Hello
again.
Did you all enjoy the Snow of January? During that time there were two special
people for me, Gloria & Gavin, my thanks to you both. I also know that
Swift Couriers of Newbury were the real heroes for delivering to us in Hungerford
all the over 80’s food parcels to Croft Hall, at almost the eleventh
hour after we had been let down by a firm from Thatcham, SWIFT came up trumps.
What about you?
Well it’s gone now, the snow that is, and Spring and Summer to look
forward to. March 28th British Summer time starts, and Good Friday on April
2nd. Won’t be long before our Summer edition with the short form HADCAF
programme, which is always a pleasure to print.
Regarding the TOWN DIARY, as Margaret Wilson was unable to do it for the
Christmas issue, (but has recovered now) the response from local organisers
was pitiful. All you have to do is e-mail Margaret mbairdwilson@tiscali.co.uk
and ‘’copy’’ me, we then compile it, print it in
CHAIN MAIL for you, put it on the notice board under the bridge for you,
and upload it to Hungerford's very own WEB site for you. ALL FOR FREE. From
the Website you can download the WHAT’S ON into a spreadsheet ALL FOR
FREE! So come on , participate for free and improve your event/membership/attendance
figures. I am not sorry that I have gone on, it’s such a shame that
so many people ‘’miss’’ out on WHAT’s ON in
our community.
Age UK is the new name for Age Concern and Help the Aged, from spring 2010.
“
We are urging people who are worried about heating their homes to ensure
they are claiming all their benefits. If you are not claiming the relevant
qualifying means-tested benefits such as Pension Credit which currently goes
unclaimed by 1.7 million entitled pensioners‚ you won't receive Cold
Weather Payments of £25 currently being paid out. Please contact your
local Age Concern or call our national helpline on 0800 00 99 66 to find
out what benefits you may be eligible for."
