SHOREHAM PEEPS
with Paul Plumb. Last time Paul showed his nostalgic film of Shoreham the hall was packed. Look back to the sixties for a unique look at your town on film. The personalities, the sights, the events and even how our local newspaper covered the news... through to printing and delivery.

WATER WONDERFUL
WORLD
What would we do without water – probably die! Although it’s all around us and we can take our taps and toilets for granted, Southern Water will explain their part in the perennial water cycle. With increasing interest in the environment and saving resources, why not collect some Water Wise tips at source. St. Peter's Church Hall, West Street Members £2 Others £3 |

LOST PUBS &
DARK STARS
Shoreham used to have several more pubs than it does. Trevor Povey recalls those we have lost, with rare photographs. The Dark Star Brewery, a Sussex success story, bought and refurbished Shoreham‘s Duke of Wellington not long ago. You will hear how they started in a Brighton pub cellar and are now expanding to their third, and biggest, brewery. Plus the story of their award-winning beers which will be available to try. Ropetackle Arts Centre Tickets £5. (Shoreham Society and Friends of Ropetackle £3) |

REAL ENGLAND:
The battle against the Bland
 Paul
Kingsnorth, writer, journalist and environmental campaigner, explains
his enthusiasm for the unique and characterful country we live in. But
beware, “We see the signs around us every day: the chain cafes and superstores
that dominate our high streets; the decline of small farms and the loss
of post offices.
” His recent book explores the links between people and places, and was described as “Revealing, stirring and brilliantly written, it should be read by everyone in England” – The Ecologist. St. Peter's Church Hall, West Street Members £2 Others £3 |
