The scene features: dancing with a group of seniors/OAP's; a game of billiards in the billiards room; a game of bingo; a game of darts; a compilation of scenes from several amateur dramatic performances (Franklands Players) and a Wine Club wine tasting event.
The next section features an overview of the Fete on Saturday July 17th at the Hardy Memorial Playing Field with the marching band from the Haywards Heath Scouting group, a "Damsel Ducker" game, ''The Magic Roundabout'' and several stall games being played by children that includes skittles & "Torpedo Bay". This is followed by highlights from a local football match and a village management committee meeting in the "Estate Office". Several men sit around a table discussing village affairs.
