The May edition of ICN takes time to review the Easter celebrations around Ickenham, as well as the highly successful Spring Show of the Ickenham and Swakeleys Horticultural Society. The latter covers more than just flowers and fresh produce, you know: I was particularly impressed by Rosemary Murrell’s winning craft entry – a knitted depiction of the Queen, Prince Philip and several corgis!
May sees several important fundraising events in our midst: first of all the URC Bargain Day (Saturday 12th May) with its plant and book sale in the morning, and auction in the afternoon. Then the following week (13th – 19th May) it’s Christian Aid Week. This national event will bring the usual red envelopes through your letterboxes, to be collected by our volunteers when they return a few days later. Please support both events if you can.
And there is early warning of Ickenham favourite Holiday Club, with its Olympic inspired theme “Going for Gold”. We also meet Ickenham resident Julia Hague, who will be one of the torchbearers when the Olympic Flame travels through Hillingdon on its way to the opening ceremony.
Read about these, and other articles in the May edition, by clicking on ‘This Month’s Newsletter’ on the Menu Bar at the top of the page. And from there, you can reach all the regular features too.
Articles for the June issue of ICN should be with the team by 12 noon on 13th May.
