New Year Bin Collection
For most of the village it looks as if the next bin collection day is this Friday 2nd January, and it will be food waste only.
After that, the next collection will be on Wednesday 7th January and that will be Food, Recycling and Landfill.

Village Hall Appeal Update
What a year it’s been for Fulking!
Following a community consultation in January, we launched a bid to raise a daunting £85,000 to save our village hall. There followed a year-long programme of fundraising events, from Seedling Sunday, Farm Open Day and the Wimbledon Garden Party to the Charity Cricket Match, Ceilidh and Call My Bluff.
The Shepherd and Dog came up trumps with a £1 voluntary donation on every table, raising an incredible £4,000 to date, and most recently Sally Gunnell’s quiz at Preston Nomads raised over £3,600.
Still to come are the Fulking Xmas Party on Dec 12 and a Champagne Music Night on Dec 13.
The good news is that with £80,000 in the pot, we’ve very nearly made it, and the hall purchase is going ahead as we write. An enormous and heartfelt thank-you to everyone for your incredible generosity and support.
The even better news is that the whole community has come together behind the project as never before! Any surplus funds will go to hall improvement.
