ÂŁ1 HOUSE DEAL TO FIELD HOME BOOST Rundown property is sold by council to association

Soldiers’ sacrifice remembered

NAMES of 16 First World War soldiers from Aldermaston and Wasing not engraved on their war memorials have been unearthed by a historian.

To put right the wrong, a new plaque

with all 44 soldiers’ names, designed

by Aldermaston schoolchildren (pictured), is to be unveiled at a ceremony on September 25 at St Mary’s Church in Aldermaston.

The date will mark exactly 100 years since six of the soldiers died in the Battle of Loos. • See page 5 for full story

A BOARDED-up building in Thatcham was sold for just ÂŁ1

by West Berkshire Council for a housing association to bulldoze it and build affordable homes.

Taceham House, The Haywards, was used as temporary accommodation by the council until it was shut six years ago after becoming rundown.

A deal struck on Monday saw the site sold to Sovereign Housing Association for the building of 10 houses and flats for people at affordable rent – up to 80 per cent of market rates.

Executive member for housing, Hilary Cole, said: “Taceham House is a property which is old, in need of extensive maintenance and not in keeping with the local area. “We’ve been working with Sovereign to transfer the property to them and they will now build brand new affordable rent accommodation for local people and provide us with temporary accommodation for people in need as well.�

As part of the contract, Sovereign will be leasing two nearby properties to the council to use as temporary accommodation for homeless families.

Demolition work on Taceham House is due to start in October,

By Katriona Ormiston kartiona@taylornewspapers.co.uk

with the building work due to be fi nished in autumn 2016.

The homes will be allocated to some of the 1,162 households on the council’s housing register.

Sovereign’s asset and regeneration director, Roger Keeling, said: “We’ve worked with West Berkshire Council to provide the types of homes the area needs, particularly one-bedroom houses and flats for people just starting out, or those who want to downsize. “With the sale now complete, we’ll press ahead transforming this derelict building into muchneeded affordable homes.�

Town councillor for North Thatcham Lee Dillon, who works for Sovereign, said he had to leave meetings while negotiations were ongoing.

He added: “Thatcham needs more affordable housing and I welcome any opportunity for this to be built. I’m pleased this is progressing and look forward to it being used as family homes.�

Sovereign said it could not release designs for the new homes but would do so when it was ready.

Mayor backs idea for boxing shows THE Mayor of Newbury says the town should give outdoor boxing a go after the idea was circulated by local groups.

Newbury Business Improvement District and Thames Valley Amateur Boxing Club (ABC) presented the idea to West Berkshire Council earlier this month for public demonstrations.

However, head coach of Thames Valley ABC, Paul Cooke, believes the scale of the plans has been overstated.

Mr Cooke said: “We initially wanted a demonstration of some of our boys and girls. They would

By Alex Ballinger

alex@taylornewspapers.co.uk

be doing some pad work, some partner work and a bit of sparring to show off their training.�

The demonstration would feature boxers aged between 10 and 19 and take place in Market Place on October 13.

However, Mr Cooke said public tournaments were not yet on the cards. He added: “It’s all been a bit blown out of proportion.�

Mayor of Newbury Harold

Bairstow said he believed the idea is worth looking at.

He said: “I think we’ve got to suck it and see. If it’s handled right and people use their training, I can’t see a problem.�

The Business Improvement District has applied to West Berkshire Council for an amendment to its public events licence to allow it to stage the boxing skill demonstrations.

Mr Cooke said: “I would like to see something a bit bigger in May or in June in Market Place. “Tournaments are expensive so we have no plans for that yet.�

News Bites Hearing delayed

Charlie Marshall from Newbury said on Twitter: “No particular feeling on boxing but like the idea of more events for Newbury so would support this.�

Newbury Town Council leader, David Goff, said: “It’s not like a fully-fledged boxing match, it’s more a demonstration of boxing skills and abilities. It is not for the public to have a go. “I think it is a good thing for some people, increasing confidence and self-esteem. “It is not everybody’s cup of tea but I don’t think there will be a splatter of blood everywhere.�

Lights revised

NEWBURY: Traffic lights in the town are being realigned to try to cope with extra queues while the bridge over the railway at Boundary Road is shut.

West Berkshire Council’s highways and transport service is revising the timings at the A339/Bear Lane junction and Robin Hood roundabout in a bid to accommodate the extra vehicles.

The Boundary Road rail bridge has been closed for preparation works until November, ahead of Network Rail’s plans to replace the bridge with a taller structure next year.

The work is part of its Great Western Electrification Programme to allow a new fleet of longer, faster trains to pass under using overhead electric cables to power them through Newbury travelling on the route from Swansea to London.

Publishers Statement

THATCHAM: A plea and case management hearing has been delayed for a man charged with attempted murder after an incident at a Thatcham restaurant.

Quiang Gao, 39, of Acorn Drive in Thatcham, was due to enter a ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty’ plea at Reading Crown Court on Monday.

But the hearing was delayed until September 10, as there was not a judge available to hear it, Reading Crown Court confirmed.

Gao is accused of the attempted murder of a 40-yearold man who sustained serious head injuries at the Szechuan Inn restaurant, in High Street, on May 28.

Ikea store work starts BUILDING work on Ikea’s first Berkshire store has got under way ready for a 2016 opening.

The Swedish furniture designers have appointed construction managers RG Group to oversee the work for the shop in Calcot.

West Berkshire Council approved plans for the Ikea in Pincents Lane Retail Park in 2012, to be called Ikea Reading.

But they were then amended to decrease the size of the store, giving it two floors rather than three. The fi nal designs were agreed last month.

The new store manager, Johanna Heuren, said: “We are delighted to have recently received fi nal approvals from West Berkshire Council on our plans for the Ikea Reading store and that construction of the store can now begin.

“The exciting plans for Ikea Reading see the redevelopment of the derelict Pincents Lane site to provide a brand new, modern Ikea store that offers a range of high quality, competitively priced products and a fantastic shopping experience.”

Nearby residents raised concerns about increased traffic.

As part of the planning application, a £4million road improvement project has to be completed.

J Breheny Contractors have been appointed to manage and deliver the roadworks, which have already started. The

News Bites Nuisance move

WEST BERKS: Nuisance callers are being deterred after 555 sheltered houses and flats joined West Berkshire’s ‘No Cold Calling Zones’ (NCCZ).

Audrey Needham House in Newbury and Nevil Court in Thatcham became the first supported housing in West Berkshire to become a NCCZ in April.

Since then, another 555 Sovereign Housing Association sheltered properties, home to 647 residents, have also joined the scheme.

Earl opens base conditions include new traffic lights, junctions and the widening of Pincents Lane from Sainsbury’s to the Ikea store, replacing the roundabout on the A4 at the junction with Pincents Lane and Dorking Way with a new traffic signal junction, and improvements to the M4 junction 12 including widening parts of the road.

West Berkshire councillor for Calcot, Manohar Gopal, said he could already see the difference the works were making in easing traffic pinch-points.

He said: “The traffic is now very smooth, it is very much improved. It was really bad before.

“I’m really pleased something is now happening .

“Everyone is waiting for this all over the world so it will be very good to have one nearby.”

CALCOT: Prince Edward officially opened Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service’s new HQ in Calcot yesterday.

The Earl of Wessex unveiled a plaque and toured the base alongside chairman of Royal Berkshire Fire Authority, Colin Dudley, and Chief Fire Officer Andy Fry. The Queen’s son marked the official opening, but the new headquarters became operational in autumn last year.

Village man died during slaughter of the Somme

P R I VAT E R o l a n d Abbott from Aldermaston is one of the 44 men to be remembered on the new plaque.

During his research David Whithorn discovered details about his part in the First World War. • Aged 22, he arrived in France on December 8, 1915, with the 8th Battalion Devonshire Regiment.

• He started a long period of training behind lines with his regiment and only moved up to the front line on March 4, 1916, at Becordel, just behind the German-held fortified hilltop villages of Fricourt and Mametz.

• He was killed on July 1, 2016, in the Battle of the Somme the worst day in the history of the British Army. On the same day, about 19,000 were killed and 35,000 wounded.

• In the 8th Devonshire Regiment 40 were killed, 160 wounded, and seven missing.

By the standards of the day, the 8th Devonshire had been both successful and got off lightly as regards casualties.

• Private Abbott is buried at Devonshire Cemetery close to Mametz on the Somme.

‘Forgotten’ fallen marked by plaque “I can’t bring these soldiers back to life but we can tell their story,” an Aldermaston historian vowed.

During a research project, David Whithorn discovered that 16 Aldermaston and Wasing soldiers who died in the First World War were not named on their local war memorials.

And to mark 100 years since six of them perished in the Battle of Loos, a new plaque of all 44

soldiers is to be unveiled on September 25 at St Mary’s Church in Aldermaston.

Historian Mr Whithorn, who works at Aldermaston’s Atomic Weapons Establishment, will also be passing over a folder of information gathered about the

soldiers to be kept in the church.

The 56-year-old said: “They had been just names read out each year but it wasn’t known who those men were.

“It is fantastic fi nding the 16. I can’t bring these soldiers back to life but we can tell their story.”

Mr Whithorn launched the project in May and while compiling the data discovered that a group of six died on September 21, 1915, in the Battle of Loos in France.

“Tragically it was a battle that went very badly wrong – it was the fi rst time the British Army used gas in battle and we gassed a lot of our own men,” he said.

“We can’t say if they all died from gas because there was a lot of machine gun fi re as well, but it is important that we remember them now.”

The plaque was partly designed by children from Aldermaston Church of England Primary School. Mr Whithorn visited the school dressed in the uniform of a 1915 soldier on their last day of the school year, July 17.

The 11-year-olds were taught about the war and hand-wrote the names of the 44 men. The hand-written names were digitised and inscribed on the plaque.

AWE spokesman Catherine Lynagh said: “They split the 44 names among the class so they had almost two names per child.

“They practised writing them numerous times so they were defi nitely right for the plaque.”

The memorial includes several sets of brothers and two Canadian soldiers, who were born in Aldermaston.

Canadian diplomats, schoolchildren, Royal British Legion representatives and West Berkshire Council members will be at the plaque’s unveiling at 11am.

News Bites Bid for solar farm

ALDERMASTON: Plans have been submitted to West Berkshire Council for planning permission to build a 17,820-panel solar farm in Sulhamstead.

A planning application was filed by Green Cat Renewables on behalf of Mulbrick Clean Energy LLP last Tuesday for the 5MW solar farm by Stud Farm in Sulhamstead Abbots to power up to 1,000 homes a year.

The solar farm would be split into two areas on grassland north and south of the farm, off Sulhamstead Road.

It would cover about 10 hectares – the size of about 14 football pitches.

A target decision date for the council’s decision on the plan has not yet been set.

325-home plans

THEALE: Plans for 325 homes to be built by Lakeside in Theale went on show to residents last Wednesday.

The housing development would be around the lake on land between The Green, the Theale bypass and Volunteer Road.

Central Corporation Securities (Reading) Limited is planning to submit an outline planning application for homes north and south of the lake, with a footbridge across it.

Plans went on show at The Pavilion in Englefield Road.

The land south of the lake was given planning permission for 350 homes by a Government inspector.

The new proposal, under different ownership, would be instead of those plans.

Schools delighted to see improved GCSE results

By Alex Ballinger alex@observergroup.co.uk

NEWBURY pupils saw the end of months of hard work and nerves when they picked up their GCSE results on Thursday.

Most schools across West Berkshire were celebrating this

week after seeing their GCSE results improve.

West Berkshire saw 65 per cent of students achieving at least five A* to C grades including English and maths.

Executive member of West Berkshire Council for education, Dominic Boeck, said: “These are very encouraging results with most schools improving their outcomes.

• Four pupils at St Bartholomew’s School celebrate after picking up their results last Thursday

“With the school year beginning next month, we need to work with the four schools whose results dropped to understand why this happened.

“There will be time for that reflection over the next few weeks, but today should be a celebration of all the young people who worked hard to achieve their GCSEs.” Among the schools which saw

an improvement was St Bartholomew’s School in Andover Road, Newbury. A record 81 per cent of GCSE students gained at least five A* to C grades including maths and English, with a third of all grades being A* or A. Park House School pupils had reason to celebrate with 60 per cent of them achieving five or more passes at A* to C. Headteacher at the school in

• 60 per cent of students achieved five A* to Cs at Trinity School

Andover Road, Newbury, Derek Peaple, said: “We are delighted with this year’s excellent GCSE results, which continue our positive trend of year on year improvement.

“This fantastic year group thoroughly deserve their success, which reflects the hard work and commitment of students and staff working closely together.”

Some exceptional results went to Katherine Langley who scooped 8 A*s and 4 As and Abigail Pass who got 7 A*s and 5 As. Trinity School students also had plenty to celebrate with 52 per cent students achieving five A* to C grades.

Thatcham’s Kennet School in Stoney Lane saw a 100 per cent pass rate, with 26 per cent of all grades being A* and A.

News Bites New flats scheme

NEWBURY: Amended plans to turn town-centre offices into flats have been submitted to West Berkshire Council.

Crookham Common-based Goldfinch Homes last week filed a planning application to turn 50 (Phoenix House) and 51 Bartholomew Street into nine flats.Previously approved plans in June 2014 and May this year had included 52 Bartholomew Street, but 52 has now been omitted from the plans.

The grade II-listed building would keep its 22 parking spaces. The conversion would create six two-bed flats and three one-bed flats. Phoenix House was used in the 1800s as the brewer’s house for the now-closed neighbouring Phoenix Brewery.

Safety tips time

WEST BERKS: More than 100 children from across West Berkshire picked up cycling and scooter safety tips during a fun day at Newbury Showground.

The four- to 18-year-olds (pictured) raced in time trials and were the training on Monday, August 3. They also got the chance to watch and learn skills from professional BMX stunt rider Matti Hemmings.

The day was run by West Berkshire Council’s Public Health & Wellbeing Team partnered up with British Cycling.

Council to contest homes plan ruling

By Katriona Ormiston katriona@observergroup.co.uk

WEST Berkshire Council has appealed to the High Court against an appeal decision allowing up to 90 homes to be built in Burghfield Common.

The council issued a claim for the Government planning inspector’s ruling to be quashed after he granted planning permission for the houses on 17 acres of farmland at Firlands Farm in Hollybush Lane opposite The Willink School in July.

The council, which had rejected the homes scheme in October last year, lodged its application for a judicial review on August 13.

Council planning portfolio holder, Alan Law, said: “It is very important that planning inspectors are challenged when we believe they get things so wrong that it prejudices the council in determining other planning applications for housing.”

Henry Davidson Developments (HDD) Burghfield Common Limited, which has named the site Hollybush Oaks, had originally applied to build up to 129 homes on the land in July 2014.

Dunlop to resign over homes plan ‘madness’ A BASINGSTOKE and Deane councillor has vowed to leave the Liberal Democrats before the local elections come around next year.

Whitchurch councillor Eric Dunlop made the decision after plans to build houses on land currently used for a recycling yard in the ward were approved at a council meeting earlier this month.

Cllr Dunlop had labelled plans to redevelop the site in Hurstbourne Station into 30 homes and 1,156sqm of office space as a “stab in the back for Whitchurch” ahead of the meeting on Wednesday, August 12.

And he admitted that the project being given the green light had played a major role in his decision to resign from the party and become an independent candidate.

“This is an absolutely ludicrous development and I’m really not happy about it,” said Cllr Dunlop.

“I think that it’s just madness that they passed it, and they should all get their heads tested.

“I thought that someone from the party would support me on this issue but they didn’t, so I think I will be much better off and stand more of a chance of being listened to as an independent.”

Councillor’s Column

Cllr Clive Pinder

The councillor also questioned the Liberal Democrats’ decision to remove him from his position on the borough council’s development control committee earlier this year, with Baughurst and Tadley North’s Cllr Michael Bound currently the party’s only representative.

He said: “I just don’t agree with their policies any more, so when the next election comes round I’ll be an independent.

“It really disappointed me because I have always looked at planning as my forte and that has now been completely sabotaged.”

Cllr Dunlop was confident of retaining his position as an independent councillor at next year’s elections.

His Whitchurch seat is part of the one third of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council seats to be recontested in May. He added: “I might decide to retire gracefully at the next elections but I’m not sure yet.

“But if I do stand, I’m not worried because the people of Whitchurch vote for people, not policies.”

Voice your view on solar farm plans

• Whitchurch councillor Eric Dunlop was unhappy with a decision to approve a housing development in the ward earlier this month

Find us on Twitter

@BasingstokeNews

THE time when our voices as residents need to be heard, is when major developments are planned.

Last week, The Observer reported on plans to put 19,000 solar panels on green-field land at Wildwood Farm, Old Basing.

My belief is that we should prioritise brown-field sites over green-field ones when it comes to commercial or residential development, and that nothing should be done that risks major housing developments flooding the Loddon Valley.

We also need to consider closely the economic value of solar energy over other green energy sources.

It is no accident this development is being rushed forward as a result of the Government’s announcement it is shutting down subsidies received for this type of plan because the

fund is already £1.5bn overspent, presumably because so many schemes have already been approved and built. Solar energy in the right climate is a good thing, but not at any cost.

However, as borough councillors, we are elected to represent the wishes of residents and local parish councils, which is why it is important that your voices are heard.

There was a disappointing turnout to the community information evening.

However, there is still time to express your opinion on these plans. I urge you to share your thoughts with the Old Basing & Lychpit Parish Council at www. oldbasing.gov.uk/contact-us/ or with your borough councillors.

Ultimately people power should decide on solar energy in our communities. Make sure your voice is heard.

The completion of the 73,000 sq ft retail development is part of the council’s £200m regeneration of Basing View, with cabinet member for fi nance and resources Cllr John Izett calling for further patience from the public.

“Building the new store is extremely complex and inevitably has resulted in some disruption,” said Cllr Izett.

“We are working hard to minimise the impact on motorists and pedestrians using Basing View and so thank everyone affected for their patience and understanding.”

He added: “Completion of the re-routed road serving Eastrop Roundabout is a big step forward in bringing high profi le retailers John Lewis at Home and Waitrose to the town centre in time for the festive period.”

Family pays poignant tribute to ‘a loyal husband and father’ THE family of a Basingstoke cyclist who died after a crash on the A31 have expressed their “terrible shock” at the news of his death.

Lee Martin suffered fatal injuries in the collision with a white Ford Transit van near the A31 junction with • Lee Martin Station Road, near Bentley, on Wednesday, August 12.

The 48-year-old was then pronounced dead after being rushed to hospital.

Mr Martin’s family released a statement about their loss, saying: “Lee’s sudden death has

THE long-awaited unveiling of a new Basing View superstore moved a big step closer at the weekend.

A road built as part of the construction of a combined John Lewis at Home and Waitrose supermarket was opened on Saturday following a year’s wait.

The road links Norn Hill with Eastrop roundabout and is a crucial cog to the much-anticipated project, which is due to create 330 jobs in Basingstoke when it opens in October.

Construction company Bowmer and Kirkland, which was appointed by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council’s development partners Muse Developments for the build, was quick to express its pleasure at the news.

Project manager Kevin Cowie said: “We’re delighted to be opening the new road and would like to thank motorists, local residents and staff in the Basing View businesses for all their patience and co-operation during what is a very complex programme of works.

“Please continue to bear with us as we progress towards completion of the new stores, which will be a great benefit to the entire community.”

A section of Basing View directly in front of the new development will be shut for about 12 weeks, while cladding

Before considering flowers, dresses, decoration, invitations, outfit, it is first of all vital to consider what you want your day to be: super stylish, cool and relaxed, rustic, urban, retro, vintage or romantic.

Bridal Make-up, Hair & Beauty Treatments

With St Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day in March, there are lots of ways to include an Irish theme.

Make a harvest knot to wear on your wedding day, or place one in your bouquet to symbolize your Irish heritage. Have a Ceilidh with traditional Irish dances.

Wear Irish Lace,and serve a traditional Irish Wedding Feast. Give Celtic-inspired gifts marked with the claddagh (two hands and a heart),Give love Tokens of Hair - theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re symbolic of acceptance.

Wedding packages for make-up, hair and pre-wedding treatments including nails and tanning. Or why not get yourself a microdermabrasion before the big day? It is a method of exfoliation removing dead skin cells and drains clogged pores, giving softer, smoother, fresher looking skin.

Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossoms stand for virtue and new beginnings .Have a thick layer of flower petals carpeting the aisle For centrepieces, use compact flowers like hydrangeas or peonies with crystalbeaded willow for dramatic height, and scatter petals generously.

Hand your bridesmaids parasols, or fans. Coordinate all your gowns with beautiful, rich brocade sashes. To add a bit of glow, hang round paper lanterns from the ceiling,

Butterfly

A springtime bride might pair butterflies with blossoming branches and pastel petit fours, wear pretty silver and rhinestone jewellery sets. Have the groom wear a single fabric butterfly in his buttonhole.

Dress flower girls in wings and carry a white satin petal basket thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filled with butterfly petals instead of the usual rose petals.

Taking care of your motor Fastfit Service Centre is located at Unit One, Moniton Trading Estate in West Ham Lane.

And the independent automotive specialist is proud to be expanding in a bid to give its customers exactly what they want.

“Everything your car needs is here under one roof’’, explained manager Byron Lewis who, like his team of experts, has spent a lifetime in the automotive industry.

He added: At Fastfit we offer hourly rates which are some of the best in Basingstoke. No job is beyond us and we are quite simply a one-stop shop and more besides. Whether it’s an entire engine

overhaul or just tweaking the brakes, we will do it, and do it well.’’

The business is continually expanding and includes a new mobile tyre fitting and home start service. A comprehensive diagnostic service can also be provided and the business issues many dealer level tools ranging from Ford, Jaguar to Land Rover and Volkswagen.

Fastfit offers everything from MOTs and minor servicing to major repairs and complex engine work.

More complex issues include an Engine Control Unit (ECU) remapping service which makes the vehicle more

responsive and smoother to driver. In these tough time, it also slightly increases the miles-per-gallon!

Fastfit Service Centre also stocks a range of budget or performance tyres and it can also custom build stainless steel exhaust systems.

“Come and give us a try. You won’t be disappointed,’’ concluded Byron.

What our customers think My car had been taken to three different repair centres which was suffering from low power none of them diagnosed the problem. I took it to these guys for a remap and full exhaust in the hopes it would fix it. It was better but Byron still thought it wasn’t right so spent another couple of hours diagnosing it!

He didn’t charge me extra and even finished after they should of closed.

You just don’t get that kind of service these days. Amazing!

Cheers, Clive Baldwin

Look at our Opening Times!

Mon to Fri: 7am – 8pm Sat: 8am – 1pm

Excellent service! Very polite and great value for money prices! I will recommend to friends and family. If you need your car repaired at the right price don’t look any further.

at the factory. A dealer wanted upwards of £100 to do the job, I contacted Fast Fit and they have the same Dealer Software. Done the job quick and for a third of the price! These guys definitely know what they’re talking about and Great service from the whole I would recommend of the Fast Fit team. They know what them to anyone! they are talking about and are happy Chris H to help with any query.

I wanted something activated on my car that had not been done

Wilde’s classic story to kick off new season at The Watermill

By James Richings jamesr@taylornewspapers.co.uk

THE Watermill Theatre in Newbury will be in full flow after the summer break, with its new lineup starting on September 5.

Kicking off the programme at the Bagnor-based venue will be the children’s production, ‘The Selfish Giant’, which will be performed by actress Lizzie Lewis.

Based on the story by Oscar Wilde, the play focuses on children who love to play in a beautiful deserted garden belonging to a giant who doesn’t like children.

The production is suitable for children aged two to six, with audience members being encouraged to bring their own cushions.

September will also see the appearance of Winston Churchill’s granddaughter-in-law Minnie Churchill, who will be talking

openly about the wartime Prime Minister’s paintings and love of art on September 8.

The end of the month will see start of ‘The Ladykillers’ production which begins on September 24 and runs until October 31.

Written by Graham Lineham, who is famous for creating the comedy shows such as, ‘Father Ted,’ ‘Black Books’ and ‘The I.T Crowd,’ the 2011 stage play focuses on criminal mastermind Professor Marcus and his gang of oddball villains posing as musicians, with the play being directed by Lee Lyford.

October sees ‘The Ladykillers’ being performed almost daily throughout the month, with a few audience members being able to take part in a backstage tour of the production on October 22.

The month will also see senior British Army officer Sir Richard Shirreff visit The Watermill to talk about a number of historic events, including a discussion about the

battle of Waterloo 200 years ago.

November will see the arrival of a production of William Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’.

Directed by Cressida Brown, of Offstage Theatre Company, the play will run for a week from November 2 to 9 before the arrival of the theatre’s traditional Christmas pantomime.

This year’s family fun panto will see Alice in Wonderland at The Watermill Theatre from November 19 to January 3, with a relaxed performance taking place on November 30.

Suitable for children aged four upwards, families will be able to see what adventures Alice embarks on after she falls down a rabbit hole.

Visit www.watermill.org.uk for more details.

• Winston Churchill’s granddaughter-in-law Minnie Churchill will be at The Watermill on September 8.

That means any pollutants will be made safe before it’s recycled in an environmentally friendly way.

What’s more, for certain types of vehicle you’ll get a DVLA approved Certificate of Destruction (CoD). A CoD proves the ATF has told DVLA your vehicle has been scrapped and is no longer your responsibility. www.direct.gov.uk.motoring

Clark double gifts Newbury the win NEWBURY FC kicked off their season with a thrilling 3-2 win over Rotherfield United FC at Faraday Road on Saturday.

A double from Leroy Clark and a goal from Carl Jenner gave the team a big boost in their quest to regain their Hellenic Premier League status after they were relegated last season.

United took the lead early on in the game with debutant Stuart Brown whipping in a cross that was planted into the net off the

head of Ed Fagan.

Rotherfield looked to cement their advantage afterwards with Ricky Sidhu blasting two efforts into the Newbury keeper’s hands and Tom Candish blasting over.

Newbury came close themselves as they searched to fi nd their equaliser and went close on a number of occasions before the half time whistle.

However, the home side fi nally managed to get back into the game when Jenner rose highest

The home side then took the lead after Clark blasted in his effort from outside the box that completely wrong-footed Wildish to send the home fans into raptures.

Clark continued to rap on the

Poor batting costs Thatcham

THATCHAM Town Cricket Club’s title dreams are still alive despite suffering a shocking defeat to basement side Wokingham on Saturday in the Thames Valley League Division 3A. After managing to remove the home side for a mere 141 runs thanks to some devastating bowling from John Williams (7-26) it looked like the high fl iers would win with ease.

But despite being put in a big position by Josh O’Flynn (39), the opener would prove to be

the highest scorer as his side limped all out to a poor score of 115 to lose by 26 runs.

Despite their below par batting display however, Thatcham were handed a massive slice of good fortune soon after when the results came in from elsewhere to reveal that table toppers Royal Ascot had been beaten

by Cove 2’s.

Thatcham went into the game on the back of an emphatic 139 run victory over Fleet seven days earlier, and but for a 67 run knock from Rakesh Patel,

the bowling of Williams ensured that Wokingham were put away with relative ease.

After that though, Thatcham’s batsman undid all of the bowler’s good work as eight of the order failed to make it to double figures, with Peter Spriggs, Scott Gibson and Chris Bird failing to get off the mark at all.

The defeat ensures that Thatcham now trail the leaders by 14 points ahead of the fi nal two matches against Finchampstead 3’s and promotion rivals Aldershot as the season nears its end.

Rotherfield door whilst the away side looked to break on the counter as Newbury took a stranglehold in the game.

United grabbed their second of the day to level the scores for the second time after Brown’s winding run led to him cutting inside and winning a penalty.

Sidhu stepped up to the spot and stroked the ball home with twenty minutes left on the clock as both sides lurched forward to fi nd the winning goal.

Clark managed to fi nd himself with ample time and space in the box as he was fed the ball in and he stroked the ball past the keeper following a nervy goalmouth scramble.

The result marks a good start to Newbury’s ventures in the Thames Valley Premier Division and they are set to entertain Oxfordshire-based side Woodcote Stoke Row on Wednesday night in their second fi xture of the new season.

BOSS THOMAS HITS GOAL IN TOWN WIN GOALS from Marcus Mealing and Gareth Thomas either side of half-time propelled Thatcham Town to third in the Hellenic Premier League in a 2-1 win at Oxford City Nomads.

The outing was player-manager Gareth Thomas’s fi rst game of the season after defenders Mark Hughes, Paul Taplin and Tom Moran were all sidelined from the Marsh Lane fi xture.

Thomas put his side into the lead on 15 minutes, getting up high to tip in Callum Willmoth’s cross after Marcus Mealing’s shot was parried.

Nomads looked to counter well but barely troubled Chris Rackley, fi nally getting an effort on goal through David Murphy’s wide lob on 26 minutes.

The game saw rash tackling as both sides looked to take hold of possession, with Nomads’ Amer Awadh’s tackle on Willmoth looking particularly nasty.

The Nomads looked to bounce back in the second half, with Liam Palfreeman’s thumping

Danny Lachacz was substituted by Jordan Seward on the hour mark and the substitute’s long pass was met by Mealing who controlled well before fi ring home Town’s second.

Town were gifted a chance for a third when Wilmoth was tripped in the area by Liam Talboys, but Mealing fi red the resulting penalty wide.

Nomads managed to claw a goal back with 10 minutes left through Billy Gillet, but Thatcham managed to hold on to keep the momentum going.

Thatcham have taken three wins and a draw from their opening four games of the season and were facing Binfield tonight as the Observer went to press.
