Ashbury Buys BT Phone Boxes
Ashbury Parish Council has purchased the three defunct BT red phone boxes in the parish for the princely sum of £1 each. BT offered the boxes after it removed all the telephone equipment. School children are currently having a competition to decide what the phone boxes will be used for. In Kingston Winslow the local residents have already turned theirs into a local library, asking anyone who takes a book to replace it with another.
Ashbury Flower Festival and Display of Wedding Dresses a Big Success
Over 350 people visited the display over the weekend of 12/13th June and over £1,100 was raised for St Mary's Church. Visitors came from across the Vale, as well as Swindon, to view the range of wedding dresses spanning over 100 years. Many of the dresses were from families in the parish. The Male Voice Choir was also a great success, and the service to renew wedding vows was well attended. See a full report of the event.
