JUMBLE SALES
Farewell to Sheila
+ Christine.
After many years of hard work, Sheila Lovett
and Christine Hurn are retiring from running
jumble sales at Bighton Village Hall. Over
the years they have raised thousands of
pounds in aid of the hall, and been involved
in every aspect of the work, from recruiting
help, advertising, accepting donations,
sorting, setting up, selling, clearing up
afterwards and disposing of unsaleable
goods. And every time, they have been

and Sheila’ in this and previous village
magazines. On behalf of Bighton Village
Hall, we thank them for all their hard work
and wish them a well-deserved rest. They’ll
be a hard act to follow.
