If you are considering coming along to enjoy some time with us at the May Country Break  (19th—23rd May) and/or the September Country Break (15th—19th )September,  give Maggie a call to discuss.  May and September are very often the most pleasing months as far as the reliability of English weather is concerned and our grounds  always look a picture, whatever time of year, thanks to Will, the Groundsman.
Text Box: Patter of feet Tamas (our No. 2 Chef) and his wife Priszcilla (recently Team Leader in the Dining Room) are shortly expecting the birth of their first child. The Hungarian couple lodged here at the Hall while searching for a new home but are now safely installed in their flat in Eastbourne. We are all waiting excitedly for the arrival of our new little pilgrim.

Making exhibitions of ourselves

 

We will be exhibiting once again at the Christian Resources Exhibition at Sandown Park from 13th – 16th May this year.  If you go along you will meet Jasmine, our Bookings Manager, at the stand, but also Michael and Maggie and various members of our Trustees visit.  We will be occupying Stand P52 in the Pavilion and we are always glad to see a friendly face, so join us  for a cup of coffee and a home made biscuit!  

Hidden talents

 

After our usual delicious Staff Christmas Lunch held in the Baronial Hall, it was time for staff to volunteer to “perform” something in the way of light entertainment.  There followed a poem or two, a short amusing skit with staff in costume, a couple of beautiful Hungarian songs, bravely sung by Gabi, one of the volunteers and then, out of the blue, up stood quiet, unassuming Tamas and with a deep brown voice entranced us all with a traditional Russian song.  Who would have guessed such talent was hidden and undiscovered amidst our staff!

Text Box: Cream Teas With the milder weather and the opportunity to get out and enjoy the fresh air, why not book an outing to Pilgrim Hall, with family, friends, or your church, to enjoy one of our delicious cream teas. The warm and mouth watering home made scones, with jam and cream and copious amounts of tea, all served on white tablecloths from white china are a delightful treat. The office ladies try to do regular quality control checks to ensure that this oh-so-English tradition maintains a high standard of excellence. Ring Jasmine to book your table now.

A serious note

 

We recently hosted a Public Inquiry on behalf of Wealden District Council on the contentious subject of local housing plans.  We would like to think that the peaceful atmosphere and the amiability and calmness of our staff contributed to what could have been a quite fraught event.  Our discretion prohibits us divulging any further details!
