MAD TRAVELLINGS! We’re starting a section on residents’ travels – Madeleine (Shaftesbury Place) went to Borneo this January and sent back a travelogue via email. We hope to publish most of her writing about the trip on the website … Here’s the first extract about snorkelling off Sipadan island.

LOST PROPERTY left at the AGM – (1) a green apalca, silk green scarf and (2) notebook and biro. Email us at email@ditchlingrise.org to get them back.
