It has been said before—and we make no apology for saying it again—that much more use could be made of the Castle grounds.


Many towns would be pleased to have such a fine asset as that provided by the Castle and grounds, and yet it seems Clitheronians take it too much for granted. Once a year, the Castle grounds go gav for the Castle Fete, and then, apart from the usual games of bowls and tennis, there is little municipal activity until the


next fete.


The opening of a public sub­ scription fund affords a first class opportunity for the town to make better use of the Castle.
