Wealden Green Party’s great pre-election, mood-lifting fundraiser takes place on the 20th March, 2010. Of course, we don’t know exactly when the general election is to take place, but we can be certain that the 20th March will be before it.
It’s a date not to be missed! We’re bringing the finest Ceilidh band in East Sussex, Doctor’s Orders, to the Forest Row Village Hall, for an evening of Barn Dancing and lively entertainment. The music and dancing starts at 7:30pm, and finishes several hours later!
We’ll have a cash bar at the venue, a ploughman’s supper is laid on, and there will be a raffle with extraordinary prizes.
Tickets cost just £8 if purchased before 6th March. After that, or on the door, they cost £10. Send an SAE, and a cheque made out to “Wealden Green Party”, to the Wealden Green Party secretary, Colin Stocks, at:
Colin Stocks (Barn Dance),
25A Bracken Close,
Crowborough,
East Sussex.
TN6 2EJ.
Tickets are also available from “Holden Natural Health Shop”, Lewes Road, Forest Row.
Be there or… don’t be at a square dance.
A group of more than seventy Forest Row residents gathered at the northern entrance to the village on Friday (19th September) to launch a petition objecting to the Secretary of State, Hazel Blears’ recent proposal that neighbouring councils “will take the necessary steps to ensure that essential infrastructure is put in place” to support the East Grinstead development of 2500 houses and a relief road. 
Whether or not you think that Forest Row should have a bypass, overcoming the technical challenges would be so expensive that, just as for East Grinstead, the finance could only be raised from a substantial housing and infrastructure development in our village. This, together with other factors, would defeat the object of the exercise.
