Staplecross

The Ewhurst and Staplecross Village Hall AGM will be held next Tuesday (February 12) in the village hall at Staplecross at 7.30pm. This meeting is open to members of the public who will find out how valuable the village hall is to the whole community.

The annual Quiz Night organised by the Ewhurst, Staplecross and Bodiam Garden Society held last Saturday evening was most successful and attracted a number of people who are not members of the Society. As well as the Quiz there was a Heads and Tails competition to add to the fun and delicious homemade soup and crusty bread for supper completed the evening.

Anyone living in the parish (Ewhurst Green, Staplecross, Cripps Corner) who is 50+ and would enjoy a hot meal with good company once a month in Staplecross village hall, should contact Anka 830260 or Dennis 830816 to indicate their interest and make a booking. The lunches take place on the third Wednesday of each month and for February the date is Wednesday February 20.
