Reading Relay for Life 2009

I have been asked to put this up on our website:
We would like to invite you to an inspirational and unforgettable fundraising event at the Reading Rugby Club on 20th-21st June 2009; the first Reading RELAY for Life 2009. This fantastic event celebrates the lives of those touched by cancer and raises money to support the life saving work of Cancer Research UK. This non-athletic event sees teams of colleagues,friends family,and neighbours walk around a track for 24 hours. Each team tries to keep at least one member on the track at all times, whilst all around them the party is in full swing with camping throughout the night. Throughout the day and into the evening a wide variety of entertainment will be provided including: cheerleaders, dove releases, Fireman's band, Berkshire Youth Orchestra, Rosemary Connelly fitness club, bands, singers, BBQs, balloon races, fancy dress, magician, stall holders, DJs and birds of prey demonstrations and much more to be confirmed!!
It is never too late to ENTER NOW!! But, if you can't do this then please come down to Reading Rugby Club from 12 noon Saturday 20th June to 12 noon Sunday 21st June 2009 to lend some support to this community event. With lots to entertain people of all ages there will be something for everyone!
On a serious note, Cancer Research UK relies heavily on fundraising activities such as these to keep up its vital work for everyone in the community. However small the donation it will go towards helping Cancer Research UK to allow the important work to continue.

Brightwalton Fete Video Part 1.

This is part 1 of our fete videos, as I have so much footage too much to put it all in one long one.I am now making Part 2. As there was a lot of background 'wind' noise I added some music and took out the actual audio of the video in places.

Wantage in The Daily Mail

Wantage was in the Daily Mail.
I wonder if anybody saw this article in the Daily Mail, its a bit exaggerated, what do you think?

Local teenagers mull around the bus stop bench for want of anything better to do.... it's always been their meeting point, so nothing new there! One said he can't get work in a pub or wine bar cos they've all closed down! Which ones have closed?
New Sainsburys moved to the 'outskirts of town' what 100 yards from the High street?
