County championship: Briggs and Brown set up vital Sussex win
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Sussex captain Luke Wright praised his bowlers for sparking the Glamorgan collapse that set up a county championship win that has kept alive their promotion hopes.
After bowling out the hosts on the final day at Sophia Gardens for 263, Wright’s men were left needing 233 for their second championship win of the campaign - and after a few scares, they got there with two wickets to spare.
Wright said: “The pitch was a little damp, it was tough to bat on and rather that set up a game with Glamorgan we wanted to try to bowl them out.
“Chasing 233 was always going to be difficult, but credit to Ben Brown and Danny Briggs wo set up the win with that 55-run stand.”
Sussex are 43 points behind leaders Essex with a game in hand in the race for division two’s sole promotion spot and Wright added; “We have big games left against Kent and Essex, and I am glad we won as we still have an outside chance of promotion, even if it is a slim one.”
The partnership of 55 in nine overs for the eighth wicket between Brown and Briggs set up Sussex’s triumph.
We have big games left against Kent and Essex, and I am glad we won as we still have an outside chance of promotion, even if it is a slim one. Luke Wright
Although Briggs was out for an aggressive 36, Brown and George Garton guided Sussex home with 20 balls remaining.
At one stage they had been reduced to 156 for seven, with Timm Van Der Gugten taking 5-73, his third five wicket haul of the season, but the eighth-wicket pair’s partnership was a vital one for the visitors.
Glamorgan had resumed on 149 for 2, but soon lost their overnight batsmen Will Bragg and David Lloyd, who had put on 77 for the third wicket.
Despite an attractive innings of 59 from 64 balls from Aneurin Donald, Glamorgan then lost their way as the last five wickets fell for just 17 runs.
Donald was caught behind off Garton, who then dismissed Mark Wallace with his next ball. Graham Wagg struck Briggs into the River Taff, but attempted a shot two overs later and mistimed and was caught at mid-off.
The reckless approach continued, and instead of setting Sussex a challenging target, they were left to chase 233 in 62 overs.
Van Der Gugten gave Glamorgan the perfect start when he trapped Ed Joyce leg before with the first ball of the innings, but Chis Nash and Luke Wells were seldom in trouble adding 86 for the second wicket before Wells was lbw to Owen Morgan’s left arm spin for 33.
At tea, Sussex were comfortably placed on 92 for 2, before Wagg dismissed Nash for 64 following his 132 in the first innings. Sussex then lost three wickets for 12 runs, as Van der Gugten, who had changed ends and after dismissing Christian Davis leg before, bowled David Wiese and Luke Wright.
When Briggs joined Brown, after Jofra Archer’s dismissal, Sussex required another 77, but Briggs, who has played some useful innings recently, was soon into his stride, striking boundaries on both sides of the wicket. He eventually holed out to mid-on but Brown was there at the end on 42 out.

Lightning bolts home to claim Celebration Mile at Goodwood
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Lightning Spear bolted to Celebration Mile glory at Goodwood - now it could be next stop Champions’ Day at Ascot.
The 4/1 shot, trained by David Simcock, beat a strong set of four rivals to win the Doom Bar-sponsored feature race on day two of Goodwood’s August bank holiday festival.
Simcock is now thinking of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at October’s Champions’ Day.
The five-year-old had not won since June 2015, but came from last place to secure a length-and-three-quarters success in the £110,000 Group 2 contest.
Lightning Spear benefitted from a fine Oisin Murphy ride that left Zonderland and Frankie Dettori in second and Arod third.
The favourite, Sir Michael Stoute’s Thikriyaat, was a disappointing last after failing to get into reckoning from the word go.
I’ve always said he’s the best miler we’ve had and I believe that next year he will show his true potential. Lightning Spear’s trainer David Simcock
Simcock said of Lightning Spear: “We’ve always known what a good horse he is but things haven’t gone right for him. I feel sorry for the horse because he has so much talent, but he’s only really been let go twice. He didn’t show up in the Sussex and at Deauville, it was a messy race run on tacky ground.
“I will aim him towards Ascot now and it will be the QEII. I’ve always said he’s the best miler we’ve had and I believe that next year he will show his true potential.”
It was a hot and often hunid afternoon on the Downs as another big crowd packed into the racecourse to enjoy the action.
The opener, the Absolute Aesthetics Maiden Fillies’ Stakes, went to 11/1 chance Tara Celeb, ridden by John Egan for Mick Channon, beating Money In My Pocket by a neck.
The afternoon’s first Group race, the Group 3 Prestige Stakes,m went to the first time to trainer Mark Johnston, who saw Franny Norton hold off the challenge of Sean Levery on Promising for a 5/1 success on Kilmah.
Andrea Atzeni prevailed in the Goodwood Revival Stakes on the Roger Varian-trained Certificate, the 7/2 favourite, in another close finish.
Atzeni completed a quickfire double by riding Platitude - tipped on this website - to victory in the Lewis Badges 1832 March Stakes as a 13/8 favourite for Stoute.
Quebee was a 9/2 winner of the Whiteley Clinic Stakes for jockey Martin Harley and trainer Clive Cox -who’d only just missed out on the day’s big prize as the trainer of Zonderland - and there was a win in the Golf Academy At Goodwood Stakes for Sussex trainer Gary Moore as Hector Crouch rode Guns of Leros first home at 5/2.
The holiday weekend festival concludes on Sunday, when the Supreme Stakes is the big race at 4.20pm.
Tips for Sunday: 2.05 Carducci, 2.35 Gabster, 3.10 In The Red, 3.45 Pink Ribbon, 4.20 So Beloved, 4.55 Myopic, 5.30 Kiringa.

The body of a diver who went missing on Saturday has been recovered from the water at Bognor, police have said today.
Selsey RNLI was called to help in a five-hour search for the missing man after he reportedly failed to resurface while diving about three miles from the lifeboat station.
Police have confirmed that a body found in the water yesterday afternoon is believed to be that of the same person.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and the coroner’s officer is dealing with the incident, police said.
The body was brought ashore by a lifeboat from Littlehampton RNLI, police added.

Ambitious programme for Brighton Early Music Festival
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Brighton Early Music Festival prepares for its 15th outing this October, with tickets going on sale on September 5 – the latest chapter in a story of remarkable success.
Festival co-artistic director Clare Norburn said: “I think we have been successful because we take quite a different approach to other classical music festivals in the way that we work with artists, and that’s becoming clearer and clearer every year. We have now started calling ourselves a development agency for early music. We don’t just take off-the-peg programmes from artists. We do that, but what is so distinctive about what we do is that we are also about commissioning work.
“We have always commissioned works, right from the start, but in the first ten to 12 years, we commissioned works and they were performed at BREMF and that was it. But what is exciting now is that one of our 2013 productions is now on tour. We put together a tour of 13 promoters.”
The piece explores the life and music of the Renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo and is being performed by The Marian Consort: “And it is great for them because it has really accelerated their development, which is great for everyone. I think that is the kind of model we want to be working on.
“Brighton is at the forefront of creating new work with artists that then goes on tour, and this year we are commissioning at least a couple of works that will definitely follow that model. For one of them (recorder consort Palisander, Saturday, November 12, 11.30am), we have already approached promoters, and their performance will be the first performance of a tour if they can get their Arts Council funding. We are increasingly helping artists in a much more holistic long term way rather than just giving them a platform in Brighton. Increasingly we have had promoters that have given engagements to artists, but now we are much more proactive in helping them be much more forward-thinking.
“We are aiming to put our energies more into things that go on to have another life. It is great that we get the premieres in Brighton, but we want to support the artists further. The fact is that it is incredibly difficult for young performers to get started.
It has never been harder for young groups to make headway.
“Young people coming out of college might know a lot about music, but they probably don’t have any administrative experience or contacts, and that makes it terribly difficult. We passionately believe that the arts should be a meritocracy, that you should have an audience, that it shouldn’t just be about who you know.”
This year’s Brighton Early Music Festival takes the theme Nature & Science and runs from October 28 to November 13, with flagship events including a new play with music about the life and work of Galileo (Oct 29 and 30). Set during his final days, the play will relive key moments in Galileo’s life including his trial and excommunication.

BREAKING NEWS: Railway station staff to strike over ticket office cuts
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Railway station staff are due to strike over cuts to ticket office opening hours planned across Sussex.
The RMT union has already called a 48-hour strike starting Wednesday September 7 over Govia Thameslink Railway’s plans to change the role of conductors to on-board supervisors on Southern services.
Now RMT members will also hold a 24-hour walkout on September 7 over GTR’s plans to cut the opening hours of its station ticket offices.
The union fears the reorganisation will affect dispatchers and barrier staff in the near future.
Mick Cash, RMT general secretary, said; “The Govia Thamelink franchise is in meltdown and not fit for purpose. Not content with axing catering services, closing ticket offices and attacking the role of their guards they now want to threaten 130 station jobs and compromise the safety of both their passengers and staff alike.
“Our members have made it clear that they will not stand by while this basket-case franchise unleashes yet another attack on jobs and services in the drive for profits and that is why we have no option but to take strike action.
“These cuts plans fly in the face of the response from the thousands of passengers who objected to the closure of ticket offices and the de-staffing of stations as Govia drives on with plans for a “faceless railway” where the public are left to fend for themselves on rammed-out, dangerous and unreliable services.
“It is about time Govia Thameslink started acting responsibly, halted their cuts plans and got round the table with the union in serious and genuine talks.”
Proposals would see most ticket offices across Sussex open on weekday peak times only, typically between 7-10am, with ‘station hosts’ selling tickets on concourses at other times of the day.
Both Falmer and Lancing’s offices are set to close completely, while locations facing cuts include Angmering, Barnham, Bexhill, Bognor Regis, Burgess Hill, Chichester, Crawley, East Grinstead, Eastbourne, Hassocks, Horley, Horsham, Hove, Lewes, Littlehampton, Polegate, Portslade, Shoreham, and Worthing.
Late last week the Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA) started to ballot more than 250 ticket office and platform staff, with the results due to be announced on Friday September 2.
Manuel Cortes, general secretary of the TSSA, said: “We cannot stand by and allow GTR to reduce Southern Railway to a second class operation which is not fit for passengers and staff.
“Passengers have suffered enough over the past few months and it is now time for Chris Grayling [Transport Secretary] to act. GTR should be stripped off this franchise and it should be handed over to the publicly run Transport for London as Sadiq Khan has suggested.
“Then we will have a publicly run franchise which will be operating in the public interest, not in the interest of private shareholders.”

Sussex restaurants spared as Frankie and Benny's owners announce closure plans
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Frankie and Benny's restaurants in Sussex are not expected to be affected by a closure plan, a company spokesman has confirmed today (Friday).
A spokesman for The Restaurant Group PLC, which also owns the Chiquito chain, confirmed that none of its Frankie and Benny outlets in Sussex are expected to close after announcing plans to close or sell 33 "underperforming" sites.
Restaurant Group, which owns more 500 eateries in the UK including in Brighton, Chichester, Crawley and Eastbourne, announced the closure plans this morning (Friday, August 26) as part of its interim results report.
The move comes after the company replaced chief executive Danny Breithaupt with former Paddy Power boss Andy McCue earlier this month.
Company chairman Debbie Hewitt said:"This has been a challenging trading period for our leisure brands, albeit with a good performance from our pubs and concessions businesses. The board has moved quickly to undertake a review of the operating strategy and we now have clarity on the issues facing our Leisure brands, particularly Frankie and Benny's.
"The brand remains relevant and popular and we are confident that improved performance will be achieved by being more customer-focussed and data-driven, and through better operational execution."

City ladies start as they mean to go on

www.chichester.co.uk
|
Chichester City Ladies got their Women’s Premier League SW division one campaign off to the perfect start by beating Cheltenham 4-0 at Oaklands Park.
Goals by Chloe Dowdell, Cherelle Khassal, Jade Widdows and Lauren Cheshire delighted a large crowd.
After a successful pre-season, Liam Greenfield was delighted to see the form carried into the new term.
Chichester were off like a rocket from the start, pushing the ball wide and testing the defence at regular intervals. Kerrie Ryan made a welcome return in the Chichester defence and she and Laura Ingram should make for a formidable defence. Chances were coming thick and fast for the hosts but the finishing touch was deserting Shannon Albuery and Khassel.
Keeper Bec Panniers was preventing the green army getting their noses in front.
Jess Lewry brought the best out of Panniers with a terrific effort that needed the keeper’s fingertip touch to put over the bar.
This was the kick up the backside Chichester needed and they soon doubled their advantage.
Just after the half-hour, Chichester broke the deadlock through the reliable Dowdell. Khassel made a burst down the right and delivered a lovely ball,into the area that Dowdell buried.
In the first half, Chichester had more than 20 shots on target but it was only 1-0 at the break.
Chichester almost got caught out, close to the hour when striker Ella Hitchcox broke the offside trap and had only keeper Sally-Anne Thompson to beat. Her chip went narrowly wide.
This was the kick up the backside Chichester needed and they soon doubled their advantage. Widdows, fresh off the bench, produced a perfectly-timed leap to bullet a header home from a Becky Barron corner.
Khassel deservedly got on the scoresheet with a quality finish at the back stick thanks to a lovely set-up by Dowdell.
Cheshire rounded off the scoring with a late penalty after Lewry was upended in the box.
This Sunday Chichester travel to the royal county of Berkshire to take on Maidenhead, bidding to keep up their early pace.
CCLFC: Thompson, Alexandre, Cheshire, Khassel, Albuery, Dowdell, Barron, Lewry, Ryan, Ingram, Widdowson. Subs: Ambler, Widdows, Pallant, Oliver.

New audiobook on how to leave the booze behind...
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
It’s summer, the weather is glorious sometimes, the booze is flowing, but for many of us it flows a little too easily…
Selsey author Julian Kirkman-Page offers the perfect answer with the new audiobook version of his guide to life after alcohol.
Summer might just be the time to consider cutting down our alcohol intake, or even quitting forever. So what is life like after alcohol and could you cope?
To celebrate the audiobook version of his successful guide to deciding to quit alcohol, Julian Kirkman-Page is giving away ten copies free. All you have to do is visit www.idontdrink.net and say what your favourite non-alcoholic drink is to be entered into the prize draw.
“This book is aimed firmly at the drinker who probably knows they need to quit, but who doesn’t want to, because they can’t imagine life without alcohol.
“So how difficult is life like without alcohol? Is it even worth considering? And could you cope?”
In January, Julian, author of book I Don’t Drink – how to quit alcohol launched his new book aimed at the drinker who needs to cut down or quit drinking but doesn’t want to.
Julian said: “I never wanted to quit alcohol. I hated the very thought of stopping drinking, but deep inside I knew I had to so I did, and I can’t believe how easy it turned out to be. Despite whatever temptation comes my way, I don’t miss alcohol at all, and stopping drinking has made an incredible difference to my life and the lives of my family. For one thing, I know for a fact I would be dead by now if I were still a drinker!”
The audiobook version has been narrated and produced by Jim Cassidy.
Julian said: “I wanted a professional reader who could couple the comic aspects of the tales in the book with the seriousness of the subject matter. Living without alcohol is not boring but it is life-changing, and I wanted my narrator to be able to stress that. Jim has done a fantastic job and his soft Scots accent will appeal to everyone.”
In December 2012, Julian quit alcohol after having been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, having already watched both his mother and elder brother die from liver failure and seriously expecting to be dead himself by age 56. Now three and a half years later, Julian’s diabetes has been resolved, he has never been so fit or healthy, he has revolutionised his life and he firmly expects to live a full and rewarding life well into his 90s, and all because he quit alcohol.
“But I didn’t want to, and if you don’t really want to either but you know you should – listen to this book!”
One Less for the Road is available as both an e-book, paperback and audiobook from Amazon or via the website www.idontdrink.net.

Life ban for Pokemon GO cheats
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Pokemon GO players who are found to be cheating will have a permanent ban slapped on them, it has been announced.
The game’s developer, Niantic, has altered the terms and conditions to include the condition that a life ban will ensue for anyone caught using trickery to bag Pokemon.
The new clause prohibits: “Falsifying your location, using emulators, modified or unofficial software and/or accessing Pokemon GO clients or backends in an unauthorized manner including through the use of third party software.”
It has been reported that some users have managed to fool the app into thinking they were at a different location. Some Pokemon are region-specific, although taken to extremes, a player could play the game without leaving their home.
“Our goal is to provide a fair, fun and legitimate game experience for everyone,” Niantic said:
“We will continue to work with all of you to improve the quality of the gameplay, including ongoing optimization and fine tuning of our anti-cheat system.”
Anyone believing that have been unfairly banned can access an appeals system.

National success for Chichester artist
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Chichester Art Society member Glen Smith has had a painting selected for the Royal Society of Marine Artists’ annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in central London from September 28-October 8.
Glen’s painting of Newquay Harbour was one of 1,100 submitted by non-members of the RSMA and is one of the small number selected to hang alongside the work of RSMA members at their annual exhibition. The exhibition’s theme is the sea and everything related to it, from beaches and creeks to harbours and boats.
Chichester Art Society spokeswoman Jean Campbell said: “This exhibition is regarded as the most prestigious and varied marine art exhibition in the country and will feature over 400 works from emerging and well-established artists across a range of media, including oil painting, watercolour, pastels, prints, and sculpture.
“The society congratulates Glen, whose work was a visitors’ favourite at its June exhibition this year and wishes him continued success with his work in the future.”

New album for Chichester graduate
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
University of Chichester graduate Joe Perkins tries to capture a little bit of chaotic Quo in his new album.
Joe, who studied commercial music graduating in 2012, has long been a huge Status Quo fan: he first saw them, aged ten, in Bristol 16 years ago.
“And I have seen them with the modern line-up loads of times, always the perfect Quo. But then they played with their original line-up, and they were just all over the place in terms of the timing and the notes, but in terms of the musicality, they were just so exciting.
“They had the danger back, and it was just so much better for not being perfect, and I think that is one of the lessons I have learnt.
“You record a song and then you can edit it and edit it until it is perfect, but that’s not necessarily the best way to do it.
“You want the edge, which is what Quo had. They looked terrified! But that nervous energy made it the best Quo show I’d ever seen. It was so much more exciting for being edgy and dangerous. It was four humans all playing together with the whole thing likely to implode at any point. It was pure rock & roll!
“We are human beings. We are not perfect. We all make mistakes. With technology, you can make it perfect, but you lose the fact that we are all musicians playing together. It’s about the spontaneous things that can happen, and that’s what I have wanted to capture.
“There are little mistakes, but the album is what I sound like when I play the guitar. And it is the first album I haven’t done in a recording studio. I did it in the dining room at home. It was about giving free rein to the music.”
It was while he was at Chichester that Joe did his first album: “It was a very good course, but for me the most important thing was the studio facilities that we could book out. The course was very wide-ranging, but in your spare time you could get into the studio and having the studio was great. You got taught all the basics of making a record, but then you could develop it all further.
“I did my first album then which I released free online. So many people had got involved and given their time for free that it wouldn’t have been right to try to sell it.
“It was call Host of Other Artists. It was all songs I had written and played pretty much every instrument, but it was other people doing the lead vocals. I did some backing vocals, but I am not strong enough a singer to do the lead vocals.”
Now comes the new album, purely instrumental. Double Denim is released on Friday, September 2, as a vinyl + CD bundle (limited to 300 copies) and as a download – both available from joeperkins.co.uk. Both are priced at £7.99.
“Releasing the album on vinyl isn’t purely nostalgic,” Joe says. “Sure, I personally prefer buying music as a physical entity and enjoying it as a piece of art, and I think vinyl is the best for that.
“But the audio is actually much higher definition than the CD and has a more dynamic master. You’ll have to turn it up a bit, but it sounds more natural. Nowadays we all need to own our music digitally too, so with the enclosed CD you get that as well.
“So that’s Double Denim. There’s rock; bluegrass; ballads; a snare drum with far too much reverb on it; potentially the world’s loudest cajón; an army of pots and pans; an outrageous amount of guitars; a sense of humour; and real human musicians playing their instruments.
“And who else gives you all that on an outdated format from the 1930s?”

Get Active Festival set to bring 50 different fun sports activities to Chichester

www.chichester.co.uk

Chichester residents are set to benefit for a summer of sport as they gear up for the city’s annual activity festival.
Everyone Active, which manages a number of leisure facilities across the area on behalf of Chichester District Council, is getting ready to host this year’s Get Active Festival on Sunday, September 4 at Oaklands Park.
The event caters for all ages and abilities, and aims to encourage local residents to lead more active lifestyles and to think about what they can do to improve their health and wellbeing. From 12pm – 4pm, visitors will have the chance to try a number of sports and pastimes with the aim of encouraging them to include activity as part of their daily routine.
The Get Active Festival will be showcasing more than fifty different sports and activities. As well as football, tennis and cricket, there will also be opportunity for guests to try their hand at something a little different, such as one of the many martial arts on offer, fencing, softball or orienteering.
This year will also see the introduction of a number of new events. Bubble football, cookery demonstrations, walking football and netball will be all be making their debut at the event.
The festival, which is being sponsored by Prebendal Preparatory School and Oakwood School, will mark the start of Everyone Active’s Get Active Month, where its centres in the district will be opening their doors to the public and hosting a range of free events. Throughout September, Everyone Active’s Westgate Leisure Centre, Bourne Leisure Centre and The Grange Community and Leisure Centre will be working with local schools and communities to help boost levels of activity and get people thinking about how they can make each day a more active one.
Stuart Mills, Everyone Active’s contract manager for Chichester, said: “The Get Active Festival is a fantastic day for everyone in the local community, regardless of their age or ability. It has grown into a huge event and has been awarded Inspire Mark status as a London 2012 Legacy event. We want to encourage people to participate in 30 minutes of exercise, five times a week in order to stay fit and healthy. Get Active Month gives people the chance to try their hand at different activities and find something they really enjoy. By giving them this opportunity, we hope they will continue to participate with regular activity and really feel the benefits of increasing their fitness levels.”

BREAKING: Pagham armed man stand-off now over
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A stand-off between police and an armed man in Pagham is now over.
After 40 hours outside a house in Harbour Road, the incident has been ‘peacefully/safely resolved’, according to DCC Bernie O’Reilly on Twitter.
Officers were initially dispatched to Harbour Road at 4.30pm Sunday afternoon after reports that the 72-year-old man had a gun and was using threatening behaviour at a house on the road.
A woman who was known to him was in the property as well and was believed to have been taken hostage. She left the home later that night though, and is now safe and well.
The are no reports of any injuries.
Before the siege ended, Detective Superintendent Carwyn Hughes said: “The safety of local residents is our priority and we are doing all we can to make sure their daily routines and Bank Holiday plans are not disrupted. People living in properties along Harbour Road are free to come and go with police support.”
Going into the second night, Chief Superintendent Neil Honnor said: “I appreciate this must be a little disconcerting and frustrating for local residents having a continued large police presence outside their homes.
“The safety of the local community is paramount and we are doing all we can to resolve this ongoing incident in a controlled way.”
Residents were told to stay in their homes while armed officers carried out on the operation.

Search for ‘missing swimmer’ at beach days after tragedy
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Police have confirmed they are looking for a missing swimmer at Camber Sands – days after five men lost their lives at the beach.
A coastguard helicopter is circling above Camber Sands, and a spokesperson for the RNLI confirmed they had lifeboats at the scene.
Sussex Police said they were called to the scene after a member of the public contacted them and the coastguard at Camber Sands after seeing an abandoned pair of flip flops next to the sea and a female diving into the water at this location.
A spokesperson added: “Officers at the scene are doing coastal checks to see if there are any persons swimming having difficulty”.
An RNLI spokesperson said the search for the ‘potentially missing swimmer’ was being co-ordinated by Sussex Police and the coastguard, and that their lifeguards were keeping watch from the beach with binoculars.
This search comes after five men lost their lives at Camber Sands last week, and the RNLI donated lifeguards to patrol the beach over the Bank Holiday weekend. Click here to read more.

Polo prizes still come thick and fast at Cowdray Park

The Gel-Eze Midsummer 12-goal tournament came to its conclusion with Gardenvale facing BHC in the final.
Playing alongside Shane Finemore in his Gardenvale team were James Harper (six goals), England captain James Beim (seven goals) and Hugo Taylor (no goals).
Mo Sheikh’s BHC team featured Ralph Richardson (two goals) playing at No2, Dirkie Van Reenen (four goals) at three and six-goaler Jack Richardson at back.
Ralph Richardson scored the opening goal for BHC with Harper soon equalising. A spot penalty taken by Harper gave Gardenvale the lead and a goal from Taylor took them further to 3-1 by the end of the first chukka.
A splendid run all the way to the goal saw Jack Richardson score a super goal for BHC to narrow the gap, but Beim scored again to put Gardenvale 4-2 up at half-time.
A lively second half saw Taylor score his second of the match but a penalty enabled BHC’s Jack Richardson to send the ball straight through the posts from 40 yards and lessen the gap.
Another attempt at goal went wide but Van Reenen for BHC captured the ball from the hit-in and a lovely piece of play between him and Jaichardson saw another goal for Sheikh’s side.
Harper and Beim tried to shut down the BHC attack but Jack Richardson managed to break free and steal the ball, his pass to Ralph resulting in the goal which levelled it at 5-5.
The all-action fourth chukka saw Van Reenen working all over the field and deservedly scoring the goal which took BHC into the lead on 6-5.
Gardenvale won the ball from the throw-in, Taylor leaving the ball for Beim who raced towards the goal, but his shot was blocked by Jack Richardson.
The whistle signalled an undefended shot at goal which was taken by Beim and once more the scores were even. With the fourth chukka ending on 6-6, it went to extra-time.
The throw-in saw Harper come away with the ball, but, hassled by Van Reenan, it went out over the boards. When the ball was rolled in Ralph Richardson gave Van Reenan the chance to earn victory to Sheikh at 7-6.
The cup and prizes were presented by Stephen Biddlecombe of Equine Management Ltd, owners of Gel-Eze. The award for Best Playing Pony went to Sapphire owned and ridden by Jack Richardson.
Dirkie Van Reenan was named Most Valuable Player and was presented leather polo boots.
Meanwhile, the eight-goal Owen Kenny Brecknock Cup was entered by five teams with Maiz Dulce and The Import House making it through to the final.
With Peter Barfoot still hospitalised through injury, his team comprised Marcus Cork at No1, Matt Pits at two, Terence Lent at three and five-goaler Glenn Sherriff taking Barfoot’s usual position at back.
Justin MacRae’s Import House team comprised Tom Townsend (no goals) at two, George Meyrick (six goals) at three, Alan Kent (two goals) at back with the patron No1.
Maiz Dulce won the first throw-in and in less than 30 seconds Pitts lofted a massive shot through the posts for 1-0. A lovely steal from Kent by Sheriff saw the Maiz Dulce captain race away with the ball the whole length of the pitch to make it 2-0.
Sherriff’s next attempt at goal, from a 60-yard penalty, went wide and although there was plenty of action although there were no further goals in the chukka.
Good support by Lent in the second chukka enabled Sherriff to whizz the ball between the posts for Maiz Dulce’s third.
Chukka three started with a hit-in from the back line by Meyrick. Kent lost the ball to Sherriff who sent a lovely backhand to Pitts, the team being rewarded with their fourth goal.
Granted a spot hit, Meyrick sent forward a big shot towards the goal which Kent tapped the final few yards for The Import House’s first mark on the scoreboard.
It wasn’t long before a penalty was given against The Import House and Sherriff struck the ball from 30 yards straight between the posts for a lead of 5-1.
Meyrick and Kent worked hard to stop the seemingly unstoppable Maiz Dulce but the yellow shirts were awarded a safety and Sherriff lofted a huge shot through the posts for 6-1 to close chukka 3.
Young Lent won the throw-in which started chukka four but lost the ball to Townsend. Meyrick got his stick to it but was stopped by Sherriff.
Townsend intervened once more but suddenly Lent grabbed the ball and whizzed a brilliant under the neck shot through the posts for 7-1.
Meyrick won the ball from the throw-in and despite hassling from Lent managed to score goal number two for The Import House. Another attempt at goal by Meyrick failed but the action grew even hotter. The whistle blew against Maiz Dulce and The Import House were awarded a 5b.
Meyrick tapped the ball forward and then sent a big shot down the middle. Alan Kent was waiting and dribbled the ball around the opposition to pull another one back for The Import House.
The team simply didn’t give up and were rewarded when Townsend grabbed the ball from Sherriff to make his first goal. But time had run out for Justin MacRae’s side. Maiz Dulce had won the Owen Kenny Brecknock on a score of 7-4.
The cup and prizes were presented by Emily Allchurch and David Small of The Owen Kenny Partnership. They also presented the award for Best Playing Pony to Lola, owned and ridden by Meyrick.
In the subsidiary final of the Owen Kenny Brecknock Cup, GCN ran out the winners 9½-4 against Nipas.
To complete the 1921 Cup, abandoned when club chairman Barfoot was seriously injured in July, an extra chukka added on to the semi-finals of the Owen Kenny Brecknock Cup played between Sea Breeze and Maiz Dulce saw Ray and Wilf Fine’s Sea Breeze claim victory 5-4.

Chichester athletes happy with track and field finale
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Chichester finished their senior track and field campaign with a hard-fought runners-up spot at a blustery Worthing track.
With a mixture of improving juniors, seniors and veterans, the club gave a good account of themselves to finish in front of Bournemouth and a combined Andover and Overton team and were beaten only by hosts Worthing.
Meagher volunteered to run the 3,000m steeplechase and after playing a waiting game for the first seven laps, he managed to produce an impressive turn of speed over the final 200m to make it four wins out of four.
Even missing a number of regulars, Chichester dominated the track events and recorded ten firsts and two second places from the 12 events, from the 100m to the 5,000m.
In the men’s match Charlie Roe finished a close second in the 100m in a new personal best of 11.1sec and went on to show the rest of the competitors a clean pair of heels in both 200m and 400m, where he was supported well by Isaac Kilroy and Brandon Bell in the B string races.
Ben Collins usually likes a fast pace in the 800m but on this occasion was content to stay in the pack battling the gale-force wind down the back straight.
The tactics proved spot on as he raced away from the field in the finishing straight, a race plan he repeated in the 1,500m with the same result.
In both races, Conrad Meagher provided excellent back-up in winning the B strings and took up the A-string mantle in the 5,000ms in the absence of James Baker, still not fully recovered from an injury sustained earlier in the season.
As if this was not enough, Meagher volunteered to run the 3,000m steeplechase and after playing a waiting game for the first seven laps, he managed to produce an impressive turn of speed over the final 200m to make it four wins out of four.
He become only the second Chichester athlete, after Baker, to achieve this feat in a league match over the four middle distance events.
In the field events, Chichester’s trio of Phil Kearney and veterans Tim Brown and Andy Hall were up against the talented Evans twins from Worthing but were comfortably ahead of the rest of the athletes in the throws.
A disappointment for Brown and Hall was the enforced cancellation of the hammer event as the new netting did not meet the stringent safety standards for the event.
Kearney had a busy afternoon with good marks in 400m hurdles, high jump, pole vault and javelin. In his second match for the club, newcomer Alex Ioan was again on good form in the long and triple jumps.
There was a similar story in the women’s section of the match with Alyssa White stamping her authority in the sprints and winning both by a clear margin and posting good times in the process including a quick 12.2 in the 100m.
Grace Wills battled well into the teeth of the wind for a convincing win in the 800m and was equally as impressive in the 400m, showing impressive sustained speed to leave her rivals training.
Middle-distance and road-running specialist Emily Moore tried hard to stay with veteran international Caroline Hoyte in the 3,000m but had to let her rival go clear in the second half of the race to bag the runners-up spot.
This did not prevent Moore from returning later in the match to notch up Chichester’s tenth track win of the day in the 1,500m.
There was good support for White in the sprints from Isabell Cooper in the 100m then White, Cooper and Roberta Collyer combined to score good points in both high jump and long jump.
The throws were well covered by a new combination with one of the pair making her first appearance for some 16 years.
Jenny Lyne, who was competing under her maiden name of Phillips back in 1999 and 2000, came into athletics from rugby, having reached the pinnacle of the sport with appearances in two world cups.
Persuaded to come out of retirement for athletics because of to the involvement of her two sons in Chichester’s junior section, Lyne provided a more than useful contribution in shot, discus and javelin.
She was joined by under-20 javelin thrower Lauren Cooper, who retained her unbeaten run in her favoured event and combined well with Lyne in shot and discus to keep the scoreboard moving and play a part in Chichester’s comfortable team second place on the day.

Top tennis talent on show at Chichester finals
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Chichester Racquets & Fitness Club staged their annual closed senior and junior tennis championships.
The tournament ran over five weeks and on finals day, the sun broke through.
Katica Robertson, playing in the first of her three finals, faced Amy Wright and won 6-2, 6-1 – a record 12th time she has won the ladies’ singles championship. The first was in 1990.
Mini-orange (nine and under) members played their tournament on the KidsZone courts. Fred Whitby retained his title with Alexander Renney taking silver and Diego Savage-Melendez bronze.
The ten-and-under mixed singles green event saw third place and the bronze medal go to Ross Wilson, with Joseph Robinson taking silver and Whitby the winner.
The 12 and under boys’ title decider, played on the clay courts in front of a packed balcony, was won by Thomas Bisatt against James Pollard.
The two girls’ events were won by Kitty Whitby.
The first senior titles contested were the men’s singles plate and ladies’ singles plate, with James Youell and Catherine Hutchin winning them.
The men’s singles attracted a high number of entries as Sam Kilhams (No1 seed) tried to defend his title and equal the record number of eight titles.
The final brought together Kilhams and No2 seed Peter Cook, both of whom are Chichester Tennis Academy coaches.
Kilhams was resolute in his aim to retain his crown and equal Chris Nicholls’ record of eight club singles titles. He displayed talent, strength and determination to dominate and win in two sets.
Katica Robertson, playing in the first of her three finals, faced Amy Wright and won 6-2, 6-1 – a record 12th time she has won the ladies’ singles championship. The first was in 1990.
Mat Worden and Kilhams played the men’s doubles final against the experienced No2 seeds Justin Pollard and Chris Nicholls, who last won the event in 2011 and won their first of 15 in 1992.
Worden and Kilhams first won the title in 2012 and the defending champions quickly took control. Despite a gallant effort by Pollard and Nicholls, the younger pair proved too good and Worden and Kilhams took the title in straight sets.
Robertson and Amy Wright returned to the clay courts for the ladies’ doubles. Robertson partnered Sue Foott and Ileana Melendez-Ruiz paired up with Wright.
No1 seeds Foott and Robertson stormed to a 6-0 win in the first set. Melendez-Ruiz and Wright took two games in the second but eventually were overpowered in straight sets.
The final match was the mixed doubles between two very proficient doubles teams – No1 seeds Mat and Molly Worden and No2 seeds Justin Pollard and Katica Robertson.
Pollard and Robertson took the first set 6-3 in 35 minutes and confidently forged a 5-1 lead in the second. The match, however, suddenly took a dramatic turn and the young pair won the next six games to snatch the set 7-5.
It was decided with a championship tie-break which the Wordens won 10-2 for their first championship title.
Other results: Ladies’ doubles plate - Jill Street & Debbie Draper beat Amanda Boyce & Sara Smyth; Mixed Doubles Plate - Penny Winterflood & Tig Carvalho beat Janet Briggs & Tim Bradford; Men’s Doubles Plate - Nigel Marks & Mark Chapman beat Mike Bac & Rory Cavanagh; Boys’ 14 &U - Noah Burton beat David Bisatt.

Boggy problem solved at Petworth nature reserve
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Visitors to Burton and Chingford Ponds Nature Reserve can now enjoy close-up views of wildlife, thanks to the completion of a £25,000 project.
Boggy problems at the Sussex Wildlife Trust nature reserve, three miles south of Petworth, have been resolved by replacing a damaged boardwalk.
The project to make the reserve a more accessible, vibrant habitat for all to enjoy was led by the trust and carried out by volunteers.
The boardwalk, which crosses the Black Hole bog, is now sturdier and has a safety rail.
Paths and the habitat around it have been improved, with bracken and rhododendron controlled to allow heathland plants to flourish and help restore an important heathland habitat.
Jane Willmott, Sussex Wildlife Trust reserve officer, said: “We are so pleased with the results of this project.
“The bog bean and dragonflies are already responding to the work and I am looking forward to seeing how the scrapes develop. I have had lots of positive comments about the new boardwalk, too.”
Sussex Wildlife Trust volunteers, including the Youth Rangers, aged 16 to 25 years, helped with various aspects of the project, giving them the opportunity to learn valuable conservation and wildlife identification skills.
The boardwalk was over 15 years old and, despite volunteers’ best efforts, it was slowly disintegrating and sinking into the bog.
Overgrown vegetation from wet areas of the bog was removed to improve its potential as a home for a variety of plant species, such as bog bean and marsh cinqfoil, and a host of insect species, including dragonflies.
On dry, heathy areas of the reserve, turf has been removed to create shallow depressions, or ‘scrapes’, of exposed sandy soil which will benefit jewel wasps and field crickets.
Burton and Chingford Ponds Nature Reserve is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and comprises an array of habitats, including ponds, bogs, heathland and woodland, with a nature trail winding through. It receives more than 20,000 visits from people of all ages every year.
The project was supported by the Veolia Environmental Trust, which awarded a grant of £23,750 through the Landfill Communities Fund.
Paul Taylor, executive director, said: “We support community and environmental projects across England and Wales. It is always great to hear about the finish of one we have supported.
“This one will bring many benefits for the reserve, the species found there, and its visitors. It has also given young volunteers a chance to develop new skills, and they need to be thanked for their hard work and contribution.”

The suspected murder of a teenager has been reported to the body that oversees complaints against the police, Sussex Police has said.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission was notified by Sussex Police following the discovery of the 19-year-old woman’s body at an address in Chrisdory Road, Mile Oak yesterday.
Sussex Police said: “The death has been notified to the IPCC owing to there having been previous police contact with the deceased and other people.
“Her family have been informed of this development. We await the IPCC’s decision as to how any internal investigation will be conducted.”
As previously reported, a 27-year-old man from Portslade was arrested in Burgess Hill yesterday on suspicion of murder after the body was found. Click here for the full story.
Police added that a post-mortem is expected to take place in Brighton later today, and that the address is still a crime scene as forensic work continues.
They are not formally identifying the dead woman at this stage but said they will do so as soon as possible.

Amazon Dash lets you order your loo roll at the touch of a button
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
For anyone who has found the whole process of internet shopping too much like hard work Amazon has come up with a solution.
The online retailer today revealed that it is introducing its Amazon Dash Buttons to the UK.
The dinky little gadgets are a one-touch way to order a host of popular products without all that complicated rigmarole of actually logging onto your Amazon account and searching for them.
The Dash Buttons are literally that, small plastic boxes housing a button, which when pressed will connect via wi-fi to your Amazon account and using one-click buying order your selected products.
Each button is linked to a particular item and there are 40 brands available from launch so you can get everything from cat food to condoms and nappies to NERF ammunition delivered to your door.
Daniel Rausch, director of Amazon Dash, explained the thinking behind the devices: “We’ve all experienced the frustration of running out of something we need - Dash Button and Dash Replenishment Service are designed to make that moment a thing of the past.
“Dash Buttons offer the convenience of one-click shopping from anywhere in the home - they can be placed near those frequently used items you don’t want to run out of, and when you see supplies running low, the Dash Button makes it easier than ever to order more. Just press the button and your item is on its way.”
The £4.99 devices are only available to Amazon Prime customers, which means you’ll have to sign up to the £79-a-year service to enjoy the Dash Button’s convenience. The good news is that you’ll get £4.99 back off your first order of each product.
Alongside the buttons, Amazon also announced the UK rollout of its Dash Replenishment Service.
Like the button this links to your Amazon account but rather than having to do the ordering yourself it allows connected smart devices to order supplies themselves.
This means the likes of washing machines, dishwashers and printers from big-name brands including Bosch, Samsung, Whirlpool and Siemens can monitor your consumables usage and order more before you run out.
If they could just design a button that remotely loads the dishwasher too, they could be onto a winner.

Defender’s out to build Pompey momentum
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Tom Davies is hungry for a Yeovil run out.
The Pompey defender wants to build on the momentum created by his first league start tonight in the Checkatrade Trophy.
Paul Cook is expected to ring the changes at Huish Park for the southern group stage fixture.
The competition rules state a club must pick six of 11 players who started the side’s previous or ensuing fixture.
Alternatively, a manager can select six of his top 11 appearance makers from domestic league and cup competitions.
The competition is clearly low on Pompey’s priorities – but it’s a clash Davies, 24, is keen to feature in.
He said: ‘There’s a game against Yeovil now and it would be nice to keep the momentum going.
‘We all know the main focus is the league.
‘We’ve got a couple of home games coming up now.
‘We need to keep the wins coming and keep the clean sheets coming.
‘Every player likes to play and, of course I want to.
‘It would be nice to keep the momentum going from a personal point of view, too.
‘But that’s not my decision to make and that’s why the gaffer and coaching staff are paid to do their jobs.
‘If I get the call I’ll play and I’ll be to keen to play.
‘That should be the case for any of the lads.’
The appearance at Exeter was Davies’ second in Pompey colours following his summer arrival from Accrington Stanley.
A back injury slowed his progress but he is confident that issue is now behind him.
He said: ‘It was tough for me in pre-season getting the back injury.
‘Hopefully now I’ve got my feet under the table a bit more.
‘I feel a bit more relaxed in the company of the players on the pitch.
‘It maybe was a bit too much running during pre-season which I wasn’t used to.
‘I worked with the physios to keep it at bay. It’s behind me now, though.
‘Now I’m champing at the bit to play. It’s out of my mind and I want to kick on and stay in the team.’

County championship: Sussex and Glamorgan frustrated by weather
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Only 19.3 overs were bowled on the third day at the SSE Swalec because of rain and bad light, and when play was called off at 5pm Glamorgan had reached for 149 for 2 – an overall lead of 118.
With one day remaining, and Sussex hoping for a result that will challenge Essex at the top of Division 2, there is a possibility that the two captains Jacques Rudolph and Luke Wright, will agree on a target that Sussex could chase in the final innings.
We need to win games, especially after Essex’s performance against Leicestershire. Sussex coach Mark Davis
Essex’s win over Leicestershire puts them 44 points clear in the race for the one promotion spot.
Rudolph and Will Bragg had resumed on 50 for 1, and after striking three boundaries off Steve Magoffin, the Glamorgan captain was only three runs from his third fifty of the season when the Auatralian seamer got his revenge by trapping Rudolph leg before.
The second wicket pair had put on 67 for the second wicket, and when David Lloyd replaced Rudolph he was quickly off the mark with two boundaries off Jofra Archer. Magoffin, who had taken the two wickets, was Sussex’s most accurate bowler, and twice had confident lbw appeals turned down.
With Will Bragg playing watchfully at the other end, Lloyd continued to attack, and when George Garton replaced Archer, the left arm seamer was twice driven to the extra cover boundary by Lloyd.
The third wicket pair had put on 72, before the gloom descended and the umpires decided that the light was too bad for play to continue at 3pm.
Mark Davis, the Sussex coach was frustrated by the day’s events, especially after two good days’ cricket.
When asked about a possible arrangement between the two captains, Davis said “We haven’t looked into that yet, but we need to win games, especially after Essex’s performance against Leicestershire. We will see how things pan out in the morning, and take it from there.”

Two South Downs National Park projects have been shortlisted for an award.
The Arun and Rother Connections Project and Butterfly Conservation Sussex Branch have been selected in the final six, from 26 ‘excellent nominations’, by a judging panel.

A grant of £2,000 will be awarded to the winner of the Campaign for National Parks’ Park Protector Award, due to be announced in October.
The award aims to ‘recognise, rewards and celebrate exceptional projects that are making a lasting contribution to the protection, restoration or conservation of the National Parks of England and Wales’.
In a statement about the shortlist, the Arun and Rother Connections project volunteers were highlighted.
It said: “1.2 million people use the water that filters through the chalk of the South Downs on a daily basis.

“The Arun and Rother Connections project works with over 1,000 volunteers to run a diverse suite of activities which promote a rich, thriving river system, where wildlife flourishes and people value and enjoy the landscape.”
While the Butterfly Conservation Sussex Branch project was credited for ‘working tirelessly’ to increase the numbers of Duke of Burgundy butterflies.
This work has seen the numbers ‘rise exponentially’ from eight being spotted in Sussex in 2003, to 1,487 seen in 2016.
Caroline Quentin, the new Campaign for National Parks President, admitted learning about the ‘fantastic projects’ has been a ‘wonderful way’ to start her role.
She said: “These projects are the perfect demonstration of how much people care about National Parks and want to improve them for the future.”
Jeremy Colls, from the award’s sponsors Ramblers Holidays Charitable Trust, added: “The overriding message is the remarkable level of volunteer commitment that is evident among the groups taking part. Many people really do care about maintaining and improving our rural environment, and convert their passion into action to achieve tangible results.”

Firefighters tackle charity ladder climb challenge in central Chichester

www.chichester.co.uk

Fire personnel climbed the equivalent height of Everest on ladders last Saturday at the Assembly Rooms in North Street, Chichester.
Despite sweltering conditions, the team from West Sussex Fire and Rescue took just three hours and 34 minutes to rack up their target cumulative climb ‘height’ of 29,035ft.
Donations from the public for the challenge raised £1,450 for the Fire Fighters’ Charity, which assists serving and retired fire service personnel and their families in times of need.
Organisers Ian Sinfield and Darren Kilmister, from Chichester Fire Station, thanked NJS scaffolding, the Assembly Rooms and the public for their support.
Pictured is chief fire officer and acting executive director for communities and public protection Lee Neale, who joined part of the climb.

Revealed: The top UK companies for work-life balance
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A recruitment firm has been named the best company in the UK for work-life balance.
Financial recruiter Goodman Masson took first place in the list by jobs site Glassdoor, based on reviews submitted to its website by current and former staff.
The company, which is based in London and also has offices in Dusseldorf, was praised by staff for its “huge investment” in staff benefits and “great” parties twice a year.
“The attention paid to the wellbeing of staff is at a level rarely matched elsewhere,” said an anonymous employee working in the London office.
In second place was technology firm Cisco Systems, and in third place was insurer HomeServe.
West Midlands-based HomeServe, which employs 1,200 people at its headquarters in Walsall and has 2.1 million customers in the UK, was commended for its attitude towards the treatment of its staff.
“The salary is very competitive and you are rewarded very generously for your hard work and just for carrying out your role. The company has a great framework for career progression and is always looking to promote people internally for job roles,” said a water supply engineer working at the firm.
Greg Reed, chief marketing officer at HomeServe, said: “We believe if you take care of your people, they will take care of your customers. This means creating a culture where people genuinely enjoy coming to work every day because they feel what they do really makes a difference in our customers’ lives.”
Temping firm LOLA and Screwfix completed the top five. Other companies in the top 20 included Apple, American Express Lloyds Banking Group, Unilever and John Lewis.
Google is known for its plush offices, but doesn’t make the top 20 companies for work-life balance. Its new London office has sleep pods so workers can take a nap, although perhaps this is an indication of long hours.
For a company to have been considered, at least 50 work-life balance ratings must have been submitted by UK-based employees in the past year.
The top 20 companies for work-life balance:
1. Goodman Masson
2. Cisco Systems
3. HomeServe UK
4. LOLA Staffing
5. Screwfix
6. American Express
7. BP
8. Peninsula Business Services
9. ARM Holdings

GCSE results: Bishop Luffa proves ‘hard work pays off’
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Bishop Luffa expressed its delight with ‘impressive results’ as GCSE grades were unveiled today, August 25.
Head teacher Nick Taunt said; “Pupils have done very well this year,
Ben Morton, a student at Bishop Luffa
“These are not easy exams, and pupils have worked incredibly hard. Of course, it’s not just about top grades. It’s also about the progress they have made. I am pleased that over 4/5ths of our pupils made at least expected progress in English and maths, and over half have exceeded expectations.
“Whatever their academic ability, they all thoroughly deserve their grades.”
Overall, 80 per cent of pupils gained at least five GCSE A*-C grades including English and maths with more than a third of all entries were awarded A* or A grades. 47 pupils gained at least eight A*-A grades.
Some 33 Year 11 pupils also took AS Theology a year early. With a 100 per cent pass rate, 18 pupils gained A grades.
Andy Jackson, Head of Key Stage 4 said, “Pupils worked extremely hard across the wide ability range. Several have overcome considerable difficulties to get great results.”
Mr Taunt added, “As a school we enjoy working with young people. And it is also a great pleasure being part of a team of dedicated teachers and support staff: their excellent teaching and support has been unstinting. Pupils have also benefited from their parents’ support for their children and the school.”

New audiobook on how to leave the booze behind...
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

It’s summer, the weather is glorious sometimes, the booze is flowing, but for many of us it flows a little too easily…
Selsey author Julian Kirkman-Page offers the perfect answer with the new audiobook version of his guide to life after alcohol.
Summer might just be the time to consider cutting down our alcohol intake, or even quitting forever. So what is life like after alcohol and could you cope?
To celebrate the audiobook version of his successful guide to deciding to quit alcohol, Julian Kirkman-Page is giving away ten copies free. All you have to do is visit www.idontdrink.net and say what your favourite non-alcoholic drink is to be entered into the prize draw.
“This book is aimed firmly at the drinker who probably knows they need to quit, but who doesn’t want to, because they can’t imagine life without alcohol.
“So how difficult is life like without alcohol? Is it even worth considering? And could you cope?”
In January, Julian, author of book I Don’t Drink – how to quit alcohol launched his new book aimed at the drinker who needs to cut down or quit drinking but doesn’t want to.
Julian said: “I never wanted to quit alcohol. I hated the very thought of stopping drinking, but deep inside I knew I had to so I did, and I can’t believe how easy it turned out to be. Despite whatever temptation comes my way, I don’t miss alcohol at all, and stopping drinking has made an incredible difference to my life and the lives of my family. For one thing, I know for a fact I would be dead by now if I were still a drinker!”
The audiobook version has been narrated and produced by Jim Cassidy.
Julian said: “I wanted a professional reader who could couple the comic aspects of the tales in the book with the seriousness of the subject matter. Living without alcohol is not boring but it is life-changing, and I wanted my narrator to be able to stress that. Jim has done a fantastic job and his soft Scots accent will appeal to everyone.”
In December 2012, Julian quit alcohol after having been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, having already watched both his mother and elder brother die from liver failure and seriously expecting to be dead himself by age 56. Now three and a half years later, Julian’s diabetes has been resolved, he has never been so fit or healthy, he has revolutionised his life and he firmly expects to live a full and rewarding life well into his 90s, and all because he quit alcohol.
“But I didn’t want to, and if you don’t really want to either but you know you should – listen to this book!”
One Less for the Road is available as both an e-book, paperback and audiobook from Amazon or via the website www.idontdrink.net.

Byrne leaves more of a mark than Staines
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
New striker Thomas Byrne scored on his home debut and Dylan Barnett punished Staines with his first Bognor goal late on to give the Rocks their first win of the season as they defeated Staines 2-0.
Bognor’s first three-point haul lifted them up to 11th in the Ryman premier table as Johnson Hippolyte’s Staines suffered their second loss in the opening four games
The only change for the Rocks saw Sami El-Abd replace Gary Charman in central defence alongside Chad Field.
Kane Haysman sped through in the first minute for the visitors but struck wide of the post.
On four minutes, Barnett ran on to a pass and got a cross in. Byrne got a head on it and the ball only just bounced wide.
Field went to ground on nine minutes with what appeared to be a muscle strain and the phyiso was called into action, allowing both teams to have a brief drinks break. Field was replaced by Charman.
Byrne redeemed himself by scoring the opener on 30 minutes. A long ball over the defence saw him speed through and shoot low underneath Turner, who got something on it as it spun along the ground and into the net.
A long ball over the top allowed Jefferson Louis to get into the area. His low shot from an angle was deflected off the line by Ed Sanders.
El-Abd won a free-kick in a good position on the left. Ollie Pearce’s swerving kick saw El-Abd in the mix but goalkeeper Jack Turner got there first.
Max Worsfold’s free-kick following an El-Abd push found Daniel Brown but he skied his header on 21 minutes.
Bognor won a penalty on 27 minutes as Barnett’s cross ricocheted onto the hand of a defender in the area.
Up stepped Byrne, who struck it high, but the goalkeeper saved it. Byrne glanced a header wide from a corner by Pearce moments later.
Pearce slid a low shot wide soon after as Bognor tried to make their pressure count.
Byrne redeemed himself by scoring the opener on 30 minutes. A long ball over the defence saw him speed through and shoot low underneath Turner, who got something on it as it spun along the ground and into the net.
Then Barnett’s ball in from the left was only partially cleared by Darnell Smith as Doug Tuck slammed it on the volley over the bar.
Louis smashed a shot wide with Staines enjoying a lot of possession before half-time.
HT 1-0
Sanders’ long cross from the right was well stopped by Turner on 50 minutes.
De’Reece Vanderhyde’s long throw deep into the box had to be punched clear by Billy Granger and then Worsfold blasted a rising shot over the bar.
Barnett’s cross found Byrne on the back post and he knocked it just wide from close range. Then James Fraser went in the book after he appeared to have a difference of opinion with the referee.
Haysman’s strike brought out a fine save from Granger down to his left and Charman was there to slide in and clear at the crucial moment on 60 minutes.
Granger had to palm a corner away above the bodies in the box and repeated the trick soon after.
Bognor sprung on the counter-attack with Fraser, and he found Pearce on the right and his cross was cleared by the defence. Byrne went down after trying to win it but the claims for a penalty were ignored.
Pearce’s free-kick bounced awkwardly in the area with El-Abd lurking – but Staines were also a threat going forward.
The Rocks replaced Byrne with Jimmy Wild on 70 minutes.
Louis capitalised on a Granger spillage to shoot low and it was Charman, again the saviour, who cleared off the line.
Wild latched on to a Barnett knock-on following a right-sided cross by Pearce. Wild’s header forced a diving save by Turner, who turned the ball on to the post and out.
Tyrell Miller Rodney sent a header well wide on 79 minutes following a neat cross by Mohamed Bettamer.
A fast counter attack by Bognor saw Fraser combine with Barnett, who cut inside and blasted wide of the post.
Jimmy Muitt came on for his Rocks debut in place of the hard-working Fraser on 82 minutes.
Pearce’s right-sided corner found El-Abd on his own in the box but his header bounced over.
Pearce cut inside again on the right on 85 minutes and his cross was looking for Wild but he couldn’t quite get anything on it.
Jonathan Hippolyte’s instant strike from a cross was pushed away by Granger on 88 minutes in a nervy moment as Rocks failed to clear their lines.
Five minutes were added on as Bognor continued to battle. A good move down the right saw Muitt find Wild but somehow his attempt went wide from inside the box.
Bognor kept going to the end and scored again seven minutes into stoppage. A move on the right by Muitt found Wild and he squared to Barnett – and his run inside saw him smack the ball low into the net from the edge of the box.
The Rocks had secured a crucial three points and will hope for a similar result away to Billericay Town this Saturday (3pm kick-off). Next at Nyewood Lane are old foes Worthing next Monday (3pm).
Rocks: Granger, Sanders, Crane, Tuck, Field (Charman 10), El-Abd, Fraser (Muitt 82), Beck (c), Byrne (Wild 70), Pearce, Barnett. Unused subs: Budd, Wollers.

Golfers sharing out the silver at Selsey
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Selsey golfers have been able to play plenty of matches over the summer and some great results have been achieved.
The Godding Bowl and Tom Keep Cup both see players picking their own partners.
Conditions proved testing, with a strong wind not helpful and the greens proving as difficult as ever.
The Godding Bowl was won by Rita and David Green and the runners-up were Brian Chamberland and Beverley Guest. The Tom Keep was won by Sue Bligh and Craig Newman; runners-up were Teddy and Peter Senft.
The third mixed competition was between the veterans and the ladies for the Silver Gauntlet. The lady Ccaptain has to swipe the silver gauntlet round the veterans’ captain’s face (only gently!) then throw the gauntlet down to start the challenge.
This year it was won by the veterans.
The lady captain congratulated the vets but vowed the ladies would do better next year.
Selsey veterans had their presentation day, starting with a 14-hole competition. There were 40 members on the course which was in very good condition and the greens ran quite fast.
Afterwards the presentations took place in the clubhouse and many members received their bottles of spirit or wine for earlier competitions.
The Arthur Powis Cup was presented by Eddie Williamson, daughter of Arthur, and veterans’ captain Peter Senft to winner John Mustoe.
The Eddie McGhee Trophy was presented by Eddie’s widow Sylvia to ohn Williamson.
Flowers were presented to the ladies by the vets’ captain while the monthly medal glass was presented by the vets’ captain Peter Senft to winner Terry Chapman.
COWDRAY PARK
Cowdray seniors’ August Stableford marked the return to competitive action of captain Derek Smith following a serious spinal operation.
Conditions proved testing, with a strong wind not helpful and the greens proving as difficult as ever. There were many good players recording disappointing scores.
Best score of the day came in division one from Bill Birnie, who returned an outstanding score of 41 points. Long-time leader John Hall finished second with 39, from Dave Balfour on 38.
In division two Dave Darby kept up his recent good form to win with 39 points, having gone out in the second group, alongside John Renwick, who finished third on countback with 38, pipped for second place by Alistair Proctor.
Five players recorded twos in division one, including Howard Morley, who scored two, on the 11th and 17th.
Five recorded twos in division two, including Arthur Mayson, who, only a week before, had scored a hole-in-one on the ninth hole, the same hole he scored his two.
Leading scores: Div 1 - 41 Bill Birnie; 39 John Hall; 38 Dave Balfour; 37 Pat Harrison; 36 Chris Hutchings. Div 2 - 39 Dave Darby; 38 Alistair Proctor, John Renwick; 37 David Tulip, Barry Overington; 36 Bernie May. Twos - D1 Terry Adsett (11), Peter Hallt (3),Howard Morley (11&17), Mike Briant (11). D2 - Rob Doney (11), Arthur Mayson (9), Rob Knight (17), Dave Darby (9), John Renwick (9).
Cowdray seniors travelled to Worthing to face one of the strongest teams in Sussex, who had lost 5-3 at Cowdray earlier in the season.
The five matches teeing off at the first, bar one which was halved, went to the hosts. The remaining three matches teeing off at the 17th were won by the visitors.
After Worthing had taken a 4-0 lead, Trevor Edwards and David Wickham arrested the flow with a half – before the pairs teeing off at the 17th turned things round.
Good friends Brian Brockhurst and Dave Darby edged home by one up, Chris Hutchings and Mark Kelly had a comfortable win by 3&2, before Mike Briant and Mike Cardiff closed out with a one-up win, to make the final score 4½-3½ to Worthing.
Cowdray can console themselves with the fact that, over the two legs, they came out on top by 8½-7½.
Results (Cowdray names first): Sam Howes & Peter Hallt lost to Ian McDonald & Bob Dargan 3&2; Ian Heustice & Barry Overington lost to Ron Turner & Alec Price 4&2; Colin West & George Crouch lost to Mike Hall & Gordon Harrison 5&3; Chris Hoare & Colin Tebbutt lost to Brian Quaife & John Wood 3&1; Trevor Edwards & David Wickham halved with Ricky Cannons & Neil Bowen; Brian Brockhurst & Dave Darby beat Mike Hyatt & Mike Smith 1 up; Mark Kelly & Chris Hutchings beat Ron Simcock & Mike Machin 3&2; Mike Briant & Mike Cardiff beat Phil Gobeil & Maurice Huggett 1 up.
Bramley have proved a thorn in the side of Cowdray Park teams over the years, but this year Cowdray had a fine 6½-1½ home win before losing this return 4½-3½.
The first match, featuring both team captains, ended in an honourable half. The teams were level after 12 holes, but the hosts won the next three holes. Cowdray’s pair of Roger Poat and Rodney Fisher dug in and fought back winning the 16th courtesy of a 60ft putt from Poat.
A par was sufficient to win the 17th, before the comeback was completed on the 18th by Fisher, using his long-handled putter to good effect from off the green to secure the half.
A narrow defeat followed before Chris Hutchings and Rob Doney overcame former Surrey vets’ captain Mike Whitaker and Bruce Holton 2&1.
Mike Holden and Jon Fife gave Cowdray the lead with a 4&3 win before Bramley levelled by the same margin. Mike Cardiff and Philip Singer edged home by one up before the hosts levelled the scores again. Bramley took the final match to clinch the match.
Results: Roger Poat & Rodney Fisher halved; David Wickham & Dave Fowler lost 2&1; Chris Hutchings & Rob Doney won 2&1; Mike Holden & Jon Fife won 4&3; Wally Mitchell lost 4&3; Mike Cardiff & Philip Singer won 1 up; Terry Adsett & Colin West lost 1 down; Richard Burden & Clive Brine lost 4&2.
Teeing off in a regular roll-up, Cowdray seniors 28-handicapper Arthur Mayson scored a hole-in-one on the ninth, his first-ever ace.
His joy was tempered as he did not see the ball enter the hole. When he arrived at the green he thought his ball had run off the back.
Not content with that, he scored a two on the same hole a week later in the monthly Stableford.
Cowdray seniors held their annual invitation, whereby a member invites a guest for the day.
Thanks to the efforts of organiser Pat Harrison, a full field off 40 pairs gathered. It was a superb day weather-wise, with temperatures in the mid-20s and the course in impeccable condition, although a number of players still found the greens difficult.
The players were sent on their way by David Wickham and Mike Hughes, with the format a better-ball Stableford.
Winners on countback with a superb score of 43 points were Cowdray’s top senior Dave Hirons and his guest Bill Houlton from Bognor, beating Cowdray’s Alan Godfree and Mike Vansittart (Worthing).
Four pairs were tied on 42 points, with third place going to Paul Owen and Jeff Harper (Ferndown), fourth Bill Hummerston and Steve Lewis (Goodwood) and fifth Dave Balfour and A Matthews (Burhill). Chris Hoare and Jim Jewell (Slinfold) just missed out on a prize.
Nearest the pin on the ninth was local member Tony Sapsworth, on the 17th it was John Buchanan (Littlehampton) and the 16th in two, Cowdray’s John Hall.
After a buffet, seniors’ captain Derek Smith thanked organiser Pat Harrison for his hard work in making the event such a success, Pat’s wife Sheila who ran the raffle and Tessa Stockwell, Solveig Burton and Margaret Curwood from the ladies’ section, who acted as receptionists and assimilated the scorecards.
The raffle raised £375 for Chestnut Tree children’s hospice.
Twelve Cowdray ladies bravely set off in hot sunshine to play 36 holes, battling for the title of 2016 club champion.
This year the field included Lille-Beau Thorpe, a 11-year-old junior member. After the first 18 holes, she came in as joint leader with Wendy Street, both with gross 83 (nett 71) and three shots ahead of nearest rival Sue Brown, who shot a very respectable 86.
After a light lunch and a little shade, the second 18 saw Lille-Beau consolidate her lead with a gross 85 (73) while Wendy dropped back to a gross 91 (79).
Jill Parry took second place with a gross 90 with Wendy and Solveig Burton both shooting gross 91. Tea and presentations followed and Lille-Beau took the Munro Trophy with Wendy taking the runners-up salver. Sue won the Curwood Salver for nett rounds of 74 and 81. Lille-Beau is thought to be Cowdray’s youngest-ever female club champion.
Stableford results: Div 1 winner Gaynor Dudman 30pts; Div 2 winner Jo Fife 36; Div 3 winner Pat White 31.
BOGNOR
More than 90 men played in the Crouch Cup. Club captain Chris Hickling won with an amazing 44 points, earning a two-shot handicap reduction.
Mick Garrigan was second with an excellent 40 points, normally enough to win. In third was Rob Kissell with 39.
Bognor’s Kindred Cup team won 3-2 at home to Stoneham Golf Club. They rogress to the finals at Lee-on-the-Solent GC in Hampshire for the second year running.
Bognor seniors made the short trip to neighbours Chichester GC. On a glorious day for golf, Chichester ran out 5½-2½ winners.
The opening match involving the two senior captains, Jim Robertson of Chichester and Jim Catt of Bognor, with their respective partners, was even until the last three holes when the Bognor pair managed two birdies and a par to edge a 2&1 win. Bognor won and halved the next two pairs but Chichester took the remaining five pairs to claim the match.
Results: (Bognor names first) Jim Catt & Mike Oates beat Jim Robertson & Nick Hobbs 2 and 1, Alan Fitzgerald & Tony Wells halved with Richard Holden, Alan Delves & John Chapman beat Mike Hunter & Gordon Williams 2 and 1, Peter Bell & Ray Leggett lost 3 and 1 to George Bell & Campbell Goldsmith, Clive Millett & Chris Hickling lost 7 and 6 to Bruce Santer & Nigel Wood, Bryan Madgwick & David Tirner lost 7 and 6 to Chris Penny & Micky Mould, Mike Matthews & Ken Catt lost 2 and 1 to Norman Moore & Peter Green, Steve King & Hugh Diaper lost 2 and 1 to Phil Mitchell & Bill Dunstone
Bognor seniors played two homes games in quick succession. The first was halved 3½-3½ with Selsey before Bognor beat Ifield 4-3.

Chichester High School pupils ‘delighted’ with top GCSE results
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Students at Chichester High School were celebrating in the sunshine after receiving their GCSE results.
Teachers and staff spoke of their pride at seeing the students reap the benefits of their hard work and go onto college and sixth form.
Students continued to achieve highly in English and maths with 65% of girls and 55% of boys achieving top grades in both. Sixteen-year-old Tom Hodgson gained four A*s and five As.
He said: “I’m really happy, absolutely delighted.
I plan to go on to sixth form to study music, maths, ancient history and geography. I play drums and percussion.”
Amy Rock, 16, received 12 A*s and one A. She said: “I am really proud of myself, absolutely elated. I put in so much effort.
“I’m planning to study geography, chemistry and biology at sixth form. I will also be doing the extended project.”
Both Tom and Amy are from Kingsham School.
Jonathan Smith was very pleased with his A in catering, while Georgina Burgoyne Morris, Megan Geall, and Anna Taylor planned to celebrate their top results with a picnic.
Georgina said: “I’m really happy, ecstatic. I’m now planning to study maths, chemistry, physics and government and politics at sixth form.”

Altogether, the school reported a positive Progress 8 score, with around 30 pupils achieving a whole string of top grades.
For many students leaving this year, good grades will be a gateway to further education.
Harry Coppin, the school’s head boy, said: “It’s really positive - I’ve glad to have got into sixth form!”
Joe Allison, 16, said: “I’m very happy with the results - I’m going on to Seaford College to study business, economics and English.”
Head of the school, Mrs McEwan, said it was a ‘privilege’ to see the results of pupil’s hard work.
Executive headteacher Yasmin Maskatiya added: “We are all so excited for the young people who have worked very hard to achieve these results.
“It has been a pleasure teaching them over the past few years and we look forward to their continued success in the Sixth Form. “Thank you to their teachers and parents for all their support and guidance.
“These results combined with the very satisfying A-Level achievement this year means that we have a really positive and encouraging start to the new Chichester High School in September.”

COUNTY NEWS: Disposable barbecue warning after rubbish tip fire
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A disposable barbecue may have started a fire that temporarily closed a Sussex rubbish tip last week.
The incident happened last Friday evening (August 26) at the Hop Oast site near Horsham and was thought to have started in a metal container due to a disposable BBQ igniting material on a camping chair.
After using disposable barbecues, residents are being advised to not throw away the charcoal until it is completely cool.
David Barling, West Sussex County Council’s cabinet member for residents’ Services, said: “Thankfully this fire was contained, disruption to normal services was minimal and on this occasion no-one was hurt.
“This incident serves as a reminder to take care when using disposable BBQs.
“Always make sure the charcoal is completely cool before disposing of it, which might take several hours. It is not worth the risk.”
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service declared the Horsham Household Waste Recycling Site safe to the public later on Friday evening.
Mr Barling added: “If you have any doubts about safely disposing your barbecue you can speak with a member of staff at your local Household Waste Recycling Site.”

Ian Christie offers a new perspective on Tarkovsky
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Ian Christie will be challenging perceptions of the great Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky 30 years after his death.
The Chichester International Film Festival at the New Park Cinema will be offering a Tarkovsky retrospective during which Ian will give a talk on the man and his work (Saturday, August 27, 4pm).
“I defer to no one in my admiration of the man, but I do think we must take him off a pedestal and have a more rounded view of him.
“I have been involved in Tarkovsky’s work for a long time really in different ways. I interviewed him on his first-ever visit out of the Soviet Union in the early 80s. It was a strange encounter. He was suddenly told that he could travel abroad, and he arrived in London with his minder whom we assumed to be a KGB minder, and he was a bit like a frightened rabbit. He was very self-contained. It was a public event at the National Film Theatre, and people queued around the theatre. The thought of actually seeing him in the flesh was very exciting. People jumped at the chance.
“Really my job was to try to put him at ease and not to ask him difficult questions with somebody in the front row listening to his answers. I tried just to say ‘Tell us what the film process is like for you, how does it go?’ rather than asking him questions about censorship that he would not be able to answer. And he gave me very straight answers, that he had had a lot of opportunities and a lot of support.
“People build up this image of him as beleaguered, censored and muzzled, but in fact he was working in an era where there were incredible privileges and freedoms for film-makers in Russia. He didn’t have to worry about finances. People have nurtured this view of him as a victim of the Soviet system, but I would say that in many ways, he was one of its proudest products. The Soviets really did believe in the art of cinema.”
However, Tarkovsky did go into exile, encouraged by the cellist Rostropovich: “It was a huge decision. He knew that things would be difficult, but like a lot of Russian artists, he was very attached to Russia in a very deep emotional way. He was encouraged by other people to make the jump and that things would not get better.
“It was a very difficult time. At the time, nobody realised that Perestroika was coming. That was his tragedy. I was there a lot at the time, and we didn’t really believe it was going to happen. By the time he left, I would not say he had burnt his bridges, but he had made his decision. And he had a support network in the west. He also got ill with cancer not long after he decided to leave. Even when he died, at the end of 86 (aged 54), nobody knew how Perestroika was going to go.”
But it is important to remember the respect he was still held in back in Russia.
“I was in Russia when the news came of his death in Paris, and I remember the KGM man who was monitoring us just said ‘We have just lost our greatest film-maker’.”
Tarkovsky had been part of the great optimistic era under Khrushchev in the early 60s, but then in 67-68 the shutters had come down: “Party discipline was imposed. He did and he didn’t have artistic freedom. He could make films, but it was a question of whether they would be shown. In the end, he decided to leave.”
It is a fuller picture of the man that Ian is intending to give in Chichester…

Music marathon in Brighton
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Musicians are planning a 21-hour marathon piano concert to raise funds for the Steinway grand piano in St Luke’s Church, Queens Park, Brighton.
Event organiser Adam Swayne, of the University of Chichester, who will be among the performers, said: “Thirty-five professional and amateur pianists will play the entire 840 repetitions of Erik Satie’s Vexations in a concert starting at 7.30pm on August 26 and continuing without a break until 4.30pm the next day.
“The performance will be accompanied by a live tweetalong from the @TheVexator account, and the performers are seeking sponsorship via www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/piano-restoration.”
Adam explained: “Our beloved Steinway is going to piano hospital for a few months, and the bill will come to £10,000. The old piano is a great asset to the church, but it needs a complete overhaul – repairing splits in the soundboard, replacing felts, re-stringing the piano, regulating the keys, action, dampers and pedal mechanism etc.
“Satie composed this atmospheric and mesmeric piece in 1893 following a difficult break-up with his girlfriend, and it wasn’t performed in its entirety until 1963 in a concert organised by notorious experimentalist John Cage.”
A complete programme for the performance may be found at www.adamswayne.com/vexations. To find out more about the series, visit www.stlukesconcerts.webeden.co.uk or contact musicandwineatstlukes@gmail.com to join the mailing list.

Calls to strip Coperforma of Sussex patient transport service contract
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Embattled patient transport service provider Coperforma should be stripped of its contract, one union has suggested.
The private company took over from South East Coast Ambulance Service back in April, but during the first few months patients complained about numerous incidents of crews either not turning up or showing up late.
One of its sub-contractors VM Langfords went into administration earlier this year and Coperforma had to step in to guarantee the pay, jobs, and terms and conditions of employees by transferring them to other companies working under them on the contract.
However the GMB union, which represents staff working for sub-contractor Docklands Medical Services, has warned that many of its members could lose their jobs without money owed to them from their previous employers.
Gary Palmer, GMB organiser, said: “No more chances, no more waiting until the dust hopefully settles, the time has come to remove Coperfoma and all those that would put profit before patients and staff.”
He explained that the union had been made aware that all transferred staff could be given notice and dismissed from their current NHS contracts with a view to offering them inferior contracts on a take it or leave it basis, which could affect up to 60 staff.
The tender process for the contract was led by the High Weald Lewes Havens Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) on behalf of all seven CCGs covering Sussex.
Mr Palmer added: “The GMB have written assurances and viewed public broadcasts where Coperforma CEO Michael Clayton clearly states that their new providers would not only pick up the PTS work after the collapse of Langfords, but that staff would be looked after and not out of pocket, and importantly that all their terms and conditions would remain and be protected and not just during any inbound move to a new provider but with assurances that it would also do so for any future outbound transfer as well.
“Right from the very start when this contract was awarded to Coperforma despite the missed warning signs around their inability to deliver such a vital service for Sussex being ignored by the CCGs and its accountable officers, their delivery, accountability and responsibility has been seen to fail all measures, standards and targets by everyone except those who are ultimately responsible, the CCGs.”
Coperforma have been approached for comment.

Concert illustrates health-giving benefits of singing
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Singing for Pleasure, which has been running successfully in Brighton, Hove and Southwick for five years under musical director Simon Gray, will show its skills on Saturday, September 10 in a concert at Portslade Town Hall at 2.30pm.
As Simon, who has been involved in the musical scene for more than 30 years, explains: “Singing for Pleasure Goes to the Movies offers a programme of songs that have featured in films and film musicals. There will also be a Last Night of the Proms finale in which the audience will be invited to join in and wave union jacks!
“SFP is delighted to announce that Loren Bennett will be one of the soloists. Fifteen year-old Loren, diagnosed with chronic anxiety and Asperger’s, has made astonishing progress in just a few months since joining Singing for Pleasure.
“Singing is now widely recognised as producing a whole host of health benefits, and it could be argued that singing should more broadly be part of everyday life. Singing, through the emotional experience of one’s feelings, has the power to alter and enhance the mood of the singer. Since ancient times singing has been considered a great healing tool as it can influence brain wave frequencies and promote well-being.
“Medical papers have now proved singing and listening to music helps relieve a large number of health conditions. It can lower blood pressure, ease depression, improve lung capacity, and help breathing as when you sing your lungs take in more oxygen. Joining a singing group helps make new friends which in turn helps the feel good factor.”
Simon is pleased to include Loren among the group’s success stories: “Loren had been suffering with chronic anxiety and had been diagnosed with Asperger’s. Loren is a gifted singer with an exceptional voice but singing in front of anyone, other than her voice teacher or parents, had become impossible for her. It was suggested that maybe she should come along to Singing for Pleasure and sing along with other people with no pressure to perform on her own.
“Loren (who lives in Rottingdean) came along with her mother to the Hove group and within a couple weeks she was feeling very comfortable singing and socialising with the other members – so much so that by week four Loren felt brave enough to get up and sing a solo! This was a huge breakthrough, and Loren has since gone on to perform solos with SFP on a weekly basis as well as taking part in concerts elsewhere, including a solo recital for family and friends. She also appeared in a concert at the Barn Theatre in Southwick alongside experienced professional performers from the world of musical theatre and opera.”
Loren’s mother Rebecca Bennett said: “Since being diagnosed with Asperger’s and chronic anxiety, we had really given up on her singing, but since coming to [SFP] she has made incredible progress, so much so she is now enjoying performing and socialising with the lovely group of people each week, both of which I never thought she would feel comfortable doing. I will definitely recommend Singing for Pleasure as a form of therapy for Asperger kids and adults.”
Simon added: “Also in the groups there are singers living with cancer, Lupus, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, all of whom find great comfort, relief and inspiration from singing in a friendly environment on a weekly basis. Indeed, several of them have even reported a distinct improvement in their conditions which they attribute to regular singing.
“If anyone is tempted to come and join SFP then come along to Portslade Town Hall to see what the group does. There is no upper age limit and there are no auditions. Song choices are taken from musical-theatre shows, some classical songs as well as some of the great standards. We also welcome song suggestions from the group members.”
Simon added: “Throughout the year there are Singing for Pleasure fund-raising events in support of local charities. Indeed, the group is happy to assist all charities by singing free of charge at suitable events. Please phone 01273 555089 for more information. SFP have supported events raising funds for The Martlets Hospice and Chestnut Tree House.”
Tickets from Robert Blass on 01273 555089 or singingforpleasure@hotmail.co.uk.

Exploring the Charlton Hunt
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
James Peill, curator of the Goodwood Collection, looks at the new exhibition at Goodwood:
To eighteenth-century ears, the Charlton Hunt was synonymous with some of the best sport in the country and Mr Roper was its celebrated huntsman. Indeed, it is one of the earliest recorded foxhunts in the world and its fame drew the elite of society, including the Dukes of Monmouth, St Albans and Richmond, the dashing illegitimate sons of King Charles II. Richmond bought nearby Goodwood as a comfortable place to stay and entertain his illustrious friends during the hunting season. His son, the second Duke, shared his love of the chase and when he became Master, such was the success and desirability of the hunt, he decided that membership should be restricted only to those who had been elected. Almost every noble family in the land had a representative at Charlton, including half of the Knights of the Garter. Lord Burlington designed for the members a handsome banqueting house at Charlton where they met after hunting, and many built themselves hunting-boxes in the village, including the second Duke of Richmond. Richmond’s hunting-box still stands; known as Fox Hall, it is now owned by the Landmark Trust and available to rent.
The most important day in the history of the Charlton Hunt took place on 26th January 1739 when in ‘the greatest chase that ever was’ hounds ran continuously from their first find at 8.15 a.m. until they killed at 5.50 p.m., covering a distance of approximately fifty-seven miles with just the Duke and two others present at the end. When the hunt was moved to Goodwood in the mid-eighteenth century, it was known as the Duke of Richmond’s Hounds and magnificent kennels were built by the architect James Wyatt with an ingenious central-heating system, a century before Goodwood House had its own heating.
Our small exhibition explores the history of the Charlton Hunt and its association with the Dukes of Richmond. Documents and books associated with the hunt from the Goodwood archive are on display. Over three hundred years later, Goodwood still revolves around sport and sharing those individual passions of the dukes with the many thousands of visitors who come here every year.

Kent Police said that officers were called at 12.10pm today to a report of a bridge collapsing between Junction 4 and Junction 3 on the M20 London-bound.
Police said a lorry collided with a pedestrian bridge which collapsed onto the carriageway below.
Officers are in attendance along with Kent Fire and Rescue Service and South East Coast Ambulance Service.
No people are believed to be trapped in the debris, however one person is believed to have suffered injuries, not reported to be life threatening at this time, Kent Police said.
Police are treating this as a major incident and the M20 has been closed in both directions to allow this incident to be dealt with.

COUNTY NEWS: Man sentenced for cyber attacks on police contact centre
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A man from Hove who bombarded Sussex Police’s contact centre with 3,000 emails in just six hours has been handed a suspended sentence.
The incident, which happened in October 2014, meant the police’s contact centre was ‘significantly impaired’ for six hours.
A police statement says that Kyoji Mochizuki, 28, of Mansfield Road, Hove, appeared for sentencing at Lewes Crown Court on Friday (August 19) after pleading guilty at Hove Crown Court in July to four counts of unauthorised acts with intent to impair the operation of or prevent/hinder access to a computer, contrary to Section 3 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
He was given a ten-month jail sentence, suspended for 18 months.
The statements adds that the court heard how on October 26, 2014, Mochizuki – also known as Tariq Elmughrabi and Taz Rider – sent around 3,000 emails from various domains to the Sussex Police contact centre at 9.25am.
It was to tie up the force’s email system for more than six hours.
During this time Sussex Police said its contact centre and the non-urgent reporting mechanism for the public was hindered.
It took staff a further 11 hours to restore the email inbox to full operation order.
Earlier that year, in February, an email was received from a sender purporting to be from a man working for a company called Uberex, threatening to attack Sussex Police services in revenge for the force seizing electronic property belonging to Mochizuki in connection with another case, for which he was on bail.
Police said Mochizuki was identified as being a director of that company.
On Monday, November 10, at 5.45am, more emails started to arrive in the public contact centre from a ‘hackerforhire’ domain with the subject line ‘Contact UBX Technology’, in what police called ‘a deliberate attempt to flood the system’.
The statement adds that on November 20, the Surrey and Sussex Cyber Crime Unit raided Mochizuki’s home address and seized a number of items including a computer, a CCTV system that covered all rooms in his house, the entrance and the exterior.
When interviewed he claimed to have carried out work for the FBI and the NCA (National Crime Agency).
He stated that he worked for a company called Uberex as an ethical hacker and with the people whose names were used on the attacking emails.
However, he was unable to put police in contact with them.
Detective Constable Paul Constable from the Surrey and Sussex Cyber Crime Unit said: “In addition to Sussex Police, Mochizuki launched an attack on Brighton and Hove City Council’s email system after he had been summonsed for failing to pay his tax. Their system effectively captured the 2,000 emails aimed at the council tax email inbox.
“An Essex-based insurance company insured a company called Xerosec, which made a claim in 2013 for £36.576.11 due to their computer system overheating after a hacker attack. They paid a sum of £10,000 in settlement to Kyoji Mochizuki of Mansfield Drive, Hove. The following year, the company claimed for equipment damaged in a power surge. The insurer asked to examine the equipment, but was told that was not possible and then received correspondence from the managing director of Xerosec complaining about their incompetence.
“The insurer sent a representative to visit the company where he met with a relative of the accused who stated she had no knowledge of the claim and had been appointed as MD without being consulted. The claim was subsequently refused and on November 6 three of the insurer’s email addresses, including that of the person dealing with the claim, were subject to a denial of service attack.”
Detective Inspector Andrew Haslam, also from the Cyber Crime Unit said: “The scale of Mochizuki’s activities and deceit is breath-taking. Behind each of the events mentioned in court lie a complex web of aliases, email addresses, false employees and considerable technological skill, sadly put to criminal use.
“His attacks on Sussex Police cost nearly £4000 in specialist time to resolve, but of far worse consequence was the significant amount of time lost by contact centre staff that should have been devoted to non-emergency callers and others making contact through email.
“However, I would stress that our 999 emergency operation was not affected by his attacks, nor our operational response effectiveness. The security of the emails from the public was not compromised in any way and there was no impact on any other force IT, email address, web or telephony systems.
“Since the attack, a significant amount of work has taken place to improve the resilience and security of all our IT systems, including emails.” Mochizuki, who had been remanded in custody since breaching bail conditions in June last year, was released upon sentencing.

Graham can now call himself an author...
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
The paperback version of The Hidden Legacy, Graham Minett’s debut novel, comes out on August 25, the same day as the e-version of his second book, Lie in Wait.
These are exciting times for Pagham-based Graham, a former head of languages at Felpham Community College. After a period as head of sixth-form at the Angmering School, he is now the school’s time-tabler and data analyst.
The novels follow on from Graham’s time as an MA creative writing student at the University of Chichester, a time which gave him three very important things, he says. “The first thing was that they showed me I was not quite as good as I thought I was! I was not the finished product, and they had very nice ways of making it clear that I needed to change what I was doing! Secondly, they made me much more professional,” Graham recalls. In other words, they gave him the confidence to say “I am a writer” without feeling like a poser, rather than simply saying “I am a teacher.”
And thirdly: “The most important thing was that you had to complete various assignments while you were there, and these were workshopped and polished to within an inch of their life. And that gave me a CV, and all of a sudden I was winning competitions.”
On the back of it all, came the debut, released earlier as an e-book and now coming out as a paperback. The Hidden Legacy combines two time lines: “One timeline is in the 1960s: a young boy commits an atrocity in the playground and becomes demonised… In the background, all through the novel, this boy’s background is seeping out into the rest of the novel in the modern day.”
In the modern day, recently divorced and with two young children, Ellen Sutherland is up to her elbows in professional and personal stress. When she’s invited to travel all the way to Cheltenham to hear the content of an old woman’s will, she’s far from convinced the journey will be worthwhile. But when she arrives, the news is astounding. Eudora Nash has left Ellen a beautiful cottage worth an amount of money that could turn her life around. There’s just one problem – Ellen has never even heard of Eudora Nash.
Her curiosity piqued, Ellen and her friend Kate travel to the West Country in search of answers. But they are not the only ones interested in the cottage, and Ellen little imagines how much she has to learn about her past . . .
The Hidden Legacy will be joined as a paperback next February by his second novel Lie in Wait which comes out on Kindle on August 25.
“The book concerns a man called Owen Hall in his late 20s. All through his childhood he had been bullied because he was different. There was an accident at his birth, and he was starved of oxygen. He was very backwards in all his social skills. When he was at school, he was a big fat lad and was picked on by everybody. But the one thing he did have was a gift for numbers, and he allows numbers to rule his life. He is wary of prime numbers, but when he sees multiples of prime numbers, he thinks it is good news...”

Celebrity builder sets abseil challenge for Selsey firm
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Selsey-based firm Checkatrade is hosting a charity abseil at Spinnaker Tower, featuring TV builder Craig Phillips.
It is the firm’s biggest fundraising event of the year and up ot 40 people can take part on Sunday, September 11.
The abseil is priced at £50 and participants are asked to raise a minimum of £200 in sponsorship. All proceeds will go to the Checkatrade Foundation, which will support the Lighthouse Foundation in Nepal and the ongoing efforts to repair and build following the devastating earthquake last year.
Celebrity Craig, a Checkatrade ambassador, will be taking part and there is a ‘Beat Craig’ competition, testing people to abseil down the tower in a quicker time than the Big Brother winner.
“I can’t wait to get involved in this event – it’s for a fantastic cause and it’s also going to be a lot of fun,” he said.
“I challenge anyone to beat my time but I’m planning on being number one so you’ll really have to be speedy to catch me.”
Standing at more than 170ft high, the structure is taller than the London Eye and offers stunning views over Portsmouth Harbour.
Checkatrade managing director Gavin Dutton and chief executive Kevin Byrne will both be in attendance to lead the supporters and cheer on the abseilers.

Fontwell race-goers are being urged to keep an eye on Shantou Village at the track’s Thursday afternoon meeting.
Neil Mulholland will give the talented six-year-old his chase debut in the 3.50 race.
Shantou Village is a Cheltenham Grade 2 Hurdle winner and was strong favourite to win this year’s Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
His biggest challenge this time comes in the form of the Paul Nicholls-trained Abidjan, who finished second at Fontwell on June 1 to another Mulholland horse, Pass The Time.
Watch out too for a number of runners who did well last time out at Fontwell just a week ago.
Thursday’s racing at Fontwell begins at 2.20pm with the last off at 5.25pm.
Our tips: 2.20 Red Orator, 2.50 Brave Encounter, 3.20 En Joule, 3.50 Shantou Village, 4.20 Kentford Heiress, 4.55 Wyndcrest, 5.25 Spring Steel.
Meanwhile, Fontwell marketing manager Max Roberts delcared last Thursday’s Ladies’ Evening - attended by around 4,000 people - a big success.
He said: “A huge and energetic crowd enjoyed partying to the Abba Revival after enjoying the seven exhilarating races. Congratulations to the champion jockey Richard Johnson on his treble.
“Other winners on the day included the new Miss Fontwell, Jade Korgaokar, plus the best-dressed winner Amy Hart, who took home the £1,000 cash prize plus the luxury hamper from House of Fraser Chichester, also worth £1,000! Thanks also go to title sponsors Closewood.”

TRAFFIC UPDATE: Motorway closed until ‘this evening’
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Sussex motorists who are travelling to Kent are being told the M20 motorway will be shut until at least this evening.
Highways England issued a statement saying that the M20 is closed between junctions one and four, and ‘is likely to remain closed until at approximately 6pm’.
The collision on the M20 is causing problems for anyone driving to Kent. Picture: Eddie Mitchell
The closure comes after a lorry struck a footbridge in Kent yesterday, causing it to collapse. Read more here.
Highways England said that diversions are also in place and it is likely the M26 which links the M25 to the M20 will also remain closed until the incident is cleared.
The diversion for the M20 is via the A2 or M2 using the A229 and A228, and the diversion for the M26, closed at M25 junction five, is to use the M25 junction two and then travel on the A2 or M2.
Highways England south east operations manager Gary Coleman said everything was being done to reopen the motorway again, but safety had to come first both for workers and drivers.
The collision on the M20 is causing problems for anyone driving to Kent. Picture: Eddie Mitchell
“We are facing a real challenge to lift two HGVs and a motorbike clear of the scene and deal with all of the rubble from the collapsed bridge strewn across both carriageways. “There is also the issue of the remaining part of the footbridge, which is still in place over the coast-bound side of the motorway. We have crews on scene ready to take action as soon as the police have completed their investigation. We also have cranes en route and lighting so work can continue through the night.
“We are doing everything we can to safely reopen the motorway, but we’d ask drivers to please bear with us as this is a complex operation and it will take time and skill to complete. We’ll keep everyone updated.”

POLL: Bill Bryson bashes Bognor in new book
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Bill Bryson didn’t pull any punches when he compared Bognor Regis to a ‘patient on life support’ in his latest book.
The famous travel author made the comment when discussing Arun District Council’s treatment of the town in The Road to Little Dribbling, which documents Bryson’s journey from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath in Scotland.
During his trip to the town, Bryson criticised the council for its handling of the Bognor Regis Regeneration Task Force initiative, which he said had an initial goal to bring £500million of investment into the town before being ‘quietly reduced’ to £100million and then £25million before being ‘wound up’.
He then went on to say: “As far as I could tell, all the authorities are doing for Bognor is just keeping it ticking over, like a patient on life support”.
Despite his criticisms – and his observation that the second-most popular Bognor Regis attraction behind Hotham Park was ‘a shop selling mobility scooters’ – he goes on to say that Bognor ‘isn’t such a bad place’, complimenting its ‘long beach with a curving concrete promenade’.
He is more reserved about the town centre, describing it as ‘compact and tidy, if not thriving’.
As far as I could tell, all the authorities are doing for Bognor is just keeping it ticking over, like a patient on life support Bill Bryson

POLL: Do we need greater safety measures on our beaches?
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Following the search for a missing swimmer earlier today and a string of beach deaths in Sussex, the safety of our seas has been called into question.
Today’s search for the woman at Camber Sands in East Sussex was called off after she identified herself to the RNLI at 11.45am. A coastguard spokesperson said the reason for the large-scale search, which also involved the police, was because ‘it is a dangerous beach’ and it was reported before lifeguards were on duty at 9am. Read more here.
But it begs the question: can more be done to prevent deaths like the five men who lost their lives on Wednesday at Camber Sands, or the man who drowned in the sea at Bognor Regis?

Watch out Kenny and Trott - Bognor have some speedy cyclists
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Bognor Cycling Club wrapped up the summer series of Thursday evening events with a final eight-mile time trial on the Halnaker course.
BRCC’s star junior Aaron Smith took the overall win in an excellent time of 18min 29sec, almost 26mph over a hilly course.
The evening started poorly for BRCC’s other junior, Michael Attfield, who punctured on his way to the start but persuaded his grandmother to drive him home in order to collect his training bike and return in order to take place and still claim a middle-order position.
In the ladies’ section, Deb Smith again took the honours with a ride of 20min 7sec, good enough for ninth place overall.
As a fitting end to the series the riders enjoyed what can only be described as a cake bonanza.
The club now takes a rest from event organising until late September when it runs a non-aero equipment 10 mile time trial on Sunday 25. Anyone can take part.

Mark Bennett’s Lions have already come through two rounds of the famous competition, beating Littlehampton and then Canterbury City, to set up the mouthwatering and potentially money-spinning tie this Saturday.
A big crowd is expected at the Lane to see how Pagham get on against a team who are more used to visiting Nyewood Lane, Bognor, when they come to this part of the world.
Dulwich are old rivals of the Rocks and have played them in three play-off games in the past five year, as well as in some classic league encounters.
Pagham reached this stage by beating Canterbury 2-1 in extra-time in a replay at Nyetimber Lane, Josh Irish’s strike giving the Lions the win.
Knowing the reward was such a prestigious FA Cup tie, Bennett’s men started where they left off in the first tie in Kent, where Scott Murfin’s equaliser gained the Lions a replay.
With 118 minutes on the clock, Irish was involved in a goalmouth scramble, came off best and smacked home a deserved winner.
The visitors were under pressure from the off, Ben Mepham testing Daren Hawkes in City’s goal. Pagham skipper Shay Wiggans could have opeened the scoring, only for Hawkes to again save the day.
This seemed to spur the visitors on, and they opened the scoring themselves as Sam Conlon capitalised on a defensive error to strike past James Binfield.
It could have been two on 14 minutes, only for Ryan Philpott’s shot go wildly awry. Canterbury skipper Dan Lawrence tested Binfield form range, but the Lions were finding their teeth.
Mepham was unlucky to be caught offside before going close on the half-hour. In on goal, the Pagham youngster’s header agonisingly rebounded off the post.
Neil Murfin was a massive influence for the Lions, robust challenges keeping the play with the home side. A clash of heads on 39 minutes saw Ryan Morey floored. The pacy winger was able to continue.
As the first half raced to a close, City could have gone further ahead with Dan Lawrence shooting wide and then a defensive mix-up allowing the visitors to hit the bar on the stroke of half time.
City started the second half positively, Dave Pilcher’s run latching on to Philpott’s cross only for the ball to be cleared for a corner. At the other end, Mepham was again close for the Lions, but the ball to be scrambled out for a goal-kick.
On 55 minutes, Mepham’s efforts were rewarded, a tremendous run ending with an equally-superb shot past the stranded Hawkes.
This reawakened the Lions’ roar, with Liam Humphreys and Scott Murfin both going near to scoring.
Rob Lawrence tried his luck for Canterbury at the other end, but it went well wide.
Chances were coming thick and fast as both sides looked to avoid defeat. With less than ten minutes of normal time remaining City sub Henry Dasofunto dribbled towards goal, only for Binfield to again keep the Lions in the game.
A booking for Dan Lawrence and a near miss for Liam Humphreys ended normal time.
Extra time began with Gary Mickleborough through for City, the ball being hacked away by Pagham’s back four.
Jordan Clark left the field on 102 minutes, with Irish coming on.
The visitors were still keeping Binfield busy as he pulled off save after save to rescue the Lions.
With the game all square after the first period of extra time, many were wondering if penalties would be needed.
Pagham upped the ante, and kept on pressing their opponents into their own half, with the thought of that Dulwich Hamlet tie spurring them on.
With 118 minutes on the clock, Irish was involved in a goalmouth scramble, came off best and smacked home a deserved winner. This seemed to knock the stuffing out of the visitors, as their discipline went, with a double booking adding to their woes.
James Thurgar almost made it 3-1 in the dying seconds, his shot forcing Hakwes to punch the ball away.
Pagham: Binfield, Wiggans, Van Driel, N Murfin, Humphreys, Clark (Irish 108), Kempson (Bingham 96), Mepham (Thurgar 80), S Murfin, Morey; Brown, Ward.

Review: No Man’s Land (Theatre Royal, Brighton, until Saturday, August 27)
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Seeing any play by Harold Pinter demands several questions of its audience: What is actually going on? What do we think is going on? What does the playwright believe is going on? What do the characters think is going on?
Even if you can’t answer these on one side of a sheet of A4 paper, you should fight for seats to Pinter at his most absurd - such is the quality of the touring and London-bound production of No Man’s Land.
At its most basic level No Man’s Land is a play about nostalgia (the mood is established by each of the characters being named after famous cricketers and for Pinter cricket was bound up with such wistfulness – though the cricket references are also more subliminally important throughout), what it means to be human with all our struggles, and the nightmares and joys of being haunted by memories and dreams.
In the hands of two of our finest theatrical knights (and indeed two storming supporting players) we know we are going to be treated to a masterclass of interpretation, line reading and presentation. What isn’t so immediately obvious to the newcomer are the layers upon layers that are unravelled – leading to plenty of moments that are very funny quickly balanced by something unnerving, uncertain, or just plain baffling.
Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart return to this 1975 play having appeared in it on Broadway in 2013 alongside Waiting for Godot. The performances are, of course, exquisite, but they also have the knack of making their roles, the script and their vital interplay fresh. It’s almost as if they were discovering it all for the first time, though it would surely not be beyond imagining that the play itself demands such originality, as though the characters were trapped in a loop, having to repeat the lines and scenes again and again.
As Spooner Ian McKellen appears to be the outsider, a loquacious poet who meets a like-minded spirit in a pub near Hampstead Heath and is invited home – but for what purpose? To discuss mutual literary interests, to share memories as old friends, or for something more physical? McKellen’s Spooner is dishevelled and seedy, but with a sharp mind and wit and a laconic humour; yet there is also a vulnerability as he tries to inveigle himself into his drinking companion’s life and home.
Patrick Stewart’s Hirst seems at first to waver between drunkenness and sobriety but the actor gives the role an extra dimension of a once strong and intelligent writer on the scary edge of senility. There is a chilling sense of his delusions ensnaring the others in the house to the point where all become helpless.
Damien Molony and Owen Teale as Foster and Briggs stay just on the right side of being threatening – are they staff, family, lovers or jailers? Often coming across as bullies, they reveal themselves as educated and eloquent in their own ways, and perhaps there is no escape for them either.
Director Sean Mathias ensures that the play works on so many levels, with its complicated characters, enchanting poetic quality and a humour darker than night and colder than winter. He is aided brilliantly by Stephen Brimson Lewis’s set design, Adam Cork’s sound design and Nina Dunn’s projection design, which all add to the questioning about whether this is something unfinished, artificial, ethereal or imaginary.
By the end we continue wondering if this no man’s land is a place of limbo between life and death, or a dreamlike state between waking and sleeping, or a place between battlegrounds. And are the characters individuals with uncertain memories or aspects of each other?
The sheer quality of this production, with a cast dramatically bowling the most amazing googlies, means that however hard Pinter’s work may be to define, the audience wants to know the answers. It may leave the theatre in a state of bemusement, but it has been rewarded by a sublime and beautiful production.

Driver who died named as Arundel school helper
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

The woman who sustained serious injuries when her car was in collision with a lorry on the B2139 at Houghton Hill, Houghton, near Amberley, last month, has died in hospital.
She has been named as 77-year-old Mary Sherlock, of Fern Road, Storrington. Mrs Sherlock served as treasurer of the village hall and ran a ballet school in the village for many years.
She also helped at St Philip’s Catholic Primary School in Arundel.
Mrs Sherlock was driving her Toyota Avensis west when it was in collision with an eastbound articulated lorry near the George and Dragon pub, just after 3.20pm on Monday, July 18.
She was flown by the air ambulance to Southampton General Hospital where she remained in critical condition, and sadly died in the early hours of Friday, August 19.
The lorry driver, a 69-year-old man from Liss, Hampshire, was not injured.
The road was closed for five hours for investigations and for the HGV to be removed.
Mary’s husband, Steven Sherlock, said; “Mary was a respected member of the Storrington community.
“She was active in organising the music and liturgy at the local Catholic church playing both the piano and organ.”
“She is very much missed by our family and many friends.”
Anyone who saw what happened is asked to contact police by emailing collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk or calling 101, quoting Operation Sedgebrook.

Heads support big education changes

It was always easy to work out how well a school had performed when it came to GCSEs.
You took the latest batch of A*s and compared them to last year’s results. Simple.
Millais School Head Teacher Alison Lodwick (Pic by Jon Rigby) SUS-150510-170504008
Things have changed now, and this year’s youngsters were the last to have their results rated at A*-G.
They will also be the last to take re-sits in November and were the first to have their progress examined under a tough new government system, which will see under-performing schools facing the wrath of Ofsted.
It’s all a little confusing and a lot to take in in one go, but let’s look at the changes one by one.
First, the grade changes. Next year’s results will be graded 9-1 rather than A*-G, with 9 being the highest.
It’s entirely up to the schools what they publish but the only thing that counts from this year is Progress 8. Department for Education
At the top of the pile, grades 9, 8 and 7 will be the equivalent of the current A*/A. The top 20 per cent of those students will receive a grade 9, which has been described as something akin to an A**.
There’s a new top target to aim for.
At the other end of the scale, grade 4 will be the equivalent of scraping a C pass, with grade 5 likely to be the standard set for what is now called a ‘good’ pass.
When it comes to re-sits, students will only be able to retake maths and English in November. No other subject re-sits will be allowed.
There had become something of a culture of re-sits over the past few years. If a child failed an exam, they could retake it until they got the result they wanted – and the result that looked best in the school’s league tables.
It was a bit like messing up a battle when playing a computer game then reloading and reloading until the battle was won. The end result was good but it didn’t really demonstrate any skill – just the ability to avoid making the same mistakes.
Finally we come to Progress 8, which is something of a headache to understand but has been well received by Sussex headteachers.
It’s also the important score when it comes to meeting the government’s required standards.
As one spokesman from the Department for Education put it: “It’s entirely up to the schools what they publish but the only thing that counts from this year is Progress 8.”
To put it simply, it’s a way of measuring the progress made by pupils from the end of primary school to the end of secondary school.
Each child’s progress is measured across eight subjects and then compared to the progress made by children all over the country who started with the same attainment level.
For example, if Anna started secondary school with high Key Stage 2 SATs results, her progress at the end of Year 11 would be judged against children who started from an equally high point.
If she entered secondary school with low SATs results, her progress would be measured against others who had an equally low starting point.
Children who attend independent schools, special schools, pupil referral units, alternative provision or hospital schools are not included in this system.
Anna’s Key Stage 2 score would have been used to predict her results in eight subject areas. Whether or nor she meets those expectations determines her Progress 8 score.
A score of zero means Anna performed exactly as predicted – all is well, progress has been made. Anything above zero means she made better than expected progress – which is good news for her school.
Anything below zero means her progress was not as high as expected.
That would be worrying for Anna’s school, because its overall Progress 8 score is calculated using the mean average of all its pupils’ scores.
The government has set a baseline standard of -0.5 for schools. If a school fails to reach that standard, an Ofsted inspection will be triggered.
As for the eight subjects which give Progress 8 its name, there is a heavy focus on core areas.
Each child must take maths and English plus three English Baccalaureate subjects such as science, computer science, history, geography and languages.
The maths is worth double points as is the English if the students takes both English language and English literature.
They can then include three subjects of choice – which must come from an approved list of qualifications if they are to count towards their score.
As mentioned, Progress 8 has been welcomed by many headteachers in Sussex.
Jules White, head of Tanbridge House School, said the new system was “much fairer”.
He added: “It ensures that a broader basket of subjects are counted but maths and English are still weighted - quite rightly - more heavily than other subjects.
“The old thresholds made a ‘C’ too important and now every grade counts. There still remains a problem that progress is measured from Key Stage 2 results which are far too variable at the moment.”
Dr Alison Lodwick, head of Millais School, agreed. She said: “I consider that measuring progress is a far more accurate method of judging achievement. Attainment can give a false impression of progress and therefore the starting point must be the baseline data for each child if progress is be accurately assessed.
“Therefore, when parents, employers, the press and the public in general gets used to the new way of looking and reporting results - as it sounds a bit complicated to many at the moment - it will be a fairer judgement on how much actual progress has been made by students and schools.”

Sussex under-15 win the Royal London ECB Cup final
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A superb all round performance from Sussex under-15s resulted in Sussex being crowned the winners of the A Division Royal London ECB under-15 Cup Final.
Having lost the toss Sussex were invited to field, and Staffs got off to a great start making 54 without loss.
Sussex wicketkeeper Mason Robinson got things moving with a spell-binding flying catch.
Skipper Tom Clark then turned their innings upside down with a double wicket maiden on route to figures of 3 for 17, and from that moment Sussex were on top. Max Lincoln wowed the crowds sprinting 30 yards to take a high catch in the deep, and it was left to Tom Gordon (3 for 39) to have Staffs floundering on 164 all out.
Alastair Orr completed the job with a well timed catch on the ropes.
In reply our openers faced a real barrage of pace and bounce as Staffs were not going to lie down easily.
The players jump for joy
At 68 for 5 Sussex were having their first and only wobble throughout the whole campaign. However our team is resilient and man of the match Tom Gordon lead the recovery with perhaps one of his most important innings thus far, and against a spirited and energised attack Tom grafted hard making a match winning 68 runs. He was backed up by Oliver Carter (39 not out) who demonstrated a very straight bat from the off. He was rewarded by hitting back to back cover drives to win the match.
Huge celebrations then ensued as Sussex became the 2016 Royal London ECB U15 Champions.
The squad: Oliver Carter - Seaford, Tom Clark - Horsham, Henry Crocombe - Hailsham, Tom Gordon - Eastbourne, Tom Hinley - Lindfield,
Scott Lenham - Eastbourne, Max Lincoln - Preston Nomads, Dominic Morgan - Lindfield, Alastair Orr - Lindfield, Joe Pocklington - Eastbourne, Mason Robinson - Preston Nomads, Louis Storey - East Preston, Freddie Longley - Lindfield

Johnny Cantor: Don’t forget those behind the scenes
| null | null |

Among the continuous flow of games and press conferences in the early part of the season, it’s nice to take time out on occasion to speak to various people in more depth.
Last week I sat down with Albion goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts.
Among the talk of his one-year anniversary moving to Sussex and his time in Rio after his playing career ended, he also gave us a reminder of the work that’s done behind the scenes.
He was referring to the role of Casper Ankergren, a seasoned experienced keeper who no longer features in the team but has an important job of helping the outfield players hone their skills in front of goal. Of course, he has an impact in the changing room and is also looking to prepare himself for his own coaching career.
This week we also saw the return of German centre-back Uwe Hunemeier after eight months out of action with a groin injury. What seemed initially a relatively-minor problem kept the defender on the sidelines from December 19, 2015, to August 23, 2016.
The hours of rehab and training after surgery must have taken their toll but credit goes to the player and medical staff. Many of the backroom team don’t sing their own praises or avoid the spotlight but they play a huge role themselves.
It often seems like an army of foot soldiers are on hand to help at the training ground or matchdays and it seems reasonable to ask the question – what do they all do? Well, to be honest, I don’t know but it’s nice to find out more. What I do know is that they wouldn’t be employed unless they did a valuable job that can improve the ultimate performance of players and the team.
After the Olympic Games came to a close we had another reminder of how an improvement in many different areas by small margins can amount to big rewards.
Cyclist Mark Cavendish was asked why Team GB had excelled once again in Rio. He reiterated the role of designers, technicians, physios and psychologists who all add to the overall performance.
We may all know it but we don’t always see it and every so often it is good just to tip our hat to those in the dark corners who go about their business as the pursuit of glory continues in the full face of the media and fans.

No Sussex services restored in Southern timetable changes
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
None of the 119 services a day set to be restored to Southern train timetablse are in Sussex.
Govia Thameslink Railway brought in a revised weekday timetable in early July, which cancelled more than 300 services a day in response to staff shortages.
The rail operator has been locked in a bitter dispute with the RMT union for months over plans to change the role of conductors, with both sides blaming each other for the inadequate level of train crew available.
The new timetable saw most train services cancelled between Lewes and Seaford, with buses operating instead.
Southern announced today that 119 train services will be reinstated on Monday (September 5), but these will be in Surrey and in and out of London.
Charles Horton, GTR’s chief executive, said: “We know how difficult life has been for our passengers recently and we are sincerely sorry. Our aim has been to bring back as much of the timetable as quickly as we could and for several weeks we’ve had 5th September as our target to begin the reinstatement of trains.
“We’re pleased that we can restore a large chunk of our train timetable for our passengers on this date but we will not be satisfied until the full timetable is running, and running in a punctual way people can rely on.
“But with another RMT strike called for next week, passengers will be dismayed and angry, as we are, that the union has called yet further cynically-orchestrated action to try and scupper this improved service, and cause maximum disruption, damage and delay in the very week when many people go back to work and back to school after the summer break.”
“But we will not be thwarted in our determination to give passengers their trains back. In the face of an intransigent RMT leadership, we’re doing all we can to get our passengers back on track.
“The updated timetable will allow us to run a more comprehensive rush hour service with virtually a full peak service at London Bridge and 95% of peak train capacity at Victoria. We will continue to add services incrementally and we are aiming at restoring the full timetable in the coming weeks.
“However, while we’ll do all we can to restore the services, we are faced with an unparalleled wave of strikes, unjustified industrial disputes and abnormal levels of train crew sickness. We are also part of a live railway network which can result, however much we don’t want them, in unexpected incidents which do cause short notice cancellations and disruption. This is the start of the journey to restore the full timetable. It will take time to complete, but passengers can be assured it is now underway.”
The restored rail services are available in online journey planners.
Southern says that information on services during the RMT strike action on Wednesday and Thursday, 7 and 8 September will be announced in due course.

Back of the Net: Sussex and Surrey football round-up
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

In our weekly column, Back of the Net Ltd round-up the week’s football in Sussex and Surrey
AFC Uckfield 2-0 Littlehampton Town FC
Back of the Net
AFC Uckfield recorded their first league victory of the season with a 2-0 home win against Littlehampton Town FC. They now have four points from their first three league games.
Their star man on the day was Andrew Dalhouse who scored both goals for the U’s. The goals came either side of half time in what looked a convincing victory. The match was not all plain sailing though as Littlehampton still looked dangerous and won a penalty for their troubles. The resulting kick was admirably saved by new signing Matt Dann, who is looking to solidify his place as the first choice keeper.
This was the perfect result for Uckfield going in to the Bank Holiday Monday fixture against title favourites Haywards Heath Town, who have won their opening three games and scored 13 goals in the process.
Chester 4-0 Sutton United
Sutton United’s three-game win streak came to an abrupt halt as they were hammered 4-0 at Chester, who themselves had not won in three games.
The U’s were undone by two early goals and two late goals, in a match that was played in heavy rain. Chester’s Blaine Hudson opened the scoring after three minutes, and the lead was doubled four minutes later when Ryan Lloyd tapped in after Sutton ‘keeper Ross Worner did well to save Kane Richard’s effort. The U’s came back at the hosts and had decent chances, but were denied by an excellent Jon Worsnop performance between the Chester sticks. The competition was over on 83 minutes when Tom Shaw converted a penalty, and Richards added insult to injury in added time with his first of the season.
It was a blow to the U’s who have enjoyed a strong start to their National League campaign, despite being brandished ‘just a pub team from Sutton’ by other supporters. Sutton host 2nd place Dagenham & Redbridge on Monday.
Chipstead 3-3 Hastings United
Chipstead allowed a three goal lead to slip as spoils were shared at High Road. Raheem Sterling-Parker put The Chips ahead from the penalty spot after only 7 minutes, having been bundled over by the visiting keeper. He had the chance to score a second penalty 5 minutes later, when he was upended by a defender, but saw his effort saved. A great team goal then set up Chris O’Flaherty to double the lead on 18 minutes, and he slotted home with just 3 minutes later for 3-0.
However, a spirited Hastings side didn’t give up and were back in the game on 24 minutes, when their in-form striker Jay May seized on to a loose ball in defence and scored. He then converted a penalty 3 minutes later and completed his hat trick on 33 minutes with a lob from well outside the penalty area. Both sides had chances to score in the second half, Hastings coming closest after hitting the woodwork, but the action never quite matched that of the busy first half.
Up next for the Chips is a visit to Carshalton Athletic on Monday.
Crawley Down Gatwick 2-3 Eastbourne Town
The Anvil’s poor start to the season continues, and are still looking for their first win of the season after Saturday’s home defeat to Eastbourne. It was a terrible start for the hosts, who found themselves two goals down at half time.
Manager Paul Cooper’s half time team talk clearly made an impact, as a completely regenerated side came out and eventually drew level through goals from Kerran Boylan and Oli Leslie. The Anvils pushed for a late winner, but were caught on the break, conceding a penalty after a desperate challenge. Wes Tate converted the penalty on 87 minutes to steal all three points and break Anvil hearts, who must now look ahead to their trip to Broadbridge Heath and attempt to bring an end to their bad form.
Crawley Town 1-3 Notts County
Dermot Drummy’s side had not been beaten in the league going into this game, and we sitting pretty in second in League 2. An entertaining first half with plenty of chances for both sides finished goalless, James Collins coming closest for Reds when he broke through one-on-one with the keeper, who tipped his shot agonisingly past the post. The hosts came flying out of the blocks in the second half, taking the lead on 47 minutes with Enzio Boldewijn’s cool low finish from a well worked Crawley corner. The lead didn’t last long though, after some sloppy defending resulted in Collins knocking a low cross into his own net on 54 minutes. The visitors were ahead 10 minutes later; Adam Campbell bending in a strike from a tight angle at the edge of the box into the bottom corner.
Crawley struggled to get back in to the game after that blow, and the game was over four minutes from time when Jon Stead fired in a penalty after Andre Blackman handled in the area. After the game, Drummy said “I’ve told the boys they need to keep their heads up. We go again on Tuesday and we stay together on this journey.”
Dorking FC 1-5 Ash United
Dorking FC continued their poor form after they conceded five goals for the second home match in a row. The game started strongly for the Chicks, but strong play in possession was squandered by lack of composure in the final third. They were punished when Ash took the lead, but drew an equaliser just before half time from Owen Hunt to see the second half open nicely for a good contest.
However, the whistle had only just blown for the second half when two goals in the space of two minutes from United killed off the game. Heads dropped and whilst Dorking tried to build their way back into the game, their tired and inexperienced legs saw the side concede another two goals.
Press officer Roger Mahony:
“The scoreline didn’t reflect balance of play; it reflects the inexperience of players in the squad. We have brought in a manager to recruit local, young players and make them better that won’t happen overnight. There is already progress in the team, and it was all us in the first fifteen minutes. The next thing is to cut out the silly mistakes; two of Ash’s goals were breakaways. 1-1 was fair at half time, we had a hatful of chances and when we grabbed the equaliser we thought we could push on. Their two goals meant it took a bit of time to get our heads up again, and we played well in the last 15 and created some great chances, and at 3-2 we could have had the lift. We probably need one or two experienced players to help the squad develop.”
Horley Town 2-1 Hanworth Villa FC
Horley Town are still unbeaten after a 2-1 victory against Hanworth Villa. At the start of the day Hanworth were top of the league and favourites to win the match, but goals from Wetton and Robson saw Horley snatch the three points.
The home side were dominant in the first half, with the first goal coming fifteen minutes in. New signings Kyle Hough and Tate Greenway worked a corner into the box for Richard Wetton to put in at the front post. Then in the 28th minute, the right back Scott Robson went on a solo run and hit a fierce strike into the bottom corner from 20 yards out.
Hanworth came out stronger in the second half and took one of their chances in the 65th minute to send a few scares around the New Defence. They continued to press but the Horley defence stayed strong and even threatened a third on the counter. After two wins and two draws, Horley now sit in 7th on eight points.
Manager Ant Jupp was happy with the result:
“It was a very tough game against an unbeaten Hanworth. The first half we were very good and totally dominated. Hanworth got more into the game in the second half as expected and got a goal with a neat finish. We defended them well and had a couple of chances to wrap it up late on but their keeper made some good saves. Overall, a very good 3 points. Now onto Epsom away which once again will be very tough.”
Hythe Town 3-3 Horsham
Horsham earned a point against Hythe Town on Saturday, who finished 4th in the Isthmian League Division One South last season. Matt Dale stated that before the game, which finished 3-3, the side “would be happy to take a point.” However, he also stated:
“It’s disappointing we couldn’t hold onto the lead when we were 2-0 and 3-2 up, but Hythe are a good side and we would have expected them to throw everything at us.”
Most importantly, he said:
“It’s a point that’s got us off the mark and hopefully we can build on that on Monday against Lewes.”
Leiston 2-0 Burgess Hill Town
An 80th minute goal and 86th minute penalty saw Leiston grab the points late against Burgess Hill Town.
Before the match, Leiston had won all four of their opening fixtures and looked in a strong position to do so again. The Hillians had a few good chances at the start of both halves, but for most of the game focused on remaining solid defensively and kept Leiston away from their box. It saw an impressive goal from Matt Blake to break the deadlock, and the game was over when Josh James took down the Leiston forward.
Burgess Hill will be hoping for better as they face Folkestone Invicta this Bank Holiday Monday; a win could see them propel from 15th up to 6th.
After the game Ian Chapman said:
“We played some good football at times and we defended well. We had good chances to take the lead early in the 2nd half. If we had taken that we may have been able to have held on and take something from the game. As we found last season, this league is about fine margins and they took their chances in the last ten minutes.”
Merstham 3-4 Hendon
Merstham kept their first clean sheet of the season against Folkestone Invicta last Tuesday, taking a 0-0 draw, despite the absence of right back Michael Abnett. However, on Saturday, the side were involved in a seven goal thriller against Hendon, losing 4-3. Dan Bennett opened the scoring after nine minutes, but an own goal from Marc Okoye shortly followed.
Hendon fought back, scoring two more goals before Merstham managed to pull a goal back approaching half time. The opposition restored a two goal margin in the second half, but the Moatsiders netted a third before the final whistle.
Newcastle 3-0 Brighton
After a confident 4-2 win over Oxford United in the EFL Cup last Tuesday, Brighton were defeated 2-0 by promotion rivals Newcastle. Despite this result, Brighton are only five points adrift of first place as the side have accumulated eight points in five games. 3-0 wins against Nottingham Forest and Rotherham in the league exemplify the firepower which the Seagulls possess with the likes of Glenn Murray and Tomer Hemed.
The side will take a break this weekend, but on Saturday 10th September Brighton host Brentford. Three days later, the Seagulls encounter first placed Huddersfield.
Oakwood 2-2 Storrington
Oakwood came from behind to take a point against Storrington on Saturday as the final result ended 2-2. The side conceded two goals in the first half, scored by Liam Bouzan and Ross Fraser. In the 73rd minute, Gerald Manville pulled a goal back. 2-1. At last, in the 87th minute, Jack McNab netted the equaliser which earned the team a point. This afternoon, the club will face Midhurst & Easebourne.
Redhill 1-2 Balham
A promising start to the season saw Redhill defeat St. Francis Rangers 4-1 in the FA Cup and also win their opening league fixture against Frimley Green, defeating the side 2-0. Three days later, the side lost 2-1 against Chessington & Hook United and suffered a 6-1 defeat in the FA Cup to Lewes on Saturday 20th August.
Over the weekend, the Reds were on the end of a 2-1 loss to Balham. The latter are new to the Combined Counties League, finishing 2nd in the Surrey Elite Intermediate League last season and subsequently earning promotion. Today, Redhill take a trip to Worcester Park and will encounter Eversley & California on Saturday.
Rochdale 1-1 AFC Wimbledon
AFC Wimbledon are yet to record their first win in League One this season after a 1-all draw against Rochdale. The Dons came excruciatingly close though after they conceded an equaliser from 10-man Rochdale in the 5th minute of added time at the end of the match.
The game started well for Wimbledon after a quick counter attack saw Andy Barcham open the scoring with a header in the 12th minute. But Dale looked increasingly strong as the match went on with Allen rattling the crossbar and Dons keeper Ryan Clarke making a host of saves. When Rochdale player Camps was sent off for a second yellow card in the 82nd minute, the game looked all but over. Yet in the 95th minute with the final attack, Allen whipped a corner in that Clarke diverted into his own net.
After the game, manager Neal Ardley was in a reflective mood:
“We’ve lost a little bit of quality with the ball. We had fleeting moments when we looked good, but too often in the second-half we made bad decisions and lacked quality... There is loads to work on, but we are certainly positive about what we are doing. I said to the boys afterwards that ‘we do not turn on each other’. Part of what we had last season and what we want this season is team spirit and an unbelievable work ethic. We will try to keep that going.”
Sittingbourne 2-0 South Park
South Park take on Surrey rivals Dorking Wanderers in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup on Friday 2nd September after defeating Phoenix Sports 2-1 on the 20th August. In the league, the Sparks lost 2-0 against Sittingbourne of the weekend but will face Guernsey FC this afternoon.
Southwick 1-2 Lingfield
After thrashing Halisham Town 5-0 in a cup fixture on Saturday 20th August, Lingfield carried that confidence into their following league game as the side defeated Southwick 2-1 at the weekend. A penalty in the 68th minute was converted by David Heaton, followed by another goal in the 74th minute by Dan Frith.
Tomorrow night, Lingfield face St. Francis Rangers on the road. Another couple of away trips follow, including fixtures against AFC Varndeanians, Seaford Town and Halisham.
Tooting & Mitcham United 2-1 Dorking Wanderers
Dorking Wanderers’ 100% start to the season is over after being beaten at Imperial Fields. The hosts took the lead after Jordan Wilson slotted home after 23 minutes. Wanderers then held firm after more pressure from Tooting & Mitcham, and were level just before half time when Tom Tolfrey, continuing his fine goalscoring form, converted a penalty.
Wanderers were behind again just after the break, failing to deal with a quickly-taken Tooting thrown-in, the ball found Danny Bassett who hit early to grab the winner. Dorking Wanderers now sit 5th in the Ryman League South Division table, ahead of the visit of Molesey on Monday.
Walton Casuals 1-0 Three Bridges
Three Bridges are still without a win this league campaign after losing away at Walton Casuals thanks to Gabriel Odunaike’s goal. It was a closely contested game throughout, but it was Odunaike who proved to be the difference; his 41st minute goal coming just 10 minutes after having one ruled out for offside.
The Bridges have not won in all competitions so far this season, but will be hoping their luck changes on Bank Holiday Monday when they host Goldalming Town, who are yet to pick up a point in the league.

Car insurance costs soar nearly 20 per cent in 12 months
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
UK motorists have been hit by a near-20 per cent rise in insurance costs in the last year, new figures show.
The average driver now pays £715 a year for fully comprehensive cover, up 19 per cent on the same time last year.
The figures were revealed by the Confused.com car insurance price index, which tracks quarterly and annual trends.
After dropping for several years from a high of £843 in 2011, insurance costs have been rising since the start of 2015. The latest figures, for the period from April to June 2016 show that costs have risen by 6 per cent since the start of the year and drivers are paying an average of £115 more for their insurance than they were in the same period last year.
Northern Irish drivers have been worst hit by the latest rises, seeing their premiums climb 25 per cent year-on-year. They now face an average premium of £863.
Also feeling the impact badly are motorists in parts of Scotland - the Highlands and Islands saw rises of 24 per cent and drivers in the Hebrides were hit with a staggering 42 per cent annual increase.
Conversely, Orkney’s capital - Kirkwall - was one of only two places to see a drop in costs, with a quarterly fall of four per cent. Hereford, in the West Midlands, was the only other place to see a fall in quarterly premiums - down two per cent on the first three months of the year.
While younger drivers might face the highest premiums overall, they have actually escaped the worst of the rises. Drivers aged 17 saw an annual rise of just eight per cent - the lowest of any age bracket - but still face average premiums of £2,013. A the opposite end, 61-year-old drivers saw a 24 per cent rise - the highest of any age group - but still only pay £418 a year.
And the gender gap persists, with male drivers facing annual rises of 21 per cent in comparison with the 18 per cent faced by women. This continued difference means the gap between the sexes is growing as men pay an average of £92 a year more - up from £27 in 2013.
Confused’s motoring editor, Amanda Stretton, said: “We’ve not seen price rises of this magnitude for five years - a 19 per cent annual increase is substantial to say the least. And these price rises are being felt across the board, for drivers of all ages and genders, across all UK regions.
“If prices continues to rise at the rate we’ve been seeing, we could be facing the possibility of average comprehensive premiums reaching a high not seen since 2011. This, combined with rising fuel prices and increased motoring costs across the board, could result in a sizeable dent in drivers’ pockets.”

Paul Cook: Pompey aren’t firing
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Paul Cook admitted Pompey are a long way short of firing on all cylinders.
The Blues boss feels there is a lot of progress which needs making in terms of the quality of his team’s performances.
Cook’s side go to Yeovil tonight in the Checkatrade Trophy looking for their third win on the bounce.
They did that on four occasions last season – but it took them until March to string three league successes together.
Cook is taking solace from the fact Pompey have put back-to-back victories together.
But he can see his team are not producing the kind of quality he demands.
Cook said: ‘The balance of the first team is not right at minute. It’s not right. I don’t care what anyone says.
‘I don’t watch us and think wow we look good. There were times last season when I did.
‘I haven’t done that yet but if we win on Saturday we’ll be right up there.
‘We’ll be in a good position with a win over Crawley but we haven’t fired this year yet.
‘I don’t like the way we’re playing.
‘I don’t like us at the minute. I look at us and think no.’
Pompey are four points off leaders Morecambe after five league games.
They can narrow that gap with victory over Crawley at Fratton Park on Saturday.
Cook noted that would ensure a very different mood will surround the club from a couple of weeks ago.
He said: ‘Our campaign is weird. If we get two results now it would probably be our best start in years.
‘That’s off the back at that disappointment at Morecambe.
‘It’s a huge game Saturday because we can get that buffer on our side.
‘That can give us the confidence of having three league wins on the bounce.
‘We nearly contrived to get beat on Saturday.
‘But I thought our performance against Carlisle was excellent.
‘Then we went and drew at Crewe and there was so much doom and gloom about.
‘We know we have to put teams under more pressure.
‘The amount of negative passes we have can allow teams to get comfortable.’
Cook believes a look back to last season shows what is needed for Pompey to build on their recent successes.
He feels striking early in matches was the recurring theme to the Blues’ best home results.
Cook said: ‘There are key points in games when you have to score.
‘We had some great wins at home last season and they all came off the back of us scoring early in the game.
‘When we don’t score early in the game the games quickly become hard work.
‘We can be sloppy and can refuse to be positive.
‘I don’t know if there is a Portsmouth negativity.
‘We have to be better as a club.
‘We are a big challenge for sides.
‘Our lads don’t get that bit of breathing space.’

Memories in the ashes: Selsey Academy prepares for new term
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
An atmosphere of solidarity was felt as Selsey Academy students picked up their GCSE results from a nearby primary school today.
The fire that ravaged three quarters of the secondary school has left around 400 pupils without permanent classrooms, equipment and swathes of coursework.
With temporary classrooms and other measures arranged for the autumn term, the joy of good results was tempered with the sadness of losing memories.
Mum Yvonne May said: “It’s absolutely devastating. I went there, my brother and sister went there, it’s sort of like losing part of the family, it’s like losing a person. Hopefully good things will come out of this and it will be rebuilt.
“When I saw it I actually cried. You don’t expect that, but your memories are part of it.”
Her 22-year-old daughter Sophie now hopes to run a fundraiser to help get the school up and running again with a performance by Theatre Ink at Chichester College.
“We’re hopefully going to raise some money, whatever we can. It’s my old school and we were going to do a performance there,” she said.
Despite moving on, many year 11 pupils felt the same.
Katie Byrne said: “It’s gutting, not only for me but for the students and ex-students as well. There are so many memories in there.
“I’m sure it’ll be rebuilt. It’s sort of the heart of the village.”
With no building to hand out results from, GCSEs were collected from Seal Primary School, where staff were on hand to provide tea and biscuits throughout the morning.
Headteacher Tom Garfield said the support from the primary school and the community had been ‘incredible’.
Staff are keen to get things up and running as soon as possible, but for some, the transition will not be easy.
Food technology teacher Emma Watts explained that she had lost ‘hundreds of thousands of pounds worth’ of equipment built up over 15 years at the academy, as well as GCSE coursework from her year 10s.
“I can’t teach in a normal classroom,” she said. “It’s just all the equipment. It was so well equipped with good quality stuff.”
Deputy head Jackie Shepherd said the day was a ‘touch of normality’ in the face of the fire and she was confident staff would rise to the challenge.
She said: “The thing that matters most is that the children get a good education, and that’s about the teachers, not the building.”

Post Office defends decision to move Chichester branch
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
The Post Office has defended its decision to move the city’s branch to ‘ensure future sustainability’, despite being met with protest from the public.
It was revealed last week that the Post Office will be relocated to British Bookshops Sussex Stationers – owned by WHSmith – in North Street to create a ‘modern open-plan branch’ for customers.
However, this announcement came as a shock to many after the community spoke of their ‘outrage’ at the ‘ridiculous’ plans during the public consultation.
City councillor Sarah Sharp has spoken out suggesting that if the public’s opinions continue to be ignored, eventually no one will share their views.
She said: “There is a consultation overload and the more consultations we have where the public is discounted, the less likely they will be to share their opinions again – that is probably why only 55 people took part.
“The general opinion is we don’t want the Post Office to move. It is in a prime location next to the bus stop. I’m fit and healthy so I can walk the extra distance but think about the elderly or the disabled.
“We may be listened to but our opinions are not being acted on. These consultations are giving people false hope, it feels as though decisions are being made before the consultation.”
A spokesperson from the Post Office said: “During the public consultation period we received 55 individual representations from customers and local representatives.
“The main areas of feedback were around ease of access to the proposed new location, because it is within a pedestrianised area which is further away from the bus stop.
“Concerns were also expressed about the size of the premises and whether it would be large enough to accommodate additional customers, as well as providing ease of access to the Post Office area.
“Although there are no bus stops in the pedestrianised area, we anticipate that customers using public transport would continue to use the stop outside the existing branch,” the spokesperson continued.
They added that they understand that during the farmers’ market the city is busier, however the pedestrian area is wide and traders are required to make sure that their pitches are kept tidy and don’t cause obstruction.
The Post Office spokesperson said: “We understand of course that some people would prefer the Post Office could remain as it is but, if we do not take action, we cannot ensure future sustainability.”
The new Post Office is set to open in North Street on October 6.

Golf: Galvin gets the summer silverware at Chichester
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Chichester veterans played the Summer Trophy competition sponsored by Colin Lindsell’s Royal Garden Hotel – and despite the gloomy weather forecast most of the entrants completed their rounds in the dry .
It was a blustery day and after recent rain the course played long, which certainly kept the scores down – with only two players achieving par.
Mike Hunter played well for his 35 points to be the early leader but Robert Stainsby went one better.
Stainsby would, however, rue his final hole where he didn’t score.
John Galvin played steadily throughout to score 36 and his back nine of 18 points was good enough to win the trophy.
The veterans played their inaugural home match against Meon Valley in pleasant, breezy conditions.
There were fewer than usual competing in Cowdray Park’s monthly medal and only five players scored better than par.
It was a keen contest with four of the six matches going to the wire. It was all square after the first three matches but Norman Moore and Gordon Williams had a resounding 6&5 victory and with the last two pairs squeezing home, the final result was 4½-1½ to Chichester.
Scores: J Robertson & P Collyer halved; D Galloway & M Skinner won 5&4; R Stainsby & J Paul lost 2&1; N Moore & G Williams won 6&5; C Goldsmid & R Chandler won 2&1; B Santer & N Wood won 1 up.
Chichester achieved a fine victory over Avisford Park at home by 4½-1½ with a big win for captain Jim Robertson and his vice-captain Nigel Wood by 6&5.
This was followed by a trip to Brighton & Hove in pleasant weather on the Downs where the veterans were soundly beaten, achieving just half a point from six matches.
COWDRAY PARK
Despite showery, humid weather, Leo Crouch and Sandy Barnett came in with a marvellous score of nett 69 in the Daily Mail Foursomes.
Crouch and her daughter Sandy will go on to represent Cowdray ladies in the national competition in 2017. Runners-up were Catherine Staples and Kate O’Kelly with a commendable score of nett 77.
Cowdray ladies played in the Roberts Cup, the format being an 18-hole foursomes Stableford with half combined handicap. It is a drawn competition, drawing high and low handicap pairs.
The results went down to countback. Winners were Joy Reineck and Marnie Evans, ahead of Wendy Street and Jenny Nicholls – both pairs scoring 35 points.
Cowdray Park seniors entertained the West Surrey Sages, having lost the first match at West Surrey.
On home ground they turned things round, winning comfortably by 6-2, with all the pairs evenly matched and reaching the 18th before a result was achieved. It proved a great day’s golf on a superb course.
The entente cordiale which exists between these clubs was evident with Cowdray fielding all eight pairs from the original match, while West Surrey fielded seven.
The first match ended in an honourable half before Tony Pike and Wally Mitchell completed the double over their opponents, the only pair from either side to achieve this.
Results (Cowdray names first): Sam Howes & Clive Brine halved with Mike Harrison & Gavin Bell; Tony Pike & Wally Mitchell beat Mike Sharpe & Carlton Gathern; Ian Heustice & David Wickham beat Robert Secrett & Arthur Blackman; Terry Jasper & Dave Balfour lost to James Staff & Mark Ross; Chris Hutchings & Jon Fife beat Rod Duncan & Robin Gorringe; Trevor Edwards & Pat Harrison halved with Sandy Meadow & Mike Fabian; Mike Holden & Mike Briant beat Matthew Hall & John Roberts; Barry Overington & Mike Hughes beat Terry Tidbury & John Wharton.
Cowdray seniors played their first-ever match at Alresford, a link-up arranged by Cowdray golf professional Tim Allen.
Alresford’s long-established course is set in the heart of the Hampshire countryside and, with narrow fairways and tricky greens, provided a whole new challenge for the visitors.
Cowdray were beaten 5-3, but three matches were lost by 2&1 and the final match was lost on the final green.
Cowdray found themselves three down before Brian Brockhurst and Brian Carpenter had a comfortable 3&2 win to stem the flow, and then Dave Coombes and Bill Birnie won by the same margin to keep the momentum going.
A final-green win by Nick Austin and Mike Briant completed the fightback to level the scores at 3-3.
Ian Heustice and Trevor Edwards lost by 2&1, and, in the decider, John Doran and Graham Evans were in the hunt until the 18th green to give the home side victory. The Cowdray players were effusive in their praise for the course.
Results: Terry Adsett & Phil Harrison lost 2&1; Colin West & Ken Marjoram lost 2&1; David Wickham & Bill Brownlee lost 3&2; Brian Brockhurst & Brian Carpenter won 3&2; Dave Coombes & Bill Birnie won 3&2; Nick Austin & Mike Briant won 1 up; Ian Heustice & Trevor Edwards lost 2&1; John Doran & Graham Evans lost 1 down.
Cowdray seniors’ August Stableford marked the return to competitive action of captain Derek Smith following a serious spinal operation.
Conditions proved testing, with a strong wind not helpful and the greens proving as difficult as ever. There were many good players recording disappointing scores.
Best score of the day came in division one from Bill Birnie, who returned an outstanding score of 41 points. Long-time leader John Hall finished second with 39, from Dave Balfour on 38.
In division two Dave Darby kept up his recent good form to win with 39 points, having gone out in the second group, alongside John Renwick, who finished third on countback with 38, pipped for second place by Alistair Proctor.
Five players recorded twos in division one, including Howard Morley, who scored two, on the 11th and 17th.
Five recorded twos in division two, including Arthur Mayson, who, only a week before, had scored a hole-in-one on the ninth hole, the same hole he scored his two.
Leading scores: Div 1 - 41 Bill Birnie; 39 John Hall; 38 Dave Balfour; 37 Pat Harrison; 36 Chris Hutchings. Div 2 - 39 Dave Darby; 38 Alistair Proctor, John Renwick; 37 David Tulip, Barry Overington; 36 Bernie May. Twos - D1 Terry Adsett (11), Peter Hallt (3),Howard Morley (11&17), Mike Briant (11). D2 - Rob Doney (11), Arthur Mayson (9), Rob Knight (17), Dave Darby (9), John Renwick (9).
There were fewer than usual competing in Cowdray Park’s monthly medal and only five players scored better than par.
After a series of low scores recently, the course is biting back, with long rough and fast greens taking their toll.
Winner in division one with 66 was Oliver Bradbury, followed by Shaun White (68) and Matt Harrison (69).
Simon Small took division two with 67 from Ken Chapman, Dave Fowler and Nick Caws on 70, while division-three winner with 69 was John How.
Although the overall scoring level was disappointing, there were 15 twos scored, with Eric Morrish scooping the pool in division three, with his two on the ninth.
Leading scores: Div 1 - 66 Oliver Bradbury; 68 Shaun White; 69 Matt Harrison; 71 Steve White; 72 Howard Kasey and Chris Strudwick. Div 2: 67 Simon Small; 70 Ken Chapman, Dave Fowler and Nick Caws. Div 3: 69 John How; 72 Barney Dixon.
BOGNOR
Bognor and Waterlooville ladies changed courses on an exchange day. Conditions were not conducive to golf, with high winds and rain.
However, this did not prevent the Bognor from enjoying the change of scenery. Although the American Greensomes competition was shortened to 16 holes, some of the ladies did complete 18 as conditions improved.
The winning team was Nicki Vincent and Edwina Beresford. Second were Jane Russell and Caroline Pilbeam and third June Salt and Lin Harbutt.
The Grannies Tot competition was well populated. All were keen to show that being a granny doesn’t mean you are armchair-bound.
Conditions were challenging with high winds but some good scores were produced. The winner was Sue Sidebotham with a magnificent 42 points.
Second was Sally Cameron with 39, third Sheila Sargeant with 38 and fourth Val Robertson with 34. Nearest the pin prizes were won by Elaine Conisbee on the second and Sue Davies on the tenth.
Captain Chris Hickling’s Dream Challenge featured 22 teams of men, ladies and mixed teams taking on the ‘Dream Team’ featuring club secretary James Maclean, vice-captain Norman Lee, club professional Matt Kirby and Hickling himself.
Results: Winners - Cameron Lang, Roy Tidy, Chris Johnson and Alan Entecott 88pts; 2 Chris Hickling, Norman Lee, Matthew Kirby, James Maclean 87; 3 Liam Maskell, Shaun Maskell, Gary Maskell and Jordan Vincent 86 cb.
This meant only one team managed to beat the captain’s team.
Bognor’s seniors crossed the Solent for their annual trip to Sandown & Shanklin. The day started with a full English breakfast after arriving at Sandown & Shanklin.
The game was a ding-dong affair with Sandown going into 3-1 lead after four pairs. Bognor staged a brief comeback but Sandown went into a 4-2 lead, but Bognor’s last two pairs, Steve King and Mike Matthews and Mike Oates and Dave Chalmers both won their pairs to make the overall result 4-4.
It was a super day out with Sandown excellent hosts.
Results: Gary Steventon & Mike Wadley halved, Frank Hodder & Clive Millett lost 7&5, Barry Vanstone & Ian Bright lost 3&2, Roger Selway & Rob Walker halved, Ron Stevens & Andy Isitt won 3&2, David Turner & Trevor Till lost 2 down, Steve King & Mike Matthews won 3&2, Mike Oates & David Chalmers won 2&1.
Bognor entertained Hayling Golf Club. It was one of those days for Bognor as everything clicked into place and they ran out 6½-1½ winners.
Senior captain Jim Catt and partner Mike Matthews went six up after 12 holes and won convincingly. Mention must be made of Bognor’s Mike Oates and Dave Chalmers who sank four birdies in four holes to go into an unassailable three-up lead.
Bognor’s last pairing, after being one up most of the round, lost their match on the last green.
Results: Chris Hickling & Frank Hodder won 4&2, Terry Kuhler & David Turner won 3&2, Andy isitt & Barry Forey won 3&1, Steve King & Jim Stephenson halved, Jim Catt & Mike Matthews won 6&5, Peter Lott & Clive Millett won 2 up, Mike Oates & David Chalmers won 3&2, Ray Leggett & Roger Selway lost 1 down.
The men’s midweek Stableford attracted 55 players on a very blustery day. The winner with an excellent 40 points was Terry Kuhler. Second with 37 was Peter Selby, slowly coming back into some good form after a poor year to date. In third place with 36 was John Harnett, who is showing signs of form.

Selsey slide out of cup ... Midhurst sink the Saints

www.chichester.co.uk

Selsey slipped out of the RUR Cup in a home defeat to Langney - but Midhurst had success on the road.
Read about the latest matches involving our local SCFL division-one teams below - and in the Observer every week.
Selsey 0 Langney Wands 2
RUR Cup round two
Blues boss Steve Bailey predicted a tough test against Langney – and was proved right as the visitors progressed to the next round in a classic game of two halves.
Selsey welcomed back keeper Jordan Smith and Toby Lempriere and started with the wind at their backs.
Midhurst scored again on 80 minutes when, from Luke Sheldrick’s header, Oli Lee’s pace got him to the ball before the keeper and he powered home their fifth.
There were injuries to two Langney defenders in the opening 20 minutes – but one of the replacements, Reece Shaw, would have a decisive effect later on.
After 32 minutes, good link-up play between Lindon Miller, Joe Clarke and Joe Manners saw Miller cross. Keeper Graham Leach parried it to Tom Groom, who shot straight at the only defender on the line and the ball was cleared for a corner.
Had James Kilhams and Jordan Lillywhite got more on headers in front of goal they would have put Selsey ahead.
Langney were content to slow the game down and it was obvious they wanted to go in at half-time without conceding. In fact, they should have scored when during a goalmouth scramble Howard Low cleared off the line for Selsey.
The visitors came out in the second half with more purpose. However, at times their enthusiasm got the better of them and they tried referee Kevin Dawson’s patience.
Five of their players found their names taken. Joe Manners was the only Selsey player to have his name taken.
The half was ten minutes old when the visitors got themselves in front. Good play down the righte saw the ball delivered to the far post where Shaw got in front of the defenders to nod home.
Three minutes later the same thing happened and again Shaw reacted first to put Langney 2-0 up.
Subs Ciaran McGreal, Matt Boulton and Cameron Corell were brought on by Selsey but the hosts tried to force things too much and found passes going out of play.
Langney’s Paul Rogers, in midfield, seemed in control of most things. Selsey kept going until the end but they could not trouble Leach.
Manager Bailey felt too many of his side had not managed to keep their performances at the levels of the previous few weeks.
He said: “We have a bunch of good-quality young players who will get better and better. We would be wrong to expect them to perform at the top level all the time and I will expect there to be one or two dips in form and performance from time to time.
“We may have to change the team around at times so we don’t put too much pressure on the younger players.”
St Francis Rangers 1 Midhurst 5
RUR Cup
A comfortable win and progress to the next round of the RUR Cup was achieved by Midhurst.
The home side, following their relegation from the premier division, are in the early stages of rebuilding the club and could only muster 11 players for this game.
This was reflected in a totally dominant first-half performance from the visitors with four goals in a 14-minute spell.
Following some missed chances Midhurst took the lead with a goal on 23 minutes from Lewis Hamilton after good work from George Morris. Hamilton became provider on 30 minutes with a cross that Gary Norgate powerfully headed home.
Two minutes later Hamilton and Scott Dormer combined to set up Morris for the third, then on 37 minutes the same player took advantage of a defensive blunder to score his second and Midhurst’s fourth.
In the second half Midhurst took their foot off the gas and St Francis created two decent opportunities. The first came following a corner when a header was put over the bar and second when a cross from the left should have been converted at the far post.
Midhurst scored again on 80 minutes when, from Luke Sheldrick’s header, Oli Lee’s pace got him to the ball before the keeper and he powered home their fifth.
St Francis scored a consolation when from an innocuous free-kick, keeper Aaron Jeal, a virtual spectator most of the game, allowed the ball to bounce off his shins and Luis McAuliffe bundled home.
MIDHURST: Jeal, Hunt, May, Grantham, Casselton, Hamilton, Hyde (Martin 60), Morris (Sheldrick 60), Lee, Dormer, Norgate (Stevens 70).

Investigation into death of soldier killed by friendly fire almost complete
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
The findings of an investigation into the death of a British soldier are expected to be released next month.
Lance Corporal James Brynin, 22, who was born in Shoreham and lived in Pulborough, was shot and killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2013.
At an inquest held in March of this year, fellow British soldier Lance Corporal of Horse Mark Kelly said he had fired the fatal shot believing his target was a Taliban insurgent.
The inquest at Chichester was adjourned by West Sussex senior coroner Penelope Schofield under Rule 25(4) of the Coroners and Justice Act 2015, which states: “a coroner must adjourn an inquest...if during the course of the inquest, it appears to the coroner that the death of the deceased is likely to have been due to a homicide offence and that a person may be charged in relation to the offence.”
The case was referred to the Service Prosecuting Authority (SPA), which is expected to publish its findings at the end of September, a pre inquest review hearing in Chichester today was told.
Nicholas Moss, counsel for the Ministry of Defence who is representing LcoH Kelly, said via a conference call: “We have been informed that the SIB (Special Investigations Branch) have themselves reviewed, as part of the victim’s right to review, and my understanding is that that particularly task has been finished.
“That means a report arriving from that and all the evidence of that and future evidence of an inquest is being considered by the SPA.
“We understand that review is going to be heard this week or next week, and that means the window when a submission decision is going to be made is over two weeks, starting from September 19.
“The prosecution authority is likely to be able to come to an outcome of the process from Monday, September 19 to Friday, September 30.
“I should mention that the binary outcome will be either to prosecute or not, and if there’s not to be a prosecution, there would be a direction explaining that by the SPA.”
Mr Moss added that it was likely to take the SPA a further week to put its decision in writing to the coroners’ office.
If there is a decision not to prosecute, the adjourned inquest would be opened again, and a provisional date for its resumption was made to start on January 16, and last either two or three days.
Lance Corporal Brynin, 22, known to his friends as Jay, died in Helmand Province on Tuesday October 15, 2013.
At the time of his death he lived in Pulborough, and he is the first soldier from the village to have lost his life since 1948.

PICTURE: Car on fire outside Butlins

A flaming car outside the entrance of Butlins could have caused problems for holidaymakers arriving at the site.
A spokesperson for West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said they were called to reports of the car fire at the entrance to Butlins holiday camp in Bognor Regis, on the A259 roundabout.
They sent one fire engine to the scene at 6.10pm yesterday and said the car, a blue Mercedes, was well alight on arrival.
There were no reports of any injuries, and the fire was extinguished using two breathing apparatus and two high pressure hose reels, they said.
The fire crew left the scene at just before 6.40pm and said the cause was accidental ignition.
West Sussex County Council’s Resilience and Emergencies team was also at the scene, and took a picture of the flaming vehicle.

Middleton miss T20 prize ... Extras top-score for Pagham
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Middleton were in league and T20 action while other sides concentrate on just the league. And there was an afternoon to forget for Pagham’s batsmen.
Here are the latest reports from our local Sussex League division-two teams.
Horsham fielded a side containing five current or ex-county players, with first starts in the tournament this season for Will Beer and George Garton.
Three Bridges v Middleton
Division two
Middleton drove into a storm on their way to Three Bridges – and arrived to find a waterlogged ground.
Hard work by the players meant the umpires were happy the ground was fit for a T20 game.
The league rules state that where insufficient time is available for a normal game, the teams can play a T20 which sees the winner awarded 20 points and the loser ten.
Skipper Sean Heather won the toss and invited Three Bridges to bat first.
The score had moved to 32 before Beck Hemingway caught opener Conor Golding off Brandon Hanley for 16. A partnership of 41 followed between Ian Church and Victor Davies.
Matt Reynolds broke through with a wicket off the very first ball of his first over, the 12th of the game, having Davies caught by Jamie Thompson for 13.
The Middleton bowlers dominated from that point and at the end of their 20 overs Three Bridges finished on 114 for eight. Only opener Church with 56 really made any impression. Pick of the Middleton bowlers was Heather with three for 13 off his three overs.
In reply Middleton opened with Heather and Hemingway. Heather was in a mood to get things finished quickly and scored an unbeaten 88 seeing his side home in the 13th over two wickets down. His 88 included nine fours and seven sixes.
Middleton v Horsham
County League T20 final
For the second season running Middleton reached the league T20 final and they were backed by good numbers of fans at Hove.
Horsham fielded a side containing five current or ex-county players, with first starts in the tournament this season for Will Beer and George Garton. Garton featured for England under-19s last season against the touring Australians.
Horsham won the toss and elected to bat. Tom Johnson got his side away to an explosive start hitting the first two balls of the second over for six.
Beer gave a tough chance to a diving Beck Hemingway early in his innings but when Johnson was first out with the score on 90 his own contribution was 62 from just 32 balls.
There was a flurry of wickets with Beer next to go, caught by Hemingway off Jamie Thompson.
Next to go was Jofra Archer, playing against his old club, for just one – he was caught off Will Searle – and when Garton was bowled by Thompson for just two with the score on 96 for four it looked like a game might be on.
Michael Thornley, having played for, among others both Sussex and Leicestershire in his first-class career had different ideas however and saw his side to a total of 161 at the end of the 20th over, unbeaten on 47. All the Middleton bowlers bowled well with Thompson (3-33) the pick.
Middleton opened with Heather and Hemingway. Horsham’s attack opened with the Sussex duo of Archer and Garton, and in his first over Garton bowled Heather for one.
Hemingway was caught for nought and Will Burrows bowled for five, and when Ben Ferbrache was fourth man out for 16 the score was just 36.
Middleton never really recovered but spirited batting by all their batsmen saw them finish on 108 for nine at the end of their 20 overs. Patrick Colvin 16 and Thompson with 21 were their main scorers.
Pagham v Ansty
Division two
Pagham’s poor season turned into a nightmare against Ansty.
At 2.45pm Ansty were 95 for nine and Pagham might well have had ideas of a win. However, Ansty’s last-wicket pair of Jake Wilson (70no) and Glenn Anason (54no) put on 134 to change the face of the game.
Ansty declared at 229 for nine after 52 overs – only Peter Cotterill (5-79) and Tom Kent (3-40) came out with any credit.
If Pagham thought things couldn’t get any worse they were wrong as they were bowled out in 9.4 overs for an embarrassing 23 – of which 13 were extras.
Jake Wilson fisnished with six for seven and Jethro Menzies four for three. Wayne Green top scored for Pagham for the first time in three years ... with four runs, the only boundary.
Pagham go to Lindfield on Saturday hoping for a massive improvement.
Eastbourne v Bognor
Division two
Losing the toss at the Saffrons, Bognor fielded first and toiled as Jacob Smith and Dan Wells put on 106 for the first wicket.
However, a quick double from Richard Cox accounted for both openers and Eastbourne promptly capitulated to 156-7 as Charlie Hunter and Rob Willway had success.
A rapid 36 from David Twine, supported by 15-year-old Alastair Orr (41*), saw Eastbourne reach 219-8, Willway finishing with 3-58.
In Bognor’s reply, Mike Harris and Willway fell to Ben Twine but Zayne Bux and Max Ashmore rebuilt, the latter facing a barrage of short balls from the Eastbourne seamers, doing his best to swallow a particularly nasty bumper in the process, leaving a fairly impressive bruise on his throat.
Ryan Maskell’s rapid 56 put Bognor in a commanding position as he took a particular liking to the spin of Delray Rawlins.
Twine accounted for Ashmore (78) and Maskell in the same over and a flurry of wickets in near-darkness meant Bognor finished on 202-8, the draw a fair result.
Bognor 2nd XI v Southwater 2nd XI
2nd XI div three west
On a blustery day at the Regis Oval, Bognor’s lively skipper Josh Broad won the toss and elected to field as the hosts looked to gain some end-of-season momentum.
Dan Winslow made merry combining swing and seam to nip out Southwater’s top order and to claim a season’s-best four for 30.
Middle-order resistance for the visitors came from James Cooper with 54 but Bognor’s burly all-rounder Sam Adams zipped in to grab two for 22 and with the finishing touches being applied by the bullish Elliott Clarke with three for 28 with his zippy leg-breaks, Southwater were 147 all out.
Bognor’s reply came with the usual fireworks from Adams as he battered a brisk 25 but it was skipper Broad’s dashing blade that saw the hosts home with a fine 74 not out containing 12 fours.
Winning by eight wickets, the Bognor boys are looking to finish the season strongly.

Kayal excited ahead of ‘massive’ away trip
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Albion midfielder Beram Kayal looked ahead to tomorrow’s Championship trip to Newcastle United and said: “It’s one of our biggest games this season.”
Brighton travel to St James’ Park in a league fixture for the first time since 1992 looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season.
Chris Hughton’s side sit second in the table having collected two wins and two draws from their four Championship games so far this season.
However, Saturday’s tea-time clash with relegated Newcastle provides them with their biggest test to date.
Toon boss Rafa Benitez remained at Newcastle this summer and has added several quality additions.
Kayal is expecting a tough test and said: “I think it’s going to be one of our biggest games. We need to be ready, focused and know our strengths.
“We go into it with a lot of confidence, we respect Newcastle and know they have big players and a big manager with a lot of experience but we are going to do a job.”
Having played in Champions League matches and Old Firm derbies for Celtic, Kayal has experienced some great atmospheres.
Saturday will be his first outing at St James’ Park and he said: “It’s going to be massive. I have heard a lot about this stadium. It’s a massive club, massive fans, so it’s going to be a great atmosphere, great experience for all of us and hopefully we will go to them and get the result we want.
“It’s not going to be easy but professional players love the challenge against these teams. We have done everything this week in preparation to be ready.”
Liam Rosenior will be missing for the game following an ankle injury picked up at Reading, while Hughton is yet to make a decision on Dale Stephens’ place in the matchday squad.

VIDEO: Lightning bolts home to claim Celebration Mile at Goodwood

Sorry, we're having problems with our video player at the moment, but are working to fix it as soon as we can
Lightning Spear bolted to Celebration Mile glory at Goodwood - now it could be next stop Champions’ Day at Ascot.
The 4/1 shot, trained by David Simcock, beat a strong set of four rivals to win the Doom Bar-sponsored feature race on day two of Goodwood’s August bank holiday festival.
Simcock is now thinking of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at October’s Champions’ Day.
The five-year-old had not won since June 2015, but came from last place to secure a length-and-three-quarters success in the £110,000 Group 2 contest.
Lightning Spear benefitted from a fine Oisin Murphy ride that left Zonderland and Frankie Dettori in second and Arod third.
The favourite, Sir Michael Stoute’s Thikriyaat, was a disappointing last after failing to get into reckoning from the word go.

Simcock said of Lightning Spear: “We’ve always known what a good horse he is but things haven’t gone right for him. I feel sorry for the horse because he has so much talent, but he’s only really been let go twice. He didn’t show up in the Sussex and at Deauville, it was a messy race run on tacky ground.
“I will aim him towards Ascot now and it will be the QEII. I’ve always said he’s the best miler we’ve had and I believe that next year he will show his true potential.”

It was a hot and often hunid afternoon on the Downs as another big crowd packed into the racecourse to enjoy the action.
I’ve always said he’s the best miler we’ve had and I believe that next year he will show his true potential. Lightning Spear’s trainer David Simcock
The opener, the Absolute Aesthetics Maiden Fillies’ Stakes, went to 11/1 chance Tara Celeb, ridden by John Egan for Mick Channon, beating Money In My Pocket by a neck.
The afternoon’s first Group race, the Group 3 Prestige Stakes,m went to the first time to trainer Mark Johnston, who saw Franny Norton hold off the challenge of Sean Levery on Promising for a 5/1 success on Kilmah.
Andrea Atzeni prevailed in the Goodwood Revival Stakes on the Roger Varian-trained Certificate, the 7/2 favourite, in another close finish.
Atzeni completed a quickfire double by riding Platitude - tipped on this website - to victory in the Lewis Badges 1832 March Stakes as a 13/8 favourite for Stoute.
Quebee was a 9/2 winner of the Whiteley Clinic Stakes for jockey Martin Harley and trainer Clive Cox -who’d only just missed out on the day’s big prize as the trainer of Zonderland - and there was a win in the Golf Academy At Goodwood Stakes for Sussex trainer Gary Moore as Hector Crouch rode Guns of Leros first home at 5/2.
The holiday weekend festival concludes on Sunday, when the Supreme Stakes is the big race at 4.20pm.
Tips for Sunday: 2.05 Carducci, 2.35 Gabster, 3.10 In The Red, 3.45 Pink Ribbon, 4.20 So Beloved, 4.55 Myopic, 5.30 Kiringa.

TRAFFIC UPDATE: Motorway reopens after bridge collapse
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Sussex motorists who are travelling to Kent can now use the M20 motorway after it reopened following a bridge collapse.
Highways England said the northbound lanes were fully reopened and two out of three of the southbound lanes had reopened after being closed between junctions one and four for more than a day.
The collision on the M20 is causing problems for anyone driving to Kent. Picture: Eddie Mitchell
The closure comes after a lorry struck a footbridge in Kent yesterday, causing it to collapse. Read more here.
Prior to the reopening, Highways England south east operations manager Gary Coleman said everything was being done to reopen the motorway again, but safety had to come first both for workers and drivers.
“We are facing a real challenge to lift two HGVs and a motorbike clear of the scene and deal with all of the rubble from the collapsed bridge strewn across both carriageways. “There is also the issue of the remaining part of the footbridge, which is still in place over the coast-bound side of the motorway. We have crews on scene ready to take action as soon as the police have completed their investigation. We also have cranes en route and lighting so work can continue through the night.
“We are doing everything we can to safely reopen the motorway, but we’d ask drivers to please bear with us as this is a complex operation and it will take time and skill to complete. We’ll keep everyone updated.”

Half A Sixpence stars perform at Chichester care home
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Leading cast members from the musical comedy Half a Sixpence took time out from their critically-acclaimed run at Chichester Festival Theatre to perform at the city’s newest care home.
Charlie Stemp, who plays orphan and central character Arthur Kipps, was joined by fellow actors Emma Williams and Devon-Elise Johnson to entertain residents at nearby Wellington Grange with songs and stories from the show.
Halcyon McLaren, 95, said: “We were thrilled to have them here. It was just like they were on stage. We wish we could have given them a standing ovation but as many of us are wobbly on our feet we will settle for giving them one with our hearts.”
The exclusive performance was arranged under a partnership between CFT and family-owned Colten Care, which runs Wellington Grange.
The aim of the partnership is to bring interactive theatre experiences directly into the home, while offering residents, families and friends priority access to events and tickets at CFT.
Emily Hudson, activities organiser at Wellington Grange, said: “Theatre has been a big part of many of our residents’ lives. The Half A Sixpence visit was not only about giving those going to the show a sneak preview.

“It also meant that some residents who are unable to physically go the theatre could enjoy a version of their own with friends and family right here at Wellington Grange and with the real cast.”
Vicky Gregory, corporate manager at CFT, said: “The partnership with Wellington Grange is unique for us as a theatre.
“The Half A Sixpence visit was just the first of a number of bespoke events we are planning to create for the residents. The cast members were really excited about meeting them and performing.”
Half a Sixpence opened in Chichester in July and runs at CFT until Saturday, September 3.

Midfielder Holla released by Brighton
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Midfielder Danny Holla has left Albion after the club and player agreed to mutually terminate his contract.
The 28-year-old Dutch midfielder did have a year left to run on a three-year deal, signed when he joined Albion in 2014 on a free transfer from Den Haag.
He has played in Albion’s two EFL Cup fixtures against Colchester and Oxford this season but had limited other first-team opportunities.
Seagulls boss Chris Hughton said: “With the options and competition we have in midfield, Danny has found his chances very limited, and that situation is unlikely to change.
“It hasn’t really worked out as Danny or the club had hoped. That can sometimes happen in football, but what I can say is that he has been really professional in his approach and his attitude to training has been first class throughout my time as manager.
“He works hard in training, and he has been ready to play when needed, but those times have been far too infrequent for his liking, and at this stage of his career he wants to be playing regular football, so this is the right move for the club and player.”
Holla scored once in 33 appearances for the club.

New album for Chichester graduate
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
University of Chichester graduate Joe Perkins tries to capture a little bit of chaotic Quo in his new album.
Joe, who studied commercial music graduating in 2012, has long been a huge Status Quo fan: he first saw them, aged ten, in Bristol 16 years ago.
“And I have seen them with the modern line-up loads of times, always the perfect Quo. But then they played with their original line-up, and they were just all over the place in terms of the timing and the notes, but in terms of the musicality, they were just so exciting.
“They had the danger back, and it was just so much better for not being perfect, and I think that is one of the lessons I have learnt.
“You record a song and then you can edit it and edit it until it is perfect, but that’s not necessarily the best way to do it.
“You want the edge, which is what Quo had. They looked terrified! But that nervous energy made it the best Quo show I’d ever seen. It was so much more exciting for being edgy and dangerous. It was four humans all playing together with the whole thing likely to implode at any point. It was pure rock & roll!
“We are human beings. We are not perfect. We all make mistakes. With technology, you can make it perfect, but you lose the fact that we are all musicians playing together. It’s about the spontaneous things that can happen, and that’s what I have wanted to capture.
“There are little mistakes, but the album is what I sound like when I play the guitar. And it is the first album I haven’t done in a recording studio. I did it in the dining room at home. It was about giving free rein to the music.”
It was while he was at Chichester that Joe did his first album: “It was a very good course, but for me the most important thing was the studio facilities that we could book out. The course was very wide-ranging, but in your spare time you could get into the studio and having the studio was great. You got taught all the basics of making a record, but then you could develop it all further.
“I did my first album then which I released free online. So many people had got involved and given their time for free that it wouldn’t have been right to try to sell it.
“It was call Host of Other Artists. It was all songs I had written and played pretty much every instrument, but it was other people doing the lead vocals. I did some backing vocals, but I am not strong enough a singer to do the lead vocals.”
Now comes the new album, purely instrumental. Double Denim is released on Friday, September 2, as a vinyl + CD bundle (limited to 300 copies) and as a download – both available from joeperkins.co.uk. Both are priced at £7.99.
“Releasing the album on vinyl isn’t purely nostalgic,” Joe says. “Sure, I personally prefer buying music as a physical entity and enjoying it as a piece of art, and I think vinyl is the best for that.
“But the audio is actually much higher definition than the CD and has a more dynamic master. You’ll have to turn it up a bit, but it sounds more natural. Nowadays we all need to own our music digitally too, so with the enclosed CD you get that as well.
“So that’s Double Denim. There’s rock; bluegrass; ballads; a snare drum with far too much reverb on it; potentially the world’s loudest cajón; an army of pots and pans; an outrageous amount of guitars; a sense of humour; and real human musicians playing their instruments.
“And who else gives you all that on an outdated format from the 1930s?”

Pocognoli joins Brighton on season-long loan
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Albion signed Belgium international defender Sebastien Pocognoli from West Brom on a season-long loan last night.
The 29-year-old left back adds competition to Brighton’s full-back areas, with Gaetan Bong the only recognised senior left-back in the squad, while Liam Rosenior missed the Newcastle game with the ankle injury he sustained at Reading.
Albion boss Chris Hughton said: “We are delighted to add Sebastien to our squad, as the injury to Liam has left us a little bit short of cover in both full-back positions.
“Sebastien has a vast amount of experience having played in some of the top divisions in Europe, as well as in the Champions League. He is the type of quality player we want to add to the squad, and we are looking forward to working with him.”
Pocognoli began his career in the youth team at Standard Liege before moving to Genk at the age of 15.

Littlehampton: in fond memory of Joe
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Littlehampton’s Edwin James Festival Choir remembers fondly one of its finest at its forthcoming concert performance of One Sun, One World, an environmentally-themed work by Peter Rose and Anne Conlon.
Spokeswoman Madeleine Wadley said: “Commissioned by the World Wide Fund for their 50th anniversary, One Sun, One World has an environmental theme that reaches out with a message of hope for the future of the natural world and humanity’s place within it. The musical takes the audience on a journey through the great forces of earth, the power of the sun, the ocean tides, wind patterns, the miracle of rainfall and a web of cold and heat.
“One Sun, One World has been chosen as a musical memorial for Joe Costa, a larger-than-life, well-loved member of the choir and Littlehampton local community who lost his battle for life in February.
“Joe was born in Singapore in March 1940 during the Japanese occupation and was the youngest of five children. His father was Spanish and a civil engineer who had been posted to Singapore prior to the war and unable to return to Spain. He met Joe’s Vietnamese mother while travelling. She was very strict with her children to protect them from the soldiers and died ensuring they had food daily. Joe remembered little about Singapore except the Japanese encampment near the village where he lived, Jalan Seyom. Joe spoke several languages – Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and English and was looked after by his step-sis. They immediately took him out of education and used him as a household servant. When his sister returned she sent Joe back into full-time education under the care of a French priest at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd.
“Joe lived there and served at services held in Latin, later gaining work experience as a messenger and later in a shoe shop. Joe wanted to emigrate and the priest encouraged him to save hard for his journey and kindly gave him half the money. At the age of 15, Joe finally secured what proved to be a traumatic sea passage, alone but befriended by a Vietnamese man. Joe had met an Englishwoman prior to his departure who had him encouraged to visit Newcastle-upon-Tyne to see her parents. His journey took him via Genoa, Marseilles, Dunkirk, Dieppe, Dover and finally a train to Newcastle. On arrival he discovered the Englishwoman was staying at her parents home and they set about making a safe life for Joe, helped him secure a job at the Royal Station Hotel and wanted to adopt him.
“Joe Costa met his future wife Eva at a dance hall in 1960 and within six months of meeting they were married. In 1966 they moved to Colchester where they lived for 38 years where Joe worked as an engineer. Following redundancy the couple set up tea rooms which they ran for several years before moving to Selwyn Avenue in Wick in 1995 with Joe obtaining work at Euro-therm and Eva at Hi-Tech. Joe retired at the age of 68 due to ill health. He loved his family, his many friends, gardening (winning awards in the Littlehampton Town Garden Competitions), cooking - famed for his curries, profiteroles and lemon drizzle cake. Joe and Eva attended Wick Chapel for a few years and then Parkside Evengelical Church where he played in the music group.”
James Rushman, musical director for the Edwin James Festival Choir, said: “Joe and Eva joined the choir seventeen years ago. Our motto is Music is Life and it certainly was for Joe who not only sang but played the oboe, clarinet and keyboard. He became very accomplished and joined The Littlehampton Town Concert Band and the music group at the church. Joe was small in stature but big in heart. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him and he will be remembered by all who met him as a gentle man with a big heart. He loved the choir, his music, the concert band and was a loyal friend. His big smile, Geordie/Asian accent and tam-o-shanter will long remain in the memory of all who knew him, not to mention his famed lemon drizzle cake.”
The Edwin James Festival Choir will be performing One Sun, One World on Saturday, August 27 at the Parkside Evangelical Church at 4pm. There is no admission charge but there will be a retiring collection in aid of St Barnabas Hospice. All are welcome.
The Edwin James Festival Choir rehearse every Wednesday evening from 7.30pm at St James’s Church Hall, East Ham Road, Littlehampton, and prospective members of all ages are welcome to visit. More information from www.edwinjamesfestivalchoir.co.uk. The choir is currently rehearsing the Faure Requiem, Goodall’s Every Purpose Under the Heaven as well as Rock Nativity by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent.

Perfect house if you pine for space
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Mature Scots pines are a remarkable landscape feature in their native land, never mind on the south coast of England.
So when majestic specimens grace a property, what better way to mark the fact than by naming it after them.
After all, Pine Lodge at Mengham on Hayling Island is a very special place in its own right.
It also boasts a real feeling of space that’s enhanced by the plantation shutters on the open plan living space and the study/fourth bedroom, believes Anne-Marie Green, of Fine and Country Emsworth.
“The flow of air and light that this allows throughout is lovely,” explained Anne-Marie. “They are also a great security feature, and combined with the gated entrance give an enhanced level of security that makes this a great lock-up-and-leave house for those who like to travel.
“I also believe that not every buyer who seeks a large house want to share it with a huge number of people. Sometimes, it’s an indulgence just for themselves or a small family.”
The ten-year-old house is thoroughly contemporary, with zoned underfloor heating and many other desirable features, while offering more than 2,700sqft of space but only three bedrooms on the first floor, one with en-suite shower room and the others adjacent to a luxuriously-appointed bathroom.
On the ground floor there is option of a fourth bedroom, currently used as a study, plus a shower room in a wet room style, as well as a huge living space that incorporates sitting, dining, and kitchen areas.
“The feeling of openness allows you to appreciate that this is a house that wants you to relax. The plantation shutters do for this house what they do in the tropics and integrate the house with its external surroundings,” added Anne-Marie.
“There are features such as wiring for a sound system that are very modern while the feature heat and glow log effect fire in the sitting area gives the traditional warmth so many of us want to find on colder days.
“The dining area blends seamlessly into the kitchen, with black gloss furniture, granite work surfaces and a wealth of appliances, including the five ring induction hob that so many serious cooks covet.”
Outside, the house has a 100ft brick-paved driveway with areas of lawn to each side of the detached garage block and the three mature Scots pines from which the house derives its name.
There is also ample decking accessed from several sets of sliding doors into the house and even cabling for an external whirlpool bath.
Guide Price £750,000.

COUNTY NEWS: Police identify five men who died off Sussex coast
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Five men who died off the coast of Sussex this week have now been named by police.
They are Kenugen Saththiyanathan, 18, and his brother Kobikanthan Saththiyanathan, 22, both of Normandy Way, Erith.
Their friends Nitharsan Ravi, 22, of Admaston Road, Plumstead, Inthushan Sriskantharaja, 23, of Chadwell Road, Grays and Gurushanth Srithavarajah, 27, of Elsa Road, Welling, also died in the tragic incident.
Police say the men all travelled together to Camber Sands for the day on Wednesday (August 24) where they sadly died. Their deaths have now been passed to the coroner.
Ajirthan Ravi told national media his brother Nitharsan was studying aeronautical engineering at the University of Brighton and was just about to start his second year.
RNLI lifeguards will be patrolling Camber Sands over the Bank Holiday weekend, following the tragic deaths.
The RNLI, working with Rother District Council, says it aims to provide reassurance to the public by providing the temporary service.
A spokesperson for the RNLI said: “The charity will provide a team of five or six lifeguards and appropriate equipment over the Bank Holiday weekend (Saturday – Monday) 9am-6pm on Camber Sands who will work alongside the Local Authority Beach Patrol teams.
“The Royal National Lifeboat Institution offered to provide lifeguards over the weekend and the council accepted our offer.
“In addition to the lifeguard service the RNLI will also be providing a face-to-face team who will be on hand to provide key safety information to all visitors at the beach.”
A Rother District Council spokesman said: “We very much welcome and appreciate the support the RNLI are offering to provide a temporary lifeguard service.
“People are understandably concerned in the light of the tragic incident at the beach this week and this service will provide reassurance to the public in one of the busiest weekends of the year at Camber.
“We continue to work with the RNLI, the emergency services and other partners to identify any additional measures we might need to introduce at the beach in the future.”
The RNLI added: “The RNLI provides lifeguard cover on over 240 beaches throughout the UK. The lifeguards are there to provide safety cover and advice and we would advise anyone who is not familiar with the area to come and chat with the lifeguard.
“Before visiting the coast you can visit www.RNLI.org/respectthewater”

Film review: Cell (3 out of 5)
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Most of us have a mobile phone. We use it every day to keep in touch with work, friends and family and find out what’s going on in the world.
But what if the phone signal was used to scramble people’s brains, turning them into murdering savages?
That’s the basic plot of Cell.
In a cracking start to the movie, John Cusack plays Clay Riddell, an artist who is trying to contact his son and estranged wife while waiting at an airport.
All of a sudden everyone using a mobile phone hears a high pitched sound that turns them into homicidal maniacs; luckily Riddell’s battery has packed up.
Although not dead, these people act like all the zombies you’ve ever seen in movies, running around until someone actually does kill them.
Riddell manages to escape and teams up with a motley crew of people including Tom McCourt (Samuel L. Jackson) and Alice Maxwell (Isabelle Fuhrman).
Director Tod Williams serves up plenty of action, raising the tension, adding a few jump shocks and generally keeping the audience on the edge of its seat.
The final third may well split the audience into those happy with how the story goes and those who are disappointed.
I was OK with the final scenes but if you like all the loose ends tied up neatly then you’ll be frustrated.
The main cast all put in a good shift and it’s a particularly good role for Cusack.
The fact that the story is based on a Stephen King novel will attract an audience and at least give people a chance to make their own judgement on the film.

Goodwood bank-holiday festival off to fantastic, fiery start
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A beautiful summer’s evening was the perfect backdrop to the start of Goodwood’s long weekend of racing and family fun.
Thousands flocked to the Downs to see a six-race card and holiday entertainment including a spectacular fireworks display.
The weather could not have been better and officials will be hoping that continues on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, when thousands more will watch the action and lap up the accompanying entertainment.
On the track, there was more Goodwood success for trainer Michael Bell - still basking in the glow of Big Orange’s second successive Goodwood Cup win a month ago - as Clear Evidence (5/4 fav) won the Butlin’s Stakes with James Doyle on board.
That was one of two races won by the favourite. Another in the same vein was the Chichester Observer Maiden Stakes, taken by Rab Havlin on Khalidi (6/5 fav) for trainer John Gosden.
The evening, and in fact the whole festival, began with Quite A Story taking the Nyetimber Apprentice Handicap at 6/1 under Charlie Bennett for Patrick Chamings.
Saturday’s highlight is the Celebration Mile but there are two other group races and some competitive handicaps across both remaining days.
The 2015 champion apprentice jockey and 2016 Goodwood ambassador Tom Marquand gave trainer Richard Hannon another Downs success by riding Procurator (3/1) to victory in the Doom Bar Nursery Handicap.
Jockey Ted Durcan and trainer Sir Michael Stoute took the Breeders Backing Racing EBF Fillies’ Stakes with 15/8 chance Rostova in a photo finish, edging out Laugh Aloud and Doyle.
The evening’s racing ended with a well-timed surge to victory by Franny Norton on Little Miss Kodi (4/1) for trainer Daniel Loughnane in the Ultimate Driving Stakes.
Throughout the meeting the crowd enjoyed live music and other sideshows as the racecourse was transformed into a seaside resort from days gone by - with everything from deck chairs to beach huts and ice cream kiosks.
The fireworks that ended the night were every bit as stunning - if not even more so - as those seen for the past two years at this fixture and all in all it was the perfect opening to what ought to be a memorable weekend.
Saturday’s highlight is the Celebration Mile but there are two other group races and some competitive handicaps across both remaining days.
Our tips for Saturday: 2.10 Bella Alissa, 2.45 Rich Legacy, 3.20 Mister Universe, 3.55 Platitude, 4.30 Toormore, 5.05 Dawn Mirage, 5.40 Kismet Hardy.
