to Age Concern Lancashire. Members of the after receiving a grant from the charity.. The committee of the
Memorial Hall decided that a village newspaper would be the ideal way to maintain and foster a sense of community, both for long-time residents of the village and those who have recently arrived. They were given a grant of £300 from the Community Champion Fund distributed by the Council lor' Voluntary Service to carry out the project and cover costs for the first two years, and are hoping to fund the newspaper thereafter through sponsor ship and advertising. In the first edition, readers
will find articles about various village organisations, includ ing a feature on Hurst Green Football Club, and news of forthcoming events. Mrs Agnes Bland and Mrs
Nancy Bailey, both of Hurst Green, are responsible for putting together the newspa per, and hope to include snip pets about new babies, new comers to the village and other local happenings in ensuing editions. "Round the Green” will be
distributed by members of St John's Church, over the next few days. The parishioners kindly volunteered for the task as they will also be hand ing out fliers about their Christmas fair.

Among the pictures were stately homes and gardens, Southport Flower Show, vin tage cars, tractors, farm equip ment and steam rollers. Mrs Angela Harrison expressed thanks for an interesting and memorable talk. Reminders were given for a
