This year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of Kennet Cassette, the talking newspaper for Newbury and West Berkshire.
This small but important charity was established by Peter Dann a Newbury Round Table member and now 41 Club member. Way back in 1976 Peter had the vision to establish the organisation which provides a weekly audible version of the Newbury Weekly News.
On Friday 29th May Peter and his committee invited volunteers (including some current 41 Club members who act as readers) to a celebration event. Peter was joined by the Mayor of Newbury Cllr Jo Day left and The Mayor of Thatcham Cllr Mark lillycrap and many others. Keep up the good work Peter and see you at the next 41 Club evening in June.
