Advance Notice of Significant Event in 2020
8 May 2020 is the 75th anniversary of VE day, the day in 1945 when the second world war in Europe finally came to an end. The armed forces charity, SSAFA, are planning activities to mark the occasion, and are encouraging members of the public and community groups to become involved. They have written to Horley Parish Council asking for the Council’s assistance in publicising the event.
SSAFA are asking for church bells to be rung at 7.00pm on Friday the the 8th, and that church services of commemoration be held on Sunday the 10th. In between they encourage communities to celebrate the anniversary through parties and other such community events. If anyone is interested in becoming involved, or organising a community event, they are recommended to visit the SSAFA website set up for this anniversary at www.veday.org.

Horley’s Dame Picks Her Favourite Desert Island Discs
Horley’s very special Dame, Glenys Kyle, (of Rowarth House opposite the church), appeared on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs on Sunday, choosing 8 of her favourite discs and 1 luxury item with which she would chose to be cast away.
It is an illuminating programme, where Glenys (who is publicly known as Dame Glenys Stacey) talks about various experiences of her life from childhood through 40 years of public service, where her last post was as her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Probation.
To listen to Dame Glenys’ castaway interview on BBC Catch up and hear about the work which earned her a damehood (as well as her thwarted dalliance with T Rex!), click here.

Well done to the Ladies Guild who raised £623.75 for the charity Breast Cancer Now in the recent Family Charity Quiz.
A Big Thank You to everyone involved – including the organisation and the generous bidding for the auction prizes.
