St John the Baptist Church: Our Autumn Fair last Saturday was our final fund-raising event for the year, unless someone has some very bright ideas! We made a grand total of £333. The wonderful selection of homemade cakes, jams and chutneys, are always very popular, as is the raffle and tombola. We would like to say thanks to everybody for all the generous donations. It is always good to raise money for our church, as we do have plans for next year. The report on the school handwriting competition will be dealt with by Emma or Richard Williams. The children's talents in this area were on show in the church.

Remembrance Sunday 11th November - The Reverend Brian Llewellyn will be conducting the service at our church. The congregation will gather beforehand outside, beside the War Memorial and lay a wreath paying our respects to the soldiers who gave their lives in two world wars. Everyone is welcome to join us for a short while on this important day. Thanks Gillian.

Pass & Move Under 13s: The next fixture at the Netherfield Village Hall Playing Field for the Pass & Move under 13s team is Sunday 4th November Vs ASC Strikers. This is the league cup and ASC are currently top of Division 1. It will be a 10.30 KO. All are welcome.

Netherfield Village Hall Library Service: Despite the generous donations of bookcases over the past few weeks, we are still very short of places to store the books we have been offered, by so many people. It is difficult to ask them to hold onto their gifts for the time being but we cannot display them as we would like. Unfortunately, we are awaiting a further response to our request from East Sussex County Council for usable equipment to house the books, or, alternatively, funding for a more permanent display. The children’s area, because of the volume of titles that we have on offer, is the section most affected, as a table is currently the only means of displaying these items, not, I might add, to their best advantage. However, we are getting there and it was never going to be a walk in the park to initiate and run this free community service. If you have anything we could use please contact us using the methods listed at the end of the blog.
