Scores of angry protesters made their voices heard as councillors arrived to discuss demolishing Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre. Members of Horsham District Council’s Cabinet were left in no doubt about the strength of feeling as demonstrators

gathered at the council offices yesterday (Thursday) evening. So many people wanted to hear the debate that it was relayed to an overflow room nearby at The Capitol. As first revealed on www.the-resident. co.uk on Tuesday last week, a councilcommissioned report recommends that the centre be demolished after the contract with DC Leisure runs out at the end of November next year. The report has been backed by Cllr

With the World Championships to be held in Britain in 2017 and the London Olympics around the corner, it is an exciting time for everyone involved with athletics. But the Horsham Blue Star team are unhappy with the planned closure of Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre, which includes the only indoor and outdoor athletics tracks in Horsham. Britain won the Olympic bid because we were told it would leave a legacy. As soon as the Olympics are over, the legacy will be gone in Horsham. One suggestion for a new place to train is K2 in Crawley, but that is already oversubscribed and does not have an indoor track for winter training. Keith and Sue May, Kim Milnthorpe, Mick Cole and Steve Pigeon are just some of the dedicated people who give up their time to help athletes of any age and ability enjoy the sport. Under Mick Cole, and helped by the excellent facilities at Broadbridge Heath, one of the strongest events for Blue Star has been the pole vault. We have had England Indoor and English Schools champions, as well as many other highly ranked UK athletes.

Athletes from all over Sussex come to Horsham to train at our venue for Sussex development squads. And when other clubs come to Horsham to compete, they comment on how good the leisure centre is – not just the athletics track, but the café and sufficient parking. People may decide to leave the club as there are not suitable facilities nearby. I am an athlete who hopes to represent Great Britain in future World Championships and Olympics. If the leisure centre shuts down, it will make it hard to fulfil those ambitions. With my coaches, Kim Milnthorpe and Mick Cole, and the indoor and outdoor tracks at Broadbridge Heath, I have been able to train and compete to the best of my ability. I was ranked third in the UK last year and won the National Indoor Championships in February. This year I was awarded money from Set4Success. If l am lucky enough to get money again, and there is no longer a leisure centre in Broadbridge Heath, all of it would be spent on travel rather than useful equipment. I have been very lucky to get to the level I am at in pole vaulting, mainly due to the support of everyone at the club and the facilities at the leisure centre.

Leisure centre report is ‘full of holes’ Liberal Democrat group Horsham District Council

The Liberal Democrat team on Horsham District Council very much appreciated the fact that Cllr Jonathan Chowen, the Cabinet member for leisure, did provide some members of our group with an early briefing on proposals to demolish Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre. However, we were shocked and disappointed when we received the report upon which the proposal has been based.

We were shocked and ‘disappointed when we received the report ’

According to the Horsham Cultural Strategy of 2002, our number one objective as a council is “to enhance the quality of life and wellbeing of individuals living in, working in and visiting the Horsham district” and much has been done to achieve this objective. The attractiveness of Horsham

itself is due in part to the facilities the town offers, including the Pavilions in the Park and Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre. The Conservative administration has commissioned a consultants’ report which sets out to review the future leisure provision of the district. This report cost £6,000, probably equivalent to about six to eight days’ work. It does not supply sufficient data to support some of the claims and recommendations. Although there are references to community and village halls, which are an important element in leisure provision, especially in rural areas, there is no evidence of availability or utilisation of these facilities. There is comment throughout the report of the need to disperse facilities across the district due to a “perception” that the north has an unfair share of provision. In making this judgement, the report has taken into account both private and public sector facilities including schools. This perception is not substantiated by any of the data in the report. Even so, it would not be sufficient justification for removing facilities from the north and replacing them in the

for the ongoing maintenance and the policy of having the lowest council tax in West Sussex has meant insufficient tax has been collected to provide such a reserve. The funding needed to repair and update the centre could be obtained from either Olympic Legacy funding or from contributions to infrastructure that developers are required to pay. It also claims that some of the facilities are not available for community use. This overlooks the fact that Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre is used by many successful and popular clubs and organisations which contribute to the life of the community. As a council we should be supporting those clubs, enabling them to continue to train and inspire the next generations. The centre provides facilities for the wider community, such as the Time Out after-school and holiday provision which helps working parents (see Page 7). The report makes no recommendation as to how their needs may be met. Further, it does not mention replacing the Discovery Sensory Room for disabled children and adults which has only recently opened. Nor does the report provide any information on the number of clubs, organisations and individuals using the centre, the activities undertaken, the frequency of use and times of usage. Without this information it is impossible to know whether there is

south. The report does not allow for the large percentage of residents who live close to the town, or to the possibly different leisure interests of those who have chosen to live in a rural area. It also ignores the fact that sporting participation in Horsham district is higher than the national average, possibly because we have such good facilities. It does acknowledge that the health and wellbeing of residents is better than average but adds that there is still a need to increase adult participation.

These proposals have ‘been brought forward without any real consultation

’

Further, it is recognised that GPs are increasingly prescribing exercise for a wide variety of conditions due to the established link between exercise and health. The main recommendation given is that Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre should be demolished at the end of 2012, months after the Olympics. It is claimed, but not proved, that the building is underutilised and beyond economic repair. No money has been held in reserve

sufficient spare capacity within the “dispersed approach” to absorb those displaced by the closure. A secondary recommendation is that the Indoor Bowls Centre, also at Broadbridge Heath, should be closed and that alternative facilities should be made available in conjunction with Horsham Bowls Club, which wishes to move from its green behind the Bishopric. The suggestion is that this should be on a site near the Pavilions. The West of Horsham site for 2,000 houses was selected by the council as a sustainable site for development, due to the local amenities and facilities available, which include Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre and the Indoor Bowls Centre. Now, before even a house is built, they are removing the very facilities they argued would make this an ideal sustainable site for development. This fact is conveniently ignored by the Leisure Futures Report. It also ignores the fact that all 2,000 houses within the West of Horsham development will be – or would have been – within walking distance of both facilities. The alternatives proposed, such as using K2 in Crawley, are not as accessible for residents of Horsham. If the building is demolished and the unsubstantiated assumptions prove to be incorrect, many residents across the district will suffer. We are concerned that these proposals have been brought forward without any real consultation with the community. The future of Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre has to be looked at within the overall plans for the Broadbridge Heath Quadrant. The Quadrant, which includes the retail park, the West Sussex County Council Highways Depot, Tesco and Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre, is subject to “increased developer interest”. If this area is to be redeveloped, there will be the opportunity to raise contributions towards infrastructure from the developers, which could contribute to updating or replacing the current facilities. However, the report does not make any proposals for additional facilities within the district in the long term, beyond encouraging private development of indoor tennis courts. Although these would be welcomed, this does not compensate for the huge loss to the community following destruction of the facilities at Broadbridge Heath.

Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre - Reaction

Councillors face leisure centre demonstration Continued from Page 1 Members of Horsham Blue Star athletics club were among those who protested yesterday. Club president Michael Carrington told The Resident earlier: “To lose our track, and in particular the indoor training area, would be a terrible atrocity. It’s a bolt from the blue and an appallingly regressive thing. “Losing the centre would kill the club and athletics in Horsham. It flies in the face of the whole legacy idea that the (London) Olympics were secured on. “We hope our presence at the meeting will indicate the strength of feeling.” The issue was being discussed by the council’s Cabinet as The Resident went to press and will be debated by the full council on December 21. Liberal Democrat councillors were expected to argue it was too early to make a decision without firm guarantees that facilities would be replaced in the area. Earlier, district council chief executive Tom Crowley said it was too early to say what the leisure centre site might be used for. A council spokesman said: “Planning permission exists for the current recreational facilities on the Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre site. “The site lies within the built-up area boundary of Broadbridge Heath, where policies allow for appropriate development. “Any change to this site would be subject to the usual planning application process and would be considered against the current planning policy at that time. “The consultants who prepared the Horsham Town Framework Report called the area the Broadbridge Heath Quadrant. It includes Broadbridge Heath Retail Park, Tesco supermarket, the West Sussex County Council depot and the leisure centre. “The consultants identified it as a strategically significant area which has the potential for improvement, development or redevelopment. “It is considered to be strategically significant because even though the Quadrant sits outside of Horsham town, it has a great influence on the health of the town as a whole. “As part of the Future Prosperity of Horsham Project, the council will be preparing a plan for this whole area known as Broadbridge Heath Quadrant, in light of the consultants’ report. “Once this plan is adopted, any future development proposal for the site would need to comply with the planning framework for that area. “Horsham District Council owns the leisure centre site, but not all of the Broadbridge Heath Quadrant.”

It’s not just about money

Big Society smashed apart

Like every other part of the council’s operations, leisure services cannot be insulated from the challenge of balancing the books. There is little doubt that closing down a tired site, in urgent need of significant investment, could reap handsome financial dividends in costs saved and site values enhanced. However, these decisions are not just about deficit reduction and entries in an accountant’s ledger. Local people will rightly want reassurance, if a decision is taken to close down Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre, that a significant portion of any additional resources raised will be recycled back into sports provision throughout the district. The council is not statutorily obliged to provide recreational facilities. Some might argue that investing in them is not a priority during this challenging financial period. I would beg to disagree. Horsham district is rightly renowned for the excellence of its leisure facilities. Sport England’s most recently published research shows that satisfaction rates

So a consultants’ report deemed the centre “surplus to requirements”. Did the council consider consulting local residents and users of the facility to get their views? David Cameron’s Big Society is being smashed apart here in Horsham, as the Tory-run council dream up yet another madcap idea to reduce the social fabric of our district. When will our MP, minister in charge of the Big Society, step in and call time on his colleagues’ excesses? We learn that the centre faces a repair bill of up to £1.5 million. Has there been a planned maintenance programme over the years or have the Tories deliberately followed a policy of neglect and allowed the centre to be run down? All buildings of this kind need repairs and upkeep, so what next – the Capitol or the Pavilions in the Park? I stood as the Labour Party

with sports provision are higher in Horsham district than in any other local authority in the South East, with the exception of Windsor and Maidenhead. This is a tribute to the vision of successive council administrations who have invested in providing a full range of fantastic facilities. It is one of the things that makes our district such a wonderful place in which to live. As chairman of Atlantis, Horsham’s competitive swimming club, I can testify directly to the contribution of Horsham District Council’s three modern swimming pools. I warmly welcome Cllr Jonathan Chowen’s personal commitment to find new homes for the centre’s existing clubs and users. People would find it hard to comprehend – in any year, let alone an Olympics year – a decision to scrap within the district our own athletics track. It would be a big blow to Horsham’s sporting identity and pride – not to mention the practical logistics – if our athletics club was dependent on Crawley for its ability to train.

Cllr Andrew Dunlop Conservative Cowfold, Shermanbury and West Grinstead ward Horsham District Council

candidate in Broadbridge Heath in the recent local elections. I spent many hours knocking on doors and talking to the local residents. Some felt the village needed additional regeneration. The leisure centre, which supports many clubs, is a great asset for both Broadbridge Heath and Horsham as a whole. Its demolition will downgrade the area, at a time when the village is set to double in size following recent planning application approvals. I sincerely hope the newlyelected Lib Dem councillor for Broadbridge Heath can persuade his colleagues to join with Horsham Labour Party in condemning this proposal and support our campaign to retain this most popular of community assets. Surely now must be the time for the Lib Dems to reflect on their role in inflicting such damage to the services provided by our local councils and provide real opposition in the council chamber.

Council must think again

The council stranglers It is appalling that Horsham District Council have once again decided that the people who voted them into their positions don’t have a say in what goes on in Horsham. It is a ludicrous idea to tear down the leisure centre, the only athletics track in the area. Instead of paying £6,000 to ‘consultants’ perhaps they should ask the people. There are other leisure centres in the area, but they don’t all have the same facilities. Not everyone can readily go to Crawley to run on a track. Aren’t we now meant to be encouraging our Olympic hopefuls for next year and beyond. Obviously the council do not consider that to be important. How hypocritical to put our leisure centre forward to train the Grenada Olympic team then tear it down when they have gone. Where will the other longstanding users of the centre go? American football can’t just be played anywhere. Is Broadbridge Heath football team going to be playing in the park? I moved to Horsham in 1981 and have loved living here. Only a few years ago Horsham was the second-best place to live in the country. Since then, the council seem to have been determined to take us off the map. Anything good is taken away. They seem intent on destroying any remarkable aspects of the town. They are strangling the life out of Horsham.

mean driving further, taking up more time and using more petrol. Some people who regularly visit the leisure centre might not be able to afford to do this. Should they have to give up something they love just because of the travel costs? You hear a lot in the media about the youth of today being unhealthy and overweight. What message is the council sending out to local children and teenagers if they shut down the leisure centre? I thought children were supposed to be encouraged to go out and get some exercise, especially with the current rise in rates of childhood obesity. So where is the encouragement if the council tears down a local leisure centre? I don’t think the council have fully thought about the impact of closing down the leisure centre, in terms of the community and especially the children and teenagers who just want to take part in their sport.

I am writing to express my disgust about the proposal to demolish Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre. I love sport, especially athletics. I am a member of Horsham Blue Star and train at the centre three times a week, as well as competing in athletics meetings there. But it’s not just the 300 members of the athletics club. There are also members of the Horsham Arun Badminton Club, the Horsham Hockey Club, Horsham Joggers and Sussex Thunder. I am amazed that the council could even consider demolishing the only athletics track in the Horsham area, let alone the only indoor running facilities for 50 miles. Why should the residents of Horsham be forced to travel to Crawley and even further to access a facility such as this? It’s great as its local to so many in Horsham, Southwater and Broadbridge Heath. Relocating to train somewhere else would

New effort to revive Old Town Hall A local architect and two district councillors are taking a fresh look at the financial viability of returning Horsham’s iconic Town Hall to community use. They would like to hear from potential users of the building and anyone who might be able to help either professionally or financially. After failing to find a restaurant owner wishing to lease the building, Horsham District Council is “looking at options for disposal” and will consider any financially sound proposals. With some technical support from council officers, Cllr Laurence Deakins (Con, Denne), Cllr David Holmes (Lib Dem, Horsham Park) and retired local architect Roy Worskett are reviewing what needs to be done.

They said in a joint statement to The Resident: “It may be that community use could recommence without very much being spent. “Alternatively, with the focus on Localism and the Big Community, now might be an appropriate time to make some improvements – to improve disabled access, provide a toilet for the disabled, replace the kitchen and provide a lift to give access to the first floor. “It is possible that the cost of this might be covered by a combination of grants and donations from people wishing to see the building once again become part of the town’s social and cultural life. “Initial discussions suggest grants remain reasonably available, despite

the economic situation. “We are reviewing both the minimum that needs to be spent and the cost of what perhaps might be worth doing, together with the annual running costs. “In order to confirm the likelihood of obtaining grants to cover the cost of improvements, we plan to put two proposals to the grant sector. “These are mixed use with some rooms being available to the community while part of the building has an income-generating business use, and community use of the entire building. “For now, we are not considering any restoration or public access to the part of the basement where the old cells are. We would keep them so that one day when funds permit, who

knows, they might become part of a visit Horsham experience. “If you are interested in supporting what we are doing, please get in touch. “We would like to know which people or organisations would be interested in using the building for community use from time to time, to hear from anyone interested in using the ground floor, perhaps as a bar, café or shop, from anyone who could help in securing grants or becoming a patron or trustee and from those who would just like to see the building back in community use. “Finally, if anybody wishes to help by providing additional professional advice, that would be welcomed. laurence.deakins@hor“Email sham.gov.uk or david.holmes@horsham.gov.uk or write to ‘Town Hall’, 132 Brighton Road, Horsham RH13 6EY.” But the Blue Flash Music Trust argued such a “diversion” could lead to many more years of the Old Town Hall remaining “unused and unloved”.

It may be that ‘community use could

recommence without very much being spent

Robert Mayfield, spokesman for the local arts charity, said: “The proposal of this particular local architect was rejected in 2006 by the council’s own Old Town Hall advisory group after a rigorous bidding process and due diligence. “Cllr Holmes also wrote to the chief executive in 2006, casting doubt upon the benefits and ongoing financial sustainability of such a plan as compared to the recommended Blue Flash Music Trust proposal. “The trust met with the architect, Roy Worskett, in the presence of two Liberal Democrat councillors, to see if we could work together on a joint submission. “After exchanging details, the

qualified professional representatives of the trust decided that the architect’s proposal was operationally unworkable. “Mentioning the potential sale of the Old Town Hall might be viewed an idle threat by certain elements at the council. “I view such an announcement – one that is notably against current council policy – as a perhaps desperate attempt to scare the Horsham public into squandering their energy on a likely unsustainable proposal. “A sale would seem to cut across the Duke of Norfolk’s 1888 legacy ‘for the public purposes of a town hall’ and thus be open to widespread challenge. “The loss of control from a sale of this central historical building would probably represent an unacceptable risk to the town. “We believe that this alternative call by the two councillors is simply a further waste of time and squandering of potential benefits. “All three Liberal Democrat councillors on the Old Town Hall advisory group, including Cllr Holmes, voted with Conservative chairman Alan Harris in favour of the trust proposal over that of Mr Worskett five years ago. “Residents will therefore be naturally suspicious as to what is supposed to have changed.” Martin Jeremiah, business consultant for the trust, said: “This is claimed as a non-political move, but it looks to me that it is simply a political manoeuvre to gloss over past council mistakes and avoid the trust’s innovative proposal. “The trust does not require expensive technical support from council officers in these difficult times. Such supporting expenditure and officers’ time would be in contravention of existing council policy. “There are many apparent flaws in the councillors’ and architect’s arguments. I believe the Horsham public will rightly reject these decidedly flakey ideas and instead persuade the council to meet with the trust.”

Extra item will make a difference Customers at Sainsbury’s Horsham and Pulborough will be asked to buy an extra item, which will be delivered to charities and community projects. The one-day food drive, run tomorrow (Saturday) in partnership with the FareShare charity, will benefit people in hostels and shelters, among others. Roger Burnley, retail and logistics director for Sainsbury’s, said: “The food we donate to FareShare tends to be fresh produce, as this has the shortest shelf life. “However, to make a nutritious meal you need more than just fresh food, which is why we would like to give customers the opportunity to donate food.” Lindsay Boswell, chief executive of FareShare, said: “Sainsbury’s has been involved with FareShare since the beginning, working with us to ensure that good food isn’t wasted. If food cannot be sold but can be eaten, it should always go to people first. “Sainsbury’s customers will be able to support hungry people in a very tangible way and generally support a charity which offers a very practical solution to the issues of food waste and food poverty. “We would like to encourage anyone who has an interest in food and supporting vulnerable people to support FareShare on Saturday. “With their help, we can feed even more good food to some of the poorest people in our society and help in some way to give them a happy Christmas.”

Seventeen inches of Emma’s long, golden hair were chopped off at the Queens Head in a fundraising effort for Macmillan Cancer Support and Cancer Research UK. The haircut had been suggested as a supportive gesture to Emma’s

It’s a Vet’s Life In our second monthly column, local vet, Julian Peters, gives us a sneak peek into the more unusual patients they encounter. It’s not just cats and dogs that come through our doors, you know! In recent years, there has been a startling increase in the number of backyard hens that we see, one of which is a patient called Hetty. Hetty, a recently retired laying bird, enjoys relaxing her days away in an ark or chicken coop, exploring the soil for natural sources of food, including insects and other little creepy crawlies. Despite her new-found freedom, Hetty wasn’t quite as sprightly as expected. On examination, it became clear that the bits of grit and small stones that Hetty had picked up from the soil were aﬀecting her digestive tract, particularly the crop in her neck. Hetty, like most birds that are kept to lay eggs, was fed on ‘layers mash’, a soft powdery diet, before she retired so the grit from the ground that she is now starting to peck at was quite dif�icult for her body to adapt to. We advised her owner to continue her ‘soft’ diet for a while to give Hetty time to get used to her new life as a free ranger. That was a few weeks ago now and we are pleased to report that Hetty is happily settling into her retirement…. no doubt she’ll be �inding all sorts of treats in the soil through the winter months and counting her lucky stars that she’s not a turkey as Christmas fast approaches!

Det Con Paul Voigt said: “I should like to thank the media and everyone who responded to our recent appeal to identify this woman. I have no doubt that it led directly to her arrest.”

Welcome to the world of Tree-mendous work at Upper Beeding school Horsham Un-headlined Nik Butler www.loudmouthman.com Twitter - @loudmouthman

Anyone who reads about Horsham in its local newspapers may well be forgiven for thinking it exists exclusively for the interest of retailers and sport enthusiasts. That the general public of the town exist as a means to support and pay for those concerns whose opinion may only be sort in hindsight, without consultation, lest they fly in the face of advertisers, sponsors or council plans. Horsham is not simply its shops or its sports grounds, nor is it a series of special events. It is the people who live, work and pass through who make up that experience. When did we lose the focus that Horsham is made up of its many streets and communities, which stretch beyond the boundaries of West Street and the Carfax? It seems easy to segregate Horsham into north and south, into haves or have-nots, the well-off and the struggling. Newspapers prefer headlines which deal in extremes and they encourage the exultation towards

drama. Horsham is far more mundane and encouraging than those headlines. It is the experiences which make up the bulk of conversations online. These are mums and dads, families. These are the freelancers of many professions and many skillsets, thriving and seeking business locally and nationally. They are Horsham Un-headlined. They exist and are most active in at least one community which is thriving online and is yet to be controlled by press or council. The Horsham Facebook group, facebook.com/horsham.uk, exists not as a platform for promotion of businesses or news articles or council press releases but as a place for people to ask for help, provide information and offer advice. It is a place for post-it notes of thought and suggestions. Week to week there may be special offers or shared news updates, but the dominant thread is that Horsham is more than the sum of headlines. Indeed, the administrator expects businesses to keep promotion and advertising to a minimum. It is fascinating to watch an online community grow and share and communicate. It demonstrates the

Skylarks are chirping PCSO Roy Millard presented a cheque for £300 to Skylarks PreSchool, Broadbridge Heath, whose children were also treated to a look around a police car. The money has been spent on magnetic construction pieces, enabling

children to make models and shapes, and a reusable threading set. It came from the Police Property Fund, criminal gains seized on the direction of courts, which also contributed £300 to Barns Green and Slinfold Scout Group.

Youngsters at Upper Beeding Primary School planted trees as part of an initiative to cut their carbon footprint. The Trees for Shade scheme is run by West Sussex County Council in partnership with Southern Water. Cllr Lionel Barnard, deputy leader of the county council, and Les Bond, of Southern Water, dug in with the pupils to plant the trees.

various positive experiences of Horsham, some of which I begrudingly admit are reflected in The Resident. I can imagine it is scary to press and council that people are allowed to simply express without editorial control or preference. Then again the owners of this publication decided they wanted to let me loose in a few hundred words, so I guess we might see where this experiment leads.

I hope readers will consider supporting the demonstration on Wednesday, November 30, in Horsham. It starts from the bandstand in the park at 10am and will take in (Horsham MP) Francis Maude’s headquarters on the way to the Carfax. It is a march against a proposed cut to state pensions as well as public sector pensions. To narrow down the number of lies the government has come out with over pensions to just two would be difficult. Initially they argued that any divergence from their draconian pension plans would leave the economy in ruins. There was no room for compromise. The David was not for turning. Then they came up with a number of concessions – inadequate concessions. This gave the lie to their former assertion. Then they said there was no reason for the unions to take strike action (perhaps we would like 15 minutes off instead!) because it would not make any difference. A child of five could tell that was a lie because the government made concessions in the face of the mere threat of strike action. The extent of the Tories’

miscalculation can be seen in the opposition they have aroused. The ATL has never struck before. They marched shoulder to shoulder with us in the last strike. The NAHT has never struck before and voted by a staggering 75.8 per cent to take strike action. The ACSL is not striking but supported the lobby of Parliament. If the Tories cannot bet the farm on the support of ACSL, they really are sunk. And perhaps the most remarkable of all, the FDA. They represent top civil servants. In 1926 they were foremost in organising strike-breaking. This year they voted by a majority of 81 per cent in favour of strike action. It is all very well for Francis Maude – Pension Mugger in Chief – to gloat that the FDA turnout was only 54 per cent. The electoral mandate of this government is based on a 36.1 per cent vote for his party. They were only able to form a government with the collaboration of the Lib Dems, who fought the election saying “Vote for us to keep the Tories out”. The strike has substantially better democratic credentials than our Frank! Derek McMillan Meadowgate, Horsham

As a recent arrival to Horsham, I was really most impressed by the wonderful carnival atmosphere created. Everybody was having a good time, especially the children. In particular, the vintage merry-go-round was just wonderful. It was clearly very old and was operated by electricity instead of by the original steam engine, but it was in immaculate condition, with fairground music coming apparently from an organ rather than loudspeakers.

‘Many congratulations to the Mortgage Solutions team on your 25th Anniversary.With best wishes from everyone at Smith Gadd & Co.’

‘Congratulations, you’ve been an integral part of the Horsham business community and we are delighted to have been associated with you from the outset.’

Horsham’s first specialist mortgage business turns 25 Congratulations to Mortgage Solutions on surviving through ‘boom and bust’ to celebrate the quarter of a century milestone

‘ML Surveyors congratulate Clive and Paul on their successful 25 years of trading, heres to many many more.’

Mortgage Solutions, the Horsham-based independent mortgage consultancy, is celebrating 25 years in business. Director Clive Hancocks started the company in 1986. He said: “25 years ago I placed an ad for 10p, and the week after we had our first client. It has grown from there and was always my goal to get to this moment. “We’ve been through boom and bust. So I feel it’s a great achievement to reach this milestone. I believe it’s down to our professionalism, knowledge and background in the industry.” Today, Mortgage Solutions is run by Clive and co-director Paul Watts from the company’s office on West Street, where they have been based for 23 years. Together, they have more than 60 years experience in the mortgage business. Paul said: “We have both worked for mortgage lenders, so we have an advantage over many advisers. It means our clients can be sure they are in safe hands.” Mortgage Solutions was the first specialist mortgage company in Horsham. Many of its clients come from recommendations and Clive and Paul often help the sons and daughters of their customers to find the right mortgage. The popularity of the firm and the loyalty of its clients and business partners in the community were evident at a recent party held to mark the birthday.

Be a better networker with advice from a best-seller Marketing expert and author, Dee Blick, completes her series of exclusive excerpts in The Resident, taken from The Ultimate Small Business Marketing Book Is your networking not working? Business networking is an enjoyable activity, an opportunity to meet fellow business professionals over a nice breakfast, lunch or evening drinks, to discuss business and to pass leads to one another. But although business networking can be a good investment of a business owner’s time, it can just as easily prove to be unpro�itable. Look closely at any business networking group and you’ll �ind some members bemoaning their lack of referrals from their fellow members while others are bene�itting from a strong pipeline of leads. If you have joined a promising networking group only to �ind that your leads have very quickly run dry, don’t immediately look for an alternative group. It may be that changing how you network could release the potential of this particular group.

They vary their message each week. These are usually the members that gain the most from the networking group. By contrast, others can be a little boring to listen to, repeating the same presentation every week. You can spot other members switching off as soon as they stand up. Do you know which category you fall into? Let’s assume that the feedback you receive suggests that your presentation has room for improvement. What can you do to improve it? Start with the basics - your voice and body language. You have to be able to project your voice to a room full of people, so maybe you need to turn up the volume. Practice in

front of the mirror at home or in the car. Try to inject some passion into your voice, some enthusiasm. Emphasise keywords. ‘We have over 100 absolutely delighted customers.’ Pause periodically to suppress the natural tendency to umm and err. Make sure that your body language supports your powerful and inspiring voice.

Focus on the content of your 60-second presentation. Saying the same thing week in, week out, will only send people to sleep. Map out at least four presentations so that you are not struggling for content the night before. What can you say that will inspire people? Why not tell them a brief story about a delighted

Here is my ‘networking not working?’ troubleshooting checklist:

Appraise your stand up presentation. At many networking groups, you are given the opportunity to introduce your business each week to your fellow members. You are usually given a minute or so in which to do this. For some members, this brief window of time provides a great opportunity. They stand up, brimming with con�idence, and speak with passion about their business. They are never at a loss for what to say and they generally captivate the members by being unpredictable in their delivery. foundry_resident_ad

Business client? Or how you overcame a huge challenge for a client? Can you use some props or tools that will make you even more memorable?

50 grand up for grabs from Social Enterprise fund

Believe that what you give out, you will get back in abundance. How active are you at really trying to �ind warm prospects for the members in your networking group? Are you just sitting back and expecting the business to come to you without reciprocating? Evaluate the warm leads that you have passed to your fellow members. Are you reassured that you are doing your best, or could you do a little better?

There’s a £50,000 prize fund on offer in this year’s West Sussex Social Enterprise Award. The annual award, now in its sixth year, is run by the West Sussex Social Enterprise Network and West Sussex County Council. The scheme supports social enterprises in the county. Deputy Leader of the County Council, Lionel Barnard, who has responsibility for Enterprise, said: “This year the awards are even more special than usual as, thanks to the West Sussex County Council Social Enterprise Fund, we have a total of £50,000 to be awarded.” In previous years the award has gone to one or two organisations. This year there will be ten winners. The awards of £5,000 each are for the ten best social enterprise ideas that will see an income generated from selling a product or service, and will bene�it the community and/or environment in West Sussex. The funding can be used to start up a social enterprise or to help develop an existing organisation. The 2011 award scheme was launched on the recent Social Enterprise Day (Thursday, November 17), which forms part of Global Entrepreneurship Week. Lionel added: “We’ve supported these awards for a number of years and have had many innovative ideas put forward. “Social enterprises form an important part of our communities and provide a variety of services. I look forward to seeing the range of entries for this year’s awards.” The deadline for entries for the awards is Wednesday, January 4, 2012. For more information visit www.wssen.org.uk.

Try to make it as easy as possible for members to recommend you to their wider pool of contacts. Be speci�ic when telling the members of what constitutes your ideal client, even naming names if you are looking for introductions. This will make it easier for them to recommend you. Can you offer a riskfree introduction to your services, such as a free health check, MOT, or informal meeting? Your networking colleagues would probably �ind it easier to recommend prospects on this basis rather than produce fully�ledged clients. They are also more likely to feel comfortable about recommending you in this way to the people that they trust and value.

Be one of the �irst to arrive at your networking meetings - and try to stay a while after the event has ended. Some of the most promising and meaningful conversations occur at the start or end of the session, when people are more relaxed.

Comedy legends to make post-Steptoe appearance James Hood Entertainment Editor

Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, AKA the famous Galton and Simpson scriptwriting duo, will be signing their new book at the opening night of Steptoe and Son at The Capitol next month. The pair will be watching the production, which is based on shows they wrote in the 70s, before meeting fans in the foyer. The stars of the show, Jack Lane

Chichester Theatre beckons for teen star Georgina Briggs, from Storrington, has been awarded a coveted place as part of the cast of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at Chichester’s Festival Theatre. The young star of the stage, who attended Collyer’s, will be playing the White Witch in the musical, which begins on December 17. Georgina said: “This an amazing opportunity to act at the famous Chichester theatre! The production is fabulous and great fun. “I never imagined I could achieve this. I thoroughly enjoy the thrill of singing and acting on such an enormous stage.” Georgina was also a student at Dramaworks, a local youth theatre group. Teacher Julia Martin said: “We have tracked her rise since gaining a place at the National Youth Theatre last year to starring in The Importance of Being Earnest at the Capitol Studio in August.” Georgina added: “I would advise all budding actresses and actors to keep on believing in themselves as dreams do come true.”

and Michael Simmonds, invited the comedy writing team after they received high praise for their show earlier this year. Jack said: “They are comedy legends. The quality of their work, the shows they produce and the characters they have written have definitely been an inspiration to me. “Nobody does it like them. They are big names in entertainment so fans should come along and say hi. I’m also hoping we get some youngsters in the audience too so they can see some real classic comedy. It’s not something Galton and

Simpson do often, so it’s a huge deal and a thrill for me. They’re in their 80s now, so I’m very grateful to them.” Galton and Simpson’s new book is called Masters of Sitcom; from Hancock to Steptoe. The production of Steptoe and Son will be showing at The Capitol between Wednesday, December 7 and Saturday, December 17 (excluding the 12th and 13th). Tickets are on sale now.

Sunday evening should not be this funny Horsham’s only regular stand-up comedy night packs The Capitol with its annual showpiece Steve Goodwin

Review

Barnstormers Big Sundae

Every month Horsham is treated to a selection of comedians from the stand-up circuit when Barnstormers Comedy shows us how to enjoy Sunday evenings. Once a year, The Capitol’s main theatre plays host to ‘The Big Sundae’, which features three established acts. I’ve been a Barnstormers regular for a number of years, and previously enjoyed recognised names such as Andy Parsons, Paul Zerdin and Milton Jones. Regular compere Kevin Precious was first out in front of what must have been a sell-out audience, and slipped easily into his usual routine of rousing the crowd by toying with the two front rows. He’s a favourite every month with the regulars, but also goes down well with any locals, once again drawing roars of laughter with his references to the Shelley Fountain (I shall say no more). Most of the fuel for his fire this time around were the staff from Horsham bar B52s who were conveniently seated in the second row.

With the audience suitably warmed up, Kevin introduced the first act, Dominic Holland. His affable charm and cheeky brand of observational humour went down well, and there must have been a lot of parents in the room as his recount of getting his four sons changed in a cramped swimming pool cubicle brought plenty of laughs. Dominic told of his work as a writer of films as well as comedy, his tales always peppered with humour. One encounter with Morgan Freeman in a toilet in Los Angeles was just as fascinating as the punchline was funny. The second act was something quite different. Ivan Brackenbury, a character created by former breakfast DJ Tom Binns, is an inept hospital radio DJ, who is broadcasting his show live from the stage. The act consists of Ivan taking song requests from patients, sending out messages and generally using music played from his laptop to produce a string of hilariously crude jokes. It’s a simple concept, and repetitive in its formula, but he pulls it off with such cheerful stupidity it’s both sharply imaginative and enjoyably funny. The patient dedication and the illness they were suffering were followed by just enough of the song to

get the joke. Highlights for me were ‘Two Hearts’ for a pair of Siamese twins, ‘Holding Back The Years’ for a man recovering from an operation to pin his ears back, and my personal favourite: ‘Something Inside So Strong’, dedicated to a man who needed an operation to remove a He-Man toy from an unfortunate place. As you can imagine, there were a lot of cheerfully delivered sick jokes, so not one for the easily offended, but Horsham loved it. Compere Kevin was back on stage between the sets and continued with his audience interaction to keep the laughs coming, interspersing it with his own brand of often dark humour. He then introduced the headline act, Paul Tonkinson. Former Big Breakfast presenter, XFM DJ, and professional Northerner, Paul has been on the circuit for around 20 years, and appeared effortless as he casually drew the laughs with his entertaining routine. He focused on class divides, and North vs South, but really got into his stride with his family observations. You know when you are laughing so hard that you aren’t even making any noise - just creased up and shaking, your throat aching? That was me. Probably because I could relate so much to Paul’s mischievously illustrated commentary on married life, complete with a medley of silly voices and expressions. The audience loved his animated,

confident delivery, and the routine about his sex life brought the house down. There’s only so much laughing you can tolerate so I was slightly relieved when Kevin brought the curtains down on the Barnstormers’ year at The Capitol. If you haven’t been to a Barnstormers night before, and you love

stand-up comedy, something doesn’t make sense. They’re returning in the new year on January 22, and every 3rd Sunday of the month thereafter. Tickets are only £10, it’s an absolute bargain, so make sure you take advantage. Just don’t be the last to book, otherwise you’ll end up in the front row, just where Kevin wants you.

Judy Garland and Dusty Springfield. Returning to Horsham is The Rat Pack Is Back on Saturday, April 14 the longest running Rat Pack tribute show in Europe. The hit act perfectly captures not only the wonderful music and comedy of the original legends, but also the remarkable personalities of the stars who truly ruled the entertainment world.

Bucks Green to Barns Green to Brooks Green

www.sumnersponds.co.uk

It is when you travel off the main A-roads that take the speedy motorist and heavy goods vehicles from the Sussex coast up to metropolitan sprawl of London and commuter land, that you discover the real Horsham district. The villages that are part of today’s story each with their ‘traditional’ pub reflect a recent rather than a Saxon or early medieval past. As these villages were born out of a local road network that joined the larger settlements together. They are not failed villages, i.e. villages that never grew, but more a hamlet that grew up to serve the traveller, or exploit a local feature, but that feature could not support larger communities. For Bucks Green lies in the shadow of Rudgwick, both literally and metaphorically as the people of the ridge looked down on this settlement. Today’s traveller passes through, glancing at the Fox Inn― the most prominent old building; the settlement grew up around the junction, as the road leads down to Loxwood and nearby Tisman’s common. Today the arable fields and the undulating roads give sense to the landscape and why places remained small hamlets, but in the medieval period the woodland would have hidden the geography under canopied trees with small

farmsteads exploiting woodland pastures or greens. This was not an area of large farms and estates, but of smaller individual properties scattered around which can still be seen today by the intrepid traveller of the country lanes. This area is dominated by a north-south axis, rather than east-west. The many lanes flow north east/south west just as the Roman super highway of Stane Street did some 2000 years ago, cutting through the geography. Then it was to connect the newly-formed cities of London and Chichester, just as the railway of the mid Victorian era connected the same two cities with a line that ran from Billingshurst up to Christ’s Hospital, cut by a line running south east to West Grinstead and north west to Guilford It is the railway line that cuts through Barn’s Green, a hamlet so small at the time it didn’t deserve a halt, yet there is much charm to explore here. In medieval times Slaughterford was the main settlement of this parish, which itself takes its name from Itchingfield, again suggesting a pasture in late medieval times. Lying near a stream and a junction between two roads to Shipley, Slaughterford developed into Barn’s Green by the late medieval period and by Victorian times there were a number of houses, enough to form a Friendly Society in 1851 with 93 members.

It was during the Victorian period that Barn’s Green developed a strong sense of community, with a village hall built in 1887 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria, which also saw the formation of a workman’s institute though the local inn had changed its name from The Bricklayer’s Arms, as mentioned in 1844, to The Queen’s Head by 1852. One of the unusual past times of the area, portraying its woodland roots, was skug hunting which took place on Boxing Day well into Victorian times. In some restaurants in Brighton today they offer skug, and free food foragers

promote its use, but, for most people they like seeing the humble squirrel running up and down trees. The nearby hamlet of Brooks Green, first mentioned in 1724, had around 9 buildings by 1850 and continues to survive. With the advent of the motor car such villages and hamlets are no longer strangers to the people of Horsham. It may not be an area rich in history, but each hamlet has a story to tell, not perhaps of great deeds, but or rural charm that gives this area its own unique identity, different from other areas explored so far in these articles.

Billifest brings festive fun to village This year, Billingshurst has stepped its Christmas shopping experience up a notch, with loads going on for everyone at Billifest 2011. Expect plenty more than a few chestnuts roasting on the street, as the village brings out a genuine French market, Morris Men and Lady Clog Dancers, Pocket the Clown, Punch and Judy, and a bouncy castle. And to make things all Christmassy, the Billingshurst Choral Society will be

serenading the public with carols. At midday Father Christmas will arrive through a snow blizzard with a sack full of small gifts for children and a performance from the Pom Pom Dance Troupe. There will also be the added attraction of the much-admired local musician Willie Austen, who will perform a free concert from 1.30pm in the entertainment area.

The origins of Billingshurst are obscure. There is some archaeological evidence (flint tools dating back 6,000 years) for early settlement or for people hunting in the woodland that covered this area, but it is not until after the Roman conquest of 45AD that anything more than superficial evidence can be found. The Romans built a series of roads in order to move troops and to control the surrounding land. Later they became major trade routes. Billingshurst is built on either side of Stane Street, the London to Chichester road, both major Roman settlements. However, the nearest Roman settlements at this time were Alfoldean, to the north, and Hardham at Pulborough, to the south. The settlement would have been made up of small scattered farms owned by manors in the south of Sussex. By 1100, a church was built on a spur of land, acting as a focus for the

scattered farm communications. It is at about this time that the parish of Billingshurst came into existence. Owing to the economic pull of Horsham (a village 9 miles to the north that was made a Borough and a market place in the 13th Century) it was unlikely that Billingshurst would be anything other than a small village servicing the needs of the local farming community. Its presence on Stane Street did give it one advantage though as it was on a main communications and trade route. Farms established in the 13th century such as Daulkes, Hammonds, Marringdean, Newbridge, Oakhurst, Gilmans and Gingers would have used the village as a meeting point and religious centre. In the 13th century there is documentary evidence for the existence of ‘Bellingeshurst’. How the parish got its name is uncertain. Hurst means a woodland clearing but the identity of Bellinge is unknown.

Billingshurst. c1911

By the late middle ages a number of foreigners speaking in a ‘Frenchise’ accent would have wandered around the streets of Billingshurst. These were the French glaziers who set up what is known as the Wealden Glass industry, exploiting the woodland for materials. The industry was shortlived dying out around 1620. By the 18th century Billingshurst had grown large enough to start being a centre of trade but in the 19th century Billingshurst was on the main London – south coast road because of Stane Street. In 1796, the Wey navigation went as far as Newbridge and in 1816 the Wey and Arun canal was opened, which put Billingshurst on the only inland water route from London to the south coast. In 1823, William Cobbett wrote in ‘Rural Rides’, “Soon after quitting Billingshurst I crossed the river Arun, which has a canal running along side it. At this there are large timber and coal yards and kilns for lime. This appears to be a grand receiving

and distributing place”. During his visit to Billingshurst he had said it was, “A very pretty village” where he had, “A very nice breakfast in a very neat parlour of a very decent public house”. By 1859, Billingshurst was on the main London-south coast rail route. These lines of communication were the reason for Billingshurst`s expansion and changing nature. In 1837 a local resident would werite “A four horse coach from Worthing to London came through the village and changed horses at the King’s Arms everyday. Vans went to and from London by road for groceries etc. Coal, flint and all heavy goods came by barge on the canal to New Bridge”. By late 20th century new housing estates sprang up and Billingshurst has become a minor industrial area in its own right. Despite the rapid expansion of Billingshurst and its changing nature, it still retains the feel of a large rural village.

Lauren Cartwright of Woodlands Estate Agents in South Street, Horsham, has just taken and passed part 4 of the NFOPP/NAEA residential estate agency exams, with a fantastic 87% pass rate.

Director David Jeffrey said: “Lauren has studied hard for all four parts of the exams, and has successfully passed each stage with �lying colours. She is very dedicated to her profession and puts herself out for all of her clients. She deserves all the success she is achieving!” Lauren added: “It has been hard work, but I’m pleased to have come through successfully. Woodlands Estate Agents offer a professional, honest service and the Directors put membership of the National Association of Estate Agents and the Ombudsman Scheme high on their priorities, so I’m delighted that I am now a fully quali�ied member!”

Every year Leaders branches across the South become the talk of the town as they compete with one another to create the best Christmas window display. Competition is always �ierce, with some excellent, original ideas in recent years, including a striking, environmentally-friendly display made out of recycled items; a vibrant advent calendar theme made by local primary school children; and a snow�lake display made from the handprints of some local nursery children. This year Leaders in Horsham have chosen to support Help for Heroes with their window display. They will be holding a competition to guess the number of presents in Santa’s sack – a small entry fee will be charged which will go to Help for Heroes and Leaders will match the total amount raised. There will also be a large Christmas card in the of�ice for anybody who would like to write their own personal message to the troops. Says Leaders’ Horsham senior branch manager, Kathy Taylor: “We are hoping lots of people will come and look at our window and support our Help for Heroes initiative. We are also hosting a special festive open lunch on Friday, 9th December from 12.30pm where you can join us for wine and refreshments to celebrate another successful year.” As part of Leaders’ competition, members of the public are invited to vote for their favourite Leaders Christmas window - pop along to your local branches between 1st and 15th December to check out their displays and vote for who you think should win. If your vote is for the winning branch, your name will be entered into a prize draw to win a luxury Christmas Hamper! You can either vote in the branch or by sending an email specifying which branch you think looks the best to events@leaders.co.uk If you would like to come along to the festive lunch please RSVP to horsham@leaders.co.uk or call us on 01403 217585.

The Letting Agent

Kathy Taylor Senior Manager Leaders

Q| A|

Why should I use a Letting Agent to let out my property?

Many Landlords prefer not to use a letting agent and there are many reasons for this, they may live close by to their rental property, they may have plenty of time to deal with the issues that might arise and most commonly, they would rather not have to pay agents fees. There are however many benefits to using an agent; good agents such as Leaders will have tried and tested procedures for every eventuality, staff will have the knowledge, experience and qualifications to act in the Landlords best interests, they will have IT systems in place to manage accounting, gas certificates, renewals, rent reviews and notices. Importantly they will be able to advise on all the legislation and legal requirements surrounding letting residential property. Many agents will use an outside referencing provider with access to the main credit agencies such as Experian and are therefore able to provide comprehensive references on tenants before proceeding. With this, Landlords will then qualify for rent insurance or rent guarantee schemes offered by the agent. An agent with a vigorous qualification process and strict referencing criteria is only going to be putting forward good quality tenants which clearly is in any Landlords best interests and avoids problems further down the line. Additionally, a major advantage agents have over private Landlords working on their own is marketing power and the majority of agents will subscribe to several different lettings portals, have a regular advert in the local paper, a town centre presence, bespoke, user friendly websites and a constant database of qualified prospective tenants. It is common place for Tenants to choose to only rent through an agent as this gives them peace of mind that their deposit monies will be correctly protected, maintenance issues reported with will be dealt with quickly and efficiently by trustworthy contractors and that in the event of a complaint there will be a professional body they can turn to. When a tenancy is fully managed by an agent Landlords benefit from a panel of tried and tested contractors to work on their properties if needed. These contractors will have been vetted, hold all the relevant insurances for their profession and provide quality work at competitive prices. The agent will also be the point of contact for the Tenant in the event of things like broken washing machines, noisy neighbours, bin collections and more, something that I’m sure the majority of Landlords would rather avoid. Leaders, like some other agents, provide a 24 hour emergency service which meant that we were able to help a Tenant who found themselves without heating or hot water last Christmas. I can’t imagine any Landlord who would have welcomed that call as they opened their stocking on Christmas morning! For advice on any aspect of Letting or Renting contact Kathy Taylor on 01403 217585 or kathytaylor@leaders.co.uk.

Nissan is ready to ignite the test track Olli Nott Motors Editor

olli@the-resident.co.uk

Dubbed world’s fastest crossover, with nothing that springs to mind that could even dream of keeping up, the Juke-R is a unique concept car that combines the power, speed and handling of Nissan’s GT-R sports car with the bold, exciting and often described as Marmite design of the Juke crossover model. A solo photo-shoot of the Juke-R, reflect the thought-provoking, energetic style of this urban rebel crossover, while its menacing matt black finish enhances the car’s rebellious personality. The car’s unique, impactful styling places Juke’s curves and lines over GT-R’s 3.8-litre engine, drivetrain and suspension, making Juke-R the most testosterone-packed compact crossover in the world. It is a force to be reckoned with not only in eye opening performance, delivered in a swift 480bhp, but also in its bold and menacing design.

help draw air through the engine bay. Flared wheel arches cover the GT-R’s 20-inch RAYS forged alloy wheels to merge with a new sculpted skirting. At the back of the car a dynamic split rear wing provides the supercar crossover with down-force, while twin pentagonal exhausts emit the GT-R’s evocative engine note. Inside, the Juke’s motorcycleinspired console is at the centre of a modified interior cabin fitted out to go racing complete with twin race seats, full race harness and a racespec roll cage. GT-R steering wheel, pedals, dials and 7-inch touch-screen display are built into a modified version of Juke’s dashboard. Juke-R is not a production car but a special, road legal concept car. Two versions are being created – one in left-hand-drive and one in righthand-drive. It will go into testing in late November before it’s unleashed on the world to take on the urban playground. Until then, follow the story on the official YouTube channel: youtube. com/NissanJuke and at www. Facebook.com/NissanJukeOfficial This is my all-time dream car. I love the marmite styling and the butch stance, along with the little bit of “extra poke” you get from the GT-R’s running gear. I want one. I want one now.

Horsham

Billericay

Freeman

Horsham fell to a 5-0 defeat at Gorings Mead as an excellent Billericay side went top of the table, leaving the Hornets rooted to the bottom. The Essex visitors didn’t waste any time in taking control as Craig Edwards slotted home after a cross from the left. Edwards got his second in the 22nd minute, converting at the back post when Dave Collis’ corner sailed over goalkeeper Tomasz Krol. Horsham were able to halt the assault for a period in the second half, but Jay May’s header made it 3-0, defender Ian Varley was sent off for a second bookable offence and the excellent Emeka Onwubiko added two more inside six minutes. Horsham boss Hugo Langton admitted: “It was the right result. We didn’t keep the ball, we didn’t press the ball and our workrate wasn’t great. I have been saying for weeks if we drop our standards, we’ll get beaten. “I think they’re the best team I’ve seen this season. Maybe not the most glamorous, but they are up there and you can see why. You can’t find a fault in their team. “I’ve got a very unhappy and disheartened changing room at the moment because nobody likes losing, let alone losing 5-0, but we need to stick together and look after each other. “I’m not going to make cut-throat changes to the squad. I haven’t got the resources to do it, I’ve got to work with what I’ve got. I’m prepared to do that and happy to do that. “I love it because I’ve got work to do. As nice as it would be to go home with a bottle of wine and watch The X Factor without a care in the world,

I can go home and think about how to fix this.” Langton was keen to praise one of his young defenders. He said: “Jake Jacobs was magnificent, playing out of position. He is going to go far in the game. “People have knocked him and it’s hit him hard, but I’m going to work so hard with him because he deserves it. I think he was head and shoulders above anybody else. “He is a joy to work with, he’s a lovely lad, and he’s got the spirit, determination and the enthusiasm to succeed in the game. He dedicates his life to football.” Referring to Varley’s dismissal, Langton added: “It doesn’t just seem to be raining on me, it seems to be pouring. “He’s puzzled about the first yellow card. He pulled him back for the second and you can’t argue with that. “Discipline perhaps has been a bit of an issue. We’ve spoken about it as a group because we can’t keep going down to 10 men, fighting uphill battles.” Tomorrow (Saturday) the Hornets host Kingstonian, who they beat early in the season. But Langton stressed: “It doesn’t matter what happened a few months ago. Kingstonian are a big, strong Ryman League powerhouse. We’ve got stand up and be men now.”

Also in Division A, Dan Stutchbury’s double helped Horsham Sparrows U16 draw 2-2 against Twin Oaks U16. Louie Donnelly made the first with an exquisite cross. Broadbridge Heath U16 enjoyed the better of a 7-4 thriller against Henfield U16 in Division C. Richard Castle (three), Ben Martin (two), Edvaldo Vicente and Jack Jones scored. Lower Beeding and Handcross Lions U15 made an incredible comeback against Horsham Tigers U15, but it still wasn’t quite enough for a point. Lions were 4-0 down at half time but dominated in every aspect during the second half, scoring three times without reply. The comeback started with an own goal. A cheeky lob by Liam Ruz and a well-taken penalty by captain Andrew Roberts made it 4-3 before Lions pushed for an equaliser in the

final 10 minutes. Roberts led Lions’ attack with great passes splitting the defence and Glenn Johnson put dangerous crosses into the box, but Tigers were relieved to hold on. Matt Streeter was Lions’ man of the match. Southwater U13 produced a fine second-half display to see off Kirdford U13 5-3 after trailing 3-2. Jamie Dark was the hat-trick hero, while Louchlan O’Brien and Ben Clark were also on target. Ryan Holmwood’s hat-trick gave Southwater U12 a 3-0 lead over Roffey Robins Athletic U12, but goals from Athletic’s Bayley Read and Jack Rowe made it a nail-biting finish. Goalkeeper Hannah Gardener scored from the spot as Horsham Sparrows Girls U11 beat Southdown Girls U11 2-0. Charley Simpson added the second, taking her total for the season to 17.

Regular goalkeeper Lewis Blaney came on as an outfield substitute and scored for Horsham U16 at Marle Place Wanderers U16. Blaney pounced with a half volley when Ollie Smith and Jake Legrange hit a post and the crossbar in quick succession. That put the seal on victory for the young Hornets, whose deadly duo of Legrange and Zak Comber both struck twice. Legrange’s goals were both headers, while Comber’s first was a 25-yard lob. Horsham have won their first four matches in Division 1 of the Sussex Sunday Youth League, leaving them a point behind Hove Rivervale U16 with a game in hand. Another goal machine, Liam Clarke, scored two more to help Horsham

U14 win 5-0 at Ferring U14 in the County Cup. George Matthews, Nick Bristow and Louis Lewis got the others, while Finn Bigg caused problems throughout. Reuben Selby’s late goal made the difference as Horsham U15 won 2-1 at Summerley Park Rangers U15 in Division A of the Arun and Chichester Youth League. Andrew Roberts opened the scoring with his customary goal, a header from Callum Nash’s corner, but Rangers equalised shortly before half time. Will Kerr saw a header well saved and shot against the underside of the crossbar before Selby drilled the winner seven minutes from time. Inexperienced Horsham U18 crashed to a 5-0 derby defeat against Horsham YMCA U18 in the Ryman Youth League. Louis Masih (two), captain Matt Merridew, Lewis Scally and Harry

Magnus did the damage, four of the goals coming in the second half. Adam Laker’s hat-trick helped Southwater Red U18 to a 4-2 win against Chichester City U18. Griffin Shiel’s goal was all that separated the sides at half time before Laker made it 4-0. City clawed two goals back, but fine saves by the Rossoneri’s Ross Bryant helped secure the three points. Royal United U16 won 4-1 at Dorking Saints U16 in the Horsham and District Youth League battle between last season’s double winners and the two-time runners-up. Man of the match Jake Legrange struck twice, Tom Killner-Brown and the hardworking Harry Garman once each. Alex Parsons, Connor Cushing, Anthony Jupp, Callum McHale and Aaron Chaplin also impressed for Royals, who top Division A after four wins and a draw.

When Albion played Southampton on Saturday I got thinking about how matches between the teams have become more important and the rivalry between fans has increased. It is nowhere near the rivalry between Albion and Palace fans, or that between Saints and Pompey supporters, but it is there nonetheless. When I was a child growing up, the Palace games were always the most important – the ones I looked for first when the fixtures came out during the summer. When they were in the same league as us, as they weren’t a lot of the time, Southampton were always one of the next I would look out for. And so it was this summer. Albion fans will remember how Southampton and Spurs played out a dubious 0-0 draw in the final game of the 1977-8 season, securing promotion for both to the old Division 1 while we missed out on goal difference. Maybe that is where some of our feelings about Southampton come from. At least that disappointment was short-lived as we gained promotion the following season. On Saturday we travelled to the match on the NWSS coach. In the lateSeventies we could have expected bricks through the windows as we entered or left the city, but this time there was no such barbaric reception. Before the match, both sets of supporters were happy to share the same drinking establishments, wearing their team’s colours. Hostility during the game was limited to a few tired homophobic chants from a small section of the home fans, which led to two arrests, and a few Pompey chimes from Albion fans. As I sat on the coach after the match, sipping a scalding cup of tea from a polystyrene cup, a small group of the Hampshire constabulary ran past. So there might have been a confrontation somewhere, but nowhere near what would have happened in years gone by. It seems the rivalry between Albion and Southampton fans is more virtual than real. Okay, most of us probably don’t have Southampton or their manager on our Christmas card list, but most of the rivalry and even hatred seems to be limited to a few keyboard warriors. These brave souls, who sit in their bedrooms and post abuse on the internet, have a lot to do with this phony rivalry. To me and I believe most Albion fans, Saints are just a team we would rather not lose to – and particularly not in the fashion we did on Saturday.

About 400 fight fans enjoyed an evening of entertainment as Horsham Boxing Club staged a cracking show at the Holbrook Club. Harry Orsini, 13, was the only victorious Horsham fighter in the local club’s nine scored fights, but coaches Lee Cole and Dan Purchase took heart from the performances of six debutants. Purchase said: “We’re rebuilding

the club. All of the boxers acquitted themselves very well and there’s a lot for us to take to the gym. “Some of the planned matches fell through and our boxers had some very tough matches. Sam Pothecary ended up being matched on his debut with a fighter who had fought 16 times. “I was particularly impressed with little Tom Smith. When they’re throwing punches like that, it’s very difficult to score.” Head coach Cole said: “The guys were up against quality opponents from good clubs and they did as well as they could with their lack

of experience. They all fought their hearts out and did themselves proud.” It was fifth time lucky for Orsini, who had been the victim of some dubious decisions in his previous bouts. After earning a majority verdict against Tom Borthwick (Hastings West Hill), the Tanbridge House School pupil from Southwater said: “I fought a good boxer, but I was able to block quite a few of his punches and I got through with the jab. “I was really nervous before the fight, but all that went away and I concentrated on the cornermen and my opponent.”

Horsham U12 won the Land Rover Premiership Cup at Pulborough, beating Heath�ield U12 by �ive tries to nil in the �inal. The prestigious tournament, which featured clubs from Sussex and Surrey, guaranteed a high standard and competitive rugby. But Horsham were worthy champions, scoring 11 tries and conceding none while defeating Worthing (1-0), Cobham (2-0), Dorking (1-0), Chobham (2-0) and Heath�ield (5-0). Horsham blitzed Heath�ield from the start, dominating the game in every aspect. The �ive tries combined the strength, structure and physicality of the pack with the guile, speed and power of the backs. Playing some of the best rugby ever seen from this group of players, Horsham outplayed, outtackled, out-thought and out-scored a traditionally strong team, who had

Horsham U12

no answer to some swashbuckling play. Horsham U14 recorded a �ine 21-7 victory against traditional rivals Pulborough U14, another of the top sides in the Sussex A League. Rowan Murphy-Hunt scored an opportunistic opening try. After seizing on a loose ball he kicked ahead, won the race to be �irst to the ball and applied enough downward pressure to be awarded a try. Following a Pulborough scrum, Horsham stole the ball and released Matt ‘Shorts’ Collier on the left wing to outpace the defence and score under the posts. And the result was beyond much doubt when James Fitzpatrick made a powerful run before of�loading to Alex Clery for Horsham’s third try. Callum Boswell converted two of the tries and Murphy-Hunt the other before Pulborough scored a converted try of their own. Bryn Bloodworth was man of the match in the front row. • It was a less successful weekend for Horsham’s men, who lost 29-15 at Medway.
