DKHomeImprove_Ad02:Layout 1 July is here and once again there is so much going on, I have had to squeeze in lots of information and stories. But I have to say if you only read one article (hopefully you will read more) please read the article on Meredith Moss on page 8. Written and researched by Jodie Chillery, its another great feature from the ‘Day in Arlesey’ series. In June there were flying Teddy bears, dancing schoolchildren, more open air Royal birthday celebrations and later in the month were floating ducks (unfortunately after on the button was sent to press). The Church information is on page 4 with an update from Arlesey Town Council page 9. On page 10 is Acorn’s final article on the work they do and the projects they get involved with plus information on their future. Richard Knight once again writes his Three Counties Column. This time he has written an article on the Fire Brigade, see page 12. Town Council Archive Group have news on their exhibition later this year and submit some pictures from old school days – see page 14.
