COMFORT AND JOY

11:33am Tuesday 30th December 2008 in Community

• THE Westham Youth Forum went Carol Singing on Sunday, December 21 in Bedford Road, Wiltshire Avenue and Shirecroft Road.

The event was supported by around 20 youth and adults and all the money raised went into the youth forum funds.

Whilst singing they also delivered the Westham News Bulletin to each house which was a great help to the few volunteers who deliver the bulletin.

The youth forum would like to thank Maureen who treated them after they finished singing to a barbecue, hot chocolate and a small selection box. There was mulled wine for the adults.

• IT HAS been brought to my attention that washing has been disappearing from a garden in Westham.

The matter has been reported to the police.

If anyone else has been affected by this or any other incidents, please report it to the police on 222222 no matter how trivial it may seem as it may help them to build up a bigger picture of the problem.

• WESTHAM COPS Community Group will be holding their next meeting on Tuesday, January 13 at the Fiveways Centre in Radipole Lane at 6.30pm for the committee and an open meeting will start at 7.15pm.

COPS would like as many people from the community as possible to attend as the main item on the agenda will be Events for 2009 and if anyone has any ideas the meeting is the place to put them forward.

A reminder that the area of Westham covers Littlesea, Lanehouse and Westham estates and roads in those areas, parts of Chickerell Road and roads leading off it and Abbotsbury Road and roads leading off it.

• SUNDAY, January 4 at St Paul's Church Abbotsbury Road, at 4pm promises to be a treat. Music and Readings for Epiphany by the Harmonia Singers (director David Bruce-Payne)everyone is welcome at the church.
