The month of my Charity Ball! 160 tickets sold in less than 18 hours, and we even had a waiting list. It was hosted by the beautiful Ashdown Park Hotel, and on the night, we raised over £15,000 for the QVH Charity. Thank you to all who attended and helped make it so special.

Another exciting event was the re-opening of the water fountain on the High Street by the East Grinstead Society. Well done to all involved in this historic event.

Another historic event was the Bluebell Railway’s opening of their first disabled-access Pullman carriage. It took over four years to restore and is beautiful.

The bus day in the High Street is always fun and attracts a crowd of all ages.

I had the pleasure of attending another 100th birthday for a long-time town resident. I always love hearing their stories and seeing the pride in their families’ faces.

One of my last events of the month was the Jigsaw Charity Ball, it was lovely event and has helped raise much needed funds for the charity.
