Background to The John Davis Memorial Fund

Lt Col John Davis OBE was Harbour Master at Chichester for nearly fourteen

years and last summer, died of a heart attack whilst sailing his Sunbeam “Fleury”

with his wife Valerie.

John Davis was very popular, both with fellow sailors and all those in and around

the harbour. Ex-Royal Marine John, had been Harbour Master since July 1997

and was responsible for both the harbour authority and the Area of Outstanding

Natural Beauty. He received an OBE in 2005 for services to sailing and the

environment of Chichester Harbour.

The aim of the Memorial Fund is to acquire a boat like that shown above which

will provide further water-based opportunities for all three Services and their

injured service personnel and families in Chichester Harbour.

Art at Upper House with both the participating artists and their sponsors and the

helpful participation of guests and visitors, wish to fully support Valerie Davis and

this Memorial Fund at this year’s exhibition, weekend commencing the 23rd of

September.

Exhibition opening times:

Saturday 10.00am to 5.00pm / Sunday 10.00am to 4.00pm

Upper House, Itchenor Road, Itchenor, PO20 7DA

Donations to the Fund can be made through the Art at Upper House website.
