And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by
handfuls.
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were
in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food
of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the
same. Genesis 41:47-48
Harvest is our time of giving thanks for all God’s blessings on our crops over this ‘summer’
season. It is also a time to think about planning what we want to see grow in the years to
come.
This year has been more difficult than usual, and although you will always hear farmers say
that, whether it has been a good year or not, this year has been particularly challenging.
The torrential rain and heavy winds right at the start of the growing season saw early
blossoms decimated with orchards and vineyards losing up to 70% of their potential crops.
Unsettled weather, moisture and humidity without the full sunshine saw blight hit many
other crops.
Add to this the complexities of material shortages and working in isolation and this year,
most farmers would be fully justified in having a grumble.
In times gone by when everything depended on the local Harvest, giving thanks for the
Harvest was vital. A failed local harvest meant starvation, so asking for God’s blessing and
saying thank you for God’s provision at various points of the year was seen as important.
We still depend on farming today for our food, but can draw on harvest from all over the
country and beyond. It can be easy to feel disconnected from where our food comes from.
Which makes this a perfect opportunity to pray for our farmers and faming communities who
are at the mercy of the weather.
One of the positives is that the pandemic has reminded us that farmers are key workers
and need our support.
This is also a good time to ask God’s blessing on our friends and neighbours, many of
whom have been hit hard by recent events.
Walking around our villages and praying at various points is a positive way of supporting
our communities. As we emerge from the pandemic what better way to celebrate than going
for a walk together. Giving thanks to God for the countryside and green spaces that have
helped us so much during these past months?
Harvest isn’t just about a successful ‘gathering in’ but also celebrating good stewardship –
the planning, preparing, sowing and caring for the crops and land provide a solid foundation
for the future.
Good stewardship is vital to the growth of the crops and the success of the farm. It is
therefore a good time to reflect on our own stewardship growing sowing and growing as a
church.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has walked with us over the
last year, those of faith and those who see that the work of our churches can make a
difference. By your giving over theses difficult times, and through your generosity, we
have been meet the needs of our communities and are able to plan for a successful
harvest in years to come for St Peter’s and St Mary’s.
Without your occasional and regular giving we would not be able to carry out the pastoral
and missional work which has been at the heart of our parishes throughout the pandemic.
There is no question that coming out of the pandemic things are going to be tough for our
rural churches, resources are depleted and clergy and lay minister’s are thinly dispersed,
and I would particularly like to thank Fr Martin Morgan for all his help and support over
the last few years at St Peter’s and St Mary’s.
If you are able to review your giving in any way this Harvestide it would really help us to
plan for the future and secure the work we have been begun, in caring for those who are
most in need and by keeping our church doors open.
One of the great stewards of the Bible is Joseph, mostly remembered for his amazing
coat and prophetic dreams, his incredible leadership and stewardship are regularly
overlooked.
If you read Genesis 41:46-57; 47:13-26 not only will you realise that it is the foreigner in
the land who saves the people, but also that his good stewardship has a wider impact
upon the whole world, two lessons we could all do with being reminded of now and again.
Genesis 41:57 tells that when the seven years of good harvests came, Joseph developed
a stockpiling system to store the grain for use during the coming drought. When the seven
years of drought arrived, “Joseph opened the storehouses” and provided enough food
to bring the nation through the famine. His wise strategy and effective implementation
of the plan even allowed Egypt to supply grain to the rest of the world during the famine
This year our Harvest services are at St Mary’s Newick on 3rd October and St Peter’s
Chailey on the 10th October, both will be followed with a Harvest lunch and we would
love for you to join us in fellowship and thanksgiving.
Harvest provides us with the opportunity to praise the Creator God, give thanks for our
food and those who produce it; to pray a blessing on the communities in which we live
and share together.
Let us celebrate however we can, in thankfulness for all we have been given.
Don’t forget Alpha Course every Thursday evening at St Peter’s Church 7pm all are
welcome
If you are considering Confirmation our service at St Mary’s with Bishop Ruth will be on
Sunday 28th November and I would love to speak to you about being confirmed, so give
me call anytime 01825 723186.
Have a great month enjoy the changing seasons, take a friend for a walk and keep in
touch.
Every Blessing Paul

Important Announcement!! Pastoral Distress Fund
We have found that a number of Chailey families are struggling, and more recently
Newick have been helping them. St Peter’s church has now set up a specific fund to
help those families If you feel you can contribute, however little, it would be very
much appreciated.
This fund is ongoing and donations can be made at anytime to the treasurer or directly to
the bank. (Chailey PCC, Sort Code 09-01-55 Account 06923088 Please state ‘Pastoral
Care Fund’)
Friends Of Chailey Windmill
A few months ago we reported that ITV was visiting the Bluebell Railway and Chailey
Windmill for a re-make of the 1990's 'Darling Buds of May'. We have had numerous
requests asking us to let everyone know when this would be broadcast and have now
been told that the series of six programmes, to be called 'The Larkins', will be on ITV in
October.
The part originally played by David Jason now has Bradley Walsh in the leading role.
The production is centred on the Bluebell Railway, in particular Horsted Keynes with
its station renamed Littlechurch. Pa Larkin and his family are leading a campaign to
prevent the closure of the station. The Windmill comes in when children are taken on an
outing there and the Mill is transported from North Chailey to Kingscote by the power of
a computer generated image.
The Mill and Rural Life Museum are now closed until April 2022.

Organ Recital
We may expect a real musical treat on Sunday October 9th. Lieut. W.E. Kemp R.E. is
coming to us again and will take the solo parts in the rectal. Those who heard him on
the last occasion will not forget the striking rendering of the music he sang. We are also
sure that Mr. Sargeant will provide us with a very attractive programme of sacred music.
The Recital will commence at 3 p.m. at the Parish Church. The proceeds after paying
expenses will be handed to the General Expenses account.
Report from the Chailey Women's Institute: The recent Fete at Bineham raised £69
2s. with the Produce Stall making £9 15s 3d, the Tea Stalls £9 17s 6d, Fish Pond £1
9s 9d, Sports and Dancing etc £6 11 5d, Entrance Gate; £12 19s, Sweet Stall £6 9s
2d, and various others making up the grand sum. Many thanks to all who helped and
contributed.
Note: £70 would now be roughly equivalent to £3,500!

Got Questions about Life?
What is Alpha? The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian
faith. It’s relaxed, low key, friendly and fun. Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And
ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. And it’s
supported by all the main Christian denominations.
Our next Alpha Course starts on Thursday 30th September 2021 7pm at St Peter’s
Church, Chailey. Supper included
What’s involved? The Alpha course looks at a series of topics. After a short presentation,
we divide into small groups for a time of informal discussion. Alpha will be running on
Thursday nights from 7 – 9pm for 10 weeks, beginning Thursday 30th September 2021.
You don’t have to come to the whole course – just pop along for the first night and see
what you think.
What will it cost? The course is absolutely free. If you'd like to, you can make a small
voluntary contribution towards dinner on the evening.
Okay, I'm interested...what next? To pre-register, email us. Alternatively you can just
come along on the night. We look forward to meeting you.

Maria Caulfield MP
I am pleased to see that East Sussex County Council are currently running a consultation
on their Bus Service Improvement Plan as part of the Government’s £3 billion ‘Bus Back
Better’ scheme which launched in March 2021. The National Bus Strategy aims to get
more people travelling by bus, making these buses a practical and attractive alternative
to private cars.
We know locally that being in such a rural part of the country that often bus routes are
not commercially viable and need significant subsidies to survive. It’s why we are so
dependent on community bus routes provided by groups such as Cuckmere Buses and
CTLA.
The Governments’ Bus Back Better strategy wants bus services to be faster, more
reliable, and more frequent and recognises that to make bus routes viable they have
to address the needs of the community but also may need subsidies to succeed. With
the East Sussex County Council consultation, it is imperative that the public’s views are
heard regarding the proposals. Increasing bus travel may also play an important part in
the Covid-19 recovery as bus travel has held up more strongly than rail services. Bus
services are also central to the Government’s ‘levelling up’ plan, which I know will bring
benefits to people across the Country.
In addition, I welcome this Improvement Plan as it will play an integral part in achieving
the Government’s ambitious net zero target by 2050. The introduction of 4000 battery
or hydrogen powered zero-emission buses, provided by £120 million in government
funding, will play a key role in the road to the decarbonisation of transport. Each zero-
emission bus saves around 46 tonnes of CO2 and can take 75 cars off the road, making
a clear contribution towards tackling climate change.
Efforts are already underway locally to build an environmentally friendly transport
network, with a hydrogen hub planned in Newhaven being funded by the Government
through the Town Deal Fund. Work is ongoing with Brighton & Hove buses which has
created an innovative and green fleet that has led to the highest bus use per head
in England outside of London. I am keen that we improve our bus services locally to
connect up our towns and villages and that a more reliable service will be possible.

Chailey Commons Society
As Summer turned to Autumn it brought with it the brown and gold hues that lovers of
Autumn look forward to. The bracken has collapsed again, and the spaces and tracks
have opened once more. The cattle which had started grazing on Red House Common
have been spreading themselves across the three lower commons and the four Exmoor
ponies have Red House Common to themselves again. Grazing is an important part
of the management of the heathland and natural trimming of the birch and bramble for
example can effectively control their spreading.
During the summer, the Society held some events for younger people, and these included
a ‘Young Ecologist’ session and our popular Bug Hunt. Despite the cooler and showery
weather at the time, we recorded a good range of insects and butterflies such as the
Small White, Meadow Brown, Gate Keeper, Small Copper, Small and Large Skipper,
Brimstone and Ringlet. The most popular insects seemed to be the Grasshoppers and
Crickets that the young eyes keenly spotted together with several other smaller species.
Our Late Summer Walk was well attended, and we all enjoyed the lovely display of the
widespread pale heather, Calluna vulgaris, known as Ling and the darker Erica cinerea,
the bell heather. The third heather Erica tetralix, the Cross leaved heath, flowers earlier
in the wetter areas of the heathland. JoJo Way introduced us to surveys and quadrats
and included a practical session looking at the plants and flying insects.
Thank you if you have been walking your dog and picking up any droppings to the bins
provided. This does mean that the commons are a more pleasant and cleaner place to
walk. We have been regularly cleaning the drinking troughs as well and ask that they are
keep clean for the animals only to drink from.
Our activities continue in October with an indoor meeting on Thursday October 14th at
7.30.p.m. in the Chailey Village Hall near the Five Bells pub with a Talk on Butterflies of
Sussex by Ian Seccombe. Those of you who have seen Ian’s pictures of these amazing
creatures will know that we are in for a treat. We shall still be observing any current
regulations for space and cleaning requirements, but it will be great to meet in person
once again.

10Chailey Horticultual Society
The society had a very enjoyable afternoon putting on an exhibition of local horticultural
and artistic talent. The weather was kind but sadly only a few people came to admire the
talent that lies within the community. Hopefully next year will be better for us all.
Our next event is the A.G.M. held in the Reading Room at 8pm on Thursday 14th
October. Everyone is welcome especially anybody who would like to join the committee.
We do need some new and perhaps younger committee members! Refreshments will
be provided.
Autumn is now well established with shortening days and falling temperatures. However
there is still a lot to in those ever dwindling hours of daylight.
As the summer crops grown in the greenhouse and poly tunnel come to an end it is
a good opportunity to give everything a quick clean and refresh the beds with a good
helping of compost.
For some reason over wintering crops seem to do better in the poly tunnel rather than the
greenhouse . I plant a few garlic and over wintering onions to give an early harvest next
year. Winter hardy lettuce will do well and a sowing of The Sutton broad bean will give
an early harvest. If well spaced there will be room to plant tomatoes next April or May.
Outside plant overwintering beans and peas in late October or early November. Super
Aquadulce is the hardiest outside bean but can grow quite tall in the spring. The Sutton
is a dwarf variety that over winters well but does benefit from some protection in the
coldest weather. The same applies to peas sown at this time such as Meteor and Douce
Provence. Beware slugs and birds.
Sprout plants may be in need of support as autumn gales approach. Again protect them
and other brassicas from the birds.
Overwintering onions, garlic and shallots will be showing a lot of growth but as the
temperature drops growth slows though the cold weather is essential for good bulb
production in garlic.
Now is a good time to plant daffodil and narcissi bulbs where a display is required next
spring. Plant at the same depth as the size of the bulb.
Orchids such as cymbidium should be brought in to a light warm frost free space and
flower spikes should start to appear around Christmas.
Finish cutting hedges and pruning shrubs.
Collect leaves as they fall but try and leave some piles in odd corners of the garden as
a haven for wild life. They can be composted but do it loosely and add old newspapers
and cardboard to prevent it becoming too compacted and soggy.
Don’t be tempted to dig parsnips until there has been a frost as this will aid the conversion
11of starch to sugars and improve the sweetness and flavour. The same goes for Brussel
sprouts.
If having bonfires of garden waste always ensure that no hedgehog has taken up
residence!
Now sit back and enjoy the autumn colours and the first fires of winter. Christmas will
soon be upon us.
Good gardening

CHAILEY NEWS OCTOBER 2021-09-15
CONTINUED REQUEST FOR MILL LANE –
GRADWELL END – MILL BROOKS – SOUTH
CHAILEY
It has taken me years of persistence to have our review firmly included in November
and I apologise for reporting back on so many occasions. I feel strongly that my formal
request, on behalf of our community must be honoured. I would urge local residents
to put forward their views on the current traffic and parking issues as part of the public
consultation.
There are hundreds of communities throughout the county of Sussex asking for a review
consideration. The last correspondence I had from the Assistant Director Operations
was on 29th July 2021 and he writes: ‘…..we are happy to include it for consideration
when the next review begins in November’.
I have also been asked to include a review of the dropped kerb A275/Mill Lane which is
very awkward for wheelchairs – this I have done.
OVERGROWN PATHWAYS – SOUTH CHAILEY
Thank you to residents who have brought to my attention the overgrown pathways and
overhanging branches. It would be helpful of the Brickworks could cut back their hedges
and, I have asked the East Sussex County Steward to pay a visit and help clear the
actual pathways. Young and old use these pathways – whether they are fit and able or
frail or disabled.
FLY INFESTATION - CONTINUED
Since I wrote in September, this problem persists here in North Chailey and other vil-
lages. I apologise to those I have not written to as I was away in August and am work-
ing through a great many emails and messages. Just before I went away, I scrambled
through the wooded area on the corner of the A275 East Grinstead Road where, some
years ago, the sewer broke and produced lakes of human waste. I checked this and
nothing was amiss and gave this report and photographs to the Environmental Health
Senior Officer at Lewes District Council. Our MP, the Environmental Agency, Southern
Water. Lewes District, as well our East Sussex County Councillor is trying hard to find the
source/sources/evidence of these infestations. It’s very unpleasan for those of us who
cannot open our windows or doors.

12Chailey Cricket Club
This season has proven to be a very good one, not just by way of the results but our
matches have been played with enjoyment, fun and in a friendly Sunday manner.
Furthermore, apart from a couple of matches, we have been able to field full and
competitive teams which has made the season even more enjoyable. That is not to say
more players will not be welcome. New additions to our playing numbers will be very
welcome. Please pop along next season and join in the spirit of Chailey cricket.
15 August v Jevington CC – Chailey won by 5 wickets
- Jevington CC 153 all out
Wickets for Peter Dembrey 2 for 3; James Brooklyn 2 for 25; David Dembrey 2 for 27;
Marc Sellis 2 for 49 and Josh Coppard 1 for 12
- Chailey CC 154 for 4
James Brooklyn 53 not out; Josh Coppard 28 not out; Neeraj Bharwani 28 and Mal

22 August v Streat & Westmeston CC – Chailey won by 3 wickets
- Streat & Westmeston CC 146 all out
Main wicket takers Gopi Chandramouli 5 for 15; David Dembrey 2 for 39
- Chailey CC
Rajesh R 57 (retired not out); James Brooklyn 22 not out and Peter Dembrey 18.
29 August v W G Gracefully CC – WG won by 106 runs
Sadly, because of holidays and unavailability of most of our player, we were unable to
field a full team. So, searching the internet we manage to find a club in similar dilemma:
Yellow Stump CC. We joined with them in a game that was not necessarily in the spirit of
Sunday cricket, but at least we had a game, albeit with 9 players.
WG batted first and in their 40 overs compiled 287 for 7!
In reply the joint team managed a respectable 181 which was mainly due Marc Sellis
(Chailey) who scored 66 and 39 extras! Those extras were swelled by a 15 ball over from
one of the WG bowlers.
5 September – sadly our opposition withdrew too late for us to arrange an emergency
fixture.
12 September v Felbridge & Sunnyside CC – Chailey won by 68 runs
Back to normal with a full Chailey XI in a 40 over game
- Chailey CC 216 for 6 (inns closed)
Zakir Siddiqui 92; Peter Dembrey 32; Marc Sellis 26 and Chris McKinnon 25 not out (his
top score for Chailey).
13- Felbridge & Sunnyside CC 151 for 8 (inns closed)
David Dembrey 3 for 35; Pramendra Shekwarat 2 for 19 and 1 each for 3 other bowlers.
Mal Harding 2 stumpings
Finally for this month we were sad to hear of the passing of Margaret Clarkson, wife of a
late stalwart Chailey cricketer: Roy. For a long time, when our ground was at Row Heath,
Margaret was one of our regular ‘tea ladies’. Thank you, Margaret, and although a little
late, sincere condolences to Carol, Michael and families.

Chailey Parish Council
After a very short summer break, Chailey Parish Council have now resumed their parish
council meetings which are currently being held at St Peter’s Church, Chailey Green,
starting at 7.30pm. Planning & Environment meetings take place on the first Tuesday of
the month. Full Council meetings take place on the third Tuesday of the month. However,
please note that the Full Council meeting in October will be held on Wednesday 20th
October.
Anyone is welcome to attend, but it would be very helpful if you could inform the Clerk
of your attendance prior to the meeting. Please contact on 01825 722388 or email at
chaileypc@btconnect.com
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 5th October in the Village
Hall, beginning for this month only at 7.15 pm instead of the usual
7.30 pm This is so that we can have a super-quick AGM, as we
are obliged to do in October, before our speaker and the start of
the meeting. We will be hearing about ''Lancing College and its
Local History' from Dr Janet Pennington, who will be our first speaker since March 2020.
September saw our first meeting in the Hall and we all enjoyed seeing friends we had
not met up with properly for a long time. We were also delighted to welcome some new
members. In September the outing to Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens, with a Flower
Festival too, took place fortunately just at the end of the mini heat wave so we were able
to enjoy the gardens in comfort.
We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30 pm in the Village Hall, when we are
always very pleased to welcome prospective members and guests.

October 13th 2.30 in the Civic Centre Uckfield.
‘Never Mind Quantitative Easing. Show us the Bling. Bank of England Art Works.’
Certainly the longest title I have ever seen for a lecture! However Tim Kidd who worked
for over 30 years at the Bank so is more than qualified to speak on the subject. The Bank
was established in 1694 and over the years has accumulated many wonderful works
of Arts. However it has been slightly controversial of late with several portraits being
removed as being considered associated with the slave trade.
Tim Kidd is a blue badge guide and we are very happy that, having had to cancel last year
due to Covid he is now able to visit us. Please note that we will also be holding, at last,
our AGM before the lecture at 2.00. Please wait outside if you are late for registering.
We are at the moment looking for new Committee Members, especially the Membership
Secretary and Hon. Secretary, but also general members who are just happy to join in.
If there is anyone out there who think they could help please let me know. We are a
lively, but fairly small group, so the work is not too hard and always full of interest.
We look forward to welcoming you. Members do not need to book and the Civic Centre
is run strictly to government regulations.
