(12 May 2011)
Deputy Mayor Asghar
Majeed launched the Cookham Festival on Wednesday at Hitachi offices on
Lower Cookham Road.in front of an invited audience of 200 people. Speaking
at the launch he said “ I am delighted to launch this year’s Cookham
Festival, which goes from strength to strength. This year there are many
new events: Shakespeare, a High Street Festival and a Fringe Festival as
well as all the usual music events, drama, comedy, poetry, exhibitions,
talks and the very popular Sculpture Garden and Art Trail. What is
remarkable is that all the activities feature local talent, and what a lot
of talent there is in the Cookham area. I congratulate Mike Copland and
the organising committee for the huge amount of time spent planning this
Festival and all the volunteers, many of whom are here tonight and who
will help make it happen over the next twelve days. I would also like to
thank Hitachi for the generous hospitality in hosting the event this
evening.”
