Free electric blanket testing

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service, Worthing

West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service is offering free electric blanket testing sessions this autumn.

Last year 37% of the blankets tested were found to be defective. Faulty electric blankets are a common cause of fire in the home.

Testing is recommended for blankets more than two years old. Blankets over 10 years old should be replaced.

You can book an appointment to have your blanket tested by calling 0345 872 9719. Please note that appointments will only become available on the second day after the first day has been fully booked.

If your blanket is found to be faulty, a limited number of replacement blankets will be available thanks to our partnership with SGN. These will be given free of charge to vulnerable residents who receive certain benefits, while stocks last.

The sessions will also be attended by nurses from the Prevention Assessment Team and the Sussex Fraud Team who will be on hand to offer advice and support.

The Penguin Lessons

Ferring Community Cinema, Ferring

Ferring Community Cinema's next film is The Penguin Lessons.

This charming comedy is based on a book of the same title by Tom Michell. It chronicles the author’s experience of rescuing a penguin from an oil slick in Uruguay and taking it back to the school where he taught in Argentina.

Steve Coogan plays Tom, a disillusioned Englishman who, in 1976, goes to work in a school in Argentina. He expects to find the job easy, but discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. Having rescued the penguin, he decides to take it back to school. The penguin, who he names Juan Salvador, follows him everywhere and inevitably changes everything for Tom and for those around him.

The Penguin Lessons shines with warmth and charm, in part, I’m sure, because the penguin is an actual penguin – not a CGI creation!

Tickets are £6 and available at the North Ferring Co-op, the Premier Stores in South Ferring, and on the door on the night. Ticket price includes tea, coffee or a soft drink, and biscuits. Doors open at 6.30 pm for a prompt 7 pm start.

Ferring Community Cinema is a not-for-profit organisation – profits are donated to Ferring Village Hall and other charities.
