The 150th anniversary of the Wiltshire Times is a landmark of which our paper is proud but we hope it will be much more than a pat on the back for ourselves.

We hope to use this year to organise events that can be enjoyed by everyone, while raising much-needed funds for local charities and voluntary groups.

To do this we are appealing for fundraising ideas from our readers as well as asking for their memories of the changing times that have been seen through the paper over the years.

The Wiltshire Times has gone from strength to strength over recent years and we hope it continues to be the best possible paper we aim to give you, our loyal readers, every week.
