News from the New Village Hall Committee
As you know we are now in the process of applying for grant funding towards the cost of building our New Village Hall. We are also in the early stages of planning some exciting fundraising events, watch this space!
As part of our ongoing efforts we are pleased to announce that we now have a JustGiving page. This means that you will be able to support us through your own fundraising efforts or simply by making a donation directly to us.
Our application for Gift Aid status is in progress. Donating through Gift Aid means charities like us and community amateur sports clubs (CASCs) can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. It will not cost you any extra.
You can read all about it over on the New Village Hall Website
News from St.Mary’s, Buxted
ST MARY’S, BUXTED VILLAGE welcome all from Hadlow Down to join them at the OPEN DAY & CRAFT FAIR 16/05/20 (mid-day to 6pm)
This year’s event will again be a joint effort with the Claude Jessett Trust (Tinker’s Park). The steam miniature railway will be giving rides in the Top Field, where there will be a Beer & Wine Tent, BBQ and a Bouncy Castle.
The Craft Fair will be bigger and better this year, and will extend into the Hall Garden and Church surrounds. Both Parish schools will have stalls, along with lots of interesting exhibitors and people selling bric-a-brac and vintage goods.
The craft theme is continued in the car park area, where there will be a working forge and demonstrations of woodland crafts. Wally the Steam Engine will be in place, together with his lovingly restored Edwardian living van.
The church itself will be looking its best, with a special flower display and our organist playing between 2.00 and 3.00.
