Sheila Marshall writes:

Poynings Sloe Gin and Liqueur Contest: Monday February 23rd at The Royal Oak starting at 7:00pm, judging at 8:00pm. Monday is a ‘cheap meal night’ at the Oak. Entry £1.50 per item (to cover prizes). Items must be made in either 2014 or 2015. As in 2014, there will be a section for our neighbouring villages*.

*Lower standards apply, obviously. Note also that the event is starting an hour earlier than the time given in the February issue of PP.

Poynings pruned [updated]


Starts Monday, not Tuesday. You will not be able to drive through Poynings from 9:00am on 2nd February until (at worst) some time on 6th February because the road will be blocked by a large vehicle being used as a basis for pruning. Pedestrians will be able to get past it. Use Clappers Lane or Edburton Road if you want to escape from Fulking in a car.

A rare digital video disk

Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp DVD Poynings
For all of those who saw this year’s amazing Pantomime, and those who didn’t. The Pantomime DVD will be flying off the presses soon so I need an idea of numbers. It’s only £5, by careful housekeeping and keeping overheads to a minimum we have never put the price up. It will be available around the end of February so could you let me know if you want one or two or three or fifty. It is a limited edition so one day may be very valuable .. Don’t forget all proceeds go to help the upkeep of our lovely Church.

Many thanks

Colin Warburton

Reminder: Poynings Panto

Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp_Poynings pantomimeJust in from the People of Poynings: Christmas is over and all the decorations are down. Don’t worry though, because the amazing Aladdin Pantomime is on this weekend, and, there are still some tickets left. Just think, at the evening performances you even get a glass of wine, so for £8 its an absolute bargain!
Don’t forget, all proceeds to help with the upkeep of our lovely Church.
