December saw us at the Chichester Yacht Club for our Christmas dinner, and what a great evening we had. Our thanks to Tony Gunton and his team for all the work and effort that went into the planning and running of the event. We also had our “Chat and Pint” meeting at the Fox & Hounds, which was a great success, and then we welcomed in the new year with our New Year’s Day run. January will see us start our meetings at the Fox & Hounds in Funtington, of which there will be two this month, firstly for Speaker Night on 7th January, and then for our events planning meeting on 15th January. My apologies for not making it clear in our December newsletter that we have two meetings this month. Please see our events listing in this newsletter for clarification.

For 2020 we have arranged the following speakers. January 7th - David Burden “A Diver on the Mary Rose” – Join us for a fascinating evening when David, who was 'Chief Diver' on the salvage team during the archaeological excavation, in the year King Henry VIII's warship was lifted, will reveal stories from his 5 years of experience as a diver on this historical project. ______________________________________ February 4th – Miles Wilkins: Miles is one of the UK's experts on Lotus cars.

We look forward to a lively chat about the value of MGs and the current classic car market. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Club cards – I have often been asked if we have a club information card which members could hand out to fellow MG enthusiasts, providing information about our club; where we meet and how to get in touch etc. Now we have! My thanks to Simon and others for getting this organised. The back of each card is blank, providing you with space where you could write your name, or where you met them etc, to act as a prompt when they look at the card a week later and wonder, ‘where did I get this from?’.

  • The Spooner Family of Funtington: Private Charles Spooner, 2Nd Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment L/10554 (1893 - 1915) Nikki Paterson-Brown
    The Spooner Family of Funtington: Private Charles Spooner, 2nd Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment L/10554 (1893 - 1915) Nikki Paterson-Brown Introduction This article considers the service careers of four brothers, members of the Spooner family from Funtington, near Chichester. Three of the brothers served in different regiments in the Army, the fourth in the Royal Navy. Through the investigations of their lives it is possible to visualise the impact of the First World War on just one local family, bring a very personal story of the conflict into the public frame. Discussion Charles Spooner was born in 1893 to farm labourer Henry and his wife Elizabeth; they lived in Funtington West Sussex, and he had four brothers (Albert, Frederick, Ernest, and Owen) and two sisters (Mary and Florence). This was an ordinary family until the outbreak of WW1, when the family were eventually torn apart and paid the price of war. Private Charles Spooner L/10554, 2nd Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment joined the army at the outbreak of war following his elder brothers Ernest, Albert and Frederick into the military. We will start by looking at the brothers individually as they all died in WW1 within 3 years of each other. We will start with Private Charles Spooner as he was the youngest and the first to die in this tragic family situation. Private Spooner was part of the 2nd Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment. The main theatre of war that he fought in was the western European front and he received the Victory, British and Star Medals for his service to King and country.

    SOUTH DOWNS LOCAL PLAN ADOPTED 2 JULY 2019 (2014–33) .. SOUTH DOWNS LOCAL PLAN ADOPTED 2 JULY 2019 (2014–33) South Downs National Park Authority South Downs Centre North Street Midhurst West Sussex GU29 9DH 01730 814810 © Crown copyright and database rights 2019 Ordnance Survey 100050083 Cover: Lewes. © AK Purkiss FOREWORD i FOREWORD Welcome to this, the South Downs National Park Local Plan (South Downs Local Plan). It was adopted by the National Park Authority in July 2019 and contains the policies that all planning applications should adhere to. This is the first Local Plan ever produced for the National Park: a landmark for this very special place. It looks different from most other local plans, because at its heart is the requirement to conserve and enhance the nationally important landscapes of the South Downs. But this Plan is not just about these precious, nationally important, landscapes, their wildlife and cultural heritage. It is about the wide range of benefits they provide for us all that must be nurtured and protected for future generations. It is about our communities that live and work in the National Park and their social and economic needs. I thank everyone who has helped us create this Plan and commend it to all Margaret Paren those with an interest in the South Downs National Park. Chair of South Downs National Park Authority ii SOUTH DOWNS LOCAL PLAN: ADOPTED 2 JULY 2019 (2014–33) KEY MESSAGES This is a landscape led Local Plan, for the first time looking at the South Downs the landscape within which it sits and is of a standard befitting a National Park as a whole with National Park purposes and our duty to the fore.

  • Of Place-Names in Sussex
    PREPARATORY TO A DICTIONARY OF SUSSEX PLACE-NAMES Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol © 2017 First tranche: place-names in A, E, I, O and U 1 Foreword It is now almost 90 years since the publication of Allen Mawer and Frank Stenton’s standard county survey The place-names of Sussex (English Place-Name Society [EPNS] vols 6-7, Cambridge University Press, 1929-30). While I was living and working in Sussex, before 2006, it had long been my intention to produce an updated but scaled- down of this major work to serve as one of the EPNS’s “Popular” series of county dictionaries. Many things have intervened to delay the fulfilment of this aspiration, but it struck me that I could advance the project a little, put a few new ideas into the public domain, and possibly apply a spur to myself, by publishing from time to time an online “fascicle” consisting of analyses of selected major or important names beginning with a particular letter. Here are the first five, dealing with the letters A, E, I, O and U. Readers are invited to send any comments, including suggestions for inclusion or improvement, to me at [email protected]. With that end in mind, the present work consists of an index in electronic form of the names covered by Mawer and Stenton, kindly supplied many years ago, before I was acquainted with the joys of scanning, by Dr Paul Cavill. For some of these names, those which Percy Reaney called “names of primary historical or etymological interest” (interpreted subjectively), I have constructed a dictionary entry consisting of evidence and commentary in the usual way, plus a National Grid reference and a reference to the relevant page-number in Mawer and Stenton (e.g.
