Local Elections 2011You might be forgiven after last year's monster election, for not noticing that once again on May 5th we shall go to the polls to elect a District Councillor. David Close is one of our sitting Councillors and, after 8 years service, he is seeking re-election. David will be familiar to many people from the regular surgeries he and Cllr Johnston hold at the coffee shop in the Precinct as well as chairing the Wellesbourne and Kineton Forum and acting as a trustee of the Chedham’s Yard Trust. Our village is at an important stage with a number of projects in the pipeline either going on or projected and Cllr Close is at the heart of many of them so don’t miss your opportunity to vote in the forthcoming election on May 5th. MOON WALKING 2011Karen Pettigrew, also known as our local post mistress, is off on another charity mission on May 14th 2011. This time she has entered the Moon Walk – joining 14,999 other women and men who will be walking either a Marathon or a Half Marathon pounding the streets of London through the middle of the night, uniting against breast cancer. Wearing a decorated bra and, she assures us, more clothing than she wore for the Wellesbourne Blooms Calendar, Karen will be undertaking the full Marathon and says that her biggest challenge will be staying awake, let alone the distance involved! For further information please call Karen on 07503 152170 or to sponsor her via the www please go to www.walkthe walkfundraising.org/karen_pettigrew .
