Bank: The NatWest mobile bank calls at the Village Hall car park each Thursday 1.15-2.15pm.

Blue Cross: Every household should have received a leaflet and voting form from the Parish Council regarding the sale of the Blue Cross lands. Please, please, do respond to the questionnaire, and if you have inadvertently swept it away with junk mail, contact the Parish Office. There are strong feelings on both sides, so it would be really good to have a clear majority vote. The vote will be counted on April 8th, so please get your form back, in its sealed envelope, to the Parish Council by Friday 6th April.

Spring Show: Now we’ve got some sunshine and flowers, it’s time for Northiam Horticultural Society’s Spring Show. Look online for a Schedule, or phone the Show Secretary, Alison Kirk (252525). You don’t need to be a member, and you can take part with as little as a single daffodil, so you really don’t need to be an expert to join in, and there’s always someone around to show you the ropes. Ours is one of the oldest horticultural societies in the country – and one of the best!!

Library: Northiam library is still up and running and we hope it remains so. Northiam Parish Council have presented a proposal to ESCC, which, if accepted, will ensure the future of the library. Meanwhile the volunteers are still keeping the library open, so please use it - a village amenity worth saving
