The London 2012 Olympic Flame will be coming to Mole Valley on the afternoon of Friday 20th July 2012 on its way to the Olympic Stadium in London on day 63 of its 70 day Relay around the UK. It will be travelling westwards from Reigate. For final details of the route see the LOCOG website or go the the Mole Valley District Council Website.
Dorking and Westcott are two of more than 1000 villages, towns and cities that will welcome the Olympic Flame as it makes its 8,000 mile journey around the UK. The flame will be carried by Torchbearers through both Dorking and Westcott before making its way to Stoke Park, Guildford for a ticketed evening celebration, which sold out in four hours, and overnight stop. The last time this happened in Dorking was in 1948.
Please check the road closures associated with all the events of the Olympic Games as these are likely to be extensive and prolonged. It will be especially important to know alternate routes in case of emergencies, such as having to go to Accident & Emergency departments at hospitals (for example). The Cycle Race takes place on Saturday 28th and Sunday 19th July.
A list of Road closures over the w/e 28th and 29th July will be placed in Carters Shop and Capel Newsagents. It would be wise to check before you travel to see if the route you plan to take will be affected by road closures. Be warned – for safety reasons roads are not re opening immediatley after the race has passed through.

Our trip to the National Memorial Arboretum was cancelled due to lack of support and instead we went to Longleat. What a wonderful day it turned out to be. The sun shone and all the animals were out, really enjoying the sunshine. After a lovely lunch some of us went around the beautiful house, whilst others chose to go on a boat trip – altogether a really lovely day!
On May 28th we started our Jubilee Celebrations early with a delicious lunch cooked and served by our Committee, followed by a Royal Quiz.
This Monday June 18th sees us going to Eastbourne but, according to the weather forecast, we won’t be having our usual ‘Evergreens’ weather. However, we will have a good time. K.R.
Mole Valley engineers have agreed to repaint the wording and background on the Mortimer Road street name plates. It seems this is common practice now as new plates are too expensive and of poorer quality. The existing plates will shortly be removed and temporary signs installed during the repainting.

The allotments, recently started through the generosity of the Dale family, were recently put up for a weekly charitable giving project at Dorking’s Waitrose Store. As a result of the votes from customers, £320 was raised towards costs. The present plan is to build an Eco Loo on the site. Congratulations!
