1877   May 15     "The School was closed on account of the Club"

"Club Day was the Day of the year in the Village. Nearly everyone took a holiday. This was always in May. A procession of the members of the Westfield Benevolent Society was formed outside their club room (the New Inn). Each member wore a blue and white rosette and a beautiful blue and white banner was carried.
Away they marched to Church together with anyone else who cared to join them (I for one would go). The hymn 'Sons of labour dear to Jesus' was sung, the address given and they marched back to the Club Field. On this a huge Marquee had been erected and tables were all ready laid for a bumper dinner consisting of all sorts of roast meats, jellies, pies and puddings - a dinner long to be remembered! After all had eaten speeches were made and entertainments continued for the rest of the day.
Outside in the field was all the fun of the fair - roundabouts and swings, coconut shies, the gingerbread stalls and the pink and white sugared cakes. What fun it all was and how we enjoyed ourselves! However, the pennies
spent at the Fair had to be earned. Weeks and weeks before Club Day we did odd jobs, hoarded our half-pennies and no sweets were bought for weeks. If we managed to save two shillings (10p) we felt like millionaires and when the end of the day came, we went home happy."

1977   The Year of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee saw celebrations being held over the May Bank Holiday weekend culminating with the WCA Fete. The lengthy fancy dress procession of floats and pedestrians was headed by “The Frontiersmen” an equestrian display team giving an auspicious impression to the onlooker. A fanfare from the Hastings Corps of Drums heralded the arrival of “Miss Westfield” onto the Parish Field to open the  event.  Throughout the afternoon arena displays included gymnastics , tug-of-war and the Display Team.  No other event has seen the number in attendance as were present on that day and there was little room to move amongst the different stalls run by the various village organisations.  To round off the events an evening of entertainment with a barbecue had been organised including a display by a Parachute Team.  It was unfortunate therefore that at 4pm the heavens opened and pouring rain necessitated the removal of events to the Parish Hall. The hurried decoration of that venue was undertaken by three people and luckily completed in time for the commencement of a thoroughly enjoyable evening which saw the majority of the village together with the Parachute Team who drove down to join us in attendance!
