Tug of War at Horsington Fete

Summary

Below is a summary of the news in this month's Villager Magazine. Download the pdf at the top for the full edition.

  • The village fete was opened by Town Crier, Les Ellis, in full regalia. Les was brought up in Horsington House when it was a Dr. Barnardo's home and he writes touchingly about his time there with the good house parents "Dad and Ma".
  • 40 years after the closure of Dr. Barnardo's the annual reunion was well attended and John West wrote about his experience as an "old boy" of Horsington House.
  • Sound advice for emergencies is given in one article and the announcement of a defibrillator for the old Horsington telephone box is announced.
  • There is important school news in this edition of the Villager.
  • A list of events and contacts can be found as usual.
