The new administration at Wiltshire Council plans to remove vital funding to the Link schemes. This is a relatively small amount of money which allows several voluntary groups to operate across the county. Volunteers provide absolutely essential transport for rural residents. I know how crucial this service is for people who would otherwise struggle to be able to live in our villages.
The Hankerton Carol singers will be singing and bringing festive cheer around the village on Thursday 11th Dec raising money for the Malmesbury Food Bank.
Please join us – only enthusiasm and a warm coat needed!! All welcome.
Meet 6:00pm at the entrance to Follyfield.
Hopefully there might be a few mince pies on the way round the village too!! 🎄🎄

Also, I’m trying to collate a list of all the things going on this Christmas so that everyone gets the chance to take part in things they want to. They’re all listed on the home page but please can you let me know of any I might have missed and send me any details that I can add for any events.
What do you get if you eat Christmas decorations? Tinsilitis.
I’ve updated the website homepage with things I know about :
But does anyone have any other events that people might want to know about ? If so, just mail me at : simon.kearsley@symmetry.co.uk and I’ll add to the home page.
