Contact: 0843 289 6529

Hi

The Southwark Neighbourhood Watch Association would like your TRA to add the title “Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator” to what you do already.

You care about your street and your Estate and your neighbours, that’s Neighbourhood Watch!

With Neighbourhood Watch on your letterhead you’ll be the first to know what the Police know about the streets where you live. You’ll be the first to hear new ideas about keeping safe.

As a Neighbourhood Watch TRA you and your neighbours can directly give your police point of contact information that might help them save lives and property and help improve people’s quality of life as well.

Organising and registering a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme means you and your neighbours get “FREE Event Insurance” when you hold an event like a street party. It also means that you can ask your home insurer for a possible reduction in your Contents Insurance premium.

When you join NHW as a TRA you are joining the largest UK Charity.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you want to sign up. We’ll come to your next meeting with a very short presentation.

Thank you!

With Warm Regards,

Marcus Suitor

Secretary

Kent & East Sussex Railway.

KESR_6619_launch

The Kent and East Sussex Railway in Tenterden is a must for Steam Railway enthusiasts. The country’s finest example of a rural light railway. Opened in 1900 the steam and heritage diesel trains now run along ten and a half miles of track through the beautiful unspoilt Kent and East Sussex countryside from Tenterden in Kent to Rolvenden, Northiam and on to Bodiam in East Sussex where you will find the stunning National Trust castle.

Bodiam Castle in East Sussex.

Bodiam-Castle

Bodiam Castle is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years’ War. Of quadrangular plan, Bodiam Castle has no keep, having its various chambers built around the outer defensive walls and inner courts. Its corners and entrance are marked by towers, and topped by crenellations. Its structure, details and situation in an artificial watery landscape indicate that display was an important aspect of the castle’s design as well as defence. It was the home of the Dalyngrigge family and the centre of the manor of Bodiam. The castle is protected as a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Monument. It has been owned by The National Trust since 1925, donated by Lord Curzon on his death, and is open to the public.
