This August it is the Spelthorne River Day, and the Sunbury Regatta – or so we hope! It seems that everything is now dependent on the weather: Henley, Classic Boat Show, various local regattas etc. To make us feel just a little bit better, we publish a couple of local photographs from the floods of old.

Congratulations to those of you who were involved in the Diamond Jubilee (lunch with the Queen no less!), the Pageant and who are about to be involved in the Olympics. Do take a look at stories of river and torch bearing.

The clocks have gone forward, the buds are on the trees, the sun has been shining and I for one am excited about the months of opportunity ahead and all that brings with it! It is during the cold, wet winter months when I see people out pounding the streets in preparation for the London

Happy First Birthday to Sunbury Matters! I can’t believe that it is already a year since I produced the first issue. I feel it is fair to say that it is well and truly a part of the Lower Sunbury community and I continue to get lots of positive comments from both readers and advertisers.
