April 2016
It has been a month of extremes, weather wise,
since our last issue. A reasonable amount of
snow early on, and then some very warm, sun-
ny days just recently! I expect many of you took
advantage of the good weather to get back into
the garden and start all the work required after
winter - that’s exactly what the volunteers did
recently at St Mary’s.
We’d like to thank everyone who responded to
our plea for additional distributors in the last edi-
tion - we had our best response to such a plea
for some time! Anyone who contacted us and
offered their services should, by now, have re-
ceived a response.
Finally a quick word of warning. There was an
attempted distraction burglary in Silver Street
recently - the suspects claimed to be from the
Water Board. Please reduce your risk of becom-
ing a victim by using a chain if you have one,
and by asking and checking for ID. A genuine
visitor will not object to a thorough check of their
credentials.
Please remember to visit the website. There are
often articles there that we could not fit into the
print edition, as well as information that arrives
during the month. The address is:
