RMF   canceled    Rudgwick Music Festival 

A message from our Chairman

It is with much regret that the organisers of the RMF must announce the winding up of the Rudgwick Music Festival. For some years we have been trying to recruit younger people to join in the organising of the event with a view to taking over but, unfortunately, this has not happened. We are now faced with two key members retiring and no one qualified to take their place.

The RMF was started in 1993 as a private garden party held annually and by 1997 it had grown in size so much that we had to find a larger venue and make it a public event. Since then organisers have enjoyed over 20 years of running a well attended and successful rock and blues festival and have raised around £100,000 for local charities. We would like to acknowledge the invaluable help provided by:- • The Rudgwick Scout Group in organising and controlling the car parking in their quiet and efficient way. • The Merchant Seaman’s War Memorial Society for providing the wonderful venue for the auditorium, camping and car parking facilities at the Springbok Estate. • All the volunteers who have helped over the years erecting fencing, the stage, lighting, marquees and generally setting up the site and break everything down and clearing up after – we couldn’t have managed without them. • Last, but by no means least, the public who have turned up year after year. Thank you all for your support and for the kind, encouraging and complimentary comments that we have received from you.

WITLEY VICAR TO OPEN 71^st BROOK VILLAGE FETE

Monday 29th May marks the 71st annual Brook Village Fete, (sponsored by local independent boarding and day school King Edward’s Witley)

One of the most popular and longest-running village festivals in southern England. This year, the event will be officially opened by Jane Vlach, Vicar of All Saints Church in Witley on Bank Holiday Monday, May 29th, at 1pm, on the picturesque village green opposite the Dog and Pheasant Pub. In keeping with the spirit of this time- honoured and renowned local tradition the emphasis remains on good old-fashioned family entertainment with a broad choice of attractions, designed to provide something of interest for everyone.

No-one attending the fete is likely to go hungry, as there is a tempting array of culinary treats to choose from, including the mouth-watering barbecue, tea tent, homemade cakes stall and Pimms Tent, together with stalls selling sweets, popcorn, ice-cream and candyfloss. Visitors will also be encouraged to try their luck at the tombola, while the Grand Draw Raffle will see winners take home a fabulous range of prizes.

Fete organisers are appealing to local residents for their support – regardless of the weather (!) -, as all the money raised is vital to the maintenance of Pirrie Hall and its grounds, which host the well-known cricket club, tennis club, nursery school, children’s playground and other highly valued local community clubs and activities. Pirrie Hall is a registered charity that receives no outside funding.

Friday, Sep 1st 8:00 pm Viceroys House

Starring Hugh Bonneville as Lord Mountbatten & Gillian Anderson as Lady Edwina Drama. Upstairs, the last Viceroy attempts to oversee the smooth (but preferably rapid) withdrawal of the British from India, but a peaceful transition is threatened by sectarian and religious divisions. Meanwhile, downstairs in the servants' quarters, a young manservant and maid are falling in love and facing obstacles of their own..

Their Finest Friday, Sep 15th 8:00 pm

Starring Gemma Arterton as Catrin Cole & Bill Nighy as Ambrose Hilliard Comedy drama. A former secretary is drafted in as screenwriter to provide some much-needed female input for a major new propaganda film production, intended to help raise the public's morale in the face of the Blitz and hopefully persuade America to join the war. All that's missing is a script. And some reliable actors. And a clue where to start...
