Ashdown Weekend Thirty eight years ago, the very first Ashdown Fair programme stated that the chief objective of the whole event is to give parishioners the opportunity of working together in acommon project and to provide events to interest all... Many years later these are still the main aims of The Ashdown Weekend. The ‘Weekend’ is now spread over four days. We are able to cater for even more interests and all ages. It was originally agreed that any proceeds from The Weekend would be put back into parish organisations, and this has been augmented to include local charities. |

Every organisation in the locality has benefited at some time over the past 38 years; children’s groups, the Good Companions, football and cricket clubs, local schools, charitable bodies and many more have all received financial support. We are delighted to announce that the 2010 Ashdown Weekend dates are 10th-13th June 2010, with the Ashdown Ball being held in the marquee on Saturday 12th June. For those who took part in, or encouraged the participants of, the 2009 Fun Run on the Ashdown Forest we are pleased to be able to tell you that this event will be taking place on Sunday 6th June - the week before the ball - from Chelwood Gate. Information on all Ashdown events can be found on this website. Graeme Love & Simon Briggs Joint Chairmen,
