Christmas is coming with Lindfield Lights Trail
By Lindfield PTA
Lindfield Primary Academy is very excited to announce its Lindfield Lights Trail which will run 12th-20th December. The trail is open for everybody to take part.
All you need to do is collect your map from either Field & Forest, Slake, Lindfield Coffee Works or Somers and leave a donation there for the school if you can.
Why not grab a hot drink whilst pondering over which way you’ll go. The houses that have opted to take part will ensure their lights are on between 4pm-7pm every day.
Along the trail, there will be letters for you to find and unscramble to make a word. Once you have the answer, this can be entered into a prize draw. See map for full details.
If you take part in our trail, we would love to see your photos shared on Facebook and Instagram, using hashtag #LPALindfieldLights
Thank you in advance to all the locations featured on our map, to the venues distributing the maps and to everybody who donate towards it too. Plus a big thank you to Brett Hudson for the beautiful illustrations and map he has created for us. We cannot wait to see all the Lindfield Lights!
Denmans Lane Dash 2017 - photo round-up
By Ray Gower
I was quite overwhelmed on Boxing Day by the number of people who turned up to compete and watch the third Denmans Lane Dash. I was hoping for a few more competitors this year but we doubled it. I was genuinely blown away.
I was also impressed by the entrants who made a great effort with their fancy dress.
They got into the spirit of what the Denmans Lane Dash is and that is purely a fun event to give the local community something to do for an hour or two on Boxing Day.
I set the Dash up to give my friends and family a laugh and to get out of the house. I then thought it would be nice to open it up to the local community. This year proved that it is something people want, based on the wonderful compliments I received.
We were lucky with the weather again this year. The rain held off until just after the run when people had returned home.
It was a great race with more ladies taking part this year which was wonderful to see.

How we made our Kipper Christmas Card
We always like to send our customers and raving fans a little card to say how much we appreciate their support throughout the year. Christmas is a fantastic time to say this.
And so, we start to think about what our card will look like in October.
This is how we did it...
