Latest Issue - January 2012
EDITORIAL
I am sorry that, for the second consecutive edition, I have to start with an obituary; that of Greta Pennington. I knew her as a friend and, on one occasion, joined her and her family in Hong Kong at Christmas 2007 for a BBQ with friends. She was also the PC’s magazine liaison officer; she was always a pleasure to work with. I shall miss her greatly.
There have been many changes in village committees since both Who’s Who and Organisations were last published. I shall be contacting the relevant organisations to rewrite these resources, so please be ready with contact details and committee members.
After Keith Mitchell wrote the Neighbourhood Watch column this month, an email was circulated by the police giving details of yet another telephone scam. It was too late to publish in full, but the gist of it is that the scammers are trying to get the three digit security code from the back of your credit card. They already have your name and address and the long credit card number (don’t ask how). They dress all this up in an official sounding call from your ‘bank’ - it isn’t , of course, and ask if you have purchased an item about which their ‘security’ is suspicious. If you receive such a call, put the phone down. If you are worried, phone your bank so you are sure you are actually speaking to who you think you are.
There is an extensive village diary for 2012 on the next page. Please make a note of dates which are relevant to you. Please bear in mind that any copy for the magazine is welcome well before the final copy date - material all of a rush just makes my life difficult. Thanks.
