Cover Photograph: Miles GreenWELCOME......to the June/July 2020 edition of Village Voice...Dear VV Readers,We are delighted to bring you a packed editionof VV, we hope you enjoy reading it!In years past, in the June & July edition wewould typically be promoting the many eventsand activities that take place in Penn & TylersGreen over the summer. In 2020, and at the timeof writing, the country has been in lockdown formany weeks, and only now can we start toemerge, with caution, and in a very controlledsocially distanced way.As Editor, there was the briefest of momentswhen I wondered whether our clubs, societiesand community organisations would haveanything to report. Having reached out, it turnsout that whilst we may not have been able to dothe things that we usually do, it doesn’t meanthat the community groups in P&TG arewithout something to say - far from it!In this edition, we are delighted to have twovery special contributions, in addition to lots ofarticles and photos from our familiar clubs,organisations, societies and communities. PeterBrown, journalist and blog writer (www.pennandtylersgreen.com) has written a Covidjournal, chronicling the evolution and impact ofthe lockdown in Penn & Tylers Green (pages25-27, and 37-39). Earl Howe has written on therewards and challenges of managing the PennHouse Estate (pages 29/30)With the government aiming to get thecountry out of lockdown, it may be that we willbe able to resume some of the valued andfamiliar activities. Let's hope the Village Showdue to take place on Saturday September 19thwill go ahead.
