Monmouths wonderful raft Race will take place this Sunday. Do go and watch at High Noon from the riverbank in Monmouth ( ending at Whitebrook.) Mad people paddle home made boats down to the end, often in fancy dress and with the river low it will not be without shipwreck. Huge fun and all for charity. Give generously and enjoy!

An ancient oak tree fell in Monmouth this week. Not so exciting- until you think that it was a young sapling when Geoffrey of Monmouth was born in 1090 and already an old tree when Monmouths historic Bridge was built in the 13th Century and when Henry V was born in 1387.
It saw the Civil War and the Chartists, Henry Rolls ( Royce) and Nelsons visit to the town.
Hopefully something appropriate will happen to the wood.
