Wed, 06 Aug 2008

Overall SATs results for 11-year-olds in the Royal Borough are looking good - despite the uncertainty surrounding a substantial minority of individual papers.

National concern about the quality and reliability of the marking of the Key Stage 2 tests, held in May, extend to the borough - more than 100 papers have been returned by primary schools to the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority for... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (thamesweb) http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/915 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:17:54 GMT <![CDATA[ Old London Transport Buses in Windsor ]]> http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/914/t/Old-London-Transport-Buses-in-Windsor.html The Amersham Motorbus Society are taking part in Worcester Park Running Day on Sunday 10 August 2008 where a total of 37 vintage vehicles are scheduled for operation on many routes to Worcester Park which is near Surbiton. feeds@yuku.com (thamesweb) http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/914 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 08:33:58 GMT <![CDATA[ Windsor 1960s ]]> http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/913/t/Windsor-1960s.html Hello,

I am currently in the process of writing a novel set in Windsor during the 1960s. To date, I've have found this website to be more than a vital lifeline. I would, however, be grateful if anyone can provide any further information of life during the period of around the mid-sixties or any photographs of the town at the time. Even first hand experience or memories would be greatly appreciated.

Royal Borough motorists caught driving without a seat belt have a new choice to make - pay a fine or attend an awareness workshop.

The first workshop in the borough was held on Monday (July 28) at the Town Hall in Maidenhead with 39 participants attending, following roadside checks last week.

The checks took place at locations in Windsor and Maidenhead on Tuesday July 22 and Wednesday July 23, for four hours each day, as... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (thamesweb) http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/912 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 04:41:37 GMT <![CDATA[ A Rare Letter from the Windsor Political Desk ]]> http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/911/t/A-Rare-Letter-from-the-Windsor-Political-Desk.html Who Sold You This Then?' with John Cleese, it is a crying shame that his 'Yes Minister' training films... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (thamesweb) http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/911 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:21:54 GMT <![CDATA[ Guess who is a Blessed Snowdrop... ]]> http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/910/t/Guess-who-is-a-Blessed-Snowdrop-.html
