WESTONBIRT ASSOCIATION

Sample news submission
from section representative

Below is the preferred format for contributions to the Westonbirt Association News. It doesn't matter whether it is typed or hand-written; it is easier for the Editor to collate, and less time consuming, if all the news is done in the same format.

PLEASE SEND REPORTS IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER 28 FEBRUARY
(preferably to arrive by 9 March)

If you can send by email, please do. It reduces transcription errors and is faster.

(Names are taken, almost randomly, from the chronicles of Barchester by Anthony Trollope)


 

SECTION 30: 1960

Representative: MARY BOLD, Pakenham Villas, High Street, Little Plympton, Barchestershire, HP5 9HS.   Tel. 01234 112243

SUSAN GRANTLY (Harding) wrote to say that she was job hunting again and visiting universities all over the country with her daughter - trying to decide which looked best.    Having lost both their parents in 6 months, Susan and her sister ELEANOR BOLD (Harding) were busy sorting out the estates.   Susan felt that the highlight of the last year was seeing her nephew and his crew at Grennock at the finish of a leg of the Tall Ships Race; she had never seen so many crates of ale and lager coming out of Tesco's and going towards the boats!

MARY THORNE wrote "At the end of October I moved from London to my new address here in Datchet.    It has been an excellent move for me - five minutes from my work in Slough and I'm still able to have London social life.   My sister Monica remarried in November at her Quaker Meeting House in Lancashire.    It was a wonderful day, and AMELIA DE COURCY was one of the guests."

I had some news from OPIE GREEN last year - she wrote to say that she was still living in London and running her own Financial Consultancy business.   She was also painting, and selling, water colours of the Alps, and skiing as much as possible.

I keep in touch with BEATRICE ORIEL (Gresham), who was in the middle of moving house in March, and AUGUSTA MOFFAT.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS:
MARY THORNE, 4 Church Lane, Datchet, Berks SL3 7TF.   Tel. 01753 674372    (writeme@hereiam.net)
