In December, Alan Mitchell hosted his last Christmas p and, as usual, it was a lovely gathering, Alan will be an honoured guest at this year's party, of which more later.
We began the New Year with a quiz featuring Sussex writers and artists, that was seriously lighthearted!

March 13 is the date for our annual lunch at the Brickwall Hotel and on April 12 members will discuss Sheila's book 'Sussex Gorse', which is available from the library.
