FEBRUARY/MARCH 2017 UPDATE

There was a positive response to our initial meeting in March about the Heritage Package being developed as part of the Barnham Broom Church Bells Restoration Appeal, with people keen for a follow up meeting.

A big thank you to everyone who supported our very enjoyable Quiz Night which raised just over £446 towards the Barnham Broom Church Bells Restoration Appeal.

Our next fund raising event is the Charity Golf Day at Barnham Broom Golf Club on Tuesday 25th April.  Thank you to those who have already entered. There are still spaces available if you would like to join us.

There will also be an Evening of Music including the D’Capo choir, Windmill Handbell Ringers and Barnham Broom School choir and soloists at Carleton Forehoe Church on Friday 19th May.
