Panto: Did you get to see the wonderful performances of the Burwash Amateur Pantomime society last weekend. My sources say it was brilliant. The whole show was well acted and produced from scenery to costumes. Camelot is an unusual show for Panto, but it seems to have worked. There are three more performances this weekend. Tonight at 8pm and again tomorrow at 2.30pm & 7.30pm. Get your tickets from the Burwash newsagents before it is too late. Well done BAPS and good luck for this weekend.

Walk: The next parish footpath walk will take place on Monday morning from 9am. If you would like to join them you will need to be at the Bear car park by 9am. Roger Cloke will be your guide and he will take you over some of the network of public footpaths that are a great part of our beautiful villages. The walks are over by lunch time.
