A Note from St Peter’s
We had the longest day, the Summer Solstice, on Friday
21st June. Mr Google tells me that the word “solstice”
comes from Latin solstitium—from sol (Sun) and stitium
(standing), reflecting the fact that on the solstice, the Sun
appears to stop moving in the sky as it reaches its highest point. After the solstice, the
Sun appears to reverse course and head back in the opposite direction. As you read this,
the nights have already started to draw in, albeit imperceptibly at the moment. Now, the
church is in the period following ‘Trinity’ Sunday and in the northern hemisphere, Trinity
coincides with summer.
The Sunday after Pentecost / Whitsun is called Trinity Sunday, which this year was
June 9th. This day is notable for being the only major Christian festival that celebrates
a doctrine of the church rather than an actual event in its history. It is dedicated to the
Christian belief in the Trinity: that God is one God, but three coeternal, consubstantial
persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I found a useful illustration to help, in a very small
way, to explain the ‘mystery’ of the Trinity: think of a musical chord, the C-chord. The C,
E, and G notes are all distinct notes, but joined together as one chord. The sound is
much richer and more dynamic than had the notes been played individually. The notes
are all equally important in producing the rich sound, and the sound is lacking if one of
the notes is left out.
Interestingly, Midsummer's Day falls on 24 June, after the longest day. This discrepancy is
said to have been caused by the variations between the Julian calendar and the Tropical
Year, and then further confused by the Gregorian calendar. The Christian church’s
calendar, excluding Easter, revolves around the two solstices, winter and summer. The
winter one is obviously Christmas. Then, because John the Baptist, Christ’s cousin, was
born six months earlier than Jesus, the feast of the birth of St John was established by
early Christians as 24th June, and is celebrated with great revelry in many parts of the
world.
As far as the St Peter’s social calendar is concerned, we at St Peter’s must acknowledge
the help of a large and valiant group of Geo-Cachers, who came along one Saturday in
June to help members of the church to clear the car park and churchyard of weeds and
overgrowth and carry out a general, and much-needed, tidy-up! What a transformation in
just over two hours - and a lot of fun, and tea and cake, was had whilst doing it. Thanks
to everyone, church folk and Geo-cachers alike, who helped in any way that morning.
Future dates for your calendar include a Barn Dance, with Ploughman’s Supper, at the
village hall on Saturday 19th October, when we will be ably led by the well-known local
band, ‘Square The Circle’. And don’t worry if you are on your own, or think you have
two left feet!
We are also holding a Christmas Fair on Saturday November 30th, where you will be
able to find all those little gifts for the people who are so difficult to buy for!
Please look out for details of these and other events at St Peter’s on our website. We
look forward to seeing you.
With all best wishes,
Christine Peskett - Churchwarden

One Hundred Years Ago
The Parish Leaflet for July 1919
Boy Scouts
A most interesting and impressive little ceremony took place at Bineham on Saturday
afternoon by the kind invitation of Mr Blencowe, the occasion being the presentation
of new colours to the Chailey troop of Boy Scouts who were drawn up in horseshoe
formation. The colours which were the gift of Miss A Margesson, the Scout Master,
were dedicated with a special form of service by the Rector and then delivered into the
custody of the Patrol Leader. By special command of the Chief Scout Sir Robert Baden
Powell, Lord Monkbretton then presented the medal of merit to Miss Margesson amid
much cheering in recognition of her indefatigable work during the last two and a half
years. William Attrell won the Challenge Cup for the best rifle shot and for him and for
Mr Blencowe hearty cheers were given at the conclusion of tea.
2nd Chailey Scouts meet every Thursday night during term time in the School Hall at
Chailey Heritage. The group is run by a number of volunteer leaders who are supported
by an executive committee

Chailey Commons Society
Sometimes it’s the small things which escape our attention. Walking on the commons
can reveal the lesser species which are there, including tiny flowers and beetles. One
such beetle is the Minotaur Beetle, typhaeus typhoeus, Despite appearances as a fierce
looking black tough insect, it is a gentle, dung-munching giant. Growing up to 2cm long –
whilst that may sound short, it’s pretty big for a beetle – this is one of the more striking of
Britain’s beetles. In an endearing echo of rabbits, the Minotaur beetle’s chief supplier of
food, each beetle digs a nest burrow. These are often elaborately divided into chambers.
In each chamber a ball of rabbit’s dung and a single egg is deposited, and the young
Minotaur beetle larvae lead a sheltered underground existence, feasting on their handy
ready meals, before maturing and surfacing.
Something more pleasant to look at, but often missed, is a tiny parasitic plant called
Dodder, Cuscuta europaea, which can be found mainly on the heathland heather. This
plant is a rootless parasite which, upon germination, attaches to a primary host. Looking
a lot like pink or yellow cotton with tiny flowers in its midst it is difficult to spot but worth
a look.
Now that summer is here, the commons are showing the usual stands of Bracken,
Pteridium aquilinum, which has a perennial black rootstock that creeps extensively
underground and at intervals sends up fronds. It’s considered to be among the world’s
worst weeds and is an aggressive coloniser of open ground and is listed as an invasive
species in some places. Scraping, crushing and mowing on the commons has done
much to check its progress.
For July, we shall be holding a summer butterfly walk, meeting at Pound Common car
park, on Saturday July 20th at 2.00p.m. when we will walk around this common, hoping
to see a wide range of butterflies. During our walk we can also look for the Minotaur
beetle and Dodder to add to our sightings.

The Rob & Ann Bequest
Controls £50,000 which yields £2,000 p.a, to help young Chailey villagers start their
working lives, tools, equipment, special clothing, vocational subs, etc and at Xmas
the old, infirm and lonely. Applications should be made in July to Chailey School or
the Trustees, Peter Estcourt, John Smith, Pauline Floyd, or the Rob & Ann Bequest at
Bineham Garden, North Chailey BN8 4DD, in writing giving reasons for support.
In 2018 we gave £350 to a Chailey mother, whose son won a scholarship to Lewes GS.
It is now set up on a more formal basis for posterity with hopefully more applications.
Best wishes, Rob & Ann
7Maria Caulfield MP
Visiting local schools across Lewes, it is clear climate change is the topic students most want
to talk about. Climate change is a challenge we face not just as a country but globally. The
risks of severe flooding, of heatwaves, the spread of diseases, the loss of precious wildlife
and coral reefs, of poor air quality here in the UK and those ever-rising sea levels across the
world is incredibly worrying.
The UK is playing a leading role in reducing carbon emissions. Since 1990, the UK has cut
emissions by more than 40 per cent while growing the economy by more than two thirds, the
best performance on a per person basis than any other G7 nation. Britain is firmly on track
to meet the 2050 target to reduce emissions of all greenhouse gases by 80 per cent. Today
nearly 50% of our electricity is generated by renewables when nine years ago it was only
5%. The UK’s CO2 emissions fell 2 % last year to 364 million tonnes, the lowest since 1888.
That said globally emissions are increasing as China the US and India have seen theirs rise
and we are doing all we can to work with them, so they have reduction programmes in place.
Locally we now have the Rampion offshore wind farm which is based in Newhaven which
is now producing electricity for over 350,000 homes and as your local MP I am working with
local groups such as Ovesco to increase the supply of electricity from renewable sources
and I am sponsoring a bill in Parliament to prevent fracking in the UK so that we do not move
towards increasing energy sources which will increase CO2 emissions.
We can all do our bit to reduce our carbon footprint from walking to school, instead of taking
the car, to reducing the amount of crude oil-based products made from plastics. There is lots
happening locally with the groups such as Plastic Fee Lewes and Refill Seaford all doing
their bit.
That said, I do recognise that more needs to be done, which is why Ministers have asked
the Committee on Climate Change for advice on a net zero emissions target. As politicians
we need to make it as easy as possible for people to make the right choices and I hope we
can offer incentives to change behaviour rather than penalties for not doing so. Our young
people want us to act now and we must listen.
Maria Caulfield
The next meeting on 2nd July is our annual Members' meeting which
gives the Committee a night off and a surprise as the programme is
arranged by the members.
In June we were entertained by Ann Chance OBE who gave an
amusing, and at time hilarious, account of how she became a pilot at
the advanced age of 54. Her love of flying began when she took part in a sponsored charity
parachute jump; she enjoyed it so much she then decided to take some flying lessons. All
the other students at Biggin Hill were young boys and she came in for a lot of teasing and
practical jokes. We heard how intensive the training is for pilots (we were relieved to hear
this) and how Ann progressed to her first solo flight.
We have submitted several entries to the South of England Show at Ardingly but at the time
of going to press we do not know how we got on. What we do know, however, is that our star
Flower Arranging member has achieved yet another Gold Medal at Chelsea for her entry.
Congratulations Wendy we are very proud of you.
We meet at the Village Hall on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30 pm. We are always
glad to welcome prospective members and guests who can enjoy hearing our speaker and
having some delicious home made refreshments for the nominal charge of £3. We should
just add that in August we have an outside meeting so don't go to the Village Hall then!

8Friends Of Chailey Windmill
In May the Mill was opened for an extra day on 12th May for the annual National Mills Day.
Once again we were very pleased to have the Dowland Radio Group there on the Saturday
and Sunday to contact their fellow radio enthusiasts. Here is an account by Gavin Keegan
who with some of his friends spent a good proportion of the weekend at the Mill.
Mills Weekend May 11th & 12th 2019
Once again the Downland Radio Group operated an amateur radio station from Chailey
Heritage Windmill and took part in the 'Mills on the Air' event as part of the Mills weekend.
Unfortunately propagation conditions in the short wave radio bands are currently badly
affected by the low sunspot count but, nonetheless, we were able to make some useful and
interesting contacts with amateur radio stations throughout Europe, including eleven other
Mills stations, most notably - St Jacut Les Pins windmill and Van Tienhoven mill in Holland,
and the mill of Bellabeg in Scotland.
The Downland Group is very grateful to be allowed to operate our radio station from the
historic Chailey Heritage windmill, using our special event call sign - GBO CHW (Chailey
Heritage Windmill) and we look forward to the Mills Weekend in May 2020 and very much
hope that we may be allowed to run a radio station from Chailey Heritage Windmill then.
Gavin Keegan The Downland Radio Group
The Mill and Rural Life Museum is open on the last Sunday of each month from April until
September, 3-5 pm with a charge of £1 for adults and 50p for children 10-16. The next
opening will be on Sunday 28th July.

A real Buzz at June’s Chailey Repair Café!
Another cracking day at the Repair Café on 8th June with
more than 80 visitors, and 62 repairs being attempted.
We had visitors from all over East and West Sussex and one of the highlights of the day was
getting Buzz Lightyear and his mates to start talking again - videos will be posted on our
Facebook page soon!
One of us also ended up repairing a blocked hoover by taking the hose outside and blowing
through it the wrong way. It worked, but it may take the blower (me!) a while to recover!! I
am hoping I can pay out large amounts of money for that NOT to be posted on Facebook!!!
Then we repaired a toaster by removing a large deceased bumble bee from inside it! The
toaster is now fine, which is more than can be said for the bumble bee, who sadly has lost
his buzz ......!!
As always - thanks to all of you who are supporting us. See you on 13th July and of course
our big event on 10th August when we celebrate our 1st birthday!!
Chailey Repair Café is part of a world-wide movement where volunteer experts repair things
free of charge – although a donation towards running costs is invited. Anyone can bring
along broken items or clothing needing repair from home, and have a cuppa and some cake
while they wait!
Chailey Repair Café next opens at Chailey Village Hall (next to the Five Bells Pub)
10am – 1pm on Saturday 13th July and then on the second Saturday of each month.
Want to know more? Contact us at chaileyrc@gmail.com or find us on Facebook.

9Chailey Horticultural Society
Please remember our summer Show on Saturday 20th July at 2.30 in the village hall.
Schedules and entry forms are available at the Five Bells, the Chailey Surgery and from
me.
July is a month of super abundance. Early potatoes are dug and I use the space freed
up to plant leek seedlings. This is somewhat later than usually recommended but I don’t
need leeks until at least November and the slightly later planting ensures that they are
not too big and tough and will last well into the spring.
Keep picking and watering French beans, runner beans and courgettes to ensure
continued cropping.
Most strawberries will be coming to an end and while they are cropping it is wise to
remove the runners though now is the time to look ahead to new plants. Most plants
last about three years and then need replacing. If like me you have totally forgotten the
varieties you are growing just choose runners from the best croppers and try and take
runners from varieties that crop at slightly different times. Peg in the runner to encourage
rooting and limit it to two or three per plant and one plant per runner.
As summer raspberries finish cropping cut down the fruiting cane and tie the best of the
new growing canes.
Stop pulling rhubarb in mid July. Some varieties say you can crop until the autumn but
care must be taken not to weaken the crown and spoil next years growth.
From late July keep a look out for tomato and potato blight. Warm humid conditions
especially over night are danger signs. It is an airborne infection and can only infect wet
leaves so always water tomatoes at the base. Brown patches appear on leaves and can
rapidly spread to the stem and fruit . There is at present no chemical control though there
are blight resistant varieties of both potatoes and tomatoes. Remove infected leaves and
ensure good air flow. If severely infected pick the fruit and cut down the above ground
growth and leave for a couple of weeks before harvesting to avoid infecting the tubers.
There is a website called Blight Watch which will indicate when conditions are right for
infection in your area.
Plant winter brassicas and a late sowing of chard will ensure a steady supply through the
winter and into the spring.
Please remember the summer show.
Good Gardening

Chailey Cricket Club
At the time of writing the first three matches had been completed….all lost under the
modern trend of limited overs. In years past two of these games would have resulted in
draws, but now it seems we must have to have a winner! Success or not the real winner
in all games so far has been cricket. A runfest by our standards -1273 in just three
matches.
• Chailey CC 195 for 3 (innings closed) - Peter Dembrey 94 and Marc Sellis
41no
Waldron CC 201 for 4 – Dan Hurkett 2 for 20; David Dembrey 2 catches
10• East Dean & Friston CC 259 for 6 [40 overs]
Chailey CC 200 for 8 [40 overs] – Dominic Heater 82, Mal Harding 35, Marc
Sellis 24 Ryan Packham 21
• Buxted Park CC 248 for 2 dec [39 overs]
Chailey CC 70 all out
July fixtures: just two games - 14 July away against Southwick Wanderers and 21 July
at home against Brighton St Peters. Both games commence at 2 pm.
We have raised a team in the matches played but could really do with more players,
especially from the village. From a time when Chailey used to field two teams comprised
of all Chailey residents we are down to just two or three. In or outside the village please
come and play. Contact Peter Dembrey on 07709 946880
From our records – getting 10 wickets in a match is the dream of bowlers and looking
through our records [since July 1949] two Chailey bowlers achieved this feat:
Basil Holding - 10 for 16 against Moulsecomb & District Community Association in 1963
Roy Clarkson - 10 for 20 against Ardingly in 1966.
Similarly, another dream every bowler seeks to achieve is the ‘hat-trick’. For Chailey
CC this has happened on 16 occasions, the last of which was in 2012. The successful
bowlers: Roy Clarkson [twice]; Richard Cogan; Frank Cornwall; Toby Glyn; Nick Heater
[twice]; Gus Hill [twice]; Morgan Hockley-Jones; B Page; John Padgham; Dave Rogers;
Sashi; Gordon Wilkins and Ernie Wood. Quite a ‘rogues’ gallery!!
Tales From Plot Six
Previously I mentioned that our Allotment shed could have easily have
been mistaken for a Steptoe & Son junkyard, and so work had been
undertaken to clear it. Although it was hard graft, it felt a little like the
Generation Game, one Satellite dish, one dilapidated Wendy house,
one set of broken spark plugs; little by little the world’s weirdest shed inventory was being
formed. The only thing missing was the cuddly toy!
I then decided that our Steptoe Shed would need a lick of paint to make it more pleasing
to the eye. Our plot neighbours were very kind and didn’t object to my choice of Sky Blue,
which in hindsight was not the best of camouflage choices, but you couldn’t miss it, and
no birds would be flying into that shed unless they were colour blind.
Simon’s Wall (the Fort Knox style of fencing/trench around the edge of the plot and which
could be seen from space) remained impenetrable, or so we thought. Personally, I was
surprised that floodlights and an emergency bunny tripwire had not been installed as
part of the defences, but I am reliably informed this yet may happen as part of ongoing
maintenance and upgrade plans. One day, we arrived to hear an ominous rustle from
the undergrowth. Much to our dismay, the noise turned out to be an unwanted furry
interloper who upon discovery, shot off at speeds which would have made Usain Bolt
blush with shame. ,I am pretty sure that there are no rabbits in existence which have
mystic dematerialising powers, although for a moment I started to doubt this, as low and
behold, a mere fraction of a moment later, there was the same rabbit bounding across
the adjacent plot!
Bemused as to how it got there and after much investigating, we finally located our one
breach in the defenses. It was a small little hole which had been ‘worked’ into the base
of the fence which ran across the adjoining plot. Thanks to our nettle colony, it had been
cunningly disguised and subsequently had gone unnoticed! The breach was promptly
blocked up with several hefty bricks (it was decided the dented satellite dish may be a
bit overkill) and after alerting our neighbour, and then inspecting all non-weeds for nibble
marks (that took all of thirty seconds) we were relieved to discover that no damage had
been done. We reckoned our little friend was probably put off by the mountain of metal
junk it had found instead of crops to munch!
11Summer musings: Who doesn’t love summer? That bright light, the sense of things
coming into their peak, and the glut of crops. Bask in the sunshine and enjoy the long
warm days, listen to the bees buzzing amongst the flowers and take delight in the season
and all it brings. I would encourage you all to get outside and to get growing, it's good for
the mind, the body, and the soul.
For those reading this, why not try growing your own? Salads are a good place to start on
a warm window sill or try spuds in a bucket if you are limited for space. Once you have
tried it, you won’t look back! Our Allotment Association gives produce to the Lewes Food
Bank, who help families across the district. If you are interested in joining us, please
contact Chailey Parish Council for more information. Happy Growing!

Chailey Litter Pickers
1227 bags so far!
Recently on the TV I have seen a lot of programmes featuring animals affected by litter.
Plastic waste in our seas and oceans, swallowed by or entangling sea creatures, has been
much publicised but animals in the countryside are also affected. One programme showed
a fox with its head stuck through the middle of a discarded car wheel, another showed a cat
with its head stuck inside a tin can. Birds entangled in plastic and other creatures killed by
swallowing plastic items, horses killed by eating discarded dog poo bags (attracted by the
grain in the dog poo), the list goes on and on. Some of these stories can be distressing to us
who see or hear them, so imagine the distress to the animal, all because some humans think
it is okay to drop their rubbish instead of taking it home and binning it!
Chailey Litter Pickers volunteers work hard to keep Chailey parish as litter free as possible,
but we need your help. Become a litter hero and pick up litter wherever you see it. Let us not
stand by and say it’s not our job, let us get proactive and show how much we love and respect
our parish by joining the clean-up revolution. Thank you!
Next Group Litter Pick: Saturday 27th July, meeting at 10am at Chailey Free Church car park.
Some equipment available on the day but please bring gloves and grabber if you have them.

Chailey School
I was delighted to join families and friends at the
Arts and Technology Celebration Evening at Chailey
School in June.
There was a wonderful range of work on display produced from Year 11 Art and Design
Technology students. This gave an excellent opportunity and insight into what is expected
by exam boards for the new GCSE specifications, thereby boosting inspiration for students
interested in the Arts subjects. Delicious, professional canapés were prepared by Year 10
Food Nutrition and Preparation students.
I continue to meet so many families who are delighted with the schooling and care their
children are given at Chailey School. We are lucky to have such a high standard school in
our village.

CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF MARKETS
Founded in 1919 in Lewes as W.I. Markets to help returning members of the
Forces, the movement soon spread nationwide and, after separating from the W.I.,
eventually became the modern co-operative we all know today.
July has been designated the “Month of Celebration”, so come and help Newick
Country Market celebrate on Friday 12th July between 10 am and 11 am. We will
have some guest producers in addition to our usual market goods and a few
surprises for you.
The market has a good selection of locally grown vegetables as well as homemade
savoury and sweet bakes as the fancy takes you, bespoke greetings cards, jewellery,
knitted items, preserves, and flower arrangements for that special occasion. Orders can
be taken for any of the above, and special diets can also be catered for. If you cannot
see what you want feel free to ask one of our producers.
All the items are produced by members of the market and our food producers have the
required standard of food hygiene certificate.
If you haven’t met us before why not drop in for some freshly brewed coffee, meet friends
and catch up on village news.
It is advisable to come along early as many items sell out fast.

Newick Sports Pavilion
The 26th Newick 10k Will Page Road Race 25 August 2019
The annual Newick 10k Road Race will be held on Bank Holiday Sunday 25 August 2019
starting at 11am from the King George V Playing Fields, Allington Road, Newick.
First held in 1993 as part of the fundraising for the Sports Pavilion on George V Playing
Field. Will Page, a keen runner, was just starting to organise the event when he was
tragically killed in a road accident. The race went ahead in Will's honour and has been
held ever since.
The runners will follow a course from the King George V Playing Fields through
Oxbottom, Cinder Hill, down the A275, along Markstakes/Ridgelands Lane, Fonthill, and
finally along Church Road finishing at the Newick Sports Pavilion who organise the race
in partnership with Nice Work.
The winner is expected to cross the finishing line just after 11:30am. If you’re in the area
during this time, please look out for the runners and give them your support either out
on the course or at the finish line – all support will be welcomed and appreciated by the
runners!
Now in it’s 27th year, the Will Page Road Race annually attracts local runners as well as
members from various Sussex running clubs all looking to get their hands on a medal.
The record winning time of 31:30 is held by David Wardle of London Irish who completed
the race in 2007.
1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards will be given to Men, Ladies and Veterans, and medals to
all finishers. The Page family also donate a trophy to the first member of a Newick Sports
Club to cross the finishing line in honour of Will Page, who was himself an outstanding
runner and sportsman.
There will also be a Children’s race taking place on the same day at 10:30am around the
Playing Field – entry on the day.
Entries fees are accepted on the day or can be paid in advance at https://
newicksportspavilion.org.uk/willpage10k.html where further information about the race
is available.

Citizens Advice- Changes to Rental Fees from 1 June 2019
There are 4.7 million households living in the private rented sector, who pay £13 million
a month in unfair and uncompetitive fees. From 1 June 2019 many of the fees that have
historically been charged to tenants will be banned. This includes upfront administration
charges, inventory fees, charges for providing references, credit reference fees, renewal
and check-out fees.
Initially, the ban of fees will apply to tenancies entered on or after 1 June 2019 and thereafter
to other tenancies from 1 June 2020. There are more complicated rules about tenancies
that initially started before 1 June 2019 under a fixed term but that get renewed or continue
after the fixed term has ended beyond 1 June 2019 when the initial tenancy itself provides
for the fees to be paid.
There are a number of exceptions to a complete ban on fees including allowing a landlord
or agent to collect rent, charge fees for rent that is unpaid for 14 days and costs of replacing
lost keys or other security devices. Holding deposits will be capped at the equivalent of
1 weeks’ rent, and there is a new procedure regulating what happens with the holding
deposit where a tenant or landlord does not go ahead with a tenancy. Damage deposits, in
most cases, will be capped at the equivalent of 5 weeks’ rent.
For information and advice, call us on 03444 111444, visit our office in Newhaven, Lewes
or Seaford or check out our website www.lewesdistrictcab.org.uk.
