The afternoon attracted supporters from Ghyll Crescent and attendees from the SMP, Horsham Society, Probus, the Weald School English Department and a Shelley descendent.

David said: “Awareness of the work of the SMP continues to grow and it is great to have an opportunity to explain what we are seeking to achieve for our town. We are always interested in discussing fundraising events with local groups and individuals. I would like to thank Louise and Pauline for hosting the event and raising so much money. The afternoon tea was delicious!"

The Shelley Memorial Project is a Horsham community group aiming to establish a lasting public memorial for public enjoyment, inspiration and education, and to commemorate Shelley.
