Long time Bagshot resident Ed Papworth dies aged 89
Monday, 08 March 2010 22:13
"After 62 years living in Bagshot, over 40 of them running the Papworths electrical shop, Ed emigrated to Australia when he was 62. He spent the last 28 years retired in Perth where his health went from strength to strength and he built a wide circle of friends and lived in close proximity to his two children. His family are happy that he had a good life in Bagshot and later in Australia, due to his many friends. They are also pleased that his death came swiftly and without too much pain. They give thanks for having such a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.
The funeral to celebrate Ed’s life will be held at Pinnaroo Crematorium Chapel on Friday 12th March 2010 commencing at 4pm. No flowers by request.

Children's Centre official opening
Saturday, 31 October 2009 21:24
Bagshot Infant School and the Sure Start Children's Centre had a very special day on Thursday when they had a visit from HRH The Countess of Wessex who had been invited to open 2 new classrooms and the Sure Start Children's Centre. She was entertained by the children singing and had a guided tour of this wonderful facility. The children were so excited and looked so spic and span in their uniforms.
The facilities provided by this school are very good, not least of which are the staff who have such pride and passion for the school in which they work. The children are their primary concern and it shows. The painted playgrounds, the climbing frames the plants and that's before you go inside the school!
After the Countess of Wessex left, there was an afternoon of fun for all the parents and children past and present. They were invited for afternoon tea and go karting, face painting, crafts, make your own smoothy etc. Lots of fun was had by all and every one went home tired and happy.
Congratulations to all the staff and their hard work.
Bagshot village plan meeting
Wednesday, 21 October 2009 00:00
Well the launch meeting of the Bagshot Village Plan was a huge success with more than 140 people attending. Geoff Marston, chair of the village plan steering group, started the 3 short speeches by laying out the background and process of the plan. Glyn Carpenter shared her passion for the village and her excitement about the future. Finally Gershon Berkowitz of Surrey Community Action told us how impressed he has been with the progress already made and the buzz that exists in Bagshot. Gershon works with towns and villages across Surrey helping them to build community and he told us all that he sensed something special in Bagshot.
Gershon's was a theme echoed by some of those attending in an open question time when people told of how friendly they've found the village.
Following the questions, there was a time for people to discuss what they'd heard and to contribute their thoughts and aspirations for Bagshot in a number of areas such as the environment, business, youth and children.
Members of Hotspot, the Wednesday night youth cafe in Bagshot, came to the event and interviewed attendees for their new podcast. Hotspot is one of the success stories that came out of the TUNE-IN community consultations a couple of years ago.
