To tap into the local history of Ham we can create a sense of pride for the villagers, which I know from speaking to Lisa Pegg (landlady of The Royal Oak) Ham does not have at the moment. Lisa would be a great person to speak to Ben to help with your article. I was shocked when Goldsmith said that Ham had a good sense of community. Most people in Ham have also never been to Ham House. It is not a place that has brought people together, but I believe that through this event we can achieve this. I'm not just talking about the day itself but the 4 months that we now have leading up to it. In an ideal community project we could have people from the community like the bikers Goldsmith talks about, helping us organise the project. Maybe youth who do not have jobs helping to organise the project.<br /><br />Anyway, enough said...<br /><br />Well done Ben xxxxzoemundayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778683771644753945noreply@blogger.com
