The session takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the number of teams. Please join in and help to keep the village clean. Gloves, bags and pickers will be provided but please wear a hi-vis jacket or vest. Come and pick some litter with the Dicker Litter Pickers.

DICKER DAY: The sun shone, the band played and Dicker Day 2017 got off to a flying start thanks to the Hailsham Town Crier who opened proceedings. This year we had two different styles of band, the Harmonie Concert Band and the Americana blues duo Strum ‘n’ Bass plus local girl, Millie Cranston, who sang several contemporary numbers. Events were introduced by a lively compere, David Farey (aka the Vicar). There was plenty to eat and drink, stalls to visit including 1066 Falconry, races to be run as well as lots of prizes in the raffle and tombola plus the huge barrow of booze on the Parkmead School stall. A big thank you to all those who gave so much time and energy to make Dicker Day happen. Special mention to Rachael Woollett, Leigh Bennett, Nick Hicks and Nicola Hawkins from Bede’s who organised and provided vital equipment and cut the grass. Also thanks to Dave Radtke, Ant Cranston and Graham Hobden for their muscle power in setting up and taking down stalls, bales etc. Thanks to Tess at the Village Shop for the donation of prizes. We look forward to seeing you next year on Sunday 24th June.
