thewindowforwallingfordthewindowforwallingford Peter Pan JOIN Peter Pan & Wendy, along with the lost boys as they embark on another adventure fighting Pirates in Neverland. Especially written and adapted for the Sinodun Players tickets go on sale on Friday 17th April from the Corn Exchange box office. Thurs 2nd July- Sat 4th July (including Sat matinee). Tues 7th - July - Sat 11th July (including Sat matinee). Adults £10, Children £6. Audience members are invited to dress as their favourite character as we are hoping to fill the auditorium with Lost boys, Pirates and Tinker Bells. Be sure to book tickets early to avoid disappointment! In 1929 JM Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan, gifted the copyright in the play to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children. The Sinodun Players are proud to be supporting the hospital through the royalties paid for performing this work. The Fat Ox Polly Gibson THE Fat Ox on the corner of Wood Street and Hart Street was a Wells Brewery pub. As a lodging house it attracted a shifting population of often dubious characters who feature from time to time in the local newspapers. Perhaps the roughest times were under landlords Joseph Mott (c1866- 1874) and Caleb Bosley (1890-1910+), who had previously been landlord of the French Horn in Church Lane. Even in the 1920’s, when the Beasley family were landlords, a man could still pay a small sum to ‘hang on the line’ – propping an arm over an extended rope to support a drunken sleep in an upright position in a back room of the pub. The Fat Ox closed in 1940 and the old beer house became a home, as it is today. This is one illustration of the wealth of social history that is contained within Wallingford Museum’s latest exhibition Raising the Roof – Wallingford’s Homes and their Families.

thewindowforwallingfordthewindowforwallingford Royal British Legion I am now back at home after spending a further three weeks in the John Radcliffe Hotel. I think if I spend any more time in there, they will start charging me council tax. After three whiz kids sorted the computer out at our last meeting, we were able to enjoy the wonderful film of the Ancient Town of Wallingford and what an informative evening it turned out to be. I understand that there is another film relating to Wallingford at War and I will do my best to find a copy for viewing in the future. The Branch Members drank a toast to Bob Russell to celebrate his 90th birthday and he had baked some rock cakes for the members in order to soak up the wine. During my lazy days recuperating from my operation, I have spent a few hours watching The World at War on day time television. What an eye opener! The generation of young men who went off to war well knowing that their chance of survival was only 60% is incredible. It puts into perspective how much our generation owes to these men and their families and the relevance of the work we as members of the Royal British Legion are constantly undertaking to ensure they and their families continue to receive the care due to them. On a lighter note, we have a couple of speakers lined up for our meetings. The first is Maureen Bone who will give a talk regarding evacuees who came to Wallingford and either stayed or returned at the end of the war. Another presentation yet to be confirmed is a film and talk regarding the work of the War Graves Commission. Our presentation of awards to the Cadet of the Year will take place at our May meeting when we hope to have many cadets and their parents join us to share in our appreciation of the fine work these young people do for the town of Wallingford.
