Pearce will be a draw

Manager is relevant

I was disappointed to read Tony Gray's letter in last week's Gazette & Herald. After almost ten years in the planning and with many barriers to overcome, we are proud to be able to celebrate the commencement of work on our new school, and are excited that one of our most well-known local residents has agreed to cut the first turf.

Kats & Kits success

On behalf of Devizes Kats & Kits in Care, I would like to thank everyone who has already joined our new 100 Club. Your kind support is valued immensely, and will help fund the essential lifelong needs of ex-feral and special needs cats that society deems unhomeable.

Turf not for young

How ironic that, having disposed of half its pitches, St John's School should invite a distinguished footballer to inaugurate the new development. I wonder if the manager of the England youth team has been informed that the turf he is cutting will no longer be available for training young footballers.

Thanks for response

May I thank all those who responded to the item in your paper on April 10 and have donated comfort items for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mr Justice Holman wants to see the proof that the people of Marlborough are supporting Val Compton's heroic struggle to save our hospital. He has capped her liability at £20,000.
