Forest School, based on a Scandinavian concept, is a fast-growing national inspirational process, that offers learners of all ages regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees. It supports the development of a relationship between the learner and the natural world.
'Wild about the Wood' Forest School Playgroup has just been established by locally-based Karen Milner who will be running 2 hour sessions throughout May at the Furzefield Scout Camp land in Dappers Lane for pre-school children and their parents. In its very first session this Tuesday (26 April), the children who attended really enjoyed the freedom and experience of the woods and having hot chocolate around the fire they helped to light. The aim is for children to enjoy exploring the safe woodland, play games, be creative, and have fun while learning new skills in a supportive group.
Karen is an experienced and qualified Forest School leader, with First Aid training and DBS clearance. For further details of the sessions which Karen is running (costs, contact details, bookings, etc) click here.

The Exhibition of the proposed 175 new homes by Rydon Homes / Gleeson Strategic Developments in the Village Hall on Tuesday 19 April led to many villagers wishing to make comments on the proposals. The larger site for the proposed dwellings is on the south side of Water Lane joined by a corridor road to another smaller site to the east of Weavers Hill. Vehicular traffic would all exit onto Water Lane just north of Avenals Farm.
The types or designs of the proposed houses were not revealed by the exhibitors but, when questioned about prices, they stated that "they would be in line with market forces".
Some attendees completed feedback forms while others intended sending their comments later by email to the Exhibition organisers, Pro Vision. Unfortunately, the email address provided by Pro Vision did not work. However, we are now informed that the correct email address is feedback@pvprojects.com . "Angmering" should be included in the subject line.
For those who were unable to attend the Exhibition and for those who wish to refresh their memories on the proposals, you can see a display of all the Exhibition boards by clicking here (pdf file)

At the Public Consultation today (Wednesday) in the Village Hall, West Sussex County Council and Angmering Parish Council presented their proposals for traffic management through the village. This largely comprises 17 pairs of speed cushions and 7 raised speed tables. The map below shows the positions of the speed cushions (orange) and speed tables (purple).
It is a matter of regret that neither WSCC nor APC was able to provide forms to allow people to easily make their comments known and provide feedback on the proposals.
The long-awaited proposals for the changes to traffic flow through the village are now ready for residents to see, and will be on display in the King Suite of Angmering Village Hall from 10 am to 5pm on Wednesday 20th April 2016. You will be able to see the arrangements of speed tables and pairs of speed pillows that are proposed to be put in place throughout the lengths of Station Road and Water Lane.
WSCC Highways officers and Parish Council representatives will be there to discuss the proposals, so go along and let them know what you think.
