Note from the Editor... Dear Readers, Welcome to the May/June issue of The Crowborough Magazine, packed full of lots of useful information including the latest Crowborough Town Council newsletter in the centre pages and lots of events that are taking place over the next couple of months, including the Crowborough Miniature Railway’s 30th Anniversary Gala Day see page 45 for full information. I always find it very nostalgic when I take a ride around the track as it reminds me of a similar railway close to where I grew up in North West London. If you’ve not been along before then I highly recommend you pay a visit. The local Crowborough & District Chamber of Commerce are busy as always. I went along to their Business Expo at the beginning of last month which gave me a great opportunity to catch up with advertisers, other chamber members as well as my local friends.
Laura & Jemma from Dawson Hart Solicitors

I’d like to take the opportunity to say a BIG thank you to the fabulous team at Jarvis Brew in Jarvis Brook. Following on the unexpected closing down of the crossword sponsor from the previous issue, they called up and said that they would be delighted to honour the prize and donated a £20.00 voucher to the winner. They are a smashing team there, serving superb coffee and they really made my day with their offer. They have also recently launched a delivery service for their food so if you can’t escape your office, give them a call with your order. See page 13 for more details. It’s been great to welcome many new advertisers into this issue of the magazine and I would like to say ‘Thank you’ to you, the readers as you seem to pass on my details to businesses you think could benefit in appearing in the magazine. You make a great sales team!

Pocket Nature Reserve
Work has been progressing to create the new ‘Pocket Nature Reserve’ on the old disused all-weather pitch next to the Beacon Academy. The chance to create a brand new nature reserve near the centre of town is a wonderful and rare opportunity and our Ranger’s first priority has been to ensure he fully understands the existing habitat and the wildlife that currently call this area home. It is very important that we don’t destroy nature in order to create a nature reserve! Regular surveys of the site by the Ranger, other ecologists, bird/butterfly experts and volunteers have been taking place over the past two years. This work has provided much invaluable information and has helped us to determine how best to create the reserve so that it can attract and support as much wildlife biodiversity as possible.
Crowborough Town Council Newsletter - Issue 2, 2019
New Pocket Nature Reserve continued... In surveying and monitoring the site we noted the high number of cats entering the area. As cats can pose a potential risk to wild birds, and due to the open sunny aspect of the site, our Ranger has decided to make butterflies and other pollinators one of the main priority species to attract. For this reason we are creating large glades and wide path edges. This will allow for many grass and wildflower species which the butterflies and pollinators depend on. Creating and improving a wildlife habitat often requires the removal of selected trees or areas of trees. Whilst it may seem odd to remove trees when creating a nature reserve, it is in fact an essential ecological practice which leads to a significant increase in biodiversity. It allows for small and large glades, and for a richer mosaic of flora and fauna than would otherwise be there. The majority of trees removed at the site were young willow trees with very sparse bramble beneath them. The increased light and cleared spaces will now provide a fantastic opportunity for many more species. The site will still be managed to benefit birds and all other wildlife and for this reason a new pond is being created. The wide glades and path edges will also help birds as they will have different foraging opportunities. In addition, by encouraging bramble and different thorny shrub and tree species we will be providing as much opportunity for birds as we are able to. The next stage of work is to dig the pond, lay the paths and finish the fencing around the site. We are very grateful to the Sussex Lund Fund for the grant it provided to cover the costs of these important elements of the reserve. These activities will happen throughout the rest of this year, and once completed it is hoped we will be ready to open the Pocket Nature Reserve to the public in summer 2020.

Community Warden Update We were delighted to welcome Chris Harrison back to the town last year – this time in the role of Community Warden. Chris is a familiar face in Crowborough having served as a PCSO here for eleven years. Following changes to Sussex policing he moved to become the Community Warden of Forest Row in July 2016, and now covers three local parishes, including Crowborough. Following his first few months in the role, Chris would like to update residents on the following: • There have been a number of occasions when vehicles have been found to be parked in disabled parking bays without permits, or where cars are stopped on the white zigzag lines by the zebra crossings. These are road traffic offenses and as such can incur an endorsable fine. Warning cards are currently being issued to offending vehicles and any repetition will result in the vehicle details being submitted to Operation Crackdown.
• On a more positive note, I have noticed that over the last month there has been a decline in the volume of vehicles using the taxi lay-by in Croft Road opposite the post office; this is very encouraging. I do understand that a number of residents park here to drop off items to the nearby charity shop, and the Town Council has agreed that this practice can continue as long as vehicles leave the taxi rank as soon as they have donated their items. • Sadly, there were a small number of purse thefts over the festive period. Please can I remind all residents to be mindful as to where you keep your handbag. Placing your bag in your shopping trolley or on the hook at the back of the trolley (and then leaving it unattended) makes it much easier for someone to distract you and take your purse. Finally, if you have any questions or concerns for Chris, please contact him on 07734 392141 or email communitywarden@forestrow.gov. uk
New Council Offices The Town Council will be moving to its new home at Pine Grove during April 2019. You can still call us on (01892) 652907 or email info@crowboroughtowncouncil. gov.uk with any enquiries – but if you need to pop in or to write to us, please note our new address: Crowborough Town Council Council Offices Pine Grove Crowborough, East Sussex TN6 1DH Crowborough Town Council Newsletter - Issue 2, 2019
Crowborough Annual Boundary Walk The ancient custom of walking around the parish boundary will take place this year on Sunday 26th May. The walk will start from Goldsmiths Recreation Ground at 9.30am, preceded by registration at 9.15am and a short prayer. The walk is approximately ten miles long and includes some fantastic views of the countryside surrounding Crowborough. The walk can be as energetic or leisurely as you want it to be – take your time as you enjoy discovering more about our wonderful town. Everyone is welcome to come along and the walk is suitable for most people - and their dogs! Please do note that all children need to be accompanied.

Sussex Day 2019 Join us on Sussex Day (16th June) on Chapel Green from 1-3pm for an afternoon of fun and entertainment. In addition to the ever-popular cream teas, BBQ and beer tent, there will be a FREE bouncy castle, FREE face painting and lots of FREE family entertainment. This year we are delighted to be welcoming ‘Arbor the Tree’. This part-man, part-tree is seventeen feet tall and is the creation of awardwinning puppetry and theatre company Smoking Apples. Follow Arbor as he strides around, vanishing between trees and emerging with his cart full of tree saplings. Arbor will be telling the story of a tree pushed from his home and his fight to preserve his future. Featuring amazing puppets and beautiful visual storytelling, we learn how Arbor came to be. Arbor loves to encourage his audience to be sustainable and to plant and nurture their own trees, so he likes to give each family a sapling to take home at the end of the performance, leaving a legacy that will last for generations.

The importance of being “warned” - injury at the Ryder Cup By Jacqueline Hardaway
But, is this possible?
There are many types of sporting injuries – but do you really expect to be injured when you are simply spectating? Ms. Remande was a spectator at the Ryder Cup and was hit in the eye, leading to loss of sight. As the headlines celebrated Europe’s victory over the USA, they also suggested that Ms. Remande will be seeking compensation for the injury sustained.
For Ms. Remande to successfully receive compensation for her injuries, she must show that either the owner of the course and/or the golfer was negligent. They both owe a duty of care to her as she was a spectator at a ticketed sporting event and this duty affords reasonable protection for spectators. Such protection could be in the form of shouting ‘fore’, erecting signs alerting spectators of the potential risks and also following health and safety regulations. However, any potential defendant could rely upon the element of risk always associated with spectating a sporting event. It could also be argued that Ms. Remande may not have been fully
01825 762281
concentrating at the time of play - particularly given the video evidence showing that ‘fore’ was shouted several times. Equally, there is a general rule at sporting events that spectators acknowledge the general risks involved in attending sporting events. Although there could be many issues to this matter, Ms. Remande’s chances of success could all come down to whether she was reasonably warned of the risks. For further information of sporting injuries or other issues arising from personal injury claims, please contact Jacqueline Hardaway by telephone on 01825 762281 or email jmh@dawson-hart.co.uk.

The Big O Vintage Festival comes to Edenbridge on 6th & 7th July 2019! The Big O Vintage Festival comes to Edenbridge on July 6th and 7th at the Kent and Surrey Golf Club. The Big O which was rated as one of the UK’s top vintage festivals in 2018 by Star Magazine promises to be a wonderful weekend of vintage and retro culture, spanning four decades and will be packed full of classic cars, live music, TV and film props, and DJ’s. The festival is like a living time machine; as you walk though WW2 Britain there will be reenactors and exhibitors representing all walks of life during those turbulent yet romantically nostalgic times featuring a vintage tea dance, live performances from Kitten Von Mew, The Dulcettes and Ryan Hornett. The 1950s marquee will be surrounded by classic American and British cars plus Rock’n’Roll bands including Lady Luck Lexy & the Riverside Boys, Ruby & the Dukes and Memphis Jets. A great attraction will be the jive sessions where festival goers can learn the steps that defined an era, hosted a by a great line up of London’s best 50s DJ’s from Rockabilly Radio. The 1960s zone will pay homage to the styles
and sounds of swinging London with DJs from the best clubs playing the sounds of the 60s. Look out for famous vintage TV and films props from Quadrophenia, The Saint and DR Who, and admire the mod-culture with more cars and the classic scooter ride-in. We are delighted to present the UK’s number one Small Faces tribute band, The “Small Fakers”, who play the main stage on the Sunday. The retro tent also features great DJs playing everything from New Romantics to Soul Disco and Funk , grab a photograph with Kitt the Car from the 80s hit TV show Knightrider and Del Boy’s iconic yellow 3-wheeler from Only Fools and Horses, or rock out to Glam Rock and Ska music on the main stage; grab a bargain at the lovely vintage market with everything from upcycled lighting to vintage clothing, jewellery, bags and shoes. You won’t go hungry for food as some great artisan street foodies who will be on hand along with a selection of specialist stalls and bars. Advance day passes are only £15 per adult (plus £8 for camping) and £5 for kids (5-15) for a day pass, or £35 for the weekend. Tickets are available from www.thebigofestival.co.uk and any potential exhibitors should contact the organisers, Talking Box Events. On the gate tickets are £20 for adults.

Rotherfield Millennium Green Trust Rotherfield Millennium Green Trust have just updated their Management Plan setting out how they will manage the Green, future plans and how the Green can be more accessible to residents. Part of the plan includes the planting of 1000 British Snowdrops and 200 Primroses. The Trust are also aiming to involve Rotherfield School with the Green and will construct an outdoor classroom to enable children to take part in outdoor learning.
In the near future three beehives will be installed in a fenced off area to enable this endangered species to contribute to the pollination of plants in the local area as well as making honey to sell and raise funds for the upkeep of the Green. Local residents are also able to get involved and can learn the basics of bee keeping in order that they can establish their own hives. The Green is maintained by volunteers.
