Ninfield & Hooe Village Voice - June 27

I am sure it will prove worthwhile. To add to the temptation, there will be a special lunch on offer for senior citizens, provided by the owners of the Blacksmiths. I do hope the weather is kind and there will be plenty of support for both events. I offer my apologies - as most people know, I have a regular commitment on a Friday morning. I hope to hear about the Market from a satisfied customer.

NINFIELD Golden Circle: Members thoroughly enjoyed their meeting held on June 17. Mark Sivyer found nearly every member had brought something for him to talk about and estimate its possible value. Mark was warmly thanked for making the afternoon so fascinating. The time passed quickly, after which Mark was invited to join the ladies for one of their delicious teas. Next month, the ladies and their guests will enjoy their outing to Amerley Working Museum - more news nearer the date.

WINDMILL Hill: If it is a nice day on Sunday, July 6, why not consider visiting The Windmill at Windmill Hill. This is the largest post mill in the UK and offers interest to all the family, having been lovingly restored recently. It is open from 2.30pm to 5pm, conveniently after lunch and before teatime. Admission is by donation. The next date it will be open is Sunday, July 20.

CHICHESTER Cathedral: Leaflets giving details of Cathedral events can be found on the table in the north aisle in St. Mary's Church in Ninfield. In July, the events include the Chichester Choir by Candlelight, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 'Bernstein on Broadway', 'Lulu' in concert, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and the Black Dyke Band, among other musical treats.

NINFIELD Scouts: Tomorrow (Saturday) the Scouts holding their Summer Jumble Sale from 2pm in the Memorial Hall, Bexhill Road. You can deliver items to the hall on Friday evening. All money raised benefits local scouts and helps towards new equipment.

NINFIELD Bowls Club: The match on Saturday last was at home against Hastings Visually Handicapped. Ninfield were the victors. On Sunday it was a league match, home to Staplecross, who won by just one shot. Both matches were very enjoyable. More news next week, when fingers are crossed for fine weather.

CARNIVAL 2008: There are just three weeks to go to Carnival Day, so I do hope your plans are going well. Good luck with your float, depicting Back to the Future - the judges like to be tested. For those who have promised cakes for the tea tent, it's not too early to make sure you have all the ingredients you will require. Let us hope for fine weather - it makes such a difference. More details from Lorna on 01424 893644.

ST. Mary's Church: A parish lunch is planned for Sunday, June 29. This means you take a dish to the Reading Room before the church service and, after coffee in church at the end of the service, you will be asked to go to the Reading Room and share the meal provided by everyone who donated the various dishes. If the weather is nice, the garden will also be available.
