Bob Rowland writes:-
The 2016 Fulking Fair and Fun Day, in its new venue, proved to be highly successful. In particular the villagers’ stalls along the Street on the way from car parking in Downside Meadow to The North Town Field were reckoned to be a great addition and so were the teas and cakes in the village hall.
A good variety of stalls displaying country crafts, tractors ,beverages and food were on show and the childrens’ games included the ever appreciated ‘Stocks’ for dads to get a soaking and the new addition of Bubble Pop which was a tremendous success.
Needless to say the new format gave rise to problems particularly with food and drink in the field but these will be improved to our usual standard by next year. Having said this the French Revolution Crepes wagon did sterling work.
Thanks so much to all the villagers who participated and to the stallholders and visitors who came. See you in 2017!

Renowned for its tasty teas and scrummy cakes, the annual Balcombe Walk will put on its famous spread again this year – on Sunday 11th September. And you can have some. The one small proviso is that you first of all enjoy a wonderful country walk and raise sponsorship or make a donation to support St. Catherine’s Hospice, Crawley.
For the 26th year, the Haywards Heath Support Group for St. Catherine’s Hospice is proud to present the Balcombe Fundraising Walk, at Victory Hall, Stockcroft Road, Balcombe RH17 6HP.
The Walk takes in some of the very best of the wonderful Sussex countryside, with fabulous views. You may want to take on the challenge of the full 12.5 mile circular route or you may set yourself a gentler target of 4, 6 or 9 miles; if you do that, we’ll send a chauffeur to get you back to Balcombe! Whatever your choice, you set your own pace and we’ll welcome your support. Afterwards you will have take and cake, and a certificate to mark your achievement on behalf of St Catherine’s.
If you’ve joined the Walk before, you’ll know what a great day you can have. If you haven’t, we want the chance to show you. Bring your family, your friends, your dogs on leads, and have a great day out.
Every day it costs St Catherine’s more than £17,000 to provide their free care to local people across Sussex and Surrey, so why not show your support by taking part in this year’s Balcombe Walk? Sign up today at www.stch.org.uk/balcombewalk or call the Events Team on 01293 447355. You can also sign up on the day itself and we hope to see lots of familiar and new faces there.
Many beautiful photos were sent in but sadly some were not of sufficiently high resolution to be included, or didn’t make the final selection.
The calendar will be going to press before long to showcase the beauty of Fulking and our surroundings. We hope to launch what will be a very beautiful product sometime in September, in plenty of time to maximise sales. All proceeds from the calendar will go to help maintain the village hall.
