A Note from St Peter’s Church
As I write, this morning was the first Sunday of 2019, and there was a sizeable
congregation at St Peter’s, which was lovely, despite the definitely chillier feel to the
weather. It was also lovely to spot the first snowdrops starting to flower under the hedge
which borders the church grounds. Once again, enormous thanks must go to our Parish
Administrator, who has ensured that all our services up until Easter are covered by a small
number of regular, visiting clergy, some of whom we now know quite well. Interregnums
can, and usually do, last for many months, and so we are not expecting to hear about
what may or may not happen at St Peter’s, regarding a new clergy appointment, for
some considerable time. Meanwhile, the week-to-week business and events continue
as usual, which is exactly how it should be, thanks to a large group of willing volunteers
and supporters.

Please note that one of those groups of volunteers ensures that St Peter’s is still open
every day during daylight hours, and whilst it may be a little dark in there thorugh these
winter months, as lights are not left on, a motion-sensor light is activated just inside the
door as one enters, and one’s eyes quickly get used to the gloaming. It is a peaceful and
prayerful place, where anyone is welcome to come and sit quietly, or to explore some of
the interesting aspects of the church’s history, which dates back to 1256. Copies of ‘St
Peter’s Church Guide’ and of the booklet, ‘Chailey Through the Ages’ are available to
purchase at a nominal price from the leaflet stand at the back of the church. There are
also other free leaflets and publications on the stand which are worth taking a look at,
ranging from what is going on in and around the Chichester Diocese, advice on keeping
warm and safe at home and how to obtain help on a wide selection of themes.

One of the pieces of parish administration that needs to be addressed now is the renewal
of St Peter’s Electoral Roll, which must be completed before the beginning of April 2019.
The Electoral Roll is the basic list in all Church of England parishes of everyone entitled
to vote in elections within the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. Those entitled to have
their names on the Roll have to be 16 years of age or more and they must reside in the
parish, or be regular worshippers. The Roll is updated every year, but must be completely
renewed every six years, at which point all members have to re-apply for membership or
else their names will be deleted. This ensures that the continuing validity of the Roll is
maintained. If you are eligible and would like to be on the new Roll, please complete a
form which you will find in a box just inside the church, and return it as soon as you can.
Friday March 1st will soon be here, probably before some of you receive the March
issue of Chailey News, and so it is a date for your diary now. As mentioned in a previous
article, this is the day we will take part in the ‘World Day of Prayer’, and it is the turn
of St Peter’s to host it on behalf of the Deanery this year. (It was previously known as
the ‘Women’s World Day of Prayer’, but has now been updated to include all genders,
and everyone is welcome!) Even if you don’t normally come to church, please feel free
to come along to see what is happening, and to join in with what promises to be an
interesting, celebratory and reflective time, as well as an opportunity to get to know other
folk from around the area. The service will be based on the country of Slovenia this year;
it will begin at 2.00pm, and is likely to finish around 4.00pm, with refreshments served
afterwards.

Also, Lent begins very soon into the start of March, so the March issue of Chailey News
will have details of our Lent Lunches, which will then be starting very soon, to be held
once a week during Lent to raise awareness of, and hopefully some money for, our
selected charity, ‘Caring and Sharing, East Sussex’. These will be light soup-and-roll
lunches in a friendly and convivial atmosphere, and again, the more the merrier, so
please feel very welcome to come along.

With all good wishes from St Peter’s,

Christine Peskett - Churchwarden

World Day Of Prayer
    This annual event is being held for the Uckfield
   Deanery, at St Peter’s Church, Chailey Green (BN8
          4DA), on Friday 1st March at 2pm.

              This will be followed by refreshments.

  The country represented this year is Slovenia, where
 our attention will be drawn to the lives of those living in
                        that country.

This is a lovely service of hymns, prayers and reflection,
            and everyone is invited to join us.

Chailey Commons Society
The New Year started on a milder note this year and this was because of the High
Pressure sitting over the UK and forming a blocking pattern to the westerly flow of
weather fronts. February often has a colder period including snowfall and I am reminded
that the full moon this month is called the Snow Moon occurring on Tuesday 19th but not
clearly seen as it is at 15.53 in the afternoon.

If you have walked the local paths and commons, you may have noticed the abundance
of the Hazel catkins. If you look closely at the hazel twigs, you can see the beautiful
tiny deep red female hazel flower, which, if fertilized by the wind-blown pollen from the
catkins, will become a delicious hazel nut later in the year. The fact that hazel has the
male and female flowers (organs) on the same plant means that they are monoecious or
hermaphrodite, meaning also that they can fertilize themselves or other individual plants
(trees) of the same species.

Our Activities commenced in January with a talk by Joanna Walmisley from Wakehurst
about a behind the scenes look at growing rare plants for reintroduction into the UK.

The programme continues with an Indoor Meeting in the Chailey Village Hall on Thursday
February 14th at 7.30.p.m. when Penny Green, ecologist at Knepp Castle, has kindly
agreed to come along and talk to us about the amazing rewilding project at the Knepp
Castle Estate. This is a follow up to our outing there last year when we were shown
around on one of their Safari trips. The date sounds familiar so why not come along
together and enjoy the talk. Parking and refreshments and a warm welcome to family,
friends and visitors.

                       The next meeting will be held on Tuesday 5th February when
                       Ros Black will give a talk entitled Scandal, Salvation and
                       Suffrage. Our speaker is a local author and we look forward to
                       a fascinating talk.

                        We got off to an excellent start in January with a really good
attendance and a splendid speaker. Martin Barnard is a member of the Sussex Search
and Rescue and we heard all about the organisation, which was founded in 2002 soon
after the Sara Payne case showed that organised, trained searchers were a vital part
of an nvestigation. All cases are at the request of the Police and there is an annual
budget of £21,000 which covers the cost of two vehicles, one of which is equipped with
the technical support necessary. We learnt how the volunteers receive their training and
the different emergencies they face on a regular basis, sometimes working with the dog
teams to help find missing persons.

We meet in the Village Hall on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.45 pm when
prospective members and guests are always welcome, and a donation of £3 will include
home-made refreshments.

Letter from Maria Caulfield
One of the biggest issues that is being raised with me at the moment is the increasing
dangers on our rural roads. Traffic movements have increased greatly but so too has the
use, by HGV’s and commercial vehicles, of our rural roads as short cuts. This is making
our roads increasingly dangerous for all road users.

As a result I have raised in Parliament the possibility of introducing compulsory
commercial sat navs for all HGVs as a way of directing them to drive on A roads but also
as a tool of enforcement to ensure height and width restrictions are complied with.
Commercial satnavs are like normal car satnavs, but they include bridge heights, narrow
roads, and roads unsuitable for trucks. In addition, they allow the driver to enter the
lorry's dimensions - height, width, weight and load – so they are only guided along
suitable roads. However, they are typically slightly more expensive than ones designed
for cars. They can also be used as an enforcement tool as they record routes taken and
can be examined for evidence if a complaint is made.

The proposed legislation that I am asking the Government to introduce would also
enable fines to be served for those who flout weight restrictions. Lorries of a certain
weight or width are banned from many minor roads but the police do not always have the
resources to enforce the restrictions. The money collected from the fines could be used
towards tackling the national pothole backlog, which could reach £14 billion in two years.
It is common sense that all lorry drivers should use satnavs designed for trucks, but this
is only going to become a reality when it is a mandatory requirement. We are talking
about a very small extra cost to drivers. If it was successful it could be rolled out to all
commercial vehicles to ensure the current laws are complied with.

Please do let me know your views and experiences on this so we can work towards
making our local roads safer.

Newick and Chailey Hospice Support Group
The Newick and Chailey Hospice Support Group is looking for new committee members.

worthwhile enterprise and would anybody who feels they would like to help please
contact me.

Choir Treat.

The Choir boys were taken to Brighton and visited the Grand Theatre where they saw an
afternoon performance of the Pantomime ‘Babes in the Wood.’ Although the matinee
lasted for nearly three and a half hours they boys thoroughly enjoyed every moment of
it. They also showed their appreciation of the good tea provided for them afterwards at
Clark’s in North Street. The party returned home by the last train the beautiful weather
adding considerably to the enjoyment of the outing.

Note: The Grand Theatre Brighton was well known for its twice a day variety shows but
sadly like so many others closed its doors for the last time in 1955. After a fire in 1961
it was demolished and the site is now occupied by an office building called Tower Point.

HELPING RESIDENTS IN SOUTH CHAILEY –
                                       DEVELOPMENT OF GRADWELL RETIREMENT
                                       VILLAGE

                                        On January 4th I received an urgent email from a
very helpful resident informing me of problems that he and his family, as well as others
living in and around Mill Lane are experiencing. The construction of a new Retirement
Village with access from Gradwell End is a huge project and it is imperative that the de-
veloper is sensitive to the impact it has on the local community.

Based on the information given - on the 5th January, I contacted the Lewes District
Council Head of Planning - Planning Lawyer and Enforcement Officer I also contacted
an extremely senior Director of Retirement Villages Ltd who responded immediately to
apologise and arranged for an urgent site meeting to deal with the problems. I now have
the email of the manager that has been allocated the Gradwell Village site responsibility
and he has agreed to work with me as your District Councillor representive and residents
to ensure all planning conditions are strictly adhered to. Since then, residents have seen
a great improvement as far as keeping the area clean and safe and I have visited the
area a number of times to check.

With many thanks to the resident who contacted me, I was glad I was able to help in
some small way. We will work together to ensure the developer keeps the standards we
are looking for.

MORE SAY FOR MORE COUNCILLORS IN THE LEWES DISTRICT COUNCIL

For some years I have put forward the idea of more councillors having some worthwhile
input in decision making. It has been a somewhat solitary quest. This is an extremely
dry subject and, on the face of it, I understand how un-important it seems compared with
making ends meet, paying bills, keeping a job and looking after our families.

The Local Government Act 2000 imposed the cabinet model on all councils (except in
the smallest districts) forcing Councils to abolish the committee system. To cut the story
short: a few Councillors decide most matters in the Cabinet system. I have proposed
that Lewes District Council form a Working Group to look into options. There is flexibility
of finding what best suits the need of the efficiency of the council and the people we
represent. In my view, too few – make too many decisions. I respect others might
prefer the current system.

Chailey Horticultural Society
Our schedule for 2019 is now available from me,the local shop and the Five Bells. I hope
you will find something of interest and perhaps an entry!

On 26 February Shirley Carman-Martin is giving a flower arranging demonstration in The
Reading Room at 6,00pm. All are welcome. Cheese and wine will be provided and there
is no charge!

February can be a very frustrating month in the garden. The days are getting longer but
in our modern climate it is often the coldest month of the year so the temptation to plant
too early must be resisted.

It is a good month to ensure that all trays, pots and tools are clean and ready for use.
Also clean the glass and plastic in the greenhouse and poly tunnel. I use a dilute solution
of Jeyes fluid making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. If they are empty I let
off a smoke volcano to kill any residual infection.

Finish pruning apples and pears ensuring any old fruit with brown rot is removed and
burned. Still time to plant soft fruit bushes and raspberry canes.
Ensure all brassicas are protected from birds and slugs.

Autumn sown broad beans , garlic and onions can stand any cold weather we may get
but over wintering peas will benefit from some protection.

Aubergines need a long growing season so it is worth trying an early sowing at the end of
the month in a propagator perhaps with tomatoes, chillies and sweet peppers for green
house growing especially if there is extra heat.

Snowdrops will be out. They can be grown from seed though I have never seen this
done. If you wish to move them do this as the foliage dies down.

Our Spring Show is on the 23rd March so get your schedule and think of what to enter!

Good Gardening

Chailey School
Residents will know that, following a successful bid by East Sussex County Council,
Chailey School has been selected to have a new building funded by the Department for
Education.

The new building will transform the learning environment for all our students and staff
and, as a bonus, enable us to provide more opportunities for the community to share
our facilities.

Our architects have presented the project in a series of images and texts on the School’s
website: www.chaileyschool.org/new-building-plans. Go to the box marked Revised
Plans to see the whole series.

We hope that you, the community, will support this project. Your School receives students

                                            11
from nearly 40 different Primary schools and plays a vital role in the formal education of
students in this wide area.

The School will continue to teach and learn during the project and a preliminary Application
was made in January to create a temporary stacked block of classrooms in which we can
continue our work. The formal Application will be made in the early Spring.

                          100 club winning number for December was 100 – Sophie
                          Russell and winner of the January draw was number 5 - Peter
                          Olbrich. Congratulations Sophie and thank you for your
                          support.

                         Our thanks go to everyone who came to our Senior Citizens
                         Christmas Party. It was great to see everyone and hope that
                         you had a good time. Our thanks go to all those who helped
with the preparation and running of this event.

Our next fundraising event is a Jumble Sale on Saturday 2nd March 11am at the Village

Chailey Litter Pickers
1053 bags so far!
Our January litter pick around South Chailey yielded over 23 black bags of litter plus
additional items including car hub caps, car tyre, part of a car bumper, broken road
signs and barriers. There seems to be no let-up in the litter being discarded in our parish
and so we need all the help we can get to keep on top of this problem, which spoils the
natural beauty of the Sussex countryside and turns the parish we call home into a litter
bin.

On a recent visit to Horsham we heard about the Love Horsham scheme which involves
doing random acts of kindness and generosity in the area in which you live. These acts
could be anything from helping a neighbour with their garden, paying for a strangers
cup of coffee or offering a service for free. The idea of many of the acts is to make them
anonymous; giving the blessing but not expecting a reward. Eastbourne does a similar

                                            12
pay-it-forward scheme, promoting love and community in the town. I think Chailey could
join in. Why not leave a surprise gift on a neighbours doorstep, or look for ways to offer
help to someone in need, or litter pick your street. Let’s get imaginative and think of ways
to give and help each other over the next month. #lovechailey

Next Group litter pick: Saturday 9th February meeting at 10am at Chailey Green. All
Welcome. Bring gloves and grabber if you have them. Some equipment available on
the day.

Chailey Repair Café gets off to a flying start
in 2019!
Chailey Repair Café opened its doors on Saturday 12th January and celebrated the
New Year by hitting the ground running! They had 25 of their 32 volunteers attending
and more than 80 visitors, who brought 64 items to be repaired, including a unique hand-
painted ceramic plate which had ended up in 3 pieces, a wooden owl, several blocked
up vacuum cleaners, a magnificent cuckoo clock, 2 typewriters (remember those?!!),
numerous clothing repairs, several radios and much more!

Founder and coordinator Bryan McAlley said ”the recent publicity on BBC TV and
national media about the emergence for Repair Cafes has helped us go from strength
to strength and we are now attracting visitors from all parts of East and West Sussex
and Kent”. Bryan added “within 5 minutes of opening at 10am on 12th January, the hall
was full and we were still fixing stuff right up to 1pm when we closed our doors.”

Cyclists - don’t forget that the Repair Café offers an excellent cycle repair service, so
dust off those bikes and get them to the Café to be given the once over before you
start thinking about getting back on the road this Spring! And remember that the skilled
volunteers at the Cafe will also show cyclists of all ages how to look after and maintain
their machines!!

Chailey Repair Café is part of a world-wide movement where volunteer experts repair
things free of charge – although a donation towards running costs is invited. Anyone can
bring along broken items or clothing needing repair from home, and have a cuppa and
some cake while they wait!

Chailey Repair Café next opens at Chailey Parish Hall 10am – 1pm on Saturday 9th
February and then on the second Saturday of each month.

Lewes District Citizens Advice
Lewes District Citizens Advice expects 31st January to be the year’s busiest day for debt
advice.

Here are our six top tips to sort out your debts.

1.      Work out how much you owe - Make a list of who you owe money to and add
up how much you need to pay each month.

2.        Prioritise your debts - Your rent or mortgage, energy and council tax are
called priority debts and these should always be paid first. Separate these and work out
how much you owe.

3.      Work out how much you can pay - Add up your essential living costs, such as
food and housing and taking away these from your income. Any money you have spare
can be put towards your debts. Citizens Advice budgeting tool can help.

4.       Paying urgent debts - You may have several priority debts and can’t pay them
all. Contact all your creditors to find out if you negotiate. Always pay priority creditors
who are taking action against you.

5.        Paying non-urgent debts - If you have any money left after paying priority
debts, consider getting a free debt-management plan. You’ll make one monthly payment
to the plan provider, who will handle paying your creditors. Or contact your creditors and
offer them what you can afford to pay.

6.        If you can’t pay your debts - If you’ve got little or no money spare to pay your
priority debts seek advice from us straight away.

For information and advice, call us on 03444 111444, visit one of our offices in Newhaven,
Lewes or Seaford or check out our website www.lewesdistrictcab.org.uk for further
details.

Uckfield, Lewes & Newick Art Society
February 13th 2019: Eric Ravilious and the Lure of the Everyday:
Jo Walton 2.30 The Civic Centre Uckfield

Ravilious can be described as one of our greatest water colour painters. His style
and choice of subjects are deceptively simple but capture entirely the spirit of his age.
Tragically he was killed in 1942 aged only 39.

Jo Walton, the lecturer, will also include other artists who worked alongside Ravilious.
The talents of this group, which included such as Paul and John Nash, Peggy Angus and
Tizarah Garwood, are often underestimated but their influence can still be felt to this day.

Jo Walton at the age of 5 wanted to be an archaeologist but the mud and cold put her off
and happily for us she chose instead to study Art History! She has worked at Christie's,
at the Tate and Tate Modern, and apart from the Art Society, has lectured on many P & O
Cruises. This lecture will be accompanied by her very fine digital presentation.

The cost is £7 on the door for non-members. If you need any further information please
contact our membership Secretary Ann McNorvell newickdfas2017@gmail.com
