Little Common Community centre hosted the British Heart Foundation Bexhill Branch Spring Fayre and their varied stalls had much on offer. These included a popular home-made cake and preserve stall selling scrumptious delights including cheese & walnut bites, jam tarts, sponge and fruit cakes, lemon curd and jams '“ all thanks to the dedication and culinary skills of the BHF volunteers.

One long-serving BHF volunteer, Connie Taylor, who will be celebrating her ninetieth birthday later this month has been supporting the BHF for over twenty years.

Green-fingered Connie, along with the combined efforts of Robert Knights, put on a splendid display on the plant stall, selling a variety of indoor and outdoor plants and vegetables.

DVD's, books, paintings, a raffle, two tombola's and refreshments of teas and coffees were also available and a total of 479 was raised for the British Heart Foundation.
