MARCH 2016 UPDATE

We now have our revised restoration quotes and are checking the detail on these as well as finalising our other costs before making our submission to the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Thank you to our volunteers for help with the tidy up of the ringing chamber, organ loft and vestry which is now complete.

We still have some spaces on the next course of training for bell ringers. Lessons start in April and all ages are welcome. For further details email us via bbbells.appeal@gmail.com.

We were unsuccessful in our application with the February tokens for the EDP Community Chest campaign, but we will be trying again in March. So please continue to cut out the tokens printed daily in your EDP and help us reach our target of 500 tokens by dropping them into the collection box at Barnham Broom Post Office & Stores.

Our thanks to everyone who voted for us with their green tokens in the Waitrose February Community Matters Initiative. We’re looking forward to receiving a £270 donation from this.

Details of our Quiz Night on Saturday 16^th April are now finalised and tickets are available from Barnham Broom Post Office & Stores. Do please join us for a quiz plus Bangers & Mash. See our posters for further information.

A big thank you for your continued support and donations. Our total fund plus pledges has now reached over £17,000.

EDP Community Chest: the magic 500 in February

Our thanks to everyone for such a fantastic response to our EDP Community Chest application. Not only have we sent off our 500 February tokens, we have over 400 spare tokens that may be of use to other local groups. 

The EDP have had a great response to their campaign. See their website for details.
