New Year News

I know its not New Year quite yet, but I've just read in the Times that Angela Spellman has been awarded an MBE. I am absolutely delighted - it couldn't go to a more deserving person.

Angela has been organising the Mayor's Drive and Tea Party for decades, and is such an enthusiastic and bubbly person. She is integral to the smooth running and family atmosphere at Fair Close Day Centre, and I'm sure everyone there will be so pleased that her years of voluntary work have been rewarded in this way.

Another great bit of news for Newbury was the record breaking solo South Pole treck by local woman Hannah McKeand who has just completed her 690 mile expedition in just 39 days. Congratulations Hannah!
