The Miracle Flower - from Flanders to the Tower – an illustrated talk
Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington
Jeremy Prescott tells the story of how the poppy has become the flower and symbol of remembrance. “In Flanders Fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row by row” is the famous opening of Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae’s 1915 poem and in 1922 Major George Howson MC received a grant of £2,000 to establish the Poppy Factory employing disabled service personnel. A century later the poppy remains a potent reminder of the sacrifices of those killed or injured in wars – a reminder that sometimes appears in spectacular form such as the project "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red" at the Tower of London in 2014.
Visitors £3, payable at the door. Rustington Heritage Association members free. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.

Film show: Lee
Ferring Community Cinema, Ferring
Lee is the real-life story of Lee Miller (played by Kate Winslet), who changed careers from a fashion model in New York in the 1920s to an official war photographer for Vogue.
At the outbreak of World War II, Miller was living in Hampstead, London, when Germany’s aerial bombardment of the city began. Ignoring the pleas of family and friends to return to the US, Miller embarked on a new career in photojournalism as the official war photographer for Vogue, documenting what became known as the Blitz.
She had to continually fight rules and attitudes towards women in war, but succeeded in getting to France, where she travelled the frontlines, recording the immediate aftermath of the D-Day landings and subsequent Allied push toward Germany. She captured the stories of those affected with courage and determination.
Tickets are £6 and available at the North Ferring Co-Op, the Premier Stores in South Ferring, and on the door on the night. Ticket price includes tea, coffee or a soft drink, and biscuits. Doors open at 6.30pm for a prompt 7.00pm start.

4Sight Vision Support Fundraising Walk
4Sight Vision Support, Angmering
All are welcome to join 4Sight Vision Support (4SVS) with its biggest fundraising event of the year, its annual Walk on the Angmering Park Estate. It’s a fantastic day out and all funds raised will help the charity’s work providing support and specialist information to West Sussex residents who are blind or partially sighted.
This year there is no registration fee, and the stakes have been raised to a single 10-mile challenge. 4SVS is calling for as many participants as possible: this may be the last year the Walk is held in its current form, so it’s a great chance to visit some beautiful countryside in an area which is not usually open to the public.
Participants living with sight loss are very welcome: guides can be provided if required and 4SVS may be able to help with transport – please call or email for details and for other accessibility information. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads at all times, and refreshments will be provided during and after the Walk.

St Margaret's Church Angmering Fun Day
St Margaret's Church Angmering, Angmering
This year, a special guest will be joining us - Ace from the 1990s version of the TV show Gladiators! Come and hear his story.
There will also be inflatables, rotating teacups, face painting, barbecue, treats, live music, cream tea and a host of other games for children and their families to enjoy – all free!
We want all the entertainment to be free because this is a tiny picture of the love of God and because we know how expensive these sorts of days can be for families, especially with the cost of living at the moment.
The only thing you might need to bring is some cash or a card for refreshments and the Church will be providing a BBQ and tea tent for those who’d like to use them.
