Autumn leaves have been falling but not the much needed rain to re-fill the region’s water resources.
As a result, South East Water is planning ahead to manage its water resources both this Winter and, crucially, ahead of next Spring and Summer, when customer demand for water will rise.
At this stage it cannot rule out drought permits, which would allow it to take more water from local rivers to fill its reservoirs, or possible water restrictions next Spring.
The last 12 months (October 2010 to October 2011) have been the driest since 1976 in the South East region, while the onset of Autumn was replaced by a late ‘Indian Summer’. October was one of the warmest months on record, according to the Met Office.
We aimto encourage friendships between families, schools, clubs and groups in Forest Row ( and the surrounding area) and our twinning village of Milly La Foret in France. With annual visits between our villages where we stay with member hosts, our Fun Day and many other social events we encourage younger members and their families to join us as the future is theirs.
We organise many social events throughout the year: music, choral, barn dance, French wine and cheese, dinner annually, funday on Foresters Green, trips to France to Milly-la-Forêt, plus many others. We all have a lot of fun... even when some of us cannot speak each others' languages.
