SPEEDING traffic: What a sad sight by the pond on Thursday evening - two recently-killed moorhens, victims of the speeding Cliddesden traffic.

BRING-AND-BUY sale: On a happier note, the bring-and-buy sale, held at St Leonard's recently, raised a magnificent £117 for the charity Tools for Self Reliance, and the refreshments raised £17 for church funds.

Thank you to all those involved.

CLIDDESDEN, Farleigh Wallop and Ellisfield Horticultural Society: The next garden visit by the society is on Wednesday, at 7pm, and is to Little Court in Crawley, Winchester.
