Local News
Plans have been submitted for secondary treatment works for the Sewage Treatment Works at Shoreham Harbour (adjacent to Southwick Beach). The sewage receives primary treatment at the moment before pumping out to sea by the long sea outfall.There will be no objection by Adur District Council. It will mean an increase in lorry traffic to dispose of the additional waste (I assume). The exact route the lorries will take and their destination is not known.
This sewage works received a write-up in Glaucus a few years ago and was featured on the front page of the Daily Mirror.

Poem of the Week
Auld Lang Syne
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And Auld Lang Syne?
Chorus.- For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne
For auld, etc.
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fitt,
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, etc.,
We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, etc.
And theres a hand my trusty fiere!
And gies a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.
For auld, etc.

Obituary
The funeral of local boatbuilder and artist Arthur Godfrey was held at Worthing Crematorium on 22 December 2000, 12:40 pm.
Arthur can be seen playing darts and drinking a pint of cider in the King's Head, circa 1982.
He is nearest the dart board. It is rather a poor photograph.

ADUR VALLEY EFORUM PAGE |
2 August
2000
The
Adur
Valley eForum covering all aspects of life in the Adur Valley commences.
You can join by spending a few minutes on the following site, and then
you can post messages on almost anything about life in Shoreham-by-sea
and the Adur Valley, including, Lancing, Sompting, Southwick, Steyning
and the smaller villages in the valley.
THE
BEST WAY TO JOIN THE
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.
If
the latter applies, you will have to click on the menu item Messages.
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.
