Many hundreds of local residents and visitors will have enjoyed a splendid time at the Art in the Park and Dragon Boat Races on Saturday. Such an event would not be possible without the support and sponsorship from various organisations. Organiser Jane Kirby would like to offer thanks to the following: Chippenham Town Council, Wiltshire Council, The Olympiad, Chippenham Artists, John Davis accountant, Three Crowns, Webbs Van Hire, Octoprint, Wickes Building Supplies, Humbugs Sweets, the Lions Club, members of the public who volunteered to help and stall holders.

All this effort was rewarded by a fantastic response from the public who came on the day, and the three Rotary Clubs in Chippenham are pleased that so many people felt it was worthwhile.

We all look forward to an even more successful event next year.

Mike Oakes, Rotary Club, Chippenham.
