SEAHAVEN BRANCH ‘THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ST GEORGE’ MAKES USE OF ITS SURPLUS CASH! Following the successful presentation of equipment to the Seaford Life Guards in February, the Seahaven Branch of ‘The Royal Society of St George’ has gone on to make two other valuable contributions to worthwhile causes. A presentation of £200 was made to Councillor Linda Wallraven, the Mayor of Seaford towards her ‘Mad
March Marathon’, a fund-raising month for her charity, which is WAVES. This was made at a branch luncheon held at the Inn on the Park at Deanlands. Following this, a presentation was made to South Heighton Village of badges for use in their Jubilee Street Party, which promises to be ‘a right royal knees up’, in June! The next major event for the branch was the St George’s Day celebration on Monday 23rd April, where members and guests joined a special church service at St Andrew’s Church in Alfriston followed by a formal dinner in the nearby Dean’s Place Hotel. The Lord Lieutenant and many local civic leaders joined in with the celebration of the day. The Chairman of the Branch, Bob Peedle MBE, said “It is very satisfying when we are able to use our spare cash to help other organisations in our area. We have an enjoyable time anyway accumulating this money, which is usually gained from the raffles organised by committee member Maeve Mabey, which are held at our monthly functions. St George’s Day, being England’s National Day, is especially important to us as one of our aims is to encourage its observance and celebration by everyone.”
Enquires for membership should be directed to the Chairman on 01323 899985.

Are you a car owner/driver with occasional free time on a Monday afternoon? The Seaford Stroke and Caring Club desperately needs volunteers with their own cars to transport our members to and from the local venue. It would only be once in every four weeks, but this generous help would ensure that we can continue and do not have to leave anyone at home. A milage payment is available.
