Campaign for footbridge over river steps up pace );
PLANS to introduce a river crossing between Wargrave and Shiplake are gathering pace.
The committee of the Wargrave and Shiplake Bridge Campaign have had “very encouraging” talks with Mitchells & Butlers, which owns the St George & Dragon on High Street, where one end of the footbridge might be.
Various other potential sites, which have not been named, have also been considered but the pub land is considered to be the most suitable.
A feasibility study found that every single crossing point would either start or finish, or both, on private land, either residential, farming or commercial.

Sophomores. The dust jacket blurb:
It’s fall 1987 and life as normal is ending for the Malone family. With their sterile Dallas community a far cry from the Irish-American Bronx of their youth, Pat and Anne Malone have reached a breaking point. Pat, faced with a debilitating MS diagnosis, has fallen into his drinking. Anne, his devoutly Catholic wife, is selected as a juror for a highly publicized attempted murder trial, one that raises questions about God, and about men in power she has buried her entire life. Together, they try to raise their only son, Daniel, a bright but unmotivated student who is shocked into actual learning by an enigmatic English teacher. For once, Dan is unable to fly under the radar, and is finally asked to consider what he might want to make of his life.
