IT WAS a good weekend for us and we’re happy to have got a win over Peterborough Phantoms on Saturday.

After a good win at the end of 2009, it was a disappointment to lose the first three games of this year.

STEVE NELL: Reasons for optimism at halfway point

1:20pm Wednesday 23rd December 2009

UNFORTUNATELY we had two defeats on the weekend but it was Saturday’s loss to Sheffield Scimitars that was a real disaster.

It would have been nice to get the points at home to Guildford on Saturday and to be honest we should have won the game.

Your Say Your Gazette

I refer to the article on Chippenham RFC seeking permission from the Rugby Football Union to allow their second team to be promoted to Southern Counties (level seven of the RFU league structure) should they finish top of Dorset & Wilts 1 North (level eight), (Gazette & Herald, February 28). The most interesting aspect of the article was actually what was not said by the club’s representative or was not mentioned.  − Colin Brockhurst, Corsham

A newsletter hit my doormat on March 2 from ‘Nick Watts and the Lib Dem team’ headlined: Freeze Wilts council tax say Lib Dems. This document goes on to tell us that: “hard-working families cannot afford unnecessary council tax hikes in these difficult times” and so “Nick Watts and the Liberal Democrats have promised not to support any attempt by Wiltshire Conservatives to hit families by increasing council tax this year”.  − Peter Kemp, Chippenham
