Shepherds of the South Downs – an illustrated talk by Ian Everest

Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington
Central to Sussex farming in past centuries, and to the economy of the area, were the thousands of sheep that grazed on the Downs. The shepherds, who spent their solitary lives caring for their flocks, were a familiar part of the local countryside. Ian Everest tells their story, having grown up on a farm in the South Downs himself, before going on to work in agriculture. 
Visitors £3, payable at the door. Rustington Heritage Association members free. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.

Care for Veterans Fundraising Firewalk

Care for Veterans, Angmering
Join us for our Firewalk Fundraiser at Worthing Rugby Club.
Make 2025 your best year yet by facing your fears with this unusual challenge – after all, if you can walk across hot coals, anything is possible!

Who can take part? All participants must be 12+, and can walk unaided and at a fast pace. Participants will receive a 30-minute briefing.
Cost: Registration is £25, then we are asking participants to raise £50 in sponsorship. All proceeds support the provision of care and rehabilitation for disabled ex-armed forces personnel.

The decision to walk across the coals is dramatically life-changing. Not because you have decided to firewalk in itself but because you have consciously decided not to let your fear inhibit your actions. 

There will be a prize for the participant who raises the highest fundraising amount!
