Sue Baker from the society said: “We are in great need of volunteers at present both for the torch making sessions and also we are looking for marshals for our bonfire night, people to help build and guard the bonfire, people to help put out barriers and collect them back in the weekend of October 26.

“Unlike previous years we are needing to have firm commitments from volunteers two months before the actual event. This is to comply with safety requirements.”

Those interested in volunteering should contact [email protected] or see Tyndall Jones via the sports shop in the High Street or message Susan Baker on the Littlehampton Bonfire Society Facebook page.
