Message from the Chairman of CHAIN
Spring has well and truly arrived and hopefully
May will be as gorgeous as April, although the first few days have been
quite chilly. By the time you
read this we will be into Summer and looking forward to a month of fetes
and of course HADCAF which has, as ever, a varied and interesting programme
with something for everyone to enjoy. The small committee who organise this
event are amazing and we are so lucky to have three weeks of Arts, Drama,
Music, etc which is affordable for the whole community.
Chain continues to thrive and provide a much needed service for the people
of Hungerford and the surrounding area. We could not do this without the
help and support of our many volunteers and I thank you all for doing what
Hungerford does best, “helping others”. If you feel you have
a few hours a week or month to spare and could drive, help in the office
or in any other way please contact the Chain Office on 683727 or Janette
Kersey on 683302.
The celebrations for the Centenary of Hungerford Primary School are now agreed
and I have written to lots of organisations in Hungerford to see if they
can help with a donation or some practical help on the weekend of the celebrations
(September 25/26th) . Unfortunately as at the beginning of May no-one has
replied, but I know that the town will not let us down and some of you will
come forward to help. The Staff, Governors and Parents are all helping to
make this a wonderful weekend for everyone to enjoy so please look out for
posters nearer the time.
By the time this article is published we will not only have a new government
but also a new Mayor in Hungerford and I would like to thank Elizabeth Cardwell
for all her hard work during her year of office and wish the new incumbent
all the best for their coming year.
The Chain AGM is being held on Monday 14th June at 7.30pm in the Magistrates
Room and everyone is welcome to come along and find out what we do, or to
ask any questions.
Janette Kersey
