Discomfontulator
St. Andrew’s offers complete cardiac security for christenings: it has placed a defibrillator right next to the font. You can now be confident that the godparents will survive the event. Cases of human spontaneous combustion (less common) can be tackled with the adjacent fire extinguisher.
The HART team from Henfield are coming to St. Andrew’s on Sunday 4th February at 12:30pm, immediately after Graham Jeffery’s 11:00am service. They will demonstrate cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of the new defibrillator. Everyone is welcome: turn up at 11:00am for the service, or 12:15pm onwards for the tutorial session.

The Bald Explorer in Fulking
Hurst Village Cinema
Yes, it is (still) on the wrong side of the A23. But it is the nearest cinema to Fulking, parking is easy, and you can select seats and buy tickets direct from their website.
