MUSIC in the Park: This went very well with more than 500 people attending and listening to the music, which included the Drum Runners, Tadley Band, and school choirs made up of five local schools.

Then, Churches Together Around Tadley held a Songs of Praise, followed by various pop bands. The Loddon Valley Lions had a barbecue.

The event was a great success, but it was nearly marred when a person was seen walking away with a generator. The town clerk gave chase, and the thief dropped it and ran.
