E D I TO R I A L

Welcome to the Spring/March edition of the Hurst. As we go to press, the daffodils are just starting to make an appearance and, despite the truly awful weather we have endured over recent weeks, it seems that Spring is not that far away.The clocks go forward on Easter Sunday 31st March and I’m sure we will all welcome the extra daylight – and hopefully sunlight.

This issue of the Hurst is packed with different activities and events. For a village with a population a little under 1200 (according to the latest census), Hurst Green really is very proactive. From walking football, bowls and cricket there are numerous sports for the active and the not-so active.There are also various walks as outlined in these pages.

A different activity, the over 75s Breakfast Club was praised recently by local MP Huw Merriman who visited recently and said, “I came away from the visit thinking that every village should have a breakfast club for Over 75s.” Praise indeed for the volunteers who work so hard and the

Parish Council that financially supports it.

And the activities don’t stop there. In March and April there’s a Quiz night, a Barn Dance and a Movie Night at the village hall and, of course, in the next couple of months planning will ramp up for the village Fete in mid June.

The visit by our local MP of course reminds us that we are in an election year. I’m sure it won’t be long before the various candidate leaflets are popping through our letterboxes.

Something for all of us to look forward to!!

This editorial must make a special mention for Sue Endean, our latest Hero of Hurst Green (or should that be heroine?). Recognising her immense contribution to our community, the Parish Council awarded her the highest honour that it can – the freedom of the parish of Hurst Green.

Our next issue will be out in early June. Do let us know if you have any news, or any issues you feel we should cover. If you have any nominees you feel are worthy of our Heroes of Hurst Green spotlight, do let us know.The deadline is 1st May.

Huw praises village breakfast club for Over 75s

On Friday 12 January, Huw Merriman, MP for the Bexhill and Battle constituency, enjoyed breakfast with Hurst Green residents at the fortnightly Over 75s’ Breakfast Club at the village hall.

Twice a month, local volunteers organise a breakfast for village residents who are aged 75 and over. The busy event is a great place for senior members of the village community to meet up and enjoy a delicious full English breakfast. The club volunteers also offer a lift to and from the village hall for those who may struggle to attend, to make sure no one misses out due to transport or mobility problems.

Huw was invited to join the breakfast to meet the residents and volunteers.

Huw said “When I arrived at Hurst Green Village Hall for the breakfast, the place was already buzzing with chatter and laughter.

I was made to feel so welcome and was treated to a delicious breakfast which was a great way to start my busy day. The volunteers and club members are clearly very proud of what they have achieved.

This social event is so important to the village community. For many club members, it was a simply a chance to catch up with friends, have a good chat and put the world to rights. For others, the club helps to

alleviate loneliness and isolation which can be a real problem for those living in rural areas. And, for some, it is a welcome break from full-time caring responsibilities.

I came away from the visit thinking that every village should have a breakfast club for Over 75s. It really is what community is all about – supporting each other, creating a sense of belonging, sharing news and enjoying company of friends and making new friends. I want to say a big thank you to the volunteers who clearly give far more than just their time to this club, they are rightly passionate and proud about what they have achieved. I should also like to thank Hurst Green Parish Council for their financial support of the club, it’s exactly the sort of project that a Parish Council should support, they set a great example to others.”

The Over 75s breakfast club is always looking to raise funds to cover their costs. If any other local organisations or businesses would like to support it or donate to the regular fund-raising raffle, please do contact Elaine 01580 860358 or Clive 01580 860760.

If there are any members of our community in Hurst Green who are over 75 years and would like to join us on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month, please contact us.

Letter not from the Vicar! Holy Trinity Hello again, and I hope the last few months have treated you kindly! Winter always seems to exacerbate any existing difficulties, so it is not surprising that travel companies spring into action at the first sign of snowdrops. Some of you may already be looking forward to a well-earned holiday away from home.

‘Holidays’ began as ‘Holy Days’, which we still celebrate today. Before the Reformation, there were many more, remembering popular Christian saints and providing everyone with a chance to lay down tools and make merry. People gave thanks for the saint whose day it was, and asked for his or her prayers. Of course, not everyone could take a break, as animals and some crops always needed attention – as all farmers will recognize!

Even a simple change of scene or a single day out can be refreshing, a chance for people to spend time together away from responsibilities at home. I know someone who gets the family together before the home journey, and invites them to say what changes they would like to see in the life of the family. She says this exercise would be nigh impossible at home.

Sunday used to be a weekly opportunity to rest from routine tasks, but a truly restful Sunday is no more! What happened to Saturdays? This used to be the day for visiting grandparents or doing some special shopping. Now Sunday has taken its place.

No wonder we are exhorted to ‘get away’!

We clergy are strongly encouraged to take a regular ‘day off’, or ‘rest day’, during the week, so as to be able to minister effectively on the other six days. We

Allan Cheek continues his regular feature in the Hurst describing different walks of varying difficulty. Allan is happy to discuss this and other Hurst Green walks in more detail including the possibility of leading small groups.

For information, contact Allan by text/ WhatsApp 07803 502972

Hurst Green to Ewhurst Green walk 6.5 miles Unlike all my previous circular walks this one is a linear point to point so you need to arrange your return, either someone to pick you up or drop off a vehicle in advance.

We start as usual opposite the Clockhouse and head south down the A21 but only as far as no 123 London Road where you cross with great care to the marked footpath stile opposite. Follow this well trodden path over another stile, through a gate and some brambly overgrown fields to the wood with a steep descent and up again to another gate continuing uphill and through two more gates to a lane.

Bear right and right at the junction following the lane for about 400 yards to reach a gap between two properties

and footpath sign. Head between the hedges and out to cross open pasture and right uphill to a gate and path to another gate which leads you to the mysterious lime green circular reservoir building adjacent to Stage Field with its beacon and underground bunker.

Take the track down to Bodiam Road and turn right with care until you reach the left turn to Salehurst. Continue down here for about 700 yards where you’ll find Oak Farm Oast and Beech House Farm and tucked between the two is our next footpath. This leads past two horse paddocks to a wobbly stile and continues downhill in grazing pasture. Keep to the left to find the footpath slipping away down to a footbridge and stile.

Turn left uphill then right at the field boundary towards the bottom fence and tricky downhill stile, stream and up again to pasture where the footpath has been diverted left up a few steps and then follows the next two left field boundaries to lead uphill to a gate onto Bourne Lane.

Turn right for about half a mile past several farms and cottages ignoring the right turn to Salehurst until you reach the sharp left bend where on the right you will find a 5-bar gate and stile. Follow this path eastwards across the next two fields stiles

into the third ignoring the path to the right and keeping downhill left of the pond to another stile where you continue downhill slightly left of the field boundary towards the final stile and the busy straight of Junction Road B2244.

Cross carefully to a gate and walk straight across the next field. On entering the next field you need to look out for a left turn and stile into a managed area with a trout lake. Follow round keeping the lake on your right and a footbridge toward the buildings of Bodiam business park. Keep right in front of the next large warehousing and follow the track to a gate marked ‘footpath only’ and some overgrown leylandii. This track leads for about a mile past a vineyard and playing fields to the Castle Inn at Bodiam.

Here we cross and turn right just past Bodiam Castle entrance where you will find a handy gate and path beside the road and the tearooms. Follow this back onto the pavement crossing the river Rother bridge to the little layby and the metal gate on the left. The path leads up onto the flood bank with great views of the Castle. Keep on this path until it turns right down off the bank skirting the boundary fence towards the railway then right again until you find the crossing point across the track then left and right past a tattered open barn. Follow the path directions until you come to a stile and crossing of footpaths.

Take the stile and head gently uphill on a normally well-trodden path, another stile and steeper uphill heading towards a grand period detached house, a final stile and more uphill to the last gate of the day onto Ewhurst Lane. As you head left into the village you are treated to some beautiful examples of period buildings and their welltended gardens before reaching a destination and delightful hostelry The White Dog. With a fair wind this walk should be comfortably completed in 2hrs 45mins.

1st Hurst Green Brownies Hurst Green Brownies have 14 girls at present, three adult volunteer leaders, a Young Leader and two former Brownies doing their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award with us so we have a lively, busy group.

The winter months can be a bit bleak for all of us but we’ve made sure we have a fun and varied programme of activities for our girls.

As well our usual games, crafts and badge work we’ve also been out and about.

In December we went to see Wish at the Cinema in Hastings, as part of a special partnership deal the Odeon has with Girlguiding. The showing was exclusively for our members. We found ourselves the only group booked in screen 4 so had an exclusive screening of the film. After the film we headed back to Hurst Green for our Christmas themed sleepover which included our Christmas party.

In January we joined Brownies from Burwash at Urban Jump trampoline park in Heathfield where we all had a “bounce” for leap year, earning a special badge.

We’ve also gone on a dark walk in the village, returning to the village hall to make smores and have a hot chocolate with marshmallows.

In February we are joining girls from the rest of Robertsbridge District at a craft dabble afternoon for world Thinking Day which will be themed around the various world regions we have in Girlguiding.

If you know a girl aged between 7 and 10 years old who would be interested in joining us, we do have spaces.You can register her at the following link: https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-forparents/register-your-daughter/ 7

Wadhurst Bowls

Your local club since 1934 Yes, we are back – well almost…

With spring in the air and a skip in our step the Wadhurst bowlers are just itching to get back out there on the hallowed turf next month.

There is something special and so promising about the start of a new season.

Will we continue where we left off last year? Will all those foibles and wrinkles have been ironed out as, just like a beautiful butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, we find we have turned into something new -formidable bowling machines! – or will it be a year of disappointment, first round exits and missed opportunities?

No – of course not. We are Wadhurst. We are the reigning Horam League Champions, The Border Cup Winners. The Tunbridge Wells league runners-up. We have winning in our blood!

New sponsors have been signed-up from the local business community to help with the costs of maintaining our green in

such superb condition and we thank them hugely. During the autumn and winter the grass was deeply scarified, top dressed and re-seeded and is now being regularly cut as the mower blade-height is gradually reduced to its optimum height of 5mm.

But what can we offer for new members who are coming to bowls for the first time?

Well, put this in your diary now – Monday 27th May from 11am-2pm we are throwing open the doors to anyone who would like to give bowls a try. All ages welcome. All equipment provided, just wear trainers, or go bare-foot…

This is the equivalent of a non-league footballer getting the opportunity to play cup-final football at Wembley or the local tennis player walking out onto Wimbledon’s Centre Court. Well, maybe not quite the same, but you get the idea. More info next month unless you want to register your interest now by phoning Laurence on 07714 935915 Wadhurst Bowls steeped in tradition not stuck in the past. www.wadhurstbc.com

Burwash Walking Footballers Eastbourne Borough 2-2 Burwash After a shaky start where we conceded two smartly taken goals, a superb strike In our occasional series of ‘player profiles’ we get to shine the spotlight on our members – this month it’s the turn of new player Andrew Bensberg from Robertsbridge.

“I was born in Caterham, Surrey in 1959, one of 9 children, 8 boys and one girl. I am married with 3 grown up children and 6 grandchildren.

Like so many of my generation, I left school at 16 with no qualifications and got a job at a local building firm in Caterham. I trained in carpentry and after about 10 years I left the firm to become self-employed. I formed my own company in 1997 with 25 employees and we undertook a range of exciting projects including Denbies Winery in Dorking and the University of Brighton to name a few.

When my wife took early retirement in 2011 we decided to move to Sussex and I continued to run my company, with no shortage of work in my new area. However, this changed when work effectively dried up in the Spring of 2023 and, at the age of 63, I decided to take the leap of faith and retire. I closed the company and sold my van, so there was no going back!

I have to admit this left a huge hole in my life, having been in the construction industry for 46 years. Due to the nature 10

In the second half, against the wind, it was all Burwash, although Eastbourne were ever dangerous on the break. However an inspired substitution saw John Lee have an immediate attempt on goal foiled before

of my job I was able to keep fit through work alone, so didn’t see the need to go to the gym at weekends. I have never been a sporty person but with all this time on my hands I felt I wanted some activity to help me keep fit and healthy. Also, I felt a little bit isolated at times and wanted to join an activity where I could meet people.

I had never played football before but when I found there was a walking football team in Robertsbridge, thought I would give it a go and took the plunge to contact Laurence, who made me feel very welcome.

I’m really enjoying it, not only for the exercise but for the support and friendship of the team, not least because it involves a few beers afterwards at the pub!

I would thoroughly recommend walking football to anyone, I feel fitter, and look forward to our weekly games.”

he levelled the scores shortly afterwards.

If Peter H’s shot against the post had gone in rather than coming back across the goal we could have upset the league leaders.

A draw was possibly the right result bearing in mind the shots each keeper had to save but in terms of possession we came out winners.

Then it was off to watch Heathfield & Waldron thrash Cranbrook 64-5 at rugby – a good day out!

BU RWA S H ‘ PA L S’ V I S I T TO FLAN D E RS Eight of us Walking Footballers piled into two cars and headed off via Le Shuttle for a three day trip around the Great War Battlefields – and what a trip it turned out to be!

Andy, an expert and professional battlefield guide (and also a Walking Footballer) enlightened, educated, illuminated and at times reduced us to tears as he related personal and poignant stories of those who fought for our liberty.

With a packed itinerary, including notes on relatives that Andy had researched, we visited the graves of past grandparents and great uncles, laid tributes and shared a few silent moments.

Laying a wreath at the Menin Gate, on behalf of the Burwash Walking Footballers, whilst the buglers played the Last Post was a special moment.

Visiting Vimy Ridge with its preserved trenches and tunnels, and realising the military significance of controlling it really brought home the tactics of war.

Those who receive the honour are able to use the title of Freeman or Freewoman.

The Litter Busters of Hurst Green!

You may have noticed if you walk around the village that there is very little litter. This is due to the weekly commitment of two community minded heroes.

Since summer 2022, Paul began setting out on a Monday morning with a black sack and litter pickers to rid the streets of unsightly rubbish. He was soon joined by his neighbour George who heard of this venture whilst chatting over a beer!

I asked Paul why he had chosen to do this, and he said he was frustrated with seeing all the litter around the streets and thought he could actually do something about it.

They manage to spend a couple of hours every Monday morning come rain or

shine, walking up to Coopers Corner and sometimes to the school, round the estates and into the park. Many people have noticed this improvement and have said how grateful they are. Some children thanked them and other residents have shown their appreciation.

Cigarette butts, tin cans, plastic of all shapes and sizes will never biodegrade and is a serious threat to wildlife so this small act of service to a tiny part of our planet can only be a good thing.

A huge thank you to our village wombles!!

Fred went into a chemist shop to buy a bottle of aspirins.

Moments later, he heard the chemist running down the street shouting. “Thenk goodness, I’ve found you.

I’ve made a DREADFUL mistake. I sold you a bottle of Cyanide tables??” “Oh” said Fred. “Well, what’s the difference?”… “£1.50 a bottle,” said the chemist!

An unemployed man knocked at a cottage front door seeking work. The owner said “yes, I’ll give you £50 if you’ll paint my porch a lovely bright green and yellow.” Two hours later, the man knocked on the door and the owner gave him the £50. The man was most grateful but said,”Oh, by the way, it’s not a Porsche… it’s a Mercedes.”!!
