Pictures taken at the Hall Extension Opening.

More can be added, so if you have photos which can add to our collective memory of the occasion send them to “cddanson@icloud.com”.

The official opening by children, representing the children of Hoe and Worthing who will have this Parish Room for the next 100 years. Trevor Wood, Chairman of the Parish Meeting, who obtained the grant for the building and project managed the build, used all those skills in organising the cutting of the symbolic ribbon by the children. Bill Borrett, our County Councillor, here expressing his pleasure that the county council was able to help with the project.

Refreshments from the new kitchen now renamed ‘The Power House’.

Time capsules were packed up at the end of the day and put up into the tower of each church to be opened in 100 years.

A display from the Archive of photos with traced silhouettes underneath so that names could be added.

The beautiful candlesticks given in memory of Thomas Parker DCM.

Standing room only in the church for a concert by Hoe and Worthing Community Choir led by Caroline Gilfillan, also showing some of the glorious flowers in the church arranged by Bryony Carey and her ‘team’. You have to imagine the wonderful scent.
