Easter Fun Day
We’re well in to planning and getting organised for our Easter Fun Day – watch this space for more information.
Research
Hilary’s been at it again, and produced another interesting essay, all about Francis Lyndhurst who started the Film Studio at the Fort. Read all about him here.
Funding
It’s hard to believe that it was three years ago that we finally were able to start taking the condemned coastguard tower down. It was built in the 70’s on top of the original 1857 fabric of the fort and the pigeons guano was about 18″ thick in all floors – yuck!!!
It cost over £36,000 to remove and was only possible as the Port Authority match funded the Pot of Gold Grant that we won.
We still need to raise the rest of the money to get the space useable so if anyone has any suggestions for funding streams then please do let us know…. Funding is one of the hardest parts of this project and as volunteers we would really appreciate anyone’s help and funding advice. Contact us…
Talks and tours
Just a few to mention in no particular order…
- Worthing Holiday Fellowship
- The Shoreham Society
- Small Dole Tuesday Club
- Seaboard Head Office Retired Group
If you know of any groups that would like a presentation or tour, the please do contact us…

Thank you to Gary for Sharon’s flowers and Andy’s beers.
