- 1930 to 1932
Normandy in the Press presents a past view and happenings
of the village as seen from selected reports and articles in the local papers.
The reader should note that until 1955 Normandy was predominantly part of
Ash, Willey Green was part of Worplesdon and a small part of Flexford was
in Wanborough.
The researched material held at County Libraries and Record Offices was
hand-copied over a number of years by society member Peter Trevaskis. Those
notes have been subsequently transcribed by members: Alan Norris, Eira and
James Nursaw; Emma Rafferty; Peter Blakiston and Stephen Cranstone.
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure correctness in the copying
and transcribing, readers are advised to refer to the original newspaper
source for the full account.

At the meeting of Ash Parish Council on Monday, a letter was read from

as far as possible of local labour.
The Aldershot and District Traction Company wrote stating that in May and
June of last year they were in correspondence with the Rural District Council
and the Surrey Constabulary, and the present stopping place at Ash Bridge
was selected as the best. Mr C D Manfield said he had discussed the matter
with Sergeant Budd, who suggested that the buses should turn at Ash Vale
Station, where there was plenty of room for them to wait. On the motion
of Mr J A Norris, a committee of three was appointed to meet Sergeant Budd
with a view to making suggestions.

collected from the house occupied by Mrs Davey at Normandy, and complaint
was also made that after the last collection of refuse, the road outside
the Vicarage was left in a disgusting state - Mr A W Milton said the contractor
was not doing 25% of the collections in the village. It was decided on

Council quoting the special case of Mrs Daveys' house.

on the path round the Village Hall at Normandy, and it was decided to communicate
