The Bluebells at Furzefield should be good from this weekend for a while (depending on the weather).
Do please come up and have a look – but it would be good if you could ring 857271 beforehand.
No dogs and children under control, please.

The first four posts in an occasional series on the rectors of Edburton appear in our local history section today. All four posts concern George Keith (c1639-1716) who, amongst distinguished company, is probably the best known of all our rectors. Certainly he is the one about whom most has been written. He was a quite remarkable man: author, colonist, jailbird, mathematician, missionary, polemicist, preacher, quaker, schoolmaster, surveyor, theologian and, finally, an unappreciated Anglican priest in the middle of nowhere.
3rd May 2015 — 11:00am till 3:00pm in the Village Hall
Come and buy or swap seedlings, vegetables and flowers and have tea and cakes.
But do come early as we sell out quickly!

If there is anyone who would be willing to audit our accounts to date, we would love to hear from you. LAMBS is currently setting up as a Community Interest Company and we will be carrying out an annual audit of accounts. Please contact us by email if you are able to help.
The Trustees of the North Town Field Trust wish to appoint three new trustees. This will be done by a vote of the villagers at the village Annual Parish Meeting on Thursday May 14th 2015. We are looking for people who want to be actively involved in the hands-on organisation of looking after the field.
Any resident of Fulking may nominate a person living within 5 miles of Fulking village hall to become a trustee subject to having that person’s agreement to be nominated.
In the event of more than three people being nominated then the appointees will be decided by written ballot. A majority of villagers present at the meeting must vote in in favour of the appointments.
Please send any such nominations to John Hazard, the Trust Secretary, at Laurel House in The Street or by email to john@hazzy.net. By May 12th latest please.
