Anyone like to give this Fir Tree a Home?

Caroline Pearce would like to know:

‘Can anyone help us find a home for this lovely Fir tree. It has out grown its container and we would like to plant it somewhere so that it can continue to grow and thrive.

Do you have a corner in your garden or field that you would be willing to offer to rehome this splendid tree.’

Please contact Caroline on caz_40@btinternet.com

Horley’s ‘Progressive Drinks Sunday’ is on Feb 2nd

‘Progressive Drinks Sunday’ to start at 12.00 on Sunday Feb 2nd at the Red Lion Pub

‘Back by popular demand, we are delighted that the second Horley Progressive Drinks Sunday event will be run this year on Sunday 2ndFebruary. We do hope you will be able to join us, to start an otherwise unpopular month with a bit of a bash.

We will start at noon at the Red Lion pub, and then over a period of about two hours, we each progress to three different hosts in the village. You will enjoy wine and/or non-alcoholic drinks at each venue, and plenty of nibbles and finger food as well. So, over a period of about two hours, we each eat, drink and laugh with lots of other people – old friends and new.

This isn’t just for couples. Singles come too, and together we beat off any winter blues. The cost? Twelve pounds each. It’s a bargain – and any money we raise helps to fund our village church.

If you want to come, please get in touch: Glenys_Stacey@hotmail.com  or call 01295 738951.’
