Our Club is extremely grateful to our members whose subscriptions and
support at our events help keep the club afloat. However, this is not
enough and we are extremely grateful to our sponsors who contribute so
much towards the club. Arts grants are becoming more difficult to obtain
so if you are able to sponsor the club in any way please have a word
with any committee member.
We are very grateful to WSCC, Bognor Regis Town Council and the Marsh
Christian Trust who give us grants.
Since November 2007, West Dean College have generously funded a place on their internationally renowned Guitar Festival and Summer School, awarded to a
junior participant in our annual West Sussex Guitar Festival.
We also very grateful to the following local businesses. Just as they
support us, please try to support them wherever possible.

that always enhance the ambience of our club. These are kindly donated
