Glasses & Bottles

The Fulking Social Committee is delighted to present a light-hearted Wine Quiz hosted by renowned duo of Toby Peirce and Bob Rowland on Saturday 24th January in Fulking Village Hall at 7.30pm.

There will be 8 superior wines from Quaff to discover with nibbles provided to clear the palette. Naturally the quiz winners will receive a handsome prize in addition to enhancing their wine buff credentials. Everyone will also have the chance to participate in a raffle. As this is a quiz and not a ‘call my bluff’ quiz, you can confidently expect fewer wine fibs and more wine facts.

It’s £15 a head or £100 for a table of 8 – and tickets are selling fast.
To book, call Bob on 871 or email bob.pamrowland@btinternet.com

Please be there at 7pm so that we can start promptly at 7:30pm

Burn Mayfield down
LAMBS writes:

We are going to light the Christmas torches again this year to symbolise LAMBS continuing determination to fight Mayfield Market Town. We are meeting to ‘plant’ the torches along Wineham Lane at The Royal Oak between 3:30pm and 4:00pm on Monday, 8th December and then a BBC documentary team are coming at 6:00pm to film. Please do come along if you can, and there will be mulled wine and mince pies — donations for the torches and refreshments would be very welcome as it will all go towards the fighting fund.

Lee Newlyn says:

Our proposals are .. based upon a .. vision that brings together local politicians, landowners and residents to create a new settlement that benefits the local community.
