Sedlescombe

If you have an interest in whether the village has a main Sedlescombe fayre on the sports field in 2014 then please don’t miss the Sedlescombe Societies Association Annual General Meeting this Monday, November 18 in Committee room 2 at the village hall at 7.30pm. Many of the fayre committee have decided not to stand for next year’s committee and without a dedicated group to coordinate all the elements then the event will not take place. Please give some serious thought as to whether you could give some of your time for your village and our community, you will be very welcome.
