HICHELEY
I puzzle sometimes as to how to begin each Chicheley notes, but not this month. This report below came from Jo Parker who lives in Bedlam Walk and tells of a meeting with a Very Important Person, but let Jo explain in her own words. “I finally have some interesting news for you to add to SCAN, if you think it's appropriate. I was lucky enough to be invited to meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace earlier this month, at an event commemorating 50 years since the death of Winston Churchill. I was granted a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Fellowship back in 2001, just over a year after we moved to Chicheley, which enabled me to travel to Australia to meet my fellow librarians and discuss their work. The WCMT grants Fellowships every year, to people who apply from all walks of life, from a fund set up following Sir Winston's death. He felt that there was great benefit in travel and discovery, hence the fund. I had a fantastic time during my travels and also at the Palace! wcmt.org.uk is their website.” The photo shows Jo meeting the Queen, what a lovely invitation to have had.
