This week, we’re looking at how you can help an emergency vehicle reach the scene of an urgent situation quickly and safely. Here’s IAM RoadSmart’s head of driving and riding Richard Gladman, to guide you through.
Richard said: “Emergency lights are not always easily visible and the sirens can be heard from different directions so be as vigilant as possible. Motorcycles are also used by all emergency services and they may be hard to see – be prepared to respond and plan your route before acting.

Despite the chaos and excitement of the festive period, almost a third (32%) of the British public have remembered vulnerable people in need by generously donating food to those in need across the country, according to a new survey published today.
The survey also reveals the generosity across the Britain, as the North West comes out on top as the most generous region (39%), ahead of Wales (38%), South East (37%) and Scotland (37%).
The survey goes on to show that more females (38%) have donated than their male counterparts (26%), while the youngest 18-24 age group is the most generous (38%) when it comes to food donations in the lead up to Christmas.
Food poverty continues to be a serious issue across the UK despite the economic recovery, as figures published by the Trussell Trust last week showed the number of people helped by food banks in the first half of the 2014-15 financial year is 38% higher than numbers helped during the same period last year.
The survey of 2,030 people, by YouGov*, commissioned by Tesco, comes as the latest Neighbourhood Food Collection is launched, where customers are encouraged to donate food to those in need at Tesco stores right across the country. This is the fifth Neighbourhood Food Collection since 2012.
Food donations to the Neighbourhood Food Collection benefit a range of people across the country, with donations going to either FareShare, a food redistribution charity, or food banks charity The Trussell Trust. Tesco provides a 30% top up to the charities based on the collective weight of donated goods.
To date, the campaign has collected 15.3million meals for people in need since 2012, and the target this year is to provide more than 20million meals. The 15.3 million meals includes the 30% top-up, permanent & local collections, plus surplus food provisions. Neighbourhood Food Collection relies on and is bolstered by volunteers.
Tesco is calling for customers to go instore to donate food to designated food collection points. Follow @Tesco for the latest news and use #everycanhelps to find out more about the initiative. Tesco will also be raising money for the FareShare and the Trussell Trust through the sale of special Christmas hats and cards this year.
Lindsay Boswell, CEO of FareShare, said: “Sadly food poverty affects a large number of people across the UK and we are now providing food to 32% more charities than we did six months ago. From homeless hostels to breakfast clubs, women’s refuges to luncheon clubs for older people, these frontline organisations need food more than ever, so we’re thrilled to partner with Tesco on the Neighbourhood Food Collection again this year. This campaign enables us all to help in a simple practical way, as every item of food donated will make a difference to vulnerable people in our community”
David McAuley, Trussell Trust Chief Executive, says: “In just six months Trussell Trust foodbanks have given 3 days’ food to almost 500,000 people, including over 175,000 children. Redundancy, illness, benefit problems and family breakdown are some of the reasons why people go hungry. Increasingly, people on low-incomes are living on a financial knife edge where even a small crisis can lead families to face hunger. As winter begins to bite, many will be forced to make tough choices between eating and heating, and thousands will struggle to put any food on the table on Christmas Day. Foodbanks are gearing up to meet the growing need over the festive season and we’re excited to team up with Tesco once again to work on Neighbourhood Food Collection for a fifth time. Over 90 percent of food given out by foodbanks is donated by the public, so we’re reliant on people’s generosity. It’s incredible to see over a third of the UK now supporting their local food charity, and we’d urge people to keep giving.”
Greg Sage, Community Director at Tesco, commented: “It’s encouraging that people still think food poverty is a serious issue that needs to be tackled, and so many have donated to food banks as a result. This our fifth Neighbourhood Food Collection, and it’s hugely important that we dig deep and do what we can to help people who are in need this Christmas.
“This year we want to break records and provide more meals for people in need than ever before. Our customers can donate food at Tesco stores right across the UK all this week and weekend.”
I read that a child laughs 400 times a day on the average, while an adult laughs only 15 times. Which puzzles me – what do you think the children are laughing at?
During one particularly dark period of my life I didn’t laugh even 15 times a day. Not nearly. For a variety of reasons, ranging from anxiety in my personal life to overwork and exhaustion, I was depressed. I may not yet have recognized it as depression (later I did), but now I can see that the signs were there.
My self-loathing surfaced once when I found myself driving alone on a cold Spring afternoon to spend a couple of days with colleagues on a work-related planning session. “I don’t have time for this!” I said out loud, and berated myself for not saying no. I was leaving my spouse to contend with children by herself while my daily work piled up in my absence. I felt submerged by an ocean of problems, professional and personal, with no chance of finding any way out. Everything looked bleak.
I met my colleagues for supper the first evening. To my surprise, we sat around the dinner table telling funny stories. We related real-life incidents that had happened to each of us. I had to admit, even in my despondency, that it was good to laugh. And those turned out to be some of the funniest stories I had ever heard! My anxiety melted as I relaxed and I found myself laughing hard – harder than I’d laughed for years.
The next day we worked, but we also played. We invented games using whatever recreational equipment we could lay our hands on. The sheer fun of playing, something else I hadn’t done for far too long, awakened something within me I thought I might never feel again.
The following day I returned home and I felt better than I had in months. Though it eventually took a lifestyle change to lift the depression for good, laughter became a key ingredient of that change. I determined then and there that a therapy of laughter would become a permanent part of my life. I’ve held to it, and have found that regular and hearty laughter is essential if I want to maintain inner peace and good health.
I had discovered a great truth about laughter – it is good for the body, the mind and the spirit. It’s a natural stress reliever. Have you ever laughed so hard that you doubled over, fell off your chair, spit out your food or wet your pants? (Yes, I’m not proud to say, I have.) You just cannot maintain muscle tension when you are laughing.
Author Norman Cousins used to say that laughter is so beneficial for your body that it is like “inner jogging.” Numerous studies have shown that laughter is good for your heart, it boosts your immune system and promotes overall good health.
The good news is that you are not limited to 15 laughs a day. You’re allowed hundreds of laughs. What might happen if you doubled the usual adult rate and tried to laugh 30 times today? Can you do it? You’ll probably notice an immediate difference in how you feel.
Then try to laugh 50 times a day. By this time you will begin to notice an improvement in your relationships.
But don’t stop there. What if you could find 100 reasons to laugh every day? You can do it by surrounding yourself with people you feel good around, looking for humor in daily life, taking a minute to remember what’s funny and even keeping a journal of whatever makes you happy.
Find 100 reasons to laugh. You are bound to feel better, you will cope with problems more effectively and people will enjoy being around you.
Besides unhappiness, what do you have to lose?
— Steve Goodier
]]>Or that Beethoven’s music teacher said about him, “As a composer he is hopeless”? What if young Ludwig believed it?
When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid he could never learn anything. He once said, “I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot of my class…my father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that I was a dunce.” What if young Thomas believed what they said about him?
When F. W. Woolworth was 21, he got a job in a store, but was not allowed to wait on customers because, according to his boss, he “didn’t have enough sense.” I wonder if the boss was around when Woolworth became one of the most successful retailers of his day.
When the sculptor Auguste Rodin was young he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today, we may say he had a learning disability, but his father said of him, “I have an idiot for a son.” His uncle agreed. “He’s uneducable,” he said. What if the boy had doubted his ability to excel?
A newspaper editor once fired Walt Disney because he was thought to have no “good ideas.” The great Italian tenor Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, “You can’t sing. You have no voice at all.” And an editor told Louisa May Alcott, just a few years before she wrote the classic novel Little Women, that she was incapable of writing anything that would have popular appeal.
But what if these young people had listened to those critical voices and became discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven and Caruso, the art of Rodin, the ideas of Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison, the imagination of Walt Disney or the literary contributions of Louisa May Alcott? As it was so accurately put, “It’s not what you are, it’s what you don’t become that hurts.” (That from Oscar Levant.) What if these people had not become what they were capable becoming, had not done what they actually could have accomplished, just because they were discouraged by people who couldn’t see them for what they were?
We all have potential and, whether you realize it or not, your desire to do or be more than you are is your best indicator of future success. Others may discourage you, but the most important voice to listen to is your own. Do you believe in you?
National Poetry Day occurs on the first Thursday in October, in this case 4th, and its purpose is to get people involved. It starts with a poetry competition, open free to anyone with a connection to Worthing, and the short list will be published in the Worthing Herald so readers can vote for a winner, to be printed and performed on day. Kim’s bookshop have provided prizes for each of three age groups – under 16, 16-19 and over 19.
All day on that Thursday the Lime Café will open up a long wall to be filled with poems, so local residents can bring in their favourite – one they found or one they wrote – and display it to be enjoyed by everyone.
Then, in the evening, the winners in each age group and a selection of from the all will be performed, before Patience, described as a mesmerising performer, shows how to bridge that gap between stage and page.
Further details on how to get involved are all on – http://poetryinworthing.com/ or 01903 529084

Headline THE STORM ROLLS IN!
A new junior basketball club is rolling into our local area, under the new name of the ‘THE STORM’. They will be based at the new state of the art training facility at the Sir Robert Woodard Academy in Lancing.
Under the guidance of Worthing Thunder’s Head Coach and Ex England International Mr Gary Smith and other Coaches. The coaches are looking forward to passing on their experience and knowledge to the new players ‘There is so much potential and great coaching in our local area, we know this because of so many of our junior athletes are playing at national & international level in the area ’ said Gary Smith.
With innovative ways to train recruits from across the local area & county, it will demonstrate its ability to connect with players, and to get the maximum out of their talent. Each child will be given ‘individual development plans and guidance’.
Everything is set in place all the facilities and get an extremely experienced and unique set of coaches together, to teach young people in the local area’. We strongly believe in Basketball for ALL, we have set up a bursary for parents whom are on low incomes, which will subsidise the cost of training. This can be set up very discreetly by contact admin@srwastorm.com, and we want to ensure money issues do not stop children playing Basketball! Jon Fletcher, the Commercial Manager of THE STORM. We have received many messages of support from NBA Superstars such as Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic,
Shawn Marion of the NBA Champions Dallas Mavericks and Drew Sullivan the Team GB captain.
The club is hoping now to attract new and up and coming talent from the local & Sussex Area from ages 5+ through Under 11’s, 12’s, 14’s, 16’s, 18’s. The club is also keen to develop a Girls teams and an Additional Needs Programmes at the club starts at the End of September. With the Junior Academy, Coached by Eloise & Bob all set to go, Their role at the Academy is to teach the Fundamentals of Basketball, but more than just this, it is to support and develop a young person’s confidence and to nurture a belief in themselves and their teammates, not just Basketball Skills but Skills for Life. Let’s face it even Michael Jordan needed to be taught by someone! He was also told that he would be too small for basketball! How wrong they were. The readers will be interested to know that from this local area we have produced many England Internationals at School age! And many from the local area and many play at National League standard! Competing with the ‘best of the best’ from the UK and abroad.
THE STORM wants to bring the joy and passion of the game of basketball and this is reflected in the coaches when they talk about the Game they Love. ‘There is nothing more satisfying than hearing a swish of a net when the basketball goes through it or you see the moment that a ‘kid just gets a move or pulls a move that an NBA star makes!’ it’s a joy!’
What the club has managed to secure is amazing! The club is also in the throes of aligning itself with the Worthing Thunder to help cross promote both clubs. Frank Gainsbury, Chairman of the Worthing Thunder said ‘we are very happy to help this community club to achieve its full potential for the coming years. We will be working together in the coming months to find innovative ways try to help promote more Basketball in the Sussex area’
Indeed the club has been very innovative as THE STORM has produced a free WIFI service in Liverpool Gardens where you can download the mobile phone applications via WIFI and Bluetooth.

But did you know Personal Development, or Self Development as its also known, has been around for over two thousand years, but in those days what was it known as?
The following quote can be found on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop in Westminster Abbey 1100AD).
“When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world.
As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country.
But it, too, seemed immovable.
As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt,
I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize:
If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.
From their inspiration and encouragement,
I would then have been able to better my country, and who knows,
I may have even changed the world.”
The point here is that if he had changed himself first then by example he could go on to change his family, and with their support would be able to go on to greater things.
Remember, change comes from within. You can not change outside influences without changing your thoughts and beliefs first.
So what did these people call Personal Development long ago? We have all heard of the word Faith which means believing in something not yet seen. So believing you can change is the key here.
I will leave you with a quote from Aristotle. (384BC-322BC). “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom”

]]>Playing games with your child is entirely different from playing sports with him or her. When in a right age, a kid could play the sport you want him to play. Games are different than sports because games are an amusement or a past time for children while a sport is an athletic activity that will teach your child to acquire skills and physical prowess; sports are used in a competitive nature. That is the difference between games and sports. Sports will enhance the child psychologically and physically. A child is ready if he or she is in the right age to be taught, otherwise you might wait another year to teach your kid the way of a sport.
There are many sports to choose from so it is best to let your kid choose his or her favorite one. When your child chooses what he or she likes, your kid can enjoy his or her chosen sport the best. It would matter that you support with information the sport your kid would choose. But it is essential to let your kid play the sport at the right age. You will know if your kid is ready to play the sport if your child’s age between 6-7 years. When the age is right you can freely teach your kid the joy of athletics and recreation.
You, the parent, could also choose the right sport for your kid. Selecting the right sport for your kid is a decision that a parent should take seriously. The sport that you chose for your kid has to be interesting and exciting for your kid. Your child will definitely participate in the given sport but if your kid doesn’t like the sport you have given him or her, don’t force him or her to play but instead, chose another sport that suits him or her.
Another way to be sure that your kid is ready for sports is if your kid is already going to school. Schools have sports that are essential for the growth of your kid. The athletics that the schools gives are usually team sports like basketball, soccer, or football. Coaches at the kid’s school will be able to teach the kids the value of sports. The teachers of your child will be able to add passion to their hearts and provide them with other athletics information to feed the mind of your kid. Your child will be fond of the sport when all of his teachers, coaches and parents cheer him on in doing the sport even through the times of difficulty.
If a parent could think that their kid is ready, the parent can teach their kid other sports that their school does not offer. The parents have their own experiences from athletics that they have participated when they were young. It is a historical memory that the parents pass down to their kid. The parents would want their kids to experience what they have experienced when they where young. So have time with your kid and teach him or her the ways of the athletics.

]]>What does an ancient Chinese martial art such as Tai Chi have to offer modern day people living in the UK? The slow meditative movements of Tai Chi appear to be at the opposite end of the spectrum to modern day living, yet Tai Chi continues to gain popularity in the West. Popularity alone, however, is rarely an indicator of intrinsic worth (take binge drinking for example!), so how are you to determine whether Tai Chi has something to offer you personally?
This was the question I found myself facing five years ago. Unsure as to why I was even considering the question, I came to the conclusion that nothing could substitute for personal experience and, with some misgivings, I decided to take the plunge.
On hearing that some friends of mine had registered on a ten-week introductory course in Tai Chi starting the very next week, I decided to call the course organiser immediately. Perhaps this was fate, perhaps it was my destiny to study Tai Chi. Fate, however, had deviated from my expectations. The course was fully subscribed.
I felt quite aggrieved that my grand plan had been thwarted. How dare my friends start Tai Chi without me! Although living in a large town there were certainly other teachers available, I failed to overcome this set back and chose the route of apathy. Apparently my aspirations were not particularly resilient, and I comforted myself in the knowledge that at least I had tried.
Ten weeks later my spiritually advanced friends told me that their Tai Chi course had ended and classes were now open to all comers. Although my initial zeal had diminished somewhat, I was left with no excuses and agreed to join them at the next class.
Until we arrived on the following Tuesday I hadn’t recognised the full extent of my apprehensions. My desire to learn Tai Chi had been replaced with an unsettling feeling that I could not place. I realised that I knew next to nothing about Tai Chi, and began thinking, ‘what the hell am I doing here?’. Understanding it was far too late to entertain these thoughts I resolved myself to the fact that I would be there for the next two hours.
The teacher was instantly recognizable. Other than the fact that he was one out of only a few people who was not pacing nervously, or protectively huddled in a small group, he had a distinct air about him along with an intensity and confidence in the eyes. I instantly felt as though it would be futile to try to deceive him in any way, which left me feeling quite vulnerable. It was not that I sensed an intrusive or menacing disposition, in fact quite the opposite. It was simply that the teacher’s calm, authentic attitude demanded a similar openness in return.
The lesson began with a warm up, which involved gentle stretches and rotating of the body and limbs to loosen joints and muscles. This was followed by some simple movement exercises, two-person practice, and the Tai Chi form. Throughout the session the teacher discussed some of the concepts and principles behind Tai Chi. It was stressed that without adherence to these principles, a student of Tai Chi would achieve only minimal benefit from their practice. These concepts were very simple to explain and conceptualise yet proved extremely difficult to put into practice. I left the class feeling confused but yet at the same time some part of me had been inspired and I knew that I would be coming back the next week.
Five years on I still practice Tai Chi and I feel fortunate to have discovered the art when I did. Whilst I have made a great deal of progress, I am beginning to learn the truth that Tai Chi takes time and dedication to learn, and cannot ever really be mastered. This is sometimes one of the most difficult aspects to come to terms with, especially living in our culture of impatience and instant material satisfaction.
This challenge is, however, one of Tai Chi’s greatest assets. The patience that the art demands helps us to step out of the cycle of desire and satisfaction, allowing us to become more present and aware in everyday life. This allows us to face up to things that we have subconsciously been running away from, and to solve problems that we never knew were holding us back.
Tai Chi is often perceived as a mystical thing, something that people often tend to believe to be beyond their understanding or otherwise not deserving of their attention. The truth is that Tai Chi is not supernatural, it is simply a very effective tool that we can use to improve our experience of living. It is true that Tai Chi does appear very alien in our current society, yet just five hundred years ago the concept of a spherical world was also a very alien concept.
Whilst Tai Chi may not be right for everyone my experience has shown me that this ancient art has great potential to improve peoples lives. Tai Chi can be a social activity but it is, ultimately, a personal endeavour. For this reason it is very hard to convey it’s true meaning and merit. The only way to really gain an insight into what Tai Chi is really about is to actually do it. I hope that if you are considering learning this ancient art you will go ahead and ‘take the plunge’.

]]>Here are 5 steps to help you decide.
1. Do your due diligence
In other words do your research on the opportunity. Go through all the web pages and do searches to find out what people are saying about the company.
There are many legitimate business opportunities online today you just have to find them. Make sure there are contact details on the site so you can phone up and have any questions answered. It is a good idea to phone anyway just for peace of mind.
2. Your education starts here.
If you decide to pursue a business online then you must remember there will be a learning curve. Continual learning is the key. Find a business that places importance on training and education and forms part of the opportunity. Most importantly make sure they teach you how to market successfully.
3. What if I am a newbie.
Again make sure that the business helps and encourages the newbie. Check that the training is geared towards the inexperienced marketer.
4. You will have to do some work.
You will have to put in some time and effort into your venture. All businesses need to be worked otherwise you will not make money. Certain parts of the system may be automated and outsourced. Remember, this a business just like any other. Unfortunately, many people are lured by unrealistic promises. Do not be one of them.
5. What you have to bring to the table.
When you have found your opportunity it may take time to get your head around the whole concept, especially if you are new to online marketing. Learn to be persistent. Persistence is the key to developing and maintaining a successful online business.
Have a plan. All businesses have a plan. This is no different. What do you want to achieve. What is your ultimate goal. You will need to employ patience as sometimes you will feel things are not happening as quickly as you would like.
But remember, you walked before you could run. This will be a learning process but with persistence, a burning desire to succeed and having focus on your ultimate goal you will get there.
Written by Dave McPherson
]]>Below are 4 ways in which we can achieve this and if carried out you will find your motivation levels will increase as your focus improves.
1. Make your goals clear, defined and visual.
Many people when asked what their goal is they say they want a new sports car or a big house. This is too vague as it doesn’t allow the creative forces to work. As an important part of setting goals is visualisation, how can you visualise the sports car you want for example when there are hundreds of models around.
You need to define your goal more clearly. Know exactly what make, model, derivative, colour what extras you want. Then find a picture of this car from a magazine or dealer’s brochure and place where you can see it everyday.
When you feel down or discouraged look at your picture, feel you already own it, imagine yourself behind the wheel driving in the country. Immerse yourself in your goal.
2. Prepare a daily action list.
To be successful you must remain focused. To remain focused you must plan. To plan you must write down your daily action list.
At the end of each day write down your tasks you need to accomplish the next day. By writing them down and ticking them off as you complete them you will experience a sense of achievement.
This schedule must be done daily to be effective.
3. Keep a positive mental attitude.
Always focus on the good things the positive things in life. Keep your thoughts positive and you will feel better about yourself. Believe your goals will come true.
Write an intangible goal on a piece of card and read it at least twice a day. For example ‘My thoughts always remain positive and I only see the good in all situations’.
Reading inspirational books will also help to keep your motivational levels high. These can be self development books or autobiographies. Reading these types of books will make you feel encouraged and be instrumental in motivating you to achieving your goals.
4. Surround yourself with positive successful people.
If you associate with too many negative people they will eventually bring you down to their level of thinking and this will affect your self esteem and you will start to question if you have what it takes to be successful.
Don’t listen to them, or better still do not associate with them. To keep yourself motivated surround yourself with positive people.
Written by Dave McPherson
]]>1. Smile.
Some people say it takes less effort to smile than to frown. In other words it is much easy to smile. Smile at every occasion. When someone says hello to you say hello back with a big smile. Of course the smile has to be genuine. You will feel better and you will make the other person feel better about themselves.
2. Be grateful for what you already have.
They say be grateful and thankful for what we have in our lives, and that is so true. Think about all the good things in your life know. Your family, friends life itself. Remind yourself of this everyday.
3. Avoid negative people.
Avoid people with only negative things to say about life. If you talk to them and join in their conversations they will bring you down to their level and you will become one of them, a negative thinker. Associate yourself with happy, positive people and you will feel better for it.
4. Love makes the world go round.
Show you feelings and affections to people you come in contact with. Express your love and friendship at every opportunity.
5. Feel alive – get out and about.
Take regular exercise, even if it is just going for a walk. The fresh air will make you feel alive and you will feel better for it.
6. Make other people happy – pay them a compliment.
If you make other people feel good about themselves you in turn will feel good about yourself. If your wife/husband buys a new outfit say how great they look. If your work colleagues do a good job on a project, tell them. If a sales person gives you good service make a point of telling them you were impressed. Pay compliments at every opportunity and do it with a smile. You will walk away knowing you will have made them feel better about themselves.
7. Laugh.
They say laughter is the best medicine. Watch your favourite comedy film or comedian and laugh as loud as you like. You will feel better for the experience.
Make a decision now to become a happy person. We all have choices in our life and they are down to your thinking. To be happy is quite simple – just make up your mind to be.

]]>Welcome to the Church of St Symphorian , Durrington. The first historical reference of this place is to be found in the Domesday Book. In the reign of William II, the patronage was given to the Monastery of Sele (Beeding)
In Anglo-Saxon times, when Durrington was known as Derentun, there was a small Chapel of plaster and thatch called wattle. In the early 13th Century this was replaced with a building, having a chancel and nave constructed of flint and stone, and probably roofed with Horsham ‘tiles’. This particular style would have been much in keeping with many smaller churches which still survive on the South Downs and coastal plain of Sussex.
Documents survive which suggest that the Chancel was separated from the nave by a rood screen, open in its upper part so that worshippers could share in the Divine Office being performed by the Priest in the Chancel. The Rood Screen was surmounted by a loft, often referred to in medieval documents as a Solar. Its main purpose was to accommodate a few choristers or a small organ.
The steeple of the Chapel was built to carry the bell. This was little more than a raised bell cote above the gable end in a wooden structure. It was built in the western bay of the nave roof, and covered externally with boarding.
Around 1260, the Saxon windows were taken out and the present 13th Century windows were put in.
The church remained much the same, with regular acts of worship, until the 1660’s when the parish became caught up in the Civil War. The Rev. William Stanley was an ardent politician on the Royalist side whilst most of his parishioners were Cromwellians. Around 1643, the Chapel was partially demolished by the inhabitants of Durrington who naturally did not see eye-to-eye with their incumbent. This is a somewhat drastic way to register your displeasure towards the local Vicar! Things went from bad to worse in the years that followed, it was suggested that the Vicar neglected his duties and that he reviled the people of Durrington and spoke maliciously to them when they came to worship, and the poor were constrained by threats and fears.
By 1677 the Chapel was declared “unusfull for the performing of Divine Service” having been in decay for some time, and that the “Ruines thereof was chiefly occasioned by souldjers of the late warrs”. Despite attempts to repair the Chapel, it was eventually agreed that the people of Durrington be allowed to worship, baptise and bury at Tarring Church. On 24th January 1680, with the agreement of both parishes, the then Dean of Chichester, Dr. Thomas Briggs, took steps to unite the Chapelry to Tarring Church. Records show that the Chapel was still occasionally used for many years.
In 1890, the Rev. Canon Henry Bailey, Rector of Tarring, erected a small Mission Room at his own expense and left it upon trust to the inhabitants of Durrington for the performance of Divine Service. It was built adjoining the east wall of the ruined Chapel and afternoon services were held every Sunday at 3.30pm and Holy Communion at 8am on the last Sunday of the month.
Towards the latter part of the 19th Century, thoughts turned to restoring the Chapel and the funds began to be raised. Unfortunately the fundraising came to an end when the Rev. Dr. Springett, Rector of Tarring and the person leading the fund raising effort, was moved to Brixton in 1898.
When extensive repairs were needed to the Mission Room, enthusiasm was rekindled for the restoration work. However, it was not until 14th July 1914, when the “Ancient Township and Chappelry of Durrington was constituted as a separate Ecclesiastical Parish” that things began to happen. Rev. William Edward Dixon Penfold was appointed Vicar of Durrington and during his early ministry work began on the restoration of the church.
Part of the old building was incorporated in the present one, using the foundation of the north wall, and part of the south and west walls and extending the nave. The dedication of the original church is unknown but on 13th October 1915 the new church was dedicated to St. Symphorian and was consecrated on 15th December 1916. The chancel and vestries were added and the final work was dedicated by Bishop Bell on 3rd September 1941.
There have been a number of historic events in St. Symphorian’s:-
Petertide 1986, Bishop Colin of Horsham ordained four men to the priesthood. This was the first ordination service to be held in this church.
In 1987, one of the services to admit women to Holy Orders took place here when eight women were ordained Deacon by Bishop Colin of Horsham.
Over the years many faithful souls have worked to maintain and improve the centre of Christian witness in Durrington. There is much to thank God for and so our celebrations are as much about the Church as a people as the building. May the love and devotion which has brought us thus far continue in the years to come.

]]>The borough of Worthing has about 50 active Christian places of worship. There is also a mosque, which follows the Sunni tradition. There are also 16 former church buildings which are either disused or in secular use.
Worthing’s first Anglican church, St Paul’s, was built in 1812; previously, worshippers had to travel to the ancient parish church of Broadwater. John Rebecca‘s classical-style building became structurally unsound and closed in 1995. The austere design was well regarded at first, but architectural writers have since criticised it. Its importance derives from its status as “the spiritual and social centre around which the town developed”. Residential growth in the 19th century growth led to several other Anglican churches opening in the town centre: Christ Church was started in 1840 and survived a closure threat in 2006; Arthur Blomfield‘s St Andrew’s Church brought the controversial “High Church“ form of worship to the town in the 1880s—its “Worthing Madonna” icon was particularly notorious; and Holy Trinity church opened at the same time but with less dispute. Other Anglican churches were built in the 20th century to serve new residential areas such as High Salvington and Maybridge; and the ancient villages which were absorbed into Worthing Borough between 1890 and 1929 each had their own church: Broadwater’s had Saxon origins, St Mary’s at Goring-by-Sea was Norman (although it was rebuilt in 1837) St Andrew’s at West Tarring was 13th century, and St Botolph‘s at Heene and St Symphorian’s at Durrington were rebuilt from medieval ruins. All of the borough’s churches are in the Rural Deanery of Worthing and the Diocese of Chichester.
The first Roman Catholic church in Worthing opened in 1864; the centrally located St Mary of the Angels Church has since been joined by others at East Worthing, Goring-by-Sea and High Salvington. All are in Worthing Deanery in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton. Protestant Nonconformism has a long history in Worthing: the town’s first place of worship was an Independent chapel. Methodists, Baptists, the United Reformed Church and Evangelical Christian groups each have several churches in the borough, and other denominations represented include Christadelphians, Christian Scientists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons and Plymouth Brethren. The Salvation Army have been established for more than a century, but their arrival in Worthing prompted large-scale riots involving a group called the Skeleton Army. These continued intermittently for several years in the 1880s.
Worthing’s Churches Together organisation, currently chaired by Nigel O’Dwyer, encourages ecumenical work and links between the town’s churches. Church leaders meet regularly to pray for the town and to organise events together through PrayerNet. A townwide youth service, CrossRoads, brings together young people from all denominations. New Song Cafe performs a similar function for the town’s church musicians. Other Christian organisations include Worthing Churches Homeless Projects and Street Pastors. In October 2009, a Mission Festival Weekend was held to celebrate the range of mission agencies based in Worthing; the centrepiece was a parade from Worthing Pier to St Paul’s Church.

]]>East Worthing opened in September 1905 as Ham Bridge Halt and was renamed in 1949. It retained a ticket office until the 1990s, but is now unstaffed. The town’s main station, Worthing (formerly Worthing Central), is 0.9 miles (1.4 km) west. It was opened on 24 November 1845, but the present structure dates from 1909. The old station building, further east, was preserved and is now listed at Grade II. West Worthing station, a further 0.8 miles (1.3 km) on, opened in 1889 to serve new residential development north of Heene. The main building is Italianate. Before Durrington-on-Sea, another 0.8 miles (1.3 km) west, are train carriage stabling facilities, sheds and sidings. Durrington-on-Sea, which was almost renamed Field Place in 1947 in reference to an 18th-century house nearby, opened in 1937. Goring-by-Sea is 0.9 miles (1.4 km) further west and dates from 1846. All stations have frequent daily services provided by Southern, to destinations such as London, Croydon, Gatwick Airport, Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth and Southampton. Worthing station also receives occasional long-distance trains operated by First Great Western.
Rail travel became quicker and more convenient from 1 January 1933, when the route between West Worthing and Brighton was electrified. Electric trains reached Durrington and Goring in 1938. Freight traffic has declined in importance, but Worthing, West Worthing and Goring had goods yards until the 1960s; West Worthing’s supported the town’s market gardening industry for many years.
There are plans for Worthing to have a direct hourly link to the international station at London St Pancras and on to Cambridge as part of the £5 billion Thameslink Programme. Originally envisaged to be completed in 2000, the project is now provisionally scheduled to be completed in 2015

]]>Worthing’s remoteness from London and the major roads and coach routes of Sussex was alleviated in 1803, when a turnpike was opened between the seafront and West Grinstead via Findon. A tollgate stood near the present Teville Gate shopping centre between 1804 and 1845. Other tollgates in Goring, Heene and East Worthing served later turnpikes in those areas.
Until 1803, the nearest boarding point for stagecoaches was Steyning, but coaches ran regularly to London soon after the turnpike opened. The initial service of three per week in summer only was upgraded to a daily service all year, leaving at 7.00am. The journey took about seven hours and cost 11/- (£40 as of 2011) for an uncovered seat. Coaches also ran to Brighton and Arundel, and by 1832 there were 24 departures and arrivals daily, serving destinations all over the south of England.
James Town, who was closely involved with the early 19th-century coaching industry, became Worthing’s leading horse-bus operator in the late 19th century, after the success of the railway caused coaching to decline. Other businessmen provided competition, and by 1900 horse-drawn buses served all parts of the town. From 1904, motorised buses superseded these: the Sussex Motor Road Car Company and its successor the Worthing Motor Omnibus Company ran local and long-distance from garages near the railway station. By 1909, Worthing Motor Services Ltd had formed; their fleet was 15 strong. Southdown Motor Services, formed in 1915 and later nationalised, survived with that identity until deregulation in 1986, after which Stagecoach Group acquired its routes and fleet.
Worthing’s local bus services, and longer-distance routes to Midhurst, Brighton and Portsmouth, are still run by Stagecoach’s South Downs division. Metrobus operate a route to Crawley; Worthing-based Compass Bus have routes to Angmering, Chichester, Henfield and Lancing; and Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company operates evening and night services from Brighton.
West Sussex County Council and the South East England Regional Transport Board have proposed a rapid bus corridor with frequent services along the Sussex coast. The Coastal Expressway will have a priority section between Worthing and Brighton. If successful, the route would be extended westwards towards Portsmouth. Buses would have priority at traffic lights and major junctions.
Worthing Coaches, a division of haulage and travel company Lucketts Travel Group, is based in West Worthing. Day trips and longer holidays by coach, and private hire of vehicles, are offered.
An experimental “tramocar” service was started in 1924. This used small single-decker vehicles manufactured by Shelvoke and Drewry. The first tramocars had solid wheels, open sides and a tiller instead of a conventional steering wheel; later models were fully enclosed and had pneumatic tyres. The initial service along the promenade was provided by two vehicles, but by the time Southdown Motor Services took over Tramocars Ltd’s operations in 1938 there were 15 tramocars and a network of routes across Worthing. The last vehicle was withdrawn from service in 1942.
A bureaucratic oversight meant that the borough council passed a bill to allow the development of a tramway network in Worthing. Between 1901 and 1903, The British Electric Traction Company sought permission to open tram routes between Hove, Worthing and Littlehampton. The council passed a bill to prevent this by ensuring that only they could authorise such a development, although they had no intention of doing so. The bill was never repealed

]]>People who drink beer or spirits moderately – which is less than every day – or who drink only wine, do not run the same risks.
Researchers say they were shocked by the findings, which show a direct link between heavy drinking and an increased risk for esophageal, stomach, colon, liver, pancreatic, lung and prostate cancers. The greatest risk was for esophageal cancer, with a sevenfold increase, but heavy drinkers also face an 80 per cent increased risk for colon cancer, and 50 per cent for lung cancer.
The researchers, from the University of Montreal, used data originally collected in the 1980s for a cancer study in the city.

In a new study, researchers at the University of Exeter discovered that the juice helped people use less oxygen when walking, reducing the effort by 12 per cent.
The juice widens the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and allows more blood to flow, and also reduces the amount of oxygen needed by muscles.

]]>Researchers made the discovery when they researched the ‘placebo effect’, a standard procedure in drugs research where the patient is given a ‘sugar pill’ instead of the drug, but is not told what he’s been given. The placebo is supposed to eliminate the possibility of positive thinking, and so any beneficial effect beyond that must be down to the drug itself.
But researchers from Harvard Medical School wanted to know if the placebo effect still worked when the patient knows he is taking a useless sugar pill. To find out, they gave placebo pills to 40 IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) patients, while another 40 were given nothing at all. The placebo group was told the tablets were sugar pills, and even the container had the word ‘placebo’ printed on it.
Yet after three weeks, 59 per cent of the placebo reported a significant improvement in their symptoms compared with 35 per cent of those who were not given the placebo. In other words, nearly double the number who took a placebo improved – and to an extent that was equivalent to that expected from a powerful IBS drug.
Researcher Ted Kaptchuk was baffled by the results, but thinks the placebo effect has more to do with medical ritual than merely positive thinking – even when the brain knows it is being deceived.

The difference in walking speed becomes especially significant once you reach the age of 75, say researchers from the University of Pittsburgh. While the average walking speed is around 0.8 meters (2.6 feet) a second, those who walked at the faster tempo of 1 meter (3.3 feet) a second were up to 87 per cent more likely to be alive 10 years later if male, and 91 per cent if female.
The researchers say that walking speed is as good a predictor of longevity as medical history – such as blood pressure, obesity and chronic disease – and lifestyle choices, such as smoking.

In England, a building or structure is defined as “listed” when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of “special architectural or historic interest” by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (a successor to the 1947 act). English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of this department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues. There are three grades of listing status. Grade I, the highest, is defined as being of “exceptional interest”; Grade II* is used for “particularly important buildings of more than special interest”; and Grade II, the lowest, is used for buildings of “special interest”. Some Anglican churches are still graded according to an old system in which Grades A, B and C were equivalent to I, II* and II respectively.
From its origins as a fishing village, Worthing grew into a seaside resort in the early 19th century on the strength of royal patronage, the positive effect of nearby Brighton, the excellent climate and new road links to London. Land was quickly sold for speculative developments such as Liverpool Terrace and Park Crescent individual residences such as Beach House and Warwick House, attractions like the Theatre Royal and churches such as St Paul’s and Christ Church. Until the postwar Labour government passed the Town and Country Planning Act in 1947, there was no official system governing the preservation of historically significant buildings, and the rapid expansion of the town from the late 19th century onwards resulted in urban decay affecting the old town centre and demands to allow the clearance of buildings considered “obsolete and derelict”.
Historically, despite the limited protection offered by listed status, the borough has had a poor record on conserving buildings of historic interest; architectural historian Ian Nairn described it as an “exasperating town … full of [architecturally] ignoble endings”. A 1947 plan by Charles Cowles-Voysey proposing the complete demolition and redevelopment of central Worthing was never implemented, but piecemeal changes since then (especially during the 1960s) have had a similar effect in removing many historically significant buildings. Indifference on the part of residents has been suggested: the demolition in 1970 of the old Theatre Royal—described as a “very precious survival” five years earlier—went ahead with no opposition. A conservation society was formed in 1973—much later than in similar towns; despite low levels of public support, it successfully saved Beach House from demolition in the late 1970s.
Listed buildings demolished or lost to redevelopment in Worthing include the old rectory at Broadwater, West Tarring’s original Church House, most of the Humphrys Almshouses, the old Theatre Royal and the adjacent Omega Cottage.
Houses and commercial buildings—in some cases converted to other uses—make up many of Worthing’s listed buildings, and several churches also feature. Other structures with listed status include an ornate cast-iron lamp-post—the only survivor of more than 100 installed when Worthing first received electricity, and saved from demolition in 1975; a K6 telephone kiosk in the Steyne, a seafront square; an 18th-century dovecote on a site where one has existed since the 13th century; and a recent addition: a 1989 sculpture by Elisabeth Frink consisting of four gigantic male heads cast in bronze and set on a stuccoed loggia.
One of Worthing’s earliest and most important hotels was Warne’s Hotel. It was built as a five-house block called York Terrace in the 1820s, reputedly by John Rebecca. It was listed at Grade II on 11 October 1949. In the 1870s, the hotel was enlarged when an adjacent terrace of houses was taken over. This was listed separately, also at Grade II, on 21 May 1976. The hotel closed in 1985, and efforts to conserve it were thwarted when it was gutted by fire in 1987. Both parts of the building were demolished in 1992. The 1870s corner block was delisted (removed from the statutory list) on 19 October 1998, but the main block has not been officially delisted.
Most of the houses in Warwick Place, a short street leading off the Brighton Road, are listed, but No. 3 Warwick Place has lost its status. The three-storey cobbled flint building’s structural features include a bay window and a cornice supported by a modillion. It was listed at Grade II on 21 May 1976 and delisted on 1 August 2000.
The town had an Odeon cinema between 1934 and 1988, when it was demolished. It stood at the head of Liverpool Terrace, and was built in the Art Deco style with a prominent belvedere. The 1,600-capacity building cost £40,700. It was listed at Grade II on 26 March 1987, after its closure, but was removed from the statutory list on 27 July 1987.
On Marine Parade, numbers 66 and 67—part of the former Trafalgar Terrace—were listed in 1974. The four-storey houses dated from the early 19th century, and were bow-fronted and stuccoed. They were subsequently demolished, and a modern block of flats now stands on the site. They have not been officially delisted.
St Mary’s Farmhouse in Durrington had two attendant barns, which were listed separately from the house (along with its front garden wall) to reflect their architectural value as a group. After the farmhouse was damaged by arsonists in 1978, it was saved from threatened demolition, but the barns were knocked down. One lay diagonally across the southwest corner of the farmhouse grounds; it was built mainly of flint and had a hipped roof of thatch. The other, of similar materials but with a partly gabled roof with a weatherboarded exterior, stood south of the house. An adjacent outbuilding, with a pentice roof, was included in its listing. Despite their demolition, they have not been officially delisted.
English Heritage’s former listing system for Anglican churches, in which Grades A, B and C were used instead of I, II* and II respectively, has not been eliminated completely. St Andrew’s (central Worthing), St Botolph’s and St George’s Churches are graded C instead of II. St Mary’s Church at Broadwater was originally listed at Grade B, but has since been upgraded to Grade I.
Castle Goring and its associated buildings are very close to the border with the neighbouring district of Arun. Castle Goring Lodge was incorrectly classified by English Heritage as being in the civil parish of Clapham in Arun, but Worthing Borough Council’s more recently updated listed building register correctly identifies its location as Worthing.
