Art and life in Seaford As a young artist I lived on the edge of the moors in Lancashire. Big skies, high horizons, and a consciousness of weather all filled my thinking. Then I was painting furiously and having three shows a year. Life was full and fun. Thinking I was moving forward I relocated to London and then, slowly, stopped painting other than sporadically. I was still creative and created a design practice that won international awards but my heart still lay in painting. My partner was born in Brighton and wanted to come back to Sussex, where her family have lived for over 300 years or more, so eighteen months ago we found a house and moved to Seaford. Once again my life became dominated by big skies, high horizons and a consciousness of weather – and my painting came back to life. The exhibition in the Crypt in Seaford restarts my exhibiting, my first one man show for 20 years, reflecting a passion rekindled.

From my studio I have worked through concerns that are rooted back in my work of many years but which are finding new vectors in what I see around Seaford. The show is called ‘Breaking Waves’ because the sea in omnipresent, but it is not my only source of inspiration. I love walking around Seaford with a camera, and some of the inspiration is taken from other people’s gardens, resulting in a painting and drawings based around a gorgeous show of poppies in a garden in Fitzgerald Road. My own garden too provides inspiration for a series based on geraniums and their colour. The photographs have formed a body of work on their own so the show will mark the path of transition from image in reality through digital image to the image in the artist’s eye. Waves of colour and creativity surge freely like the sea on Seaford’s shingle. London is a brick and business, no horizon, urban landscape. It does not bring me closer to my muse. Seaford has reconnected me with my art. The exhibition is some 30 pieces of work produced reflecting that reconnection since I came to live here, the calm and beauty of the town, the sea and of course, the Seven Sisters. They are still working their magic and still have yet to emerge through the art. What you will see is still a work in progress, but I hope you will come to see and enjoy, as in part this is my thank you to Seaford for being Seaford. ‘Breaking Waves’ - Patrick Goff Arts@theCrypt Galleries, 23 Church Street Monday 20th - Wednesday 29th March 10.30am - 5pm.

Seaford in the Napoleonic Wars

What living in a rotten borough was like 200 years ago A new book by Rodney Castleden tells the story of Seaford in the French Wars, 1793 to 1815, based on contemporary sources, including historic maps, court books, diaries and newspapers of the time.

Seaford was a town with two parallel histories. Its Cinque Port status gave it unusual privileges, such as the right to send two Members to Parliament, even though only a hundred inhabitants were entitled to vote. Voting was not secret, so voters were often bribed, ‘treated’ or coerced into voting the way candidates or their agents required. Elections were often riotous affairs, with noisy political meetings in pubs – the Pelham Arms, the Old Tree Inn (where Clearwell Mobility now is) and the New Inn (now the Wellington). But there were few other entertainments in Seaford.

It was a poor, run-down place with a lot of open spaces even in the middle of the town. The town stagnated, with a population of just one thousand and only a tenth of those were entitled to vote. Most of the inhabitants were poor farm workers or fishermen. Seaford’s days as a port were really over, yet its links with the sea were still strong and there were some feeble attempts to turn it into a seaside resort. The Napoleonic Wars saw the town militarized, with a large barracks, two batteries, a signal station and a Martello Tower. The 1785 painting, left, shows what Seaford looked like from the southern end of The Causeway. Seaford was important in Westminster power politics, yet the big-name candidates had little interest in doing anything for the town. They deceived, bribed and intimidated their way to power, while the ordinary people of Seaford struggled to make a living. It is a colourful tale of corruption on a grand scale, full of lively personalities. The corrupt bailiff (mayor), Thomas Harben, used his influence to get his 16-yearold son, Thomas Henry Harben, a well-paid government job, and the family installed themselves in some style at Corsica Hall. The son enjoyed drinking and hunting with his friends, the officers from the Barracks, and they regularly trespassed across other people’s farmland; irate farmers successfully took Harben to court for repeated offences. Harben’s wife, Jane, took him to court too, to get a separation on grounds of cruelty and having two illegitimate children with a servant girl called Millicent Muggeridge. The sympathetic judge told Jane she was ‘well justified’ in leaving her husband. The book accompanies an exhibition at Seaford Museum entitled ‘Forlorn & Widowed: Seaford 1815’. Forlorn & Widowed: Seaford in the Napoleonic Wars is on sale at Seaford Museum at £11.95.

SEAFORD CHORAL SOCIETY SPRING CONCERT

been given to Handel but he found it too lengthy. However, Haydn had no such qualms and immediately asked his friend Baron van Swieten to translate it into German for him to begin to compose. Considered by many, including Haydn himself, to be the composer’s greatest achievement, The Creation is a timeless work of towering imagination and genius.

HAYDN The Creation SATURDAY 2nd MAY at 7.30pm St Leonard’s Church, Seaford

From the opening evocation of chaos to the joyful love song of Adam and Eve, and from the depiction of the creation of light to the illustrating of the different animals, Haydn’s musical invention is truly breathtaking. The bold step by the Choir to have a superb trio of soloists, accompanied by Nick Houghton on the harpsichord with a full 21-piece orchestra will help to bring this superb work to life.

First performance since 1984

We are delighted to be performing this joyous work in St Leonard’s Church and we are certain this ever popular piece will be prove to be an unforgettable experience. Under the acclaimed baton of our Conductor and Music Director, Anna Tabor, our performance of Haydn’s evergreen masterpiece, The Creation, will be sung in English.

An experience not to be missed! So hurry and buy your tickets to avoid disappointment, as we are expecting a full house following the successful concert last November.

Franz Joseph Haydn had recently returned to Vienna after a trip to England in 1795, where the impresario Salomon had given him a long libretto called The Creation of the World. It had apparently

Tickets for this concert are £12, and £6 children. These may be obtained from our supporters, Newberry Tully Estate Agents, 52 Church Street Seaford, from Choir members or at the door.

Is there something for everyone here? Rush – the testosteronefuelled story of rivalry in Formula One between James Hunt and Nicki Lauder is a brilliant portrayal of the sport and the men. Followed by a French language film, Two Days and One Night, with a compelling performance by Marion Cotillard about to lose her job and her peace of mind, unless her mates help out. Our last Saturday matinée is the musical masterpiece, The Commitments – a truly comic tale of a struggling Dublin soul band, directed by the one and only Alan Parker.

SEAFORD NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY Come and join us – we start our 2015 season of outdoor meetings on 7th April at Markstakes Common looking for mosses. There is limited parking at Markstakes, so this is a walk for members only. On 21st April Bob Self is leading our spring bird walks, one at 7am from Shooter’s Bottom and the second from Birling Gap at 10am. These walks are open to all. We look forward to seeing members and welcoming visitors and prospective new members. Our outdoor meetings are gentle walks, usually lasting about two and a half hours. They generally take place on Tuesdays – see the listings in Seaford Scene for details. We suggest that visitors make a £1 donation. If you are coming on one of our walks, you may like to know that we have a new safety policy this year. Whilst Sussex doesn’t present many hazards compared with more rugged terrain, the society will be providing information about any hazards where necessary and we will carry a First Aid Kit in case of accidents. That said, the basis of our policy is that safety is everyone’s business. For more information about the society, including its safety policy, please visit our website www. seafordnaturalhistory.org.uk or ring 01323 491964.

Out and about in April

This is one of the best times of the year to get out into the countryside – it feels like everything is springing to life – unless we are hit by a cold spell or late snow! Skylarks are in the air – and nesting on the ground from April through to early August. And the distinctive outline of the Swift can be seen coming in from Africa from the middle of the month. In the ground, Cow Parsley begins to appear on the road and path sides, Lords and Ladies and garlic-smelling Ramsons are in the woods. The clock-faced Moschatel can also be found in the woods but we’ve also seen it beside a bostal (or track) up the Downs escarpment. You’ll find Ground Ivy in many places including in the garden. A search on the web suggests lots of ways of getting rid of ground ivy but actually it is a really good early food source for bees, including the rare anthophora retusa up on Seaford Head – so worth keeping a patch in the garden to draw in the pollinators. And if you’re lucky, you might see early spider orchids between Birling Gap and Beachy Head. These are just

some of the species you can see in April and we are very lucky that there is such an abundance of wildlife in our neighbourhood. In the face of such abundance it is difficult to remember that even here biodiversity continues to decline. Does that matter? The Natural History Museum describes biodiversity as ‘the term used to describe the whole variety of life on Earth. It doesn’t just mean rare species, like giant pandas, areas of high species diversity, such as rainforests, big impressive creatures, like lions, or economically important species, like cod. Biodiversity encompasses the diversity of all living things, from human beings to micro-organisms, the diversity of all the habitats in which they live and the genetic diversity of individuals within a species’. (Natural History Museum http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/ biodiversity/intro-to-biodiversity/index.html). And the Wales Biodiversity Partnership definition adds: • ‘Biodiversity is the building block of ecosystems which provide us with a range of benefits such as food, water and clean air in addition to cultural and health benefits which nature gifts to us for free. • Biodiversity underpins a healthy natural environment. The natural world, its biodiversity and constituent ecosystems are essential to human well-being both directly and indirectly through the multiple benefits provided in supporting the functioning of ecosystems.’ Wales Biodiversity Partnership (http://www. biodiversitywales.org.uk/2/en-GB/BIODIVERSITY) So yes, biodiversity matters. And insignificant creatures, like insects, are at the heart of the matter. Without worms, soil quality would decline and flowers, fruit and vegetables would be the poorer. Without bees, wasps and other insects, plants wouldn’t be pollinated. Without ants, we wouldn’t have green wood peckers and on it goes. Maintaining wild areas in our gardens – for the ground ivy to feed the bees – is important and when we are out in the countryside we need to treat wildlife with respect, even the creepy crawlies – we all depend on them!

Humble Boy

Seaford Little Theatre If this play were a rose it would be a hybrid tea, the type that flowers beautifully for weeks on end but doesn’t necessarily have the embracing fragrance and more fleeting bloom of an old-fashioned variety. Humble Boy must have been a problematic play to direct, its author, Charlotte Jones, writing it in a style hybrid that seems to borrow from Hamlet and Ayckbourn with some of Tom Stoppard’s multi layering, giving this dark comedy lots of laughs, and much to consider in the way of dysfunctional relationships and the eating of humble pie. Ultimately, however, while appreciating the clever and wittily delivered lines, I felt the plot lacks the clarity to satiate all the senses. But enough of the play itself, for this was merely the vehicle that conveyed splendid acting from the cast of six. That the players were prepared to give up three rehearsals a week to develop it is testament to their commitment. It is set in a wonderful garden, for which Ray and Debbie Cox should take a not too humble bow, and director, Cathryn Parker, certainly knew how to nurture her ‘roses’, for flower they did. There was no curtain, so a few minutes before

the start and during the interval the actors could be seen pottering about, setting the scene for a play which required them to learn – and to their credit, remember – a huge number of lines. Stephen Lowin as Felix Humble, back for his father’s funeral, showed great breadth of ability, being as at home with comedy as with his more serious lines. Seaford stalwart, Sylvia Aston, took on the part of Flora, his mother, with skill, believably transferring from shallow and brittle to deeper character as understanding changes her at the play’s end. As her lover, George Pye, Alan Lade once again showed what an asset he is to Seaford, notably with wonderfully timed drunken capering. His feisty daughter, Rosie, one-time lover of Felix who fathered her child, was well played by Clare Forshaw, and Trish Richings as Flora’s friend rightly received an ovation for a very funny key speech. The pivot of the piece, however, is the gardener, feelingly portrayed by Michael Bulman, which brings me back to the brilliant staging, the real star of this production being the set, particularly a stunning beehive that lit up at focal points to illustrate the part that bees play in this odd story. Great atmosphere was conjured by the lighting and sound team, so more applause please for Gary English, Geoff Parker and Roger Hargreaves. Helena Bell did a great job of the costumes. Responsible for the acclaimed The Cemetery Club in 2013, with Humble Boy Parker has again proved herself as a director. I can only conclude with the words of the lady sitting next to me: ‘You’d pay a lot of money to see something as good as this in London.’ Yes, this was Seaford Little Theatre in full bloom.

Rotary Club of Seaford

Young Musician of the Year

On Sunday 1st March, 22 young musicians went along to Seaford Head School to take part in the Rotary Club of Seaford’s Annual Young Musician of the Year competition which this year, for the first time, included a category for ensembles of up to four musicians. The competition aims to give youngsters aged between 11 and 17 the experience of appearing in front of an audience, and the chance to showcase their musical talent, and the audience was treated to an evening of outstanding instrumental and vocal performances. By far the most difficult job fell to the judges, Andrew Daniels, Margaret Darwall Smith and Pat White, who had the unenviable task of deciding the top three soloists and the top ensemble, all of whom received prizes. This year’s soloist winner, who was also presented with the Colin Seymour Memorial Shield, was Matt Flood (drums) and the second and third prizes went to Alfie Preece (piano) and Monique Loosemore (vocalist). The ensemble award went to Dream, who were Helena White (piano), George Maddison (guitar) and Lily Tidey (vocals). There was also an additional encouragement award which was won by Archie Blaber (trumpet) and all the competitors received commemorative certificates. The certificates and prizes were presented by Cllr Terry Goodman, Deputy Mayor of Seaford and Helen Key, the Acting Headteacher of Seaford Head School. The Rotary Club’s Vice President, Peter Fenwick, thanked the judges, as well as Dave Faulkner and Jeff Topp of Seaford Head School, Damon Willer who was MC for the evening, and Seaford Head School for hosting the evening. In addition he thanked last year’s winner Bethany Geoghegan, Phil McMullen and Shana Edwards for providing some excellent additional entertainment while the judges were conferring, Peter congratulated all the competitors and said this was just one of the many ways in which the Rotary Club aims to support the young people of Seaford.

Ayumi Watanaba

On Wednesday 18th February, Japanese exchange student Ayumi made a presentation to our members about herself and her studies as well as some of her aspirations for the future. Ayumi was accompanied by Mandy Davis, President Elect of our partner Club, Seaford Martello Rotary Club, who is sponsoring Ayumi for her year. Ayumi has visited the UK twice before, the last time to Newcastle upon Tyne to improve her English, but unfortunately she found the accent very difficult to understand! On this trip she is studying at the University of Sussex, Global Studies in the area of Peace Building for an MA on Conflict, Security and Development. Her hopes for the future include: • Internship • Finding a job related to peace development • Engaging in a programme conducted by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Coming from Nagasaki, Ayumi clearly is very aware of the effects of the Atom Bomb. This perhaps explains her interest in peace education and in peace ceremonies that take place annually in Japan. Then came the Paper Crane. This is an origami toy which is a symbol for peace epitomised by the famous story about Sadako Sasaki, a young girl who became ill at the age of 12 in early 1955. After being diagnosed with leukemia from the radiation, Sadako spent her time in a nursing home folding origami paper cranes in the hope of making a thousand of them. She was inspired to do so by the Japanese legend that one who created a thousand origami cranes would be granted a wish. Suddenly the audience became the participants. Ayumi showed just how easy it is to make a Paper Crane, and then instructed those present to make one each. Unfortunately your editor was unable to take part as he felt that he should take some photographs... President Ray did particularly well, but onlookers were surprised when he appeared to eat his! There were some allegations of underhand practices by others (i.e. cheating) but they have not been verified!

APR 2015

I was lucky enough to sample six of chef Steve’s home made cakes (oh, what a difficult job I have!) all lovingly baked on the premises. So, armed with a big pot of tea, first was the Butterscotch and Chocolate Fudge Cake – a big slice of moist chocolate and butterscotch sponge, filled and covered with a gooey fudge cream – I was very happy. Next was the gluten-free Sticky Lemon Cake, a light, fluffy sponge, with a creamy, zesty filling – delicious, very refreshing and in my mind, healthy-ish! A gorgeous Treacle Tart with clotted cream followed, not too sickly as treacle tarts can be, but just very sticky and moreish, and complemented with rich clotted cream – definitely not to be shared! Three down, three to go... Next was a traditional Fruit Cake, just like my Nan made – not too heavy, moist with plenty of juicy fruit and a hint of mixed spice, once again it didn’t disappoint. And finally the scones – one cheese and the other goat’s cheese and red onion, both excellent savoury alternatives. Phew! Other mouthwatering cakes are available...it depends on what Steve has baked on the day, and with summer around the corner there will be ice cream and knickerbocker glories to enjoy and comfy outdoor seating to soak up the sun! What a delightful, happy experience – recommended and not to be missed!

The Synergy Theatre The Synergy Theatre is returning once more to their Studio venue, Kingston Parish Hall, Kingston-near-Lewes, with their production of Tom Stoppard’s delightful Arcadia.

In association with Samuel French Ltd.

Sidley Park, Derbyshire 1809. Lady Thomasina Coverly, a thirteen-year-old mathematical prodigy, is at her lessons with her tutor (and friend of Lord Byron), Septimus Hodge. Through the window, the Capability Brownstyled gardens are in danger of being dug up to embrace the new fashionable ‘Gothic’ style. Around this chaos swirls Thomasina’s mother, Lady Croom, who rules the house with an iron fist while flirting with all the gentlemen. Sidley Park, Derbyshire, the present day. Garden historian Hannah Jarvis (best-selling author of the biography of Lord Byron’s mistress, Lady Caroline Lamb) is trying to research the famous hermit of Sidley Park and fight off the advances of Bernard Nightingale, a university don researching Lord Byron and Valentine Coverley, the older son of the house and post-graduate mathematical biologist (another genius, then...).

Tom Stoppard Wednesday 8TH – Saturday 11TH April 2015 7.30pm, Kingston Parish Hall,

The Street, Kingston-near-Lewes Tickets (£7.00) available on ( 01273) 301444 / (01273) 474303 or from www.thesynergytheatre.co.uk

With all the hopping back and forth between the centuries, it is down to the family tortoise (Plautus or Lightning, depending on your era!) to provide a little stability and gravitas to proceedings! Led by two outstanding young Seaford actors – Janet Lalla-Hamblin as ‘Thomasina’ and Chris Church as her tutor, ‘Septimus’ – this comedy of porridge and Chaos Theory is being performed at the Parish Hall, The Street, Kingston-near-Lewes, on Wednesday 8th – Saturday 11th April at 7.30pm each evening. Tickets, £7 each, are available from the Company’s central box office on 01273 301444, from our Kingston village box office on 01273 474303, by email on boxoffice@thesynergytheatre.co.uk or through the website, www.thesynergytheatre.co.uk.

The Slater Trail It’s hoped a pair of new noticeboards will encourage art lovers to follow in the footsteps of Seaford printmaker Eric Slater (1896-1963) who made a series of colour woodcuts of local landscapes between the wars.The two-hour trek features approximate views of five of Slater’s designs. The boards are at the Martello Tower and South Hill Barn. For details of the walk see www.ericslater.co.uk or follow this rough guide, which assumes you start at the Martello Tower. 1) From the tower admire the sweep of Seaford Bay which inspired Slater’s 1930 print ‘Seaford Head’. 2) Make your way to Splash Point, much changed since Slater’s ‘Rough Sea’ which dates from 1929 – the year he moved to Seaford.

Barn, where you will see the other noticeboard. 4) Make your way down towards the coastguard cottages. After crossing the cattle grid you’ll see a view similar to Slater’s print ‘Cuckmere Haven’, which he also made in 1929. 5) On past the cottages to the beach. Look back at buildings and compare the view with Slater’s 1930 woodcut ‘The Coastguard Station’. 6) Back past the cottages turn right through Walker’s Gate towards the A259 and the Cuckmere Inn. 7) Before the Cuckmere Inn, you’ll see a sign saying ‘Welcome to the Cuckmere Valley’ . Bear left across a field parallel to the A259. From the field you’ll see a view similar to Slater’s 1938 print ‘The Stack Yard.’ 8) Head through Chyngton farmyard up the concrete track to South Hill Barn returning to the Seafront across the golf course.

3) Follow the path up Seaford Head, skirting the 18th tee of the golf course. Carry on past the 15th tee until you are opposite South Hill Barn. Cross the field to the

SEAFORD AFTERNOON FLOWER CLUB Thursday 19th February was our first meeting of 2015. I promised a lively meeting and Angie Hyde did not disappoint. Her title ‘Songs from the wood’ linked us back to her idyllic childhood with tales of camps, countryside walks and rivers. Angie kept up a running commentary in her own bubbly and self-deprecating way whilst creating beautiful flower arrangements using Narcissus bunches, white Carnations, pink Avalanche Roses, orange Gimini (small Gerbera), purple Stacchys, green Anastasia Chrysanthemums and white Avalanche Roses, beautiful green Orchids and stunning purple Orchids to illustrate the football pitch where she and her friends played tennis. Memories included the hills climbed, the kingfishers viewed, paddles to Onion Island, so called because of the wild garlic growing there, and potatoes and onions cooked on camp fires. We learned of the boy who gave her her first kiss and the boy who saved her when she fell in the river; the new Vicar who was told that Angie had pruning rights in the vicarage garden, the 100 year old lady she takes to church each week and her fear of dolls. The next meeting on Thursday 19th March will be our AGM and award giving; I am standing down as Chairman and we shall have two joint Chairs, Georgie Wall and Sue Ward. The membership fee has risen for the first time in 7 years and will be £27. Given that each demonstration costs between £200 and £250 this still represents value for money. Where else can you spend two hours watching beautiful creations being fashioned and having time to make new friends and chat to old friends? We shall meet earlier this year at 1.30pm for a 2pm start, which will enable everyone including the Demonstrators and Committiee to get home before dark in the autumn and winter afternoons. Come and visit us: St Luke’s Church, Walmer Road Chyngton Seaford.You will be made very welcome and you might like to join. Details from Tina Bacon 01323 873162

Night to Remember Midnight Walk returns for the sixth year Chestnut Tree, the only children’s hospice in Sussex, has officially launched the 2015 Night to Remember Midnight Walk. The charity is calling upon the women of Eastbourne to come together and help make every day count for every child being cared for by Chestnut Tree in East Sussex. Now in its sixth year, the annual ladies-only sponsored walk will take place at midnight on Saturday 16th May 2015, with four-mile and 10-mile routes taking in Sovereign Harbour and seafront. Renowned for being a fun, friendly evening, the Night to Remember brings people together in sometimes unexpected ways. At last year’s event, the first two ladies to complete the 10-mile route were 34 year old Jo Gill from Seaford and 45 year old Danny Evennett from Eastbourne. They had never met before the event but got chatting along the route and are now firm friends. Jo had entered the Night to Remember on her own after a knee injury prevented her from longdistance running. “I thought I’d give long distance walking a go, and decided that I’d really love to do the midnight walk for Chestnut Tree as the family of a close friend use their services and get a lot from it,” said Jo. Danny had entered the walk with a team from work, but chose to walk ahead of them. She wasn’t alone for long, however. Danny remembers, “I thought I would be a loner and didn’t mind that but Jo stepped into pace alongside me and we bonded immediately.” “The night was brilliant fun,” says Danny. “The moon was bright, the marshals were all so encouraging and it really was a Night to Remember. I challenged myself, helped a very important charity and met a really great friend all in one night.”

The pair exchanged numbers on the night and, 9 months later, are still in touch. “Although we don’t see each other as much as we would like due to busy lives, we stay in contact and I know we will have many more fantastic and exhilarating experiences to share together,” says Jo. The event is vital in raising funds for the children’s hospice. Over the past five years 3,200 ladies have pledged a collective £383,000 in sponsorship from the event, and hopes are high that this year will boost that total. Linda Perry, Director of Children’s Services at Chestnut Tree says, “We are aiming to double the number of children with life-shortening conditions and their families that we are caring for in East Sussex, but to do that we need to raise awareness and funds. We receive less than 8% of our funding from central government, so we rely on fundraising events such as Night to Remember to enable us to offer our services.” So, what would Danny and Jo say to anybody thinking about taking part in this year’s event? “Go for it and make your own amazing memories,” says Jo. “I had a blast, lots of laughter and fun. It was hard work but worth every second and for such a worthy cause. I’m definitely going to do it again this year.” Danny adds, “Chestnut Tree does such an important and impressive job. When something bad happens to children, knowing there is a net like Chestnut Tree to catch every family member as they try to deal with whatever may have occurred is essential. It is truly a noble cause and they need as much help as anyone is able to offer.” Registration for the event closes on Monday 4th May 2015 and there is a discounted early-bird entry fee of £15 for those registering before Sunday 15th March. Entry is open to women aged 16 and over and includes a fundraising pack, an exclusive t-shirt, torch and medal, as well as refreshments en route and breakfast on return.

COUNCILLOR WELCOMES POSITIVE RESPONSE FOR ACCESSIBLE SEAFORD PROJECT Councillor Carolyn Lambert welcomed a positive response from East Sussex County Council to local proposals for an Accessible Seaford project. Cllr Lambert explains: “This is a proposal that has come from a local resident, supported by Cycle Seahaven, to develop safe routes around Seaford for anyone with mobility issues. It makes good use of our twittens and some of the proposals could be achieved through the use of signage without the need for expensive infrastructure work.

children and cyclists to travel safely around the town. “East Sussex County Council are currently developing a walking and cycling strategy for Lewes District and I hope that this proposal can be included in the strategy, and may even act as an example of good practice for other parts of the district. There will be some funding soon from the Department of Transport for this kind of project and I very much hope that the County Council will be successful in accessing this when it becomes available so that we can try to deliver some aspects of the plan.”

Running Commentary... The London and Brighton Marathons are probably taking up the thoughts of many Seaford runners this month so, having been lucky enough to have run London on twelve occasions I’d like to offer the following – you should have done all your longest runs by now and be starting to reduce them gradually, to the point of not running at all in the three or four days before the marathon. This will ensure your legs are completely recovered from the strains of your training and you are 100% fresh and ready when you cross the start line. If you keep training hard, you will be doing the marathon on tired legs… not a good idea. Make sure you run in your favourite shorts, favourite socks and that your trainers are fit for purpose! And if your T-shirt has your name on it, the mass of spectators will be one million friends you didn’t know you knew, and they’ll be cheering you on personally. Double-knot your laces. The last thing you’ll want to do is to stop to tie them up. Don’t trim your toenails the night before. If you have to, do it a week before. Devise your own carbo-loading strategy, and enjoy it. Be fully hydrated for days before, rather than just trying to fill up with too much liquid on the morning of the race…and then be

forced to have toilet stops on the way round. Think relaxed and run relaxed. Keep your mental strength topped up by thinking positively all the time, before, during and after. The mass start will ensure you don’t go off too fast, but remember to save some energy for the last 10km. All runners should be able to manage the first twenty miles.Your training, or lack of it, will show in that last 10km. As your fuel tank gets close to zero, your mental fortitude should kick in and help you finish. Tell yourself to enjoy every single moment of the marathon, and hopefully some of the energy that you’d saved during the early miles will enable you to look good and finish strongly.Your memory will recall a good finish long after the painful bits and slow moments have been forgotten. Once you’ve finished, find something to drink and eat as soon as possible. The sooner you begin to address your energy debt the quicker will be your recovery. One of the toughest things to do happens immediately after you cross the finishing line. While every part of you is longing to stop and collapse somewhere quiet, the ideal thing (but the very last thing you’ll want to do) is to go for a very short, slow warm down jog. This is meant to aid your recovery and help you to avoid suffering from rigor mortis the following morning, something that usually reveals itself when you have to come down stairs backwards. For as long as you like, enjoy the praise from your friends and family, you’ve earned it, and try to have plenty of protein in your meals as you seek to get back to normal. In the week after the marathon, cycling as exercise can be less painful than a quick return to running. For first-timers, once you feel ready for the next challenge, I suggest you aim to do the off-road Beachy Head Marathon in October. Then you can decide whether to give up marathons…or not! And finally, this month sees the first ever Noh Taram long distance event in Polynesia. Uniquely, competitors have to cover the 42km course by running backwards. Course Director, Loof Lirpa, is reported to be offering Sladem (their national flower) to all successful runners. Martin Bulger, founder member of Seaford Striders Running Club

JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUBS STRONGER TOGETHER A meeting of managers and coaches was held on Friday 6th March to announce a merger between Seaford WASPS and Seaford Town FC. Richard Woolmer, Chairman of Seaford Youth, said ‘I am really pleased and proud to impart this news. It is a great fit and all WASPS teams will play as Seaford FC from April 1st. Bob Thomsett the Chairman of Seaford and I have for many months been talking with Ian Sewell, the Chairman and founder of WASPS. We have found much common ground, especially in our desire to offer the best support we can to ensure the further development of the young players in our town. We feel that as a combined club we can offer a much brighter future for these youngsters. WASPS will bring to STFC 6 teams from the ages of 6 to 11, upwards of 70 new players. They and their families are most welcome to the club.’ The WASPS managers and coaches will join Seaford Town and Ian Sewell will become Vice Chair of Seaford Town’s youth section. Ian will continue to coach on Saturday and bring in the 5- and 6-year-old children with Seaford Town’s support. ‘I have got to know Ian well over the past 18 months and look forward to working with him, and all his coaches and managers, on what we all see as an exciting new future for our clubs. In Ian we are fortunate to have a man of vast experience of youth football who is justifiably proud of what he has achieved with WASPS.’ Woolmer said. Ian Sewell added, ‘I think the time is right to join forces with the town’s oldest club. I am very committed to becoming part of STFC, together we can provide greater opportunities for the young footballers of Seaford. The aim is that, many will eventually represent our town at senior level. The next few weeks will see the launch of a new club logo and publicity given to a new youth nickname of ‘The Hornets’. It is the club’s aim to build a strong identity within county football from senior level down. As finance becomes available the club will change all its team kits with the red of Seaford town being the home kit and the

black and yellow of the WASPS becoming the away kit. Bob Thomsett added ‘Seaford Town Football Club see this as part of a long-term development plan. Whilst it is not a short-term fix for our much publicised senior problems, this merger has been received as positive news by both the committee of Seaford Town FC and the County FA. It has been a very frustrating season but I am sure next year we will be the stronger for it.’ Photos by Matt Bodé l-r back row: Andy Stiles STFC Under 12 coach; Richard Woolmer, Chair Seaford Youth; Ian Sewell, Founder and Chair Seaford WASPS.

If you listen to your body when it whispers, you will never have to listen to it scream. Ill health is often a gradual process and often people accept ill health and regard it as normal. Do you regularly take medication? If the medicine is for a short term complaint that is fine, but some medicines are for life. Have you thought of working to improve your health through lifestyle changes, diet and homeopathy, it could be that by improving your health GP will consider reducing the medications you take. We tend to accept conditions, say, indigestion you may accept that this is what to expect and not question the fact that you have discomfort or are taking medication daily, probably for the rest of your life. There are many conditions that people accept without question. Aches and pains, low energy, period problems, constipation, PMT, hot flushes, insomnia, menopausal problems, itchy skin, psoriasis, night sweats, headaches, anxiety, depression, even acne is considered normal for teenagers. The Japanese do not have the word for menopause, this may be because their diet and lifestyle is more suited to healthy living. Do you start the day with a good cough and don’t think twice about it? Symptoms are your body’s way of trying to heal itself. It is important to pay attention to this and deal with the issue and not suppress it. An example is when you smoke, your body doesn’t like it, you cough, buy cough mixtures and continue smoking, then the problem becomes more serious as the body can’t expel the poison which it continues to receive and finds some other way of dealing with it. If you have a rash or other problem it indicates that your body is clearing toxins. If you suppress the problem then the body finds another way of expelling toxins. This can also become more serious. In homeopathy the remedies reflect the symptoms that you are suffering. for example the remedy Allium cepa ( onion) is given for watery eyes. Therefore they work with your body to reflect what your body is trying to do and work with your body to heal itself. When I went onto a macrobiotic diet for my eczema

many years ago, I suddenly noticed that I no longer had ‘sleepy dust’ (rheum) in my eyes every morning.. I also noticed that I stopped having headaches. I had assumed that everyone had ‘sleepy dust’ and headaches. Some problems do not respond to conventional treatment for instance fibromyalgia or ME and people just accept that they should live with it. After homeopathic treatment I was cured of allergic rhinitis which I had had all my life and had given up trying to resolve. Homeopathy can often work when other treatments have failed. I would recommend the website ‘Find a homeopath’ and read the ‘testimonials’ for examples of what homeopathy can achieve. There are about 300 testimonials and the list is growing. It is in alphabetical order so you will probably find a condition similar to your own. Some people have to take medications for serious conditions and accept that they will just have to live with the side effects the medications. Homeopathy provides remedies to counteract the side effects without interfering with the action of the medication. Many people already use Arnica for bruises and may not realise that this is a homeopathic remedy. My family also uses Natrum mur for cold sores, this remedy is harmless and natural but will stop a cold sore in its tracks. The teething powders that you use for your baby probably contain Chamomilla which is another successful homeopathic remedy. Often by taking these readily available remedies people realise that homeopathy is a solution to be explored. If you would like to know more about homeopathy generally or with regard to your condition I am happy to speak to you. I am based at Seaford Osteopathic Clinic but can also do home visits. I can be contacted on 01323 894479 or 0793 619 2353 or email simone.oates@sky.com.

Do we want longer Runner Beans?

3 The lawn is now likely to be growing

rapidly. It will need a cut at least once and maybe twice a week. 3 Seeds and seedlings growing in the greenhouse may need watering every day. So give them a check every day. 3 Outdoor seedlings may be coming up so protect them from slugs and snails. If you don’t they may disappear overnight. 3 Bedding plants are now on sale in many shops, garden centres and nurseries. They must be placed in the greenhouse or cold-frame for a few weeks to harden off. An overnight frost will harm them.

n the UK runner beans are one of our most popular vegetables to grow and eat. Similar long pod beans are even more popular around the world, particularly in the warmer countries where they are a basic or staple diet. Improvements in growing techniques and genetic modification are expected to produce beans up to five times their average length. Such a move would mean cheaper food for these basic staple foods in many countries. Trials are underway to combine the growth benefits of the ‘yard long bean or snake bean” with the incredibly prolific American pole bean “Cherokee Trail of Tiers’. Professor Lirpa Loof, senior researcher at the Thailand Trials Centre in Chaing Rai, says that early signs are very promising. Subsequently, these researches could now be trialed within the UK for our seed companies who supply seed for our most popular Runner and French beans. Yelrihs Rekrap, Senior Science Advisor to the UK’s Trials Agency says that we will combine the popular heritage runner bean “Webbs Charger” and the pole bean “Pole Dancer”. They think that longer beans would to d

be very popular with both the allotment and exhibitor vegetable growers. The UK record for a runner bean was 17.7 inches in 2014. The variety was Enorma. In a few years’ time we could be harvesting beans up to 3-4 feet in length. This will certainly mean bigger saucepans! Mike Parker

RARE OR UNUSUAL VEGETABLES FOR THE TABLE

Skirret Sium Sisarum Skirret originated from china and was once highly valued in Britain as a fine vegetable, but it is seldom grown nowadays. The edible part of the plant is the cluster of thin branched white roots, which have an excellent and distinctive flavour of carrots with parsley. This is reasonable as Skirret belongs to the carrot family. To grow successfully, sow the seed in a sunny site in deepish drills about eighteen inches apart. Later, thin the seedlings to nine inches apart. The vegetable should be ready to harvest in October, sometimes earlier in a good summer. Avoid leaving the roots too long in the ground as they will become woody and loose flavour. The roots should be thoroughly cleaned before cooking. An old recipe says that they should be cooked in a little milk or may be stewed, roasted or eaten raw in salad. Seed is mostly available from online heritage seed suppliers. Look at www.pennardplants.com or www.chilternseeds.co.uk

There’s nothing we like more in the community garden at the Crouch than the excuse for a party, and a gloriously sunny Wednesday in March saw us helping Cameron to celebrate his 18th birthday with one of Stephanie’s delicious cakes. Cameron has been a regular volunteer for several years, and became so interested in what goes on that he decided to train in horticulture at Plumpton college. Before cutting his cake he had collected flower trimmings kindly donated by Bishopstone Nurseries flower shop to help nourish the compost bins, tended the compost to ensure it reaches full richness to benefit this year’s vegetables, had a lesson in plant propagation from Diana and helped transport repotted plants from the poly

tunnel to the outside sales area. These included Bellis perennis daisy plants which are now blooming beautifully. He also had the opportunity of watching James plant two step-over apple trees, an Egremont Russet and a Braeburn, plus blackcurrant Ben Lomond, in the bed facing the entrance sales area. Two trees were trained over horizontal bamboo poles last year and the idea is that the bed will now be fenced by the step-over trees and their supports. We also want to grow redcurrant and gooseberry cordons, so if anyone has any spare cuttings we would be very grateful. Lyn and Jan were at work in the poly tunnel tidying up Geranium renardii and sorting out seeds for spring sowing, and several other hands were busy dividing plants for the Macmillan Garden Trail on the weekend of July 25th and 26th, to be opened at Geoff Stonebanks’ Driftwood garden in Bishopstone by TV gardener Christine Walkden. We will of course be open for that event. Meanwhile Bob was looking after his herb garden, plug trays were being washed for reuse – nothing’s ever wasted in this garden! – and birds got a treat with two new boxes kindly donated by Eve, one behind the classroom and another by the entrance gate, and a feeding table that had been smothered by bamboo at the wildlife pond re-sited in the shade garden. With warmer weather on the way we hope you will join us to see what volunteers get up to in this lovely, sheltered space. We are open each Wednesday morning from 9.30am to 12.30pm, when you can be assured of a warm welcome. The Garden Team Photos from top: Lyn gives Geranium renardii a haircut, Cameron had a sheaf of cards to open, Jan sorts out seeds for spring sowing, James plants a step-over apple.

Seaford Gardening Club Now that Spring has officially sprung we can venture out into our gardens and plant new shrubs, sow vegetables etc. plus a good tidy up for warmer days ahead. The frogs have been very busy creating spawn in my pond and I expect the hedgehog may be thinking of coming out of hibernation. Our February meeting speaker, Wing Commander Patrick Coulcher, gave us a very informative talk on Wordsworth and The Lakes. The Renowned poet was born in Cockermouth and had three brothers and one sister. He could be a very moody man with the occasional violent temper, but he loved all things of nature together with his sister Dorothy. He lost both his parents when quite young and he attended Grammar School at Hawkshead, and then progressed to college in Cambridge. He then moved to France and met Annette, with whom he had a child. He had wanted to enter Church life but was not allowed to because of his illegitimate child. A number of his poems were written to portray his love

for his sister but some of the more famous ones were conceived when he moved to Germany. The German people were suspicious of his relationship with his sister so he moved back to the Lake District and bought Dove Cottage. It was very small for the number of people that lived there – together with Dorothy and his new friend, Coleridge. In 1802 Wordsworth married Mary Hutchington, but Dorothy did not approve as she was in love with her brother! Wordsworth wrote his most famous poem about our lovely daffodils on the shores of Lake Ullswater. They then moved to a house called Allenbrook, where Dorothy had two children who sadly died in childhood. When Wordsworth inherited from his father he was very well off but he did not write much more poetry after he moved to Rydal Hall. After a very full and interesting life with many relationships and changes he died in 1850 and is buried in Grasemere Churchyard. A most interesting talk, illustrated with Patrick’s usual excellent slides of the lakes and mountains. Our next talk on Wednesday 29th April is by David Fitton and entitled ‘Seaside and Chalk Gardening’. The evening will start at 7.30 pm in the Clinton Centre, Clinton Place, Seaford (please use front door opposite Tesco). Visitors are very welcome for a fee of £2 or can join (up to June meeting) for £10. There are no extra charges. Refreshments are available and a raffle is held on some evenings.

THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ST GEORGE At their sixth Annual General Meeting held on Monday 23rd February at the Green Man in Ringmer, the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society of St George launched their campaign to encourage the celebration of England’s National Day, St George’s Day, 23rd April. To bring England in line with the patriotic celebrations of St Patrick’s Day, St David’s Day and St Andrew’s Day, they want to see St George celebrated as well. We can all fly the flag of St George. Any building with a flag pole is asked so to do on and around the 23rd April. The branch is asking people to celebrate with their friends and family, societies and associations with lunches, dinners, receptions or parties. Churches of all denominations are asked to consider holding a special service during this period as well as joining in the national campaign to ring bells at 6pm on the day. For assistance, requests for speakers or advice, please contact the Chairman, Bob Peedle MBE on 01323

899985 or by email on 514928@talktalk.net. Already there are some requests for speakers to visit meetings and lunches in the area. The Chairman will also welcome information about how individuals or groups will be celebrating the day. The Seahaven Branch is holding its own celebrations with a service on St George’s Day at St Andrews Church in Alfriston, which will start at 6pm with the ringing of the Church Bells. Members and guests will then walk across the Tye to Deans Place Hotel where a formal dinner will start at 7.30pm. All this will take place in the presence of the Lord Lieutenant and the High Sheriff of East Sussex, as well as many other civic dignitaries. Saint George was martyred in 303 AD by order of the Emperor of Rome, Diocletian – George was a Christian and refused the Emperor’s orders to declare for paganism and forsake Christianity. His becoming Patron Saint of England goes back to the days of the Crusades. As well as England he is patron saint of many other cities and countries and is revered by many religions.

We are still resting on our Laurels from all our hard work last year and just socialising and having fun. We celebrated the Chinese New year with a very pleasant lunch at the New Dynasty with our Lionesses. We also took part in our Zone Olympics Scalextric evening organised by Hove Lions Club. This was good fun made better by the fact that our team won the event. The weekend of the 14th and 15th was the District Convention in Eastbourne. The District covers the whole of the South East, from Dover to Chichester and London to the Coast. It was here that we heard we have an artist in our area. The Lions Clubs organise a Peace Poster competition and our club sends information to schools and youth organisation, and asks them to submit their posters. These are judged by the club and the winners sent to the District. Emily Sargood, of the Telscombe Guide Company, submitted her poster and we passed it on to the District. Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poster was awarded second place in the District. Well done Emily (see photo). The Club has agreed to another ÂŁ1,000 of donations to local clubs and organisations. More information next month. The Club meets at 8pm on the fourth Thursday of each month at the White Lion Hotel, Seaford. If you are interested in the Lions and the work we do give us a call on 0845 833 5981 or visit our website www.npslions.co.uk We also have two minibuses for use by the community and take out various groups with or without a driver, i.e. if you want to provide your own driver you can do so (subject to insurance) call 01323 898961 for more information about the minibuses. Unfortunately though, due to unreported damage to one of the buses, we may have to restrict their usage.

Seahaven Lioness Club

January and February are always fairly quiet months for the Lionesses. We have in the past been caught out by the weather and are a bit wary of organising any big events. We have done a couple of coffee mornings at the Meridian Centre in Peacehaven and some members have been out for various social jollies. Six Lionesses also attended the National Lioness Conference near Maidstone in February. There were some productive business sessions, some very entertaining and informative speakers, and the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with fellow Lionesses from across the country. March saw the start of the fundraising season with a Quiz on Saturday 7th at the 60+ Club. This was quite well-attended and the teams enjoyed some friendly competition and a fish & chip supper. The winners were a team called S’s & M’s who achieved a very impressive score of 116 out of a possible 130 points. In April & May we have several big fundraising events: Sainsbury’s Receipt Draw in aid of Newhaven Lifeboat. Thursday/Friday 23rd & 24th April. The Lionesses will set up their stall in the entrance foyer of Sainsbury’s, Newhaven, and try to part you from your money – for a good cause of course! For £1 your name will be entered into our draw, with a chance to win the cost of your shopping (up to £75). The draw will take place late afternoon on Friday.

Car Boot Sale – The Dell, Peacehaven on Sunday 26th April. No prior booking required. Just turn up on the day from 8am for sellers and 9am for buyers. This is one of the first of the season so should, weather permitting, be well attended. Barn Dance – Friday 8th May at Chyngton Primary School. There will be live music from the band Ded Efnik and a caller. All proceeds will go to St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Eastbourne. Further details about tickets etc next time. Saturday stalls – we are hoping to run our regular Saturday bric-a-brac stalls in Broad Street when the weather gets a bit warmer, but are getting a bit short of stuff to sell. So if you are spring cleaning, having a clear-out or moving house, or you know anyone who is, please think of us. You can contact us on the phone number or email below. Collection can be arranged. We cannot take large items of furniture, unfortunately,

due to limited storage space, but anything else in good condition would be appreciated. All proceeds go to good causes. For any more information about these events or about becoming a member of the Lioness Club please call 0845 833 2796 or email lionesses@npslions.co.uk or become a Facebook friend.

SEAFORD KURLERS

Well we made it through to Spring and Eastertide. If you have eaten too many Easter eggs you will need to come kurling and get chocolate detoxed with exercise. Sounds good anyway! You can tell we take our sport very seriously. We do actually do quite a lot of exercise whilst also having good fun. If you want to try it all out – join us at the Downs Leisure Centre, Seaford any Tuesday from 2.00pm until 4pm. Try it out for free on your first visit. People who read these articles on a regular basis will know that we have a few outings throughout the year. We have always relied on the ESDA coaching services for our transport. Their coaches are specially adapted to cater for the needs for anyone with a physical disability. Seaford Kurlers are a club affiliated to ESDA (East Sussex Disability Association) but the ESDA coaching services have gone into liquidation. ESDA owned some of the coaches and intend to try to run a service for their members and outside clubs. They are in future going to charge a daily rate for the hire of a specially adapted coach. This will be £250 for ESDA clubs and

S. J. Hampton

£320 for outside bookings. This is for 25-mile-radius journeys. There will be a small mileage charge for longer trips. It is now up to us to use this facility to its full potential. Sadly in February, one of our longest standing members died. Mary Edna Dudley – known as ‘Eddie’ died in St Peter and St James’ Hospice in her 90th year. She was a wonderful happy lady, full of fun and laughter. She lived life to the full both here and in Spain. Her love for the family and many friends was echoed in the beautiful but simple service and tributes, in St Peter’s Church, Seaford on Tuesday 24th February, 2015. Everyone will remember her zest for life and her sense of humour. She came through many difficult times but always found her way through, and supported others. Our thoughts are with the family. Any donations should be made to the hospice. The funeral directors are Coopers in Seaford. As always, Seaford Kurlers can be seen in action at the very well equipped Downs Leisure Centre Seaford. The first visit is free. Annual subs are £5 per year and weekly subs are £2.50. Contact June Wood, Secretary, 7 Landsdown Road, BN25 3JS.

MARTELLO ROTARY CLUB Winston’s Wish

This charity was set up in 1992 by a clinical psychologist called Julie Stokes who had visited the USA and Canada on a Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship. Inspired by what she had seen, she set up Winston’s Wish, which offers specialist bereavement support to children, young people and their families, helping them to rebuild their lives and face the future with confidence and hope.

SP ECIAL OFFER

Sue Dove is from their Community Fundraising department based in Horsham and she explained that the charity helps over 30,000 children every year with its helpline, drop-in centre, residential weekends and interactive website (www.winstonswish.org.uk). They also do individual and group work, and offer training

and consultancy for professionals. They depend almost entirely on voluntary donations in order to raise the £2.4 million they need to provide their services. The President of Martello Rotary, Dave Winsor, presented Sue with a cheque for £300.

Installation of Vice – President

Jackie Arkwell is the club’s new Vice-President and at a recent meeting she was presented with the chain of office by Mandy Davis, who will take over as President on 1st July this year. Jackie takes over from her in July 2016.

Kai Fletcher

Kai is a student at Seaford Head School and he visited the Club together with his Dad, Jeff, to speak about a trip to India he is undertaking in July with five others from the school. He teaches Martial Arts to local children aged 3-12. The trip will include trekking, camping and visiting cities and towns, and working with children in schools. The trip is organised by World Challenge who will supply a supervisor, but most of the decisions with regard to money and accommodation etc will be left to the students. Other schools are taking part, and each student has to raise £2,000 to fund the cost. Members were very interested in Kai’s presentation and have pledged a donation towards his fundraising efforts. The Martello Rotary Club meets on Monday evenings at Seaford Golf Club and welcomes new members. For more information email: plbseaford@aol.com or call 01323 894553 or 07802 305158.

FRIENDS OF TIDEMILLS The Friends of Tide Mills has just completed its February meeting. 21 of us collected 16 sacks of rubbish and also erected six Ringed Plover nesting warning signs to the Seaford side of the old village. Last year a pair of these little birds (right) had their best Tide Mills breeding success that we know of, successfully raising several young. Obviously as these birds nest on the ground any disturbance is likely to cause breeding failure, so we do ask that people, and dogs in particular, are kept from entering the breeding area. The signs will be recovered during the summer and we hope this not a problem. To date we have still received no further information regarding Network Railâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to replace the existing kissing gates over the railway line with some sort of bridge. Our next meeting is Sunday the 19th April (always the third Sunday of each month), meeting at 10am at the Waymarker adjacent to the beach at the road leading from the level crossing. Our meetings last nominally for two hours but all are welcome no matter how much time can be spared. Please do join us, we really are seeing major progress now in the care of this wonderful place. More information from me at brian.skinner2@btinternet.com or our website at www.friendsoftidemills.webs.com

Need a good maintenance builder? EFFICIENT, RELIABLE & LOCAL? Whatever the problem.

As the final four train for WorldSkills with the hope of representing the UK on the UK Squad in Sao Paulo, Brazil, August 2015, Louis Wilkinson returns to Sussex Downs College for Brickwork training. It’s been a gruelling year of training for former Sussex Downs College Brickwork student, Louis Wilkinson, 20, (above) from Seaford. Since being selected for WorldSkills, the talented youngster has joined students from across the country in training for a coveted position on the UK Squad in Sao Paulo, Brazil, this summer. The judges have whittled the team down to the final four and the finish line is in sight. Louis joins candidates from Shrewsbury, Barnsley and Hull. Five days of training takes place in York next week followed by Northern Ireland in a fortnight’s time. “Reality has set in on how intense it gets,” Louis comments, as he returns to Sussex Downs College for training with Brickwork Curriculum Leader Kevin Diett. Whilst Louis is taking the competition in his stride, the toughest part has been the travelling and time spent away from family and friends. “You miss celebrations or can’t go out on a Saturday night because you’re driving up North early the next morning, but it’s been worth it. It’s fantastic to have come this far.” Likewise, fitting the training around full-time work can be tricky too. Luckily for Louis, his employer, Owen Contractors Ltd, have been understanding. It’s certainly no bad thing to have one of the top young bricklayers in the country working for you! Thirty trades will be represented at WorldSkills in Sao Paulo this summer, and Louis hopes to be the bricklayer representing the UK. With the final selection process to take place on 18th May, the end is in sight for Louis. Sussex Downs College, Owen Contractors, along with Louis’ family and friends, wish him the best of luck.

Zero Waste Campaign

Sussex Downs College teacher, Tracey Feist.

Sussex Downs College in Newhaven is recycling waste found on the beach to create stunning hand-crafted wood products for the community. ‘Zero Waste’ is run two days a week from the Denton Island campus of Sussex Downs College. Students collect driftwood found on Newhaven beach and then design and create a range of products including bird tables, benches, tables, key-rings, sculptures, mirrors and more. The products are then sold to the public in a seasonal sale at the end of the 12-week course.

Students plan their own projects and develop practical skills in woodwork as well as enterprise skills. The exhibition gives them an opportunity to showcase their achievements to the public, family and friends. The 12-week course is aimed at young people, aged 1624, in Newhaven and the surrounding areas. Zero Waste students are supported to move onto further education, training or work. Students from previous courses have moved onto a wide range of courses at Sussex Downs College, Plumpton College and with the Prince’s Trust Team Programme. Lynsey Cameron, Entry to Employment Transitional Co-ordinator at Sussex Downs College, says: “Zero Waste equips young adults with new skills and most importantly, increased confidence. It lets them explore options available to them in Further Education and boosts their employability.”

Current Zero Waste students are working with local carpenter, Mark Chambers (The Great Escape SEAFORD TV - advert:Layout 1 9/11/12 11:41 Page 1 Treehouse Company), to make a bench in memory of

February was the 56th AGM of Seaford Hard of Hearing Club. 2014 had been a successful year, although our Chairman, Pauline Howard, had to resign due to family problems and our Treasurer, David Clark, stood down due to ill health. We thank them both for their help and support. The remaining committee were voted back in en bloc. The new Treasurer is Mrs Jill Champion. The post of Chairman is vacant and anyone who is interested taking up this post would be most welcome. The March meeting will commence with a talk by Mr R Peedle on The Royal Society of St George. The April meeting will see the return of Alan Hodges who will give a talk with slides entitled “Sussex by the Sea”. Anyone who wishes to attend either meeting would be most welcome. We will commence at 2pm, and after the talk tea and biscuits will be served. There will also be a raffle. Transport is available. The lip-reading classes are at present held at Seaford Baptist Church each Tuesday at 9.45am - 11.30am. This is a small, friendly class with an excellent teacher. There is a small weekly charge. If you are interested in attending please ring Jenny Gurdin on 01273 585339. The annual fee for joining the Club is £15, which is due this month.

Campaign for improving health services in Seaford Healthcare Improving Seaford Healthcare (ISH) is a community group open to all who would like to see improved health services for the people of Seaford. It was formed as the Campaign for Action on Seaford Health in May 2012 following a public meeting. It was set up by community leaders in a cross party manner to actively campaign for improvements in the healthcare and services available for Seaford Residents. Last year its name was changed to Improving Seaford Healthcare (ISH) but its purpose remains unchanged. It is a campaign group fighting for improvements in the healthcare available for Seaford Residents. The people of Seaford have to travel to Brighton or Eastbourne for many basic outpatient treatments. This situation is deteriorating, with many facilities being moved from The Eastbourne District General Hospital

to Hastings or Bexhill, and with the Royal Sussex in Brighton running at capacity and shortly to undergo major refurbishment and reconstruction which will temporarily diminish that capacity. One if the achievements of the group has been to ensure that some services are provided under the NHS at the Horder Centre Seaford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Musculoskeletal (MSK) range of services are not provided locally in Seaford. In Seaford, we have an ageing population. We have young people and families who cannot access adequate community services. We therefore need to expand and strengthen the efforts of our health campaign until the voices of the people of Seaford have been heard. We have to work on the basis that he who shouts loudest gets the best, he who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shout gets nowt. We cannot expand or strengthen our campaign without the active support of you, the people of Seaford. Now is the time to stand up and be counted, if like us you feel that Seaford deserves better. If you are able to give one or two hours a month to help participate in our campaign for improved health services in Seaford, please come and join ISH. We need your support, regardless of your background, political beliefs, age or experience; your support can make a difference. If you are interested in joining or require further information please email ISH at: improvingseafordhealthcare@gmail.com or contact Sam Adeniji on 01323 873500

East Blatchington Lectures The subject of the first of this year’s series of East Blatchington Lectures will be Donatello. Not the popular Italian restaurant in Brighton, but the popular and great Italian sculptor.

Now available: ‘A’ rated boilers with 10 years parts and labour warranty, Please ask for details.

The art historian Kay Blackburn will talk about the man whose statue of David, in bronze, was a move away from traditional religious imagery, and one of the first nude statues of the Renaissance.

It is his most famous work. At the time of its creation, it was the first known free-standing nude statue that had been produced since ancient times. Donatello is said to have re-invented the art of sculpture as other contemporaries were re-inventing painting, and he had complete mastery of sculpture in bronze, stone, wood and terracotta. Kay’s illustrated talk will be given at St Peter’s Church, Belgrave Road, Seaford, on Tuesday 7th April and it is open to everyone. It starts at 2.30pm and tickets are £7, including refreshments, available from the Seaford estate agents, Newberry Tully. This is the first of the very popular lecture series for 2015. Others held on the first Tuesday of the month, include a successful author, the curious tale of a dead monarch, a man who likes to make a lot of noise and a novelist who once wrote for Charles Dickens. David, by Donatello. In his left hand is the sling he used to bring down Goliath; in his right hand, the sword that decapitates Goliath.
