An LED speed warning sign will shortly be installed at the entrance to our village on a temporary basis. The aim is to improve safety by reducing speeding as vehicles enter the village, to reinforce our speed limits and to collect average speed data.
It will be moved during the next two weeks and may return later in the year.
For the technically minded, these signs are called Speed Indication Devices and are provided by West Sussex County Council. They display the speed vehicles approach the sign, as well as recording that speed, the date, time and the class of vehicle. No personal data (such as a number plate) is recorded.
Bob’s Community Café at Poynings Recreation Ground is opening today, Monday 30th (11:00am–5:00pm). We also hope to be open on Wednesdays and Fridays (11:00am–5:00pm), each week. We will have indoor and outdoor seating and be selling espresso, teas, home-made cakes, fresh sandwiches, ices and more. This is intended as a ‘community hub’ to bring people together but it must be remembered that we still have to cover the substantial costs of insurance, rent, etc.
The organisers have decided to cancel Fulking Fair for this year. The combination of rain with strong wind may prove too much for the stalls.
On Fridays 17th and 31st August at 7:30pm. If the weather is fine and not too windy, then we will play on the outdoor table in Poynings. If it is wet or windy, we will play in Fulking Village Hall. Followed by a visit to the relevant pub.
All welcome. Ring me, or email me, on the day with any queries (e.g., about the weather) — Jen Green (552).
A free pink plastic ‘My Little Unicorn’ for every new subscriber! Well, possibly not. But no less plausible than the WSCC claim that Fibre to the premises is available now to the poor unfortunates who huddle over crystal sets in the hovels, kennels and decaying apple stores that form the landscape in the northern half of Clappers Lane.
