Editorial
THE VERY LAST Crier before the Summer break, and because it's so very late, bringing you all the very latest news, of course.
If you hadn't heard, this relates to the currently unused recreation field, and specifically, to the travelling Walker Family, who walked in on it just as the PC had come up with a cunning plan to avoid extortionate legal costs threatened by the impending transfer to the Tigers Football Club.
More extortionate legal costs! But unlike certain Little Donwhamites , whose lynch-mob threats to torch traveller dwellings have reached the ears of Crier Eds, Priorites play fair. Read all about the extraordinary meeting, where even long-time sparring partners Crier reporter A. Everrit and one-time CC G. Woollard agreed to agree. Apparently.
Meanwhile , avid followers of the bonfire debate in the Red Lion snug will be delighted to see that Mark Lewinski continues to advise on behalf of the smoke-free lobby, but Howard (17 Rogers Rd) would like it to be known that his bonfires "only disturb the dead" - he waits until the wind blows in the direction of Devil's Dyke (are then any dead in the Dyke?).
Welcome to our new CC Hazel Williams who writes for the first time in this edition, but we may need a glossary. Who or what are "portfolio holders"? Surely not us? It was "stakes" we were all holding before.
Read a fascinating account of the history of tractors on this month's Down on the Farm, learn about Eric Bristowe's August 12 visit to the Bottisham British Legion and note that certain absconding cats feature in this month's issue, including one of the Eds (black, white bib - extremely friendly) so do get in touch if seen.
Don't forget St Cyriac's 22 September. Happy holidays everyone!
