From Father Ian

As we use Lent to prepare us for the great celebration of Easter, I encourage you to come and worship with us as we enter into the liturgies which make our commemorations much more than history. Last year we had a great turnout on Easter Day - do be part of the celebration on Easter Day at 10am. Blessings to you all.

From the Archbishop of York "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water." John 4.15 At this time of the year, when the excitement of Christmas is over, the joy of Easter still a long way off, when days are grey and cold and spring seems just a faint hope, life can seem dreary and dull. ‘The trivial round, the common task’ seem to be failing in the promise of John Keble’s hymn, to ‘furnish all we need to ask’. Amid the tedium of the humdrum and the expected we can be tempted to look for easy substitutes for joy. The woman at the well, in John’s gospel, had tried other diversions, but five husbands and a new partner had failed to give her the refreshment her soul craved. She was tired and unsatisfied both with the unchanging water of the well, and with the distractions of other temptations. What was needed is a remedy that will last, that will be always fresh. She longs for the living water that Jesus offers, so that her life will no longer feel unfulfilled and stale. We too, in times of dryness, need to shift our focus from the distractions of the world, and focus on a radical way of living which is new every morning. We need to remember the way John Keble’s hymn begins: New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life and power and thought. This Lent may we focus on the constant renewing of our life through Jesus Christ’s love. ++Ebor

Well done to the staff, pupils and governors of Boxgrove School. Following a recent OFSTED inspection, the school continues to be rated as GOOD.

Last Year at Kwa Mkono

Five new children have joined the Centre, two for kindergarten and three going to primary school. All the play equipment has been renewed and a new seesaw installed. In the dormitories each child now has cupboard space for personal belongings and all the beds have new mattresses. A link to the major hospital at Muheza means that an orthopaedic team will visit regularly to assess all the children, to advise on physiotherapy and train the staff to administer it. Ten children are to be seen by a consultant surgeon to see if an operation would help them; this may cost £150 each.

The main yearly rains were better than in previous years, so maize and beans have been planted in the farm fields. In the vegetable gardens near the centre, the children have helped plant cabbages, onions, tomatoes and okra, with the hope of a surplus to sell. The chickens are doing well, with more chicks surviving to provide meat and eggs. The water supply has improved, with a borehole in the valley proving viable and pure. The tractor and trailer can collect water for the Centre while investigations are done for a pump and pipeline. The new enlarged hall is being rented out for weddings, meetings and parties for locals; this has increased the use of the rest house for overnight stays, and hence income. An exciting new development is the building of two new dormitories for ten boys and ten girls, funded by Polio Children [the UK/USA charity that provided the Land Rover in 2012]. The foundations were started in October and completion is hoped for in January 2018. Information from the Kwa Mkono Disabled Children’s Trust: www.kwamkono.org.uk

THE OPTIMISTIC GARDENER High Trees - February 2018 - No.111 Here we come a-wassailing

Yesterday, as I was taking my not-quite-daily constitutional (well to be honest not- quite-weekly in the current rain-lashed weather), I cycled past Slindon's community orchard and noticed a large, rambling apple tree which was charmingly bedecked with colourful ribbons. I remembered that three days ago had been 17th January, which is the date in the calendar to go a-wassailing!

The tradition of wassailing in orchards developed in the cider-producing areas of where various rites take place to bring about a good harvest for the coming year. It goes back to the pre-Gregorian calendar when "Old Twelvey Night" (as we yokels call it) was on 17th January. The idea is to wake up the cider apple trees and scare away evil spirits. What happens in different parts of the country may vary but they usually all have the same core elements. A wassail King and Queen lead the singing wassailers from one orchard to the next, the wassail Queen is lifted up into the branches of an ancient tree, where she will place toast soaked in cider as a gift to the tree spirits. An incantation is recited, such as:

Here's to thee, old apple tree, That blooms well, bears well. Hats full, caps full, Three bushel bags full, An' all under one tree. Hurrah! Hurrah!

Then the wassailers bang drums and shout loudly making a terrible racket until one shoots a volley through the branches to complete the work.

Apparently 'wassail' comes from 'Waes hael!', the Anglo-Saxon greeting and toast which means 'Good Health!' So two or three years ago we decided that it would be propitious to have a go at wassailing our apple trees. I occasionally sing folk music with a group of singers who particularly enjoy the music from Sussex and used to meet monthly at the Murrell Arms in Barnham. I invited them to join us after a session in the pub; a session of singing of course - what else did you think? We strolled through the streets of Barnham crooning suitable music - it's a wonder we weren't all arrested - and into our garden.

I crowned our wassail King and Queen (King Mike and Queen Emma - ring any bells?) with crowns constructed from lengths of ivy and decorated with various berries from the garden. We sang a wassail song and lifted Queen Emma to sit in the branches of

/continued

Page 8 of the tree where she placed pieces of cider-soaked toast amongst the branches. King Mike poured a ring of cider around the tree then recited an incantation to the spirits of the place and the gathered throng echoed his words. Then in want of anyone with a twelve bore, we set off a volley of party poppers amongst the boughs and the tree was beaten about the trunk with the sticks we were all carrying. This is possibly where we went wrong!

After the ceremony we celebrated by lots of quaffing of apple related goodies. There was mulled cider with mulled apple juice for careful drivers. I had baked some Handwarmer Pies - chestnut and apple pasties - and made some apple and mushroom soup. And of course the food in its unprocessed state could be munched. More singing finished the evening and as the wassailers disappeared over the horizon I was left with a warm glow, safe in the knowledge that this year would be the best apple crop yet!

Despite all this attention, that was the year that my elderly Laxton's Advance tree - the one into which we had lifted our wassail queen - died! Well being the optimist I saw the demise of our oldest apple tree as an opportunity not a tragedy and we now have a wild flower area with wild daffodils, snowdrops and bluebells in the early part of the year and later on we will have wild flowers to attract the insects and the opportunity to carry out some scything practice.

Waes hael!

BOXGROVE PARISH COUNCIL NEWS

Cllr Paul Addison and I attended a meeting of the WSCC Pathwatch team at the SDNPA Offices in on Tuesday 13th February, along with about 18 representatives of Public Rights of Way, SDNPA, the National Trust and the Police and a handful of representatives of Parish Councils throughout the District.

Angela Ward, who co-ordinates the Pathwatch team, opened the meeting and we learned that instead of Pathwatch, Farmwatch and Horsewatch, the three will soon be combined under one umbrella called Countrywatch. It will soon have its own website where reports of all anti Countryside incidents can be reported and where information may be found. Other PC members reported the continuing use of PROWs by motorcyclists and the Police Officer present advised that these are a danger to public safety and should be reported using 999 not the slow 101 number. We seem to be fortunate in that we are no longer plagued by these nuisances on the footpaths on the common. I raised the issue concerning the Kissing Gate crossing into Tinwood Lane (footpath 369). The PROW Officer present was the same man who had inspected it and deemed it to be acceptable in his response to the complaint made by Mr David Leah. I disagreed with him and said that something must be done to improve its safety. At the February meeting I asked the Clerk to write a very strong letter of complaint to English Heritage iterating our disgust at the state of the pathway leading to the St Blaise Centre and the Priory and associated ruins. It is a disgrace and a danger to the less sure footed, and no end of patching by volunteers will have any positive effect. The PCC have complained, as have I and other members of the community who use this access, but to no avail.

The development of 22 houses on Boxgrove Farm land has stalled; the original developer, Bargate Homes, had the detailed planning application refused at Committee and I have learned that they have sold it to another speculator.

So, we await another detailed application. Currently, this application has joined the list of 2,560 houses in the District which have Planning Permissions but not yet even started!!! However, the detailed application for the 3 houses in Priors Acre should be with the Planning Officers very shortly.

The silhouette of the lone soldier 'Coming Home' which the Parish Council purchased to commemorate the end of the Great War in 1918 has arrived and is with our Clerk. It has been decided to site it at the crossroads in Halnaker later in the year. It should also commemorate all those millions who died in that horrible War.

More news can be found on the Parish Council website at boxgrovepc.org. Or the Community website boxgrove.org.

NEWS FROM BOXGROVE WI Our meeting this month fell on Valentine’s Day and Sandy Bannister opened the meeting as Chris Potter was attending a Funeral. Sandy welcomed everyone, including three guest members from Chichester, and then introduced the speakers, Sue and Clive Fennell, who spoke about the 'Not So Idle' women who worked the Canals in Wartime. They did a remarkable job and only quite recently were they awarded Medals for their efforts! During a Valentines Tea provided by Jill Dipple, Janet Holt from Singleton & East Dean WI presented an outline of what was happening during the forthcoming Members' Meeting at the Motor Circuit. The WI have been invited to have a presence in the 'Daffodil Marquee' and Janet wondered if we wished to join them. It was agreed that some of us would attend to help promote the WI. A thank-you letter has been received from Cancerwise for the £100.00 donation made by Members instead of the usual Secret Santa fund-raiser. Also, extracts from a letter received from Lynn Stubbings, our National Chairwoman, regarding the recent reports in the Press concerning the cost of subscriptions. We were also informed of the St George’s Day and Shakespeare’s birthday event in Lancing, a Cryptic Crossword Day in and the Calendar competition.

Boxgrove CofE United Voices Concert Primary School at the Chichester Festival Theatre The Street, Boxgrove on 18 January , PO18 0EE

Wow, Wow, Wow! As a school we felt very proud of Owl Class (Y5/6 children) on Thursday 18 January as they stood on the stage at the Chichester Theatre to sing in the United Voices Concert with songs representing the United Nations Convention on Children’s Rights (we are a Rights Respecting School - see the link on our school website for further information). The children in Owl Class had rehearsed well, learnt all the songs and sang with such confidence alongside the children from the Chichester Free School, Chichester High School, Central CE Academy, Kingsham Primary School, Jessie Younghusband School, Lavant CEP School, North Primary School, Parklands Community School, Singleton CEP School, The March CEP School and West Dean CEP School. We enjoyed the concert enormously. For me, my favourite song was “Ain’t gonna let nobody”, closely followed by “Believe”. Alex Pay and Casey Woodcock had drawn a picture to represent the song “Build it High”, which was printed in the programme. Bethanie Foden and Tyler Hill closed the concert saying “Thank you” to various different people. They spoke with such clarity and confidence it was wonderful to watch, and Lola-May Williams presented a bouquet of flowers to Emily Barden on behalf of all the schools: Emily had been the person who had spear-headed the whole project. It was a fantastic evening: the sound when all the children were singing was just beautiful. Kim Thornton Headteacher

HOLY WEEK – a user’s guide by Fr Ian

HOSANNA! It’s PALM SUNDAY, and the most sacred time in the Church’s year is beginning ... Holy Week. The temptation with Holy Week is to see it as a series of events in the life of Jesus being commemorated one at a time, but to treat it like this is to miss the point. Holy Week must be seen as a single observance with an integral unity of purpose and proclamation. Try to think of it like this: It’s a procession which begins with palms and branches on Palm Sunday and continues throughout the week as we follow Jesus through his Passion to the glory and wonder of his resurrection. There really isn’t a lot of point in 'picking and choosing' the parts of the journey that we are prepared to make with him - for if He is at the centre of our lives, to abandon him at various points of the journey (except for very serious reason) can only add weight to the cross he bears. So, will you follow Jesus faithfully in the whole procession of Holy Week? If you do, it will be your privilege to share in some of the richest ceremonies and rites that the Church possesses. The notes which follow are intended to help you understand a little better some of the symbolism and action which makes up this liturgy. For some, it may explain the reason for some of the revisions that have been made in the Holy Week services. Above all, however, I hope they will help you to enter more fully into the spirit of the week so that you will be fed both spiritually and emotionally by a drawing- closer to Jesus, our Messiah and Lord. We know from the writings of the 'early Fathers' of the Church some of the customs and ceremonies that were observed to mark Holy Week and Easter in the Primitive Church. Among the most interesting of the records that are available are the writings of a fourth century nun called 'Egeria' (or sometimes translated 'Etheria'). She witnessed the observances for Holy Week in Jerusalem itself, and a comparison of the customs observed there in the fourth century and our contemporary services shows that there is much in common between the two. The emphasis in the early Church was on the whole 'PASCHAL' mystery, which includes the Passion, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus. The word 'PASCHAL' comes from the Greek PASKA and Hebrew PASSOVER. This Jewish feast of the PASSOVER, you will recall, is a celebration of the saving work of God for his chosen people when he led them from captivity in Egypt. The PASSOVER or PASCHAL lambs were slaughtered in order to mark the gateposts of the Israelites so that the Angel of Death would recognise them and spare them. It is in connection with this sacrificial image that we call Jesus 'Lamb of God'. But, to the point: protestant theology often encourages us to see the Passion and death of Jesus as the saving act and this, in turn, has given rise to the idea of 'penal substitution' and other wrong and incomplete doctrines. The Catholic Church (East and West) has always pointed to the unity of the Passion, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus as his saving work, and the Holy Week liturgy, together with the Eucharistic Prayers we use daily at the eucharist, are at pains to make this clear. So, the procession begins ... PALM SUNDAY: The important event on Palm Sunday is the procession itself, which represents Our Lord’s entry into Jerusalem - hence our moving in procession from a

continued ...

Page 15 place outside the church building into the building which itself represents Jerusalem. Historically, the people of each land have carried whatever fresh greenery was available to them - fresh and living because they are carried for the triumphal entry of a living King. In England we also carry palm crosses, which make a very suitable reminder throughout the year of our cry of 'Hosanna to the Son of David'. Do please bring a fair- sized branch with you to church for the procession and carry it along with your palm cross. Note that in the prayer of blessing for the branches and crosses, the emphasis is not on the things themselves but on the carrying of them in the procession. As the service begins, the Celebrant invites the people to begin 'this solemn celebration' - not just of the events of Palm Sunday but of 'Our Lord’s Paschal Mystery'. It is an invitation to take the week seriously. The service also makes it plain that we are being encouraged to join in fully and not be mere spectators. The eucharist is festal in character, with an unveiled cross carried in procession and red vestments worn. Those combine to make us think of Jesus our Messiah, Victor, and King - and perhaps draw us on to ponder his promised return. All this is placed into sharp contrast by the singing of the Passion story - a custom going back at least to the thirteenth century. The procession continues ... MAUNDY THURSDAY: The word 'Maundy' comes from a Latin word which used to begin the mass of the Lord’s supper: Mandatum novum do vobis - 'A new commandment I give you'. The evening of Maundy Thursday is the beginning of three days in Holy Week known by the Latin title SACRUM TRIDUUM (Sacred or Holy Three Days). It is a day of rich liturgical reality and symbolism packed, economically, into two celebrations of the Eucharist. In the morning, the Bishop celebrates the 'Eucharist of the Oils', usually in the cathedral. Often, if it is the custom of the diocese, the priests of the diocese concelebrate with him because this eucharist commemorates and celebrates Jesus as the 'Anointed One' and meditates upon the priestly characteristics of Christian ministry. At this service the bishop blesses three kinds of oil - the oils of baptism, of chrism (for confirmation and ordination) and of the sick. These oils are then brought back to the parish by the clergy. In many dioceses this is the service at which priests renew their vows. The evening eucharist of the Lord's Supper commemorates, of course, Our Lord's institution of Holy Communion and his command to "Do this in remembrance of me". Various aspects of this service help us to link the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and his words of self-offering as he shared the bread and wine with his disciples: 'This is my body' and 'This is my blood'. This eucharist, though restrained in some ways, is filled with joy. There may be a great paean of praise after the intoning of 'Glory to God in the Highest', which is repeated again on Holy Saturday - at, perhaps, the very next full eucharist to take place. The gospel reading recalls Jesus' washing of the disciples' feet, and this act of Jesus is repeated by the celebrant. The washing of the feet by Our Lord was not only a gesture of courtesy by Jesus as the host, but also underlined the importance of mutual service, love, and charity which characterises the Christian. Jesus, according to the narrative by St John, lays aside his garments to wash the disciples' feet, and his actions are a parable or model of his actual Passion - of his stripping, self-abasement and act of sacrificial love. (The ceremony of Maundy money performed by the monarch was originally an act of foot washing - hence the carrying of towels etc in the ceremony.)

/continued ...

Page 16

After communion has been given and a prayer said by the priest, the Blessed Sacrament is often carried with some solemnity to the altar of repose. In many churches, of course, the eucharist is not celebrated again until the first eucharist of Easter, and it is from the bread (and wine) consecrated on Maundy Thursday that Holy Communion may be distributed on Good Friday. A solemn watch - calling to mind Our Lord's time in the garden of Gethsemane - then begins and is a suitable time for us to respond to his question to the disciples "Could you not watch with me one hour?" The watch is continued solemnly - the altar may be decorated with flowers and candles. At midnight, the mood changes and the betrayal of Jesus is marked by the stark simplicity of the watch after the removal of all but two candles and all of the flowers. Meanwhile, after the eucharist, the church is stripped of all ornaments and many of its furnishings, recalling the stripping of Christ in his Passion. We continue to follow Jesus ... GOOD FRIDAY: This is a day which has always been observed by the Church as a day of fasting, a day of 'discipline and self-denial'. In church there are two main things: the preaching of the cross and the liturgy of the Passion. The liturgy of the Passion falls, really, into two parts: the Veneration of the Cross and the Service of the Pre-Sanctified. The liturgy is really the same sort of shape as our usual eucharist but with some exceptions and additions. It isn't really a eucharist at all, as there is no Eucharistic Prayer, though some churches may celebrate the whole eucharist in the normal way. The ministers enter and, because of the special solemnity of the day, may prostrate themselves before the altar instead of bowing. Then follows the Collect of the Day and the usual sequence of reading (Old Testament, psalm, New Testament, and gospel). The gospel reading is, like Palm Sunday, the proclamation of the Passion. After this there is a very solemn and ancient form of intercessions and these, in turn, are followed by the ceremony of the Veneration of the Cross. Although we know that in Jerusalem the cross that was venerated was reputed to be the actual cross on which Jesus died, and that as relics of this cross spread around the world so the ceremony was more widely observed, the cross which is now used is purely symbolic of Calvary. The act of veneration involves either kneeling for a moment or two in front of the cross or actually kissing it. This is in no way an inappropriate gesture, for it recalls the homage paid to a monarch at enthronement and here Jesus is enthroned for us on the cross. The act is symbolic and the homage is for Jesus. Like courtiers, we can offer him our pledge of loyalty and obedience. An alternative ceremony involves the cross being held high so that all can see it and worship our Saviour. By the second century the custom had evolved of the congregation taking home with them a portion of the Blessed Sacrament with which to communicate themselves during the week. This was before the introduction of a daily eucharist. Nowadays we still give Holy Communion outside of the eucharist for those who are housebound or sick - and even for those who have been unable to get to church, and request their communion. In this situation Holy Communion is often given in one kind only. This may seem a little strange but there are practical difficulties in reserving the consecrated wine for this purpose and the Church teaches that even if the Sacrament is received under only species or sign (ie the bread or the wine) both the Body and Blood of Jesus are received by the faithful for it is impossible to receive only 'part' of Jesus. Throughout most of the Western Church this is the custom today! So, after the Veneration of the Cross the Sacrament is brought from the Altar of

Page 17 /continued ...

Repose. All then join in the Lord's Prayer and then, after the usual invitation, come to the altar for Communion. After Communion prayers are said by the celebrant and all depart in silence. This is a day when we try to share in something of the desolation experienced by the first disciples of Jesus after his crucifixion. But, as we know, the procession is not over ... there is a pause while the Church waits with baited breath for the glory of the Resurrection to burst forth upon it ... THE PASCHAL VIGIL AND FIRST EUCHARIST OF EASTER: It is rather odd that some people pretend this service doesn't exist! There is often a great willingness and enthusiasm to come to the Midnight Mass of Christmas yet this greatest of the services of the year is often disregarded by people. The Church has been waiting in eager anticipation for the wonderful moment of Resurrection and surely it is good that we show our love for Jesus and his Church by gathering for this great celebration of our redemption. It is a huge privilege. The vigil begins outside the darkened church with the blessing of the 'new fire'. From this fire a large candle representing Jesus Christ (called the PASCHAL CANDLE) is lit. The candle is marked with the year of the celebration, the signs Alpha and Omega (the beginning and the end) and a large cross into which are inserted five grains of incense. The candle represents Jesus who is the light of the world and the five incense grains represent his five wounds. The light of the risen Christ scatters the darkness as the candle is borne solemnly into the church building. More and more candles are lit from it and each member of the congregation holds a candle to show that as baptised Christians they have a share in the new life of Christ and that, through baptism, we have all become a pure light - not of our own making, 'but through Jesus'. Then, when all have entered the church building, the deacon or a concelebrant sings the great Easter Proclamation - a "long cry of jubilation" celebrating the resurrection of the Lord. Then there is a time for quieter reflection as we listen to a series of readings from the Old Testament which speak of the wonderful works of God and show His faithfulness in bringing to fulfilment the salvation promised to his chosen people. These readings are interspersed with psalms and collects which reflect upon them. There are normally a series of between three and seven such readings which are followed by the singing of the 'Gloria' - again accompanied by the paean of praise with the ringing of bells and the sounding of a fanfare on the organ. (If you have a suitable bell, please take it and join in at this point. Ask your minister first!) The Gloria is followed by the Easter Collect and the epistle reading. After the epistle there is sometimes an extended version of a pre- gospel cry of "alleluia!", followed by the reading of the Gospel of the Resurrection. The next section of the service is concerned with baptism as new baptismal water is blessed. This was always, in the early Church, the great time of year for Baptism - often people would prepare for three years or more before coming to Baptism on this night - Rising with Christ from death to life. There is a chance for us all to renew our baptismal promises together. During the blessing of the water there is a piece of powerful sexual imagery as the PASCHAL CANDLE 'impregnates' the water. This sign of new life and vitality reminds us that as Christians we are constantly offered new creation and new life. The rest of the service is as usual except that our shout of "Alleluia" resounds at the dismissal - perhaps reminding us that we go out to the world as Christ's ambassadors with the message of new life! We wait then for the Ascension of Our Blessed Lord - perhaps freshly aware that our procession through the Paschal Mystery takes place within our overall pilgrimage towards a close union with Christ.

Anyone who attended the St Blaise Fair and sampled the delicious soup served on the lunch stall may like to try cooking some up for themselves, so here's the recipe, courtesy of Tim and Fiona Lamming: CARROT SOUP WITH GINGER By using olive oil in which to sweat off the veg and rice milk to finish, this warming winter soup can be enjoyed by vegans as well as vegetarians, as it contains no dairy or animal products whatsoever. You can also add a chopped celery stick and a medium sized chopped potato for extra bulk and texture if you like, as well as - or instead of - the cannellini beans.

Ingredients (serves 6) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 750g/1¾ lbs carrots, chopped 400g tin of white cannellini beans (including the liquid in the can) 2 teaspoons fresh root ginger, grated 1lt/1½ pts boiling water (enough to cover the veg mix and allow it to cook through) Carton of Alpro rice milk (or similar) to finish Freshly ground sea salt and black pepper to taste

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, sweat off the onion over a medium heat for 2-3 mins until they soften. Add ground black pepper. Do not allow the onions to colour. Add carrots (and celery and potato if using), cannellini beans (including the liquid from the can) and ginger, and stir to mix. You can add a little more olive oil at this point if required. Continue to sweat vegetable mix for a further 2 mins. Cover with boiling water, bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover saucepan with a lid and allow to simmer for about 20 mins or so until the carrots are well-cooked. Remove the pan from direct heat and either using a hand blender in the saucepan or by transferring the soup into a liquidiser blend everything together until smooth. With the soup concentrate back in the saucepan, add the rice milk to thin to your preferred consistency and additional salt and pepper to taste. Reheat gently to serve, without bringing back to the boil. If you want to make up a batch to freeze, allow the blended concentrate to cool, then portion into freezer containers. As a guide, allow one soup ladle per serving and an equal measure of rice milk or water when you make it up. To make up, defrost sufficient concentrate, bring to the boil and then dilute with rice milk or water to your preferred consistency to finish. Enjoy!

COMMUNITY UPDATE

Boxgrove Neighbourhood Plan Update Our Neighbourhood Plan is now reaching its final stages with most of the consultation phases now completed. The latest version taking these into account is available on the dedicated website https://www.boxgrovenp.co.uk/. Unfortunately, the lack of resources in Chichester planning department has created more delays in getting this to the next stage which is for it to be assessed by an external examiner. Once this is completed we will hold a public meeting before eventually holding a referendum so that the residents can formally approve it. It will then be adopted assuming the vote is positive. The good news is that the Parish Council has already taken up some of your wishes incorporated in the plan, especially your concerns about speeding traffic and public rights of way. The Traffic Calming group has developed a plan and is shortly to submit to WSCC for funding. A group has also been formed to liaise with the relevant people in WSCC who manage the footpaths. Boxgrove Quarry Liaison Committee Update The committee meets every six months to monitor progress and discuss issues raised by the residents. The main concern has been the mud on the road in Halnaker. Inert do have extensive wheel washing facilities but occasionally this has failed leading to potentially dangerous conditions. Inert are obliged to operate a wheel wash but the determination of the severity of the impact on the road is by Highways. Unfortu- nately, by the time they inspect, the damage is done. Inert have committed to keep this to a minimum and we believe that they are genuine in this aspiration. If there is a problem however the more people that report this the better, both to Inert and Highways. The good news is that Inert have imported 45% of the material required in just over 2 years and so the procession of tippers ought to finish in about 2 years’ time and complete on plan by Oct 2020. Over the last 2 years there has been much discussion about tippers speeding though Halnaker. Inert have supported us in clearly instructing and monitoring their own vehicles. In fact, they are contributing to traffic calming by slowing following traffic. The Inert drivers have clearly respected the residents. To recognise this they have been sent a letter of thanks and in anticipation of their continued support as Speedwatch ‘Ambassadors’, sticking to the limit. Traffic Calming Group The group is currently concentrating on Boxgrove and is in the process of compiling a Community Highways Scheme submission for the engineering solutions required in The Street, as presented to you last November. This scheme is very community benefit focussed and pitches us against other areas in the county. It is important therefore that our submission is well thought through and scores as high as possible against their criteria. The team is planning on presenting this to the PC at the next meeting for final approval and it will be submitted and published shortly afterwards. Once this has been completed we will do a similar exercise for Halnaker later in the spring. Just a word about Speedwatch: new volunteers are always required and I would encourage you all to become Speedwatch ‘Ambassadors’ travelling below the limit, both locally and beyond. Thumbs up to Peter and the team when you see them! Note from the editor: readers may David Leah enjoy the salutary tale on page 24! 12 Feb 2018

St Wilfrid’s DREAMBUILDING Fundraising Campaign One Year On

On its 30th Anniversary back in January 2017, St Wilfrid’s Hospice launched its public fundraising campaign to build a state of the art new hospice in Bosham to serve the local community. Since then, both the fundraising campaign and the development of the site have been progressing well, with 84% of the financial target now achieved. The Hospice is working hard to raise the remaining £2.5million in twelve months - a huge challenge for a small local charity. In June 2016, the site was a derelict mass of plants and greenhouses, resembling something of a jungle! Today, the footprint of the DREAMBUILDING is mapped out, and public site tours have commenced. Contractors Kier returned to site in early January to begin construction and after detailed consultation with staff, volunteers, patients and their families, the internal plans and designs have been signed off. An internal Hospice group has been established to look at future departmental operating needs and how they will use the building. Building will continue throughout 2018: key dates include Topping Out - the final piece of the structure put in place - in Spring 2018, with Fit-out - installation of equipment and furnishings - due in late 2018. Completion is due in the first quarter of 2019. To book a tour of the site, or to find out how to get involved in fundraising for the new Hospice, visit www.dreambuilding.org.uk Contractors Kier presenting the Hospice St Wilfrid's Hospice is planning to repeat the with a cheque for £6,658.12 in January, successful inaugural Dream Wheelers bike from funds raised during their 20/20 ride held last summer with a 3-night bike tour challenge last year. around the Normandy country-side from 17- 20 May taking in 100 miles of this beautiful area.

... on the subject of traffic calming: Smile, please ... A man was driving along when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding. Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly - but again the camera flashed. Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again - but again the traffic camera flashed. He tried a fourth time, with the same result. The fifth time, he was laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace. Two weeks later he got FIVE tickets in the mail - for driving without a seat belt.

Please don't forget to put any food you can spare in our bin just inside the inner church doors.

We collect for Stonepillow, which is a Christian charity helping the homeless. It also supports people who have just been discharged from hospital and have nowhere to go. All food is collected from the bin and delivered to Stonepillow within 3/4 days. They are always very grateful for any contributions. NB: The editor has put a weekly 'reminder' on her mobile!
