WI Newsletter – July 2007

After such a busy June, this month has been less hectic and for our July meeting we enjoyed the kind hospitality of Sue Farr at her home in Quarley. Despite the ever-present threat of heavy showers that have been abundant this summer, the evening remained dry and we were able to take pleasure in an …

Clerk’s Column June 2007

Planning. The Andover Airfield saga continues. Tesco’s agents have still not submitted an application, but the opposition is taking advantage of the delay.

WI Newsletter – March 2007

Those of you who read this newsletter each month will know how much we were looking forward to welcoming Barbara Parker of Parkers Handmade Cakes & Chocolates to our March meeting.

Clerk’s Column February 2007

Questions, questions Some of us would very much like to know what the Powers that Be, in their air-conditioned ivory towers, bulging with full-time officials, think that Parish Councillors and Clerks do all day. They surely do not imagine that the main task of many (very part-time) Clerks consists of providing a massive umbrella with …
