Daphne Jewell

(Posted on behalf of Kevin, Christopher and Howard Jewell)

“It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our Mother, Daphne Jewell, who passed away on 11th March 2026, aged 91.

Daphne was a much loved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

The funeral service will take place at 11.00 on 31st March 2026 at St Giles Church Dallington. All are warmly invited to join the family after the service for a reception at Dallington Old School Hall. There will then be a Service of Committal at the Wealden Crematorium at 3pm.

Donations, if desired, may be made to St Michael’s Hospice, through the funeral directors Arthur C Towner.”

Messenger Magazine Readers Annual get-together and AGM Wednesday 26 November 7:00 pm

(posted on behalf of Andrew Wedmore)

The Messenger Magazine Readers Annual get-together will start
at 7:00 pm on Wednesday 26 November 2025
in Mountfield Village Hall (click link for directions)

ALL readers of the Messenger Magazine are warmly invited. There will be FREE DRINKS (alcoholic and soft) and nibbles.

This is partly a social occasion – an opportunity to have a relaxing chat with neighbours and others in Brightling, Dallington, Mountfield, and Netherfield. It is also our AGM (Annual General Meeting) so there will be some brief formalities (very brief, we promise!) including electing the committee that runs the magazine between parties (sorry, AGMs).

We will also be showing off our ideas for an updated cover design – please come and give us your views.

The committee hopes that as many people as possible will come. It’s an opportunity to show your support for the magazine (if you like it) or tell us what’s wrong (if you don’t like it!) – or just a relaxing evening with a glass of wine or something.

I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday evening.
Andrew Wedmore (Chair, Messenger magazine)
