Since 2012 we have carried the logo of the National Lottery Heritage fund on our website in recognition of its support in funding the purchase of essential equipment to scan and store many negatives, original photographs and archives held by Lancing & Sompting Pastfinders. We still feel it necessary to acknowledge the support of HLF and whilst keeping the logo have moved its position. Meetings

Harriet Johnson Hall, Loose Lane, starting 7.30pm.. Annual Membership: £6 plus £2 each meeting attended. Visitors: £4.00 per evening. Please e.mail our Contact below if you would like to know more. | LINKS to other pages on our website: |
