Things are happening!

After many months, 2 improvements to the Town have been completed this month. The restoration of the exterior of Boorman's shop on Newbury Street and the reopening of Town Mill bridge.

Boorman's newly rebuilt wall The new Town Mill Bridge

The southern wall and roof of the old shop have been repaired and the interior is scheduled to be refurbished by the end of October.

The bridge was opened just in time for the new school term.

British Legion Poppy Day Appeal - Help Needed

Once again the Royal British Legion is asking for volunteers to assist with the Poppy Appeal collection to take place in November.

This year its aim is to ask volunteers to collect in areas only within their immediate neighbourhood. Volunteers from the new estates are most urgently required in order that no area is left out.

For more information call Christine or Roger on 893072.

Whitchurch Scouts - Help Needed

Helpers are needed for the Scout Section - Older Scouts. The group is looking for help to run Badges and activities. If you have some time to spare and would like to work with a very enthusiastic group of Scouts that have a passion for trying some thing new. Please call Nikki on 07899984217

Parish Hall Re-opening

The newly redecorated Parish Hall is to reopen on Saturday 11 October.

Thanks to generous donations of £1,175 from the citizens of Whitchurch, the costs of the basic repairs and the internal redecoration have almost been met. Bill Judge has also arranged a grant of £2,000 from Hampshire County Council.

Money is still needed to pay for the completion of the external redecoration and the refurbishment of the kitchen. If you want to donate please press here and for regular updates on the Hall press the Parish Hall tab on the left.

Bakers Needed

The Friday Market held in the Gill Nethercott Hall each Friday morning is a great place to buy local produce and have a cup of tea.

One of the main attractions are the home made cakes which sell out very quickly. There is now an opportunity for more home bakers to sell their produce at the market. There's no need to get involved in the selling, that is already taken care, of but bakers can expect to make money for their efforts.

If you are interested, call Liz on 01256 770312.

BMX Track is coming

The planning application for the BMX track on Daniel Road has been approved. So Whitchurch could be providing a gold medal contender for the 2012 Olympics!
