Race Night Postponement
We are disappointed to announce the cancellation of our Race Night scheduled for Saturday 23rd Oct at the Village Hall. We were taken aback with the generous support of so many – all the races and horses were sold and Julian Michaelson-Yeates was busily preparing a delicious curry for an expected eighty people. Unfortunately, the take-up of bookings did not match our optimism and with such a low number, we decided to cancel. There may be several reasons to explain this but we suspect that continued anxiety about gathering in a confined indoor space with others was a real issue.
We have re-scheduled the Race Night for Saturday 26th March 2022. Thanks for your continued support for our new hall and please continue to visit our website and Facebook pages to keep in touch with our progress.
Best wishes,
Bob Lake on behalf of HDCC

Hadlow Down Book Club Review -August 2021
In August the Book Club always takes a break and members read their own choice of book and bring back recommendations to the group. We certainly had a diverse and interesting selection and I for one can’t wait to start reading some of them.
To start with some vintage World War novels, ‘Death of a Hero’ (1929) was written by Richard Aldington and based on his own first-hand experience of World War 1. It is sometimes considered the greatest of all novels about that War and makes a scalding critique of those pre-war voices that helped to make that global catastrophe inevitable. It is that very anger that made this a fascinating read. Nigel Balchin was a psychologist, a writer and deputy scientific adviser to the Army Council. Like Aldington he writes from first-hand knowledge in ‘Darkness Falls from the Air’ (1942) a vivid account of living through the blitz and ‘Small Back Room’ (1943) a story of the backroom boys. Of their time, they are readable, informative and vivid.
