More Northern Lights
In the middle of May, the famous Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, were visible across many parts of the country, including Camber! Usually only visible from Scandinavia, Alaska, Canada and Russia, the lights can occasionally be seen in the UK.
BT’s Big Switch
BT plans to switch all landline phones to digital phones. Originally the Big Switch was scheduled for the end of 2025 but has been delayed.
Another Beach!
On 9th September, 33 Camber residents set out for a day-trip to Deal in Kent. Passengers arrived at Deal to find the weather was not as bad as had been forecast. They were expecting rain but, luckily, it stayed dry all day.
So, What Did You Find on the Beach Today??
Twenty years ago, on Sunday 12th September, Camber residents awoke to find possibly the largest piece of “beach debris” they had ever seen on our shores! 1175 tons of cargo coaster – the Indian registered Maanav Star!
NHW and CSW

Free Electric Blanket Testing
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service offers free electric blanket testing.
Trick or Treat?
Hallowe’en is synonymous with a spooky full moon, backlighting, witches, bats, ghostly looking trees and buildings. Hallowe’en is also a time to observe respect for others whilst having some spooky fun.
Triple Treat!
The September full moon, known as the Harvest Moon, was also a Supermoon. This happens when the moon is closest to the Earth, making it appear bigger and brighter than a standard full moon. September’s full moon, however, was also subject to a partial lunar eclipse.
Donation of Unused Mobility and Medical Items
During the past two decades, Medi Tech Trust has donated medical equipment to surgeries and hospitals. Two years ago, we launched a recycling initiative called Medigive®, which has already enabled our charity to donate nearly £4 million worth of medical equipment and consumables to hospitals in low-income countries and war zones.
