Access to the old site is still possible through a rather long URL http://hosted.arlington parish.org.uk/APC/_layouts/15 /start.aspx#/SitePages/ Home.aspx. NB the old site is no longer maintained and all new information will be available on the new website which retains the same URL of http://arlingtonparish.org.uk

BLUEBELL FARMHOUSE KITCHEN: Michael and Philippa Vine have converted an old grain store into the Bluebell Farmhouse Kitchen at Bates Green Farm (home of the Bluebell Walk) where they have been successfully running special cookery classes for several months. For details of exciting forthcoming events (for example Quick Suppers and Sausage-Making) please see their website: www.bluebellfarm housekitchen.co.uk

BLUEBELL WALK: And Farm Trail. The 46th Arlington Bluebell Walk and Farm Trail will close on Sunday May 13, so time is running out to visit this highly popular and award-winning event which attracts visitors from all over the world and has raised thousands of pounds for numerous charities. Since 1972 the walk, based at Bates Green Farm, has developed into seven interesting walks over three working farms. This is where you see white anemones followed by the vistas of fabulous bluebells, established over centuries. On this walk there are seats for you to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this oak and hornbeam wood. Along the walks there are signs illustrating the flora and fauna of the countryside for visitor information. www.bluebellwalk.co.uk email: [email protected]

DICKER DAY: On Saturday, June 23, Dicker Day will take place. The focus of Dicker Day this year will be village games, races and food provided by the organisers. Confirmation of other attractions will follow in the coming months. However this type of event needs more people to help think up, make and run games and other stalls. Please give as much or as little help as you feel able so this year’s Dicker Day is a really fun event with lots of crazy things to do. Meetings are held once a month at 8pm in The Plough. Look forward to seeing you there or just contact Sue Simpson Email: [email protected] .

FLOWER SHOW: On Saturday, July 28 starting at 2.30pm in Arlington Village Hall, the annual produce and flower show will take place. This year the show has moved from September to July. We hope that more children from Park Mead will be able to join in and there will be the opportunity to display vegetables and flowers in season earlier in the year. New this year is a scarecrow competition, the idea is to put your creation outside your house to advertise the show (notices will be in strategic places). A list of the vegetable, flower and craft classes is available so you can get ahead with sowing and planting for the Show. There will be more information each month ahead of the show.

CROQUET: The date for the keenly contested inter-village croquet competition has been set for Saturday, August 4. This will be held in Selmeston. Details: Jackie Appleton: [email protected]
