ON SONG FOR SUMMER: The Ouse Valley Singers have been engaged to perform Summer is a-Coming In, a medley of music including classical, folk, pop and funk at St John’s Church on Saturday June 23 at 7.30pm. They are a community choir based in Kingston but also include members from Lewes, Brighton and Newhaven as well. The show is a celebration of summer and there will also be contributions from instrumentalists and a student band called Funkionality from Sussex Downs College. Tickets cost £5 and are already available from Vanessa Giles at Halyards or Christine Bentham at Elderberry House (Court Farm Close). They will also be available on the door on the night and children under 12 come in free. All proceeds will go to Newhaven Food Bank which apart from a small Newhaven Town Council grant, is entirely dependent on the goodwill of generous donors.
BOOK CLUB: The next meeting in the village is on Thursday June 28 when the subject is Life Class by Pat Barker. Full details from Vanessa at Halyards.

Now with the disappearance of much of the rubbish the site looks bigger than probably most villagers envisaged. Would the restoration of the lovely stone walls, which the previous builder wrecked, be too much to ask? Another bricks-and-mortar project flowering into reality is the splendid space behind the Simmonds residence where lovely Gill is being provided with an attractive modern accommodation. The garden and walk-way attached is now looking ready to blossom. The joy of having an architect for a grandson.
