Ann Nelson and her friend Joyce appealed through social media, posters, and word of mouth, to the people of Farnborough, asking them to contribute their experiences of the pandemic years 2020/2021 to a memory book.

Over 100 children wrote down their thoughts and experiences. They were moved to laughter and tears by the children's amazing contributions.

Other contributors of all ages have offered poems, photographs and written a range of articles for inclusion in the book which they have called Farnborough Folk - The Lost Years?

Copies of Farnborough Folk-The Lost Years? are now available at a cost of £10 each. All profits will go to local mental health charities.

Buying a copy will give you something to hand down to your children and grandchildren.

To order a copy please contact Ann Nelson at farnboroughmemories@hotmail.com or call 07719 570261.

Exciting times lay ahead for Fleet Market and the team that are working on breathing new life into Fleets weekly market.

They have recently secured funding and with that brings lots of possibilities, blue sky thinking and a never-ending amount of energy and passion.

Not just a market, but a place for the local community to meet, ponder and pause a while, whilst they enjoy the entertainment and that is all part of the plan.

We caught up with Tracey today and she bought us up to speed with all their plans for Fleet.

It's a busy time for Fleet Bid over the next few weeks as they work towards securing another year of working with the local businesses in town.  The benefits that this collaboration brings to the town are obvious for all to see.  

As ever, a chat with Tracey is fun, informative and a pleasure to listen to.
