King George V playing fields, rolling turf Set in emerald hills close to sea and surf To each season a sport, and open to all, The thwack of the willow, the speed of the ball, For a quieter approach there's bowls on the green, An equable game with reasonable fees, Opened in nineteen sixty-two From the pavilion a lovely view; Now adjacent to the Bowling Club Stands the new Regency Hall, village hub, Craft fairs, films, history talks, Exhibitions, musicals, news from all walks, Most importantly, the library, creative calm, Where young and old will find the balm And discover that a library isn't just shelves With books, it's a universe of teachings and help, A place to consider the world's ideals And remember that finally, knowledge heals.
