Saturday 21st is the day of the Annual Community Litter Pick.
We are meeting in The Red Lion Car Park for 10.00am and aim to be complete by 12.00 noon. As before we will be supplying rubbish sacks, litter picks and some high viz jackets and gloves. Wealden DC has agreed to pick up the spoils from the end of Catslide drive on the following Monday or Tuesday. Neil has again volunteered to be out and about with the warning signs and will pick up the filled sacks from the verges and take them to Catslide. This is a huge help as it avoids the need for us to lug heavy sacks and other, large items around. The most bags we have filled in the past is 28. Larger items such as tyres, oil drums, mattresses etc came separately. Last year the tally was 23 bags plus mudguards, wheels and other vehicle detritus. Perhaps fewer bags come as a result of all your hard work clearing? It is well know that litter attracts litter.
So, we hope to see you on 21st. If you are new to this you will be surprised at how competitive we all get......... it's actually quite a fun morning! Warm regards HVCG.
Coffee Mornings
Our next will be held at the beautiful Church of St Oswald's Hooe on Saturday March 14th 2026 at 10:30. We look forward to seeing you then.

Would you like to get involved?
As many of you know, HVCG was formed in early 2022 as an Unincorporated Association with a (brief!) written constitution, and with the aim to “encourage, promote, and support village activities”. We hold Public Liability Insurance for the events which we organise such as the monthly coffee mornings, the biennial Open Gardens and the annual village litter pick and help at the annual Church Garden Party at St. Oswald’s.
Prior to the formation of HVCG the same group of people, with help from others in the village, organised the coffee mornings, previously held in the village hall, which began in 2017. Anyone who would like to help out at the coffee mornings on an ad hoc basis or provide a homemade cake is always welcome.
