Three cheers for trees!
Wooden garden furniture is
beautiful, natural and stylish
– and at Garden Xtras there’s
a wide range to choose from,
in teak and hardwood. What’s
more – as part of this excellent
company’s green credentials –
Garden Xtras is committed to
support the National Forest by
sponsoring trees.
The National Forest is a
bold project. It’s a forest in
the making, transforming
200 square miles of England’s
heartland, and already more
than 7.8 million trees have been
planted. This means woodland
cover has increased from 6%
to 18%, and habitats are being
created to allow animals, insects
and plants to flourish.
“By planting trees to
replenish the wood supplies
we use, we really know we’re
helping the environment,”
says Stephen at Garden Xtras.
“All our wood is FSC approved
(Forest Stewardship Committee),
which certifies that the timber
has come from legal sustainable
sources – so we’re certainly
doing our bit to preserve the
rain forest! And when you buy
our hardwood garden furniture,
you can be sure you’ll be doing
your bit, too.”
Garden Xtras at Lancing
Business Park stocks a varied
range of garden ornaments
and accessories, too – including,
pots, planters, bird feeders,
trellises and lots more. In fact,
if it doesn’t grow, but you need
it in your garden, pop in for a
browse.

You give them a final glance as you’re putting everything back in
the shed, knowing in the depths of your soul that all this has been
in vain. It’s a dead cert that as soon as you’ve
closed the front door your gleaming vehicle
will be splattered with random dollops
of seagull poo.
They know. They watch. They wait.
Automatic car wash, anyone?
The first glint of spring sunshine usually
highlights one stark reality – how badly
the car needs a wash. If yours is covered
in less-than-witty-messages scrawled with
a thoughtful person’s finger, it’s time to
unearth all that cleaning equipment you
buried in the shed around last October,
and get cracking. This, of course, is when
you discover the shortcoming of your
hosepipe, which now resembles a dead boa
constrictor. Then, after a fruitless search for all those brushes and
sponges you store up for car-washing, you remember how they
were all relegated to the wheelie bin as being too disgusting to
continue using. You had every intention of replacing them,
of course. But didn’t.
Let’s assume you’ve sorted out the kit and, gritting your teeth,
you get started. It’s drizzling a bit, but what the heck? You notice
the gathering seagulls perching on a nearby roof as, covered in suds
(80% on you, 20% on the car) you battle grimly on.
The drizzle eases and at last you stand back, contemplating your
handiwork in some amazement. The seagulls are looking decidedly
interested now.

In the Mood for a family event at Tangmere
There’s a great day out for the whole family at Tangmere Military Aviation Museum this month – with oodles of special attractions as well as the permanent museum exhibits. With stalls and competitions, a treasure hunt, a fire engine, Southdown bus and police car on display, re-enactors, open cockpits to explore and special visits from several Military Vehicles – there’s plenty to keep everyone occupied. During the afternoon, there’s also a rare opportunity to meet WWII veterans of RAF Bomber Command, as they’re on hand to sign prints, cards and books available in the Museum Shop, in aid of Bomber Command Memorial Fund.
Check out the special book launch of Great War to Great Escape, the story of Bernard ‘Pop’ Green who participated in the real ‘Great Escape’ and later lived in Chichester. The book’s author is Pop’s grandson, who will be there for two signing sessions.
Why not get right “in the mood” and come dressed as a 1940s family? It’s all happening at Tangmere, near Chichester on Sunday May 15 – don’t miss out!
Tangmere Military Aviation Museum is open every day from February to the end of November from 10am. There’s good disabled access, too. Visit the website for admission and event details at www.tangmere-museum.org.uk, or call 01243 790090.

Is it a bird, is it a plane?Wendy Greene talks to Robin Hallett about the joys, rules and responsibilities of kite surfing in Worthing
Robin Hallett was happily
windsurfing in Maui, feeling
great at having achieved a
high level of proficiency, when
something flying above his
head caught his eye. It was a
kite manned by Robbie Naish
the man, in part, responsible
for inventing the sport of kite
surfing and its manufacture.
“I was captivated,” says
Robin, founder member of
Goring Watersports Club.
“I took the first opportunity to
meet the man, learn the basics
and buy the equipment.”
Since then Robin has used
the teaching skills employed
in his day job, running Oak
Grove College Sixth Form, to
develop his own specialised kite
surfing school from Goring’s
Greensward.
As with many new activities,
the law has to catch up with
the invention, and the National
Governing Body for Kite Surfing
(BKSA) was set up to regulate
the sport. Robin soon found,
however, that one-size-fits-all
regulations didn’t necessarily
work in Worthing, so with
continued negotiation with the
BKSA and Worthing Borough
Council has formulated ways to
keep, not just the kite surfers,
but also other Greensward users
safe, happy and having fun.
Robin isn’t just passionate
about his sport. He cares deeply
about the local community and
the training and education of his
students. As Robin points out,
the Greensward is for everyone
and with a little guidance can
continue to be a focus of life-
long leisure for all. Respect,
and Health and Safety are
paramount.
“Legally the limit for teaching
kite surfing is four students to
each teacher with two kites,”
says Robin, “but with the
formation of Goring Watersports
Club, we’ve restricted this to
one kite per instructor at the
Greensward, which the council
welcomes. It doesn’t take long
to become proficient, but unless
you’re taught how, when and
where to launch, there can be
serious implications.”
There are strict rules in
learning to kite surf to ensure
safe progression, and students
can only join the club via the
BKSA, gaining 3rd Party Liability
Insurance right from the start.
Those who are fully trained
need to check before visiting
other parts of the coast as bye-
laws vary. Even along the Sussex
coastline, there are variations
in permitted usage. Use of land
boards, for example, is totally
outlawed in this area, yet
permitted elsewhere.
Robin’s dedication and
enthusiasm makes him the sort
of teacher you wish you’d had
at school. His inclusive outlook
and attention to detail have
ensured that Goring
Watersports Club, as
well as his kite surf
school ‘Kitesurfsussex’
will bring pleasure
to spectators and
participants alike,
while putting
Worthing firmly on the
watersports map.

PAVILION THEATRE, WORTHING
“A TRIUMPHANT EVENING...UNMISSABLE AND UNBEATABLE”- The Spectator
Ticketsfrom £16(Concs:£3 off)
Win tickets for Blood Brothers at the Pavilion
Twin Liverpool lads separated as babies and brought up in two very different households – are they destined to find each other and make an eternal bond, or is their path simply a road to destruction? It’s a gripping tale and a powerful piece of theatre. It’s Willy Russell’s smash hit musical Blood Brothers, and it’s coming to the Pavilion Theatre in Worthing at the end of this month.
Willy Russell is undeniably one of this country’s leading
contemporary dramatists. His countless credits include Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine, both of which moved from the stage to become award-winning films. Blood Brothers was voted Most Popular British Musical of all Time by New York Times readers.
At the Pavilion there’s a sensational cast headed by X Factor finalist Niki Evans, as the twins’ downtrodden mum Mrs Johnstone. And with songs like A Bright New Day, Marilyn Monroe and the emotionally charged hit Tell Me It’s Not True – you’re in for an enthralling and heart-rending evening. Our advice is – bring a big box of tissues!
We’ve got 5 pairs of tickets for opening night of the show, on Monday May 30 at 7.30pm. To enter our prize draw, just answer the following question:
Which Hollywood legend is the title of a famous song from Blood Brothers?
Write your answer on a postcard, together with your contact details and send it to Essentially Worthing Blood Brothers Competition, 7 Phrosso Road, Worthing, BN11 5SJ, to arrive no later than Monday May 16. Only one entry per household, please – and don’t forget to include a daytime phone number.
Blood Brothers runs at the Pavilion Theatre from Monday May 30 – Saturday June 4 at 7.30pm. Matinees: Wednesday and Saturday at 2.30pm
Tickets – £16 – £30.50 depending on performance. Youth groups of ten or more, £11.00. Over 60s £3 discount. (Offers do not apply to Friday or Saturday evenings.)

Award-winning local restaurant Green Cuisine in Worthing’s Rowlands Road are well known for their brilliant events organised to support local and national charities, including WADARS, WCHP and St Matthew’s Church Hall Extension Project. In May their charity of the month is Greek Animal Rescue (GAR), a charity which seeks out stray and abandoned animals abroad and helps to re-home them in Britain. Worthing couple Paul and Titch are actively involved.
“We’ve rescued eight stray dogs from Greece, all of whom suffered terrible abuse in the past,” says Titch. “Our latest
Green Cuisine – doing their bit to help abandoned animals
addition, Oratios, is a stray dog from Athens who was badly scarred in an acid attack. He then spent seven years chained to a tree, so he is now enjoying every moment of his new-found freedom!”
Titch and Paul travel to Greece twice a year, taking supplies to shelters and assisting vets on Spay-athons, where as many stray cats and dogs as possible are sterilised to help control the population. They also bring dogs and cats to new homes in Germany, Holland, Belgium and the UK.

Rustington Manor re-opens at last – under new ownershipFine dining in a country house atmosphere
Here’s the best news we’ve heard in a while. Rustington Manor Hotel, together with Lodwick’s Restaurant and Bar, is now open – and it’s under completely new ownership. Everyone who knows Bob and Ken – that daring duo of top class restaurateurs and hoteliers from Ferring – will be delighted to see their friendly faces at Rustington Manor. There’s a warm welcome for new customers, too.
Rustington Manor is a cosy, family-run hotel, with a real country house atmosphere we know you’ll love. It’s situated in a peaceful spot in Broadmark Lane, just five minutes walk from Rustington village in one direction, and the sea in another. There’s a friendly bar, a relaxing lounge, a superb a la carte restaurant and a pretty, enclosed garden that’s perfect for al fresco drinks or coffee.
Lodwick’s Restaurant boasts a seriously scrumptious a la carte menu in an elegant setting, offering fine dining without the impossible price tag. You could start with Potted Crab – flaked crabmeat and prawns with a lemon tang, topped with butter and served with warm granary toast. Or how about Flame Grilled Red and Yellow Peppers served on goat’s cheese
bruschetta and accompanied with a zesty chilli chutney?
Moving on to main courses, we like the sound of Lodwick’s special Rosemary and Garlic Lamb Shank – slow cooked and served on a bed of creamy potato mash, with a generous smothering of mint, carrot and onion gravy. It’s comfort food of the highest order. If you love veggie dishes, you have

If you’re throwing your diet to the four winds, take a look at the dessert menu. You’re bound to succumb to White Chocolate and Amaretto Brulée Tart – or perhaps you’d prefer to give the Warm Pear and Almond Tart a whirl. You just can’t beat the taste of sliced pears and almond frangipane in a sweet pastry case, served with Sussex honey crème Anglaise and pistachio ice cream – so don’t hesitate a moment longer!
The a la carte menu is available at lunchtime and in the evening – and main course prices range from £8.95 to £16.95, so there’s no need to take out a second mortgage. The special Lunch Menu, served between 12 noon and 2.30pm, offers two courses for £8.95 or three courses for £10.95.
And if you’re a fan of the leisurely Sunday lunch (who isn’t?) you can enjoy roasts with all the trimmings, traditional main courses, starters, salads and desserts – with two courses for £13.95 or three courses for £17.95.
Ladies Who Lunch are well catered for at Rustington Manor with a special monthly club of the same name, which begins at 12 noon on Thursday May 12.

Per person:
6 or 7 small new potatoes,
scrubbed but not peeled (if
large, cut them in half)
3 garlic cloves, crushed (wet
garlic can also be used)
leaves from a sprig of rosemary
or a few sprigs of thyme or
summer savory, chopped
1 tbsp virgin olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground
black pepper
Place the potatoes in a bowl
with the garlic, herbs and olive
oil. Season well and toss to
coat in the oil and seasonings.
Cut a square of baking
parchment large enough to
hold the potatoes comfortably
and fold it in half to make a
crease. Unfold it and lay the
potatoes on the lower half.
Bring the rest of the paper
over the potatoes and roll it
up lightly along the edges to
form a pouch (a bit like making
a pasty). Make sure that the
package is well sealed. You can
staple it, if you like.
Bake in an oven preheated
to 200°C/Gas Mark 6 for 40
minutes and serve immediately.
The packages will puff up.
Put them on serving plates so
everyone can open theirs at the
table.
Try adding a little saffron to
the potatoes with the oil and
seasonings.
Green Cuisine’s Charity of the Month is Greek Animal Rescue (see our special feature on page 7).
The Greek theme continues with a delicious Greek salad on the menu – and £1 from each dish sold will be donated to GAR. Plans are afoot for a special Greek Night on Saturday June 11, with a tasty Greek Meze, a mini-quiz, raffle, music and a fully licensed bar. Tickets are £15 and all profits go to GAR. We know this is going to be hugely popular, so make sure you contact Green Cuisine and book early.
Green Cuisine are flushed with success after winning Best New Business at the Splash Awards this year. If you’d like more information about the charity events planned at this excellent little restaurant, call 01903 211338.

The Curse of the Short Lease
What’s more, an unexpired term
of less than 70 years makes
the flat unmortgageable with
many mainstream lenders.
Faced with such problems many
leaseholders approach their
freeholders for lease extensions
and, not knowing they can
challenge the terms offered,
agree to the freeholder’s offer.
However, leaseholders
have rights under the 1993
Leasehold Reform, Housing &
Urban Development Act which
gives them the legal right to
a statutory lease extension.
This statutory lease extension
gives leaseholders a 90 year
extension to add on to their
existing unexpired term. It also
includes the extinguishment
of any further ground rent
payments and the right to have
the premium determined by the
Leasehold Valuation Tribunal,
if this cannot be agreed.
Such terms are far better
than those normally offered
by agreement, which typically
include an extension to a new
term of only 99 years, with a
high ground rent that increases
regularly and an inflated
premium. Before agreeing to
the freeholder’s offered terms,
leaseholders are advised to seek
their own independent advice.
Julian Wilkins is an
independent chartered
surveyor who specialises in
the valuation and negotiation
of lease extensions. He is also
the only Surveyor in West
Sussex to be a member of
the Association of Leasehold
Enfranchisement Practitioners.
For an informal no obligation
telephone consultation
regarding your own situation
please call Julian on
01903 872211.
An unexpired lease term of less than 80 years on a residential flat is
considered to be short and can affect saleability, says Julian Wilkins
The ‘Right to Manage’ your own flatsIt’s simpler than you think, says Simon Royall at Oyster Estates
The Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 provides the right for leaseholders to force the transfer of the landlord’s management functions to a special company set up by them – the right to manage company.
The process is relatively simple. The landlord’s consent is not required, nor is any order from the court. There is no need for the lease-holders to prove mismanagement by the landlord. The right is available, whether the landlord’s management has been good, bad or indifferent.
The right is exercised by service of a formal notice on the landlord. After a set period of time, the management transfers to the right to manage company (RTM), which has been set up by the leaseholders. Once the right to manage has been acquired,
the landlord is also entitled to membership of the company.
If the takeover of the management is to be successful, there are important issues to consider and a substantial amount of work to be done before service of the notice. You should also be aware of the responsibilities that come with self management, which is not for the inexperienced. It would be wise to appoint an experienced agent to look after the RTM and everyday management issues.
Oyster Estates are able to guide you through the process, report to the directors of the RTM and manage the asset on your behalf. We are a member firm of ARMA (The Association of Residential Managing Agents) and are required to adhere to RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) code of practice. We manage blocks between Chichester and Shoreham.
If you’d like to find out more about RTM, call Oyster Estates on 01243 586939 or visit the website at www.oysterestates.co.uk

Does your website have Killer Content?In my experience, writing website content is something
business owners dread, and is often not given the time it
deserves, says Claire Love at LWS Creative
Your website is often the first place people look to find out about you and your product or service. Unless the copy is engaging, interesting, current and well written, you can bet some of your visitors will decide not to investigate further – and you’ll lose some or all of those potential clients. The trick is to use compelling, fluent content, ensuring at the same time that what you write gives you the best chance of your site appearing in the search results. It’s no easy task, so here are some pointers:
Make your titles catchy – include some grabbers, like “top tips” or “top 10s”
Make your content unique and ensure spelling and grammar are correct
Ask yourself questions – then answer them. You can bet your reader wants the answers, too
Lead people to the next stage – send them where you want them to go with internal links
Don’t forget to promote your site and your content. Get on blogs, forums and more—and ensure people read what you have to say
Do some research! Find out what’s popular, and write about it.
Creating killer content is certainly an art. If it’s not for you, or you simply don’t have time, it’s wise to invest in an expert. Give us a call on 01903 790100 or email [email protected].

Need any lifting and shifting?I can help you with a complete spring clear out,
says Garfy at Star Solutions
If the thought of climbing
the loft ladder fills you with
dread, or your car has been
banished to the driveway
because you just can’t fit it
into the garage – you
could be in need of a
major clear out session.
Garages, sheds and loft
areas are notorious
for accumulating
mountains of stuff you
don’t need, and for
most of us, it’s a matter of
“out of sight, out of mind.”
But now spring is well and
truly here, you can’t put it off
any longer. Let me help you
get to grips with it all. At Star
Solutions we offer a complete
clearance service, from single
items to the full works –
disposing of your unwanted
clutter simply, efficiently and
safely.
Need a bed moved upstairs
or heavy furniture shifted
within a room? I do all the
work, so you don’t have to lift
a finger. What’s more, I’m a
licensed waste carrier, so you
can be sure everything will be
properly disposed of, in line
with environmental waste
regulations.
And if you call me out for a
job this month and right
through until the end
of August, I’ve pledged
to give 10% of the cost
to St Barnabas Hospice –
so we’ll both be helping
a really worthwhile
local charity.
Garfy is an ex-police
officer and ambulance driver.
He’s completely reliable and prides himself on a friendly, personal approach to the whole business of lifting and shifting. Call Star Solutions on 07748 023923 or email [email protected] for advice and a free estimate.
We provide...subsidised veterinary treatment to pets of local
people receiving certain means-tested benefits or
bona-fide homeless, including many pensioners.
Although receiving fees, we rely heavily on donations
and legacies to cover our costs. Further subsidies
are available towards micro-chipping, neutering and
vaccinating puppies and kittens, and towards major
treatments or referrals beyond owners’ means. We
carry out some 4,000 consultations and 500 operations
a year, using extensive equipment and facilities and
helping prevent animal suffering and ill-health

A-tishoo! Are you under attack from pollen? Here’s how to minimise the misery
All allergies are the result of an
immune system over-reacting to
normally harmless substances,
such as pollen or house dust—
and they’re no joke. If you’re
unlucky enough to suffer from
hay fever, you’re not alone.
There are 12 million people in
Britain with exactly the same,
pollen-triggered symptoms –
sneezing, coughing, wheezing,
tightness in the chest,
difficulty in breathing
and red, itchy eyes.
Fortunately, there’s
quite a lot you can do
to minimise the misery.
Treat your symptoms.
Over the counter
anti-histamines,
available from your
local pharmacist, work
wonders on runny
noses and itchy eyes.
Take advice about these
if you’re pregnant,
however.
Use your car’s air-conditioning.
Okay, it’s not the same as
letting the wind waft through
your hair, but it will protect you
from all those pollen clouds as
you drive along.
Consider an air filter. Keeping
the air clean in your house can
bring relief from pollen and
other irritants like pet dander.
HEPA (high-energy particulate
arresting ) filters are the most
efficient. When the air filter is
in use, remember to keep the
door closed, so the machine
won’t be overburdened.

Kicking off for the summerNick Osborne’s a serious fan of the beautiful game
If you’ve ever listened to me
on the radio it will come as
no surprise that I am a big
football fan. In fact, if you
listen often enough you’ll
probably know that I’m avid
supporter of Brighton & Hove
Albion. And if you have more
than a passing interest in the
beautiful game, you will know
that I am a very happy boy right
now! The reason, of course, is
that my beloved Seagulls have
been promoted to the NPower
Championship next season in
the same summer as we move
into our magnificent new 22,500
all-seater stadium at Falmer.
For non-football fans this
means we are now just one
league away from the Premier
League and teams like Chelsea
and Manchester United. As
perfect timings go, this really
couldn’t have worked out
any better for the fans and
the club. The season ticket
sales for the new American
Express Community stadium
are through the roof (which
is ironic, as at the AMEX we
will now actually have a roof!)
I’m also delighted to have
secured my seat in the West
Stand Upper tier, which I’m
sure will be worth every penny.
At this point I feel it is worth
noting that there will be bar
facilities with a wide variety
of beverages available within
the ground. So if you are in
the same stand as me, mine’s
a lager!
When it came to writing
this column I had only one
thought in my head, such is
the excitement surrounding
the future of the Albion.
I know I’m not alone.
Whenever I get the train
from Worthing station to
the Withdean to watch the
matches, the platforms
are always full of blue
and white shirts – and
some very happy faces,
to boot! Just think,
next season we will all
be getting the train to
Falmer rather than to
Preston Park!
So in a nutshell, this is one
very exciting Summer – and not
just because of football related
euphoria.

Where the heart isWraysbury’s a home in the true sense
When someone reaches a stage of their life when they need to live in a secure, protected environment, they want to be sure they can still remain as active as possible. At Wraysbury, the brand new EMI home in Beccles Road, there are ample opportunities to stimulate the mind and exercise the body to full potential.
The building, which has been completely refurbished, is laid out so that each en suite room
is the resident’s private domain while remaining part of the community. Assisted baths are also available on each floor. There are three newly available, beautifully appointed south facing bed-sitting rooms, an elegant lounge, a library and smart dining room to give a real country house hotel feel. The large conservatory running behind these rooms can be used all year round, with views of the garden which is accessed
by gently sloping ramps. It is currently laid to lawn and rose beds but will soon have raised beds added. Meanwhile the leafy surround gives a pleasant, calm outlook from inside the conservatory.
Says Alice Bock, “I want the residents to feel relaxed and completely at home. Our ethos is to allow each individual to live life according to their own choices – not those prescribed by others. Having a secure site, we don’t need to lock doors or over-medicate unnecessarily.”
Wraysbury House was originally bequeathed to Worthing Society for the Blind, who ran it as a home for many years before selling it to raise funds for their new needs. Alice has taken this lovely old house and re-modelled it to the standard and style she requires. She is very happy to give a guided tour to anyone interested in securing a place.
“There’s plenty of entertainment and activities – as well as a hairdressing salon and aromatherapy sessions,” says Alice.
Respite care is also available, giving carers a chance for a well-earned break. It’s also a good way to find out if it’s the way forward for an elderly infirm relative who is struggling at home.
You’ll find Wraysbury at 2 Beccles Road (near the Heene Road end of Richmond Road). For more information, or to book an appointment, call 01903 233539, e-mail [email protected] or visit www.wraysburyhouse.co.uk
