I first met Robin in 1999 when he responded to my letter to the local
paper regarding the uncertain future of the allotments.
He subsequently rented an allotment for his family and gave me
considerable support in raising the profile of the allotments, and assisted
with a project to restore them. As a
result of this, an environmental award was won.
Robin’s willingness to become actively involved
in the local community led to
my nominating
him for membership of the Parish Council. I’m glad I did. He has
been a real asset.
Robin has given a great deal of time and effort and shown a lot of
commitment to the Parish Council over the past 8 years. As Chairman of the Parish Council for
several years he has guided us through some challenging times with difficult
decisions to make. Thank-you Robin from all
of us. We wish you and your family
every success in your new home. Helen

Park Mead School infants have begun their swimming lessons and some of
the juniors are getting in some extra swimming practice ready for the Hailsham
gala. The junior classes were joined by two American trainee teachers for the
last eight weeks and Class 3 have been studying the Egyptians whilst Native
Americans have been the focus for Class 4. The Infants really enjoyed their
topic work on toys, past and present, and many bought in some antique items to
show. The school came second in a tennis festival and the whole school found a
drama production of ‘Henry’s Wobbly Tooth’ very engaging, but also very
informative: dental hygiene has never been so much fun!
