Sedlescombe

HAPPY CHRISTMAS: As the big day looms I wish you all a very happy Christmas and hope that over the past year you have been able to benefit from the information and enjoy some of the events detailed every week here in the Sedlescombe village voice. There always seems to be something happening in the village and along with all the varied clubs and societies you should never need to feel bored or alone living here. From all of us that benefit, I am sure you will not mind me saying thank you to all the volunteers who give their time and energies to make the village a better place to live.

HAPPY NEW YEAR: I wish you all a happy, healthy and let’s hope a more peaceful world in 2017 with less angst and hate and more love. Like all years for some it would have been a year of joy and great happenings, for others not so, with maybe even great sorrow and heartache. A new year gives us the opportunity to reassess, make resolutions and try to create a world around us that we can feel comfortable and happy in, sending all good wishes that this will come to pass for you and your families.
