• Why do the good men go?

  WHY is it, that we, the electorate, with all the power, allow good men to resign who serve us well and tell the truth; but we allow poor politicians, who are continually lying to us, to keep their trappings of power and everything that goes with it and they don't resign?

  VILLAGERS' SUPPER: The villagers' supper held last Saturday evening in the village hall was another great success, this time drawing a record number of 78 guests. After supper prepared by a team of volunteers working in their own kitchens and brought in, piping hot, dessert and tea and coffee were served. The speaker, Tim Nunn, now serving as a chief inspector of police in Hastings, gave a talk in which he asked his audience to consider whether what we often see as coincidence is, in fact, the hand of God working in our lives. The theme was developed using illustrations from his daily life as a member of the police force. He also warmly commended the idea behind these periodic villagers' suppers saying that they personify the friendliness which he remembers as an essential part of this delightful village. Tim was thanked by Jayne Nicol who, is still actively involved in the youth project. read more
