Annual Barbecue - August 2010 |
|
The annual barbecue went ahead in spite of the weather - cool and overcast with early evening showers. Jenny and Martin managed to find enough cover under gazebos for everyone and the food was cooked under a large umbrella. The usual chicken, burgers and sausages were accompanied by a variety of delicious salads and glasses of wine.

Visit to West Blatchington Windmill - July 2010 |
|
West Blatchington Windmill proved to be a most interesting summer visit.
We were taken on a guided tour by Peter Hill, a long serving and very knowledgable and enthusiatic volunteer. Not everyone could make it to the top, but those who did learnt a lot about the workings of this and other Sussex mills and enjoyed fine views. There is an excellent museum on the ground floor and Peter's wife kindly provided us with refreshments to round off a very enjoyable evening.
A visit to the mill is thoroughly recommended. |

18 members played pétanque at Beech Hurst Gardens and enjoyed a glass or two of wine and a selection of delicious savouries provided by Jenny and Martin. |
