Bonfire Society gives back to village
Cheques were presented when the Society held a recent thank you evening in the Rose and Crown at Beckley for everyone who helped with last year’s procession and bonfire.
The street collection was shared by Northiam Seniors’ Club, the School Crossing Patrol and the Mary Shipstone Memorial Fund.
