RAY AND SHELDON: As Good Friday falls on a normal club afternoon, there is only one meeting during April this year. Therefore, on Friday April 28 we welcome a representative from the Friends of Eastbourne Hospital to give us a talk. Come ready with any questions and someone will give you an answer. The usual venue is the small hall of Herstmonceux Village Hall at 2pm with tea, cakes and raffle. Ring Anne (secretary) on 01323 441244 if you need information on the club.

EVENING WALK: If you would like to join this friendly group of walkers on Tuesday evening. Give Sue a ring on 832016. They will be meeting at 6.30pm in Herstmonceux car park for a walk of around three miles. Please check before you set out.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY: The first meeting of the Windmill Hill branch of 2017 was a departure from the usual format. Entitled Private Passions, members gave short presentations on subjects they are passionate about plants, organic farming, baking for the show, botanical painting and pottery. As with all experiments, things did not go as smoothly as usual, but everybody agreed that it had been an interesting and enjoyable evening. The next meeting appealed to those particularly who would like to try growing dahlias this year. There was a visit from a specialist dahlia nursery, with dahlias to buy on the night.

THE WINDMILL: The Windmill at Windmill Hill will be open to the public from 2.30pm to 5pm on Easter Sunday, Easter Monday and Sunday April 30 and throughout the rest of the season. Please see website for details.
