AAH (All About Horsham) March 2016

MARCH 2016

Ive had a couple of unexpected moments of school years nostalgia this month.Ive reached a weird age (started to think about buying a motorbike/have regular conversations about real ale) >`w`>Vi>}v>VvV>wiLexaggerating my school years achievements to my kids.However, I had a reality y>L>V`}>vi]when I visited Forest School for a future feature on the National Citizen Service.

/iwVi}vfrom my memory bank was that of woodwork teacher Mr Almrott, announcing Well done Morris, youve stolen a bird box. I had tried to hand in a well-weathered garden feeder for my GCSE project.Funny that its the bad things that we tend to recall with pride and fondness, isnt it? I couldnt resist the temptation to walk along the corridor and sit down in what was my old form room. My tutor was Mr Booker, who remains the only Charlton Athletic fan Ive ever known. Its hardly changed at all. On one side of the classroom are windows with a short drop to the science lab roof. Looking out, I could see that todays pupils still wind each other up by throwing pens out of the window, and that evidently they are still fearful of being caught retrieving them.The other side of the room iwi`]ivwhich has been eaten up by a sports playground in the years since I left in 1995.iiV>iy`}L>Vof a 1500m race. There was one boy who was miles faster than the rest, and iiVi`iwi]somebody must have decided that us also-rans didnt matter.So hundreds of children, who had all been watching, were told to stand up and take their chairs inside. They were packing up, even though I was still out there, running my useless little heart

out.As it turned out, I was able to i>wv>Vii>irunner collided with a chair. Still, in the version I tell my children, I won that race!

Earlier in the day, the postman had delived an art print signed by two famous Second World War pilots. It dawned on me that I am fascinated by the war - The Battle of Britain particularly - because of Mr Marks History class at Forest School.He wouldnt remember me as I was neither memorably smart or unforgettably disruptive, but thanks to his inspiring class, my predicted grade of F became a B in GCSE year. He was my favourite teacher, although I >iwi`vLooking across at the History room, I considered writing this, so Mr Marks might know that!

A touch oddly, I can still recite

my entire form class register in a few seconds, and I did just that as I imagined everyone sat at their desk, carving messages into the table with a compass, punching each other on the BCG jab, and generally being horrible to each other.It was a nice, personal moment of reminiscing!I recommend that everyone stalks the corridors of their old school during the holidays to do the same thing. It is a little creepy, so pretend to be a teacher by looking tired, underpaid and beaten down by an endless stream of argumentative teens. Dont forget to occasionally moan about Ofsted.

Just a few days later, I was in Horsham Park for another future feature on High Ropes, a new aeriel adventure challenge.Wearing a harness and a helmet (was I expected to try it out? Can they not see Im wearing

inappropriate footwear?) I watched a class from Kingslea School tackle the impressive, yet daunting, new facility.Stood with me was Suzanne Travers, Marketing Manager at People for Places Leisure, who happened to be in my class at Chesworth Junior School, which became Kingslea.We recalled that our school trips had been nothing like as exciting, although there was hazy memories of a free ballpoint pen from a visit to the Parkers factory.Inevitably, there came a point when I needed to man up and tackle the course.Some of the Kingslea pupils whizzed around the course with barely a hint of trepidation.For others, the matter of the sheer drop below won over the mind. And I cant say I blame them at all!

Even at the age of 37, I cut an >}>i`w}i>i>ivyi`>`iViToby had a different mindset. He is the type of person that, as a kid, would have jumped up and down on the zip wires shouting Its easy, look, Im not even using my hands.I would have been the boy V}}>>v]w}}tears, waiting to be rescued!However, on this occasion, I made it around, slowly but surely.Whilst scanning the park from my elevated viewpoint, I saw the Kingslea pupils leaving. Theyd all been tremendously supportive of each other and one of them shouted up Keep going! to me. And I thought Id been putting on a brave face!

Just for a moment, I thought about those kids. What had they learned about themselves on the course, and 25 years or so down the line, would they appreciate how much impact their school days had on their lives?Then, after a while, I looked around and Toby was already back at base, taking his harness off. How will I spin this one to the kids?

The Cover Story

AAHMARCH 2016

ALL ABOUT HORSHAM

On our cover this week is Joanne Knowles at Trenchmore Farm in Cowfold. Being quite a new farm, its very neat and tidy. So even in February the hay barn was in good order and made an ideal backdrop for this image.Toby had set up two studio lights for this photo of Joanne pouring a glass of Silly Moo cider, which is made on the farm, along with Sussex Wagyu beef. We did take pictures of Joanne with husband Andrew and son Oscar, but these shots looked a little too busy for the front cover.

Our other contenders for the honour include Mary Price, who has worked at St Catherines Hospice for more than 30 years.We also considered a great shot of Derek Nash, saxophonist for Protect the Beat who were the headline act during our visit to Coolham Live Music Club. Derek played with great energy and it made for some fantastic shots for Toby, who was sat right in front of the stage.Another option was of Doug Eaton. However, the image would need to >iLiiyi`>make way for the AAH logo!

Spring clean your Legal & Financial Affairs

Here are my top ten practical steps to dying tidily:

1. Shred all out of date paperwork

2. Only keep tax records going back seven years

3. Store all passbooks, share certificates and deeds safely

4. Record usernames and passwords for your digital assets e.g. laptop/PC, mobile phone, online store accounts and subscriptions securely

5. Ask someone to look after your pets

6. Buy a funeral plan and include details of your wishes in your Will

7. Tell your children where your Will is stored

8. De-clutter your house and loft and make gifts of unwanted items (i.e. charity)

9. Keep your address book up to date

10. MAKE A WILL and keep it up to date

Carry out these steps and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your affairs are in order.

Having a spring clean of your legal and financial papers is a positive step. This may be something youve been putting off, but bear a thought for your family who will be the ones left to sort everything out after you have passed away. The exercise could prove to be invaluable for it will definitely save time and in some cases money if your family will need to employ professionals to assist with administering your estate.

as a consultant and put together a very different kind of marketing plan that involved launching an Intertruck magazine, a new training school, a Miss Intertruck competition, and a 20,000 conference in Monte Carlo!

We took 120 of our customers to Monte Carlo and they loved it, so it worked. A year later, we took over the Hilton in Corfu. Our guests included Michael Barratt and Lord March and our after-dinner speaker was Eric Morecambe. We did splash the cash, but it worked as our turnover soared to over 10million. >iVvwii>]and left when it was taken over.

One of Intertrucks major customers was Cape Industries, based in South Africa. I joined them as general manager for two years. Then one night in 1982, I was having dinner with a friend who told me about a job at Barratt Homes. I said I dont know anything about housing! to which he replied What have you known about anything youve ever done? So I wrote to Lawrie Barratt and three months later was a sales and marketing director.

I moved to Ashington from Kent. Pam was not keen on moving as she was involved with the Tenterden Operatic & Dramatic Society (TODS). One year, I wrote a fairytale with all of the hallmarks of a pantomime. The play was called Secrets of Salty Sam and two years later I wrote a second production called Black Kate. The fairy was a 16-year-old called Nicki French, who later sang in the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest.

With Barratt, I had some fabulous years and the business grew considerably. We welcomed Prince Charles to open a development in Bracknell, as we were always seeking publicity. I became known as the retirement king as we built retirement home developments, before I headed one of Barratts timeshare operations, for which I was not always popular. The Daly Mail loved to have a dig at i>iwt1v>i]Barrett was badly hit by the 1991recession and retreated from everything except its core business, which was housebuilding in Britain.

">}i]iviwisession musicians in the land demonstrate their ability with a series of dazzling solos. Band leader Derek Nash, who has been in Jools Hollands Rhythm and Blues Orchestra for over a decade, launches into breathlessly energetic sax solo, before Darby Todd drummer in Justin Hawkins new band Hot Leg takes the spotlight with a vigorous routine.Tim Cansfeld then takes centre stage with a smooth, soulful solo before Tony Remy takes over on his guitar with wild, frenetic playing that is simply fascinating to witness!They are all members of Protect the Beat, one of the best jazz/funk bands in the country. Yet their stage tonight is at Coolham Village Hall. In front of a sell-out audience of about 80 people, many of whom have brought along their own alcohol

(theres more wine than beer cans) Protect the Beat gave a brilliant two hour performance, L>w>`ViIts all pretty unorthodox. So how exactly does something like this happen? We spoke to Coolham Live Music Club organiser Graeme Tame, promoter Richard Donnelly, band leader Derek Nash and support act Harry iii]w`Richard: A lot of people remember Jim Sullivan, who was a great guitarist who lived in the village until he passed away. Jim would bring great acts to the hall for music nights that were a bit under the radar, but people in the know would come.

Graeme: I used to watch Big Jims music nights because I live just down the road. As well as that, over the course of about

18 years, I had put on gigs for Ben Waters, a phenomenal boogie woogie pianist, at Coolham. When Big Jim died, I wanted to keep the music going as I love watching live acts.

Richard: With Graeme in charge, the Live Music Club has been going for about two years. We havent called ourselves a blues or jazz club; it is just a music club. Tonight, we have jazz bands, but we have hosted hard rock, blues rock and a bit of Americana too.

Graeme: We have Lauren Housley coming here in May, and she is an Americana singer,

and in March a Canadian guitarist, JW-Jones, will be here. That show is already sold out.

Richard: The acts performing here are not necessarily people you will have heard of, but they are known in the music world. Our basic policy is not to have tribute bands, because you can see them at other venues, and to focus on quality. If we can w`}`V>>V>]then we very much like to do that. We have Tom Holder, son of Gary Holder who has also run live music nights in Coolham, playing the double bass here soon, alongside vocalist Hollie Rogers.

Graeme: You might think it would be hard to attract bands to Coolham, but it is never a hard sell as bands want to play venues where they are up close and personal with the audience. Here, we always have a good atmosphere. Herbie Flowers has played here, as has guitarist Micky Moody of Whitesnake.

Richard: Musicians like to play to an appreciative audience. You will see that nobody here is talking over the music. When bands play in a pub or a club i>i>w}}}ithemselves heard. Here the audience is very respectful.

Derek: There may be only 80 people, but its 80 people who

will love the music, so we will get a fantastic reaction. Also, because its my original music, I care even more about what they think. When I play with the Jools Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, there are about 20 people in the band, so I might only do two or three solos over a two hour set. Tonight, Ill have big solos in every tune, as this is my band. So for me, whilst it is a small crowd, there is job satisfaction.

Harry: Our drummer, Afrika, was playing in front of 20,000 people at the O2 last week. Now were the support act here in Coolham, but we jumped at the chance to do it.

Horshams Henry Burstow, who died 100 years ago this year, is being celebrated in a major exhibition at Horsham Museum and the re-publication of his book Reminiscences of Horsham by the Friends of Horsham Museum. Many see the book as one of the great autobiographical accounts of a working man in the Victorian era.In addition, Henry Burstows fame in both Horsham and the wider world is maintained by the folk club fraternity and bell ringers, both of whom this year will be holding celebratory events.

The exhibition, which opens on Friday 18 March, will include rarely seen material that explores both Burstows life and his reminiscences. The importance of this book to our understanding of Horshams past cannot be underestimated and so for this reason, the Friends of Horsham Museum are re-publishing the book with extra extensive notes and nearly 100 extra images and photographs.

Hooray for Henry

Henry Burstow was born on 11 December 1826, at 34 The Bishopric.His father, William Burstow,

worked as a clay tobacco-pipe maker assisted by his wife Ellen. He attended the British Free School at St Marys Church, before it moved to St Marks, and Collyers school for two years. Though he was well-educated, the level of teaching was not what we would refer to as aspirational: it was basic, the townsfolk ambitions for the schools was to turn out tradesfolk rather than future professionals. He was a cobbler by trade and spent all his life earning a meagre living from repairing and making shoes. Henry died on 30 January 1916 at his home in Spencers Road, Horsham and was buried on 4th February at Hills Cemetery.

Burstow would not have been so well known if it wasnt for his fantastic memory: through this gift he learnt and sang over 420 songs. Of 420 songs (which he knew by heart) he had learned 84 from his father, who himself knew some 200 songs, and some from his mother. However, fate also played a hand, because towards the end

of the 19th century there was a growing awareness and desire to record traditional life. In Britain, a movement grew to record traditional folk songs and a leader of the movement was the Rusper resident Lucy Broadwood, daughter of the celebrated piano makers. The Museum has Burstows own copy of one of the published volumes of songs given to him by Lucy, which will be shown in the exhibition. Later, the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams also recorded songs sung by Burstow. It was through his singing that Burstow became a noted local celebrity.

Burstow the Bellringer

Burstow also became well known through his bell ringing, though in truth it was more because he recorded his bell ringing exploits in Reminiscences of Horsham, published by the Free Christian

Church in 1911 (The Free Christian Church was also the founder of the Museum in 1893.) It was and still is however, Burstows Reminiscences for which Burstow will be better remembered in Horsham and in the wider historical world. It is one of the few genuinely authentic Victorian voices of the very poor a working mans autobiography.

A Saddler Helps

William Albery, local saddler and respected man of the community who had brought distinction to Horsham as leader of the Silver Band, knew Henry Burstow well. Albery was also a gifted calligrapher, but probably through his interest in music and working in an allied trade to Burstow, their paths more than crossed. Albery decided that Henry

36: HISTORY

museums collections. Below are some of the incidents in the book...

Good Friday Race

Two lesser lights among Horsham extraordinary characters were Allen Aldridge, the Old Church organ blower, who in many respects resembled Harry Lambert, and Footem Jenkins, window cleaner, remarkable for his short legs, upon which his ready-made trousers appeared like extended concertinas, and his long splay feet.Every one of these three individuals was interesting in himself; when they combined to entertain the public the fare provided was rich indeed.This they once did on Good Friday afternoon, about 1879, when they ran a race, arranged by a few sportive individuals, from the Hurst Arms Inn to Thorntons Beer Shop (now known as The Stout house), on the Carfax, for a gallon of stout.

King of Rooks marries Queen of Beggars

Early in the morning of Monday, the 27 November, 1837, the Royal one-horse carriage drove down to the Old Church, and there the King of the Rooks was married to the Queen of the Beggars, or, to descend to plebeian language, John Cole shoemaker, otherwise known as King Cole who lived in the Rookery, whence he took his Royal title, was married to Mrs. Simpson, who kept a beggars lodging house known as The

Beggars Opera.

Beggar Pooking

There were lots of sturdy beggars about, hardened to their career, experts at poaching and promiscuous foraging. They were better fed and happier than many hard- working country labourers. Sometimes they would have a donkey to carry their kit, cooking utensils and often a tent with which they would encamp on one or other of the many strips of roadside waste land. In the towns as well as the country these beggars were frequently a great nuisance. There were as yet no police who could be sent for, but it was one of the duties of the Parish Constables to move beggars away, a duty they dare not refuse if they were offered the fee of 1s. This duty they delegated to the Beggar-pooker. I have seen them many times ridding the town of troublesome rascals. For this purpose they were armed with a pole about 6ft. long and nearly as thick as the wrist, and if the gentry to be helped out of the town did not move at the desired pace when requested, i`w`iiV}their ribs or the smalls of their backs.
