WE would like to thank all those who participated in the unofficial Beating of the Bounds on Sunday around Marlborough.

Special thanks go to PC Sid Vincent for helping at the road crossings, Sarah and Seb Frysol for refreshments, the 2nd Marlborough Scout Group and to all the land owners who generously allowed us access to their property.

Well done to all who took part in keeping this traditional alive in the year 2000.

Let's see if we can get 100 walkers next year.
