Happy Valentine’s Day Watch out for many special offers to help you celebrate St Valentine’s Day in Wendover this year, not least the launch of the Wendover Chamber of Trade and Commerce “I love Wendover” loyalty card scheme, see p5. Happy New Year - again Paul and Mel, of The White Swan, wish to thank the New Year’s Day Clean-Up Team (Mark, Sue, Gary, Toni, Chris (Roo), Liam, Denise and Broydon) who along with Peter and the Parish Clerk, swept clear the debris around the Clock Tower early on New Year’s Day morning as well as the suppliers and organisers of the fireworks for yet another wonderful display on New Year’s Eve. The many who ventured out consider it a wonderful spectacle. Long may it continue.
