INSIDE CORNER
In this fast changing world it’s a delight to
find a little stability in our village life. We have several this month: West’s
Bakery is celebrating its Centenary, now into the fourth generation; Roy &
Doreen celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary, and there have been some
changes since they tied the knot. Who remembers the Egg Shop and the WI Hall?
The Walton Fête in its glorious setting is still prospering and still
enthusiastically supported after 47 years. We shall have to do something special in 2013.
WWN is a comparative infant at 26 years old
but we’ve changed quite a bit over the past few years and there may be more
changes afoot. The editorial team will be hosting a coffee morning on Saturday
11th September in the Church between 9.30 and noon. We hope many of
our faithful deliverers will be there and we hope you too will turn up bringing
ideas and suggestions for the future, or just come along and have a coffee with
us. We’d love to see you and hear from you.

Help wanted
Dear All
Would anyone be interested in
volunteering 3 hours a week from September until the end of 2010 to
assist me in my forthcoming busy months to Christmas?
You would need your own
vehicle as some driving will be necessary to villages in our catchment area. I
look forward to hearing from you if you would like to chat further.
With Best Wishes

Thank you
My warmest thanks to Mrs
Betty Fraser for her concern and prayer for recovery in hospital during my
recent operation. I would like to include others who prayed for me and would
welcome a telephone call or a visit from them.
