Christmas light switch on - another huge crowd
Submitted by Geoff on
Felpham residents crowded together to celebrate at the annual Christmas event on December 6th. As usual, all eyes were on the pupils from Bishop Tufnell, Downview and FCC who sang classic, and some not so classic, carols. Joyce Pritchard, Chairman of FVCS said “mince pies and mulled wine were served to the local community that included teachers and parents of the pupils. The Vicar of St Mary’s, The Reverend John Challis, blessed the tree and after a traditional countdown, the lights were lit by two of the pupils – Paige Burton and Sophie Jakeman".

Maintaining our footpaths!
Submitted by Geoff on
Through its Conservation and Development Group, the Society is planning to join with local authorities to maintain the footpaths and twittens in the Parish. First, the Society will document every one by putting them onto a definitive map. Then the Society will work with West Sussex County Council, Arun District Council and Felpham Parish Council to make sure that the footpaths are maintained to a high standard. Please note – this does not include footways. A footway is the name given to a path that runs alongside a road – otherwise known as a pavement.
