RUDE MECHANICAL THEATRE: The long awaited new performance of the open air company, Rude Mechanical Theatre is finally here. The group will be performing in the Swan Meadow Playing Fields tonight, Friday, at 7.30pm. These are always great fun, a bit risqué, but well acted as the few cast members take on several roles. Why not make an evening of it by taking along your picnics and wine. The grounds open at 6pm. don't forget to take along your own chairs/rugs to sit on, may be one to wrap around you as the night cools down. Tickets are available from Londis in the high Street or from the company's website www.therudemechanicaltheatre.co.uk you might even be able to buy them at the gate tonight. If you have never been before, I can highly recommend it, they are a superb company and it is very funny.

STROLL: The next walk for strollers will be on Wednesday morning. The strollers will gather at the Bear car park for a 9am leave. Ijon Jenner will lead them on a gentle stroll around the Burwash area and back in time for lunch. Last month 17 walkers joined in, as they walked by my house they were so obviously enjoying themselves. This is a great way to get some exercise, make new friends and learn about the countryside around our three villages. All you need is a good pair of walking boots and an enjoyment of being out doors and walking. For more information call Jon on 01435 882045.

WHIST: The next whist drive ill be held on Thursday evening from 7pm at 3 Garston Park. We are unable to meet in the village hall as usual because the toilets will be out of use due to the work to modernise and refurbish them, especially the ladies. Entry for the whist is £3 per person and includes 20 hands of cards and light refreshments. These are fun evenings that anyone who enjoys playing cards can enjoy. You do not need a partner, indeed many that come don’t bring theirs with them. If you would like to join us you need to ring Shirley Viney on 01435 882497 to let her know as space will be an issue.

WWI WEEKEND: Be transported back to the early twentieth century as WWI field is set up at Bateman’s This is on next weekend August 5 and 6, 11am to 4pm. Normal admission applies. This is great for anyone who is interested in the history of the great war.

PARKING: There has been a lot of discussion in the village this last week about parking in the village. We all know that there are now more vehicles than spaces for parking, but please could drivers be a little more aware of where they are parking. Parking on the public footpath/pavement is not an option. Firstly it is illegal and could incur a fine if the police were informed and secondly it creates a problem for pedestrians, especially parents with pushchairs/buggy and elder and disabled on mobility scooters. Let us all think about others when we are planning to leave our vehicles on the high street. A little thought goes a long way.
