Saturday 14th December saw the launch, in the Village Hall, of the much awaited Reprint and Update of the Chronicles of Sulgrave. A fine, sunny morning brought out a goodly number of villagers to see Richard Fonge, as Chairman, receive the first copy on behalf of the Sulgrave Parish Council, from Martin Sirot-Smith, the Compiling Editor. (See above picture, Richard on the left and Martin on the right).
With coffee and light refreshments on hand the morning saw a stream of locals collecting their pre-ordered copies, purchasing or, indeed, ordering further copies. It created a very convivial atmosphere with with everyone relaxing and chatting.
The first edition is a virtual sell out. A second is planned, if the demand is forthcoming. So if you don’t want to miss out on what, all agreed, is a very fine production which will become a lasting legacy of Sulgrave’s history, get your order in now. A full price of £20.00 is still a bargain!
Forms will appear in the next newsletter or you can order direct from Richard Fonge via email at r.fonge@gmail .com
