Food review: The Barley Mow, Walderton

lot of niceness about them is there? Very little warmth.”

Mrs Gocman, 27, a fashion buyer for Ralph Lauren, and Mr Gocman, 28, a senior recruiter at accountancy firm KPMG, held their reception at a central London hotel in August last year.

The couple were first sent the wrong video, involving a different wedding. It then took nine months before the right one arrived — but the Gocmans claim it was so bad that they agreed to pay extra for the unedited version.

It was only then that they realised the microphone had picked up the videographer’s commentary.

At one point on the unedited reel, Mr Aurelius , originally from Birdham, was heard to say: “Mental, Israeli dancing, isn’t it? There’s a real feeling of, like, they’re better than everybody else. Jewish.” Continued on page 3

Beautiful bride was described as ‘not very attractive at all’

A NEWLYWED Jewish couple have described their disgust at a Chichester cameraman’s anti-Semitic rant on the soundtrack to their wedding video.

Claudia Ressler and Stan Gocman found that it was littered with foul-mouthed, racist remarks from videographer Anthony Aurelius, clearly unaware that he was recording himself.

As he records the ceremony and reception, at a London synagogue, he can be heard telling his assistant: “Some of the Jewish women are very beautiful to look at.

“But I can tell you, they’d be right f****** cows. Very f****** snooty, they’d be a pain in the a**e. Not a very attractive bride at all.”

He also says Jewish people are “the meanest people in the world”, adding: “Not a

Anthony Aurelius and his ‘strange’ apology

Continued from page 1 His assistant said: “That’s why the Holocaust.” Mr Aurelius replied as he filmed the bride from only a few feet away: “I don’t think I blame Hitler.”

The couple, from Edgware, had attempted to sue Mr Aurelius for negligence — but since the wedding in August last year he has closed down his businesses, making it difficult for them to take legal action.

Mr Aurelius has since sent a grovelling hand-written letter and an e-mail to Mrs Gocman.

“I am very sorry for our stupid, childish conversation,” he wrote in the e-mail. “I am also very sorry for offending you and possibly your family also. You did not deserve this. I am ashamed, in honesty.” The letter contained a cheque for a full refund.

Mrs Gocman said: “The comments have left us feeling very upset and very angry.” Her husband said: “He thought we were a lot more wealthy than we are and he resented that.

“I would think that, in this day and age, someone who had done Jewish weddings in the past would be more accepting.”

Mr Aurelius was not available for comment and has since shut his business.

‘Sick’ cameraman exposed

Man cleared of sex act with Chichester hospital patientA HEALTHCARE ASSISTANT has been cleared of sexual activity with a patient with a mental disorder in her Chichester hospital bed.

Sajin Panikkassery, 29, of Langton Road, Chichester, had denied the charge, saying the woman kissed and grabbed him as he changed her bedding.

Brighton Crown Court heard the 22-year old woman, who had a mental disorder, was recovering from surgery.

The hospital trust said it had a duty to its patient to alert police.

Mr Panikkassery had been on duty at St Richard's Hospital in January this year when the woman was admitted with a dislocated shoulder.

The prosecution said he was discovered by another patient who pulled back the dividing curtain after hearing "panting noises".

Mr Fletcher said the patient saw Mr Panikkassery standing beside the woman's bed, and then kiss her on the lips before leaving when he realised he was being watched.

The following morning the woman told staff that a male nurse had made her sleep with him, he said.

Police were called and Mr Panikkassery's DNA was found in samples taken from the woman, he added.

The healthcare assistant told the court the woman had asked him for clean sheets and then kissed him on the lips and put her hand inside his trousers, saying: "It's all right. I love you."

During the trial, prosecutor Marcus Fletcher told the court the woman had been vulnerable and an "easy and obvious target" because she had a mental disorder.

But he said there were "issues about her credibility" and she had previously made false allegations of rape.

She was not called as a witness during the case.

The jury acquitted Mr Panikkassery after two hours' deliberations.

Tweets of the Week! CYBERMAN IN THE PARK

The big white Theatre in the Park is a success. I love driving past it; it looks like a Dr Who Cyberman doing an Easter Island tribute.

OBAMAWATCHThe USA stays in business. But they’d better shut up telling Europe we’ve got rubbish economies, which they do a lot on US radio, because their debt is greater than all the rest of the world’s debt in the history of mankind put together and multiplied by seven. Guys, you make Greece look like Switzerland.

TEACHERS STRIKEThe teachers strike yesterday passed off a bit like any old inset day, round here anyway. There didn’t seem any passion, like when the miners did it. The teachers’ problem is they can’t get het up, because they have to go into class next day and tell children to behave.

JEANSI have decided never to wear jeans ever again. Age thing. I watched a bloke walk past me in North Street and he was probably about my age, wearing jeans and it just looked wrong. I mean the blue denim ones. Bruce Springsteen jeans. You never imagine this day will come, but it must. And it has.

NORWAYThe world’s oceans are set to rise and this

leaves Norway in the driving seat. Their country is protected by hundreds of miles of very high cliffs. So watch out for Norway. They have 3,600 working oil platforms pumping out liquid gold, loads more oilfields yet to plunder. They don’t pay for their own electricity; 98% is hydro-electric. They are the world’s sixth largest arms exporter. All I’m saying is, once a Viking always a Viking. Be afraid, be very afraid.

JEANS 2I will miss wearing jeans. The worse you treat them the better they look. Try that with a pair of Dockers, or corduroy straights. Pick your jeans up off the floor or from the back of a drawer, the more knackered they are the more they look chic. They go with trainers, flip-flops, cowboy boots, and stilettos. Obviously I haven’t worn them with stilettos, but they have caught my eye when others dare. They go with t-shirts, blazers, sharp white shirts. The jeans wearer doesn’t have to plan a natty outfit every day, if he or she can

wear jeans; the rest matches.

IDEASEdible magazines. A hat-share scheme, like the car thing. Combined washing machines/dishwashers/Jacuzzis.

CONFESSIONI fancied a girl so much once, I ironed my jeans. No, I mean I actually ironed a crease down the front of my jeans. For the record she married me. Not for my fashion sense.

PPI CALLERSAny ideas? I’ve been offered a piece of kit for £39.99 which will block cold calls. One lot called me up every couple of days, so I ended up cross with them. Then on Saturdays they’d phone me up and be (I thought) deliberately unpleasant. So I found out from Companies House who their directors were and it showed that they had a merchant bank investing in them. So I called them and used my posh voice to speak to their CEO. Got put through. Told him I was fed up. I got a call next day from the PPI call centre asking for my details to take me off the system. Always pays to talk to the chief wussock.

JOKEMaths isn’t my thirty.Eh?Sorry, my forte...

Police seek South Stoke burglarsPOLICE are appealing for witnesses after a man and a boy were seen cycling away from a burgled home.

At about 5pm on Tuesday 1 October a home in South Stoke, near Arundel, was broken into and items including a laptop and a watch were stolen.

A man in his 40s and a boy of about 16 were seen riding away from the scene on bicycles at about the time of the break in.

The stolen items were found abandoned nearby.

Both were white, tanned and slim with sharp features and foreign accents.

Sussex Police have launched Operation Magpie to tackle burglary across the county.

Detective Constable Jon Tizzard, of West Sussex CID, said: "I'm keen to speak to anyone who might have seen the two

suspects cycling away or who recognises the descriptions of them.

"They did not have the appearance of mountain bikers who may use the nearby South Downs or Monarch's Way and appeared out of place.

"I'd also like to speak to anyone who may have seen people acting suspiciously in the area in the days and hours before the burglary.

"This is an unusual incident in this area so we are asking residents to be vigilant and to make sure that as the evenings draw in that their homes are secure both at night and during the day."

Anyone with information should call 101 quoting serial 1274 of 1 October or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

The assault took place at about 3.20am on Sunday 13 October when he was set upon and suffered a suspected broken nose and other facial fractures.

It is believed that a taxi may have been present during the attack and police are particularly interested in hearing from any driver who may have been present at the

time.Detective Constable Gavin Percival said:

"This was a particularly nasty and cowardly attack as we believe a weapon was used to inflict his injuries. If you saw anything at all please contact us."

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call 101 quoting serial 0245 of 13/10 or email [email protected] Alternatively, call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Woman pleads guilty to £29,000 benefit fraudA BENEFITS cheat received a 12 week prison sentence, suspended for two years, after falsely claiming nearly £29,000 in benefits.

Lorely Day (62), formerly of Oxford Close, West Wittering, had claimed the money for over six years while failing to declare that she had a substantial monthly private pension..

Miss Day claimed £23,369.58 in Housing Benefit and £5,629.69 in Council Tax Benefit between November 2006 and January 2013.

She appeared at Worthing Magistrates Court on Tuesday 8 October and pleaded guilty to charges of dishonestly making false statements or representations to Chichester District Council.

Magistrates sentenced Miss Day to 12 weeks imprisonment, suspended for two years. It was Miss Day’s third conviction

for benefit fraud. She has recently moved away from the Chichester District.

Councillor Tony Dignum, Cabinet Member for Finance at Chichester District Council, says: "Benefit fraud is a very serious crime and we will prosecute those people guilty of it. All income and capital has to be declared, no matter what its source. The benefits system is there to help those most in need, not those who want to abuse it by claiming money they are not entitled to receive."

Chichester District Council will now seek to recover all the overpaid benefits.

If you suspect anyone of committing benefit fraud you can contact the council’s investigation team on a confidential 24 hour fraud hotline number on 01243 534590, or you can report it online at www.chichester.gov.uk.

Council wins its fight to remove illegal worksCHICHESTER DISTRICT COUNCIL and the South Downs National Park Authority have won their fight against illegal works at Three Cornered Piece in East Harting following successful enforcement action.

The land has now been cleared of a widened access track to the land, sewage treatment works, an area of hard-standing and a concrete base.

Councillor Heather Caird, Leader of Chichester District Council, says: “Our enforcement team has worked tirelessly over a number of years for this outcome. Although we’ve had to face a number of appeals, we knew that the courts would reach the right decision and so we were determined to battle on.

“We will do all we can to preserve the beauty of the district and this case sends a clear message that we take very seriously anything that harms the character and appearance of this part of the South Downs National Park. We will not tolerate these breaches of the law and we will take action against offenders when necessary.”

Christopher Francis Searle and Jimmy Roy Searle were ordered to remove the unauthorised works by 16 September following a successful court action by the two authorities in April.

Portsmouth County Court ruled that the Searles had carried out this work, in breach of an injunction granted in January 2010 to stop any further works from taking place.

Andrew Shaxson, Chair of Planning for the South Downs National Park Authority, says: “We work closely with Chichester District Council to protect the special qualities in this part of the National Park. It is very good news that the council’s hard work on our behalf has paid off and that the illegal works have now been removed.”

Chichester District Council served an Enforcement Notice in relation to two mobile homes, one caravan, and stable buildings for residential purposes in 2009. It required the removal of the mobile homes and caravan from the land, which is a greenfield site, and to cease using the land for residential purposes.

The owners of the mobile homes and caravan lodged an appeal against the council’s Enforcement Notice, and the hearing was held in May 2010. The case was then called in by the Secretary of State, who dismissed the planning appeal. The owners then challenged this decision in the High Court but this was rejected in August 2012.

Chichester welcomes global scholars

CHICHESTER’S town crier, Richard Plowman, was on hand last week to welcome six scholars from USA and Canada, over here on post-graduate Rotary scholarships. Rotarians and their guests from clubs throughout West Sussex, south Surrey and east Hampshire joined him at the Chichester Park Hotel to complete the warmest of welcomes.

Chantel Lucas is from Guam, Cady Tolon from Washington DC, Levi Vonk comes from Florida, Alexandra Dawley from British Columbia, Joseph Flores from California and Justin Flynn from Ottawa. Their studies at Sussex University will provide academic underpinning to the careers in international understanding, peace and humanitarian work they will be following in different parts of the world. In addition, and part of Rotary International’s Global Scholarship programme, each will

be visiting Rotary clubs, schools and other organizations around the area, sharing experiences of life in their home countries and fieldwork they have already completed.

The scholars were welcomed by the Governor of Rotary District 1250, Michael Goodridge, and introduced by David Warwick, who co-ordinates the scheme. Grace was said by Stephanie Crowther (President, Chichester Harbour Club) and toasts proposed by Mike Dennett (President, Chichester Priory Club) and Richard Plowman (President, Chichester Rotary Club). Frank West (Assistant District Governor) proposed the vote of thanks.

Previous scholars have come from: Italy, Mexico, Hawaii, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Trinidad & Tobago. Further information from David Warwick on 01243 778026 or [email protected]

A foreign country is like the past - they do things differently there

IS THERE EVER a right time to answer the phone in a cubicle in a public lavatory? Emergencies and questions of hygiene aside what is the protocol? I was waiting my turn in a queue, in a fairly confined space, for the ladies’ loo. Following the customary sounds one expects to hear emanating from a toilet cubicle, we were then treated to a woman’s voice reciting a list of ingredients to a caller for their planned supper that night. If you want to get a sense of the incongruity, think the breakfast scene in Sex and the City where Miranda the lawyer is in the kitchen waxing lyrical to her latest squeeze about the subtle notes of her new cinnamon-flavoured coffee. Romeo is sitting on the toilet reading the paper with the bathroom door wide open. This boor’s sole response to her comments about a soupcon of cinnamon is to pass wind uproariously. At which point, the cat which is in there with him, bolts out like a bat out of hell. Hearing the delights of a pasta dish extolled that

night in the ladies loo, the women of the queue exchange a shrug and a dolorous shake of the head. “It takes all sorts,” says the woman behind me.

Chit-chat Not so long ago a customer complained in a Sainsbury’s superstore in Essex that a cashier had refused to serve her because she was on her mobile. Sainbury’s apologised but social media widely condemned the shopper. Agreed, it wasn’t the cashier who was rude. But, conversely I find I’m also being drawn into overly chatty conversations at the till—and we all know there are days when all you want is to observe common civilities and move on. Once it was only your hairdresser you had to talk to about holidays and the weather.

High bridges It’s only when you get older that you start thinking about that spooky movie, The Mothman Prophecies, when you cross high bridges. Ten years ago, I drove my ancient, cherished soft-top across the Pont de Normandie at Le Havre in France. With the hood down, high above the River Seine’s estuary, the wind roared in our ears. My nervous companion in the passenger seat nearly swooned when I pulled in just the other side of the bridge and the car promptly broke down and had to be towed to a garage.

Now, spooling a series of scenes through

your mind’s eye, of the old bridge in The Mothman Prophecies collapsing into the Ohio, is ill-advised when you are about to trip lightly across the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol on a windy day. Designed with steel girders encased in Egyptian-style towers to hold the suspension cables at either end, this wonder of the Victorian age is more than double the length of any suspension bridge of its time. Walking across it at night, high above ribbons of roads and rivers, you cannot help but wonder at this feat of engineering across the Avon Gorge. Riots interrupted its construction in 1831, finally completed 33 years later.

Hand-drawn beer I was relaxing after a day of crossing high bridges, eating out with my friend Martin, the investigative journalist who’s afraid of estate agents. Martin regards himself as a connoisseur of all things alcoholic. Our waiter’s grasp of English was such that he had to query every word we said, repeating it and turning it over on his tongue in wonder as if he had never heard it before—which he probably hadn’t. Bread? Chip? Beer?

“I asked the waiter if the beer was hand-drawn,” Martin moaned after a glass of golden liquid was solicitously placed in front of him, “but there are too many bubbles in it. The beer was obviously under pressure so it most certainly is not hand-

drawn.”“He didn’t understand a word you were

saying,” I said only half-listening, more concerned with eating, as I’d had nothing all day.

“It’s sweetish and doesn’t taste as it should,” growled Martin, on the verge of making a scene. Other diners were beginning to glance over their shoulder. I threw the offending glass of bubbly beer a casual glance, took a quick sip and said: “that’s because it’s cider. Don’t worry,” I told the waiter, “I’ll have it.” And very nice it was too.

I know what it’s like. I was once a waitress in a foreign land—Greece—and was sacked the same day I was hired after accidentally telling a man in Greek he was ugly. I’d been teaching myself the language for two months and had a classical education but clearly there was a critical deficit in my grasp of de lingo.

And finally What would you do to rescue your contacts? A colleague told me her whole life is in her iPhone. I once dropped my mobile down the loo. And yes, reader, I unhesitatingly pulled it out, cleaned it and dried it in the airing cupboard. An engineer later told me it was only the speed of my reaction that saved my contacts.

Charity auction success for Aldingbourne!WEST SUSSEX Charity the Aldingbourne Trust had a superb night of fundraising on Friday 11 October. The charity raised a brilliant £5,271.60 in their 35th Anniversary Grand Charity Auction, Silent Auction and Raffle.

There were many tempting auction lots and prizes up for grabs and these unique items had a lot of interest on the night. Lucky bidders went home with Spa days, Holiday breaks, Tours around the AMEX Stadium, Family photo shoots, Hampers, Fishing trips and Signed Downton Abbey books. The ‘Wheelbarrow of booze’ got the room buzzing as two bidders fought for the 74 bottles of wine in a wheelbarrow. The Silent Auction was entertaining as people raced to increase their bids before the cut off time, to ensure they won their desired lot!

Aldingbourne Trust would like to thank everyone who supported the Auction, by donating items or attending the event. A special thank you goes to Boxgrove Village Hall and Pat Burton for providing an excellent venue and facilities. The Trust would also like to thank all the staff, volunteers and auctioneer Ken Wheeler for their hard work on Friday evening and in the lead up to the event. A huge thank you goes to everyone who supported the event from donating the items, advertising costs to everyone who had a bid on the night.

Michelle McKinley Bell, the Trust’s Enterprise and Development Manager, said:

“We really appreciated everyone’s support; we had a lot of fun, raised awareness of the Trust and raised a fantastic amount of money towards our £4 Million Fundraising Appeal and it was the perfect way to celebrate the Trust’s 35th Anniversary.”

The money raised at the Auction will go towards the Trust’s £4 Million Appeal. The aim of the Appeal is to raise money to develop the facilities at the charity’s main site – the Aldingbourne Country Centre, and ensure the Trust can become more self

sufficient and support adults with learning disabilities for another 35 years and more.

For more details on the Trust or if you wish to organise an event to help raise funds for the Trust, please contact [email protected]

Continued from page 3 The route, which includes a mixture of road, cross country and cycle path terrain, starts at Chichester College and takes in the historic sites of Chichester, including the Cathedral and the walls. It then leads up to the pinnacle of the South Downs at Goodwood before wending its way back down near West Dean towards Lavant and Centurion Way.

The winner, for the second year running, was Chichester Runners star James Baker who came home in a time of 1 hour, 12 minutes and 25 sec.

He set a new course record after knocking 3 minutes off last year’s record – set by himself!

The fastest woman home was Jen Bishop in 1.28.29 – who is also a member of Chichester Runners.

Chichester Herald’s owner Dean Adams and columnist Denise Kelly were amongst those who took part for charity.

Feedback and comments from www.chichesterhalfmarathon.co.uk show that this year’s race was another well organised success:

Creations go the distance

THE TEAM from Creations Hair & Beauty in Chichester have fought against the French authorities twice and had their trip cancelled due to adverse weather conditions but it has not dampened the spirits of the team.

The original challenge was 10 participants rowing from Dover to Sangette across the English Channel. The challenge would have taken around 5 hours and would have covered 22 miles. So the challenge had shifted to rowing the Solent Marathon, 26 miles from Hayling Island to the Needles in some of the trickiest tides in the UK.

On the 7th of October the team successfully completed the row in 4 hours and 2 minutes smashing the record time of 4 hours 34 minutes! And covering the full 26 miles.

Emma Baines, organiser of the challenge and manager of Creations, said: “We have hosted a tremendous amount of events for the CoCo’s Foundation, and many other events in the past for other charities, this is by far the biggest challenge any of us have undertaken!”

This challenge is all part of the big

fundraising plan for Creations. A team of six stylists aim to raise enough money to further the work of the CoCo’s Foundation and build a house for a family from the Mduku village in the KwaZulu region of South Africa, giving them a new start. Our target is to raise £13,500.

A big thank you goes out from Creations to everyone who has participated in this row, their trainer and coach Mike Gilbert & Shelley Cook from Langstone Cutters, Carolyn Sweeney, Louise Cobban, Jo Barker, Trevor Shepherd, Stacey Merrit,

Mark Bidston, Adam Bidston, Gary Shepherd, and the founder of the charity Chris Connors.

To sponsor the row please visit the just giving page justgiving.com/Creations4cocos. To find out about any events Creations are holding visit creationsinafrica.com. Creations would also be grateful for ANY unwanted clothes, blankets or shoes”

Christmas cards and calendars are a great way to support St Wilfrid’s Hospice

FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS of last year’s bespoke Christmas cards, St Wilfrid’s Hospice has commissioned more original designs.

There are nine beautiful hand-painted local scenes including Arundel Castle, Goodwood Racecourse, the Pier at Bognor Regis, Bosham, Emsworth, East Wittering, Barnham church, as well as the Cathedral and Market Cross in Chichester.

These bespoke cards and a selection of traditional designs are available to buy from the Hospice or any of the Hospice’s shops with prices starting from £2.99 per pack of ten, and can be viewed on the Hospice’s website.

As well as the Christmas cards, St Wilfrid’s has a stunning 2014 calendar for sale, featuring photographs of local scenes

kindly donated by Chichester Camera Club.The club ran a competition for its

members to send their photographs of local scenes in for consideration. These were shortlisted before the final selections were made by the Hospice.

Scenes include Halnaker Windmill, the Itchenor Regatta, Goodwood Racecourse, the pumpkins at Slindon, bluebells in Wildham Woods and lavender at Lordington.

The calendar is priced at £4.99 and is available from the Hospice or any of the Hospice’s shops, or from the Hospice’s eBay site which can be accessed via the retail section on the Hospice’s website.

The calendars will make great Christmas presents and are sure to sell quickly so grab yours early to avoid disappointment!

Swap Shop – be part of the thrift revolution!

ONE OF THE MOST eagerly awaited events on the Transition Chichester calendar is set to take place again on Saturday, 26 October, 10am-1pm, in the Jubilee Hall at the New Park Centre. And we are inviting you to declutter and donate, recycle and re-use, and get nifty and thrifty!

Our quarterly Swap Shop is always hugely popular and a big success with happy swappers walking off with such high quality goods as a baby car seat – which didn’t even make it to the table before it was snapped up at a recent event- beautiful, luxury hats and fascinators, and brand new winter coats – all for free!

It’s simple - just bring along any items you don’t have a home for any more, and pick up any treasures you see on the day.

Co-organiser Sue Gilson said: “If you’ve never been to a Swap Shop before now is the time – it’s the perfect place to donate

any unwanted items you don’t have the time or inclination to sell online, or haven’t had a minute to drop round to the local charity shop. It’s a real joy to witness the reaction first hand of someone who will directly benefit from your donation. We have a whole range of goods, from clothes to furniture to toys – all completely free of charge!”

The event will also be hosting our ever popular Fairtrade café serving sweet and savoury treats, so it’s worth bringing along your wallets and purses to indulge in an ethical treat after a mornings swapping.

Any left-over Swap Shop items will be donated to Stonepillow’s Restore project, which sells on furniture and goods for re-use, helping re-skill those out of work and also fund the fantastic work done by the homeless charity in the Chichester and Bognor Regis area.

Fundraisers ensure harp finds a new home

A HARP has made an impressive first appearance at The Prebendal School in Chichester after joining the ranks of its Music Department.

The instrument was purchased thanks to hundreds of pounds being collected at the Summer Concert, department fundraising, the school’s PTA and in particular to two families, the Chapples and the Sherrens, who held a special fundraising concert in the school holidays.

Professional harpist, Nicola Veal, has also joined the school in West Street to give lessons to the pupils. She says her love of

the instrument began very early on: “My mum’s best friend was a harpist so my mum used to play tapes to me of her playing when I was going to sleep. It was wonderful!” Director of Music at The Prebendal School, Samantha Kayne, said: “It is such a beautiful instrument and it is a real privilege to be able to now offer harp lessons to our children.”

Approximately 95% of pupils at the school play a musical instrument. There are also more than 20 weekly ensembles, two orchestras, two concert bands, four choirs as well as the Cathedral Choristers.

University launches musical theatre MA in New YorkASPIRING actors and performers can now go straight to Broadway as part of a new course from the University of Chichester.

The master’s degree in musical theatre offers students a chance to develop their skills in dance, singing and acting at a company in New York.

The one-year programme is led by award-winning performers and technicians from Manhattan-based troupe The Broadway Experience.

Students are recruited as an ensemble and receive tutoring from industry experts while performing in fully-staged productions.

Senior musical theatre lecturer Karen Howard said: “Our MA students will be the first in the country to transfer a full production to an off-Broadway venue.

“They will participate in the creation of a musical theatre company to produce and perform established and new repertoire in London and New York.”

The practical course has been created for performers who want to develop their skills in dance, acting and singing, or follow specialist paths in creative producing and stage management.

It also explores the history of musical theatre in the USA as well as Europe, and allows students to hold a symposium before performing their work to experts in London.

The postgraduate degree follows on from the University of Chichester’s BA (Hons) in Musical Theatre which currently tutors more than 130 students.

Award-winning performer Ben Hartley,

a former principal in Cats and Swan Lake, founded The Broadway Experience in 2006.

He said: “This is a bold adventure for both our faculties.

“It is an amazing opportunity for emerging professionals to experience and contrast the world's two foremost musical theatre environments and really extend their abilities.”

As part of the course students will learn from the faculty in Manhattan, which includes Ben Hartley and other award-winning performers.

They will also work with tutors from the University, including senior lecturer Karen Howard who added: “Musical Theatre is gaining national popularity as a degree

programme.“Its success at Chichester can also be

attributed to our flexible programme, the involvement of industry-based professionals, as well as our regional tour and immersive theatre routes.”

The degree, which runs for 42 weeks, starts in January 2015 and will be divided into three terms.

Auditions for a place on the course are being held at the University in January next year.

Don’t Hate, Just Overrate RECENTLY I have decided that many things in life are underrated. They are not given enough credit for their excellence. For example: car boot sales, plane journeys, train journeys, car journeys (I like journeys), going to the supermarket, Arsenal shirts, tooth retainers and PE shorts (I know they are ugly but they make great pyjama bottoms. Don’t hate, appreciate).

Now moving on from all this boring positivity, in equal terms, there are also many things that are overrated, and I’ve kindly compiled a list of them to spread the hate.

1. Baths. What is their deal. People talk about them like they’re the best, so you think ‘oooh I know what I feel like; a nice warm bath to calm my soul and make me feel all enlightened and refreshed’. And then you step in and immediately feel uncomfortable in the heat, and just stew in there for half an hour pretending to enjoy yourself. How boring.

2. Hair dye. People go through phases of dying their hair red – I myself wanted to do this in the summer of ’08 (I should point out that I don’t mean literally bright red, I mean like a soft tint of auburn flame, you feel me?) The thing is, you are given your hair colour for a reason, and in general that reason is that it suits you. Don’t change it, because no offence but there is a chance it could go wrong. Just saying. (On the other hand, you could go

for subtle highlight if you haven’t got cray dark hair like moi, because that’s sort of a nice restrained change. God I am just so philosophical).

3. iPads. I’m specifically not including iPhones in this – I LOVE my iPhone. But iPads just seem to be an enlarged version of my phone, that can’t make phone calls. Is that really outrageous to say? Basically don’t bother with the tablet form, just go for the phone. I’ll text you to congratulate you on your wise decision.

4. Slippers. I have tried SO HARD to love slippers. I feel like I should be a slipper sort of girl. I always picture one of those cool, sophisticated types who have an amaze social life but aren’t afraid to just chill out and have a classy facial with cucumbers over their eyes, to be slipper people. Unfortunately I hate slippers. They make me feel claustrophobic. Sad times.

So that was my ABC of completely factual things to hate. I hope you enjoyed my alphabet of fun.

TO RAISE awareness of the benefits of being active and relaxation for managing stress Chichester Wellbeing are holding two free Tai Chi sessions in Priory Park, Chichester on 29th October at 12.15 – 12.45 and 1.00 – 1.30pm.

Stress is the feeling of being under too much mental or emotional pressure. Pressure turns into stress when you feel unable to cope. People have different ways of reacting to stress, so a situation that feels stressful to one person may be motivating to someone else. Stress can affect how you feel, think, behave and how your body works. Signs of stress can include headaches, difficulty sleeping or concentrating, feeling run down? Are you eating more or less food, smoking or drinking more alcohol, always rushing about, feeling irritable? If so you could be suffering with stress.

When the demands of life start to get to you this is your cue to relax. It is important to recognise the symptoms of stress and find ways that suit you to cope, for example, learning how to relax and taking regular exercise.

Led by local instructor Sam Moor from Sussex Tai Chi these Tai Chi sessions will show you how easy it can be to de stress and unwind just by taking half an hour out of your day to do some gentle exercise.

The sessions are free but please book as places are limited. Call 01243 521041 or email [email protected]

In the event of bad weather the sessions will be held in the Guildhall.

Funerals that meet your needsTHERE ARE difficult decisions to make when a loved one dies. With so much to think about, it’s easy to forget that you do have a choice. Less than 6% of the population now consider themselves regular worshippers. Yet when it comes to planning a funeral, they automatically turn to the Church.

But why not consider an alternative? The Institute of Civil Ceremonies defines a Civil Funeral as ‘being based on the beliefs, wishes, values and cultural traditions of the person who has died’. A trained Civil Funeral Celebrant liaises with your chosen funeral director, meets with you personally, and then prepares the ceremony. They will interpret your wishes and make practical suggestions about content and structure. You may prefer that they write the tribute, or you can do this yourself. Parts of the ceremony can be led by the family, or you can hand over to them completely. Most importantly the choices are yours to make, thus ensuring that the occasion

is exactly how you want it to be.Many people know exactly what they

want; and this element of planning fits well alongside pre-purchased funeral plans. Peace of mind for those left behind can be very important.

There are no hard and fast rules. Live music, favourite songs, readings, humour, personal tributes, colourful coffins and motorbike hearses, balloon and dove releases; anything is possible.

A ‘good’ funeral should be a celebration of a life that was well lived. Surely everyone deserves that?

Manuka celebrates anniversary with moveThis month marks the third anniversary of the opening of Manuka Wholefoods in Chichester. They have another cause for celebration, having recently moved into their new shop in The Boardwalk, off Northgate, with great plans for increasing their product range.

Manuka Wholefoods is a family business run by Grant and Trea Langford, inspired by Grant’s mother Judith, who brought her children up according to holistic principles of natural remedies and nutritional support. They thought she was mad then but her approach has brought Grant and Trea lasting benefits - she was just ahead of her time! Judith is still keen to lend a helping hand in the shop which is also ably assisted by the two Claires, Burgess and McGregor, who are long-standing members of staff. Their name is a nod to their roots in New Zealand as well as, of course, the fact that they stock a selection of Manuka honey which has so many health benefits.

The Boardwalk is proving an excellent location, being close the Northgate car park and bus routes. Manuka enjoy being near some complementary businesses such as Café Paradiso, the new Balanced Wellness Centre, and Whipped & Baked.

Their product range is more diverse

than you might think; as well as the wholefood staples of pulses and grains they stock organic fruit & veg from local growers Wayside Organics, bread, local honey, and foods to suit various dietary preferences including gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan. Winter Wellness is on our minds at the moment, and Manuka are displaying suggestions on how they can build up our immunity for the change in season.

Manuka are excited to be expanding their ranges of supplements and skincare/bodycare; work will be completed on a new area of the shop shortly. A new noticeboard will enable local practitioners to promote their services.

Manuka offer one of the best loyalty schemes in retail, and their customers love to get their cards stamped, knowing that they will get a significant discount off a future purchase.

They have an e-commerce website www.manukawholefoods.co.uk for people who can’t get to the shop, and they place all sorts of information including health tips and new products on Facebook www.facebook.com/manukawholefoods and Twitter @ManukaUK. Manuka are always happy to answer questions in person, by email [email protected] or phone 01243 786366.

The simple test that could save your sightNUFFIELD HEALTH Chichester is holding a free open event for those who may be suffering from, or want more information about Glaucoma.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the UK affecting almost 600,000 people with roughly half of them unaware that they have the disease.

Glaucoma happens when the eye is unable to drain fluid properly, leading to a build-up of pressure, which eventually damages the optic nerve. Early stages of the disease can often be symptomless as the symptoms develop very slowly.

Nishani Amerasinghe, new Consultant Ophthalmologist at Nuffield Health Chichester, said today: “Glaucoma is a progressive disease that cannot be cured but its progression can be stopped. Therefore it is beneficial to get early diagnosis. With that, we can put measures in place to ensure a patient can continue with functional sight for the rest of their life – it’s a manageable disease if caught early.

“I would recommend all adults going to an optician for a regular check up every two years. This means that if there are signs of glaucoma detected, we can address it early. If you have a family history, you can have a free eye test once you reach the age of 40.”

Although sight that has been lost can not

be replaced, treatments and surgeries are much more successful now that before and can include eye drops to reduce eye pressure, or laser treatment or surgery to improve the eye’s drainage.

For more information about this event contact Nuffield Health Chichester, at 78 Broyle road, Chichester, West Sussex, 01243 753 010

Machete Kills (15) THREE out of Five stars

you realise that half of his cast have had public disgrace issues, making you wonder if he got Gibson, Rodriguez, Sheen and Hudgens at a discount. Of the characters with more longevity, Rodriguez and Heard are a lot of fun and Bichir is good value as the split-personality kingpin (the film’s best joke is that only one of his personalities wants to blow up Washington) while Vergara is clearly enjoying herself as the machine-gun-bra-equipped brothel madam (a gimmick stolen from 60s flick The 10th Victim) and a scene-stealing Estevez (Sheen’s birth name) is good value as

before hooking up with underground operative Luz (Michelle Rodriguez, reprising her role from the first film). However, Machete also has to contend with an angry brothel madam (Sofia Vergara) and a dogged hitman with multiple identities (Walton Goggins, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jnr and Lady Gaga as The Chameleon).

The GoodRodriguez’s rapid-fire, bring-’em-on, kill-’em-off approach to his cameo-heavy supporting cast is frequently amusing, particularly when

Machete Kills has its moments and is more fun than the disappointing original but it also outstays its welcome, overplays all its jokes and weirdly underuses its central character.

What’s it all about?Directed by Robert Rodriguez, Machete Kills is the sequel to the 2010 hit, though it’s not too concerned with picking up where the previous one left off and immediately kills off a key character from the first film in the opening sequence. After that, Machete (Danny Trejo) is summoned to Washington where the US President (Carlos Estevez, aka Charlie Sheen) tasks him with travelling to Mexico to track down dangerous drug kingpin Mendez (Demian Bichir), who’s plotting with evil defence contractor Voz (Mel Gibson) to blow up Washington. Fortunately, help is at hand and Machete receives valuable assistance from undercover beauty queen Ms San Antonio (Amber Heard)

Running time: 108 minsDirector: Robert Rodriguez Starring: Danny Trejo, Alexa Vega, Mel Gibson, Lady Gaga, Jessica Alba, Demian Bechir, Carlos Estevez, Amber Heard, Sofia Vergara, Antonio Banderas

the President. The gore factor is a lot more fun this time round, with some amusingly inventive death sequences and some decent 3D effects, though there’s still a feeling that Rodriguez doesn’t quite get his own joke, as the film doesn’t fully exploit the exploitation angle the way it should.

The BadTrejo is solid as the grizzled hero, but, as with the first film, he is curiously under-used by the script – the characters all talk about what a legend he is, but we see nothing that suggests where that reputation might have come from, and if that’s meant to be part of the joke, then it backfires. Similarly, the film can’t quite sustain its 108 minute running time and runs out of steam before the end, frequently over-playing its jokes into the bargain (there’s also an unwelcome streak of misogyny that seems wholly unnecessary).

Worth seeing?Machete Kills is a watchable sequel that delivers nicely in terms of gore and performances but isn’t quite as inventive, as trashy or as funny as it should have been. Also, note to filmmakers: making references to the likes of Justin Bieber will only ensure that your film is horribly dated within five years.

Cosy country pub exceeds expectationsHearty, wholesome winter dishes and friendly staff await at the Barley Mow, Walderton

TUCKED away in the small village of Walderton in the South Downs, the Barley Mow is a home from home offering locally sourced specials in a friendly atmosphere.

The building itself was built in the 18th Century, once used as a headquarters for the local Home guard during World War 2 and regularly hosts the British legion. It has retained its character and charm offering cosy open fires in winter and a pretty country garden in summer. Given its location in the

heart of the South Downs, there are many stunning walks, including Kingley Vale, nearby which make the pub a mecca for country walkers and cyclists.

One of their signature dishes is their ‘Steak on a Stone’. A deliciously tender steak served on a sizzling stone which you can leave on the stone to cook for as long or as little as you like. As well as a local watercress salad, roasted tomato, grilled mushroom and freshly made chunky

chips, there are 3 accompanying sauces to compliment the steak; sweet chilli, garlic & parsley butter, Béarnaise sauce. Other sauces such as blue cheese and green pepper can also be added for a small charge.

Desserts are a selection of pub classics including warm chocolate brownie sundaes, bread and butter pudding and other seasonal favourites. If you have enough room after main course, the warm homemade chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream offers a

delicious sweet taste to finish.The bar and restaurant serves as a

meeting point for locals and welcome pit-stop for walkers by day, as well as a cosy country pub perfect for dinner with friends in the evening.

It is a traditional country pub offering high quality traditional dishes which are simple but very tasty. If you are looking for a traditional English pub with tasty local food and a relaxed feel, then look no further than the Barley Mow.

The pub also offers a skittle alley, formerly an old bakery, which is separate to the main bar and restaurant. It can be hired out for parties and events. Other events at the pub include live music every month (Willie Austen & George Regis), monthly charity quiz nights and weekly curry nights. Christmas booking are now being taken and the pub is also open on Christmas day. For more information visit: [email protected] 631321The Barley Mow, Walderton, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18 9ED

TESCO has announced it will provide the equivalent of seven million meals a year to more than 1,000 charities across the UK by strengthening its partnership with food redistribution charity FareShare.

The news comes as figures published today by FareShare show the organisation is facing record levels of demand for its services and providing food to more organisations than ever before.

The figures show that FareShare now provides food to more than 1,000 charities across the UK – a 15 per cent increase in just six months. More than 50,000 people a day are being fed through these charities with the support of FareShare who redistribute surplus food up and down the country.

To help meet this increase in demand,

Tesco has announced it will be diverting all surplus fresh food from its distribution centres and online grocery centres to support FareShare. This will amount to more than 2,300 tonnes, enough for seven million meals each year.

Tesco will provide FareShare with fresh produce including items such as chicken, peppers, apples and other fresh fruit and vegetables.

The partnership will result in FareShare helping the charities they support including homeless shelters, breakfast clubs for children and luncheon clubs for the elderly save an estimated £4 million in the first year of the scheme. More than 80 per cent of these charities invest these savings into providing more support services for the people they help, such as counselling.

As well as diverting their fresh food, Tesco will provide further support by delivering the food directly to FareShare through the extensive Tesco distribution network.

Rebecca Shelley, Tesco Group Corporate Affairs Director said: “World Food Day is a timely reminder that food poverty is a growing problem in the UK and around

the world. Our scale puts us in a unique position to make a difference, so we’re building on our relationship with FareShare and through them, we will be giving all our surplus fresh food to those who need it most. This will provide seven million meals for people in the UK and will also help us to tackle food waste.”

Lindsay Boswell, CEO of FareShare said: “For the first time ever we are supporting more than 1000 frontline charities in the UK. Our partnership with Tesco will enable us to provide even more high quality, nutritious food to some of the most vulnerable people in our society. It will also mean the charities we support will save millions of pounds on their food bill, which they can invest into providing additional support services for their beneficiaries, helping to get people back on their feet.”

One of the charities that receive food from FareShare is Divine Rescue in London. This day centre supports up to 100 people at a time, providing three meals a day, shelter, health services and advice.

Vera Hine, Divine Rescue said: “Food is crucial for us and it is a big attraction for the people who look to Divine Rescue for support.

Regular food is vital for both the physical and mental health of our clients – people are healthier and happier when they are fed and warm. It would be much harder without FareShare and the food they provide us with helps us save time and money. The food is put to good use and is really appreciated.”

Providing food then allows the centre to focus all efforts in directly helping their clients with other needs, such as sourcing clothes for a job interview, or finding a place to spend the night.

The announcement follows Tesco’s pledge to take the lead in tackling food waste and is part of its wider commitment to use its scale for good. Surplus food is the result of over ordering or mislabelling but is still in date and safe to eat. Instead of this surplus food being sent back to suppliers, it will now be passed to FareShare and used to feed people across the UK.

Tesco already supports FareShare through its National Food Collections which take place in Tesco stores across the UK twice a year. Since September 2012, Tesco and its customers have contributed the equivalent of 5.5 million meals to food charities.

ONE OF THE best parts about living in this part of the world is the changing seasons. This change is also a challenge in many respects, as our bodies (and minds) need to constantly adjust. Our skin is a prime example of this as it can be seen mimicking the energies that surround us. As we move into autumn with the leaves drying out, changing colour and falling to the ground, our skin too responds, having a tendency to become dry, and conditions such as eczema are a common complaint. Interestingly, our skin is not a just reflection of our outer environment. Since the layers of tissue that we call skin are very similar to the tissue that lines our lungs, intestines and other organs, conditions such as constipation, seasonal allergies or asthma can reflect on the skin as irritation, dullness, and dryness.

Luckily there are some simple steps we can take to keep our skin beautiful and glowing as the weather changes.1) Eat with the Season

The foods you eat are the building blocks for your body. Being mindful and making healthy choices are going to keep your energy stores up and create beautiful skin and hair. Eat foods that are in season. While pears can help moisten and nourish, apples are a complex carbohydrate that give your body energy without the crash. Root

vegetables and dark leafy greens will nourish and help detoxify the body; they are also high in fiber which will sweep the waste from the colon, which is a vital part of staying healthy.2) Exercise and Deep Breathing

Exercise helps your body eliminate waste products and moves the blood, which nourishes all of the tissues and organs of the body. It’s a great way to reduce stress and improve mobility and flexibility. Workouts don’t have to be long in duration, but should be aerobic; to rev up the circulation and make you sweat, giving you a nice glow.3) Restorative Sleep

With the days becoming shorter and the nights longer it is best to embrace this time to rest and restore. On average, we should be getting at least 7-9 hours of sleep per night. If you are not feeling refreshed when you wake up, consider making

Autumn skin caresome changes. Taking time out during your hectic day for a ten-minute deep breath or meditational walk will restore mental sharpness, and relieve stress.4) Protect, Moisturize & Hydrate Your Skin

This is not just directed at women! Your skin needs to be protected during the day and nourished at night. Your day cream should be organic and light to keep you hydrated and contain antioxidants like vitamins C, E or A to protect you from free radical damage. Night creams are typically heavier and are more nutritive, containing phyto plant extracts to increase micro-circulation and improve texture and tone of your skin.5) Exfoliate

Now that we are not getting as much sun exposure, this is a great time of the year to exfoliate and brighten the skin. Scrubs are a few of the many ways to do this. On average, the skin

The goodness in applesPacking in quite a bit of soluble fiber (4 grams per medium apple) for a modest amount of calories (95) makes apples a filling, sweet snack. Plus, a medium apple counts as 1 cup of fruit, so after eating one you’re well on your way to meeting your daily fruit quota! They also are a good source of immune-boosting vitamin C.

turns over or exfoliates every 28 days. As we age, this process slows down to every 40 to 60 days. The skin begins to lose its luminosity, brightness and becomes dry and dehydrated. Exfoliating will help uncover healthy hydrated skin below. Sensitive skin can be exfoliated 2 times per week with mature skin exfoliated each day.

Fabulous at 40!DENISE KELLY finds out more about non-surgical treatments by starting at The Beauty Rooms in Chichester.

IN MY QUEST to find natural beauty treatments, as I wrote about in last week’s paper, and natural products that are going to keep me looking fresh and young, my Caci treatments have begun. I have been very excited about this and really up for the challenge! So today I am going to The Beauty Rooms, in Chichester for session number 5.

If I was to be perfectly honest, I am a great believer in ‘beauty from within’, and didn’t have massively high expectations of this treatment, purely because I have always

been led to think that no creams, lotions or potions can help too much to turn back the clock. Well, it’s not often that I say this, but I have been proved very WRONG!

Since starting this

treatment I learnt that the award winning CACI (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument) has gained the reputation as the finest micro current machine available. Backed by over twenty years of research, CACI is the best known system within the beauty industry, and is considered to be the most advanced treatment system of its kind. CACI has attracted a unique celebrity following, making it the most publicized beauty treatment in the industry's history. CACI clients include famous faces from the world of show business, music, media and royalty, so I am glad to be sharing in this experience with such high profiles!

The CACI Quantum is the most advanced face and body treatment system available

and features specific programs for slimming, contouring, cellulite, lymphatic drainage, face lifting, wrinkles, acne and scar tissue and the CACI treatment works to restore and redefine facial muscles, reducing lines and wrinkles. The difference however, that the girls have in the Beauty rooms, compared to other Salons is the natural and organic products that they use with their Caci treatments. (I will talk much more about Pevonia Natural skin care next week) The truth is I cannot believe how my skin looks after just four treatments. It’s completely surprised and amazed me. Progress so far….Treatment One – It was lovely to lie down and feel pampered for the first time in ages! The treatment was painless and relaxing with the probes on the skin, and my skin felt soft and smooth after, although visibly not much difference. All treatments take one hour, so I am feeling totally spoilt to have one hour out of my day, three times per week to be horizontal. What luxury!Treatment two – The actual treatment, I could feel was slightly higher intensity regards the current in the probes. It was still totally relaxing and lovely. I started to notice a slight plumping in the skin and a more even tone. My skin felt silky smooth!

Treatment three – People started to tell me after this treatment that I look ‘so well’! Ok, I will take the compliments on board and look forward to the coming weeks. Skin is feeling wonderfully smooth and even in tone and colour.Treatment four – This is where I actually started noticing a drastic difference – and family and friends began to notice. The skin feels tighter, more plumped and generally less lined. I kept looking in different mirrors, turning into some vain 40 year old trying to see the difference in different lights! I actually can’t believe the difference this Caci treatment is making. It’s unbelievable. I look fresh and radiant, less tired around my eyes and the pores on my skin look smaller too. Overall I am so impressed. If this is the difference, and I am not even half way there, I am so looking forward to the next six treatments. Watch this space…..

Horoscopes from Kimi

18th - 24th October

A woman’s outfit is 35% weather, 14% plans for the day and 7% moodA woman’s choice of outfit is influenced 35% by the weather, 14% by her plans for the day and 7% by her mood, a study has revealed. Researchers found that as many as 11 different factors play a part in what women decide to wear when they leave the house in the mornings, including their confidence, how well they feel and what day of the week it is.

Even hairstyles are dictated primarily by the weather (18%), with when it was last washed (15%) and the time available in the morning (11%) also playing a key part.

The study was commissioned by Toni&Guy, which is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, to coincide with the recent shows of next season’s fashions and trends.

It also emerged that more than half of the women polled reckon others could guess their mood, plans for the day or even how well they feel simply by looking at their outfit and overall appearance.

Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck, Global Creative Director at Toni&Guy, said: ”For most people, getting dressed in the mornings is not just a case of chucking any old clothing on.

”There are actually several different factors that need to be considered when choosing an outfit or hairstyle for the day ahead.

”And living in the UK, it might not be a surprise to learn weather is the biggest influence when deciding what look to go for in the mornings.

”Even at the height of summer, we usually have to look out the window or check the forecast before choosing an appropriate outfit.

”But as well as the day’s agenda, it also seems that women tend to dress according to their mood or how well they feel, with many making more effort with their appearance when they are happy.”

The study of 2,000 women found that the average woman will consider three different factors when deciding what to wear each morning, with the weather accounting for 35% of the decision.

Temperature is 26% of the choice, while 14% is down to the day’s agenda, including whether they are going out after work and if they have any meetings.

Mood accounts for 7%, the occasion 6%, while how they feel and how they slept making up 4% of the decision.

Other factors that are taken into consideration include their general personality, confidence and what day of the week it is.

It also emerged that more than seven in ten women reckon they are more likely to put effort into their appearance when the weather is nice.

But 72% of women also admitted they usually end up chucking on the first thing they grab on mornings when they feel under the weather or haven’t slept well the night before.

When it comes to a woman’s hairstyle,

weather is still the main consideration for how they wear it, followed by how long it has been since they washed it and how much time they have in the mornings.

Their mood, plans for the day and whether they can be bothered to curl or straighten it also factor in the decision.

The study also found that 63% of women even put thought into the colour of clothes they wear, with red being the most common colour to wear when they are feeling happy and black being most common on a bad day.

Black is also the colour of choice on days when they feel unwell or lacking in confidence, it’s cold or wet outside, they had a bad night’s sleep or they have an important meeting at work.

On sunny days or when they want to show off a tan, white outfits are the most popular hue to wear, while red clothes are pulled out on days when women feel their most confident.What goes into deciding an outfit:• Weather 35%• Temperature 26%• The day’s agenda 14%• Your mood 7%• The occasion 6%• How you feel/tiredness 4%• Personality 3%• Your confidence levels 2%• What day it is 1%

earned day to yourself. Sometimes there is just no pleasing some people. Top tip don’t try this week!!

Virgo 23 Aug – 23 Sept

The focus will be on the home and familial relationships. Plain speaking may be called for. A word of caution there is a difference between openness and tactlessness. This week should bring greater clarity to an issue that’s occupied your mind for some time. Remember we don’t always get what we want but we often get what we need!

Libra 24 Sept – 23 Oct

This week is full of temptation and it comes in many guises. Resist all. At work don’t throw your toys out of the pram. There may be a valid reason for someone questioning your actions. Don’t max out those credit cards and as far as family and friends are concerned sit on the fence. It’s the best place right now!

Scorpio 24 Oct – 22 Nov

You gain credit for bringing about the impossible this week by salvaging that seemingly unsalvageable project. You can’t do this alone you will need the help of colleagues. Good job that you have all those diplomacy skills at your finger tips. Use those tactics at home and you may be seen as manipulative. Be direct and you will avoid conflict.

Sagittarius 23 Nov – 21 Dec

Financial matters abound this week. You could be discussing a partnership, property purchase, investments or simply looking at a budget forecast. If you have done your homework, have faith in yourself and be bold in your decision making. A new image would be good to match your mood. But avoid 80s power dressing if you want to be taken seriously!

Capricorn 22 Dec – 20 Jan

You could be heading up a new group; this may be a social project rather than a

in a new direction. Approach these opportunities with caution, not bull in china shop mode, and things should go well. Time to put a little emotional distance between you and any current or potential partner. This is not the end but you may both benefit from some space.

Cancer 22 June – 22 July

Again it’s a good week for the gym but this time you don’t need it as a stress buster. You’ve just had too many working lunches of late, time to work them off. You may be dealing with someone hot headed or at least a little argumentative this week, keep your cool. Remember to err is human to forgive sublime!

Leo 23 July – 22 Aug

Something physical is in need of a general overhaul or spot of maintenance. Shirking this duty could turn out to be a costly at a later date. That done you can focus on you. Give yourself a pamper session or a well

career one. Your skills as a team leader will be called into play and you may gain kudos as well as satisfaction from the enterprise. Be careful around the home and car this week as accidents can happen. Keep spare keys at hand! Aquarius 21 Jan – 19 Feb

You may have a moment of epiphany this week; at the very least you will be seeing things more clearly. Some big decisions will have to be made and some big changes may ensue. It would not be a good idea to act on this knowledge right now. You need time to reflect and plan before you jump ship!

Pisces 20 Feb – 20 March

A career opportunity opens up but this could be hampered by detractors. Don’t let petty jealousies mar your progress. You are a logistic thinker and have good administrative and interpersonal skills. Bring these to bear, don’t get involved in heated debate and you will win the day and the job! Domestically a loved one is in need of some TLC!

Aries 21 March – 20 April

You take more of a leap than step up in your career. You are, quite rightly, recognized as a rising star. Not everyone though is happy to share in your good fortune, so be careful who you exchange confidences with. As far as romance goes just ask the question, the answer may not be as bad as you anticipate!

Taurus 21 April – 21 May

Well two are definitely tangoing this week. There is pleasure in the knowledge that your feelings are reciprocated and this could make for a highly charged romantic week. But make sure you take care of your physical as well as emotional health or you may find your work performance a little lackluster and this may just be noticed!

Gemini 22 May – 21 June

With new and unexpected projects you could find your career heading off

Christmas markets in ItalyWITH LESS than 100 days to go until Christmas Day, and the shops already putting up their Christmas displays, no doubt people are beginning to look for inspiration for their Christmas gifts. So why not head to Italy for that inspiration? Whilst Germany is probably the European country most famous for it's Christmas markets, many of the towns and cities in Italy also have Christmas markets, known as 'Mercatino di Natale'. These markets run from just a couple of days each to a month or more.

The Christmas Market in the Piazza Navona in Rome each year is bound to be a hit with it's stalls filled with sweets and chocolate and traditional carousel. Every year at Christmas time, an ice rink is also set up in the middle of Renzo Piano's Parco della Musica and continues through January.

Mirroring the ice rinks set up in December in many towns in the UK, it's a great way to get in the festive spirit. If Rome is a city you would like to enjoy your Christmas shopping in, then why not head there with a group of friends? Renting an apartment in the city will offer a cost effective way for a group to visit and will ensure that you have more money left over to spend in the market!

If you've already visited Rome and fancy trying a different city in Italy, then Florence also has a Christmas market for visitors to enjoy. From the end of November onwards, children can enjoy a visit to 'Babbo Natale' in his grotto as part of the 'Florence Noel' festival held each year in the Stazione Leopolda. There are also plenty of opportunities to purchase some wonderful Christmas gifts at one of the many stalls here. In addition to this market, Florence also hosts an annual 'Mercato Tedesco di Natale' (German Christmas Market), held in the Piazza Santa Croce. It is filled with stalls selling both typical German crafts, but also plenty of Italian-made nativity crafts, children's toys, and seasonal treats. If you want to be right on the doorstep of this market, then why not enjoy a stay in this fantastic apartment just off the piazza?

Other Tuscany cities that hold markets during the run up to Christmas include Siena, Arezzo, Pisa, Lucca and Montepulciano. You could even time your visit to Tuscany to ensure that you have the chance of visiting more than one of the markets on offer. Winter is a lovely time to visit the region and there are plenty of great Tuscany villas and apartments available to rent.

Further North in Italy, both Verona and Venice also play host to some wonderful Christmas markets. Verona's Piazza dei Signori plays host to the city's 'Nuremburg market', a German style market selling a wide array of Bavarian food specialities and thousands of Christmas decorations and gifts. The market usually runs from the last week of November up to a few days before Christmas.

The Campo Santo Stefano in nearby Venice is similarly transformed into a Christmas village in the 3 weeks prior to Christmas. The square is full of wooden cabins, each selling Christmas treats and gifts with a more Italian feel, from murano glass jewellery to traditional Venetian carnival masks. And the good news for food lovers is that a whole section of the market is dedicated to Italian food from delicious panettone to almond studded nougat, extra virgin olive oil and truffles.

West of here, you could extend your trip to either Verona or Venice with a few days on Lake Maggiore. With some great deals on accommodation on Lake Maggiore off season, it's a chance to relax before the chaos of Christmas descends! Whilst here, why not visit Locarno (actually located in

the Swiss part of the lake). The town enjoys some wonderful festivities in the run up to Christmas and visitors can enjoy ice skating in the main square.

Lake Maggiore is also a great base to enjoy a trip to 'Oh Bej! Oh Bej!' in Milan, a famous Christmas festival which always starts on the 7th December, the feast day of Saint Ambrose, Milan's patron saint. Also known as the 'Fiera di Sant' Ambrogio' visitors will find plenty of stalls selling everything from decorations to food and from antiques to flowers.

On the water All the latest water sports news in chichester

Itchenor XODs win close battle with Royal Burnham Yacht Club A STRONG team of sailors from the Royal Burnham Yacht Club visited Itchenor Sailing Club for a series of team races in the hosts’ XODs. The three race series started on Saturday afternoon with an hour long race around the fixed marks in Chichester Harbour in ideal wind conditions but with a tricky, strong ebb tide. The first two legs of the course saw the teams closely matched; but by the end of the second windward leg Itchenor had established a commanding lead with their three boats in the top slots.

However, as the six boats turned for the long run to the finish, the Burnham boats came back and ensured close racing all the way to the line with two of their boats moving into 3rd and 4th positions. With the scoring done it was Itchenor’s race and so the hosts were ahead overnight.

The evening hospitality at Itchenor Sailing Club left none of the team members the worse for wear and there was keen anticipation for the two races planned for Sunday morning. The weather gods appeared to have conspired against the races as the wind at 10 o’clock was zero knots. Optimistically the fleets were towed down harbour in the hope that a breeze would develop nearer the sea. By 1130 a gentle

breeze blew in from the South to enable the racing to begin. Over the short windward/leeward course the Burnham sailors demonstrated their experience in team racing and scored a perfect one, two three in the second race of the series. This set up the final race as the decider.

The Itchenor team then demonstrated that they had learned the lesson that the start was critical with each of their boats covering one of the Burnham boats. These tactics saw Paul Taylor of Burnham having to restart having been sailed the wrong side of the line. Itchenor’s captain David Priscott shadowed his opposite number Stephen Herring all-round the course.

This ultimately allowed Alastair Shaw to move from 3rd to 1st place where he remained until the finish. As they approached the line Herring engaged Priscott in close combat to allow his colleague Steve Adams through to 2nd place. With Herring and Priscott too close to call as they finished, it was down to the contest for the last places to decide the race and the series.

As the two final competitors crossed the line it was John Tattersall’s Itchenor boat that was judged to have crossed ahead of the fast closing Taylor by a matter of inches.

And so the series ended with Itchenor enjoying the closest of victories and with the hosts and visitors looking forward to the rematch at Burnham next season.

Results: Race 1 Itchenor win 8 -13 Race 2 Burnham win 6 -15 Race 3 Itchenor win 10 – 11

Back to basics – Free Back Care event offers simple steps to banish back pain!

One out of three people in the UK experience lower back pain every year.

The event will take place on Wednesday 23rd October from 9am to 5pm at Nuffield Health Club Chichester. There will be free expert advice sessions and the chance to

1 in 3 adults suffer with Back Pain. Do you?

What are your core muscles?

Your core is the basis of your body’s stability. The core muscles,

including your lower back, abdominal wall, and pelvic floor

and diaphragm muscles are a group of stabilisers that when

strengthened can protect you from injury and pain.

Through a sedentary lifestyle and poor posture, these deep

muscles surrounding the spine can become weakened and lose

coordination. Core strength training exercises are designed to

target these muscles and help them to activate at the right time.

New survey shows snooping habits of our nosey nationThe UK is a nation of nosey parkers with 40 per cent of people admitting to ever snooping on their neighbours, new research commissioned by Direct Blinds shows.

Direct Blinds sought to find out just how many Brits are guilty of snooping on their neighbours and what motivates them to peek through the curtains to see what is going on in the world around them.

The research was carried out by YouGov and surveyed more than 2,000 people across the UK. It found that 45 per cent of women admit to ever having snooped on their neighbours, compared to 34 per cent of men.

However, men would be more likely than women to confront a neighbour they believed was snooping on them (46 per cent vs 32 per cent), which is perhaps due to the fact that fewer men than women surveyed believe that snooping on neighbours is natural human behaviour (36 per cent of men vs 41 per cent of women).

Direct Blinds also found the nation has a number of techniques up their sleeve for when they are snooping on their neighbours. Over two-thirds of respondents who have ever done this (67 per cent) admitted to peering through their curtains and/or blinds to snoop on their neighbours and more than one-third (37 per cent) even admitted to turning off the lights in their room.

The most common reason respondents named for why they would snoop on their

neighbours was hearing a loud and/or unusual noise (59 per cent).

Interestingly, many respondents said that having an unruly neighbour move in nearby would not make them more likely to snoop on them; nearly half (47 per cent) claimed it would make no difference to their habits.

Regions where people are most likely to snoop on their neighbours (based on percentage of respondents who admitted to having ever snooped on their neighbours)

1. South-West (47%)2. North-West (44%)3=. South East (43%)3=. West Midlands (43%)5. East of England (42%)Regions where people would be most

AUTUMN is well and truly here, with many people already getting their Christmas plans underway. We are finding that what is in fashion in the world of furniture, chops and changes as often as clothes and hairstyles. So how can you ensure that you’re on trend, without having to constantly alter your home and work spaces? Max Clements, expert designer at luxury furniture manufacturer Parker & Farr, shares his predictions for what to look out for this season:

A lot of this season’s colour trends have taken inspiration from the glamour of the Parisian catwalks and there are some really exciting colours emerging. Expect to see glowing bronzes, coppers and lively corals, all of this season’s fiery autumnal shades.

Underlying earthy hues in particular are making a presence as we anticipate the re-interpretation of old Mediterranean Terracotta with contrasting soft blues and greens; this season note the influence of classic and eclectic global styles.

Before you roll your eyes about this next colour (believe me I have surprised a few people when showing them this in action) fifty shades of grey isn’t just a novel. People are really beginning to have fun with all its respective tones, gun metal, silver and charcoal, combined with strong accent colours like

Wake me up when the first leaf fallsorange and deep fuschia, work surprisingly well.

It is not just colour that is making a splash, we are also starting to see the return of older print techniques. The improvement in digital technology used for reproducing archive designs is undeniable. The developments allow access to inspirational vintage prints going back to the mid-twentieth century from places such as the V&A museum and beyond. As a result, we anticipate pieces inspired by Willow pattern and Delft China.

This innovative digital technology has also injected life into the printing style of the arts and crafts movement. This had a revival in the early mid-twentieth century art which is set to return. The simplified motifs are being brought back to life in the form of wood block prints producing distinctive, fresh designs. Keep an eye on evolving influences that constitute the quintessentially English feel: classic with elements of quirkiness.

Finally, and lets face it, we can’t hide the fact that, come October, designers always love to use traditional autumnal colours. Warm fall oranges will be bleeding into the metallic shine of winter, giving a cooler, more contemporary edge to interiors.

You can see how some of these trends are showcased with Parker and Farr’s latest collection. For more information on Parker and Farr and the Interior Designers Privilege Card, visit parkerandfarr.co.uk.

RESEARCH from Churchill Home Insurance highlights how we isolate ourselves from our closest neighbours, with 17 per cent of people admitting they have not spoken to any of their neighbours in over a month, rising to three in ten (29 per cent) of 18-34s.

Despite often living just a few meters away, over half (51 per cent) of those with neighbours admit they cannot recall their first names and 70 per cent are unaware of their full names.

The findings highlight a lack of familiarity for those living close to us, as 36 per cent say they would not even recognise their neighbours in person. Almost three quarters (70 per cent) did not know what their next door neighbours did for a living, 61 per cent were unable to recall how long their neighbours have been in residence and over half (53 per cent) had no knowledge of whether their neighbours rented or owned their homes. A further 44 per cent were unable to recall whether their neighbours have children and 47 per cent said the same about pets.

Martin Scott, head of Churchill home insurance, said: "Relationships with our neighbours have changed significantly over the years because the way we live, work and

Isolated Britain: half of Brits do not know their neighbours’ first name

socialise has evolved. We move homes more frequently, spend a lot less time communicating face to face and are more cautious about who we welcome into our homes. As a result, we know very little about our neighbours, as we all get on with our own busy lives.

"The lack of trust and familiarity between neighbours does have implications. People may be less willing and less able to watch out for each other - realising there is a stranger on a neighbour's property is very difficult if we cannot recognise the person who lives there. Home insurance is vital should the worst happen, however, maintaining a good relationship with those we live closest to can make our communities a safer and more sociable place to live."

Highlighting a stark absence in neighbourhood friendships, Churchill's research reveals that less than a third (32 per cent) of us would call our neighbours friends, falling to 18 per cent for those aged 18-34. In fact, 13 per cent of people say they distrust, dislike or deliberately avoid their next door neighbours. For younger residents, this figure increases to

20 per cent. Whilst the research indicates that younger

people are significantly more isolated from those they share a street or building with, they are also more likely to have scoured

social networking sites and search engines to find information about their neighbours. On average, eight per cent of all UK adults admit to having done this, compared to 15 per cent of those aged 18-34.

Ferrari apprentices start living the dreamEnzo Ferrari, the eponymous founder of the fabled Prancing Horse, once said that “A Ferrari is a dream. For most, it will remain a dream – except for those lucky few.” The 11 new teenagers who started their 3-year Ferrari Apprenticeship are indeed “those lucky few”.

Competition for a place on the Ferrari Apprenticeship scheme was understandably fierce, with over 1100 applicants from school-leavers who dreamed of working for the famous Italian Prancing Horse. The new Apprentices will be employed at Ferrari dealerships throughout the UK, and will complete 24 weeks of training at Ferrari North Europe’s head office as part of their 3-year apprenticeship programme.

Matteo Torre, Regional Manager Ferrari North Europe, commented: “We are delighted to welcome the new Apprentices to Ferrari as well as congratulate the 4 graduating Apprentices as they begin their career as fully-qualified Ferrari technicians. We have been overwhelmed by the interest in this programme. This project is part of the Ferrari philosophy of investing in young talent and we are proud to continue this philosophy through the Ferrari North Europe Apprentice Programme and to ensure that the Ferrari dealer network has a continual supply of high quality, knowledgeable and expertly trained apprentices who will hopefully become the

Ferrari technicians of the future.”

During the 3 year programme, the Apprentices will receive intensive training on diagnostic and mechanical equipment required to service and maintain the current range of Ferrari models such as the Ferrari California, 458 Italia, F12berlinetta and the flagship FF. The Apprentices will also have access to other models from Ferrari’s recent past, including the F430 Coupe and 612 Scaglietti, to ensure they have the necessary skills to confidently service the cars they are most likely to see in the workshop at their respective dealerships.

Demonstrating the success of the programme, the 4 graduating Apprentices have all been employed full-time as fully-qualified Ferrari Technicians in the Official Dealer network. However, completing the Ferrari Apprentice programme is not the end of their training regime with Ferrari. In fact, Ferrari has one of the highest rates of training days per employee of any automotive

brand, particularly for technicians, due to the very complex, unique and highly-advanced technology which is featured on the current product range – much of which has been developed through Ferrari’s experiences in F1. This means these Ferrari Apprentices – now Ferrari Technicians – will continue to receive on-going training at Ferrari North Europe, as part of a structured career development path for their entire career – as we constantly need to train technicians on new processes,

methods and technology every time we introduce a new car.

The Ferrari North Europe Apprentice Programme is open to all school leavers aged 16 or over, and includes in-house and in-dealer training for 3 years, with 24 weeks of specific training at Ferrari North Europe’s head office during the 3 year programme. Those interested in applying for the September 2014 intake should register their interest at ferrari-apprenticetraining.co.uk.

Night-time curfews not the answer for young drivers says The Co-op

NIGHT-TIME restrictions on young drivers should not be part of the solution to increase safety on Britain's roads says The Co-operative Insurance.

Transport Research Laboratory has made a series of recommendations for new drivers which includes night-time curfews. These come ahead of an imminent Government Green Paper on how to improve young driver safety.

The Co-operative would support the introduction of a Graduated Driver Licencing system which would expose novice drivers to a greater number of driving experiences to prepare them for life on the roads.

However, The Co-operative Insurance believes enforcing a night-time curfew as part of the GDL is not the answer.

James Hillon, Director of General Insurance, said: "We fully support the aim of making the roads safer for everyone, but believe that educating novice young drivers will be more effective than imposing such a restriction.

"We recognise that too many young drivers are involved in road accidents, and that their premiums are higher as a result, but believe these issues can be better

tackled by encouraging them to drive safely. "In 2011, we introduced telematics

insurance for young drivers where a smart box is installed in a car. The scheme has helped cut accident rates by a fifth by helping to inform young people how to improve their driving and rewarding responsible driving with lower premiums."

In addition to the significant reduction in accidents, claims for the most serious type of ‘catastrophic' accident are 30% lower. The scheme calculates premiums on how the individual drives - not on how their general age group drives - and has helped lower the average young driver premium by over £400.

James added: "Our experience with telematics shows that the technology can inform young people how to improve their driving, and importantly, rewards good driving with lower premiums.

"In the case of night-time curfews, young drivers may have a real need to drive at night, such as for work, and we're concerned that curfews would have unintended impacts on their lives.

Telematics prices insurance on driving behaviour, which includes the time they drive, so if they drive when accidents are more likely to occur the premium will reflect this.

"Passing your driving test and getting a car is an important liberating step for young people. We believe most take their responsibilities as a driver seriously and the aim should be in helping them to drive safely."

The Co-operative Insurance Young Driver scheme uses a Smart Box installed in a car and takes the average of 4 factors: speed, acceleration/braking, cornering and time of day, from which young drivers achieve a score that will get them a discount providing that they drive safely.

Young drivers with The Co-operative Insurance do not face a penalty charge for driving at night but the risk will be reflected in the premium.

Customers can earn 30% of their initial premium back in discounts if they achieve a top score of five for their overall driving performance.

Motorists install cameras to combat crash for cash claims

Motorists are installing video cameras in their cars to combat ‘crash for cash’ fraud claims.

The devices, known as ‘dash-cams, record the view through the windscreen and capture events before, during and after a collision.

The recorded footage can also be used by defendants against accusations of lane-hogging or tailgating on motorways following new fixed penalty legislation which came into force in August.

Halfords is introducing new in-car camera products in response to this growing demand - making the technology that has been widely used by the emergency services for many years accessible to all motoristswho want to film their journeys for protection.

The Insurance Fraud Bureau estimates around 30,000 ‘crash for cash’ incidents take place every year, costing insurers around £350 million and pushing up premiums for honest, innocent drivers by around £44

each. A new tactic that is being used by

increasingly bold frausters has also emerged this year. They flash their headlights to give victims the impression they are being allowed to join a main road but then accelerate in order to hit the unsuspecting driver side-on.

Halfords in-car technology manager Alec James said: “Following an incident people are often reluctant to admit guilt and risk losing their no claims discount*. In addition, the surge in fraudulent so-called ‘crash for cash’ claims is causing genuine concern among innocent drivers.

“The range of recording devices we now offer means that we can provide drivers with the means to produce evidence of how an incident occurred and who is at fault should the need arise.”

The new in-car cameras are available in Halfords stores as well as halfords.com.

Lord March announces provisional dates for the 2014 Goodwood motor sport eventsGOODWOOD Festival of Speed and Revival founder Lord March is able to announce the provisional dates for next year’s two leading sell-out Goodwood motoring events. It should be noted that at this stage the 2014 Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival dates are provisional and remain subject to change, pending ratification by the FIA of the 2014 Formula 1 calendar in December.

The 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed will take place from Thursday 26 June to Sunday 29 June. The 2014 Festival promises to be packed with action and excitement, as the planet’s most glamorous racing machinery and famous drivers gather together in the beautiful surroundings of Goodwood Park. The theme for the 2014 Festival will be announced very shortly.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed will open with the Moving Motor Show on Thursday 26 June 2014, to give new car buyers and motoring enthusiasts the

opportunity to see the very latest models up close, and in many cases drive them on a dedicated vehicle evaluation route within the grounds of the Goodwood Estate, including the revered Festival hillclimb.

The unique 2014 Goodwood Revival is set for the weekend of 12-14 September 2014. The sell-out Revival truly is a magical step back in time, celebrating the halcyon days of motor racing as it used to be, with all of the accompanying spectacle and glamour of the era. Competitors and spectators alike dress in period fashions, with the finest sights and entertainment of the pre-1966 era for all to enjoy.

It may be the most high profile week of his fledgling managerial career, and, like Albion fans, he will be hoping that after the 7 days and 3 games, it’s safe passage to the last 16 and 6 points in the bag.

OFTEN teams face a big week that determines the fate of their season. And often it comes in January.

However, by a quirk of the fixtures computer and TV scheduling the Albion face 3 massive games in a week, each for different reasons.

Liverpool wednesday : The game against Liverpool in the Carling Cup has the drama and the history. The Reds have Steven

Gerard back for the first time since march, straight of the back of a spanking from Spurs. Vicente may well get his first outing against a club he beat when with Valencia. Noone the roofer is a story well documented aswell. Gus

Gus Poyet marks 100 games in charge just to add another twist. If the game emulates clashes in the 80s and 91 we could be in for a cracker

Poyet marks 100 games in charge just to add another twist. If the game emulates clashes in the 80s and 91 we could be in for a cracker.

Leeds friday : 3 points on offer. 3 points on offer. 3 points on offer.

Palace tuesday : 3 points yes but also a fierce, if sometimes misunderstood rivalry. The first clash between the two sides at the Amex. Glenn Murray returns to his former club.

Whenever you look at games in isolation they have a certain significance but when you look at the 7 days and 3 games together this period could become a pivotal point in the season.

No-one (not Noone) would be suprised

Straight from the commentary box

And so it’s started. Like leaves falling from the trees in Autumn, managers have begun to get the sack. David Weir was given his marching orders at Sheffield United, Martin Allen has received his P45 from Gillingham and Kevin Blackwell has been relieved of his duties at Bury. There is always a reason for them and often the decision from a Chairman is very different from club to club.

However, I do hate the words “it’s a results business”. Apart from stating the obvious it can mask other factors, fall-outs, changes in budgets, player unrest. Results do count and consistency is always cited as the key to success. I was reminded this week by the former Albion striker and current Crawley Town boss Ritchie Barker of another point this week. He believes clubs should also be praised when they back a manager through hard times prior to success. He was

Like leaves falling from the trees in Autumntalking about Bradford City who will arrive in Sussex this weekend under boss Phil Parkinson. He will be remembered for taking the Bantams to Wembley but he was under considerable pressure early on in his career there.

As I look to Albion’s trip to Yeovil this weekend it was interesting to see Gary Johnson is the 25th (out of 92) longest serving manager at 1 year and 281 days (as of Saturday). Only 7 managers have more than 3 years at the helm of any club, only 3 more than 4 years.

Meanwhile Albion fans should feel assured. Former boss Gus Poyet takes charge of Sunderland for the first time this weekend but the ‘consistency’ is there in plain view. The club has been overhauled from top to bottom. Oscar Garcia may not have the charisma in front of a TV camera compared to his predecessor, but he has a full understanding of the importance of what they call in Spain – credo.

Garcia was one of the young charges in the limelight at Barcelona as his mentor Johan Cruyff began to transform the Catalonian club. The Dutchman is known as former player and manager at the La Liga club but

he also underpinned the club that exists today for changing everything they do. With the patience of an astute Chairman, Oscar can also enjoy success at the Amex. No one lasts forever in football but with a team around him that is engaged in the club more memorable moments will surely arrive. The man alongside him in the dug-out at Huish Park knows all too well about Albion, and

Yeovil. Nathan Jones enjoyed two long spells at both clubs as a player and also knows loyalty and belief in others do count for something.

Shrubb plants goals in ForestSouth West Combinations League 2013-2014Chichester City 4 - 2 Forest Green Rovers

KEEN to continue their unbeaten start to the season, Chichester faced their toughest test yet at home to third-placed Forest Green Rovers. Chichester's starting line-up looked very different from the team that finished against the University of Portsmouth, with several injuries meaning players having to play out of position.

Chichester made a superb start when after only two minutes Wride played a perfectly weighted through ball to Cheshire who after finding herself one on one with the keeper unselfishly squared the ball to Shrubb who coolly slotted the ball into the empty net. The early goal seemed to spark Forest Green into action. They began to attack the Chichester right and the pressure told when a low cross into the box deflected off the foot of Widdowson, not the present she was looking for on her birthday.

Forest Green enjoyed a large share of possession for the rest of the half, however during the last 10 minutes of the half the midfield began to open up and Chichester enjoyed a good spell of possession which was rewarded with a goal. Alexander played a pinpoint pass from centre back straight through the Forest Green middle to Cheshire who this time scored herself to make it 2-1 going into the break.

City made two changes at half time brining on Harnett for Hughes-Jones and Ambler for Strudwick. The subs coupled with a change of tactics proved effective from the off with Chichester dominating possession in the Forest Green Half. It was only a matter of time before the third goal came. Shrubb got her second when she was put through on goal and calmly chipped the ball past the keeper from just inside the box. Chichester continued to dominate and were rewarded with a fourth goal when Fowlie played a fantastic cross field through ball to Ambler who got a shot off early to beat the keeper at

the near post.For the final 15 minutes Chichester

seemed to take their foot of the gas and allowed Forest Green back into the game. The opposition scored a second with around five minutes to go, the Forest Green midfield won the ball and played a ball into the number 9 who laid the ball into the midfield for a long

Abbey Shrubb high-fives number 6 Kirsty Willett and Lauren Cheshire after Abbey’s first goal

range strike which flew into the top corner. Manager Matt Wright said: "To win a

game of that importance with a very under par performance is a positive, however there are still areas we want to improve on. To remain unbeaten is fantastic and keeps up our momentum going into our next game."

City are away to Larkhall this Sunday.

City’s double defeatSussex RUR CupLoxwood 3 -0 Chichester CitySussex County League Division OneLingfield 2 – 1 Chichester City

By Chester Browton

CHICHESTER were eliminated from the Sussex RUR Cup at the hands of Second Division Loxwood on Tuesday night.

Whilst most football fans were sitting in their armchairs watching England qualify for the World Cup finals on TV, a handful of spectators ventured to the remote ‘out in the woods’ venue for this alternative spectacle.

Unfortunately Chichester never showed any bite throughout the contest, and were deservedly beaten 3-0 by Loxwood who were missing their star player Tom Lyons.

The hosts took the lead in the 5th minute when a corner from the right was headed in by centre-half Eddie French.

All the chances during the first-half fell to Loxwood, with Matt Hoyte curling a dangerous free-kick on 36 minutes and City keeper Anthony Ender being forced to make a dramatic dive soon after.

Tim Martin fired over from a good position just before the break, and for Chichester

supporters it was the first welcoming moment of the night when retreating to the warmth of the clubhouse just in time to see Wayne Rooney head in England’s opening goal.

Fifteen minutes into the second-half, Chichester had a chance to level when Luke Killner drove in a free-kick, but there was no-one at the far post to finish off.

And moments later, a lightning-fast breakaway by Loxwood left-winger Andre Elkana ended with a superb cross into the goalmouth for Martin to make it 2-0.

There was more impressive play from Loxwood on 78 minutes, with Martin intercepting the ball close in and running wide to the right before squaring it back to Elkana, who struck the third goal from close range.

A disappointing performance from Chichester although Loxwood belied their lower status and were especially formidable in defence, never allowing City to test keeper Chris Coles.

On Saturday, Chichester forced fourth-placed Lingfield to work hard for their 2-1 victory.

The Surrey hosts took the lead after only 6 minutes when a Gareth Graham free-kick led to Joel O’Hara firing in from close range,

giving fear that City could be about to experience something similar to their previous game where they lost 7-0 to Littlehampton.

However, Chichester stubbornly battled on with determination, not allowing Lingfield to build on their advantage. And in the 28th minute Josh Case hit the equaliser with a 25-yard free-kick that curled inside the far post.

Lingfield boss Dixie Dean made his feelings known to the home players during the break, and it seemed to have some effect. Five minutes into the second-half, a long ball caught out the City defence and Harry Sintim rushed in to score from close range.

Play became more frantic as the half wore on, with Morgan Forry, Jack Blatchford and Connor Cody all producing shots at goal, whilst a 74th minute effort from Lingfield’s Japanese forward Hidekazu Sato almost killed off the game but ended up in the side-netting.

Much to everybody’s amusement, Julian Boniface had to be temporarily excused, and once he returned to the park there was a final chance for Chichester when Frazer Smith

blasted the ball over from a good position on the edge of the box.

A third successive defeat for City, although a far more encouraging performance against a team they haven’t manage to beat in the last three years.

City V Lingfield: Ender, F Smith, Walters, Boniface, Cody, Hegarty, Killner, Case, Forry, Blatchford, Taylor. Subs: Lambert, Groom.

City V Loxwood: Ender, Heath, Forry, Boniface, Cody, Hegarty, Killner, Case, Gromett, F Smith, Ansa. Subs: Taylor, Boulton.
