A date for your diary: on 11 February at 11.30 there will be a GRAND UNVEILING of a plaque on the wall of the Hope Anchor, to celebrate Saville's books set in Rye, and especially his use of the site of the Hope Anchor for the Gay Dolphin.

There will also be a Saville-themed event at the Heritage Centre on the same day, organised by the Malcolm Saville Society (probably in the afternoon).

ALL Saville fans are welcome to both events - no doubt we'll meet up for a meal and drinks at some point. Something to look forward to as the weather gets colder and darker.
