Cheap drinks:

Exhausted shoppers in need of replenishment after battling through the January sales can carry on bargain-hunting at a host of pubs in the borough.

Nine Wetherspoon pubs across Croydon have launched their own new year sales by cutting the cost of drinks until January 23.

Surgery moved:

Heathfield Conservative councillors, Margaret Mead, Andrew Pelling and Enley Taylor, have moved their January surgeries to Saturday (January 11) to allow for residents who might still be on their festive break.

They will now take place at the Selsdon Centre for the Retired, Addington Road, from 10am to 11am, at the Edgecoombe Community Centre, Edgecoombe, South Croydon, between 11.15am and 12noon and at the Forestdale Forum in Pixton Way from 12.15pm to 1pm.

Farnham's history:

The heritage of Farnham and its surrounding area will be the subject of a talk at Sanderstead United Reformed Church Hall on January 15 2pm to 4pm. The event has been organised by the South Croydon Heritage Group.
