Get snappy to help Thatcham mayor create charity calendar
He said that with 1,000 calendars being printed, he hoped to raise about £3,000, which would help make up for the loss of funds from this year’s cancelled Thatcham Family Fun Day.
The theme is Thatcham scenes and events, and money raised will go to his charities of the year – The Meningitis Trust and Cole’s Diner ‘Happy Days Autistic Club’.
Mr Boyd said that he hoped to have the cost of the calendars covered by local business.
He said: “We want to raise as much money as we can for the charities.
"People can submit views of Thatcham (like the one pictured) or events that have happened in Thatcham.”
Anyone wanting to submit an entry for possible inclusion in the calendar can email
Judging of the submitted images will take place on Friday, September.
It is hoped to launch the sale of this calendar at the Thatcham Festival of the Arts on Saturday, October 13th, and it will be on sale throughout the coming months via the town council web site and from The Family Bookshop in the Broadway.
