CONGRATULATIONS: To Tadley Town Council, as it came joint-second in the National Cemeteries Awards.

It is a great asset to the town. After all, when a loved one passes away, you might not want to travel a distance.

It is so tranquil at the cemetery with a meadow effect and gardens.

Obviously the judges thought so as well. We were only told that they would visit some time in the months leading up to a date and not when.

GREAT news: TADS (Tadley and District History Society) has produced another calendar, this time about local houses.

They cost £4, and are available from Adrian Noad, Poulters, Profile Print, Tadley Instruments, Tadley Council offices, Baughurst Post Office and Brambles Florists.

ADVICE bureau: Sir George Young is holding another advice bureau on Saturday, November 11, at the community centre in Newchurch Road, from 10am to 11am.

MINI market grand clearance sale: On Saturday, November 4, from 10.30am to noon.

INNOVATIONS Jazz Orchestra: Is at St Paul's Church on Monday, November 6, from 8.30pm to 9.30pm.
