We'd like to thank Scott on behalf of everybody for the great effort he's made to involve the Co-op in our village community, and in particular his work in helping to support our village groups and organisations through the new Co-op Membership Local Community Fund.

Scott starts his new job as manager at the Longfield store on Monday morning.

Good luck Scott!

The Ballads of The Great War - 1917 - Charles Snelling

Episode 4 of 5 was broadcast on BBC Radio 2 on November the 11th and features stories told by men and women who took part in the conflict both at home and abroad.

One of the stories it told was of Charles Snelling, a brick worker who was from Newington, but is named on the Lower Halstow war memorial.

The section about Charles starts around 16 minutes into the programme.

The programme mixes new songs with first-hand accounts and narrative - similar to the Radio Ballads series, which was by the same people (inc John Tams who wrote the songs for the National Theatre's War Horse.

The programme is still available to listen to again on the BBC iPlayer - for another couple of weeks.
