In this edition we have the second part of our interview with Anita Rooney as we learn about the rather complicated journey she undertook before becoming our very popular rector.

In this edition we have the second part from our Horringer at the Fringe series, plus plenty of updates and dates for the diary.

We are back after the summer break, but the next 2 (slightly shorter) pods are a bit different.
This is mainly because we are dusting off some recordings we produced for the Edinburgh Fringe festival which we thought you might like and secondly, we have so many events coming up in the next few weeks that we thought we would get things under way sooner rather than later. So we hope to see you at many of them in the next few weeks.

This is the final edition before our extended summer break and it is focussed on as many summer activities as possible. The ideas I this; that the harassed parents out there have something up their sleeve between July and August when the kids are at their most ‘engaging’ let’s say. So, Jess is back with her hacks, we have an update from the library and some ideas for getting the kids into gardening and lots more.

Hello everyone, by now you might well have received your copy of our Horringer Social Survey, which is part of the consultation process for the Neighbourhood Plan. One thing to be aware of concerns the log-in details for the on-line surveys. The QR Codes are fine, if you use your phone, but… some people have had problems logging on when typing the full address, which is also on page 2. This is because the ‘underscore’ between Horringer (and) Survey is hidden. Luckily our Consultant Ian is on the ball and we can offer you an alternative way to log on the on-line survey. We have added 2 extra addresses, so if you have a problem then these addresses will work too… They are:
www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/HorringerSurvey/
www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Horringer-Survey/
