While adding contact details for shops and services on steyning highstreet is useful, I have deleted this self promotion for being inappropriate.

"== Business and Industry == Steyning is home to a number of interesting businesses, including:

SME - the home of arguably the finest precision gramophone pick-up arms and turntables in the world. Fisk Brett - a computer consultancy that specialises in developing fund raising and database software and services for charities and not–for–profits."

[edit] Football club edit

"Steyning is also home to a succesful amateur football club, Steyning FC, who are climbing ever higher. Although mainly composed of local villagers, there is the odd ex-professional involved. That said, the star of the team is a local boy, Mark Watkins, currently 19."

Is there any evidence for this? Also not sure this does justice to Steyning's sports scene. Misses out the Norfolk Arms Rugby Club, the successful bowls team and Steyning's strong history in competitive walking. Mpntod 00:12, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)

The bit about pubs is hardly written in an encyclopaedic manner.

[edit] Hooch and cider comment?

Is it really necessary or impartial to make the jibes? I know it's a good laugh, but it'd be good for the steyning page to develop a lot more into something more structured and an article that represented the rich history of the area, and it doesn't seem in the spirit of things.

Completely agree. This section needs a reedit. It would be good to get input on some new sections. For example, there's a lot to say about sport in Steyning. Mpntod June 30, 2005 07:06 (UTC)
