A glorious summer, even lasting to the end of September, culminating in a harvest safely brought home and celebrated with a Harvest Supper organised by Jenni Moseling and her many helpers. Thank you to all who contributed in any way. Our village church was once again beautifully decorated with flowers and produce to celebrate this special time of year. Particular thanks go to all who came along and helped with this and to John and Joy Hussey for making the Harvest sheaves. Local gardens were raided; Dahlias and flowers of the season were generously given by many. Thank you to all.

Please contact me at home, B/H Village Hall coffee mornings (Tuesday), Christmas Market (30th November), Village Shop, Church Services, I could pop up just any where!! A LITTLE ABOUT THE W.A.A. The W.A.A. is available 19 hours a day, 365 days a year and is one of only a few A.A. in the UK that can fly at night with the capability of ad hoc landings, allowing patients to get to hospital really quickly. (2014) 464 missions flown at the time of writing this piece. VERY EXCITING NEWS W.A.A. Takes delivery of a new helicopter in December 2014 when its current partnership with Wiltshire Police comes to an end. It will cost £2.5 million a year to keep the A.A. Flying, that's £6,850 per day. W.A.A. receives no money from the government and relies solely on charitable donations. This is not a luxury but a necessity: most of us are aware of someone that W.W.A. & crew have helped. Its all about speed and accessibility. MORE NEWS Also in the future there are plans for a new hangar and visitor centre in the centre of the county. So please give me a call if you would like to support the Heli.
