The success of businesswomen across the area were celebrated at a glittering ceremony at
Eastbourne’s Cavendish Hotel on Friday 20th July.
As one of the top ten Coffee Shops in Eastbourne (according to Trip Advisor), the Coffee and Carrot had
entered the competition, but faced quite strong competition. However, Maria (the very glamorous owner
of this new venture) scooped this year’s New Business/Start up of the Year Award!
Maria Katsari has been an advertiser and supporter of St Saviour’s magazine and our other publications
for the last year or more and her café is a regular haunt of many of our clergy and parishioners.
Congratulations Maria on your success. You have a great product and give an excellent service, hopefully
it will continue to grow and you will achieve even more success!

New Car Park permits

New Car Park permits are now available. Steve will issue the new ‘electrostatic’ permits (they
stick to your windscreen without adhesive and peel off with no residue), when you either sign-up
or renew your parking subscription.

This year we have introduced a fixed minimum charge of £45.00 for a Congregation permit. You may,
of course, pay more at your discretion if you feel that you are able - the real value of town-centre parking
is far more than the ‘cover price’ of the permit. There will also be numbered permits for both Car Parks
for the reserved spaces. This will help us to monitor usage and any abuse of the facility.
