Sad news: I am sad to say others have died in the Village over the last few weeks and it was a heart stopping moment for Brede Mother’s Union when they heard from Rosemary; but before the news broke, that it was Valerie Deakin who had died at the Costa Coffee Shop. We were all so shocked, she was a flower arranger of over 25 years at Udimore and such a well loved lady. She will be sorely missed by her family and the Brede & Udimore community.

Friday 15 January: Yoga is in Udimore Community Hall at 9.30am. Brede Farmers Market is from 10am – 12 noon in Brede Village Hall, for a small village it has a lot to offer. So use it for your fresh grocery, bakery, fish and meat. Following is the Short Mat Bowls Players at 7.30pm.
