ECO HUB UPDATE: It has been a busy few months over the summer at Eco Hub with a couple more new organisations moving in after the Open Day in May. This includes Crafty Annie, who will be running craft sessions and workshops starting at the end of October and a Forest School, Petits Arbres (Small Trees), who have already started running sessions on a Tuesday. Regarding the Nature Trail there has been a successful grant bid awarded by the Sussex Lund Trust which will massively help in creating the path, wildflower meadows and orchards. Look out for announcements on the Facebook page regarding volunteering on a Wednesday to focus on getting the Trail started.

BOWLS CLUB: Hellingly Bowls Club enjoyed a very full season of special events to celebrate their 50th anniversary. These included a visit from an Essex bowls club whose members included the descendants of one of the founder members of Hellingly Bowls Club and who is buried in the village. The club also entertained over 50 members of three local Women’s Institutes. The highlight of the year was a match against the Chelsea Pensioners who arrived in their Scarlets and enjoyed a very convivial afternoon’s bowling with much banter both on and off the green. Club activities continue in the winter with bingo session on Monday November 12, at 7.30pm. There is also a quiz on Friday November 16 at 7pm. These events are being held at Hellingly village hall and all are welcome. For details please ring Peter on 01435 812887.
