Ping! Pong!! Poynings!!! [Update]
We have managed to secure a reinforced concrete base for the outdoor table tennis table, one that complies with all the regulations, for £1400. We have £600 in the bank so there is just another £800 to go. Any last minute donations would be most welcome: drop an envelope in to either Sheila Marshall (Oak Cottage) or Colin Warburton (Hideaway Cottage).
Sheila Marshall
Fungal Foray
Join mycologist Martin Allinson for a day of recording as many species of fungi as possible across Newtimber Hill on Friday 7th October from 9:30am to 3:00pm. Wear suitable clothing and bring lunch. Tea and cake will be served upon return to Saddlescombe. Supervised children are welcome. Booking essential. Click the image for more information.
No mains water
At least three houses close to the junction of Clappers Lane with The Street have no mains water as of 11:00am today. You may want to check the cold tap in your kitchen to see if this affects you. South East Water are aware of the problem and they should be here to fix it in a matter of hours.
Update at 15:00pm: supply restored, apparently.
