My Complex Canine – Puppy School
Friday afternoon/evening (Hadlow Down Village hall)

Puppy School is a nationwide puppy socialisation and training scheme founded by internationally renowned trainer and behaviour expert Gwen Bailey. Puppy School is designed to help you to teach your puppy valuable socialisation and life skills, whilst building a lifelong partnership through positive, reward-based training methods
The course covers basic positions (sit, down, stand, stay), lead walking, recall, settling calmly, confidence around real life experiences (vets & groomers), greeting people without jumping and much more.
If you are looking to give your puppy the best start in life, your trainer Sarah offers a relaxed, friendly and supportive environment for you to learn in, so you can build confidence with your training skills too!

The Garden – Ken Mine’s Column for November
One of the few constants in an ever-changing climate is the autumn of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Well, mists anyway – often spectacular from our garden looking towards Crowborough in the early morning when it lies in a thick blanket in the valley, the tops of trees poking through here and there. Fruitfulness for us is not traditional – we don’t have room for pumpkins and although fascinatingly colourful we can’t make room for inedible gourds. Instead, we take advantage of the protection afforded by the greenhouse and polytunnel to keep us supplied throughout the coming months with salads. Cut and come again’ varieties include rocket, mizuna and several types of mixed leaves. American land cress can be sown as late as September and is very hardy: even surviving outdoors.

Race Night Postponement
We are disappointed to announce the cancellation of our Race Night scheduled for Saturday 23rd Oct at the Village Hall. We were taken aback with the generous support of so many – all the races and horses were sold and Julian Michaelson-Yeates was busily preparing a delicious curry for an expected eighty people. Unfortunately, the take-up of bookings did not match our optimism and with such a low number, we decided to cancel. There may be several reasons to explain this but we suspect that continued anxiety about gathering in a confined indoor space with others was a real issue.
We have re-scheduled the Race Night for Saturday 26th March 2022. Thanks for your continued support for our new hall and please continue to visit our website and Facebook pages to keep in touch with our progress.
Best wishes,
Bob Lake on behalf of HDCC
