RESID5-62 Petworth Page Advert_AW.indd 1 18/12/2019 12:03 Editor’s welcome The first signs of Spring are starting to show including the lighter evenings. The better weather and longer days brings the opportunity to enjoy everything that the outdoors has to offer. There is so much to get involved with for all ages in the area, lots of events coming up in the Spring/Summer and new activities to try. In May we mark the 75th Anniversary of VE day and Petworth has a special weekend planned for all the community (page 4). Our gardeners are hard at work with preparations for summer events and they are always in need of help leading up to the events, and on the day, so find out how you can get involved on page 8. Climate change is on all our minds and the children at Petworth Primary School have been doing their bit to make a difference – read about this on page 26. The summer edition of Petworth Pages drops through doors at the end of May so if you have anything you would like to include please get in touch by 10 April (details below). Kerry
