East Dean with Friston Parish Magazine May 2020 online edition

This saves me a considerable amount of
money which reflects on the profit I can
pass on to The Bowling Club
Thank You, Frances Mace
Flying your drone
A drone was flown close to the shops one
evening recently. Please read the detailed
rules provided by the UK Civil Aviation
Authority’s Drone Code for fuller details,
https://dronesafe.uk/drone-code/ but
meanwhile:
Always keep your drone or model
aircraft in direct sight. Never fly
closer than 50m to people. Even when
your drone is more than 50m away
from people it is safer to avoid
directly overflying them.
Never fly closer than 50m to
buildings, cars, trains or boats.
Never fly closer than 150m to built-up
areas. Never fly directly over a builtup
area.
It is illegal to fly a drone or model

East Dean Sewing Team Rises to NHS
Challenges
Twelve sets of scrubs garments and 174
scrub bags have been made and donated
following the initiative of the East Sussex
Seamstresses www.sandbnhw.org/sew
An email request for unwanted sheets via
East Dean and Friston Residents’
Association was coordinated by former
textiles teacher Karen Wintle and yielded
generous donations from the village.
Cutting, preparing, making and record
keeping quickly took place. Emails arrived
thick and fast with offers of help and further
donations of fabric and haberdashery.
Within two days, a sewing team of thirteen
willing helpers was established and soon
finished items were collected ready for
distribution by ESS to local NHS contacts. It
was a privilege to be part of a local team
using skills and talents to help within the
current situation and to feel that we may
somehow be making a difference for the
NHS in East Sussex.
Twenty two of the bags have been given to
local nurse Charlie; these will be distributed
to her nursing colleagues at Lewes hospital.
They will go to the intermediate care unit.
At the moment the unit is being used to care
for those who are dying due to COVID19.
The exceptional team of makers included
Annie, Davina, Debbie, Deborah, Jackie,
Jackie C, Jan, Jane, Jo, Jolanda, Judith,
Karen, Sara, Sue, Sharon for deliveries and
everyone in the village for being generous
with donations of items and goodwill in
support of this initiative. Thank you.
Karen Wintle
