HORNTYE PARK CRICKET – Horntye Park played host to Lashings World XI on Thursday 7th August, playing against Hastings Priory CC and Bexhill CC in the 7th 1066 Sporting Club Challenge. About 700 people watched some of the world’s greatest players. It was a victory for the Lashings team, and the results were as follows: Lashings vs Bexhill: Lashings win by 50 runs. Hastings vs Bexhill: Hastings win by 5 wickets. Hastings vs Lashings: Lashings win by 49 runs. West Indian cricketing legend Alvin Kallicharren, manager of Lashings, told the Voice, “It’s fantastic to be in Hastings on such a wonderful day. Twenty20 cricket is really going well. People aren’t bored; they’re really enjoying it.”  Horntye’s Kevin Miller, added, “We had lovely weather, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. There was never a dull moment; it flowed from start to finish.”

MIKE BAKER – local mathematics tutor Mike Baker’s logo (see right) is a clever collection of the letters of his surname. But do the symbols actually have any meaning? ‘Yes’, says Mike, ‘the formula represents an exponential series for biological growth and can for instance, be used to calculate the return on an investment of a certain sum of money each month; ‘e’ is a natural constant, found in many biological and other situations’. Ah, right, now we know.
ST PETER’S CHURCH – the minibus which was reported stolen in our last issue, was recovered at 4am in Mount Pleasant Road. The driver’s seat had been set on fire which caused so much damage the vehicle has been written off by the insurers. Father Alex says ‘It’s a terrible shame, a big tragedy. Lack of funds means there are no plans to buy another bus’. Positive news is that the sandstone wall at the front of the church has been rebuilt – at a cost of £2,000, mostly paid by the insurers.
ST MATTHEWS CHURCH – has recently relaunched its website to a very high standard. It has many attractive features, such as what’s on and when, maps, jokes, staff profiles, answers to important questions; and some recent sermons including one by Bishop Ken Barham and one by Edward Towner. Well worth a visit! Website: www.stmatts.co.uk
DRIPPING SPRING – managers Joan & Robin are on the lookout for photos of old Bohemia. Having decorated the outside of the pub, they are busy on the inside and they think some pictures of old Bohemia will add that finishing touch.
