Bobservation No. 7
Fulking Fair and dog show has, since 2009, been held in Harry & Charmayne Diamond’s Downside Meadow, organised by the Social Committee, and has according to the Argus grown into ‘the best village fair in Sussex’. Indeed in 2014 we were awarded the Argus’ Best Community Event of the Year’. This year’s fair is being held on Sunday 26th July from Noon till 5pm.
The success we have earned has taken a great deal of hard work from many villagers and I think it fair to say that all those involved have a great sense of pride at what has been achieved. All profits from the fair go towards village needs such as tree work in the North Town Field, toys for the toddlers, carol books for the choir and roof work on the village hall.
To keep up the momentum we still need helpers for all sorts of jobs ranging from being involved with childrens’ games to rubbish collection during and after the fair, to serving cream teas or the barbeque etc. etc.
It is a great village fun day and I think it fair to say, although it is hard work, the helpers enjoy it as much as anyone.
In particular we need Tombola prizes such as bottles of wine, kids games & toys, biscuits, chocolates and any unused article that you would not mind winning if you had a ticket!
Please give me a shout on 271 or email me at bob.pamrowland@btinternet.com if you would like to discuss joining in or/and donating a tombola prize. We can arrange collection.
Our next meeting to discuss the fair is in the Village Hall at 7.30pm on Wednesday 3rd June. You will be very welcome if you come along.

Messy Church Planning Meeting
We are hoping to start a new venture in Fulking, starting in May.
It’s a monthly gathering of craft/music/painting groups in the Village Hall to work on a project with a religious theme (e.g. Noah, Shepherd and sheep). We will have a short ‘service’ including all the work done, followed by tea for the children and probably a drink for the adults. All this in approx. an hour and a half (probably Friday 4.30-6.00pm).
We’re holding a planning meeting on Wednesday 22nd April, at 5pm in the Village Hall. We would really welcome your input and views.

Craft & Chat
Possibly one of the best kept secrets in the village has just come to light…
While nobody was looking, Trish Robinson and Chris Webb have established a Chat & Craft group which meets in the Village Hall on Thursday afternoon every 2nd and 4th week of the month – between 2 and 4 pm. Its been going on for several months…
The idea is that you bring along whatever (transportable) craft project you are undertaking and do it in the company of other like-minded people. While ‘crafting’ you can also indulge in interesting conversation and have a cup of tea.
All are welcome – and as you may have guessed the emphasis is on the chat more than the craft!
Easter Egg Trail
Can’t face hiding those eggs in the garden for the children?
Well, it seems that the National Trust and Cadbury have got together to solve that for you – with three separate Easter Egg Trails on the Dyke over the Easter break.
It’s a fundraiser for the NT: Entrance is £3, and the fun starts at 11am on 4th, 5th & 6th. More details here…
