“Apres moi, le deluge”
The Motto of 617 Squadron
Almost exactly 70 years ago, on the evening of 16th May 1943, an event took place that has become imprinted on the British character. There will be many of us who know the story rather well - the stressed but determined engineer, the 'press-on-regardless' pilot and his team of courageous flyers, the dog that was killed and the mighty concrete walls that came crashing down. Most of all we remember a piece of music that is still whistled ironically on holiday jets coming in to land at Malaga and Palma, played at football matches and used in TV commercials. The official name for this event was 'Operation Chastise' but to most people it is the 'Dambusters Raid'.

Sunday 16th June 1-5pm at Orleans House Gallery
Twickenham will once again come alive with the sights and sounds of Carnival, complimenting the borough's Gardens Festival for 2013. Join the vibrant parade as it leaves York House at 12noon and makes its way to the Carnival Village in the grounds of Orleans House Gallery in an explosion of music, dance and spectacular costumes. Celebrations continue into the afternoon with a variety of live music and dance, food from around the globe, games, arts activities and workshops suitable for the whole family.
a letter from a local resident
For a number of weeks I have been attempting to involve our St Margarets neighbourhood police team in doing something about sexually explicit advertisements on the notice boards of our two local news agents - this, in the knowledge that this type of advertisement is sometimes placed not by the individual offering such services, but by those who control them. The response from Constable Peebles is that in his opinion these are perfectly harmless and in the eyes of the police “there is no offence being committed”.
Players needed for competitive (but friendly) weekly 7-a-side football
I organise a group of local players that get together every Wednesday evening at 9pm for a game of 7-a-side, and we need a few extra players to keep the numbers up.
If you are interested in playing - it's a reasonable standard and competitive but always friendly and good natured - then drop me a note at richard.jackson100 (at) gmail.com.
We currently play at Goals at Gillette Corner and the cost is £8/session.
There are also occasional beers afterwards from time to time!
Sunday 7th July 2013 from 11 am - 4 pm
Come and sing with us in the beautiful Victorian Normansfield Theatre. Easy to learn, uplifting, soulful harmonies. Vibrant and nourishing songs of freedom, joy and peace. Gospels and spirituals from around the world. Nick's wonderful compositions and arrangements will make your heart sing. Everything taught by ear. No need to read music. Just for the sheer joy of singing together.

All Welcome!
