I JUST want to say how pleased I am to live in the area. I went to the Judith Sharp/Ray Dance show of Rogers and Hammerstein musicals on Friday evening at the Arts Centre.
What a lovely feel good show, to be transported to a lovely place with local singers and musicians as good as you will see.
They all turned this into a night of pure pleasure for me.
I thought of all the other societies in town who spend hours and hours of their spare time rehearsing and producing shows for our delight, from all the small dance schools/choirs/am. drams. up to the Kentwood and SALOS productions.
We are so very lucky to live in or near a town with such talent.
It also set me thinking about the Advertiser letters page with all manor of political views freely expressed without fear. 
Then I thought of all the top class amateur sport in and around the town.
As I say, be thankful we live in such a town/area and don’t pay any attention to Swindon knockers they really don’t know what they are talking about.
