St Michael's Allotments workparty

Submitted by Geoff on

Thank you to all FVCS members who came to help at the St Michael's Allotments workparty this morning. We love this special space next to the rife and with wild woodland either end. It provides activity and wellbeing...and of course produce for many people. This morning's work party demonstrated that St Michael's is a thriving community. FVCS and plotholders working together. We got pathway chippings down, hedgerow cleared, rubble away, compost heap readied, brambles cut back and the dry levee tidied.

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".
