News | AUGUST 2016 CITIZEN OF HENFIELD AWARD The Citizen of Henfield Award was introduced by Henfield Parish Council many years ago to recognise exceptional service by an individual to Henfield over a period of years. In all the time that it has been existence, only two people have received the award: Dr John Squires and Mr Peter Hudson. Henfield Parish Council would like to revive the award and has set the following criteria against which to consider nominations: 1). The recipient shall have made an exceptional contribution to the life of Henfield and/or the people living in Henfield. 2). Nominations for the award will come from the community and will be advertised in the local press. The award will be considered during the second year of every Parish Council. 3). Whilst a person is holding an elected public office they will not generally be considered to be eligible for the award. 4). The voting process within Council shall be by a paper vote with a requirement that to receive the award the nominated person receives the unanimous vote of all those members of Council attending the meeting and eligible to vote at the time of the actual vote. If there is an individual that you think should be considered for the award, please send the name and reasons for nomination by email to office@ henfield.gov.uk or alternatively drop a letter into the Parish Council letter box outside The Henfield Hall. Kevin Wright, Clerk to Henfield Parish Council

GARDEN FERTILIZER FOR SALE IN AID OF SCOUT HUT An excellent garden fertilizer produced from the extract of the common stinging nettle (as recommended by Monty Don on Gardeners World) is now available locally. I was taught the technique by my countryman father way back when I was a boy and have been using it very successfully every since. I’m selling the fertilizer to raise money for the Scout Hut Appeal – to buy some contact me on 01273 492376. John Hill
FOOD AND FUN The friends of St Peter’s Church will be holding their Summer event called Food and Fun in the Garden Room of Henfield Hall at 7pm on 12 August. Tickets are £12.50 from Village Care or 01273 492294. The food will be a delicious buffet and the fun element will partly depend on the weather but chiefly upon yourselves!
