Those Longest Day Dads Again – we are delighted that four of the five Dads (Chris, Jon, Torr, Patrick and Ed) who walked from Ditchling Beacon to Chichester Cathedral last year on the longest day are going to “march” again for us, this time in reverse – from Chichester to Ditching Beacon. This year, there will be only four walkers as Jon has been nominated as their “event manager”.  Last year they raised over £8,000 and their target this year is £8,500.  If you would like to support these wonderful Dads please go to www.justgiving.com/chaileyheritageschoolmarch
