Woodingdean's distinguished visitors included the Roman Catholic Bishop of Arundel and Brighton.

Several popular bus walks took place around Woodingdean during the year visiting Castle Hill Nature Reserve and other beauty spots off the beaten track.

Woodingdean had an Open Studio as part of its contribution to the Brighton Festival in 1999. Two plays were by Armchair Theatre Group - The Weekend, a comedy by Michael Palin in January, and The Suspects in October. Contact Terry on 605911 or at the Downs Hotel on Tuesdays at 8pm for details of future productions.

The new closed circuit television cameras helped to make travel safer in Falmer Road.

Innovations at Woodingdean Community Library included Sketching for Pleasure and a useful training exercise on how to surf the Internet. It is now hoped to inaugurate a Homework Club before long.

Woodingdean's Labour Action Team led campaigns with petitions to get better bus services including a park-and-ride scheme utilising the racecourse car parks; the extension of the library opening hours; and the installation of a cashpoint machine in Woodingdean, a campaign which was successful.
