FREE ELECTRIC BLANKET TESTING

FREE ELECTRIC BLANKET TESTING in October and November 2025 is being carried out by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service who are encouraging residents to put dates in their diaries for

Wednesday 12 November at Deanland Wood Park, Golden Cross BN27 3RN from 10am to 12 noon and

Lion House Park, Mill Road, Hailsham, BN27 2SQ from 2 to 4pm.

Last year over 30% of the blankets tested failed the safety checks, which could have resulted in serious incidents or even house fires. The ESFRS will be operating testing centres in fire stations and halls across East Sussex, Brighton and Hove and you can find out about other test centres at www.esfrs.org. It is a free service, and ESFRS would advise everyone to bring their electric blanket and heat pads, with the controls, for a safety check. The project is being supported by partners giving advice on safety and security issues, along with healthy lifestyle information.

HAILSHAM BONFIRE CELEBRATIONS

HAILSHAM BONFIRE CELEBRATIONS will be taking place in the town on Saturday 18 October evening. Processions followed by fireworks at Western Road Recreation Ground. Programmes are available to buy throughout the Town and will show the timings of the processions, the routes and the start of the firework display. There will be loud bangs throughout and some rolling road closures in place.

MOTHERS’ UNION MEETING & BEETLE DRIVE

THE MOTHER’S UNION will next be meeting at Abbots Wood Care Home on 14 October at the usual time of 7pm. We will be having a Beetle Drive interspersed with questions and discussion based around AFIA (Away From It All). This is a local MU project giving needy families the chance to have a holiday at one of our caravans based at Selsey and Winchelsea. We support this project annually with our fundraising. All welcome.
