Icklesham

GREETINGS: Did you survive the 'winter?' It's quite interesting how different the world looks when all that is usually green has become white. My little red car was a small white igloo early on Sunday morning.

CHURCH NEWS: The 9.30 am service on Sunday, Septuagesima and Epiphany 3, will be Matins, led by George Ford. This Sunday is designated as Education Sunday. Monday 25th is recognised as the conversion of Paul, and the following day his companions Titus and Timothy. Wednesday 27th is commemorated as Holocaust Memorial Day. We remember Thomas Aquinas on Thursday 28th and Charles, King and Martyr in 1649 on Saturday 30th.

WEATHER: As already mentioned, an interesting look to the world greeted us on Sunday morning. Do you suppose that was our winter? As the snow was preceded by the hardest frost so far, probably there will be some casualties among our unseasonably early flowers.

MURDER MYSTERY: The performance tomorrow is SOLD OUT, which is good news if you already have a ticket, not so good if you were hoping to go. It begins at 7.30 pm promptly please. If you are able to help with the “in-house” catering, please come to the Memorial Hall from 1 pm. The Robin Hood has generously sponsored the evening. Any donations of raffle prizes would be appreciated. This is another New Pavilion fund raising event.

These are available from the Village Store or by phoning Brian Pitt on 814 118. These two groups work very well together - remember Smile Boys last year.
