Poynings Village Party – 25th July

Suffering from the heat, depressed at losing to Albourne at stoolball, sad that the village fete is over! Never mind, get your diary out and make sure you have July 25th in your diary for Poynings Village Party, something for everyone. This year there will be a cup for the winners of the tug of war against Fulking. Of course, Fulking may not get a team together as they know they will lose😣. Please contact our resident expert Mike Airey to put your name down.

Friday 19th at Poynings Cricket Club. The annual Stoolball match.

Poynings v Pyecombe.   

Starts at 6pm . The bar will be open and there will also be a bbq.  

If you are interested in playing please contact Luke or Bethany.

Annual Parish Council Meeting

At the recent Annual Parish Council Meeting, John stood down as Chairman and Mike stood down as Vice Chairman, both after 6 years’ service. They’ll both stay on as councillors, at least until elections which take place next year. They were replaced by Bethany as chairman and Andy as Vice Chairman.
While we’ll miss the leadership of both John and Mike, it is great that we now have fresh thinking leading the PC. Bethany is also on the Board of Trustees of the village hall.
Remember, they are all volunteers, and thanks to everyone who helps out to keep the village a fun, clean and safe place to live.
