Ashford
on the Map was a great success again this year due to the hard work of Ashford Pride Team. I enjoyed the Christmas cakes, drinks and won
some prizes. Everyone wins something there, if you were not there than you have
missed a wonderful event. The town was
heaving with so many wonderful people that I personally know and many high
street shops were also open; church road and Ashford car park was full with
stalls from edge to edge; there was a Christmas Fair for children and grown up
if they can fit in. There was something for everyone as there were so many
mixtures of stalls from various charities and private businesses, wonderful; there
was a true Christmas spirit present in Ashford.
I
was very pleased to be part of Ashford on the Map once again this year and
enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people whom I have known for many years like
Barry Muggeridge. Barry and I are involved in many town groups and help organise
various activities to make Ashford a better place to live and work.
