Hugh Potton On 7th September we said a big thank you to Hugh Potton who has served as the Priory organist for five years. Hugh has had to step down from the post as part of a reduction in his activities. From the moment of his arrival he has enlivened, illuminated and excited us with his playing. His prodigious memory, coupled with stunning technique, has given us all many fine performances to enjoy. His contribution to the worship in the Priory has helped us all to be aware of the majesty and glory of God. Among his many talents has been his capacity to accompany hymns with sensitivity, and in such a way that people felt drawn to join in! This is sometimes a talent that organists lack. With Hugh's encouragement the choir has sung more accompanied music than they have hitherto been used to doing. This has been to the general benefit of our range of styles and has enabled contrasting repertoire to highlight the beauties of what we do. As well as being an organist Hugh is also a concert pianist and we have enjoyed his playing of major repertoire pieces in the Music at Boxgrove concerts. Occasionally he would forsake the organ console and, instead, play a piano piece of the end of a Sunday service. This added
variety and different texture to our Sunday experience and it was unfailingly brilliant. For myself, I have especially enjoyed Hugh's playing of the French repertoire. The explosion of organ composition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is particularly exciting, and stems to a large extent from the availability of large romantically voiced instruments such as those built by the French organ builder Aristide Cavaille-Coll. That Hugh could play this repertoire on our small Hill two manual instrument, and do it convincingly, speaks very highly of his skills. And, of course, it has been on only very few occasions that we have seen Hugh use a score. What he plays is safely lodged in his memory. We hope to see Hugh in the future but in the meantime wish him a time of rest, recuperation, and regener-ation! Adele Potton plans to worship with us when she can and we shall be glad to see her.

I f you are planning a train journey some time soon,
pause for a moment to consider who might be in the driving seat. An alarming question? No. But it is one to which the answer might come as something of a surprise. For it is a fact that Hugh Potton – the Priory’s occasional organist and highly accomplished musician – could very well be the man in the vanguard. Yes, the cheery and chatty Hugh’s “daytime job”, when he is not at his beloved organ, is a driver of trains, working on the lines between Paddington and the West Country. Hugh has only recently qualified as a driver, having been formally accepted for training in December 2007, and passing his final assessment in 2008. To the layman, the difference between the career paths of professional organist and train driver might seem great. Yet to Hugh, who has devoted a lifetime to his twin passions for classical music and trains, the similarities are self-evident. “There are definite connections between driving trains and playing the organ,” he says. “As a train driver, you have to work for hours on end with intense concentration. You spend an awful lot of time on your own. An organist is seated
apart from the congregation, a train driver is separated from his passengers. They are both quite solitary roles. You have to be happy in your own company and able to work on your own initiative.” And if you thought that driving a train was anything other than a terrifyingly skilled occupation,
think again. Being accepted for training is a hugely competitive and long-drawn-out process, involving
psychometric aptitude testing, nerve-jangling concentration and high-speed coordination under pressure. No wonder
that the fall-out rate of candidates is huge. “Only one in 2,000 who is initially accepted gets through. It’s one of the biggest grillings you can have. It involves absolute and total concentration. You are tested to destruction,” says Hugh. Which is where Mastermind comes in. Remember Fred Housego? The taxi driver who stunned the nation by winning the nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat contest 30-odd years ago? If you do, you’re some way towards getting to grips with the character that is Hugh Potton. Self-deprecating, humorous and immensely likeable, Hugh hides his

undoubted talents well – but not for long. Point him in the direction of an organ, a piano or a Clavinova and he’s away, quickly drawing in an open-mouthed audience and spontaneous applause. While 13-hour days driving express trains continues to be Hugh’s bread and butter, his first great love is his music. He sang in the choir of St Barnabas, Hemel Hempstead aged eight, and started the piano at 10, achieving a pass in Grade 5 at the age of 12. At 14 he took up the organ, studying at the Royal Northern College of Music and winning a fellowship to the Royal College of Organists at 19. He owes a debt of gratitude, he says, not only to his important mentor and organ tutor, the “phenomenal” Eric Chadwick, but, too, to our own Father Ian Forrester who, says Hugh, sees a role for musicians as an intrinsic part of his ministry. “He does so unobtrusively, as well as being an accomplished musician himself. He’s always so encouraging. It was a chance encounter that we had, and things have just blossomed. The welcome I’ve had in Boxgrove has been hearty, and the choir is wonderful.” Why, you may ask, does Hugh continue to drive trains when his driving talent – forgive the pun – is his own musicianship? Especially when his long hours at the helm of a 90mph InterCity Express inevitably squeeze out much of his practise time? Well, the reason is, perhaps, both predictable and prosaic. Money.
£SD. Luca. Call it what you will. “The practicalities of life have to be catered for,” says Hugh, simply, “and musicians are notoriously badly paid. Now I’m qualified as a train driver, I have an independent income but enough time to do the things that interest me musically.” It’s also true to say you can take the man out of the engine, but not the engine out of the man. As an avid train-spotter from a very young age, Hugh and trains seem natural partners. “You have to understand that train drivers never grow up,” he says. “They just graduate to a bigger train.” And if that sounds like small boys with toys, Hugh reminds us that driving a train is a huge responsibility. “One quarter of a train driver’s salary is paid to account for normal conditions, the remaining three quarters for when things start to go wrong,” he says. He recalls with sickening clarity the suicide he encountered when he was at the helm of an express train to Reading doing 90mph. “There was an almighty thud. I thought we had struck a piece of concrete and that we were going to de-rail. It was the most scary thing you can imagine.” Most drivers need six months off after that kind of experience. Some are too traumatised ever to return. But not Hugh, whose strong Christian faith saw him through and who was back at work within the week. While music is his abiding passion, he continues to relish his daytime job, taking in his stride both the terrifyingly rough alongside the smooth.

Friends’ Valuation & Antiques Evening—11 July
T he Valuation and Antiques Evening, held at Boxgrove Priory on 11th July and
organised by the Friends of the Priory, may rank as one of the more unusual and exciting events ever seen in Boxgrove. Hosted by the immensely likeable Rupert Toovey – his name is possibly familiar to you from the BBC’s “Bargain Hunt” – the event attracted much interest from Boxgrove and beyond. More than 60 tickets were sold and each included the valuation of one item and a glass of wine, and, for one night only, the Priory was transformed into an authentic-looking antiques showroom. Items presented for valuation by Mr Toovey included everything from glassware and jewellery to fine art water colours, naval artefacts, bed warmers and ‘the brass thing’ (turned out to be a ‘Footman’ according to Mr Toovey).
As Master of Ceremonies, the charming Mr Toovey proved himself to be a well-practised natural. Within a few moments of taking charge, he had his audience in the palm of his hand. Standing centre-stage in front of the altar against a backdrop of much-loved treasures, he talked knowledgeably and humorously about the eclectic collection of artefacts surrounding him. Barely pausing for breath, he swept his audience along with him, managing effortlessly to keep them entertained. As a young man, Mr Toovey was told by a careers adviser that he should seek work as an actor, an auctioneer or a clergyman. As well as his impressive career in antiques and on television, the Revd. Toovey happens to be one of the clergy at Storrington. (Well, two out of three isn’t bad!) The Valuation and Antiques Evening raised just under £1,000. It is to be hoped that Mr T’s return to Boxgrove won’t be long in coming.

A Poem by Joanna Williams, submitted by Mike Hall as one of his favourites and a must for dog owners.
Throw the papers away
It’s a wonderful day!
Life is too short
To be worried and
fraught,
A dog at my side
Blue sky above,
Green fields, wild
flowers
Are things that I love,
Connect with the earth
A joyous rebirth,
Sweet moment in time
When liberty’s mine.
August Meeting. Members were welcomed back after the summer break. Although there had not been as monthly meeting in August mem-bers had enjoyed a variety of activi-ties. Chris reported on how she had used her bursary for her weekend at Denmans. This had included visits to Bath and Bristol and it had been a super weekend. Several members had visited The Prairie Garden near Henfield. They had thoroughly en-joyed this stunning unusual garden as well as the tea and delicious cakes. More members had attended a county run cookery demonstration with lunch which was held at Box-grove Village Hall. The delicious vegetarian curries were enjoyed by everyone. Two members had attend-ed a summer evening at Oving Vil-lage hall where they were enter-tained by music, dance and story telling and the evening ended with a sumptuous supper. Finally four members had taken part in the coun-ty quiz and were proud to report that as well as having fun they had not come last.
At the meeting there was a change of speaker and Felicity Heath came to talk about ‘How Fashion Reflects its Time’. She was very enthusiastic
about her subject but at first the members didn’t join in with her en-thusiasm. As the talk progressed showing members how styles of architecture were reflected in the fashion of the time everyone became more aware of how true this was. She left the members with the idea that they should look how this is reflected in the twentieth century. The next meeting is on the 8th Octo-ber; this is the annual meeting which will be led by Judy Wilson a county advisor and, as well as the usual business, members will have an ex-tended social time.

L ife at the hall is back to normal or as I think of it. Our regular users are back so the hall has that buzz
about it. We have no new users although we have a Monday evening slot if anybody is interested. Our Regulars – daily/weekly—see opposite Monthly: 3rd Wednesday in every Month – 7pm to 9.30pm – Scene4Women, women only network group 3rd Thursday in every Month October through to April – 7pm to 9m Gardener’s Club, Film Night. It seems that the preference is for food to be part of the Film Night, so happy to oblige. The dates available for the film night are either Friday 24 or Saturday 25 October. The date, film and food will be confirmed closer to the date. Should you have any more suggestions then I’m happy to listen. I am not a film goer so I struggle with choice of films, although my preference is comedy or musical you might hate it if I am left to choose, so input is very important but essential. What do you want? Let me know. At the film night we will be asking for any suggestions that any of you might want to see happening at the hall. Please remember that the Community Policeman Rob Gillan pops in to the hall on a regular basis and is always contactable if you need to discuss
anything with him. As always if any of you are interested in running your own group or club, I am always happy to help and if I can support.

Perhaps from Birkenhead School... a Welsh doctor who was at school in Birkenhead was quoted as saying that his headmaster had written about him, “by educating this boy we are depriving some Welsh village of its idiot.”
In the days when reports appeared on a single sheet, a comment on a particular boy’s swimming report stated, “Lacks confidence when submerged.” Above it, a maths report from a
teacher who had written his report later read, “For maths see swimming report.”
“Much to the relief of the French nation Jim has given up learning French.”
“Jane is a problem we have not yet succeeded in solving.”
A master was convinced that a pupil was cheating but could not prove it. He got it off his chest by reporting: “Peter is steadily forging his way ahead!”
One more history report: “When the workers of the world unite it would be presumptuous of Dewhurst to include himself amongst their number.”

Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Health 2 Royal Parade Tilford Road HINDHEAD Surrey GU26 6TD 22 September 2014 Dear Minister Re: St. Richard’s Hospital, Chichester, West Sussex I am writing to seek your support to retain full Accident & Emergency and Ortho-paedic Services at St. Richard’s Hospital in Chichester and also in support of the Chichester Observer’s campaign. I am a former long serving member of West Sussex County Council and represented the Chichester North Ward. I was a member of the campaign committee set up to retain these services in 2006. At that time the Secretary of State for Health under the Labour Government planned to remove these services to Queen Alexandra Hospital at Cosham, Hants. Thankfully under the chairmanship of Chichester MP, Andrew Tyrie and the committee we successfully retained full A & E services. Today the strong arguments to retain these services are even stronger than before:- The Chichester Local Plan identifies the need for 395 new houses to be built annual-ly for the next 10 years. This is planned in these areas of the District south of the South Downs National Park. There are already over 2,000 houses with planning permission which are either not yet started or completed. The National Park Local Plan numbers will increase that total even further. Rural Deprivation
a.Chichester District’s Community Profile highlights a number of startling facts: An ever increasing ageing population, many of whom live in rural are-as, are without their own independent transport.
b. I do not have the most recent data for the main causes of ‘Emergency Am-bulance’ call outs in Western West Sussex but earlier data showed that the main causes were that two thirds were for falls and accidents. Half of the call outs for people suffering breathing difficulties and chest pains were for peo-ple over 65 years of age.
Copy of letter written by Mike Hall to the Secretary of State for Health, the Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP
Page 15
It has been acknowledged that regular visiting by loved ones, family members and friends greatly helps patient recovery. In conclusion, you know from your own experience with the Royal Surrey and Mil-ford Hospitals how imperative it is that A & E Services are retained for the safety and well-being of our local communities. Therefore, I trust in your early intervention and support in order to retain our essentially indispensable facilities at St. Richards. Yours sincerely, Mike Hall Copy: email to [email protected] email to [email protected]

Northumberland Lardy Cake
Lardy Cakes and Harvest Cakes. Based on bread dough, oozing with fat, sticky with sugar, often further enriched with dried fruit, lardy cakes—as already noted in the introduction to this chapter—are about as undesirable, from a dietician’s point of view, as anything one can possibly think of. Like every packet of cigarettes, every lardy cake should carry a health warning. Elizabeth David
‘Ingredients: for the dough: 8 ox flour ¾ gill of milk (just under ¼ pt) ½ oz yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 1 egg pinch of salt For the filling: 2 ox lard 2 oz sugar 2 oz currants’ Equivalent metric quantities, for the dough: flour 225g, milk 120g, yeast 15g, sugar 1 teaspoon, eggs 1, pinch of salt; for the filling: lard 60g, sugar 60g, currants 60g. Tin size: 20cm cake tin.
‘Method: ‘Sift together flour and salt and leave in a warm place. Cream the yeast with sugar, [I prefer to omit the sugar] add the egg and warmed milk and mix with the flour to make a soft dough. ‘Leave in a warm place and when the dough has doubled its bulk roll out onto a floured board. Divide the filling into two portions and spread one half onto two-thirds of the dough then fold into three as for flaky pastry and roll out again. Spread the remainder of the filling, refold and roll out twice, finally shaping to fit an eight inch cake tin. Allow to rise and bake in a hot oven for thirty to thirty-five minutes.’

Yeast Cookery, 1977
