Dolphin open day goes swimmingly
PANGBOURNE-based charity
Dolphin Adventure made a
splash at its open day on April
22 as it welcomed twice the
expected amount of visitors.
Visitors were encouraged to
have a go at a range of activities
such as using the climbing wall,
kayaking, canoeing, paddle
boarding and marathon boating.
Event organiser Ed Edwards
said: “Our taster sessions gave
people the chance to take to the
water in a variety of different
boats and to reach for new
heights on our climbing wall.
“It was a lovely atmosphere
and a great opportunity for
people to discover new adventur-
ous activities that are not only
good fun, but also improve your
fitness, enable you to learn new
skills, make new friends, enjoy
the River Thames and climb or
walk in scenic surroundings.”
More than 120 children, adults
and families attended, and the
event was staffed by 55 volun-
teers and a team of qualified
coaches.

courses in kayaking, canoeing

Reprieve for battling alcohol
A MAN with a lengthy crimi-
nal history was given another
chance in court because he
was striving to stay off drink.
In the dock at Reading Magis-
trates’ Court on Thursday, April
27, was 29-year-old Colin
Andrew Null of Newtown Road,
Newbury.
Clare Barclay, prosecuting,
said Mr Null had numerous
previous convictions and on this
occasion repeatedly swore at
police in Bartholomew Street,
Newbury.
She added: “There were lots of
people around, including young
children.”
Mr Null admitted using threat-
ening, abusive or insulting
words or behaviour on April 9.
Mike Davis, defending, said
his client had been homeless
and living in a tent but had
recently acquired hostel accom-
modation.
Mr Null told the court he had
given up alcohol.
District judge Shomon Khan
told him: “You’ve got a very bad
record but this is the best place
you’ve been in for a number of
years, it seems.
“I’m going to test your resolve
to stay out of trouble with a nine-
month conditional discharge.”
In addition he ordered Mr
Null to pay £85 costs plus a statu-
tory victim services surcharge
of £30.
Man, 58, convicted of
attacks on two people
A NEWBURY man has been
convicted of assaulting a
woman and a male.
In the dock at Reading Magis-
trates’ Court on Wednesday,
April 26, was 58-year-old Martin
Hardy of Kennet Place.
He admitted assaulting
Gabriella Slevin by beating her
in Newbury on January 30. He
further admitted committing the
same offence against Niall
O’Neill on the same occasion.
Mr Hardy was made subject to
a six-month conditional
discharge and ordered to pay £75
compensation, £85 costs plus a
statutory victim services
surcharge of £20.
Drive down retro street
A NUMBER of vintage and
classic cars were on display in
Newbury town centre at the
weekend.
Petrolheads were able to view
the array of retro and customised
cars, which lined Northbrook
Street and Parkway. Parkway
showcased two supercars while
Northbrook Street displayed
vintage and retro vehicles.
The display was organised by
Newbury BID and the Berkshire
Retro and Custom Club. Cars
ranged from a Scooby-powered
Beetle, an Escort RS turbo and a
Ford Capri, to the more modern,
highly-modified vehicles.
Newbury BID events manager
Laura Adamson, said: “Newbury
Car Display brought something
new to the high street and it was
a joy to see the public appreciat-
ing these unique vehicles.
“We would like to say a big
thank you to Berkshire Retro and
Custom Club for making this
display such a success and we
look forward to building on this
great event next year.”
