Fathers (and Grandfathers) buying a ticket for a train ride on Fathers' Day, 20th June, will be entered into a draw to win a free day's driving experience on the South Downs Light Railway. Two lucky winners will be chosen at random by the manager of the Pulborough Garden Centre.
The winners will spend a day at the Railway learning the basics of preparing and driving an engine and will then take the controls for several trips along the line, all under the watchful eyes of one of the Railway's experienced drivers. The day will end with the disposal of the engine.
Such days usually cost at least £100 but all the winners need to do is to turn up in some suitable clothes and with a picnic lunch. Tea and coffee will be readily available. Family members are welcome to take a ride in the afternoon. |

West Sussex County Council youth services are undertaking a review with the aim of transforming services and reducing their budget by £2m. All County Council services are, or will be, subject to a review. This is because they, like many other councils, are facing very severe economic pressures, made worse because they continue to receive low government investment in West Sussex. Youth services are highly valued by WSCC and they want to ensure they are equipped to meet modern needs and pressures as well as reducing costs. Everyone, customers, partners and stakeholders are encouraged to take part now in our online survey until 25 May 2010. |

Arundel Castle
 An excellent place to visit, Arundel Castle is the seat of The Dukes of Norfolk and is set in 40 acres of sweeping grounds and gardens. Arundel Castle has been open to visitors seasonally for nearly 200 years. It is one of the great treasure houses of England, each having its own unique place in history and is home to priceless works of art. Go and see paintings and furniture, tapestries and stained glass, china and clocks, sculpture and carving, heraldry and armour in stunning room settings.
Bignor Roman Villa
 See outstanding mosaic floors in the Roman Villa at Bignor. Situated at the foot of the downs, near the tiny village of Bignor, the Villa is in a permanent state of improvement. Take a picnic to eat in the villa grounds when you've seen all the beautiful floors.
Petworth Park
 The vast late 17th-century mansion of Petworth House is set in a beautiful 283-hectare (700-acre) deer park, landscaped by 'Capability' Brown and immortalised in Turner's paintings. It is open for very long opening hours so you can walk around even when the house is closed.

The March figures are up to the 26th. I haven't updated these figures for a while so I was surprised that the numbers are now way over three times what they were 18 months ago. Woohoo!
Have Your Say
News from the Pulborough Traders Group (or not)
Apparently the Pulborough Traders Group have been re-enlivened though I've still had no updates for months. Not a very proactive team apparently! I can confirm that MBC Office has opened a new village Post Office. The shop has been completely refurbished to take in the new activities and looks very smart. I hope everyone in the village starts using the Post Office again - perhaps some bigger signs would draw more attention? The old Post Office become a kitchen showroom and the small shop next door to Boomerang is now a health food shop called beneficial Health. The shop next to Willmers is now a florist (that snuck up without my noticing) and a curtain place. If any of the local traders would like me to add articles regarding their shops or establishments, just send them to me with a few pictures and get yourself a free ad! This is not just for Lower Street shops either. Those on Station Road or London Road are welcome too.
