Fulking Calendar Project
The Village Hall Group would like to produce a calendar for 2017, as a fund-raiser for the village hall.
We are inviting people to take seasonal photographs of Fulking and nearby Downland views over the next 12 months or so… Ideally, we would like to have a photo reflecting each month of the year.
The images need to be digital so that they can be sent via email. The aim would be to get the calendar produced by next December, so get snapping now for autumn and winter photos!.
Please email the photos (with a title) to Chris Gildersleeve gilder6646@aol.com.
