Reminder – Village Litter Pick this Saturday (2nd March) at 10am

The grass is growing already so we’ve arranged for the annual village litter pick to take place earlier this year, on Saturday 2nd March.

If you can spare half an hour or so to help out, please gather in front of the Old Post Office on the corner of Banbury Lane at 10:00 on 2nd March.  Litter pickers, protective gloves and rubbish and recycling bags will be provided by CDC.  Please wear gloves (your own or those provided by CDC) to protect yourself against any risk of infection, and take care to wash your hands thoroughly after the Litter Pick has been completed.

Let’s keep Horley looking fabulous!

Horley Ladies Guild Quiz a Resounding Success

Thanks to all those who helped make the Horley quiz held on Friday 3rd February such a success. We had a great turnout – in fact, we would not have been able to fit many more into the Old School!

Teams puzzled over crops grown around Horley; beers served in the Red Lion, road sign locations and kitchen cupboard ingredients amongst other things.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped on the night.

The quiz raised £600 to be split between two worthy charities: The Katherine House Hospice and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.

‘Knit and Stitch’ restarts on Thursday 8th Feb

Knit and stitch restarts on Thursday 8th February in the Old School, starting at 7pm.

If you can’t make the 8th we will meet again on the 22nd Feb. We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. We also have a cuppa and a chat if you would like to come just for that.
