The club competes in various regattas and competitions throughout the year and has both a Junior and Senior section.

Proto Restaurant Group staff day out received a frosty reception

Friday, March 4th, 2011

On Thursday 3rd March, 20 Proto Restaurant Group staff members met for a day’s ice-skating on Worthing’s famous ice-skating rink as part of a team building exercise. Proto Restaurant Group works closely with the ice rink as it offers anybody who buys a ticket for the rink, a free kid’s meal at The Fish Factory, which has been extremely popular with families using the ice-rink, especially during half-term.

Andy Sparsis Ice Skating

Worthing’s ice-rink is now in it’s third year running on Steyne Gardens and is open until the 6th March having been open since 5th February. Having been brought in as a one-off by Worthing Town Centre Initiative three years ago, it has proven so popular that it now returns every year. Not only is this a fantastic addition for the people of Worthing, but it is drawing people from neighbouring towns to Worthing, which is just great for local businesses.

Andy Sparsis – owner of Proto Restaurant Group – had the following to say about the day at the ice-rink:

“I love getting our team out of the workplace and if I’m honest its about time some of them got there skates on! Thanks To Sharon Clark TCM for making this all possible.”

If you are planning on visiting the ice-rink this year, why not pop into The Fish Factory, Worthing to try one of their steak and kidney puddings? Home made pastry and massive chunks of lean steak is sure to warm you up after a cold day on the ice.

Call us on 01903 207123 to book a table in advance.

The Fish Factory sponsors Carnival Queen

Monday, February 7th, 2011

The Fish Factory is proud to announce that they are sponsoring the Littlehampton ”Carnival Queen’ contest again this year. The event will be held on Sunday 20th March at The Fish Factory in Littlehampton – part of the Proto Restaurant Group which also brought you Food restaurant in Worthing. The Fish Factory has made a donation to the event as they feel that the young girls entering the competition are good role models and have good education and values. The Fish Factory admires their courage to walk away from the crowds and follow the right people in society.

We thought it would be interesting to ask some questions to the event organiser, Freda Hughes in order to get a better idea of what the competition involves, and how it benefits those that enter.

Who was last years winner, and why did they win? How did they stand out?

Isabella Camburn won last years competition and stood out to the judges as she came across as a very confident girl, which the Judges deemed an important factor – especially when knowing that the prospective Carnival Queen would be presented to all members of the local Community and general Public, and would be able to engage in a variety of events throughout the year.

What did Isabella get for winning?

Isabella also won prize money of £500, Day wear and a Ball gown.

What has Isabella been up to since winning Littlehampton’s Carnival Queen 2010?
Since winning the Competition, Isabella has attended a variety of events, including our main event – the Littlehampton Carnival, other local carnivals, and Bonfire Night, Wheels Day, The Town Show, Winter Wonderland, Armed Forces Day & Remembrance Sunday. Isabella also attended Harbour Park, where she looked after under privileged and disabled children.

Isabella Camburn - Littlehampton Carnival Queen 2010

What are the judges looking for in this years potential Carnival Queens?

The Judges are looking for a confident girl, who can adapt to all situations, a “people person” who is not afraid to talk and integrate with members of the general Public, Local dignitaries, councillors etc. They will also be looking for someone who is smartly dressed, has an enthusiasm for Littlehampton, and has a vivacious personality.

Have you had any entries yet?

The Carnival Competition was launched last week, and we have had 1 entry so far, interestingly from a former Junior Carnival Queen, who is entering again as she enjoyed her year with us, over 2 years ago. We have had many enquiries, and hope that, like all other previous years, we will be looking at aprox 10-20 entries.

When and where will the event be held?

The Date for the Contest is March 20th 2011 and will be held at The Fish Factory. All entrants need to send a photo into the Littlehampton Gazette, and then they will be contacted in due course buy our Carnival Queen Coordinator – Bobby Hall, to discuss the time to meet on the 20th, and a general discussion about what is involved.

Mayor's Greek Party on Monday 10th May 2010

Hurry up to get the last remaining tickets for the Mayor’s Greek night on 10th May at Food restaurant in Worthing, West Sussex. Tickets are priced at £35, so call 01903 227780 to buy your tickets now.

There will also be a raffle, an auction, and of course the Splash FM disco til late.

Did you know?

Ancient Greeks believed that dancing was invented by the Gods and therefore they had associated it with their religious and worshipping ceremonies. The Greeks believed that the Gods offered the gift of dance to select humans only, who in turn taught dancing to their friends. So now’s the time for us to see if you were first in the queue when God was offering his gift of dance.
