A SPATE OF THEFTS from cars is concerning the beat officer PC Walter de Haan. He told the MFP that motorists still leave laptops and personal luggage in full view when they park their cars around the Sutton Road, School Lane and High Street triangle.

He said the police were always reminding motorists not to leave any valuables in their parked cars but they continued to do so. Thefts from cars meant endless form filling for the police. It seems that an arrest has been made over car theft.

A CONCERT of comical and unusual music took place at Holy Trinity Church last Saturday and raised over £753 for the charity PRO Autism. There was jazz, musical numbers and amusing duets. Talented children and professional musicians took part, these included Timothy Mallett and his son Billy.

PLANS for the summer radio station next June got off to a bang when 150 people in Pinder Hall last Wednesday took a questionnaire to see how they could help. It will cost about £20,000 to set up the event for four weeks, 24 hours a day, next June. A licence and equipment must be found and about 600 hours of taped entertainment made available.

There was interest in the event from all ages and Liz Kwantes hopes the load can be spread over more people.

HARVEST SUPPER at Cookham Dean will include entertainment and it takes place in the Village Hall on Saturday, October 1. Harvest thanksgiving at Holy Trinity Church is on Sunday when goods will be sent to Slough Refugee Support for emergencies.
