Despite inclement weather on the Bank Holiday Monday, 150 was raised at the inaugural Town Fair at Arundel football ground and collections during the band performances throughout the week in the Town Square and Jubilee Gardens raised a further 650.

Our Festival Duck Race prizes this year were again sponsored by local businesses and with the race being a sell-out, an additional 968 was added to the funds.
