A couple for the diary now –

There will be a display of Her Majesty the Queens fashionable dresses. These will span from the Queens childhood to the present day. The cost for the day will be £33.00 and if you are interested please contact 880457.

Bonfire: We are now less than a month away from Robertsbridge Bonfire Night and there is still a need for marshals and collectors. If you are interested or know someone that is please help out, as these are very important jobs on the night. Ring Sandie on 880977 or go in and see her or even Face book her or the Bonfire Society Face book page.

FOOTBALL: The Bridge 2nd team gave their worst performance of the season away to Macron East Sussex Football League Division 5 basement team Sedlescombe Rangers III. Rangers took the lead after just 8 minutes when The Bridge defence failed to clear but 3 minutes before the break a free kick 20 yards out saw Justin Hardy’ low cross find defender Shaun Colvin who smashed the ball home from 10 yards. The second period was the worst I’ve seen them play all season and the hosts got their winner on 71 minutes with a header that Bridge keeper Nick Townsend misjudged to allow Rangers to take all three points. Tomorrow the 2nd team are at home to Westfield III K.O. 3p.m.

FRIDAY DARTS: Our season should have started tonight with an away match at The Millers but once again they have told the league that they cannot get a team because of it being half term so the league have decided to re-arrange the fixture.
