Mayfield Market Town Redesign
any plans, should they go ahead, would include completely re-engineering the land and drainage .. we remain committed to delivering a high quality new settlement with a significant proportion of affordable homes for people who need them
Our illustration shows the “Twineham” starter home (£995,000): one bedroom, solar heating, galley kitchen, privy, hot tub and mooring (optional skiff at additional cost).

Syrian Refugees
A young woman in Lewes has been collecting clothes, medical items etc all last year for Syrian refugees in camps in Syria and Lebanon. She has just posted an appeal for refugees living in tents in snow in minus 11 centigrade.
She is asking for more winter clothes for both adults and children. If you have any you could donate, please let me have them and I will get them to Samara in Worthing who is organising more lorries to go this month.
I am at 3 Stammers Hill, or can collect them from you.

Bobservation No. 15
We had a successful village Christmas party on Friday 18th December principally due to Nick’s great mulled wine (ably assisted by Mr Lidl), Lee’s decorations and Louise, Jay and George’s efforts on the Tombola together with the helpers who passed food and drink around and cleared up afterwards. The generous number of donated prizes made for an excellent Tombola.
But… why such a low turnout? The attendance at the village Christmas party seems to have shrunk over the last few years. Please give me some feedback to bob.pamrowland@btinternet.com. Is the Friday before Christmas conflicting with other festive events? Is it the wrong location? Is it the wrong time of day? Should we have better facilities for children? Should we give it up altogether? Do you dislike the idea of mixing with other villagers? Have you any other suggestions?
I believe it is such a good way of introducing newcomers to the rest of the village and other people connected with the village that it would be pity to have it disappear. Please respond and I promise we will do everything we can to get the event back on track.
Fulking Social Committee Annual General Meeting is at 7:30pm on Thursday 4th February in the village hall. If you feel like getting involved come along.
