Andromeda Event confirmed for this Thursday 25th September

Posted on behalf of Doug Edworthy:

We’ve been keeping an eye on the weather forecast and can confirm that the Andromeda Experience postponed from last week will be going ahead this Thursday. If it’s chilly, the Pavilion will be open for the talk by Doug and hot soup to warm you up!

See updated poster for details and we hope you can still make it.

Andromeda Event postponed until next week

Posted on behalf of Doug Edworthy:

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the weather forecast for Thursday, and it doesn’t look great. While it’s not going to be raining, the clouds will prevent us from seeing the main event – the Andromeda Galaxy!

The forecast for a week later is (currently) a lot better so we’ve postponed the event until Thursday 25th September. Same venue, different date. (See updated poster for details)

Apologies if this makes it difficult for you to attend, but we hope you can still make it.

Funeral of Wendy Miers Tuesday 10th June 2pm

The funeral of Wendy Miers will take place at St Giles Church, Dallington on Tuesday 10th June at 2pm. All who knew her are welcome to attend. If you live outside the village and would be able to car share that would be helpful. Either flowers or donations to the church in memory of Wendy would be appreciated.

Following the burial in the churchyard, Wendy’s daughter Samantha has invited guests for refreshments at her house near Framfield. Samantha would be grateful if you could phone or email her if you would like to attend and she will give you directions.

This event will be held in the afternoon in St Giles Church and will be followed by a cream tea. All welcome. The reason for the early advertising is to give plenty of time to gather as much information as possible. If you think you might be able to help please give Roy Iremonger a call on 01323 832627 or email royiremonger@gmail.com. He would love to hear of any war-time stories covering such subjects as evacuees, school life, farming changes, the war in the skies, troops billeted in the parish, the Home Guard, rationing, local entertainment and any other wartime topic that will be of interest to the residents of Dallington.
