The bellringers from St Margaret’s Church, led by Jill Howell, assistant lady captain at Ham Manor, also entertained the audience with their enthusiastic ringing of Christmas carols.

Canon Mark Standen, from St Margaret’s Church in Angmering, gave a lovely reading then Lynda Vowles, general manager at Ferring County Centre, and Simon Liley, head teacher at The Angmering School, each gave a talk to explain more about the two charities.

The evening ended with coffee and mince pies.
