2025-01-10 19:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | Lancing SC, Shopsdam Rd,, Lancing, West Sussex, BN15 8ES
LSC Members are invited to attend the most interesting Sussex Underwater visit at LSC on Friday 10th January 2025.
Eric and Catrine will be visiting LSC to tell us all about their mission advocating for the protection of our marine ecosystems
“We are a group of passionate local people who want to make everyone fall in love with the local sea in Sussex.
Our journey began with the inspiring tale of our co founder Eric Smith, a 76 year old local diver who was an eye witness to destructive fishing practices which destroyed the seabed. His campaign to get trawlers banned in Sussex has been showcased in the BBC documentary (Our Lives; Our Sea Forest on BBC I player) highlighting the profound impact one individuals passion and drive can have to galvanise a change for the better. Sussex Underwater was set up so the sea was never “out of sight and out of mind” again”.
We will also hear about the kelp recovery project – the largest marine rewilding project in the UK and their eye witness account of the devastation of the Sussex seabed and its recovery since the trawler ban.
We will be serving some chilli and a jacket potato during the evening and the bar will be open.
The cost of the evening will be £5.00 a ticket for members and £8.00 for non members, proceeds of which will be given to Sussex Underwater.

Cold Water swimming and health
A talk by Dr Mark Harper
Mark is a consultant anaesthetist whose clinical work is split between Brighton, England and Kristiansand, Norway, who, accidentally and via quite unrelated routes, has developed an interest in the negative effects of getting cold during surgical operations and the positive effects of cold water swimming. His professional life and his PhD are based around keeping patients warm. However, his research increasingly involves immersing people (and, as a member of Brighton Swimming Club, himself) in cold water. He is currently a co-applicant on the first fully-powered RCT, Outside 2, comparing outdoor swimming to standard care for the treatment of depression. In March 2023, he gave a presentation at the Scottish Parliament on how and why outdoor swimming should be adopted as a public health measure. He is a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group on outdoor swimming and health at Westminster. His book, ‘Chill – the cold water swim cure’ was published in 2022 and has been translated into three other languages.

One hour presentation followed by a chilli (veg or meat)
All members and guests welcome. Guests to pay £3.00 non membership charge and to be signed in on the night. Max 35 people so book here.
