THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT, BUT........

Having shelled out for an annual subscription to 'Hampshire, the County Magazine' I received my first copy of it today.

This was a particularly nostalgic moment for me, as during my years in Zimbabwe I did at times manage to buy a  copy of the magazine from a second hand book stall in Hillside, Bulawayo, to whom the copies were donated by a local person in aid of the NSPCA who ran the bookstall.   I never did find out who that person was, and I would so much have liked to thank them for my link with 'England, home and beauty'.

Now I have my very own, paid up front, brand new copy of a beautifully produced glossy magazine which does our county proud, but I did not buy it for its good looks.   I have bought it for the ideas it gives  for future presentations and perhaps contacting people to come and talk to us. There is a wealth of good material within the pages of that magazine, so watch this space.

On the subject of future talks I am happy to tell you that David Judson, BA, historian of Southampton Football Club will be talking to us at out June meeting.  This promises to be a very popular occasion and one I think we might make an 'event' of.
