Following a very well-attended AGM last month, HBS is in fine form and looking forward to this year’s various fundraising events in the run-up to HB23! Many thanks to those who have taken on their new roles and also to those that have decided to take a back seat for a well-earned rest!
Our Annual General Meeting is due to take place on the 24th January at the Hailsham Cricket Pavilion. 7pm. All members and well wishers welcome!
Just a few days until the streets of Hailsham are alive with Music, Drums, Fire, and Fun! We still have a few programmes available so look out for our members selling them throughout the next few days.

With the year quickly passing and having received continued permission for the use of the recreation ground from Hailsham Town Council, Bonfire Night looks set to be another big night in the towns calendar! The membership is now very active with attending fairs and events to raise the required funds to enable us to stage this years celebrations.
Torch making is due to start in the next few days too, with only 1600 to go! We are very grateful to Parkers Building Supplies for the supply of this years torch sticks, we’d be a rather dark event without these……………….
