Comment:
I like to see the event as a team effort and I am pleased that we are part of a bigger environmental festival. This what I envisaged at the very beginning but it takes time for everything to come together.

SECRETS OF SHOREHAM
SECRETS OF SHOREHAM
Presentation and Discussion
Talk by Andy Horton
What all the people of Shoreham should know about their town. And what is not written in Henry Cheal's books or in Freddie Feest's Shoreham Herald columns. Bring your critical facilities with you, because lots of the material is new thinking. Written under the pseudonym of Questor Stanton, the format asks questions and then I attempt to find out the answers. e.g .Who were the first Shorehamites? Where was Pende? What does the name Hulkesmouth mean? How did the Marlipins get its name? Who were the Butterfly Collectors?
Venue: St. Peter's Church Hall, West Street

LEONARDO DI CAPRIO in THE 11th HOUR
"The truth of the matter is, Gore's film was a launching platform for this one" – Di Caprio. "I expected something impressive... But The 11th Hour takes the debate about the environment to a whole new level. It places the problems we're now mostly aware of in the context of something bigger... It is shockingly ambitious, and it works" – The Ecologist.

Cattle all over Mill Hill
There are cattle all over Mill Hill from Old Erringham Farm enriching the low nutrient hillsides with their dung and threatening the flora (Horseshoe Vetch) and the internationally important population of Chalkhill Blue Butterflies. It looks like the fence was broken down deliberately, probably at the instigation of the South Downs Conservation Board on public land given to the people of Shoreham. There is also the danger or erosion, breaking up the steps under the hooves of the cattle and reduction of the amenity value of the downs. They were timid cattle and they were shooed of the vulnerable lower slopes by the public.
1 February 2006
The cattle have now been removed.
