INSIDE CORNER

So much going on and so much to get involved in, Mr. Cameron’s “Big Society” is alive and well in Wellesbourne. And there are so many opportunities to get involved: the Youth bus needs an extra driver, the Village Hall needs a Bookings Secretary, Cllr Close is mooting the possibility of volunteer help in the Library to lessen the impact of the cuts, and most of the village societies and clubs couldn’t exist without their willing band of volunteer helpers. Collectively this is what makes Wellesbourne one of the best and liveliest places to live and work in Warwickshire.

More power to your volunteering elbows and thank you all,

Mac

Friends of St Peter’s
