The Newbury Twin Town Association's Garden Party was held at Gillian and Stuart Durrant's house in Kiln Road. Gillian, the previous Mayor, looked very relaxed in her garden when we arrived and it was good to note her term of office had not wearied her. Despite the horrendous weather forecast, tables and chairs, together with a gazebo, had been moved into the garden.
I was pleased to see some long-serving members of the NTTA whom I had met when I was last Mayor in 1990/91, and there was some reminiscences being swapped as Edwina Cooper and I moved around the members. The rain came down but fortunately all the food was inside the kitchen, but a number of the hardy ones stayed out under the gazebo. The kitchen became somewhat crowded but it did not subdue the general well being of everyone there.
It was a very pleasant afternoon and our thanks go to Gillian and Stuart and all members who had provided the food and drink.
