PEACEHAVEN WI: It was a very cold start to our first meeting of 2019 and subsequently there were some apologies for absence, however we were happy to welcome a new member. President Diane Salter asked six members of the committee to read out each of the Resolutions submitted by the National Federation, and a vote was taken for just one to go forward.

After tea we were entertained by Ian Everest on the subject of Newhaven Fort. As he had managed the Fort for 15 years he was well qualified to speak knowledgeably on its past and present. He told us that it was originally built in the 1800’s on the orders of Prime Minister Lord Palmerston using six million bricks and eventually, after a rather chequered career, it was bought by Lewes District Council for £13,000. Finally, it was redecorated in 1980 and opened to the public in April 1982 and is apparently well worth a visit.

Our next meeting is on February 6, why not join us for an interesting afternoon. Happy New Year. (Joy Allen).
