With the weather being so changeable we are looking forward to spring and summer. The Arlesey Community Events group are organising some special events this year – a few are listed at the bottom of this column. The first of which is an Easter Treasure Trail and Easter Bonnet competition. Details are on page 6. The Arts Festival as advertised last month is pushing forward and more details on this will be announced in the coming months. Arlesey Cubs are celebrating 100 years in Arlesey with an exhibition of memorabilia at the Scout Hut. The exhibition is on the 2nd of March from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Arlesey Town Council are talking about the traffic restrictions and local policing for the area with their regular update (page 6). The main feature this month on pages 8 and 9 is an interview with Geoff Mitchell and centres on the film produced by Jodie Chillery about St Peter’s church. The film shows many aspects of the church and will be shown on Sunday march 6th at Eucharist Service at 9.30am. We also have the Arlesey Town Council Archive page with images from their vast range – see page 10. Ex Arlesey resident Eddie Smith gives us an insight into his time in the Home Guard in Arlesey during the second world war on page 12, plus the regular Three Counties column from Richard Knight on page 13. I mentioned last month about the contact I have from people in places I don’t expect. An email was sent to me in February which I wanted to share so I have added this in on page 6. Please feel free to send in any photos, ideas, comment or stories that you feel people might like to read. Thank you for reading on the button , and don’t forget Mothers Day on Sunday 6th March.
