Seaford Town Council 

seaford mayor’s 

summer reception 

Newly elected Seaford Mayor, Councillor Nazish Adil, 

hosted her Summer Civic Reception to help promote 

her charitable causes whilst in her term in office on 

Wednesday 17th July. The chosen charities are The 

Youth Counselling Project and the Down Syndrome 

Development Trust, both based in Seaford. 

The event was held at The View, Seaford Head and 

was attended by various dignitaries, including the High 

Sheriff of Sussex, Violet Hancock, and her husband 

Tim, Freemen of Seaford, Laurie Holland and Keith 

Blackburn, and the widow of the late Freeman, Don 

Mabey. Also in attendance were 

the Chairman of East Sussex 

County Council, Cllr David 

Elkin, and his wife, the Mayors of 

Peacehaven, Lewes, Newhaven 

and Polegate, Major Bob Peedle, 

Chairman of the Seahaven Branch 

of The Royal Society of St George, 

and representatives from the East 

Sussex Police, clergy, councillors and 

friends and family. 

The event was opened by Town 

Crier Peter White. Following a 

welcome speech from the Mayor, the two charities 

gave a short introduction regarding the valuable work 

that they do. Following a delicious buffet everyone 

was entertained by the Pop Up Singers and dancing 

continued into the night! 

Nazish Adil is quoted as saying: ‘It was such a 

delightful evening having a galaxy of eminent dignitaries, 

special guests and close friends. I feel so privileged and 

honoured to welcome everybody at my reception. It 

touches my heart how warmly and open heartedly 

everybody had come together to welcoming me 

and to celebrate my joy and success and to raise the 

profile of my charities. 

‘I would like to thank the organising 

team at the Seaford Town Council, 

the Town Crier, the team at The View, 

Seaford Head Golf Course, the Pop 

Up band for performing voluntarily 

in aid of my charities, the Youth 

Counselling Project and the Down 

Syndrome Development Trust for 

their stands, the fellow councillors, 

the counterparts and other 

esteemed guests 

for making this a 

memorable and 

cherished event 

for me and for 

participating 

generously in the 

raffle draw 

in support 

of my charities, which raised £249.’

CYCLE SEAHAVEN & 

the cuckoo trail 

Each month, two of our ladies – Sarah 

and Kate – lead a group of ladies on 

a gentle ride, finding something new 

to see and somewhere new to stop for 

lunch or refreshments. 

As July is officially the month of Women’s 

Festival of Cycling run by Cycling UK, Sarah 

and Kate decided to take the ladies 

a little further afield. With the help of the Lions Club 

Mini Bus and our lovely Treasurer, Denis, at the wheel, 

they loaded the trailer for their next adventure – the 

Cuckoo Trail, from Heathfield back to Seaford. The 

picturesque trail follows the former ‘Cuckoo Line’ railway 

track and stretches from Heathfield to Shinewater Park. 

It passes through Horam, Hailsham and Polegate. 

The railway opened in 1880 and became known as the 

Cuckoo Line because, traditionally, the first cuckoo of 

spring was released from a cage at Heathfield Fair. The 

line was axed under the Beeching cuts and eventually 

closed in 1968. Improvements to the path started in 

1990 with the partnership of Sustrans. The Cuckoo 

Trail is jointly owned and managed by Wealden District 

Council and East Sussex County Council. This 14-mile 

surfaced path through the Sussex countryside is mostly 

traffic free and is a safe route for walkers and cyclists of 

all ages, forming part of the National Cycle Network – 

route 21. 

What you will find 

The Trail forms a green corridor with a host of natural 

wildlife. Some verges are managed for wild flowers, and 

trees cut to allow light to reach the ground. Other areas 

are wooded and shady. There are good views of the 

surrounding countryside and plenty of rest points. There 

are lots of opportunities to pick up refreshments just a 

short distance from the route. There are benches, picnic 

tables and sculptures in wood and steel, as well as other 

artwork to look out for. 

The site is host to an array of wildlife. You might even 

see bullfinches, lesser whitethroats, cuckoos or weasels. 

There’s also wild garlic at several places between 

Hellingly and Horam 

with its pungent aroma. In early 

summer, orchids grow near path 

edges and under trees. 

So, ten ladies set off bright and early on Saturday 21st 

July. The weather had started dull, but once fuelled by 

Costa coffee we were off. As usual on Ladies’ rides, 

there was a great deal of chatter and encouragement 

as we rode along. The trail is lovely and ten ladies at 

once caused interest amongst the walkers we met. 

Lunch this month was at the Arlington Tea Rooms. The 

weather had improved and we enjoyed a delicious 

lunch and plenty of cake (there’s nearly always cake!). 

Once refreshed, the next leg of our journey took us 

through Wilmington and beautiful views of the Sussex 

countryside. We arrived back in Seaford to sunshine and 

ready for the annual Cycle Seahaven BBQ. Everyone 

enjoyed the day, especially a lady who was joining us for 

the first time. 

The whole ethos of Ladies’ rides is to get more women 

out on their bikes and to help build confidence and 

friendship and we would love to see more ladies 

come and join us. Ladies’ rides (and all other rides) 

can be found on the calender on our website www. 

cycleseahaven.org.uk. You can join us for up to three 

rides without joining but individual membership is only 

£7 per year (paid by standing order), so why not come 

and join us and open up a whole new world?

Equity Release Specialists 

We are local based Equity Release 

specialists who are based in Seaford. 

We offer face to face appointments in 

our Seaford office or home visits. 

Arranging an Equity Release can seem 

like a daunting process, we take care 

with our clients and advise and help 

throughout the process. We appreciate 

there are important decisions to made, 

that is why we believe in taking time 

over each application. 

Many of our clients release a small initial amount under Equity Release, on average 

around £20,000, and also have additional funds in reserve, this means that if 

additional borrowing is required then the funds are usually a phone call away. 

A lifetime mortgage creates a debt against your home. It’s a big decision, and there 

are many factors to consider. That’s why you can only get a lifetime mortgage 

through a specialist regulated lifetime mortgage adviser. 

To find out more and discover if Equity Release is right for you, we advise an 

informal meeting so we can explain in detail how Equity Release works and the 

effect of roll up of interest, the roll up of interest can grow quickly and be 

significant over a long period, we can show you the effect over 10-15/20 years. 

Our typical fee for arranging an Equity Release mortgage is £695.

Seaford Little Theatre 

Not Now 

darling 

When I got married in 1967 I 

was allowed to take to my new 

home an enormous cardboard 

box bearing the name ‘Dudley Furs, Hove’ containing 

delicate glass Christmas baubles. Given that Ray 

Cooney and John Chapman’s farce Not Now Darling 

revolves around a mink coat, I was put in mind 

of those decorations, all of them unique, as the 

characters revealed themselves on stage, all different 

and as glittery fresh today as they would have been 

nearly 50 years ago when the play was first performed. 

We knew we 

were in for a 

jolly evening as 

soon as Debbie 

Cox, dressed 

in yellow and 

black, Courrèges-a-like dress and gold 

boots in stock-still model pose, wriggled 

out of said fur coat to prance off stage. 

Next out of the box was Lee Coleman- 

Powney who played furrier partner Arnold 

Crouch, the one who constructs the furs 

and is reluctant to be drawn into the machinations of 

fellow partner and salesman Gilbert Bodley, played 

with élan by Alan 

Lade. The play is 

constructed around 

the machinations of 

these two as they 

struggle to prevent 

first one, then two 

women, wilfully naked 

beneath their furs, 

from revealing their nudity in front of an assortment of 

husbands, wives and lovers. 

part – was the hilarious Coleman-Powney 

who didn’t miss a trick to achieve sparkling 

wit expertly delivered from great lines. If 

Coleman-Powney was the brightest spark 

Alan Lade was the important ornament 

throwing light on the fairy. With all his acting 

experience he was a shoo-in for the part, as 

at ease with asides 

to the audience as 

he was with comic 

timing and that 

sort of throwaway 

pomposity that he 

does so well. So what 

of the near-naked 

ladies? Well, they wriggled out of their undies with 

never, er, a slip, and brought the house, along with 

their clothes, down. Great performances from Clare 

Forshaw and Amanda Alexander, who was reduced to 

a couple of strategically placed tea towels during the 

second act. 

There were more glittering performances from Jenny 

Humphries as the hapless Miss Tipdale charged with all 

the running around demanded 

by this farce – Humphries has 

the skill not to over-play a part 

but to extract the best from 

its lines – and Mary Young who 

shone as a naval commander’s 

wife, all swank and picture hat, 

always mislaying her husband, 

ably played by Alan Clifford. A special mention too 

to Dug Godfrey as Bodley’s lover’s rough diamond 

of a husband, 

played with great 

assurance and 

humour. Like the 

commander’s 

ship, this play was 

dressed overall, 

and I loved Trish 

Richings’ knowing 

portrayal of Bodley’s wife. 

Yes, director Garry Fowler, who took Coleman- 

Powney’s part in Cambridge in 1995, made this 

tree sparkle. It was only a pity that the baubles 

had to go back into the box. 

Yes, it’s all very silly and very funny, and the Little 

Theatre did this 1960s’ play proud. The brightest bauble 

in the box – almost the fairy, so camply did he play his

HAIR REPLACEMENT FOR HAIR LOSS 

Is your confidence affected by 

Alopecia, Baldness, Thinning 

Hair and Trichollotimania? 

Regain your confidence – 

Hair Loss doesn’t have 

to be a problem! 

Hair Loss facts: 

According to the NHS, an estimated 

8 million women in the UK alone 

experience hair loss and 1 in 8 under 

35. Hair loss and thinning can be 

devastating for sufferers who can find 

themselves losing confidence in day to 

day life with nowhere to turn for help. 

Often resorting to travelling to London, 

which can cost a fortune both for 

treatments and travel as well as being 

stressful and tiring. Many clients have 

discovered that Oscars Hair and Beauty 

in Eastbourne can not only help them 

with their hair loss but also offer 

a superior product and service. Using 

customised natural hair attachments 

without adhesive, which are organic 

and blended to give you a completely 

natural look. 

Regain Your 

Confidence today! 

Testimonial: 

I first visited Oscar in Eastbourne over 

three years ago and I have never looked 

back since. Her hair replacement system 

has completely changed my life. Now 

my hair is the least of my worries and 

always looks good so I can concentrate 

on other things - like enjoying myself!’

Safety in Action 

In June 2019, East Sussex 

Fire and Rescue Services 

(ESFRS) co-ordinated a 

Safety in Action event at 

Newhaven Fort, working 

with other emergency 

services and agencies to 

encourage Year 6 children to 

recognise hazards and take 

action to keep themselves and 

others safe. The scenarios that 

the children were presented with 

varied from being approached by 

a stranger, reacting to a fire, road 

safety etc. There is a competition 

element to the events and the 

highest scoring team from Wivelsfield Green Primary 

School was visited on 2nd July by Seaford Rotary 

President Keith Ross, fellow Rotarians Peter Posgate 

and Mark Forrester and Sophie Hepworth, Health 

Coordinator (ESFRS), to be presented with a Safety in 

Action award and prize cheque. On 5th July the same 

team and fellow Rotarian Paul Vaesen were delighted 

to present a similar award and cheque to Bowden 

House School in Seaford as the overall winning team. 

STEM Challenge 1 July 2019 

In response to an idea for Seaford Rotary to sponsor 

a Young Scientist competition, Sara Barnes at Seaford 

Head School (SHS) set up and co-ordinated a ‘STEM 

Challenge’ for teams from Year 5 (aged 9-10) of the 

four primary schools in Seaford. STEM stands for 

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. 

On Monday 1st July, 41 pupils in ten teams from the 

four schools in the town presented themselves for the 

challenge. The task for each team was to design and 

build a small four-wheeled ‘racer’ propelled by rubber 

bands to cover a distance that would be measured 

at the end of the day. Each team had a Year 7 student 

from SHS assigned to them to assist and encourage 

their planning and advise on ‘purchase’ of the materials 

to build their racers. The first race test delivered 

varying degrees of success and final design changes 

prepared them for the final test. The teams should be 

congratulated that all the racers moved (not as easy as 

it sounds!) and achieved distances of between 18cm 

and 72cm. 

Judgement considered distance travelled, racer 

design, expenditure on materials and how well pupils 

worked as a team. Comments like ‘I can’t do this’ 

were overcome with a change in approach to resolve 

each difficulty. All the children received certificates 

commending them for 

what they had achieved, and 

President of Seaford Rotary 

Keith Ross presented the 

winning school, Cradle Hill, 

with a cheque for £100. 

Summer Produce 

Show 

The Seaford Horticultural 

Society staged its 117th 

annual Summer Produce Show at Seaford Head 

School on 3rd August. Seaford Rotary were again 

pleased to sponsor the children’s categories for 

judgement by the residing President Keith Ross. This 

year the children had been invited to make bug houses, 

decorate a flowerpot and, in the photographic section, 

to show a photo of ‘My Garden’. 

Entries were up as the Seaford Horticultural Society 

has been working alongside the four Seaford primary 

schools throughout the year, encouraging participation, 

supporting gardening clubs and enrolling pupils as 

junior members of the society. 

The bug houses proved innovative using gathered 

rustic materials, tin cans, redundant bird boxes and 

blocks of wood. The painted flowerpots proved 

very colourful and imaginative, and the ‘My Garden’ 

photo featured different garden aspects including 

insects, digging potatoes and foliage. It is hoped that 

participating in simple horticulture will encourage them 

and their parents to appreciate the benefits of growing 

one’s own produce.

September: 

After the excitement of Seaford’s 

second Film Festival from 

Saturday 14th September until 

Sunday 22nd September (see 

last month’s Seaford Scene and 

the advert on this page), the 

Community Cinema’s new 

season at the Barn Theatre begins 

with three NT Live productions in a 

row. First up at the Barn Theatre, on 

Thursday 26th September at 7pm, is an 

encore of Nicholas Hytner’s smash hit 

comedy One Man, Two Guvnors (12A) 

starring the wonderful James Corden as a small-time 

gang minder juggling two jobs. 

October: 

On Thursday 10th October at 7pm it’s the turn of 

The Lehman Trilogy (12A), directed by Sam Mendes 

and starring Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and 

Ben Miles in a play that traces the story of the banking 

brothers from their start in New York in 1844 to their 

firm’s disastrous collapse 163 years later. Director 

Nicholas Hytner

Theatre on Thursday 7th November at 7pm when 

Simon Godwin’s Hansard (likely to be a 15 certificate) 

is being screened. Starring Lindsay Duncan and Alex 

Jennings, it starts on a summer morning in 1988 when 

a Tory politician has returned to the idyllic Cotswolds 

home he shares with his wife. Secrets are dug up and 

marital scrapping becomes a blood sport. 

On the Basis of Sex (12A), directed by Mimi Leder 

and starring Felicity Jones, Armie Hammer and Justin 

Theroux, is based on the experience of Ruth Bader 

Ginsburg who studied law not only for herself but to 

cover for her ill husband, only to find on his recovery 

that he was offered work while she was rejected on

ART & Craft show 

moves to selmeston 

Six Sussex Artists and Craftsmen have exhibited at 

the English Wine Centre since 1976. It has become for 

many loyal followers a seasonal fixture. So imagine the 

shock for Jonathan Chiswell Jones to learn earlier in 

the year that the venue was up for sale and the Centre 

declared bankrupt. His deposit might have gone, but 

Jonathan felt certain the show had to continue. 

Alciston and Selmeston Village Hall stands a mile or 

two off the A27. The hall is spacious, well equipped and 

available, so the annual exhibition will move there, and 

be open to the public on 2nd and 3rd November. 

And who will be there, and why should we care? 

Well, the word ‘craft’ carries a multitude of meanings, 

but if you make time to visit, you will discover that 

people who have devoted their lives to making 

beautiful and useful objects can still surprise and delight 

with their skills. You will see Jonathan’s lustreware, which 

reflects soft light; a confusion of colours in Louise 

Bell’s quilts; hand 

knitwear bolder 

than you can 

imagine from Alison 

Ellen; Chris 

Alley’s beautifully 

chosen and finished 

woodwork; Amanda 

Zoe’s shining 

azure enamels; and 

woodblock prints 

which capture the spirit of loving attention to the 

world around us from Sue Scullard. 

We live in an age of mundane wonders. What 

computers and phones alone can do should stun us, 

yet they soon become unremarkable. The work of the 

human hand seems different – we might not know 

how to do it, but we can recognise the spirit in which 

beautiful objects are made. It needs only a lifetime 

of practice and love to create beauty from simple 

substance. All the work at the show is for sale. All the 

makers will be there.

a landscape 

of love 

There can be nothing worse than the 

death of a beloved child. This was the 

tragedy faced by Seaford artist Sally- 

Mae Joseph and her family when her 

daughter Debby Van Dyk lost her year-long fight 

with cancer at the end of last September aged 43. 

Since that time Sally-Mae has been exploring and 

revisiting the places that were emotionally important 

to Debby, and painting some 

extraordinarily involving but 

upbeat images of areas including 

Debby’s home for four years, 

Seaford, along with Pagham 

and Selsey in West Sussex 

where she used to visit her 

grandparents, Gipsy Hill in 

London, the Glastonbury 

Stones, Plockton on the Kyle of Lochalsh 

in Scotland and Alpbach and Innsbruck in Austria. 

work, in bright acrylics – and chickens, 

expressed – a new venture for Sally- 

Mae – in linocuts. 

The exhibition is being sponsored by 

Oak Furnitureland, the company at which 

Debby was Creative Director, meaning 

all profits will go to Cancer Research 

UK and Dorothy House Hospice. The 

Crypt Gallery will 

be open each 

day from 10am 

until 5pm. For 

more information 

and images 

go to www. 

sallymaejoseph. 

co.uk or 

instagram@ 

sallymaej 

osephartist. 

Images from top: Sally-Mae works on a painting of 

Plockton in the west of Scotland; The Seven Sisters 

from the Coastguard Cottages; Poppies. 

The result is a solo art exhibition of around 30 pictures 

called A Landscape of Love, to be held at the Crypt 

Gallery in Church Street from 21st to 28th September. 

Sally-Mae said: ‘This is my way of being connected to my 

beautiful daughter Debby and is a fundraiser for Cancer 

Research and the place where Debby was looked after 

with so much compassion and care, Dorothy House 

Hospice near Bath.’ 

She added: ‘During my painting journey I’ve been 

exploring the urban and rural landscapes that evoke 

memory of Debby, in the places that were special to her 

whether she lived there or loved them as a visitor. For 

instance, she loved the vibrancy of Gipsy Hill where she 

lived in London, adored visiting friends in Austria, had 

such fun with her own two daughters Mia and Ella and 

husband Chris along Seaford seafront, and spent a very 

special holiday in Plockton with me, her father Nigel, 

brother Mark and sisters Becky and Alice.’ Also included 

are images of flowers and animals, like Debby’s favourite 

magnolias – exuberantly painted, like much of Sally-Mae’s 


Sussex Arts Collective 

COLLECTIONS SIX 

The Cuckmere Room Crypt Gallery,

September until Thursday 3rd October 

2019. Open 10am – 4pm Mon –Sat (Closed 

Wednesdays), Sundays 12 – 3pm. FREE 

ENTRY to exhibition and medieval undercroft 

COLLECTIONS returns! After a short break away 

during Artwave, the Sussex Arts Collective return to 

resume their year-long residency in the Cuckmere 

Room at the Crypt Gallery. 

Over the next four months the Collective will be 

presenting even more diverse and eclectic artwork 

from their membership; those you may be familiar 

with as well from their ever-increasing circle of 

innovative contemporary artists and crafts people 

to delight and tempt you. 

Alongside the exhibitions they intend to stage at least 

two special events: one for Armistice and a second to 

launch a new publication by local poet Peter Martin. 

COLLECTIONS SIX SPOTLIGHT 

Franziska Wieser 

This month we spotlight 

long-time resident of Seaford 

and weaver, Franziska Wieser. 

Franziska has for many 

years been a prominent and 

eminent member of both the 

Sussex Arts Collective and the 

East Sussex Guild of Weavers, 

Spinners and Dyers. As a solo 

artist she exhibited at the 

first ever show at the Crypt 

Gallery in 1993 with a silk wall hanging. 

Who hasn’t coveted one of her exquisite scarves and 

throws, all of which are hand spun, dyed and woven 

on one her hand-built looms? If you haven’t I suggest 

you take another look at her work in COLLECTIONS 

SIX and see how meticulously well they are made. She 

employs a wide palette of colours to suit all seasons 

and for both male and female wearers. 

In her youth embroidery, 

sewing and other crafts 

where considered as 

good upbringing. Being 

born in Austria after 

the war life was strict 

and often girls married 

young. However, she wanted to see 

the world. She lived in Switzerland, Rome, Paris and 

London where she met her husband; in 1982 she 

married and lived first in Bedford and moved to 

Seaford in 1985. 

A wedding present inspired 

her to make patchworks 

and quilts. Very quickly she 

created her own designs 

fulfilling commissions 

and showing in galleries. 

In 1987 she became a 

member of the Sussex Guild and 

started a three-year diploma course in textiles at 

Brighton University. Following a two-year Fine Art 

Foundation course and graduating on a BA course at 

Winchester and Brighton in 1998, she started to work 

with industrial waste plastic: she plaited, wove, melted it 

and painted on it. In 2004 she was invited to show at 

the Marine Festival displaying finished work on Seaford 

beach. Not topical at the time, she was highlighting 

the dangers of plastic in our ecosystem by building 

large-scale sculptures featuring a plate of mussels, a sea 

mobile and at the Crypt Gallery she built a huge fish 

made to look as if it was swimming in the Undercroft 

all made from waste plastics. 

It was only in 2003 that she learned to spin and weave. 

She was inspired by Austrian knitted cable designs. 

Now she loves to work with many different textured 

yarns and colour combinations. She shows regularly 

with the Sussex Arts Collective and gets great pleasure 

when people enjoy and wear her scarves.

exhibitions or Franziska Wieser, contact info@

Seaford Music Society 

An invitation 

According to the great Stephen Hawking: ‘Even a 

complete theory of the universe wouldn’t remove 

the need for music’ and here in Seaford, our music 

society has been instrumental (forgive the pun!) in 

bringing some of the very best classical music, played 

by top class musicians, to our venues at St Leonard’s 

and Seaford Baptist Churches. During the last concert 

season we were treated to some breathtaking 

performances of such beauty and skill that audiences 

have almost been transported to the stars that so 

inspired Professor Hawking! Each year includes a 

family concert for audiences aged from one to 100! 

As with all our concerts, entrance is free for children 

and members, with single tickets available in advance 

as below, and from Newberry Tully Estate Agents on 

Seaford Church Street. In order to enable the society 

to continue to engage the very best musicians, and 

invest in the future by encouraging new talent, we 

invite you to consider taking out membership, which 

will support us in these aims. 

What are the benefits? 

• Entry to all six concerts in our 2019-2020 season, for 

£60, a saving of £25. 

• The opportunity to purchase one reduced priced 

guest ticket to any of the chamber music concerts. 

• Further opportunities to purchase discounted tickets 

at gala concerts and other affiliated local music 

societies (see website for further details). 

• Have your say: stand for election as a trustee of the 

Society, vote at our 2020 Annual General Meeting, 

and attend the members-only special event that 

precedes it. 

• Priority information and booking for 2020/21 season. 

It’s a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Look 

out for our new season brochure, at the Tourist 

Information Centre, and several locations in Seaford 

and the surrounding area. For further information and 

ticket enquiries, please contact the Treasurer on 01323 

491601 or visit www.seafordmusicsociety.com. We 

look forward to welcoming you at our first concert 

on Sunday 20th October 2019 at 3pm, St Leonard’s 

Church, featuring Mendelssohn’s joyous, youthful and 

exuberant Octet for Strings.

SEAFORD and DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY www.seafordhorti.com 

A view from the 

Potting Shed 

To think summer is almost past and autumn is 

approaching once again seems unbelievable 

but nights are already starting to draw in and 

days are shortening. Our gardens however should 

still be looking good with flowers, shrubs and trees 

together with crops to harvest. At the beginning of 

August the Seaford Horticultural Society held its annual 

show which was a great success. The judges had the 

difficult job of deciding whose exhibit was the best in 

the individual categories. Lots of children exhibited this 

year too with decorated flower pots and bug houses 

built from their own materials. Having viewed the 

exhibits, tea and homemade cake were then available 

to enjoy. Several visitors also made the decision to join 

the society and we look forward to welcoming them. 

At the end of the afternoon Seaford Mayor Nazish 

Adil presented the certificates to the winners and 

prize money was collected. The cups and shields will 

be presented at the AGM of the society in November. 

Autumn now approaches and thoughts turn to next 

topic of the month 

begonia 

The begonia with its variety of colourful bright 

flowers, is a genus in the family Begoniaceae 

which contains more than 1,800 different plant 

species. Certain types of begonia are useful as 

house plants whereas other types are better 

grown outdoors in the garden where they will 

do better. Being annuals they will only last the 

one year, with the ideal time for planting outside

Coffee grounds make an excellent mulch for 

begonias. Slugs and snails will feed off their leaves

wet. Perhaps not the easiest flower to grow but if 

successful will reward you with blooms of varying 

colours from July through to October.

First of all though, sit back, relax and enjoy the fruits of 

your labours, appreciate your garden for what it is and 

congratulate yourself on your achievements.

JOBS TO DO IN SEPTember 

3Dig up any remaining onions from the 

garden, dry them thoroughly before storing 

in a cool, well-ventilated place, and they 

should last for several months. 

3Remove leaves from roses that have 

mildew or blackspot to stop spores 

spreading throughout the bush. 

3Pull out summer bedding which has 

finished blooming, replace with new 

plants such as winter pansies and 

primroses which will flower during 

winter and early spring. 

3Tie in new canes of summer fruiting 

raspberries to make them secure for 

winter weather. 

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD 

The Society is looking forward to the autumn season 

including the AGM and an outing to Cliveden House 

and Gardens which promises to be a good day. At 

our social evening on Thursday 26th September, 

David Fitton from Paradise Park will give a talk on 

‘A Garden for All Seasons’. David works at The Plant 

Information Centre and is available to give gardening 

advice and tips. He trained at Wisley and was the 

former Head of Horticulture at Plumpton College. 

There will also be a Plant Sale that evening, so bring 

along spare plants you may have to sell. 



‘It’s true nature needs a little 

encouragement, but then 

so do I!’ 

It’s never too young to 

start gardening so we are 

delighted to be hosting See 

How They Grow sessions 

for little ones. With activities 

intended for under fives, 

it’s fine for families to 

bring along siblings of up 

to seven years of age on 

Monday mornings from 

10am until 12 noon at 

our garden at the Crouch, but do 

check that there are places either 

by emailing communityactivities@ 

susdsedxcommunity.org.uk or calling 

01273 519149. The family groups are 

led by Katie and Fran, and people from 

the Children’s Centre, and the sessions 

will run until 2nd September, so hurry 

if you’d like your kids to sow seeds 

and learn how to tend growing plants. At the first 

session we were glad to greet Mary and Roy from the 

allotments who came along to help the children take 

part in a scavenger hunt among other gardening and 

nature-related activities. By the way, if you’ve got some 

gardening skills you’d like to pass on 

to the next generation you’d be 

very welcome as it is hoped 

that some older gardeners will 

also come along to share their 

skills with these beginners. 

For more info see contact 

details above. 

Still speaking of what 

youngsters do, our 

children’s garden is showing their hard work, 

with tomato plants loaded down with the 

promise of deliciousness to come. What’s more, 

we gave a special welcome to Effie, aged seven, 

who made herself really useful at the start of the 

holidays picking beans when she brought her grandma 

to see us. And it’s not only beans – our produce stall 

is altogether groaning. Veg chief Bill, however, shrugged 

off congratulations. ‘Nature has done it, not me,’ he said. 

At this garden volunteers 

are always quick to 

praise the work of 

others, and when we 

admired the plums Stan 

said we’d got Phil to thank for that. And 

sure enough, under the wall by the classroom Phil 

was at work literally plucking the fruits of his labours 

as luscious Victoria-type plums rapidly filled tray after 

tray. As Stan said: ‘Phil’s an expert pruner.’ 

Phil commented about the espalier-trained 

plum: ‘Essentially at this time of year it’s 

trying to turn itself into a spherical tree 

and produce 6ft-long shoots which are no 

use and have to go. I cut everything back 

to just above a leaf junction.’ It must be 

a ‘greengage summer’ too because the 

tree next to the plum is also promising 

a great harvest to be enjoyed around 

about now. Pausing from his picking for 

a second or two, Phil added: ‘The difficulty is not being 

here all the time so we have to pick early rather than 

late and take off any that are rotting on the tree.’ 

In late July the garden was open for the Macmillan 

Trail and a few volunteers got the chance to visit the 

Macmillan Centre next to the Royal Sussex County 

Hospital in Brighton. Veronica reported: ‘It is the most 

beautiful place, with quiet 

rooms, sensory lights, music 

and a restaurant. The garden 

is open.’ We too are open, 

on Wednesday from 9.30am 

until 12.30pm and, during the 

produce season, on Saturday 

mornings from 10am until 

noon, offering fresh-picked 

veg and fruit along with a huge 

variety of plants. See you there!

seaford U3A News 

September is a time of new beginnings; new 

term at school; new weather – new season’s 

temperatures, golden leaves and autumn fruits; 

new courses at the U3A. 

This term there are 40 courses on offer at U3A ranging 

from languages, literature and opera appreciation 

through the playful (fancy a game of Mah Jong?) to 

keeping up with the world in current affairs. The old 

favourites of book groups and travel are still there 

with cookery, painting and music so there is plenty to 

encourage members to take part and meet each other 

in social surroundings. The annual membership runs from 

1st August and is only £10 per year with a small extra 

sum payable for joining a course. 

This month’s Coffee Morning will be on Wednesday 

18th September between 10am and 12 noon at the 

Constitutional Club, Crouch Lane, Seaford where nonmembers 

as well as members will be made welcome. 

At a cost of £2 for coffee and nibbles this opportunity 

to socialise can’t be missed. There is no booking – just 

come along. 

Over the past year U3A members have been on several 

interesting outings. In July members visited the Chelsea 

Physic Garden in London and this month we have space 

for a report to do it justice. 

Our coach dropped us in Battersea Park and from 

there we walked over Chelsea Bridge and along the 

Embankment. Entering the Garden from Swan Walk 

was blissful, the noise receded to a distant hum and 

it felt cool and calm. We had time to eat our picnics 

comfortably on benches in the shade until our tour 

began. 

The garden was founded by the Worshipful Society 

of Apothecaries in 1673 to grow plants to be used 

as medicines and in the 18th century the garden was 

leased to them by Sir Hans Sloane (who acquired it 

along with the rest of Chelsea Manor) for £5 a year in 

perpetuity and some good plant specimens were to be 

provided to the Royal Society. Directors ensured the 

gardens were stocked 

and developed over the 

centuries, introducing 

a seed exchange 

system and adopting 

the Linnaeus system 

of naming plants, much 

simpler and clearer 

than the previous 

Latin ones. They have 

5000 different edible, 

useful, medicinal and 

historical plants, 100 

species of trees and 

it is still one of the 

most important centres of botany in the world. The 

garden lost its riverbank access in the 1870s due to the 

development of the Embankment which provided the 

sewers designed by Bazalgette. In 1984 it was ‘saved’ 

by becoming a registered charity and the Swan Walk 

door was opened to the public. The Pond Rock Garden 

(pictured) is Grade ll-listed, dating from 1773, made 

with basalt, clam shells from Tahiti and masonry from 

the Tower of London. Teak glasshouses built in 1902 

house a Tropical Corridor, Atlantic Islands, Cool Fernery, 

Southern Hemisphere and others. 

Time was pressing. Some of us decided a beer or tea 

was a necessary lifesaver, then a quick look round the 

lovely shop and suddenly it was time to make the noisy 

walk back to the coach. 

For more information about Seaford U3A and 

also about its linked organisations, Sussex U3A 

Network (SUN) and SE U3A Region, see the 

website www.u3asites.org.uk/seaford. To find 

out about membership check this website or

morning and have a chat.

Best ever 

macmillan 

coastal trail 

Geoff Stonebanks tells us that the 

Macmillan Coastal Garden Trail, which 

took place over the weekend of the 27th 

and 28th July, was the best ever trail over 

the eight years on several levels. 

Geoff said, ‘Despite the poor weather on the Saturday, 

which saw TV gardener Christine Walkden and 

Macmillan’s Head of Volunteer Development, Ruth 

Leonard, deliver their speeches in the rain, while the 

assembled 40 present stood in my garage, we raised 

well over £9,000 for the charity.’ 

Twenty-one gardens opened over the two days, 11 

brand new to the trail. Two of the favourites based 

on feedback given to Geoff were the walled garden 

in Bishopstone and a new garden in Saltdean in 

Wivelsfield Road. 

Ruth said: ‘Every day, 28 people in Sussex hear the 

devastating news that they have cancer, with more than 

10,000 people diagnosed every year and it is expected 

that the amount of people living with and beyond 

cancer in Sussex will be 95,000 by 2030. Fundraised 

income makes up 98% of Macmillan’s income – which 

means the dedication and generosity of our supporters 

like Geoff is absolutely essential to changing the lives 

of people living with cancer. Geoff has singlehandedly 

raised nearly £80,000 for the Horizon Centre through 

his Driftwood Fundraising Group Committee, including 

£54,000 from this amazing Macmillan Coastal Garden 

trail alone. We hope to continue to inspire people like 

Geoff and others to donate, volunteer and campaign 

so we can be right there for years to come.’ 

Christine loved the day and spent seven hours with 

Geoff at Driftwood and visiting three of the other 

gardens too. She said: ‘What is really obvious from all 



the gardens that 

opened is the 

very hard work 

and effort that 

everyone puts 

in to make the 

day a success. 

It’s not just 

this effort but 

the emotional 

journey that takes place for everyone involved, 

from despair to success when a visitor turns up. The 

gardens, all in their own way, were special and really 

worth seeing. What an amazing effort from all involved. 

I admire the determination, flair and love that is shown 

in each garden.’ 

Geoff confirmed he has already had three more 

brand-new gardens put their names forward for the 

2020 event, which will be held on the weekend of 25th 

and 26th July. Read more details about the 2019 event

the hobby 

In September we’ll be leading some local walks 

to look out for migrating birds as they head over 

Seaford Head and on towards Africa to spend the 

winter in a warmer climate. 

One of my favourite 

migrant birds that 

will be embarking on 

this long-haul flight is 

an agile falcon – the 

Hobby. Hobbies look 

debonair and dashing. 

With their black ‘eye 

mask’ and drooping ‘moustache’ there’s a touch of Zorro 

about them. And, like that enigmatic swordsman, hobbies 

are famed for their speed and dexterity. 

Superficially the Hobby looks similar to the Peregrine 

which along with the Kestrel makes up the trio of falcons 

that breed in Sussex. But Peregrines are very different 

birds. Peregrines started raising their families way back in 

April and adult Peregrines are up to four times heavier 

than a Hobby. Peregrines hunt by putting their weight 

behind their attack whereas Hobbies use aerial agility 

and acceleration; the ninja to the Peregrine’s sumo. 

The Hobby’s slender scimitar wings slice the air as they 

twist, turn and tumble to pluck their victims from the 

sky in their talons. It’s these victims that are the reason 

for the Hobby’s 4,000 mile journey from Africa and the 

reason for their late egg-laying. The birth of the hungry 

Hobby chicks is perfectly synchronised with their food 

supply, which is most abundant in the Sussex skies in July, 

August and September. Hobbies specialise in catching the 

uncatchable; swallows, martins, swifts and dragonflies – all 

accomplished aviators themselves who probably thought 

that they were invincible whilst airborne.

newhaven 

ladies veteranS 

After spending 20 years supporting my kids from 

the sideline, I decided to have a kick around myself. 

Accompanied by several other mums (around 10) we 

decided to start up a fun fitness football evening. Little 

did we know that this was going to be as popular and as 

fast-growing as it has been, and would be our first steps 

to becoming the first Ladies Veterans Team in this area. 

In fact, we have inspired other local clubs to start their 

own teams. 

We have gone from 10 of 

us to having 68 members 

on our Facebook page. 

Some train regularly, some only a few times, but we 

work on the ethos ‘you do what you can, when you can’ 

– family always comes first.The team has grown so large 

that we have had to change venues from a small inside 

pitch to an outdoors full-size football pitch. Since those 

very first few weeks, our team has grown and has been 

joined by some of the loveliest, most talented ladies 

I have ever met. Laughter is an essential ingredient to 

every training session; fun is another. 

We have grown so quickly that we felt it necessary 

to gain support from the professionals. This is where 

Newhaven FC stepped in. After a very successful 

meeting it was decided we would make local history 

and become the first Ladies Veterans team in the local 

area. We’ve had tremendous support. Marion’s Cafe in 

Seaford and Positive Touch Therapy in Newhaven are 

our sponsers and I think you agree we rock the kit! We 

have been invited to play at festivals to celebrate ladies’

the highlight was to become semi-finalists in

of these ladies. We encourage women from 

everywhere to come and join! There is no commitment 

so we welcome women to come and experience a 

training session with our fabulous team to see if it’s 

something you enjoy. We currently play non-competitive 

games and have the option to change this in the future 

but we are more than happy as we are right now. 

My daughter Hayley, also main sponsor and owner of

Restoring Hope 

After a Suicide 

Each year in the UK alone, more than 6000 

people take their own lives. Every suicide has 

a devastating and lasting impact on family, 

friends and communities. Suicide cuts across 

all genders, ages and economic barriers. Rich 

and poor, men and women, young children, old 

people and adolescents all take their lives. No 

one is immune. 

The impact of suicide on those left behind is lifelong. 

When a loved-one dies it is devastating: when a loved 

one dies by their own hand, the grief is magnified by 

feelings of disgrace, incomprehension, confusion and 

rage. Survivors feel responsible, guilty, angry, isolated, 

confused and abandoned. Corrosive thoughts such as 

these may be further compounded by feelings of 

shame and stigma. The ripples of suicide are 

overpowering and far-reaching. 

Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (SOBS) is a 

national charity providing support to adults over 18 

who have been bereaved by suicide. It has a self-help 

support group in Lewes, where those affected by 

suicide can connect with others also suffering from the 

trauma of suicide. The group, led by Peter Bridgewater, 

who has himself been bereaved by suicide, provides a 

safe and confidential opportunity to listen, share, ask 

questions and connect with others similarly bereaved. 

We know it takes great courage to come to a group. 

You won’t have to talk if you don’t want to – many 

people don’t, particularly if it’s their first time – but 

you may also find that giving and receiving support 

within such a group becomes a lifeline: a way of 

gradually accepting your loss and making peace with 

your own torment. 

Group meetings are held on the 2nd & 4th 

Thursdays of every month and last for two 

hours – between 6.30pm and 8.30pm. 

If you feel this group might be beneficial, contact Peter 

on: 07902 084 397 or email: sobs.southdowns@gmail. 

com. Peter will answer all your questions, settle nerves 

and, hopefully, help you decide if it’s the right thing for 

you to try. 

Photo: Peter Bridgewater is the Group Leader of the South 

Downs group, which meets in Lewes. Like all volunteers 

working for Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide, he too is 

a survivor – losing both parents many years ago.

Seaford Beach Parkrun 

what happens on 

seaford prom 

every saturday 

morning? 

That is the question not all Seaford residents will be 

able to answer. 

The answer is simple – it is the Seaford Beach parkrun, 

which takes place every single Saturday at 9am, starting 

and finishing at the Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club, 

Marine Parade, Seaford, BN225 2QR. 

The parkrun is completely free and accessible to 

everyone, of all abilities, and it is totally non-competitive. 

Although it is called a parkrun, running is not 

compulsory, so, whether you want to walk, run or do a 

combination of the two, you are welcome to take part. 

It is also open to people in wheelchairs, to those pushing

a buggy or people with a dog on a lead. Children under 

the age of 11 years can also take part – providing they 

run with an adult – but those above that age can take 

part on their own. 

The event is coordinated entirely by volunteers and 

is motivated by the social side of running. It is free to 

enter, all you need to do is register once with parkrun 

www.parkrun.org.uk/register. You will receive your own 

personal barcode. 

Seaford Beach parkrun is only possible thanks to the 

kindness and support of local groups and businesses, 

so I would like to take this opportunity to publicly 

thank them. They are: The Focus Group, Seaford Rotary, 

Seaford Striders Running Club, Moyleman Half Marathon, 

Fonetastic, Brighton Accommodation Agency, Newberry 

Tully Estate Agents, Flowers & Son, Gingerfit Personal 

Trainers, Kaizen PR Ltd and Seaford Town Council. 

If you are unsure about taking part in the parkrun, why 

not come along and volunteer? Just get in touch with the 

team www.parkrun.org.uk/seafordbeach. We couldn’t 

hold this event without people coming forward and 

offering their assistance and we all stop off for a cup of 

tea or coffee after the event in the cafe. 

Parkruns are a brilliant way to start your Saturday – if 

you volunteer then you start by having done your good 

deed for the day and if you take part then you are set 

up mentally for the day. No-one cares whether you are 

running or walking; you are all part of the parkrun family 

and we cheer everyone home.

inner wheel club 

Rosemary Carlisle, a long-standing member of 

Seaford Inner Wheel, was privileged to be one of 

the representatives of the Seaford branch of Save 

the Children to attend a garden party at Frogmore 

House, Windsor. 

The Garden Party was part of the Centenary 

Celebrations for Save the Children. The Patron of Save 

the Children, HRH The Princess Royal, Princess Anne 

greeted representatives from various branches. HRH 

The Princess Royal has been the Patron of Save the 

Children since 2016 after serving as President since 

1970. Members of Seaford Inner Wheel have been 

involved in fundraising activities for Save the Children for 

many years. 

One hundred years ago Save the Children was founded 

by Eglantyne Jebb (photo left), along with her sister 

Dorothy, who held a public meeting in London’s Royal 

Albert Hall. They had a vision to achieve and protect 

the rights of children worldwide. Their mission was very 

simple – to work for 

children left sick and 

starving in Europe after 

the First World War. 

However, a century on 

from when Save the 

Children was founded, children need our help more than 

ever before. More children are living in conflict now than 

at any time in the past 20 years, millions more are not 

getting the vaccinations they need to grow up healthy, or 

the care they need when they’re sick, and they’re being 

denied an education. Eglantyne Jebb was driven by the 

belief that all children – whoever they are, wherever 

they are – have the right to healthy, happy, fulfilling lives 

and that right continues. 

During July, in addition to their regular meeting, members 

joined representatives of other Inner Wheel Clubs for 

the District Assembly in Ashington Village Hall. The club 

with the highest number of Inner Wheelers attending 

was Seaford! A coffee morning later in the month 

hosted by Pat Allen in her home was also enjoyed 

by members.

Running, Recycling and Going Green 

It’s not just the beach and the Downs which 

make Seaford a great place to live in the summer 

months. There’s always plenty of things to do and 

get out and about and involved with. And that’s 

exactly what we’ve been doing. 

We were delighted to finally catch up with (not 

literally - they’re too fast) the Junior Section of 

Seaford Striders. It was great to see them all 

having fun and being active. The juniors’ group and 

the adult sections are both thriving and it’s thanks 

to all the volunteers who make it happen. 

And by the time you read this Seaford would’ve 

enjoyed its largest ever arts event – The Green 

Show, which took place at South Hill Barn over 

ten days last month. We were approached by the 

organisers for sponsorship many months ago and 

it’s been fantastic to see what they created. 

Andrew also spent an evening with the Martello 

Rotary Club and a local ‘green’ goddess, 

environmental champion Claire Sumners. 

Aside from Seaford’s busy social calendar the local 

property market has been bearing up surprisingly 

well considering the political uncertainty. 

Properties are still coming on to the market and 

there are still serious buyers out there, many 

looking to move to Seaford to enjoy all the above 

kind of social events and community groups we’ve 

highlighted in this month’s article. 

Thanks for reading, 

Andrew and Stephen

home in the current property market please get

Advertorial 

The Alpha course is coming to 

Seaford Parish in September 2019 

Seaford Parish Churches are delighted to 

announce that starting from September the 

26th 2019 we will be running an Alpha course” 

So, what is an Alpha course? The Alpha course is simply 

an opportunity to explore and discuss some of the big 

philosophical questions in life: – Does God exist? What 

is God like? Can I know Him? What is the real purpose 

of life? There are no dramatic appeals or expectations 

that by attending a course you are then going to 

become part of the Church. Alpha courses began life 

in the Anglican Church almost 40 years ago, but have 

grown in popularity, to the point where they are now 

run all over the world and in every mainstream church. 

The Alpha course has been translated into over 110 

different languages; it is estimated that nearly thirty 

million people worldwide have attended an Alpha 

course. Yes, that is 30,000,000! 

What actually happens? On an Alpha evening a number 

of folk will meet together as in any social event. The 

participants have a meal together, watch a short film that 

presents a specific topic, which is then followed by an 

opportunity to discuss openly, in a small group, what this 

means to us as individuals…quite simple really! 

Who is the Alpha course for? Alpha is for everyone, 

older or younger, churchgoers or anyone not familiar 

with the Church. Alpha is for anyone who is interested 

in coming along to a friendly social occasion and talking 

through some of life’s bigger questions! You do not need 

to hold any particular beliefs but will be very welcome 

to discuss your own and others’ views, in fact, the more 

diverse views people have, the more interesting the 

evenings promise to be. Importantly there is no pressure 

to agree with others, maybe a hope that we can disagree 

respectfully, maybe even learn a thing or two. 

No such thing a free lunch – is there a cost involved? 

Not at all – the evenings and the meal are offered 

completely free, if people want to make a donation 

they will be welcome to but if not then that is 

absolutely fine. 

When and where? A typical Alpha course will run for 

11 successive weeks. Ours will start on Thursday 26th 

September and will continue over the following 10 

Thursdays. The course will run at St Luke’s Church, 

Walmer Road in the Chyngton area of Seaford. We will 

be meeting from 6.45pm for a meal at 7pm and will be 

finished by 9pm. 

To find out more or to register please ring the parish 

office on 01323 894216 and leave a message, or you 

can email alpha@seafordparish.org.uk – someone will 

respond to your questions very shortly. 

We would be delighted to welcome you to this 

community event. 

Damien Brennan, The Parish of Sutton with Seaford. 


Refill Seaford and Newhaven 

summer is 

nearly over 

It has been a lovely summer 

this year with so many able to 

enjoy themselves in the new 

beach huts. I spent some time 

there myself and it got me 

thinking more about how lucky 

we are to live in such a beautiful 

place. So many of us are still 

picking up far too many plastic 

bottles and drinks cans round 

the town, however. This is why 

it is essential we have as many places as possible 

on the Refill app offering locals and visitors the 

chance to fill up whilst they are out and about. In 

London there are going to be another 50 drinking 

fountains and we wait in anticipation to see 

what is going to happen in The Salts and on the 

seafront in Seaford. 

Our parks and green spaces are still getting 

too much litter of all sorts just left in them as is the 

seafront, even when the bins are very close by. If 

anyone has an answer to this please let us know! As for 

verges and our main roads, just don’t get me started 

– and yes, drinks-related litter is the main part of it. 

On the positive side we have just welcomed Seaford 

business JXP Mortgages to Refill, where you can fill 

your bottle. Also, The Downs Leisure Centre has now 

officially joined the scheme.

The highlight of my month was however when I met 

up with Wayne Dixon and his dog Koda. You may have 

noticed them on the beach or in town as they were 

here for a couple of days. They are walking round the 

coast raising money for Mind and have got half way 

now, having covered 3,700 miles. I did a little picking 

walk from Splash Point across Seaford Head Golf 

course with them as far as Friston Forest. They 

both loved our beautiful area and we picked 

two bags of litter; I brought all the recyclable 

bottles and cans home with me of course. 

Wayne noticed we have a big problem with 

cigarette butts here, something that needs 

addressing nationally. 

Another new positive 

thing is that Plastic Free 

Newhaven has been 

launched, so we hope 

to hear more from them 

in future. 

Remember that around 

the world a million plastic 

bottles are bought every 

minute and this is still rising. 

Have you got the bottle to 

join the #refillrevolution? 

Finally, if you run or know of a business that wants 

to join the scheme do let us know or they can sign 

themselves up using the app or website. There are now 

over 16,000 nationally and it is growing every week. 

Please don’t forget you can download the Refill app 

at www.refill.org.uk/get-the-refill-app to get the 

location maps to find Refill points and also register 

your business and others if you have their permission. 

If you want a Chilly’s bottle which keeps your drink hot 

or cold, you can buy one of these yourself from refill. 

org.uk/buy-a-bottle and Chilly’s will make donation of 

up to £10 to the Refill campaign.

the rainbow pad 

Seaford’s new Mayor, Councillor 

Nazish Adil, certainly entered into 

the spirit of the event when she 

officially opened The Rainbow Pad 

on 21st July. 

The Pad is an exercise and play space located on 

what was once the top of stairs leading down to 

the beach near Frankie’s Cafe. It was the brainchild 

of local resident and musician Chris Conil, who 

was also responsible for most of the planning 

and creation of the space. Chris brought his band 

to enliven the event and Mayor Nazish took little 

persuasion to join in the fun by showing us her skill 

at hopscotch. This was another project to enhance our 

seafront initiated by the Seaford Gateway Group, in 

coordination with Seaford Town Council. 

The Gateway Group is a committee of local residents 

who strive to enhance the seafront for the benefit of 

local people and visitors. Allied 

with the Seaford Community 

Partnership and with the help 

and support of Seaford Town 

Council, this grouping has so far 

given us The Shoal, the Outdoor 

Gym and the Beach Garden. 

If you are enjoying a walk along the seafront this 

summer, you may be tempted to test your hopscotch 

skills and dazzle the passersby.

Scam Awareness 

Don’t be a victim of a scam 

Seaford Rotary and their Business Partners are pleased 

to reproduce monthly extracts from the Little Book 

of Big Scams, originally compiled by the Australian 

Competition and Consumer Commission and made 

available by the Metropolitan and Sussex Police. 

These extracts should be seen as a general guide to 

many scams currently operating in the UK and have 

been included in Seaford Scene to increase your 

awareness of these scams and show you some easy 

steps that you can take to protect yourselves and others. 

Scams target people of all ages, backgrounds and income 

levels. One of the best ways to fight the scammers is to 

take steps to prevent yourself from being caught out in 

the first place. 

Do not be embarrassed to report a scam. Because the 

scammers are cunning and clever there is no shame 

in being deceived. By reporting you will make it more 

difficult for the scammers to deceive others. 

If you want to stay on top of scams and up to date 

about crime prevention advice, visit Sussex Police 

website where you can learn of current information 

on different types of scam, new scam stories, alerts 

and advice. 

Internet and shopping scams 

Many Internet scams take place without the victim 

even noticing. Scammers may attempt to put programs 

on your computer that can steal, wipe or lock your 

data. To prevent this ensure you have anti-virus 

software and a firewall installed on your computer and 

keep it up to date. If you are aware of the following 

precautions and apply common sense then you should 

be able to prevent yourself from becoming a victim. 

What you should know 

Scammers can use the Internet to promote fraud 

through unsolicited or junk emails known as spam. 

Delete the email otherwise the scammer will continue 

to send you more and more emails from lots of 

different addresses. 

Any email you receive that comes from an unknown 

sender is likely to be spam especially if it is not addressed 

to you personally and promises you some gain. 

If you receive an email with an attachment from 

someone you know but it is not the usual sort of 

message you get from them, DO NOT open the 

attachment. Speak to the person who is supposed 

to have sent it to confirm its origin. It may have been 

infected with a virus and forwarded through their 

address book. 

Online market places can be a lot of fun and can save 

you money but scammers also use them. Scammers will 

try to steer you away from online sites and request that 

you use unusual payment methods, e.g. money transfer 

agents or Emoney, a digital equivalent of cash. 

Scammers use Internet sites advertising concert and 

event tickets, apartments, residential and holiday lettings, 

dating and romance and vehicles for sale or hire 

(especially if hire vehicles are to be delivered to you). 

Adverts and websites can be very sophisticated so 

do some research to ensure everything makes sense. 

Always consider your personal safety when meeting 

anyone you have met on the Internet. 

l Be careful of bogus official-looking websites claiming 

to assist in applying for passports, visas and driving 

licences. 

l There are lots of ways scammers gain personal and/ 

or financial information from victims – e.g. Phishing 

(unsolicited email purporting to be from a legitimate 

company requiring personal details), Vishing (voice 

over cold calling purporting to be from a legitimate 

company requiring personal details) and Spear 

Phishing (type of phishing scam that focuses on 

an individual or department within an organisation, 

addressed from someone within the company in 

a position of trust). Using these methods, scammers 


equest information such as login details and 

passwords. 

l Never give your personal or financial details to 

anyone unless you know and trust who you are 

giving them to. 

Remember 

Delete all messages without reading them if they are 

from someone you don’t know. If you open it by mistake 

and it has an attachment it may be a virus. 

Caution 

Don’t reply to spam emails even to unsubscribe, and do 

not click on any links or call any telephone number listed 

in a spam email. Ensure you have up-to-date anti-virus 

and firewall software. 

Think 

Why is that person contacting me? Be wary of any 

request to use an unusual payment/refund method. 

Investigate 

Make sure the sites are genuine as some business 

websites can be copied, cloned or redirected. 

Online shopping scams 

Online 

shopping is 

becoming 

more and 

more popular. 

It can save 

time and effort 

and gives you a wide choice of goods from around 

the world. Scammers will use online shopping scams 

because they can hide their identity using the Internet. 

What you should know 

l Scammers will often try to encourage you to leave 

a legitimate site to complete a sale. If you do this 

you could lose any payment protection the 

legitimate auction site offers its users. 

l It’s unlikely for luxury or designer goods to 

be associated with the words ‘cheap’ or ‘bargain’. 

Scammers will often over-emphasise words such as 

‘genuine’ and ‘authentic’. 

l Never pay for a vehicle without viewing it, and 

relevant documentation, in person first. You may be 

offered a low price or discount to make payment 

prior to seeing the car or it being delivered – don’t. 

l Just because 

a website says 

it’s co.uk 

doesn’t mean it 

is based in the 

UK. Check the 

address of the 

company and the phone number. 

l Beware when selling items online. Scammers can 

enter a very low bid and then using another name 

enter an extremely high bid. Just before bidding 

closes the high bidder will withdraw leaving the 

scammer’s low bid to win. 

l Research the sellers and any other bidders’ 

selling history. 

Remember 

Paying by credit card offers greater protection than with 

other methods. 

Caution 

Check that the payment page is secure. A padlock is in 

the browser, the web address starts https:/ – this stands 

for secure, ask yourself: Why am I being encouraged to 

buy off site? 

Investigate 

Check the seller’s terms and conditions including privacy 

and returns policy taken from the social media profile of 

another person.

seaford choral 

society 

A big thank you to our audiences for their great 

support again this year. We love singing, but 

being able to sing to a packed house makes it 

even more rewarding. Thank you as well for all 

the wonderful feedback. It’s good to know that 

you agree with the direction we are going. 

A Little Quiz – with the chance to win two tickets 

to the next concert. It’s easy because all the answers are 

on the website or Facebook page (mostly the website). 

Just find the numbers, add them together and send your 

total via the website (‘Contact’). The subject is ‘General 

Enquiry’ and in ‘Your Enquiry’ write ‘The Seaford Scene 

Quiz total is...’ First correct answer receives two tickets. 

1. On which day in November is the Autumn Concert? 

2. We have about...members in the choir. 

3. What is the cost in £s of a concert ticket? 

4. We have enjoyed Colin Hughes’ direction for the 

last ...years. 

5. Our subs remain some of the lowest of any choir 

at only £...per term. 

As you will know by now from your extensive web 

research, we start singing again on 2nd September at 

Seaford Baptist Church – 6.45pm for 7.15pm. Come 

along and see. You may be surprised. The main piece this 

term is Rutter’s Magnificat. It’s an exceptionally beautiful 

piece that we are all looking forward to singing. 

Do you have a favourite local charity? Each concert 

raises money for a local charity. This year we have given 

over £1,700 to SSAFA (armed forces’ charity supported 

by our WW1 centenary concert), Beach Head 

Chaplaincy, Waves and Home Link. Amongst others we 

have recently supported are Seahaven Storehouse, Youth 

Counselling Project, St James’ Trust, CTLA (Community 

Transport), St Wilfred’s Hospice and Autism Sussex. If 

you have a favourite local charity you would like us to 

support, please let us know.

afternoon 

flower club 

Our meeting this month will be held on Thursday 

19th September when we will be welcoming our local 

florists from Ambers in Broad Street to demonstrate 

‘Leaves are Falling, Autumn is Calling’. It is always 

interesting to watch professional florists at work and 

to marvel at how easy they make things appear whilst 

creating beautiful arrangements. 

Our competition is entitled ‘September Song’ and we 

are expecting a good display from our members. 

In July we welcomed Colin Whiteman, a local botanical 

and wildlife expert who gave us an extremely 

interesting illustrated talk on ‘A Wildlife Flower Garden’. 

Some of our members will be helping to decorate 

St Leonard’s Church, Seaford for their flower festival 

which will be held from Friday 20th to Monday 23rd 

September. Do pop in and have a look at the lovely 

displays interpreting the theme ‘Called to Serve’.

Seaford 

Photographic 

Society 

As I write this, in early August, it is the quietest period 

of the year for the club as everybody is hopefully 

out there being creative and taking lots of photos 

during the summer break. As always though, there is 

a lot going on behind the scenes and the committee, 

which includes several new members, is busy getting 

everything organised for next season. The programme 

is now finalised, the annual exhibition organised, and 

the new website up and running, more of which below.

Our first meeting of the new season is on Friday 

6th September, when we welcome everybody back 

from the summer break and also hopefully get to 

meet some potential new members. If you’d like to 

know more about what we do this is an excellent 

opportunity to just come along and have an informal 

chat, and even join us for a drink in the bar. Joining 

a camera club is a great way to meet up with likeminded 

people as well as learning loads of new 

stuff and improving your photography. As usual, the 

programme for the year features a mix of competitions, 

lectures, illustrated talks, workshops and practical 

evenings. Full details are on the new website. 

As mentioned above, the committee does a lot of 

work behind the scenes, all unpaid of course, but 

many of us also have full-time jobs as well. The old 

website had been developed and expanded over 

several years. It used old technology and had become 

quite complicated, as a result of which it was very 

time-consuming to keep up to date and we just didn’t 

have sufficient resources to maintain it properly. This 

has now changed and a completely new website has 

been designed and launched. The new web address is 

www.seafordps.org. This is exactly the same as before 

but without a ‘.uk’ at the end. You will notice that is 

much more straightforward than the old one, with the 

emphasis on keeping it simple, informative and easy 

to edit. The main thing to note is that it will now be 

updated every week or two to show the competition 

winners and images, and any news updates. So do 

bookmark the page, and keep coming back to see 

what’s going on. There is already a lot of information 

on there about the club, including the full 2019/20 

programme. More will be added over the coming 

weeks, including members’ galleries and ongoing 

league scores. 

Our Annual Exhibition this year will be at a new venue 

and time. It will be for one weekend only, just before 

Christmas, so is a great opportunity to stock up on 

some presents. The dates are Saturday 30th November 

and Sunday 1st December at Seaford’s Constitutional 

Club in Crouch Lane, so do make a note in your 

diaries. We are very excited about this new venue for 

our show and more details will follow nearer the time. 

As always there will be around 100 photos on display 

with lots more for sale in browsers. There will also be 

a bar and food available, as well as a raffle to win your 

favourite photo. 

Our regular club meetings are held every Friday 

between September and the end of May at Seaford 

Constitutional Club, Crouch Lane, Seaford, BN25 1PU. 

Doors open at 7pm for a 7.45pm start. There is a bar 

where club members can socialise during the break.

‘Age does not define us; our voices can 

unlock the past and create the future.’ 

An exciting new intergenerational music project is 

launching in schools and care homes across East 

Sussex in conjunction with World Alzheimer’s 

Awareness Month this September. 

Key stage 1 children are working along side local care 

home residents in Eastbourne to deliver a 10-week 

project which aims to unite two diverse age groups 

through creative music making. The project is devised 

and lead by two Sussex-based opera singers who met 

whilst working at Glyndebourne Festival Opera and is 

supported by East Sussex Music Service. They are keen 

to develop links with local Seaford schools and care 

homes who might be interested in taking part. 

‘Society already acknowledges the scientifically proven 

research that supports the power of music therapy 

for Alzheimer’s and dementia sufferers. Our project 

takes this idea further to help increase social skills, build 

confidence and enhance overall wellbeing for both 

adults and children through creative music making. We 

also hope that the relationships formed between these 

two diverse age groups will have a far-reaching positive 

impact on the community as a whole.’ 

For further details of how to get your care home 

or schools involved, please contact Charlotte Shaw 

and Charlotte Wicks at Intergenopera@gmail.com.

Seaford Town Council 

accessible beach 

access for all 

Seaford Town Council was proud to join 

forces with local resident Sam Taylor 

in the grand opening ceremony of the 

new accessible beach on Saturday 20th 

July. The weather was kind, although a 

little breezy, the rain stayed away, and 

the sun shone. 

Seaford’s Town Crier, Peter White, opened the 

ceremony, handing over to the Mayor of Seaford, Cllr 

Nazish Adil, who thanked the Town Council and Sam 

Taylor for their hard work in completing this inspiring 

project: ‘I just want to thank everybody, especially 

Tony Jackson, the facilities manager from Seaford Town 

Council, and David Archer from Seaford Builders 

Club, the Seaford Martello Rotary Club, participating 

councillors, plus everybody who got behind the 

project. Special congratulations to Sam Taylor for being 

so thoughtful of taking the initiative. This platform area 

will allow everybody with mobility issues to access our 

beach. Many people take this for granted. When your 

mobility is restricted, this platform will make a huge 

difference. It’s such a pleasure to see a great turnout 

and I loved sharing the joy of the mobility-challenged 

locals who expressed their excitement with laughter 

and cheers. Well done to everybody!’ 

In attendance at the grand opening was the President 

of the Seaford Martello Rotary Club and Seaford Town 

Councillor, Cllr Rodney Reed; Project and Facilities 

Manager at Seaford Town Council, Tony Jackson; 

fundraiser Simon Perry; and approx. 20 members of 

the public. Seaford Town Council has worked closely 

with resident Sam Taylor, as well as the Environment 

Agency and Lewes District Council. Sam was absolutely 

thrilled with the success of this joint venture. 

Something many of us take for granted will mean so 

much to those who may have not been able to feel the 

sea breeze and see the waves crashing on the shore. 

Thank you to all those involved in this wonderful 

project. This has been 

successful due to the 

amount of funding 

that was raised partly 

from public donations 

(thanks to Sam’s use 

of social media to raise 

awareness), as well as 

donations from the 

Seaford Martello Rotary 

Club and from Simon 

Perry, who raised 

funds through his very 

popular pub quiz. A 

special thank you 

must also go to The 

Builders Club who 

provided the material 

for the initial decking 

and labour for the 

entire project at no charge. 

Seaford Town Council is pleased to work with any 

individual or organisation on similar projects that 

result in enhancements to the town to the benefit of 

residents and visitors.

September Heralds World 

Alzheimer’s month 

In May 2014, Verna Rose, 87, was admitted to 

Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford 

as an emergency. Five years on, Verna’s niece, 

Valerie, shares their story and offers advice to 

others who may find themselves in a similar 

situation. 

My Aunt Verna is my father’s sister, the youngest of four 

siblings. Verna celebrated her 92nd birthday in August. 

Originally from Canada, Verna was always outgoing and 

athletic. Although she never married nor had children, 

Verna had a very tightknit group of five school friends - 

friendships that endured for well over 70 years. 

After qualifying as a teacher in her early twenties, 

Verna travelled to Europe, eventually settling in Brixton, 

London, where she worked as an art teacher in a 

number of schools. After retiring, Verna moved to 

Seaford, East Sussex. She travelled extensively, always 

discovering new hobbies and interests. 

In 2013, her closest friend was the first to notice a 

change in Verna. She found that Verna was not always 

clear of mind when speaking on the phone. I then 

contacted her GP and social services to arrange for 

Verna to be assessed in her home. Following this Verna 

was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. 

Adaptations were made to her house and daily meal 

deliveries arranged – all in an effort to assist with Verna’s 

desire to remain at home. 

As is the nature of the disease, Verna continued to 

decline. By May 2014, it was obvious that Verna was 

not coping at home. It was very upsetting to see. The 

following day, alarmed by a sudden drastic headache, 

Verna called for an ambulance. She was admitted to 

hospital. With the assistance of the hospital social 

services, and with my support, Verna was placed in 

Clifden House, Seaford – a leading dementia care centre. 

at Clifden House to having moments of wanting to go 

‘home’. One of my concerns was how Verna would 

adapt to living as part of a community at Clifden House. 

To my relief, within the first few months Verna’s overall 

health and brightness improved greatly – she was eating 

three home cooked, nutritious meals a day, taking her 

medications and being positively stimulated. 

She has been at Clifden House for five years now, 

and occasionally still says that she wants to go home. 

Reassuringly, in the next sentence she will say how happy 

she is at Clifden House. I know that it is the right place 

for her to be. Verna has benefited greatly by being at 

Clifden House. She used her skills as an art teacher to 

collaborate with a local school to produce a large textile 

peacock – it looked stunning. Recently, Verna delivered 

a talk to local pupils about her experience of WW2 - 

memories that she has no difficulties accessing. I believe 

that these activities and daily stimulation has helped 

slow the process of Alzheimer’s. Sadly, we have noticed a 

decline in Verna over the last few months – but this was 

always inevitable. 

Dementia is like losing the person dear to you, long 

before they die. You must find the humour in the 

situation. Arguing or trying to correct them only causes 

distress – just agree or change the topic. Enjoy each 

moment in that moment! 

This year Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, 

Seaford, celebrates 50 years of delivering exceptional 

care in Sussex. As a leader in specialist dementia care 

it aims to facilitate each person to continue to live a 

fulfilling and active life with privacy, dignity and security. 

www.clifdenhouse.co.uk T: 01323 896460. 

Following a few weeks at Clifden House, social services 

concluded that it was the best place for her to remain 

permanently. Initially, Verna would waver between 

being totally accepting of the fact that she now lived Photo: Verna and her niece Valerie. 



Bishopstone 

station given a 

floral makeover 

Royal Warrant holder Burleys has added 

another floral station to its portfolio – by 

brightening up Bishopstone Station near 

Seaford in East Sussex. 

It has donated three planted containers to the 

station partners, Friends of Bishopstone Station, who 

are working alongside the Sussex Community Rail 

Partnership supported by Burleys. Burleys’ community 

liaison officer for Lewes, Karen Rigby-Faux said: ‘Even as 

we were doing this, passengers who were alighting said 

how wonderful they looked. 

‘We are looking forward to going back in the autumn 

and supporting them with their more permanent 

planting designs. We love making a difference in our 

communities.’

As a member of the Partnership, which unites local 

authorities, railway companies and communities to 

improve the facilities and use of the rail network, 

grounds maintenance specialist Burleys has carried out a 

number of projects aimed at improving the aesthetics of 

neighbouring Newhaven Town station. 

Work began four years ago when Burleys brought in 

a digger to level the land and carried out a huge litter 

pick. It recently created butterfly banks of lavender and 

rosemary near the entrance to improve biodiversity and 

looks after the station’s colourful planters. Burleys has 

continued to litter pick the area three times a week free 

of charge for the last four years. 

The Partnership is part of Southern Railway’s work with 

local communities which sees artwork and planting with 

a local focus at stations across the network.

20 Years Experience 

Since 

reforming in 

2010, Seaford 

Bonfire 

Society has 

gone from 

strength to 

strength; each year we attract 

and welcome new members who want to be involved. 

Lots of great plans are afoot (some secret) for our 

Bonfire Celebrations on 19th October. The Society 

is made up of local people and has a thriving junior 

section, with many members willing to dedicate some 

of their free time to help organise what is the biggest 

night in Seaford’s calendar. 

New members are always welcome. We meet on the 

first Thursday of every month in the White Lion Hotel 

at 7.30pm. Our programme will be available (minimum 

donation £1) from many outlets in Seaford from early 

September. It will detail timings and the procession 

route, as well as provide an insight into the event. 

We are largely self-funded, relying on generous 

donations from local people and businesses. Proceeds 

from the event also allow us to support local charities. 

This year we have been busy raising funds at local fetes, 

as well as marshalling events such as Motorfest and the 

Triathlon. 

The Committee would like to thank everyone for their 

kind donations. We hope you have an enjoyable – and 

safe – evening.

seaford kurlers 

Welcome to all Seaford Scene readers! 

What a strange set of weather conditions we have 

been having this year. I guess that is what makes the 

British Isles so beautiful and varied. I must admit that 

the heat and humidity on 25th July gave me cause 

for concern, however this type of weather does not 

happen very often. 

Quite a lot of the year was full of all things lunar. It’s 

difficult to believe that the moon landings happened 

50 years ago. It brings back memories of when my 

children were really young, and how amazing it seemed 

to us all. Now of course today’s school children accept 

space travel as possible for anyone who has the money. 

I most certainly would have said yes to a space flight 

back then! The nearest that I got to space was learning 

to glide and getting my glider pilot’s licence. That was 

amazing. 

I do not do that activity now, but I do the sport of new 

age kurling. If you feel like giving this sport a try, then 

come down to the Downs Leisure Centre, Seaford. 

We will be in the sports hall. Come and try the sport 

and meet with the members. We are a friendly lot and 

would love to see you there. Your first visit is free. 

As a club we also arrange trips out. For this we use 

Lynne’s Travel. 

We are there every Tuesday from 2pm until 4pm. 

We have a refreshment break about half way. Our 

annual membership is £5 and weekly subs are 

£2.50. Contact myself, June Wood, Secretary, on 

01323 895376 or email sally1989@tiscali.co.uk.

St Andrew’s Church, Bishopstone 

SUMMER FETE 

Record numbers of people visited Bishopstone 

on Saturday 3rd August for the traditional fete in 

the Village Hall, St Andrew’s Church and on the 

Village Green. 

Happily, this year the weather was a little cooler than 

last year so a couple of dozen canines entered the Dog 

Show which was organised by Linda Walraven. Music 

was provided by the Pop-Up Singers around the opening 

at noon and then by the splendid fairground organ either 

side of two Punch & Judy shows presented by Professor 

Glyn Edwards. Seaford Silver Band later performed two 

mini concerts which were enthusiastically welcomed by 

an appreciative audience. 

Special thanks go to Seahaven Sea Cadets who gave up 

their time to run a series of amusing and popular games 

for both adults and children. Also to Peter Gwilliam of 

Specialist Training Consultants who provided First Aid 

cover and was kept busy from time to time treating bee 

stings and minor cuts and abrasions. 

The ice cream man Charlie Dowd was fully occupied 

throughout the afternoon, as were the hot bacon roll 

cooks and the cafe staff. For the first time that anyone 

can remember the home-made cake stall completely 

sold out and the National Coast Watch team handling 

the car parking reported their busiest time ever. 

The organisers thank everyone who provided stalls and 

helped to set up the event, but most of all we thank all 

those who came to 

enjoy a wonderful 

afternoon which 

resulted in our 

church benefitting 

by almost £3,000.

Plastic free 

seaford 

Well, summer is here and I hope 

you are all enjoying it! A brief 

update from us with news and 

campaign progress: 

Comeback cup 

Our trial at Steamworks Seaford has been a great 

success and will be continuing for the foreseeable 

future. The idea is a simple one; you can pay £3 for a 

cup and the price of your hot drink on top of it. After 

you have enjoyed your drink you can either bring the 

cup back and receive your £3 deposit back or you 

keep the cup for constant reuse – a bargain at £3. 

Plastic free status 

Once Surfers Against Sewage have gone through our 

paperwork we will have achieved it! It’s been a real 

labour of love and we are so excited to get Seaford 

National recognition for being Plastic Free – watch 

this space.

Plastic Free Action Week 

Thanks to all of the support from 

participating schools – Seaford Primary, 

Cradle Hill Community Primary, Seaford 

Head, Early Birds Preschool, Annecy 

Primary School – we have really got the 

message out there to all of the youngest 

residents of Seaford. 

The uptake of families 

joining the beach cleans is 

growing too because of all 

the hard work the schools 

have put in. 

Community meetings 

The first meeting in Autumn will be Tuesday 

17th September, 7pm at The Seven Sisters. 

Going forward, we are planning to work more closely 

with other Plastic Free campaigns in Sussex as it makes 

sense to share our ideas and support. We are holding 

a meeting for all Community Leaders in August to see 

where we are all up to! (Please note this is not a public 

meeting.) 

October event 

In October this year we will be hosting a celebration 

event at The White Lion Hotel – our 12th Champion 

meaning we could apply for plastic free status – details 

to follow! 

Don’t forget, we are a community-led campaign so 

if you have any thoughts, ideas or progress in ditching 

single-use plastic do share and let us know! 

Thank you for your ongoing support.

MARTELLO 

ROTARY 

Martello Rotary 

‘adopts’ Seaford Station 

Our photo shows Andy Gardner, Station Manager, 

Lewes and Seaford Railway Stations for Govia 

Thameslink Railway, who signed the Seaford 

Station Partnership Agreement with Rodney 

Reed, President of the Martello Rotary Seaford, 

Cllr Nazish Adil, Mayor of Seaford, and Catherine 

Simmons, West Coastway and Seaford to Brighton 

Line Officer, Sussex Community Rail Partnership. 

Station Partnerships are groups of volunteers 

who come together to ‘Adopt a Station’, in this 

instance Seaford Station. Working with Southern, 

Martello Rotary Partners for Seaford Station will 

help tailor the station to the area it serves. This 

Partnership will engage the community with the 

station and provide a set of ‘Seaford Through The 

Ages‘ murals and planting boxes and flower planting 

which will enhance the attractiveness of the station 

to rail travellers and provide a bright and interesting 

welcome to Seaford. Partnerships such as this help a 

station to appear more attractive and be a focal point 

for residents and visitors alike. Club President Rodney 

Reed commented: ‘We look forward to being able to 

further engage with local schools and the community 

for this ‘Adopt a Station’ Partnership. Martello 

intends to draw in schools and other organisations 

and volunteers to enhance the local identity and 

sustainability of the project for example with painting 

murals, planting, weeding, and watering. Working with 

local volunteers, adults and children, for the murals, 

the flower planting, the watering and the planter 

maintenance is an opportunity for the town to identify 

with the station and enable it to be a colourful and 

interesting entry into the town’. 

Community Calendar 2020 

The great result achieved last year with the sale of 

community calendars was celebrated with a cheque 

presentation to the RNLI and Seaford Lifeguards on 

the beach, together with supporters and members 

of Martello Rotary in attendance. The 2020 calendars 

are now available and come in 

two different sizes, costing £8 and 

£6. The stockists are: Badger Inks, 

Barwells solicitors, JXP Financial 

services (close to Ollivers 

Restaurant), Fixed in a Flash (near 

the station) and the RNLI shop in 

Newhaven. They are also available 

on ebay – search for ‘Seaford 

Community Calendar’. We are still 

looking for businesses who are 

prepared to sell the calendars for 

us and if you are interested please 

email nick88nick@gmail.com. The 

funds raised will be going to the 

RNLI and Seaford Lifeguards. 

Beach Access Scheme 

Sam Taylor was the Guest Speaker 

at a Martello Rotary meeting and 

some of his evident 

enthusiasm for the 

Seaford Beach Access 

Project rubbed off on 

to Martello Rotarians. 

In fact they were so 

impressed that they 

agreed to donate 

£1,000 to the project 

– enough for the 

target to be achieved and work orders issued 

for the final stage. This was for the heavy-duty flexible 

tiles to be purchased and laid out on to the shingle. 

Martello Rotarians were delighted to be present when 

Cllr Nazish Adil, our Mayor, cut the ribbon with Sam 

and officially opened the Beach Access. This enables 

wheelchair users, parents and children with their 

prams and buggies to go out on to the main section 

of Seaford Beach. Martello were convinced by Sam’s 

enthusiasm for his project and by his argument that 

people who use wheelchairs have as much right as 

anyone else to be out on the shingle and able to have 

the sea close to them. The steep slope and the loose 

shingle have so far defied attempts to devise a safe way 

to get wheelchairs from the end of the Beach 

Photos from top: S/F station partnership; 2020 calendar; 

Sam and friends at the beach access opening. 


Access not just down to the water’s edge but back 

up again safely to firm ground! Sam was supported 

in his initiative by Tony Jackson, Projects and Facilities 

Manager of our Seaford Town Council, and by many 

other interested individuals and local groups through 

their fundraising and encouragement. We all look 

forward to learning where Sam’s enthusiasm and 

persistence leads him to next! 

Plastic Free Seaford 

The Club had a 

visit from Claire 

Sumners who 

gave an excellent 

talk on Plastic 

Free Seaford and 

gave us some 

very worrying 

information: there 

are 5,000 pieces of plastic per mile on our beaches. 

In 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish. 

Single-use plastic bottles are the worst offenders as 

they take over 600 years to rot. Claire recommends 

that we focus on the big four: coffee cups, plastic bags,

Who’s Who 

In Seaford? 

Keith Ross, President 

of Seaford Rotary 

Where is your favourite place to go in and around Seaford? 

Alfriston – good riverside walks, the Tye, ancient pubs 

with good food and beer, and free street parking. 

Which living person do you most admire? My wife for living 

with me for over 40 years! 

What makes you sad? Unnecessary loss of life due to the 

mass shootings in the USA. 

How do you relax? Taking a stroll along Seaford 

promenade in the morning with a cup of coffee at the 

Sailing Club assuming the weather is not inclement. 

What is your greatest extravagance? Foreign holidays. 

What is your favourite smell? Lavender. 

What keeps you awake at night? Mollie if she barks, 

otherwise I generally sleep well. 

What is the best advice you have ever been given? If you 

don’t ask you won’t get! 

What would your motto be? Always look on the bright 

side. 

What is the most important lesson life has taught you? Never 

assume others will always agree with you. 

Which person in history would you most like to meet? George 

Stevenson, his son Robert or any of the other early 

railway civil engineers. 

What is the first line of your favourite poem? I don’t have 

a favourite poem. At school the class was required to 

learn six poems per year by rote – it put me off poetry. 

What is your favourite journey? New York to San Francisco 

by train. 

What or who is the greatest love in your life? My wife 

Marilyn. 

How would you spend a million pounds? Probably too 

quickly. 

Anything else? My initial journey to be President of 

Seaford Rotary was not planned. My wife Marilyn made 

the first overtures to the Club intending to join, and I 

went along with her to the meeting with two members 

of the membership committee to give her support. 

The magic words ‘You will be our first lady member’ 

caused her to rethink immediately, and two pairs of 

eyes turned and zeroed in on me. My wife joined 

Inner Wheel which remains, I understand, an all-female 

organisation. Seaford Rotary currently has one lady 

member, and any new lady members to join her 

would be most welcome. If you would like to join 

Seaford Rotary please contact us. Details are at 

www.seafordrotary.org.uk/contact. Seaford Rotary 

meets at Seaford Golf Club each Wednesday 

lunchtime. 

Keith has lived in Seaford 

since 1972 and was appointed 

President of Seaford Rotary 

in June this year. He was educated in Fareham, 

Hampshire and went to Loughborough University 

of Technology. Keith previously worked as a 

civil engineer in the rail industry in the design, 

construction and management of bridges. He 

is now retired but has a small engineering 

consultancy involving part-time work. Keith is a 

member of Seaford Bowling Club and is a Brighton 

& Hove Albion season ticket holder. He also enjoys 

travel, photography and antiques. He is married 

to Marilyn and has three daughters and two 

grandsons. Keith and Marilyn also have a 5½-yearold 

dog called Mollie who is a cross between a 

Labrador Retriever and a Border Collie known as 

a Borador. 

What do you like best about Seaford? Nearness to the open 

countryside of the Downs, the coastal views, but also 

easy access to larger places such as Eastbourne and 

Brighton. London is also easily accessible as is France 

from neighbouring Newhaven. 

What does your role involve? Representing Seaford Rotary 

at events including donation presentations, youth 

competitions to present prizes etc. As President of 

Seaford Rotary, I also chair the monthly Club Council 

and weekly Club meetings. 

What is your favourite piece of music? Classical: Blue 

Danube. Rock: anything by the Moody Blues. 

What is your favourite film? The Great Escape. 

What is your idea of perfect happiness? Sharing fruits de 

mer with Marilyn in a Parisian restaurant by the banks 

of the Seine, washed down with a French lager. 

What has been your most embarrassing moment? Taking the 

paper with my speech out of my suit pocket at the 

wedding of one of my daughters, only to discover that 

it was not my ‘father of the bride’ speech, and having to 

return to my bedroom at the venue to get the correct 

piece of paper.

seaford museum 

summer news 

We started the month with our very first 

Saturday morning opening, thus extending 

our hours to 11 – 4pm. 

This proved to be very successful. The following day, 

our Fundraising Day, 4th August, we welcomed the 

Pop Up Singers to get proceedings off to a grand start. 

People crowded round the upper level of the moat to 

watch the show, which was very well received. Many 

thanks to them. 

We had stalls in the moat to keep the children happy 

and the person who won the ‘name the teddy’ was 

delighted with it. Many children loved trying to catch 

the ducks too! It was a lovely day for all. We now have a 

range of items with our new logo – mugs, coasters and 

badges, which were very well received. 

As part of the National Heritage Scheme, Seaford 

Museum will be open free of charge on the weekend 

of 14th and 15th September. We will continue to open 

all day Saturdays throughout September in order to 

welcome visitors to Seaford’s unique museum with its 

surprisingly large and eclectic collection.

update from 

greenhavens 

The Greenhavens network was set up to support 

community group volunteers who are protecting your 

green spaces between Seaford and Telscombe. The 

network has been very busy over the last few months, 

with lots more organisations joining us. 

In June we held our very first AGM at YHA South 

Downs in the beautiful Southease countryside. Here we 

shared food cooked by SCDA who run free cooking 

courses in Newhaven. Then we had a tour of the new 

wild flower meadows that are supporting honey bee 

hives, and other pollinators. Our volunteers even starred 

in a video, taken by drone above the meadows! The 

biggest achievement was to launch a brand new website 

where you can find out more about the different 

projects in our area. This has contact details for all our 

projects and lots of stories about the positive projects 

in your area. The website has various themes. Under 

conservation you can read about our community 

orchards, skylarks, cuckoos and National Meadows Day. 

We also had lots of local stories about what projects are 

doing for bees – to celebrate ‘Bees Needs’ week. 

Under health and wellbeing, you can read about 

initiatives to keep fit and well including Seaford parkrun, 

health walks and local cycling initiatives. We also 

celebrated ‘Love Parks’ week so you can learn more 

about improvements to local parks and gardens. There 

are even some suggestions for walks in our beautiful 

countryside that you can access by train. Gardeners 

will enjoy reading about our open gardens and local 

allotments, and enjoy our gardening tips (including how 

to make fantastic compost). Under our food theme, 

you can read about the community gardens in our area, 

and get tips on foraging and cooking. Find out too, how 

groups in Greenhavens encourage ‘learning together’ 

with projects where children can enjoy engaging with 

nature. Above all, this is a community network and 

website, and we really want local groups to get involved, 

and have their say on our green future. Please do get in 

touch!

Newhaven, Peacehaven & Seaford Lions Club 

newhaven, peacehaven schools 

lead the way on ocean plastic 

NP&S Lions Club is playing a vital role in helping 

children to learn about marine pollution by presenting 

books to local primary schools and providing them 

with the resources to lead the way on ocean plastic. 

The books are written by author and illustrator 

team Ellie Jackson, originally from Uckfield, and Laura 

Callwood from Cornwall. 

The books are true stories about the problem of 

ocean plastic which are presented in a format that 

can be easily understood by primary school children. 

The stories follow three well-loved animals as they 

encounter plastic bags, balloons and fishing nets, and 

each book is written in a positive and hopeful light to 

inspire the next generation to tackle the issues. 

Author Ellie is on a mission to secure sponsorship to 

provide copies of her three highly acclaimed children’s

books, together with teaching resources, to every 

primary school in the UK. Lions Clubs around the 

country have been incredibly supportive of this project 

and NP&S Lions President Dave Hemming is leading 

the way in our area. 

‘Seeing how successful these books have been in 

inspiring communities across East Sussex and beyond 

to tackle ocean plastic, it was obvious to me that 

Newhaven, Peacehaven & Seaford, as coastal towns, 

need to be supporting our schools and helping to 

teach the next generation to care for our beautiful 

marine environment.’ 

Lions President Dave Hemming is endorsing calls for 

the wider Newhaven and Peacehaven businesses and 

individuals to support the children’s efforts by making 

small changes that will collectively make a big difference 

to our environment. Refuse single-use plastic, such as 

straws, takeaway containers, disposable coffee mugs, 

plastic bags etc. and know that every single time you 

choose reusable over disposable you are helping to 

preserve our fragile environment and wildlife. 

Seaford’s New Skatepark 

Hopefully by the time you read this, Seaford’s 

brand new skatepark will be well and truly opened 

with our local youngsters making full use of all the 

facilities. NP&S Lions were very pleased to be able to 

contribute to the cost of this project and hope it will 

add to the outdoor activities already in place down on 

the seafront. 

And finally, please don’t forget our next book sale at 

Paradise Park on Sunday 15th September. 

Membership 

If you would like more information about NP&S Lions 

Club, please check out our website or come along to 

one of our meetings. We meet at 8pm every fourth 

Thursday of the month at the White Lion, and you 

can be assured of a warm welcome. 


the probus 

club of seaford 

For our July 2019 meeting our speaker was one of our 

own members, Martin Cooper-Mitchell. Martin gave 

us extracts from his career in the Merchant Navy, and 

in particular an 18-month period when he was Radio 

Officer on a fuel tanker, ferrying crude oil from the Baltic 

to Cuba.

By and large this was a very routine, if not somewhat 

boring activity. At this time, early 1960s, there was no 

satellite control, no mobile phones, and whilst spending 

so much time on the high seas it was possible to be 

totally unaware of national and international affairs. 

One such incident was what later became The Cuban 

Missile Crisis. The pilot of an American U 2 spy plane 

had photographed what were obviously Soviet Russian 

missiles in Cuba. President Castro’s explanation was 

that he looking after them for ‘my friend President 

Khrushchev’. Bearing in mind the proximity of Cuba to 

the American coast, American President John F Kennedy 

considered this an aggressive act, and nuclear equipped 

ships and submarines were scrambled. But Martin and 

his crew were blissfully unaware that they may have 

been sailing very close to these ships. Hence Martin’s 

title for his talk: ‘An Accidental Adventure’. 

Future activities planned for the club include a BBQ in a 

member’s garden, and skittles at the Bowling Club. 

Our club meets on the Second Tuesday of each 

month, at 12 noon for 12.45, at Seaford Gold Club, 

111 Firle Road BN25 2JD. New members are always 

welcome. Please ring our Membership Secretary on
