markCharity Concert in aid of MIND
22nd July 2017
Rottingdean Village Hall
19:30 start

A night to support MIND.

Mark will be singing songs from classic movies, theatre and Opera with special guests Hayden Cheyne and Lamiah Davey.

There will be a charity raffle sponsored by local businesses and the event is sponsored by Mishon Mackay.

This is a ‘Bring your own’ drinks night and glasses will be provided so search out those 3 for 2 offers!

Tickets are £6 available from marklanahan@sky.com or 07930812531 or MadWaxCandles in Rottingdean High street.

I’ve been in the industry since ’94 and I’ve appeared with the Royal National Theatre as ‘Launce’, along side my dog Norm as ‘Crab’ in ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’.and since 2000 I have sung all over the world to such far flung places as Dubai, New York, the Seychelles, South Africa to Royalty, stars and celebs of all types, such as Rod Stewarts wedding to Penny Lancaster, UAE Royal family and most of Coronation Street and Man Utd!

Most recently I have just returned from the 20th Anniversary Cruise performing on the SAGA Saphire cruise ship to 640 Diamond Members who know how to party!
With over 17 years experience as a Singing Master of Ceremonies organising Weddings, Parties, Corporate events with my Wife Jane and Father Christmas (Singing or not) through Hire Santa UK, I know every event has it’s own special moments and so I’m looking forward the night of the 22nd July!

MIND is the our charity of choice after meeting with volunteers who told me of their breadth of work especially with dementia and its many guises and their support for sufferers to help them face a scary and uncertain future.

Friends Of Beacon Hill Raffle Prizes

by Leave a Comment

Friends Of Beacon HillFOBH will be manning a stall at the Rottingdean Village Fair, Saturday 5th August, and were wondering if anybody would be in a position to offer up raffle prizes. Last year we had an amazing response to our fundraising from the raffle, along with 15 bird box sponsorships. These bird boxes will be available for sponsorship during the 2017-2018 season and we are still awaiting confirmation that another 10 boxes are being donated.

We have already received a donation of a “Friends of the Forest Quilt”, a couple of bottles of plonk and will also be selling specially designed oven gloves but need more goodies.

With your help last year we raised enough to replace the David Christie bench and erect the new bench that is on the St Dunstans path. This year we are raising funds for new noticeboards around the Nature Reserve.

Thank you for your continued support.
Friends of Beacon Hill Committee

ROTTINGDEAN IN BLOOM – JUNE 2017

by 1 Comment

My first pleasant duty is to express our committee’s grateful appreciation for all the financial contributions that have been received, not to mention the hanging basket sponsorships, which do much to enhance the ambience of our village.

There is still much to be done and without the generous support from the Parish Council it would be difficult to make ends meet, not knowing at this stage what reduced amount we might receive from the City Council’s Community Fund, so our treasurer Dr. Roger Levy is still happy to receive further donations even if they go towards the ‘start up’ costs for next year. This being the case, perhaps you would kindly make your cheque payable to Rottingdean in Bloom and send it to 46 Dean Court Road, Rottingdean. BN2 7DJ together with your address and telephone number.

One bone of contention, is the short stay car park wall and we are in serious need of one or two more helpers for this particular project, so if there is anyone so inclined then I will be delighted to hear from you on 01273 302431.

Notwithstanding, all of us must be proud of our other horticultural assets, namely Beacon Hill Nature Reserve, Kipling Gardens, St. Margaret’s Church grounds and The Grange that have all featured in the South & South East in Bloom competitions with outstanding success, which all adds to the colourful appearance of the village.

This particularly applies to The High Street, which was awarded joint first prize for the “Best Street Urban Area” last year and once again The Grange garden which reached the dizzy heights of first prize, bearing in mind that both of these were judged over the City as a whole, in the Brighton in Bloom competitions. Who knows, perhaps we will be able to report even more favourably when this years results are disclosed next September.

200 CLUB MONTHLY PRIZE DRAW – APRIL/MAY

by Leave a Comment

We are pleased to announce the last two months results as follows:-

The annual July anniversary date is nigh and whether or not you are already a subscriber, now’s the time to think about joining or
re-joining The Club.

Apart from having a flutter, forty percent of the income is allocated to village events and local worthy causes such as ‘Rottingdean in Bloom’ and the Christmas Tree in Neill Road and if one invests twelve pounds per lucky number (i.e. one pound per month) then, on reaching our optimum target of 200 numbers, the four monthly prizes range from ten to fifty pounds, with a bumper £240 at Christmas.

Numbers will be issued in strict rotation and will correspond with the number quoted at the top of your £12 receipt and two independent tellers in NatWest Bank will make the draw at the beginning of each month with cheques being sent out immediately afterwards. Naturally, the success of any such scheme is dependent upon the support it receives, but please don’t forget ‘you’ve got to be in it to win it’.

Following the demise of our Business Association the Club is now run under the auspices of our newly formed “Visit Rottingdean” partnership, retaining the same ideals as hitherto, but with the object of encouraging tourists and cursory visitors into the village in order to maintain and indeed improve upon the financial viability of our shops and services, to the benefit of our residents, without it otherwise destroying the heart and sole of our village.

Application forms can be obtained from the Post Office or Madwaxcandles in the High Street, both of whom hold the necessary lucky numbered receipt books should you decide to take the plunge and in order to allow for any last minute punters the initial draw will be delayed until later in July, when we are also able to reconcile the current bankers standing orders.
