Viva Lewes Issue #134 November 2017

BITS AND BOBS
PATINA LANTERNS
Fundraising is already underway
for next year’s Moving
On Parade, the noisy
march of the region’s year
sixes, before they progress
to secondary school. The
parade is organised, as ever,
by the parents and teachers’
group Patina. And as usual the group is helping to make the high street a more colourful place over Christmas,
by renting out their popular willow-and-tissue lanterns for shopkeepers to put in their windows, thus helping
generate a little more of that festive feeling for passers-by. Prices start at £20 for the 50cm-diameter Shining
Star lantern and rise to £35 for the up-to-80cm Large Christmas Tree Lantern. There’s a new lantern, in the
fold, too, the Awesome Owl (up-to-70cm, £35). The price is for a month’s rent and includes an LED light: all
proceeds go to Patina, contact patinalewes@gmail.com to order ASAP.
Meanwhile Astbury Solicitors are joining the cause, too, with a generous offer on their wills. They will dedicate
half the fee from the writing of ten wills to Patina: customers should quote ‘Patina 2018’ when making their
enquiry to John Astbury (jastbury@astburys-law.co.uk).
