(Posted on behalf of Diana Day)

We will be ringing at 10am on Saturday 6th May 2023 for the Coronation of the King and Queen. We will be 6 in number, our learner making their first public performance and borrowing a ringer from Warbleton, the local band will make a joyful sound.

At last week’s Village Hall AGM, all members of the current committee were re-elected. We are delighted that they are all willing to continue but we still have spaces and would warmly welcome new members and/or volunteers to help with various regular small tasks to keep this community space available to all residents. You can find out more in our newsletter published last month.

We are also very pleased to announce that we are one of 37 halls taking part in Rother District Council’s Village Halls Energy Project.  Each hall will have a free energy assessment followed by recommendations for ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint – vital to help cope with rising prices. Although some potential actions may be limited by our listed building status, it will provide us with a useful basis for future planning. Find out more about the Village Halls Energy project at their web page Village Halls Energy Project – Rother District Council
