Let me be among the first to wish
everyone a Happy New Year. A lot of you
out there have been up to all sorts of
good deeds and charitable events this
year so congratulations are in order this
month to all local people and
organisations for their contributions to
the community.
Special mention should go to Olney
Middle School, the service good
schooling provides carries on throughout
life, read about their achievements on
page 22.
Small local business as well need our
support, there are a wealth of them
about so do try to support them before
venturing further afield.
And finally I should say very well done to
Santa, you did a sterling job last month.
We had a bumper crop of Santa Letters
this year and he worked very hard indeed
answering them all!!
