Their salary has been provided by Trusts and Foundations over the past three years and the Trustees are always on the lookout for further educational funding.

1 shall be more than happy to arrange further visits to the Museum by the Livery Company.  After all it can be approached by road - it is midway between Arundel and Storrington in West Sussex - by river, on the River Arun and by rail - Amberley Station is on the site of the Museum and is served by frequent rail services from London Victoria and the South Coast.  What could be more simple?!

Once again a group of five swimmers met at the RAC Club at Epsom to take part in the annual Swimathon to raise money for the Lord Mayor's Charity.  This year it was for SSAFA Forces Help and the Fishermen's Mission.  The five were Jan Steward, Sue Illman, Elaine Cordingley, Keith Lambert and Tom Barton.  For the first time the chaps were outnumbered by the girls.  We managed to swim our allotted 5kms in reasonable time allowing us time to have a drink with the Master, the Mistress Pavior and a number of other supporters.

There were about twenty Liveries taking part and we all had a very enjoyable time.  As well as enjoying ourselves we also helped to raise money for those less well off than ourselves.  This year we raised £1,500.  This was a great effort particularly as it was only six months since the last Swimathon due to the date being changed.  Many thanks to all who took part and also to all those who sponsored us.
