HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY: Members are reminded that the AGM will take place in the village hall this evening, Friday, starting at 7.30pm. We hope to keep the formal meeting short. After a break for tea and biscuits there will be a talk by a visiting speaker. As usual the raffle will be in aid of the Poppy appeal. Any donations for prizes will be appreciated. Members can also pay their annual subscriptions at this meeting.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY: Ringmer Branch, Royal British Legion: Sunday November 11 is the 100th anniversary of the armistice signed at 11am in 1918. As we gather to remember those who lost their lives in the two world wars and other conflicts since, please join us to commemorate their great sacrifice. Our parade assembles at the car park behind the shops as usual, at 10.30am, followed by a service in St Mary’s Church.

ST MARY’S: Services on Sunday align with the whole nation: at 10.50am the village gathers at the War Memorial for a traditional act of Remembrance, followed by the service at St Mary’s accompanied by the Lewes, Glynde and Beddingham Brass Band. Bells will be rung half-muffled as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives in all wars. At 12.30pm you will hear the bells ring open as our ringers join with the rest of the country to celebrate the People’s Procession, a Nation’s thank you. At 6.30pm, there will be a special evening service for Remembrance and for Peace, which will include the lighting of a beacon and the ringing of the bells at around 7pm. More bells, eight ringers will gather at St Mary’s on Saturday morning to attempt a full peal on the bells which should last for three hours. Mid-week Holy Communion takes place again on Tuesday at noon in the Lady Chapel of the church. Please take this opportunity to meet with God in a busy week. At 7.30pm on Tuesday, you are welcome to pop into The Anchor for some refreshment and company. Support the Children’s Society, our Christingle Service is just one month away and candles for your small change are available to collect from church in readiness to return them at Christingle on Sunday December 2.
