The welcoming sight of daffodils on the bank as you drive into Hatch Warren means that Spring has started. Before we know it the gardens will be a riot of colour - thank you to all those gardeners who make the estate look so good. Our cheerful cover picture this month was taken by Sonia Eckhartt - we are always on the look out for suitable photos for our cover - just email them to us with your name and details of the photo. Well done to the Hatch Warren U10's on a very successful season, to the Salsa dancers in Preston Candover for making national television and to everyone who took on the Challenge to raise money for Red Nose Day - I was particularly impressed with two ladies at Sainsbury's who spent the day 'looking silly' - they definitely brought a smile to a lot of faces! There are lots of exciting things happening this month - Cliddesden Conservation Group and Old down & Beggarwood Wildlife Group AGMs, sign up to play cricket, Wine Quiz at the Community Centre, Aerobic classes, fittness for the over 55's, walking on a Wednesday evening and walking around Farleigh Wallop to raise money for St Michaels Hospice, an Easter Egg Hunt at Highclere Castle, an Art Exhibition and a quiz night in aid of Alzheimer's Soceity. After all that activity, you can enjoy an evening of Chamber Music at Central Studio! On Friday 3 April there is another opportunity for us to give generously - this time the need is for you to give blood. The venue is the Community Centre - see the Hatch Warren Community Centre article on page 4 for details on how you can pre-book to donate - blood is vital in saving so many lives so please help if you are able. If you are doing any spring cleaning you may well find some items you no longer need - why not try and sell them through the Rabbiter Free Ads? You can either email your ad to newsdesk@therabbiter.biz or complete the form on page 23 and send it to us. The Rabbiter could not continue without its team of volunteer deliverers. We currently have a number of vacancies for volunteers to deliver in Beggarwood area, in particular, Bronze Close and Camford Close, Causten Road and Whitgift Close, Arcadia Close, Oceana Crescent and finally Ryecroft Meadow. If you would like to help, please contact our distribution manager at distribution@therabbiter.biz or phone 01256 812564.
