Bygone Days.

by Peter Fountain on Saturday 24th September

What a lovely day.

Many thanks to all of you who contributed with such lovely vehicles it is so much appreciated.
Thanks again to the Odiham RAF Cadets who stewarded the road closure and took so much abuse from some passing traffic. You did a great job again.

Thank you Paul and Ian for traffic management and to Roger Davies who positioned all the vehicles, great job Roger and much appreciated.

To Kai for providing such relaxing music, thank you.

I think we'll do this again.

Thanks also to our resident photographer Cathy Griffiths.

Odiham

by Peter Fountain on Monday 12th September

Today has proved just what a wonderful community we live in following this tragic situation, our vicar Gary Keith and his wife Louise are a true inspiration as are many others who just got on with the task of sorting things. We are very fortunate.
All our thoughts are with the dear family of Jack at this very sad time.

Following the sadness of the early hours of this morning on the A287 a request.

No flowers at the roadside please.

Prayers will be said at 1600 in All Saints Church tomorrow 12th of September where you can leave your tributes at the altar. Tributes may also be taken to the house.

Swirleeze.

by Peter Fountain on Tuesday 6th September

We have been asked to make it clear that Swirleeze, our very own sweetshop in Odiham High Street, is not for sale and despite it being spotted as so on the internet this is now out of date.
We are happy to put the record straight.

Battle of Britain in the Bury 2011.

by Peter Fountain on Monday 5th September

Please note that this event will not take place on the 11th of September. An event has to be right in every way and this just wasn't so to those of you looking forward to it we'll be back next year in force.

The next notable occasion is Bygone Days in the High Street on the 24th of September featuring numerous classic and vintage cars, motorcyles and one or two very appropriate buses, hogroast and fresh paella with live background music, 1100 until 1600 hours.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Number 10 Stagecoach service Basingstoke via Hook, Odiham and Hartley Wintney to Camberley.

by Peter Fountain on Sunday 4th September

It is proposed by the company to withdraw this service from the 16th October to Hartley Wintney and Camberley. The Service will only run from Basingstoke to Odiham via Hook and back.
Please contact the Clerk at Odiham Parish Council if you have any comments or if it is a service that you use on a regular basis.
This will almost certainly cause concern to residents in Odiham, Winchfield, Phoenix Green and Hartley Wintney.

This is as a result of Hampshire County Council subsidies coming to an end.
