Do you really need a good reason for a party? Do we need aims and objectives for a festive gatherings with other Ditchlingers and have some fun? Well... The Ditchling Fair Committee discussed the new Ditchling Fair 2012 and came up with quite a few interesting ideas. Maybe we could fund raise for a similar small village in a developing country, or a specific group or building in our beloved Ditchling.

But in all out enthusiasm and excitement we simply forgot that we are, after all a COMMITTEE of the Ditchling Village Association. This means that our fund-raising efforts will go to the DVA. All the proceeds of the Fair will support the Ditchling Village Association with it’s Inter-village Sports Day, Old Folks Dinner, Village Newcomers Party, and other grants to local clubs and societies.

This will simplify the aim of the Fair and we can concentrate on a theme, events and activities. Here are a few ideas that came to me by email;

• a dog show
• a village food market
• wine tasting
• Horse Drawn trailers. Heavy horses were bred in this area by Henry the 5th for carrying his knights etc. so they are part of Ditchling's history.

keep the good ideas coming in! Send me an email on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it   The more the better!
