Nevill

SUPPORT NEEDED: Two events need your support. The residents AGM is on Monday and with a lot of hard work over the years the residents association has served the residents well but needs input from us, so please show your support by attending. The other event is the Sports Day on June 24 which is open to any child of Lewes. The sports are held on Nevill Green and yours truly participated in the 1950's, which just goes to show how well this annual event has evolved over the years. See below for more details on both events.

NEVILL RESIDENTS AGM: Will be held on Monday at 8pm in St Mary’s Church Hall, Highdown Road. Juliet Oxborrow of Transition Town Lewes will talk about the Rain Gardens project and other ways to reduce the risk of flooding in our area. David Sale has acted as newsletter distributor for over 10 years since it’s concept and would like to retire so if someone else would be willing to take this on twice a year, he would be very grateful. The meeting is for all Nevill residents and it’s neighbours. The organizers of the 2017 Garden Trail, Sarah Blake and Carol Smithyes, will come to the meeting and report their progress. There will be 16 gardens to visit this year.

SPORTS DEADLINE: Registration is now open for St Mary’s Children’s Sports Day which takes place on Nevill Green on Saturday June 24. The sports day is a chance for children from pre-school age up to Year 8 to take part in fun races and win medals and trophies. Events include obstacle races, egg & spoon and skipping, with a triathlon for Years 3 and 4 and a Pentathlon for Years 5 to 8, so winners won’t just be the fastest runners. Event organiser, Mel Jarman said, ‘This will be a great day for all the family. Bring a picnic down to the green, enjoy the sport and support a fantastic community event. This is the 69th year of St Mary’s Children’s Sports so we hope that families will come and carry on the tradition of sports day.’ Registration for Sports Day closes on June 9. For information and entry forms email [email protected] or see the group’s Facebook page St Mary’s Children’s Sports, Lewes.
