Stop press. As Crowborough is still icy, this Saturday's game won't be played at the Tester & Jones Sportsground after all.

This Saturdays match has been reversed and will now take place at Saltdean Utd. With Crowborough still resembling the Antarctic it makes sense to switch it now and play some football.

Many thanks to all for helping arrange the switch's

Today is JRR Tolkien Day and, to celebrate, here's some wisdom told to the the hobbit, Frodo Baggins (cousin of Bilbo).

“It's like in the great stories, Mr Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer."

We know that our amazing Bereavement Group (the BGs) will have been busy messaging each other and making phone calls over the past few days. They are incredible at supporting each other.

Today is National Call A Friend Day. Why not sit down with a cup of tea and a mince pie and call somebody who you know might have found Christmas hard this year.
