from the editor
We also finish our pub crawl through Arlesey with our second feature on
the pubs most of which are long closed down (pages 8 to 10).
I hope you enjoy reading what goes into the magazine which has given
me a lot of pleasure putting together. Remember if you have any news,
information, quirky stories or even a photo of someone reading ‘on the
button’ in a far-off or unusual place, please send it to us and we’ll try and get
it in the next months mag.
Finally ‘on the button’ is brought to you free but requires a lot of
background work and part of that work is done by my deliverers who do a
fantastic job of pushing them through letterboxes. I really appreciate the work
they do. Thank you.

ear readers,
This is issue number 24 of ‘on the button’ which means the magazine is
now two years old. Over the last 23 months we have published a wide range
of features and stories, this month is no exception. In fact now with 16 pages
and making more pages colour I hope I can add more content each month.
We carry on our recent theme of the First World War, by putting in again
the details and Order of Service for the Candle Service on 4th August (page
7) reflecting on the day and time 100 years ago Great Britain entered the
First World War.
There is also small piece on the recent exhibition of memorabilia organised
by and held at the Methodist Church. At this exhibition were some pieces
kindly lent by Clive Lombari which we have featured on page 11, with a story
about his Grandad. Clive is a member of the Town Council Archive Group.
