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

Their Selsey Festival production will be on Mon, Aug 15 and Tues, Aug 16, twice daily with shows at 2pm and 7.30pm at The Academy, School Lane, Selsey (tickets from Highhouse Insurance, High Street, Selsey). Sue Graves is directing, and, as part of a big family involvement, Becki Townsend is delighted to serve as production and stage manager. Together they will all be hoping to build on the success of last year’s Grease.
“Sue started the company in about 2004, I think, and she started it primarily because there was nothing in Selsey really for a teenaged group,” Becki says. She started doing pantos using some adults and some children, just really to give them the chance to see what it was like to be on stage and also to work on the technical side. For this year, we decided on Fame. Half of our cast are 18 or over. We wanted something modernish and something that was good for their age. Fame absolutely fits the bill. Even though it is from the 1980s, you find that because it is in a secondary school, all the issues are still so relevant – reading disorders, eating disorders, racism, sex, drugs, everything…. And they are all dealt with in a real way. They are not just glossed over. And also, it is a very musical musical, if you see what I mean. There is an awful lot of music in there from classical to rap and rock. And there is an element of humour in there. You don’t want people not to have a good time! There is one song that will have the audience in absolute hysterics! There is also a song called Hard Work, and it is hard work. It is a full-on amateur show. They have worked incredibly hard. It is a two-hour show and there is probably an hour and a half dancing, probably most with singing as well. They learn about team work. It has to be working together. It can’t just be about ‘me’, and they learn so much. They also definitely get confidence, and they learn a lot just by meeting different people. A lot of young lads might not think it is very macho. There is still that slight stigma attached to it, but to stand up in front of 200 people and sing a solo takes a lot of guts and confidence and determination. It is a fantastic thing to do. We did Grease last year, and two of the fathers and two of the lads came up to us afterwards, and the fathers were saying that they hadn’t been really sure of musical theatre before, but they were almost in tears they were so proud of what their boys had achieved. And you hear that and you think: “Ok! That’s why we do it!”
Cast is: Nick Piazza – Sam Townsend; Carmen Dia – Abby Robinson; Serena Katz – Mary Bensley; Joe Vegas – Daniel Townsend; Schlomo Metzenbaum – Mason Gilbert; Mabel Washington – Madison Butler; Jack Zakowski – Colin Martin; Iris Kelly – Maddi Bowley; Grace “Lambchops” Lamb – Jennifer Ainsworth; Goodmand “Goody” King – Joseph Johnston; Miss Sherman – Kimberley Duke; Ms Bell – Hannah Skelton; Mr Sheinkopf – Matthew Hoff; Mr Meyers – Scott Dowell.

Then West Sussex is the place to be | null | null | www.shorehamherald.co.uk | West Sussex provides the second best area in England and Wales for quality of life for pensioners a new report claims.
The Quality of Retirement Index from Prudential assessed counties against seven criteria to indicate the extent to which people could enjoy a happy and comfortable retirement. These were: access to healthcare, crime levels, pensioner incomes, the weather, life expectancy, how many pensioners already lived in a particular area and how many were moving into the county. The counties were then given a score and ranked.
Prudential used data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) among other sources to make its findings. Dorset topped the table but West Sussex and Herefordshire came joint second, with Devon in fourth position and the Isle of Wight and East Sussex ranked joint fifth. Prudential said Dorset topped the rankings for quality of retirement owing to its “all-round appeal”. The research also found pensioners in Surrey, ranked at number 10, received the highest average annual retirement income, at £21,200. The full table is:
1. Dorset =2. Herefordshire =2. West Sussex 4. Devon =5. Isle of Wight =5. East Sussex 7. Rutland 8. Dyfed 9. Norfolk 10.

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

They will be performing at the Alexandra Theatre, Bognor Regis, on Saturday, September 10 at 7.30pm.
“We unashamedly love performing at this time of the year, as audiences are crying out to be entertained whilst they enjoy their holidays and occasional bursts of British sunshine,” David said.
“Our classically-trained singers, who specialise in performing brand-new pop-infused arrangements of everything from r’n’b and chart hits to classic rock and jazz, will be performing at the Alexandra Theatre in Bognor Regis and we can’t wait to share our new show Beside The Seaside with local music-lovers and ATM fans old and new. We’re really looking forward to bringing our unique brand of cross-genre, crisp, and quirky music entertainment to the south coast.
“Beside The Seaside is our new summer show that aims to capture the thrills and spills of holidays by the beach, taking a cool dip in the sea and chilling out on a warm Sunday afternoon with a 99 Flake and some Prosecco!
“Our programme will feature a massive variety of songs by The Beach boys, Bill Withers, Gloria Gaynor, Queen, The Spice Girls and everything in between.
“We’re celebrating songs associated with summertime, fun in the sun, flamboyance and most importantly some great up-lifting numbers to leave everyone smiling and utterly elated at our sun-kissed evening show.
“We’re also thrilled to be joined on stage by the Art of Dance and Fitness choir, a fantastic local music group, and we’re so excited to perform alongside their outstanding singers. They’ve got some stunning numbers planned for us!”
It’s all part of ATM’s continuing success: “ATM have been working tirelessly in between shows recording some absolutely-stunning new music videos that will soon be released alongside our fully-revamped website. New recordings will be available on our latest CD to buy at the September 10 gig, and our music videos will be exclusively unveiled on social media very soon.
“Otherwise we have already been preparing for our Christmas tours to end the year. There’s nothing like rehearsing Santa Baby in August!
“And we are looking forward to more corporate and public performances throughout the autumn season. Check out www.allthatmalarkey.com and our Facebook page www.facebook.com/AllThatMalarkey to keep up to date with our gig diary and releases.”

“It’s just me playing an acoustic set and then a few DJs… my first gig for about two years. I just lost my voice through gigging and not looking after it enough,” explains Lewis, a former student at Chichester High School for Boys. “It started about three years ago. I was just off Open Mic UK (competition), and I was just overdoing it. My voice was getting more and more rough and more hoarse, and I was not recovering quickly enough. It got to the stage where I was performing and no sound was coming out. It was awful. I didn’t know what was happening. In a gig, I’d try to laugh it off and explain the situation, and people would be sympathetic. I went to see some doctors and did a few tests and they gave me some voice rehabilitation sessions, gentle exercises like blowing through a straw, things like that.”
Another exercise involved imagining he was flipping the top of his head off backwards, a way of trying to open up your throat: “I went about 18 months to that and then singing lessons and just generally trying to do it myself.”
But he realised in the end, a key cause had been the pressure he was putting himself under: “I felt like I had to do music or else I would regret it for the rest of my life, and I was thinking that thought as well as having a blown voice, and it sent me into depressions, and I just realised it wasn’t fun anymore. I just realised I was taking it so seriously.”
And that was the point at which Lewis decided to reintroduce the fun – the point at which things began to pick up: “At that point, everything started easing out. At the moment I stopped practising regularly and stopped singing lessons, I just calmed down and everything fell into place. I have got a different perspective on it all. I am into Buddhism now. I meditate. I take every moment as it comes, and I am now much more trusting of myself. I am being much more careful when I am practising and warming up. I have learnt some valuable lessons, that you give it 100 per cent at a gig but you don’t give it 100 per cent when you are practising, just little techniques like that. Before, my voice was quite growly, quite nasally, throaty, aggressive, which was not a safe way to sing. I am different now, but the big difference is that I don’t live to make music. I wanted to make my living from music. Music was everything. It is not now. I am now a self-employed tradesman. I have got a different perspective. Before, music was my life.”
The new EP is called Back In Style and is available from his Facebook page, Lewis Bennett Official and will also be available on the night: “I have made the EP for myself, and it was great. I have never really had the opportunity before to do a full-band recording, but I was lucky enough to be in a studio where the engineers also played the drums and bass for you.” As a result of it all, Lewis describes himself as currently the happiest he has ever been – particularly as “I’ve managed to bag myself a slot at this year’s Victorious festival on the same day as my idol Noel Gallagher.”

The ‘£10 challenge’ was trialled on a beginner’s exercise courses.
Participants paid £10 at the start of the eight week course which they received back if they attended six out of the eight classes.
The courses aim to encourage inactive members of the community to do more physical activity.
James Newton, who delivers the courses, said: “The challenge element of the course has definitely helped motivate participants to regularly attend sessions and achieve their fitness goals.
“A lot of the attendees have noted an improvement in their level of fitness and overall well being, which has had a positive impact on their daily lives.
“They seem to have really enjoyed it.”
It will now be rolled out across all of the public health funded courses, which include three step gym, buggy fit, learn to run and walking football.

Luke Wright also decided to field, but had a much better day than Adams who saw Glamorgan resume on 457 for 1 on the second day. Wright’s bowlers dismissed Glamorgan for a below par 252 in 60.1 overs, before Chris Nash and Ed Joyce compiled an opening partnership of 111. Sussex trail by 142, and are well placed to gain a substantial lead on first innings.
Not for the first time this season Glamorgan relied on their middle and late order batsmen to get them out of trouble after they had slumped to 56 for 5 before lunch. The last five wickets added 196 runs with Graham Wagg and Mark Wallace scoring half centuries and Owen Morgan, who last week scored an undefeated 103 as night watchman against Worcestershire, again impressing with 32 not out. Jofra Archer achieved career best championship figures of 4-91, but he will bowl better than this and be less rewarded.
Nick Selman, who three weeks ago carried his bat against Northants, scoring 122 not out, was out to the fifth ball of the innings, and has now failed to score in four successive innings. He was quickly followed by Jacques Rudolph, whose miserable season continued when he gloved an innocuous delivery from Archer down the leg side to the wicketkeeper. The Sussex seamers continued to take wickets, but Glamorgan’s batsmen contributed to their downfall with some poor shot selection- Will Bragg following one from Steve Magoffin and David Lloyd- who struck his first ball for six- nudging to slip.
Wagg and Aneurin Donald began Glamorgan’s revival with a partnership of 50, before Donald played on to Archer, and although Craig Meschede was out soon afterwards, Wagg went on to score 57 with ten boundaries before giving David Wiese a return catch. Wallace top scored with 61 from 59 balls, putting on 44 with Wagg and 62 with Morgan who surely deserves promotion in the batting order from number 9. He shared a stand of 33 for the last wicket with Michael Hogan that enabled Glamorgan gain two batting points.
The green pitch was soon put into perspective by Chris Nash and Ed Joyce, who were soon into their stride, striking nine boundaries from the opening twelve overs, as Glamorgan’s opening bowlers Meschede and Van Der Gugten failed to make any impact. Nash reached his fifty from 89 balls, but Joyce nibbled at one from Meschede three overs before the close, having completed his thousand runs for the season after scoring 45.

On Thursday (August 25) at 4.25pm the all weather lifeboat was launched to a report of a broken down angling boat near Hove.
The 68ft boat, with two people on board, was spotted on the lifeboat’s radar as visibility was reduced to half a mile.
A tow was attached to the vessel and she was taken back to Shoreham at slow speed. Once inside the harbour, the lifeboat’s Y boat was launched to take the angling boat through the locks back to its berth. When that was completed, the lifeboat returned to station.
On Friday (August 26) at 5.15pm, the all weather lifeboat was launched again to a report of a person in difficulty in the water off Widewater, Lancing.
As the boat proceeded to the scene, it was established that it was an experienced swimmer waving to his friend ashore and he was ok. The call was good intent and the lifeboat returned to station.
At 2am on Saturday (August 27) the all weather lifeboat was called again to a report of white lights in the water believed to be a life jacket, a quarter of a mile west of Worthing Pier.
The lifeboat crew searched and found the lights on a small fishing tender. The call was good intent and the lifeboat returned to station.
Both the onshore and all weather lifeboats were launched again on Saturday at 8.40pm to a report of a swimmer in trouble near Carats cafe at Southwick. The swimmer had not been seen for 40 minutes.
The lifeboat searched the area and then the coastguard established that the swimmer had come ashore ok. The boats then returned to station.
Coxswain Steve Smith said: “It has been a busy few days for us during the hot spell of weather. Three of the calls were good intent and all turned out to be well.”

It’s a toe in the water for a form of seaside entertainment which many had feared had gone for good. Bobby, for one, salutes the idea of trying to bring it back.
“It’s certainly unusual in this day and age where most theatres are not prepared to take the risk on a summer season,” Bobby concedes, “but Hazel (Latus, producer at Bognor) is prepared to give it a go – just for three days, which is great. She is trying to recreate the golden days of the summer season which I did a lot of in my early career.”
Bobby has got precisely the pedigree to make it succeed. From his six winning appearances on TV’s Opportunity Knocks as a teenager through to his three seasons at the London Palladium, numerous gold and silver discs, starring roles in four musicals and appearances for various members of the Royal Family, Bobby remains one of the UK’s favourite musicians.
“I came in on the tail end of the Bernard Delfont summer seasons where you could have ten musicians in the pit and 12 dancers and a full variety bill. My first variety season was in 1973 in Eastbourne and we were doing two shows a night and selling out every performance.
“It was a time when not everybody was in the habit of going abroad for holidays, and summer seasons were thriving for performers. Somebody like me could pack a bag for four months and hire a house and be quite settled while at the same time being in association with some great colleagues. My first summer season was with Dickie Henderson and Lionel Blair. And the summer seasons continued into the 80s and slightly beyond before they fizzled out 20 years ago. But things go round. Things turn in cycles. In terms of variety coming back, you have got things like Britain’s Got Talent on TV and also Sunday Night at the London Palladium being revived. Maybe people are just starting to look to come to variety shows again and maybe it will just take a little bit of educating them.”
Bobby can certainly promise something special: “Live theatre is the best and only way to actually feel like you are participating in a show rather than just watching TV. With live theatre, obviously, it is something that is actually happening in front of you. I think a lot of youngsters have not really got into the habit alongside all the other distractions around like movies and PlayStations and so on. But things were different in my generation. My mum and dad brought me up to go to the theatre and saw it as part of my education, just as I have done with my nieces. They are 22 and 20 now, and I would like to think that if they are still going to the theatre now, it has got something to do with Uncle Bobby!”
It’s part of the story Bobby will tell in his autobiography. He reckons he is probably about half way through writing it now. It will be quite some story: “I have worked with lots of interesting people. I was at the Palladium with Julie Andrews and Jack Jones and Morecambe & Wise, and my experiences of the business have been mainly positive.”
For Bobby, so famously, it all started on Opportunity Knocks a little matter of 44 years ago, that great pre-runner of all our talent competitions today.
“I won Opportunity Knocks for seven weeks, and at the time it was a record. It gave me my start in the business. It was all through Opportunity Knocks that I got a six-album deal with Philips Records which I was really thrilled about. I had always wanted to make records and I found myself on the same label as Dusty Springfield, my favourite singer.”
Back then, Opportunity Knocks was averaging 15 or 16 million viewers a week at a time when there were just three channels – not that that necessarily added to the pressure for young Bobby.
“My father gave up his job and became my road manager. He took a lot of the pressure off me. He would drive me to gigs and do my VAT and sort out hotels, and if ever I was showing signs that I was getting a bit swell-headed, the fact that my dad was my road manager and keeping a keen eye on me kept my feet on the ground.
“So I didn’t really feel pressurised, but my memory of my teenage years and early 20s was being on the road and being in endless hotels and working really hard. I wanted to make the most of the opportunities I was given. I knew that a lot of people that came from Opportunity Knocks had a career for maybe a year or two years, but I was looking at it as long-term employment. I was looking at the bigger picture so I was having singing lessons and dance lessons, and I took it really seriously – to the detriment of my personal life. My personal life went out of the window! But this is my 44th year in the business now, so I have managed to keep it going.
“Opportunity Knocks was part of a kinder age. There was no judging panel. There was no filming of the auditions. There was no expectation about people going for auditions that obviously had no hope getting through. You had your chance and then it was up to the public.
“In 1972, there was no telephone voting. It was postcards, can you imagine, and if you didn’t get enough, you didn’t come back the following week. If you got enough, you came back week after week until someone knocked you off. I just felt from the word go that you had to adapt, that you had to keep learning new skills and go into other areas.”
The host of Opportunity Knocks was the redoubtable Hughie Green.
“So much has come out about him since his death that people are always interested in what I thought he was like, but I have to speak as I find and I have to say that he was always very good to me. I think he appreciated the fact that in the early days I would always give him credit for giving me my break.”

“You’re not just watching a crusty old bit of half-lost drama,” it shouts. “You’re watching something which gives a context for all the industrial failures which have followed!”
It’s a little early to forsake all subtlety. For the tale of a tin plate works, it’s a distinctly leaden start – and the night never really recovers, a wordy evening which, in fairness, was facing a pretty near impossible task not of its own making.
Could it make us forget we were missing the Olympics for this? No, not remotely.
And numerous bizarreries in the staging dig the hole deeper.
It was unfathomable why half the audience was staring at itself in a mirror; the female butler was frankly spooky; and the scene-shifters dressed in modern-day factory kit smacked of desperation. “Yes, it’s all terribly, terribly relevant” they might as well have had written across their chests.
A more confident production would have cut the sillinesses and allowed the play to speak for itself with its message that industrial conflict isn’t just black and white; there are shades of grey on both sides.
Embodying intransigence is the key battle between John Anthony (William Gaunt), elderly chairman of the Trenartha Tin Plate Works in Wales, and the firebrand strike leader David Roberts (Ian Hughes).
Around them on either side, wading through the consequences, are various people – the board versus the workers – aware that surely somewhere compromise has to be made. But to learn that this was as much the case is 1909 as it is today hardly comes as earth-shattering historical insight.
We wait for the penny to drop as to why we are being offered this play at this particular moment, especially in a production which comes with such daftnesses. You even sit there wishing they had had the sense to change the unfortunate name of one of the characters.
Even so, there are still pleasures to be enjoyed. Gaunt manages to convey huge strength of character despite his frail frame. He remains an actor of immense presence.
Elsewhere, Lucy Black conveys the nobility of the doomed victim of it all; and Lizzy Watts is excellent as the naïve do-gooder who at least has the decency to cross the lines in probably the play’s most interesting strand.
But few of the other characters add up to much, and the lasting impression is of a production reluctantly aware that it really hasn’t unearthed the lost treasure it had been hoping for...

The full-back suffered an ankle injury following a late challenge by Yann Kermorgant in the 2-2 league draw at Reading.
Albion boss Chris Hughton admitted with strong swelling still around the area, Rosenior will not be included in his side’s squad for the trip to St James’ Park.
He said: “Liam will miss out. He is still a little bit sore, we are still having to assess that one and are waiting for a little bit of the soreness to go before we are able to assess it.”
Dale Stephens is available but Hughton is still to make a decision on whether the midfield man will travel.
Solly March continues his comeback from injury with an under-23 game tomorrow, while defender Connor Goldson is pencilled in for a under-23 match next week.

Those are the findings of a study of 2,000 people which examined the best feel-good things for Brits - unearthing the top movies, music and more that are most likely to lift the spirits.
A blaring bit of Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now came top of the list of pleasure-bringing tunes, with Pharrell Williams’ Happy in second and ELO’s classic Mr. Blue Sky in third for the best feel-good tracks.
Dirty Dancing, Love Actually and Bridget Jones’s Diary are as good as it gets when it comes to feel-good movie magic, and we also feel happier when we look after ourselves and get some exercise.
The research, commissioned by Highland Spring to launch its new Feel Good initiative on the benefits of healthy hydration, found that Brits love exercising to make themselves feel better, and a brisk walk with the dog, fitness class or bike ride are some of the top ways to get out and feel good.
Meanwhile, waking up early in the morning can go towards a feel-good day, with 8.30am voted the optimum time to rise on a day off work.
Being outside is crucial to happiness, with respondents saying that sitting in their garden in the sunshine, walking the dog or playing sports would be part of their ideal feel-good day.
The research also found that looking good is part of feeling good and on average we spend 25 minutes making ourselves look our best - although it takes women 11 minutes longer than men.
The survey highlighted the following top 10 ways to have a great day as well as the best feel good movies and songs:

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

Organiser Roger Nash said: “The tickets will get you into five superb concerts at the town’s Alexandra Theatre and Regis Centre Studio featuring some of the UK’s and Europe’s top folk, roots and acoustic performers.
“Starting with the amazing Cara Dillon and band on Friday evening, the studio concerts on Saturday afternoon feature the brilliant Dutch band Wild Geese and Scottish singing sensation Claire Hastings and in the evening, the awesome Oysterband supported by the excellent Fate the Juggler.
“The concerts continue on Sunday afternoon in the studio with the stunning Steve Tilston, Wild Geese and many others and on Sunday evening, a real treat with the legendary Martin Carthy supported by the superb Robb Johnson Band plus the winner of the Sussex Young Folk Competition.”
Open to all musicians aged eight to 21, the competition will take place at the William Hardwicke on Sunday, September 25. The winner will receive a new guitar and be awarded with a 20-minute set later the same day, supporting the festival’s headliners in the Alexandra Theatre.
Roger is delighted with the way the programme has come together – particularly with the late addition of Martin Carthy after Shooglenifty were forced to withdraw from the festival for personal reasons.
“This is our fourth festival, and for the fourth festival we are focusing the festival much more on Bognor Regis town centre. We are not using Hotham Park.
“We just want to be more central this time. We have linked up with the town-centre management, and we have got nine different dance groups performing. We have also got music sessions going on and workshops going on, and we have also got the Sussex Young Folk Competition at the William Hardwicke and a real-ale festival.
“The other thing is that we have much more teamed up with the Regis Centre. Before, we would hire the Regis Centre, but this year we are working much more closely together with them as partners.”
Roger is delighted at the way word has spread for the festival since he revived it after many years away: “We are doing the social more media actively than before, and it does make a big difference because it gets the message out much more widely. It is as simple as that.
“We have changed the format of the festival insofar as we are focusing much more on the town centre, but we think we have generally got the format right.”
Just as importantly, Roger is delighted at the important knock-on economic benefits it brings to Bognor and the positive image it helps to project of the town as a lively, successful place.

Town, who are yet to play a home game this season due to a 3G surface being installed at their Shooting Field home, sealed a 2-1 win at Ringmer on Saturday, before coming out 3-1 victors over Billingshurst two days later.
Having collected three wins and lost just once to date, Murphy has been pleased with his side’s progress.
On Saturday, Rob Clark’s strike five minutes after the break, then Charles Romain’s effort on the hour put Town in command.
Benjamin Jesson’s late strike ensured a nervy finale but Steyning held on, with Murphy pleased to take all three points.
He said: “We were let off the hook a little as they missed a penalty in the first minute.
“After the break, kicking up the slope, we started brighter and played some good football on a difficult surface.
“We got two goals and looked pretty comfortable. We got a little scrappy in the last 15 minutes, then gave a goal away but we deserved the win on the day.”
Town then followed that success up with an impressive display at Billingshurst.
Chad Milner netted twice, while Clark scored for the second game running to give Steyning victory.
Milner put Steyning ahead on 20 minutes but back came back Billingshurst to level six minutes later through Samuel Gravestock.
Town took the lead for a second time ten minutes before the break, then Clark rounded off the scoring on the hour.
Murphy was happy to see his side collect another three points.
He said: “It was a lovely pitch with both teams trying to play football.
“We gave away a needless corner, which we conceded from but other than that we were comfortable.
“It’s great to get two more wins on the road, it’s been a good start so far.”
STEYNING v Billingshurst: Rose; Elms, Hare, Dodd, Greer, Bukleb, Wadey, Clark, Levoi, Milner, Romain. Subs: Boys, Hull-Flowers, Skipper.
v Ringmer: Rose; Hare, Wadey, Elms, Dodd, Bukleb, Skipper, Greer, Milner, Romain, Clark. Subs: Levoi, Boys.

Then David Steadman, Shoreham’s town centre manager, invited a fabulous trio of musicians to play for them.
Now, The Duke of Wellington has flown the trio over especially to play at RiverFest, starting tonight at the opening of the Brighton Road pub’s beer festival.
Adrian Towler, editor of the society’s newsletter, The Journal, said: “The trio, billed as Poki Co, features double bass, piano accordion and an amazing girl violinist, who must be heard to be believed.”
Zywiec has a huge brewery and its draught lager are always popular at the Shoreham pub.
The Ales of the Riverbank beer festival features dozens of real ales from all over Britain.
Poki Co will also be playing at the Wellie on Sunday from 8pm.
On Saturday morning, they will be at the Artisan’s Market in East Street, Shoreham, and on Bank Holiday Monday at Coronation Green from 1pm.

So if you’ve got a big wedding coming up and you’re worried about the dos and don’ts of what to wear or just need some tips on this summer’s key wedding trends then read on and watch our video where stylist Naomi Isted runs through this year’s top looks
Up and down the country beautiful couples are tying the knot, in the most exquisite dresses and gorgeous suits... but let’s face it while we all love to look at the bridal party most of us are more concerned with our own outfits!
From being the best dressed guest, to making sure you’re not in agony by the end of a long day thanks to high heels, there are plenty of things to consider when it comes to preparing for a wedding this summer. So what are the main things to think about?
Here are our 3 top tips
1 Dress code – while weddings in this day and age are usually much more relaxed affairs than in years gone by, some weddings will still have a very ‘dressy’ dress code. Check your invite, if it says black tie, or even white tie then that means suits and tails for the men and formal dress for the lady…similarly if the invite says smart casual or relaxed, then whatever you do, don’t go overly formal – you will feel out of place and stick out like a sore thumb in the photos!
2 Don’t upstage the bride – and that doesn’t mean you can’t wear white (see our video for a way to wear white without getting mistaken for the bride). While we all want to look our best as a wedding guest, the day is really about the bride (or groom) so make sure not to go too OTT on your outfit, jewellery, make up and footwear. Stand out but don’t STAND OUT!
3 Comfort – and we’re not just talking about making sure your shoes aren’t too tight, or your spanx aren’t cutting off your circulation. You want to feel your best on your…I mean THE big day.

For anyone heading to Reading and Leeds festivals this weekend or Together the People next month, you might be forgiven for thinking that Fickle Friends are the new kids on the block.
However, the Brighton band have been a firm fixture on the festival circuit for the last two years playing Bestival, BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Secret Garden Party.
“We have been going for a while,” says lead singer Natti Shiner. “But it isn’t until you get played on commercial radio that people say ‘oh wow those guys have come from nowhere’.
“The 1975 have been going for about eight years under different guises but it is only really now people are starting to take notice.”
Natti formed the band, made up of Harry Herrington on bass; Chris Hall on lead guitar; Sam Morris on drums and Jack Wilson on keyboards, about three years ago when the quintet met at the University of Brighton.
The name came not long after they formed, with Natti explaining that Fickle Friends was just meant to be a name to tide them over and the plan was initially to change it to something else.
“As time went on it kind of just stuck so we kept with it,” she smiles.
The band’s first EP Velvet was released in 2015 and Natti says they were very much a ‘DIY band’.
“That has shifted now as we have signed with a record label,” she explains. “The first EP we did ourselves and worked really hard to get it out.
“We have the luxury of someone else doing the work now and telling us when the singles are coming out.
“It is exciting and everything is a lot more structured than it was before.”
Releasing an EP was a great way for the band to show people what they are all about and Natti reveals that it got the band the buzz they needed to get noticed.
This lead to them being signed, with work then able to begin on an album which should be released at the end of this year.
The plan for the band is to record 17 songs and then pick the ones that will make the album.
“We are always writing and figuring out what we want the album to be,” explains Natti.
Fickle Friends’ sound has been described as upbeat with an 80s synth-pop feel to it, which is probably best illustrated by single ‘Swim’.
It is clear that many of their songs wouldn’t sound out of place on the 2011 film Drive’s motion picture soundtrack – something that crossed Natti’s mind when she heard former Radio 1’s DJ Zane Lowe curate such a thing with the likes of Bastille, The 1975, and CHVRCHES.
“I would love for the BBC, or anyone, to do a re-imagining of the soundtrack again. We would love to get on it and think our sound would fit really well,” she enthuses.
As for musical influences, Natti lists bands like Bombay Bicycle Club, Justice, Two Door Cinema Club, Friendly Fires and Michael Jackson, and admits you can hear a bit of all of them in Fickle Friends.
“Our sound has changed a lot over the years. I think it has got a lot more intelligent,” she reveals.
“Before it was really hectic and chaotic, but it would be because we would play bits and be like ‘oh I love that, put that in’, ‘that is great we need to have that’, so we would get it all in.
“Now we use sounds that complement each other so it works better as a song.”
The last few months have been hectic for the band, with a diary filled with festival appearances as well as trying to fit in recording their new album in LA.
“Our weekends would be filled with festivals then we would head over to America to record the album and then back over here for a performance,” reveals Natti.
The band have never played a festival in Brighton before so Natti says they are really looking forward to performing at Together the People this month at Preston Park.
The summer may be over, although many might debate it never really started, but thanks to Fickle Friends at least the sound of summer can continue well until the end of the year.
Fickle Friends will play the NME/Radio 1 stage at Reading Festival on Friday, August 26, and the same stage at Leeds Festival on Saturday, August 27.
Together the People takes place on September 3 and 4 at Preston Park, Brighton.
Other performers include Suede, Brian Wilson performing Pet Sounds, Peter Hook and the Light, The Horrors and Turin Breaks.

With a number of universities in England announcing they would be raising their annual fees above the £9,000 limit, there are fears higher education could once again become the playground of the elite.
Michael Ferry, Headteacher at St Wilfrid's, Crawley. Pic Steve Robards SR1520189 SUS-150820-140229001
Michael Ferry, head of St Wilfrid’s School, in Crawley, said the idea of increasing fees was “alarming” and added: “This will only put students off from entering university as they will be saddled with increased amounts of debt.
“Although many schools, including St Wilfrid’s, spend a lot of time demystifying what you pay for and when, it will certainly put people off from applying if fees rise.
“If we are not careful as a society, we will go back in time to an age when only a small minority were able to access a university place and even they were given a grant to do so.”
Peter Woodman, head of The Weald School, in Billingshurst, said he did not think students had been put off by the high fees, but were more selective about their choices.
We should do everything we can to ensure that access to university is fair and that people get in on merit, not because of which school they went to or how much money their parents have. Michael Ferry, headteacher, St Wilfrid’s School
He added: “They want to go to a university where the teaching is good and the support first class. They do not just want a degree.
“They want the right course that is also value for money and provides them with the right educational experience for their next step in life.”
When it came to earning a place at university, Mr Woodman felt the increasingly difficult A-levels would lead to a fall in the numbers making the grade.
He agreed the rising fees could also see students from less well-off backgrounds deciding the cost was too high.
Currently, any student debts not paid back after 30 years are wiped out and there are that, if that safety net was withdrawn, talented youngsters would choose to enter employment or an apprenticeship rather than achieving their full potential at university.
Mr Woodman recognised the difficulties faced by the government when it scrapped free university education.
He pointed out the percentage of students participating in higher education had risen from 10 per cent in the 1980s to more than 40 per cent and added: “This comes at a cost.
“Providing virtually free higher education to 10 per centr of the population was one thing but providing it to over 40 per cent of the population is expensive.”
Summing up his feeling, Mr Ferry said: “Universities are great places for their further development and although not everyone wants to apply, we should do everything we can to ensure that access to university is fair and that people get in on merit, not because of which school they went to or how much money their parents have.”
Mr Woodman agreed, describing a framed extract of a speech made by playwright Alan Bennett, which hangs in his office.
Called Fair Play, it reads: “We all know that to educate, not according to ability but according to the social situation of the parents, is both wrong and a waste.”
He said: “I whole heartedly agree. As such, I worry that increasing university fees yet again will allow the sons and daughters of those who can afford university to go and those who cannot afford it, not to go.
“Unless mechanisms are put in place to encourage and support those students and families this would be both unfair and a tragic waste of potential.”

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

Govia Thameslink Railway brought in a revised weekday timetable in early July, which cancelled more than 300 services a day in response to staff shortages.
The rail operator has been locked in a bitter dispute with the RMT union for months over plans to change the role of conductors, with both sides blaming each other for the inadequate level of train crew available.
The new timetable saw most train services cancelled between Lewes and Seaford, with buses operating instead.
Southern announced today that 119 train services will be reinstated on Monday (September 5), but these will be in Surrey and in and out of London.
Charles Horton, GTR’s chief executive, said: “We know how difficult life has been for our passengers recently and we are sincerely sorry. Our aim has been to bring back as much of the timetable as quickly as we could and for several weeks we’ve had 5th September as our target to begin the reinstatement of trains.
“We’re pleased that we can restore a large chunk of our train timetable for our passengers on this date but we will not be satisfied until the full timetable is running, and running in a punctual way people can rely on.
“But with another RMT strike called for next week, passengers will be dismayed and angry, as we are, that the union has called yet further cynically-orchestrated action to try and scupper this improved service, and cause maximum disruption, damage and delay in the very week when many people go back to work and back to school after the summer break.”
“But we will not be thwarted in our determination to give passengers their trains back. In the face of an intransigent RMT leadership, we’re doing all we can to get our passengers back on track.
“The updated timetable will allow us to run a more comprehensive rush hour service with virtually a full peak service at London Bridge and 95% of peak train capacity at Victoria. We will continue to add services incrementally and we are aiming at restoring the full timetable in the coming weeks.
“However, while we’ll do all we can to restore the services, we are faced with an unparalleled wave of strikes, unjustified industrial disputes and abnormal levels of train crew sickness. We are also part of a live railway network which can result, however much we don’t want them, in unexpected incidents which do cause short notice cancellations and disruption. This is the start of the journey to restore the full timetable. It will take time to complete, but passengers can be assured it is now underway.”
The restored rail services are available in online journey planners.
Southern says that information on services during the RMT strike action on Wednesday and Thursday, 7 and 8 September will be announced in due course.

The Brighton boss guided Newcastle to promotion from the Championship back in 2010 as they sealed a Premier League return at the first time of asking.
Unbeaten Albion travel to St James’ Park in good form, sitting second in the league and they are still yet to taste a defeat this season.
But having managed there before, Hughton is all too aware of Newcastle’s qualities and the test his team will face.
He said: “I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. It was a very good staff, a very passionate club and all the people that work around the club are all mad Newcastle supporters as well.
“It’s one that you look forward to but I think it’s also a club and a stadium that I think graces this division.
“I think most teams will look forward to going to them but in other ways it will be a little bit daunting for everybody because they are a team that will be up there come the end of the season.”
Brighton have been boosted with the news Newcastle strikers Dwight Gayle and Alexander Mitrovic have both been ruled out of Saturday’s encounter.
Despite those two missing, Hughton believes whoever Magpies boss Rafa Benitez brings in will be a handful for his defenders.
He added: “I was a little bit surprised because I know the comment after their most recent match was that they would both be available. A little bit surprised with that but it does not really alter too much and still makes it as difficult game as it was.
“They can afford to have the squad that they have had and they have recruited very well, so whatever team or formation will be strong.”
With the summer transfer window closing on Wednesday, Hughton admits he may well do some business before the door slams shut.
Brighton’s boss said: “Hopefully we’re not too busy because we don’t need to do too much. We will only do something if it is right for us and that’s whether it be in or out.
“A possibility could see a couple go out on loan but that’s only if we do some business and I’m not desperate for it.
“We’ve got a good competitive squad, players coming back from injury which adds to that but if we can finish the window having the best possible squad we can, then that will be a plus for us.”

Members of the council, including councillor Geoff Patmore, want to renovate the facade of the old Luxor cinema building in South Street, Lancing.
The Luxor Cinema in Station Parade, Lancing, in its heyday in the 1940's
They are reaching out to developers of the building to see that the frontage is safeguarded – particularly after it was almost destroyed on August 15 by fire.
Sussex Police determined that the fire was started by a mattress that was set alight on the ground floor.
Now derelict, the building was a thriving community hub for decades, first as a cinema in the fourties and fifties and then as a bingo hall before it closed down in the eighties.
And Mr Patmore, who is also on Adur District Council, is hoping the community will get behind the project, which will include a cinema morning.
It could have been a tragedy; it’s so full of memories for the people of Lancing Geoff Patmore
He said: “The fire has brought to the attention of people and councillors how vulnerable the building is.
“We are trying to do all this work, and then a fire could have destroyed it all.
“It could have been a tragedy; it’s so full of memories for the people of Lancing.”
The community cinema is planned to take place at Lancing Parish Hall once a month to recreate the ‘Saturday morning pictures’ that were so popular at the Luxor.
The council hopes to screen popular films for children aged four to seven to attend with their parents, with access to the bar in the intermissions and ushers to provide refreshments.
Mr Patmore said: “What we would like is to preserve the sign, tidy it up and put it back to how it was. That would be wonderful.
“People will come off the train at Lancing station and immediately think what a wonderful statement for Lancing: that they look after their buildings and preserve memories for the future.”
He added that the Planning and Building Control team at the district council ‘had the Luxor on their radar’ and that he had informed the chief executive about the situation.
“It is early days, but we are all working towards the same goal. I’m feeling very positive about it,” he said.

Highways England issued a statement saying that the M20 is closed between junctions one and four, and ‘is likely to remain closed until at least Sunday lunchtime’.

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

The Rocks dominated from the first kick to the last and were well on their way to victory by the time Worthing had a man sent off just before half-time at 2-0 down.
There was only gonig to be one result from the moment Thomas Byrne headed them in front, and further goals from Ollie Pearce, James Fraser (2) - the second of his being a goal of the season contender - and Dylan Barnett made it a perfect day for Bognor and an awful one for Worthing.
The neighbouring sides were meeting in a league game for the first time since 2012 following Worthing’s promotion from Ryman one south via the play-offs.
Both sides went into the game on the back of good starts to the season and Bognor were sixth and Worthing fifth at the start of play.
Pearce was first to threaten with a shot on the turn in the fourth minute that took a deflection and flew out for a corner as the Rocks began by doing most of the attacking.
Soon Fraser went close with a near-post header from a corner that was just kept out by a defender’s block.
Bognor were playing some lovely stuff early on. Byrne took too long to try to put the finishing touches to one forward move - then the same player had an effort blocked after Barnett and Pearce’s exchange of passes set him up 12 yards out.
On 13 minutes Pearce’s run down the left ended with a cross that was perfect for unmarked Fraser, but he didn’t make a clean connection and it trickled wide.
The Rocks’ early enterprise deserved a goal and it came on the quarter-hour mark as Barnett’s long, straight cross from the left was glanced in by Byrne to send the home fans wild.
Bognor were forced into a change when Doug Tuck had to be replaced by Darren Budd, apparently after picking up an injury.
Scorer Byrne was booked for a late challenge on Harvey Sparks on halfway as Worthing tried to break to get back on level terms.
Pearce was close to doubling the lead after a smart 1-2 with Barnett down the left led to him cutting inside and curling a right-foot shot that brought an excellent diving save out of Rikki Banks.
Pearce was just as close a minute later with a curling effort that this time beat the keeper but went the wrong side of the post.
When Worthing did find space for a shot on goal, Reis Stanislaus sent one over the clubhouse roof.
Dan Beck was booked for a challenge on Stanislaus as the visitors finally managed to get some possession in the Rocks half.
Byrne was perfectly placed on 33 minutes to meet a Barnett cross but his low sidefooted effort was smothered by Banks.
Then Byrne twisted in the box to create an opening but a defender slid in to deny him.
Ex-Selsey man Omar Bugiel ought to have made it 1-1 ten minures before the break as Stanislaus played him in on goal, but with only Billy Granger to beat, he dragged his shot wide - and immediately pulled his shirt over his head, knowing what a good chance he had missed.
There was a minor scare for the Rocks when Sami El-Abd left a free-kick as it was lofted goalwards - he thought it was going out but Stanislaus kept it in, but Granger gathered the ball in from the byline.
It was 2-0 thanks to Pearce on 42 minutes. Pearce himself made the goal, twisting and turning in the box and sqauring to Byrne - andwhen the keeper pushed out his shot, Pearce connected with the rebound and put it past Banks.
Worthing were rattled and Zak Newton was sent off in the dying minutes of the first half. It came after he tangled with El-Abd after the pair challenged for a high ball.
Soon after, El-Abd went into the book - rather harshly - for a foul on Stanislaus. From the free-kick, Granger made a good save to prevent Worthing getting one back.
As the players came off for the break, there were a few comments flying around and one or two players from both sides had to be kept a safe distance from one another.
The referee had picked up a glass and a bottle which ended up on the edge of the pitch behind Granger’s goal.
HT 2-0
Walter Figueira came on for El-Abd at the start of the second half - perhaps because the booked defender was involved in a couple of flashppoints just before the break.
Budd almost took advantage of a defensive mix-up seven minutes into the second half, forcing a good save from Banks after a defender had headed the ball out to him as the keeper was about to gather a high ball.
It was a relatively-sedate start to the second half but it was the Rocks doing most of the attacking.
Bognor had the ball in the net again on 59 minutes after dispossessing Worthing just outside their box but an offside flag was up.
Five minures later it was in the net again and this time it did count as Fraser shot low past Banks.
Pearce was keen to get his name on the scoresheet and won a corner as his shot was halfp-blocked at the end of a surging run down the inside right channel.
Both sides made a change - Worthing brought on Matt Axell for Matt Piper and Bognor replaced Pearce with Jimmy Muitt.
There was a bit of unrest behing Granger’s goal with one fan escorted from the ground and a section of the Worthing fans setting off some kind of smoke bomb.
Budd was the latest in a long line of players shown a yellow card foe=r pulling back an opponent.
Fraser ought to have scored the Rocks’ fourth when he was sent through with Bank to beat but he rolled the shot wide of the far post.
The same player saved the best til last when he doubled his tally and put Bognor 4-0 with 11 minutes to go. Again he was played in down the right, but with work to do. Not unlike Gazza in England’s Euro 1996 win against Scotland, he lifted the ball over a defender then smashed a volley beyond Banks and into the far corner.
Bognor weren’t content with four and Fraser almost completed a hat-trick but couldn’t force the ball in at the near post from a corner.
It was 5-0 with two minutes to go as Worthing were robbed of possession deep in their own territory. Sub Figueira weaved his way to the byline and cut it back for Barnett who drove a right-footed effort into the top corner to complete a perfect day for Bognor and a miserable one for Worthing.
Byrne’s solo run might have earned a sixth in stoppage time but he shot narrowly wide.
Rocks: Granger, Sanders, Crane, Tuck, Charman, El-Abd, Fraser, Beck, Byrne, Pearce, Barnett.Subs: Wild, Budd, Figueira, Robinson, Muitt.
Worthing: Banks, Piper, Rents, Wills,Elphick, Metcalf, Newtown, O’Neill, Stanislaus, Bugiel, Sparks. Subs: Axell, Edwards, Brodie, Punter, Fagan.

Dear Lucy. My husband has got this terrible habit of washing his hands lots of times and checking all the switches to make sure they’re off. It takes us hours to leave the house every day as he has all these rituals. In fact, his life has become unbearable as it seems like he has become a prisoner in his own world of checking. Please can you explain in detail, what you think is wrong with him?
Lucy: I am sorry for your distress regarding your husband’s condition it must be an anxious time for you? It sounds like your husband is suffering from an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder OCD. This is a complex condition that occurs in many people. Your husband could have a genetic predisposition in his personality or it could also be a social conditioning due to stresses he feels in his life. It seems he is acting out rituals and repetitive actions in order to block out thoughts and feelings that he is uncomfortable with. There are many unconscious conflicts in the sufferers mind that can cause the OCD and it will help him if he finds an outlet to explore these through counselling or a support group. Your first port of call should be his G.P. who will advise him. This is a journey that affects both of you and I am sure your husband can find the help he needs for both of your sakes. I would definitely advise him to join a local Support Group as this will give him the ongoing support until he feels he has conquered the condition.
Dear Lucy. I don’t know which way to turn. I could really use some advice.
I have been married eight years and feel out of love. I stay with my husband as he recently had cancer. But both myself and my teenage daughter are unhappy in this loveless argumentative home.
What should I do?
Lucy: It sounds like you’re in a difficult situation. I hope your husband has recovered well but this is clearly difficult for you as his illness can make you feel obliged to stay. You say you are out of love but I am wondering if it may be the cancer that might have got in the way of your relationship. Perhaps you and your husband have been preoccupied with his battle. The stress of the cancer plus life’s daily struggles would put a strain on any marriage and I can understand that you may have felt shut out at times. I am wondering if you can try and find the love with your husband that you once had when you first met him? It is very important that you both try and work on your relationship to figure out what has caused the problem and try not to argue in front of your daughter. Maybe the stress has stopped you from spending enough special time together. I also do suggest you could try some couples counselling to work through honestly what has caused the problem together and how his cancer impacts on your marriage and your decisions. These sessions could also be used to discuss your own feelings about your own inner world, which understandably has taken a back seat in recent times. All marriages deserve open communication and honesty with each other and a commitment to try and understand what has gone wrong whether you stay together or not.

The 72-year-old man remains inside the house with police security cordons and a road closure in place as negotiations continue.
Emergency services were first called to the property at around 4.10pm on Sunday to a report of threatening behaviour.
A woman known to the man was also in the house in Harbour Road, Pagham, at the time, but she left shortly after police arrival and is safe and well.
The man, who is on his own and believed to have a gun, continues to communicate with trained police negotiators.
Chief Superintendent Neil Honnor said: “I appreciate this must be a little disconcerting and frustrating for local residents having a continued large police presence outside their homes.
“The safety of the local community is paramount and we are doing all we can to resolve this ongoing incident in a controlled way.
“The road closure and cordons remain in place but residents are still free to come and go as and when they need to with police support.
“We would once again like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding.”
An earlier report from Sussex police confirmed armed officers were at the scene as negotations continued.

It has been a miserable start to the season for Ferring and they have now conceded 60 goals in just four matches this season, following 18-0, 15-1 and 9-2 defeats.
Leisure, in their first-ever season in the SCFL, have now picked up six points from their opening three matches. They began with a 4-0 win over Rustington last midweek, before a 3-0 defeat at Upper Beeding on Saturday which manager James Everett called a wake-up call.
Leisure then cruised to all three points on Monday, after they led 9-1 at half-time. Kirkham scored four in each half, while their other scorers were Ricky Neenan, with four, Rossi Kaye, with a hat-trick, Chris Wiseman, with two, and Dom Justice.
Everett said: “We were looking to get something from Saturday and it was a bit of a wake-up call for us. They were 1-0 up and deservedly in the lead when we had a goal disallowed as the referee adjudged Steve Kirkham had kicked the ball out of their keeper’s hands.
“They then went straight down the other end and made it 2-0 just before half-time.
“We started the second half well and Ricky Neenan had a shot well saved, before they got a third midway through the second half.
“Against Ferring, we got the goals and got the win but it was a bit of a sad day, really.
“It’s not really football but we had to go out there, be professional and do a job as it might make a difference at the end of the season.
“They’re a young team but hopefully they will improve and starting getting points off other teams as the season progresses.”

Offered as part of The Plumley Collection series, Neil’s recital will be in Arundel Cathedral on Monday, August 29 at noon.
His programme will feature: Fiat Lux – Theodore Dubois; Cantabile; Piece Heroique – Cesar Franck; Piece en mode de Re; Te Deum from Trois Paraphrases Gregoriennes – Jean Langlais; Prelude and Fugue sur le nom d’Alain – Maurice Durufle; Piece d’Orgue – J S Bach; and Neil’s own Improvisation.
Neil will be hoping to tap into the rich colour palette of his home organ at Farnborough Abbey.
“There are two things that make it special. One is that it is an organ of exceptional quality, and the second is that it is from the French romantic tradition, which is very unusual in England.”
And yes, you really can hear the difference between French and English: “It is the sound, the tonal quality. The best way I can describe it is to make a comparison. If you compare the colour palette of Turner and the English pastel art with the art of Mondrian, of Chagall, of Degas, of Renoir, you look at the differences in the colour and in the intensity compared to the more washed-out subtlety and beauty of English art. You can immediately see that the colours of French music are much brighter.”
It’s a trait that you can even see if you compare French and English rugby, Neil believes: “There is a sense in the French character that they can come up with someone new at the last moment. It’s like being able to improvise the notes and the sounds. The English character is quite calm by comparison. The French is more passionate.
“It’s like if you are speaking to someone in this country and the person is getting very enthusiastic, you might say ‘You are getting very passionate about that’ almost as if passionate is a derogatory thing. For the French, it definitely isn’t!”
Like most organists, Neil began on the piano but was drawn to the organ for its seemingly-infinite potential and range of possibilities: “There is a greater sense of spontaneity. When you hear a piano, it is a piano you are hearing and that is that. In some ways, it can be quite monochrome, but when you hear an organ, it is like the whole orchestra you could be listening to there are so many possibilities. When you combine things on the organ, you can come up with something that is really quite strange. It is like when the rock stars started to use synthesisers in the 1970s, people like Rick Wakeman. You get all that potential, and that is so much more appealing…”
And for Neil, a big part of that attraction is the scope it gives him for improvisation: “If you are playing composed music, very often you are in the situation where it has already been orchestrated and you are playing something where the composer gives you the plan. His request is for certain colours, and what you are really doing is painting by numbers. You are following the directions of the composer, and creatively it is limiting in that sense because you are effectively reading someone else’s narrative. But when you are improvising, you are creating your own narrative. The structures are your own, the registration, the orchestration, the tones, the feeling. That taps into your own creativity, and it taps into your own psyche, and the most exciting thing for me is that I don’t know what I am going to do…”

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

Today’s search for the woman at Camber Sands in East Sussex was called off after she identified herself to the RNLI at 11.45am. A coastguard spokesperson said the reason for the large-scale search, which also involved the police, was because ‘it is a dangerous beach’ and it was reported before lifeguards were on duty at 9am. Read more here.
But it begs the question: can more be done to prevent deaths like the five men who lost their lives on Wednesday at Camber Sands, or the man who drowned in the sea at Bognor Regis?

I doubt I was the only Albion fan that raised an eyebrow when Chris Hughton made 11 changes to the starting line-up for the League Cup tie at Oxford on Tuesday night.
Clearly the competition, along with the FA Cup, has almost become ‘dumbed down’ in recent seasons, with league form taking precedent.
However, for all the Albion travelling support who made the trip to the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday is there an argument that it’s a tad disrespectful to them to expect them to travel to effectively watch a reserve team play? Don’t get me wrong, like everyone else I realise the Championship is the priority and with a huge game this Saturday at Newcastle a number of changes were always going to be on the cards, but a whole team is quite drastic.
Then again, the Albion ran out 4-2 winners and by the time you’re reading this we will know who awaits us in the third round. If it’s a plum home tie, I hope there’s some way that the Albion can reward the travelling support from Tuesday, be it with a couple of free drink vouchers – just something to recognise the away support.
Elsewhere, with the transfer window closing in a week’s time, speculation is mounting about the future of Albion midfielder Dale Stephens. As I wrote a couple of weeks ago, players come, players go, its part and parcel of football, so if Burnley are prepared to pay a reported £4million for the player, the Albion would be stupid to turn it down. The timing is key, if he’s going to go, personally I’d rather he went before the weekend which gives Hughton valuable time to bring in new faces before the transfer window shuts.
Selling him at the 11th hour, while it still brings the cash in, is in some ways counter productive. The Albion have money but a short time frame gives the advantage to any potential selling club, I know the same could be said about Burnley and Stephens but ultimately, if he doesn’t want to play for the Albion it’s time to cash in and Hughton will have an obvious advantage in the transfer market with funds and time on his side.
With Brighton live on Sky against Newcastle this Saturday evening, many Albion fans found their proposed trip to the North East impossible due to incompatible train times. Unfortunately, domestic football sold its soul to TV a long time, it’s something we have to accept and take the money that’s forthcoming as a result.
On the flip side, it does give a leg up to our local non-league sides. Worthing have made a great start in the Ryman Premier and have another home fixture this Saturday with the visit of Grays Athletic, 3pm kick-off.
Albion season ticket holders can not only get into Woodside Road for £5 on production of their Amex ticket, but they can also stay after the game and watch the Newcastle versus Albion game on one of the six TV screens in the main bar.
Well from many thinking, including myself, that the Olympics was going to be an anti-climax with all the pre-games controversy, Team GB return a record medal haul, and put the nation at the forefront of world sport. Apparently Sir John Major needs to take some of the credit with the advent of the lottery and the funding it’s brought to a number of sports. It just goes to show the unpredictability of sport. No one was looking forward to the Games but it’s turned out to be one of the greatest Olympics ever.

Take a leaf out of Kylie Jenner’s book and follow these easy to remember tips to make the most of your pictures;
Tip 1
Try different angles
Most of us have a “good side” and by tilting your head to the right it tends to be more interesting than just a straight on shot and can also be a more flattering angle. Taking a photo from above is also a great way of displaying different angles and can highlight all the bits you want to show off.
Tip 2
Don’t underestimate good lighting and a filter- from black and white to sepia tones- accentuate your features and bring out your inner model with your Instagram filters or just pose with a good ray of sunshine on your face.
Tip 3
Get creative
Take a selfie snorkelling in the sea or the side of a mountain. Not only is the scenery eye catching but you will be the envy of all your friends. Don’t be afraid to use accessorise and incorporate these items into your selfie. New glasses, big jewellery and rings are great at grabbing people’s attention
Tip 4
Use your arms as a frame- whether single armed or using both, let your arms show the rest of your body off, just be careful your fingers don’t cover the lens! If you are not a fan of the extended arm selfie then you should definitely consider a selfie stick.
Tip 5
Show off your personality. Smile, frown, laugh make a silly face or pout- just try and avoid the duckface where possible. When you share your picture let your friend feel the true essence of you.

Curated by Candida, new works created for the show will be introduced from Stephen Chambers, Eileen Cooper, Nicola Green, Annie Kevans, Irene Lees and Jane McAdam Freud. Pieces are also featured from Tracey Emin, Nicole Farhi, Grayson Perry and Marc Quinn. Visitors will be able to see images ranging from The Queen to Kate Moss, Barack Obama to Anna Wintour, Marx and Engels to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Mother & Child to the Moon.
Providing the Obama is London-based Nicola Green who is delighted to show her work in Chichester, a place full of family associations for her. Her contribution to the show is a one-off work from her series In Seven Days.
Coming just as President Obama approaches the end of his second term, it represents the sacrifice and personal toll of his presidency as well as being a reflection of the complex nature of the hope that was and still is projected onto him, Nicola explains. The multiple impressions in the work of President Obama echo the different ways in which the press have represented him with lighter or darker skin colour at various points of his presidential career. Nicola explains, the work questions how these representations reflect the mood of the press and public and their responses to the question of identity and race in relation to the first African-American President of the USA.
“I made this piece specifically for the exhibition but part of the wider series which I made in the two years after 2008. I spent a lot of time with President Obama’s first presidential campaign in 2008. Nobody thought he was going to win. My husband was actually the first black Briton to study at Harvard. He was not there at the same time as Obama, but they met some years later. In 2005, he spent some time with Obama, and I was pregnant with my first child. Obama said he was thinking about running for president, and for me, I was thinking about the kind of world that my son might be born into, thinking about the role models and how their experiences are changed by the colour of their skin and how the world view would be different. And I was starting to think about the long-term implications, thinking about the role models in popular culture – or the lack of them. I was rooting for him as president for myself in a personal sense but also as an artist. I started thinking that my children were too young to witness the moment. In 2008, when he was campaigning to get the nomination, my second son was born. My children were very little, and I felt I really wanted to witness these events on their behalf. I felt that as an artist, I had an opportunity to think about the long-term meaning of the story.”
The exhibition runs at Candida Stevens Fine Art, 12 Northgate, Chichester from Sept 10-Oct 22; Tues-Sat, 10am-5pm.

In their latest statement, Sussex Police said: “Police are continuing to talk with a 72-year-old man who is believed to be armed with a gun inside a property in Harbour Road, Pagham.
“It comes after emergency services were called to the address just after 4pm on Sunday (28 August) to a report of threatening behaviour.

“The 72-year-old man remains in the property alone.”
Detective Superintendent Carwyn Hughes said: “I would like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding while we deal with this ongoing situation.
“Harbour Road remains closed and a cordon around the area is still in place.

“Communication between a trained negotiator and the 72-year-old man in the house continues.”

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

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

As Drip Action theatre company artistic director Bill Brennan explains, once again, the promise is eight different plays at eight different venues over eight different days.
“16 years of eight plays! That’s quite a lot of plays! But people do really enjoy it. There are some people that come along and like to see all the eight plays in one day, maybe because they are coming from further away. But really there is quite a little coterie.
“You see people queuing for the season tickets, and people like to chat about it all. You hear people saying ‘Have you seen the four o’clocker yet’ or ‘I think the two o’clock is the best.’”
As Bill says, the attraction is that standard attraction of sitting down to see a play, wondering what it will hold, wondering what the set will be, what the story will be – except you get that attraction eight times over.
This year saw more than 200 submissions for the trail, their second highest ever: “The plays have come from all over, and really what we are looking for is something a bit different.
“ We are looking perhaps for topics that have not been covered before. Some themes keep cropping up. One year, lots of people were trying to do plays within plays. Really we are looking for something that convinces.
“A lot of it is also down to the fact that it has got to be practical. Some people miss the point and come up with things we couldn’t do or with too large a cast. I would say that a cast of five is pushing it a bit. And then when we say yes, it is still subject to us being able to cast the plays. It is all a bit like a jigsaw. You might get one or two people who will be in a couple of plays, but basically we are looking for 20 actors. It is quite a number to find because they have obviously got to be available, maybe teachers or people who are retired or people who can take the time off work.”
As for the ordering of the plays during the day, to a large extent it is determined by the venues: “We can only have the Town Hall at a certain time, for example. We have got to make sure that the venues are available at that time for eight days. A lot of writers will say to us ‘What venues have you got?’ We have to say to them ‘You write the play, and we will think about the venue!’”
The plays this year are:
11am, Arundel Town Hall, Reading by Simon Brett. How to get really caught up in a book.
12 noon, Arundel Football Club, When Rob Met Artie by Richard Crawley. Men – so predictable?
1pm, Victoria Institute, Rain Falling Upwards by Edwin Preece. What did Beryl come upstairs for?
2pm, Arundel Youth Club. Mörker by Rosie Kellett. Trans: ‘Darkness’. Family diversions and betrayal.
3pm, 57 Maltravers Street. The Good Neighbour by Brian Coyle. Vigilance has its own reward, sometimes unforeseen.
4pm, St Mary’s Gate Inn, First And Last by Mark Wakeman. At a cafe table, the past re-echoes.
5pm ,The Cathedral Centre, Ripe For Improvement by Hilary Spiers. Buying a house – a cat and mouse game?
6pm, Arundel Jailhouse. Deliver Me O Lord by Lindsey Williams. A mother confesses.
Season tickets are available from: The Book Ferret, 34 High Street, Arundel; 01903 885727. Full details of the Arundel Festival are available on www.arundelfestival.co.uk. This year’s festival runs from Aug 20-29. | http://www.shorehamherald.co.uk/news/arundel-festival-theatre-trail-returns-1-7526910 | en | 2016-08-15T00:00:00 | www.shorehamherald.co.uk/cddc20e6c513ccd2aad4f3e2366a6ddaf84594b4c62778ea989c982af55fd6f7.json |

Fast bowlers George Garton, Stuart Whittingham and Jofra Archer have all emerged and played their part in both red and white-ball cricket.
Chris Nash. Sussex v Hampshire, NatWest T20. Picture by Phil Westlake SUS-160717-110048001
But coach Mark Davis still relies on a core of experienced players – none more so than opening batsman Chris Nash who, along with skipper Luke Wright, is the last survivor of the team which became serial trophy winners a decade ago.
Nash was seriously considered for the captaincy when Ed Joyce stepped down at the end of last season but Davis opted for Wright instead.
The 33-year-old instead poured his energies into re-booting his technique in South Africa under the guidance of Gary Kirsten and on making sure he and Joyce gave Sussex a strong platform in the County Championship.
At Cardiff this week the peerless Joyce passed 1,000 runs for the ninth time in his career and, all being well, Nash will join him on that landmark after making 132 in the first innings against Glamorgan to move onto 994 runs.
Job done, according to Nash.
“At the start of the season we knew it would be a transitional season and that the senior players had to stand up,” he said.
“Ed Joyce and I have put a huge emphasis on our opening partnership and for him to go past 1,000 runs already and me to be on 994 is just what we wanted really, and there are still four more games to go to push on.
We have put a lot of the onus on ourselves to get off to good starts because it takes a bit of pressure off some of the less experienced guys behind us in the middle order.
“I was delighted with the way I played because, on the second day, Glamorgan bowled outstandingly.”
With Essex beating Leicestershire in three days to stretch their lead at the top, Sussex probably need to defeat Glamorgan and win another three matches to have any chance of finishing in the one promotion place.
The likelihood is that Sussex will still be in the second division next season but it remains to be seen whether Joyce, who turns 38 next month, will be striding out with Nash to open the batting.
Davis and Joyce, who is out of contract at the end of the season, will sit down soon to talk about the future but Joyce might be tempted to extend his stay so he can finish his career with 50 first-class hundreds. He is currently on 45.
Meanwhile Nash was among several Sussex players to offer messages of congratulation to coach Phil Hudson, who played club cricket at Horsham with Nash, and his Sussex under-15s after they beat Staffordshire on Thursday to win the Royal London National One-Day final at Kibworth. Among the Sussex team was opening batsman Scott Lenham, who could one day continue the family tradition which is woven into the fabric of Sussex cricket.
His father Neil and grandfather Les both played for the county - as opening batsmen.

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

A study of 1,500 Brits exploring the influence of packaging and branding on shopping habits found that one in six people thought the Coca-Cola bottle was the most identifiable in terms of packaging.
Indeed, it was deemed to be just as recognisable without its logo or the product itself.
The research, commissioned by Easyfairs, organisers of Packing Innovations and Luxury Packaging London, found the Toblerone triangular chocolate bar finished as a close runner up, with Marmite’s glass jar rated as third-best-loved product packaging.
Beauty brands, such as the Tiffany Box and the Chanel No.5 Bottle just missed out on the top ten.
Coke’s success has been attributed to its targeting younger audience, with one in five Millennials selecting the bottle as the most recognisable pack product.Pringles’ iconic cylinder tube, fourth on the overall list, was the Millennial’s second favourite.
The study also revealed barcodes as the greatest packaging invention, ahead of more traditional items such as the cardboard box (21 per cent) - although the younger generation, 18-34 years, voted for 3D printing and re-sealable zips as its top two.
Gerry Sherwood, Event Director for the Easyfairs’ Packaging Portfolio, who commissioned the survey, said: “Millennials have officially passed Baby Boomers as the largest generation in history, and are more personally connected to their favourite brands than ever before. It is therefore not surprising to see 3D printing come out top in our poll for this age group.”

Now, for the Arundel Players’ Arundel Festival production, comes Stuart Smithers.
He will be stepping into Hector’s shoes in his own wife Dawn’s production of Alan Bennett’s The History Boys from August 20-27 in the Players’ own Priory Playhouse.
Set in the early 1980s, the play follows a group of history pupils preparing for the Oxford and Cambridge entrance examinations under the guidance of three teachers with contrasting styles, among them the charismatic but controversial Hector.
“It is written with a lot of sympathy, and I think there is a lot of Bennett in the character,” says Stuart. “Bennett is a writer who tends to give his characters a lot of his own ideas, and Hector is an attractive character.”
As for Hector’s paedophilia: “He knows what he does, and there is no excuse, but the play tends to skate over it, rightly or wrongly.
“I know some people don’t like the play. Opinions are polarised. But I love it, and I would in no way condone paedophilia which is absolutely revolting, but what Hector says about education is fascinating.
“What he is saying is that education is far too narrow. It is all aimed at people succeeding in exams and jumping through hoops and that if you want to get on, that’s the only way to do it. But Hector says that exams are the enemy of education. Superficially, I find that quite attractive, but the reality is that we have got to have exams.
“But he is a maverick, and he develops a relationship with the boys, apart from the physical side, that develops their interest in a wide range of subjects that they would not normally have encountered within the usual curriculum.”
Other characters within the play give the opposing, more exam-based view: “I think that Bennett is very fair in giving both sides of the argument.
“But the point for me is that it is a joy to play. It is a joy to deliver those lines. I think that is why the top professional actors love doing Bennett and love it for good reason.
“I have done one of his Talking Heads twice now. I did one 15 years ago and then I played the same one again quite recently, and I love watching his stuff.”
For Stuart, this latest Arundel Players role is another happy chapter in an association going back decades.
“I joined the Arundel Players when I was 23, and I am 61 now. That’s a lot of years! I have been a member the whole time, and for most of that time I have been with them.
“I did have a brief period when I was acting more in Brighton, but I definitely do more in Arundel now. I like the people there. We have got very good friends that go back a long way within the company, and that’s the main reason.
“But also the theatre they have got is just a joy. To have the facilities that they have got and to be able to act on that stage is just great, with the variety of the shows that they do.”
Tickets via www.arundelplayers.org.uk.
Alongside his own Arundel Festival appearances on stage, Stuart is also the writer of the Arundel Players’ daily late-morning offering, An Empty Room – August 22-27, with performances at 11am.
Tickets for the morning show are not available in advance. They are available on the door on the morning of each performance only. | http://www.shorehamherald.co.uk/news/arundel-festival-controversial-but-charismatic-part-1-7526943 | en | 2016-08-15T00:00:00 | www.shorehamherald.co.uk/a01c9740058d2d8fa51fbb65317d98fea42f8ed821ce031739311f77227bcb1b.json |

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

Raiders overcame Guildford 57-10 in a friendly on Saturday and are now just over a week away from playing their first National 2 South game of the season at Exmouth.
Coulson said: “The pleasing aspect from Saturday was we were trying to put into practice some things we had been working on in training.
“The game wasn’t as one-sided as the scoreline may suggest as we were put under quite a lot of pressure at times.
“We’ve got four more training sessions between now and Exmouth, so we’ll look to go there and hit the ground running.
“Ian (Davies), Jody (Levett) and I are very happy with how things have gone in pre-season so far. We’ve changed a number of things but the squad is much the same as last year.”
A couple of new players have joined Raiders’ squads and the club will also welcome loan players from Harlequins again this season.
Charlie McGowan, after a year out, and Jamie Redmayne, after missing much of last season through a knee injury, are back involved with the team.
Coulson said: “They’re like two new signings and it’s great to have both of them around.
“We expect Charlie to be back involved around October time as he’s still getting back up to full fitness after his year out.
“Jamie had a good run out on Saturday and looked very good. We missed him a lot last year when he was out injured as he’s a very good player and very experienced.
“We’ll also have a couple of guys coming down from Quins again, which is a nice stepping stone for their careers and we’ll look forward to welcoming them here.”

After losing their opening game of the season 2-0 at home to Bosham on Saturday, United thrashed Rottingdean Village 6-0 on Tuesday evening.
Mark O’Regan gave United the lead inside a minute, before he made it 2-0 on 15 minutes. Grant Thetford then netted on 27 minutes to make it 3-0 at the break.
Tom Donnelly made it 4-0 with a superb solo goal on 55 minutes, before he scored with a diving header from Dan Measom’s cross on 75 minutes.
Josey Stakim completed the scoring five minutes from time.
On Saturday, second-half strikes from Alex Barnes and Marco Giambelardini took Bosham to victory.
Few chances were created in a swirling wind and torrential rain in the first half. Bosham defended superbly and showed why they had the second best defensive record last season.
Barnes punished some lacklustre United defending to put Bosham ahead on 57 minutes.
United looked to get back into the game but Giambelardini struck seven minutes from time to seal all three points for Bosham.
United boss James Baker said: “Saturday was a tough one for us against a well-drilled and organised Bosham side, who were the better team on the day.
“We were playing into the wind in the first half but with the wind in the second half, we kept on over-hitting passes as we were trying to force things too much.
“It was then nice to get the three points on Tuesday. We scored three goals in the first 20 minutes but weren’t happy at half-time despite being 3-0 up. We then turned it on in the second half and went up through the gears.
“It was a really good team performance and Karl Gillingham, in central defence, was an unsung hero for us as he won header after header.”
United are away to Sidlesham on Saturday (3pm) and then travel to Montpelier Villa on Monday (11am).
UNITED v Rottingdean: Allfrey; Dixon, Gillingham, Dawson, Church; Bailey, Page, Thetford; Donnelly, O’Regan, Stakim. Subs: Measom, Cockerton, Franks (all used), Hunt, Tuppen.

Ferring crashed to an 18-0 opening-day defeat at Jarvis Brook on Saturday, before they suffered a 15-1 reverse at home to Bosham on Tuesday. Despite those heavy losses, Harnes – who had to put together a squad after taking over in the summer – has confidence that his determined side will turn things around.
He said: “It was a lot better on Tuesday than the Jarvis Brook game but it’s still the same story as we’re working hard to put a team together.
“The lads are working hard and not getting much of a result out of it. We lost again but at the same time the determination of the lads will help us to progress and grow.”
Jack Neave scored Ferring’s goal against Bosham, making it 2-1, before the visitors ran out comfortable winners.
Harnes’ side host Rottingdean, who lost 6-0 in their last game, on Saturday.
He said: “Rottingdean is going to be interesting as they were stuffed in their last game. We’ve got the mentality to try to get a result.”

This year, the event will run across two days, starting on Sunday, August 28 and finishing on Monday, August 29.
We have always been delighted by the support for the Rotary carnival from local businesses, tourists and of course residents Sue Worthington
The carnival preparation is already in full swing and this year it will include a car show, beach market, live music and entertainment featuring a family festival day with interactive workshops and live performances.
The carnival, which is free to attend, will also have a circus theme with entertainment provided by Circus Pazaz and his performing friends at 4.30pm each day.
Around 2,000 people are expected to attend on each day – particularly the procession on the bank holiday Monday, which takes place from Grand Avenue to Steyne Gardens in Worthing town centre.
Children will be given the opportunity to learn to tightrope walk, juggle, hula hoop, spin plates, face paint, stilt walk and much more.
The carnival will also have stiltwalkers, morris dancers, acrobats, facepainting, balloon market, tea tents, dog shows and stalls.
Sue Worthington, chairman of the Worthing carnival committee said: “We have always been delighted by the support for the Rotary carnival from local businesses, tourists and of course residents.
“Rotary carnival 2016 hopes to make this a family weekend to remember by creating even more opportunities to fundraise and ensure everyone has a chance to get involved with the festivities.
“We are all very excited and looking forward to the summer.”
Since its beginning, the Worthing Rotary Club has raised more than £49,000 for the Ferring country centre and other good causes.
The carnival has also contributed towards the RNLI, the Worthing homeless, Polio Plus, Marie Curie, the Cleft Lip Association, Water Aid, Shelter Boxes and many other charitable organisations.
Last year, the carnival raised £3,314 for Rotary funds as it expanded across the three day bank holiday weekend, with the money being distributed to local charities.

Spokeswoman Madeleine Wadley said: “Commissioned by the World Wide Fund for their 50th anniversary, One Sun, One World has an environmental theme that reaches out with a message of hope for the future of the natural world and humanity’s place within it. The musical takes the audience on a journey through the great forces of earth, the power of the sun, the ocean tides, wind patterns, the miracle of rainfall and a web of cold and heat.
“One Sun, One World has been chosen as a musical memorial for Joe Costa, a larger-than-life, well-loved member of the choir and Littlehampton local community who lost his battle for life in February.
“Joe was born in Singapore in March 1940 during the Japanese occupation and was the youngest of five children. His father was Spanish and a civil engineer who had been posted to Singapore prior to the war and unable to return to Spain. He met Joe’s Vietnamese mother while travelling. She was very strict with her children to protect them from the soldiers and died ensuring they had food daily. Joe remembered little about Singapore except the Japanese encampment near the village where he lived, Jalan Seyom. Joe spoke several languages – Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and English and was looked after by his step-sis. They immediately took him out of education and used him as a household servant. When his sister returned she sent Joe back into full-time education under the care of a French priest at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd.
“Joe lived there and served at services held in Latin, later gaining work experience as a messenger and later in a shoe shop. Joe wanted to emigrate and the priest encouraged him to save hard for his journey and kindly gave him half the money. At the age of 15, Joe finally secured what proved to be a traumatic sea passage, alone but befriended by a Vietnamese man. Joe had met an Englishwoman prior to his departure who had him encouraged to visit Newcastle-upon-Tyne to see her parents. His journey took him via Genoa, Marseilles, Dunkirk, Dieppe, Dover and finally a train to Newcastle. On arrival he discovered the Englishwoman was staying at her parents home and they set about making a safe life for Joe, helped him secure a job at the Royal Station Hotel and wanted to adopt him.
“Joe Costa met his future wife Eva at a dance hall in 1960 and within six months of meeting they were married. In 1966 they moved to Colchester where they lived for 38 years where Joe worked as an engineer. Following redundancy the couple set up tea rooms which they ran for several years before moving to Selwyn Avenue in Wick in 1995 with Joe obtaining work at Euro-therm and Eva at Hi-Tech. Joe retired at the age of 68 due to ill health. He loved his family, his many friends, gardening (winning awards in the Littlehampton Town Garden Competitions), cooking - famed for his curries, profiteroles and lemon drizzle cake. Joe and Eva attended Wick Chapel for a few years and then Parkside Evengelical Church where he played in the music group.”
James Rushman, musical director for the Edwin James Festival Choir, said: “Joe and Eva joined the choir seventeen years ago. Our motto is Music is Life and it certainly was for Joe who not only sang but played the oboe, clarinet and keyboard. He became very accomplished and joined The Littlehampton Town Concert Band and the music group at the church. Joe was small in stature but big in heart. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him and he will be remembered by all who met him as a gentle man with a big heart. He loved the choir, his music, the concert band and was a loyal friend. His big smile, Geordie/Asian accent and tam-o-shanter will long remain in the memory of all who knew him, not to mention his famed lemon drizzle cake.”
The Edwin James Festival Choir will be performing One Sun, One World on Saturday, August 27 at the Parkside Evangelical Church at 4pm. There is no admission charge but there will be a retiring collection in aid of St Barnabas Hospice. All are welcome.
The Edwin James Festival Choir rehearse every Wednesday evening from 7.30pm at St James’s Church Hall, East Ham Road, Littlehampton, and prospective members of all ages are welcome to visit. More information from www.edwinjamesfestivalchoir.co.uk. The choir is currently rehearsing the Faure Requiem, Goodall’s Every Purpose Under the Heaven as well as Rock Nativity by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent. | http://www.shorehamherald.co.uk/news/littlehampton-in-fond-memory-of-joe-1-7539218 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.shorehamherald.co.uk/c4d86ed1d754be952e741fa3b7dd42ec7e6becf075acd5d9a8b22a288192638a.json |

While looking through my library I came across a document I did not recall seeing before.
Outside Constables Brewery in Queen Street, early 1900s
It contained random reminiscences of life in Arundel in the early part of the 1900s, written by Alfred Peckham.
Alfred was born in 1905 and put these memories to paper in 1985, four years before he died.
To read the first part of Alfred’s random reminiscences, click here.
Shops
Mrs Bennetts shop at the bottom of Maltravers Street
Alfred remembers the wonderful olde-worlde grocery shop belonging to Miss Watkins on the corner of Tarrant Street and Maltravers Street that is now La Campania Restaurant: “It should have been preserved as a national monument.
“It had sacks of grain, corn and suchlike on the ground around the counter, numberless hams (the shop was renowned for smoking its own bacon in the smokehouses at the rear of the shop), strings of onions and other produce hanging from the rafters, huge decorated metal containers for tea, huge cheeses and mounds of butter, and an all-pervading lovely smell I fear has gone forever from grocery establishments now.”
A very popular grocers was Bennett’s, located at the bottom of Maltravers Street.
Alfred has the following fond memories of the goodies the children purchased there: “We would spend our weekly penny at Mrs Bennett’s shop and huge supplies of sweets could be got for this.
Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk, in 1909
“Liquorice strips were perhaps the favourite although there was also brandy balls (gobstoppers).
“A small handful cost a penny and each one changed colour as you sucked it and it got smaller until it disappeared.
“Sherbet dabs were lovely – a round flat sweet on a stick and a tube full of sherbet powder and you dipped the stick in and sucked until the sherbet was gone and then you ate the sweet.
“The only thing we did not eat, despite our good teeth, was the stick!”
Watkins & Co in Arundel High Street
During his time in Arundel, Alfred lived at the top of King Street near a grocery shop run by the Burchell family.
In the early 1900s, William Burchell was known locally as ‘Billy Split-raisin’ as he was allegedly so mean he would split a raisin in half to balance his scales.
Alfred said: “On the corner of Bond Street and King Street, opposite our house, was a small grocery store and in the side window there was, for many years, a bottle of Camp coffee complete with the soldier in kilts on its label. We kids used to admire this very much.”
Traffic
Alfred notes that the traffic was all horse-drawn carts and timber wagons in the town, at least up until the First World War.
He recalls seeing the great logging wagons coming down the upper London Road or the Chichester Road: “They had a pair of great draught horses, pulling a kind of two-wheeled pivoted platform with the driver sitting on it, usually on one of the shafts attached to the horses.
The Great Hall in Arundel Castle
“This was connected to a pair of heavy wheels, with another platform, about 15 or 20 feet behind by a great axle, like a telegraph pole and would contain anything up to six huge tree trunks.”
Apart from these vehicles and traps and carriages, the only other horse vehicle Alfred could remember were the Sparks and Sons furniture wagons that would occupy a good half of the width of the street and delivered to and from Sparks Auction Rooms in Tarrant Street.
He had little recollection of motor vehicles coming to Arundel other than tourists arriving by charabanc, a sort of early bus.
Religion and Christmas
Arundel was, and still is, the main residence of the Premier Duke of England, the Duke of Norfolk, who was also, “the leading Roman Catholic in the country.”
Alfred continued: “Duke Henry, who built a huge Roman Catholic church at the top of King Street (elevated to the rank of cathedral in 1965) was still living when I was a child, and I remember the Christmas parties he held in the castle for the Arundel children.
“On one night the Roman Catholic children had their party and the Protestants on the following night – possibly due to lack of room but more likely to avoid battles between the various creeds.”
This traditional party was held at the castle in the Great Hall, now better known as the Barons Hall, which was decorated for the occasion with a large Christmas tree and roaring log fires.
I suspect, however, it was the main event of the huge feast that most children looked forward to.
Traditionally this was always presided over by the Duke, who Alfred remembers as “an imposing bearded figure.”
During this period there was a large division between many Protestant and Catholics in the town, each having their own churches and schools, and just like Alfred I can recall my own schooldays in the 1960s and how, “from the school, we all marched in a long crocodile up Maltravers Street, over the road and up the steep Parson’s Hill and from there turned right and along to the old St Nicholas Parish Church.”
Here, Alfred and his classmates, “sat in several rows of pews to the right, by the side of the choir, where in winter our feet dangled over the stone-flagged floor and we suffered agonies from chilblains, very prevalent in those days.”
Fairs
Twice a year a huge circus/fair would come to Arundel and was given permission to set up in the old ‘Cows Field’ which is now mostly covered over by the western roundabout that forms the end of the A27 relief road.
In Alfred’s words: “There was rather a wet field and a stream ran through it (the Spring Ditch) which came from the water cress beds on the other side of the stone-walled causeway.
“We were allowed to go and have rides on the roundabout and I remember so vividly the magnificent mechanical bands on the inside with figures playing instruments and banging drums, all driven by the electricity generated by the great steam-driven traction engines.
“We could hear it playing even from the top of King Street.
“The one tune I can always remember it playing was ‘How yer gonna keep them down on the farm.’
“Oh, wonderful memories.”
The coal cart accident
This incident appears to have been so memorable that it has gone down in Arundel history to be recalled second and third-hand, always with a different twist, often by relatives of those who lived in the town at the time.
The following is Alfred’s recollection of the sad event, which is not for the faint-hearted: “A coal cart used to deliver coal starting from the top of King Street as the hill being so steep.
“The coalman had to fix brake shoes or skids under the back wheels of the cart to help the horse support the weight while the coalman delivered the coal.
“These skids were sort of iron shoes attached to the cart by iron chains and were slipped under the front of the back wheels.
“Thus the back wheels were blocked and when the horse pulled, the cart would slide rather than roll down the hill on the skids.
“One day we heard a great shouting and clattering out in the front.
“We ran out into the street to see what was happening, but were too late.
“It seemed that the horse was frightened by something before the skids were fixed and bolted down the hill.
“The bottom the hill is very steep with a sharp bend and leading to the T-junction of Maltravers Street that had a high solid stone terrace on the opposite side.
“The poor horse could not have had a hope in heaven of pulling up and so ran full tilt into this wall with all the weight of the loaded coal cart behind it. The aftermath is best left to the imagination.
“This tragedy for the poor horse and the coalman, who had lost his livelihood, was the talking point for days.”
I will allow Alfred to conclude this month’s article with a short comment on traffic in the town during his childhood – a topic that can still be very relevant yet emotive in our day.
One can only imagine our now busy town when, “the idea of there being any danger never entered our heads as there was little danger in slow-moving horse-drawn traffic.”

Tracey Rae, rehoming centre manager at Dogs Trust Shoreham said: “Don’t be fooled by her age, Angel she acts much younger and would suit owners who enjoy long walks.
“She is a very sweet girl who enjoys having a fuss. She would make a great buddy to relax on the sofa with at home.
“She is a smashing girl and will make a really fun addition to her new home as she has so much love to give.”
Angel is looking for a home with teens aged 14-plus and owners who have plenty of time to spare. An enclosed garden is needed and quite walking areas are advised, as Angel prefers human company to mixing with dogs.
Angel is a real water baby and loves to visit the beach to play in the water.

A festival is a great place to discover new music, but for those on the line up it doesn’t offer the same opportunities to go and see singers and bands perform.
Jack Savoretti by Rebecca Miller
“I don’t always get to see many people when I play a festival,” admits singer Jack Savoretti. “You turn up, set up, play, and then head off again, but it is magical when you do stumble across that one act.
“Although I did go across a field at Glastonbury to see Lionel Richie, you can’t be in the same field as that guy and not experience All Night Long live.”
Playing a number of festival dates this year, most of the songs will be from Jack’s last album Written in Scars, which originally came out in February 2015 but was re-released in September 2015.
“I added new songs which I didn’t want to include on the next album as we were still getting quite a lot of buzz,” he explains. “I still wanted people to enjoy and experience it.
Jack Savoretti by Rebecca Miller
“I felt as if the new songs were acting as a bridge between this album and the next one.
“I also wanted to include some live songs from a gig in Rome so people could relive that experience.”
A new album is in the works, but Jack admits he is keeping the details ‘close to his chest’.
“All the ingredients are ready, the oven is heating up so I just have to put it all in and hope we don’t burn it,” he laughs. “The album is pretty much done. It will be out, hopefully, at the end of this year, but realistically I think it will be next year.”
However, fans hoping to hear some new material at the up and coming live events will be left disappointed.
“I used to play new songs at gigs to test them out, but if it didn’t go down well a song with potential would get shelved,” he adds. “I don’t want to massacre a song before it has time to be finished.
“I have a team around me that I trust so I don’t feel the need to test songs with an audience until it is ready.”
With four albums under his belt it also means that Jack has the pick of people to work with.
“I have a lot more control over what I do now and a number of people I can work with,” he reveals. “So I know who I want to call and sometimes writers and producers will get in touch with me and want to work together.
“There have been times in the past where I have done things to be polite, but I feel more confident doing what I want now and working with who I want.”
Being touted as the ‘next rising star’ when he was 20, Jack quit the music business at the age of 26.
“As soon as I said, ‘screw this’, I couldn’t stop writing,” he recalls. “I wrote out of anger, although the songs were more of a cry for help.
“It was the best, most personal music I’d ever made. I realised I had really learnt how to write, how to express exactly what was in my head.”
What followed was the critically-acclaimed album Before the Storm, which was followed up by Written in Scars.
Born to an Italian father and an English mother, Jack’s heart very much belongs to the home of his father.
“I see myself more as Genoese than Italian to be honest,” he smiles. “I see my hometown as Genoa and I support its football team.
“Italy is such a beautiful place and I love visiting and playing gigs there as often as I can.”
Having played a number of gigs both here and Europe, Jack says there are differences between the two when playing festivals.
“Culturally in the UK festivals are really interesting,” reveals Jack. “People just want to get involved and experience it all over here.
“Some festivals you will have people who come to see you or have heard you on the radio and others that have no idea who you are.”
Let’s just be thankful that four years ago Jack had that inspirational burst rather than doing plan B - getting a proper job.
Jack plays Victorious Festival in Southsea on Sunday, August 28. Victorious Festival takes place on Saturday, August 27 and Sunday, August 28. The line up includes Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Mark Ronson, Editors, Izzy Bizu, Manic Street Preachers, Annie Mac, Travis, Boomtown Rats, and Echo and the Bunnymen.

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

Mankind Divided and so am I when it comes to reviewing the latest Deus Ex game after its launch last week.
There is so much to rave about in DEMD and I’m still enjoying it now over a week into the game.
But there are a number of elements which do not quite sit right with me.
Let’s start with the positives, though, and there are plenty of them.
There is layer upon layer in this game all expertly crafted together and beautifully designed.
The gameplay stands up to the high standards set by previous Deus Ex games and goes beyond them in many respects.
This is a game that will suit all types of gamers too.
Looking for a quick blast for an hour, you can jump on and get enough done to enjoy the experience, looking for longer, more involved sessions on your console then the gameplay rewards your patience, curiosity and creativity.
You play augmented human Jensen who is essentially the most deadly Power Ranger on the planet. I mean this guy has everything and would even give Superman a run for his money.
There are so many options to negotiate each scenario
And this is where my first problem lies with DEMD.
Sometimes, dare I say it, there are so many options available to you, so many ways to deal with scenarios and enemies and so much in your arsenal, it actually feels a bit ... easy.
‘Ramp up the difficulty setting!’ I hear you cry.
Well yes there’s that but my point is no matter what level you are playing at, Jensen just has too much at his disposal for his enemies to trouble him.
Sometimes, dare I say it, there are so many options available to you, so many ways to deal with scenarios and enemies and so much in your arsenal, it actually feels a bit ... easy. Damien Lucas, gaming columnist
But don’t get me wrong it’s still great fun entering a room littered with foes and walking out past a pile of them without breaking a sweat.
Another thing that doesn’t quite land for me is the Apartheid type references between the humans (naturals) and the augmented race. It is a poor attempt to give the storyline resonance with real life - for example there are posters dotted around saying things like ‘Augmented Lives Matter’ and it just feels a little frivolous.
I’m being hyper critical, though, and Deus Ex will go down as one of the games of the year of that there is no doubt.

Mussels were made to work hard for a 2-1 win at home to Hassocks in Southern Combination League Premier Division on Saturday, before they eased to a 4-0 victory at local rivals Worthing United on Monday.
Shoreham boss Bryan O’Toole said: “It’s been a really pleasing weekend. Saturday took a lot out of us as it was a tough game against a good side. I was delighted with how we played against Worthing United as we were leggy. We didn’t play great but we started fast and played well from the back.
“I’m really pleased with the lads and playing three at the back as they’ve adapted so well without Niall O’Hagan. We’ve trained tirelessly on the new shape and we kept the ball very well.
“We got the job done but I’ve said to the boys all we need to do is worry about ourselves, I don’t want to know other teams’ results.
“We’ve got to keep doing what we’re doing and I’m really pleased with how the first month of the season has gone. It’s been a really positive start but it only gets harder now as we are at home to Chichester on Saturday, who are a decent side.”
Mussels took the lead after just four minutes at Worthing United when Ryan Storrie raced on to Joe Keehan’s long ball forward and headed over on-rushing keeper Rui Buckland into the goal.
Rob O’Toole had a header from Freddie Barker’s right-wing cross well saved by Buckland on 12 minutes, before Shoreham went 2-0 up two minutes later. Rob O’Toole raced on to Storrie’s through ball and coolly slotted home, with United appealing for offside.
Mussels could have led by more at the break as Joe Keehan fired wide from a corner and Storrie was then denied by Buckland, who was quick off his line.
Shoreham put the game to bed five minutes into the second half when Rob O’Toole and George Gaskin combined for Charlie Pitcher to tap home from 15 yards.
Chances continued to come Mussels’ way and Rob O’Toole shot a penalty wide – Shoreham’s third successive miss from the spot – before they went 4-0 ahead on 64 minutes. Jack Hartley did superbly down the right and crossed for Scott Packer to score from close range and round off a comfortable win.
On Saturday, Gaskin gave Shoreham the lead on 37 minutes with his .. goal of the season. Ben Bacon equalised after a goalmouth scramble ten minutes into the second half, before Mussels were soon awarded a penalty. Thomas Barnes was sent off for a foul but Joe Keehan’s spot-kick was saved.
Shoreham got the winner soon afterwards, though, when Kevin Keehan half-volleyed the ball home from Mitchell Hand’s free kick.
After Saturday’s match with Chichester, Mussels are at Crawley Down on Tuesday.

But when the final whistle blew, the consensus of opinion was that York’s Ebor Festival had been an end-to-end thriller.
Sorry about the footballing metaphors. It seems that not even the Olympics can camouflage the start of a new season. But you know what I mean. Certainly you will if you spent a day or four on the Knavesmire last week, lapping up some of the best entertainment Team GB Racing can deliver.
The trendy riposte to those who object to turning the sport into an artificial singing and dancing circus for the alcohol-fuelled masses is that racing should be fun. Well, if York’s meeting wasn’t fun, packing in as it did top-class, competitive racing, on a majestic racecourse, among sensibly-sized crowds that created a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere, then I don’t what is.
It definitely seemed to float the boats of Irish owners Aidan ‘Red’ Shiels and friends, judging by their wild celebrations after HEARTBREAK CITY’S runaway romp in the Ebor itself. Celebrations that even surpassed those the previous day of another owner, Clive Washbourn, who let rip with abandon when his juvenile colt, CONTRAPPOSTO, flew home to snatch second in the big £60,000 Convivial Maiden as a 50/1 shot.
Fun for those whose passion for racing runs as deep as Shiels’s and Washbourn’s equates to revelling in the kind of performances and storylines that emerged from York’s showpiece festival. Here’s my potted day-by-day review, complete with a handful of horses to follow:
DAY ONE (WEDNESDAY)
When the Ebor Festival was washed out by heavy rain in 2008, Juddmonte International Day became the first of four to be abandoned. This time round, the day belonged to POSTPONED, authoritative winner of the near £1 million Group One.
Roger Varian’s 5yo dismissed doubts not only about the wellbeing and form of the yard’s string, but also, and more significantly, the horse’s dubious record over 10f. One of the rare astute uses of a pacemaker, coupled with an eminently sensible ride by the brilliant Andrea Atzeni, put the fears to bed as Postponed made full use of his stamina to stride clear from the 3f pole.
A tilt at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, for which he would surely have gone close last season but for owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s fall-out with previous trainer Luca Cumani, is the logical next step. However, the outcome was also a welcome shot in the arm for the increasingly maligned King George, with the 2015 winner of Ascot’s great race beating into second this year’s winner, HIGHLAND REEL.
The opening day also featured, albeit in a sub-standard Great Voltigeur Stakes, a similarly convincing performance by IDAHO, particularly as he was only just ready after a break and was given a lot to do in rear. As we identified after the Derby, the son of Galileo is a class act, although I wouldn’t be certain that he’ll appreciate the extra 2f of the St Leger, for which he is now a short favourite. His style of running, his turn of speed and his pedigree all point to his optimum trip being 12f or even 10f.
THREE TO FOLLOW: Mutakkayef, Oceane, La Casa Tarifa.
DAY TWO (THURSDAY)
A swathe of well-fanced horses obliged during the week. But a notable exception was the 2yo Frankel filly, FAIR EVA, turned over at 4/11 in the 6f Lowther Stakes. Excuses abounded, but not from seasoned trainer Roger Charlton, who kept a cool head and wisely suggested that she was simply beaten by a speedier offspring of the great horse and is more of a miler than a sprinter. In fact, the winner, QUEEN KINDLY, looked special, and the runner-up, ROLY POLY, is improving rapidly too.
Improvement is also the key word belonging to SEVENTH HEAVEN, who powered to victory in the Yorkshire Oaks, swamping two top-notch rivals, FOUND and QUEEN’S TRUST, who were travelling much more sweetly. Aidan O’Brien’s filly has stepped up dramatically for hold-up tactics and galloping tracks.
THREE TO FOLLOW: Mustashry, Abingdon, Jadaayil.
DAY THREE (FRIDAY)
As the rain clouds hovered, punters were faced with their worst guessing-game nightmare, particularly for a fiendishly competitive renewal of the Coolmore Nunthorpe. In the end, enough rain soaked one of the fastest 5f tracks in the country to allow MECCA’S ANGEL to treat us to a textbook display of polished sprinting. When sold to the breeding sheds at the end of the season, the 5yo grey will surely fetch a fee of seven figures.
Not for the first or last time during the meeting, the runner-up ran a blinder as well, especially as LIMATO was tackling the minimum trip for the first time.
Half an hour earlier, what a delight it was too to see NEMORALIA back in the winner’s enclosure. If ever there was a Group One heroine in waiting, Jeremy Noseda’s filly is it.
THREE TO FOLLOW: Rivet, Via Serendipity, Another Touch.
DAY FOUR (SATURDAY)
Contrary to public myth, most of Irish handler Tony Martin’s UK plots and raids do NOT succeed. But this one did, with knobs on, as 5lb claimer Adam McNamara was showered with glowing praise for steering home HEARTBREAK CITY in the Ebor.
The 6yo dual-purpose gelding had to share the limelight, however, with Gimcrack winner BLUE POINT, who laughed at criticism of his defeat at Goodwood. Yes, he’d been a beaten odds-on shot on the Downs, but only in a massive step-up in class against the best UK-trained juvenile seen so far this season, MEHMAS.
THREE TO FOLLOW: a real shame that Sandown’s Solario day clashed with York. Hope that, as a result, you didn’t miss the eyecatching runs of Persuasive, South Seas and Cartmell Cleave.
Skelton’s gold medal caps the most colourful of life-stories
All kinds of sports received a boost via Team GB’s record-breaking heroics at the Rio Olympics. And thankfully, racing didn’t miss out, courtesy of Nick Skelton, father of Jumps trainer Dan and jockey Harry, who strode to a glorious gold medal. As a youngster in the mid-1970s and early 1980s, I remember watching Skelton as a rookie rider, under the wing of Ted Edgar, when showjumping was shown on primetime TV by the BBC. His tear-jerking achievement in Brazil, made all the more remarkable by his well-documented broken neck and hip replacement, caps the most colourful of life-stories both on and off horseback. I loved how he deflected credit to his admirable mount, the 13-year-old Big Star. But I will love even more the updated version of his superb autobiography, ‘Only Falls And Horses’.

Ted Donkin (46) and Simon Hill (41no) got the visitors' score up to 145-8 as Harry Gunning took 4-25 in the only Division One game to be completed on a very wet weekend.
But the total was put into perspective by Gunning (55) and Adrian Long (60no) who shared an opening stand of 91 to set up a comfortable victory by nine wickets, the home side completing back to back wins for the first time this season.
Flixton's game at leaders Whitkirk was called off with the visitors at 113-2 in reply to the hosts' impressive 225-0 from 35 overs.
Matthew and Simon Webb shared an unbroken double-century stand, making 108 and 103 respectively at home to fourth-placed Flixton.
The visitors made a positive start in response with Richard Malthouse making 31 and Michael Dennis remaining unbeaten on 44 their side having reached 113-2 when play ended prematurely.
Malton & Old Malton need just eight more points to ensure they will join the leaders in the Premier Division next season after rain denied them likely victory at Osbaldwick.
Thomas Bumby with 3-22 had helped limit the home side to 145-7 off which Matthew Hattee made 41.
The visitors had raced to 83-2 from just 14 overs with Neil Johnson unbeaten on 31 when play was called off.
Beverley Town 2nds' Brad Dobson made 66, to add to last week’s 82 against Harrogate 2nds, as the hosts reached 175-7 against Patrington, for who Jack Eggett took 4-45.
The visitors had reached 10-0 off a couple of overs before the match was brought to a premature end.
Finally spare a thought for Bridlington who travelled all the way to Selby where the sides managed just 14 balls which works out at about 40 miles per over, for the record the visitors reached 10-0.
Charlie Roberts and Neil Elvidge both hit form in Scarborough 2nds' game at leaders Dringhouses in Ebor Division Two.
Roberts hammered 81 and Elvidge was 76 not out as the visitors, who still have a chance of claiming promotion, posted 207-2 declared, Mark Cowell adding 35, the hosts 61-0 when rain called off play.
Pickering 2nds were 27-2 chasing Londesborough Park's 184-9 when the elements halted their clash, Les Welburn having taken 3-41 for the Pikes.
Malton & Old Malton 2nds' game with Yapham was rained off early on, with Malton making 57-2 before play was abandoned, Will Spencer hitting 33.
The standings in the Premier Division remain unchanged after rain played havoc with the latest round of matches leaving sides at both ends of the table frustrated, and everything still to play for with two rounds of matches to go.
Pickering's home match with title-chasing Easingwold ended with the visitors on 102-2 and Stephen Piercy unbeaten on 50, that coming in reply to the hosts 208-6 which included 82 from Isaac Christopher and 36 from Dan Ward.
Beverley Town escaped a likely defeat to local rivals Driffield Town 2nds after play was abandoned with them on 93-5 which included 30 from Jon Vodden and an unbeaten 28 from Robert Fish.
That was after hosts had scored 211-8, Luke Ramsey leading the way with 33 as Jamie Roe (3-61) and Sam Welburn (3-53) shared six wickets. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/york-league-pocklington-sent-down-by-loss-at-sewerby-1-8092928 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/b5ad5517aa0486a5c2632c780b534b1084754117e8b8bd77bfd6788760526fcb.json |

Yorkshire have been there only once, but this will be Willey’s fourth appearance, having made it three times with previous club Northants.
In 2009, Willey was part of the side that lost by seven wickets to Sussex in the semi-final.

He was just 19 years old and had an unremarkable match; he did not bat as Northants totalled 136-6, and then he bowled two wicketless overs for 16 runs.
In 2013, Willey had the antithesis of an unremarkable match when Northants beat Surrey by 102 runs in the final.
He opened the batting and scored 60 from 27 balls with six fours and four sixes, and then he took 4-9 from 2.3 overs, finishing the match with a hat-trick when he dismissed Zafar Ansari, Jon Lewis and Chris Tremlett.
Willey was on the losing side last year when Lancashire beat Northants in the final by 13 runs.
He took 2-21 from four overs as Lancs scored 166-7, and then he hit 24 from 21 balls as Northants replied with 153-6.
As no other Yorkshire player has been to Finals Day more than once, his experience will be invaluable as Yorkshire seek to win the competition for the first time.
“I guess so,” said Willey, who left Wantage Road for Headingley during the close season.
“My primary role with regards to the move to Yorkshire was to try and help improve the club’s one-day cricket, and, hopefully, we are starting to make improvements.
“There will be expectation on me to perform (at Finals Day), but that’s the case with any one-day game.
“It’s a big day out and a great day out, particularly if you’re part of the team that lifts the trophy.”
Willey, one of four Yorkshire players who appeared in the World T20 final against the West Indies in April, along with Joe Root, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid, has made a habit of performing on the big stage.
He did it again when helping Yorkshire book their place at Edgbaston with a 90-run win over Glamorgan in the quarter-final in Cardiff, thumping 79 from 38 balls with seven fours and six sixes.
“I like to perform on the big occasions,” he said.
“Against Glamorgan, I didn’t really have a plan; I just tried to give myself a chance to clear the ropes, and a couple of loose deliveries gave me a platform.
“We’re all looking forward to Finals Day, and fingers-crossed we can win a couple more games and get the trophy.
“We’ve got all our England lads back, which will make it a massive headache for the coaches to pick 11 players.”
The man with the headache is first-team coach Jason Gillespie, who has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal.
But you can bet that one of the first names on his team sheet will be Willey, who has a proven record for lighting up Finals Day.
“Dave’s the type of player who can change a game,” said Gillespie, whose side take on Durham in the second semi-final, with the winner playing Northants or Notts in the final.
“We’ve seen what he’s done for Northants in the past, and he can pick up wickets early and swing the ball, score quick runs and he’s always in the game.
“That’s what I really like about him, and he’s brought a lot to our team.
“We’re delighted to have him because he’s such a positive guy, happy to challenge his team-mates – which is really healthy – and very competitive, too.”
Willey’s all-round ability gives Gillespie flexibility.
He is effectively three players in one – good with the bat, ball and in the field.
“To have someone who’s great in the field, who whacks them like he does, and who opens the bowling gives us so many extra options,” said Gillespie.
“It allows us to play an extra batsman as well.
“The start he gives us with the bat is fantastic, and it’s something we probably haven’t had in T20 for a while.
“It showed with his performance at Cardiff, when people could see why we were so keen to secure his services.”
Gillespie encourages all of his players to speak in the dressing room and Willey will address the team prior to Finals Day.
Yorkshire are keen to tap into his knowledge and know-how in an effort to gain an extra edge.
“Some of our lads haven’t been to Finals Day before, and it will be good to get Dave’s thoughts in the team meeting,” said Gillespie.
“His knowledge of it will be important, and something that we can draw on, and Dave’s the type of player who steps up when needed, and hopefully he can show everyone how good he is again.
“We’ve got a lot of match-winners in our side, and it’s going to be fantastic
“There was a lot of drive and ambition from everyone at the club to get this far in the competition after everyone had written us off – that was a really good motivating tool for us – and we’re just pleased as punch to be in with a shout.”
Ben Duckett hopes Northants can sneak under the radar again, having been part of the Steelbacks side which defied the odds to win the tournament in 2013 and fell at the final hurdle against Lancashire 12 months ago.
Northants face Notts Outlaws in the first semi-final today and are the only side involved in Finals Day who have previously won the competition.
Left-hander Duckett says confidence will be high despite their lack of high-profile players.
“We haven’t got any international stars. Finals Day will be interesting to see who is talked about – Yorkshire,” said the 21-year-old Duckett.
“We just keep going under the radar but smost of our guys love the pressure. We just go out and enjoy ourselves.” | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/sport/cricket/t20-finals-day-david-willey-is-aiming-to-give-yorkshire-the-edge-1-8079713 | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/02581343ba7084e57d99266a63b2382b64572e7b9aee1ef28512932568fdd025.json |

Personally, it was obviously frustrating not being involved after the good work I had done at Old Trafford, I had started to feel like my old self back at the crease. But I was proud as punch for the lads at Scarborough, they put in a real performance against Nottinghamshire after being 60-6 on the first morning and to turn it around on a similar fashion that we did, it followed a similar path to the Durham game at Scarborough last year.
We actually mentioned it on the first morning and last year, we were 90-9 on the first morning and ended up winning in three days and we came through again.
We have played some good cricket at Scarborough over the years and I can only remember losing a couple of games in seven or eight years. We were outstanding again and are getting to the business end of the season and it is very tight at the top of the league.
Middlesex are playing some good cricket. But we have the experience of coming through what we have done for the last few years and if we keep the pressure on and keep doing what we do, we can get over the line and make it three in a row. I am confident that we can do it.
Azeem Rafiq and Andrew Hodd came good with the bat for us when we were in trouble. Hoddy has had a bit of stick throughout the season about his batting from a number of supporters and he came in and showed what he is about and rolled his sleeves up and stuck his chest out.
It is not always about stats; it is about making that match-winning contribution and that is exactly what he did. To get 95, in the circumstances, helps keep the pressure on, given how close the league table is.
Rafiq also showed his prowess. He has got a first-class hundred and I think he made that on debut and I also remember playing a game at Worcester around 2008 and he got a hundred there, but probably never kicked on from that.
It is his way to be aggressive and the situation suited him and probably the best thing to do was attack and that is what he did and it came off.
The bowlers finished it off and it was pleasing to see how ruthless we were. I have previously spoken in this column about missed opportunities in games and not being able to clean the tail up. But our bowlers were outstanding throughout and bowled the right lines and lengths which you need to do at Scarborough.
To be fair, the ‘blotter’ that came from Headingley did its job on the ground. I think it set off a few days ago and it was really slow on the A64, but we managed to get it to Scarborough!
Obviously, it was frustrating to miss out with a back injury. It happened last Saturday when I was in the gym in the morning and just twinged it when I was squatting. I was okay, but then I came and had a bit of treatment from the physio and he treated to loosen it off and it actually made it worse and it locked up and I couldn’t move on Monday.
I had a fitness test on Tuesday morning. I probably could have got through the game if it was just about batting, but I couldn’t have really moved in the field and would have been letting the lads down if I had tried to get through. It has improved a lot since and had we started the game yesterday, then I would have been good to go, really. But unless there is a blip over the weekend, I will be ready for the game at Hampshire next week.
There was at least good news with David Willey’s injury. Looking at it on Saturday night after the Twenty20, I thought he had bust his hand with the size of it and everything. It added up to him breaking his hand and being out for the rest of the season.
It is added bonus that he isn’t and fingers crossed that we can get him back to tomorrow’s semi-final. | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/andrew-gale-outstanding-display-against-notts-left-me-as-proud-as-punch-1-8091926 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/54e60c3fe6e6eb7edd0008519956c9da56796445a4c0d9d1a8c5f91497adbb14.json |

It is hosting a first-class production was delivered by the four main performers, Widow Twanky, Aladdin, the evil Abanazar and Wishy Washy, and kept the girls, aged five, eight and 12, amused throughout.
The star of the show was Wishy Washy, played by the Dale Ibbetson, whose high-energy performance made the audience chuckle, leaving the boos and hisses to be directed at Glynn Mills’ dastardly Abanazar for his evil scheming and wicked plots.
The excellent, traditional ghost routine was one of the high points, with plenty of audience participation in, and at many points throughout the performance, Ibbetson getting the audience, young and old, involved in the musical numbers.
Styletrax Productions panto is on Wednesday, August 17, 24 and 31, all starting at 7pm, with tickets costing £10 for adults and £7 for concessions. Spa box office : 01262 678258.

The White Rose Awards, the UK’s largest celebration of tourism, will take place at the new £11m Hall 1 at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate.
The new Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate.
More than 1,000 guests will enjoy the first awards dinner to be held at the centre’s newly-built exhibition and events hall on November 21.
The ceremony, hosted by Welcome to Yorkshire, will see more than 100 businesses go head to head across 17 categories, more than ever before.
These include gongs for hotels, recognising top customer service and highlighting the winning Taste of Yorkshire.
Colin Mellors, chairman of the White Rose Award judges, said: “Yorkshire’s tourism is a remarkable sector with fantastic hospitality, facilities and produce on offer.
The new Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate.
“Those shortlisted should feel very proud to have been selected against such strong competition. Choosing the eventual winners this year will be a really tough task.”
Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, added: “It is an honour to be hosting the first ever awards dinner at the new events hall at the Yorkshire Event Centre.
“The White Rose Awards always make for a memorable evening, so this year promises to be extra special.”
He said that the entries for the awards had been “exceptional across all categories”.
“The standard of entries just gets better every year, so huge congratulations to all those who have made the shortlist. I look forward to meeting them all in November.
“As the largest celebration of tourism in the UK, the White Rose Awards are a fitting tribute to Yorkshire’s fantastically diverse businesses that work tirelessly to help to make the county number one.”
Last year more than 1,000 people watched Take That superstar Gary Barlow and co-writer of The Girls musical, Tim Firth, being made honorary Yorkshiremen at the awards when they were held at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.

Staff at Red House care home, run by not for profit organisation Hica Group, came together to host cake stalls, tombolas and raffles, raising £350 to go towards purchasing pop-up reminiscence ‘pods’.
The Hica Group, which runs 20 care homes and two retirement villages, recently purchased two RemPods, including a 1950s kitchen and a classic pub to provide new and effective ways to tackle the symptoms of dementia.
The pods had such a positive impact on residents that the group now wants to add as many as possible to its collection.
The pop-up areas, provided by company RemPods, support those with dementia by providing a relaxing environment, encouraging happy memories of familiar, comforting times.
They are fully equipped with authentic furnishings and memorabilia, with some including retro music and nostalgic background sounds to add to the experience.
Red House manager Leah Davies said: “We saw a vast improvement in our residents while the classic pub pod was at Red House.
“Their behaviour changed, especially residents with more advanced dementia.
“They were more calm and content and some residents who are very introverted and don’t take part in activities came to use the pod.
“I think settings like this bring back old comforting memories and they are able to relax.
“After seeing the fantastic impact RemPods have on residents, we wanted to do what we could to raise funds so Hica Group can buy more pods.
“The day was a great success and brought everyone together. The staff residents and their families all had a fantastic day.”
The original investment of a 1950s kitchen pod and a pop up classic pub was made possible after more than 60 staff completed a 10-mile sponsored walk which raised almost £4,000.
Chief executive of Hica, Penni Brown said: “We are very proud of our staff for going the extra mile to fund the dementia pods. Their efforts and dedication perfectly reflect the Shine ethos which is promoted throughout Hica.”
RemPods, which was originally given a £100,000 investment by Dragons Den entrepreneurs Deborah Meaden and Peter Jones, provide care homes, charities, and over 150 NHS sites with pop-up reminiscence rooms including familiar home settings from the 1950s to the 1960s, vintage tea rooms, cinemas and dance halls.

A stunning unbeaten century from Ben Luntley laid the foundations for Cloughton's 188-6 in their rain-reduced 40 overs, the in-form batsman striking a brilliant 114 not out, Jack Hakings weighing in with 38, while Eddie Rounthwaite snapped up 4-43 from his 11 overs.
George Rounthwaite then smacked 46, but top bowling from Gary Jordan (4-47) saw Settrington all out for 176 with eight balls remaining.
Grindale's relegation was confirmed by their six-wicket loss at hme to Brompton, Ross Triffit the star man for the visitors, taking 6-34 to skittle the strugglers for just 74.
Triffit (21) and Karl Theobald (24) then made sure of the 18-point win.
Wykeham cruised to an eight-wicket win at Thornton Dale, Gareth Barnard bagging 4-13 as the hosts slipped to 115 despite a gritty 41 from Dave Scott.
In-form James Bryant then smashed 68 to wrap up the comfortable win.
The game between hosts Wold Newton and Sherburn was evenly-balanced when the heavens opened to halt play with the home side on 76-2 chasing Sherburn's 169 all out, in which Ben Simpson scored a cracking 70.
Cayton 2nds boosted their chances of beating the drop as they moved within two points of third-from-bottom Wold Newton thanks to a stunning eight-wicket win at Staxton 2nds, also placing a massive dent in the latter's promotion hopes.
A swift 52 not out looked to have steered Staxton to an impressive 172-7, but fine batting from Cayton captain Simon Glave and Dave Walker, who hit 83 not out and 63 not out respectively, saw the visitors to a vital victory.
Staithes continued their march to the Premier Division title with a 14th successive win, easing past visitors Filey by 60 runs.
The hosts made it to 221-6 in a match reduced to 37 overs a side due the wet weather, Simon Bowes hammered 57 Chris Morrison struck 48 and Richard Hegarty 47 as the leaders reigned supreme.
David Brannan's 68 gave Filey hope but three wickets from Morrison and 4-41 from Tom Steyert saw the Clarence Drive side dismissed for 161.
Staithes head to second-placed Staxton next weekend knowing a win will secure their third title with a week to spare.
Staxton were made to work hard for their seven-run win at relegation-battling Ebberston.
Left-handed batsman Dave Morris led the way for the visitors with a fine 78 in his side's 188-8, Reece Milner taking 3-34 for the hosts.
Ebberston's Ben Lockey (54) and Eddie Craggs (37) gave Ebberston a fighting chance but 4-33 from off-spinner Linden Gray pegged the hosts back to 181-0 and they remain in the relegation zone.
Gregg Chadwick smashed an excellent 108 as Seamer thrashed visitors Scalby by 131 runs.
Anthony Jenkinson added 50 and Craig Baker 43 as the hosts amassed 257-5, Connor Carson the top Scalby bowler with 3-47.
A stunning spell of 6-31 from Adam Morris and 3-44 from fellow pace bowler Liam Bennett then saw Scalby skittled for 126.
Flixton 2nds boosted their battle against the drop with a two-wicket win at Forge Valley.
The visitors won the toss and opted to bowl and this seemed a poor choice as opener Tom Brough smacked a rapid 43, Nishadh P Wijesinghe 41 and Joe Bradshaw 25.
Flixton refused to buckle and wickets began to fall with Matt Mason taking a superb 6-43 and Connor Stephenson claiming 4-47 as Valley sank to 170 all out in 35.5 overs.
Ehtesham took 4-37 in Flixton’s reply to keep Valley in touch, but 27 from Stephenson and an unbeaten 34 from skipper Mark Shackley saw his team home with 2.4 overs remaining.
Charlie Allott's magnificent century helped Nawton Grange earn a 104-run win at Heslerton.
The batsman smashed seven sixes and eight fours as he made his way to 103 in their 218-8, Paul Kinghorn and Andy Slaughter bagging three wickets apiece for the hosts.
Paul Bowes, who struck nine forus and a couple of sixes in his 70, was the only batsman to shine as his side sank to 114 in reply in the face of fierce bowling from Nick Thornicroft (3-19) and Nathan Marwood (3-31).

Thunder flies clung to the skin until they were swept away with sweaty hands or else flicked off – Subbuteo-like – with sticky fingers.
Spectators sat in shirt-sleeves and sun hats, occasionally raising a drink to their lips or slurping at ice creams, while seagulls squawked and circled the ground, looking for remnants of discarded food.
For much of the long and lazy afternoon, the pin-striped deckchairs in front of the West Stand marquee were vacant as important people enjoyed an extended lunch, occasionally popping their heads outside to check the scoreboard on the popular bank.
All the sights and sounds of Scarborough were present for the start of the 130th Festival, just as they have always been, and the cricket itself was of compelling character.
After half-an-hour’s play, Yorkshire were 21-0 after Notts, the bottom club, took up the right of the visiting side to field first.
Half-an-hour before lunch, Yorkshire, the second-placed club, had sunk to 51-6 after insipid batting and inspired work from medium-pacer Steven Mullaney had nipped out three of the wickets and effected a run-out.
A seventh-wicket stand of 132 in 34 overs between Andrew Hodd (96no) and Azeem Rafiq (74) stopped the bleeding, and even inspired a recovery back to rude health as both made their highest scores of the season, Hodd also making his highest score for Yorkshire.
The wicketkeeper deserved a century, but was left stranded when the hosts were dismissed for 282 deep into the evening session, Notts reaching stumps on 38-2.
On a day when 4,979 spectators gathered in glorious sunshine, it was pertinent to ponder initially who was not playing as much as who was.
Yorkshire were without Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid and David Willey due to international calls, while captain Andrew Gale failed a fitness test on a sore back, with Gary Ballance leading the club for the first time in the Championship.
Gale, who has struggled for runs, therefore missed out at a ground where he has scored 1,372 of them in 19 first-class games at 49, including a career-best 272 when these sides last met in the Championship here in 2013.
For their part, Notts were without pace bowlers Stuart Broad (ankle), Jake Ball (international duty) and Harry Gurney (hip), with the visitors handing a debut to 19-year-old batsman Tom Moores, son of former England head coach Peter Moores, the Notts’ coaching consultant.
Despite their depleted bowling resources, Notts could hardly have wished for a better morning session.
There was a strong element of luck about the first wicket, Adam Lyth run-out at the non-striker’s end when Mullaney deflected a drive from Alex Lees on to the stumps.
But there was nothing fortuitous thereafter as Lees pushed at one from Mullaney and was caught at third slip, Jake Lehmann was caught at second slip driving at Mullaney, and Ballance went lbw to Luke Fletcher playing across his pads.
When Tim Bresnan padded up to Mullaney and Jack Leaning followed a wide delivery from Brett Hutton and was caught at third slip, Yorkshire were 51-6 and in disarray.
But Hodd and Rafiq added 46 in seven overs before lunch, and then they frustrated the visitors in the afternoon, Notts failing to build on their earlier good work.
Rafiq, who has a first-class hundred to his name, gradually grew in confidence to the extent that he contemptuously thumped Hutton for four over mid-on towards the Peasholm Park end.
When he chipped the next ball for four just over a leaping Fletcher at mid-on, Rafiq had his third first-class fifty from 75 balls with eight boundaries, a fitting way to mark a day when he was officially re-presented with his county cap – along with Leaning – by the Yorkshire president, John Hampshire.
It took an apparently controversial decision from Neil Mallender to send him on his way, the umpire adjudging him lbw to Samit Patel, a wicket swiftly followed by that of Steve Patterson, who went lbw to Imran Tahir.
Hodd breezed past his previous best for Yorkshire of 68 not out against Somerset at Taunton three years ago, and he added 88 for the ninth-wicket in 21 overs with Jack Brooks, who contributed 48 from 66 balls with seven fours and a six, Brooks chopping on to Hutton.
When Ryan Sidebottom was lbw to Hutton nine balls later, Hodd was left agonisingly short of a fifth first-class hundred, having faced 185 balls and struck 10 fours.
Notts lost a wicket to the seventh ball of their reply when Brooks pinned Jake Libby lbw, and they would have been 1-2 had Leaning taken a low chance at third slip offered by Moores off Sidebottom.
But Bresnan had Moores caught at second slip by Lyth in the final over as Yorkshire completed a fine fightback.

1.Describe yourself in three words.
Outspoken, laidback realist.
2. What is your greatest achievement?
Definitely my two kids, love them to bits.
3. What would you say to your younger self?
Go on, be a devil, don’t just plump for the safe option...
4. What are your ambitions and aims?
To live a happy and healthy life, and don’t take anything for granted
5. What’s your favourite colour and why?
Turquoise - reminds me of a warm Caribbean sea.
6. What is your first childhood memory?
Being snowed in, on holiday Devon one New Year, my Uncle was a Coastguard at Prawle Point. I answered the telephone in the Coastguard Station little knowing it was the South of England Coastguard Commanding Officer – think I was three years old.
7. What do you like best about the Bridlington area?
The beaches surrounding the Flamborough Headland and Flamborough village itself.
8. Describe your perfect day?
Sat at Lords watching Yorkshire win a one day final then nipping across to Wembley to watch Leeds United win the Charity Shield. One can but dream...!!!
9. Which three people, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?
Bumble, Blowers and Tuffers (David Lloyd, Henry Blowfeld and Phil Tufnell – cricket pundits). They’d be such a laugh, I would chat for hours with them.
10. Who would you like to play you in a film of your life?
Jonny Depp came up on a facebook app the other day about that exact question, but someone like Rupert Grint from Harry Potter is probably nearer the mark.
11. Where is your favourite place in the world and why?
Interlaken in Switzerland – stunning mountain scenery and fantastic lakes, hot summer weather and cracking lightning storms – it has the lot. Would love to go back there sometime in the near future.
12. What is your favourite book and why?
Sir Michael Parkinson’s Autobiography – a fascinating read about his working class background in Barnsley and playing cricket with Geoff Boycott and Dickie Bird and to how he became a chat show host.
13. Who has been the biggest influence in your life and why?
Nobody really – I’ve tended to buck the trend and only do what I want to do – within reason.
14. What is your favourite TV programme and why?
Aside from any cricket match on sky sports I think it has to be NCIS Los Angeles – brill series with fab storylines and believable characters.
15. If you won a million pounds, what would you spend it on?
Instant retirement – I could spend wisely and make it last. I’d have to buy a couple of houses and rent them out as holiday lets until the kids wanted to move out so they have they own homes without struggling to find a deposit.
16. If you could change one thing tomorrow about Bridlington, what would it be?
A lot more big name shops so you didn’t have to go to Scarborough, York or Hull.
17. What three things would you take with you to a desert island?
Satellite up-link, I-pad and a luxury yacht to get off the island when I’m bored.
18. Cats or dogs ... what pets do you prefer and why?
Neither really, I’m not an animal lover, but cats if I had to choose cause you don’t have to take them for a walk in the pouring rain.
19. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Always wished I was a bit taller...
20. What was your favourite year and why?
The year I left school – couldn’t wait to do so in the end...!!!

Ian Phillips, society secretary, said: “We had more visitors this year than we have ever had before with around 350 estimated across the weekend.
“We also has about 10 new members sign up to enjoy the hobby so all in all it was a perfect event for us.”
The free event gives modellers to show off their latest boats om their man made lake ranging from steampowered, yachts and electric crafts.
There was also a chance for visitors to try out the boats for themselves with a simple steering course for children.

The lake is relatively unknown to many, which is signposted off Lancaster Road on Carnaby Industrial Estate.
“The event as a whole was a resounding success,” said Ian.
“I heard quite a few first time visitors say ‘I never knew this facility existed, it’s beautiful’ so maybe it possibly ranks as Bridlington’s best kept secret!”

Kevin Hunt, an electrician from Hull, was working at the home of Gabrielle and Robert Walker in Bridlington when he noticed a Sri Lankan devil mask hanging on the wall.
The mask was given to them by a Sri Lankan man known as ‘Nial’ who worked on an engineering camp with Mr Walker in Iraq more than 40 years ago. Mr Walker asked Mr Hunt, whose wife is Sri Lankan, if he could try to track down the old friend on his next visit to the country.
“I told them we were soon going to Sri Lanka on holiday and they asked me if I would be able to find him,” said Mr Hunt. “At this stage all I had to go on was his name ‘Neil’. To say it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack would be an understatement.”
After the Walkers dug out their invitation to ‘Nial’s’ wedding in 1983, Mr Hunt used the name and address on it to make enquiries.
“The town on the address was Ja-ela. I have friends there so I called them to see if they knew a way of finding this man,” he said.
By chance it turns out that Mr Nihal Perera, the man known as ‘Nial’, went to school with the mother of one of Mr Hunt’s friends. Mrs Walker has since spoke on the phone to Mr Perera for the first time in years. Meanwhile, Mr Hunt has travelled 5500 miles to Ja-ela, Northern Province to present Mr Perera with a card and letter from the Walker family. Mrs Walker said: “It was a very nice to get back in touch again after looking for him for years. Kevin recognising the mask was fate. When we spoke he recognised us straight away.” | http://www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/news/local/mask-that-led-to-old-friends-re-uniting-1-8074140 | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.bridlingtonfreepress.co.uk/32b1ff6efd1087684d32a61ecfc47dd186b99a0eb3dbbfd3912c87ec274d27a6.json |
