More than 70 people attended the launch on Sunday of fund-raising towards a community bid to buy The Horns Lodge at Chailey.

Residents took out an Asset of Community Value order on the historic hostelry in 2017 and have now set up a limited company to bid for the pub when it comes up at auction on March 20.
