Clayton & Keymer Club RBL is reopening in Hassocks!

By Darren Bramley

The Clayton & Keymer Club RBL is pleased to announce reopening after the Pandemic. Situated on Woodsland Road, just round the corner from Keymer Road. The Club offers a warm welcome and very competitive prices on a wide range of drinks.

Presently looking for more members, Club RBL has a new committee who are promoting music, quizzes, snooker and pool along with Friday night bingo. Also looking to restart the Local Branch of the Royal British Legion. The Club RBL are currently offering a special membership deal – ask for details! Member and passionate enthusiast for the Club, Roy Coltherd explained: “When my wife and I first visited the club, we were given such a warm welcome and quickly made friends. Like many businesses, it has been difficult to get the Club back up and running post-Covid, but it’s too unique an organisation for our community to lose. The new committee are working really hard to welcome new and former members back through the doors once again.”

Why not take a moment to put your head round the door and see what is on offer? Members do not have to be former serving armed forces, just like-minded people who enjoy socialising, making friends and taking part in fun events. Further details can be found on our Facebook page, or email: clubrblinfo@mail.com, call 01273 845829 or just pop in!

New ways Hassocks can remember our fallen heroes

By Michelle Binks

There will be an Act of Remembrance at Keymer Church on Wednesday 11th November at 10.50am. Father Alex explains, “this short act of remembrance takes place around the memorial, with some wreath laying and some prayers before we observe the two-minute silence at 11.00am. People don’t need to book because it’s an act of worship and outside.”

Here are other activities that we can do this year to remember our fallen heroes:

• Take a walk to The Chattri, the Hindu monument to their fallen soldiers, located on the South
Downs. Access is from Patcham or Jack & Jill Windmills along the South Downs Way.

• Paint a poppy and display it in your window.

• Bake 11 cupcakes, ice in red and share with your neighbours.

• Paint pebbles with poppies and hide them around Hassocks for others to discover.

• Remember the minute silence at 11am on 11 November.

• Remember to wear your poppy; you can still get them from the many outlets in Hassocks.
