ST GEORGE'S DAY: Well, I hope that any English flags are flown for the traditional reason, to celebrate England's Patron Saint's Day. Strangely, I find myself daily chanting mantras like '˜Enjoy life, it's not a rehearsal' and '˜Make the Best of every day', plus I pray that someone will please keep Donald Trump away from Russia, North Korea and any round, shiny buttons.

ANNUAL PLANT SALE: Tomorrow, Saturday, Ninfield Horticultural Society are holding their annual Plant Sale and Coffee Morning at the Memorial Hall from 9am to 11am. Do go early to make sure you get the widest of choices at this popular event. There will be light refreshments available, and delicious homemade cakes to sustain you while you browse. There’s always a fantastic array, a great selection of plants at really good prices, and a friendly welcome to all visitors who might like more information on all the Horti Society’s meetings, shows and events.

QUIZ NIGHT: Tomorrow, Saturday, is the Quiz Night at the Memorial Hall. Doors open at 7pm for the quiz of the year which starts promptly at 7.30pm. This annual fundraiser for the hall has become a popular fixture in the quizzers calendar and it is hoped that there will be a full house of teams of six again. It’s £6 per head to participate, which includes a fabulous ploughman’s supper, provided by the Hall Committee. Please bring nibbles and drinks, plus a suitable glass to accompany the meal. Don’t worry if you can’t make up a whole team, just turn up at 7pm and teams will be made up on the night. Everyone is very welcome, there will be lots of fun and banter, the quiz is devised and hosted by Jan and Martin Wood and all profits from the evening go towards the next phase of the Hall refurbishment, the upgrade of the kitchen and toilets. Come and have some fun.
