Are you someone who can give new life to old clothes? Can you work your creative magic to create a unique look ‘that doesn’t cost the earth’? Yes? Then why not enter Eternal Style’s upcycling competition to showcase your talents. Upcycling is one of the most critical trends in the fashion industry today. The frightening facts about the environmental and ethical impact of the garment industry have become inescapable If you are still getting familiar with the upcycling fashion concept, it involves using pre-existing clothes and re- constructing them into new garments. The finalists will show their garments at the Eternal Style Fashion Event at the Chichester Memorial Hall in Sandgate on Sunday 8ᵗʰ October. There a jury will choose the winner and runner up of the competition.

If you walk by the Old Fire Station on a Tuesday evening and hear cries for help interceded with lots of laughter don’t be alarmed, there’s nothing sinister going on just members of the society busy rehearsing Murder in the Marsh (and having a lot of fun whilst doing so).
This promises to be an enjoyable and light hearted evening with a different ending each night. Bring your own refreshments; sit and just sit back and be entertained whilst trying to work out the all important question – ‘Who did it?’ Will your table win the prize for guessing, I mean cleverly deducting, correctly?
We need to keep fundraising to be able to support all the community projects we do so please come along and support this event; tickets are just £8 for members and £10 for non members.

And if you couldn’t get a seat on the last trip (which sold out very quickly), you can make up for it now…
The feedback from the last trip was 100% positive – (“a lot of smiling faces”) and we have been asked to put on another trip since then – so here it is.
FOUR different churches to visit, again with the informative and entertaining John Hendy of The Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust who has a wealth of experience on the Churches on the Marsh.
You will come away having learnt the most amazing unimaginable facts about the churches, having had a thoroughly enjoyable day.
We will visit two churches in the morning and then stop for lunch at the Star Inn, St Mary in the Marsh where a ploughman’s lunch will be provided. Time for an unhurried meal and drink, before the final two and back to Sandgate. Please advise of any dietary requirements on booking.
