The picture alongside this letter will bring back some memories for many!
In the picture, providing support to John Martin, you will find Brian Donovan (Glebelands Action Group); David Davies (now MP for Monmouth); Matthew Evans (now Chair of Cabinet, and Leader of Council); the late Dave Thorndell (Glebelands Action Group); and Ed Townsend (Cabinet Member Regeneration and Deputy Leader of Council). Do you recognise anyone else? |

Mr Winmill writes about his role as Glebelands park manager during the 1960s and wonders if there
