Welcome
Baxter’s Field is owned by the charity for use by the community and visitors.
The aim is to preserve and develop this beautiful open space, in the centre of Lewes, for recreation and nature.
If planning to use it for a party or picnic do check in advance that it is open, as it is occasionally hired out to raise funds for maintenance.
Please be aware that members of the public are not insured for any snow related activity e.g. sledging: they participate at their own risk.
NEWS
Here is the first section of our lovely new railings, newly installed. Now help us to raise funds to complete the remaning sections! There is an interesting article about the work on the railings at Glynde Forge on the News page of the Sussex Gardens Trust website here.
Many thanks to all those who came to the Baxter’s Field Annual General Meeting on 19 June – and to those who were unable to be there and sent their apologies.
At the meeting MATTHEW STUART was relected as a director / trustee (he had stood down as one third of the directors / trustees must stand down each year).
We are delighted to welcome the following who were elected as new directors / trustees : ZOE FISHER, STEPHEN KELLY, PENNY MOON, CHRISTY PETERS.
Our next fund raising event is a bric a bac and book sale at the Waterloo Bonfire Society Fête in the Paddock on Sunday July 13.
Please bring suitable items for the sale to 17 Bradford Road after July 7
Many thanks for all the help given by Men’s Shed members in mending benches and making a new notice board using our polycarbonate ‘ windows’. Tim and Bert mended the bench, and the photo shows them carrying the board into the Field.
Baxter’s Field really appreciates this connection with another community group - volunteers!
