Ashdown Weekend There is not an Ashdown Ball this year - but the fun run is going ahead. 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. Following the decision made in 2009, the Ashdown Weekend is now a biannual event; and the next Ashdown Weekend will be in 2012. We are very pleased to be able to announce the 2011 Ashdown Fun-Run; this will take place on Saturday 18th June 2011. For full details click on the Fun-Run link above.
