Christmas Magic 

Extravaganza! 

This year’s extravaganza is being held on Saturday 7th 

December from 10am – 5-30pm in Seaford town centre. 

It will combine the evocative sounds and smells of 

Christmas, with entertainment and attractions for 

all residents of Seaford and beyond to enjoy. 

Live music will be ringing out from the main stage 

at the top of Broad Street throughout the day. 

Entertainers such as Seaford Community Drum Circle, 

Rebecca Clay with Colin Hughes, Seaford Choral 

Society, Pop Up Singers, Megan Rose Mulpeter, Jamie 

Morgan with Virginia Thorn Music, SPRuNG, Consensus 

Chorale, Up The Tempo Dance School, Vocal 

Repertoire, Mike Lynch, Julie Terry with Boogie Sound 

Machine, Archway Choirs and more, will be keeping 

the joyful Christmas spirt upbeat with a whole range 

of singing styles. Shannon Smith will host an exciting 

and eclectic mix of vocalists, musicians and other 

contemporary performances on the performance 

stage, just off Broad Street. Christmas Magic unplugged 

is being hosted within St Leonard’s Church with an 

assortment of seasonal readings every hour combined 

with acoustic music and song. The dramatic Stix 

Drummers will be very hard to miss as they perform 

around the town centre. 

Why not enjoy some street food and mulled wine 

from stalls and business premises alike, to warm you up 

whilst enjoying the fantastic live entertainment? Make 

sure you don’t miss the opportunity to grab some 

Christmas presents from the market stalls with festive 

goodies! Be proud to support your local community 

and peruse the goods in the local shops too! 

For families with young children, Santa’s Grotto will 

be found at Seaford Barn Theatre. Follow the trail 

through the craft market stalls as the helpful elves 

from Seaford Youth Forum direct visitors to a magical 

Christmas grotto experience. Visiting the ‘Elf on the 

Shelf’ in his Christmas snow globe on your way, climb 

into his snowy Christmas globe scene and have your 

photo taken with him, at the bottom of Broad Street/ 

High Street. 

Colour your Christmas with lantern making workshops 

at St Leonard Church Hall with SCIP (Seaford 

Contemporary, Illustrators & Printers). Coloured tissue 

papers, and custom designed and cut stamps will be 

available in abundant supply, from 10am – 3.30pm. Even 

if it is not possible to join the lantern parade at the end 

of the day, do pop along and make a lantern for free. 

The Lantern Parade is a highlight of the day, for both 

the children taking part and the onlookers. It begins 

the build-up to the switching on of Seaford’s Christmas 

lights by Father Christmas. The Christmas Lights will be 

switched on at 5.10pm. 

To top off an exciting day, sit back and relax at the Barn 

Theatre, where Seaford Community Cinema will be 

showing Mary Poppins Returns, a U-rated film for all 

the family to enjoy (booking advised). Tickets available 

online www.seafordcinema.org and in the Tourist 

Information Centre at 37 Church Street, Seaford 

www.staylewes.info. 

More information about the day can be found at www. 

seafordxmasmagic.uk or Facebook www.facebook.com/ 

seafordchristmasmagic/. Also, on the day, Seahaven FM 

will be open to all. Do pop along and find out more 

about your local radio station or try your hand at being 

a radio presenter! 

Please note that there will be FREE parking in West 

Street, Richmond Road, East Street and Saxon Lane 

Carparks on 7th December. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our 

generous sponsor Bellway Homes Limited, our fabulous 

partners Seaford Musical Theatre, SCIP, Seaford Bonfire 

Society, Seaford Rotary and Seaford Youth Forum for 

all their help and support with building and hosting the 

event, and of course, our volunteers, without whom 

the event would not be able to take place.

Cinema 

Wild reindeer wouldn’t hold back those of us whose 

evenings are made by an episode of Fleabag (15) so 

we’ll want to be at the Barn Theatre on Thursday 5th 

December, 7pm when Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be 

doing her stuff as screened from the Soho Theatre. 

Directed by Vicky Jones, Waller-Bridge takes a riproaring 

look at some sort of woman living her sort 

of self-obsessed life. After all that raunchiness Seaford 

Community Cinema gets into festive and family-oriented 

spirit with Mary Poppins Returns (U), at 6pm for all 

those out on Christmas Magic evening, 7th December. 

This Oscar and Golden Globe-nominated film stars 

Emily Blunt in the Julie Andrews role, Lin-Manuel 

Miranda and Ben Whishaw. The cinema season closes on 

Friday 13th December with Wild Rose (PG), starring 

Jessie Buckley, Matt Costello, Jane Patterson, Julie Walters 

and Sophie Okonedo, about an ex-con musician from 

Glasgow who dreams of becoming a Nashville star. 

Tickets from Seaford Tourist Information Centre, Church 

Street, or at www.seafordcinema.org or on the door. 

Story-telling & readings 

St Leonards Church is open from 10am until 5pm on 

Christmas Magic Day, with craft for children and free 

refreshments along with an eclectic mix of seasonal 

readings every hour interspersed with music and song 

from Virginia Thorn and Jamie Morgan, the Downs 

60+ Choir and Phil Lane. Seaford Library is putting on 

15-minute family story-telling sessions during Christmas 

Magic at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm. 

Are you putting on an arts event in the town? For 

a possible mention in this diary contact Andrea at

MARTELLO 

ROTARY 

Seaford Bonfire Society 

As usual Seaford Bonfire Society gave us a 

fantastic display from the procession, through to 

the fireworks and (very large) bonfire. In the past the 

Bonfire Society has helped at Rotary organised events 

such as the Half Marathon and in turn Martello Rotary 

volunteers carried collection buckets for the society 

on the night. It was much more fun to be involved 

with the event than just standing on the side-lines and 

watching! Remember next year when you see the 

collection buckets come around, please be as generous 

as possible as this will enable our Bonfire Society to 

keep providing such fantastic events. 

Rotary Scholar 

As part of Rotary 

philosophy to ‘connect the 

world’, Martello Rotary are 

mentoring Shih (Stacey)Tang, 

our Rotary Global Scholar. 

To provide background to 

the club, Stacey presented 

to us, explaining her journey, her work ethics and 

her passion in being part of supporting Taiwan’s 

independence. On returning to Taiwan she hopes to 

continue her work with the local Taiwanese indigenous 

communities as a Social Worker. Whilst studying in the 

UK Stacey will be visiting a number of Rotary clubs and 

events hosted by our members. For more information 

on Rotary Sponsored Scholarships go to 

www.rotary.org/en/our-programs/scholarships 

Seaford Proms Night 

Another excellent Proms night was held at Seaford 

Head School, with music to suit all tastes. There were 

performances from the Seaford Silver Band, Seaford 

Musical Theatre, and Seaford Sunshine Strummers, with 

stirring pipe music from Vanessa Bristow-Rose, and the 

essential soloist, Kate Valentine – all of whom get our 

heartfelt thanks for putting on such a wonderful show.

Photographic 

Society 

The club’s Annual Exhibition will be getting underway 

just as this issue of Seaford Scene is published so you 

might just be in time to catch it. It is on for just 2 days 

this year, Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st 

December at Seaford 

Constitutional Club, 

Crouch Lane. This is 

a great opportunity 

to see around 100 

prints from some of 

the best local amateur 

photographers. 

The Ross Cup was held in November near Maidstone. 

This was the first regional competition of the season, 

open to all the 50 or so clubs affiliated to the KCPA. You 

can see the results, and how Seaford did, on our website 

www.seafordps.org. 

October started with a fun informal 

competition where members organised 

themselves into teams of five, each 

person submitting two images. These 

were commented on and scored by 

our own Jack Taylor EFIAP DPAGB. 

Next up was the second round of 

the Print League, judged by Andy 

Smith LRPS CPAGB. Congratulations 

to Simon Rigby who scored 20/20 for both his entries, 

featuring a Marsh Tit and a Black Headed Gull. In the 

Advanced group Colin Mitchell 

and Steve Hewitt both scored 20s, 

again with wildlife photos. Nature 

and wildlife images are proving 

very popular at the moment, 

particularly with some of the 

newer members. The Nature Print 

competition this month should be 

interesting! 

There were 24 entries in the Small Print competition, for 

prints with a maximum size of 7” by 5”, with the winner 

being chosen by members. The clear winner this year 

was Colin Mitchell’s 

cute photo of 3 

field mice. This 

close-up of such 

small creatures was 

well suited to the 

small print format. 

The final meeting of the month featured two print 

competitions, for the first trophies of the year, with the 

set subjects ‘Architecture’ and ‘Black and White’. They 

were judged by June Sharpe ARPS, who had travelled 

all the way down from Canterbury for the evening. 

June is one of the best 

judges on the circuit 

and she provided lots of 

constructive comments 

on each photo, with 

particular emphasis on 

artistic merit. She also 

mentioned the names of 

several of her favourite 

photographers, for those 

of us who wanted to do 

some further 

research. Chris Dawson took the 

Architecture prize with ‘Corfu Town World 

Heritage Site’. Jennie Edwards was in second 

place with ‘Beneath the Cantilever Staircase’ 

and Adrian Bishop took the third prize. 

There were 21 entries in the popular Black 

and White competition and the winning print 

was another nature image. ‘By the Light of 

the Silvery Moon’ by Colin Mitchell featured 

a European Scops Owl. Steve Wares took second place 

with an atmospheric shot of a steam train and driver, and 

third place went to George Chadwick. 

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. If you are 

thinking of joining, just come along one evening to see 

what you think. www.seafordps.org.

a leading company

Issues with double

gradual and may only 

be noticed during a clear 

sunny day or during the 

winter. A failed glass unit

you with the protection 

you need or be energy 

efficient. Why not spend 

a few minutes checking 

your home to see if you 

have any failed double 

glazing? If you act now 

you can avoid these 

problems. 

Now, you may think 

you need to replace the 

whole window including 

the frames and all the 

hardware, however 

Cloudy2Clear have come 

up with a simple and cost 

saving solution… Just 

replace the glass!! 

If you see condensation 

in your windows just

Seaford Musical Theatre 

Dick Whittington 

Seaford beware! – the rats are coming 

to the Barn Theatre in January 2020 

A traditional family pantomime suitable for audiences 

of all ages. 

Come and join Dick and Tom, his very ‘cool’ cat, on 

their madcap adventures, as he seeks his fame and 

fortune in a London bedevilled by the sinister Queen 

Rat and her rabble of Revolting Rodents. This riproaring 

adventure sees the cast transported from the 

streets of London across the seas to Morocco, with 

plenty of fun along the way. 

COUNTRY MUSIC 

COMES TO SEAFORD! 

One of the UK’s top country bands is to play Seaford 

Little Theatre next month on Saturday 11th and 

Sunday 12th January. The Diablos who hail from 

Brighton are promoting their new album ‘Leaving 

Santa Rosa’ with a series of gigs in 2020 but have their 

cowboy boots planted on the pebbles of Seaford for 

the very first of those! 

Filled with hilarious gags, well-known songs and dances 

and loads of audience participation, this show is the 

‘purrfect’ after-Christmas treat! 

Please see the advert for full details of how to book 

your seats for this show, which will delight both 

adults and children alike. 

Country music can be a broad church these days, so 

what brand of country are The Diablos? The band 

often likes to quote a music journalist who once 

described them as ‘the Eagles having a few beers 

with the Mavericks whilst listening to Johnny Cash 

on the jukebox’, and that musical combination has 

served them well so far. They have won a number of 

UK country music awards and have already notched 

up six Number 1s on the British and Irish Country 

charts. Last year, their self-penned song East Coast Run 

appeared on the soundtrack of the BAFTA Award 

winning film Beast. The band even had a cameo role in 

the movie playing the song in a bar scene! 

So why Seaford Little Theatre for the first album launch 

gigs? Lead vocalist Chris Nieto explains: ‘I actually 

moved to Seaford recently and one of the first things I 

did was go to the Little Theatre to see an all American 

female blue grass band. They were amazing and the 

venue was lovely so I thought it was a good choice… 

and besides, it’s a short walk home for me which 

makes a nice change!’ 

Tickets are £8 each and available from Seaford Little 

Theatre on 07984 280067. Alternatively email the 

band for tickets and info: info@thediablos.com.

Come and enjoy the spirit of 

Christmas with the Corelli 

Ensemble, in a programme 

that really has something for 

everyone. The concert opens 

with Albinoni’s famous Oboe 

Concerto in D minor, with 

its hauntingly beautiful slow 

movement, performed by world 

class oboist, Owen Dennis (photo below), followed by 

‘Winter’ from the Four Seasons by Vivaldi, performed 

by Maeve Jenkinson (photo left). Then it’s off to Russia 

for Tchaikovsky’s sparkling Serenade for Strings, infused 

with music straight from the world of ballet, and home 

again to the cosy Sussex Downs with Howard Blake’s 

magical ‘Snowman Suite’.

Sussex Arts Collective 

MERRILY! 

2019 CHRISTMAS EXHIBTION 

The Cuckmere & Flint Rooms, Crypt Gallery, 23 Church 

Street. Saturday 30th November to Sunday 22nd 

December 2019. Open 10am – 4pm Mon –Sat, 

12 noon – 3pm Sunday. 

In an age of mass 

produced imported goods 

it’s good to know that 

you still have the choice 

to buy handcrafted and 

individually designed 

gifts and treats for 

the festive season, 

made and sold within a few miles from where 

you live. Such makers and creators will be 

gathered together by the Sussex Arts Collective 

throughout December in Seaford’s unique and 

atmospheric Crypt Gallery. 

‘Merrily!’ will be the Sussex Arts Collective’s 

fourteenth Christmas show and promises to be a 

veritable bonanza of superb art and craft from over 

forty, yes over forty, outstanding virtuosos working in a 

diverse and eclectic mix of media and materials. 

The exhibition will be open 

daily from 30th November 

to 22nd December, 10am to 

4pm and Sundays midday to 

3pm. ‘Merrily!’ will be open 

during Seaford’s spectacular 

festive shopping event, 

Seaford Christmas Magic, 

on Saturday 7th December. 

Since March the group has been 

holding smaller month-long 

exhibitions, entitled Collections, 

in the Cuckmere Room. This 

run has now come to an end 

and was an unequivocal success. 

‘Merrily!’ will expand on the 

small exhibitions, making use 

of both the Cuckmere 

and Flint Rooms as well 

as the undercroft where 

they will be showing a 

myriad of ceramic and 

sculptural works for the 

home and garden. 

Each Collections exhibition lasted 

one month and made it possible for the Crypt Gallery 

Trustees to maintain an ‘open door’ policy to the 

building for just about all of the year. This subsequently 

has provided many more opportunities for new and 

past visitors from far and wide to see the enigmatic 

undercroft and enjoy an ever increasing programme of 

exciting events in both gallery rooms. 

This is what visitors have been 

saying: ‘Never been here before; 

really, really interesting and amazing 

work’ – Bennett of Haywards 

Heath. ‘What a gorgeous, glorious 

mix of work! All stunning – 

awesome building too’ – Latham 

of Hove. ‘A good place to come 

to be cheered up on a miserable day!’ – 

Peak of Seaford. ‘Great exhibition in a wonderful venue’ – 

The Sykes sisters, Bristol, Wimborne and Utrecht. 

The Sussex Arts Collective would 

like to take this opportunity to 

thank the many, many visitors and 

customers who have passed 

through the galleries this 

year and wish you all a very 

peaceful Christmas. See you at 

‘Merrily!’ and look forward to 

obliging you with all your art 

and craftwork from our brilliant local artists in the 

New Year during the Collections 2020 series. 

Happy Christmas!

Seaford Mayor’s 

Update 

The Mayor of Seaford, 

Cllr Nazish Adil has 

been busy fundraising 

for her two chosen 

charities, The Youth 

Counselling Project, and the Down 

Syndrome Development Trust. 

The Mayor hosted a Charity Quiz Night, at The View at 

Seaford Head on Friday 1st November, raising £530 on 

the night from entry fees and raffle tickets! She would 

like to thank everyone who attended, all the businesses 

who kindly donated raffle prizes and the Seaford Hard 

of Hearing Club who donated £50 to the Mayor for her 

charities for giving a talk to members. 

The Mayor is also hosting a Carol Service on Tuesday 

10th December at St Leonard’s Church at 7pm. 

The Archway Choir and local school choirs will be 

performing on the evening and a retiring collection will 

also go towards the Mayor’s charities. 

The Mayor invited the local primary schools to 

participate in designing the Mayor’s Christmas Card 

for 2019, with the theme ‘Seaford at Christmas’. The 

card will be sent to local dignitaries and contacts in 

the community and beyond. Nearly 200 entries were 

received and as you can image it was a very hard task 

to choose a winner! The winner was Florence Vaks 

from Seaford Primary School. It was a fabulous drawing, 

showing Santa and his reindeer enjoying the new 

Seaford Skatepark. Runners up were Amelie Golsdon, 

Seaford Primary, and Ethan Howson from Annecy 

School. The winners will receive art materials. All the 

entries will be on display at the Mayor’s Carol Service. 

The Mayor’s response to receiving the entries was, 

‘I feel each and every child has a unique and special 

mind when it comes to arts and creativity. I congratulate 

every single participant for exhibiting their talent and 

spreading happy emotions and spirits of Christmas in 

Seaford highlighting beautiful scenes, famous attractions, 

leisure sites, local shops and Churches. I admire their 

sense of colour choices, contrasts and sharpness in line 

and lengths. Thank you to the management of Seaford 

Primary School, Annecy Catholic Primary School and 

Cradle Hill Primary School for their support and to all 

parents who encouraged and helped their children to 

send their entries. A huge thanks to the children. For me, 

everyone is the winner.’ 

These events are all following the Mayor’s Open Garden 

Trail thanks to Geoff Stonebanks, and two Summer 

Receptions. To date, £2,800 has been raised for the 

Mayor’s Charities. Fundraising will continue until the end 

of the municipal year when the final total will be divided 

and presented to both charities at the Town Forum on 

Tuesday 4th May. 

Following a successful Pub Quiz that the Wellington 

Pub held for the Mayor’s Charities in October which 

raised £105, the Seven Sisters pub is hosting a quiz 

night on 14th December at 7pm. Talking about the Quiz 

Night the Mayor said, ‘It was an amazing evening. I feel 

so humbled by the love and support of the people. 

The event was well attended and successful. I’d had the 

opportunity to meet and socialise with new people with 

intelligent minds and masters in general knowledge. The 

evening was fun throughout. My big thanks go to all the 

well wishers and supporters who came along and made 

it such a lit up event. We raised a significant total of £530 

for my chosen charities for the year.’ Please book your 

teams for the quiz night on 14th December and have 

quiz fun together. For all Mayoral updates please see the 

Mayor’s Facebook page @mayorofseaford 

Seaford Town Council in Partnership with local 

organisations and businesses has been very busy 

organising Seaford Christmas Magic on Saturday 7th 

December. The evening before, Friday 6th December, the 

Mayor’s Chaplain Rev Arwen Folks of St Peter’s Church 

will be Blessing the Christmas Tree – Tree of Lights at 

the War Memorial. The Mayor and Young Mayors will 

then be joined by the President of the Chamber of 

Commerce, Claire Davis to judge the Best Dressed 

Shop Window Display. There are no formal entry 

requirements; any business window in the town centre 

that has been decorated will be judged. The winner 

will be announced after the Lantern Parade, before the 

lights are officially switched on Saturday 7th. Look out 

for more information and updates on Facebook/Seaford 

Christmas Magic. 


seaford U3A News 

My goodness me! Where has this year gone? The days 

are short and we are heading downhill to the winter 

solstice on 22nd December. After that we will have 

more light in the afternoons but will have to wait until 

the middle of January for lighter mornings. Just be 

thankful we don’t live in the Arctic Circle! 

However there is plenty to be cheerful about at U3A. 

The range of group learning extends month by month. 

So far it covers art, craft, current affairs, drama, film, 

history, languages, literature and music, with games of 

canasta, bridge, mah jong and more planned. Those 

wanting to get or stay fit can try table tennis or walking. 

It is hoped to start courses of online learning on climate 

change, science and technology in the new year, as well 

as new conventional courses on Scrabble, Spanish for 

beginners and members’ interests. The ukulele group 

is hugely popular and if there are any ukulele experts 

out there who would like to share their expertise they 

would be very welcome. A new supper club is also 

starting. 

The coffee morning which is on Wednesday 18th 

December is open to members and non-members. 

It will be at the Constitutional Club between 10am. 

and 12 noon, and the cost is £2 for coffee and light 

refreshments. There will be ‘meeters and greeters’ to talk 

to any new and prospective members so if any readers 

are not members yet this is your chance to find out 

more about U3A and talk to the members. No need to 

book. 

The AGM in October saw a new committee take office 

with a new Chairman. Everyone has different ideas 

about new developments and it is interesting to have a 

change of office holders. The photo shows the AGM in 

action. After the formal business there was a humorous 

talk on an actor’s perspective on the West End theatres. 

Tea parties for members started in October with a 

presentation of old photos of Seaford, which saw the 

room packed out with members; in November we 

heard about ‘Henry II and the Kingdom of the Devil’ and 

in December there is the fascinating subject of ‘What 

your DNA tells about you’. In the U3A variety is the 

spice of life! 

The members’ trips out have also got started again. In 

October members visited the charity Emmaus at the 

local branch in Portslade. This charity was started in 

1947 in France by a French priest who was shocked by 

the conditions in Paris after the war. It provides support 

and housing for many who would otherwise be living on 

the streets. The trip in December is to the Royal Courts 

of Justice in London. 

For more information about Seaford U3A and also

(SUN) and SE U3A Region see the website www. 

u3asites.org.uk/seaford. To find out about membership 

check this website or ring 01323 899572 or come 

along to a coffee morning and have a chat.

Are you struggling to 

lock your UPVC door? 

Try this simple 3 point test to see if your 

door needs adjusting before it breaks... 

With one hand... 

1. Push the door closed 

2. Lift the handle and let go 

3. Turn the key 

If you can’t do the above easily and have to hold the handle or force the handle to turn the 

key, then you need to get your door adjusted before it breaks. The weight of the door on a 

badly adjusted locking mechanism will eventually break, usually in the locked position!

The Christmas 

Cracker 

Conundrum 

The environment is a hot topic right now and 

let’s face it Christmas crackers have never 

been eco-friendly. 

Refuse increases by 30% over the festive season. Can 

you even remember the plastic tat that fell out of last 

year’s crackers? Thought not. But if you feel like your 

Christmas table is not complete without a cracker and 

a snap there are alternatives to the supermarket classic, 

Try ‘12 days of Christmas crackers’ which include an 

eco-friendlier wooden toy. 

Recyclable Christmas crackers come with a snap, hat, a 

joke – but no gift. Re-usable crackers are also available 

and can be filled with a gift of choice. Some have 

refillable ’snaps’ which mean they can be used again 

and again. 

You can also make DIY Christmas crackers by saving 

cardboard toilet roll and rolling them in a pretty 

fabric or brown paper or newspaper. Fill them with a 

handwritten joke and gift and tie with string at each 

end. These look festive but are untied – rather than 

pulled apart. You can always shout BANG! as you pass 

them out! 

Cracker jokes for DIY crackers: 

What does Santa do with unfit elves? 

He sends them to an Elf Farm! 

What did Santa do when he went speed dating? 

He pulled a cracker! 

What’s a dog’s favourite carol? 

Bark, the herald angels sing!

Wine Wisdom 

Which wine should you choose? 

I was always a bit 

hazy about which 

wine to serve with 

which food. They 

didn’t teach that 

sort of thing at our 

local comprehensive. 

Then one day a chef 

friend explained that 

far from being an elitist concept it was simply about 

marrying flavours that blend well or complement each 

other, much like cooking. I managed to get her to distil 

her wisdom into this handy guide. 

Fish – A delicate fish dish calls for a delicate wine, such 

as Pinot Grigio. If the fish is more robust and served 

with a rich sauce, it will require a more full-bodied 

flavoursome white like Chardonnay. Salty seafood 

marries surprisingly well with champagne. 

Chicken or Turkey – Choose a full-flavoured white, 

like a white Côtes du Rhône, or a delicate red, such as a 

Frappato. 

Juicy red meat – For beef or steak a rich red, such as a 

Bordeaux or Cabernet Sauvignon will work well or even 

a Rioja. 

Spicy dishes – These require a spicy wine. Look for a 

Malbec, Syrah or Shiraz, which will all hold their own. If 

the spicy food is vegetarian, then a dry Riesling will pair 

well. 

Vegetarian food – There is a misconception that 

vegetarian food should only be served with white wine. 

But medium reds, like Merlot work well with lots of 

vegetarian dishes, particularly tomato-based recipes. 

Cheese board – Some cheeses go better with red, 

some with white. Sauternes and Stilton are a perfect 

match, while Chardonnay works well with brie. A dry 

Rosé is a good all-rounder. 

Remember, the main rule is to pair the characteristics 

of the dish with the characteristics of the wine. So, a 

buttery sauce will work well with white a wine also 

described as ‘buttery’. Experiment and enjoy!

fifty years of the 

seaford head local 

nature reserve 

1969 – 2019 

Have you ever wondered how Seaford Head 

became a Local Nature Reserve? What is the 

importance of it as a Nature Reserve? What 

qualifies it as such? Who owns and manages the 

Seaford Scene 

land? If you have, then this is the book for you! 

fran@seafordscene.co.uk 

Seaford Head is a familiar, 

much loved and much 

used part of our town and 

our coastline, and 2019 is 

the fiftieth anniversary of 

the creation of the Local 

Nature Reserve there. 

Such an important event 

could not go unmarked, 

so the Management 

Committee commissioned 

Alison Baker to produce a history. 

December issue please 

the Nature Reserve 

After three years of painstaking research from a 

wide variety of sources, the results have now been 

published and will be available for the first time at the 

Head. 

Seaford Christmas Magic event on 7th December at 

an introductory price of £12 per 301 words copy. All profits from 

the sale of this book will be used for projects and work 

within the nature reserve. 

The accessible information contained within the covers 

is broken down into individual themes, each complete 

in its own right, but together making up the bigger 

story. Topics such as how the land came to be a nature 

reserve, how the land has been managed for the 

mutual benefit of the wildlife and the public, the species 

surveys to find out what the area is hosting, as well as 

the more quirky things which have happened in the last 

fifty years are all documented in flowing prose. 

Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs and 

diagrams throughout, including a montage of pictures 

of the anniversary event held at South Hill Barn in July, 

(featured in the November issue of Seaford Scene), this 

would make a fantastic gift for all those interested in 

local history and Seaford Head.

St Peter’s Church Events 

All aboard 

for carols 

December is a very busy and a jolly time all over 

Seaford, with traditional carol concerts a particular 

attraction at various venues. 

But there is one planned this year for St Peter’s Church 

which should have a special appeal because it involves 

the Newhaven RNLI community of crew, supporters 

and families. 

It is a traditional carol service, lasting for an hour, which 

will be on Sunday 15th December at St Peter’s in 

Belgrave Road, Seaford, starting at 3pm. 

And at 6pm the same day the church will hold a 

traditional service of readings and carols for Christmas. 

It is a community service for the whole parish and 

beyond to which everyone is most welcome to come 

along and sing. 

Characters galore 

A timely talk about ‘Christmas Characters’ old and new 

will be given by Kay Blackburn at St Peter’s Church, 

Belgrave Road, Seaford, on Tuesday 3rd December at 

2.30pm. 

She will deal with familiar Christmas people through 

the centuries – some good, some not so good, some 

fictional, some real, at an event that is open to all, and 

is at St Peter’s Church Chapel Rooms. Tickets are £7, 

and that includes refreshments. It will be in aid of the 

charity Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice. 

A messy invitation! 

A ‘Messy Church’ is to be introduced at St Peter’s 

in Belgrave Road, Seaford, on Sunday afternoon, 8th 



December. It promises to be an informal and relaxed 

social time, helping children to connect with the real 

meaning of the season of Advent and Christmas, and 

also giving the adults a chance to relax away from all 

the inevitable expense and hassle of this time. 

This special event is free and everyone is very 

welcome to come along and take part. The promise is 

that it will be fun. 

It begins with Advent and Christmas-themed crafts in 

the Chapel Rooms, then children and adults can go into 

the church next door. 

There they can sing and pray together, and hear the 

Christmas story. It ends by everyone going back to the 

Chapel Rooms to enjoy a hot meal of bangers and 

mash, plus tea, coffee and squash for all. 

Parents must stay with children. 

All this family fun is at St Peter’s from 2pm to 5pm, and 

everyone is welcome.

Seaford Striders 

HOVE PROM 10K 

Sunday 20th October was a much-needed dry day, 

which provided a welcome if brief respite amongst 

seemingly endless wet ones. In celebration, 13 

‘lucky’ Seaford Striders turned out to run the Hove 

Prom10k, organised by Arena 80, at Hove Lagoon. 

This race is the penultimate Sussex Grand Prix event, 

always guaranteed to make it popular for those runners 

anxious to maximize their points for the year. 

As always on a flat course there is a temptation to go 

in search of the Personal Bests (PBs) but some of those 

who went out quickly and attempted to maintain that 

pace struggled to do so, although a number of Striders 

were successful in their efforts to achieve their fastest 

time over the 10K distance. 

The fast and flat course saw Matt Bradford from Lewes 

AC win in a time of 32:38, with home runner Caroline 

Hoyte (Arena 80) setting a female course record in an 

impressive time of 36:15. 

For the Seaford Striders, first man home was Ray Smith 

in a speedy 43:28. Other club headline grabbers were 

Adam Haverly in 45:22 and first female Striders Amanda 

Feast in a superb PB time of 46:01, swiftly followed by 

Anneka Redley in 46:24. There was depth in the midfield 

with Louisa Scola settling for a very respectable 

47:47. Close on her heels was the ever-reliable Graham 

Jones, 48:27 and Chris Wilmot, 48:38. 

Also putting in very solid performances were Michael 

Pickering, 58:23; Chloe Wilmot, 58:43; Lauren Morgan, 

59:20 (PB), Victoria Maleski, 01:07:44; Amanda Mcgowan, 

01:09:00, and finishing with her usual sprint finish, Becky 

Souissi, 01:14:30.

Beachy Head 

Marathon and 10K 

Over 3,000 runners and walkers took to the South 

Downs on Saturday 26th October to participate in 

what is one of the biggest off-road marathons and 10K 

runs in the country. The courses provide challenging yet 

scenic routes, which were shown off at their best in the 

46 Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers 

sunny conditions which prevailed 

until well into the afternoon. 

This challenging marathon course 

is not for the faint hearted, or 

for those in search of marathon 

PBs. For many participants this 

is not so much a race but more 

an experience; with 4,900 feet 

to ascend along the way and commencing, as it does, 

with a ridiculous hill right at the start by Bede’s School, 

where crampons would appear more appropriate than 

trainers. The route then follows a continuous 20-minute 

climb before heading inland and after negotiating a 

treacherous flint and chalk descent, drops into Jevington 

where a welcome drinks/food station awaits. 

After climbing out of Jevington it’s into the lovely Friston 

Forest, past the Long Man of Wilmington and on to 

Alfriston village. Then comes a long drag up to Bo Peep, 

which can really sap the energy, but at least if they 

had time to pause they could enjoy the spectacular 

views along this exposed section. Here the route turns 

reassuringly towards the sea and perhaps for the firsttime 

thoughts of the finish but it’s only half way and 

there follows a deceptively long stretch to High & Over, 

where there is extra cheer for home runners in the 

form of a water station manned by the Seaford Striders. 

Then it’s on to the exhilarating plunge into Littlington 

and another lifesaving drinks/food station, before 

returning to Friston Forest and two sets of wickedly 

steep wooden steps – sufficient to set quadriceps 

screaming in protest. Suddenly Cuckmere Haven 

appears in all its glory but caution must be exercised on 

a steep descent before crossing the A259 once again. 

The Seven Sisters are reached after 20 miles. It’s said 

that you can train for 20, but the last 6.2 are in your 

head. There is no marathon in the country with a 

tougher final 6.2 miles. Seven Sisters? The consensus is at 

least nine. You run out of superlatives describing this final 

stretch of coastline exemplified by the iconic Belle Tout 

lighthouse and Beachy Head, all at about the same time 

that energy levels begin to plummet and leg muscles 

suddenly start doing strange things. 

Whilst you may be forgiven for thinking this is mass 

torture, the sense of achievement on finishing the event 

is overwhelming and we are privileged to have such a 

stunning route on our doorstep.

In such a large field, Seaford Strider Timothy Dymott put 

in an excellent performance finishing in 29th position in 

3:38:36. Those next to finish did so in fairly close order, 

Simon Coppard, 4:26:25; Joe Plant, 4:29:01; Alan Browne, 

4:32:49; Amanda Feast, 4:32:41 and Jeff Young, 4:33:46. 

In a field of 20 Striders there were still very creditable 

performances yet to be had, with many of the Striders 

attempting this race for the very first time. Adam 

Haverly crossed the line in 4:38:16; Louisa Scola, 4:44:13; 

Tom Knight, 4:52:24 and Emilie Tearle, 4:54:10. 

Out there for the long haul were Jazz Shiret, 5:21:26; 

Wendy Reed, 5:26:35; Sarah Simcock, 5:29:57; Lindsay 

Tearle, 5:36:14; Tracy Pragnell, 6:26:05; Holly Miller, 

6:26:05; Graham Little, 7:04:02; Simon Nixon, 7:38:10; 

Helen Cox, 7:38:10 and Lisa John, 7:38:11. 

Together with the marathon is the Beachy Head 10K, 

which is again a challenging course, and up for the 

challenge were another eight Striders, who combined a 

run with finishing and then going to cheer in their fellow 

club members who were competing in the marathon. 

These included Lorraine Quigley, 1:06:40; Cathy Tutton, 

1:09:05; Hazel Tarrant, 1:10;08; Debbie Priest, 1:10:24; 

Sarah Anderson, 1:14:09; Sandra Standen, 1:24:07; Lauren 

Morgan, 1:24:16 and Victoria Maleski, 1:24:14.

Seaford Little Theatre 

On Golden Pond 

What’s funny about two parents’ historically difficult 

relationship with their daughter and Dad’s worsening 

memory? I don’t remember the 1981 film On 

Golden Pond, with Katharine Hepburn and Henry 

Fonda, being remotely amusing; rather, it was sad and 

full of pathos. So I settled into my seat expecting a 

gloomy if well-acted evening at the Little Theatre. 

I was wrong! Director Trish Richings took all the 

humour in Ernest Thompson’s lines and made 

us laugh with the elderly Ethel and the even 

older Norman as they returned to their summer 

cabin by the lake, to be confronted by Norman’s 

senility as they removed the dust sheets and 

contemplated months of their own predictable 

company. 

As the long-married 

couple, John Hamilton 

and Ann Mabey were 

completely believable. 

He was irascible, 

frightened and made 

impatient by his failing 

mind and body. She 

was compassionate, loving and frustrated as she hid 

her own emotion to keep life as normal as possible for 

her husband. 

With two reliable 

performances from Little 

Theatre stalwarts like these, 

two new introductions to the 

company stage were also 

welcome. Retired singer and 

former director of Seaford 

Musical Theatre juniors, 

Paula Woolven, brought 

professional realism to her part as the 

daughter, portraying Chelsea with great credibility and 

naturalness in a way that made you understand her 

estrangement from her mom and the man she couldn’t 

bring herself to call Dad. As her boyfriend’s son, school 

student Logan Brewer played young teenager Billy with 

a light touch, bringing his considerable experience on 

other stages to the benefit 

of our local audience. 

More of both please! 

The boyfriend was well 

played by Alan Lade – and 

here I’m struggling to 

think of a play he hasn’t 

appeared in lately – who 

also designed the set, in this case an elaborate log 

cabin that must have taken hours to construct, with a 

beautiful lake viewed through a picture window, 

lit beautifully by Phil 

Armstrong. 

The play pivots around 

the arrival of mailman 

and spurned suitor 

of Chelsea, and Peter 

Barnes, whose comedic 

range expands with every play he is in, gave the 

character an appropriate nervous titter. He bears a 

letter from Chelsea asking to visit on the occasion of 

Norman’s 80th birthday. The awkwardness is palpable 

as Chelsea introduces her boyfriend and Billy to 

Norman, but when Billy stays on his own with Ethel 

and Norman, he rejuvenates Norman and seems to 

unblock his emotional channels by radiating youthful 

enthusiasm for fishing. 

The telephone scene between Woolven and Hamilton 

when they say they love one another was drama 

society gold. And that was just one in many that 

worked because Richings allowed the lines to speak 

for themselves 

without 

overstatement. 

It was good to 

hear Margaret 

Kennedy as 

the telephone 

operator even if 

we couldn’t see her. A technical problem meant there 

was no curtain, but this added to the drama. 

Yes, Seaford, another great production. The next one 

is Ray Cooney and John Chapman’s There Goes the 

Bride, directed by Phil Armstrong, 7th - 15th February. 

I can’t wait.

SEAFORD and DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY www.seafordhorti.com 

A view from the 

Potting Shed 

Christmas is here once again. Another gardening 

year has almost finished. At this time of year 

the garden can look a bit drab, especially on 

these dull and chilly days, so it’s time to bring some 

cheer indoors. Winter flowering plants will add colour 

in the house, along with vases of flowers, whilst the 

Christmas tree takes centre stage with its decorations. 

For thousands of years the evergreen fir tree has 

traditionally been used to celebrate Christian and 

pagan winter festivals. In earlier times they were hung 

upside down from the ceiling using chains! In many 

parts of Europe cherry or hawthorn plants were 

put in pots and brought indoors to flower and to 

decorate at Christmas. In 1510 records show the first 

Christmas tree was in a Latvian marketplace when men 

of the local merchants’ guild used artificial roses for 

decoration. They danced around it, then set the tree 

on fire. Germany is credited in the 16th century with 

bringing Christmas trees into homes decorating them 

with gingerbread, apples and sweets and small glass 

ornaments to hang on them. Christmas trees were 

topic of the month 

Christmas Cactus 

This Brazilian coastal plant also known as 

Schlumbergera favours humid conditions making 

it a suitable plant for indoor use. This plant will 

flower for Christmas with its glossy green leaves 

with either white, yellow, purple or red flowers 

at their tips. Each bloom will last several days. 

Maintain a temperature of 18°C, and water 

weekly to keep the soil just moist, but don’t sit the 

plant in water. Place the pot in moderate light with 

some direct sun. This plant also appreciates up 

to 14 hours of darkness which helps the buds to 

form and trigger blooming. Apply a high-potassium 

fertiliser every two weeks once buds form. Repot 

your cactus each year after flowering and it will be 

ready to bloom again next year. 

popularised in Britain in the 1840s when Prince Albert 

had them set up in Windsor Castle, and this became 

the tradition. In the early 20th century artificial trees 

made from coloured ostrich feathers, paper mâché, 

metal, glass or plastic were introduced, however a real 

Christmas tree is the best way to portray the joy of 

this time of year, setting us on our way to the New Year. 

It won’t be long before the garden brightens up with 

crocuses appearing and a new gardening year begins. 

On behalf of Seaford Horticultural Society I wish 

everyone an enjoyable Christmas and a Happy 

New Year. Sylvia Reeve

JOBS TO DO IN DECember 

3Take cuttings from roses, stems of about 

20cms long of pencil thickness with a bud 

top and bottom, strip the leaves, bury two 

thirds of the cutting in gritty compost. By 

next autumn sturdy plants will be ready 

for planting out. 

3Prune autumn fruiting raspberries to 

ground level before any new growth appears. 

3Avoid walking on your lawn when it has 

frost or snow on it, feet can break and 

damage the frozen blades of grass. 

3Remember to feed the birds during winter. 

MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD 

There is no social evening in December. However 

there is one more outing arranged – a trip to the 

Christmas Extravaganza at Kew Gardens for those 

who have booked. The first meeting in 2020 will 

be on 30th January at 7pm in St Leonard’s Church 

Hall. Membership of the society is due in the new 

year with the new schedule available at this time. 


One of the loveliest plants still blooming in our garden 

at the Crouch at the beginning of last month was Salvia 

‘Amistad’ whose name sums up what we aim to do: 

Salvia – one of the sage family – 

meaning ‘to feel well and healthy’ 

and the varietal name meaning 

‘friendship’. It is believed that 

it was first found at a Mexican 

market. Whatever the truth of 

that, it has since taken 

the gardening world 

by storm. Its hardiness 

means it can be left 

in the ground under the wall 

dividing us from the Peace Garden. Perfect 

for attracting pollinators, it’s a bushy, upright 

perennial, growing to 1.2m with aromatic, 

slightly downy, corrugated bright green, 

slender leaves with pointed ends and bearing profuse, 

large deep purple tubular flowers with black calyces, 

from early summer to first frost. 

After all, no one wants extra work lifting a plant into 

the greenhouse and potting it up when there’s so 

much else to be done preparing a garden for winter 

into spring. At the end 

of October Brian, for 

example, was drilling holes 

into the brick wall and 

screwing in vine wires 

which will support new 

climbers. Nearby another 

team was removing 

rotting sleepers from 

borders in order to 

replace them with new 

ones, cuttings were being taken and the first new 

season leeks were being pulled and sold. 

Allison said: ‘Everyone’s being very proactive, weeding, 

taking cuttings and trying to make space to put in 

fresh shrubs. We’re trying to showcase existing plants 

to better effect. For instance, osteospermums and 

geraniums spread everywhere so we are taking rooted 

cuttings of them and potting them up for next year and 

for sale.’ She explained that 

the idea was to keep the 

garden looking pretty but 

to be aware of leaving 

seed heads that would 

be enjoyed by wildlife. 

‘It’s as easy to let the 

seeds drop and then 

to dig up the seedlings,’ 

she said. Rose hips were being left on and day lilies 

being tidied up. Meanwhile, the garden still had much 

in bloom including the orchid Lady’s Tresses (Spiranthes 

cernua var. odorata), with abutilon still nodding peachily 

among the step-over apple trees. 

Phil spotted a darter dragonfly hovering 

over the dry garden pond which, he 

observed, was hunting on this sunny day 

for somewhere to lay its eggs within the 

shelter of the wall. 

It was good to receive a thank you letter 

from St James’ Trust for our donation of 

tomatoes, and thanks to all those who supported 

volunteers Steph and Ron on their sponsored walk 

for St Wilfrid’s Hospice, helping them raise more 

than £1,000. 

Lastly, local environmental group Greenhavens needs 

volunteers to plant 420 trees along the Ouse. If you 

can help go to https://greenhavens.network/. Our 

own volunteers are at the Community Garden every 

Wednesday morning from 

9.30am until 12.30pm so 

please drop in. And have a 

lovely Christmas!

THE ROYAL SOCIETY 

OF ST GEORGE – 

SEAHAVEN BRANCH 

56 members and guests graced 

Deans Place Hotel at Alfriston 

on 21st October to commemorate 

the Battle of Trafalgar. It turned out 

to be a very good night with the 

response to the Chairman’s welcome 

being given on behalf of the guests 

by Victoria Hancock, East Sussex 

High Sheriff. 

The Immortal Memory of Nelson was delivered 

superbly by our branch member, Harry Summerton, 

a former RN Officer. Harry served his time mainly 

in Submarines but ended his career as a Regulating 

Officer. Another successful raffle boosted our funds, and 

Chairman Bob Peedle MBE was able to announce that 

two gifts are being presented: commemorative wrist 

bands to the children 

of Denton School, who 

celebrated the golden 

anniversary of the 

school, and new business 

cards for the Children 

with Cancer Fund, based 

in Polegate. He also 

reminded everyone that 

the branch has its 10th 

anniversary on 1st January 2020, having 

been formed on 1st January 2010. 

We hope to make the January lunch 

a special one. 

On Thursday 24th October, Branch 

President Laurie Holland attended 

the Polegate offices of the Children with Cancer Charity 

on behalf of the Seahaven Branch of The Royal Society 

of St George. He presented the Founder Chairman, 

Chris Downton and charity fundraiser Zoe King with a 

box of 1,000 business cards. These will be used to help 

publicise the charity and its work. It helps Children with 

Cancer and their families in East Sussex and to meet the 

cost of this work funds need to be raised. 

The charity has received some awards, chief amongst 

them being the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. 

Accompanied by branch Chairman Bob Peedle MBE, 

President Holland was much impressed with the 

enthusiasm and dedication of the volunteers who run 

this vital charitable service.

Supporting someone with 

dementia at Christmas 

As the festive season approaches, Nial Joyce of Clifden House Dementia Care 

Centre, Seaford offers his advice on keeping the celebrations dementia friendly. 

1. Plan ahead: It is easy to get caught up in the 

excitement of Christmas and make plans to attend lots 

of different festive events. Although you might want 

to ‘treat’ your loved one to special days out and trips, 

often crowds and lots of lights may lead to sensory 

overload and distress. Studies show that many people 

with dementia experience increased confusion later in 

the day, so plan outings for the morning, when there 

may be fewer crowds and it will be easier for you to 

enjoy your time together. 

2. Revisit the past: Christmas is the ideal time 

to be nostalgic and enjoy sharing memories. Perhaps 

some of your decorations hold sentimental value or 

there are Christmas family traditions you can enjoy 

together. Many dementia patients find it easier to 

access long past memories rather than recent ones, so 

use this opportunity to take a trip down memory lane. 

3. Give a tour: If your loved one is visiting your 

home for Christmas it may be helpful to them if you 

create some very simple and clear signs to put on 

the doors to all the key rooms, such as the bathroom, 

kitchen, bedroom, and so on. Illustrations as well as 

words are really handy. Then as soon as they arrive, 

walk them around your house and show them where 

everything is. 

4. Streamline the dinner: As much as we 

might be looking forward to a full Christmas dinner 

with all the trimmings, a heaving plate can be daunting 

for someone who has difficulties eating. The person 

with dementia may also feel self-conscious at a large 

dinner table, so avoid making them the centre of 

attention. If you know that they prefer a smaller serving 

(or that they have always hated sprouts!) adapt their 

plate accordingly. Being together at Christmas is what 

counts after all. 

5. Give them a break: In calmer moments 

– such as when the family’s slumped in front of the TV 

mid-afternoon – have some quieter activities to hand. 

Look through old photo albums together, put on one 

of their favourite Christmas films, or simply involve the 

person with dementia in your own activities. Designate 

a quiet room, away from the noise of television and 

music, and allow time for a nap. 

At Clifden House we offer a vibrant and active 

environment, as well as a home for family, friends and 

carers to spend quality time with their loved one. 

Our care team is on hand to offer help and advice 

on communicating with a loved one with dementia, 

whatever the stage of their illness. 

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.

Seaford Handbell 

Ringers celebrate 

20 years 

On Wednesday 6th November, Seaford Handbell 

Ringers celebrated 20 years having formed as a 

group back in 1999. The invited guests joining the 

celebrations included the Mayor of Seaford, Cllr. 

Nazish Adil, the past president of Seaford U3A, 

Robert Stephens, and founder members and relatives. 

With members of both the morning and afternoon 

groups, white gloved and on standby to perform, 

Chairman Alison Aikens welcomed the guests and 

introduced members both past and present. Margaret 

Wilkie, founder member and first Chairman, gave a 

brief history of the group and how it had begun back 

in 1998 at a U3A course for beginners handbell ringing. 

The group enjoyed the course so much, they decided 

to start a group in Seaford. A committee was formed 

and, with a grant from Help the Aged and various fund 

raising events, they were able to buy a set of handbells. 

They borrowed music stands from the U3A and put 

large music scores drawn on big sheets of wallpaper 

on the wall for members to read – wallpaper music. 

Members became leaders and the rest, as they say, is 

history. 

As part of the celebration, the Morning Group 

performed three pieces, led by Margaret Hopkins – 

Handel’s Minuet from Music for the Royal Fireworks, 

followed by My Grandfather’s Clock, played with 

muted bells, and lastly Dream of Vienna by Johann 

Strauss. The pieces were beautifully played and 

rounded off with an enthusiastic applause. 

Additional handbells 

were played, providing 

an even wider range 

of notes. Despite the 

groups only having 

rehearsed once 

together and pre-performance shouts of ‘Who’s 

got G sharp?’, the group managed to pull it off with 

their renditions of Around the World in 80 Days and 

Alexander’s Ragtime Band – we were with you all the 

way ladies – smiles and relief all around and what fun! 

It was a wonderful celebration and we wish Seaford 

Handbell Ringers another 20 years of continued 

success! 

The groups perform throughout the year at various 

functions and are always looking for new members 

to join, so if you are interested in having a go, please 

contact Jo Tigg on 01323 893878 for more details.

of Seaford, morning and afternoon groups; l-r Founder 

member Margaret Wilkie, Mayor of Seaford, Chairman of 

Seaford Handbell Ringers, Alison Aikens. 

The Afternoon Group, led by Jo Tigg, gave their 

performances of The Ash Grove, the Happy Wanderer 

and the West Indian folk song, Mango Walk, all with 

wonderful rhythm and beautiful harmonies. 

Following a delicious buffet lunch, the celebration cake 

in the shape of a handbell, made by member Patricia 

Dunn and her husband John, was cut by Margaret 

Wilkie, along with a generous toast from everyone. 

The Handbell Ringers gave their final performance 

together, involving 16 members from both groups.

Refill Seaford and Newhaven 

Merry Christmas 

As the year draws to a close I am delighted to give you 

an update on the 50 Fountains challenge, which is 

asking our 400 Local Authorities to provide 50 public 

drinking fountains in each area over the next three 

years. It would be wonderful if we could have this 

many in Lewes District. 

We have just heard that Seaford Town Council’s 

application for Community Infrastructure Levy grant 

(CIL) which we were delighted to support was 

successful and with the match funding from this the 

three new water points will be up on our seafront 

before long. I have been told that they will be like the 

first one they installed the Salts, a very high quality 

fountain indeed which is getting a lot of use. 

Campaigner Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall supports the 

call, saying, ‘Accessible free drinking water for people on 

the go is a no-brainer when it comes to kicking some 

single-use plastic out of our lives. And if it means you 

choose water to quench your thirst instead of a sugary 

drink, your body will thank you for it too.’ 

I hope that you have all written in your diaries that on 

4th December (7pm Upper Meeching Hall, Newhaven) 

I will be giving a talk to the Greenhavens Network 

about our work so far and the move to establish 

water fountains in all our open spaces. I will be giving 

an update on our work with to encourage local 

communities to increase accessibility to free tap 

water by: 

chores 

and more 

Cleaning, ironing, errands, admin, etc.

• committing to a target of 50 working public 

fountains; 

• mapping existing drinking fountains on the Refill app; 

• installing new public drinking fountains to reach 

the target. 

Our Young Mayor James Jenkins is also hoping to raise 

funds during his term of office for another drinking 

fountain in the town – more about that in the new 

year. Do let us know if you can suggest a potential 

location or want to fundraise to get one for your own 

local park or green space. 

Finally, 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? Do you need a new reusable bottle? 

If so I hope Santa will bring you one. 

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.

Sussex Wildlife Trust 

Blackcap – Home 

for Christmas 

Seaford is no place for a warbler in winter. As daylight, 

temperature and their insect food dwindles blackcaps, 

whitethroats, chiffchaffs, reed, sedge and willow 

warblers all evacuate England. Each September their 

fragile, feathered bodies fly to Spain and sub-Saharan 

Africa on the promise of warmth, food and, ultimately, 

life. So finding a blackcap swinging on your birdfeeder 

in December will be as unlikely as seeing Santa at a 

midsummer barbeque. But at Christmas miracles can 

happen. Blackcaps return to England in April. Cuckoos 

and chiffchaffs, also early migrants, broadcast their 

arrival with their monotonous two-note tune but the 

blackcap lets loose a rich, full-throated, joyous warble; 

a defiant announcement that he’s cheated death for 

another winter.

The laws of nature clearly state that all European 

blackcaps must migrate south for the winter. But in 

the sixties a small gang of nonconformist blackcaps 

in Germany started a revolution. They headed southwest 

instead of south, ending up in England. Mother 

Nature is not kind to those who disobey her rules and 

this suicide squad was surely sentenced to a frozen 

death in our frosty winter. But instead they found a 

new England. A land of mild winters, ornamental berry 

bushes and kind people who hung balls of fat in their 

gardens. They didn’t freeze and starve. They survived. 

Not only that; the following spring’s short flight home 

to Germany meant they arrived ahead of their lawabiding 

neighbours who were still struggling back from 

their long-haul holiday. The returning rebels were able 

to claim the best territories and produce larger families. 

They raised more revolutionaries who returned 

to England each winter. Now a small population of 

blackcaps make our gardens their winter home; exotic 

apparitions of summer amongst the robins and frost. 

They’ll be gone again by the time ‘our’ British blackcaps 

return, exhausted and oblivious, in April.

A Review of 2019 

As we enter the final furlong of 2019, 

we look back on what’s been making the 

Newberry Tully pages of Seaford Scene. 

January: We kicked off the year with an article 

around what’s the most important question you should 

ask an estate when selling your home. (Email us if you 

want to know what it was.) 

February: We shared six simple environmental tips 

to help people go green in 2019. 

March: We supported Seaford’s new parkrun with 

a donation that went towards buying walkie-talkies for 

the volunteer stewards. 

April: Keeping the running theme going we 

announced our sponsorship of the Martello Rotary 

Club’s Half Marathon trophies. 

May: Lucky for some – we talked about the 13 

things you get when you instruct us to sell or let your 

property. 

June: We reported on all the community groups we 

support locally and why we do it. 

July: We talked about the 30 Second Test and 

whether your home passed it. Most buyers make their 

minds up about a property in less than a minute. 

Stephen Newberry 

Andrew Tully 

October: We met pupils from Seaford Head 

School who were part of their Greenpower electric 

car race team and donated £250 to support them. 

November: We looked at ways to keep your 

pets calm during fireworks season. 

December: We made an office pledge to not talk 

about the election or the B-word. 

We’d like to wish all our clients and readers 

of Seaford Scene a Merry Christmas and Happy 

New Year. 

Andrew and Stephen 

PS: Want to know what your home might sell for in this 

current market? Call us for a free Market Appraisal of 

your home’s true value. 

August: We reported on the winners and overall 

success of the Martello Rotary Club’s Half Marathon. 

September: We caught up, nearly, with the 

Seaford Striders Juniors who we sponsor. We also 

talked about recycling and Seaford’s brilliant 

community spirit.

Who’s Who 

In Seaford? 

Phil Duncan, Founder, 

Curator and Director of 

the Sussex Arts Collective 

visited when we bought our first car and still love the 

view descending down the hill towards Exceat Bridge. 

Barring that a decent coffee in one our splendid cafés. 

What is your idea of perfect happiness? Standing up on 

the Downs looking at a stunning view as the sun 

goes down. 

What has been your most embarrassing moment? Not 

checking my flies before teaching a class of 13 year olds 

and having just removed my jacket to start the lesson 

finding my shirt sticking out of the open zip. 

Which living person do you most admire? Grayson Perry. 

What makes you sad? Cruelty and disregard for the 

vulnerable. 

What words or phrases do you most overuse? ‘That’s smashing’; 

especially inappropriate when talking to a ceramic or 

glass artist about their work! 

How do you relax? Listening to music and Radio 4 

podcasts. 

What is the most important lesson life has taught you? 

Smile and don’t take yourself too seriously. 

What is your favourite journey? Going to Belgium to see 

my Aunt in a village called Bierbeek in Brabant. Its not 

particularly fascinating nor beautiful but it’s such a 

familiar journey which I know so well, having travelled 

it since a I was a child. 

How would you spend a million pounds? Build an arts centre 

for the town. With any change left over I would get 

those DIY jobs done that I’ve been putting off. 

What is your most memorable learning experience? Not 

passing my degree first time around and having to 

sit my last year again. It really sharpened my ability to 

recover in the face of adversity. 

What keeps you awake at night? Brexit! 

What is your greatest extravagance? My five guitars. 

What is your greatest fear? I fear that the creative arts 

in Britain is becoming merely an extension of the 

technology industries in a world of virtual reality 

designers. It concerns me that our arts school system is 

being marginalised in favour of more academic subjects. 

What is your favourite smell? Freshly baked bread or freshly 

cut wood. 

What is the best advice you have ever been given? 

My dad always said to ‘have faith’. 

What would your motto be? Don’t look down. 

Which person in history would you most like to meet? 

Walter Gropius; director of the Bauhaus Arts School. 

What or who is the greatest love in your life? 

My dog... and my wife; we have been through a lot 

Phil has lived in Seaford for five 

and a half years, having lived 

in Lewes, Brighton and Hove 

before then. As well as being the Director of Sussex 

Arts Collective, which he started in 2006, he is 

also a ceramic artist/maker. Phil was educated in 

St Albans and completed a foundation course in 

Art at Barnfield College, Luton. He gained a BA 

Honours Degree in 3D Design from Brighton 

Polytechnic and taught art, design and photography 

in a secondary school for 21 years until he curated 

his first large scale exhibition at the HOP Gallery 

in Lewes. He also completed a postgraduate course 

in Information Technology in Art & Design. He has 

been a member of Nevill Juvenile Bonfire Society 

in Lewes, the National Trust and the Sussex Wildlife 

Trust. Phil has been married to Aileen for 36 years 

and together they have re-homed dogs from the 

Dogs Trust. They currently have an Australian Kelpie 

named Chloe. 

What does your role involve? Promoting and developing 

the Sussex Arts Collective; finding new members; 

organising our events; sourcing venues; organising 

the exhibitors; creating promotional material and 

ensuring the smooth running of the events – just about 

everything! 

What do you like best about Seaford? The people. 

What is your favourite piece of music? One Nation Under a 

Groove by Funkadelic: An epic piece of dance music; 

never fails to bring a smile. However, there are a million 

and one tunes I could choose.

inner wheel club 

Pam Ayres’ Up In 

The Attic at the 

Congress Theatre, 

Eastbourne, 

was enjoyed 

by seventeen 

members of 

Inner Wheel 

Club of Seaford, 

accompanied 

by two 

Rotarians. All attending particularly appreciated the ‘front 

row seats’ sourced by Janis Livingstone, the Club’s Social 

Secretary. Up In The Attic is Pam Ayres’ latest book which 

is filled with her trademark hilarity; with poems including 

the trials of dining out in gastro-pubs with Don’t Put My 

Dinner on the Slate! and the dubious joy of being an 

exhausted, panic-stricken hostess in The Dinner Party. 

The Annual Inner Wheel International Rally was held 

in Ashington and well attended by members. Past 

President Kay Young in her role as Chair of the District 

International Committee welcomed members including 

Shamim Govani, International Service Committee 

Chairman. A significant amount of money was raised on 

the day by Seaford Inner Wheel Members, co-ordinated 

by Sector Co-ordinator Val Franklin and friends who 

arranged a bottle stall. Additional fundraising activities by 

other clubs in the district took place on the day, e.g. cake 

and handicraft stalls. All funds raised were in support 

of a local based charity – the Coco’s Foundation, which 

supports housing and educational projects in South 

Africa. 

Later in the month six members from the Inner Wheel 

Club of Lewes joined members of Seaford Inner Wheel 

at the home of Janis Livingstone, where a scrumptious 

lunch was provided. Funds were raised for Sight Savers 

from donations for lunch and a raffle.

Seaford Kurlers 

Welcome to Seaford Kurlers’ last article 

for 2019. 

I hope that you all enjoyed the Seaford Bonfire 2019 

display. They put on a wonderful show every year and 

deserve a big round of applause. A huge thank you to 

everyone involved. 

On the whole 2019 has not been a bad year, the 

weather has been very mixed, but never too extreme. 

I hope that the winter does not bring a freeze as I do 

not cope well when ice is on the ground – I tend to 

end up slipping over, which is not very nice! 

Seaford Kurlers have had a mixed year and on the 

whole a good one. As with most small clubs we 

welcome new members. We are a friendly group of 

people and play the gentle sport of New Age Kurling 

every week. The sport is suitable for any level of 

mobility and can be played very competitively or just 

for fun. Why not give it a go? You’ll also get to know 

people that you have never met and maybe some will 

become good friends. 

We have recently revived our annual competition 

and this will begin in 2020. The rules are very similar 

to bowls and so is the scoring – in fact some of our 

members are ex-bowls players! 

We also have a social side and have two or three 

coach outings a year organised with Lynne’s Travel. 

Every December we have our annual Christmas lunch 

at the Seaford Branch of The Royal British Legion which 

is a very popular event and at our last meeting of the 

year we enjoy festive mince pies. 

For more details about the club, contact Mrs June 

Wood on 01323 895376 or email: sally1989@tiscali. 

co.uk. Your first visit is free of charge and after that, 

each week costs £2.50. There is also an Annual 

Membership fee of £5 payable at the start of each year. 

I would like to wish all Seaford Scene readers a Merry 

Christmas and a Happy New Year. May 2020 

be a good one for all of you!

Debut Author 

Inspired by 

Local Festivities 

Back in 2013 aspiring writer, Emma Jackson, 

went along to see the Christmas lights 

being turned on in Alfriston village with 

her partner and one-year-old daughter. It was 

a bitter night, but the buoyant atmosphere and 

chocolate-box setting set her mind racing with 

possibilities for a Christmas novel. 

From that spark of an idea, A 

Mistletoe Miracle, a festive romantic 

comedy, grew. Slowly. Emma 

squeezed in writing in the evenings 

and during her children’s naptimes, 

over the next six years. 

She joined the Romantic 

Novelists’ Association on their 

New Writers’ Scheme at the 

beginning of the year, determined to focus her efforts. 

She was overwhelmed by the encouragement given 

by the published authors and fellow NWS members 

and highly recommends joining to any romance writers 

looking for support and friendly guidance (there are 

some bursaries available). 

When the RNA’s readers critique report came back 

glowing, she was finally ready to submit her manuscript. 

Orion Dash made her dreams of becoming a 

published author come true when they offered her 

a contract with their new digital first imprint and her 

debut novel was published on 24th November. 

Nick, the very grumpy – and very 

gorgeous – pilot who is staying for 

the holidays. Between mince pie 

emergencies, deadly decorations, 

and two dozen disgruntled guests, 

Beth might just find a miracle 

under the mistletoe this Christmas... 

Heartwarming and hilarious, this 

is the perfect festive romance to 

curl up with this winter. Perfect for 

fans of Heidi Swain and Sue Moorcroft. 

A Mistletoe Miracle can be downloaded via Amazon 

onto any device with a Kindle app. 

You can follow Emma on Twitter (@ESJackson1), 

Facebook (@EmmaJacksonAuthor) or check out her 

website (www.esjackson.co.uk) for more news about 

her writing.

break-up looks more like a festive fiasco. With her mum

DECEMBER AT 

SEAFORD MUSEUM 

Well, our busy summer ended and we finally 

took down our very sad bunting, all but 

destroyed by the winds of the great bay of 

Seaford after many years of faithful service! 

We have been incredibly fortunate that a team of 

ladies were both willing and able to sew new flags for 

us and these will be adorning the museum next year 

once the winter storms have gone and spring has 

sprung! Very many thanks to Lynn and everyone else 

involved in this gargantuan task. This has been greatly 

appreciated especially as they are now ready for our 

Golden Anniversary next year – 50 years of Seaford 

Museum. 

The winter months will give us an opportunity to do 

maintenance work whilst the museum is closed during 

the week. We have recently opened a much needed 

conservation room for our volunteer team which has 

been made 

possible by the 

skills and hard 

work of our 

fantastic ‘heavy 

gang’. Regretfully 

the roof has had 

to be closed 

for a couple of 

weeks whilst 

the roof door is being restored by a specialist team. 

Hopefully it will be back in use allowing us to fly flags 

once more by the time this is published. 

We will continue to be open to the public on both 

Saturdays and Sundays from 11am – 4pm throughout 

the winter. 

Have you ever wondered about the history of your 

house? In our archives we have a housing register in 

which we have details of many of the houses in town 

together with much else. We recently had a visitor 

whose great grandfather, William Tyler-Smith, was 

one of the most important men in the development 

of 19th-century Seaford. There was a very fruitful 

exchange of material – we are always learning from 

our visitors and are most anxious to glean memories of 

local residents particularly of those who lived through 

WWII in Seaford. 

Our archives are open each first Sunday of the month 

between 1.30pm – 4 pm. If you let us know what you 

are interested in beforehand we can make sure we 

have delved into our records ahead of your visit. A visit 

would also give you the opportunity to browse in the 

gift shop and possibly buy one of our new museum 

logo mugs and coasters – ideal for Christmas. 

We are ending the year with our traditional Christmas 

Quiz on Friday 13th December at 7pm in St Leonard’s 

Church Hall. Come and enjoy fish and chips and mulled 

wine all for £10 (non-members) and £8 (members). 

It is always a good night. Tickets from the museum or 

Newberry Tully Estate Agents. 

Everyone at the museum would like to wish you 

all a Happy Christmas. We hope to see you soon!

town crier gets 

stitched up! 

Town Crying is not a personality cult, but it is 

nice to be immortalised in embroidery. 

The Bayeaux 11th 

century Embroidery 

– strictly it’s not a 

tapestry – shows 

two Bellmen, in 

Westminster Abbey 

in 1065 with the 

coffin of Edward 

the Confessor. Perhaps they were the first ‘Dead 

Ringers’! 

Seaford’s Town Crier 

was delighted recently to 

rediscover he had been 

embroidered back in 1994 

by Seaford U3A’s Quilt 

Makers.

Seaford W I Centenary 

Banner, lovingly made by 

a local milliner Gill Steele. 

Coincidentally she is a 

former History Student 

whom he taught in the 

1970s! 

In 2018 – note the 

change to an historically 

correct uniform – he was 

painted in watercolours 

and coloured pencils by 

talented local artist Daryl 

Cogavin from a photo by 

Tony Willer. 

Also in 2018 he was 

There is a Town Crier 

mannequin in Seaford 

Museum, possibly stuffed by public demand! But of 

course the ultimate legitimation for a Town Crier is 

to have a pub named after him or her. There is The 

Town Crier in Chester, and 

Hastings had a Town Crier pub 

in the 1980s. Perhaps Seaford’s 

Town Crier (since 1977!) and 

Serjeant at Mace will have a 

Sussex Ale named after him?

CONCENTUS SINGS 

CHRISTMAS 

Concentus has an exuberant Christmas concert 

in store for you! The choir has been rehearsing 

since September (and twice a week from 

November!) and has had its extra full-day 

rehearsal to make sure that their performance 

is tip-top for you. 

Adrian White, Musical Director, has once again used 

his very considerable skills to enable Concentus to use 

volume, pace, expression and feeling to subtly convey 

the nuances hidden in the notes and words of all the 

pieces, ensuring that the scores are more than marks on 

paper but also encompass the fine shades of meaning 

which transform performances and are the keynote of 

the choir which Adrian has created. 

There are lots of carols in the concert – some 

well known, some less familiar – famous classical 

pieces, humour, three group pieces, solos, carols for 

the audience to sing and at least one song with no 

connection to Christmas at all! Groups and soloists are 

all drawn from within this large and talented choir. 

G.F. Handel composed two of the classical pieces: you 

will thrill to the passion and energy of the first, And the 

Glory – the world famous opening chorus from The 

Messiah; and the second, Zadok the Priest, lifts praise 

and rejoicing to new heights – composed as it was 

for the coronation of George II and sung prior to the 

anointing of the Sovereign at the coronation of every 

British monarch since then. 

Not all the works are ‘thunder and lightning’. Amongst 

the others are: Shepherd’s Pipe Carol (John Rutter), 

which tells the Christmas story in vivacious musical 

question and answer form between a shepherd boy and 

a traveller; the Angels’ Carol, also by Rutter, is a movingly 

joyful celebration of all that the holy baby will bring ‘to 

the waiting nations’; A Christmas Blessing (P. Stopford) 

echos the same sentiments in the most beautiful gentle 

way with voices soaring in well-wishing; while Seal 

Lullaby (E. Whittaker) evocatively creates the sound and 

feeling of the undulating surface of a quiet sea. 

Under Starry Skies(R.E. Schram) – a group song – has 

been described as ‘a gorgeous word painting setting 

the mood for the first Christmas night with shepherds 

watching and angels singing.’ In the middle of the piece 

is tucked the traditional Welsh carol All Through the 

Night; Grown-up Christmas List (D. Foster/L. Thompson- 

Jenner) thought-provokingly offers up an alternative 

wish for gifts at Christmas, while The Carol Singers (T.C. 

Sterndale Bennett) tells the story of some eager carol 

singers who end up ‘greeting the ’appy morn’ in the 

police station! 

Sing a Song of Christmas (L. Bricusse/arr. B.L. Bailey) will 

prove interesting. It is an amalgam of two Christmas 

songs – Sing a Christmas Carol from the movie ‘Scrooge’ 

and Deck the Halls. The singing instructions for it say: 

‘this should be sung in the style of Old English carollers 

with Baroque flair. Great fun to sing especially for the 

high sopranos!’ And lastly for this article but not for the 

concert, In the Bleak Midwinter (H. Darke) is a carol is 

based on a poem written in 1872 by Christina Rossetti, 

and this version by Darke is the one performed on the 

radio broadcasts of 9 Lessons and Carols by the Kings 

College choir, whom Darke conducted during World 

War II. 

This gives a taste of what is on offer for you. To hear 

much more in this very Christmassy Christmas concert 

(which will prove very popular with Concentus’ 

audiences) make sure you note the date and get your 

tickets in good time.

NEWHAVEN CHURCH 

CELEBRATES 900 

YEARS OF HISTORY 

A celebration of Newhaven’s oldest building – 

St Michael’s Church – will take place during 2020 

which marks the 900th anniversary of the Norman 

church. It is hoped that a programme of events 

planned for the whole year will provide something 

for everyone in the town. 

The project has already attracted Arts Council funding, 

allowing local composer and musician Mike Flood to 

write a suite of music, narration and song, telling many 

stories of the history of Newhaven over the past nine 

centuries. 

Rt Rev Dr Bill Musk, Chairman of the committee 

planning the events, said: ‘We would love the celebration 

to be a town affair for everyone to get involved in 

Craftstone 

of Sussex 

Gas, Electric & Solid Fuel 

Fireplaces & Stoves 

Shop 3-4 l 31 High Street l Seaford 

Telephone: 01323 895666 

www.craftstoneofsussex.co.uk 

as well as the church 

celebrating 900 years of 

Christian witness in the 

town. 

‘Our goal is for those 

living in and around 

Newhaven to remember 

the past, celebrate the 

best of past and present, 

and together shape a good future for the church and the 

town.’ 

Artwave in August 2020 will provide a focus for some of 

the planned events including an exhibition of the social 

history of local families and photographic portraits of 

familiar faces around the town centre. 

Other highlights of the year will include: 

• a physical timeline around the church showing 

national and local historical events; 

• a stained-glass window art project with Harbour 

Primary School; 

• a book on St Michael’s Church and Newhaven town 

due for launch in May; 

• a flower festival in July with the theme ‘Heritage, 

Haven and Hope’; 

• ‘Breathe’ – a creative space to step into and find 

stillness and peace in June. 

The events have been planned by current members 

of the congregation of St Michael’s over the past two 

years. The celebrations will also include opportunities 

for people to explore the Christian faith through Start 

courses, meditative readings of St Matthew’s gospel and 

a study of some of the Old Testament prophets. There 

will also be special church services during the year. 

St Michael’s Church was built in 1120 by the monks of 

Lewes Priory on land given by William de Warenne who 

also ordered the building of Lewes Castle and Lewes 

Priory. Newhaven was originally Mecinge or Meeching 

until the name changed to Newhaven when the River 

Ouse broke through the shingle banks that ran to 

Seaford. The earliest recorded vicar is Robert in 1253. 

There are two interesting memorials in the churchyard – 

one to Thomas Tipper, a famous local brewer in the 18th 

century and the other is a memorial to the 75 seamen 

who lost their lives when HMS Brazen was blown into 

the cliffs nearby in January 1800. 

The church has been extended three times throughout 

its nine centuries of history and it is hoped that many of 

the planned events will appeal to those with an interest 

in the history of Newhaven.

A Family of Birds at Seaford Head 

Seaford Head Nature Reserve is in the Sussex Downs 

Area of Outstanding National 

Beauty and the Sussex Heritage 

Coast, and spans from Seaford 

Head over to Cuckmere Valley and 

inland with the Cuckmere River. The 

reserve is jointly owned by Seaford 

Town Council, the National Trust 

and East Sussex County Council. 

Part of the reserve is managed by 

Sussex Wildlife Trust manage with the help of many 

valuable volunteers and park rangers, and funded by 

Seaford Town Council. The remainder is managed and 

maintained by Seaford Town Council. This area is home 

to many nationally rare and significant species of plant, 

birds and insects, and is a popular area for visitors from 

all over with beautiful views of the Seven Sisters Cliffs 

and the Coastguard Cottages. 

Recently it was visited by a family from Ringmer, who 

had a wonderful day of bird watching there. The family 

got in touch with Seaford Town Council and shared 

their experience with this beautiful piece of writing by 

10-year-old Jay: 

A Family Bird Watching Trip to Seaford 

Head, 6th October 2019 

I got out of the car and got my binoculars ready. We had 

all chosen our three birds we thought 

we would each see today. The first 

person to see all three of their birds 

was the winner. I chose a chiffchaff, 

herring gull and a robin. Mum chose 

a wren, jackdaw and a starling. My 

brother, Robin, chose a woodpigeon, 

carrion crow and a black-headed gull. 

Lastly, Dad chose a raven, stonechat and a meadow pipit. 

We set off with the telescope and other equipment. 

Robin didn’t take his bins because he didn’t want to 

carry them, and we had the telescope anyway. Well, I 

took mine and I’m glad I did because there were some 

good birds, which will be mentioned later. 

The weather was cool, dry 

and with a steady breeze 

coming from the east. We had 

lunch on a bench in front of 

some scrub. Magpies hopped 

about in the thickets while 

dunnocks called to each other 

behind us. 

When we had finished our 

packed lunch, we headed 

upwards towards the gold 

course. Robin and I ran about 

collecting golf tees as swallows 

and house martins whirled 

overhead. Then we split up for a 

bit; I went with Dad, Nanna and Grandad, while Robin 

went with Mum. 

A skylark passed by, chirping as it did so. We walked 

down the path by the golf course. Suddenly, Dad 

spotted a meadow pipit land on a nearby post. I raised 

my bins to my eyes and turned the focus wheel. It was 

a great view. I put them down and peered through the 

’scope. The sight was even better! Its belly was patterned 

with black marks like a song thrush. Grandad took a 

photo of it with his camera. 

We then continued our walk, but it wasn’t long till we 

stopped again – a pair of stonechats (one male, one 

female) were sitting in a gorse bush in front of us. I got 

the ’scope on them, but it wasn’t easy because they kept 

moving about. Eventually I got them in the view finder. 

I showed Dad the birds while Grandad played with his 

camera. After a while, some people came by and scared 

them away. Dad then said we should get a move 

on because Mum and Robin might be waiting 

for us. We walked along by the cliff edge. The 

Seven Sisters stretched along the coastline in 

front of us. 

It was when we passed the path that joined 

from the car park that we remembered we 

didn’t tell Mum which path to take to meet up with us. 

The thought of her and Robin walking all the way to 

Cuckmere Haven without us sped us up! Just as we 

thought we had completely lost them, I spotted them 

sitting by a gate further down the path. 

We all walked together down to Hope Gap and went 

down the steps to the rocky beach below. A little egret 


stood on the rocks as two oyster catchers flew by. 

Dad saw a whimbrel, but when I went to look through 

the ’scope, it had gone. A rock pipit flew in noisily, as if 

announcing itself, and landed on a rock. I got a chance 

to look at it through my bins just before it flew away. 

Eventually we went back up the steps and strode down 

the hill towards Cuckmere Haven and the river valley. 

Near the bottom, we stopped to look at grey herons 

through the ’scope. 

We then took a path than ran parallel with the 

Cuckmere river. Through a gap in the hedge, five young 

grey herons were lined up next to each other! Wigeons 

and Canada geese gathered behind them. We moved a 

little further down the path where there was another 

opening. A chiffchaff, blue tit and a chaffinch were 

hopping about in the bushes next to us. 

But the most amazing sight was the eighteen curlews 

and fourteen little egrets mooching about on the grass 

by the river! I looked through my bins, but they were a 

little too far away to see much detail with an 8x32 lens. 

So instead, I looked through the ’scope. I could see the 

curlews were well camouflaged for this habitat – with 

the naked eye they looked like tussocks of grass. 

Suddenly a kingfisher flew up the river, a blue-ish dot 

darting over the water. 

After a while, we set off up another hill that would 

take us back to our starting point. A buzzard was being 

harassed by three crows. When we got to the top of the 

hill, a green woodpecker flew in front of us and landed in 

a nearby tree. As well as that, we heard a great spotted 

woodpecker calling from the same clump of trees. 

We then walked on for a while until we got to the Old 

Barn by the car park. Several pied wagtails fluttered 

about on the roof of the barn, and I got them I the 

’scope and we all had a look. Every now and again, a 

wren would pop up onto a window frame of the barn. 

Linnets sat on branches in the dense scrub. I looked at 

them through my bins, their pinky-red foreheads and 

bellies showing nicely. 

After that small burst of birds, we headed back to the 

car. As I was getting in, a rook flew over, squawking loudly. 

It had been a good day as we had seen 38 different 

species of birds. I remembered that I was the first 

person to spot all of my own 3 birds that I’d chosen for 

our bird spotting game. Mum came second and Robin 

third, but Dad never saw a raven, so he came last.

fundraising 

opportunity for 

Local charities 

Seaford Town Council 

has been looking at 

opening Martello 

Field (west) as an 

additional car parking 

space during the 

busy summertime 

weekends during 

2020. This is following 

residents’ feedback 

regarding the 

extremely busy promenade and lack of car parking 

during the summer months of 2019. 

The Martello Field (west) will be available to local 

charity/community groups to hire from May through 

to September, where this space can be marshalled for 

extra car parking. The local charity/community groups 

will be able to take donations in return for offering the 

extra car parking space for the day and to help raise 

money towards their cause. Temporary signs will be 

available to promote the location of the car park along 

the promenade. 

If your charity or community group would be 

interested in this opportunity please do contact 

facilities@seafordtowncouncil.gov.uk for further 

details.

Neighbourhood 

Watch Roundup 

It is an absolute truth that nobody knows your 

neighbourhood better than you. You know what looks 

and feels right, and what doesn’t. When things are not 

right, none of us is the type of person who would ignore 

a threat to ourselves, our neighbours or our friends. It’s 

this on-the-ground knowledge that our Police rely upon 

to keep Seaford and Bishopstone a safe and relatively 

crime free town. They rely on us to be their eyes and 

ears, and none are more qualified than us to be those 

eyes and ears. 

A wise man over the pond once wrote that the more 

things change, the more things stay the same. 21st 

Century Policing is no different. While we don’t see 

Bobbies on the beat anymore, this doesn’t mean that 

the Police can’t see you, or that we don’t have effective 

policing. Modern policing is both proactive and reactive, 

utilising resources to best serve you. Proactive policing is 

about prevention, and it’s this aspect of modern policing 

that relies on us, good neighbours, the eyes and ears, to 

support Police efforts and do our bit to keep our town 

a safe one. You can read more about modern policing 

and how it is changing here: www.sussex.police.uk/ 

police-forces/sussex-police/areas/campaigns/campaigns/ 

the-pcso-model-is-changing/ 

! 

By reporting every incident, 

online preferably, the 

Prevention division of policing 

can quickly and efficiently focus 

resources to where they are 

needed most. The police are 

reliant on us, the neighbours, 

to tell them what’s going on 

and what’s needed where. This is particularly true for 

petty crimes, anti-social behaviour, anti-social driving 

and acts of vandalism. By reporting online, hot spots 

are quickly identified, and the right resources can be 

despatched to attend to those issues. The Reactionary 

arm of modern policing can therefore be used more 

efficiently. 

The Police Call Centre and Online Reporting Tools 

are state of the art and are relied upon by decision 

makers for Police funding and resource allocation. When 

incidents are not reported, this translates into low crime 

statistics and as a result, funding and resources are 

allocated elsewhere. In Seaford we are lucky to have, 

by comparison, very low crime figures but unless we 

get behind our Police, and embrace our role in crime 

prevention, this will not always be the case. Unless we 

change and embrace modern policing, our town will 

change too. 

Posting incidents on social media takes more time than 

it does to report online at www.sussex.police.uk or

y email to 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk. Typically, the 

Police do not follow social media and do not rely on 

our various Facebook noticeboards for accurate crime 

statistics, nor are those Facebook reports admissible in 

court as evidence. If we want solutions, we have to 

stop being part of the problem. 

Emergencies, crime in progress, suspicious behaviour in 

progress, anti-social behaviour in progress or anything 

else that needs immediate police action must be phoned 

through to 999. Non-emergency incidents can be 

phoned through to 101 but preferably reported online 

or by email. 

By joining the Neighbourhood Watch (a steal at £3 a 

year) you are also doing your part, quite visibly, to deter 

criminals just by displaying the logo on your door. Report 

all non-emergency incidents online or by email, and 

you are doing your bit to focus police resources where 

they are needed the most. We criticise the Police for 

‘doing nothing’ when we have to ask ourselves what we 

are actively doing to support policing efforts. Most of 

us would answer ‘very little’. It’s time to be the change. 

You can join the Neighbourhood Watch by visiting our 

website www.sandbnhw.org/join or by dropping an 

email to members@sandbnhw.co.uk or by using the

Lewes District Citizens Advice 

ENERGY ADVICE 

Lewes District Citizens Advice is running an 

exciting project over the winter months to help 

people to keep warm and healthy in their homes. 

Citizens Advice has secured funding from energy 

suppliers to deliver one to one energy advice from 

now until the end of March 2020. 

We want to help people to get the best deal from 

their supplier and help them to understand tariffs, bills 

and the fuel options open to them. Some residents 

may already be in arrears and have concerns about 

how they are going to pay their bills over the winter 

months when their energy consumption is likely to 

increase. We can help with identifying energy efficiency 

measures, thermal efficiency measures and even 

identifying grants that may help to reduce the arrears. 

Our trained advisers can use the appointment to

12 tips for christmas 

1) Plan early: Plan how much you are going to spend 

on each person and stick to it. 

2) Don’t forget everyday bills: It may be Christmas, 

but keep on top of priority bills, such as rent and 

council tax. 

3) Think twice about overdrafts: Don’t run up an 

overdraft without first chatting to your bank. 

4) Keep it simple: Pay for your goods with cash or a 

debit card if you can. 

5) Shop around: Look for the best price and buy 

only what you want, not what others say you need. 

6) Avoid unauthorised lenders: Borrowing from 

loan sharks is never a good idea. 

7) … and unauthorised traders: Whatever the 

deal, don’t buy from unauthorised traders. 

8) Read the small print: Check credit agreements 

for hidden extras and work out the total amount to 

repay. 

9) Do your own credit checks: If you plan to use a 

credit card, shop around. 

10) Be organised: If you’ve borrowed, repayment will 

be due before you know it. Make sure you make at 

least the minimum repayment or you’ll be hit with 

charges. 

11) Start planning for next Christmas: It may 

sound crackers, but just after Christmas is the best 

time to start saving. 

12) Get help if you’re worried: We can give you 

solid, free and impartial debt advice online, over 

the phone and face-to-face.

Christmas 

Traditions 

Since moving to Seaford four 

years ago and having a young 

family, we’ve become more 

inclined to make our own 

family traditions – things that 

we do annually, places we visit 

when the festive season arrives 

and all those little extras that 

make Christmas with a young 

family so exciting. 

Christmas in the Hanby-Penn house starts on 1st 

December, when a cheeky elf arrives in our house. 

He comes to stay for the month to help the children 

prepare for Christmas and also to report back to the 

big man himself if necessary. Some families go mad with 

crazy elf antics and I must admit we have had toilet 

roll wrapped around the Christmas tree and the elf

wearing pants on his head...nothing starts the month 

better than a bit of family fun. 

Then of course it is Seaford’s very own Christmas 

Magic! We love bundling up and walking about town 

to see the festivities, from Father Christmas and 

his reindeer, to fair rides and then the all important 

switching on of the Christmas lights. For such a small 

town, we do well to start the Christmas period in the 

right way. I’m looking forward to this year’s event on 

7th December. 

We’ve also visited Wakehurst Place for ‘Glow Wild’, 

a fantastic nightime walk with lights and decorations 

throughout Wakehurst’s garden. This is an excellent 

fresh air activity with mulled wine and twinkly lights, 

a great evening for young and old. The only slight 

downside is the need to book in summer to be able to 

get a slot for December! 

Come Christmas Eve we need to get the kids OUT 

and burn off that energy and excitement. Our 

favourite spots are Arlington Reservoir to collect all 

the treasures (largely acorns and pine cones) or a bike 

ride/scoot along Cuckmere. We have so many fantastic 

places for walks/bikes rides locally, that we really are 

spoilt for choice! 

We aren’t always home for Christmas Day itself, but 

this year we will be and I’m hoping to get to the beach. 

It’s my favourite place, come rain, sun or snow (wind is 

possibly the only element that makes the beach slightly 

hard work!) and what could be better than putting 

the turkey on to roast, wrapping up in your new 

Christmas jumper/scarf/hat (delete as appropriate) and 

walking along our own beach with greetings of ‘Merry 

Christmas’ from those around you. Perfect, I’d say.

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 the Sussex Police 

website, where you can learn of current information on 

different types of scam new scam stories, alerts 

and advice. 

Scam Mail 

Many people in the 

UK and overseas are 

lured by the thrill of a 

surprise win and find 

themselves parting with 

large amounts of money in order to claim fake prizes. 

Often victims of this particular scam are the elderly 

and vulnerable. There is a huge range and variety of 

mass market mail, some of which will be obviously 

fraudulent and others that will not. Whatever the 

case you should always be wary of what you reply to. 

What you should know 

You cannot win 

money or a prize in a 

lottery if you have not 

entered it. You cannot 

be chosen at random 

if you do not have an 

entry. 

Many Mass Market 

scams will trick 

you into parting with 

money or providing your banking or personal details 

in the belief that you will win a cash prize. You do not 

have to pay a fee to claim a legitimate prize. 

It can only take a single response to a scammer to 

be inundated with further scam mail. Your name and 

address will be included on what’s known as a ‘Sucker’s 

List’ and you may receive large amounts of scam mail 

on a daily basis. 

A fake prize scam will tell you that you have won a 

prize or competition. You may receive confirmation 

of this by post, email or text message. There will often 

be costs involved in claiming the prize and even if you 

receive a prize it may not be what was promised 

to you. 

Psychic and clairvoyant scams can also be used to set 

you up to fall for a lottery scam. If a psychic gives you a 

list of lucky lottery numbers, don’t be surprised if you 

receive a letter soon afterwards telling you that you’ve 

just won a lottery you’ve never heard of and do not 

remember entering. 

THIS IS ALL PART OF THE SCAM! 

Be aware that items advertised in the 

post you receive may be marketed as 

‘High Quality Exclusive Goods’ but in 

reality can be extremely poor value for 

money. Another marketing technique 

is to offer a share of a cash prize but to win you must 

place an order for goods that in fact are not value for 

money. 

Be wary when sending money to, or receiving money 

from, someone you do not know and trust. This may 

be a ploy by a scammer to get you to pass money 


through your 

bank account 

that could be 

stolen from 

someone else’s 

account. 

Technically you 

may be money 

laundering and become what is known as a ‘Money 

Mule’. If convicted of money laundering you could be 

sent to prison and having a criminal conviction can 

make it difficult for you to obtain financial products in 

the future and may affect your job prospects. 

Remember: Genuine lotteries will not ask you 

to pay a fee to collect your winnings. 

Caution: Never send money abroad or to 

someone you don’t know and trust. 

Think: Don’t provide banking or personal details to 

someone you don’t know and trust. 

Investigate: Examine all the terms and 

conditions of any offer very carefully.

Our 50th Anniversary Charter Lunch in October was a 

great success. We were joined by many past members, 

friends of Lions, members of Lions Clubs in our district, 

and their families. We were particularly pleased to be 

able to welcome our District Governor, Lion David 

Butler OBE and Seaford’s Mayor, Councillor Nazish 

Adil, who joined our President David Hemming and his 

wife Mary at the top table. A memorable occasion was 

enjoyed by everyone. 

Santa Sleigh 

During November our focus was on preparing the 

Santa Sleigh for its annual outing round Peacehaven. 

Our current sleigh, built originally for us by Malcolm 

Webb of Claremont Kitchens, is being given its yearly 

clean and maintenance check after being in storage all 

year. Santa’s elves are polishing all the lights, recording 

some new carols and stocking up with fresh carrots

SEAFORD CHAMBER 

OF COMMERCE 

SUPPORTS SEAFORD 

HEAD SCHOOL PTA 

On Thursday 7th November 2019 the Chamber 

presented a cheque for £7,200 to Headteacher Bob 

Ellis and Rob Handy from Seaford Head School. Each 

year, a Golf Day is organised by the Chamber with 

sponsorship from local business, including a dinner and 

luxury auction; a fabulous amount was raised from this 

year’s event. The total raised was then match-funded by 

Barclays bank, resulting in this donation. 

The school promotes Mental Health and Wellbeing for 

all pupils and their Student Council has suggested that 

equipment for an outdoor gym would not only benefit 

their physical health, but spending time outside in the 

fresh air would have a massive positive impact over the

year. The donation will help the school to purchase the 

equipment for this purpose. 

The school is very dependent on their PTA fundraising 

to help the school reach its goals and supporting pupils 

in their education by subsidising school trips, those who 

deserve to but would be unable to attend the Year 11 

Prom, paid for the new wildlife garden managed by the 

students and their Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. 

Schools in East Sussex lost over £37 million of funding, 

equating to £273 per pupil. Seaford Head School will 

have had a cut of £1.5 million by 2020 and this equates 

to a loss of funding for 6 teachers. Failing to invest in 

children can trigger substantial economic, social and 

political costs resulting from negative outcomes such 

as early school drop-out, poor labour market entry, 

risky sexual behaviours, substance abuse, and crime and 

violence – as well as other anti-social behaviour.

Mini Panettone 

Little festive 

treats 

Preparation time: 45 minutes (allow 4-5 hours for 

proving time). Cooking time: 20 minutes. Makes: 6. 

Ingredients 

250g good quality plain flour 

1 tsp dried yeast 

Pinch of salt 

100ml whole milk, warmed (not hot) 

3 eggs (two beaten together, one extra) 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

50g golden caster sugar, plus extra for dusting 

100g softened butter 

Zest and juice of one orange 

100g raisins 

100g sultanas 

100g mixed peel (for non-peel-lovers you can 

substitute cranberries) 

Method 

Soak the fruit overnight in the orange juice. Mix the 

flour and salt, the yeast and the milk in a mixer with a 

dough hook. You can do it by hand, it just takes longer. 

Gradually mix in two beaten eggs and the vanilla. 

Knead until the dough is smooth and springy. Leave in a 

bowl, covered with a damp cloth and allow to rise until 

doubled in size. 

Add the sugar, butter and the yolk from the remaining 

egg. Mix again, either with the machine, or by hand, until 

the dough is smooth again. Add the fruit and zest and 

knead quickly until it’s 

all incorporated into 

the dough. Leave in a 

bowl, covered with a 

damp cloth, in a cool 

place for at least two 

hours until doubled 

in size again. You can 

leave it in the fridge 

overnight if you prefer. 

Line a large, six-holed 

muffin tray with paper 

cases. Divide the dough into six portions and roll into 

balls. Place one ball into each muffin case, cover with a 

damp cloth and leave for 20 minutes. 

Heat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan or Gas mark 4. 

Brush the tops of the panettones with the remaining 

egg whites and dust with caster sugar. Bake for 15-20 

minutes until the muffins have risen and are golden in 

colour. Leave to cool on a wire rack. 

Variation: Add some brandy to the overnight soak in 

orange juice for a little extra kick!
