September 2026 - A welcome to Autumn
Goodbye to a beautiful but hot and dry summer, and hello to autumn and hopefully some cooler weather. We have certainly welcomed the rain to green up the countryside and our gardens again.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our Jumble Sale in March where we raised £500
towards hall funds. Our Summer Fair was a great success with a different feel this year, with local brewers, vineyard wines and artisan craft stalls. The children’s activities were a great success. It was a shame the live band had to call off sick — better luck next year!
We raised almost £1,000 profit towards the running of the hall. Thank you to everyone who came and supported us. Volunteers to support this event are always welcome and very much needed.
Hall Improvements
We have recently had WiFi fitted, improving the facilities for all hall users, along with the patio being re-laid and the guttering repaired. We have also gratefully had agreed a £500 donation by the Parish Council towards some new high-tech CCTV cameras to try and prevent further broken windows and unfortunate car park damage. Thank you to the Parish Council and Cllr David Thomas for their support
Bonfire and Fireworks
Saturday 31st October at 6.30pm.
A family event with bar, BBQ and other refreshments along with the children's parade, bonfire and of course our amazing, sponsored fireworks! We are also having a pumpkin and scarecrow competition which are open to all children. Entry is by donation, cash appreciated. Help at the event would also be appreciated from willing villagers. Any help welcome to lift the turfs on Friday 30th October from 4pm, to build the bonfire, Saturday 2pm, and clean up and relay the turfs on Sunday at 11am. No volunteers means no bonfire!
Coffee Mornings
Our much‑loved Coffee Mornings continue as usual, running every fortnight on Fridays at 10:30 AM, from Friday 6th February…...

Country Lunches
Country Lunches were started nearly 30 years ago by Ann Kenward, the Vicar’s wife from All Saints, Old Heathfield, and continues today. They meet on alternate Wednesdays at 12 noon at Punnetts Town Village Hall. Their teams of volunteers provide a two course home-cooked lunch, followed by tea or coffee for £5. Good company and a friendly welcome guaranteed and new clients are very welcome. To book call Annabel Williams: 07808 000615 or Julie Langdon: 01435 863690.
For those without their own transport, Age Concern Heathfield run fully accessible buses to the lunches and currently there are some spaces available. A donation of £4 is suggested to help cover costs.
County Lunches are also looking for new volunteers to help with running the lunches. Duties include preparing and cooking food, serving the clients and clearing away. For more information, please contact Annabel or Julie.
