Once Upon a Time
Thank You BCWRA Residents Association
Once Upon a Time
Many years ago, (pre-Pavilion), a survey of villagers showed that what they most wanted was - a footpath round the playing field.
We believe that now is the time to do it!
Since announcing the project, we have had many messages of support and encouragement, and also advice on anything from materials to fundraising. Thank you, all.
What?
And...
Once Upon a Time
A 1.5m wide (5 ft) tarmac footpath around the perimeter of the fields, flush with the surface.
See below for why we chose tarmac.
Apart from the section near the Pavilion, most of the path will be invisible from here.
And...
And...
And...
At the same time, we want to greatly improve the drainage - increasingly wet summers are restricting use of the whole field
Why?
And...
And...
We want to make the fields fully accessible to everyone throughout the year. Wheelchair users, families with buggies, joggers, etc., etc.
The drainage will enable more sports groups, formal and informal to use the East end area.
How and When?
Thank You Carole and Ian
How Can I get Involved?
We have some funds but will be looking for grants, and doing fund raising, with a target for completion September 2022.
The estimated total cost is £70,000
How Can I get Involved?

The Open Gardens event was hugely enjoyed by everyone, and raised £1100 towards the footpath project. Thanks not only to our generous hosts but to the car parking hosts, the chefs for the cakes, the stewards, servers and all who made it such a good day.

MEMORIAL GATE
THANK YOU
To those who raised and donated funds - the family of the late Jim Smith, the Century Club, the After 8s, Roger Daltrey who generously provided the stone to match the church Lytch Gate, the members of the Pavilion Committee, the Friends and PCC of St Philip's Church, Burwash Parish Council, and all who contributed in so many different ways.
To those who had the vision and did the planning.
To Stan Goodman who designed it, Mark Edwards who built it, Frogheath Landscaping who assisted, and Clint Edwardson who carved the inscription.
And to the community for their support and encouragement.
We have internet
We have Internet
It's limited in what you can access (it has parental controls set up) but it's perfect for zoom, emails, etc. if your own connection has been lost. It's called The Pavilion and the password is Thepavilion
Our thanks to the Parish Council for sponsoring this facility.
Host Combined Events
The hall, with its plain white walls and excellent natural lighting is ideal for you to host a parallel onsite and online meeting, class, etc.. Exercise, art, whatever, you can do it from here. Contact us to book.
Join In
Help in the Bar
We welcome help with serving at the bar and/or keeping things running smoothly by collecting the glasses and restocking the shelves. It's voluntary but a great way to meet new friends and/or obtain work experience.
Help in the Grounds
Go on. You know you want to sit on the mower, pottering round and round, taking in the view, avoiding the family, putting off all the things you meant to do. It's free, stress free and far more relaxing than the even the most expensive cruise.
Hedge cutting, ditch digging, playground cleaning, whatever you want.
Join the Committee
They're a friendly bunch. Meetings about 6 times a year are usually enhanced by the bar being open. It can result in hard work if you decide to take on a particular role but the sense of achievement is well worth it.
