Dogservation No. 3

Dogservation No. 3 Fulking Fair & Dog Show 2015

Fido was confused. He decided that, on balance, it would be best if he set off for Upper Beeding on Sunday morning after breakfast. If the show wasn’t there, well, he could continue on to Steyning via Bramber. He wasn’t sure about Shoreham — it was a long way and his legs were rather short. He had done it once but he had been much younger in those days and a nice lady from Shoreham Dogs Trust had still had to drive him home.

Fido wasn’t ambitious, or vain, but he had always secretly hoped that he might one day receive a ‘Third Reserve: Well Done!’ beige rosette in the ‘Any Other Dog’ category. Next Sunday was going to be his chance to make that dream come true.

SDNPA Cabling FAQ

Cable pulling Rampion trench duct E.ON
Work is due to start this month on the cable ducts that will provide Lancing and Worthing rats with a safe and sheltered route from Brooklands Pleasure Park to Bolney. Click on the image above for the SDNPA’s notes on the matter. A map of the Edburton rat underpass can be found here.

Bug Shot Competition

Bug Shot Competition LAMBS Mayfield
Just get out your camera (or phone) and take a close-up of any insect you come across in roughly the area that Mayfield Market Towns hopes to destroy (the rectangle of the Low Weald bounded by the A23 to the east, the A272 to the north, and the A281 to the south and west). Your photo may just prove to be the vital piece of evidence which ends up protecting the area forever. The subjects of all your photos will be identified by our wildlife experts and then judged in the categories of: Beauty or Beast, Weird or Wonderful, or Most Notable Species. Given the rationale for the competition, the quality of your photo is not as important as the subject. The winners in each category will receive copies of the both of first two books in Nils Vissers’s Wyrd Wood Series which are based in the Sussex Weald. Nils is a huge supporter and has already pledged half of the proceeds of his second book to our campaign. Please take part if you can and encourage your family and friends to enter as well. There is no limit to the number of entries.

Submit entries by September 1st 2015 via Facebook or by email to press@lambs.org.uk.

Not a lot to do

Not a lot to do in the South Downs National Park
According to the National Parks Authority, no events have been organized in the South Downs as part of National Parks Week. Congratulations to the SDNPA for their resolve in keeping visitors at bay, and residents’ diaries free of clutter.
