After complaining that very few contributions had been made
to our Birthday Appeal in the last issue, we are happy to
report that the situation improved before Christmas when about
£35 in total was received. Thank you all who donated; the money
will be put to good use.
As you can see this issue is The BIG one offering more for your
money, or at least your readership. Firstly we have an exclusive!
Through the Link/Focus you, our readers, have the chance to name a pub. Wessex
Taverns are using us as a way of getting suggestions - so get your thinking caps on
and send your ideas to them. See below for details. Secondly, we have the most
detailed information on the election - A Welcome to the Borough from the Mayor of
Thamesdown, a profile on the candidates standing for election on March 19th and a
section on what they stand for. Its all here you know. Do you think Rupert Murdoch
will want to buy us out after The Times?

The 22nd of May will see the opening of Swindon's latest pub in Toothill. Designed

skittle alley, pool table, darts area and a children's room. Hot and cold lunches will
served and in the evening a cold buffet will be available. A rich, warm atmosphere
has been created by building the pub with secondhand bricks specially imported
from Cheshire. The interior will have a distinctive South American flavour with lots

of natural wood and a very unusual bar front made from Mexican tea trays! All it
hasn't got is a name SUGGEST ONE &
