Welcome to the 36 Grays Lane guestbook.

Please feel free to express your feelings below, but try to keep it polite!

It seems that the guestbook software is throwing a few glitches. We've had a few reports of random "permanent bannings" and posts disappearing. Please accept our apologies if either of these happen to you and, if you want to enter a message but it won't allow you, feel free to email your message and the name / location you'd like put to the email on the home-page

We've found that the vast majority of Ashtead residents are overwhelmingly supportive of SSAFA, Headley Court, the Armed Forces and our campaign. The 90 or so objectors, and their attitudes, do not represent most Ashtead residents from everything we've seen. Please, in thanks to all those people, bear that in mind when posting!

Thank you to everyone who's helped achieve this wonderful result. We've known from the outset that the concerns raised were misplaced. SSAFA and the families concerned will now have the chance to prove that. We know they'll be more than equal to the task.

Oh, and thanks for all the fish

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		I had not previously been aware of this web site until I listened to the BBC news this morning (1 Aug 07). I have spent the last hour looking over the site, reading, learning more and generally being impressed. Well done, this is top quality stuff, well researched, well delivered and I am not surprised you have achieved the aim. Outstanding and moving.

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		It is good to see that common sense prevails for once and the council have seen this worthwhile cause for what it is and not what some would portay it as.
Congratulations to all who have worked hard to see it to a satisfactory conclusion

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		I became aware of this issue through a link provided by one of our forum members, which I then researched and wrote a piece about on my own Yahoo Blog. I've watched the whole story unfold with interest ever since and now, what a wonderful result!
There are still happy endings in this world, amazingly enough. I am really happy for all of you and congratulate everyone involved. Fantastic!

Good luck.

 To Barbara of Ashtead.
I understand your views completely ... we had a couple of roads in Camberley of similar character [in all meanings of the word]. Full of self-centred, self-aggrandising, "We have arrived" individuals. I know, because I lived in one of them !!!
However, let's just look forward to a better prospect for those families who have given so much, and let those objectors in Gray's Lane [and others] ponder on what they have done.
God bless the Councillors and Officers, and the people of Ashtead who supported the cause.

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		So very pleased this has got through.
Anyone who has a bit of knowledge about SSAFA would know that anything SSAFA has to do with is always above board,of the highest quality and very worthwhile.

SSAFA are always after volunteers to help with their case working.

Contact your local branch to see what you can do for them.I have been helping them out with visits to various clients for a couple of years and really recomend the experience.
A truly wonderful charity to be associated with !

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		What a great result, it would be fabulous if everyone who signed the petition now donated £10 each to SSAFA to help pay for this much needed facility. Now that would be showing support, perhaps more difficult than a few clicks of a keyboard but a huge boost to SSAFA. I know I am going to, so come on, I throw out a challenge!
