The West Wiltshire Industrial Archaeological Society invited the Hankerton History group to join them in their activities. Whilst it is quite a long way to go this particular talk by Mr Knee himself it was of course of great general interest there being a branch of the company in Malmesbury. Claudine and David attended the meeting and represented us. We are invited to future meetings and details will be circulated.
Notes from the meeting : H J Knee talk 12 feb 14.
The Hankerton History group are invited to join The Friends of the Athelstan Museum on a visit to the Viking Exhibition on 14th April. The Friends are running a coach from Malmesbury Station carpark to leave at 7.30am on that day. Cost will be £45.00 to cover the coach, the reception at the museum, an hours talk on the Vikings by an expert and entry to the museum. Tickets are only available at the Athelstan Museum. For more info check http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/vikings.aspx
If you are would like to go it would be a good idea to buy your tickets now as when I last checked they only had 20 left. I would be grateful if you could also let me know that you are going.

We have 5 users on the new Cotswold Wireless broadband and after some initial teething problems we are seeing data speeds of between 15-20Mb. Cotswold Wireless have also updated their system to provide a dedicated aerial on the Braydon Water Tower to serve the village.
Speeds in the village using terrestrial copper broadband prior to the availability of the CW solution were between 0.8 and 2M, so the improvement is significant. Installation of equipment has taken around 2 hours per house.
The unanimous consensus of current users is very positive. I am sure others will add to the feedback as we see greater numbers adopting the new service.
For those who are interested in adopting the new system please visit their website to find out more. Select the service you are interested in and press ‘Learn More‘ and then ‘Order‘. This process puts you under no obligation. Cotswold Wireless will then contact you to undertake a survey and installation. Given the fact we now have the local repeater there should be coverage for the whole of the village and Cloatley Road.
If you have any questions feel free to call me on 07785 106035.
