What's Inside May 12

Big Church Day Out:
See the centre page pull out for your special 50% Discount to Big Church Day Out! For readers of Your Steyning!

20. Bangkok:
Bangkok is dotted with nearly 400 fairytale temples, known as ‘wats’, the most magnificent rising on the banks of the Chao Phraya. Colourful, dazzling, they are among the top attractions in Thailand’s capital.Go to page 20 to read more.

33. Sea Bass:
Baking a whole fish makes a sumptuous and easy supper dish (or one to impress friends without hours in the kitchen!) Cooking on the bone ensures the fish stays really moist and the potatoes are blessed with all the lovely juices released! If you use bass, try to source local (not farmed) or be prepared to experiment with any whole round fish. For example gray mullet, codling, sea bream or haddock. Ask your fishmonger to clean and scale your fish.Turn to page 33 to get the recipe.

53. Keeping Pests at Bay .... the Natural Way:
More and more people have become concerned about using chemicals in the garden, with some gardeners having used chemicals rarely, if at all, for years. Perhaps you are concerned about wildlife and conservation, or using pesticides on plants that children or pets might play near, or that you intend to eat.Turn to page 53 to find out more.

Rain, a nuisance for some, is needed to address the shortage of water - may it mostly fall in all the needed areas. This issue has news of the increase in the buzzard population in Sussex so when walking out and about keep a sharp look out and you might be rewarded by seeing one. Cattle in Church Street? see P5. St John Ambulance, has for many years been a part of the community in Steyning, but needs the support of the local community to continue its work. The What's Inside section will bring you up to date on all the events of the village...
