Over 60 people tucked into the traditional meal of haggis, neeps and tatties in the Church Hall. The haggis was addressed by our resident Scot, Ian Galbraith, and there was a toast "To the Lassies" by Jay Simpson, with a response by Valerie Galbraith.<br />
<br />
Afterwards there was musical entertainment, introduced by Tony Hancock, better known for his organ recitals at St Peter's Church, Parham, but on this occasion playing the piano, and a quartet of singers - Averil Sessions, Ginny Airey, Richard Robinson and Jeff Feakins - who provided a lively and polished performance of Scots songs. The audience joined in several encores, the evening concluding with <i>Auld Lang Syne.</i><br />

With the money raised by our fundraising events and the first part of our Heritage Lottery Fund award, we have now raised over £54,000 towards our total. <br />
<br />
St Michael's has participated in the Sussex Historic Churches Fund "Ride & Stride" event for many years. The funds raised from this event are split 50:50 between the Trust and the church, providing another welcome source of income. We thank James Tolson for continuing to organise this event, and the participants from the village.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438995827825412031.post-2185229358241381972017-07-19T18:04:00.001+01:002017-07-19T18:04:54.580+01:00Amberley Sculpture Gardens 2017The Sculpture Gardens event on 10 June was a great success. The weather was perfect; the gardens were in beautiful condition; the sculptures were exhibited to great advantage; the musicians added greatly to the experience. Over 400 people visited, and there were sales of artists' works in each of the five gardens. The event raised £5,600 for the ACTnow Appeal.<br />
<br />
How proud we were about the comments about our village We attracted many people who had never been to Amberley before who said what a beautiful village we lived in and what a wonderful community spirit we had. The exhibitors were also very complimentary about the event<br />
<br />
The list of people involved who gave their time so generously is endless, but we would like to acknowledge the help we got. We thank Peter Strudwick for allowing us to use his field for parking and Peter Cozens and his team for managing it. Cyndy Kennett and her team did a sterling job with teas. We thank the ticket sellers who were at times rushed off their feet. We thank the bar stewards for keeping the fizz flowing. We thank the garden owners for allowing us the use of their beautiful gardens and the stewards who managed the crowds of appreciative visitors. Suzie Coates did a wonderful job with signs advising people where to go. <br />

The ACTnow St Michael’s Church Tower Appeal committee is
delighted to announce that it has received initial support from the Heritage
Lottery Fund (HLF) for essential repairs to the church tower.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
HLF grants are awarded in two phases: a Development Phase, which
in our case includes further preparatory and investigative work before the main
works to the Church tower can be carried out; and a Delivery Phase, when the
main works will be done. During the first phase we will prepare a detailed
application for the second phase grant. As long as plans have progressed
satisfactorily and according to the original proposal, an award for the second
phase will be confirmed. Our original outline application was for a total
grant of over £140,000, and we have been successful in obtaining a first phase
grant of £16,600, towards expected costs of £19,656. We are confident
that we shall succeed with our second phase application and that we may be able
to begin the main works on the tower in 2018. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have already raised £20,000 ourselves, from various
events, including concerts and talks, and generous donations from a number of
sources. But we will still need to raise up to £50,000 more, so ACTnow will
continue with its fund-raising activities for some time yet. </div>

We have applied for a total grant of £150,000. We expect to know the result of our application in early March.<br />
<br />
To meet our target total of £200,000 by autumn 2018, we have to raise £50,000 from other sources. As of the end of 2016 we had raised £18,700, from events and donations. This is a highly satisfactory position and we are very grateful to all who have contributed, via donations, support for events, and in planning and assisting with these events.<br />

Local historian Bob Hutchinson and Janet Kelly gave two brilliant talks about the history of Amberley on 4 November and 2 December: Amberley People in the Past and The Changing Face of Amberley. The first talk concentrated on the people of the village, and the second on the village itself. Bob and Janet offered a wonderful double act, with Janet providing very personal observations on individual inhabitants, several of whom were her own ancestors. A final photograph showed Janet herself as a child, as a bridesmaid at a village wedding. The church was almost filled on both occasions by very appreciative audiences, including many people from outside the village. Followed by drinks in the church hall, the two talks raised £2,400 for the ACTnow Church Tower Appeal.</div>
