Burwash

Home - Well here I am back home with my family. My trip to Canada while being enjoyable was also emotional as so much was happening. Hopefully things will settle down now and they can all get on with their lives without too much stress. It is good to be home and catch up with my friends. I am also looking forward to continuing to keep you informed of the goings on around our three villages. If you have articles of any kind you wish to share with my readers, please contact me on 01435 882107 or email [email protected]

Memorial - How fitting it was to see the plane flying over head as a commemoration to WW2 pilot Reginald Rimmer on Saturday morning. The pilot made several low flying loops over the memorial stone in Franchise Drive, Spring Lane. Burwash as part of the rededication of the new memorial stone erected there in his memory.

Quiz - What a great evening the Village hall quiz evening was last Saturday. Thanks to our resident quiz masters Terry Parker & Steve Bennett we all enjoy some brain exercise, a good laugh and much banter. The village hall committee laid on a fabulous hot supper and those desserts were yummy. Thanks to the ten teams that joined in the fun we raised over £500 for hall funds.
