The fifth monthly meet organised by the Sussex Cachers will
be the most northerly to date. In fact it is so far north it's in
Surrey, but only by a mile so hopefully cachers from this part of
Sussex and Surrey who have not been able to attend one of these
events will now be able to do so.
This month the event will be held at :-
The Farmhouse
Ladbroke Road
Langshott
Horley
Surrey
RH6 8PB
from 7pm on Wednesday 20th August
The Farmhouse is the original farmhouse of
Hewitts Farm and on a map dated 1602 the land to the east of its
location is named Olde Hewitts and that to the west, Newe Hewitts.
This map was prepared for Christ's Hospital when it bought much
land in Horley around that date. While the farm is not shown, there
is every likelihood that it did exist at that date and as was often
the custom, the farm was named after its owner
In October 1985 The Farmhouse was converted to a public house
and has remained so since that date. The Farmhouse is also believed
to have a friendly ghost called Mabel Hewitt who died after falling
down a staircase.
The idea of a monthly mid-week meet in Sussex was suggested a
while ago and the first four get-togethers have been very well
attended. The events will be scheduled to take place on the third
Wednesday of each month (get those dates in your diary now!) and
will take place at a different location across Sussex and be
"organised" by a different cacher.
You obviously don't need to be based in Sussex to come along.
Cachers from far and wide are VERY welcome and it would be great to
see some new faces.
