Annual General Meeting

‘Sussex Recorded through the Sources’

Rachel Ring found the 25 week course on ‘Sussex Customs and Traditions’ run by Geoff Doel worthwhile. Starting in September he is running, through Sussex University and ACRES, a 20 week course at Carillon Cottage on Friday mornings 10-12 noon entitled ‘Sussex Recorded Through The Sources’.

Geoff Doel will look at changing Sussex through written and visual records; historical, personal, literary, surviving buildings and artefacts. Features will include rural occupations, Poor Laws, pastimes, religion, education, economic unrest, community life and Sussex writers and artists.

Further information and enrolment from the Centre for Continuing Education, Sussex University, Brighton BN1 9RH or ACRES, and on the course content from Geoff 01732 366 857 or e-mail.
