Cuckfield

Celebrated author, Ros Black, will be talking on a forgotten aspect of social history, introducing us to Lady Henry Somerset and to Duxhurst, her farm colony for inebriate women, situated just north of where Gatwick now lies. Ros will be selling copies of her book “Scandal, Salvation and Suffrage – the Amazing Women of the Temperance Movement” and it promises to be a fascinating evening. To book a place, please ring Mike Nicholson on 01444 457448 or email: [email protected] Admission £5, Members £3.

New England Wood: Following the recent wet and windy weather the wood is now accessible (with care). Please keep to the footpaths and enjoy the bluebells and other wild flowers that are beginning to bloom.
