Town Mayor Cllr. Francis Oppler presents cheques at Civic Reception

On Wednesday 27th March 2024, Bognor Regis Town Council held their annual Civic Reception, hosted by the Mayor, Cllr. Francis Oppler, at ‘Seasons’ which was attended by our Chairman Heather Perrot and Vice-Chairman Ray Hagger.


The evening acts as an opportunity to thank the many organisations, charities and community groups who work tirelessly to provide opportunities, services and events for the people of Bognor Regis. Some of these organisations are thanked through the provision of Grant Aid funding, cheques for which were presented by Cllr. Oppler at the Civic Reception.  Heather Perrot on behalf of the twinning association was presented a cheque for £400 which will help help support our youth activities in particular to support our youth programme during the visit by Weil Am Rhein and Trebbin in July. 


Also present were our wonderful Town Crier, Jane Smith, and we enjoyed some rousing performances from the West Sussex Music ‘Urban Brass Band’, a group of students from around the locality, who recently won ‘gold’ at the Chichester Festival of Music, Dance and Speech.

Over 80 people from four local Town Twinning Associations met recently to compete in a challenging Joint Quiz. Thirteen teams made up of members and friends from Bognor Regis, Angmering, and Littlehampton Associations joined together for the annual Quiz event. The independent quizmasters for the evening, Ric and Sharon, set a wide variety of questions in the categories of Food & Drink, TV & Film, Mixed Music, Sport & Games, and European Geography. Teams could play a Joker in an attempt to double their scores, but only on one chosen round. This year, Felpham Village Hall was a very welcome and warm venue for the occasion. All present were treated to a generous Ploughman’s supper halfway through the evening, whilst we were still puzzling over the picture quiz. A prize for the winning team and a raffle rounded off the evening. Some weeks later the Bognor Regis association held a series of games evenings in various houses in the Bognor area. Mainly board or card games were played although shuffleboard and charades were also included in the evening at some locations. These social evenings form part of the ongoing programme for the Twinning Association.
