When in a group, advice is that face coverings still be worn to protect yourself and others. Please continue to REGISTER when attending the market site. We all have to learn to live with the corona virus in future and take steps to reduce the risk of an outbreak and possibly market closure. We therefore ask that all customers co-operate and continue to respect the rules to ensure our livestock markets can remain open at this busy and vital time of year. We ask that all prospective buyers sanitise on entry to the market and again on exiting the market. Disposable masks, gloves will be available to all. Buyers on collecting their invoices from the market office do so only by adopting the two metre rule - we ask simply that only one purchaser should collect their invoice in the usual area, queuing 2 metres apart. Both vendors and buyers are permitted to attend livestock sales. If at all possible, ONLY bona-fide buyers allowed in the pen allies. Specific to Store Cattle Sales: Should any Store Cattle vendor wish South East Marts will facetime/video call the producer when their cattle are being offered through the auction ring so they can be party to sales from a safe distance. Vendors and Buyers please abide by these regulations, do not jeopardise the continuation of Livestock Auctions during these difficult times. Remember SOCIAL DISTANCING where possible & stay 2 METRES APART. We all wish to stay in business and we all wish to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection.

Support can also be given to family dependants. Beneficiaries are normally resident in East Sussex or neighbouring counties. Income from property and investment legacies help to finance the fund in addition to generous donations, the fund is overseen by five local trustees with strong agricultural connections. Help can be for those currently in work, or who have retired or who are unable to work due to illness or disability. The fund can also assist those entering land-based education and help with relevant CPD for furthering land-based careers. If you feel that we can help or you are aware of someone who might be experiencing difficulties we will be pleased to support. Please contact the Honorary Secretary of the Benevolent Fund.
