Here’s February’s Herald.
Throughout the next few months people, both old and young are invited to write short story about “borders” for Horningsea’s very own short story competition. You can read about it on the village website, and download the poster and entry form.
This month’s Herald also includes 2019’s calendar of events for both the HRA and the Church.
Do remember that there’s a public calendar of Horningsea events.
You can also add it to your own calendar directly.
Fran Johnstone (co-ordinator of the judges)
You are invited to enter the inaugural Horningsea Short Story Competition, so grab those pens or laptops and get writing! The competition winners will be announced and the prizes awarded at a book fair in the church on Saturday, June 8th. There are separate classes for young people and adults. See the competition rules and poster sent with the Herald for full details. All entries will be judged anonymously and the judges will be a team including several published authors (several of them judges or ex-judges in real life, thanks to Lindsay Davies’ connections!).
The competition is open to everyone, but we are hoping that at least some of the prizes are carried off by Horningsea talent.
The deadline is April 30th.
Looking forward to being impressed.

It’s also the AGM for the HRA on the 23rd. Come listen to what happened in 2018 and what will happen this year. Don’t be shy and come and join in.
Of special note to boaters, fisherman, kayakers and canoeists, SUPers, riparian land owners and any user of the river is that Tom Larnach, the River Manager of the Conservators of the River Cam, will be attending the Horningsea Parish Council meeting on the 30th January.

The HRA’s first event of 2019 is International Night. This is the postponed event from November, we all felt that we had plenty of social events at that time of year and that January needed something fun to look forward to. It is usually a super sociable evening and a chance celebrate the rich cultural diversity in our fantastic village.
This time International Night has been opened up to include all cuisines. So bring a dish of your favourite home cooked food from any nationality and lets enjoy a globe-trotting smorgasbord on the 19th.
BRING AND SHARE a dish of home cooked food from ANY nation’s cuisine. It can be sweet or savoury.
Please bring your own drinks and glasses. Plates and cutlery will be provided.
Entrance is free when you bring a dish (Without a dish: £7 adults, £2 children)
Wednesday, 23rd January, 19:30, Village Hall
The HRA is having its Annual General Meeting on the 23rd of January at 19:30 in the Village Hall.
It’s when we discuss the events of last year and plan the coming year.
All the village is invited and most welcome to listen to what happened during 2018 and get involved with what will be happening in 2019!
We’re always on the lookup for new committee members who want to get involved and help their village!
