No Such Thing As A Free Lunch (Golf Club Link)
Please send any comments to: Andy Horton Sea Heath, Frankenia laevis, was recognised for the first time, in the year 2000, on the fringes of Widewater Lagoon (now under water), in a area that had previously been fenced off to the public to protect the breeding area of the Ringed Plover. A large patch of this plant was discovered. This plant is very rare in Sussex known only from Rye Harbour, but it has possibly been missed on the fringes of salt-marshes.

is to click on the link to the logo, and register as a new member. Allow 10 minutes on-line, but the process should be much quicker. Then you can go to the Adur Valley page and register to join. The following choices will have to be made: 1) Receive mail in a daily bulletin. 2) Receive each EMail individually (this may result in too many EMails) 3)
Choose not to receive EMails, which means you can visit the web page to
choose what subjects look interesting. You can, also, just receive a list
of the subjects in a daily digest.
These choices can be altered at a later date. They can also be altered by me, if you cannot work out how to do it.
Historical Snippets Revised
Text
Romano-British settlements existed in Shoreham from about AD 100 to AD 250. Iron Age and Romano-British remains (pottery, skeletons, Samian water bottle, urn) have been found near Slonk Hill, NE of Buckingham Park, and at Kingston Buci (copper wire bracelet, skulls, quern stone). Roman coins (Constantine I brass) have been found in Shoreham. Remains of a Roman Villa have been discovered in what is now the town of Southwick to the east. Southwick appeared to be the important Roman centre (toponymy). A Roman road connected Chichester (Noviomagus Regnensium) to London (Londinium) and a branch went from Croydon to Southwick and the Adur Valley mouth (Shoreham). A 16 ft square Romano-Celtic temple was discovered on Lancing Down.

There remains sponsorship opportunities on the BMLSS (England) web site and other publications, including Torpedo. Sponsorship is also available for the Adur Torpedo Electronic News Bulletin and the Shoreham-by-Sea web pages (which preceded the Adur Resource Centre web site), which would be more suitable for a local firm(s).
