If you could volunteer for a few hours either Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday morning please let Annette know at [email protected]. This is a really special village event. It is one of the biggest fund raisers for the village hall and it needs lots of individual help to keep it running. If you have any produce, plants, cakes or savouries to donate please bring them to the village hall on the morning or contact Annette. As usual there will be a beer tent and barbeque.

If you have a favourite family recipe or a Sussex favourite dish please send to Annette at [email protected]. The recipe book will be published for Christmas so please let Annette have your ideas and make it a real village production.
