Are you looking for a new activity to do or hobby? A new place to eat and drink at? Sat at home thinking about the long winter ahead?
Well, we have a fantastic club you can come and experience. We have our next taster day on Sunday 4th January from 2.30pm-6.30pm

Just a reminder @livbailey said that @RachelReevesMP had secured the funding for Royal Berkshire hospital. So that spades would be in the ground this election cycle. @wesstreeting has now confirmed that there won't be work on the site until 2035 at the earliest.

An open letter I have today sent to Olivia Bailey, MP for Reading West & Mid Berkshire, on the Labour Government's broken promises on tax, a new Royal Berkshire Hospital, and local housing targets.
Cllr Richard Somner retweeted
Holy AONB - look at the West Berkshire housing targets!
@somnerr @dominicboeck
Basingstoke was Deputy Prime Minister @AngelaRayner ‘s first destination after announcing new housing targets. Many councils will have to build twice as many as shown in these examples @

Great to see @kerbocharge featured on #dragonsden last week!👏
We've been running Kerbo Charge trials in Calcot, Newbury and Kintbury so that residents without driveways can safely charge electric vehicles using through-pavement channels.
Read more here: westberks.gov.uk/article/424…
We did it!!! 🐉 🙌 👏
We’re over the moon to share that Michael and Ben secured investment from @DeborahMeaden!
Her sustainability mindset will be absolutely invaluable for Kerbo Charge’s growth, and we can’t wait to get even more UK residents access to safe and secure home charging.

Lee stays on the Exec with a tiny portfolio, while other Exec members have much more to do.
Presumably he'll pocket the full Executive allowance - Liberal Cllrs are required to give a % to the party.
So while he takes it easy, all West Berks residents are funding his campaign!
Councillor Lee Dillon has an announced he is taking a sabbatical from his role as Leader of West Berkshire Council. He will continue to sit on the Executive.
Deputy Leader Jeff Brooks will become Acting Leader from next Thursday.
