Dr Margaret Stanier

It all adds up for Dr Margaret!

Congratulations to Margaret Stanier, of 110 Piccotts End, who has just earned herself a PhD at the ripe young age of 80! Dr Stanier, to give her new official salutation, joins a long list of village boffins who have raised the IQ of PIQcotts End! Margaret, who is pictured here in her graduation robes of the Open University, took her doctorate in Pure Mathematics – an amazing feat which leaves all us maths duds in awe and admiration.

Village gas alert

A village resident has had to call in gas engineers after recent work connecting her house back to the main supply led to a leak. Now, Margaret Stanier of 110 PE is advising other residents to do the same if they smell gas.

Holly’s marathon triumph

Piccotts End Supermum Holly Cross has done it again! Running only her second London Marathon at the weekend, Holly crossed the line in a personal best time of 4hrs 48 minutes – nearly half an hour quicker than the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt! Holly was running to raise money for the Anthony Nolan Trust.
