A few copies of this remarkable book are available - and make great Christmas presents for anyone connected to Buriton: children, family and friends.
The book charts a year in the life of the parish and is lavishly illustrated with more than 850 photographs.
What were sheep doing in the High Street? Why was a Hollywood superstar in Nursted? Why did a helicopter land on the Recreation Ground?
Some of the community activities that have taken place in the parish in recent years are featured in the South Downs National Park's latest newspaper.
A whole page of the July-December 2013 edition is devoted to some of the outcomes from the Buriton Parish Plan – including an interview with Susan Shone and a photograph of Aubrey and Rhoda Bicknell.
Villagers in Buriton's adopted community of Dominase - thousands of miles away in darkest Africa - are now learning more about life in Buriton.
Copies of ‘Buriton – the book of the year’ were recently taken to Ghana so that villagers there could find out more about life in Buriton – and about the people and events which help to raise funds for the African community.
Over 200 households collected their free copies of 'Buriton - the book of the year' on February 16th - but more copies are still available.
‘Buriton – the book of the year’ is a remarkable 248-page book charting a year in the life of the parish which is being provided, free of charge, to every household in the community.
The hardback book, lavishly illustrated with more than 850 photographs, is the result of an amazing community effort.
The hardback book about events and activities in the parish of Buriton during 2012 will be available for collection in the village hall from 10.30am to 4pm. One copy per household - free of charge.
The book will contain almost 250 pages with full colour photography throughout.
As a unique souvenir of Jubilee Year, a special full-colour hardback book is being produced to record activities in the parish during the year. A free copy of the book will be available for every household - early in 2013. But - your help is needed.
The organisers of the project want to make sure that all aspects of life in the parish are included – not just special events – so that the book provides a good record of ‘a year in the life of Buriton’.
