What’s On?

Join us for the Space Chase, Summer Reading Challenge 2019 at Storrington Library.

Get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure! Join us at our ‘Out of this World!’ event for children with fun space stories, crafts and more! Free tickets, which must be booked in advance, are available from Storrington Library on 01903 839050. This event will sell out, so book now to avoid disappointment!

This year’s Summer Reading Challenge takes place in space, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing. The Rockets are a futuristic family living in space and they are hot on the trail of a mischievous band of aliens. Books have mysteriously started to vanish from the Moon Library but the Rockets are on the case and, with lots of help from children taking part in the challenge, they hope to find the missing books.

Space Chase: the Summer Reading Challenge starts in your local library on Saturday 13 July 2019 and continues until 14th September. It’s free for families to take part and a great way to encourage children to read for enjoyment during the long summer holiday. Children can collect fun rewards as they read but, best of all, children are free to choose which library books they would like to read.

There is a great selection of books to choose from – including stories for every age group; comic books; audio books; and information books about every topic – the choice is theirs!

After registering online for the challenge children will receive a special Space Chase wristband at their library. They have all summer to read six books so they can read at their own pace. As children read their books through the summer they return to the library to talk about the books they have read, collecting colourful, smelly stickers along the way and everyone who reads six books will be rewarded with a special Space Chase certificate and medal.

The main challenge is for children aged 4-11 years but younger children can take part in the Space Chase Mini Challenge, collecting stickers as they share library books and collecting a special ‘gold medal sticker’ and a certificate when they complete.

Grown-ups may like to pick up a few books for themselves on their family visit to the library. Research shows that children enjoy reading and improve their skills when adults around them read too. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Summer Reading Challenge so some parents may even remember taking part in the challenge when they were young.

We also recruit volunteers aged 14+ to help with the challenge. Volunteers explain how things work to families, chat with the children about the books they have read, give out rewards and encourage children to make further visits to the library to progress through the challenge. Volunteering offers an invaluable opportunity to develop communication and interpersonal skills and a chance to give something back to your local community.

Are you ready for blast off? Space Chase is free – you just need a library card to register – and if you don’t have one yet you can arrange one of those for free too. Visit your local library or www.westsussex.gov.uk/src to find out more. Let the Space Chase begin!

‘ACCENTS ON THE LANDSCAPE’
Ancient Churches of West Sussex
– watercolours by Gordon Rushmer

As part of the celebrations for Horsham Year of Culture, Parham will be hosting a Watercolour Exhibition on local painter, Gordon Rushmer on 1- 15 September. An award-winning landscape painter, Rushmer’s work has been exhibited in collections at Tate Britain, the Imperial War Museum, The National Library of Wales and more.

In a painting career spanning fifty years Gordon has displayed a great diversity of interests and skills. Producing archaeological reconstructions, glassware designs, limited edition prints and landscape paintings of his beloved South Country.

With works in major national collections he has been described by one art critic as a contemporary English artist whose simple compositional elements and nostalgic pastoral scenery convey a comforting sense of calm.

This open welcoming style is a fascinating contrast to the graphic, disturbing images that he has created during fifteen years on call as a war artist with the Royal Marines and the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps, recording firsthand the ravages of conflict in Bosnia, Eritrea, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2013 he was winner of the Rowland Hilder Award from the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours for one of his Afghanistan war paintings. Since then he has returned to exploring his home surroundings and with this exhibition of some of his favourite churches, is proud to be part of the Horsham Year of Culture.

Not only are there buildings but also landscapes, wall paintings, monuments, interiors and details that have taken Gordon’s eye.
OPEN TO GENERAL ADMISSION HOUSE VISITORS

From 30 August, the HE’s A27 Arundel Bypass website will contain key information about the route options (of which there are likely to be five), and it will include the brochure, the online consultation response form, and various background reports and supporting information.

People throughout the area (including Storrington) will also be able to find out where they can view the unstaffed exhibitions, as well as where they can find hard copies of the brochure and consultation response form.

Public consultation is an important part of the delivery of this scheme and provides people
with a real opportunity to influence our proposals. It also allows us the opportunity to help people fully understand the scheme and resolve concerns.

Your comments will help us better understand the local area and any potential impacts our
scheme may have on road users and the local community. We will listen to everyone’s
views and we’ll consider your opinions before we select a preferred option for the scheme.
Options for the scheme will be consulted on between 30 August 2019 – 24 October 2019.

Comments can be submitted online by completing the online response form at
