Over at the Odney Club the old bridge is
being demolished. It would cost over three quarters of a million to
renovate it and make it good enough to run the tractors over to the
field. What's the point when 50 metres away is the new bridge over to
Sashes Island. So these stumps are all that remains of the old bridge,
and they'll be removed when the high level Thames returns to more
manageable size.

Meanwhile at the Grove plans are in place
for the Hey Big Spencer Art exhibtion during the Cookham Festival in
April. The huge Rolf on Art type art structure will be visible from the
Cookham bridge. Here's a view of the bridge we don't normally
see....

Nice to see work under way in our High
Street on the refurbishment of the Stanley Spencer Gallery.
Thanks to some generous funding from the
National Lottery a million pound refit of the gallery is underway and if
you want to see the paintings right now they on temporary exhibition at
the Madejski Rooms of Reading Museum.
The Stanley Spencer gallery will reopen
with a flourish later this Year.
