I should like to express my thanks to all those volunteers who helped organise the Worthing Music Festival 2002 which, once again, culminated in the highly successful Festival Highlights concert at the Pavilion Theatre.

I am pleased to announce more than £1,000 was collected at the concert and donated to St Barnabas Hospice.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all of you.

After the festivities, work will commence in preparation for Worth-ing Music Festival 2003, which we shall endeavour to ensure is even bigger and better.

-Brian Lyn, Chairman, Worthing Music Festival
