VILLAGE DAY: It nearly didn’t happen. This year’s Cross in Hand Village Day wasn’t going ahead until local residents Denise Ambrose and Shelley Thorpe heard about the organisers’ plight, formed a group of volunteers and stepped in to literally save the (Village) Day. The event aims to unite the community with a range of fun, family events and activities as well as raising funds for local causes. This year it takes place on Saturday, August 5, from 1pm to 5pm at the Hardy Roberts Playing Fields and will include the ever-popular Fun Dog Show. There will be the customary attractions: music, dance show, magic and sports as well as new ones including a flower show, pony rides, traditional stalls, inflatable assault course and a steam engine and more. Following the success of previous years’ cake competitions, the Village Bake Off is also back for 2017. The Heathfield and Waldron Rugby Club will support the event by opening their pavilion and there’ll be a tea garden, barbecue, candy floss and ice cream to keep you going. There are a few slots available for stall-holders costing £10. For more details about this, the dog show and Village Bake Off please go to www.crossinhandvillageday.com or email [email protected].

REPORTING CRIME: The Police have stressed how important it is to report all crime. If they do not realise it is happening they cannot sort any issues out. You can report crime by emailing [email protected] or by ringing 101. The Police are running another scheme called Operation Blitz. This runs every Friday and Saturday night from 6pm until midnight. This is purely for reporting youth crime and anti-social behaviour. When you sign up a new mobile number is circulated every week for you to call to report crime during that time-frame only. The Police are operating in the area during these hours and hopefully can tackle any issues in a timely fashion. If you would like to sign up to the scheme please email your name, full address and postcode to [email protected].
