Photography Competition

photo competition
Last year many people entered lovely photos for the downland calendar, and we had a great evening showing over two hundred photos which couldn’t make it into the calendar. The latter, by the way, made £4,500 towards the upkeep of the village hall. This year, while we are not producing a calendar, we would like to invite local people to enter photos of landscapes, people, or local activities. We will then organise a photos, wine and nibbles evening in early December, when the most popular photo will win a prize. To enter your photos, simply send them to photos@fulking.net.

Truleigh Hill Landscape Project

Truleigh Hill Landscape Project
A talk by Philip Paulo to Beeding & Bramber Local History Society at 7:45pm on Wednesday 6th March in the Village Hall, Upper Beeding. There is a hard-to-detect car park immediately opposite.

More PR than ‘local history’ but those residents of Edburton and Fulking who have a view of Truleigh Hill may be interested to learn when the antennae are coming down and when the unsightly cold war bunker-bungalow will be hidden by trees. Just kidding.

Bobservation 54: Parish Council Elections

Parish Council Recruitment Poster
At the risk of repeating myself, Councils represent the base of democracy in our country rising from Parish to District to County and thence to Parliament. Elections are held at Parish level every four years and the next election for five councillors is due this May. It has always been a hard task getting villagers to stick their necks out in offering to stand for election, which is unpaid. Accordingly I am encouraging all villagers, who have not already done their bit as Parish Councillors, to give serious consideration to standing this May. There is some, not great, demand on your time; four quarterly meetings, an annual one and an occasional planning meeting but the rewards in getting to know villagers and more about the village are great. You do not have to be particularly clever or intellectual but it is essential that you care about protecting Fulking. I urge you to consider standing, you will not regret it. I still value the experience.

Henceforth, St. Andrew’s will have only one regular morning service a month which will be on the first Sunday at ten o’clock. This will fit in with a rota including all the four Benefice churches. There will also be occasional evening services — the first of which is on March 17th.

Eligible persons are urged to apply to be listed on the electoral roll.
