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. 
 
4Sight Vision Support is asking participants to pledge a minimum of £25 through sponsorship or donation. Please call or email to reserve a place, or if you have any other questions.

Worthing and the Glasshouse Industry

Sussex Family History Group, Worthing
Malcolm Linfield presents a talk on Worthing and the Glasshouse Industry.

Early evidence of market gardening in Worthing can be seen on Phillip’s map of 1814, and it was in these gardens that the first greenhouses appeared in the 1830s. From these modest beginnings, a major pioneering industry developed, which employed hundreds of people, and greenhouses appeared all over the town. 

The Worthing GIasshouse Industry was very important to the local economy for over 70 years, yet most people in Worthing today have no idea it ever existed. My talk outlines the story of this fascinating industry, how and why it all started, the challenges faced by the growers over the years and how and why it declined. Many people have ancestors who worked in the industry so this should be a subject of interest to both family and local historians.
