The Weather
Cancer Research Walk 22nd May – about 12 miles. For the 3rd year the Mid-Warwickshire Cancer Research Walk will start and finish from the Village Hall. Be at the Hall in good time to get your boots on etc. for a 10 a.m. start. Get some excercise and do some good. Help support the fight against cancer. You can take part in just the morning or afternoon walks if the full course is too much.
Local Crime Mapping The Police now publish crime maps showing the crime figures for most areas. Here is a link to the Lapworth crime figures. You can see that they are about average for Warwickshire, but that they have risen in the last year. Because the numbers are fairly small (in a statistical sense), they should be treated with caution.
Even so, being burgled is a miserable experience and it is hoped that the numbers will go down again.
