Christmas festivities - once more a splendid success!

What a great Christmas evening at the Felpham Christmas Tree Light Up! The St Mary’s church choir kicked us off followed by four fantastic school choirs. It’s all about the children and how wonderful it is for them to perform in their community with all their parents looking on. Plus the wider Felpham community who come and support and enjoy the mulled wine and mince pies. And it’s so important that the Church comes along at this special time of year and blesses the tree and our whole community. Thank you Fr John.

What an amazing day this was!!   The sun shone, the music played, and everyone was happy.  Thanks must go to Pamela Cosgrove and Pauline Harris for organising this event.  Well done you two; we know you had many challenges in the weeks leading up to the fete and thankfully all came right on the day.

Easter egg hunt - huge success!

Submitted by Geoff on

The Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday March 30th was a great success.  Many said 'We look forward to next year for another hunt'    The sun shone and Rectory Gardens was buzzing with young people and their parents.  In the photo - young Teddy found the Golden egg (after many people had asked to give them a hint - no we didn't).   Behind him is a taller young man, Harry Olah,  who guessed the closest number of eggs in the bottle.  Total being 204 and he guessed 206.  Last year Harry found the Golden Egg and was determined to win something again!

Christmas 2023 event in Felpham!

Submitted by Geoff on

Thankfully the weather was good and it was all enjoyed by a very large crowd of people being entertained by choirs from St Mary's Church, Bishop Tufnel, Downview and Edward Bryant primary schools as well as Arun Community College.   Father John blessed the tree (donated by Butlins) with two young people from Downview and Edward Bryant schools helping with the switch on.  Mulled wine, soft drinks and mince pies helped the jollity.   FVCS volunteers did a brilliant job setting it up and helping throughout.  Thank you to all who came and all who  helped.
