Mad March Pub Quiz at the Shepherd and Dog

Mad-March-Quiz

Geoffrey Bush writes:-

The Friends of Sussex Hospices Mad March Pub Quiz is being supported by 80 pubs across Sussex. An incredible £5000 has already been raised by just 14 pubs.

The Shepherd & Dog pub in Fulking village staged its Mad March Quiz on Wednesday 11th March.

The evening was a sell out and brought together the local community to support both Sussex Hospices and the popular new publicans, David and Emily. Besides running a very entertaining quiz, David and Emily generously sponsored the event by providing light supper for all contestants, champagne and a round of drinks for the top teams, plus excellent raffle prizes donated by the pub’s local suppliers.

As a result, the Shepherd & Dog is now even more popular with the locals and enabled all of the £300 funds raised during the evening to go to Sussex hospices. The attached photo shows Davie & Emily with some of the prizes.

Lady Brook Handover Meeting

The design for Lady Brook Spring, Fulking

A meeting will be held on Tuesday 3rd March at 7.30pm in the Village Hall, to discuss the handing over of the Lady Brook Spring project to the community. Planting and on-going maintenance of the area will also be discussed.

The PC was instrumental in obtaining a grant to improve Lady Brook Spring when there was a public outcry about the structure that highways had created. As the structural work has been completed by WSCC Community Volunteers and local residents it is now time think about planting and putting the finishing touches to the project.
