10 Year Anniversary of Horley Bells
It’s 10 years this month since the bells in St Etheldreda’s Church were rung for the first time after a 25 year period of silence. Prior to February 2014, it hadn’t been possible to ring the bells as they had been declared unsafe for ringing due to water damage to the ancient wooden frame.
After a fantastic fundraising effort in 2012 – 2013 led by Mike Patching, the bell frame was restored and two new bells were cast and installed to supplement the original four bells.
We will be ringing the bells to celebrate this 10 year anniversary next Saturday 17th February between 2pm and 4pm.
Listen out – or better still, come and along and see the bells being rung. We have put a camera in the bell chamber so you will be able to see the bells in action as well as the ringers !
Cinema Club on Friday 16th February – Oppenheimer

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.
