PRESS RELEASE

At the final AGM of the Midhurst Chamber of Commerce on 8th September 2010, when the Chamber was dissolved, a proposal to donate any remaining balance in the funds to the Midhurst Town Council to be used specifically for Christmas lights was unanimously approved by the meeting. On 14th April 2011 the sum of £2391.62 was transferred into the Town Council's bank account by the Chamber's Honorary Treasurer, Julian Goodale, and a delighted Joan Hursthouse, Clerk to the Council, said: "Thank you very much. It was a much bigger sum than we were expecting and will go a long way towards the replacement lights we have planned for December 2011."
