Family History Day last October
Post Exhibitions and Activities for 2011
We started the year with our first exhibition With Paintbrush in Hand local artists views of Storrington.
In February we had a talk by Helen Poole, "Charles II and His Escape through Sussex - 1651" followed in March by a successful Quiz night with our resident quizmaster Rev. Stephen Turrell.
The Crafts Exhibition, ran between April and June and incorporated local artists, craft demonstrations with articles for sale.
A visit to Buncton and Coombes Churches in June and Know your Storrington, an organised walk around the village with Eunice Allen provided activities running up to our next and biggest exhibition.
Mills, Giants of the Countryside.
During this exhibition an organised visit to West Blatchington Windmill, Hove and a Mills Creativity Day made it a busy summer. The annual dig for buried treasure for the Junior Archaeology Day and the Flower Fairies day were equally successful.
In early October Meg Everitt organised guided walks around old mill sites and a few days later at an evening talk we were very fortunate to have Mr Peter Hill, Chairman of the Sussex Mills Group give a talk on Mills.
Family History Day returned on 16th October with experts providing advice on how to research family histories. Thank you to Michael Leeming for organising in what has become a regular event. If you have an enquiry or need advice on how to start research on your family tree please get in touch.
A busy October finished with another one of our very popular Quiz nights with the one and only Stephen Turrell as our quiz master.
Toy Time was our last exhibition of 2011 and its open day was full of sights and activities including collections being shown by expert collectors, train layouts, the childrens entertainer Marky, two puppet shows and a Teddy bears picnic plus other magical happenings.
