The Spike

With promises of substantial funding from several charitable institutions it looks like Holy Trinity Ward is soon to add the Spike to its many assets. The land the Spike stands on was part of a planning gain to compensate Holy Trinity ward for the loss of amenities not provided with the development and we are very fortunate to have the opportunity to create something that will be of tremendous benefit to the whole community. For further information go to the Features pages and click on The Spike.

Crown Fashions

Gaye Hebard has been a self employed dressmaker for 23 years. All her work is by word of mouth. She believes she is lucky to be able to make a living from something which she is passionate about.

Old Spectacles

Gordon Bridger would like to thank those who have given him spectacles. A retired Ophthamologist from the Shalford Tennis club takes them out twice a year to Africa. It is very rewarding to be able, by the simple act of providing spectacles to Africans in remote areas, to make a dramatically beneficial change to their lives. So keep the spectacles coming. If you have spectacles to donate contact Gordon via this site.

St Mary's Church, Quarry Street, welcomes new members to the flourishing Parish Youth Choir, which sings at the 11.15 am service on the fourth Sunday of each month. Any girls or boys over 6 are very welcome. Rehearsals are twice a month. Contact the organiser via this site.

Gas Flares at "The Drink"

The following was emailed to the site by Nigel Platt. Any comments?
"I would like to see the gas flares in front of "The Drink" shut down. I am a geologist working in hydrocarbon exploration and production, so perhaps I should welcome use of a natural resource. However, in fact I am strongly opposed to profligate waste of our natural reources."
