Speaker's Meeting 22nd June 2026

Stories from the Sussex Downs was the theme of Ian Everest's talk at the St Peter's Community Centre.

It was an A to Z of life on the Sussex Downs, where Ian grew up as a lad. It was fully illustrated with old photos and the talk took us from Beachy Head to the Sussex Downs near Chichester.
