SPRING FAYRE ON THE GREEN: This Saturday May 16 the Spring Fayre will take place on the Green. The Pipes and Drums will again open the Fayre at 1pm followed by the children from the local school dancing around the Maypole at 1.30pm. This will be followed by ‘twirlers’ which is a group of children from the school. ‘Loose Ends’ is a first class group who will play popular music for about one and a half hours finishing with the pipes and drums again and then the raffle will be drawn. It has been arranged for a town crier to open the Fayre. This year we have been able to obtain a pillory for those brave people can poke their heads through to receive a few wet sponges. There will be plenty of stalls and games to enjoy with refreshments, sandwiches and cakes available throughout the afternoon. There is no charge for entry but raffle tickets are on sale in the Post Office.

“PUTTING ON THE RITZ”: Tickets are still available for this event. Sedlescombe and District Flower club will once again be hosting their elegant afternoon tea event at the village hall on Saturday May 23. If a choice of tea, freshly made sandwiches, delicious cakes and scones come to mind then this is the event for you. This proved a very popular event last time it was on offer so please do not delay in applying for your tickets especially if you would like to reserve a table to share with friends or family. There will be live music throughout the afternoon and a super raffle including flower arrangements and tea related prizes. Tickets priced at £8.50 are now on sale from Janet on 01424 773708 or Judy on 01424 870344

QUIZ NIGHT: There will be a Quiz Night in the Village Hall in Sedlescombe on Friday May 29. 7:00pm for 7:30pm. Teams of 6 are invited to come and join in at £8.00 per head. This includes a Fish and Chip supper, tea and coffee. To avoid missing out on a very enjoyable evening, please contact Andrea on 01424 871 625 to book a table.

THANK YOU FROM ANTHONY GANLY: I write to thank the residents of Sedlescombe most sincerely for their overwhelming support in the recent District Council elections. I promise to continue to positively represent our community in all matters of concern.

In the light of some misinformation regarding my position on the Neighbourhood Plan circulated just prior to the election may I say this:
