Care for Veterans and Worthing Churches Homeless Projects benefit from the money raised by the sale of auction items, which are donated to the Cricket Club over the course of the year. Auction Lots were as diverse as a race experience at Goodwood, a plumber for the day and a Karcher window vac! There was also a quiz before the auction which tested the general knowledge of attendees.

Nine-year-old Harvey Tress, who goes to Seaside School in Lancing, donated his bear to local charity, Care for Veterans, where his Mum works as a Healthcare Assistant.

The Grand Rehearsal is a grand success!

The Grand Rehearsal, a new mini-musical by Jorgen and Libbet Booth, was performed over three days at Emmanuel United Reformed Church, Worthing and raised an amazing £2,800 for charity.

The story was of the predicament of a village choir whose numbers had reduced to just two singers, and the twist in the tale was that within five minutes of the show starting, the audience became aware that they were the new choir members and they would be the ones singing! And that they did, singing along to tunes like Bring Me Sunshine, Edelweiss and Land of Hope & Glory, to name but a few.
