Stag do in Poynings
We have got a family “Stag Do” this weekend, 9/10 August, in one of our fields at the end of Mill Lane in Poynings.
So, any sightings of vans or tents, or sounds of music, it is not travellers or an illegal rave it is just a group of men, hopefully having a good time, with our permission.

Combine Harvester
Please be aware that if the weather continues to be dry, we would like to harvest the fields west of the village.
This means that we are going to have to be able to move our Combine Harvester, which is rather large and 15 foot wide, through the village, at short notice.
Please could you make sure that your cars are not parked in the road blocking our way through, if you are likely to be away for the day and leaving them unattended.
I have spoken to Sussex Police about abnormal road movements and they have informed me that the vehicle removal regulations allow them to tow away any vehicle that prevents any person from carrying out their lawful work. Any charges for this will fall on the owners of the offending vehicles.
I do not intend to be unreasonable, but the grain moisture is critical as it cannot be stored above a certain percent, and warm periods of hot dry weather are crucial for harvesting. As some of you have got more than 2 cars, with limited parking space, if you need to park a car out of the way there is room up the farm, please ring me.
Thank you, in anticipation of your co-operation.

Tackling burglary in Sussex
Register your property today
Operation Magpie is our shared ambition to make Sussex a ‘no go’ area for burglars.
Our officers, staff and volunteers are working with our partners to make it impossible for burglars to operate in the county and now we are asking for your help.
When our officers respond to reports of burglary, they often cannot get enough detailed information about the items which have been stolen – without old boxes for electrical items or photographs of jewellery for example it can be very difficult to accurately identify what has been taken.
Better information not only helps us to get a better picture of where burglaries may be part of a series, it also greatly increases the chances of us being able to reunite stolen property with its rightful owner.
Immobilise.com is a free website where you can register the details of your property. The site isn’t just for mobiles and electrical items with serial numbers; you can register absolutely anything using a photo and description.
It is totally secure and is recommended by police forces around the UK.
Police officers access the system when they deal with lost property or items which are believed to have been stolen.
If property is registered on the site then we can identify who the lawful owner is.
If your house is burgled or if you are a victim of theft, then you will have a greater chance of being reunited with your property. Registering helps us to catch burglars and people who trade in stolen goods – giving us the evidence we need to prove that property is stolen.
25 million people use immobilise and, every week through the site, hundreds of people are reunited with their lost or stolen property.
Please help us to promote Operation Magpie and tackle burglary in Sussex by taking a few minutes to register your property on immobilise today: www.immobilise.com
