WELCOME

Welcome

to the annual Ashington Village Directory. One of a series of Village Directories in Sussex. This directory is delivered free of charge to every home and business in Ashington, Washington and the surrounding area.

It contains details of the local clubs, societies, churches etc. In fact all the information that is useful to residents. Village Directories keep residents informed, shopping locally and using local services. Our aim is to support the community and the directory devotes 50% of its content free of charge to useful local information.

This publication is made entirely possible by local trades and services who advertise.

Please make every effort to support them and to mention that you saw the advert in The Ashington Village Directory.

We now have a new website which has all the listings and advertisers contained in this edition.

The website also has similar listings of 15 other West Sussex villages so if you need any local contact details for community groups in West Sussex this website is a good place to start.

It is designed to also work on your smart phone or tablet so please have a look and make it one of your ‘favourites’ so you can easily access the contact details you need whether at home or on the move.

We hope you find the Directory useful and that you keep it to hand for the whole year until the next one arrives.

SUSSEX CONSERVATION GROUP A group who volunteer on behalf of the National Trust, founded in 1988. Our first work party was held at Highdown Hill near Worthing after the great storm of 1987. We have grown in stature and have a core group of volunteers but would like to recruit more to help. We mainly carry out work on alternate Sundays with the occasional Saturday and also weekend tasks, once or twice a year. Work carried out goes towards their 50 hour volunteer card over a year (but not compulsory) which entitles the holder to free entry to National Trust properties and discounts in their shops and restaurants. We’ve had students from Plumpton and various other colleges and those working towards a Duke of Edinburgh Award. We are a friendly bunch and provide any new recruits with a welcoming atmosphere and of course tea and biscuits! We also have many social events.
