Welcome...<br />
to the <strong>April</strong> issue of <strong>Seaford</strong> <strong>Scene</strong>.<br />
As I write this introduction to you<br />
mid-March, the coronavirus crisis<br />
is taking hold worldwide. It’s a<br />
very worrying time for everyone,<br />
particularly as we don’t know how the situation will<br />
unfurl over the coming weeks and months. For more<br />
details regarding the coronavirus and what you need to<br />
do, turn to page 35. Following on from this, at the time<br />
of going to print, many events listed in this issue and<br />
on the What’s On pages may be cancelled due to the<br />
pandemic, therefore please contact the organisation<br />
beforehand to check that an event is still taking place,<br />
if you are planning to attend. It’s a bumper issue this<br />
month, with all your favourites plus the results of<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> Neighbourhood Plan’s Referendum on pages<br />
4 and 74. We have news from <strong>Seaford</strong> Rambling Club<br />
on page 129 and find out how <strong>Seaford</strong> Museum will<br />
be recognising its 50th anniversary in association with<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> Contemporary Illustrators and Printmakers<br />
(SCIP) on page 26. We have health and wellbeing<br />
articles on pages 132 to 133 and why not have a go<br />
at Tai Chi or Quigong, see page 131? Finally, wishing you<br />
a very Happy Easter – be safe, think of others and<br />
stay healthy!<br />

LOCAL GREEN SPACES<br />
89% said Yes to the Neighbourhood<br />
Plan: now we need your help<br />
Protecting and enhancing our local open<br />
spaces is an important part of the Plan.<br />
Nine of the open spaces (from the 52 in the<br />
town) have been designated as Local Green<br />
Spaces, which are given special protection<br />
from development. These sites have been<br />
designated because they are considered to be<br />
‘Demonstrably special to the local community and have<br />
a particular local significance in terms of its beauty,<br />
historic significance, recreational value, tranquillity, or<br />
richness of wildlife.’<br />
Some of these spaces already have ‘Friends’ and/or<br />
local schools who give them some TLC in addition<br />
to the Council’s maintenance teams. Schools can use<br />
them as, in effect, open air classrooms so children can<br />
have a greater knowledge of, and love for, the natural<br />
environment.<br />
VOLUNTEERS<br />
NEEDED!<br />
CAN YOU HELP?<br />
Age Concern <strong>Seaford</strong> is a local self-funded<br />
independent charity based in <strong>Seaford</strong> for over 50<br />
years. We offer various services and support our<br />
elderly residents.<br />
We would like to recruit volunteers for all our<br />
charity needs and to help in our charity shop in<br />
Church Street.<br />
Do you have some free time to give us?<br />
Can you spare a few hours a week volunteering in<br />
our charity shop or one of our services?<br />
If YES then please call 01323 899434 for further<br />
information or pop in to see us at 6 Church Street.<br />
Taster sessions are available to all new volunteers<br />
with flexible hours.<br />
Our charity shop is open Mon to Sat 10–2pm.<br />
Our office is open Mon to Thurs 10–2pm.<br />
Registered Charity No. 218379<br />
WE ARE NOT PART OF AGE UK<br />
We are now aiming for<br />
each Local Green Space<br />
in the town to have a<br />
friends group to encourage<br />
greater biodiversity by planting trees (in<br />
consultation with the Tree Wardens, now known as<br />
Trees for <strong>Seaford</strong>), shrubs and wild flowers. We are<br />
giving thought to, and opening discussions with, groups<br />
who may be interested in linking the open spaces in<br />
the town to create corridors of biodiversity.<br />
Please let me know if you are interested in becoming a<br />
Friend of one of the following nine Local Green spaces:<br />
• Bishopstone Village Green<br />
• Blatchington Pond<br />
• Foster Close Open Space<br />
• Normansal Park<br />
• Princess Drive Green and old Grand Avenue<br />
Bridleway<br />
• The Crouch<br />
• The Old Brickfield and Site Adjacent to Surrey<br />
Road<br />
• The Ridings, Lexden Road<br />
• Land North of Alfriston Road<br />
There are many other green spaces in the town that<br />
are beautiful and enhance our environment. One such<br />
space is the Beach Garden on the seafront, adjacent to<br />
the Sunken Garden. This was an unattractive collection<br />
of weeds, which was replanted with attractive coastal<br />
plants. The Beach Garden was both created and<br />
maintained by volunteers.<br />
We now need more volunteers who meet for two<br />
hours on the last Thursday morning of the month.<br />
If you can help, please contact Keith Blackburn, on<br />
01323 893172 or by email keithblackburn@live.co.uk<br />

Cinema<br />
<strong>April</strong> at the Barn Theatre begins on the 1st with the<br />
opportunity to buy tickets for Hope Gap (12A) Gala<br />
Night being held on 1st May for the pre-release<br />
screening with director William Nicholson, see page<br />
36w. But before that there’s Official Secrets (15) on<br />
Friday 3rd <strong>April</strong> at 7.30pm. Starring Keira Knightley<br />
and directed by Gavin Hood, this docudrama is based<br />
on the true story of British whistleblower Katharine<br />
Gun who leaked a memo to the press about an illegal<br />
NSA spy operation designed to push the UN Security<br />
Council into sanctioning the 2003 invasion of Iraq. On<br />
Friday 10th <strong>April</strong> at 7.30pm the cinema is showing<br />
Judy (12A), starring Renée Zellweger as the legendary<br />
singer Judy Garland. Garland arrives in London in<br />
the winter of 1968 to perform a series of sold-out<br />
concerts, her career in America having fallen victim to<br />
her substance abuse. The 1973 punk film Jubilee (18)<br />
is the choice for Friday 24th <strong>April</strong>, when <strong>Seaford</strong>’s own<br />
Pamela Rooke, aka Jordan Rooney, is to be interviewed<br />
by Kate Parkinson about her biography shocker, Defying<br />
Gravity. The film sees Elizabeth II dead at the time of<br />
her jubilee and Elizabeth I roaming a shattered ’70s’<br />
London in her stead. Jordan plays ‘anti-historian’ Amyl<br />
Nitrite. The film was directed by Derek Jarman and also<br />
stars Jenny Runacre, Adam Ant and Toyah Willcox.<br />
Art<br />
From Friday 10th until Wednesday 15th <strong>April</strong> there will<br />
be an exhibition at the Crypt Gallery. Crypt5 will feature<br />
five Sussex artists, Gareth Hayward, Stefan Mucha,<br />
Bluebell Roebuck, Mark Munroe-Preston and Adele<br />
Scantlebury showcasing an exciting and diverse portfolio<br />
of contemporary art and print styles.<br />
Putting on an arts event in the town? Contact<br />
me if you would like to be in this diary, at<br />

Equity Release Specialists<br />
We are local based Equity Release<br />
specialists who are based in <strong>Seaford</strong>.<br />
We offer face to face appointments in<br />
our <strong>Seaford</strong> office or home visits.<br />
Arranging an Equity Release can seem<br />
like a daunting process, we take care<br />
with our clients and advise and help<br />
throughout the process. We appreciate<br />
there are important decisions to made,<br />
that is why we believe in taking time<br />
over each application.<br />
Many of our clients release a small initial amount under Equity Release, on average<br />
around £20,000, and also have additional funds in reserve, this means that if<br />
additional borrowing is required then the funds are usually a phone call away.<br />
A lifetime mortgage creates a debt against your home. It’s a big decision, and there<br />
are many factors to consider. That’s why you can only get a lifetime mortgage<br />
through a specialist regulated lifetime mortgage adviser.<br />
To find out more and discover if Equity Release is right for you, we advise an<br />
informal meeting so we can explain in detail how Equity Release works and the<br />
effect of roll up of interest, the roll up of interest can grow quickly and be<br />
significant over a long period, we can show you the effect over 10-15/20 years.<br />
Our typical fee for arranging an Equity Release mortgage is £695. £999.<br />

seaford rotary<br />
Rotary International celebrates<br />
its 115th anniversary<br />
Rotary started with the<br />
vision of one man – Paul<br />
Harris. The Chicago attorney<br />
formed the Rotary Club of<br />
Chicago on 23rd February<br />
1905, so professionals with<br />
diverse backgrounds could<br />
exchange ideas and form<br />
meaningful, lifelong friendships. Only 16 years after<br />
being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents.<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> Rotary club formed on 7th February 1947,<br />
over 73 years ago.<br />
Rotary members now span the globe, working to solve<br />
some of our world’s most challenging problems.<br />
Where we are*<br />
387,663 Asia<br />
337,842 USA, Canada and the Caribbean<br />
295,099 Europe, Africa and the Middle East<br />
90,422 Central and South America<br />
43,219 Great Britain and Ireland<br />
34,634 Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands<br />
* Numbers represent Rotary club members<br />
The heart of Rotary is our members, dedicated people<br />
who share a passion for community service and<br />
friendship.<br />
We have a unique position of being based within<br />
our own communities, but sharing a global outlook.<br />
Rotary’s members in over 1,700 clubs in Great Britain<br />
and Ireland are volunteering their time and talents to<br />
tackle challenges at home and abroad:<br />
• Promoting peace<br />
• Fighting disease<br />
• Providing clean water<br />
• Supporting education<br />
• Saving mothers and children<br />
• Growing local economies.<br />
As People of Action we are ready to turn our ideas<br />
and vision into lasting change, by creating opportunities,<br />
supporting those who need it most and transforming<br />
their lives. For example, our project to fight against<br />
polio began in 1979 with the aim of immunising 6<br />
million children in the Philippines. This was achieved and<br />
today, polio remains endemic in only three countries –<br />
down from 125 in 1988.<br />
Where others see problems, we seek solutions: tapping<br />
into our professional skills, expertise and knowledge<br />
to make a difference. Rotarians use their time, energy<br />
and passion to mobilise their communities to get the<br />
job done.<br />

<strong>Seaford</strong><br />
Photographic<br />
Society<br />
We started the month with an illustrated lecture by<br />
Dave McKay ARPS DPAGB BPE4* on his trips to Etosha<br />
National Park in Namibia. This was a fascinating talk with<br />
lots of photos of the local wildlife. It included several of<br />
his more artistic photos as well, some of which were on<br />
display as mounted prints.<br />
The penultimate<br />
round of the<br />
PDI league for<br />
projected images,<br />
was held on 14th<br />
February, judged<br />
by Geoff Gibbs,<br />
and there were<br />
40 entries in total. In the standard group both Simon<br />
Watkins and Simon Rigby scored 20/20s with their usual<br />
superb wildlife images. This was<br />
sufficient for them to retain their<br />
1st and 2nd places at the top of<br />
the league. New member Martin<br />
Brewer continues to do well, also<br />
scoring a 20 for his Rottingdean<br />
Windmill Sunset. Colin Hammond<br />
also did well. There was only one 20<br />
in the Advanced group – ‘Waiting<br />
for my Valentine’ by Janice Hewitt – very appropriate for<br />
the day! Steve Wares’ two 19/20 scores were sufficient<br />
for him to retain his place at the top of the Advanced<br />
league with just one round<br />
to go.<br />
were 11 entries this year.<br />
That’s 66 prints in total and<br />
we had trouble finding space<br />
to display them all! Janice<br />
Hewitt took the win with<br />
her plant photos entitled ‘A<br />
Collection of Chlorophyll’. In<br />
second place was a superb<br />
collection of owl prints by Colin Mitchell. Chris Dawson’s<br />
unusual ‘<strong>Seaford</strong> in Silhouette’ panel took third place,<br />
very different to all the others.<br />
On the same evening was<br />
a competition for projected<br />
images with the subject title<br />
‘Creative’. This was interpreted<br />
in various different ways but<br />
they were all very imaginative,<br />
many using Photoshop to<br />
combine multiple images,<br />
some very abstract and some<br />
quite surreal. The winner<br />
was Heather Roberts’ ‘Treble Clef’. Second place went<br />
to Thelma Long for ‘Tangled Mind’ and third to ‘Eye<br />
of Horus’ by Colin Mitchell, which<br />
had already got him 3rd place in the<br />
Abstract competition earlier in the year.<br />
The final meeting of the month<br />
featured a selection of videos with<br />
tips on macro, wildlife and landscape<br />
photography. There are loads of these<br />
excellent videos on YouTube. Adrian<br />
Bishop also gave a short talk on his photographic<br />
journey, including his achievement in gaining the CPAGB<br />
award for photographic merit.<br />
Our regular club meetings are held every Friday<br />
between September and the end of May at <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
Constitutional Club, Crouch Lane, <strong>Seaford</strong>, BN25 1PU.<br />
Doors open at 7pm for a 7.45pm start. We welcome<br />
new members, so if you are thinking of joining just come<br />
along one evening to see what you think. There’s lots to<br />
see on our website www.seafordps.org, including all the<br />
competition-winning photos.<br />
The following week saw<br />
a competition for a Panel<br />
of six Co-ordinated Prints,<br />
judged by Andy Smith<br />
LRPS CPAGB. The idea of a<br />
panel is that each individual<br />
image must be of good<br />
quality but the overall<br />
panel must work visually as<br />
well. A lot of time and effort goes into preparing for this<br />
particular competition and we were delighted that there<br />

Sussex Arts Collective<br />
COLLECTIONS<br />
<strong>2020</strong> TWO<br />
The Cuckmere Room, Crypt Gallery, Church<br />
Street, <strong>Seaford</strong>, Saturday 21st March until Thursday<br />
16th <strong>April</strong> <strong>2020</strong>. Open 10am – 4pm Mon – Sat<br />
(closed Wednesdays), Sundays 12 noon – 3pm. FREE<br />
ENTRY to exhibition and medieval undercroft.<br />
Undeterred by the atrocious weather at the end of<br />
February, our local supporters and patrons, as well<br />
as a good number of visitors from outside <strong>Seaford</strong>,<br />
wended their way down Church Street to the Crypt<br />
Gallery to see the Sussex Arts Collective’s new season<br />
of COLLECTIONS exhibitions. Their dedication was<br />
richly rewarded as they viewed and purchased some<br />
wonderful pieces of art and craft work from established<br />
regular exhibitors as well as new members. They were<br />
quite taken by the work of new members<br />
Chris Ford (ceramics) and Rebecca Clayton-<br />
Harding (acrylic jewellery).<br />
Henceforth, <strong>April</strong> and COLLECTIONS<br />
<strong>2020</strong> TWO (21st March to 16th <strong>April</strong>) and<br />
COLLECTIONS <strong>2020</strong> THREE (18th <strong>April</strong> to 14th<br />
May). As with all our exhibitions these two will be<br />
as equally distinct as they are impressive as we bring<br />
together practitioners from all four corners of the art<br />
and craft world ensuring that every visit will be a unique<br />
experience.<br />
In COLLECTIONS <strong>2020</strong> TWO we welcome back<br />
two of our longest standing members; Tina and Clive<br />
Bullivant. Their highly original pieces of pewter work<br />
based on Norman and Saxon design, and animals and<br />
creatures of myth and legend are perennial favourites<br />
with our visitors, and their highly accomplished career is<br />
the subject of our spotlight this month.<br />
COLLECTIONS <strong>2020</strong> TWO SPOTLIGHT<br />
Tina and Clive Bullivant<br />
Clive and Tina met whilst studying Wood, Metal,<br />
Ceramics, and Plastics at Brighton Polytechnic Faculty of<br />
Art. They ran a successful silversmithing workshop for<br />
10 years and were fortunate to feature in a number of<br />
high profile exhibitions and<br />
competitions, including the<br />
London ‘Loot’ exhibitions,<br />
European Silver Triennial, and the Topham Trophy and<br />
Cutlery of the Eighties competitions, the latter of these<br />
seeing work exhibited in the V&A and Metropolitan<br />
Museum, New York.<br />
Clive became interested in education, ultimately<br />
becoming head of faculty for Design and Technology in<br />
a successful secondary school. Always maintaining his<br />
personal craft work he became closely involved with<br />
the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, which allowed<br />
him to be involved with cutting edge developments in<br />
the use of materials and new technology. Design has<br />
always been at the heart of his interests, and he has won<br />
three prestigious awards for silversmithing design from<br />
the Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council and a further<br />
seven international product design awards in kitchenware,<br />
furniture and lighting.<br />
Tina has been successful as a<br />
watercolourist in her own right, exhibiting<br />
internationally and being elected to the Society of<br />
Women Artists. Her work has been widely collected and<br />
she has pieces in civic collections. Her own involvement<br />
in education has lead to an experimental approach to<br />
her use of materials, underpinned by her interest<br />
in colour, pattern and texture.<br />
Recently they returned to their decorative<br />
roots, working together to develop a range<br />
of hand-crafted accessories in pewter.<br />
This departure from more precious<br />
metals has made their work more<br />
accessible and experimental. Their<br />
work is characterised by a rich<br />
decorative quality to the pieces which<br />
are often inspired by nature and Clive’s interest in<br />
medieval Pilgrim badges. They enjoy the challenge of<br />
working with metal and make everything themselves,<br />
only using high-quality findings and chains for their<br />
jewellery.<br />

Easter family<br />
activities<br />
The Easter holidays aren’t far away. It’s<br />
the time of year when families start to think<br />
about what to do for the two weeks ahead. No<br />
school, often no extracurricular activities, and that<br />
means lots of time at home with family/friends/carers.<br />
So I’ve done some research for you and found some<br />
super family activities for over the Easter hols, we will<br />
definitely be taking part in some of them. Note to you,<br />
the reader, I don’t always (read that as rarely!) want<br />
to spend a vast sum of money to get my kids out<br />
and about so some of these activities are cheap and<br />
cheerful.<br />
National Trust Egg Hunts<br />
We are lucky to have numerous National Trust spots<br />
in our area. The two closest are Alfriston Clergy House<br />
and Monks House towards Lewes, both of which<br />
usually offer a ‘Cadbury’s Egg Hunt’ in their gardens and<br />
properties. Children are usually given some questions<br />
to help find the clues and those who find all the clues<br />
can win an egg at the end! The bigger National Trust<br />
places, such as Wakehurst and Sheffield Park have a<br />
full list of activities and fun Easter events on www.<br />
nationaltrust.org.uk.<br />
The Big Park, Peacehaven<br />
We love this park. It’s easily accessible from <strong>Seaford</strong> by<br />
car or bus with a family/dog-friendly café to boot. The<br />
playground is split into two, which helps with different<br />
aged kids and we usually take a football as well. If the<br />
weather is good (I really hope it is) there’s plenty of<br />
space for a picnic too!<br />
Saltdean Park and Skate Track<br />
with a Beach Walk<br />
Another of my personal favourites, again it’s easily<br />
accessible by car or bus from <strong>Seaford</strong>. The no. 12 bus<br />
stops right by the Saltdean Lido and there is free<br />
parking next to the lido. We then head down to the<br />
park and skate track. The playground is lovely and has<br />
a great little ‘road and shop track’ for the mini scooters<br />
out there; mine particularly love the pretend petrol<br />
filling station for their scooters.<br />
If the park doesn’t use up all their energy you can<br />
head to the beach using the underpass by the<br />
lido. We love to walk and scoot along the beach<br />
here, with the beautiful white cliffs above us and<br />
wonderful blue sea next to us. The cafés at<br />
both Saltdean and Rottingdean by the beach<br />
are great pit stops for those constantly hungry<br />
children (and grownups requiring coffee refills).<br />
Egg Hunt in Friston Forest/Crouch<br />
Gardens with Friends<br />
Now this was possibly one of our best activities last<br />
Easter. A group of friends and their children met at<br />
Friston, some drove and others took the bus (no. 12<br />
to Cuckmere/Exceat). We walked through the woods,<br />
stopping to build a den or swing on the rope swings<br />
dotted about. Whilst the kids were busy, we hid little<br />
eggs and Easter bits about our spot... Cue 10 little ones<br />
darting about with their Easter baskets filling them up<br />
enthusiastically. We made sure to leave no rubbish or<br />
waste but this made a wander through the woods even<br />
more exciting for the kids. We finished with a picnic on<br />
the hill in the field overlooking Cuckmere, perfect.<br />
Of course there are plenty of other things you could<br />
get up to, swimming at Newhaven or <strong>Seaford</strong> pools<br />
is always a fun way to release energy, as is a bike ride/<br />
scoot along Cuckmere to the sea, with a picnic at the<br />
end. Even on the grey nearly wet days we’ve enjoyed<br />
our Cuckmere walks and picnics!<br />
Whatever you get up to over these Easter holidays<br />
I hope you have a fantastic time and the kids enjoy<br />
their break from the norm. If you’ve got any great local<br />
places we should all be visiting, please let me know!<br />

When a handsome and talented young Polish<br />
violinist is washed ashore, the sisters take him under<br />
their wing and nurse him back to health. However,<br />

The tradition began twenty years ago with a ‘Come<br />
and Sing’, organised by the then music director, John<br />
Underhill and it has attracted singers from far and wide<br />
ever since. Since <strong>April</strong> 2000 it has been known as the<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> ‘Almost Instant’, and is a chance for singers to<br />
get together to enjoy the old favourites. Gabriel Fauré’s<br />
wonderful Requiem launched the events in 1999,<br />
and it has been a clear favourite ever since. Vivaldi’s<br />
Gloria got a look in, but Gounod’s Messe Solenelle de<br />
St Cecile took over as favourite for a while. Mozart’s<br />
Requiem has made a couple of appearances, and<br />
Stainer’s Crucifixion soon became another favourite.<br />
Friday. Tea will be provided for singers<br />
after the rehearsal.<br />
The event raises funds for the church’s<br />
chosen charity. To join us costs singers<br />
and congregation alike just £5. If you<br />
know Maunder’s work (or would like to), please come<br />
along and enjoy singing with us. If you don’t, please<br />
come along and discover this light and rather charming<br />
piece of Victoriana.<br />
Would you like your business to be advertised in our<br />
posters and programmes? Please ring Steve on 07549<br />
922783 if you would like to find out more about<br />
sponsoring our concerts. It may be just the cost of a<br />
trumpeter or violinist, but it is a great help to us, and<br />
an opportunity to link your business name to a very<br />
fine choir.<br />

This year we tackle something new; Olivet to Calvary<br />
by John Henry Maunder (1858-1920). This sacred<br />
cantata, like Stainer’s Crucifixion, with which we are<br />
so much more familiar, recalls the scenes marking the<br />
last few days of Christ’s life on earth. Part 1 begins<br />
with Jesus’ jubilant journey to Jerusalem and ends at<br />
the Mount of Olives. Part 2 begins with the Feast of<br />
the Passover, with Jesus commanding his disciples to<br />
love one another and ends with his terrible death<br />
at Calvary. Like Stainer’s Crucifixion, the cantata is<br />
interspersed with congregational hymns related to<br />
the scenes, including ‘Just as I am, without one plea’.<br />
Please join in.<br />
In keeping with the ‘Come and Sing’ and ‘Almost<br />
Instant’ theme, this is not a polished performance. It is a<br />
time for whatever it means to you. A chance to join in,<br />
listen and enjoy, or contemplate. It may be your Good<br />
Friday service, remembering some key moments in the<br />
Christian calendar. We will have a chance to rehearse<br />
together on 30th March at 7pm in <strong>Seaford</strong> Baptist<br />
Church. Don’t be shy. Come and join us. We will have<br />
another opportunity to rehearse at 4pm on Good<br />

We will guide you through the towers of<br />
typewriters to the stunning fossils of the Jurassic<br />
era, and open your eyes to the incredible patterns,<br />
shapes and textures that bring the museum to life.<br />
This workshop will encourage participants to look at the<br />
objects in <strong>Seaford</strong> Museum in a new light, using drawing<br />
to capture moments in history, before uniting them<br />
and creating a contemporary piece of artwork inspired<br />
by the designs of the past, and celebrating 50 years of<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> Museum at the Martello Tower.<br />
The museum trustees will be selecting four of their<br />
favourite designs to turn into greetings cards for sale at<br />
the museum shop. The winners will also receive a free<br />
annual pass to the museum and a large giclee print of<br />
their winning artwork.<br />
Guiding the groups of children will be<br />
professional illustrators, Josie Swan<br />
and Sally Elford, Designer Sophie<br />
Peerless and curator Alice Carter.<br />
Volunteers from <strong>Seaford</strong> Museum will<br />
be on hand to help with any historical<br />
questions too!<br />
SCIP are delighted to be working on this project,<br />
continuing the collective’s commitment to providing free<br />
creative opportunities for children in <strong>Seaford</strong> and the<br />
surrounding county thanks to the generous support of<br />
the <strong>Seaford</strong> Museum and Martello Tower. ‘The Martello<br />
is an iconic part of <strong>Seaford</strong> and we are so excited to be<br />
bringing visitors into the space to view it in a new and<br />
fresh way’ says Alice Carter, SCIP co-founder.<br />
This forms just one of the many events happening at the<br />
Martello Tower in <strong>2020</strong>, as <strong>Seaford</strong> Museum celebrates<br />
its 50th anniversary. This particular project forms part<br />
of the museum’s new Education Programme which<br />
aims to develop a closer relationship with the younger<br />
generation in <strong>Seaford</strong>. Liz Hunter, the new education<br />
programmer for the museum says, ‘this is a fabulous<br />
opportunity to collaborate with artistic professionals to<br />
bring the museum alive for <strong>Seaford</strong>’s young people’.<br />
‘See The Past, Design The Future’ will be running later<br />
on this year. Tickets are FREE but must be booked in<br />
advance via www.wearescip.co.uk. Available for ages<br />

SEAFORD SCOUTS<br />
AND GUIDES<br />
The annual St George’s Day Scouts Parade will take<br />
place in Newhaven Fort on Sunday 26th <strong>April</strong>, 2.30pm.<br />
Scouting and Guiding are still strong in <strong>Seaford</strong> after<br />
more than 100 years since they were founded. Scouting<br />
commenced in 1907 after a successful camp of boys<br />
from mixed backgrounds on Brownsea Island, run by<br />
Robert Baden-Powell (later Lord). His army and travel<br />
experiences showed him that all the major religions<br />
believed in one Supreme Being (one God). His vision of<br />
Scouting was that if a boy could promise to do his duty<br />
to his faith, honour his country, help other people and<br />
follow a personal law of care, he could be a Scout.<br />
His idea was rapidly taken up by young people, including<br />
girls (Victorian/Edwardian shivers!). He solved this<br />
dilemma by asking his wife, Olave, to lead the girls as<br />
Guides.<br />
The first <strong>Seaford</strong> Scouts & Guides met in shared<br />
premises in Brooklyn Road in the early 1900s. They later<br />
shared rented land in Chichester Road, now Scouts<br />
District HQ. Scouts accepted girls in the 1980s, whilst I<br />
was District Comissioner (though not wholeheartedly<br />
locally!) and it has been successful. Guides have<br />
maintained their female programme.<br />
As new groups formed in the many private schools, a<br />
new number was allocated viz., 2nd <strong>Seaford</strong> (Newlands<br />
School) ending up with the 16th <strong>Seaford</strong> (St Luke’s<br />
Church). Only the 6th <strong>Seaford</strong>, meeting in the Salts, and<br />
the 16th now exist, plus an Explorer Group (teenage<br />
Scouts). All are open groups. Guiding has groups in<br />
various parts of <strong>Seaford</strong>.<br />
Both organisations, at a local level, are entirely run and<br />
administered. by volunteers. At world level there are<br />
millions of us and we all meet in equality, lowering our<br />
defences (shields) and shaking each other with the left<br />
hand (if only the world followed the example).<br />
Young boys and girls are still anxious to join but, like<br />
other organisations, we lack trained leaders. Volunteer<br />
potential leaders or helpers, subject to scrutiny, are very<br />
welcome. All enquiries: Scouts – email: ben.hedges@<br />
me.com, Guides – chrisandjimburgess@gmail.com, or tel:<br />

TOP TIPS – no. 1<br />
If you are painting the skirting boards<br />
with the carpet in place…<br />
… Rub down carefully and hoover up the dust.<br />
Tape the carpet edges with 40mm masking tape,<br />
overlapping the skirting board by about 10mm.<br />
Using a flexible plastic edge – old membership<br />
cards are great for this – tuck the tape between<br />
the carpet edge and skirting board and you can<br />
now paint safely. Remove the tape after a day or<br />
so but before the paint has had time to fully<br />
harden or you will tear the paint as you do so<br />

Summer at<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong>’s cinema<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> Community Cinema has a brilliant programme<br />
planned between now and August, starting with a<br />
chance to see local woman Pamela Rooke aka Jordan<br />
Rooney in punk anarchist film Jubilee (18). See it at<br />
the Barn Theatre on Friday 24th <strong>April</strong> at 7.30pm when<br />
Jordan will also be talking to Kate Parkinson about her<br />
biography, Defying Gravity. In the 1973 Derek Jarmandirected<br />
film the Malcolm McLaren protegée plays ‘antihistorian’<br />
Amyl Nitrite alongside Jenny Runacre, Adam<br />
Ant, Little Nell and Toyah Willcox.<br />
The following Friday, 1st May, the cinema is making<br />
a Gala Night of the pre-release screening of Hope<br />
Gap (12A) when director and screenwriter William<br />
Nicholson will be talking about the film, made in <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
and surrounding area nearly two years ago, starring Bill<br />
Nighy and Annette Bening. Along with a bevy of special<br />
guests, you will be given the red carpet treatment<br />
along with a drink and canapés. Yes, this should be an<br />
occasion to remember, so get out the formal glad rags.<br />
The evening will cost members £10 and non-members<br />
£12.50. A second screening is likely to take place later in<br />
the year to accommodate those not able to buy tickets<br />
for May’s event.<br />
The next special event takes place on Sunday 3rd May<br />
at 6.30pm when, to coincide with the Changez d’Art<br />
exhibition of work by artists from Normandy, France, at<br />
the Crypt Gallery, there will be a screening of Cézanne<br />
et Moi (15). This explores the relationship between<br />
novelist Emile Zola and the post-Impressionist artist.<br />
The Crypt exhibition runs from Friday 1st May to<br />
Thursday 7th May.<br />
The latest and critically acclaimed interpretation of Little<br />
Women (U) will be shown on Saturday 9th May at<br />

YOUTH FORUM<br />
We’ve been very active in recent months and<br />
would like to thank all those who supported our<br />
fundraising efforts.<br />
Monies raised at our Christmas Magic stall and at our<br />
Cocktail/Mocktail evening have enabled us to send<br />
£500 to Centrepoint supporting homeless young<br />
people. Our community venture last year saw us top<br />
£2,000 for bike racks, a pump, and a repair station on<br />
the beachfront. These can be found by Frankie’s Café<br />
and on the town side of the Martello Tower.<br />
Tree Project<br />
For <strong>2020</strong> our primary focus will be on raising<br />
awareness of environmental issues and climate change,<br />
and we hope to embark on an ambitious tree planting<br />
scheme with the planting to take place in the Autumn.<br />
These are early days in the planning process and<br />
we are taking advice from a range of experts and<br />
interested parties in order not to make mistakes, but<br />
our hope is that we can offer to plant in individual<br />
gardens, care homes and schools. We will need to fund<br />
raise both for promotion/advertising and for the trees.<br />

SEAHAVEN HARD<br />
OF HEARING CLUB<br />
Ian Gledhill was the speaker<br />
at our March meeting. His talk<br />
was ‘Glamorous Nights: Musical<br />
Theatre from the Victorian times<br />
to Oklahoma! in the 1950s’ Ian<br />
showed slides, told the history<br />
of musical theatre and played<br />
some songs of the day.<br />
In the Victorian era Gilbert & Sullivan were<br />
the stars of the day. Their first operetta was The<br />
Mikado, which ran for over 700 performances.<br />
The Edwardian period came with musical comedy – a<br />
play with music. The Gaiety Theatre, London, showed<br />
The Arcadians, which was very popular. During the<br />
First World War people enjoyed going to the theatre<br />
when they had time to spare. No doubt two hours<br />
of music and comedy took their minds off the terrible<br />
things happening at that time. His Majesty’s Theatre<br />

showed Chu Chin Chow in 1916, and this show ran<br />
for over 2,000 performances. Also showing at that time<br />
was The Maid of the Mountains.<br />
In the 1920s, musical operetta arrived from the USA.<br />
The Student Prince, Rose Marie and The<br />
Desert Song all had long runs in the London<br />
Theatres.<br />
Noel Coward wrote the revue Bitter Sweet in<br />
1935. One of the most famous shows in the<br />
1940s was Me and My Girl, with the famous<br />
song, Lambeth Walk, which ran for over 1,600<br />
performances. Lambeth Walk was played and<br />
sung along to by the members. Ivor Novello<br />
then came along with We’ll Gather Lilacs and My<br />
Dearest Dear.<br />
This type of musical then died, although they are still<br />
performed sometimes today, as the USA introduced<br />
Oklahoma!, a completely different type of musical<br />
which changed musical theatre forever. Ian was<br />
thanked for the talk, tea and biscuits were served and<br />
the raffle drawn.<br />
A copy of the Newsletter was given to all members,<br />
together with a list of the May outings. On 1st May<br />
there will be a trip to Sheffield Park, and on 8th May a<br />
trip to Berwick Church has been arranged, where we<br />
will be given a talk on the current restoration work<br />
to the wall paintings, and tea and cake. Names and<br />
money must be given to Wendy at the next meeting<br />
on Friday 3rd <strong>April</strong> at 2.15p.m. at St James’ House,<br />

Neighbourhood<br />
Watch Roundup<br />
You Keep on<br />
Knocking but You<br />
Can’t Come In<br />
Neighbours will recall a<br />
concerted campaign towards the middle of last year,<br />
to curb door knockers from a particularly persistent<br />
home improvement company. NHW decided to test<br />
the legislation and the enforceability of our No Cold<br />
Calling Zone (NCCZ) and filed a mass complaint with<br />
over 100 written statements from variously affected<br />
Neighbours, to Trading Standards.<br />
We wish that we could report that the outcome was<br />
a resoundingly positive one. Alas, it is more of a damp<br />
squib. We filed the complaint in the proper way, via<br />
Citizens Advice Bureau, in August and this was then<br />
escalated to Trading Standards at ESCC. ESCC then<br />
referred the matter to the Trading Standards Office<br />
in the jurisdiction of the company’s group head office<br />
in Norfolk. This took a stellar two months to achieve.<br />
NHW have followed up every month and finally had a<br />
reply in February and an outcome to the complaint as<br />
follows. (There are wins, but they are a little vague on<br />
initial inspection.)<br />
‘I have been informed (they) Norfolk TS referred the<br />
complaint straight on to their contact at [the home<br />
improvement company], who arranged a visit to the<br />
Sussex head office to discuss the complaints with the<br />
branches there.<br />
‘The contact at [the company] has said they completely<br />
understand the importance of stickered doors and<br />
the actions carried out by [the company] are not<br />
acceptable. They were going to highlight the issue<br />
within the company and remind all staff that where<br />
an area is a NCCZ they can knock in these areas but<br />
will reiterate that they need to be extra sensitive and<br />
if challenged move on. If they can avoid a NCCZ that<br />
would be the preference.’<br />
Trading Standards then went on to add, ‘As you<br />
are aware the idea behind the zones is about local<br />
residents or communities having the confidence to<br />
say ‘NO’ to uninvited salespeople, or to warn rogue<br />
traders and cold callers that they are being watched.<br />
The zones have no legal status and it would not be<br />
illegal for traders to call at homes that did not display<br />
a door sticker. Trading Standards would be unable to<br />
take legal action if [the company’s] sales representatives<br />
were in these areas but could still advise the company.’<br />
In closing we are advised, ‘In regard to enforceable<br />
action, we keep all complaints on record. If we receive<br />
further complaints where [the company] have knocked<br />
on homes displaying the yellow sticker, we can then<br />
take the next step according to our policies and<br />
procedures.’<br />
So, where does this leave us as Neighbours regarding<br />
No Cold Calling? Well, we had to dig a little deeper<br />
and in doing so realised that the reply was actually<br />
a confirmation of the enforceability of the No Cold<br />
Calling Zone, albeit a little confusing. In short, there<br />
are two facets to enforcing No Cold Calling and it is<br />
important to understand what they are.<br />
The No Cold Calling Zone Itself<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> and Bishopstone is a designated No Cold<br />
Calling Zone. According to Trading Standards this<br />
means that while cold callers, salespeople and so<br />
on are not banned from cold calling, they are made<br />
aware that they are not overly welcome and are being<br />
watched. So far so good.<br />
They can knock on doors, but only those that are<br />
devoid of a yellow Trading Standards No Cold Calling<br />
sticker. Now it starts to make sense.<br />
There is no legal status to a No Cold Calling Zone, and<br />
the zone is a deterrent rather than an outright ban.<br />
The Official Trading Standards Yellow<br />
Door Sticker<br />
Cold Callers may NOT knock on a door displaying the<br />
Yellow Sticker. If they do, you have the right to move<br />
them on. If they persist, you have the right to call the<br />
police. The Yellow Sticker is the only enforceable part of<br />
the No Cold Calling Zone.<br />
If however, as was the case of the unwanted home<br />
improvement knockers, a company or individual has<br />
been warned by Trading Standards and persists in<br />
knocking on doors displaying the Yellow Sticker, Trading<br />
46 Please mention <strong>Seaford</strong> <strong>Scene</strong> when contacting advertisers
Standards will then implement<br />
enforcement measures according<br />
to their policies and procedures.<br />
This is the win!<br />
The short solution is to display a<br />
Yellow Sticker if you don’t want<br />
cold callers. No sticker means you<br />
are fair game. There is a supply of<br />
these at the NHW post box in<br />
the Police Station lobby and you are welcome to help<br />
yourself. You can also send a SASE to S&BNHW, 37<br />
Church Street, <strong>Seaford</strong> BN25 1HG, and we will drop<br />
one in the post to you along with some other NHW<br />
goodies.<br />
Religious groups, politicians, charities and local<br />
community groups are exempt from the guidelines<br />
of the Zone itself but should be very mindful of the<br />
Yellow Door Sticker and NHW will write to groups<br />
who persist in ignoring the Yellow Sticker on behalf<br />
of the Neighbours should this become necessary.<br />
For obvious reasons, one would not take enforceable<br />
action on a church or our local politicians, but a polite<br />
letter should suffice. We will keep our eye on social<br />
media accordingly, and if you wish to escalate any issues<br />
to us, please email members@sandbnhw.co.uk.<br />
Please Save The Date –<br />
Great Neighbours Spring Expo<br />
Our Spring Safety Expo is almost upon us and the<br />
date is set for 20th May at <strong>Seaford</strong> Baptist Church Hall,<br />
with our AGM kicking things off at 6pm. This will be<br />
followed by presentations and displays from local law<br />
enforcement and public safety organisations, security<br />
and safety service providers, various community groups<br />
and charities and of course refreshments will be<br />
served, which includes the very good biscuits. All are<br />
welcome and admission is free. So are the biscuits and<br />
refreshments, so we look forward to welcoming you.<br />
(To have a display table at the event, please email<br />
publicity@sandbnhw.co.uk.)<br />
Membership Drive –<br />
<strong>2020</strong> & Beyond<br />
Our renewal season is now behind us and all members,<br />
old and new alike, will by now have had an email or a<br />
letter from NHW confirming subs status. Remembering<br />
that subs and donations are totally voluntary, it is<br />
important to note that the benefits of membership of<br />
the NHW are only realised when you actually register<br />
as a member. Benefits include a rather hefty discount off<br />
home insurance (up to 10% from some providers) and<br />
better rates of insurance on your vehicles. You can join<br />
or renew online at www.sandbnhw.org/join and it takes<br />
all of 5 minutes.<br />
Finally, I have to apologise personally for being<br />
so hideously slack in coordinating the Street<br />
Representatives. On bended knee, I am begging for one<br />
of our already identified Reps to step forward and take<br />
this task off me – I am just not coping! There’s no pay<br />
but there’s lots of rewards, like a committee position and<br />
most excellent baking at our monthly meeting. Please<br />
drop me an email at publicity@sandbnhw.org if you can<br />
spare a few hours a month to get this off the ground.<br />
In closing, Happy Spring everybody. Take good care<br />
of each other and keep being the glue that holds our<br />
community together; the Great Neighbours that make<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> and Bishopstone the safest town in East Sussex.<br />

Trees for <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
For the love<br />
of trees<br />
Do you enjoy getting outdoors? Want to help look<br />
after our natural environment? Then why not join Trees<br />
for <strong>Seaford</strong>, a local community group who plant and<br />
care for trees in the town.<br />
Building on the re-launch and the call for ’20 for 20’,<br />
inviting more people to get involved in helping to run<br />
the group, we have now started the monthly tree care<br />
sessions. They take place from 10am to midday on the<br />
first Saturday of most months through the spring and<br />
summer.<br />
It’s a fun, relaxed morning with like minded people and<br />
you don’t need any experience, but it is a great way to<br />
learn more about trees. You would be checking on the<br />
trees that have recently been planted: replacing stakes/<br />
ties, weed mats, and sometimes light pruning.<br />
We’d also like to hear from local businesses who are<br />
interested in getting staff out for a volunteering day. We<br />
can organise mid-week tree care sessions which are a<br />
great team bonding experience out of the office!<br />
For a full list of dates and locations take a look at<br />
our website: treesforseaford.wordpress.com; get<br />
in touch via Facebook @treesforseaford; or email<br />
treesforseaford@gmail.com.<br />

INNER WHEEL CLUB<br />
Inner Wheel is ‘women in action’, working<br />
together to make a difference and improving<br />
lives locally and internationally. We work on<br />
projects that are truly life changing.<br />
Members of the<br />
Inner Wheel Club<br />
of <strong>Seaford</strong> have<br />
contributed to the<br />
international work<br />
of Inner Wheel<br />
by holding a lunch<br />
at St Leonard’s<br />
Church Hall on<br />
Saturday 29th February. The sale of cottage pie followed<br />
by a great selection of home-made desserts and a raffle<br />
enabled a significant amount of money to be raised for<br />
the ‘Butterfly Tree Project – nurturing those in need’ to<br />
purchase mosquito nets for a Zambian village.<br />
Now in its eleventh<br />
year, the project has<br />
made a significant<br />
difference to life<br />
in rural villages –<br />
advancing education<br />
and improving health,<br />
water and community<br />
facilities, as well as advancing malaria prevention.<br />
According to UNICEF, the UN children’s agency, malaria<br />
claims the lives of more than 2,500 children each day.<br />
Hundreds of mosquito nets have been distributed by<br />
the Butterfly Tree Project. Members of the Inner Wheel<br />
Club of <strong>Seaford</strong> are pleased to be able to support such<br />
a worthwhile malaria prevention project.<br />
Members enjoyed a wide range of activities this Spring<br />
including a coffee morning and our monthly evening<br />
meeting. We also appreciated the opportunity to meet<br />
with other members at the District Rally in Ashington.<br />
The Annual Inner Wheel Conference will be held from<br />
27th – 29th <strong>April</strong> <strong>2020</strong> in Belfast.<br />

Are you struggling to<br />
lock your UPVC door?<br />
Try this simple 3 point test to see if your<br />
door needs adjusting before it breaks...<br />
With one hand...<br />
1. Push the door closed<br />
2. Lift the handle and let go<br />
3. Turn the key<br />
If you can’t do the above easily and have to hold the handle or force the handle to turn the<br />
key, then you need to get your door adjusted before it breaks. The weight of the door on a<br />
badly adjusted locking mechanism will eventually break, usually in the locked position!<br />

Probus Club<br />
of <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
At our most recent meeting we had a talk from Dave<br />
Winsor, of Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex. Dave<br />
explained that the organisation was a Charitable Trust,<br />
solely funded by donations; they receive no funding from<br />
Central Government or National Health Services.<br />
AAKSS currently operates out of Redhill and Rochester.<br />
They have two helicopters and undertake some 2,500<br />
missions a year. The main purpose is to bring specialist<br />
medical services to the scene of the incident, and not<br />
necessarily to evacuate the patient. It was important to<br />
bear in mind that a paramedic was not authorised to<br />
administer any form of anaesthetic: this can only be done<br />
by a doctor with two years’ consultancy experience, and<br />
specialising in anaesthetics and emergency medicine.<br />
The crew of the helicopter consists of two pilots, both<br />
qualified to full commercial licence levels, one doctor<br />
and one paramedic with at least eight years’ experience.<br />
The service had recently taken delivery of two AW169<br />
helicopters. These are larger than the previous vehicles,<br />
with wider doors, allowing a stretcher to slide in sideways,<br />
rather than having to be manoeuvred through<br />
the door. The stretcher then lies ‘fore-and-aft’ in the<br />
centre of the helicopter, thus allowing the medical crew<br />
to be either side of the patient. The aircraft also has a<br />
higher payload, thus allowing two people to accompany<br />
the patient. The service also has a road-going Rapid<br />
Response Vehicle, carrying a doctor and paramedic, to<br />
deliver emergency services if the helicopter cannot fly<br />
for any reason.<br />
Every aircraft carries four units of Blood Type O negative,<br />
as this can be administered regardless of the patient’s<br />
own blood group. Dave explained that it costs £38,000 a<br />
day to keep the service operating, and one tankful of fuel<br />
costing £1,200, will allow an average of eight missions.<br />
We thanked Dave for giving us a fascinating insight to<br />
this essential service, further details from www.aakss.org.<br />
Our club meets on the second Tuesday of every<br />
month, at <strong>Seaford</strong> Golf Course, 111 Firle Road, at<br />
12 noon for 12.45pm. If you are interested in joining<br />

<strong>Seaford</strong> Little Theatre<br />
There Goes<br />
the Bride<br />
In 1975, when Ray Cooney and John Chapman<br />
wrote There Goes the Bride, the bride’s mum and<br />
dad were still expected to plan, stage and pay for<br />
the whole wedding shebang while their opposite<br />
numbers prepared to be impressed, or not, and<br />
the hapless couple didn’t have much of a say in the<br />
proceedings.<br />
As it starts, with<br />
only forgotten<br />
flowers and<br />
granddad’s lost<br />
socks to worry about, the<br />
bride’s mother, played by<br />
the accomplished Jenny<br />
Humphries, was reasonably<br />
calm. That is until bride’s<br />
father and harassed advertising<br />
executive Jon Terry banged his head and woke up in<br />
the middle of his new campaign, falling hook, line and<br />
fringing for his own creation, Andrea Lowe’s 1920s’<br />
flapper girl.<br />
Of course Terry is the only<br />
one to see or hear her. Are<br />
you with me so far? Good,<br />
because this farce gets sillier<br />
and sillier, its plot being as<br />
dated by today’s mores as the<br />
idea of a parentally controlled<br />
wedding. So director Phil<br />
Armstrong had quite a bit to<br />
do to bring credibility to this scenario as friends<br />
and family try to lead Dad back to reality before the<br />
in-laws abandon the marriage.<br />
So where’s the bride in all this? Well, Clare Forshaw,<br />
in the custom of the time, had little to do being only<br />
required to look beautiful and<br />
turn up on time on the arm<br />
of her father, but she did a<br />
great job of making a nod to<br />
modernity by admitting she<br />
had slept with her fiancé,<br />
then slowly disintegrating as<br />
Terry was kissed by Lowe<br />
only to become euphoric and incognisant of the real<br />
world and his daughter’s<br />
wedding.<br />
The success of this farce<br />
was in large part down<br />
to Terry who is a great<br />
comic actor with a<br />
happy way with timing,<br />
allowing the audience to<br />
laugh but not hanging on to his lines. However, he was<br />
admirably supported by the rest of the eight-strong<br />
cast. I particularly enjoyed Josie Hobbs as the waspish<br />
bride’s mother’s mother and family matriarch, and<br />
felt that her cut-glass<br />
diction should have<br />
been matched at least<br />
by her daughter.<br />
As her husband,<br />
Roland Boorman did<br />
a great job, displaying<br />
a ready gift for comedy<br />
and extracting helpless guffaws from the audience<br />
as he flashed neon-blue socks with his morning suit.<br />
Lowe, fortunately a very physical actor, had a hard<br />
character to play, for the most part being confined to<br />
using her body to wiggle and<br />
jiggle suggestively. Dennis Picott<br />
counter-balanced all the foolery<br />
as the hapless family friend<br />
dispatched to put tape over<br />
the flood of disasters and Alan<br />
Clifford was a fearful Australian<br />
father-in-law to be, with a<br />
bonzer accent.<br />
Armstrong gave the cast their heads to interpret their<br />
characters and this risk paid off, due not only to their<br />
skill but to his tight stage direction. But no wonder the<br />
bride and groom eloped to the register office.<br />

<strong>Seaford</strong> Neighbourhood Plan<br />
The result is in<br />
and the Town<br />
voted YES!<br />
Following almost four years of dedicated work by a<br />
team of hard-working local residents the referendum in<br />
February supported all of their efforts.<br />
The result of the referendum is as follows: Yes – 5,566<br />
(89%), No – 673 (11%), Rejected – 23. Turnout –<br />
31.8% (national average for larger towns is about 20%)<br />
So, what does this mean for <strong>Seaford</strong>?<br />
Immediately the amount of Community Infrastructure<br />
Levy (CIL) funds coming from the Newlands site to the<br />
Town should increase from approximately £150,000 to<br />
£250,000. All other new qualifying developments will<br />
now pay 25% CIL to the town instead of 15%.<br />

The Great Outdoors has a Big<br />
Impact on Your Property’s Value<br />
At Newberry Tully, we love it<br />
when the clocks go forward.<br />
The days are longer, the evenings<br />
lighter and people are starting<br />
to venture outside again.<br />
Put simply, most people enjoy being outside when<br />
the better weather arrives, especially after all the<br />
rain we had this winter. And the good folk of <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
are spoilt for choices when it comes to getting out<br />
and about.<br />
Spring into Action<br />
When spring enters centre stage, people tend to<br />
feel happier and serious buyers are out and about in<br />
droves. However, some people who prepare their<br />
home for sale don’t consider making their garden<br />
look as attractive as possible.<br />
We have many prospective buyers giving us their<br />
property wish list. A nice garden is very often on<br />
those lists. In some cases, people are even more<br />
specific and state their new home MUST have a<br />
south or west-facing garden as they soak up the<br />
most hours of sunshine.<br />
A good-looking garden can be a huge plus point<br />
for buyers, especially those with young children or<br />
planning a family, or looking to spend their retirement<br />
enjoying it.<br />
Stephen Newberry<br />
Simple Gardening Tips<br />
You don’t have to be Alan Titchmarsh or Monty<br />
Don to make it more appealing. At the very least<br />
you should make sure it is tidy, clutter-free and<br />
colourful if possible.<br />
A trip to the garden centre should provide a lot<br />
of ideas about how you can breathe new life into<br />
your garden.<br />
You can also check out the <strong>Seaford</strong> and District<br />
Horticultural Society and <strong>Seaford</strong> Community<br />
Garden articles in <strong>Seaford</strong> <strong>Scene</strong> – full of advice<br />
and tips.<br />
And if you love the idea of a lovely garden<br />
but don’t have the skill, will or energy to do it<br />
yourself, <strong>Seaford</strong> is blessed with several great<br />
gardening companies – many of which are featured<br />
in this magazine.<br />

even exploiting<br />
the current<br />

to trick you into<br />

to pose as a genuine organisation, including banks,<br />

they are dealing with an issue resulting from the<br />
collapse of a company.<br />

SEAFORD KURLERS<br />
What awful weather we have had so here’s hoping for<br />
a decent Spring. Hands up who gave up something for<br />
Lent. I wonder how many give up anything for forty days<br />
or even know the origin of the custom?<br />
Lent started on 26th February and ends on 9th <strong>April</strong><br />
just in time for Easter! This year Easter Sunday is on the<br />
12th <strong>April</strong>. So for those who gave up eating chocolate it’s<br />
a fortunate date!<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> Kurlers have again had new members join. They<br />
are enjoying the sport and already have made new<br />
friends.<br />
Hopefully, we are now going to get some warmer<br />
weather, and we will be looking for day trips out. We<br />
always use Lynne’s travel. Their outings are very well<br />
organised and their service is excellent.<br />
Why not try the sport out and come along? Your<br />
first visit is free of charge. After that the annual<br />
membership costs are £5 and weekly fees are £2.50.<br />

ORANGE-TIP<br />
BUTTERFLY<br />
The future’s bright<br />
At this time of year I’m often asked: ‘What’s that<br />
butterfly with the orange tips on the end of its wings<br />
called?’ ‘Well,’ I reply, ‘its scientific name is Anthocharis<br />
meaning flower grace; probably because this beautiful<br />
butterfly lends a certain grace to the flowers it<br />
frequents. In the 18th century it was The Lady of the<br />
Woods – a seductive title well deserved by the bestlooking<br />
butterfly of the spring. The Germans celebrate<br />
its beauty in the name Aurotafalter; the sunrise butterfly.<br />
The French honour it with the poetic title L’Auroré – the<br />
rising sun.’ The British simply call it the Orange-tip –<br />
because it has orange tips on the end of its wings.<br />
Whoever gave this exquisite insect such an<br />
unimaginative name should be ashamed. It’s more than<br />
just a pair of orange tips. Forget your bluebells and<br />
skylarks, the emergence of the Orange-tip is nature’s<br />
confirmation that spring has officially sprung.<br />
Only the male Orange-tip has those road cone orange<br />
wing-tips that visually scream ‘Look at me! Look at me!’<br />
as he cruises the countryside’s hedges and edges. You’d<br />
think this flamboyant display would land him on the<br />
menu for any passing bird – but he has an unsavoury<br />
secret. He tastes absolutely disgusting. His orange tips<br />
make birds recoil when they recall last eating something<br />
that colour. To predators he is a flying pot of lime pickle;<br />
if you’ve eaten it once, you’ll never eat it again.<br />
The grey-tipped females are more secretive. Once<br />
mated they search the hedgerows for their food plants;<br />
cuckooflower and garlic mustard. They tap-dance on<br />
the plants and identify them with taste buds in their<br />
feet. Once their six soles are satisfied they lay a single,<br />
tiny, orange, rugby-ball-shaped egg. The egg’s shell emits<br />
a pheromone which deters other females from laying<br />
here because the cute little caterpillar, which hatches out<br />
a week or so later, is a cannibal.<br />
This caterpillar gets to work eating the flower’s seed<br />
pods, and it eats<br />
so many that it<br />
starts to look like<br />
one (my mum once<br />
warned me a similar<br />
phenomenon would happen with<br />
me and Monster Munch crisps).<br />
Disguised as its diet, it merrily<br />
munches throughout May and<br />
the plant toxins it ingests will help<br />
to flavour the bitter butterfly it will become. In July, the<br />
caterpillar constructs a curious chrysalis, a bizarre bit of<br />
angular architecture attached to a stem by a single string.<br />
Inside this post-modern pupa the caterpillar melts into<br />
a cellular soup. And then the natural world’s greatest<br />
regeneration takes place. This biological broth builds a<br />
butterfly and the <strong>April</strong> sunshine encourages the Orangetip<br />
to emerge; that simple flash of orange signalling that<br />
an even greater regeneration has finally taken place.<br />
Winter has turned to spring.<br />

Bell Ringing,<br />
and the Art of<br />
Remembrance<br />
Two years ago, my partner saw a piece about St<br />
Leonard’s bell tower looking to recruit ringers who<br />
would join in ringing on the 100th Remembrance<br />
Day. She pointed it out to me, and I joined eight or<br />
nine others in volunteering to join the <strong>Seaford</strong> band.<br />
The ambition was to ring in both St Leonard’s and<br />
Laughton towers on Remembrance Sunday, which<br />
I duly achieved. I was one of over 3,000 ‘Ringing<br />
Remembers’ recruits who became ringers, but<br />
recruiting continues.<br />
I now ring as often as I can, ringing on Tuesday practices<br />
and for Sunday services, but also joining practice<br />
sessions in other churches like Alfriston. It is a difficult<br />
skill to master, but ringers are a welcoming group and<br />
tolerate my bungling and slowly growing competence.<br />
I am hooked on ringing, but it is also a family thing,<br />
partly because my uncle rang for over 40 years, but<br />
also because I come from a service background where<br />
respect for the bravery of those who fought and died<br />
to keep Britain free was very much a part of family life.<br />
I rang in Laughton in memory of my partner Brett’s<br />
ancestor who died in France as well as for my own late<br />
Air Force family.<br />
Hopefully I will be there<br />
then pulling straight,<br />
catching the sally properly,<br />
maybe even ringing ‘Plain<br />
Hunt’ successfully. I have<br />
taken photos of the ringing<br />
chamber in St Leonard’s<br />
and other churches I have<br />
rung in and will one day<br />
introduce them into my<br />
artwork. The patterns we<br />
ring to are an aural version of the patterns I create in<br />
my art. The ringing craft is a celebration, a call to prayer<br />
and a craft to enjoy.<br />
We will ring on VE Day as a reminder of those, many<br />
of whom left from the dock in Newhaven, who gave<br />
their lives so that we could continue to live our lives<br />
free of European tyranny. I hope you enjoy the sound<br />
of the bells and will think of us up that narrow spiral<br />
staircase who follow an ancient tradition, a craft that is<br />
quintessentially English, as we ring<br />
Patrick Goff<br />
Photo: Spiral staircase in St Leonard’s<br />
Church leading to the bell tower.<br />
My art celebrates life through colour and forms<br />
related to my environment. Whilst the paintings play<br />
with colour, my photography looks for patterns in<br />
life. Remembrance became entangled with this in a<br />
triptych of works that were made in response to a<br />
visit to Verdun. The Battle of Verdun lasted 300 days<br />
and caused over 960 casualties in the longest most<br />
ferocious battle in Western Europe. I know our own<br />
losses on the Somme figure in the school curriculum,<br />
but many do not know of Verdun. I was delighted<br />
when Eastbourne College, after coming to see the<br />
triptych in my <strong>Seaford</strong> studio, took it to hang in the<br />
history department of the school this January. It will<br />
be a permanent reminder to English boys of the losses<br />
suffered by our French allies.<br />
The Tower is now gearing up to ring in Remembrance<br />
again on the 75th Anniversary of VE Day in May.<br />

by schools as playing fields, and finally for<br />
housing.<br />

LOCAL SUPPORT GROUPS FOR THOSE<br />
WITH DEMENTIA AND THEIR CARERS<br />
Here’s a round up of some local dementia support groups and<br />
resources in <strong>Seaford</strong> and the surrounding area.<br />
Neil Joyce of Clifden House Dementia<br />
Care Centre is a keen advocate for<br />
ensuring that dementia sufferers and<br />
their carers continue to be active and<br />
supported within the community.<br />
Neil said: “Nobody should face<br />
dementia without others to support<br />
them. Carers of those with dementia<br />
need support too, so we’ve compiled a<br />
quick list of some local groups and<br />
opportunities that might help.”<br />
1. Making Memories <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
This support group is run by ‘Care for the Carers’, an<br />
independent charity supporting unpaid carers in East<br />
Sussex. Unpaid carers of people living with dementia<br />
are invited to attend either with or without the person<br />
they care for. The monthly group takes place at St<br />
James Trust Community Centre, 11 Blatchington Road,<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> on the second Thursday of each month. Tel:<br />
01323 738390, Email: info@cftc.org.uk or text 07860<br />
077300 for further details.<br />
2. Dementia Carers Group<br />
This informal friendly group of people that care for<br />
loved ones suffering from dementia offers support and<br />
understanding of the journey you are on. Meetings<br />
are held on the second Tuesday of the month at<br />
Eversley Court Function Room, Dane Road, <strong>Seaford</strong>.<br />
Please contact Joanna for more information. Tel: 07703<br />
318452 or Email: dementia.seaford@gmail.com.<br />
3. Dementia Support Service<br />
The Dementia Support Service is provided by the<br />
Carers Breaks and Engagement Team at East Sussex<br />
County Council. The Service helps to explore support<br />
and wellbeing opportunities and works with other<br />
agencies to coordinate any care and support people<br />
living with dementia or their carer may need. The<br />
94 Please mention <strong>Seaford</strong> <strong>Scene</strong> when contacting advertisers<br />
helpful team seeks to develop a<br />
relationship with people living with<br />
dementia, and their loved ones,<br />
to begin careful and considerate<br />
discussions on planning for the future.<br />

4. The Eastbourne<br />

This is a neutral space for people to come and find<br />
out more about dementia. You will receive direct,<br />
qualified, experienced professional help without having<br />
to make an appointment. The café is open on the<br />
second Monday of the month at Shades Restaurant,<br />
The Beacon, Eastbourne and the last Friday of the<br />
month at Caffe Nero, Terminus Road, Eastbourne.<br />

Hopefully by the time this magazine arrives<br />
through your door Spring will have sprung!<br />
It has been a mild if stormy winter and the daffodils<br />
are dancing away in the breeze before the next storm<br />
blows in!<br />
The children’s ‘Weird and Wonderful’ half term<br />
workshop was much enjoyed with all sorts of ideas<br />
being suggested as to what the purpose of various<br />
of our items served. It was fascinating to hear all the<br />
suggestions – imaginations at full tilt! Great fun.<br />
Alan Kingshott’s illustrated talk about his life as a<br />
Beefeater was fascinating. He finished his long career<br />
as Chief Yeoman Warder. His living quarters at the top<br />
of one of the towers had the most magnificent views<br />
although there were 48 steps up to it so it was not a<br />
good idea to forget things! It was interesting to hear<br />
how there is a real community actually living in the<br />
Tower complex – they even have their own pub!<br />
Unfortunately due to the coronavirus outbreak, the<br />
events for adults and children this month and over<br />
the Easter period have been cancelled. This includes<br />
the talk by Jill Bush on Friday 17th <strong>April</strong> and also<br />
the children’s workshops in association with <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
Contemporary Illustrators & Printmakers (SCIP).<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> Contemporary Illustrators & Printmakers are<br />
planning to offer the exciting workshops to youngsters<br />
at the museum later on this year. Booking is going to<br />
be essential as SCIP events are always very popular…<br />
Those who visited South Barn last summer or did the<br />
lantern workshop at Christmas know how good they<br />
are. For more information and to book early visit the<br />
SCIP website: www.wearescip.co.uk.<br />
We look forward to welcoming you to the Museum,<br />
whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth.<br />

Skylark, Grove Road, Eastbourne<br />
A column in a Saturday newspaper sends a couple to a<br />
restaurant on a blind date. Afterwards they are each asked<br />
about the good, or otherwise, manners of the other.<br />
Well, soon-to-be-appalled dear reader, mine were<br />
reasonable through the delicately flavoured parsnip<br />
soup served with a generously thick slice of<br />
delicious sour dough bread from Poppyseed<br />
Bakery. Then polite composure slipped at<br />
the sight of my fish pie. I couldn’t wait. Fran,<br />
brandishing her camera, requested, very<br />
courteously, that I wait while she took a shot.<br />
My manners only worsened, however, as I<br />
tucked in so heartily to probably the best fish<br />
pie I have ever eaten – and I’ve sampled quite<br />
a few – quite forgetting to offer her a tasty mouthful<br />
of the crispy topped, fish-crammed delight. Shamefully,<br />
this omission came after I had happily sampled her own<br />
first course of crab cakes and agreed with her that they<br />
were tastily crabby beside their pretty salad of mixed<br />
leaves, pea shoots, micro herbs and red amarynth.<br />
Erina Howard-Graham, who coowns<br />
the restaurant with partner<br />
and chef Craig Fletcher, told us that<br />
she tries to source her food locally,<br />
products including meat, fish, bread,<br />
cheeses, teas and coffees, beers<br />
and wines. Erina told me: ‘Everything about Skylark is<br />
supporting local businesses and promoting our local<br />
area. It’s something we are very passionate about.’<br />
The sweet-toothed among you will be wanting to know<br />
about pudding. Well, that is generally something that I’m<br />
happy to forgo, preferring to concentrate on the first<br />
two courses. And on this occasion bear in mind too that,<br />
in your interests, Fran and I had forced ourselves to try<br />
a sandwich for £6.50, containing smoked garlic hummus,<br />
roasted red pepper and baby spinach. Served between<br />
naughty slices of white bread, it was fab.<br />
To follow, Fran enjoyed her burger containing beef of<br />
very good quality, served with a pile of salad and French<br />
fries that were such fingers of salty sin that greedy me<br />
simply had to share them with her.<br />
We were eating off the lunchtime menu so a glass of<br />
white wine seemed appropriate. My Sossego Alentejo<br />
Branco from Portugal was mellow and went well<br />
with the fish pie. Fran described her Cachapoal Ardes<br />
Sauvignon Blanc from Chile as crisp, fruity and light,<br />
happily complimenting her menu choices.<br />
So dessert? Sorry, we couldn’t manage it… but after<br />
an indecently short interval found room to tuck into a<br />
medley of unctuous creamy and chocolaty delights that<br />
Erina had boxed up for us.<br />
The reassuringly compact menu, which changes<br />
seasonally, comprises four or five choices of big and<br />
small plates from £5.50 for soup of the day to £14<br />
for venison sausages from Dean’s Butchers with mash,<br />
steamed greens, red wine gravy and onion jam.<br />
I shall be responding to the sound of Skylark again. A<br />
sharing board of antipasti for £12 is calling me for a<br />
return visit to sample the Spring menu. Fancy it Fran?<br />

A view from the<br />
Potting Shed<br />
‘Oh, to be in England now that <strong>April</strong>’s there.’ How<br />
lucky we are to be here, with a view from the potting<br />
shed full of tulips, blossom and bursting buds. Will it<br />
be warm and sunny, or showers of hail? Whatever the<br />
weather, it’s time to garden.<br />
<strong>April</strong> is a colourful month, and from mid-month a<br />
stunning carpet of violet-blue will start to spread in our<br />
ancient woodlands. Hyacinthoides non-scripta, our native<br />
bluebell, is a delicate beauty surrounded by folklore<br />
tales and fairy magic. To successfully grow your own<br />
bluebells you will need to supply their preferred habitat<br />
– well drained soil in dappled shade under deciduous<br />
trees and shrubs. Adding leaf mould or garden compost<br />
to the soil will be beneficial and plants must be left to<br />
die down naturally after flowering. Bluebells are best<br />
bought in spring ‘in the green,’ and you should confirm<br />
with the supplier that plants are sourced and grown in<br />
the UK. Bluebells are legally protected, you mustn’t take<br />
them from the wild. And don’t pick them, or you might<br />
be led astray by the fairies!<br />
topic of the month<br />
COASTAL HEDGING<br />
If your winter garden showed a lack of screening<br />
then you might be considering evergreen<br />
hedging. Evergreens benefit from spring planting<br />
in coastal locations, giving them time to establish<br />
before those winter gales. Your choice will be<br />
determined by many factors, not least the plant’s<br />
ability to cope with strong, salty winds. Escallonia<br />
rubra is a good choice for informal hedging in<br />
coastal areas. This vigorous plant can reach 4m<br />
and its red flowers attract bees in the summer.<br />
Another seaside toughie is Elaeagnus x ebbingei.<br />
The RHS website has a useful ‘Plants for coastal<br />
areas,’ list, which includes Griselinia littoralis in the<br />
top five for coastal planting. This tall shrub with<br />
glossy apple-green leaves makes a good hedge or<br />
background for other plants.<br />

JOBS TO DO IN APRIL<br />
3 Sow perpetual spinach outside<br />
directly into prepared ground. This<br />
easy plant will crop from mid-July<br />
well into autumn.<br />
3 Weed borders and put on two to<br />
three inches of mulch to suppress<br />
weeds, improve soil and lock in<br />
moisture.<br />
3 Deadhead large spring bulbs e.g.<br />
tulips, hyacinths and daffodils, but<br />
let the leaves die back naturally.<br />
3 Plant sunflower seeds into pots or<br />
directly into prepared ground. Other<br />
easy annuals include Nasturtium,<br />
Nigella and Calendula.<br />
MEMBERS’ NOTICE BOARD<br />
There are two interesting dates for your diary<br />
this month. Sunday 26th <strong>April</strong> is the second<br />
workshop at The Patchwork Cat in Newhaven<br />
at 2pm with Daryl Cogavin, ‘Caring for Bonsai.’<br />
A booking form is on page 38 of your <strong>2020</strong><br />
Programme. On Thursday 30th <strong>April</strong>, 7pm at<br />
St Leonards Church Hall, the guest speaker<br />
for our member’s social evening is Michael<br />
Marriott of David Austin Roses, who will talk<br />
about Roses in the Garden. If you love roses<br />
you can’t miss this expert. There will also be a<br />
plant sale on that evening and a competition,<br />
Three Tulips in a Vase.<br />

Storm Dennis blew into our<br />
garden at the Crouch and<br />
tried to help himself to our<br />
classroom doors, but thankfully<br />
only managed to take one of<br />
them off its hinges although<br />
he did break the glass. So yah<br />
boo sucks to Dennis because<br />
our multi-talented team of<br />
helpers, led by Brian and Val, mustered to<br />
repair the damage in no time. Allison recalled:<br />
‘When James and I came on the following<br />
Wednesday we thought we had been<br />
vandalised! Plastic cloches were scattered,<br />
but they survived.’<br />
With everything put to rights again it was swiftly on to<br />
the planned business in hand. Allison again: ‘We started<br />
sowing veg in the polytunnel. Bill has started off the<br />
broad beans, and leeks have been sown in there.’<br />
James and a small team of<br />
volunteers also set to, giving the<br />
wildlife pond its annual spring<br />
clear-out, and Abdul and Bill<br />
worked on preparing the raised<br />
beds for seedlings in due course.<br />
And while all this was going<br />
on, the Co-op’s Community<br />
Coordinator popped in to<br />
see how we include the<br />
community of our title<br />
into our garden. He<br />
explained that the Coop<br />
likes to choose three<br />
local community charities<br />
to support, and is also<br />
keen to get local charities<br />
networking with each<br />
other, which is where we<br />
come in. He also said that the Co-op encourages its<br />
staff to help out in the community. So to that end we<br />
will be sitting around the classroom table to discuss<br />
how their staff could be involved.<br />
We were delighted to welcome back returnee Em,<br />
who volunteers at a community<br />
garden in Ireland and was in<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> visiting her mum. She<br />
was put to work<br />
repairing the<br />
structure of the<br />
wheelchairfriendly<br />
raised<br />
bed, along with other volunteers led by<br />
the so practical Brian and Val.<br />
Last month you may recall that<br />
we were both amazed and a trifle<br />
disconcerted to find several species<br />
of plant flowering months too early,<br />
like abutilon and chaenomeles. Last<br />
month, however, also saw more normal<br />
flowering from our daffodils, polyanthus,<br />
hellebores, hyacinths, irises and lots more,<br />
and by the time you read this there will<br />
be an even bigger showing of spring delights, so please<br />
join us any Wednesday morning and we’ll show around.<br />

SEAFORD NATURAL<br />
HISTORY SOCIETY<br />
Winter is over and it’s time to get out and about again.<br />
We start our <strong>2020</strong> season of outdoor meetings on<br />
7th <strong>April</strong> with a walk led by Bob Self to see what birds<br />
we can see in the Cuckmere Valley. And on 21st <strong>April</strong><br />
we are returning to beautiful Knowlands Farm near<br />
Barcombe to explore woodland wildlife and brush up<br />
on tree identification.<br />

We look forward to welcoming members, visitors and<br />
prospective new members to our outdoor meetings.<br />
They are usually walks lasting about two and a half<br />
hours and generally take place on Tuesdays. They cost<br />
£3 which is refunded if you decide to join the society.<br />
(Children accompanied by an adult are very welcome<br />
but unfortunately we are unable to welcome dogs on<br />
our walks.)<br />
For people who can’t make weekday walks, we are<br />
planning some evening and weekend events later in the<br />
year. Look out for a walk in the Old Nursery, Alfriston<br />
Road, in June, a bat evening in late July, an evening<br />
exploring the Brickfields in August and a moth evening<br />
one weekend in September. For more information<br />
about these events and our activities generally, please<br />

Spring Migrants on <strong>Seaford</strong> Head and<br />
the Lower Cuckmere by Bob Self<br />
As the destructive Storm Dennis lashes the area, it is<br />
difficult to believe that within a week or so the first<br />
summer migrant birds will be appearing on <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
Head. Typically the first to arrive is the Northern<br />
Wheatear which often appears around 8th March<br />
on the short cliff-top grass between Splash Point and<br />
Hope Bottom – although like almost all our summer<br />
visitors the arrival dates are gradually getting earlier.<br />
Among the other visitors first recorded before the<br />
end of March are the Sand Martin, Swallow and House<br />
Martin – for many the real harbingers of summer. Much<br />
less conspicuous and in very small numbers is the<br />

Garganey – a handsome duck more often seen on sea<br />
watches from Splash Point, but one or two usually turn<br />
up briefly somewhere in the lower Cuckmere as they<br />
pass through on their way to their breeding grounds.<br />
Much the same is true of Osprey.<br />

might see (and hear), the very distinctive song of the<br />

Common Whitethroat which will already be nestbuilding<br />
and making their very distinctive song flights to<br />
mark their territory.<br />

which normally does not appear until the last week of<br />

binoculars in the hope of a good migration. Phone: 07530 324296<br />

NEWHAVEN, PEACEHAVEN<br />
& SEAFORD LIONS CLUB<br />
Lewes District Lottery<br />
The weekly online lottery launched by Lewes District<br />
Council is already making a big difference to our<br />
fundraising efforts locally. Tickets cost just £1, with 60p<br />
going to good causes in our area, and by visiting the<br />
NP&S website and signing up to pay just one pound a<br />
week, you could be in with a chance to win the jackpot<br />
of £25,000.<br />
Carers Café<br />
One of the local good causes we are supporting this<br />
year is the new Carers Café, which has opened in the<br />
Meridian Centre in Peacehaven. This project aims to<br />
provide support for almost 2,000 unpaid carers in<br />
the area, to help reduce social isolation and promote<br />
emotional health and wellbeing. A carer is someone<br />
of any age who provides unpaid support to family or<br />
friends who could not otherwise manage without this<br />
help. The café hopes to bring together carers and those<br />
they care for in a social setting, helping them make new<br />
friends and offering advice and support, and the funds<br />
we are donating to the Association of Carers will help<br />
to provide this.<br />

<strong>Seaford</strong> Half Marathon<br />
Having got over the worst of this winter’s storms<br />
and gales, we are busy preparing for our first major<br />
fundraising event of the year, the <strong>Seaford</strong> Half<br />
Marathon. NP&S Lions organises this event each year<br />
with the help of <strong>Seaford</strong> Striders. The half marathon<br />
will be taking place on Sunday 10th May, starting from<br />
Marine Parade in <strong>Seaford</strong> and following a circular route<br />
around the town and up onto the Downs, where there<br />
are spectacular views over the Weald. We then make<br />
our way through the picturesque village of Alfriston,<br />
through the Cuckmere Valley and back along the coast.<br />
The route, which is mostly off road, will be marked, and<br />
there will be marshalls and water points along the way.<br />
If you would like to register for this event, full details<br />
are available on our NP&S website, and if you are not<br />
a runner, please come along anyway and support those<br />
who are taking part and cheer them along the route.<br />
Paradise Park Book Sale<br />
NP&S Lions are continuing to hold our regular book<br />
sales at Paradise Park, the first of which was last month,<br />
and was very successful. A big thank you to everyone<br />
who came along and bought books. Our next sale<br />
will be on Sunday 14th June – please come along and<br />
support this great fundraising event – an excellent<br />
opportunity to pick up some interesting reading matter<br />
for your summer holidays!<br />

seaford U3A News<br />
A few weeks ago <strong>Seaford</strong> U3A hosted a special coffee<br />
morning for new members when they could meet each<br />
other, group leaders and the committee. The majority<br />
of the more than 80 new members who have joined<br />
since February 2019 took up the invitation. There was<br />
a general buzz of conversation as they met each other<br />
and, it is to be hoped, began to make new friends. There<br />
were generous quantities of refreshments so that at the<br />
end the organisers were pleading with the members to<br />
take some home!<br />
This underlines the importance of the U3A policy<br />
of providing a social gathering as well as a learning<br />
environment. Many of the members are new to <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
and need an entry to what goes on so that they can<br />
begin to feel at home.<br />
The monthly coffee morning is a good entry point.<br />
This month it will be on Wednesday 15th <strong>April</strong> at the<br />
Constitutional Club, Crouch Lane, <strong>Seaford</strong>, from 10am to<br />
12 noon when members and non-members alike will all<br />
be welcome. The cost is a very reasonable £2 for coffee<br />
Clock<br />
Restoration<br />
Service<br />
or tea and light refreshments. There is no need to book<br />
in advance – just come along and if you are new ask to<br />
speak to a committee member who can introduce you<br />
to some of the members.<br />
One of the members-only events is the Tea Party which<br />
takes place most months. At the beginning of March<br />
members were enlightened by a talk by Michael Smith<br />
on ‘Ernest Shackleton – the Man and the Myth’ and in<br />
<strong>April</strong> members will be able to listen to Rosemary Leech<br />
speaking about ‘The Life and Times of Benito Mussolini’.<br />
It is hoped that the outing for members in May will go<br />
ahead despite worries over the coronavirus scare. This<br />
will be to the National Gallery’s exhibition of paintings<br />
by Artemisia Gentileschi, an Italian Baroque female artist<br />
who defied convention and personal tragedy to become<br />
successful at a time in the 17th century when women<br />
were not encouraged to paint strong pictures. She has<br />
been ‘rediscovered’ over the last few years and this is the<br />
first major exhibition of her work in the UK.<br />
Art is a popular subject with U3A members who can<br />
experience it through joining groups of a few likeminded<br />
members. There are groups which paint in<br />
watercolour and in acrylic and other groups for art<br />
appreciation.<br />

Martello Rotary<br />
How we helped the<br />
Brownies<br />
This month we’ve been having fun working with the<br />
4th Blatchington Brownies to achieve their Brownies<br />
Charity Badge. After the devastation of Storm Dorian<br />
in the USA, they decided to select ShelterBox as their<br />
focused charity in achieving their charity badge.<br />
When we heard what the Brownies wanted to achieve,<br />
we arranged to attend one of their meetings and gave<br />
them a presentation on Storm Dorian, and showed<br />
them some of the online videos of how ShelterBoxes<br />
are used in this type of situation. This was backed up<br />
by a practical, hands-on session with our ShelterBox<br />
demonstration kit, so that the Brownies could feel<br />
and understand how the ShelterBoxes are made up<br />
and work.<br />
Then came the hard part for them. To raise funds,<br />
they all had to raise some money individually by doing<br />
jobs and work at home, and for friends and family.<br />

As a Brownie troop they organised a Games & Gifts<br />
Evening, which was attended by parents, friends and<br />
family. At this we erected the ShelterBox tent inside the<br />
Baptist Church Hall (with some difficulty because of<br />
the ceiling height) for all to see, along with a showcase<br />
of everything we had inside. The evening was a great<br />
success; the Lady Mayor of <strong>Seaford</strong> also attended to<br />
add her support to the fund raising.<br />
Overall, they raised an excellent £365 as the 4th<br />
Blatchington Brownies. This, with a top-up donation<br />
from Martello Rotary, will enable them to purchase<br />
their very own ShelterBox in the name of the<br />
Brownies.<br />
Horse Racing in Comfort<br />
All the fun of the races, without the cold weather!<br />
Working with the Bonfire Society, we held a joint<br />
Race Night at the St Thomas Moore Church Hall. Five<br />
sponsors for five races provided a very interactive<br />
evening. With the use of six wooden horses and large<br />
dice we auctioned each horse and took bets on each<br />
race. This was accompanied by delicious fish and chips<br />
from Osbourne’s, washed down by a few drinks. Watch<br />
out for more events like this coming your way, all good<br />
fun and all profits split between the Bonfire Society<br />
and ourselves for local charities.<br />
And finally...<br />
We collected four of the six murals to go onto the<br />
new planters in <strong>Seaford</strong> Station. These murals, prepared<br />
by local schools, show various scenes of <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
through the ages and are intended to brighten up the<br />
Station. Keep an eye on the planters as you go through<br />
the station as the murals will shortly be in place, and<br />
with spring on the horizon the plants themselves<br />
should give us a splash of colour.<br />
Don’t forget, if you are interested in having fun whilst<br />
helping your local community, why not come along and<br />
have a meal with us one night, meet existing Rotarians<br />
and see if you would like to join? Just call or email<br />

Old School Surgery, <strong>Seaford</strong>, incorporating Alfriston & East Dean Surgeries<br />
Patient Participation Group<br />
Type 2 Diabetes Awareness<br />
Our group works with the GP practice to help ensure<br />
patients’ views are understood and, where at all<br />
possible, reflected in the way services are delivered.<br />
We are currently trying to raise awareness of Type 2<br />
Diabetes and help patients understand the symptoms,<br />
risk factors and what can be done to reduce the<br />
likelihood of developing the disease.<br />
The amount of sugar in the blood is controlled by<br />
a hormone called insulin, which is produced by the<br />
pancreas (an organ behind the stomach).When food<br />
is digested and enters your bloodstream, insulin moves<br />
glucose out of the blood and into cells, where it’s<br />
broken down to produce energy. However, if you have<br />
diabetes, your body is unable to break down glucose<br />
into energy. This is because there’s either not enough<br />
insulin to move the glucose, or the insulin produced<br />
does not work properly.<br />
You’re also more at risk if you’ve ever had high blood<br />
pressure or you’re overweight (especially if you’re large<br />
around the middle).<br />
Over a long period of time, high sugar levels in your<br />
blood can seriously damage your heart, your eyes, your<br />
feet and your kidneys.<br />
You can reduce your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes<br />
by: • eating well • moving more • losing weight, if<br />
you’re overweight.<br />
As symptoms are not always obvious it is important to<br />
understand your risk factor. You can discover this with<br />
the ‘Know Your Risk’ tool on the Diabetes UK website,<br />
or you may be eligible for a free NHS Health Check.<br />
The website goes into more detail and suggests how<br />
you can reduce your risk factors.<br />
www.diabetes.org.uk/preventing-type-2-diabetes<br />
Just be aware – keep yourself safe and well! Have a<br />
healthy and very happy <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
About 90% of people with diabetes have Type 2<br />
diabetes. It can come on slowly, usually over the age of<br />
40. The signs may not be obvious, or there may be no<br />
signs at all, therefore it might be up to 10 years before<br />
you find out you have it.<br />
Around three in five cases of Type 2 diabetes can be<br />
prevented or delayed. Some of the more common<br />
symptoms may include:<br />
• feeling very thirsty;<br />
• peeing more frequently than usual, particularly at<br />
night;<br />
• feeling very tired;<br />
• weight loss and loss of muscle bulk;<br />
• itching around the penis or vagina, or frequent<br />
episodes of thrush;<br />
• cuts or wounds that heal slowly;<br />
• blurred vision.<br />
Your risk increases with age. Type 2 diabetes is two to<br />
four times more likely in people of South Asian descent<br />
and African-Caribbean or Black African descent. You’re<br />
two to six times more likely to get Type 2 diabetes if<br />
you have a parent, brother, sister or child with diabetes.<br />

<strong>Seaford</strong><br />
Rambling<br />
Club<br />
Free ‘Taster’ walks on Friday 10th <strong>April</strong>,<br />
Saturday 25th <strong>April</strong> and Saturday 16th May.<br />
Our Rambling Club walks two or three times a week<br />
through the beautiful Sussex countryside, sometimes<br />
locally, sometimes further afield. It’s a great way to get<br />
fresh air, switch off mentally, and to meet people.<br />
If you are already a rambler then please give us a try<br />
by joining in on any walk in our published programme,<br />
which is available from our Membership Secretary on<br />
01323 894370.<br />
If you haven’t done it before, or are a bit nervous<br />
about whether you are up to it, we are offering three<br />
gentle ‘taster’ walks in <strong>April</strong> and May when you can try<br />
us out.<br />
The taster walks will be between 4 and 5 miles, with<br />
no challenging hills. The walks will be led by Keith<br />
Ford, 01323 873209. Please ring Keith and he will give<br />
you the time and place to meet, and will answer any<br />
questions you may have. To help you, some of the most<br />
usual things we get asked are:<br />
I’m worried I may not be fit enough<br />
We would expect to be walking for about 2 to 2.5<br />
hours. So if you are comfortable doing one of the<br />
hour-long health walks in and around <strong>Seaford</strong> this<br />
should not be too challenging. No one is ever, ever,<br />
left walking on their own at the back! On these taster<br />
walks we will have extra leaders in the unlikely event<br />
anyone needed to turn back.<br />
Where do you walk?<br />
The taster walk will involve a short car journey from<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> (lifts available) and then a walk on footpaths<br />
through woods and fields, and will have a few stiles.<br />
Club walks can be local, or further afield such as<br />
Chanctonbury Ring, the Ashdown Forest or maybe the<br />
impressive Balcombe Viaduct.<br />
What kit do I need?<br />
For the taster walk, no special kit, I’m even happy to<br />
take you in jeans and trainers. (No flip flops though.)<br />
Please bring water, a snack, and if the sun is out, a<br />
hat and suncream. The taster walks won’t run if it<br />
rains. However, if you decide to go on to join the<br />
club, we expect you to get hold of boots or shoes<br />
with a tread, trousers that don’t retain rain, and a<br />
waterproof top.<br />
Is it all couples?<br />
No. In fact most our club members walk as solos; when<br />
couples do walk together we find they enjoy mixing.<br />
What about dogs?<br />
No dogs on the taster walks. On our club walks,<br />
a dog may be allowed at the discretion of the<br />
leader. However our aim is for people to enjoy the<br />
countryside, and walks are not designed to exercise<br />
dogs as they are often through fields with sheep or<br />
cattle, near rivers and across stiles.<br />
What will it cost?<br />
The taster walks are free. If you decide to join the club,<br />
membership is £8 a year.<br />
Eating and drinking<br />
We always carry water, a snack on short walks, and a<br />
sandwich lunch if longer. Sometimes we might have tea<br />
and cake at the end of a walk, if it goes near a tea shop,<br />
but that is always shown in the programme. We don’t<br />
have pub stops..<br />
Is there a huge train of people?<br />
I have been leading for about 4 years now, and the<br />
typical number on a walk of mine would be between 6<br />
to 10. The most I have ever had has been 15.<br />
Do I need a map?<br />
No. All walks have an experienced leader; a volunteer<br />
club member who plans the walk, guides members<br />
around the route and ensures their safety.<br />

Tai Chi/Qigong<br />
The Trouble and The Fascination<br />
Tai chi and qigong (pronounced chee gong) can be<br />
regarded as health practices that have a spiritual<br />
bearing, and there seems to be a consistent trickle of<br />
people that are interested enough to come and see<br />
what it’s all about. Naturally, some people click with it<br />
straight away and never look back, while others know<br />
it’s not for them and never come back. So for anyone<br />
else that’s interested, I’d like to shed some light on<br />
it, and offer classes here in <strong>Seaford</strong> for anyone that<br />
remains interested after knowing a little more.<br />
Originating in China, qigong is the art/science of<br />
cultivating chi (life-force energy), which stems back over<br />
3,000 years. Then, about 300 - 400 years ago, aspects<br />
of this were infused into a martial art and tai chi chuan<br />
emerged. Martial artists required good fighting skills,<br />
body and mind in optimum condition, and the ability<br />
to heal well. With monastic-like practice, tai chi brought<br />
the deep conditioning they sought. Over the centuries<br />
however, it’s been practised far more commonly just<br />
as a gentle exercise that develops and maintains good<br />
structure and function of the body.<br />
There are many different styles and it’s not hugely<br />
important which one you do, that’ll be guided more by<br />
what’s available around you. Taught correctly, all genuine<br />
styles provide a method for shedding tension and<br />
feeling more alive.<br />
But the trouble with tai chi and qigong is they’re not as<br />
easy as they look. Difficulties include finding the time<br />
and inclination to practise most days (a prerequisite for<br />
accessing the benefits), wondering if you’re practising<br />
correctly, and finding out your body and mind might<br />
be more restricted than you’d hoped. Also it can be<br />
difficult to see how standing still, moving only slowly<br />
and not getting the heart racing, can do anything<br />
significant. Basically, the obstructions are in the body<br />
and the mind, and for anyone prepared to offer some<br />
perseverance, tai chi and qigong provide an effective<br />
method to unify and enliven both.<br />
If your initial ember of interest isn’t extinguished by<br />
coming away from your first class with only one basic<br />
thing learnt, then you’re over the first hurdle. Then if<br />
you can knuckle down and come out the other side<br />
of a couple of months of reasonable practice (20-30<br />
minutes a day, 4 days out of 7), you could realistically<br />
expect to notice some positive, deep setting change in<br />
how you feel and/or move. The most common early<br />
benefits accessed are better balance, improved agility<br />
and sense of general vitality.<br />
For many people that’s enough, and due to the gentle<br />
nature of these practices, this can be taken well into<br />
old age, mitigating aches and pains along the way. It also<br />
becomes progressively clearer how relaxed, connected<br />
movement can bring an unexpected sense of relaxed<br />
power and health.<br />
Then there’s the spectrum of dedication and<br />
subsequent access to increasing benefits, right up to<br />
high-end masters who practise many hours a day<br />
for years on end to achieve what these arts have to<br />
offer at that level of dedication – profoundly deep<br />
awareness, health and fascination.<br />
Tai chi and qigong are suitable for all ages and body<br />
types and requires nothing except a bit of space to<br />
practise and a willingness to do so.<br />

What is Emmett Muscle Therapy?<br />
Emmett is a relatively new treatment developed<br />
by Ross Emmett in Australia. It relieves pain and<br />
discomfort, and can improve restricted mobility<br />
and poor circulation. Emmett is an excellent<br />
therapy for the treatment of conditions such<br />
as arthritis, sciatic pain, old injuries, fibromyalgia<br />
and for patients awaiting knee replacements.<br />
It is a light-touch, non-manipulative method of<br />
releasing excessive muscle tension. It is not a<br />
cure, but a way of managing chronic or acute pain.<br />
My name is Hannah Staples and I am a qualified<br />
Emmett practitioner living in <strong>Seaford</strong>. I treat<br />
patients in their own home, where they may be<br />
standing, seated or lying down as appropriate for<br />
the area being treated. I bring my own treatment<br />
table. Treatment is given either directly through<br />
the skin, or is equally effective through light<br />
clothing, whichever is preferable for the patient.<br />
An introductory treatment is £20, in which I<br />
will treat the problem area. Any referred pain<br />
may need to be traced to its source. Follow-up<br />
treatments cost £40. The price is for one session<br />
of treatment and is not dependent on time unless<br />
multiple areas are being dealt with.<br />
I first became aware of Emmett treatments in<br />
relation to horses and my original qualification<br />
was to treat horses and dogs, which I still do.<br />
Additional information can be found on the<br />
website www.emmett-uk.co.uk where I am listed<br />
as a practitioner under the BN25 postcode.<br />

The importance of<br />
Pelvic floor health<br />
Prolapse is surprisingly common, affecting about 50%<br />
of women. Some women experience prolapse after<br />
childbirth, which can get worse with subsequent births,<br />
while others experience prolapse later on in life, due to<br />
having a weak pelvic floor.<br />
Prolapse can cause women to experience<br />
symptoms like:<br />
l Lower back pain: this is because the uterus<br />
attaches to the lower back via ligaments and if the<br />
uterus is sitting lower there is more pull up onto the<br />
lower back from within.<br />
l Lower abdominal pain<br />
l Pelvic pressure or feelings of heaviness<br />
or dragging sensations<br />
l Sensation of a bulge vaginally<br />
l Leaking from the bladder: this is because the<br />
bladder and urethra are sitting lower than they<br />
should be.<br />
l Incomplete emptying of the bladder: this is<br />
because the bladder sits lower than it should, a little<br />
pocket of the bladder can form and store urine.<br />
Physiotherapy can cure 80% of cases and can be as<br />
simple as doing your pelvic floor exercises.<br />
Pelvic Floor Exercises & the Hypopressive method<br />
Women are often told to do their pelvic floor<br />
exercises without anyone actually explaining how to do<br />
them properly. It is very important to understand the<br />
importance of breath and the role it plays. Every time<br />
you inhale, your internal abdominal pressure increases<br />
and when you exhale it decreases. This constantly<br />
changing pressure directly affects your core 4 muscle<br />
group, which includes the pelvic floor.<br />
Hypopressives actually build core strength through<br />
reducing pressure rather than increasing it as many<br />
traditional abdominal exercises do. Hypopressives are<br />
used for the treatment and prevention of incontinence,<br />
prolapse, hernias and haemorrhoids. Woman who have<br />
been told that surgery is their only option have found<br />
success in treating their prolapse through introducing<br />

<strong>Seaford</strong> Striders<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> Beach<br />
Parkrun – the<br />
BIG Clear Up<br />
As many <strong>Seaford</strong> residents will know, every Saturday<br />
morning at 9am the <strong>Seaford</strong> Beach Parkrun takes<br />
place. Setting off from the <strong>Seaford</strong> & Newhaven<br />
Sailing Club the runners, joggers and walkers do<br />
their thing for 2.5k before turning round and<br />
coming back to the finish. They can then join the<br />
team of volunteers in the warm and friendly environs<br />
of the Galley Café, where the new owners are making<br />
us extremely welcome.<br />
Unfortunately however, thanks to the stormy autumn<br />
and winter, the shingle has stopped these proceedings<br />
for no less than three separate periods. What the<br />
residents of <strong>Seaford</strong> may not know is that on every<br />
single occasion, the promenade has been cleared<br />
thanks to the volunteers of the Parkrun; who have<br />
repeatedly turned out in great numbers to shovel and<br />
sweep the shingle back onto the beach.<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong> Beach Parkrun was initially only possible<br />
thanks to the kindness and support of local groups<br />
and businesses. They are: The Focus Group, <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
Rotary, <strong>Seaford</strong> Striders Running Club, Moyleman<br />
Half Marathon, Fonetastic, Brighton Accommodation<br />
Agency, Newberry Tully Estate Agents, Flowers & Son,<br />
Gingerfit Personal Trainers, Kaizen PR Ltd and <strong>Seaford</strong><br />
Town Council.<br />
Don’t be late!<br />
The ever-popular St Peter’s Plant Sale, an annual<br />
boon for eager gardeners, will be held on Saturday<br />
9th May, from 10am – 12 noon. A wide variety of<br />
annual and perennial plants, all lovingly grown in<br />
<strong>Seaford</strong>, will be on sale. Because of its reputation<br />
for quality plants, the advice is to arrive early.<br />
Refreshments available throughout the sale, which<br />
is at St Peter’s Church in Belgrave Road, <strong>Seaford</strong>.<br />
Once up and<br />
running however,<br />
it has been thanks<br />
to the volunteers<br />
who have<br />
offered countless<br />
hours free to<br />
keep it operational. They<br />
have marshalled and cheered<br />
everyone who has taken<br />
part, and saved the town and<br />
residents of <strong>Seaford</strong> money by<br />
turning out in such large numbers<br />
to clear away the shingle, so that<br />
the promenade is once again a<br />
safe environment in which to walk, run or cycle.<br />
The Parkrun is completely free and accessible<br />
to everyone, of all abilities and it is totally noncompetitive.<br />
Although it is called a Parkrun, running<br />
is not compulsory, so, whether you want to walk, run<br />
or do a combination of the two, you are welcome<br />
to take part. It is also open to people in wheelchairs,<br />
to those pushing a buggy or people with a dog on a<br />
lead. Children under the age of 11 can also take part –<br />
providing they run with an adult, but those above that<br />
age can take part on their own.<br />
The Parkrun is coordinated entirely by volunteers and<br />
is motivated by the social side of running. It is free to<br />
enter, all you need to do is register once with Parkrun<br />
https://www.Parkrun.org.uk/register/ and you will<br />
receive your own personal barcode.<br />
If you are unsure about taking part in the Parkrun, why<br />
not come along and volunteer? Just get in touch with<br />
the team https://www.Parkrun.org.uk/seafordbeach/<br />
We couldn’t hold this event without people coming<br />
forward and offering their assistance, and we all stop<br />
off for a cup of tea or coffee after the event in the café.<br />
Parkruns are a brilliant way to start your Saturday – if<br />
you volunteer then you start by having done your<br />
good deed for the day and if you take part then you<br />
are set up mentally for the day. No one cares whether<br />
you are running or walking, you are all part of the<br />
Parkrun family and we cheer everyone home.<br />
