So very good to see the restoration of the Bells at St John’s Piddinghoe win an Award. A fantastic project with Blyth & Co, bell specialists, The National Lottery Heritage Fund support made this possible. Much more info on our website: piddinghoechurch.org

Paul Darling could not have been more supportive or helpful to me when I joined the BGC - he was chairman of the ABB. Delightful, charming, fiercely intelligent and yet gave so much to racing, sports ground safety and many other causes - we will all miss him.

Can you help me save our village hall in Piddinghoe? We have a time limited grant from the Platinum Jubilee Fund which we will lose if we don’t raise £31,700 by 31st October. Village halls are so important to communities. gofund.me/5c69877f

So, now the target is £9,200 in a week! We have done so well, if you have any Trusts that might help, please do!

In a constituency brewery with ⁦Rachel Reeves⁩ in 2019, she supported brewing and pubs, so great to see the Budget cut in draft beer duty, but read excellent article by Tim Dewey, ⁦Timothy Taylor's Brewery⁩ Times Politics⁩. Less regulation by Govt essential for growth.

Thank you ⁦⁦The Tourism Alliance⁩ ⁦British Beer & Pub Association⁩ for your gifts as I stepped down from the board after 20 years. A vital industry, so good to hear a positive speech ⁦Department for Culture, Media and Sport⁩ ⁦Chris Bryant⁩. Thank you ⁦Rachel Reeves⁩ for signing a very special book!

Well done John Healey British Beer is world renowned and pubs at the heart of all our communities. How many ideas and relationships were born in a pub and so many good conversations too. British Beer & Pub Association

Thank you to everyone who has helped us raise £174,000. Work starts on Piddinghoe Village Hall next week. More fundraising needed, but for a small village of 250 people, the hall built pre 1918, now cold, damp and crumbling will be transformed! piddinghoe-pc.org.uk/village-hall-r….

An excellent interview with Sarah Woolger on BBC Radio Sussex this morning. Work starts today on Piddinghoe Village Hall, but we still need more funding to complete our MasterPlan

I am so very sorry Joe, you were a pleasure to work with at the BHA, did everything you could to bring all the interlinking interests of racing together. You will be very much missed. You have always been so brave, I will be thinking of you.

I have known Dan for many years, a wonderful, caring, kind & professional office colleague for Mike Wood, such a supporter of British Beer & Pub Association The All-Party Parliamentary Pub Group. So difficult to believe that brain tumour & cancer have returned - so well worth supporting gofundme.com/f/dans-final-c…
