A WARM BANK HOLIDAY IN THE BLACKWATER VALLEY - SUMMER IS ON THE WAY!!

Despite the poor forecast for the Blackwater Valley on Bank Holiday Monday, it turned into a glorious day. Many events across the region went very well with excellent turnouts.

Whilst our local MP’s may be too embroiled in defending their expense claims to enjoy the sunshine, most of us got great pleasure from the last Bank Holiday until the autumn - I got some gardening done, got my family’s bikes out of winter storage and road worthy and spent a great afternoon at the Sandhurst Donkey Derby
