This video about the dangers of dogs being kept in cars in high temperatures is from Hankerton’s very own Rory Cowlam !

Peter Wyman has very kindly forwarded a couple of photos from last weekend’s Strawberry Tea. You can see them if you <Click Here>.

If anyone else has any images please can they forward on to me and I’ll add them to the gallery.

Thanks,

Hankerton entered its first-ever team in the Sherston Boules festival on Saturday July 16.

Playing under the name Petanqerton (I’ve been waiting ages to fit that in somewhere!) the team of Terry Mockler, John Edwards & Brian Dalton won their first game 11-5 , then were narrowly defeated in the second 9-11, but concluded that we had put in a creditable performance.

Some considerable brain-power was used, as can be seen by the pensive expressions on the attached pic !

An enjoyable time was had by all: how about we enter more teams next year?

Terry Mockler

We are invited by the Cirencester Science & technology Society to join them as on past occasions.

Here are the details : Ironbridge Visit
