Greetings With our cup runs now over (notwithstanding next Tuesday's Senior Cup tie with Eastbourne Borough) tonight brings Bostik League football back to Culver Road as we welcome all associated with our visitors Greenwich Borough, who will be attempting to do something that Herne Bay, Phoenix Sports, East Grinstead Town and VCD Athletic have failed to do before them and return home with at least a point. Add into that mix defeated Corinthian, Heybridge Swifts, Poole Town, Ware, Corinthian-Casuals and Potters Bar Town and you realise that Culver Road has become something of a fortress for the Hornets since that August Bank Holiday debacle against Haywards Heath. That impressive record has not come by chance, of course. The players have worked incredibly hard to keep that run intact so they will have been as disappointed as the rest of us at being edged out by Bath City here on Sunday in the final qualifying round of the Buildbase FA Trophy. Yet if ever there was a case for claiming victory in defeat then this was surely it. For more than an hour we matched our higher-ranked opponents, making light of the seventy-one places that divided the sides, scored a wonderful goal and gave our second largest 'gate' of the season plenty to get excited by. In the end it was that little extra nous that comes with playing at a higher level that saw Bath through to a tie at Barnet, for which we wish them well.

As I mentioned in Sunday's programme, it's not often that we come up against a National League side so it was nice to know that we made a good impression on our visitors, both on and off the pitch. Comments on Bath's fans' forum suggest that some of their supporters would have been happy to settle for a replay at half-time, with one comparing the team very favourably against the likes of Lewes, while Charlie Harris was singled out for praise along with the club's website and match programme, not to mention our superb fans and the warmth of our hospitality. It's nice to know we're doing something right!

As a result of our exertions in the FA competitions, we find ourselves somewhat adrift of the top five but a victory tonight could take us into the play-off places on goal difference, depending on the result of the Whyteleafe/Hastings clash at Church Road. That we have as many as three games in hand on three of the sides above us should hold us in good stead but we know that means nothing unless we can convert those games into points and we face another testing task on Saturday when we host Whitstable Town here. Whitstable have had a tendency to both score and concede goals of late, beating Greenwich and Cheshunt 4-1 and 4-3 respectively but also losing 3-1 to Hastings, Brentwood Town and VCD so that should point to another entertaining affair at which your support would be very welcome. Then the last of six successive home matches (hoorah!) brings Eastbourne Borough to Lancing for the aforementioned Senior Cup third round tie (kick-off 7.15pm).

The challenge now for our players, and supporters, is to realise that the season is not over now that we are out of the FA Cup and Trophy and that we have a very realistic chance of securing a play-off place come the end of the season. There is an awful lot of football to be played yet, of course, and no-one is getting carried away but it makes a pleasant change to be talking in such positive terms this close to the end of the year! December could prove to be a pivotal month as we take on high-flying Hythe Town and Cray Wanderers, have a local derby with Three Bridges and then travel to play-off chasing Haywards Heath to try and atone for that disappointing home loss back in August. All mouthwatering stuff!

The club will be running a coach to the Hythe fixture, on Saturday 8th December, leaving Collyers at 1145 at the usual price of £12 return. Places can be booked through Club Secretary Jeff Barrett on 07712 888980 or [email protected].

Finally a reminder that tickets are still on sale for our big Christmas Prize Raffle, of which you will find more details further inside this programme. Tickets cost just £1 each from any club official or from Sue Bravery, who will be walking around the ground at every home match.

Enjoy the game

From the boss On Saturday we saw the fine margin between success and failure, especially in knockout competitions. Two harsh decisions went against us, the first when Rob O'Toole had a clear goal ruled out for offside after the ball had come to him off a Bath defender, and then right at the end when Tyrell was pulled back for a free-kick when he was clear in the box. It's really frustrating but I can't deny that Bath had a bit more than us and probably deserved their win. They were just that bit cuter than us, sharper, faster and more athletic, as you'd expect from a team that's two divisions higher but we didn't let ourselves down and the fans' reaction at the end of the match tells me that they felt the same. If Tyrell had taken his chance early on, or gone down when the 'keeper caught him, things might have been a bit different. If Smudge was available we could have played a different way but, on the balance of play, we didn't create enough chances in the second half and just ran out of ideas in the end. If I was being ultra-critical, I would say that we should have closed the ball down for their winner but at that stage tiredness is creeping in and you lack that little burst to go out and close it down that you might have had earlier in the match. But I really can't fault any of the players. We weren't overawed, we didn't park the bus or play long ball, we stuck to our beliefs and when we got the chance we tried to play. We didn't go toe-to-toe with them as they'd have opened us up but I think we managed to stop their offensive threat and there didn't look to be seventy-one places between the sides. In the last couple of seasons we wouldn't have had the mental capabilities to live with sides like that, or the ability, so I think our cup runs this season have shown that we're closing the gap on the top sides and I'm very proud of that. I was also proud of the fact that Bath had to change their tactics to beat us. They would have taken a look at us since the draw and known all about us so we changed things around slightly and all credit to the lads as they took it on without complaint. I probably don’t give the boys as much credit as they deserve at times so I'm happy to hold my hands up and say well done to all of them.

Unfortunately, having another match just forty-eight hours later meant that I had to take that into consideration when making our substitutions. Mets is our oldest player and Rob's legs had gone after putting in a real shift. It's given them, and Will, a little extra recovery time ahead of tonight's match and although it reduced our attacking threat with Rob not being there, I felt that even if we'd have managed to equalise and hold on for the draw, there was no benefit to us in having to go to Bath midweek with half a side missing through work and we certainly didn’t want another league match postponed. Greenwich are rapidly improving so to have to put them off for another couple of weeks would probably work against us. Don't get me wrong though, I'm still expecting a very tough game tonight. By all accounts they played very well against Truro on Saturday and had a good win against Faversham last week as well as turning over a strong Bishop's Stortford side in the Trophy so they're beginning to put a few results together. In many ways, tonight's match is more important than Sunday's as we're getting further away from the top group and we don’t want to be playing catch-up all season. Thankfully no-one’s pulled much further away from us after the weekend fixtures, only a point or so, but that’s only positive for us if we can deliver tonight.

We will have to assess the players because they all put in a big shift on Sunday so it's a case of how quickly they are able to recover. The last time we played two games in three days was at the end of August and we faded badly on the Monday although to be fair to my players, Haywards Heath hadn't played on the Saturday so were a lot fresher than us. Greenwich had a long journey back from the west country at the weekend so the travelling might have taken its toll a bit on them.

MATCH REPORT

Horsham 1 Bath City 2 Buildbase FA Trophy 3rd qualifying round Sunday 25th November 2018 Horsham's terrific FA Trophy adventure ended in disappointment at the weekend when they went down by the narrowest of margins to a Bath City side that sat seventy-one places above them in the National League South. The visitors were forced to give a debut to sixteen year old goalkeeper Harvey Wiles- Richards after regular custodian fell ill on Sunday morning but the Hornets, without the holidaying Chris Smith, were unable to trouble the youngster often enough in the face of a solid back four. Yet they started brightly enough, with Will Hoare warming the 'keeper's gloves after just two minutes. Joe Shelley was inches away from connecting with a dangerous free-kick by Charlie Harris but, despite their early promise, Horsham fell behind in the tenth minute to Bath’s first shot on target when a well-executed corner-kick routine was slammed into the net via a post by Jack Batten.

Despite the setback, Horsham fashioned a super chance to draw level when Tyrell Richardson-Brown broke through one-on-one against Wiles-Richards but his low shot was well stopped by the visiting goalkeeper who got down on the ground impressively to parry as his team-mates quickly cleared the danger. It was an encouraging response by The Hornets and they got their rewards just before the half hour. Referee Sunny Gill spotted a foul on Joe Shelley, right on the edge of the box, and from the resulting free-kick Charlie Harris put the ball perfectly into the top corner, via the underside of the crossbar, to bring the sides level again. However, The Romans should have gone back in front before the interval when Sean Rigg’s excellent cross found Ryan Brunt unmarked inside the six yard box, yet the striker somehow contrived to put his header wide.

City sent on Tom Smith for Frankie Artus at the start of the second half and the Cheltenham loanee had an early shooting opportunity when he raced forward into Horsham’s half and struck a fierce drive that was well held by Josh Pelling. Horsham had the ball in the net shortly afterwards, only for Rob O'Toole's close range finish to be controversially ruled out for offside despite the ball having been played back into the box by a Bath defender. Harris rifled a shot narrowly wide from distance as he latched onto Will Hoare’s lay-off while, at the other end, Rigg forced a catch from Pelling. But it was Rigg who would settle the contest on sixty-seven minutes when the midfielder showed clever footwork to cut inside and into the penalty area before applying a superb finish beyond Pelling and into the net to put The Romans back in front.

The National League South side looked content to manage the remainder of the game with patient possession and disciplined organisation as they refused to allow The Hornets time on the ball, but with the clock entering the final ten minutes a spirited Horsham side looked to find another late goal that has saved them on plenty of occasions so far this season. But it was Bath who went closest to altering the scoreline in injury time when Pelling produced a fine stop to deny Smith.

There was still time for some late controversy when, in the final minute of injury time, Richardson-Brown escaped the attentions of Anthony Straker to surge into the box only for play to be pulled back for handball against the defender, thus denying Richardson-Brown an unimpeded run at goal. With Pelling joining his team-mates inside a packed penalty box, the resulting free-kick was cleared to the sharp shrill of Mr Gill's whistle and Horsham's valiant effort was over.

Horsham: Josh Pelling, Steve Metcalf (James McElligott,72), Harvey Sparks, Charlie Harris, Joe Shelley, Dylan Merchant, Jack Brivio, George Hayward, Rob O'Toole (Dean Lovegrove,72), Will Hoare (Joey Taylor,64), Tyrell Richardson-Brown Bath City: Harvey Wiles-Richards, Joe Raynes, Anthony Straker, Robbie Cundy, Jack Batten, Frankie Artus (Tom Smith,45) James Morton, Sean Rigg, Adam Mann, Ryan Brunt (Dean Moore,62), Ross Stearn Referee: Sunny Gill Att: 328

Bostik South East Division Round-Up

There's no change to the top order of the Bostik South East Division after the weekend matches, with five of the top six sides all drawing and the other, Hythe, enjoying the rare luxury of a weekend off.

There was a shock on the cards at Salters Lane where lowly Faversham Town led 2-0 against second- placed Hastings United before having to settle for a point. The Lilywhites could barely have got off to a better start in their first home match under new joint-managers Phil Miles and Danny Chapman, with Ben Chapman racing through to score after seven minutes and Ashley Miller doubling their advantage twenty minutes later. Miller should have made it three for the hosts before the break and Hastings made them pay for the miss when Daniel Ajakaiye halved the deficit inside three minutes of the restart. The comeback was complete on seventy-three minutes when Jack Dixon netted from a Youssuf Bamba cross but, despite Faversham having to play the closing stages with only ten men following the dismissal of Harry Goodger, the Arrows couldn't find a winner so remain ten points behind leaders Cray Wanderers. That's because the Wands were held to a goalless draw by mid-table Ramsgate on Sunday. It was the first time Cray had failed to score in the league this season although that might have had something to do with having them playing almost an hour with ten men after defender Tom Phipp was sent off. In a match of few goalscoring chances it was the Rams who went closest to claiming a surprise victory when Aaron Millbank netted, only to see it ruled out for offside.

Fifth hosted fourth at Hanbury Park and those positions remained unchanged at the full-time whistle as Haywards Heath and Phoenix Sports shared four goals in an entertaining tussle. Just ten minutes had been played when Andrew Dalhouse put Heath in front but the visitors were back on terms by half-time, thanks to Jeff Duah-Kessie's fifteenth goal of the season. When the same player took his tally to sixteen, early in the second half, Heath had to show the battling qualities that have become a major feature in this debut season in the Isthmian League and they rescued a point when Lewis Finney drilled the ball home with fourteen minutes remaining.

A third successive league win takes Ashford United up four places to seventh and leaves Herne Bay rooted to the foot of the table after a Sam Corne double helped the Nuts and Bolts to a 4-1 victory. The striker scored in the nineteenth and thirty-first minutes, the second the first of three to hit the net in the space of five minutes. Bradley Schafer pulled one back for the visitors but Bay's hopes of a revival were quickly dashed when Harry Ottaway drove one in from long range to restore the two goal advantage and a similar strike from Danny Parish, late in the second half, took Ashford above Horsham, Sevenoaks Town and Whyteleafe - the latter playing out a goalless stalemate at sixth-placed VCD Athletic. In a game of few chances, Courtney Barrington hit the post for the home side and both teams ended up a man light after VCD debutant Callum Wilson and the visitors' Nathan Campbell were sent off in separate incidents. Late goals by Matt Loaring and substitute Seb Skillen earned Guernsey a second successive win and a first on the road since August in a 2-0 triumph at Sevenoaks, who were twice denied by the woodwork. The back-to-back wins lifts the islanders up to thirteenth.

By contrast, Sittingbourne are now winless in eight in the league after Saturday's 2-1 loss at East Grinstead Town, despite going in front through Tommie Fagg's deflected twenty-second minute strike. Leading scorer George Landais converted his third successful spot-kick of the season to restore parity, just two minutes into the second half, but it wasn't until eight minutes from time that Mitchell Chapman bagged the winner for the Wasps.

In the Buildbase FA Trophy, tonight's opponents Greenwich Borough made the long journey west to the English Riviera only to return on the wrong end of a 3-0 scoreline. Connor Riley-Lowe scored twice for National League South Truro City, who are currently groundsharing at Torquay United, and despite Greenwich threatening a fightback it was the Cornish side that secured their passage through to the first round with a further goal from Noah Keats.

Three Bridges and Bognor Regis Town made the most of an otherwise free weekend to stage their Senior Cup third round tie and Bridges looked like producing a shock result after Antone Douglas and Alex Clark had given them a 2-0 half-time lead against a strong Rocks line-up. But two goals in four minutes put the hosts back on par and Dan Smith completed the turnaround with just over quarter of an hour remaining.

In 2016 the club agreed a thirty year lease to share Cray Valley PM's Badgers Sports ground. 2018/19 Player Sponsorship Scheme launched We are delighted to announce that Horsham FC is now running a player sponsorship scheme for the 2018/19 season.

Horsham FC – on this day, 1926: Horsham's first ever visit to Lewes' Dripping Pan produced an incredible THIRTEEN goals as the home side emerged victorious by eight goals to five! Horsham opened the scoring through Don Corbett only for Hayler to equalise within a minute. The two sides c ontinued to score alternately to take it up to 4-4 before Lewes hit three without reply to lead 7-4 at half-time. With the County League leaders kicking towards their favourite end in the second half, it seemed only a matter of time before they would continue to pile on the agony for Horsham but, instead, each side scored just once more although the visitors twice struck the woodwork before the end. Horsham's goalscorers were Fred Grant (two), Don Corbett, Ron Hewell and Vic Channon, with W Hayler (five) and A Boxall (three) replying for Lewes.

Are Hashtag United leading a new era in football, asks the NLP's Hugo Varley.

The arrival of Hashtag United in Step Six this season has potentially heralded the start of a footballing revolution. The North London club, who are in their inaugural season in Non-League, were founded by Youtube blogger Spencer Owen and boast a social media following which rivals many of the top teams around the globe. With over 400,000 subscribers on Youtube, more than European giants Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, Hashtag are promoting a unique way of following a football team. The club post regular behind the scenes clips onto social media throughout the week, while each match is documented through a stylish video, featuring highlights, footage from inside the changing rooms and interviews with players and coaches. When it comes to the footballing side of things, the team have also shown that they are anything but a group of fame hungry prima donnas. Managed by former East Thurrock boss Jay Devereux, Hashtag have spent much of the season near the top of the Thurlow Nunn Division One South table and are targeting an instant promotion this summer.

There is no doubt that the club divides opinion within the footballing community and in many respects they represent a far cry from the humble traditions of Non-League. However, ultimately if Hashtag are inspiring people on the other side of the world to wake up in the middle of the night and follow the Thurlow Nunn league, then we believe their presence in the pyramid provides a brilliant exposure for British Non-League football!

Silly season is fast approaching…. As the nights begin to rapidly draw in and the thermostat readings start to plummet, we are quickly entering a period of the campaign that is often loathed by supporters and groundsmen alike. Waterlogged and frozen pitches will likely become an ever increasing phenomenon over the next few weeks as fixtures begin to fall foul of the weather, leaving players and fans kicking their heels on Saturday afternoons. These postponements are certainly a nuisance, especially for sides who are beginning to string together a few good results and will lead to the typical fixture backlog in the spring, where players often bust a gut to play several times each week. However, it is at this time of year that we should think about the volunteers who put in countless hours of work at clubs across the entire Non-League pyramid. It is these volunteers who often help out with the thankless task of battling against the miserable weather conditions as well as the odds to try and ensure that fixtures are fulfilled as the winter months begin to bite.

As always, all Non-League fans owe a huge amount of gratitude to these spirited individuals!

Down with the kids – a round up from Horsham Youth

Rangers v Celtic, Roma v Lazio, Spurs v Arsenal; local derbies that all evoke pride, passion and noise. On Sunday it was the turn of Horsham to host their very own derby as the Green and Amber of our U14s went head-to-head at Gorings Mead, and it packed in all the excitement and drama of its illustrious cousins as our 'Greens' spokesperson reports…...

On a chilly November morning the match exploded into action in the opening minute as a rebound off the Amber defence was well hit by Max, over the head of the Amber keeper and dipped into the top left corner of the net. A deafening cheer, reminiscent of the “Roker Roar”, emanated from the travelling Green support, the volume probably having something to do with the batteries going on manager Ian’s hearing aids! And as the song goes, don’t stop believing, for six whole minutes Greens led their neighbours. In the second half, excellent link up play by the Green midfield and forwards tested the Amber defence on occasions. A great cross from Sam was met by Keylan who calmly slotted home the Greens' second and then a towering header by Sam ricocheted off the Amber crossbar. Sadly the elusive third goal just didn’t come and the whistle blew. Horsham Amber were strong in the second half it took them time to get into their stride but Horsham Greens go away with pride on how they conducted themselves, having given everything and worked hard as a team. Oh, and Amber scored eleven goals in reply!

Bernard and Louie were Greens' joint Man of the Match.

And there you have it. Great game, not so great result, but an improvement on last year’s game.

For the record, Amber's goals were scored by Connor Collcutt (three), Joe Simpkin (three), Zain Beg (two), Leighton Read, Nico Massimo and Sammy Henderson

Two goals from Charlie Little, and one a piece from Harry Long and Dan Baxter, was enough to see off a spirited Worthing Town as our U11s continue to jointly top the Winter Cup. This game was not all about the goal scorers, though, as some games are won and lost on the small details and this was no exception. Safe hands and good goal kick decisions were Horsham’s foundation as Zac Robinson made the all right choices in goal but the Hornets won this game through a rounded team performance across all positions from the back to the front. Horsham scored first on seven minutes when, after Harry had been denied by the goalkeeper, Charlie struck an instinctive shot from well outside the eighteen yard box that found the back of the net despite the best efforts of a defender to keep it out. Worthing’s number eight equalised through an impressive individual performance and speculative shot, two minutes later, but Horsham continued to have most of the attacking play and hit the post before Harry scored Horsham’s second towards the end of the first half, thanks in part to a fumble from the keeper. Callum Webb had a notable first half performance, seeing much of the ball and combining well with Dylan. His work rate, skill, vision and passing accuracy prevented further danger from Worthing on the left side of the pitch. Dan Baxter had an instant impact on the game, coming on for the second half. Playing centrally and tracking back - his strength and ability to hold up the ball was enabling Horsham to press higher up the pitch. Horsham’s third goal fell again to Charlie, smashing home from close range, but Worthing were not done and scored soon after. Both teams pressed hard for the next pivotal goal. Dan was put through one on one with the keeper who made a great stop to prevent the striker from scoring but, minutes later, he confidently scored Horsham’s fourth. Out-sprinting three Worthing defenders and via a neat through pass, he held his nerve to slot the ball left past the on rushing keeper. The win keeps Horsham U11s hopes of winning the Winter Cup and securing Horsham FC’s first silverware of the season.

Man of the match - Dylan Howe

Manager Sam Jones commented - “We struggled to play our free flowing football today using the full width of the pitch due to excellent pressing from the opposition - tactics were changed to allow the forwards to play on the defenders shoulder allowing us to capitalise on some excellent through balls from the midfield- an excellent all round performance”

Elsewhere, the U12s were at home to Chichester City Colts and didn't give their opponents a sniff, running out 7-0 winners with goals from Harry Lawson (three), Sonny Barton (two), Thom Ong and Elliott Evans. The U13s' match at Bognor Regis was postponed.

My first time LANK Terrace -dweller and chief vocalist Neil Clarke is the latest of our supporters to share his memories of his first ever encounter with the Hornets, and what a fixture he picked for which to make his debut…..a top of the table clash against 'the old enemy'.

"I guess my first game towards the end of the 2001/02 season was a particularly good one in terms of understanding HFC and, in particular, the rivalry that exists with East Sussex Lewes – a bit like saying the first record you bought was The Damned’s “New Rose”. Having just moved from London to Horsham, and being a keen football supporter (frequently joining the “Cockney Reds” train trips up to Old Trafford) I was interested to go and see some local football. Being introduced to the club through current club chairman Sean Bravery, whose sister knew my wife (thanks Louise for the last sixteen years), I ventured down to Queen Street unsure as to what to expect, not really knowing anything about non-league football aside from the fact that there were non-professional teams playing below the old fourth division.

I remember being pleasantly surprised at both the ground and the healthy crowd (962) but I can’t recall a great deal about the game aside from the last few minutes, and the match report for the game suggests it wasn’t a classic. It all hinged on a controversial late penalty awarded to Lewes against Horsham legend Gary Charman. Lewes scored and almost immediately from the restart a passionate Gazza, clearly still peeved by the decision, was sent off for what was a particularly horrendous high challenge that I can still visualise to this day. Though Horsham didn’t win, and ended up finishing runners up to Lewes, the passion for the club was there to see from fans and players and though I didn’t go again till the following season (the amazing 1-0 FA Cup victory over Hungerford town and Gary Charman’s 97th minute winner) I was hooked.

This was the start of a sixteen year love affair which, as many Horsham fans will concur with, takes over your life (sorry Louise for the last sixteen years). The childish excitement of the first game of the season, looking forward to trips to far flung places such as Newport IOW, Truro, Newquay, Ramsgate, Guernsey and, of course, Swansea City, the supporter camaraderie and banter, some great songs (how many non- league clubs have our repertoire), it's terrific. Though there have been some lean years; post John Maggs' reign, the loss of the ground and the nomadic existence hasn’t been great, but the Lardy Love endures and with the football now being played under Dom quite brilliant at times and the new ground nearing completion, it’s a fine time to be a Hornets fan with much to look forward to".

Horsham Lewes MATCH SUMMARY: Monday 1st April 2002 Ian Chatfield Ross Standen Ryman League Division Two James Bird Stuart Hack Horsham 0 Lewes 1

Roger Barnes Marc Cable This tense tussle between the Eddie French division's two top sides looked set to end in deadlock until Horsham's John Kirby Gary Charman was controversially

Lee Carney Joe Clark adjudged to have handled the ball, two minutes from time, to give Zak Luke Gedling Ross Venables Newman the opportunity to score the game's only goal from the Steve Payne penalty spot. To compound the Jamie Taylor Peter Brackley Hornets' misery, Charman saw red for a wild lunge within seconds of Dave Flemming Zak Newman the restart. Neither goalkeeper Gary Charman was seriously tested throughout the match although ex-Hornet Joe Marcel Dennis Clinton Moore Clark slammed one against Ian

Graham Mackay Chatfield's post in the second half.

On this day….

1809 The Berners Street Hoax was perpetrated on this day, 1809, when Theodore Hook bet a friend that he could transform any house in London into the most talked about address in a week. By sending out thousands of letters in the name of Mrs Tottenham, he requested deliveries, visitors and assistance be sent to 54 Berners Street in the City of Westminster. Positioning himself in the house directly opposite, Hook was able to observe the early morning arrival of a chimney sweep, the first of a dozen to present themselves to number 54 in no time at all. After the last of the sweeps had been sent away, a fleet of coal- carrying carts began to arrive, followed by a series of cakemakers delivering large wedding cakes, then doctors, lawyers, vicars and priests summoned to someone they had been told was dying. Fishmongers, shoemakers and over a dozen pianos were among the next to appear, along with "six stout men bearing an organ". The Governor of the Bank of England, the Duke of York, the Lord Mayor of London and even the Archbishop of Canterbury also arrived and, very soon, the narrow streets became severely congested with tradesmen and onlookers, bringing a large part of London to a standstill. Although many knew

Hook was responsible for the mayhem, he was never punished for his act.

1924 In Manhattan, New York , the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is run for the first time. The parade actually started in Newark, New Jersey, before Macy's department store had it transferred to New York City. The parade involved floats, professional bands and, in the early years, live animals borrowed from Central Park Zoo. At the end of the parade, Father Christmas is welcomed in to Herald Square, a tradition that has remained to this day although the live animals have since been replaced by large animal-shaped balloons. The popularity of the event continued to grow and more than a million lined the route in 1933. Suspended during WWII, due to the need for rubber and helium to aid the war effort, the three hour parade resumed in 1945 and is watched on TV by more than forty-four million people annually.

1945 The Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe is founded. Initially a consortium of twenty-two US charities, its purpose was to deliver food aid to Europe in the aftermath of WWII, leading to the introduction of the CARE package. At first, the US people paid $10 to send a CARE package of food to a loved one in Europe, with US President Harry S Truman the first to purchase one. CARE guaranteed delivery within four months to anyone in Europe, even if they had left their last known address, and returned a signed delivery receipt to the sender. Because European postal services were unreliable at the time these signed receipts were sometimes the first confirmation that the recipient had survived the war. These packages contained items such as canned meats, powdered milk, dried fruits, and fats along with a few comfort items such as

chocolate, coffee, and cigarettes with the first twenty thousand reaching the French Port of Le Havre in May 1946. Although "CARE Package" is a registered trademark, the term has since been widely adopted as a generic

term for a parcel of food or supplies sent for relief or comfort purposes.

1975 Ross McWhirter, co-founder of The Guinness Book of Records, is murdered in Enfield by members of the Provisional IRA. McWhirter was outspoken with his views regarding the Irish community in Britain at a time when English/Irish relations were strained, with a spate of bombings on both sides of the Irish Sea. In offering a £50,000 reward for information leading to a conviction for several recent high-profile bombings in England, that were publicly claimed by the Provisional IRA, McWhirter knew he could become a target himself and so it proved when he was shot at close range outside his home and later died at nearby Chase Farm Hospital. Following his killing, his brother Norris and others founded the National Association for Freedom.
