Congratulations on a superb season......in 40 years of watching BHA, i can't recall a better performance that you put in against the mancs last week (bloody shame you couldn't put Leeds down though!!!) However, my lot lock horns with you on Sunday. Nothing would please me more than to pip the...

Greetings. I'm looking for volunteers who would like to give up 3 hours of their week to help keep the Rose garden in Preston Park looking pristine. Unfortunately due to lock down and restrictions on groups, the rose garden has suffered with lack of weeding and dead heading. I'd like to get...

Took the Doris for a slap up breakfast on Sunday morning in Wetherspoons (yeah she's a lucky girl). Parked in Asda for 1 hour, 36 minutes and got a bloody PCN for £70. On the back of the notice, it says parking is free for 3 hours (i did do some shopping in Asda) Anyone else ever had a dodgy...

Anyone go? Looking to find a decent campsite for mid August within a 2 hour drive of Lewes/Brighton. Here's the criteria. There's 13 adults and 2 children and a dog made up of 5 families We'd need 10 pitches although we could reduce that. Showers and bogs essential Site shop, pub in...

I know this is a UK issue but i'm only interested in what happens in Brighton and Hove. This week saw 11 tons of litter removed from Brighton beach, our parks are in a disgusting state with staff having to start at 5am and spend all day clearing other people's rubbish. Bigger bins are not the...

In 2016, my beloved Rockery opposite Preston Park was voted best garden in England. I have a wonderful evening collecting the accolade at Lords Cricket ground from Graeme LeSaux and it was largely down to you guys for voting for us. Someone has nominated us again so i'd love to give it another...

Dear North Stand Chatters. Is anyone at a loose end on a Tuesday morning? Do you fancy helping out for a few hours to maintain the Rose Garden in Preston Park to a high standard? I’m looking for around a dozen people to come and volunteer with me from 10am to 1pm every Tuesday. Work will...

Greetings. As some of you know, i'm the Garden Manager of the Rockery opposite Preston Park. With the help of my volunteer group, community payback guys and my now retired manager, Jack Straw, we've turned the garden into a beautiful, award winning garden that i'm very proud of. However...

Good morning. The woodland trust are doing a "tree of the year" competition and one of the huge English Elms in the north west corner of Preston Park is nominated. Would love a local park to get another award so if you can vote, it would be much appreciated...

Any suggestions for a nice, sit in, fish and chip shop in Brighton or anywhere within 10 miles of Lewes ? Cheers.

Good morning. Was wondering if you lovely people could sign the petition to help keep our valuable parks and green spaces funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund to protect and improve them for the future. Dear Colleagues The following is regarding the Petition by The Parks Alliance to keep...

Rumours on the WH forum that you're close to signing him. http://kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=170296&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=4040 (jinxed is a highly respected "in the know") Would be very sorry to see him go...a typical blood and thunder defender, but he is getting on a bit and injury prone.

This time last year, many of you voted for the garden i look after, the Rockery and we became best park/garden in England. Now it's time for a new vote. I'm not entering the Rockery this year but Preston Park (which the Rockery is part of) is being entered. Can all you lovely people follow the...

I've permission to build an 8 x 4 00 gauge model railway in the shed. It'll be cladded out to stop any condensation and have decent security. Anyone else partake? Any local clubs worth joining or shops worth visiting? Always wanted to do this but starting completely from scratch as a...
