ON Thursday last week I was elected as a Councillor to represent Chase Ward on the Malvern Town Council.

Comment on Malvern Theatres

7:10am Friday 27th August 2010

I AM glad that Judi Massa so enjoyed Hi-de-Hi! at Malvern Theatres and share her concern that our theatre was "nearly empty" which cannot be good news for any of us. Has she, I wonder, attended like presentations at our local Courtyard, Roses, Swan and many other popular venues offering similar wholesome fare, and are these likewise undersubscribed? There does seem to be quite a lot of it about!

Thought for the Week

7:10am Friday 20th August 2010

WE live in a wonderful universe. The world around may cause us to marvel at the beauty of the created order. For people of faith, it is a God-given gift, which we need to care for and pass on to future generations without spoiling it further. Indeed we should try to undo some of the serious damage already caused by our lifestyle and live more simply.

“TIME flies like an arrow – fruit flies like a banana,” said Groucho Marx. Time certainly flies!

Ledbury Town FC comment

11:16am Wednesday 11th August 2010

IN response to Ben Symons front page statement on last week's Ledbury Reporter saying we at LTFC were not ambitious should come and take a look at what the volunteers have done in three weeks.

Ledbury's new library

10:01am Tuesday 10th August 2010

IT is apparent to me that funding for the new library development is rather like Billy Bunter's postal order, always promised but showing no signs of arrival. However, I would appreciate some public debate as to whether the new building would be obsolescent before it was built. There is a strong consensus of opinion that the traditional book will be superseded by the new ebook technology whereby an electronic device can be downloaded via the internet with many volumes. A friend of mine went on holiday recently with 12 full length volumes but only taking the space of one book. Currently, in USA, 180 ebooks are sold for every 100 hardbacks.

Thought for the Week

7:10am Friday 6th August 2010

SIXTY-five years ago this weekend, atomic bombs were dropped on the two Japanese cities of Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9). In a blinding flash and volcanic-like explosion, an awesome force of intense heat and radiation was unleashed, which swiftly and indiscriminately wreaked utter devastation.

Meeting with a future champion

READING of Nigel Mansell's visit to Upton brought back memories.
