Lots of news from the Playing Field this week: The most immediate being Catsfield School's sports day today at 1.30pm, everyone is welcome to come along and watch the fun and efforts they all put in. This is followed by the now-traditional cricket match between the school team and the cricket club. The match will start at 5.30ish and both teams are keen to take part in what will be Jonathan Elm's last fixture as Deputy Head of the School before he moves on. We wish him well.

Saturday a Bexhill team is playing a league match on the field, followed on Sunday by our village team’s fixture against another Bexhill side. Three wickets are having to be prepared by our volunteer groundsman who will also be involved in helping at the Queen’s birthday lunch in support of the WI and then, of course, watching England play their first Euro match on the television, if he is still awake.
