They’ll be led on a candlelit walk around the woods, meet some real owls and bats and learn some interesting facts about these not so spooky creatures. Fancy dress costumes welcome. Suitable for children aged 5-11 years. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Thursday 31 October 17:30 – 19:30, members £10 per child, non members £13 per child. Book here.

Autumn Potluck Supper – 19th October 2013
An open invitation goes out to all to an Autumn Potluck Supper to be held on Saturday 19 October at 7pm in the Village Hall.
Like the Summer Potluck, the idea is to keep it as informal as possible so that everyone can get involved by making their favourite food. Just bring along your own plates and cutlery to save people washing up at the end. Again to make sure there’s a good range of food, just let us know what you’re planning to cook.
The Summer Potluck was great fun and very much in the spirit of the Village Hall project of cherishing community. It was a great chance to meet new neighbours and catch up with old friends.
A big thank you to Chris, Jen and Tricia for setting up the hall and to Kate for making the tables so pretty. And the food was delicious………

Electricity at risk from fly-tippers
The Shoreham Herald reports:
The UK Power Networks site, off the A283 Steyning bypass, has been targeted, along with more than 150 substations which deliver essential power supplies in the south east, London and the east of England.
The incidents can put power supplies at risk by delaying access to vital equipment and endanger staff visiting the sites to carry out inspections, maintenance or repairs.
A piano, builders’ rubble, guttering and downpipes have all been found outside the Steyning substation.
Fly-tipping is a criminal offence under the Environmental Protection Act, carrying significant fines and even prison sentences in more serious cases.
