NEW year, new interest: If you are looking for a new interest, why not visit the Kempshott Village Hall website, kempshottvillagehall.co.uk, where you can see all the clubs and groups that use the hall?

These include Basingstoke Horticultural Society, Kempshott Women’s Institute, Weight Watchers, pilates, and puppy and dog training to name but a few.

PLEASE note: There will be no Kancare Coffee Club at St Mark’s this week. Regular attendees are being treated to a lunch at the Toby Carvery.

CHRISTMAS tree recycling: Local collections points available until January 25 at Homebase and Hatch Warren Community Centre. Trees are turned into ProGrow soil conditioner.
