In his monthly article on page 19, Rupert Bates gives us a run-down of all the smaller events which lead up to Fair Day on 1st July. Our Village People candidate this month – Jo Kaddish - knows a thing or two about celebrating in the sunshine, as the organiser of many charity Cream Tea Garden Parties over the years. Get to know Jo in the article, written by Michèle Copeland, on page 24. If you know anyone who would make a great subject of this popular feature – we’d love to hear about it. Do email Michèle and I using the
[email protected] address. On page 21 Michèle finds out a little more about the New Parkland Project which the Parish Council has started, with the transfer in ownership of nearly 50 acres of parkland from developers to the council. It’s good to read that things are progressing in this regard. I recently had the privilege of meeting Matt and Sophie White – the owners of Danny Lodge, New Lane – and saw firsthand what an architect’s house looks like when they are able to build it themselves! It’s a fascinating story, not only of architecture and design, but of a couple smitten by the prospect of living right here in Hurst.
