Arena attractions included kick-boxing, the Bexhill Glimmer Stars Majorettes and a "Pebsham sing-along" featuring pupils' favourite songs.

Ann Ogilvie chairs a parent teacher association currently working towards the provision of staging for the school hall - an item which could cost between 3,000 and 4,000.

Her team on Saturday included vice-chairman Sandra Snook, treasurer Michelle Frampton, secretary Suzanna Upton and Jo Hodges, Julie Warden and Donna Chapman.
