I didn't get to the window in time to see what it was.

Did it wake anyone else up?]]> Wed, 1 Sep 2010 00:49:38 BrianB http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1283285976/ http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1283285976/#num1
Also I found another article about him, again in the same area and it reads "The accomplishments of the pedestrian Mountjoy in 1851, when he walked from the Angel at Andover to the Bacon Armns in Speenhamland and back again twice a day for a week, caused great excitement at the finish, as he entered the Angel gateway at the last lap on Saturday as the church clock was striking midnight.....Can anyone please tell me if the Bacon Arms is still there and if so does it have any old memories on the walls, I am desperate to find a picture of my Pedestrian so am probably clutching at straws....I would really apprecaite if anyone could help me that lives in the area ...thanks Gina ]]> Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:19:36 Gina http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1283280250/ http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1283280250/#num1
I am a member of the Earl Rivers’ regiment (English Civil War Re-enactment) I’ve been given the task to organise an annual Regimental party in Newbury, however I’ve come on a blank trying to find a appropriate property to book, ideally,

We need a village hall or building that has some character i.e beams looks quite old
Can be booked for 2 days on a small budget
Have mod cons available
Within walking distance of a pub
Able to contain up to 100 people.
Has land for up to 5 caravans

As it will be in the winter, we will also need to sleep in the hall.
Does this fit any halls, buildings within 2 miles of newbury??

Suggestions welcome..]]> Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:44:10 Terry Richardson http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1283160442/ http://www.newbury.net/forum/forum/m-1283160442/#num1
I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but presumably this follows some sort of disturbance amongst the tenants. It certainly doesn't look like accidental damage.

Anybody know what happened?]]> Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:27:22 Archie
