wo years ago an advertisement placed
by BLEW opposing a wind energy
development caused a bit of a stir. In fact
the Advertising Standards Authorities got
involved, letters were sent, and we were not
far from the middle of it! A lot of people
might think that it stopped there, well it
didn't - see Michael Jefferson's article on
page 30.
Autumn is upon us and that means Bonfire
Night. There are a variety of local bonfire
nights to choose from, take a look inside
and if you can get to more than one, why
not! Support for Guy Fawkes has never
been stronger!!
Alas, if you haven't got your own local
firework display, don't despair, have a look
at The Buzz on page 46 and see what one
Newport Pagnell resident is doing about it!
Anyway, take care and enjoy yourselves.
