Bit of excitement even before the Posh Do in the Poor House started when one of the Gainsborough Quartet was in a car accident on Friday so it was the Arbutus String Trio who gamely took on one hundred chattering Friends of Sir Robert Hitchams. There was the inevitable raffle but there were prizes like a bottle of gin. There will be other Friends money raisers but Mark Perkins wasn't sure whether the Posh Do will become an annual event. We think it should.

| sa 16 Apr 2005 | Remember we wanted the Airfield Museum phone number for US Navy Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Brad Taylor? Brad writes I had a wonderful time there in Fram and everyone in the community was very helpful. A special thanks to Gerry Fryer and Raymond Carter for sharing their time and knowledge at the Air Museum on a day that it wasn't regularly open. It was nice to see where my grandfather served during World War II and I look forward to spending time with him this summer to talk about the pictures I have. I most definitely want to bring my family back to share the experience. How nice. |

This afternoon a black Rover didn't quite make it round the corner at the bottom of Fore St. A bystander expressed the usual opinion that the police were making the traffic worse. Can't quite see how Alan Mutimer's truck would have got in without someone to stop the traffic?

Does anyone remember American serviceman Chris Lane Gray who lived in Fore Street in the mid 80s? He's now domiciled in Arkansas and looking for news of Jim and 'Queenie' from the Hare and Hounds.
Very regrettably Chris Haesler has resigned after twelve years as a town councillor because of ill health in his family. A thoroughly nice man and we shall miss him very much - Eileen Coe Town Clerk.
The polls are open till 10 o'clock tonight, you don't have to have your poll card to vote and you don't have to tell those people hanging about with clipboards how you voted. Just DO IT.

Inexplicably by some process of osmosis a table had been reserved for us, Esther managed to keep track of the multiple bills, with Mike in the kitchen the food was of course excellent if elegantly restrained in quantity, Sadie waited tables and was charming. Conversation included the car chase in Bullit, the Compost Association Conference and ESB's proposed St Valentine's beer Jolly Roger. 
NaTCH and what's more chef Carol was off sick so no liver casserole but new landlady Kate, in hyperdrive mode, produced enjoyable Cottage and Chicken Pies and as usual the Vic was on song. Conversation included "passive anger" and the paucity of interesting gigs at the moment. 
John B and a little late was Andy who explained it was because he wasn't wearing a watch. Fortunately Malcolm was sufficiently distracted by his birthday candles and the wonderful flower arrangement from Steph that there was no further discussion of watches. Inevitably there was discussion of the unbelievable events in the USA but impressively Andy is playing a football match in Moscow! Good food! Good beer!
