Half Marathon
Hullavington fielded four entries for the Stroud Half Marathon last month. Jean Slater, raising money for Cancer Research, was the fastest of the group, followed by Richard Warren, whose chosen charity was Multiple Sclerosis. Alison Ayliffe and Maggie Dyson, who targeted to raise four hundred pounds for the Williams Syndrome Foundation, completed the course at a more leisurely pace.

John Aubrey Group WI
Kington Langley WI has joined with Hullavington, Kington St Michael and Hardenhuish WI s as the John Aubrey Group of the Women’s Institute, which met in Hullavington Village Hall last Wednesday evening. They were entertained with a witty and knowledgeable talk by Mr Atkinson about Fashion and the House of Dior. The guest explained his progress from a cotton factory in Lancashire, where his grandfather invented stiffened cotton for shirt collars, through his training as a tailor and his subsequent responsibility as the only Englishman working for Dior and his involvement at the inception of Pret a Porter clothes. The evening concluded with a buffet supper.

Hash House Harriers
A running group from Swindon, the Hash House Harriers, visited Hullavington on Sunday, to make a circular run from the Star Inn, returning with very muddy trainers. On 7 December they will be holding a Swindon Santa Dash in aid of the Prospect Hospice, and local residents are invited to join in by registering on www.nwh3.co.uk.
