FUN run: Entry forms are now available in the parish magazine, from the Romans Hotel, The Calleva Arms and Pamber Heath Stores.

The closing date for postal entries is Friday, May 5, for the run over the usual course, on Saturday, May 13.

VILLAGE Fete: Is on Saturday, June 10, on the playing field of the common.

ROMAN Weekend: What a great weekend, after a rather slow start last Saturday morning.

The Roman entertainment, with soldiers and horseman, the booths with herbs, cooking, pottery etc, was really well set up.

I am sure the church development fund will benefit well, as very large crowds attended.

The Palm Sunday Walk to the Amphitheatre attracted about 300 visitors, some walking only, some combined with the service and others just for the service and the Passion Play.

Many thanks to all who worked so hard to plan and execute such a good weekend.

AGMs: The PTA's AGM at Silchester School is on Monday, April 24, at 8pm. The parish church council AGM is also on that day, but at 7.45pm, in the Mission Church and Silchester Association's AGM is at 8pm on April 28.
