How many of us give thought to those who have given their time and a huge amount of effort to make these events happen? Some that come to mind include the Apple Fair, Sissinghurst Village Fete and Cranbrook Goes Nuts in May; the Cranbrook Family Fun Day was cancelled this year because of a lack of volunteers. In this edition of Parish Cake, the Cranbrook Tourism Group has put out a call to the community to support a number local contents REGULARS 5 Directory & What’s On 7 Chairman’s Views 8 Letters 10 Parish News 11 Crane Valley Land Trust News 14 Club News 18 Event News 22 Schools News 24 Short Story 48 Parish Council Round-up attractions by volunteering (see the news pages) – even for just an hour or so a week. Perhaps you might give second thoughts to some local, and may I suggest enjoyable, volunteering yourself. In this issue we include some special WWI 100 year commemorative features. Turn to pages 38-41 for more, including the special activities the parish has planned for the 11 November.
