Harvest Festival produce
October 6th — a traditional Harvest Festival Service at 10.00am will be followed by our ever popular ‘picnic in the pews’, a ploughman’s lunch/brunch tied up in a rustic napkin (must be ordered in advance).

We welcome all parishioners to this event. To order picnics (£7.00), phone Jane Warne on 07812-465-559 or email standrewsedburton@yahoo.co.uk.

Nick (Hughes) claims ‘I gave Sally (née Gunnell) and Jon (Biggs) a massively discounted price to lure these lovely folk, and their three sons and two dogs, back to Fulking; they left it in tears twenty years ago!!’ Nick added that he had thoroughly enjoyed his life in the village but time moves on, and requirements change. He and his kids and the dog will be very sad to leave.

The Mayfield Market Town Proposal
Impending disasters come at all levels. The international one is Global Warming, the national one is Brexit and at a village level there is Mayfield. Those of you who attended the Mayfield Market Town proposal meeting in the village hall on Wednesday 28 August will hopefully have come away with a sense of horror about the proposal. This will, if proceeded with, change the way of life of Henfield village dramatically and will lead to intrusion into the Downland villages of which Fulking is one. And, dare I say it!  have an retrograde effect on property values in this area. I do urge you to be aware of what is intended by looking at the proposal on line and registering your opinion with the Parish Council by emailing the Parish clerk. LAMBS (Locals Against Mayfield Building Sprawl) are the major local organisation objecting to all this.

Our next meeting is in the village hall on Thursday 17 October at 7.30pm when we will be discussing the way forward with the Christmas party and next year’s events. It is with great regret that our treasurer Nick Hughes will be leaving us as he has been a stalwart in so many ways. We desperately need new members if we are to continue as we have been over the last few years. Please come along, you will be made very welcome.
