Residents are campaigning to save buses which were highlighted by a councillor as being under threat.

Rosemary Wakeham, from Nuthurst, said she would become a prisoner in her own home if the number 108 and 109 Compass Bus services were axed.

The 108 from Worthing to Horsham and back, via Steyning and Nuthurst, runs once every Wednesday and once each Thursday.

The 109 Lancing to Horsham and back runs once on Saturdays.

West Sussex County Council will slash bus subsidies by £2 million, or 43 per cent, over the next three years as part of its overall cuts of £79 million.

Cllr Derek Deedman, Liberal Democrat county councillor for Bramber Castle, told The Resident this month: “The Conservatives’ proposal would decimate bus

services in rural areas, evening and Sunday services, and school services for pupils living within three miles of schools.

“Locally the services which could be lost are the 2A Sunday service between Steyning and Shoreham, and the 17 Sunday service between Horsham and Brighton via Henfield.

“Also at risk would be the 108 and 109 services between Worthing and Horsham via Steyning, and the Henfield to Burgess Hill section of the 100 service.”

Cllr Lionel Barnard, deputy leader of the county council, has set up a task force of five councillors – three Tories and two Liberal Democrats – to consider the issue in more detail.

Mrs Wakeham, 60, has sent a heartfelt message to Cllr Barnard and Cllr Pieter Montyn, chairman of the task force.

She told them in an email: “I would like to express my distress on learning that my lifeline transport provision – the 108 and 109 between Worthing and Horsham – was mentioned in the full-page article as being one of the routes that may be cut.

“As a registered blind person I totally rely on this provision in order to access facilities in Horsham town centre.

This route is vital and ‘equal savings could be made elsewhere ’

“The existing service is already very restrictive. The route only operates three times a week and provides passengers a limiting one hour and 50 minutes in the town before the start of the return journey to Worthing.

“Without this facility I will become a prisoner in my own home and will be totally dependent on others for all

|

that I need to accomplish in the town.

“This possibility fills me with horror as, despite losing most of my sight at the age of 18, I have always strived to live as independently as possible.

“I am only able to voice my own fears in direct response to the possible loss of the 108 and 109 route, but I am aware of how it will impact on others in my local community.

“A high percentage of residents in Maplehurst and Nuthurst are well into retirement age. Many still drive, but this ability will be lost for most within this age band within a relatively short time.

“From speaking with neighbours and other bus users, it is evident that this route is vital and I am positive that equal savings could be made elsewhere.

“Why cut a route that is limited to three journeys a week and completely devastate lives when cutting one journey from a route that operates six times a day, seven days a week, probably wouldn’t even be noticed?”

Another Nuthurst resident, Carole Hall, said of the number 108 and 109 buses: “It would be very sad to lose this valuable service in our local villages. For many older and disabled people it is the only way of getting into Horsham.

“Their independence would be lost and they would have to rely on friends or taxis for their transport. Of course some would not be able to afford a taxi.

Chris Chatfield, managing director of Compass Travel (Sussex), said on the company’s website: “Most Compass Bus services are operated under contract to West Sussex County Council, who are having to seriously cut their bus budget over the next three years.

“At the present time, NO decision has been made about which services are likely to be cut.

“Although we are not anticipating any major cuts in the short term, there are likely to be minor cuts from September.

“As soon as we know any definite information, it will be posted on this website and in our buses. Please be

assured that we are doing all we can to protect our bus services.”

Cllr Barnard is challenged about budget cuts in the latest Digital Democracy video interview on the council’s website.

He said some underused services cost the equivalent of £7 per passenger in council taxpayers’ cash, but stressed no decisions had been made on which services to cut.

The Henfield councillor said: “I am called on almost every day to account for all my actions as a county councillor and I was happy to explain in the film how we will be arriving at our decisions.

“We have already decided to do all we can to encourage the growth of community buses. There will be many opportunities for people to

|

find their own solutions to transport needs.”

Cllr Michael Brown, Cabinet member for finance and resources, said: “This is a zero-sum game. If you preserve expenditure in one place, you have to find a corresponding cut somewhere else.

“Every cut underlines the difficult choices we have to make. The government has to borrow one pound in every four and this cannot go on.

“No elected member would want to preside over cuts of this scale, but we have little alternative.”

The Big Society in Horsham?

Matthew James News Editor

matthew@the-resident.co.uk

Council chiefs and residents can help overcome budget cuts by working together.

That is the claim of Horsham MP Francis Maude and Cllr Louise Goldsmith, leader of West Sussex County Council, who believe the coalition government’s Big Society offers hope of a better future.

But their comments were dismissed by David Hide, chairman of Horsham Labour Party, after the county council voted to cut its budget by £79 million in the next three years.

Cllr Goldsmith said: “There is nothing mysterious or new about the Big Society. It may not have been given that title before, but it is alive and well and has been flourishing right

Cllr Louise Goldsmith

across West Sussex for very many years.

“It could be the villagers that joined together to keep their local shop open or the communities that have joined forces to help establish ‘No cold-calling zones’ to deter unsolicited callers.

“Or perhaps the village where residents joined forces to form a consortium to drive down the costs of the oil needed to heat their homes, or the parent-run primary school.

“There are many, many other examples of communities coming together to help themselves.

“West Sussex County Council plans to move the Big Society agenda forward at a much greater pace over the coming months.

“We know there is a real appetite out there from people and organisations wanting to rise to the challenge of deciding what their local community needs – and play a leading role

in delivering it at the times they feel it is needed.

“In the near future we will have much more information about the advice and support that will be available so that the county council can help act as an enabler.

“There could be some money to kick-start a project. The county council budget meeting on February 11 agreed a £240,000 Big Society fund and we will be publishing the criteria for use of this in the near future.

‘

By working together we can turn a negative situation into something positive

’

“We are looking to make it easier, where the circumstances are right, to transfer one of our buildings into

a community-run asset thanks to a newly adopted policy.

“I am convinced that in West Sussex there are many areas where by working together we can turn what may appear to be a negative situation into something positive.”

David Hide, chairman of Horsham Labour Party, said: “Without visible local examples, the Big Society means nothing.

“Here in Horsham the Tories who run our council are more in tune with one of Mr Maude’s predecessors in government (Margaret Thatcher), who famously uttered the words ‘There is no such thing as society’.

“I look forward to Horsham District Council working once more with a community organisation such as the Blue Flash Music Trust, to retain the old Town Hall as a much-needed community facility and deliver on one of the Conservative-led government’s key policy commitments.”

Heavyweight help as Labour bids to make a breakthrough A former Cabinet minister has promised to campaign for Labour’s district council candidate in Broadbridge Heath.

Former Communities Secretary Hazel Blears made the pledge to Horsham Labour Party members during a fundraising quiz night at Age Concern, Denne Road.

Mrs Blears spoke passionately about how Labour should put up candidates in places such as Horsham so that the party’s supporters have the chance to back it.

And she promised to help Ray Chapman in Broadbridge Heath by canvassing for him on the telephone.

He said: “When Hazel offered to help campaign for me I was amazed,

but not half as amazed as voters in Broadbridge Heath will be if they answer the phone and find an ex-Cabinet minister on the other end.”

David Hide, chairman of Horsham Labour Party, said: “We were very pleased to welcome a prominent national figure like Hazel Blears to Horsham and have thanked her for her time and for her support.

“Her speech inspired our members to campaign even harder for our candidates in the council elections. The funds raised will help us to back up our door-knocking with more printed material.”

Labour does not have any councillors on Horsham District Council ahead of the local elections on May 5,

when every seat will be up for grabs.

Four years ago, the party did not field a candidate in most wards – including Broadbridge Heath, where Liberal Democrat Sally Horner defeated the only other candidate, Conservative Liz Ostacchini.

Cllr Horner, who was first elected to the district council in 1989, polled 64 per cent of the votes last time to secure a majority of 213 votes.

Teams from Horsham, Crawley, Guildford, Arundel and South Downs, Worthing and Brighton took part in the quiz.

The questions were posed by Mrs Blears and Andrew Skudder, Labour’s candidate in Horsham at the 2010 general election.

Mum kicks up stink over dog dirt Owners urged to consider other people after increase in mess A mother of two young children says they are being forced into the road because of dog dirt on pavements.

Heavily pregnant Stephanie Feitz, who has a three-year-old daughter and two-year-old son, is appealing to dog owners to consider other people and stop embarrassing Horsham.

The 31-year-old, of Devonshire Road, told The Resident: “The walk to my daughter’s nursery school has been terrible for dog mess.

“Denne Road is the worst, which is a shame as it is on the route to school or pre-school for many families.

“There are so many messes on the pavement that I often end up pushing my double buggy in the road to avoid them. All the other mums comment on how disgusting it is.

“Brighton Road and New Street have also been quite bad. On the Brighton Road last week there was even a huge dog mess at the dropped kerb for a pedestrian crossing.

The state of the ‘pavements is horrible and an embarrassment for the town ’

“It is a real health issue, especially for small children. My biggest fear is them falling over in it, but it is also a big pain to be constantly cleaning it off shoes, buggy wheels and my daughter’s scooter.

“My children are at the age where they need close supervision when walking in town and I would like to

be able to focus on teaching them road safety, rather than having to teach them to avoid dog mess.

“As a pregnant mother of two young children, getting around town is difficult enough without having to watch every step and swerving to avoid the mess.

“I have lived in Horsham for eight years and really love it here. But the recent state of the pavements is horrible and I feel it is a source of embarrassment for the town.

“I have heard a lot of other people complaining about this, especially other mums. I started a thread on the Horsham page on Facebook. Others have replied with similar stories.”

Mrs Feitz believes the problem has worsened since last autumn and usually occurs in the same few places, suggesting it is due to a small number of dog owners.

She added: “It can only be blamed on the individuals who allow their dogs to foul the pavements and don’t clean up after them.

“Either they don’t care about the consequences to others or they really haven’t thought about how other people are affected.

“The issue will only be resolved if the individuals concerned start behaving more considerately and clean up after their dogs.

“I would hope that it is the latter and that this article might make them think about it.

“I would also urge anyone who knows someone who is responsible for this to challenge or report them.

Additional bins for dog poo might also be helpful.

“This disgusting situation cannot be allowed to continue.”

Have a say on homes Residents have until March 18 to comment about housing proposals in Southwater.

The parish council will stage a consultation evening at Southwater Leisure Centre, Pevensey Road, from 7pm on Wednesday, March 16.

Horsham District Council, Berkeley Homes and Keep Southwater Green will present their views on proposals to build up to 500 houses west of Worthing Road, Southwater.

Members of the public will have a chance to ask questions and clarify issues.

There is no need to register an intention to speak, but written questions can be submitted to parish@ southwater.net or handed in at the parish office, Beeson House, by 5pm on March 11.

Include your name and address for these questions to be considered.

Council cracks down on irresponsible owners Horsham District Council’s Street Scene Team is cracking down on irresponsible dog owners who do not clean up after their pets.

The council says dog fouling is an ongoing problem in certain areas. The mess can be dangerous, causing severe infections if ingested or coming into contact with eyes.

Street Scene wardens have been working throughout the district, particularly targeting Denne Road and Morth Gardens in Horsham.

Large ‘hot spot’ dog-foul signs have been placed in this area and the council says regular patrols are being carried out at random times in an effort to catch the culprits.

Warden Karen Grisley said: “It is the responsibility of the dog owner or the person in charge of the dog to clear up their mess.

“If you fail to clear up after your dog you may be issued with a fixed

News in Brief

penalty of £50 – or if the case goes to court, a fine of up to £1,000.

“The wardens are sending a request to all dog walkers who do not pick up their dog foul to think of other people, including children, who are stepping in their dog’s mess.”

Warden Jayne Jeffrey added: “We’d like to offer a big thank-you to the responsible dog owners who do pick up after their pets, but we really want to urge members of the public to report those that don’t pick it up.”

Dog foul can be disposed of in a designated dog-foul bin or can be placed in any normal litter bin.

If there are no bins around, pet owners should pick up the mess and dispose of it in their refuse bin at home.

To report dog walkers not picking up their dog foul, call the Street Scene wardens on 01403 215533 or email community.safety@horsham.gov.uk

The Dame Vera Lynn Trust, based in Five Oaks, will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a ball at the Lancaster London Hotel on Saturday, April 2.

International soprano Hayley Westenra, The Jive Aces and Swingtime Sweethearts are booked to appear in support of the trust for children with cerebral palsy.

Event organiser Gráinne Saunders said: “It will be a fabulous affair and we still have some tickets available at £100 each.

“A coach has been organised to collect guests from Storrington, Ashington, Billingshurst and Horsham and take them to and from London for a £10 return.

“Please come and join Dame Vera to support her local charity.”

John’s charity drive Racing driver John Mickel, from Faygate, will run the London Marathon in aid of the Rhys Daniels Trust for seriously ill children and their families.

He said: “I am sure it will be my last attempt, only this time I am dragging my good friend and neighbour Sarah Marsh with me. I say ‘dragging’ in a very loose way as she is a far better runner that I am.

“Every penny we raise will be going to a great cause.”

The trust aims to provide ‘home from home’ accommodation in support of major children’s hospitals across the UK, enabling families to stay together while children receive long-term life-saving treatment.

Social care comes under the spotlight

News in Brief

Cash-strapped council plans to stop providing for moderate needs

Make a difference

Matthew James News Editor

matthew@the-resident.co.uk

Proposals to cut spending on adult social care will be considered on Tuesday, March 1.

A county council committee will debate the issue before Cllr Peter Catchpole, Cabinet member for adults’ services, makes a decision in March.

Cllr Catchpole said: “These proposals would mean the county council would no longer provide for moderate level needs, focussing on substantial and critical level needs only.

“This would bring West Sussex in line with more than three-quarters of English councils and mean we would continue to provide for our most vulnerable residents.

“This proposal for adult social care will lead to £4.3 million savings, but we will be providing additional investment for the voluntary sector to help fund community services.

“A total of £1 million has been earmarked from these and our day services proposals, with recurring investment after that.

“No one’s support will be removed until they have had a full reassessment by social care staff.

“There have been concerns that officers will be looking solely to save money in reassessments, but I want

to reassure residents this will not be the case. Our priority always has been, and always will be, the needs of the person being evaluated.

“Most people who use our services have a mixture of moderate, substantial and critical level needs. We will protect substantial and critical needs.

“If there is a risk that someone’s independence and wellbeing would be affected by the removal of services in a short time, then these would be fully assessed before any decision on their support is made.

“Carers are entitled to have an assessment of their needs in their own right at any time. We have a separate budget to support breaks for carers.

“We will continue to invest in preventative services to support people who will not in the future be eligible for social care support.

“These include telecare, which provides equipment to help residents, and the Regaining Independence Support Service, which provides intensive support to help people who have perhaps just been discharged from hospital.”

Cllr Catchpole added: “A lot of residents have asked whether holding a 10-week period of consultation was long enough. We took the decision to hold this over 10 weeks so as not to prolong anxiety for residents.

“Alternative proposals have been put forward by some residents, such

as to focus the cuts on one group of people only and not for those with other needs such as learning difficulties, or to apply the changes to new customers only. These suggestions would be illegal.”

The council’s adult services select committee will meet at County Hall, Chichester, at 10.30am on Tuesday.

The meeting will be webcast on westsussex.gov.uk Cllr Irene Richards, committee chairman, said: “These proposals are some of the biggest to come before us and have caused a significant amount of concern among residents.

“Our job as a scrutiny committee will be to assess the consultation process for the proposals to satisfy ourselves that they have been sound

and appropriate and to ensure that feedback from consultations has been adequately addressed.”

The Adult and Community Learning Service moves office from Steyning to Southwick today (Friday).

But the normal programme of courses at Steyning will continue,

horshamrotary.org.uk is the website for individuals and businesses to support an initiative by the Rotary Club of Horsham.

The charity will allocate at least £1,000 each month to help individuals, families and not-for-profit organisations in and around Horsham with small donations, small items or services where they will really make a difference.

Cllr Peter Catchpole

including the Monday evenings at Steyning Grammar School on themes including guitar, RYA coastal skipper, sculpture, jewellery-making and maths.

Courses such as keep fit for the over 50s, Italian (Level 1 and 2), computer courses and art continue to be available at other Steyning venues.

Cllr Peter Griffiths, Cabinet member for education and schools, said: “By moving from Steyning to our Southwick office, we will have one Learning Services base to serve central West Sussex.

“We will continue to provide our high-quality service from this one office for the Steyning, Southwick and Shoreham area.”

The new address is Southwick Adult and Community Learning, Southwick Community Centre, 24 Southwick Street, Southwick BN42 4TE. Phone 01273 598812.

Assault charges Three men have been charged with assault following an incident in The Spinney North, Pulborough, on August 28 last year.

Joe Middleton, 18, of Hurst Cottages, East Street, Amberley, has been charged with assault by beating and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

William Hill, 18, of Codmore Hill, Pulborough, and Matthew Goldsmith, 21, of no fixed abode, have been charged with assault by beating.

All three men are due to appear at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on February 25.

A 19-year-old man from Pulborough, arrested in connection with the same incident, will face no further action.

Educational event Parents and carers of children with special educational needs can attend an event at Billingshurst Village Hall, next Friday, March 4.

West Sussex Parent Partnership Service is organising the In Touch drop-in to provide information about services.

West Sussex County Council, West Sussex Link, Billingshurst Children and Family Centre, Autism Sussex and Scope will be there.

Cllr Peter Evans said: “Having this event in a rural area is key to reaching those who cannot make it to other events across the county.”

Call 0845 0751008 or email parent.partnership@westsussex.gov.uk for more information.

Savvy schoolchildren Four schools in Horsham district have reached the final of a countywide competition.

Leechpool Primary and North Heath Community Primary in Horsham, Dorset House in Pulborough and Loxwood Primary, Billingshurst, will join 16 other West Sussex schools in the Road Safety and TravelWise Quiz next Friday, March 4.

A total of 120 youngsters will answer questions about road safety and how to travel around West Sussex in environmentally friendly ways.

The final will be held from 7pm at Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park.

Council chiefs’ war of words over ideology for tax and spending Top Tory says Lib Dems would have ‘squirrelled away’ cash Political rivals have locked horns over budget cuts in Horsham district.

Cllr Robert Nye, leader of the Conservative-controlled district council, hit back against Cllr David Holmes after the Lib Dem group leader’s comments in The Resident last week.

Cllr Holmes told a full council meeting: “The proposed budget for next year aims to reduce expenditure by £1.9 million on total expenditure of around £30 million.

“Over the following three years it is proposed to reduce expenditure by a further £1.9 million – a total budget cut of approximately 12 per cent. The council has 505 posts and a 12 per cent cut would be 60 jobs.

“Having to make cuts on this scale clearly shows how out of control the financial management of this council has been.

“The current government settlement covers the next two years and the grant will be cut by £1.35 million.

The Cabinet’s proposed cut is more than twice this at £2.9 million.

“Why are such large cuts being made? Because of poor financial management year after year.

“For ideological reasons this administration just keeps cutting away at the council’s ability to serve the community.

“Expertise has been lost, training has been cut year after year and the budgets used by staff to deliver services have shrunk, restricting their ability to deliver services. Instead of actively doing what needs doing, the policy is to do less and less.

“The council recognised many

years ago that it should not spend more than its income. Yet year after year, with the exception of just one year, it has spent more money than it had coming in.

Low taxation and ‘value for money has always been a prime objective of Conservative philosophy

’

“In effect the Conservatives have used taxpayers’ money to woo them with low council tax increases that in reality it could not afford.”

But Cllr Nye told The Resident this week: “Cllr Holmes is, understandably, working to piece together an argument to satisfy a political need as we approach an election.

“He appears to be under the impression that government grant is our only source of income when in reality it accounts for around a quarter of our income. We have also lost revenue from other forms of income such as fees and charges.

“Cllr Holmes has failed to explain the policy that the council is embarked upon. I am happy to accept it is ideologically driven – low taxation and value for money has always been a prime objective of Conservative Party philosophy.

cuts to deal with the reduction in income from government and other sources.

“In the past two years we have set balanced budgets. There is nothing wrong in using bank interest to support day-to-day expenditure. It lowers council tax!

“The council has not, to my knowledge, had a target reserve until last year when it was set at £4million by 2013.

“Considering the current level of uncommitted reserves is around £3.9m and there are further predicted cash inflows from various income streams and investments, I am very confident the target figure will be maintained.

“Given the reserves are already at a sustainable level I can only assume Cllr Holmes would rather have squirreled the income away into an evergrowing mountain of money.

“He is patently against using the interest received from these increasing reserves to support day-to-day expenditure and resists the need to reduce the size of the council.

“His only other realistic option to meet expenditure and maintain or improve services would be to raise council tax.

“The Conservative administration prefers to have a sensible level of reserves and keep taxes as low as possible.

“Horsham District Council levies one of the lowest council taxes in the UK for one of the highest levels of service.

“During the recent cuts we have had a minimal impact on services and

we will continue to drive the ideological vision of maximising efficiency and innovation while delivering highquality services.

“These desirable outcomes from years of Conservative control did not happen by accident.”

News in Brief Winter fuel payments There is still time for older people in West Sussex to claim a winter fuel payment.

But pensions minister Steve Webb said: “Anyone who has not had a payment, and who thinks they may be eligible, needs to act quickly. The deadline for claims is March 30.”

Most households with someone born on or before July 5 1950 will receive £250, while households with someone aged over 80 will get £400.

Last year 144,760 households in West Sussex received a payment, including 22,030 in Horsham district.

See direct.gov.uk/winterfuel for more information.

Get on your bike Cycling – or at least planning it – has just got easier.

West Sussex County Council’s online journey planner, http://cyclejourneyplanner.westsussex.gov.uk, will calculate the best route for you and your bike.

Cllr Derek Whittington said: “We hope this will make cycle journeys even easier and even encourage people to use their bike on routes they might not have thought of.

“The planner allows you to select the fastest or quietest route and will even show you whether you can expect to encounter any steep hills on your way.

“You get a step-by-step guide of your route, complete with pictures and an estimated journey time making it easier than ever to leave your car at home.”

Cyclists can even help to expand the information on the site by adding information about recommended routes or suggested improvements.

Council has a plan Information about the 2011-15 district plan is being sent to residents by Horsham District Council, along with a leaflet about council tax.

The plan has been developed around the themes of economic development; efficiency and taxation; arts, heritage and leisure; communities; environment; and health and well-being.

Cllr Robert Nye, leader of the council, said: “It is important that the council is clear on its future direction, by putting the customer at the heart of our thinking, making improvements to services and making savings where we can.”

For peat’s sake Horsham residents are being urged to join conservation groups, including the RSPB, by asking the government to introduce a levy on garden peat products.

The market for peat-based compost in the UK is responsible for 630,000 tonnes of carbon emissions a year – the equivalent of 300,000 cars.

A nice little gurner for Comic Relief No, he hadn’t just heard the latest price of petrol or watched one of John O’Sullivan’s risqué videos.

Champion gurner Tommy Mattison visited Slinfold Golf and Country Club to raise money for Comic Relief.

The 12-time world record-breaking gurner was joined by staff, club members and members of the public hoping to beat him in a ‘face off’.

Many tried, few succeeded, but as they say with all sports it’s the taking part that counts.

Organisers said it was too early to say how much was raised, but club general manager Andy McNiven told The Resident: “The gurning event was fantastic.

“Everyone enjoyed welcoming Tommy to the club and he helped us raise a lot of money for Comic Relief.

“We hope to raise even more as we will donate £10 to the Comic Relief pot for every new member that joins between March 7 and March 18.”

Poet’s work published in New York after error New York is a long way from the beach in Wales where Ian Davies penned his early poems.

Mr Davies, of Fenhurst Close, Horsham, could never have imagined that the personal poems he started writing as a young boy for relatives and friends would one day be published in the United States.

He said: “I always wrote poems for my wife, mother and friends on their birthdays and anniversaries. It was only when I realised I’d written nearly 200 that I thought I might publish them.

“My first thought was to contact greeting card companies, but I was only met with rejection. I decided to

have one last try and emailed what I thought was another greetiing card company, but I clicked on Elibris by mistake.

“To my astonishment, they replied with an offer of publication.”

Meadow Song is about long hot summers as a child, Grains of Time about sitting on a beach. Autumn Days was inspired by walking in the park, Watching reveals an old oak tree’s secrets and Angels Keep is simply about sitting in the garden.

Mr Davies’ first collection, Inspirations, was published recently. He has been commissioned to write a second book, Inner Voice, based on more contemporary themes.

Frying pans at the ready. There is still time to enter a team in the annual Charity Horsham Pancake Race.

The Pancake Race takes place in the Horsham Carfax on Tuesday, March 8, between midday and 2pm.

Local businesses, groups of friends and families are invited to enter teams and help raise money for a charity of their choice.

Don’t worry if you don’t want to actually race. You can still come and cheer on the ‘flippers’ and enjoy the entertainment.

It will be flippin’ fantastic according to organisers, The Rotary Club, and will be compered by local radio DJ Chris Oxlade, who will also be spinning a few tracks to add to the fun atmosphere.

The event is supported by Horsham District Council and consists of team relay races with many local businesses, charities and other organisations competing to win the Prizes.

Sainsbury’s and the Non Stop Party Shop are sponsoring the prizes for the overall winning team and the team with the best fancy dress, while Ringway are providing the racing area. Sainsbury’s is providing the pancakes, sugar and lemon Juice. So all teams need is a frying pan.

In addition, this year, Waitrose is presenting a new prize for the team

that does the best in which all members are over 40.

The first Pancake Race was held in Olney, Buckinghamshire, in 1445. It is not clear how it originated, but it was run on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent.

Over the years, many towns across the country have adopted the Pancake Race and made it a tradition.

Horsham first organised one in 2009.

All proceeds will go to a good cause, with the charity chosen by the winning team and the most nominated charity receiving a third of the money each. Race organiser, The Rotary Club of Horsham, is donating the remaining funds to other local causes. Many teams have already sent in their entry forms including Teams from RSA, Munslow Bailey Gray, The Magic Bus, Strada, Waitrose, Beales and the Market Traders. The most nominated Charity to date is Chestnut Tree Hospice with St Catherine’s Hospice a close second.

The team races are four-people relays over four x 80 metres. Every participant also has to prove their ability to flip pancakes whilst they race and each team is encouraged to either wear fancy dress or, where relevant, charity or company branded T shirts.

To cut or not to cut?

That is the question West Sussex County Council says libraries are not a soft target for cuts, but the budget will be reduced in the next three years.

A council spokesman said: “The budget for 2010-11 is £10.25 million. This will be reduced by £1 million in 2011-12 as a result of a range of savings made this year.

“We have been asked to find savings of a further £1 million over the three-year period from April 2011 to March 2014.

“We have reviewed all our opening hours, with more consistent patterns and all libraries now open six days a week, restructured the staffing and made some reductions on our spending on books and newspapers and magazines.

“We are currently reviewing the mobile library service.

“We are reviewing service delivery for the smallest libraries, minimising the risk of closures via service provision through other means to maintain the library network where possible and promote their use as a community hub.

“This includes exploring the opportunities for co-location of services, sharing the use or cost of buildings and the potential for communities to run their own library.

“The reorganisation is very much designed to streamline existing services and underlines that libraries are in no way a soft target for cuts.

“We are not planning any reduction in service for Horsham Library. The only change planned is to introduce a new layout for the ground floor and to install self-service terminals.

“This will allow people to stack up to 10 books for instant scanning while their titles are displayed on a screen.

“It means at busy times far more people will be able to borrow and return books, with less waiting time. The library will also get some new furniture.”

So would it be a good idea to cut back more on libraries than other services such as transport?

With information available 24 hours a day via the internet, are libraries outdated?

The Resident spoke to people in Horsham to get an unscientific sample of views...

Amanda Leslie 18, gap-year student

I love the library and my children adore regular “visits – it’s a real treat as there is so much for children. I order new books for myself rather than buying them and it saves clutter at home.

How to make a date with Kate on your street With Royal Wedding bells due to ring out in April, West Sussex County Council wants as many residents as possible to celebrate in style.

Friday, April 29, has been declared a bank holiday to mark the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey.

Street parties are a traditional way of marking such national events, so the council has produced an online leaflet giving guidance for organisers.

It explains how permission for a street party needs to be obtained from district or borough councils. Some councils will also help

organisers obtain the public liability insurance needed for a street party.

Henfield councillor Lionel Barnard, deputy leader of the county council, said: “The county council wants to ensure as many people as possible are able to have a good time and hold successful street parties.

“We will do all we can to help. Because public roads are involved we will also need to ensure safety guidelines are followed.”

Road closure signs can be borrowed from area highways offices.

Where traffic diversions are necessary, the council will help with the positioning of signs and barriers.

The earlier the council knows about a party the easier it will be to make plans such as avoiding roadworks.

Cllr Deborah Urquhart, county council Cabinet member for environment and economy, said: “There’s still time to organise an event, but we would ask people to give at least four to six weeks’ notice so proper arrangements can be made.

“I hope lots of people in West Sussex will choose to mark the occasion by holding a street party.”

To find out more, visit westsussex.gov.uk and search for “highway licences”.

The Silver Wok - Carvery

So it’s Sunday, I’ve had my lie-in, my cooked breakfast was well received and I’m enjoying a nice mug of coffee while reading the local paper - The Resident, naturally.

The kids are having fun fighting over the TV remote and my darling wife is impressively spinning more plates than you can imagine.

Sunday, what a great day, and the only thing to complete this near perfect Sunday would be to devour a slap up roast carvery courtesy of…

The Silver Wok? That’s right, The Silver Wok. The Thai/Chinese fusion restaurant on Brighton Road From this Sunday, February 27 and every Sunday after, The Silver Wok will transform into a carvery offering traditional, fresh, locally produced food at affordable prices.

Along with my family and friends, I was invited to The Silver Wok’s carvery launch last Sunday (February 20).

On arriving at the restaurant we were greeted at the door by Robert Byrne, the Sliver Wok’s front of house manager who showed us to our seats.

We were offered drinks and I must admit, I expected a bottle of Tiger Beer to be on the top of the list but was pleasantly surprised to see ales and beers as well as some fine wines.

Robert, originally from Ireland, brings 25 years of experience within the restaurant trade specialising in carvery cuisine and made us feel comfortable straight away.

The choice of meats was gammon, beef or turkey - all perfectly cooked and accompanied by roast potatoes, roast parsnips, Yorkshire puddings, carrots, peas, sweetcorn, brussels sprouts, cabbage and stuffing, all displayed to entice.

And with two choices of gravy and a wide range of condiments we couldn’t wait to get stuck in.

The meat was served first with the option of just one variety or a combination of all three, and then, it was time for the vegetables. Keeping to tradition, I personally returned to the vegetable trolley on several occasions filling my plate each time. The kids ate most of the Yorkshires by themselves and my wife stayed with the single portion.

After finishing my third plate I had to surrender and admit defeat - the fact that every one else finished quite a bit before me and were in awe of my attempt hadn’t slowed me down.

Overall the meal was just what the doctor ordered, a Sunday roast carvery and lots of it.

And at £8.95 per person and £3.50 per child; there where certainly no complaints from us.

Beating heart disease Horsham salon shows it’s got heart with generous donations to the British Heart Foundation, ahead of the charity’s 50th anniversary James Hood Business Editor

james@the-resident.co.uk

A local hairdressers is helping to ‘mend broken hearts’ by donating 5% of its profits to the British Heart Foundation.

Clippers hair salon on Kempshott Road in Horsham agreed to make the generous donations after one of its owners, Chris Scott, suffered a heart attack.

He said: “I was a relatively healthy person for my age. I enjoyed cycling and swimming so I was shocked to learn I had had a heart attack and had to have several stents to open my arteries. It can happen to anyone”.

Chris’ wife Pat, who runs the salon, feels it is important to do what

they can for the charity. Pat said: “We know that the work of the British Heart Foundation is vital and so we wanted to give something back. Chris had such good care and the research that they fund is so important and is saving lives”.

The salon has recently been refurbished and staff members there are looking forward to welcoming their loyal customers back and new ones through the doors, all of whom will be supporting the worthy cause, without paying a penny more for their haircut.

Gerry Howard, Chairman of the British Heart Foundation’s Horsham and Crawley branch said: “Heart disease can affect us all. We are so grateful to Chris and Pat for their kind offer, because it means the business and its customers will provide much

needed funds”.

The British Heart Foundation’s vision is a world in which people don’t die prematurely from heart disease, the UK’s biggest killer. It aims to contribute to this through pioneering research, vital prevention activity and ensuring quality care and support for everyone affected.

This year, the charity celebrates its 50th anniversary. To mark this achievement it is launching a new campaign to raise £50 million over the next decade.

Called the Mending Broken Hearts Appeal, the money raised will be used to fund regeneration medicine to find a way of repairing or replacing damaged heart muscle.

Visit the salon at 82A Kempshott Road or call 01403 272372 for more information.

Want better broadband?

West Sussex County Council would like to hear from businesses in the area with their views on internet broadband services.

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

More than 2,000 residents filled in a survey run by the County Council at the end of last year giving their views on broadband coverage and the same is now being run for businesses.

Cabinet member for Environment and Economy Deborah Urquhart

said: “The internet is vital for many businesses, especially those that are run from home, and we want to do all we can to enable better broadband coverage in West Sussex.

“We’re asking West Sussex businesses to help us understand which areas are affected by poor internet connection. All survey responses will be used to help persuade service providers and network operators to invest in badly needed improvements to the broadband infrastructure.

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

Responses to the survey will be used by the County Council as evidence when lobbying for improvements and towards bids for funding that could help bring improved quality broadband to the county.

The survey is available at westsussex.gov.uk/broadband and printed copies of the questionnaire are available from West Sussex Libraries or by calling 01243 642119. The deadline for responses is Monday March 28.

roof panels and extra thick insulation.

David Standfast, Saxon Weald’s Chief Executive, said: “This is a real flagship development for us – homes of the highest standard that will not only save our residents money, but will help Saxon Weald do its bit for

the environment.”

The £6 million development will consist of 17 houses and 21 flats. Five of the flats are for adults with learning difficulties. It has been funded by the Homes and Communities Agency and Horsham District Council.

Advice from the expert Q

I recently started to think about the future and ways to ensure financial security for my family. I am worried that I could leave behind a large Inheritance Tax Bill and wondered what I can do to reduce it?

Philip Lansberry, Director of Spofforths Private Client Services Team

A

When surviving spouses, including civil partners, were given the right to offset against the value of their estate any unused IHT allowance left over from their late spouse’s estate there was generous applause from all quarters. But this concession has brought about the almost complete demise of the nil rate band will trust.

Further investigation might reveal the need to have not one but two such trusts however. This would apply to those who remarry after the death of their first spouse, and for the spouses of such persons. Such occurrences are not so uncommon these days and the very considerable IHT savings available are invariably not fully appreciated following a second marriage.

For those who have included a nil rate band will trust in their wills and are wondering whether or not to keep it, each case should be reviewed very carefully as the current IHT regime could change. Other will trusts including spousal by-pass trusts are also not used to the extent necessary to ensure those who could benefit from them do so.

Estate planning per se can be really dull but knowing that the time spent will save the next generation considerable amounts of IHT, leaving them with more of the family wealth to enjoy, should put a smile on their faces.

It was the advertising legend David Ogilvy who said, “When I write an advertisement, I don’t want you to tell me that you find it creative. I want you to find it so interesting that you buy the product.”

If you’re advertising in a local publication your aim should be to increase sales. If you build an abundance of goodwill too that’s wonderful but don’t lose sight of the fact that sales and plenty of them are the lifeblood of your business.

I’ve spent many years in advertising, along the way obsessively studying what is needed to create a great advert and, writing a fair few that have notched up awards for generating the highest reader responses within the publication.

What I can tell you from experience is that local publications provide a powerful, cost effective channel through which to engage a local audience.

The sums are pretty tempting. On the plus side, you can attract a whole legion of new customers for a modest outlay. On the down side, if despite your very best efforts your advert fails to bring home the bacon, there isn’t such a big dent in your budget to remind you.

So, let’s look at the crucial ingredient for a winning advert. Your headline has to stop the reader in their tracks before they turn the page. Can you promise a benefit in your headline?

For example, “Lose Your Fear of Public Speaking in Three Short Sessions” has more impact than “Public Speaking Training”.

By the way, putting your headline in quotes can increase reader recall by up to 28%.

What about the body of your

advert? Focus on two or three compelling benefits underpinned with genuine testimonial from a delighted customer.

Is there one big promise your advert can communicate? For example do you offer an unbeatable price guarantee; an experience that’s out of this world; free delivery; products and services that readers would be hard pushed to find elsewhere? Include your awards, accreditations and qualifications too - they reinforce your credibility and expertise.

If you’re going to use images, make sure they’re of a good quality and consider captioning them, including a benefit. More people read the captions on the images than the body copy itself. Can you make a decent special offer - limited to a number of readers, with a close date and so encourage early responses?

Finally don’t forget to include your contact details. If you want readers visiting your website, give them a positive taster of what they’ll find, download invaluable top tips, get your free voucher, discover what other local customers have said about our restaurant, and so on.

I’ll leave you with a few words from another advertising sage, Raymond Rubicam. He believed that impact was at the heart of a successful advert defining it thus: “Impact is that quality in an advertisement which strikes suddenly against the readers’ indifference and enlivens their mind to receive your sales message.”

Going for gold

Horsham Area

Gig Guide

With the Academy Awards this weekend, Julia Martin takes a look at some of the films in the running for one of the movie industry’s highest accolades The Oscars have come a long way since the first ceremony at a private hotel banquet in 1929, when just 270 people attended, guests had to pay $5 and the winners were known ahead of time.

Over 2,700 gold-plated statuettes have been handed out since MGM art director Cedric Gibbons designed what is now arguably the most recognised trophy in the world.

Sunday, February 27 is the night when we finally learn which films will pick up this year’s prestigious awards. There is a wide selection of both British and American films of outstanding quality this year and it will be a very hard decision for the academy. I predict The King’s Speech, with 12 nominations, will pick up a cluster of awards, including Actor in a Leading Role for Colin Firth and Actor in a Supporting Role for Geoffrey Rush. However my view is that the Best Picture award will belong to True Grit with 10 nominations, and beautifully directed by the Coen brothers. The favourites for the award for Actress in a Supporting Role are 14-year-old Haillee Steinfeld, who plays Mattie Ross in True Grit and Helena Bonham Carter from The King’s Speech - the jury is out on that one.

Both The King’s Speech and True Grit depict struggle and

The King of the world and the coward The Man Who Left The Titanic tells the story of Bruce Ismay, managing Director of the stricken ship, who escaped alone in a lifeboat.

His actions pose the question; was he a coward, or merely human? And will leave the audience asking themselves what they would do in the same situation.

Starring Pat Abernethy and Dave Marsden and directed by Jim Dunk, the play is showing in The Studio at The Capitol on Friday, March 11 at 8pm.

To book tickets contact the Box Office on 01403 750220 or visit thecapitolhorsham.com

determination in the face of adversity and this seems to be a recurring theme throughout the selection this year. During times of economic hardship and widespread political unrest, we all are inspired by stories that show victory over what seem insurmountable obstacles. We see The Fighter nominated for seven nominations and Black Swan nominated for five awards. Both these films have been screened at the Capitol in the last couple of weeks and dealt with the pressures and physical demands of boxing and world-class ballet. Even Toy Story 3 showed us toys trying to defeat bullies and find their way back home.

And the nominations for Best Picture are…

Black Swan The Fighter Inception The Kids Are All Right The King’s Speech 127 Hours The Social Network Toy Story 3 True Grit Winter’s Bone

The Kings Speech is showing at The Capitol until tomorrow (Saturday

March 4 to March 11 True Grit - 10 nominations A remake of the 1969 John Wayne film which follows the one eyed bounty hunter, Rooster Cogburn, played by Jeff Bridges, on his quest to bring the murderer of 14 year old Mattie Ross’s father to justice. The problem is that the young girl insists on joining him

on his mission. Matt Damon completes the cast in this remake by the Coen Brothers.

March 11 to March 17 Biutiful - 2 nominations Nominated for Best Foreign Film and Actor in a Leading Role. Javier Bardem is Uxbal, a man who struggles between the duties of fatherhood, love, spirituality, crime and guilt against the backdrop of the dangerous Barcelona underworld.

The Social Network – ‘Like’ James Hood

Review

The Social Network

It’s ironic really; that the film about a computer nerd who created Facebook in his college dorm room turns out to be so incredibly cool.

Director David Fincher has done a stellar job at keeping it moving at lighting speed, with very few scenes more than two or three minutes long.

Plus it boasts a fashionable cast of rising stars.

Although loosely based on the story of Mark Zuckerberg, played by Jessie Eisenberg, who goes from supergeek to super powerful (he was Time magazine’s person of 2010), the film is still packed with surprises.

You will leave a little more enlightened about how the social networking website was created - and will probably rush home to update your status.

But this movie, nicknamed ‘the Facebook film’ by the less enthusiastic is not really about Facebook at all. It’s a tale of betrayal, greed, friendship, social class and how one person had

Saturday 26th Febuary Hollows Of Venus at The Malt Shovel, Horsham

James Hood finds out how the founder of Facebook made 500 million friends and a few enemies in The (surprisingly slick) Social Network an idea that made him a billionaire – who hasn’t day dreamed about that?

The original score is funky and adds a sense of urgency and occasion to the creation of the website. And everything is shot with the most exquisite of backdrops, from the richly historic Harvard University to the lavish restaurants and bars.

It’s totally technophobe-friendly too, with hardly any flashy close ups of computer monitors or illegible code being written at speed. Instead, screen time is dedicated to the very easy-on-the-eye Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake, as well as tense and witty scenes between Eisenberg and the upper class college elite who are suing him.

If you think you’ve read all there is to know about the Facebook founder in the press, think again. This movie is surprising, entertaining, captivating from the start and doesn’t lose pace. It is thoroughly deserving of its Oscar nominations. See it at The Capitol from February 25 to March 3.

Celebrating 15 years of horrors

The Circus of Horrors is on tour to celebrate 15 years of gruesome on stage antics and it’s coming to The Capitol on March 10.

The new show, called ‘The Four Chapters from Hell’ follows the success of previous productions ‘The Asylum’ and ‘Day of the Dead’ and promises some of the greatest and most bizarre circus acts.

Four Chapters from Hell takes its audience back to the beginning and to the French Asylum where inmates were liberated. After killing their leader, filled with remorse they move across to Mexico to try and revive him in the Day of the Dead celebrations. The show moves into Victorian London in the 1890s and the story of Ragan, a young girl born in the asylum, who runs away to the circus before becoming a vampire. But vampires never die, and so the show moves on the year 2020, when Ragan is seeking revenge.

The show is not for the faint-hearted, but promises to be a musical and visual masterpiece.

Highlights include sword swallowers, knife throwers, and a cast of 26 of the weirdest and wonderful performers on earth.

The Doctor will see you now Showing on

the big screen The Social Network Based on the true story of Mark Zuckerberg, the Harvard student who created social networking website Facebook in his dorm room.

He quickly became the world’s youngest billionaire, making 500 million friends, and a few enemies along the way. See our review on page 19. Showing at The Capitol from Friday, February 25.

No Strings Attached Romantic comedy in which Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher decide to be ‘friends with benefits’ on the understanding that they don’t fall in love with each other. As their relationship gets physical, whether they can remain just friends, remains to be seen. Showing at The Capitol from Friday, February 25.

Before the Circus of Horrors comes to town to terrorise The Capitol’s audience Julia Martin braves an interview with its creator, Dr Haze.

Dr Haze was born into circus life in Scotland, where his father was a lion tamer.

After a period of family disruption, the family reunited to create a circus in Ireland which involved the young Haze (Haze is his middle name and he is not a doctor!) learning to eat fire and master the art of the fakir (otherwise known as walking across a bed of nails) all in just a couple of days. He jokingly calls this his baptism of fire.

He believes that the appeal of the circus as a form of escapism is based on the fact that everyone likes the idea of being scared, but

not harmed, and this forms the core of the huge attraction of this circus.

He tells me that audiences have risen by 20% during the recent economic downturn and circus is experiencing a renaissance worldwide.

Despite the gruesome aspects, Circus of Horrors proves to be an entertaining evening and it is wonderful to marvel at the talent of the performers and their latest show has all the thrills of a circus combined with the music of a rock concert. See it at The Capitol on March 10.

Stand-up for Sunday evenings Steve Goodwin

Review

Barnstormers Comedy, Feb 20

Sunday evenings don’t need to be spent lamenting the end of the weekend or dreading Monday.

Horsham’s only regular comedy night takes place at The Capitol every 3rd Sunday of the month, and we went to see how it’s coming along.

The regular compere Kevin Precious hosted, and warmed up the room with the help of the front row.

It’s a relationship that he builds up and returns to between acts and intervals and works well to bind the

evening together. Kevin packs his patter with local references which makes everyone feel welcome.

After the atmosphere had been fully enlivened, the first act was Meryl O’Rourke. Full of confidence, Meryl focused much of her material on herself and her youthful appearance. She did a good job of mixing light-hearted banter with serious issues.

After an interval and brief interlude from Kevin, Paul Redwood came out for a short 5 minute slot. With great stage presence, Paul endeared himself to the audience with a lot of kids-based jokes and some well constructed cultural material.

Next up was George Egg, a

seasoned comic and Barnstormers regular. George’s set consisted of a variety of hilarious magic tricks and prop usage, entwined with his unique brand of fast, clever wit which delighted everyone.

The final segment of the show featured Paddy Lennox, whose natural irish charm made him instantly likeable. He switched between observational humour and some quickwitted audience involvement and his fresh style went down well with all.

Barnstormers Comedy is next at The Capitol on Sunday March 20. For £10 a ticket, you’re laughing.

Health & Lifestyle

Are you skipping into spring?

Julia Martin Health & Lifestyle

julia.martin@the-resident.co.uk

We all had a glimpse of spring last week and in typical British fashion, people dumped their winter coats and sported jackets - I even saw a young woman walking around in a sleeveless dress!

What is it about us that we throw caution to the wind once there is a hint of sun? Despite the old saying ‘Never cast a clout till May is out’, we British can disrobe faster than Superman turns into Clark Kent at the sight of the first sunny day. It is not uncommon to see young women and middle aged men sporting shorts and vests in beach style at Easter. Although there are many who may enjoy this spectacle, it can be far from pleasant as winter flesh needs some browning before being revealed in large quantities.

This is the time of year when we can sense it in the air, we can hear

the birds and see the extra hours of light but we are not quite there yet.

Spring is just around the corner. It beckons us to gradually change our clothing and instill some magic into our tired winter wardrobes. We are aware that our hibernation stores of fat have to go and we need to tone our limbs. We welcome the sun but it can be revealing and cruel so we need to work quickly!

Some of the cheapest and most effective aerobic exercises around are the childhood exercises of hula hooping and skipping! Hula hoop classes are becoming popular and the sense of achievement at keeping the hoop up is addictive. Although, as regular readers will know, I am not a fan of the Wii Fit trainer, I have to confess to loving their hula hoop sessions particularly as I seem to be good at it! Skipping brings back many childhood memories although it can be a little hard on the mammaries so wear a good bra (if you are female of course!) Why not take advantage of half term and rope (ouch!) the kids

in too?

This also seems to be the season of award ceremonies where the film and recording industries wheel out the celebrities to celebrate the successes of the year. One of the highlights for me had to be the appearance of Mick Jagger at the Grammy awards, who at well into his sixties, was seen dancing with more verve and energy than any of the teenage youth as he sang a Blues Brother classic to a captivated audience and proved that old rockers never die! We can take heart from the fact that old age seems to have been postponed further and all of us are living longer and more healthy lives.

Our role models prove that you can still look and feel fabulous at any age.

We have only to look at Twiggy and Joanna Lumley to see how true this is.

My own mother is 72 but with a slim figure, gorgeous hair and great dress sense, she still stops traffic, not so she can cross the road, but so they can get a better look at her!

Glamour never fades and watching the celebrities walking up the red

carpet, you may be tempted to copy or imitate the look of your favourite star, and who better to help you than the experts at the Make Up Box? If you have a special occasion or you just want a fresh look, then Paula and her team are on hand with the ‘up to the minute’ looks and techniques including airbrushing. Read their column this week and watch out, next week, for their big launch offers.

La Vida, the boutique, is well known for stocking dresses by designers who have created designs for the red carpet celebrities, so head down to their shop in Piries Place to secure your own individual style which will turn heads.

Finally, wouldn’t it be a great idea to give yourself an award? I will give myself the award for 100 skips and enjoy a chocolate Flake! Oops. Enjoy!

Open the door to love Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art which explores the use of the five elements; fire, earth, water, wood and metal in a space.

As the South West area governs love and relationships, it is important to keep this area open to the energies.

Last year Janine told us about a young woman who had consulted her about finding a new relationship.

She wanted Janine to help her find a house with a front door that opened onto the South West to maximise her chances of love.

Janine has heard again from the young woman who has found a new man and is enjoying a happy relationship.

Janine offers advice on all aspects of life, so do consult her through her web site. Janine gives her this tip this week: “With the advent of the Chinese New year, Rabbits and Dogs are well favoured for Romance as early as March. So for all you Rabbits and Dogs out there, open the door to love by clearing out your South West area.”

Learn to Run is back!

Following the success of last year’s ‘Learn to Run’ course, Horsham Joggers are starting a new course on Tuesday March 1st 2011.

Last year saw nearly 35 new runners take up the challenge, with many completing a 5k race in Battersea Park to celebrate their achievements.

Running in a group took away a lot of the nerves that people experienced before the first night, with high points described as “meeting other ‘beginners’ and therefore not feeling quite so self-conscious” and “the other people on the course – it really felt like a team.”

The course will take you from nothing up to 5k (about 30 minutes of running) over 10 weeks. The main meetings are at 7pm on Tuesdays at Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre.

Each week you’ll hear a half-hour talk on subjects ranging from shoes to nutrition, stretching and clothes. The group will then go out for a run. Runs will start off slowly, and you’ll gradually build up your running time and confidence over the 10 weeks.

There are additional group runs on Thursdays at 7pm and Sundays at 9am. We strongly encourage you to run three times a week, but if you can’t make the Thursday or Sunday runs then it’s fine to head out to practise on your own.

So if you’ve ever thought about running, 2011 is time to take the plunge! Contact Catherine on 07552 755490 or cath@cathbooth.co.uk for more information and to book.

In the first of her regular columns, The Makeup Box’s Patsy talks broken resolutions, rouge, and the effort it takes for us women to retain our fabulousness.

Boy, am I glad to see the back of February!

Even though I turned 26 again that month, it really is my worst time of the year. Christmas celebrations are not just a thing of the recent past, but vehemently deleted from the memory as we race into abstinence and denying oneself any pleasures at all, quite frankly.

So how are we all doing on the ‘new regime’ front? I made a couple of new year’s resolutions which I am sad to say were probably a bit ambitious.

The first was that I would get better with my computer, I pledged to run more and I promised myself I would make more of an effort with

my appearance!

So far, to my horror, I managed to delete Microsoft Office from my PC... yes the whole thing! So strike the first resolution! As for the running, well let’s just say that Paula Radcliffe has no need to worry at the moment, so that just leaves my pledge to keep up the old physical appearance.

I took my make-up bag into the office so that Paula and Karen could do a bit of ‘review’ on it.

It took quite a while to stop them laughing, but when I did they started with dirty, ‘scraggy’ brushes that Paula apparently wouldn’t dust her window sills with (honestly some people are SO fussy!), they accused

my mascara of being a year old (a serious bacteria alert according to them!), my lipsticks were stuck in an 80’s timewarp and they worked out that my eyeshadows hadn’t actually been worn because apparently I have no idea how to put them on! I mean really!

Then they got really personal... my bright pink candy cream blusher with added fluff and hair stuck on it, and the fact that everything in the make up bag is covered in brown powder (small accident one night in the ladies loos after one too many cocktails – favourite bronzer went from one solid mass into a mosaic of powder and… well bronze!) was a true indicator

that I needed their help.

Apparently the task is such a large one that I have booked myself in for a make up lesson so these angels can teach me how to use the correct colours, tones and applications that will

actually take the years off me rather than piling a few on as I have been!

We all remember the Bridge Jones’ bad blusher moment, well, she has nothing on me! I’ll let you know how I get on…

Former water mill for sale Knight Frank in Horsham, is delighted to launch onto the market Wanford Mill, a charming converted Grade II listed former water mill and converted barn situated in an idyllic and private location on the banks of the River Arun having Riparian fishing rights.

The property is believed to have been a working mill until shortly before World War II when it was converted to a private dwelling, creating a home of distinct character with all principal rooms enjoying views of the mill pond, river and open pastureland beyond.

The rooms throughout the mill are well-proportioned with good ceiling heights and retain main original features including exposed timbers and, on the second floor, the remains of the sack hoists.

The mill is set well within its land and within the grounds is a renovated detached period barn offering excellent ancillary facilities.

Situated to the south of the barn is a secluded mature garden with areas of lawn. To one side is a greenhouse and to the other side a range of timber stables/storage comprising two stables and a tack room. Adjoining the mill house is a brick terrace overlooking the river. The mill race extends under the mill house opening

into a large mill pond and then into the leat beyond.

Between the mill pond and the river is a large area of lawn inset with a number of fine mature trees and

leading to an open area of pasture.

Situated in this lovely rural location on the edge of the hamlet of Bucks Green the mill also benefits from good local amenities including a

It is very frustrating when you are on the market and you see potential buyers coming and going whilst others houses in the area constantly replace their For Sale boards with Sold stickers.

The first thing to say is that every single property is perfectly saleable – it is simply not true that location is everything; if this were true it would mean every house under a flight path, backing a railway line or next to a pub would be empty. Rather, it is that every property will sell if it represents fair value – for instance, a house backing a railway line may not be ideal from a noise point of view, but as long as it offers an extra bedroom or a far larger garden than the competition for a similar price, it will always sell well.

There are only two reasons why your house hasn’t sold; either the price is wrong or you are using the wrong estate agent; sometimes it can be both !

If your price is wrong, your agent should be able to ascertain after about 4 weeks of marketing what the correct price should be. They should do this using data collected from property websites, viewing feedback, advert response rates and performance of comparable properties.

If they do this exercise properly, it will become clear what the revised price needs to be. It is much better to re-price the property once and achieve your sale rather than be tempted to simply shave a little off the price as inevitably it won’t achieve the desired effect and you will undoubtedly have to go through the exercise again and again.

If you are using the wrong agent, then the problem is more significant - you do not want to reduce the price unnecessarily when all that was required was a change of firm. If your agent is not exposing your property on a comprehensive range of property websites, is not advertsing it in the local property papers, is not requesting a For Sale board, does not display it prominently in their office window displays and is not pro-actively and systematically contacting all the applicants on their databases then the problem is simply that not enough buyers know about your house or have been actively encouraged to view it. This is easily resolved by changing to a more professional agent who has the time and the commitment to treat your house with the same respect and attention to detaila as your neighbours agent did.

Many potential home owners believe that 2011 could be a good time to purchase their first property. With house prices reducing to levels not seen for many years and interest rates at record lows, there assumption would appear correct. Job security is obviously a concern, but the main stumbling block could be securing funding.

Q A

How can first time buyers improve their chances of obtaining a mortgage?

At present Lenders are very adverse to any type of risk. They are also taking the regulators instruction of “responsible lending” very seriously. However, there are many things that first time buyers could do, to improve there chances of their application being accepted.

Deposit – The larger the deposit, the less risk to the lender.

Credit Score – Make sure all current financial commitments are up to date and paid on time.

Conduct of bank account – Make sure there are no refused direct debits or bounced cheques. Ideally, make sure the balance is in credit, but certainly never over an agreed overdraft limit.

Employment history – The more stable your employment history the better, somebody that has only been in their job for three months, will be deemed high risk.

Voters Roll – Make sure you are registered at your current address. The fewer addresses you have lived at in the past three years, the better.

Documents – Make sure you can provide evidence of all income’s that you receive. Also have at least two forms of identification and at least three months bank statements.

First time buyers are still having applications granted by Banks and Building Societies, but applying to the right place is of paramount importance.

Duncan Jagger MRICS Chartered Surveyor Harper James

Q A

I own a 1920’s house in Warnham, What can I do to protect it from the ravages of the harsh winter weather and reduce my soaring heating bills?

As we enter the spring months following a winter of snow and heavy rainfall in the Horsham area, I would urge householders to be aware of the damaging effects of the treacherous weather conditions to their home.

Surveyors warn that following the winter months, it could reveal areas which need improving or repairing – especially before next winter.

Chartered surveyor Duncan Jagger says: The exterior of a house will take a battering during these extremely harsh weather conditions. So once the weather starts to improve, a 360 degree assessment of its condition is advisable – think roof, walls, floors, windows and doors. These need to be improved and repaired by sealing and insulating better where possible.

But it is not just the exterior of a property that can be damaged by sub-zero temperatures.

Duncan added: Letting a property breathe warm air out is just as important as stopping cold air from coming in. Today’s lifestyle of showers, washing up, periodic short bouts of heating throughout the day and a lack of ventilation can lead to a build-up of what amounts daily to litres of water which forms condensation and damp on windows, walls, floors and ceilings. This problem can be reduced by simply opening the windows every now and then.”

I recommend that householders carry out a winter property audit once the weather improves and if at all concerned to ask a chartered surveyor for advice and use professional trade people to carry our repairs. Areas that need to be covered are: Roof – this can be inspected safely from ground level using binoculars • Inspect the roof and replace any cracked tiles • If chimney pots are in place but not in-use consider protecting them, by fitting ventilated cowls • Inspect the flashings around chimney stacks and at abutments - replace defective ones and re-fix any that are loose

Loft • Check the insulation is in good condition and that there are no areas where insulation is missing. You may be surprised but today’s standards are 270mm.

• Avoid over insulating as it is important that the tanks and pipes in the loft do not freeze, so do not insulate below the tank and make sure the lid is on the cold-water tank Gutters/drains • Clear of any left over twigs/leaves and debris - take particular care that the gulleys are clear as overflowing gutters can drench walls and cause damage • Check for signs of leaking gutters and rainwater pipes

Walls • 33 per cent of heat lost in the home is through the walls - cavity wall insulation is a good option • Check the pointing – frost can play havoc with poorly maintained walls • Make sure water can run off the property; fill gaps to cement angle fillets at wall junctions Windows • Check perimeters of all windows to make sure water flows away from glass and doesn’t collect on the sill, or drain behind it • It is important to minimize drafts - if double-glazing is not in place (it cuts heat loss through windows by 50 percent), consider fitting cheaper options such as secondary glazing or put polythene across the window frames • Curtains can make a big difference to heat loss Doors • Stop draughts through letterboxes by fitting a cover and put a sealant around the door frames

Floor boards • If there are stripped floors in place consider putting down rugs in the winter to reduce drafts up between the boards

Heating systems • Check your heating system is in order; service boilers, insulate hot water tanks, bleed radiators • Make sure that climbing plants, shrubs and bushes do not object boiler flues - if this is the case the boiler should be inspected immediately by a specialist These simple tasks will not only help householders keep warmer during any more harsh weather conditions. But they will significantly reduce soaring energy bills and can be undertaken safely in the home.

However, it is essential to seek the advice of a Chartered Surveyor and reputable builder when looking to complete larger jobs. For further advise contact Duncan Jagger MRICS. duncanjagger@harper-james.co.uk

Toyota to showcase Hybrid future Olli Nott Motors Reporter

olli@the-resident.co.uk

Toyota will unveil the next major advances in its hybrid power technology strategy for sustainable future transport at the Geneva motor show in March.

The occasion will mark the world debut of Yaris Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD), a new concept indicating a production model that will provide Toyota full hybrid power to the Bsegment – Europe’s largest market sector. The next step in Toyota’s roll-out of full hybrid versions of its complete model range in Europe, the Yaris HSD concept, incorporates

hybrid-specific styling cues and new forward-looking design elements, such as the energy efficient LED rear lighting.

The Prius family will be growing with the arrival of the Prius+, also to be unveiled at Geneva. This will be the first car to offer European customers the versatility of seven seats with a full hybrid powertrain. As its name suggests, Prius+ – similar to the Prius v that was unveiled in North America last month – provides significantly more passenger accommodation and loadspace than its sister hatchback model, without sacrificing essential Prius attributes, such as class-leading fuel economy and ultra-low emissions.

The latest generation of Prius is now one of the most futuristic looking vehicles on the market. When the first generation Prius appeared, it felt aesthetically far from the technology it concealed, but the current and concept Prii (the plural of Prius!) are more up to date and in line with the technology teeming within its chassis.

Going beyond the world-first presentations of the Yaris HSD and Prius+, Toyota will also be demonstrating the versatility of hybrid power technologies to achieve high efficiency and low or zero emissions in a wide range of vehicle types, including Plug-in Hybrids (PHV), Electric Vehicles (EV) and Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles (FCHV).

They have proven it can be done with their sub-brand Lexus, which has used Hybrid powertrains on the LS, GS and RX models, all high rollers in the luxury segment, and are now aiming to offer customers a hybrid option for the whole model range.

Competitors be warned, Toyota have set the bar high.

Green Land Rovers, and not just in colour!

Land Rover’s stand at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show will establish this year as one of the most exciting in the brand’s history.

A hybrid technology showcase, the new Range Rover Evoque in both coupe and 5-door derivatives, and exciting Discovery 4 and Range Rover Limited Editions complete the line-up before the new models are released next year.

One in three to consider electric One in three motorists would consider buying an electric car in the next 12 months according to a new survey by Motorpoint.

The online poll by the car supermarket giant found 41% of people quizzed were impressed enough by the new generation of electric cars coming onto the market such as the Mitsubishi iMiEV and Nissan LEAF to invest in one at some point in the near future. Over 1,900 people participated in the study at “www.motorpoint.co.uk” Says David Shelton, Managing Director of Motorpoint: “It is clear that there is likely to be an initial take-up of electric cars from the so-called ‘early adopters’. However, to ensure mass take-up, manufacturers still need to urgently address key factors

such as price, range, reliability and residual values, as these issues are likely to hold back the vast majority of people from buying an electric car in the short to medium term.”

EVs, being a new technology and also very expensive, usually put most people off with the initial cost, normally in the region of £12,000 upwards. Only capable of around 60 miles on a single charge, this is a lot for something that isn’t as capable as its cheaper siblings, which have a much greater range. The introduction of the EV grant however would boost the sales of Electric Vehicles, then allowing the prices to start decreasing, but if the success of the grant is too great, it would probably be cut short, much like the scrappage schemes of 2009 and 2010.

Amex Stadium dream is still alive for ‘abysmal’ Horsham hornetsreview.co.uk Football

Steve Davies’ late equaliser kept alive Horsham’s dreams of a first Sussex Senior Cup final appearance since 2006, but it didn’t stop boss John Maggs criticising his team.

Substitute Davies forced extra time by striking in the first minute of stoppage time, cancelling out Darren Boswell’s goal for the hosts.

Lee Farrell marked his first appearance in more than two years with the Hornets’ second in the second period of extra time, but Nick Fogden forced a quarter-final replay with an equaliser seven minutes from time.

The Hornets still have a chance of contesting the first match at the American Express Community Stadium, Brighton and Hove Albion’s spectacular new home, on July 16.

But Maggs admitted: “I’m really disappointed. We won the first half, no question, and if Williams Peauroux had scored from a decent chance then we would have settled down and gone on from there.

“We were absolutely abysmal in the second half. Burgess Hill weren’t much better, but we gave them a bit of encouragement after the break and they scored to give themselves something to build on.

“Thank god for Anthony Storey, that’s all I can say. He didn’t stop running all night. We got to 90 minutes and it looked like we were out of the competition.

“Anthony went on another run, put in a good cross and Steve Davies was there to score a decent goal.

“We were very fortunate to go in front. Shane Graham got the ball and bundled his way past the right back and it should have been a free kick to Burgess Hill, but he went on and hit the ball across.

After extra time

“Lee Farrell must have been offside, but he was able to virtually backheel the ball into the net. We all looked across at the linesman, but he didn’t have his flag up so we were very fortunate.

“All we had to do then was to take control of the game, but we went and let them equalise with a poor goal.

We just weren’t good enough.

“We have got to shuffle things around, but I can’t do that with the finances we’ve got.

“Maybe I have to let someone go to bring another player in, but when you’re without players like Ben Andrews and Jamie Cade, then Gary Charman goes off with a hamstring injury, you’re going to struggle.”

Horsham’s league match at Carshalton Athletic on Saturday finished goalless, but there was no shortage of entertainment as the Hornets extended their unbeaten record at Colston Avenue to six games.

Gary Charman’s 20-yarder forced a fine save from Athletic gloveman Craig Ross and Pat Harding had a strong case for a penalty when he went down under Dan Young’s challenge.

Billy Dunn smacked a terrific shot that beat Ross only to cannon off the underside of the crossbar, with Horsham fans hopefully claiming the ball had crossed the line.

The Hornets came under pressure in the closing stages, but were good value for their point.

Axe hovers over YM players after latest defeat Tom Norris Football

the-resident.co.uk/sport

Any hope of a miraculous escape from relegation was all but washed away for Horsham YMCA fans as their side slumped to a 21st league defeat.

YM paid for sloppy defending and lapses in concentration as they were undone by two soft goals by Dave Stevens, leaving the hosts 10 points from safety.

Manager John Cumberbatch said of his players: “They have all got to believe that it’s worth putting in the effort and that we can pick up points.

“I need to find out if there are any of them who are just playing for the sake of it and whether or not they really do believe we can still get out of this.

“If there are any players who don’t truly believe we can – and I think there are probably one or two who don’t – then I need to get rid of them because that is not going to help us.

“Every time we have picked up one point or even three, the teams above

have more or less matched us.

“This has been difficult, but we have to remember it can all so suddenly change. We are going to keep working at it and until it’s mathematically impossible I will always believe it can be done.”

I need to find out if ‘there are any who are just playing for the sake of it ’

After only five minutes, new boy Mark Gradielski linked up neatly with striker Gavin Gordon before his fierce shot was well smothered by Jamie Norris.

And it wasn’t long before Norris was called into action again, this time tipping over a fizzing volley from Kieran Mercer after an exquisite cross

by Scott Harris.

YM goalkeeper Mark Fox tipped away Chris Kiganda’s shot and debutant winger Michael Abnett went close with a scorching drive at the other end.

The visitors went ahead just a minute after the break. Lively substitute Gabriel Odunaike tricked his way past Harris before delivering a floated cross, Fox parried Kiganda’s shot and Stevens tapped in.

Fox produced a string of fine saves and Daryl Plummer was lucky to escape with just a yellow card for a clumsy challenge on Stevens when

the forward was clean through.

Godalming wasted the resulting free kick and YM took the ball up the other end, Mercer feeding Gordon whose shot was superbly kept out by the ever-acrobatic Norris.

The visitors’ second came when Mercer gave the ball away, Kiganda intercepted and Odunaike’s shot was helped over the line by Stevens.

Cumberbatch added: “In the first half we were definitely the stronger side. We created better chances than they did and came into half time

Storrington held to Ransom Nick Hind Football

the-resident.co.uk/sport

Aaron Ransom helped send Mile Oak up to sixth with a cracking brace to see off Storrington in a ‘thrills and spills’ encounter at the Rec. The two in-form sides produced a classic, fighting it out in a contest that could have gone either way until the death.

It was like a training session of attack against defence in the first quarter as the home side squandered three great chances, the best falling to Kristian Harding who hit a post from half a yard.

And they were made to pay when Ransom fired Mile Oak in front after 20 minutes, with their first attack of the match.

Usually so dogged in defence, Storrington allowed the striker to waltz into firing range 40 yards out before he squeaked a low drive in off a post.

It was double trouble for the Swans soon after when the improving visitors extended their lead through Wayne Whittington, set up by Gary French as Storrington were again caught cold.

The visitors rattled the crossbar early in the second half, but the Swans’ go-to man, Tim Martin, shuddered the bar too before finding the net with a perfect curler.

Oak’s two-goal cushion, turning on the edge of the area before unleashing a left-footed tracer past unsighted Kieran Gillard.

Harding set up a grandstand finish when his hopeful cross from the right touchline flew into the top left corner, but the Oak refused to panic and closed out the final minutes with relative ease.

Swans boss Ricky Hamilton said: “We had to make some changes at the back, but I was bitterly disappointed with the way we defended.”

feeling quite confident. All we had to do was make sure we gave that little bit of extra effort and extra quality.

“One of the things we spoke about was that in the first 10 minutes of the second half we needed to be at full concentration. And what happened?

We came out and gave a goal away.

“I don’t think the spirit in the side is enough to get ourselves back into a game. Everybody draws on their past experience and the past experience for all of us is that once we go a goal down we lose.”

Kieran Mercer takes on Damian Smith

Match called off after mix-up Steyning Town’s match against Little Common was called off due to an administration error – even though the Sussex County League knew days beforehand there could be a problem.

The postponement followed a series of emails between Matthew James (MJ), Sport Editor at The Resident, and Tony Ford (TF), fixtures secretary for the Sussex County League.

MJ, Tuesday, February 15, 7.14pm scfl.org.uk shows Steyning Town at home on Friday (7.45pm), but The Argus and Steyning’s under-construction website has it as 2pm on Saturday.

Please can you tell me which is correct?

Saturday, February 19, with a 3pm kick-off.

MJ, Wednesday, February 16, 12.51pm Unfortunately I now have three versions – Friday 7.45pm (from your website), Saturday 2pm (from The Argus and Steyning’s under-construction website) and Saturday 3pm (from your email).

It would be good to have a definitive date and time.

TF, Thursday, February 17, 10.36am As far as I am aware, it is a 3pm kickoff.

The Resident emailed Mr Ford again on Sunday night, asking for an explanation of the postponement, but had not received a reply by the time we went to press.

A victory without Chi-fives Skipper not happy as Green need 10-point penalty to beat 14 men Harry Swetman Rugby Union

Barns Green captain Andrew Potter criticised his team after this win, achieved with the help of Chichester’s 10-point penalty for not fielding a full front row.

He said: “It’s a cliché, but we didn’t get off the bus. I can safely say we were as poor as we could be. We didn’t deserve to win, but will take it.

“I must say though that Chichester deserve all the plaudits for the way they played and we wish them all the best for the remainder of the season.”

Green opened the stronger against 14-man Chichester. A superb run from wing Jonty Stubbs left a few defenders trailing in his wake before he was bundled into touch five metres

from the try line.

Chi over-threw the lineout and Dan Van Dune was first to react, pouncing on the loose ball to give the visitors an early five-point lead.

Green seemed to have built on their lead when fly half Sam Callaghan put in a speculative crossfield kick to the onrushing Jonny Barry, who dotted down over the line before being driven back.

Bizarrely, nobody appealed for the try. Shortly afterwards the visitors were turned over and the home lines cleared.

What followed was arguably Green’s worst 20 minutes of the season as they committed a large number of unforced errors to let the hosts back into the game with two converted tries.

Conway and the latter made an immediate impact as he was driven over under the posts.

The try should have been converted, but the extras attempt was dragged wide.

Green continued to create problems for themselves with poor handling and tactical kicking that enabled Chi to maintain a foothold.

They did show what they were capable of when Josh Callaghan finished a free-flowing 40-metre move after sublime interplay between forwards Wills and Young.

Again the conversion was missed,

but Green’s cushion was 11 points going into the final 12 minutes.

Chi made sure the final five minutes were interesting as they fielded another poor clearance kick before scoring another converted try.

Green were able to run the clock down and ended the game victorious, but it was by no means deserved.

Atlantis youngsters star at County Championship Andrew Dunlop Youth Swimming

Katy Harris capped a fine weekend for Atlantis by winning the 100m backstroke Open Championship and being crowned an overall County Champion for the first time.

The Senior Girls club captain, 17, controlled the final at Crawley after storming through the heats in a national qualifying time of 1.04.50.

Katy had given an early indication of her form by going under a minute for the first time in the 100m free in a confident and committed swim.

Junior Girls club captain Issy Dunlop came within a fingertip of taking two County Open Championship titles in the 100m and 200m breast.

She was comfortably fastest in the 100m heats and won the final of the 15-and-over age group, with teammate Bex Lobley second.

In the Open Final she went head to head with Frederica Williamson of Crawley, the top seed in this event.

From the start the two swimmers matched each other stroke for stroke, with Frederica just taking the touch in 1.14.49, ahead of Issy’s personal best (PB) 1.14.76.

The two girls’ struggle in the 200m was even closer, with Frederica going off like a rocket and establishing an early lead.

Issy gradually pegged her back and it all came down once again to the final touch, Frederica taking it in 2.40.72 to 2.40.89, Issy’s PB. Ella Windle, 12, who has struggled for form in recent months, rediscovered it magnificently in a wonderful

weekend of racing for her.

She had to settle for second behind Emma Eades of Crawley in the 100m breast, but smashed her PB by two seconds.

In the 200m breast she took her revenge on Emma with a big PB of 2.57.66. She also recorded wins in the 400m and 200m free.

Jade Stocker, 12, who is coming back from a long-term injury, showed real guts and determination to take third place in the 100m breast (1.24.97) and finish first in the 200m fly.

Our swimmers ‘weren’t just turning

up, they were making finals in numbers

’

and making it into finals.

Senior Boys club captain Cam Lambourne, 15, showed a real turn of speed to record a new PB of 24.76 in the 50m free.

Cam improved on this with 24.62 in the Open final to finish third. He also showed his versatility by winning his age group in the 200m IM and finishing third in the Open final.

Also showing up well were Matt Fulcher, Edward Hundleby, George Boyle and Joe Harrod who all made finals, Joe placing third in his age group for both the 100m and 200m fly.

Among the younger boys, Ben Stevens and Joe Nehme made their county debuts and recorded creditable PBs.

The Atlantis U16 boys 200m IM relay team of Cam Lambourne, Sam Carter, Matt Fulcher and Duncan Smith finished the weekend with a flourish, taking second place in the final after Shiverers were disqualified for mistakenly entering an over-age swimmer.

Atlantis head coach Bill Penny said: “I am delighted with the way Atlantis swimmers performed across the board.

“Our swimmers – many of them appearing at Counties for the first time – weren’t just turning up, they were making finals in numbers.

“It is a mark of how far the club has progressed that it was not unusual to see three or four Atlantis swimmers in a single final. I’m very encouraged.”

Kate Windle, 10, dominated proceedings in her age group and demonstrated her all-round excellence, securing firsts in 50m breast, 200m free, 400m free, 50m fly, 200m fly and 200m breast, where her time of 3.05.82 ranks her number one for her age in England.

In the 11-year-old age group, Beth Britton was rarely out of the top three, with particularly strong swims in the 100m free, in a great time of 1.04.48, and 100m back which she won.

Also catching the eye were Lauren Pedel, Jess Matlock, Maddie Carey, Tegan Jenkins, Eleanor Morris, Chloe Wheatland, Issy Harrod, Leah Clarke and Issy Davis, many competing for Atlantis for the first time at this level

Horsham Boys U14 defeated Bromley and Becks 2-0 in the Mercian League.

Horsham were denied several times in the first half by the determination of the Brom Becks goalkeeper, Noah Chinn going closest from a short corner put in by George Smith.

They continued to play superb hockey, getting their reward with second-half goals by Smith and Matthew Blogg.

Led by Austin Harwood-Stamper, Horsham’s defence was solid. Horsham dominated in midfield, with good work by Noah Chinn, Will Salmon and Toby Lewis, while Daniel Casey and Toby Rayward were undaunted on their debuts for the under-14s.

Horsham Boys U10 played two matches at Guildford, drawing the first and losing the second 2-1.

The team is growing in confidence, with a strong defence of James Harvey, James Ormerod and Owen Casey, the midfield of Massimo Gwynne, George Cardwell and Ed BromleyEllis, and Connor McAllister up front.

George Smith scored for Horsham Boys U14

Broadbridge Heath U18 became the first team to beat County League leaders Chichester City U18 in 90 minutes this season, with a 2-0 win in the League Cup quarter-final.

Harry Balfour and Michael Wood scored as the Bears extended their unbeaten run to 11 games – 10 wins and a draw.

Horsham U15 drew 1-1 at Hawks U15 in a dress rehearsal for the League Cup final at Peacehaven on March 20.

Alex Parsons headed in George Hole’s corner before Hole, Alex Parsons, Zak Comber and Stanley Rice all went close.

Connor Messenger was thwarted by a brilliant save, prompting Horsham manager Ian Meadows to say: “It was a shame the cameras weren’t there.”

Toby Bridger scored twice as Horsham Sparrows U15 won 4-2 at under-strength Roffey Robins Athletic U15 on a very wet pitch.

George Hole scored twice for the home side, but goals from Zac Chinn and Dan Stutchbury made the difference for Sparrows who also missed a penalty.

Alexandra Maltzer and Shannon Halmkan each struck twice to help Horsham Sparrows Girls U11 beat Mile Oak Girls U11 4-0.

Jazmine Younger and Fiona McMartin also impressed for Sparrows, who will face Eastbourne Girls at the Holbrook club on Sunday in a shootout for the runners-up spot.

Christian Burgess, Daniel Christer and Scott Saunders scored as Chesworth Rovers U9 beat Partridge Green U9 3-0 at Holbrook School.

Both teams benefited from an experienced Sussex FA referee, who gave them a chance to retake foul throws.

Partridge Green came back from 2-0 down at half time to win a second match 3-2.

Boxers from Horsham and Crawley were united in silence during the ringing of 10 bells in memory of Bob Morris, the chairman of Horsham Amateur Boxing Club who died aged 73.

Despite giving away a weight advantage, Shane Weston won a split decision against Crawley’s John Snape in a cracking contest.

Weston found a brutal body shot in the third round which dropped Snape and forced a count, but the Crawley boxer managed to continue and most of the crowd rose to applaud at the end of three hard-fought rounds.

Dan Purchase lost another close split decision to Ed Harrindine in a middleweight contest, Harrindine’s youth and slight speed advantage just proving enough.

Young Brandon’s a National express Matthew James Sport Editor

matthew@the-resident.co.uk

Young speedway ace Brandon Freemantle, from Steyning, will ride in the National League at the age of only 15.

The Steyning Grammar School pupil, who has been interesting several clubs, has been snapped up by the

newly formed Hackney Hawks to ride at reserve.

He told The Resident exclusively: “The main reason for signing for Hackney is the team manager, Neil Vatcher, who ran the U15 Championship last year.

“He’s a nice guy and I know I can trust him. There are good people in the team as well, including friends, so I jumped at the chance.

“It’s exciting but I’m a bit wary. It’s

a massive step up and it’s going to be a lot harder than the U15s.

“I want to double my average from 3.0 to 6 this year. Eventually I want to get into the Premier League, then the Elite League which is the dream.”

Brandon won the British U15 title two years running, first on a 250cc bike then on a 500cc. And his reputation grew further with a win and a second place in the U18 Championship last year.

The Resident understands Sussex speedway giants Eastbourne Eagles expect to sign him when he turns 16 in October.

The Eagles already regard Brandon as an Eastbourne asset and support him through sponsorship and advice.

Hackney Hawks are due to launch their campaign with a challenge match against a USA tourist team at Rye House’s Hoddesdon track on April 9.

It smells like teen spirit for Green and Whites Youth Rugby Union

Horsham U17 Brighton U17

8 13

Horsham U17 showed tremendous team spirit before losing 13-8 to Brighton in a hard-fought Sussex Cup final.

Skipper Will Ruddle’s team attacked from the outset on a boggy Uckfield pitch. Sustained pressure from forwards Cona Jackson, George Johnson, Rob Boylett and Archie Skone forced the Brighton pack to concede a penalty, converted by Joe Wilde.

With Brighton looking to pierce the Green and Whites’ defence with strong aggressive runs through the centre, it took some fearless tackling from Luke Mortell, Ahmed and Rory Howes-Yarlett to repel the onslaught.

Camped in their own 22, Horsham finally succumbed when the referee awarded a penalty for not rolling away, which was converted to level the score at half time.

Full back Ashley Cook broke through two tackles before offloading to scrum half Phil Bayne, who was snagged just short of the five-metre line. But Brighton regained possession and cleared downfield, where they encamped for 10 minutes.

Horsham’s resistance was finally broken when Brighton’s flanker squeezed through two tacklers to

plant the ball down on the try line for an 8-3 lead.

The Green and Whites began to throw the ball out wide in an effort to create space, but a dropped pass allowed a Brighton winger to sprint clear for a try in the corner.

Undeterred, Horsham rallied strongly and a fine piece of handling in the back line created a gap for

flanker Tom Hedley to dive over for a richly deserved try.

Horsham head coach Gavin Rixon said: “I am proud of the performance that this team has shown this season.

Every player has shown total commitment to their team mates, on and off the pitch.

“We had several opportunities.

Unfortunately we were unable to

capitalise on them, otherwise it would have been a totally different outcome.

“As a coach you can help enhance a team’s performance. What you can’t teach is attitude, which this team has in abundance.

“We will now re-group and prepare for the National U17 competition on March 6.”

Crawley AC brought strong teams to the final Sussex Sportshall match and left nothing to chance in their quest for the two winners’ trophies.

I lost count of the number of events in which Horsham finished a gallant second, although Horsham U11 won the two one-lap relays and the Astring two-lap through Zac Massey.

There were B winners in the two laps (Jamie Hughes), the long jump (Sam Hughes) and the speed bounce (Adam Jackson).

Molly Adams was the Horsham star with A-string wins in the U13 four-lap race and the standing triple jump, while Poppy Willis won the Astring speed bounce at U15 level, as did Tom Kilner-Brown in the equivalent boys event.

U13 B winners were Emma Gray (standing triple jump), Jack Milnthorpe (shot) and Joe West (standing triple jump).

U15s who did Horsham proud were Jack Truman, who won the Astring vertical jump, Anna Holcombe (B-string vertical jump) and Jade Brewster (B-string four-lap race).

There were runners-up in abundance in both track and “field” events and the relays.

Boys top three: Crawley 23 points (1,143 total), Horsham 21 (1,113.5), Chichester 14 (747).

Girls top three: Crawley 24 (1,118.5), Horsham 20 (1,017), Haywards Heath 15 (876.5).

Eric and Sean comfortably won all three group games to top their qualifying group and set up a semi-final against a pair from Essex.
