HTAG Carol Singing
| |
A good crowd of carol singers set out yesterday to serenade Charlotteville. We raised about 115 for Crossroads
and sang Russell Chamberlin's favourite carols in two pubs. Afterwards we were very glad to return to Ruth's warm living
room where she and Jean provided us with delicious mulled wine, baked potatoes and cheese, apple cake, crisps etc.
I thank them, all the singers, and those who filled our collecting tins, for another successful carol singing party.
The children did particularly well to stay the course on a raw night.

HTAG Funds

With the surplus funds the Committee has decided to pay outstanding expenses, buy a half share in a new noticeboard
for the school site and print some copies of a booklet explaining what HTAG is and does. HTAG has received a number or
good ideas about what to do with the balance and will report in due course.

Bright Hill View
| |
The newsletter referred to the potential loss of the view from the top of Bright Hill when houses/flats are built on
the car park. If you nominate that as your favourite view it might stay the hands of the developers to the extent
of reducing the roof line of the uppermost buildings. There are special cards you can use - contact
this site to
obtain one. Otherwise a postcard, letter or email to the Environmental and Design Services, Millmead, will register one more vote.

High Street Road Surface
| |
In response to complaints by the Guildford Society a motion was proposed at the Guildford Borough Council meeting
last week that GBC should perhaps have a rolling maintenance programme to rectify the Surrey County Council failure
to maintain this unique surface in a unique town centre. The motion was defeated by four votes. If you have a
view on this issue, please click
here to send in your views. HTAG has in the past applied for this surface to be listed, which to date
has been refused.

| Pewley Down Conservation Volunteers Update 2006
| |
If you walked on parts of Pewley Down during late July or Early August clouds of blue butterflies would have risen at you feet.
These blue butterflies were Chalk-hill Blues and numbers this summer on the Downs were higher than at any time in recent memory.
The male Chalk-hill Blue is one of the easier blue butterflies to recognise. It is slightly larger than the other blues (with the
exception of the very rare and reintroduced Large Blue) with a distinctive pale, powder, blue colour and a fairly broad black sub
terminal border to the upperwing. To read on click
