Tony Parris, secretary for Burgess Hill District Lions Club, told the Middy: “The sad part of the evening came when the Lion president John Rankin announced under guidelines issued by the government and Lions H.Q that The Book Den in Church Walk will be closed with immediate effect until further notice.

“We hope to be back in action as soon as we are allowed in the meantime please stay safe.”
