Sedlescombe

SEDLESCOMBE PLAYERS: Congratulations to Sedlescombe Players on their recent triumphant sell out production of Deadly Nightcap , a thriller by Francis Durbridge that they performed at Sedlescombe village hall last week. Everyone involved in the group is so talented, actors, scenery, lighting, sound, stage , front ofhouse , catering and costumes were all of the highest standard , many people in the audience were heard to say that they had not seen better on the West End stage. Tara Buchanan as director of the production and chairman of the group certainly knows how to pull it and hold it all together for the entertainment of us all. Their next production is “’Allo ‘Allo “ in June 2015 more laughs than murders so don’t miss that!

CHURCH HEATING PROJECT: Come along to the Queens Head this Saturday February 14 at 11am to learn more about the major renovations taking place at St John the Baptist, our Parish Church. Everyone is welcome to see the final plans and partake in a cup of coffee.

CHURCHYARD CLEARING: I had to read this twice when the information arrived on this but have no fear it is a churchyard clearing morning of overgrown plants etc. on Saturday February 21 from 9.30am. Can you spare some time to help to keep the churchyard tidy? Tools and gloves will be limited so if you can bring your own it would help. Refreshments will be provided. That old saying comes to mind “ Many hands make light work”
