servants, is said to have been watched by the entire village adorned in their Sunday best.

Spectacular July cricket weeks at Warnham Court even challenged the dominance of the renowned Canterbury festival.

Seven Lucases played at Warnham Court, three of them representing Sussex and one being England vice-captain. In 1880 their family XI beat Horsham by an innings and 320 runs after scoring 587.

The family are commemorated, along with locally born poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, in Warnham’s parish church, St Margaret’s.

By Victorian times, cricket at Warnham was already well established, the official foundation date of the club being regarded as 1820.

Early records are frustratingly incomplete, but cricket was known to have been played in the village at least as far back as 1772, when

diarist John Baker described a match between Warnham and Broadbridge Heath.

Country house cricket at Warnham ceased many years ago, but the club continues to thrive, fielding Saturday and Sunday teams in the Village League.

Social events, including a race night and post-match barbecues, are arranged throughout the season and chairman Andrew Cantrell (07825 453903) will be delighted to hear from anyone interested in joining the club.

He said: “Warnham is a friendly, welcoming club with cricketers of all ages, including some good lady players – and one of the best pitches locally.”

Emerging colts regularly feature in the senior side, and if they mirror their forebears they can look forward to lengthy and happy playing careers at the club.

A number of members have demonstrated extraordinary loyalty. Tony Parker has been treasurer for 28 years and Brian Knight, whose brother and two sons also played for Warnham, is in his 46th year as secretary.

Having represented the club with

Warnham CC

distinction on the field, Knight has shared groundsman duties with former bowling supremo Reuben Tidy for about 35 years, a partnership that continues to produce good runmaking surfaces.

The pavilion honours board records the names of other impressively prolific club stalwarts.

Warnham’s pavilion was completed in 1982, the culmination of a lengthy planning process and considerable fundraising activities.

Much of the labour was provided

by volunteers and a celebrity match marked the occasion. Lavinia, Duchess of Norfolk performed the opening ceremony and the visiting team included Test match players such as Sir Colin Cowdrey.

Warnham’s pleasant ground in Hollands Way, beside the village hall in the heart of the village, is a muchappreciated local asset and well worth visiting.

Warnham entertain Oakwood Hill tomorrow (Saturday) and Wescott on Sunday.

Liam’s double helps Lions roar Youth Football

Lower Beeding Lions U14 won the Handcross tournament, beating East Grinstead U14 2-1 in a dramatic final.

Lions won three matches out of four in their group and fought back from a goal down in the final.

Liam Ruz equalised with the last kick of normal time and scored the winner in extra time.

Andrew Roberts captained the Lions, whose squad also included Charlie Blair-Rains, Liam Kidd, Sam Morey, Aaron Pyzer, Adam Ruz and Matt Streeter.

Lions coach Clive Pyzer (07766 461098) is looking for new players for his U15 side in Division A of the Horsham and District Youth League next season.

Chesworth Rovers held their family fun day at The Holbrook Club, including a mini tournament, coloured hair-spraying, tattoos and nail-painting, and beat the goalie.

Horsham Sparrows lent stocks, allowing spectators and players to choose which managers had sponges hurled at them.

Despite already being soaking wet, Chris Ellis (U7), Mark Christer (U9) and Dean Laker (U11) took turns in the stocks – and other managers threw a large barrel of water over Laker.

Fundraising organiser Fiona Christer said: “It’s great to see the whole club together like this.

“It was so funny watching the coaches get sponged and seeing the children enjoying themselves, with the support of friends and family around them.”

Sport in Brief Football Former Horsham manager John Maggs is expecting Brighton and Hove Albion to field many first-team players for his testimonial match.

Maggs’ Horsham Select XI will play the Seagulls at Worthing on Wednesday, July 13 (7.45pm), and he revealed: “Gus Poyet has promised a very strong side, so I’m hoping it will be most of the first team including their new signings.”

The Horsham team will include recently departed players such as Gary Charman (Eastbourne Borough) and Anthony Storey (Tonbridge Angels) plus stars of the 2007 FA Cup run including Simon Austin, Nigel Brake, Lee Carney, Jacob Mingle, Stuart Myall and Carl Rook.

Tickets are £10 for adults, £5 for seniors and under-16s. They will be available on the gate but can be bought in advance from Horsham FC, Worthing FC, Solo Café at Horsham railway station, M&J News in East Street and B52’s in Piries Place.

Former Dover Athletic manager Richard Langley has become the latest addition to the backroom staff at Horsham.

Justin Luchford, who succeeded Maggs as manager, told www.hornetsreview.co.uk: “Richard brings with him a lengthy CV in non-League football and, most importantly, that little bit of experience I believe we need.”

Training at Holbrook FC will start at the Holbrook Sports and Social Club, North Heath Lane, on Tuesday, July 12 (6.30pm).

The club runs four sides in the West Sussex League, from Division 1 to Division 5, and potential new players are welcome to turn up on the day.

Southwater’s Jolyon Palmer has set his sights on his first GP2 points at Valencia, Spain, this weekend.

The 20-year-old has made a solid start to his debut season, several times coming close to the points.

He said: “I’m looking forward to Valencia. It will be interesting going to a track I’ve never raced on before, but hopefully I can get up to speed quickly.

“At Monaco a brake problem cost us a shot at a points finish in both races, so hopefully we can have a troublefree weekend at Valencia and pick up some good results.

“This will give confidence to everyone leading up to the races in July, on circuits I know a lot better.”

The GP2 weekend will be covered

by Eurosport.
