Greetings to all our web-footed friends! Last
time we spoke we were all looking forward
to a long, hot summer with plenty to
celebrate: the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee,
Old Alresford Fair, Andy’s Wimbledon, the
Bighton Flower and Produce Show, Seb’s
Olympics. And now look at us: dragging our
weary, wet feet from pillar to post, only one
topic of conversation on our lips - the
weather.
Of course, as you read this, the jet stream
may well have gone back to where it’s
supposed to be, and you may be lounging
in the garden with Pimms in hand, listening
to the drone of lawn-mowers and the sound
of merry children’s laughter in the distance,
having forgotten it ever rained, and still only
in the early weeks of the school holidays.
We may dream…
So what’s left to look forward to? Well,
hopefully you already have the Bighton
Fete in your diaries. Sunday, September 9th
is the day. We always seem to be lucky with
the weather, and the fête gets bigger and
better every year, thanks to the hard work
and dedication of our wonderful fête
committee. Please come along and support
them, and enjoy the last big outdoor event
of this eventful year.
Nearly forgot – a date is shortly to be set in
November for the annual inter-village quiz.
Start thinking about your teams now (and
it’s indoors – no macs required!)

We need as many readers as possible to
register an interest in bringing 21st century
broadband to our area. This does not
commit you to anything, but it will be your
way of helping your friends and neighbours
who do need the faster service and of
safeguarding your community’s future.
Please register at:
www.hants.gov.uk/broadband
or by telephone (01329 225398). It really is
very easy: you need only supply your
name and address and say why you want
fast broadband. *
* Examples could be:
· To be able to take advantage of the
many new entertainment and education
opportunities that are being developed;

Thank you.
