Maria Miller MP was delighted to attend the 40th Anniversary party of ‘Basinga’, the parish newsletter for Basing and Lychpit.
Maria said: “It was a pleasure to be invited along to be part of their celebrations, joining volunteers past and present.
Neighbourhood and parish newsletters have an important role in helping create a sense of community spirit. People stay in touch through titles like the Kempshott Kourier, Hatch Warren Rabbiter and the Chineham Chat. Few of these Basingstoke publications have been around for as long as the Basinga in Basing and Lychpit.
Congratulations to everyone who has been involved over the years.”
