Congratulations…

Jon has asked me to thank all our lovely jazz fans who sent in their EDP forms to help him get a grant for the cricket pitch and changing rooms , so that the youngsters at the Sports Pavillion can have more facilities…

It is so good that there are people who care about the youngsters of today, as when I was young we could wander anywhere safely, and lots of places to play and do sport, in fact I sometimes look back and wonder what Health and Safety would say if, what we got up to in the past was done nowadays, but we were lucky and had 2 cinemas in the town that did us proud. We could wander over the common without getting hit with a golf ball as well! Walk in the streets in the dark without having to worry… Not so many cars so we could play in the street as well…But it was just after the war I suppose and a different world then.

So it is good that there are people and places that help the youngsters of today, because of the different world that is nowadays, too much violence and pressure for them , so to be able to have people who care is a great thing, in this little part of our Country…

This morning he has found out he has got the grant, so thanks to you all, glad I pestered you!

Well done Jon and Marilyn you do a grand job…
