Burwash

COFFEE: The After Eight Club charity coffee morning, that was held in the Burwash Common Pavilion was also well attended. The organisers of this popular event work hard to make it fun and successful. Not sure how much has been raised but the money will be split between Admiral Nurses for dementia care at home, First Responders and Prostrate cancer research. Well done to everyone for their hard work and thank you to all those who supported them.

JUMBLE: Despite the inclement weather and other events being held last Saturday, the Brownie and Guide jumble sale was also well attended. Group leader Jackie Ashdown told me she was delighted with the result as she had been expecting such a good turn out., when the doors were open the queue was down the slope to the road. She would like to thank all those who went along and bought well, especially visitors from out of the village. She is also very grateful to everyone who gave their time to man the stalls. All the proceeds will go their funds.
