After an amazing 11 days of the Commonwealth Games in the West Midlands and a massive medal haul of 74 medals for team England & much more success for those representing other UK nations. Huge congratulations to all the fantastic medal winners and athletes who have taken part and to anyone who has supported the competitors prior to and across these games. A special shout out must go to Tess Howard, Ellie Rayer and Laura Unsworth, of the excellent East Grinstead Hockey Club, who won Gold Medals as part of the Women’s Hockey Team. A fantastic and well-deserved achievement.

The NFU have launched a new award this year, the ‘Community Farming Hero’. This award is aimed at a farmer that has gone above and beyond.

Let me know which Farmer you would like to nominate in Mid Sussex, and why, to my email as above by noon Thursday 18th August 2022.
