The Hadlow Down Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator has now become ‘A Friend Against Scams’ the project is a National Trading Standards initiative.
Consumers lose £5 to 10 billion every year to internet, ‘phone & door-to-door scams. Hadlow Down Online aims to create as much awareness as possible via the Village Web Site, Bulk emailed Newsletters, Email Alerts, the Village Facebook Group and Parish Magazine. ‘Friend Against Scams’ news and alerts will be included in the Neighbourhood Watch pages of the Village Web Site listing all current and recent scams as well as offering advice on what action should be taken when you think you may be a victim of a scam or have been targeted by scammers.
We welcome all input from villagers regarding scams they receive or know of in order that we can make more people aware of those currently ‘doing the rounds’. Please email details to webadmin@hadlowdown.com headed ‘Scam Alert’.
Scam Warning: Phone message threatens HMRC lawsuit
HMRC has sent an alert about a scam which targets taxpayers and seems to be aimed at the elderly in particular.
There is currently a telephone scam where a recorded message is left, allegedly from HMRC, stating that HMRC are bringing a lawsuit against the individual and is going to sue them. The recipient is asked to phone 0161 8508494 and press “1” to speak to the officer dealing with the case. This scam is becoming widely reported and seems to be targeting older people. Please do not reply to the message. Continue reading “Scam Warning: Phone message threatens HMRC lawsuit”

Cert 15
After leaving London for the English countryside, writer A.A. Milne starts to spin fanciful yarns about his son’s growing collection of stuffed animals. These stories form the basis for “Winnie-the-Pooh” and “The House at Pooh Corner,” published respectively in 1926 and 1928. Milne and his family soon become swept up in the instant success of the books, while the enchanting tales bring hope and comfort to the rest of postwar England.
Saturday 16th. June – 7.00pm for 7.30pm
Refreshments available throughout – ice cream at the interval!. Bring your own bottle of wine – glasses supplied.

The Ghost Train Postponed
It is with great regret that Hadlow Down Variety Club, following in the best tradition of British Rail, must announce that the Ghost Train scheduled to run on 4th. & 5th May has had to be postponed. One of our lead actors has suddenly fallen ill and will need a long period of recovery and we all wish him well. Being so close to the performance date finding someone to take the part on is not an option but the director and cast having already put so much work into what will be a great local theatrical production are determined that the show is not cancelled but just postponed. The new dates are November the 23rd. & 24th. The good news is that there may be more seats available! Watch this space!!
For all ticket queries and to book for the November dates ring:

Football
We now have a brand-new football area. Fully leveled, drained and re-seeded.
It’s run by a committee of trustees with much help from our friends and 
volunteers. Thanks to a grant we received from Wealden District Council, we have purchased some goals, corner flags and a line marking machine and paint. So we are fully kitted up and ready for the 2018-19 season.
