West Hoathly School Are Going For Gold
In this the Olympic year the scene has been set for an Ancient Greek Odyssey. West Hoathly Primary School will host their sixth fundraising ball on June 23rd.
Over the past ten years the small village school has raised an astounding £65,000. The funds raised at this event are earmarked to be spent on enhancing sports and physical education for its pupils.
Most of the money raised will be via silent and live auction on the night, this year we have the honour of having the Comedian Russ Williams as our compare and auctioneer. We would appeal to businesses in the area to sponsor this worthwhile community event and would like to thank Comber & Son Builders and Champain Financial Services for already pledging their support and for those who have kindly donated raffle and auction prizes.
For further information on purchasing tickets or for sponsorship opportunities please contact Michelle Taylor on 07547 767396.

Proposed Development in Hammingden Lane, Highbrook
The Planning Application for the construction of a new roadway to access Brook House Farm from Hammingden Lane (opposite Upper Sheriff Farmhouse) has been resubmitted.
Although some details have changed, in our opinion this development is still unnecessary and unsightly in the AONB and creates an additional traffic hazard in our narrow country lane.
Please read the full plans and voice your opinion by clicking on the link below (comments on the previous application are NOT carried forward).

FREE Smeg 70cm cooker hood
Free to a good home (collection only), bought from an eBay advertisement (see below). It is a seconds model as it has two marks on the chimney and it has two missing screws but we think it should work fine. The eBay company refunded us in full due to the missing screws.

On 25 May West Sussex County Council are hosting a Dementia Awareness Day at the Redwood Centre in Haywards Heath.(adjacent to Clair Hall) The day will be a mixture of stalls, presentations and workshops with the aim of giving the general public a chance to connect with local services and groups that may be able to help them if they are worried about their memory or a loved one.

Do you need a new Freeview TV receiver for the digital switchover?
We have bought a new Freeview HD receiver with built-in BBC iPlayer (needs broadband connection) plus modern "wideband" roof/loft aerial solely to show the Buckingham Palace Jubilee concert live (in the marquee on June 4th) after which they will be sold.
I highly recommend this receiver as it has HD and the iPlayer feature as a bonus. Best offer received by the Jubilee weekend will secure either item - proceeds to the Jubilee funds.
Happy to answer any questions. John Downe 01444-892065.
The receiver is an I-Can Easy HD and cost £35, the aerial has "48 elements", is fully assembled and cost £18. The receiver has SCART and HDMI connections for the TV output. I tested the Freeview High Definition channels this morning on the Rec.
If you pay above the cost price I will help you set it up at home (but I'm not climbing on your roof!).

Is your "Broadband" more like dangling from a narrow thread?
Miscellaneous Article
Internet connections are currently going through a major speed upgrade in the UK with many areas getting over 30 times faster Internet access than many of us receive today in our parish.
Potentially this puts rural areas at a disadvantage educationally for students, commercially for business users and in general access to the "information superhighway" for households. Your help is needed here to make a case for improvement! more...69 comments and 13 replies, latest about 4 months ago
