THE Wiltshire Times is 150 years old this year and we are asking readers to come forward with old stories and photographs to help with the celebrations.

Throughout 2004 we will be holding a number of events to mark the occasion. The newspaper has also started the 150 Fund in aid of local charities and voluntary groups, for which we will be raising money throughout the year.

Ideas for events celebrating this anniversary have already started coming in from our readers and many more would be welcomed.

If you have old photographs or memories of the Wiltshire Times contact reporter Matt Wilkinson on (01225) 352482 or email wtimes@newswilts.co.uk
