The South Downs National Park Authority published their South Downs Local Plan: Preferred Options for consultation on 2nd September for public consultation. As part of the consultation we are holding a series of public drop in sessions. These sessions will allow members of the public to drop in, see what is in the plan and ask questions of planning officers. The first public drop in session was held last night in Lewes for the East Sussex part of the National Park. Whilst the turnout at the event was good, we did receive a lot of feedback from the public, and some parish councillors that they were not aware of the public roadshows.

To ensure that the public roadshows are publicised can I ask that forward details of these roadshows to your Councillors and ask that they promote the events to neighbours and others in your parish wherever possible. The SDNPA have sent out packs of posters and leaflets to all parish councils, but some of these packages do not appear to have arrived with the Parish Councils, and therefore the publicity material has not gone out in the parish. I have had some parish councils confirm receipt of this material (Posters and Postcards) but not all, so im sending this email to make sure the parish councils are aware of the public roadshows.

More information on the roadshows and the public consultation can be found on our website by following this link

Edburton Church

Dear All

Throughout the year we have continually been raising money for our lovely church via the regular Sales at the Book Nook, and more recently at the very wet Fulking Fair. We are now writing to tell you about our forthcoming events and activities

We are holding an OLD TIME MUSIC HALL Singalong in the church on Friday 2nd October at 7.30pm.

The singing will be led by The Pyecombe Village Choir and tickets, priced at £10, include supper of Bangers, Beans and Baked Potatoes and a welcome drink. Numbers will be limited.

On Sunday 18th October we will be holding our Annual Picnic following on from the Harvest Festival Service. Knapsacks of food are distributed which can be eaten in the church – or outside if the weather is fine. Now in its fourth year this is always a happy occasion and gives us time to enjoy the special atmosphere of St Andrew’s. Lunches are £6.50 and must be ordered in advance.

Friday 27th November is the date of our Annual Quiz which will again be held at Preston Nomads’ Cricket Pavilion. Often a sellout, so early booking is advised. Tickets are £7.50 per person and include our famous Ploughman’s Platter. Teams to consist of a maximum of four people.

Our Carol Service is provisionally planned for Sunday 20th December at 6.00pm and as usual we will be serving mulled wine and mince pies.

AND LAST…….

but not LEAST……..

We are producing a limited edition calendar for 2016 using some of Graham’s lovely drawings. It is A4 in size with a spiral top and central hanger. There is a month to view with plenty of room for writing down engagements. They should be available from the beginning of October when we hope all details, including selling outlets, will be on the benefice website – www.downlandchurches.co.uk. We estimate they will be about £5 each.

If you regularly buy calendars please will you consider ours first!

To buy tickets for any of the above, or for more details, please email StAndrewsEdburton@yahoo.co.uk, or phone 07812-465-559.

We hope you will support us in some of the above and look forward to seeing/hearing from you soon.

With all good wishes

Jane Warne
