That’s your lot then, after a dry, cold first week of the year in which England’s white(wash) Christmas in Australia was completed, and the empty Lewes streets suggested that most of the town was either staying away from the centre or still on holiday. Next week we’ll be out on Wednesday, as usual.
This week we’d like to thank the following people for making this issue possible: Sara Gosling, Mary Beaney, Annabelle Nicoll, Portia and Nelly (aka Masher and Gnasher), Leigh Simpson, Gregory Atkin, and Sue Fasquelle.

This week’s contributors are: William Leith, Jess Wood, Emma Chaplin, Adrienne Campbell, Emma Robertson, Dexter Lee, Antonia Gabassi, Steve King, Scott Chowen, Nick Williams, Katie Moorman and Alex Leith.

Next week’s highlights include:
Friday 12th: The best Bond movie for decades, Casino Royale, at the All Saints
Friday 12th: The funniest film for decades, Borat, at the All Saints
Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th: The second annual WellBeing Fest at the Town Hall
Saturday 13th: Lewes take on Sutton United at the Dripping Pan, a must-win game for the play-off push
Monday 15th: The long-awaited opening of Tom Walker’s ‘Snooker in the Frame’ exhibition at the Star Gallery, as featured on BBC1
