The Swaffham Crier Online

Editorial

AND IT'S FESTIVAL TIME AGAIN! Too many events to do them justice in the Crier - residents can expect to receive a full programme through their letter-boxes. Crier photographers need to have those cameras ready though, posterity awaits...

We have four and a half pages of letters this month, including much heart-felt support for Lisa Arksey's Cooper's Green letter of last month. This is despite the fact that many of you of having severe problems getting in touch at all, our email currently discriminating against local broadband users. What is it about computers?? They are so obliging, make themselves so indispensible and THEN, just when you need them most.. .

Also figuring in Letters is Geoffrey Woollards Appeal DON'T DITCH OUR LODES, a campaign which, with a little help, Geoffrey fought and won 30 years ago, but now is going to have to start all over again: expect to hear more about this, and further rather disturbing reports of National Trust antics generally, in future issues.

May was an eventful month in Prior, with Feasts (moveable and otherwise), Assemblies, and all sorts going on - faithfully reported in this month's issue. Here you will also see a welcome return of a previous Crier editor - John Chalmers reports on the PC this month.

Lastly TWO STRAY CATS, one a pretty little grey and white, the other a longhaired grey, and with disproportionately BIG appetites, have moved in on Greenhead Rd. If you know anything about them please get in touch with Ruth Stinton, who will direct you to their current accommodation address. See you Festivalling, although probably not soap-boxing down Cage Hill!
