News, comings & goings in the valley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alton Pancras AP The fact that the audience for the Saturday performance of the ambitious November music festival had to walk from their transport through driving rain and flood did absolutely nothing to dampen their spirits or their weather-related humour. They were well rewarded and will remember the music and skills of the three young performers in the lovely church setting long after the rain is forgotten. AP Talking of flood, couldn’t we ‘adopt’ the nearest drain to where we live, keeping it clear of leaves and debris? It may be authority’s responsibility but it’s of more vital and immediate interest to us. From the north they are located outside Little Holcombe bungalow, Box Cottage, 2 adjoining Holcombe Mead; 2 close to Grey Thatches; opposite Austral Cottage, 8 Boldacre, another just south of the postbox; just north of the ‘ new’ Austral farmyard entrance, 2 at the “original” farmyard entrance; church/manor entrance road close to the south pillar and one opposite at the field entrance; at the south end of the railings beyond the church etc lane and opposite outside Keeper’s Cottage; Snowdrop Cottage; 2 outside West View cottage and opposite, a grill and channel into the field; another outlet into the field opposite West View and Cherry Cottages; and an opportunity to create a channel through the field gate south of Meadow View into the field which is/was a watermeadow ! AP The AP Trust recently appointed two new members, Jonathan Pethen of Brookside and Heather Bland of Holcombe Mead. They join chairman Rex Goddard, secretary Sue Brazier, treasurer Terry Cowley, and existing members Andrew Graham, John Squibb and John Waterman. The Trust originates from the proceeds of the sale of the former school and village hall, today’s Higher Barton Hall, in 1977. April 1956 AP The collection at the Valley’s Service of Remembrance held in November at AP church produced a collection on the day of £371 for the British Legion’s Poppy Appeal. The Harvest Festival service raised £105 for the charity Send A Cow, which helps poor African families to move out of poverty. colinsuedean@btinternet.com 21
