Village Hall
As villagers, you may be aware that the Good Start Nursery School has had difficulty recruiting pupils over the last few months. Natasha ,the owner, has therefore sadly made the decision to close the school from the end of the Summer Term.
Although the current nursery is only operating from Monday to Wednesday for 32 weeks of the year, it has over the years provided an income which has allowed the Trustees, on behalf of the Church, to maintain and improve the fabric of the building and offer the hall free of charge to villagers. With this in mind, the Trustees are keen to consider other options for rental and would be open to suggestions regarding this. If there are any recommendations which potentially sound suitable please contact either
Tim Harford (revtimharford@gmail.com)
Matt Cuttress (cuttress.family@btopenworld.com ) or
Caroline Alford ( calford16@yahoo.com).
Many thanks, Caroline

Defibrillator training 8th May 6.30 – 8.00pm.
There are approximately 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) a year within the UK. However, the survival rate is currently low, with only 10% of victims surviving an OHCA. Yet, research has shown that deploying a defibrillator within 3–5 minutes of collapse can produce survival rates as high as 50–70%.
This training will be a bit of general theory, CPR and Use of Defibrillator. With manikins and AED (Defibrillator simulators). Includes adult, child and baby theory. If there is time, will run through Choking as well.

Broadband update
As you may be aware. A few years back Poynings Parish council applied for grants (via a voucher scheme) to have superfast fibre to the premises installed in Newtimber, Poynings and Fulking. It was successful and the rollout is now complete. Even if you haven’t applied yet, it is available, up to speeds of 950 Mbps
