Cuckoo Fayre - 6th May 2024 - CANCELLED!

2024 Cuckoo Fayre cancelled due to torrential rain

The organisers of Cuckoo Fayre announced on Facebook at 8am, the decision to cancel this year’s Cuckoo Fayre. “We’re a hardy bunch,” the statement said, “but there’s simply no way we can get vehicles onto Cuckfield Recreation Ground today. We’d like to say a big thank to everyone involved and hope everyone can join us again next year.”

The Cuckoo Fayre, organised by The Independent State of Cuckfield, returns to Cuckfield Recreation Ground (behind Queen’s Hall) on Bank Holiday Monday 6th May. There will be stalls galore selling all sorts of goodies, refreshments and food including a fully licensed bar, burgers, hot dogs, Italian and Caribbean specialities, gourmet coffees and sweet treats. The ever-popular dog show with classes for all shapes and sizes will keep the dog lovers among you entertained. Music fans can enjoy live music and don’t forget the Tug of War competition (entries are invited for teams of six). The Cuckoo Fayre is a great day out for all the family. Follow The Independent State of Cuckfield on Facebook for the latest news, and, if you would like to book a stall, please email: info@cuckfieldstate.org.

The Cuckfield Society – Notes from the AGM

General Update

The Cuckfield Society held a lively, well attended AGM at the Queens Hall on 18th April. This was the first AGM since the 2018 results were disseminated in August 2019. The long gap being largely due to the pandemic, lockdowns and being rather busy with such a depleted committee. At the last AGM, our chairman, Paul Mantripp requested additional committee help from the members and also asked for feedback on the future of the Society. There was no response and therefore we had no mandate to change anything.

SCAG Proposal

So at this meeting, we were looking at options for our future. A proposal was outlined to take SCAG (Stop Cuckstye Action Group) charitable donations into the Society whilst the Society continues to progress its own aims and constitution. The monies would be kept separate and ringfenced. Paul re-iterated that the aims and objectives support those of SCAG (our constitution requires us to promote appreciation of our beautiful village and encourage the support and collaboration of others in the preservation and sympathetic growth of our community. Our goal is to stimulate public awareness of issues facing Cuckfield and to encourage strong feeling of community within our residents).
