Brede Parish Council magazine: Urgent Now Please Can everyone who wishes to have something in the next edition of Brede Parish Council magazine send it to me at the above email address as soon as possible please. I have not received an email from anyone yet and it does take time to upload into the Newsletter. The deadline is 30 September but if possible I would like it sooner. Remember it covers Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, and if your event is early March or needs booking by then do not forget to send it in. as the March Parish Magazine will hopefully be out in the first week but it can never be guaranteed. Also if you are able to deliver any magazines please contact Lesley Bannister 01424 882800 she will be pleased to hear from you as it will save on postage. Also any new advertisers please notify me ASAP with your advertisement.

All Children are back at School now: and I hope you have all settled in and for those new to school and those who have moved up, I hope it was not too scary. Our grandaughter has settled in well and loves her new secondary school which is really good.

Grand Jumble Sale: a chance to turn out your wardrobes and attics and be rid of the things you no longer require. Please take them to Brede Church Room at 9am on Saturday 16 September.

Litter: It was so disheartening to see so much litter strewn around the lay-by on the A28 towards Northiam after it had been cleaned up the week before Bank Holiday. However, some kind person or persons have been and picked it all up. Thank you so much as I was going back this afternoon (Thursday 7th) to pick it up before it blew down the hill. If we are all vigilant and pick up litter when we see it maybe we can beat those who drop it and spoil our Parish. One resident told me, they saw someone dropping a cigarette package in Hastings. They said to the person ‘oh you’ve dropped your packet,’ Yes, I know’ He replied ‘Then pick it up’ was the retort’ No, It is to give others work’ he replied once more. The person who told me was so shocked the man had gone before a further retort was forthcoming. Well, if you are reading this you thoughtless, inconsiderate person, ‘it is mainly volunteers who give up their precious time to pick up what others think it is okay to drop. Believe it or not, we do have better things to do with our time.’ Please Take heed if this applies to you too.

Trinity Methodist Church: Is there anyone in the local community who would be willing to lend a hand with the manual work in the grounds? Please contact Stephen Hampson (882690 or Alan Hurrell (883270) for details.
