Message from the Chairman of CHAIN

Well everyone, Spring is round the corner and all I can say is thank goodness after all that snow. I hope you all survived the snow and ice with no falls or accidents. I’m sure you will agree with me that the pavements in Hungerford were extremely dangerous and I hope that the review which is taking place will mean they will be treated much sooner next time we have snow or ice.

There have, I’m sure, been many congratulations sent to Rod Desmeules and his team for the wonderful Christmas Lights. They must be the best in the South of England. Hungerford looked so good during the Christmas period and the Victorian Extravaganza was a fantastic event which was a credit to the small committee who make it happen every year.

The Centenary celebrations for the Primary School are going ahead and I am sure it will be a very exciting weekend (September 25th/26th) for everyone in the Town and beyond. If you are interested in helping or coming to the Saturday event please contact me on 683302. Also if you have any photographs you would be willing to lend the school for an exhibition please let me know. Please look out for posters advertising this event during the summer.

Chain is always looking for drivers but they also need volunteers to help deliver Chain Mail. This is only four times a year, but it is vital to Chain as it means everyone in Hungerford gets a copy of Chain Mail. So if you have a little time to spare please contact the Chain Office (683727) or myself on 683302. Thanks to all our volunteers, drivers, office ladies, Chain Mail Links, you all help to make Hungerford the special town we all appreciate so much.

I hope you all went to see the Town Show (Carousel) it was brilliant and I would like to thank everyone who took part and made this the 30th Town Show such a great success.

Janette Kersey
