Home and AwayI’m producing this month’s issue from a distance. Not a huge distance, just the coast of Kent where I’m cat-sitting for some friends. The wonders of technology mean I can do whatever I need to almost anywhere, wifi permitting.My friends are taking advantage of their semi-retirement to enjoy a tour of Cambodia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. I feel like I’m on holiday too; even washing up is more fun in someone else’s kitchen. Like any visitor, I’m checking out the attractions. I’ve wandered over the white cliffs of Dover and cycled from Hythe to Folkestone along the prom. I’m also trying out the local swimming pool, exercise classes, takeaways. Being a serial visitor to the area, I already have friends in the local church bell towers.My regular stays away have taught me to travel lightly; to pare down my belongings to what I really need. Continual decluttering, in effect. It’s a good reminder that I’m just passing through.Billy Graham once said “My home is in heaven. I’m just travelling through this world.” It can be tricky to be properly mindful of the here and now, while still keeping an eternal perspective. A sometimes nomadic lifestyle helps in this respect; opportunities need to be grasped before they, or I, move on.
Those who minister in our churches often move around too. We’re delighted that Ben Sear will soon be joining us as our new Rector. Here’s a message from Ben:“By way of brief introduction, I am married to Claudia and we have a daughter called Phoebe who is 2 years old (and full of beans) and we are expecting our second child in March. I have been serving my Curacy at All Saints Church in Patcham, Brighton, which has been a very positive 3 and a half years for us, and we are now looking forward to joining you in Maresfield and Nutley. I am excited about taking on the role of your Incumbent and serving alongside you in the cause of the Gospel. I trust that Christ will provide for us as we seek to grow as disciples and reach the people of our villages with the love of God. I look forward to seeing you all very soon.
In Christ, Ben”

Bridge Lunch Report - and Friday BridgeOn 15th February 40 people enjoyed lunch in the Village Hall followed by a fun game of bridge. They were helping to raise funds for the Headway East Sussex, a charity based in Newick – www.headwayeastsussex.org.uk
Headway helps to rehabilitate people with brain damage or head injuries and provides help for their carers. Headway can help those with this injury to regain confidence and achieve something, no matter how small or how long the progress takes.
They have currently introduced an art room and also a facility to get involved with woodwork. Materials are expensive, so donations are always welcome.
BRIDGE is every FRIDAY 10.30–12.30 in the Village Hall.Please just come along, you don’t need a partner.

Victorian Lights: The quote for restoration and repair of the three Victorian Lights has now been accepted;by the time you read this, work will probably have already begun. We will most likely start with the light situated in the churchyard and then look to begin work on either the Recreation Ground light or the one situated at the Cemetery. Still awaiting quotes for electrical work.School Hill Fence: It is understood that repair work will be carried out by Highways Department but no start date has been given. Footpaths Group: Work has started on five direction posts within the parish. Flaking paint has been stripped, moss and algae washed off and the posts inspected for any repairs that may be required. Repainting will start when weather permits.
Please can you help?Collectors/Distributors: We need additional volunteers to join our team of collectors who annually collect subscription fees, and three times a year distribute our Newsletter to our members. It is an ideal way to meet new people and make new friends. If YOU can help (particularly if you live at Wellington Gate), it really would be greatly appreciated. Please do give me a call.

Computer support is rather like playing Cluedo. When a good juicy problem turns up, it is an opportunity to uncover the narrative of its origins and how to solve it. In the process of unravelling the situation, further problems very often come to light, unknown but not unfelt. Do things have to go badly wrong before we discover and deal with them? In the ever-transforming digital world where we increasingly depend on these devices working well, is there room for a better type of support?
The problem starts with the fallibility of computers and their high-tech environments. Before you even unpack your computer, pad or phone, it is already flawed. Its hardware has passed tests to within reasonable tolerances – a nice term for flaws that don’t cause an immediate problem. In addition, while it looks the same each day, the device on your desk and in your hand is a mutating creature transformed by frequent software changes. As Sting almost said, the perfect computer is a lie we don’t believe any more. The old way of looking after computers is like taking your car to the garage for an MOT. A picture emerges of your computer after a battery of tests and inspecting everything from security and system logs through to backups. This is great for putting your computer back on the right track but it may not keep it there. Why is this? Take a look at a photograph. Have you wondered whether the people in it had any inkling of what lay ahead? The check-up reveals what has happened and puts things right. The next check could be months away. Just like the photograph, what happens after a check-up is wonderfully unknown.That’s the old way. The new way is to put technology at your service. Your computer spends a lot of time doing nothing at all. While you ponder writing your next sentence or reading a web page, your computer could do something useful for you such as running a battery of checks. Should something be awry, this is an opportunity for an alarm to sound letting your IT bod know and deal with it - at the right time and not six months later.A great many tests are run as standard to assess common issues such as silently disabled security software, hard disks beginning to show signs of ill-health and strained system resources. However, examining the fabric of the environment in which the device works will help to reveal more hidden problems.I recently inspected a seemingly well-behaved computer. Infected with the latest malware which remained invisible to current security software. The computer was attacking the network and other machines. A properly configured checking system would have raised the alarm early.

News from Maresfield WI
What with a dry January and a wet February what will March throw at us weatherwise? March, or “stormy month” according to the Anglo-Saxons, is a month of extremes
either of strong winds or of balmy summer sunshine. The 15th was the ‘Ides of March’ in the Roman calendar. This meant it was the day on which the month was divided into equal parts. Julius Caesar was murdered on this date in 44BC.
Our February speaker was Moose Wells, accompanied by his wife Lizzie. They spoke on the North American Plains Indians who during the 19th and 20th centuries were warrior horsemen, following the herds of buffalo that roamed across the plains. Moose brought along an array of items ranging from clothing to items that the Indians would have carried or used daily.
Many of the items were decorated with beads and some with conch shells. This was surprising as most Indians had never seen the sea. The beads were an import from Italy and the shells came from the Bahamas. Even the knives that they used were made in Sheffield! These items had been traded for the furs and skins that the Indians had trapped. The various patterns used in decoration whether with beads, animal parts ie claws, teeth, bone etc or paint have symbolic meaning. Nothing of the animal was wasted.
Most of the items on display were replicas which either Lizzie or Moose had made. The bead work on the varying articles which Lizzie had made was exquisite and must have taken a lot of dedication and sore fingers to achieve the desired result. The feathers that the Indians used were either from the bald-headed or golden eagle and were usually awarded for some feat of bravery though some were also used to make fans.
For our March meeting Mrs Jenny Thomas will talk about the ‘Highlights of Flower Arranging at Chelsea’ whilst doing a flower arrangement. This will take place on Tuesday, 12th March, at 7:30 pm in the Village Hall. We look forward to seeing friends and visitors at our meeting.

Council TaxThe County Council has approved a council Tax rise of 2.99% which is the highest level allowed without a referendum. The level of cuts in service will be reduced to £5.1m as a result of a series of one-off grants from Government of just over £8m. Wealden Council Tax will be decided on 20 February and is likely to be an increase of £5 per year on the middle range Band D with proportionate rises for other bands .This amounts to a 2.7% rise. The Fire Authority rise will probably be 2.94%.The biggest increase of all is in the police precept. This will go up by £24 a year - £2 per month. This is a swingeing increase but we are promised it will pay for 100 new PCSOs, 50 new PCs and 50 more investigative and specialist staff.We need to see in return for this extra tax, more police in evidence in our communities and more attention paid to burglaries and anti-social behaviour.Local PolicingContinuing with policing issues, I have recently met senior police officers along with a number of local residents. We are all very concerned about the recent outbreak of break-ins and burglaries which have affected the Forest Centre, the Llama Farm and others. Police believe more than one gang are involved and have made some arrests relating to some of the break-ins.Our police remained committed staying close to local people. They would encourage us all to report suspicious behaviour and you can contact them via 101 or [email protected] on Highways IssuesBuxted: A26 Herons Ghyll 21-26 March Temporary traffic lights for drainage repairs.Fletching: Daleham Lane to March 22 Road closure for safety barrier replacement.Nutley: Down St. 27-29 March Road Closure for BT Openreach work.Piltdown: A272 Goldridge Road 5-7 March Temporary traffic lights for carriageway repairs

Discovering MacDonald Gill: Artist, Architect & MapmakerLecturer: Caroline WalkerAfter embarking on family history research in 2006, Caroline Walker became fascinated in the life and work of her great-uncle MacDonald ‘Max’ Gill (1884-1947), an architect and graphic artist, best known for his decorative maps.Well-known in his time, he was all but forgotten after his death, unlike his brother Eric Gill, the controversial sculptor who was based in Ditchling. Hear about how interest is growing in Max’s work and perhaps catch the exhibition about him at Ditchling Museum before 28th April 2019. Refreshments. Members free, Guests £6.

Dawn Chorus: the soundtrack to our livesImagine if we had to do it. Imagine that first thing every morning we had to stake a claim to our property by pulling on our dressing gowns, marching out onto our front lawns, taking a deep breath and singing a song. Sussex would awaken to an a cappella cacophony of show tunes, power ballads and rock anthems pouring from porches
and patios, backyards and balconies. And if you weren’t out there, patrolling your property with a raspy rendition of ‘Hey Jude’, your neighbours would assume you’d gone and they’d muscle in. If you overslept you’d wake to find Jeanette from two doors down screeching ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ on your doorstep and you’d have to see her off with your version of ‘River Deep, Mountain High’. Throughout March male birds are aggressively establishing their breeding territories. In the absence of bricks and barbed wire, their songs build the boundaries around their little bits of Sussex. It’s vital they sing every morning. After a day dodging cats, cars, windowpanes and sparrowhawks their defiant songs (think ‘I will survive’ meets ‘My way’) inform their neighbours that they’re still alive and they’re still king of the hill. Top of the heap. To our ears this warzone of warbles and whistles is a stirring celebration of the passing of winter and the arrival of spring, which fills our hearts with the promise of the summer to come. Bernstein, Britten, Beethoven and Brian Wilson rolled into one.
At the first hint of dawn, in the still, silent air, this free music festival begins. And what a line-up! Local duo Robin and Blackbird open the show with their laid-back, soulful crooning. Then that little bird with the big attitude, The Wren, cranks it up with his rockin’, rollin’ rattle. The symphony builds as the sun rises. We’re joined by a supergroup; CSD&G (Chaffinch, Song Thrush, Dunnock & Great Tit). For
our headliners, international singing sensations The Warblers (ft. Blackcap & Chiff-chaff) will be flying in from Africa to add their voices to this avian opera.
There’s another reason for this performance. Because if you’ve got enough spare time to stand around and sing then you must be good at finding food. So females flock to the lead singer – a familiar phenomenon (let’s face it, Jagger wouldn’t have charmed all those women if he’d been a dentist). So take a morning stroll in your local woodlands in March and enjoy this free performance.

HOST UK Lent AppealLent is traditionally a time of foregoing something, though there is also now a trend to mark the season by doing something, something extra thoughtful and special.
As we approach a time of joyful celebration in the Church calendar we ask if you might consider doing something for international relations… making a small but significant contribution towards greater understanding worldwide. Here at HOST our mission is to give a welcome to international students in British homes for friendship and cultural exchange. Our volunteer hosts open their homes and offer the opportunity to their student guests to have a break from studies and the chance to discover a new part of the UK. Hospitality can be offered for one day (daytime only) or three days and two nights at the weekend. We operate all year round and would very much welcome more volunteer hosts to join us.
More information can be found on our website: www.hostuk.org Or email us on: [email protected] or telephone us on: 020 7739 6292
