Happy New Year to you all, as this, the first issue of ICN in 2010 does the rounds of the village.
On page 1 of this issue, Ken Tombs encourages us to keep the people of Haiti in our thoughts, and contribute what we can to the relief appeal. Alan Noad meanwhile, provides an interesting article on Ickenham Hall, the scene of a ‘Murder Mystery’ event later this month!
Christmas activities are reviewed, and we are reminded of a host of dates and events of note in Ickenham in the coming year: there will be quizzes, jumble sales, forecourt sales and an auction. We will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the covenant between the two churches. And, as it is a Festival Year, in June there will nine amazing days of fun and excitement throughout the village. How will you be involved? If you have any ideas, or can help in any way, do contact the Festival committee.
Writing this on the last day of January, I know that Roger Federer has denied us a British victory in the Men’s singles at the Australian Open, but we in Ickenham do have success in Oz to cheer: our local tennis star Marc McCarroll claimed the men’s doubles title, and came runner-up in the singles competition at the Adelaide Wheelchair Tennis Open in January. The Gazette article in Photo News has more details.
