Mountfield
DATES AND REMINDERS: First, a reminder about tomorrow (Saturday, September 20th) which is the Mountfield Ride and Walk which starts and finishes opposite the church. Ample parking for cars and boxes, refreshments and hot dogs, set off anytime from 9.30 to 12.30. The full course is approximately 10 miles but there are opportunities to tailor the distance according to fitness of mounts or walkers. There are rosettes for all who complete the whole course — but then no-one will know if you cut a corner and the marshals won’t tell. Anyone who has driven round the roundabout at John’s Cross will know that there is a lot of local competition but, as we’ve said before, this Ride and Walk reaches parts of the local countryside no other can. So let’s hope for a good turnout as all proceeds are in aid of All Saints Church, Mountfield. Secondly, a reminder about the DACS annual party and AGM the following day (Sunday 21st, 4.00 pm). Please note the change of venue. It will take place at Banks Farm, not Brightling Village Hall. Find out the state of play, what DACS has been up to, what it’s planning, and what the challenges are for the future. Non-members welcome. Please let Victoria know if you will be attending (880500).
MOUNTFIELD CLUB: The new snooker season started this week and the Club team had an impressive 5-1 home win over Burwash last week in their final pre-season friendly.
